Shelf
Registration.
(a) On or prior to each
Filing Date, the Company shall prepare and file with the Commission
a Registration Statement covering the resale of all of the
Registrable Securities that are not then registered on an effective
Registration Statement for an offering to be made on a continuous
basis pursuant to Rule 415. Each Registration Statement filed
hereunder shall be on Form S-1 and shall contain (unless otherwise
directed by at least 85% in interest of the Holders) substantially
the “Plan of
Distribution” attached hereto as Annex A; provided, however, that no Holder shall
be required to be named as an “underwriter” without
such Holder’s express prior written consent; provided, further, that in the event the
Commission requires that a Holder be named as an
“underwriter” and such Holder does not so consent, the
Company shall not be required to include such Holder’s
Registrable Securities in a Registration Statement, notwithstanding
any provision to the contrary contained herein. Subject to the
terms of this Agreement, the Company shall use its best efforts to
cause a Registration Statement filed under this Agreement
(including, without limitation, under Section 3(c)) to be declared
effective under the Securities Act as promptly as possible after
the filing thereof, but in any event no later than the applicable
Effectiveness Date, and shall use its best efforts to keep such
Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities
Act until all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration
Statement (i) have been sold, thereunder or pursuant to Rule 144,
or (ii) may be sold without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions
pursuant to Rule 144 and without the requirement for the Company to
be in compliance with the current public information requirement
under Rule 144, as determined by the counsel to the Company
pursuant to a written opinion letter to such effect, addressed and
acceptable to the Transfer Agent and the affected Holders (the
“Effectiveness
Period”). The Company shall request effectiveness of a
Registration Statement as of 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on a Trading
Day. The Company shall immediately notify the Holders via facsimile
or by e-mail of the effectiveness of a Registration Statement on
the same Trading Day that the Company telephonically confirms
effectiveness with the Commission, which shall be the date
requested for effectiveness of such Registration Statement. The
Company shall, by 9:30 a.m. Eastern Time on the Trading Day after
the effective date of such Registration Statement, file a final
Prospectus with the Commission as required by Rule 424. Failure to
so notify the Holder within one (1) Trading Day of such
notification of effectiveness or failure to file a final Prospectus
as foresaid shall be deemed an Event under Section
2(d).
(b) Notwithstanding
the registration obligations set forth in Section 2(a), if the
Commission informs the Company that all of the Registrable
Securities cannot, as a result of the application of Rule 415, be
registered for resale as a secondary offering on a single
registration statement, the Company agrees to promptly inform each
of the Holders thereof and use its commercially reasonable efforts
to file amendments to the Initial Registration Statement as
required by the Commission, covering the maximum number of
Registrable Securities permitted to be registered by the
Commission, on Form S-1, subject to the provisions of Section 2(d)
with respect to the payment of liquidated damages; provided, however, that prior to filing
such amendment, the Company shall be obligated to use diligent
efforts to advocate with the Commission for the registration of all
of the Registrable Securities in accordance with the SEC Guidance,
including without limitation, Compliance and Disclosure
Interpretation 612.09.
(c) Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement and subject to the payment of
liquidated damages pursuant to Section 2(d), if the Commission or
any SEC Guidance sets forth a limitation on the number of
Registrable Securities permitted to be registered on a particular
Registration Statement as a secondary offering (and notwithstanding
that the Company used diligent efforts to advocate with the
Commission for the registration of all or a greater portion of
Registrable Securities), unless otherwise directed in writing by a
Holder as to its Registrable Securities, the number of Registrable
Securities to be registered on such Registration Statement will be
reduced as follows:
a.
First,
the Company shall reduce or eliminate any securities to be included
by any Person other than a Holder;
b.
Second,
the Company shall reduce Registrable Securities represented by
Shares (applied, in the case that some Shares may be registered, to
the Holders on a pro rata basis based on the total number of shares
underlying the Notes held by such Holders).
In
the event of a cutback hereunder, the Company shall give the Holder
at least five (5) Trading Days prior written notice along with the
calculations as to such Holder’s allotment. In the event the
Company amends the Initial Registration Statement in accordance
with the foregoing, the Company will use its best efforts to file
with the Commission, as promptly as allowed by Commission or SEC
Guidance provided to the Company or to registrants of securities in
general, one or more registration statements on Form S-1 or such
other form available to register for resale those Registrable
Securities that were not registered for resale on the Initial
Registration Statement, as amended.
