REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT, dated as of August 25, 1998, by and among
PCA INTERNATIONAL, INC., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and each of the
other parties signatory hereto who own Common Stock of the Company and are
parties to that certain Stockholders Agreement, dated as of the date hereof,
among the Company and certain of the holders of the Common Stock of the Company
(the "Stockholders Agreement"). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise
defined shall have the meanings given them in Section 10.
The parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Demand Registrations.
(a) Request. Jupiter shall have the right from time to time to make up
to six written requests that the Company, subject to the provisions of Sections
1(e) and (f), effect the registration under the 1933 Act of all or any part of
its Registrable Securities. Registrations requested pursuant to this Section
1(a) are referred to herein as "Demand Registrations." Each request for a Demand
Registration shall specify the number of Registrable Securities requested to be
registered. Within 10 days after receipt of any such request, the Company shall
give written notice of the Demand Registration to all other holders of
Registrable Securities (such holders, together with Jupiter, are referred to in
this Section 1 as the "Selling Holders") and shall, subject to Section 1(e),
include in such registration all Registrable Securities with respect to which
the Company has received written requests for inclusion therein within 15 days
after the giving of the Company's notice; provided, that the Company shall not
be required to include in such registration any Registrable Securities held by a
Management Stockholder or any of his Permitted Transferees in excess of the
Proportional Amount (as
2
defined below). The term "Proportional Amount," as of any date, shall mean an
aggregate number of shares of Common Stock equal to the product of (i) (A) prior
to the 50% Disposition Date, one-half of, and (B) after the 50% Disposition
Date, 100% of, the total number of shares of Registrable Securities held by such
Management Stockholder and his Permitted Transferees as of the date hereof (or,
if such Management Stockholder and his Permitted Transferees as a group have
acquired additional Registrable Securities after the date hereof in a manner
that was not in violation of the Stockholders Agreement, such greater number)
multiplied by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the aggregate
number of shares of Registrable Securities requested to be included in such
registration by Jupiter and the denominator of which shall be the total number
of shares of Registrable Securities held by Jupiter as of the date hereof (or,
if Jupiter has acquired additional Registrable Securities after the date hereof
in a manner that was not in violation of the Stockholders Agreement, such
greater number). For purposes of the foregoing definition, there shall be
included in the number of shares of Registrable Securities all shares of Common
Stock, including shares issued pursuant to options that, as of the date of
determination, are capable of being exercised in accordance with the terms of
the Option Plan or the related option agreement and are "in-the-money," but,
until the fifth anniversary of the date hereof, shall not include any Management
Roll-over Options that are subject to a Call Option pursuant to Section 3.1.3 of
the Stockholders Agreement.
(b) Registration Statement Form. Registrations under this Section 1
shall be on such appropriate registration form of the Commission as shall be
reasonably selected by the Company.
3
(c) Effective Registration Statement. A registration requested
pursuant to this Section 1 shall not be deemed to have been effected (i) unless
a registration statement with respect thereto has become effective and remained
effective in compliance with the provisions of the 1933 Act with respect to the
disposition of all Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement
until such time as all of such Registrable Securities have been disposed of in
accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the Selling Holders set
forth in such registration statement (unless the failure to so dispose of such
Registrable Securities shall be caused solely by reason of a failure on the part
of the Selling Holders); provided that such period need not exceed 180 days, or
(ii) if after it has become effective, such registration is interfered with by
any stop order, injunction or other order or requirement of the Commission or
other governmental agency or court for any reason not primarily attributable to
the Selling Holders and has not thereafter again become effective.
(d) Selection of Underwriters. If the Company or Jupiter desires to
engage an underwriter or underwriters with respect to an offering of the
Registrable Securities so to be registered, such underwriter shall be selected
by Jupiter and shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company.
