REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT
AGREEMENT dated as of the 6th
day of August, 2008 between the person whose name appears below (the “Investor”), and
Material Technologies, Inc., a Delaware Corporation, having its principal
executive office at 00000 Xxx Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxx Xxxxxxx, XX
00000 (the “Company”).
WHEREAS, the Company has
issued and sold to the Investor Secured Convertible Debentures and will issue
shares of its Common Stock, as well as additional shares of the Company, upon
conversion of the Debentures of the Company for an aggregate face amount of $1.0
million (U.S.). The Debentures and the Shares, issuable upon exercise
thereof, are sometimes referred to herein as the “Securities”.
WHEREAS, the Company desires
to grant to the Investor the registration rights set forth herein with respect
to the shares of Common Stock and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon
exercise of the Debentures issued to Investor;
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties
hereto mutually agree as follows:
1.
Registrable
Securities. As used herein the term “Registrable Security”
means the Secured Convertible Debenture and shares of Common Stock issued or
issuable with respect to the Securities, including all shares issued by the
Company on a one (1) for one (1) basis, or issued or issuable by virtue of any
stock split, combination, stock dividend, merger, consolidation or other similar
event; provided, however, that with
respect to any particular Registrable Security, such security shall cease to be
a Registrable Security when, as of the date of determination, (i) it has been
effectively registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and
disposed of pursuant thereto, or (ii) registration under the Securities Act is
no longer required by the Investor for the distribution or disposition of all of
the Registrable Securities beneficially owned by such Investor. The
term “Registrable
Securities” means any and/or all of the securities falling within the
foregoing definition of a “Registrable Security.”
2.
Registration. The Company
agrees to use its best efforts to file a registration statement (a “Registration
Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) within
forty-five (45) days of the closing date hereof in order to register the resale
of the Registrable Securities under the Securities Act. Once
effective, the Company will be required to maintain the effectiveness of the
Registration Statement until the earlier of (i) the date that all of the
Registrable Securities have been sold, or (ii) the date that the Company
receives an opinion of counsel to the Investor that all of the Registrable
Securities may be freely distributed, sold or otherwise disposed of without
registration under the Securities Act pursuant to Rule 144(k) (or any
similar provision then in force) promulgated under the Securities
Act.
3.
Covenants of the Company With Respect to Registration.
The
Company covenants and agrees as follows:
(a) In
connection with any registration filed pursuant hereto, the Company shall use
its best efforts to cause the Registration Statement to become effective as
promptly as possible. Following the effective date of a Registration
Statement, the Company shall, upon the request of the Investor, forthwith supply
such reasonable number of copies of the Registration Statement (including,
without limitation, the exhibits and schedules thereto), preliminary prospectus
and prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act (including,
without limitation, any and all amendments or supplements thereto), and other
documents necessary or incidental to the public offering of the Registrable
Securities, as shall be reasonably requested by the Investor to permit the
Investor to sell, distribute or otherwise dispose of the Investor’s Registrable
Securities. The obligations of the Company hereunder with respect to
the Investor’s beneficially owned Registrable Securities are subject to the
Investor’s furnishing to the Company such appropriate information concerning the
Investor, the Investor’s Registrable Securities and the terms of the Investor’s
offering of such Registrable Securities as the Company may reasonably request in
writing.
(b) The
Company shall provide the Investor, any underwriter participating in any
disposition pursuant to a Registration Statement, and any attorney, accountant
or other agent retained by the Investor or underwriter (each, an “Inspector” and,
collectively, the “Inspectors”), the
opportunity to review and comment (including reviewing and commenting on
relevant documents and agreements) in the preparation of such Registration
Statement, each prospectus included therein or filed with the Commission and
each amendment or supplement thereto.
(c) For
a reasonable period prior to the filing of any Registration Statement pursuant
to this Agreement, the Company shall make available for inspection at the
Company’s offices and copying by the Inspectors such financial and other
information and books and records, pertinent corporate documents and properties
of the Company and its subsidiaries, and cause the officers, directors,
employees, counsel and independent certified public accountants of the Company
and its subsidiaries to respond to such inquiries, and to supply all such
information reasonably requested by any such Inspector in connection with such
Registration Statement, as shall be reasonably necessary, in the judgment of the
respective counsel of the Investor and any such underwriter, to conduct a
reasonable investigation within the meaning of the Securities Act.
(d) The
Company shall promptly notify in writing the Investor, the sales or placement
agent, if any, therefor and the managing underwriter of the securities being
sold, (i) when such Registration Statement or the prospectus included
therein or any prospectus amendment or supplement or post-effective amendment
has been filed, and, with respect to any such Registration Statement or any
post-effective amendment, when the same has become effective, (ii) when the
Commission notifies the Company whether there will be a “review” of such
Registration Statement, (iii) of any comments (oral or written) by the
Commission and by the blue sky or securities commissioner or regulator of any
state with respect thereto or (iv) of any request by the Commission for any
amendments or supplements to such Registration Statement or the prospectus or
for additional information.
(e) The
Company shall promptly notify in writing the Investor, the sales or placement
agent, if any, therefor and the managing underwriter of the securities being
sold pursuant to any Registration Statement at any time when a prospectus
relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act upon
discovery that, or upon the happening of any event as a result of which, any
prospectus included in such Registration Statement (or amendment or supplement
thereto) contains 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 light of the circumstances under which they were made,
and the Company shall promptly prepare a supplement or amendment to such
prospectus and file it with the Commission promptly following notice of the
occurrence of such event to the Investor, the sales or placement agent and the
managing underwriter so that after delivery of such prospectus, as so amended or
supplemented, to the purchasers of such Registrable Securities, such prospectus,
as so amended or supplemented, shall not contain an untrue statement of a
material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein
or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the
circumstances under which they were made.