(d) If: (i) the Initial
Registration Statement is not filed on or prior to its Filing Date
(if the Company files the Initial Registration Statement without
affording the Holders the opportunity to review and comment on the
same as required by Section 3(a) herein, the Company shall be
deemed to have not satisfied this clause (i)), or (ii) the Company
fails to file with the Commission a request for acceleration of a
Registration Statement in accordance with Rule 461 promulgated by
the Commission pursuant to the Securities Act, within five Trading
Days of the date that the Company is notified (orally or in
writing, whichever is earlier) by the Commission that such
Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or will
not be subject to further review, or (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 Commission in respect of such Registration
Statement within ten (10) calendar days after the receipt of
comments by or notice from the Commission that such amendment is
required in order for such Registration Statement to be declared
effective, or (iv) a Registration Statement registering for resale
all of the Registrable Securities is not declared effective by the
Commission by the Effectiveness Date of the Initial Registration
Statement, or (v) after the effective date of a Registration
Statement, such Registration Statement ceases for any reason to
remain continuously effective as to all Registrable Securities
included in such Registration Statement, or the Holders are
otherwise not permitted to utilize the Prospectus therein to resell
such Registrable Securities, for more than ten (10) consecutive
calendar days or more than an aggregate of fifteen (15) calendar
days (which need not be consecutive calendar days) during any
12-month period, or (vi) any time during the period commencing from
the six (6) month anniversary of the date hereof and ending at such
time that all of the Registrable Securities may be sold without the
requirement for the Company to be in compliance with Rule 144(c)(1)
and otherwise without restriction or limitation pursuant to Rule
144, if the Company shall fail for any reason to satisfy the
current public information requirement under Rule 144(c) (any such
failure or breach being referred to as an “Event”, and for purposes
of clauses (i), (iv) and (vi), the date on which such Event occurs,
and for purpose of clause (ii) the date on which such five (5)
Trading Day period is exceeded, and for purpose of clause (iii) the
date which such ten (10) calendar day period is exceeded, and for
purpose of clause (v) the date on which such ten (10) or fifteen
(15) calendar day period, as applicable, is exceeded being referred
to as “Event
Date”), then except during any period of time in which
the Holders may sell the Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule
144 without volume limitations, in addition to any other rights the
Holders may have hereunder or under applicable law, on each such
Event Date and on each monthly anniversary of each such Event Date
(if the applicable Event shall not have been cured by such date)
until the applicable Event is cured, the Company shall pay to each
Holder an amount in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a
penalty, equal to the product of 1.0% multiplied by the aggregate
Subscription Amount paid by such Holder pursuant to the Purchase
Agreement with respect to the Registrable Securities affected by
such Event and held by such Holder on such Event Date and each
monthly anniversary thereof, up to a maximum of 6.0% of the
aggregate purchase price paid by such Holder pursuant to the
Purchase Agreement for such Registrable Securities. If the Company
fails to pay any liquidated damages pursuant to this Section in
full within seven days after the date payable, the Company will pay
interest thereon at a rate of 12% per annum (or such lesser maximum
amount that is permitted to be paid by applicable law) to the
Holder, accruing daily from the date such liquidated damages are
due until such amounts, plus all such interest thereon, are paid in
full. The liquidated damages pursuant to the terms hereof shall
apply on a daily pro rata basis for any portion of a month prior to
the cure of an Event.
(e) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall the
Company be permitted to name any Holder or affiliate of a Holder as
any underwriter without the prior written consent of such Holder;
provided,
however, that in
the event the Commission requires that a Holder be named as an
“underwriter” and such Holder does not so consent, the
Company shall not be required to include such Holder’s
Registrable Securities in a Registration Statement, notwithstanding
any provision to the contrary contained herein.
In
connection with the Company’s registration obligations
hereunder, the Company shall:
(a) Not less than two
(2) Trading Days prior to the filing of each Registration Statement
and not less than one (1) Trading Day prior to the filing of any
related Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto
(including any document that would be incorporated or deemed to be
incorporated therein by reference), the Company shall (i) furnish
to each Holder copies of all such documents proposed to be filed,
which documents (other than those incorporated or deemed to be
incorporated by reference) will be subject to the review of such
Holders, and (ii) cause its officers and directors, counsel and
independent registered public accountants to respond to such
inquiries as shall be necessary, in the reasonable opinion of
respective counsel to each Holder, to conduct a reasonable
investigation within the meaning of the Securities Act.
