(a)          Unless it shall have been determined by such date pursuant to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement that the Company shall not be required to deliver the Registration Rights Penalty Warrants, the Company shall include in the proxy statement for its next annual meeting of stockholders of the Company (but in no event shall the meeting date in respect of such proxy be later than December 31, 2012) an item on the ballot for approval by the stockholders of the Company, of a proposal that satisfies  the Stockholder Approval Condition and will use its reasonable best efforts to respond to any comments of the Commission and to cause the definitive proxy statement relating to the Stockholder Approval Condition (the “Proxy Statement”) to be mailed to the Company’s stockholders as promptly as reasonably practicable after responding to all such comments to the satisfaction of the SEC.  The Company shall, through its Board of Directors, recommend to its stockholders that the Stockholder Approval Condition be satisfied by stockholders of the Company entitled to vote at the Company Stockholder Meeting.  The Company may elect to satisfy its obligations under this Section 4.2(a) through an action by majority written consent of the stockholders, effective not later than December 31, 2012, in which case an information statement shall be substituted for any reference to a proxy statement in this Section 4.2.
 
(b)          The Company will notify the Purchasers promptly of the receipt of any comments from the Commission and of any request by the Commission for amendments or supplements to the Proxy Statement or for additional information, and will supply the Purchasers with copies of all correspondence between the Company or any of its representatives, on the one hand, and the Commission, on the other hand, with respect to the Proxy Statement.  If at any time prior to the Company Stockholder Meeting there shall occur any event that should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement, the Company will promptly prepare and mail to its stockholders such an amendment or supplement.  The Company will not mail any Proxy Statement, or
 
 
22

 

any amendment or supplement thereto, to which any Purchaser reasonably objects after being afforded the opportunity to review the same.  The Purchasers shall cooperate with the Company in the preparation of the Proxy Statement or and in responding to comments of the Commission, and the Purchasers shall promptly notify the Company if any information supplied by it for inclusion in the Proxy Statement shall have become false or misleading, and shall cooperate with the Company in disseminating the Proxy Statement, as so amended or supplemented, to correct any such false or misleading information.
 
4.3           Acknowledgment of Dilution.  The Company acknowledges that the issuance of the Shares may result in dilution of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.  The Company further acknowledges that its obligations under the Transaction Documents, including without limitation its obligation to issue the Shares pursuant to the Transaction Documents, are unconditional and absolute and not subject to any right of set off, counterclaim, delay or reduction, regardless of the effect of any such dilution or any claim the Company may have against the Purchaser and regardless of the dilutive effect that such issuance may have on the ownership of the other stockholders of the Company.
 
4.4           Furnishing of Information.  In order to enable the Purchasers to sell the Shares under Rule 144 of the Securities Act, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the registration of the Shares under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act for as long as the Company is required to under applicable law and to timely file (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof pursuant to the Exchange Act for as long as the Company is subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act.
 
4.5           Form D and Blue Sky.  The Company agrees to timely file a Form D with respect to the Shares as required under Regulation D.  The Company, on or before the Closing Date, shall take such action as the Company shall reasonably determine is necessary in order to obtain an exemption for or to qualify the Shares for sale to the Purchasers at the Closing pursuant to this Agreement under applicable securities or “Blue Sky” laws of the states of the United States (or to obtain an exemption from such qualification).  The Company shall make all filings and reports relating to the offer and sale of the Shares required under applicable securities or “Blue Sky” laws of the states of the United States following the Closing Date.
 
4.6           No Integration.  The Company shall not, and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that no Affiliate of the Company shall, sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of any security (as defined in Section 2 of the Securities Act) that will be integrated with the offer or sale of the Shares in a manner that would require the registration under the Securities Act of the sale of the Shares to the Purchasers, or that will be integrated with the offer or sale of the Shares for purposes of the rules and regulations of any Trading Market such that it would require stockholder approval prior to the closing of such other transaction unless stockholder approval is obtained before the closing of such subsequent transaction.
 
