THIS
STOCKHOLDERS AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is
entered into as of February 19, 2010, between Bucyrus International, Inc., a
Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Terex
Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Shareholder”). Any
capitalized term not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning set forth
in Article IV
hereof.
RECITALS
WHEREAS,
the Company and the Shareholder have entered into (i) an Asset and Stock
Purchase Agreement, dated as of December 20, 2009 (the “Purchase Agreement”),
and (ii) an Equity Agreement, dated as of January 15, 2010 (the “Equity Agreement”),
pursuant to which the Company agreed to purchase from the Shareholder and
certain of its Subsidiaries, and the Shareholder and such Subsidiaries have
agreed to sell to the Company, all of such Sellers’ ownership interests in the
Business (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), in exchange for cash and shares
of the Common Stock of the Company (the “Consideration
Shares”), in each case upon the terms and subject to the conditions set
forth in the Purchase Agreement and the Equity Agreement (the “Transaction”).
WHEREAS,
as a condition to the consummation of the Transaction, the Company and the
Shareholder are to enter into this Agreement in order to set forth certain
agreements relating to the ownership by the Shareholder of the Consideration
Shares.
NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual and independent
covenants hereinafter set forth and other good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto
agree as follows:
ARTICLE
I
LIMITATIONS ON
TRANSFERS
SECTION
1.1 Lock-Up
Period During
the period commencing from the date hereof and ending on the first anniversary
of the date of this Agreement (the “Lock-Up Period”), the
Shareholder may not Transfer its Consideration Shares except (i) Transfers to
its Permitted Transferees, or (ii) Transfers made with the prior written consent
of the Company, or (iii) Transfers made pursuant to any Approved Transaction in
which stockholders of the Company are offered, permitted or required to
participate as holders of any of the Company’s Common Stock or (iv) if required
pursuant to any rule, regulation, order, writ or decree of any Governmental
Authority. During the Lock-Up Period, with respect to any matter
presented for approval to the Company’s stockholders, including the election of
directors, the Shareholder shall either (i) vote all of the Consideration
Shares in accordance with the recommendation of the Board approved by a majority
of the directors or (ii) vote all of the Consideration Shares in the same
proportion (for, against, abstain or withheld, or as otherwise indicated) as the
votes cast by all other holders of voting securities of the
Company.
SECTION 1.2 Permitted
Transfers
(a) After the
Lock-Up Period, the Shareholder may Transfer its Consideration Shares pursuant
to (i) Transfers permitted under Section 1.1, and (ii)
Transfers permitted by Section
1.2(b).
(b) The
Shareholder may make Sales of Consideration Shares (i) in a manner contemplated
by Article III
of this Agreement, (ii) pursuant to an effective registration statement filed
with the SEC or (iii) pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act; provided, that, in
the case of a Transfer pursuant to this clause (b), except as permitted pursuant
to Section
1.2(c) below, the Shareholder shall not knowingly Transfer any
Consideration Shares to any Person if, after giving effect to such Transfer,
such Person and its Affiliates would collectively beneficially own five percent
(5%) or more of the Common Stock outstanding at such time; and provided further, that in the
case of a Transfer that is effected through a firm commitment underwriting, the
Shareholder shall instruct the underwriters to use their commercially reasonable
efforts to not knowingly Transfer Common Stock to any Person if, after giving
effect to such Transfer, such Person and its Affiliates would collectively
beneficially own five percent (5%) or more of the Common Stock outstanding at
such time, provided, however, that any such Transfer by an underwriter that
would comply with the provisions set forth in Section 1.2(c) below if the
Shareholder were directly making such Transfer shall be permitted.
(c) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in Section 1.2(a) or
Section 1.2(b)
hereof, the Shareholder may, at any time, Transfer (i) Consideration Shares that
represent 2.5% percent or less of the then outstanding Common Stock to any
Person, (ii) all or any portion of the Consideration Shares to any Person who,
at the time of such Transfer, has a Schedule 13G under the Exchange Act filed
with the SEC related to its beneficial ownership of securities of the Company or
to any Person who provides to the Shareholder, prior to such Transfer, with a
representation that such Person does not intend, after giving effect to such
Transfer, to report its beneficial ownership of the Consideration Shares on a
Schedule 13D under the Exchange Act, and/or (iii) all or any portion of the
Consideration Shares to any underwriter engaged to effect a distribution of such
Consideration Shares.
