8. REGISTRATION
RIGHTS.
8.1 Definitions.
As used
in this Agreement, the following terms shall have the meanings set forth
below:
(a) “Holder”
shall mean a Subscriber who holds Registrable Securities and any holder of
Registrable Securities to whom the registration rights conferred by this
Agreement have been transferred in compliance with Section 8.7
hereof.
(b) “Other
Stockholders” shall mean persons other than Holders who, by virtue of agreements
with the Company, are entitled to include their securities in certain
registrations hereunder.
(c) “Registrable
Securities” shall mean (i) shares of Common Stock issued or issuable pursuant to
the conversion of the Notes or exercise of the Warrants and (ii) any Common
Stock issued as a dividend or other distribution with respect to or in exchange
for or in replacement of the shares referenced in (i) above; provided, however,
that Registrable Securities shall not include any shares of Common Stock which
have previously been registered or which have been sold to the public either
pursuant to a registration statement or an exemption from registration under
the
Act (including Rule 144), which have been sold in a private transaction in
which
the transferor’s rights under this Agreement are not assigned or which may be
sold by a Holder in a three-month period pursuant to Rule 144.
(d) The
terms
“register,”“registered” and “registration” shall refer to a registration
effected by preparing and filing a registration statement in compliance with
the
Act and applicable rules and regulations thereunder, and the declaration or
ordering of the effectiveness of such registration statement.
18
(e) “Registration
Expenses” shall mean all expenses incurred in effecting any registration
pursuant to this Agreement, including, without limitation, all registration,
qualification, and filing fees, printing expenses, escrow fees, fees and
disbursements of counsel for the Company, blue sky fees and expenses, and
expenses of any regular or special audits incident to or required by any such
registration, but shall not include Selling Expenses and the compensation of
regular employees of the Company, which shall be paid in any event by the
Company.
(f) “Rule
144” shall mean Rule 144 as promulgated by the SEC under the Act, as such Rule
may be amended from time to time, or any similar successor rule that may be
promulgated by the SEC.
(g) “Rule
145” shall mean Rule 145 as promulgated by the SEC under the Act, as such Rule
may be amended from time to time, or any similar successor rule that may be
promulgated by the SEC.
(h) “Selling
Expenses” shall mean all underwriting discounts, selling commissions, fees and
expenses of counsel for the Holders and stock transfer taxes applicable to
the
sale of Registrable Securities.
8.2 Piggy-Back
Registration.
(a) If
the
Company shall determine to register any of its securities either for its own
account or the account of a security holder or holders exercising any
registration rights, other than a registration relating solely to employee
benefit plans, or a registration relating to a corporate reorganization or
other
transaction under Rule 145, or a registration on any registration form that
does
not permit secondary sales, the Company will:
(i) promptly
give to each Holder written notice thereof; and
(ii) use
its
best efforts to include in such registration (and any related qualification
under blue sky laws or other compliance), except as set forth in Section 8.2(b)
below, and in any underwriting involved therein, all the Registrable Securities
specified in a written request or requests, made by any Holder and received
by
the Company within twenty (20) days after the written notice from the Company
described in clause (i) above is mailed or delivered by the Company. Such
written request may specify all or a part of a Holder’s Registrable
Securities.
(b) If
the
registration of which the Company gives notice is for a registered public
offering involving an underwriting, the Company shall so advise the Holders
as a
part of the written notice given pursuant to Section 8.2(a)(i). In such event,
the right of any Holder to registration pursuant to this Section shall be
conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in such underwriting and the
inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the
extent provided herein. All Holders proposing to distribute their securities
through such underwriting shall (together with the Company and the other holders
of securities of the Company with registration rights to participate therein
distributing their securities through such underwriting) enter into an
underwriting agreement in customary form with the representative of the
underwriter or underwriters selected by the Company.
