Regulation D Offering Subscriber represents that it is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and acknowledges the sale contemplated hereby is being made in reliance on a private placement exemption to “accredited investors” within the meaning of Section 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act or similar exemptions under state law.
Underwritten Offering Subject to the provisions of subsection 2.1.4 and Section 2.4 hereof, if a majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders so advise the Company as part of their Demand Registration that the offering of the Registrable Securities pursuant to such Demand Registration shall be in the form of an Underwritten Offering, then the right of such Demanding Holder or Requesting Holder (if any) to include its Registrable Securities in such Registration shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in such Underwritten Offering and the inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in such Underwritten Offering to the extent provided herein. All such Holders proposing to distribute their Registrable Securities through an Underwritten Offering under this subsection 2.1.3 shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the Underwriter(s) selected for such Underwritten Offering by the majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders initiating the Demand Registration.
Piggyback Underwritten Offerings In the case of a registration pursuant to Section 2.2 which involves an underwritten offering, the Company shall enter into an underwriting agreement in connection therewith and all of the Participating Holders’ Registrable Securities to be included in such registration shall be subject to such underwriting agreement. Any Participating Holder may, at its option, require that any or all of the representations and warranties by, and the other agreements on the part of, the Company to and for the benefit of such underwriters shall also be made to and for the benefit of such Participating Holder and that any or all of the conditions precedent to the obligations of such underwriters under such underwriting agreement be conditions precedent to the obligations of such Participating Holder; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to make any representations or warranties with respect to written information specifically provided by a Participating Holder for inclusion in the registration statement. Each such Participating Holder shall not be required to make any representations or warranties to or agreements with the Company or the underwriters other than representations, warranties or agreements regarding such Participating Holder, its ownership of and title to the Registrable Securities, any written information specifically provided by such Participating Holder for inclusion in the registration statement and its intended method of distribution; and any liability of such Participating Holder to any underwriter or other Person under such underwriting agreement shall be limited to the amount of the net proceeds received by such Participating Holder upon the sale of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the registration statement and shall be limited to liability for written information specifically provided by such Participating Holder.
Offering If the staff of the SEC (the “Staff”) or the SEC seeks to characterize any offering pursuant to a Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Agreement as constituting an offering of securities that does not permit such Registration Statement to become effective and be used for resales by the Investor under Rule 415 at then-prevailing market prices (and not fixed prices), or if after the filing of the initial Registration Statement with the SEC pursuant to Section 2(a), the Company is otherwise required by the Staff or the SEC to reduce the number of Registrable Securities included in such initial Registration Statement, then the Company shall reduce the number of Registrable Securities to be included in such initial Registration Statement (with the prior consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, of the Investor and its legal counsel as to the specific Registrable Securities to be removed therefrom) until such time as the Staff and the SEC shall so permit such Registration Statement to become effective and be used as aforesaid. In the event of any reduction in Registrable Securities pursuant to this paragraph, the Company shall file one or more New Registration Statements in accordance with Section 2(c) until such time as all Registrable Securities have been included in Registration Statements that have been declared effective and the prospectus contained therein is available for use by the Investor. Notwithstanding any provision herein or in the Purchase Agreement to the contrary, the Company’s obligations to register Registrable Securities (and any related conditions to the Investor’s obligations) shall be qualified as necessary to comport with any requirement of the SEC or the Staff as addressed in this Section 2(d).