Notwithstanding the above, the Company shall not be obligated to
provide the Holders advance copies of any universal shelf
registration statement registering securities in addition to those
required hereunder, or any Prospectus prepared thereto. The Company
shall not file a Registration Statement or any such Prospectus or
any amendments or supplements thereto to which the Holders of a
majority of the Registrable Securities shall reasonably object in
good faith, provided that, the Company is notified of such
objection in writing no later than two (2) Trading Days after the
Holders have been so furnished copies of a Registration Statement
or one (1) Trading Day after the Holders have been so furnished
copies of any related Prospectus or amendments or supplements
thereto. Each Holder agrees to furnish to the Company a completed
questionnaire in the form attached to this Agreement as
Annex B (a
“Selling Stockholder
Questionnaire”) on a date that is not less than two
(2) Trading Days prior to the Filing Date or by the end of the
fourth (4th) Trading Day
following the date on which such Holder receives draft materials in
accordance with this Section, whichever occurs first.
(b) (i) Prepare and
file with the Commission such amendments, including post-effective
amendments, to a Registration Statement and the Prospectus used in
connection therewith as may be necessary to keep a Registration
Statement continuously effective as to the applicable Registrable
Securities for the Effectiveness Period and prepare and file with
the Commission such additional Registration Statements in order to
register for resale under the Securities Act all of the Registrable
Securities, (ii) cause the related Prospectus to be amended or
supplemented by any required Prospectus supplement (subject to the
terms of this Agreement), and, as so supplemented or amended, to be
filed pursuant to Rule 424, (iii) respond as promptly as reasonably
possible to any comments received from the Commission with respect
to a Registration Statement or any amendment thereto and provide as
promptly as reasonably possible to the Holders true and complete
copies of all correspondence from and to the Commission relating to
a Registration Statement (provided that, the Company shall excise
any information contained therein which would constitute material
non-public information regarding the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries), and (iv) comply in all material respects with the
applicable provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act
with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities
covered by a Registration Statement during the applicable period in
accordance (subject to the terms of this Agreement) with the
intended methods of disposition by the Holders thereof set forth in
such Registration Statement as so amended or in such Prospectus as
so supplemented.
(c) If during the
Effectiveness Period, the number of Registrable Securities at any
time exceeds 100% of the number of shares of Common Stock then
registered in a Registration Statement, then the Company shall file
as soon as reasonably practicable, but in any case prior to the
applicable Filing Date, an additional Registration Statement
covering the resale by the Holders of not less than the number of
such Registrable Securities.
(d) Notify the Holders
of Registrable Securities to be sold (which notice shall, pursuant
to clauses (iii) through (vi) hereof, be accompanied by an
instruction to suspend the use of the Prospectus until the
requisite changes have been made) as promptly as reasonably
possible (and, in the case of (i)(A) below, not less than one (1)
Trading Day prior to such filing) and (if requested by any such
Person) confirm such notice in writing no later than one (1)
Trading Day following the day (i)(A) when a Prospectus or any
Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment to a Registration
Statement is proposed to be filed, (B) when the Commission notifies
the Company whether there will be a “review” of such
Registration Statement and whenever the Commission comments in
writing on such Registration Statement, and (C) with respect to a
Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment, when the
same has become effective, (ii) of any request by the Commission or
any other federal or state governmental authority for amendments or
supplements to a Registration Statement or Prospectus or for
additional information, (iii) of the issuance by the Commission or
any other federal or state governmental authority of any stop order
suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement covering
any or all of the Registrable Securities or the initiation of any
Proceedings for that purpose, (iv) of the receipt by the Company of
any notification with respect to the suspension of the
qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the
Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, or the
initiation or threatening of any Proceeding for such purpose, (v)
of the occurrence of any event or passage of time that makes the
financial statements included in a Registration Statement
ineligible for inclusion therein or any statement made in a
Registration Statement or Prospectus or any document incorporated
or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference untrue in any
material respect or that requires any revisions to a Registration
Statement, Prospectus or other documents so that, in the case of a
Registration Statement or the Prospectus, as the case may be, it
will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to
state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary
to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under
which they were made, not misleading, and (vi) of the occurrence or
existence of any pending corporate development with respect to the
Company that the Company believes may be material and that, in the
determination of the Company, makes it not in the best interest of
the Company to allow continued availability of a Registration
Statement or Prospectus, provided, however, in no event shall any
such notice contain any information which would constitute
material, non-public information regarding the Company or any of
its Subsidiaries.