(d) Following
any direct Transfer of Consideration Shares, the Shareholder shall as promptly
as practicable provide the Company with written notice thereof.
(e) For the
avoidance of doubt, a Transfer (i) in connection with an Approved Transaction or
(ii) provided that the Shareholder shall have complied with Section 2.1, in
connection with any merger or consolidation of the Company with any other Person
shall not be deemed a violation of this Section
1.2.
(f) (i) All
certificates (if any) representing the Consideration Shares held by the
Shareholder shall bear a legend substantially in the following
form:
THE
SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER
UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS, AND MAY
NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, ASSIGNED, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE
DISPOSED OF UNLESS (I) REGISTERED UNDER THE APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS, (II)
SUCH TRANSACTION IS EFFECTED PURSUANT TO RULE 144 UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF
1933, AS AMENDED, OR (III) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, WHICH OPINION IS REASONABLY
SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY, HAS BEEN DELIVERED TO THE COMPANY AND SUCH OPINION
STATES THAT THE SHARES MAY BE TRANSFERRED WITHOUT SUCH REGISTRATION OR IN
COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS.
THIS
CERTIFICATE ALSO EVIDENCES AND ENTITLES THE HOLDER HEREOF TO CERTAIN RIGHTS AS
SET FORTH IN A RIGHTS AGREEMENT BETWEEN BUCYRUS INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND LASALLE
BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, DATED AS OF AUGUST 2, 2007, AND AS SUCH
AGREEMENT MAY BE AMENDED (THE “RIGHTS AGREEMENT”), THE TERMS OF WHICH ARE HEREBY
INCORPORATED HEREIN BY REFERENCE AND A COPY OF WHICH IS ON FILE AT THE PRINCIPAL
EXECUTIVE OFFICES OF BUCYRUS INTERNATIONAL, INC. UNDER CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES, AS
SET FORTH IN THE RIGHTS AGREEMENT, SUCH RIGHTS WILL BE EVIDENCED BY SEPARATE
CERTIFICATES AND WILL NO LONGER BE EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE. BUCYRUS
INTERNATIONAL, INC. WILL MAIL TO THE HOLDER OF THIS CERTIFICATE A COPY OF THE
RIGHTS AGREEMENT WITHOUT CHARGE AFTER RECEIPT OF A WRITTEN REQUEST THEREFOR.
UNDER CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES SET FORTH IN THE RIGHTS AGREEMENT, RIGHTS ISSUED TO,
OR HELD BY, AN ACQUIRING PERSON OR ANY AFFILIATE OR ASSOCIATE THEREOF (AS SUCH
TERMS ARE DEFINED IN THE RIGHTS AGREEMENT), WHETHER HELD BY SUCH PERSON OR ANY
SUBSEQUENT HOLDER, SHALL BECOME NULL AND VOID.
(ii) Upon (A)
the Sale of any Consideration Shares pursuant to an effective registration
statement under the Securities Act or pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities
Act or another exemption from registration under the Securities Act (and
such
Consideration
Shares cease to be subject to the provisions hereof) or (B) the termination of
this Agreement, the certificates representing such Consideration Shares shall be
immediately replaced, without expense to the Shareholder, with certificates or
instruments not bearing the legends required by the first paragraph of Section 1.2(f)(i);
provided, that
the Company may condition such replacement of certificates upon the receipt of
an opinion of securities counsel reasonably satisfactory to the
Company.
SECTION
1.3 Void
Transfers Any
Transfer or attempted Transfer of Consideration Shares in violation of any
provision of this Agreement shall be void. The Shareholder hereby
consents to the entry of a stop transfer order with the transfer agent or agents
of the Company’s securities against registration of any Transfer of the
Consideration Shares, or to the refusal by the Company to register any Transfer
of the Consideration Shares, in either case, in violation of this
Agreement.
SECTION
1.4 Replacement
Certificates If
any certificate or instrument evidencing any Consideration Shares is mutilated,
lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in
exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation thereof, or in lieu of and
substitution therefor, a new certificate or instrument, but only upon receipt of
evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or
destruction and customary and reasonable indemnity, if requested.
