“Potential Material Event” means any of the following: (i) the possession by Little Squaw of material information not ripe for disclosure in a registration statement, as determined in good faith by the Chief Executive Officer, President or the Board of Directors of Little Squaw that disclosure of such information in a Registration Statement would be detrimental to the business and affairs of Little Squaw; or (ii) any material engagement or activity by Little Squaw which would, in the good faith determination of the Chief Executive Officer, President or the Board of Directors of Little Squaw, be adversely affected by disclosure in a registration statement at such time, which determination shall be accompanied by a good faith determination by the Chief Executive Officer, President or the Board of Directors of Little Squaw that the applicable Registration Statement would be materially misleading absent the inclusion of such information; provided that, (i) Little Squaw shall not use such right with respect to the Registration Statement for more than an aggregate of 90 days in any 12-month period; and (ii) the number of days Little Squaw is required to keep the Registration Statement effective shall be extended by the number of days for which the Company shall have used such right..
g.
The Subscriber will cooperate with Little Squaw in all respects in connection with this Agreement, including timely supplying all information reasonably requested by Little Squaw (which shall include all information regarding the Subscriber and proposed manner of sale of the Registrable Securities required to be disclosed in any Registration Statement) and executing and returning all documents reasonably requested in connection with the registration and sale of the Registrable Securities and entering into and performing its obligations under any underwriting agreement, if the offering is an underwritten offering, in usual and customary form, with the managing underwriter or underwriters of such underwritten offering. Any delay or delays caused by the Subscriber, or by any other purchaser of securities of Little Squaw having registration rights similar to those contained herein, by failure to cooperate as required hereunder shall not constitute a breach or default of Little Squaw under this Agreement.
h.
Whenever Little Squaw is required by any of the provisions of this Agreement to effect the registration of any of the Registrable Securities under the U.S. Securities Act, Little Squaw shall (except as otherwise provided in this Agreement), as expeditiously as possible, subject to the assistance and cooperation as reasonably required of the Subscriber with respect to each Registration Statement:
(i)
(A) prior to the filing with the SEC of any Registration Statement (including any amendments thereto) and the distribution or delivery of any prospectus (including any supplements thereto), provide draft copies thereof to the Subscriber and reflect in such documents all such comments as the Subscriber (and its counsel), reasonably may propose respecting the Selling Shareholders and Plan of Distribution sections (or equivalents) and (B) furnish to the Subscriber such numbers of copies of a prospectus including a preliminary prospectus or any amendment or supplement to any prospectus, as applicable, in conformity with the requirements of the U.S. Securities Act, and such other documents, as the Subscriber may reasonably request in order to facilitate the public sale or other disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by the Subscriber;
(ii)
register and qualify the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement under such other securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as the Subscriber shall reasonably request (subject to the limitations set forth in Section (b) above), and do any and all other acts and things which may be necessary or advisable to enable the Subscriber to consummate the public sale or other disposition in such jurisdiction of the securities owned by the Subscriber;
Subscription Agreement - 12 of 19
(iii)
cause the Registrable Securities to be quoted or listed on each service on which the Common Stock of Little Squaw is then quoted or listed;
(iv)
notify the Subscriber, at any time when a prospectus relating thereto covered by the Registration Statement is required to be delivered under the U.S. Securities Act, of the happening of any event of which it has knowledge as a result of which the prospectus included in the 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 then existing, and Little Squaw shall prepare and file a curative amendment as promptly as commercially reasonable;
(v)
as promptly as practicable after becoming aware of such event, notify the Subscriber, (or, in the event of an underwritten offering, the managing underwriters) of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order or other suspension of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement at the earliest possible time and take all lawful action to effect the withdrawal, recession or removal of such stop order or other suspension; and
(vi)
provide a transfer agent and registrar for all securities registered pursuant to the Registration Statement and a CUSIP number for all such securities.
j.
With respect to any sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Section 4, the Subscriber hereby covenants with Little Squaw (i) not to make any sale of the Registrable Securities without effectively causing the prospectus delivery requirements under the Securities Act to be satisfied and (ii) to notify Little Squaw promptly upon disposition of all of the Registrable Securities.
k.
In addition to the registration rights set forth in Section 4(a), if the Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 4(a) is not filed within 120 calendar days from the Closing Date, or otherwise declared effective by the SEC, then the Subscribers shall also have certain “piggy-back” registration rights as follows:
(i)
If at any time after the issuance of the Registrable Securities, Little Squaw shall file with the SEC a registration statement under the U.S. Securities Act registering any shares of equity securities, Little Squaw shall give written notice to the Subscriber prior to such filing.
