3. Settlement Shares. Upon entry of an order by the Court substantially in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit A (the “Order”), and subject to Shareholder Approval for that portion of Shares of Common Stock which are in excess of 19.99% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock on Settlement Date, the Company shall issue and deliver to CCI shares of its Common Stock as follows:

 

a. In settlement of the Claims, the Company shall issue and deliver to CCI shares of Common Stock equal to the Claim Amount divided by the Share Price (the “Initial Issuance”), subject to adjustment and ownership limitations as set forth below. Such shares of Common Stock shall be freely trading securities issued pursuant to Section 3(a)(10) of the Securities Act (the “Settlement Shares”). The Initial Issuance may be completed in one or more tranches as determined by CCI in its discretion (each, a “Tranche”).

In the event the Company effectuates a forward or reverse stock split of the Company’s Common Stock while any obligations are owed to CCI pursuant to this Agreement by Company, then the reserve shares shall be proportionately adjusted. Thereafter, within one business day following receipt of a Share Request from CCI, the Company shall issue and deliver to CCI the applicable number of Settlement Shares as Direct Registration Systems (DRS) shares to CCI’s account with the Depository Trust Company (DTC) or through the Fast Automated Securities Transfer (FAST) Program of DTC’s Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian (DWAC) system, without any legends or restrictions on transfer, sufficient to satisfy the applicable Share Request. The Company shall be fully responsible for all of the Transfer Agent’s costs for each and every issuance of Settlement Shares to CCI. The Company shall provide CCI, upon the request by CCI at any time prior to the Termination Date, with a shareholder report containing the number of issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock.

 

c. Within 10 days of the date that CCI has sold the last of the Settlement Shares, CCI shall provide the Company with: (i) brokerage statements showing the date of sale of each Settlement Share and the gross proceeds received by CCI from the sale of such Settlement Shares; and (ii) a statement that specifies (A) the aggregate gross proceeds received by CCI from the sale of the Settlement Shares (the “Aggregate Gross Proceeds”), and (B) the amount, if any, by which the Target Gross Proceeds exceed the Aggregate Gross Proceeds. In the event the Target Gross Proceeds exceed the Aggregate Gross Proceeds (such amount, the “Shortfall Amount”), then CCI shall provide the Company with a final Share Request for additional shares of Common Stock (the “Additional Settlement Shares”). The number of Additional Settlement Shares shall be equal to the Shortfall Amount specified on the Share Request divided by the Share Price specified on the Share Request. Thereafter, CCI shall not provide the Company with any additional Share Requests and the Company will have no obligation to issuance any additional shares of Common Stock to CCI. In the event the Aggregate Gross Proceeds equal or exceed the Target Gross Proceeds, then CCI will not provide the Company with any additional Share Requests and the Company will have no obligation to issue any additional shares of Common Stock to CCI.

d. The Parties acknowledge that the number of Settlement Shares along with any Additional Settlement Shares to be issued pursuant to this Agreement is indeterminable as of the date of its execution, and could well exceed the current existing number of shares outstanding as of the date of its execution which shall be obtained by the Company.

 

e. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, it is the intention of the Parties that the Settlement Shares and any Additional Settlement Shares beneficially owned by CCI at any given time, when aggregated with all other shares of the Company then beneficially owned by CCI, or deemed beneficially owned by CCI, shall not exceed 4.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding shares on such date as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and the regulations promulgated thereunder. The Company shall not under any circumstances issue that portion of the shares of Common Stock in settlement of the claim which are in excess of 19.99% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock of Company on the Settlement Date or any other date unless and until Shareholder Approval has been obtained.

 

f. In the event that the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to CCI pursuant to any Share Request is not a whole number, then the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to CCI will be round up to the nearest whole number.

 

4. Necessary Action. At all times after the execution of this Agreement and entry of the Order by the Court, each party hereto agrees to take or cause to be taken all such necessary action including, without limitation, the execution and delivery of such further instruments and documents, as may be reasonably requested by any party for such purposes or otherwise necessary to effect and complete the transactions contemplated hereby.

 

5. Releases. Effective on the date CCI receives all of the Settlement Shares and/or Additional Settlement Shares it is entitled to under the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and except for the obligations, representations, indemnifications pursuant to Paragraph 15 herein and covenants arising or made hereunder or a breach hereof, each Party hereby releases, acquits and forever discharges the other Party and each, every and all of their respective current and past officers, directors, shareholders, affiliated corporations, subsidiaries, agents, employees, representatives, attorneys, predecessors, successors and assigns, of and from any and all claims, damages, cause of action, suits and costs, of whatever nature, character or description, whether known or unknown, anticipated or unanticipated, which the Parties may now have or may hereafter have or claim to have against each other with respect to the Claims. The obligations of the Parties under this Agreement shall be deemed concluded upon receipt by CCI of all of the Settlement Shares and Additional Settlement Shares pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
