2
(b) If:
(i) a
Registration Statement is not filed on or prior to the Filing Date (if the

opportunity to review and comment on the same as required by Section 3(a),
the
Company shall not be deemed to have satisfied this clause (i)), or (ii) the

accordance with Rule 461 promulgated under the Securities Act, within five
Trading Days of the date that the Company is notified (orally or in writing,

Statement filed or required to be filed hereunder is not declared effective

Statement is first declared effective by the Commission, it ceases for any
reason to remain continuously effective as to all Registrable Securities for
which it is required to be effective, or the Holders are not permitted to
utilize the Prospectus therein to resell such Registrable Securities, for in
any
such case ten (10) consecutive calendar days but no more than an aggregate
of
fifteen (15) calendar days during any twelve (12)-month period (which need
not
be consecutive Trading Days) (any such failure or breach being referred to
as an
“Event,”
and
for purposes of clause (i) or (iv) the date on which such Event occurs, or
for
purposes of clause (ii) the date on which such five Trading Day period is
exceeded, or for purposes 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
in addition to any other rights the Holders may have hereunder or under
applicable law, then, 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 partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, equal
to
1.5% of the aggregate purchase price paid by such Holder pursuant to the
Purchase Agreement for any Registrable Securities then held by such Holder
based
on the per Share Purchase Price. If the Company fails to pay any partial
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 partial liquidated damages
are
due until such amounts, plus all such interest thereon, are paid in full. The
partial 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.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if an Event or the continuation
of an Event is caused solely as a result of an act or omission by a Holder,
the
Company shall not be liable to pay liquidated damages to such Holder that
otherwise would result on account of such Event or continuation of an Event.
3. Registration
Procedures.
In
connection with the Company’s registration obligations hereunder, the Company
shall:
3
(a) Not
less
than five Trading Days prior to the filing of the Registration Statement or
any
related Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, the Company shall,
(i) furnish to the Holders copies of any disclosure relating to the Holders,
including but not limited to the entire Selling Stockholder and Plan of
Distribution sections which sections shall be subject to the review of such
Holders, and (ii) cause its officers and directors, counsel and independent
certified public accountants to respond to such inquiries as shall be necessary,
in the reasonable opinion of respective counsel to conduct a reasonable
investigation within the meaning of the Securities Act. The Company shall not
file the 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 such documents. Prior to any filing
relating to the Registration Statement, each Holder agrees to furnish to the
Company a completed Questionnaire in the form attached to this Agreement as
Annex
B
(a
“Selling
Shareholder Questionnaire”)
within
five (5) Trading Days of written request by the Company.
(b) (i)
Prepare and file with the Commission such amendments, including post-effective
amendments, to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus used in connection
therewith as may be necessary to keep the 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, and as so supplemented
or
amended to be filed pursuant to Rule 424; (iii) respond as promptly as
reasonably practicable to any comments received from the Commission with respect
to the Registration Statement or any amendment thereto and, as promptly as
reasonably practicable, upon request, provide the Holders upon request true
and
complete copies of all correspondence from and to the Commission relating to
the
Registration Statement; and (iv) comply in all material respects with the
provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act with respect to the
disposition of all Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement
during the applicable period in accordance with the intended methods of
disposition by the Holders thereof set forth in the Registration Statement
as so
amended or in such Prospectus as so supplemented.
(c) Notify
the Holders of Registrable Securities to be sold as promptly as reasonably
practicable and (if requested by any such Person) confirm such notice in writing
promptly following the day (i)(A) when a Prospectus or any Prospectus supplement
or post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement is proposed to be
filed; (B) when the Commission notifies the Company whether there will be a
“review” of the Registration Statement and whenever the Commission comments in
writing on the Registration Statement (the Company shall upon request provide
true and complete copies thereof and all written responses thereto to each
of
the Holders); and (C) with respect to the 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
during the period of effectiveness of the Registration Statement for amendments
or supplements to the 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
the 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; and (v) of the occurrence of any event or passage of time that makes
the financial statements included in the Registration Statement ineligible
for
inclusion therein or any statement made in the 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
the
Registration Statement, Prospectus or other documents so that, in the case
of
the 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.
4
(d) Use
commercially reasonable efforts to avoid the issuance of, or, if issued, obtain
the withdrawal of (i) any order suspending the effectiveness of the 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.
(e) Furnish
to each Holder, without charge and upon request, at least one conformed copy
of
the 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.
(f) Promptly
deliver to each Holder, without charge and upon request, as many copies of
the
Prospectus or Prospectuses (including each form of prospectus) and each
amendment or supplement thereto as such Persons may reasonably request in
connection with resales by the Holder of Registrable Securities. 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 on any notice pursuant to Section 3(c).
(g) 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 the
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 the 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 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.
5
(h) If
requested by the Holders, cooperate with the Holders to facilitate the timely
preparation and delivery of certificates representing Registrable Securities
to
be delivered to a transferee pursuant to the 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 Holders may
request.
(i) Upon
the
occurrence of any event contemplated by Section 3(c)(v), as promptly as
reasonably possible, prepare a supplement or amendment, including a
post-effective amendment, to the 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 the 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 (ii) through (v) of
Section 3(c) 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(i) to suspend the
availability of a Registration Statement and Prospectus, subject to the payment
of partial liquidated damages pursuant to Section 2(b), for a period not to
exceed 60 days (which need not be consecutive days) in any 12 month period.
(j) Comply
with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission.
(k) 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 person thereof that has 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. Registration
Expenses.
All
fees 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 the Registration Statement. The
fees
and expenses referred to in the foregoing sentence shall include, without
limitation, (i) all registration and filing fees (including, without limitation,
fees and expenses with respect to filings required to be made with the Trading
Market on which the Common Stock is then listed for trading, (ii) printing