(e) Priority in Demand Registration. If the managing underwriter of
any underwritten offering shall advise the Company (and the Company shall so
advise each Selling Holder of such advice) that, in its opinion, the securities
requested to be included in such registration exceeds the number which can
successfully be sold in such offering within a price range acceptable to
Jupiter, then the Company will include in such registration, to the extent of
the Registrable Securities which the
4
Company is so advised can be sold in such offering, first, all securities
proposed to be registered by Jupiter and, second, to the extent additional
shares of Common Stock may be included in such offering, all other shares
proposed to be registered, pro rata among the other Selling Holders of
Registrable Securities participating in such registration (relative to the
number of Registrable Securities originally requested to be registered by such
Selling Holders) (subject, in the case of any Management Stockholder or his
Permitted Transferees, to the Proportional Amount limitation); provided that if
the number of Registrable Securities that such managing underwriter advises can
be sold in such offering is less than 75% of all the Registrable Securities that
Jupiter had requested be included, Jupiter may withdraw its written request made
pursuant to Section 1(a) (Demand Registration) and such written request will not
be considered a request for registration for the purposes of Section 1(a).
(f) Limitations on Demand Registrations. Notwithstanding anything in
this Section 1 to the contrary, (i) in no event will the Company be required to
effect more than six registrations pursuant to this Section 1 upon the request
of Jupiter and (ii) the Company shall not be required to effect more than one
Demand Registration in any six-month period or within 90 days after a previous
offering of the Common Stock registered under the 1933 Act.
(g) Company Delay. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
if, after Jupiter has given a written request under Section 1(a) (Demand
Registration), and prior to the effective date of the registration statement
filed in connection with such registration, the Board of Directors of the
Company shall determine in its good faith judgment that the filing of such
registration statement would be
5
undesirable and would interfere with any material financing, investment,
acquisition or merger transaction then under consideration or would reasonably
in the judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company adversely affect the
interests of the Company and its stockholders, the Company may decide to delay
the registration of such Registrable Securities, and if the Board of Directors
of the Company makes such determination, the Company shall give written notice
of such determination to each Selling Holder. Such delay shall be for the period
the Company determines on the basis provided above in good faith is necessary or
desirable, but in no event greater than six months. The Company shall notify
Jupiter of the expiration of the period of delay. Following such delay, the
Company shall promptly cause the Registrable Securities to be registered unless,
within 15 days of receipt of notice from the Company, Jupiter withdraws its
written request made pursuant to Section 1 (Demand Registration), in which case,
such written request will not be considered a request for registration for the
purposes of Section 1 (Demand Registration) or 2 (Piggy-back Registration).
(h) Expenses. The Company will pay all Registration Expenses
(excluding any underwriting discounts or commissions with respect to the
Registrable Securities) in connection with any registration requested pursuant
to this Section 1.
2. Piggy-back Registration.
(a) Right to Include Registrable Securities. If the Company proposes
to register any of its Common Stock under the 1933 Act by registration on any
form other than Forms S-4 or S-8 (or any successor form) for sale for its own
account, it will each such time give prompt written notice to all holders of
Registrable Securities of
6
its intention to do so and of such holders' rights under this Section 2 prior to
the proposed registration. Upon the written request of any such holder (a
"Requesting Holder") made as promptly as practicable and in any event within 15
days after the receipt of any such notice (which request shall specify the
Registrable Securities intended to be disposed of by such Requesting Holder),
the Company will file a registration statement with respect to, and use all
reasonable efforts to make effective at the earliest possible date, the
registration under the 1933 Act, subject to Section 2(b), of all Registrable
Securities which the Company has been so requested to register (provided that
the Company shall not be required to include in such registration any
Registrable Securities held by any Management Stockholder or his Permitted
Transferees in excess of the Proportional Amount) by the Requesting Holders
thereof (each, a "Piggy-back Registration"); provided, however, that 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
register or to delay registration of such securities, the Company may, at its
election, give written notice of such determination to each Requesting Holder of
Registrable Securities and (i) in the case of a determination not to register,
shall be relieved of its obligation to register any Registrable Securities in
connection with such registration (but not from any obligation of the Company to
pay the Registration Expenses in connection therewith), without prejudice,
however, to the rights of any holder or holders of Registrable Securities
entitled to cause such registration to be effected as a registration under
Section 1 (Demand Registration), and (ii) in the case of a determination to
delay registering, shall be permitted to delay registering any Registrable
Securities for the same
7
period as the delay in registering such other securities. No registration
effected under this Section 2 shall relieve the Company of its obligation to
effect any Demand Registration under Section 1.