(ii)
Within twenty (20) calendar days after such notice from Little Squaw, the Subscriber shall give written notice to Little Squaw whether or not such Subscriber desires to have all of such Subscriber’s Registrable Securities included in the registration statement. If any Subscriber fails to give such notice within such period, such Subscriber shall not have the right to have Subscriber’s Registrable Securities registered pursuant to such registration statement. If the Subscriber gives such notice, then Little Squaw shall include such Subscriber’s Registrable Securities in the registration statement, at Company’s sole cost and expense, subject to the remaining terms of this Section 4(k).
(iii)
If the registration statement relates to an underwritten offering, and the underwriter shall determine in writing that the total number of shares of equity securities to be included in the offering, including the Registrable Securities, shall exceed the amount which the underwriter deems to be appropriate for the offering, the number of shares of
Subscription Agreement - 13 of 19
the Registrable Securities shall be reduced in the same proportion as the remainder of the shares in the offering and such participating Subscriber’s Registrable Securities included in such registration statement will be reduced proportionately. For this purpose, if other securities in the registration statement are derivative securities, their underlying shares shall be included in the computation. Each participating Subscriber shall enter into such agreements as may be reasonably required by the underwriters and each Subscriber shall pay the underwriters commissions relating to the sale of their respective Registrable Securities.
(iv)
The Subscribers shall have an unlimited number of opportunities to have the Registrable Securities registered under this Section 4(k) provided that Little Squaw shall not be required to register any Registrable Security or keep any Registration Statement effective beyond such period required under Section 4(b) of this Agreement.
(v)
The Subscriber shall furnish in writing to Little Squaw such information as Little Squaw shall reasonably require in connection with a registration statement.
l.
Little Squaw acknowledges that there is no adequate remedy at law for failure by it to comply with the provisions of Section 4 of this Agreement and that such failure would not be adequately compensable in damages, and therefore agrees that its agreements contained in this Section 4 may be specifically enforced. If (A) the Registration Statement is not filed on or prior to the date of filing required pursuant to Section 4(a)(i); (B) the Registration Statement is not declared effective on or prior to the date required by Section 4(a)(ii) or (C) notwithstanding Section 4(b), after the date first declared effective by the SEC and prior to the expiration of the Effectiveness Period, the Registration Statement ceases to be effective and available to the Subscriber as to its Registrable Securities (whether pursuant to Section 4(e) or otherwise) without being succeeded within 20 trading days by an effective amendment thereto or by a subsequent registration statement filed with and declared effective by the SEC, (any such failure being referred to as an "Event" and the date of such failure being the "Event Date"), then, in addition to any other rights available to the Subscriber under this Agreement or applicable law on the failure by Little Squaw to comply with the Event required pursuant to Section 4(a)(i), 4(a)(ii) or 4(e), Little Squaw shall issue to the Subscriber Common Shares, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, with a fair market value (determined by the average closing price of the Common Shares on the OTCBB during the ten days preceding the issuance of such shares) equal to two percent (2%) of the Subscription Price paid by the Subscriber and on each monthly anniversary of such Event Date (if the Event has not been cured by such date) until the applicable Event is cured; provided, however, that any liquidated damages that accrue hereunder shall not exceed eight percent (8%)of the Subscription Price paid by the Subscriber. The liquidated damages pursuant to the terms hereof shall apply on a pro rata basis for any portion of a month prior to the cure of an Event;
5.
Indemnity and Contribution
a.