the
Company, (v) Securities Act liability insurance, if the Company so desires
such
insurance, and (vi) fees and expenses of all other Persons retained by the
Company in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated
by
this Agreement. In addition, the Company shall be responsible for all of its
internal expenses incurred in connection with the consummation of the

incurred in connection with the listing of the Registrable Securities on any

responsible for any broker or similar commissions or, except to the extent
provided for in the Transaction Documents, any legal fees or other costs of
the
Holders.
6
5. Indemnification.
(a) Indemnification
by the Company.
The
Company shall, notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, indemnify
and
hold harmless each Holder, the officers, directors, agents and employees of
each
of them, each Person who controls any such Holder (within the meaning of Section
15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) and the officers,
directors, agents and employees of each such controlling Person, to the fullest
extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any and all losses, claims,
damages, liabilities, costs (including, without limitation, reasonable
attorneys’ fees) and expenses (collectively, “Losses”),
as
incurred, arising out of or relating to any untrue or alleged untrue statement
of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any Prospectus
or
any form of 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 form of prospectus
or
supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made)
not misleading, except to the extent, but only to the extent, that (i) such
untrue statements or omissions are based solely upon information regarding
such
Holder furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder expressly for use
therein, or to the extent that such information relates to such Holder or 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
the Registration Statement, such Prospectus or such form of Prospectus or in
any
amendment or supplement thereto (it being understood that the Holder has
approved Annex A hereto for this purpose) or (ii) in the case of an occurrence
of an event of the type specified in Section 3(c)(ii)-(v), the use by such
Holder of an outdated or defective Prospectus after the Company has notified
such Holder in writing that the Prospectus is outdated or defective 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 of which the Company is aware in connection with
the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
(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 the prospectus delivery
requirements of the Securities Act or (y) any untrue or alleged untrue statement
of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, any Prospectus,
or
any form of 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 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 specifically for inclusion
in
the Registration Statement or such Prospectus or (ii) to the extent that (1)
such untrue statements or omissions are based solely upon information regarding
such Holder furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder expressly for
use
therein, or to the extent that such information relates to such Holder or 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
the Registration Statement (it being understood that the Holder has approved
Annex A hereto for this purpose), such Prospectus or such form of Prospectus
or
in any amendment or supplement thereto or (2) in the case of an occurrence
of an
event of the type specified in Section 3(c)(ii)-(v), the use by such Holder
of
an outdated or defective Prospectus after the Company has notified such Holder
in writing that the Prospectus is outdated or defective and prior to the receipt
by such Holder of the Advice contemplated in Section 6(e). In no event shall
the
liability of any selling Holder hereunder 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.
7
(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 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 such 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 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. 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.
8
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 not entitled
to
indemnification hereunder, determined based upon the relative faults of the
parties.
(d) Contribution.
If a
claim for indemnification under Section 5(a) or 5(b) is unavailable to an
Indemnified Party (by reason of public policy or otherwise), then each
Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall
contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result
of such Losses, 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 reasonable 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, in the aggregate, any amount in excess of the amount by which
the
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, except in the case of fraud
by
such Holder.
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 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, will be entitled to specific
performance of its rights under this Agreement. The Company and each Holder
agree 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 waive the defense
that
a remedy at law would be adequate.
(b) No
Piggyback on Registrations.
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 a Registration Statement other than
the
Registrable Securities. The Company shall not file any other registration
statement until after the Effective Date (other than registration statements
on
Form S-8).
(c) Compliance.
Each
Holder covenants and agrees that it will comply with the prospectus delivery
requirements of the Securities Act as applicable to it in connection with sales
of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement.
(d) Discontinued
Disposition.
Each
Holder agrees by its acquisition of such Registrable Securities that, upon
receipt of a notice from the Company of the occurrence of any event of the
kind
described in Section 3(c), such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition
of
such Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement until such Holder’s
receipt of the copies of the supplemented Prospectus and/or amended Registration
Statement or until it is advised in writing (the “Advice”) by the Company that
the use of the applicable Prospectus may be resumed, and, in either case, has
received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated
or deemed to be incorporated by reference in such Prospectus or Registration
Statement. The Company will use its best efforts to ensure that the use of
the
Prospectus may be resumed as promptly as it 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(b).
(e) Piggy-Back
Registrations.
If at
any time during the Effectiveness Period there is not an effective Registration