Underwritten Offerings (a) The Initiating Holder shall have the right to select the book-running managers and the co-managers (collectively, the “managing underwriter”) in connection with any underwritten offering pursuant to Section 2 or Section 3; provided, that the selection of the managing underwriter by the Initiating Holder shall be subject to the reasonable approval of the Board. In connection with such underwritten offering, the Company and the Initiating Holder shall enter into an underwriting agreement with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting, provided, that such underwriting agreement is in customary form, provides for customary compensation, expense reimbursement and indemnification, and otherwise is reasonably acceptable to the Initiating Holder and the Company. (b) Upon the receipt by the Company of an Underwritten Demand Notice or a Shelf Underwritten Demand Notice, the Company shall give prompt written notice to all Holders of Registrable Securities (other than the Initiating Holder) that an underwritten offering pursuant to Section 2 or Section 3, as applicable is being effected. In the event that any such Holder delivers to the Company, within fifteen (15) days after the delivery of such written notice to the Holder by the Company, a written request to include in such underwritten offering any Registrable Securities of the Holder, the Company shall include such Registrable Securities in the registration statement; provided that the Company need not include in an underwritten offering pursuant to Section 3 any Registrable Securities that are not then included in the applicable Shelf Registration Statement (unless the Company is then a WKSI). The right of any Holder to include Registrable Securities in any underwritten offering shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s willingness to enter into an underwriting agreement with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such offering (in each case, unless otherwise mutually agreed by such Holder, the Initiating Holders and the Company). (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the managing underwriter of an underwritten offering in connection with any registration pursuant to Section 2 or Section 3 advises the Company and the Holders of Registrable Securities participating in such offering in writing that in its good faith judgment the number of Registrable Securities requested to be included in such offering exceeds the number of Registrable Securities which can be sold in such offering at a price acceptable to the applicable Initiating Holder, then (i) the number of Registrable Securities so requested to be included in such offering shall be reduced to that number of shares which in the good faith judgment of the managing underwriter can be sold in such offering at such price and (ii) this reduced number of Registrable Securities shall be allocated among all Holders of Registrable Securities in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective number of shares of Registrable Securities then held by such Holders. (d) Those Registrable Securities which are excluded from an underwriting in connection with any registration pursuant to Section 2 or Section 3 hereof by reason of the managing underwriter’s marketing limitation and all other Registrable Securities not originally requested to be so included shall not be included in such offering and shall be withheld from the market by the Holders thereof for a period (not to exceed ninety (90) days) which the managing underwriter reasonably determines is necessary to effect the underwritten offering. (e) If the managing underwriter has not limited the number of Registrable Securities to be included in an underwritten offering pursuant to Section 2 or Section 3, the Company and, subject to the requirements of Section 8 hereof, the other holders of the Company’s securities may include securities for its (or their) own account in such registration if the managing underwriter so agrees and if the number of Registrable Securities which would otherwise have been included in such offering will not thereby be limited.
Delivery to the Underwriters of Registration Statements The Company has delivered or made available or shall deliver or make available to the Representative and counsel for the Representative, without charge, signed copies of the Registration Statement as originally filed and each amendment thereto (including exhibits filed therewith) and signed copies of all consents and certificates of experts, and will also deliver to the Underwriters, without charge, a conformed copy of the Registration Statement as originally filed and each amendment thereto (without exhibits) for each of the Underwriters. The copies of the Registration Statement and each amendment thereto furnished to the Underwriters will be identical to the electronically transmitted copies thereof filed with the Commission pursuant to EXXXX, except to the extent permitted by Regulation S-T.
Participation in Underwritten Offerings No Person may participate in any underwritten offerings hereunder unless such Person (a) agrees to sell such Person’s securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements and (b) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements and these registration rights provided for in this Article II.
Requested Underwritten Offerings If the Initiating Holders request an underwritten offering pursuant to a registration under Section 2.1 (pursuant to a request for a registration statement to be filed in connection with a specific underwritten offering or a request for a shelf takedown in the form of an underwritten offering), the Company shall enter into a customary underwriting agreement with the underwriters. Such underwriting agreement shall (i) be satisfactory in form and substance to the Majority Participating Holders, (ii) contain terms not inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement and (iii) contain such representations and warranties by, and such other agreements on the part of, the Company and such other terms as are generally prevailing in agreements of that type, including, without limitation, indemnities and contribution agreements on substantially the same terms as those contained herein (it being understood that an underwriting agreement in substantially the form of the underwriting agreement for the IPO shall be deemed to satisfy the foregoing requirements). Any Participating Holder shall be a party to such underwriting agreement and may, at its option, require that any or all of the representations and warranties by, and the other agreements on the part of, the Company to and for the benefit of such underwriters shall also be made to and for the benefit of such Participating Holder and that any or all of the conditions precedent to the obligations of such underwriters under such underwriting agreement be conditions precedent to the obligations of such Participating Holder; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to make any representations or warranties with respect to written information specifically provided by a Participating Holder for inclusion in the registration statement. Each such Participating Holder shall not be required to make any representations or warranties to or agreements with the Company or the underwriters other than representations, warranties or agreements regarding such Participating Holder, its ownership of and title to the Registrable Securities, any written information specifically provided by such Participating Holder for inclusion in the registration statement and its intended method of distribution; and any liability of such Participating Holder to any underwriter or other Person under such underwriting agreement shall be limited to the amount of the net proceeds received by such Holder upon the sale of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the registration statement and shall be limited to liability for written information specifically provided by such Participating Holder.
FINRA The Company shall advise the Representative (who shall make an appropriate filing with FINRA) if it is or becomes aware that (i) any officer or director of the Company, (ii) any beneficial owner of 5% or more of any class of the Company’s securities or (iii) any beneficial owner of the Company’s unregistered equity securities which were acquired during the 180 days immediately preceding the filing of the Registration Statement is or becomes an affiliate or associated person of a FINRA member participating in the Offering (as determined in accordance with the rules and regulations of FINRA).
Valid Offering Assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Purchaser contained in this Agreement, the offer, sale and issuance of the Securities will be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and will have been registered or qualified (or are exempt from registration and qualification) under the registration, permit or qualification requirements of all applicable state securities laws.