4.7           Securities Laws Disclosure: Publicity.  By 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Trading Day immediately following the execution of this Agreement, the Company shall issue a press release (“Press Release”) disclosing all material terms of the transactions contemplated

hereby.  On or before 9:00 a.m., Eastern Standard Time, on or before the fourth Trading Day immediately following the execution of this Agreement, the Company will file a Current Report on Form 8-K with the Commission describing the terms of the Transaction Documents (and including as exhibits to such Current Report on Form 8-K the material Transaction Documents (including, without limitation, this Agreement)).  Each Purchaser covenants, as to itself, that until such time as the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are publicly disclosed by the Company as described in this Section 4.7, such Purchaser will maintain the confidentiality of all disclosures made to it in connection with this transaction (including the existence and terms of this transaction),.
 
4.8          Indemnification
 
(a)          Indemnification of the Purchasers.  The Company will indemnify and hold each Purchaser and its respective directors, officers, stockholders, members, partners, employees and agents (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title), each Person who controls such Purchaser (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, stockholders, agents, members, partners or employees (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title) of such controlling person (each, a “Purchaser Party”) harmless from any and all losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, contingencies, damages, costs and expenses, including all judgments, amounts paid in settlements, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of investigation that such Purchaser Party may suffer or incur arising from or relating to any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by the Company in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents.  The Company will not be liable to any Purchaser Party under this Agreement to the extent, but only to the extent that a loss, claim, damage or liability is attributable to such Purchaser Party’s breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by such Purchaser Party in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents.
 
(b)          Each Purchaser will severally and not jointly indemnify and hold the Company and its directors, officers, stockholders, members, partners, employees and agents (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title), each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, stockholders, agents, members, partners or employees (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title) of such controlling person (each, a “Company Party”) harmless from any and all losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, contingencies, damages, costs and expenses, including all judgments, amounts paid in settlements, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of investigation that the Company Party may suffer arising from or relating to (i) any of the representations and warranties made by such Purchaser in this agreement or (ii) any failure by such Purchaser to comply with the covenants and agreements contained in Section 4.1 hereof respecting transfers of the Shares.
 
(c)          Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings.  Promptly after receipt by any Person (the “Indemnified Person”) of notice of any demand, claim or circumstances which would or might give rise to a claim or the commencement of any action, proceeding or investigation in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section 4.8(a) or (b), such Indemnified Person shall

 
24

 

promptly notify the Company and the other Purchasers or if the Indemnified Person is the Company, shall notify the Purchasers, as applicable (the party against whom indemnity may be sought hereinafter referred to as the “Indemnifying Person”), in writing and the Indemnifying Person shall assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person, and shall assume the payment of all fees and expenses; provided, however, that the failure of any Indemnified Person to so notify the Indemnifying Person shall not relieve the Indemnifying Person of its obligations hereunder except to the extent that the Indemnifying Person is actually and materially and adversely prejudiced by such failure to notify.  In any such proceeding, any Indemnified Person shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Person unless: (i) the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel; (ii) the Indemnifying Person shall have failed promptly to assume the defense of such proceeding and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person in such proceeding; or (iii) in the reasonable judgment of counsel to the Indemnified Person, there exists or shall exist a conflict of interest that would make it inappropriate for the same counsel to represent both the Indemnified Person and the Indemnifying Person.  The Indemnifying Person shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned unless the Indemnifying Person fails to defend any proceeding or fails to promptly respond to a settlement offer.  Without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Person, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, the Indemnifying Person shall not effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Person is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person from all liability arising out of such proceeding.
 
4.9           Listing of Common Stock.  To the extent required by the Principal Trading Market, the Company shall prepare and file with the Principal Trading Market an additional shares listing application covering all of the Shares in the time and manner required by the Principal Trading Market.
 
4.10           Use of Proceeds.  The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the sale of the Shares hereunder for working capital purposes.
 
4.11           Short Sales After The Date Hereof.  Each Purchaser agrees, as to itself, not to use any of the restricted Shares acquired pursuant to this Agreement to cover any Short Sales in the Common Stock of the Company if doing so would be in violation of applicable securities laws in the holding and sale of the Shares.
 