ARTICLE
II
STANDSTILL
PROVISIONS
SECTION
2.1 Limitation on
Acquisitions During
the Standstill Period (other than as to the Consideration Shares), the
Shareholder shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, acquire, agree to
acquire or make any proposal to acquire, any Company Equity Securities, without
the prior written consent of the Company.
SECTION
2.2 Limitation on Control
Transactions Except
as expressly provided in this Agreement, during the Standstill Period, the
Shareholder shall not, and shall cause its directors, officers, employees and
Affiliates not to (and the Shareholder and they will not assist or form a
“group” within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act, act in
concert or participate with or encourage other persons to), unless such action
shall have been specifically consented to in writing by the Company (it being
understood that execution of this Agreement does not constitute such a consent),
directly or indirectly, (i) acquire or offer to acquire, seek, propose or
agree to acquire, by means of a purchase, tender or exchange offer, business
combination or in any other manner, beneficial ownership of any securities or
assets of the Company or any of its Affiliates, including rights or options to
acquire such ownership, (ii) seek or propose to influence, advise, change
or control the management, Board, governing instruments or policies or affairs
of the Company or any of its Affiliates, including, without limitation, by means
of a solicitation of proxies (as such terms are defined in Rule 14a-1 of
Regulation 14A promulgated pursuant to Section 14 of the Exchange Act,
disregarding clause (iv) of Rule 14a-1(l)(2) and including any otherwise
exempt solicitation pursuant to Rule 14a-2(b)), or seeking to influence,
advise or direct the vote of any holder of voting securities of the Company or
its Affiliates or making a request to amend or waive this provision
or
any other
provision of this Article II, or
(iii) make any public disclosure, or take any action that could require the

and (ii) above.
SECTION

ARTICLE
III
REGISTRATION
RIGHTS
SECTION
3.1 Demand Registrations
(a) Requests for
Registration. Subject to the terms, conditions and limitations
of this Article
III, the Shareholder may, no sooner than 9 months from the date hereof,
request that the Company effect one demand registration for an underwritten
public offering in the United States of all or any portion of the Registrable
Securities and upon receipt of any such request from the Shareholder, the
Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to comply with the timing
requirements set forth below for filing and effectiveness of such registration
statement. All registrations requested as described in and meeting
the requirements of this Section 3.1 are
referred to herein as “Demand
Registrations.” The request for a Demand Registration shall
specify the number of Registrable Securities requested to be
registered. Subject to Section 3.1(c) below,
any such Demand Registration may include, at the option of the Shareholder,
registration of Registrable Securities on a “shelf” registration statement for
an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 under the
Securities Act and the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts (i) to
file the registration statement relating to such Demand Registration with the
SEC on or prior to the 30th day
following any request for filing by the Shareholder and (ii) to cause such
registration statement to be declared effective by the SEC on the earlier of:
(A) the 60th day
following the applicable filing date for such registration statement(s) and (B)
the fifth trading day following the date on which the Company is notified by the
SEC that such registration statement(s) will not be reviewed or is no longer
subject to further review.
(b) Priority on Demand
Registrations. In the case of a Demand Registration for an
underwritten public offering that is made within fifteen months of the date
hereof, if the managing underwriter, which shall be a nationally recognized
investment bank selected by the Company following consultation with the
Shareholder, advises the Company in writing that in such investment bank’s
judgment, the number of Registrable Securities and, other securities requested
to be included in such offering exceeds the number of Registrable Securities and
other securities, if any, which can be sold therein without adversely affecting
the marketability of the offering or the trading price of the Common Stock, the
Company shall include in such registration statement (in the following order of
priority) (i) first, the quantity of Registrable Securities requested to be
included in such registration statement, (ii) second, securities to be sold
by the
Company
for its own account and (iii) third, other securities requested to be included
in such registration statement, in each such case which in the opinion of such
underwriters can be sold without adversely affecting the marketability of the
offering or the trading price of the Common Stock. In the case of all
other Demand Registrations for an underwritten public offering hereunder, if the
managing underwriter, which shall be a nationally recognized investment bank
selected by the Company following consultation with the Shareholder, advises the
Company in writing that in such investment bank’s judgment, the number of
Registrable Securities and, other securities requested to be included in such
offering exceeds the number of Registrable Securities and other securities, if
any, which can be sold therein without adversely affecting the marketability of
the offering or the trading price of the Common Stock, the Company shall include
in such registration statement (in the following order of priority) (i) first,
securities to be sold by the Company for its own account, (ii) second, the
quantity of Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration
statement and (iii) third, other securities requested to be included in such
registration statement, in each such case which in the opinion of such
underwriters can be sold without adversely affecting the marketability of the
offering or the trading price of the Common Stock.