19
Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Section, if the representative of the underwriters
advises the Company in writing that marketing factors require a limitation
on
the number of shares to be underwritten, the representative may (subject to
the
limitations set forth below) exclude all Registrable Securities from, or limit
the number of Registrable Securities to be included in, the registration and
underwriting. The Company shall so advise all holders of securities requesting
registration, and the number of shares of securities that are entitled to be
included in the registration and underwriting shall be allocated first to the
Company for securities being sold for its own account and thereafter as set
forth in Section 8.8. If any person does not agree to the terms of any such
underwriting or otherwise fails to comply with the provisions of this Agreement,
such person shall be excluded therefrom by written notice from the Company
or
the underwriter. Any Registrable Securities or other securities excluded or
withdrawn from such underwriting shall be withdrawn from such
registration.
If
shares
are so withdrawn from the registration or if the number of Registrable
Securities to be included in such registration was previously reduced as a
result of marketing factors, the Company shall then offer to all persons who
have retained the right to include securities in the registration the right
to
include additional securities in the registration in an aggregate amount equal
to the number of shares so withdrawn, with such shares to be allocated among
the
persons requesting additional inclusion in accordance with Section 8.8
hereof.
8.3 Expenses
of Registration.
All
Registration Expenses incurred in connection with any registration,
qualification or compliance pursuant to this Section shall be borne by the
Company. All Selling Expenses relating to securities so registered shall be
borne by the holders of such securities pro rata on the basis of the number
of
shares of securities so registered on their behalf, as shall any other expenses
in connection with the registration required to be borne by the holders of
such
securities.
8.4 Registration
Procedures.
In the
case of each registration effected by the Company pursuant to this Section,
the
Company will keep each Holder advised in writing as to the initiation of each
registration and as to the completion thereof. At its expense, the Company
will
use its best efforts to:
(a) subject
to Section 8.9 below, keep such registration effective for a period of one
hundred eighty (180) days or until the Holder or Holders have completed the
distribution described in the registration statement relating thereto, whichever
first occurs; provided, however, that such one hundred eighty (180) day period
shall be extended for a period of time equal to the period the Holder refrains
from selling any securities included in such registration at the request of
an
underwriter of Common Stock (or other securities) of the Company;
20
(b) prepare
and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such registration
statement and the prospectus used in connection with such registration statement
as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Act with respect to
the
disposition of all securities covered by such registration
statement;
(c) furnish
such number of prospectuses and other documents incident thereto, including
any
amendment of or supplement to the prospectus, as a Holder from time to time
may
reasonably request;
(d) notify
each seller of Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement
at
any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under
the Act of the occurrence of any event as a result of which 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 or
incomplete in the light of the circumstances then existing, and at the request
of any such seller, prepare and furnish to such seller a reasonable number
of
copies of a supplement to or an amendment of such prospectus as may be necessary
so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such shares, 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 or incomplete in the light of the
circumstances then existing;
(e) use
its
best efforts to cause all such Registrable Securities registered pursuant
hereunder to be listed on each securities exchange or market on which similar
securities issued by the Company are then listed;
(f) provide
a
transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable Securities registered pursuant
to such registration statement and a CUSIP number for all such Registrable
Securities, in each case not later than the effective date of such
registration;
(g) otherwise
use its best efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of
the
SEC, and make available to its security holders, as soon as reasonably
practicable, an earnings statement covering the period of at least twelve (12)
months, but not more than eighteen (18) months, beginning with the first month
after the effective date of the Registration Statement, which earnings statement
shall conform materially with the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Act;
and
(h) furnish,
at the request of a majority of the Holders participating in the registration,
on the date that such Registrable Securities are delivered to the underwriters
for sale, if such securities are being sold through underwriters, or, if such
securities are not being sold through underwriters, on the date that the
registration statement with respect to such securities becomes effective (i)
an
opinion, dated as of such date, of the counsel representing the Company for
the
purposes of such registration, in form and substance as is customarily given
to
the underwriters in an underwritten public offering and reasonably satisfactory
to a majority in interest of the Holders requesting registration, addressed
to
the underwriters, if any, and to the Holders requesting registration of
Registrable Securities and (ii) a letter dated as of such date from the
independent certified public accountants of the Company, in form and substance
as is customarily given by independent certified public accountants to
underwriters in an underwritten public offering and reasonably satisfactory
to a
majority in interest of the Holders requesting registration, addressed to the
underwriters, if any, and if permitted by applicable accounting standards,
to
the Holders requesting registration of Registrable Securities.