4.12           Inspection Rights.  Each Purchaser agrees, as to itself, that it and its employees, agents and representatives will keep confidential and will not disclose, divulge or use (other than for purposes of monitoring its investment in the Company) any confidential information which such Purchaser may obtain from the Company pursuant to financial statements, reports and other materials submitted by the Company to such Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement granted hereunder, unless such information is known to the public through no fault of such Purchaser or its employees or representatives; provided, however, that such Purchaser may disclose such information (i) to its attorneys, accountants and other professionals in connection with their representation of such Purchaser in connection with the Purchasers’ investment in the Company,

 
25

 

(ii) to any prospective permitted transferee of the Shares, so long as the prospective transferee agrees in writing to be bound by the provisions of this Section 4.12, or (iii) to any general partner or affiliate of such Purchaser.

6.5           Construction.  The headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.  The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rules of strict construction will be applied against any party.  This Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provisions of this Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents.
 
6.6           Successors and Assigns.  The provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties and their successors and permitted assigns.  Except as otherwise provided in the Transaction Documents, neither this Agreement, nor any rights or obligations hereunder or under any of the other Transaction Documents, may be assigned by the Company or any Purchaser without the prior written consent of the other parties.
 
6.7           No Third-Party Beneficiaries.  This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and, except as set forth in Section 4.1(d) hereof, is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person.
 
6.8           Governing Law.  All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof.  Each party agrees that all Proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and any other Transaction Documents (whether brought against a party hereto or its respective Affiliates, employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively in the applicable courts located in the State of New York.  Each party hereto hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the applicable courts located in the County of New York, State of New York for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein (including with respect to the enforcement of any of the Transaction Documents), and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any Proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such courts located in the County of New York, State of New York, or that such Proceeding has been commenced in an improper or inconvenient forum.  Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such Proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof.  Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law.  EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

30

 

6.10         Execution.  This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party, it being understood that both parties need not sign the same counterpart.  In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission, or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf’ format data file, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile signature page were an original thereof.
 
6.11         Severability.  If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable in any respect, the validity and enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and the parties will attempt to agree upon a valid and enforceable provision that is a reasonable substitute therefor, and upon so agreeing, shall incorporate such substitute provision in this Agreement.
 
6.12         Replacement of Shares.  If any certificate or instrument evidencing any Shares is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation thereof, or in lieu of and substitution therefor, a new certificate or instrument, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the Transfer Agent of such loss, theft or destruction and the execution by the holder thereof of a customary lost certificate affidavit of that fact and an agreement to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the Transfer Agent for any losses in connection therewith or, if required by the Transfer Agent, a bond in such form and amount as is required by the Transfer Agent.  The applicants for a new certificate or instrument under such circumstances shall also pay any reasonable third- party costs associated with the issuance of such replacement Shares.  If a replacement certificate or instrument evidencing any Shares is requested due to a mutilation thereof, the Company may require delivery of such mutilated certificate or instrument as a condition precedent to any issuance of a replacement.
 
6.13         Remedies.  In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, the Purchasers and the Company will be entitled to specific performance under the Transaction Documents.  The parties agree that monetary damages may not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of obligations described in the foregoing sentence and hereby agree to waive in any action for specific performance of any such obligation (other than in connection with any action for a temporary restraining order) the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.
 
6.14         Payment Set Aside.  To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to the Purchasers pursuant to any Transaction Document or any Purchaser enforces or exercises its rights thereunder, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from, disgorged by or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the Company, a trustee, receiver or any other Person under any law (including, without limitation, any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent of any such restoration the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.

 
31

 

6.15         Rescission and Withdrawal Right.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in (and without limiting any similar provisions of) the Transaction Documents, whenever any Purchaser exercises a right, election, demand or option under a Transaction Document and the Company does not timely perform its related obligations within the periods therein provided, then such Purchaser may rescind or withdraw, in its sole discretion from time to time upon written notice to the Company, any relevant notice, demand or election in whole or in part without prejudice to its future actions and rights.