(c) Restrictions on Demand
Registrations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
herein:
(i)
|
Subject
to Section
3.1(c)(iii), the Company shall not be obligated to effect (1) more
than one Demand Registration for an underwritten public offering which has
become effective, and (2) more than one effective “shelf”
registration statement at any one time under Rule 415 under the
Securities Act or (3) any Demand Registration (whether for an
underwritten public offering or for a “shelf” registration statement)
within sixty days after the effective date of a previous registration
statement, including any registration in which the Shareholder was
afforded piggyback rights pursuant to Section 3.2
hereof and the Shareholder’s Registrable Securities were actually included
therein.
|
(ii)
|
If
the Board determines in good faith that the filing or effectiveness of a
Registration Statement in connection with a requested Demand Registration
(A) would be reasonably likely to interfere with any pending or
contemplated acquisition, divestiture, financing, registered primary
offering or other transaction involving the Company or (B) would
require disclosure of facts or circumstances which the Company would not
otherwise be required to then disclose, which disclosure would, in the
good faith judgment of the Board, be materially disadvantageous to the
Company, or (C) would otherwise, in the good faith judgment of the
Board, be materially detrimental to the Company, then the Company may
delay (or if necessary or advisable withdraw) the filing, or delay the
effectiveness, of such registration (or offers and sales of securities
registered under a shelf Demand Registration), with prompt written notice
provided to the Shareholder, for a period of up to sixty consecutive days
so long as the basis for such delay continues; provided that in no event
may the Company trigger this Section
3.1(c)(ii) more than twice in any twelve month
period.
|
(iii)
|
If
for any reason the Company is unable to cause all requested Registrable
Securities to be included in a registration statement hereunder, the
Shareholder may request, and the Company agrees to effect, one (1)
additional Demand Registration in accordance with the terms and procedures
set forth in this Section
3.1. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein, the Company agrees to include all Registrable Securities requested
by the Shareholder on such additional registration
statement.
|
(iv)
|
The
Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to keep any registration
statement contemplated hereby continuously effective under the Securities
Act for a period not to exceed (A) in the case of a “shelf” registration
statement, eighteen (18) months from the date of effectiveness, and
(B) in the case of a Demand Registration for an underwritten public
offering, one hundred twenty (120) days from the date of effectiveness,
or, in each case, such shorter period during which there are any
Registrable Securities; provided, however, in each such case, the
effectiveness period of a registration statement covered hereby shall be
extended for a period of time equal to the amount of time such
registration statement was unavailable to the Shareholder due to the
Company’s election under Section
3.1(c)(ii) hereof.
|
(d) Underwritings. In
the case of any Demand Registration that is for an underwritten public offering,
the managing underwriters shall be selected by the Company following
consultation with the Shareholder. In order to participate, or have
any Registrable Securities included, in such registration the Shareholder shall
accept the terms of such underwriting as approved in good faith by the Company
and the Shareholder, and as the managing underwriters of such offering may
require, the Shareholder shall (i) enter into such underwriting, custody,
indemnity and other agreements and (ii) complete and deliver such questionnaires
and other documents, in each such case in form and substance reasonably
acceptable to the Shareholder.
