Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act, and includes any shares as to which the security or stockholder has sole or shared voting power or investment power, and also any shares which the security or stockholder has the right to acquire within 60 days of March 25, 2020, whether through the exercise or conversion of any stock option, convertible security, warrant or other right. The indication herein that shares are beneficially owned is not an admission on the part of the security or stockholder that he, she or it is a direct or indirect beneficial owner of those shares. Percentage of shares beneficially owned after the resale of all the shares offered by this prospectus assumes there are outstanding 9,016,550 shares of common stock.

Agreements with Selling Stockholders

 

Registration Rights Agreements

 

In February 2013, November 2013 and August 2014, in connection with various loans received from Lambda, we entered into registration rights agreements with Lambda. Pursuant to these agreements, we agreed to file, upon a demand by Lambda, a registration statement covering the resale by Lambda of certain of the common stock held by Lambda. We also agreed to pay all of the expenses, including reasonable legal fees, of Lambda in connection with the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part and the resale of shares by Lambda under the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. We are obligated to use our reasonable best efforts to keep such registration statement continuously effective until such time as all the securities registered on such registration statement on behalf of Lambda have been sold or are eligible for sale without restriction under the applicable securities laws. The registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part has satisfied all of our registration obligations to Lambda as of the date of this prospectus. Lambda’s rights under the registration rights agreements were assigned to the Wexford Assignees pro rata in conjunction with the assignment of the Secondary Securities.

 

Investor Rights Agreement

 

In connection with our September 2007 financing, we entered into an investor rights agreement with the investors pursuant to which we agreed to take such corporate actions as may be required, among other things, to entitle Lambda (i) to nominate two individuals having reasonably appropriate experience and background to our Board of Directors (the “Board”) to serve as directors until their respective successor(s) are elected and qualified, (ii) to nominate each successor to the Lambda nominees, provided that any successor will have reasonably appropriate experience and background, and (iii) to direct the removal from the Board of any director nominated under the foregoing clauses (i) or (ii). Under the investor rights agreement, we are required to convene meetings of the Board at least once every three months. If we fail to do so, a Lambda director will be empowered to convene such meeting. Arthur Amron and Paul Mieyal are the current Lambda directors. Lambda’s rights under the investor rights agreement were assigned to the Wexford Assignees pro rata in conjunction with the assignment of the Secondary Securities.