21
8.5 Indemnification.
(a) The
Company will indemnify each Holder, each of such Holder’s officers, directors,
managers, members, partners, legal counsel, and accountants and each person
controlling such Holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act with respect
to which registration, qualification, or compliance has been effected pursuant
to this Section, and each underwriter, if any, and each person who controls
within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act any underwriter, against all
expenses, claims, losses, damages, and liabilities (or actions, proceedings
or
settlements in respect thereof) arising out of or based on any breach of this
Agreement by the Company, any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement)
of
a material fact contained in any prospectus, offering circular or other document
(including any related registration statement, notification, or the like)
incident to any such registration, qualification, or compliance, or based on
any
omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to
be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading,
or
any violation by the Company of the Act or any rule or regulation thereunder
applicable to the Company and relating to action or inaction required of the
Company in connection with any such registration, qualification, or compliance,
and will reimburse each such Holder, each of its officers, directors, partners,
legal counsel, and accountants and each person controlling such Holder, each
such underwriter, and each person who controls any such underwriter, for any
legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with
investigating and defending or settling any such claim, loss, damage, liability,
or action, provided that the Company will not be liable in any such case to
the
extent that any such claim, loss, damage, liability, or expense arises out
of or
is based on any untrue statement or omission based upon written information
furnished to the Company by such Holder or underwriter and stated to be
specifically for use therein, unless such Holder timely provided to the Company
additional information to correct the previously inaccurate or incomplete
information. It is agreed that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section
shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage,
liability, or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of
the
Company (which consent has not been unreasonably withheld).
(b) Each
Holder will, if Registrable Securities held by such Holder are included in
the
securities as to which such registration, qualification, or compliance is being
effected, indemnify the Company, each of its directors, officers, partners,
legal counsel, and accountants and each underwriter, if any, of the Company’s
securities covered by such a registration statement, each person who controls
the Company or such underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act,
each other such Holder and Other Stockholder, and each of their officers,
directors, managers, members, partners, and each person controlling such Holder
or Other Stockholder, against all expenses, claims, losses, damages and
liabilities (or actions, proceedings or settlements in respect thereof) arising
out of or based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a
material fact contained in any such registration statement, prospectus, offering
circular or other document, (including any related registration statement,
notification, or the like) incident to any such registration, qualification,
or
compliance, or based on any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein
a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading, and will reimburse the Company and such Holders, Other
Stockholders, directors, officers, managers, members, partners, legal counsel,
and accountants, persons, underwriters, or control persons for any legal or
any
other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating and
defending or settling any such claim, loss, damage, liability, or action, in
each case to the extent but only to the extent that such untrue statement (or
alleged untrue statement) or omission (or alleged omission) is made in such
registration statement, prospectus, offering circular, or other document in
reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the
Company by such Holder; provided, however, that the obligations of such Holder
hereunder shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such claims,
losses, damages, or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) if such
settlement is effected without the consent of such Holder (which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld); and provided that in no event shall any indemnity
under this Section exceed the gross proceeds from the offering received by
such
Holder.
22
(c) Each
party entitled to indemnification under this Section (the “Indemnified Party”)
shall give notice to the party required to provide indemnification (the
“Indemnifying Party”) promptly after such Indemnified Party has actual knowledge
of any claim as to which indemnity may be sought, and shall permit the
Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of such claim or any litigation
resulting therefrom, provided that counsel for the Indemnifying Party, who
shall
conduct the defense of such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom, shall
be approved by the Indemnified Party (whose approval shall not unreasonably
be
withheld), and the Indemnified Party may participate in such defense at such
party’s expense, and provided further that the failure of any Indemnified Party
to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party
of
its obligations under this Section, to the extent such failure is not
prejudicial. No Indemnifying Party, in the defense of any such claim or
litigation, shall, except with the consent of each Indemnified Party, consent
to
entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that does not include as
an
unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such
Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim
or
litigation. Each Indemnified Party shall furnish such information regarding
itself or the claim in question as an Indemnifying Party may reasonably request
in writing and as shall be reasonably required in connection with the defense
of
such claim and litigation resulting therefrom.