(b) Priority in Piggy-back Registrations. If the managing underwriter
of any underwritten offering shall inform the Company that the Registrable
Securities requested to be included in such registration exceeds the number
which can successfully be sold in such offering within a price range acceptable
to the Company, and the Company has so advised the Requesting Holders in
writing, then the Company will include in such registration, to the extent of
the Registrable Securities and other shares of Common Stock which the Company is
so advised can be sold in such offering, first, all securities proposed to be
registered by the Company for its own account, and second, to the extent
additional shares of Common Stock may be registered in such offering, all of the
Registrable Securities requested to be registered, pro rata (subject, in the
case of any Management Stockholder or his Permitted Transferees, to the
Proportional Amount limitation). In connection with any registration as to which
this Section 2(b) applies, the Requesting Holders shall have the right, upon
written notice to the Company within 10 days of receipt of notice from the
Company, to withdraw from such registration the Registrable Securities requested
to be registered by such Requesting Holders.
(c) Expenses. The Company will pay all Registration Expenses
(excluding any underwriting discounts or commissions with respect to the
Registrable Securities) in connection with any registration effected pursuant to
this Section 2.
8
3. Registration Procedures. If and whenever the Company is required to
use its reasonable efforts to make effective the registration of any Registrable
Securities under the 1933 Act as provided in Sections 1 (Demand Registration)
and 2 (Piggy-back Registration), the Company will, as expeditiously as possible:
(a) prepare and (within 90 days after the date a request for
registration is given to the Company but in any event as soon thereafter as
practicable) file with the Commission the requisite registration statement to
effect such registration and thereafter use all reasonable efforts to cause such
registration statement to become effective;
(b) prepare and file with the Commission 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 and
to comply with the provisions of the 1933 Act and the rules and regulations of
the Commission thereunder with respect to the disposition of all Registrable
Securities covered by such registration statement, and furnish to each seller of
Registrable Securities, prior to the filing thereof a copy of any amendment or
supplement to such registration statement or prospectus;
(c) furnish to each seller of Registrable Securities covered by such
registration statement, such number of conformed copies of such registration
statement and of each such amendment and supplement thereto (in each case
including all exhibits), such number of copies of the prospectus contained in
such registration statement (including each preliminary prospectus and any
summary prospectus) and any other prospectus filed under Rule 424 under the 1933
Act, and in each case, each
9
amendment or supplement thereto, in conformity with the requirements of the 1933
Act, such documents, if any, incorporated by reference in such registration
statement or prospectus, and such other documents, as such seller may reasonably
request;
(d) use all reasonable efforts (i) to register or qualify all
Registrable Securities and other securities covered by such registration
statement under such other securities or blue sky laws of such states of the
United States of America where an exemption is not available and as the sellers
of Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement shall
reasonably request, (ii) to keep such registration or qualification in effect
for so long as such registration statement remains in effect, and (iii) to take
any other action which may be reasonably necessary or advisable to enable such
sellers to consummate the disposition in such jurisdictions of the securities to
be sold by such sellers, 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 wherein it would not but for the requirements of this Section 3(d)
be obligated to be so qualified or to consent to general service of process in
any such jurisdiction or to subject itself to taxation in such jurisdiction;
(e) use all reasonable efforts to cause all Registrable Securities
covered by such registration statement to be registered with or approved by such
other federal or state governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary
in the opinion of counsel to the Company or counsel to the seller or sellers of
Registrable Securities to enable the seller or sellers thereof to consummate the
disposition of such Registrable Securities;
10
(f) furnish at the effective date of such registration statement to
each seller of Registrable Securities and each such seller's underwriters, if
any, a signed counterpart of an opinion of counsel for the Company, addressed to
such seller and underwriters, if any, dated the effective date of such
registration statement and, if applicable, the date of the closing under the
underwriting agreement, 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 delivered to the
underwriters in underwritten public offerings of securities and such other legal
matters as the underwriters may reasonably request;
(g) promptly 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 1933 Act, upon discovery that, or upon the
happening 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 any 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 promptly prepare and, at the
request of any such seller, furnish to it 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 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;