Dear Sirs:
 
As an inducement to Rho Ventures VI, L.P. (“Rho”), Quantum Industrial Partners LDC (“Soros”) and Prentice Consumer Partners, LP (“Prentice”; and together with Rho and Soros, the “Purchasers”) to execute a securities purchase agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with Bluefly, Inc., a Delaware Corporation (the “Company”), providing for the purchase of common stock (the “Common Stock”) of the Company, the undersigned hereby agrees that without, in each case, the prior written consent of the Company and each of the Purchasers during the period specified in the second succeeding paragraph (the “Lock-Up Period”), the undersigned will not (1) offer, pledge, announce the intention to sell, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, make any short sale or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into, exercisable or exchangeable for or that represent the right to receive Common Stock (including without limitation, Common Stock which may be deemed to be beneficially owned by the undersigned in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (subject to the last sentence of this paragraph) and securities which may be issued upon exercise of a stock option or warrant) whether now owned or hereafter acquired (the “Undersigned’s Securities”) or (2) enter into any swap or other agreement that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Undersigned’s Securities, whether any such transaction described in clause (1) or (2) above is to be settled by delivery of Common Stock or such other securities, in cash or otherwise.  The foregoing restriction is expressly agreed to preclude the undersigned from engaging in any hedging or other transaction which is designed to or which reasonably could be expected to lead to or result in a sale or disposition of the Undersigned’s Securities even if such Securities would be disposed of by someone other than the undersigned.  Such prohibited hedging or other transactions would include without limitation any short sale or any purchase, sale or grant of any right (including without limitation any put or call option) with respect to any of the Undersigned’s Securities or with respect to any security that includes, relates to, or derives any significant part of its value from such Securities.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term “Undersigned’s Securities” shall not include shares of, exercisable or exchangeable for or that represent the right to receive Common Stock or securities convertible into Common Stock held

 
Ex. C-1-1

 

by venture capital or hedge funds, the ultimate controlling party of which the undersigned is affiliated with through a management or other controlling position.

In addition, the undersigned agrees that, without the prior written consent of each of the Purchasers, it will not, during the Lock-Up Period, make any demand for or exercise any right with respect to, the registration of any Common Stock or any security convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock.

The Lock-Up Period will commence on the date of this Agreement and continue until the earlier of (a) the date on which the undersigned ceases to be an officer or director of the Company or (b) 365 days after the date hereof (including the 365th day).
 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the undersigned may transfer the Undersigned’s Securities (i) as a bona fide gift or gifts and (ii) to any trust for the direct or indirect benefit of the undersigned or the immediate family of the undersigned; provided, in each case, that (x) such transfer shall not involve a disposition for value, (y) the transferee agrees in writing with each of the Purchasers to be bound by the terms of this Lock-Up Agreement, and (z) no filing by any party under Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), shall be required or shall be made voluntarily in connection with such transfer.  For purposes of this Agreement, “immediate family” shall mean any relationship by blood, marriage or adoption, nor more remote than first cousin.
 
In addition, the foregoing restrictions shall not apply to (i) the exercise of stock options granted pursuant to the Company’s equity incentive plans; provided that such restrictions shall apply to any of the Undersigned’s Securities issued upon such exercise, (ii) the cashless exercise or net exercise of any equity compensation award granted pursuant to the Company’s equity incentive plans; provided that such restrictions shall apply to any of the Undersigned’s Securities issued upon such exercise, or (iii) the establishment of any contract, instruction or plan (a “Plan”) that satisfies all of the requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c)(1)(i)(B) under the Exchange Act; provided that no sales of the Undersigned’s Securities shall be made pursuant to such a Plan prior to the expiration of the Lock-Up Period, and such a Plan may only be established if no public announcement of the establishment or existence thereof and no filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission or other regulatory authority in respect thereof or transactions thereunder or contemplated thereby, by the undersigned, the Company or any other person, shall be required, and no such announcement or filing is made voluntarily, by the undersigned, the Company or any other person, prior to the expiration of the Lock-Up Period (as such may have been extended pursuant to the provisions hereof).
 
In furtherance of the foregoing, the Company and its transfer agent and registrar are hereby authorized to decline to make any transfer of shares of Common Stock if such transfer would constitute a violation or breach of this Agreement.
 
The undersigned hereby represents and warrants that the undersigned has full power and authority to enter into this Agreement. All authority herein conferred or agreed to be conferred and any obligations of the undersigned shall be binding upon the successors, assigns, heirs or personal representatives of the undersigned.
 
The undersigned understands that the Purchasers are entering into the Securities Purchase Agreement in reliance upon this Agreement.

VIII.
No Violations
 
Each of the parties hereto agree that no party hereto shall be obligated to comply with any provisions of this Agreement relating to the voting of shares of capital stock of the Company if doing so would constitute a violation of law or public policy.