(e) Use its best
efforts to avoid the issuance of, or, if issued, obtain the
withdrawal of (i) any order stopping or suspending the
effectiveness of a Registration Statement, or (ii) any suspension
of the qualification (or exemption from qualification) of any of
the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, at the
earliest practicable moment.
(f) Furnish to each
Holder, without charge, at least one conformed copy of each such
Registration Statement and each amendment thereto, including
financial statements and schedules, all documents incorporated or
deemed to be incorporated therein by reference to the extent
requested by such Person, and all exhibits to the extent requested
by such Person (including those previously furnished or
incorporated by reference) promptly after the filing of such
documents with the Commission; provided, that any such item which
is available on the XXXXX system (or successor thereto) need not be
furnished in physical form.
(g) Subject to the
terms of this Agreement, the Company hereby consents to the use of
such Prospectus and each amendment or supplement thereto by each of
the selling Holders in connection with the offering and sale of the
Registrable Securities covered by such Prospectus and any amendment
or supplement thereto, except after the giving of any notice
pursuant to Section 3(d).
(h) The Company
shall cooperate with any broker-dealer through which a Holder
proposes to resell its Registrable Securities in effecting a filing
with the FINRA Corporate Financing Department pursuant to FINRA
Rule 5110, as requested by any such Holder, and the Company shall
pay the filing fee required by such filing within two (2) Business
Days of request therefor.
(i) Prior to any resale
of Registrable Securities by a Holder, use its commercially
reasonable efforts to register or qualify or cooperate with the
selling Holders in connection with the registration or
qualification (or exemption from the Registration or qualification)
of such Registrable Securities for the resale by the Holder under
the securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions within the
United States as any Holder reasonably requests in writing, to keep
each registration or qualification (or exemption therefrom)
effective during the Effectiveness Period and to do any and all
other acts or things reasonably necessary to enable the disposition
in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities covered by each
Registration Statement; provided, that, the Company shall not be
required to qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction
where it is not then so qualified, subject the Company to any
material tax in any such jurisdiction where it is not then so
subject or file a general consent to service of process in any such
jurisdiction.
(j) If requested by a
Holder, cooperate with such Holder to facilitate the timely
preparation and delivery of certificates representing Registrable
Securities to be delivered to a transferee pursuant to a
Registration Statement, which certificates shall be free, to the
extent permitted by the Purchase Agreement, of all restrictive
legends, and to enable such Registrable Securities to be in such
denominations and registered in such names as any such Holder may
request.
(k) Upon the occurrence
of any event contemplated by Section 3(d), as promptly as
reasonably possible under the circumstances taking into account the
Company’s good faith assessment of any adverse consequences
to the Company and its stockholders of the premature disclosure of
such event, prepare a supplement or amendment, including a
post-effective amendment, to a Registration Statement or a
supplement to the related Prospectus or any document incorporated
or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, and file any
other required document so that, as thereafter delivered, neither a
Registration Statement nor such Prospectus will contain an untrue
statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made,
not misleading. If the Company
notifies the Holders in accordance with clauses (iii) through (vi)
of Section 3(d) above to suspend the use of any Prospectus until
the requisite changes to such Prospectus have been made, then the
Holders shall suspend use of such Prospectus. The Company will use
its best efforts to ensure that the use of the Prospectus may be
resumed as promptly as is practicable. The Company shall be
entitled to exercise its right under this Section 3(k) to suspend
the availability of a Registration Statement and Prospectus,
subject to the payment of liquidated damages otherwise required
pursuant to Section 2(d), for a period not to exceed 60 calendar
days (which need not be consecutive days) in any 12-month
period.
(l) Comply with all
applicable rules and regulations of the Commission.
(m) The Company shall
use its best efforts to maintain eligibility for use of Form S-1
(or any successor form thereto) for the registration of the resale
of Registrable Securities.
(n) The Company may
require each selling Holder to furnish to the Company a certified
statement as to the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially
owned by such Holder and, if required by the Commission, the
natural persons thereof that have voting and dispositive control
over the shares. During any periods that the Company is unable to
meet its obligations hereunder with respect to the registration of
the Registrable Securities solely because any Holder fails to
furnish such information within three Trading Days of the
Company’s request, any liquidated damages that are accruing
at such time as to such Holder only shall be tolled and any Event
that may otherwise occur solely because of such delay shall be
suspended as to such Holder only, until such information is
delivered to the Company.