11
(h) otherwise use all reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable
rules and regulations of the Commission, and make generally available to its
security holders, as soon as reasonably practicable, an earnings statement
covering the period of at least 12 months, but not more than 18 months,
beginning with the first full calendar month after the effective date of such
registration statement, which earnings statement shall satisfy the provisions of
Section 11(a) of the 1933 Act and Rule 158 promulgated thereunder, and promptly
furnish to each such seller of Registrable Securities a copy of any amendment or
supplement to such registration statement or prospectus;
(i) provide and cause to be maintained a transfer agent and registrar
(which, in each case, may be the Company) for all Registrable Securities covered
by such registration statement from and after a date not later than the
effective date of such registration;
(j) use all reasonable efforts to list all Registrable Securities
covered by such registration statement on any national securities exchange on
which Registrable Securities of the same class covered by such registration
statement are then listed (or, if other shares of Registrable Securities are so
qualified, qualify them for inclusion in the National Association of Securities
Dealers Automated Quotations National Market System, as the case may be);
(k) enter into such customary agreements (including an underwriting
agreement in customary form, including customary provisions concerning
indemnification of the underwriters by the Company) and take such other actions
as the
12
sellers of Registrable Securities and the underwriters, if any, reasonably
request in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable
Securities;
(l) obtain a "cold comfort" letter or letters from the Company's
independent public accountants in customary form and covering matters of the
type customarily covered by "cold comfort" letters as the underwriters may
reasonably request;
(m) notify each seller of Registrable Securities 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, (ii) of the receipt of
any comments from the Commission, (iii) of any request of the Commission to
amend the registration statement or amend or supplement the prospectus or for
additional information, and (iv) of the issuance by the Commission 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 Registrable Securities for sale in any
jurisdiction, or of the institution or threatening of any proceedings for any
such purposes;
(n) use all reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order
suspending the effectiveness of the registration statement at the earliest
possible time;
(o) cooperate with the sellers of Registrable Securities and the
managing underwriter or agent, if any, to facilitate the timely preparation and
delivery of
13
certificates (not bearing any restrictive legends) representing Registrable
Securities to be sold, and enable such Registrable Securities to be in such
denominations and registered in such names as such sellers or the managing
underwriter or agent, if any, may reasonably request;
(p) cause its subsidiaries and affiliates to take all action necessary
or advisable to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities
contemplated hereby, including preparing and filing any required financial
information;
(q) make its officers and employees available to participate in
presentations to potential purchasers of Registrable Securities; and
(r) use all reasonable efforts to take all other steps necessary or
advisable to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities contemplated
hereby.
The Company may require each seller of Registrable Securities as to which
any registration is being effected to furnish the Company such information
regarding such seller and the distribution of such securities as the Company may
from time to time reasonably request in writing.
Each holder of Registrable Securities agrees by acquisition of such
Registrable Securities that, upon receipt of any written notice from the Company
of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3(g) (Company
Delay), such holder will forthwith discontinue such holder's disposition of
Registrable Securities pursuant to the registration statement relating to such
Registrable Securities until such holder's receipt of the copies of the
supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 3(g) and, if so
directed by the Company, will deliver to the Company (at the Company's expense)
all copies, other than permanent file copies, then in such holder's
14
possession of the prospectus relating to such Registrable Securities current at
the time of receipt of such notice.
4. Preparation; Reasonable Investigation. In connection with the
preparation and filing of each registration statement under the 1933 Act
pursuant to this Agreement, the Company will give the holders of Registrable
Securities registered under such registration statement, the underwriters, if
any, and their respective counsel and accountants, the timely opportunity to
participate in the preparation of such registration statement, each prospectus
included therein or filed with the Commission, and each amendment thereof or
supplement thereto, and will give each of them such access to its books and
records and such opportunities to discuss the business of the Company with its
officers and the independent public accountants who have certified its financial
statements as shall be reasonably necessary or advisable, in the opinion of each
of such holders and such underwriters' respective counsel, to conduct
appropriate due diligence as contemplated by the 1933 Act.