ANNEX
A
PLAN
OF DISTRIBUTION
The
Selling Stockholders (the “Selling
Stockholders”)
of the
common stock (“Common
Stock”)
of
Java Detour, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”)
and
any of their pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time
to
time, sell any or all of their shares of Common Stock on any stock exchange,
market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private
transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. The Selling
Stockholders may use any one or more of the following methods when selling
shares:
| · |
ordinary
brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer
solicits purchasers;
|
| · |
block
trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares
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 entered into after the date of this
prospectus;
|
| · |
broker-dealers
may agree with the Selling Stockholders to sell a specified number
of such
shares at a stipulated price per share;
|
| · |
a
combination of any such methods of
sale;
|
| · |
through
the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions,
whether through an options exchange or otherwise; or
|
| · |
any
other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.
|
The
Selling Stockholders may also sell shares 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 shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated. Each
Selling Stockholder does not expect these commissions and discounts relating
to
its sales of shares to exceed what is customary in the types of transactions
involved.
17
In
connection with the sale of our common stock 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 common
stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The Selling
Stockholders may also sell shares of our common stock short and deliver these
securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the common
stock 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 the creation of one or more
derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other
financial institution of shares offered by this prospectus, which shares 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 shares 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
shares 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 agreement or understanding, directly or
indirectly, with any person to distribute the Common Stock.
The
Company is required to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by the Company
incident to the registration of the shares. 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. 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. Each Selling Stockholder
has
advised us that they have not entered into any agreements, understandings or
arrangements with any underwriter or broker-dealer regarding the sale of the
resale shares. There is no underwriter or coordinating broker acting in
connection with the proposed sale of the resale shares by the Selling
Stockholders.
We
agreed
to keep this prospectus effective until the earlier of (i) the date on which
the
shares may be resold by the Selling Stockholders without registration and
without regard to any volume limitations by reason of Rule 144(k) under the
Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect or (ii) all of the shares
have been sold pursuant to the prospectus or Rule 144 under the Securities
Act
or any other rule of similar effect. The resale shares 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 shares 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 shares may not simultaneously engage in market
making activities with respect to our common stock for a period of two business
days 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 shares of our 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.