4.

and expenses incident to the performance of or compliance with,
this Agreement by the Company shall be borne by the Company whether
or not any Registrable Securities are sold pursuant to a
Registration Statement. The fees and expenses referred to in the
foregoing sentence shall include, without limitation, (i) all

under FINRA Rule 5110, with respect to any filing that may be
required to be made by any broker through which a Holder intends to
make sales of Registrable Securities with FINRA pursuant to FINRA
Rule 5110, so long as the broker is receiving no more than a
customary brokerage commission in connection with such sale, (ii)
printing expenses (including, without limitation, expenses of

fees or other costs of the Holders.

except to the extent, but only to the extent, that (i) such untrue
statements or omissions are based solely upon information regarding

occurrence of an event of the type specified in Section

such Holder in writing that the Prospectus is outdated, defective
or otherwise unavailable for use by such Holder and prior to the
receipt by such Holder of the Advice contemplated in Section 6(d).
The Company shall notify the Holders promptly of the institution,
threat or assertion of any Proceeding arising from or in connection
with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement of which the
Company is aware. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and
effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such
indemnified person and shall survive the transfer of any
Registrable Securities by any of the Holders in accordance with
Section 6(h).
(b) Indemnification by Holders.
Each Holder shall, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold
harmless the Company, its directors, officers, agents and
employees, 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, agents or employees of such
controlling Persons, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable
law, from and against all Losses, as incurred, to the extent
arising out of or based solely upon: (x) such Holder’s
failure to comply with any applicable prospectus delivery
requirements of the Securities Act through no fault of the Company
or (y) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact
contained in any Registration Statement, any Prospectus, or in any
amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus,
or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission
of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements therein (in the case of any Prospectus or
supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they
were made) not misleading (i) to the extent, but only to the
extent, that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any
information so furnished in writing by such Holder to the Company
expressly for inclusion in such Registration Statement or such
Prospectus or (ii) to the extent, but only to the extent, that such
information relates to such Holder’s proposed method of
distribution of Registrable Securities and was reviewed and
expressly approved in writing by such Holder expressly for use in a
Registration Statement (it being understood that the Holder has
approved Annex A hereto for this purpose), such Prospectus or in
any amendment or supplement thereto or (iii) in the case of an
occurrence of an event of the type specified in Section
3(d)(iii)-(vi), to the extent, but only to the extent, related to
the use by such Holder of an outdated, defective or otherwise
unavailable Prospectus after the Company has notified such Holder
in writing that the Prospectus is outdated, defective or otherwise
unavailable for use by such Holder and prior to the receipt by such
Holder of the Advice contemplated in Section 6(d). In no event
shall the liability of any selling Holder under this Section 5(b)
be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds
received by such Holder upon the sale of the Registrable Securities
giving rise to such indemnification obligation.
(c) Conduct of Indemnification
Proceedings. If any Proceeding shall be brought or asserted
against any Person entitled to indemnity hereunder (an
“Indemnified
Party”), such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify
the Person from whom indemnity is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) in
writing, and the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume
the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the payment of all fees
and expenses incurred in connection with defense thereof; provided,
that, the failure of any Indemnified Party to give such notice
shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations or
liabilities pursuant to this Agreement, except (and only) to the
extent that it shall be finally determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction (which determination is not subject to appeal or
further review) that such failure shall have materially and
adversely prejudiced the Indemnifying Party.
An
Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel
in any such Proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof,
but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense
of such Indemnified Party or Parties unless: (1) the Indemnifying
Party has agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses, (2) the
Indemnifying Party shall have failed promptly to assume the defense
of such Proceeding and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to
such Indemnified Party in any such Proceeding, or (3) the named
parties to any such Proceeding (including any impleaded parties)
include both such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, and
counsel to the Indemnified Party shall reasonably believe that a
material conflict of interest is likely to exist if the same
counsel were to represent such Indemnified Party and the
Indemnifying Party (in which case, if such Indemnified Party
notifies the Indemnifying Party in writing that it elects to employ
separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, the
Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense
thereof and the reasonable fees and expenses of no more than one
separate counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying
Party). The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any
settlement of any such Proceeding effected without its written
consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written
consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any
pending Proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is a
party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of
such Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are the
subject matter of such Proceeding.