SECTION
3.2 Piggy-back
Registration (a) If
the Company at any time proposes to register its Common Stock under the
Securities Act (other than a registration statement on Form S-4 or S-8, or any
successor or other forms promulgated for similar purposes), whether or not for
its own account (including in a registration pursuant to registration rights
held by any Person (each a “Third Party Holder”)), it will, at each such time,
give written notice to the Shareholder of its intention to do so setting forth
the principal terms and conditions thereof. Upon the written request
of the Shareholder made within ten (10) Business Days after the receipt of any
such notice (which request shall
specify
the Registrable Securities intended to be disposed of by the Shareholder), the
Company will use commercially reasonable best efforts to include in the
registration under the Securities Act all Registrable Securities which the
Company has been so requested to register by the Shareholder; provided, that (i)
if, at any time after giving written notice of its intention to register any
securities and prior to the effective date of the registration statement filed
in connection with such registration, the Company shall determine for any reason
not to proceed with the proposed registration of the securities to be sold, the
Company may, at its election, give written notice of such determination to the
Shareholder and, thereupon, shall be relieved of its obligation to register any
Registrable Securities in connection with such registration and (ii) if such
registration involves an underwritten public offering, the Shareholder must sell
its Registrable Securities through the underwriters selected by the Company on
the same terms and conditions as apply to the Company (with such differences,
including any with respect to indemnification and liability insurance, as may be
customary or appropriate in combined primary and secondary offerings) or to the
Third Party Holder. If a registration requested pursuant to this
Section 3.2(a)
involves an underwritten public offering, the Shareholder may elect, in writing
not later than two (2) Business Days prior to the effective date of the
registration statement filed in connection with such registration, not to
register such securities in connection with such
registration. Subject to the foregoing, the Company will use
commercially reasonable efforts (i) to file a registration statement
contemplated under this Section with the SEC on or prior to the 30th day
following written notice by the Shareholder and (ii) to cause such registration
statement to be declared effective by the SEC on the earlier of: (A) the 60th day
following the filing date for such registration statement(s) and (B) the fifth
trading day following the date on which the Company is notified by the SEC that
such registration statement(s) will not be reviewed or is no longer subject to
further review.
(b) Priority in
Registrations. If a registration pursuant to this Section 3.2
involves an underwritten public offering and the managing underwriter advises
the Company in writing that, in its good faith judgment, the number of
securities requested to be included in such registration exceeds the number
which can be sold in such offering without resulting in an adverse effect on the
price, timing or distribution of the securities offered in such offering as
contemplated by the Company (other than the Registrable Securities), then the
Company will include in such registration (i) first, 100% of the securities the
Company proposes to issue and sell and (ii) second, to the extent of the number
of Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration pursuant
to this Section
3.2 which, in the opinion of such managing underwriter, can be sold
without having the adverse effect referred to above, the number of Registrable
Securities which the Shareholder has requested to be included in such
registration and holders of the securities having similar registration rights,
such amount to be allocated pro rata among all requesting holders on the basis
of the relative number of shares then held by each such holder.
SECTION
3.3 Registration
Procedures If
and whenever the Company is required to seek to effect or cause the registration
of any Registrable Securities under the Securities Act as provided in this
Agreement, the Company will:
(a) use
reasonable best efforts to prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and
supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection
therewith as may be necessary to keep such registration statement effective for
the periods of time set forth herein and to comply with the provisions of the
Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC
thereunder with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such
registration statement during such period in accordance with the intended
methods of disposition by the Shareholder set forth in such registration
statement;
(b) respond
as promptly as practicable to any comments received from the SEC with respect to
each registration statement or any amendment thereto and, as promptly as
reasonably practicable provide the Shareholder true and complete copies of all
correspondence from and to the SEC relating to such registration statement
except to the extent that would, in the Company’s reasonable
judgment, result in the potential disclosure to the Shareholder of
material non-public information concerning the Company;
(c) furnish
to the Shareholder such number of copies of such registration statement and of
each amendment and supplement thereto (in each case including all exhibits filed
therewith, including any documents incorporated by reference), such number of
copies of the prospectus included in such registration statement (including each
preliminary prospectus and summary prospectus), in conformity with the
requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents as the Shareholder
may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable
Securities by the Shareholder;
(d) use
reasonable best efforts to register or qualify such Registrable Securities
covered by such registration under such other securities or blue sky laws in
such jurisdictions as the Shareholder shall reasonably request, and do any and
all other acts and things which may be reasonably necessary or advisable to
enable the Shareholder to consummate the disposition in such jurisdictions of
the Registrable Securities owned by the Shareholder, except that the Company
shall not for any such purpose be required to qualify generally to do business
