Contemporaneously with the entry into the Purchase Agreement, the Company and the Purchasers agreed to exchange outstanding warrants to purchase 780,506 shares of the Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.50 per share for new Class B Warrants to purchase an equal number of shares of Common Stock at the same exercise price (the “Class B Warrants”). The issuance of the Class B Warrants in exchange for such outstanding warrants was made in reliance on the exemption from registration under the Securities Act provided by Section 3(a)(9) under the Securities Act.
The Purchase Agreement contains representations and warranties of the Company and the Investors that are typical for transactions of this type. The Purchase Agreement also contains covenants on the part of the Company that are typical for transactions of this type, as well as a prohibition on the Company’s ability to enter into equity line financings or other variable rate transactions.
In connection with the entry into the Purchase Agreement, the Investors and the Company also entered into a registration rights agreement whereby the Company agreed to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) within 45 days of the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement (the “Filing Date”) covering the resale of (a) all shares of Common Stock Issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares, (b) all shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Class A Warrants and Class B Warrants (the “Warrants”), (c) any additional shares of Common Stock issuable in connection with any anti-dilution provisions in the Warrants, and (d) any securities issued or then issuable upon any stock split, dividend or other distribution, recapitalization or similar event (“Registrable Securities”), not then registered. The Company will use its reasonable best efforts to cause such registration statement to be declared effective by the SEC (such date, the “Effectiveness Date”) within 90 days of the Filing Date.
If (i) the registration statement is not filed on or prior to the Filing Date, (ii) the Company fails to file with the SEC a request for acceleration of a registration statement within 5 calendar days of the date that the Company is notified by the SEC that such registration statement will not be reviewed or will not be subject to further review, (iii) prior to the effective date of a registration statement, the Company fails to file a pre-effective amendment and otherwise respond in writing to comments made by the SEC in respect of such registration statement within 30 days after the receipt of comments by or notice from the SEC that such amendment is required in order for such registration statement to be declared effective, (iv) the registration statement is not declared effective by the Effectiveness Date or (v) certain other events described in the registration rights agreement (each, an “Event”), then the Company shall pay liquidated damages to the Investors in an amount equal to 1% of the aggregate purchase price paid by the Investors on the day of delinquency and each 30th day of delinquency thereafter. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the maximum aggregate liquidated damages due under the Registration Rights Agreement shall be 10% of the aggregate purchase price paid by the Investors.
Class A Warrants are exercisable immediately and expire on May 3, 2021, and have an exercise price of $1.75 per share. The Class B Warrants are exercisable immediately and expire on November 3, 2020, and have an exercise price of $1.50. The Class A Warrants and Class B Warrants otherwise have similar terms, including, a “full ratchet” anti-dilution adjustment in the event that the Company issues any common stock at a per share price lower than the applicable exercise price then in effect.

The Company may pay such dividends, at its option, in cash, Common Stock or a combination thereof. Payment of dividends in shares of Common Stock is subject to the satisfaction of certain equity conditions set forth in the Certificate of Designations. Upon the conversion of Preferred Shares prior to November 3, 2020, the Company shall also pay to the Holders of the Preferred Shares so converted cash, or at the Company’s option, Common Stock or a combination thereof, with respect to the Preferred Shares so converted in an amount equal to $270 per $1,000 of Stated Value of the Preferred Shares being converted, less the amount of all prior dividends paid on such converted Preferred Shares before the relevant date of conversion.