Subject
to the terms of this Agreement, all reasonable fees and expenses of
the Indemnified Party (including reasonable fees and expenses to
the extent incurred in connection with investigating or preparing
to defend such Proceeding in a manner not inconsistent with this
Section) shall be paid to the Indemnified Party, as incurred,
within ten Trading Days of written notice thereof to the
Indemnifying Party; provided, that, the Indemnified Party shall
promptly reimburse the Indemnifying Party for that portion of such
fees and expenses applicable to such actions for which such
Indemnified Party is finally determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction (which determination is not subject to appeal or
further review) not to be entitled to indemnification
hereunder.
(d) Contribution. If the
indemnification under Section 5(a) or 5(b) is unavailable to an
Indemnified Party or insufficient to hold an Indemnified Party
harmless for any Losses, then each Indemnifying Party shall
contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party,
in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault
of the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party in connection with
the actions, statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses
as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The
relative fault of such Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party
shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether
any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission of a
material fact, has been taken or made by, or relates to information
supplied by, such Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party, and the
parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information
and opportunity to correct or prevent such action, statement or
omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of any
Losses shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set
forth in this Agreement, any reasonable attorneys’ or other
fees or expenses incurred by such party in connection with any
Proceeding to the extent such party would have been indemnified for
such fees or expenses if the indemnification provided for in this
Section was available to such party in accordance with its
terms.
The
parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if
contribution pursuant to this Section 5(d) were determined by pro
rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not
take into account the equitable considerations referred to in the
immediately preceding paragraph. Notwithstanding the provisions of
this Section 5(d), no Holder shall be required to contribute
pursuant to this Section 5(d), in the aggregate, any amount in
excess of the amount by which the net proceeds actually received by
such Holder from the sale of the Registrable Securities subject to
the Proceeding exceeds the amount of any damages that such Holder
has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or
alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged
omission.
The
indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section are
in addition to any liability that the Indemnifying Parties may have
to the Indemnified Parties.
6.
Miscellaneous.
(a) Remedies. In the event of a
breach by the Company or by a Holder of any of their respective
obligations under this Agreement, each Holder or the Company, as
the case may be, in addition to being entitled to exercise all
rights granted by law and under this Agreement, including recovery
of damages, shall be entitled to specific performance of its rights
under this Agreement. Each of the Company and each Holder agrees
that monetary damages would not provide adequate compensation for
any losses incurred by reason of a breach by it of any of the
provisions of this Agreement and hereby further agrees that, in the
event of any action for specific performance in respect of such
breach, it shall not assert or shall waive the defense that a
remedy at law would be adequate.
(b) No Piggyback on Registrations;
Prohibition on Filing Other Registration Statements. Except
as set forth on Schedule
6(b) attached hereto, neither the Company nor any of its
security holders (other than the Holders in such capacity pursuant
hereto) may include securities of the Company in any Registration
Statements other than the Registrable Securities. The Company shall
not file any other registration statements until all Registrable
Securities are registered pursuant to a Registration Statement that
is declared effective by the Commission, provided that this Section
6(b) (i) shall not prohibit the Company from filing amendments to
registration statements filed prior to the date of this Agreement
and (ii) shall not prohibit the Company from filing a shelf
registration statement on Form S-3 for a primary offering by the
Company, provided that the Company makes no offering of securities
pursuant to such shelf registration statement prior to the
effective date of the Registration Statement required hereunder
that includes all of the Registrable Securities.
(c) Compliance. Each Holder
covenants and agrees that it will comply with the prospectus
delivery requirements of the Securities Act as applicable to it
(unless an exemption therefrom is available) in connection with
sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration
Statement.
(d) Discontinued Disposition. By
its acquisition of Registrable Securities, each Holder agrees that,
upon receipt of a notice from the Company of the occurrence of any
event of the kind described in Section 3(d)(iii) through (vi), such
Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of such Registrable
Securities under a Registration Statement until it is advised in
writing (the “Advice”) by the Company
that the use of the applicable Prospectus (as it may have been
supplemented or amended) may be resumed. The Company will use its
best efforts to ensure that the use of the Prospectus may be
resumed as promptly as is practicable. The Company agrees and
acknowledges that any periods during which the Holder is required
to discontinue the disposition of the Registrable Securities
hereunder shall be subject to the provisions of Section
2(d).