as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction where, but for the requirements of
this Section
3.3(d), it would not be obligated to be so qualified, to subject itself
to taxation in any such jurisdiction or to consent to general service of process
in any such jurisdiction;
(e) notify
the Shareholder at any time when a prospectus relating to such Shareholder’s
Registrable Securities is required to be delivered under the Securities Act
within the appropriate period mentioned in Section 3.3(a),
of the Company’s becoming aware that the prospectus included in such
registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a
material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made, and at the request of the Shareholder,
prepare and furnish to the Shareholder a reasonable number of copies of
an
amended
or supplemental prospectus as may be necessary so that, as thereafter delivered
to the purchasers of such Registrable Securities, such prospectus shall not
include 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 not
misleading in the light of the circumstances under which they were
made;
(f) comply
with the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC, and use reasonable efforts
to make available to its shareholders, as soon as reasonably practicable (but
not more than eighteen months) after the effective date of the registration
statement, an earnings statement which shall satisfy the provisions of Section
11(a) of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations promulgated
thereunder;
(g) (i) use
reasonable efforts to list such Registrable Securities on the principal national
securities exchange on which the Common Stock is then listed if such Registrable
Securities are not already so listed and if such listing is then permitted under
the rules of such exchange; and (ii) use reasonable efforts to provide a
transfer agent and registrar for such Registrable Securities covered by such
registration statement not later than the effective date of such registration
statement;
(h) enter
into such customary agreements (including an underwriting agreement in customary
form), which may include indemnification provisions in favor of underwriters and
other persons in addition to, or in substitution for, the provisions of Section 3.4
hereof, as the underwriters, if any, reasonably request in order to expedite or
facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities;
(i) make
available for reasonable inspection by the Shareholder, by any underwriter
participating in any disposition to be effected pursuant to any such
registration statement covered hereby and by any attorney, accountant or other
agent retained by the Shareholder or any such underwriter, in each case upon
reasonable notice, pertinent financial and other records, pertinent corporate
documents and properties of the Company, and cause the Company’s officers,
directors and employees to supply all pertinent information reasonably requested
by the Shareholder, underwriter, attorney, accountant or agent in connection
with such registration statement, and use reasonable best efforts to provide
reasonable opportunities to discuss the business of the Company with the
independent public accountants who have certified or reviewed the Company’s
financial statements;
(j) notify
the Shareholder and the managing underwriter or agent, immediately, and confirm
the notice in writing (i) when the registration statement, or any post-effective
amendment to the registration statement, shall have become effective, or any
supplement to the prospectus or any amendment to the prospectus shall have been
filed, and (ii) of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the
effectiveness of the registration statement or of any order preventing or
suspending the use of any preliminary prospectus, or of the suspension of the
qualification of the registration statement for offering or sale in any
jurisdiction, or of the institution or threatening of any proceedings for any of
such purposes;
(k) make
reasonable efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order suspending the
effectiveness of the registration statement or of any order preventing or
suspending the use of any preliminary prospectus and, if any such order is
issued, to obtain the withdrawal of any such order at the earliest possible
moment;
(l) if
requested by the managing underwriter or agent or the Shareholder, promptly
incorporate in a prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment such
information as the managing underwriter or agent or the Shareholder reasonably
requests to be included therein, including, without limitation, with respect to
the number of Registrable Securities being sold by the Shareholder to such
underwriter or agent, the purchase price being paid therefor by such underwriter
or agent and with respect to any other terms of the underwritten public
offering; and make all required filings of such prospectus supplement or
post-effective amendment as soon as practicable after being notified of the
matters incorporated in such prospectus supplement or post-effective
amendment;
(m) cooperate
with the Shareholder and the managing underwriter or agent, if any, to
facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing
securities to be sold under the registration statement, and enable such
securities to be in such denominations and registered in such names as the
managing underwriter or agent, if any, or the Shareholder may
request;
(n) cooperate
with the Shareholder and each underwriter or agent participating in the
disposition of such Registrable Securities and their respective counsel in
connection with any filings required to be made with the FINRA; and
(o) (i)
use reasonable efforts to furnish an opinion of counsel for the Company
addressed to the underwriters dated the date of the closing under the
underwriting agreement (if any), and (ii) use reasonable efforts to furnish at
the Shareholder’s expense a “cold comfort” letter addressed to the underwriters
and the Shareholder, if permissible under applicable accounting practices, and
signed by the independent registered public accounting firm that has audited the
Company’s financial statements included in such registration statement, in each
such case covering substantially the same matters with respect to such
registration statement (and the prospectus included therein) as are customarily
covered in opinions of issuer’s counsel and in accountants’ letters delivered to
underwriters in underwritten public offerings of securities.