(d) If
the
indemnification provided for in this Section is held by a court of competent
jurisdiction to be unavailable to an Indemnified Party with respect to any
loss,
liability, claim, damage, or expense referred to therein, then the Indemnifying
Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party hereunder, shall
contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result
of such loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party on the
one
hand and of the Indemnified Party on the other in connection with the statements
or omissions that resulted in such loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense
as
well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of
the
Indemnifying Party and of the Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference
to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information
supplied by the Indemnifying Party or by the Indemnified Party and the parties’
relative intent, knowledge, access to information, and opportunity to correct
or
prevent such statement or omission.
23
(e) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, to the extent that the provisions on indemnification and
contribution contained in the underwriting agreement entered into in connection
with the underwritten public offering are in conflict with the foregoing
provisions, the provisions in the underwriting agreement shall
control.
8.6 Information
by Holder.
Each
Holder of Registrable Securities shall furnish to the Company such information
regarding such Holder and the distribution proposed by such Holder as the
Company may reasonably request in writing and as shall be reasonably required
in
connection with any registration, qualification, or compliance referred to
in
this Section.
8.7 Transfer
or Assignment of Registration Rights.
The
rights to cause the Company to register securities granted to a Holder by the
Company under this Section may be transferred or assigned by a Holder only
to a
transferee or assignee of not less than fifty percent (50%) of such Holder’s
Registrable Securities (as presently constituted and subject to subsequent
adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends, reverse stock splits, and the
like), provided that, in either case (i) the Company is given written notice
at
the time of or within thirty (30) days after transfer or assignment, stating
the
name and address of the transferee or assignee and identifying the securities
with respect to which such registration rights are being transferred or
assigned, (ii) the transferee or assignee of such rights assumes in writing
the
obligations of such Holder under this Agreement, and (iii) the proposed
transferee is not, in the Company’s reasonable opinion, a competitor of the
Company or a party who is hostile towards the Company. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the transfer of registration rights to a partner, manager,
stockholder, affiliate or member of a Holder shall be without
restriction.
8.8 Allocation
of Registration Opportunities.
In any
circumstance in which all of the Registrable Securities and other shares of
Common Stock of the Company (including shares of Common Stock issued or issuable
upon conversion of shares of any currently unissued series of Preferred Stock
of
the Company) with registration rights (the “Other Shares”) requested to be
included in a registration on behalf of the Holders or other selling
stockholders cannot be so included as a result of limitations of the aggregate
number of shares of Registrable Securities and Other Shares that may be so
included, the number of shares of Registrable Securities and Other Shares that
may be so included shall be allocated first to the Holders, and then among
the
other selling stockholders requesting inclusion of shares, in each case pro
rata
on the basis of the number of shares of Registrable Securities and Other Shares
that would be held by such Holders and other selling stockholders, assuming
conversion; provided, however, that if any Holder or other selling stockholder
does not request inclusion of the maximum number of shares of Registrable
Securities and Other Shares allocated to him pursuant to the above-described
procedure, and the remaining portion of his allocation shall be reallocated
among those requesting Holders and other selling stockholders whose allocations
did not satisfy their requests pro rata on the basis of the number of shares
of
Registrable Securities and Other Shares which would be held by such Holders
and
other selling stockholders, assuming conversion, and this procedure shall be
repeated until all of the shares of Registrable Securities and Other Shares
which may be included in the registration on behalf of the Holders and other
selling stockholders have been so allocated. The Company shall not limit the
number of Registrable Securities to be included in a registration pursuant
to
this Agreement in order to include shares held by stockholders with no
registration rights or any other shares of stock issued to employees or
consultants pursuant to a Company Stock Option Plan, in order to include in
such
registration securities registered for the Company’s own account.
24
8.9 Termination
of Registration Rights.
The
registration rights pursuant to this Section shall terminate as to any Holder
when all of a Holder’s Registrable Securities may be sold during a single three
month period under Rule 144.