(e) Piggy-Back Registrations. If,
at any time during the Effectiveness Period, there is not an
effective Registration Statement covering all of the Registrable
Securities and the Company shall determine to prepare and file with
the Commission a registration statement relating to an offering for
its own account or the account of others under the Securities Act
of any of its equity securities, other than on Form S-4 or Form S-8
(each as promulgated under the Securities Act) or their then
equivalents relating to equity securities to be issued solely in
connection with any acquisition of any entity or business or equity
securities issuable in connection with the Company’s stock
option or other employee benefit plans, then the Company shall
deliver to each Holder a written notice of such determination and,
if within fifteen days after the date of the delivery of such
notice, any such Holder shall so request in writing, the Company
shall include in such registration statement all or any part of
such Registrable Securities such Holder requests to be registered;
provided,
however, that the
Company shall not be required to register any Registrable
Securities pursuant to this Section 6(e) that are eligible for
resale pursuant to Rule 144 (without volume restrictions or current
public information requirements) promulgated by the Commission
pursuant to the Securities Act or that are the subject of a then
effective Registration Statement.
(f) Amendments and Waivers. The
provisions of this Agreement, including the provisions of this
sentence, may not be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers
or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be
given, unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the
Company and the Holders of a majority of the then outstanding
Registrable Securities. If a Registration Statement does not
register all of the Registrable Securities pursuant to a waiver or
amendment done in compliance with the previous sentence, then the
number of Registrable Securities to be registered for each Holder
shall be reduced pro rata among all Holders and each Holder shall
have the right to designate which of its Registrable Securities
shall be omitted from such Registration Statement. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, a waiver or consent to depart from the provisions
hereof with respect to a matter that relates exclusively to the
rights of a Holder or some Holders and that does not directly or
indirectly affect the rights of other Holders may be given only by
such Holder or Holders of all of the Registrable Securities to
which such waiver or consent relates; provided, however, that the provisions of
this sentence may not be amended, modified, or supplemented except
in accordance with the provisions of the first sentence of this
Section 6(f). No consideration shall be offered or paid to any
Person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any
provision of this Agreement unless the same consideration also is
offered to all of the parties to this Agreement.
(g) Notices. Any and all notices or
other communications or deliveries required or permitted to be
provided hereunder shall be delivered as set forth in the Purchase
Agreement.
(h) Successors and Assigns. This
Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the
successors and permitted assigns of each of the parties and shall
inure to the benefit of each Holder. The Company may not assign
(except by merger) its rights or obligations hereunder without the
prior written consent of all of the Holders of the then outstanding
Registrable Securities. Each Holder may assign their respective
rights hereunder in the manner and to the Persons as permitted
under Section 5.7 of the Purchase Agreement.
(i) No Inconsistent Agreements.
Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has entered, as of
the date hereof, nor shall the Company or any of its Subsidiaries,
on or after the date of this Agreement, enter into any agreement
with respect to its securities, that would have the effect of
impairing the rights granted to the Holders in this Agreement or
otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof. Except as set forth
on Schedule 6(i),
neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has previously
entered into any agreement granting any registration rights with
respect to any of its securities to any Person that have not been
satisfied in full.
(j) Execution and Counterparts.
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 or
“.pdf” signature page were an original
thereof.
(k) Governing Law. All questions
concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and
interpretation of this Agreement shall be determined in accordance
with the provisions of the Purchase Agreement.
(l) Cumulative Remedies. The
remedies provided herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any
other remedies provided by law.
(m) Severability. If any term,
provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a
court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, void or
unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants
and restrictions set forth herein shall remain in full force and
effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated,
and the parties hereto shall use their commercially reasonable
efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same
or substantially the same result as that contemplated by such term,
provision, covenant or restriction. It is hereby stipulated and
declared to be the intention of the parties that they would have
executed the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and
restrictions without including any of such that may be hereafter
declared invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable.
(n) Headings. The headings in this
Agreement are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of the
Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the
provisions hereof.
(o) Independent Nature of Holders’
Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Holder
hereunder are several and not joint with the obligations of any
other Holder hereunder, and no Holder shall be responsible in any
way for the performance of the obligations of any other Holder
hereunder. Nothing contained herein or in any other agreement or
document delivered at any closing, and no action taken by any
Holder pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute
the Holders as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or
any other kind of group or entity, or create a presumption that the
Holders are in any way acting in concert or as a group or entity
with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement or any other matters, and the Company
acknowledges that the Holders are not acting in concert or as a
group, and the Company shall not assert any such claim, with
respect to such obligations or transactions. Each Holder shall be
entitled to protect and enforce its rights, including without
limitation the rights arising out of this Agreement, and it shall
not be necessary for any other Holder to be joined as an additional
party in any proceeding for such purpose. The use of a single
agreement with respect to the obligations of the Company contained
was solely in the control of the Company, not the action or
decision of any Holder, and was done solely for the convenience of
the Company and not because it was required or requested to do so
by any Holder. It is expressly understood and agreed that each
provision contained in this Agreement is between the Company and a
Holder, solely, and not between the Company and the Holders
collectively and not between and among Holders.