The
Company may require the Shareholder to furnish the Company with such information
regarding such Shareholder and pertinent to the disclosure requirements relating
to the registration and the distribution of such securities as the Company may
from time to time reasonably request in writing.
The
Shareholder agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the
happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3.3(e),
the Shareholder
will
forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the
registration statement covering such Registrable Securities until the
Shareholder’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus
contemplated by Section 3.3(e), and,
if so directed by the Company, the Shareholder will deliver to the Company all
copies, other than permanent file copies then in the Shareholder’s possession,
of the prospectus covering such Registrable Securities current at the time of
receipt of such notice.
SECTION
3.4 Indemnification
(a) Indemnification by the
Company. In the event of any registration of any securities of
the Company under the Securities Act pursuant to Section 3.1 or Section 3.2, the
Company will, and it hereby does, indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest
extent permitted by law, the Shareholder, each Affiliate of the Shareholder and
any of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, investment
advisors, partners, members and controlling Persons, and the officers,
directors, agents and employees of each such controlling Person, from and
against any and all losses, claims, damages, costs (including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees), liabilities, and expenses
(collectively, “Losses”), as
incurred, arising out of or relating to (a) any untrue or alleged untrue
statement of any 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, under which Registrable Securities were
registered under the Securities Act, or any document incorporated by reference
therein and other documents filed under the Exchange Act, or (b) any omission or
alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein
or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a prospectus, in
light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading; except to
the extent, but only to the extent, that any such Losses arise out of or are
based upon any untrue statement or omission made in such registration statement
or amendment or supplement thereto or in any such preliminary, final or summary
prospectus in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished
to the Company by the Shareholder expressly for use therein; and provided, further, that the
Company shall not be liable to the extent that any Losses arise out of or are
based upon the use of any prospectus after such time as the Company has advised
the Shareholder in writing that a post-effective amendment or supplement thereto
is required, but only if and to the extent that following receipt of the amended
or supplement prospectus the misstatement or omission giving rise to such
indemnification obligation would have been corrected.
(b) Indemnification by the
Shareholder. The Shareholder shall indemnify and hold harmless
the Company from and against all Losses, as incurred, arising out of or relating
to any untrue statement of a material fact contained in a registration statement
covering Registrable Securities, and any preliminary, final or summary
prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arising
out of or based upon any omission of a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, to the
extent but only to the extent that such untrue statements or omissions are based
upon information regarding the Shareholder furnished in writing to the Company
by the Shareholder expressly for use
therein. In
no event shall the liability of the Shareholder hereunder be greater in amount
than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by the Shareholder upon the
sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification
obligation.
(c) Notices of Claims,
Etc. Promptly after receipt by any Person entitled to
indemnification hereunder (an “Indemnified Party”)
of written notice of the commencement of any Proceeding with respect to which a
claim for indemnification may be made pursuant to this Section 3.4, such
Indemnified Party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the
Person from whom indemnity is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”),
give written notice to the Indemnifying Party of the commencement of such
Proceeding; provided, that the
failure of the Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein shall not
relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Section 3.4, except
to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by such failure
to give notice. In case any such Proceeding is brought against an
Indemnified Party, unless advised by such Indemnified Party’s counsel in a
written opinion that a conflict of interest between such Indemnified Party and
Indemnifying Party exists in respect of such claim or the Indemnifying Party
fails to timely assume the defense of such claim, the Indemnifying Party will be
entitled to participate in and to assume the defense thereof, with counsel
reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party, and after notice from the
Indemnifying Party to such Indemnified Party of its election so to assume the
defense thereof, the Indemnifying Party will not be liable to such Indemnified
Party for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the latter in
connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of
investigation. No Indemnifying Party will consent to entry of any
judgment or enter into any settlement without the Indemnified Party’s prior
written consent.