Little Squaw agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Subscriber, their respective officers, directors, employees, partners, legal counsel and accountants, and each person controlling such Subscriber within the meaning of Section 15 of the U.S. Securities Act, and each person who controls any underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the U.S. Securities Act, from and against any losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) to which such Subscriber or such other indemnified person may become subject (including in settlement of litigation, whether commenced or threatened) insofar as such losses, claims, damages, expenses or
Subscription Agreement - 14 of 19
liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact in the Registration Statement, including all documents filed as a part thereof and information deemed to be a part thereof, on the effective date thereof, or any amendment or supplements thereto, or arise out of any failure by Little Squaw to fulfill any undertaking or covenant included in the Registration Statement or to perform its obligations hereunder or under applicable law and Little Squaw will, as incurred, reimburse such Subscriber, each of its respective officers, directors, employees, partners, legal counsel and accountants, and each person controlling such Subscriber, and each person who controls any such underwriter, for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in investigating, defending or preparing to defend, settling, compromising or paying such action, proceeding or claim; provided, however, that Little Squaw shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that such loss, claim, damage, expense or liability (or action or proceeding in respect thereof) arises out of, or is based upon, (i) the failure of any Subscriber, or any of their agents, affiliates or persons acting on their behalf, to comply with the covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement with respect to the sale of Registrable Securities, (ii) an untrue statement or omission in such Registration Statement in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to Little Squaw by an instrument duly executed by or on behalf of the Subscriber, or any of its agents, affiliates or persons acting on its behalf, and stated to be specifically for use in preparation of the Registration Statement and not corrected in a timely manner by the Subscriber in writing or (iii) an untrue statement or omission in any prospectus that is corrected in any subsequent prospectus, or supplement or amendment thereto, that was delivered to the Subscriber prior to the pertinent sale or sales by such Subscriber and not delivered by the Subscriber to the individual or entity to which it made such sale(s) prior to such sale(s).
b.
The Subscriber agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Little Squaw from and against any losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) to which Little Squaw may become subject (under the U.S. Securities Act or otherwise) insofar as such losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) arise out of, or are based upon (i) the failure of the Subscriber or any of its agents, affiliates or persons acting on its behalf, to comply with the covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement with respect to the sale of Registrable Securities; or (ii) an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission to state a material fact in the Registration Statement in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to Little Squaw by an instrument duly executed by or on behalf of such Subscriber and stated to be specifically for use in preparation of the Registration Statement; provided, however, that the Subscriber shall not be liable in any such case for (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission in any prospectus or Registration Statement which statement has been corrected, in writing, by such Subscriber and delivered to Little Squaw before the sale from which such loss occurred; or (ii) an untrue statement or omission in any prospectus that is corrected in any subsequent prospectus, or supplement or amendment thereto, that was delivered to the Subscriber prior to the pertinent sale or sales by the Subscriber and delivered by the Subscriber to the individual or entity to which it made such sale(s) prior to such sale(s), and the Subscriber, severally and not jointly, will, as incurred, reimburse Little Squaw for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in investigating, defending or preparing to defend any such action, proceeding or claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Subscriber shall not be liable or required to indemnify Little Squaw in the aggregate for any amount in excess of the net amount received by the Subscriber from the sale of the Registrable Securities, to which such loss, claim, damage, expense or liability (or action proceeding in respect thereof) relates.
c.
Promptly after receipt by any indemnified person of a notice of a claim or the beginning of any action in respect of which indemnity is to be sought against an indemnifying person pursuant to this Section
Subscription Agreement - 15 of 19
5, such indemnified person shall notify the indemnifying person in writing of such claim or of the commencement of such action and, subject to the provisions hereinafter stated, in case any such action shall be brought against an indemnified person, the indemnifying person shall be entitled to participate therein, and, to the extent that it shall wish, to assume the defense thereof. After notice from the indemnifying person to such indemnified person of the indemnifying person’s election to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying person shall not be liable to such indemnified person for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified person in connection with the defense thereof; provided, however, that if there exists or shall exist a conflict of interest that would, in the opinion of counsel to the indemnified party, make it inappropriate under applicable laws or codes of professional responsibility for the same counsel to represent both the indemnified person and such indemnifying person or any affiliate or associate thereof, the indemnified person shall be entitled to retain its own counsel at the expense of such indemnifying person; provided, further, that the indemnifying person shall not be obligated to assume the expenses of more than one counsel to represent all indemnified persons. In the event of such separate counsel, such counsel shall agree to reasonably cooperate.
d.
If the indemnification provided for in this Section 5 is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above in respect of any losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of Little Squaw on the one hand and the Subscriber, or its agents, affiliates or persons acting on its behalf, on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by Little Squaw on the one hand or the Subscriber, or its agents, affiliates or persons acting on its behalf, on the other and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. Little Squaw and the Subscriber agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this subsection (d) were determined by any other method of allocation which does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to above in this subsection (d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) referred to above in this subsection (d) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the U.S. Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. In any event, the Subscriber shall not be liable or required to contribute to Little Squaw in the aggregate for any amount in excess of the net amount received by the Subscriber from the sale of its Registrable Securities.