Annex A
Plan of Distribution
Each
Selling Stockholder (the “Selling Stockholders”) of
the securities and any of their pledgees, assignees and
successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of
their securities covered hereby on the principal Trading Market or
any other stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the
securities are traded or in private transactions. These sales may
be at fixed or negotiated prices. A Selling Stockholder may use any
one or more of the following methods when selling
securities:
●
ordinary brokerage
transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits
purchasers;
●
block trades in
which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the securities as
agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as
principal to facilitate the transaction;
●
purchases by a
broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its
account;
●
an exchange
distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable
exchange;
●
privately
negotiated transactions;
●
settlement of short
sales;
●
in transactions
through broker-dealers that agree with the Selling Stockholders to
sell a specified number of such securities at a stipulated price
per security;
●
through the writing
or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether
through an options exchange or otherwise;
●
a combination of
any such methods of sale; or
●
any other method
permitted pursuant to applicable law.
The
Selling Stockholders may also sell securities under Rule 144 under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), if
available, rather than under this prospectus.
Broker-dealers
engaged by the Selling Stockholders may arrange for other
brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive
commissions or discounts from the Selling Stockholders (or, if any
broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of securities, from
the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set
forth in a supplement to this Prospectus, in the case of an agency
transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage commission in
compliance with FINRA Rule 2440; and in the case of a principal
transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with FINRA
IM-2440.
In
connection with the sale of the securities or interests therein,
the Selling Stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with
broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn
engage in short sales of the securities in the course of hedging
the positions they assume. The Selling Stockholders may also sell
securities short and deliver these securities to close out their
short positions, or loan or pledge the securities to broker-dealers
that in turn may sell these securities. The Selling Stockholders
may also enter into option or other transactions with
broker-dealers or other financial institutions or create one or
more derivative securities which require the delivery to such
broker-dealer or other financial institution of securities offered
by this prospectus, which securities such broker-dealer or other
financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as
supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).
The
Selling Stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are
involved in selling the securities may be deemed to be
“underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act
in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions
received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the
resale of the securities purchased by them may be deemed to be
underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act.
Each Selling Stockholder has informed the Company that it does not
have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly or
indirectly, with any person to distribute the
securities.
The
Company is required to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by
the Company incident to the registration of the securities. The
Company has agreed to indemnify the Selling Stockholders against
certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including
liabilities under the Securities Act.
Because
Selling Stockholders may be deemed to be “underwriters”
within the meaning of the Securities Act, they will be subject to
the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act
including Rule 172 thereunder. In addition, any securities covered
by this prospectus which qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144
under the Securities Act may be sold under Rule 144 rather than
under this prospectus. The Selling Stockholders have advised us
that there is no underwriter or coordinating broker acting in
connection with the proposed sale of the resale securities by the
Selling Stockholders.
We
agreed to keep this prospectus effective until the earlier of (i)
the date on which the securities may be resold by the Selling
Stockholders without registration and without regard to any volume
or manner-of-sale limitations by reason of Rule 144, without the
requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current
public information under Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any
other rule of similar effect or (ii) all of the securities have
been sold pursuant to this prospectus or Rule 144 under the
Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect. The resale
securities will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers
or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws. In
addition, in certain states, the resale securities covered hereby
may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for
sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration
or qualification requirement is available and is complied
with.
Under
applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person
engaged in the distribution of the resale securities may not
simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to
the common stock for the applicable restricted period, as defined
in Regulation M, prior to the commencement of the distribution. In
addition, the Selling Stockholders will be subject to applicable
provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations
thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of
purchases and sales of securities of the common stock by the
Selling Stockholders or any other person. We will make copies of
this prospectus available to the Selling Stockholders and have
informed them of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus to
each purchaser at or prior to the time of the sale (including by
compliance with Rule 172 under the Securities Act).