(d) Contribution. If
a claim for indemnification under Section 3.4(a) or
Section 3.4(b)
is unavailable to an Indemnified Party (by reason of public policy or
otherwise), then the 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 Section 3.4(c), 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
3.4 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 3.4(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
3.4(d), the Shareholder shall not be required to contribute, in the
aggregate, any amount in excess of the amount by which the proceeds actually
received by such Shareholder from the sale of the Registrable Securities subject
to the Proceeding exceeds the amount of any damages that such Shareholder has
otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue
statement or omission or alleged omission.
(e) Non-Exclusivity. The
obligations of the parties under this Section 3.4
shall be in addition to any liability which any party may otherwise have to any
other party.
SECTION
3.5 Rule 144 The
Company covenants that it will use reasonable best efforts to timely file the
reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act
and the rules and regulations adopted by the SEC thereunder (or, if the Company
is not required to file such reports, it will, upon the request of the
Shareholder, make publicly available such information), and it will take such
further action as the Shareholder may reasonably request, to the extent required
from time to time to enable the Shareholder to sell Registrable Securities
without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the
exemptions provided by (i) Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as such Rule may
be amended from time to time, or (ii) any similar rules or regulations hereafter
adopted by the SEC.
SECTION
3.6 Holdback
Agreement In
the case of any registration in connection with Section 3.2, if
requested by the managing underwriters, the Shareholder shall agree not to
Transfer any Company Equity Securities (other than as part of such registration)
for a period, commencing up to seven (7) days before, and ending up to ninety
(90) days following, the trade date for such offering, as the underwriting
agreement may require.

Agreement.
SECTION
5.9 Delays or
Omissions It
is agreed that no delay or omission to exercise any right, power or remedy
accruing to any party, upon any breach, default or noncompliance by another
party under this Agreement, shall impair any such right, power or remedy, nor
shall it be construed to be a waiver of any such breach, default or
noncompliance, or any acquiescence therein, or of or in any similar breach,
default or noncompliance thereafter occurring. It is further agreed
that any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind or character on the
part of any party hereto of any breach, default or noncompliance under this
Agreement or any waiver on such party’s part of any provisions or conditions of
this Agreement, must be in writing and shall be
effective
only to the extent specifically set forth in such writing. All
remedies, either under this Agreement, by law, or otherwise afforded to any
party, shall be cumulative and not alternative.
SECTION
5.10 Governing Law; Consent to
Jurisdiction; Venue This
Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the
State of New York. Each party hereto agrees that it will bring any action or
proceeding in respect of any claim arising out of or related to this Agreement
or the transactions contemplated hereby, whether in tort or contract or at law
or in equity, exclusively in the federal or state courts located in New York,
New York (the “Chosen
Courts”). In addition, each party hereby (a) irrevocably submits to the
exclusive jurisdiction of the Chosen Courts, (b) waives, to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable law, any objection to laying venue in the Chosen Court
and agrees that it will not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction

objection or defense that the Chosen Court is an inconvenient forum or does not
have personal jurisdiction over any party hereto. Each party hereto further
agrees that, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, any final
judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be
enforced in any other jurisdiction within or outside the United States by suit
on the judgment. Further, each party hereto hereby waives all right to trial by

as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this
Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under
any applicable law or rule in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or
unenforceability shall not affect any other provision or any other jurisdiction,
but this Agreement shall be reformed, construed and enforced in such
jurisdiction as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never
been contained herein.
SECTION
5.12 Enforcement Each
party hereto acknowledges that money damages would not be an adequate remedy in
the event that any of the covenants or agreements in this Agreement are not
performed in accordance with its terms, and it is therefore agreed that in
addition to and without limiting any other remedy or right it may have, the
non-breaching party will have the right to an injunction, temporary restraining
order or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction enjoining
any such breach and enforcing specifically the terms and provisions
hereof.