5. Rule 144. So long as the Common Stock shall be registered pursuant to
the requirements of Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the "Exchange Act"), the Company will file the reports required to be
filed by it under the Exchange Act and will take such further action as Jupiter
or the Management Stockholders, as the case may be, may reasonably request, all
to the extent required from time to time to enable Jupiter and the Management
Stockholders to sell Registrable Securities (to the extent permitted by the
Stockholders Agreement) without registration under the 1933 Act under the
exemptions provided by Rule 144, as such rule may be amended from time to time
("Rule 144"), or any similar rule or regulation hereafter
15
adopted by the Commission. Upon the request of Jupiter or any Management
Stockholder, the Company will deliver to Jupiter or such Management Stockholder,
as the case may be, a written statement as to whether it has complied with such
requirements and, if it has not so complied, stating that it will promptly do
so.
6. Hold-Back. Each of the Company and each Stockholder holding
Registrable Securities, whether or not included in a registration statement
hereunder, agrees not to effect any public sale or distribution of shares of
Common Stock during the period specified by the managing underwriter or
underwriters of the underwritten offer being made pursuant to such registration
statement (which period shall not exceed seven days prior to and 180 days
following the effective date of such registration statement), except as part of
such registration, if and to the extent reasonably requested by such managing
underwriter or underwriters.
7. Indemnification.
(a) The Company agrees to indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted
by law, each holder of Registrable Securities, its partners, officers and
directors, agents and each person who controls such holder (within the meaning
of the 0000 Xxx) against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses
resulting from any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact
contained in any registration statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus or
any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission
of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading, except insofar as the same are caused by or
contained in any information furnished in writing to the Company by such holder
expressly for use therein or by such holder's failure to deliver a copy of the
16
prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto after the Company has
furnished such holder with a sufficient number of copies of the same. In
connection with an underwritten offering, the Company shall indemnify such
underwriters, their officers and directors and each person who controls such
underwriters (within the meaning of the 0000 Xxx) to the same extent as provided
above with respect to the indemnification of the holders of Registrable
Securities.
(b) In connection with any registration statement in which a holder of
Registrable Securities is participating, each such holder shall furnish to the
Company in writing such information and affidavits as the Company reasonably
requests for use in connection with any such registration statement or
prospectus and, to the extent permitted by law, shall indemnify the Company, its
directors, officers and agents and each person who controls the Company (within
the meaning of the 0000 Xxx) against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities
and expenses resulting from any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material
fact contained in the registration statement, prospectus or preliminary
prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or
alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary
to make the statements therein not misleading, but only to the extent that such
untrue statement or omission is contained in any information or affidavit so
furnished in writing by such holder; provided, that the obligation to indemnify
shall be individual to each holder and shall be limited to the net amount of
proceeds received by such holder from the sale of Registrable Securities
pursuant to such registration statement.
(c) Any person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall (i) give
prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to
17
which it seeks indemnification (provided that the failure to give prompt notice
shall not impair any person's right to indemnification hereunder to the extent
such failure has not prejudiced the indemnifying party) and (ii) unless in such
indemnified party's reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such
indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim,
permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel
reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed,
the indemnifying party shall not be subject to any liability for any settlement
made by the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld). An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects
not to, assume the defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and
expenses of more than one counsel (and such local counsel as may be necessary)
for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such
claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a conflict of
interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such
indemnified parties with respect to such claim.
(d) The indemnification provided for under this Agreement shall remain
in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of
the indemnified party or any partner, officer, director or controlling person of
such indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of securities. The Company
also agrees to make such provisions, as are reasonably requested by any
indemnified party, for contribution to such party in the event the Company's
indemnification is unavailable for any reason.
8. Participation in Underwritten Registrations. Notwithstanding the
provisions of Sections 1 (Demand Registration) and 2 (Piggy-back Registration),
no
18
person may participate in any registration hereunder which is underwritten
unless such person (i) agrees to sell such person's securities on the basis
provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the person or persons
entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements and (ii) completes and executes
all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and
other documents required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements;
provided that no holder of Registrable Securities included in any underwritten
registration shall be required to make any representations or warranties to the
Company or the underwriters other than representations and warranties regarding
such holder and such holder's intended method of distribution.
9. Registration Rights to Others. If the Company shall at any time after
the date hereof provide to any holder of any securities of the Company rights
with respect to the registration of such securities under the 1933 Act, such
rights shall not be in conflict with the rights provided to the holders of
Registrable Securities in this Agreement.