(f) The
Company shall promptly notify in writing the Investor, the sales or placement
agent, if any, therefor and the managing underwriter of the securities being
sold of the issuance by the Commission of (i) any stop order issued or
threatened to be issued by the Commission or (ii) any notification with
respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification
of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction or the
initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose and the Company
agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to (x) prevent the issuance of
any such stop order, and in the event of such issuance, to obtain the withdrawal
of any such stop order and (y) obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending or
preventing the use of any related prospectus or suspending the qualification of
any Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement for sale in
any jurisdiction at the earliest practicable date.
(g) The
Company shall prepare and file with the Commission such amendments, including
post-effective amendments to each Registration Statement as may be necessary to
keep such Registration Statement continuously effective for the applicable time
period required hereunder and, if applicable, file any Registration Statements
pursuant to Rule 462(b) (or any similar provision then in force) under the
Securities Act; cause the related prospectus to be supplemented by any required
prospectus supplement, and as so supplemented to be filed pursuant to Rule 424
(or any similar provisions then in force) promulgated under the Securities Act;
and comply with the provisions of the Securities Act and the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), 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 sellers thereof set forth in such Registration Statement as
so amended or in such prospectus as so supplemented. If the Investor
so requests, the Company shall request acceleration of effectiveness of the
Registration Statement from the Commission and any post-effective amendments
thereto, if any are filed. If the Company wishes to further amend the
Registration Statement prior to requesting acceleration, it shall have five (5)
days to so amend prior to requesting acceleration.
(h) The
Company shall pay all costs, fees and expenses in connection with all
Registration Statements, pre-effective and post-effective amendments thereto,
including preliminary and final prospectuses contained therein and any
amendments and supplements thereto filed and
maintained
pursuant to Sections 2 and 3 hereof including, without limitation, the Company’s
legal and accounting fees, printing expenses, and blue sky fees and expenses;
provided, however, that the Investor shall be solely responsible for the fees of
any counsel retained by the Investor in connection with such registration and
any transfer taxes or underwriting discounts, commissions or fees applicable to
the Registrable Securities sold by the Investor pursuant thereto.
(i)
The Company will take all necessary action which may be required in qualifying
or registering the Registrable Securities included in a Registration Statement
for offering and sale under the securities or blue sky laws of such states as
are reasonably requested by the Investors of such securities; provided, that the
Company shall not be obligated to execute or file any general consent to service
of process or to qualify as a foreign corporation to do business under the laws
of any such jurisdiction.
(j)
The Company shall cooperate with the Investor to facilitate the timely
preparation and delivery of certificates representing the securities to be sold
pursuant to the Registration Statement free of any restrictive legends and in
such denominations and registered in such names as the Investor may request a
reasonable period of time prior to sales of the securities pursuant to such
Registration Statement.
(k)
The Company agrees generally to cooperate with Investors in effecting compliant
resale of the Registrable Securities, including comfort and other customary
broker agreements and documentations and certificates
4.
Additional
Terms.
(a)
To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless the
Investor, its agents, trustees and beneficiaries, partners, officers,
directors, shareholders and members of the Investor, legal counsel
and accountants for the Investor, and each person who controls the Investor
within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, against any
losses, claims, damages or liabilities (joint or several) to which they may
become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any state
securities laws, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (or
actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any of the following
statements, omissions or violations (collectively a “Violation”): (i) any
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in
such Registration Statement, including any preliminary prospectus or final
prospectus contained therein or any amendments or supplements thereto, (ii) the
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
(iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act,
the Exchange Act, any state securities laws or any rule or regulation
promulgated under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any state securities
laws; and the Company will reimburse the indemnified party under this
Section 4(a), for any reasonable legal or other expenses reasonably
incurred by it in connection with investigating or defending any such loss,
claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the
indemnity described herein shall not apply any loss, claim, damage, liability or
action to the extent that it arises out of or is based upon a Violation that
occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished
expressly for use in connection with such registration by the Investor; provided further, however, that the
foregoing indemnity agreement with respect to any preliminary
prospectus
shall not inure to the benefit of the Investor, from whom the person asserting
any such losses, claims, damages or liabilities purchased shares in the
offering, if a copy of the prospectus (as then amended or supplemented if the
Company shall have furnished any amendments or supplements thereto) was not sent
or given by or on behalf of such Investor to such person, if required by law so
to have been delivered, at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of
the shares to such person, and if the prospectus (as so amended or supplemented)
would have cured the defect giving rise to such loss, claim, damage or
liability.
(b) To
the extent permitted by law, the Investor will severally, and not jointly,
indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its
officers who has signed the registration statement, each person, if any, who
controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange
Act and legal counsel and accountants for the Company, against any losses,
claims, damages or liabilities to which any of the foregoing persons may become
subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any state securities
laws, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in
respect thereto) arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in each case to
the extent (and only to the extent) that such Violation occurs in reliance upon
and in conformity with written information specifically furnished by the
Investor expressly for use in connection with such registration which consists
solely of the information specified in Section 4(d); and the Investor will
reimburse any person intended to be indemnified pursuant to the foregoing, for
any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such person in connection
with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or
action; provided, however, that the
indemnity obligation of the Investor hereunder shall not in any event exceed the
net proceeds received by the Investor from the offering giving rise to such
liability.
(c) Promptly
after receipt by an indemnified party of notice of the commencement of any
action (including any governmental action), such indemnified party will, if a
claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party, deliver
to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof and the
indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent
the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party
similarly noticed, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably
satisfactory to each party; provided, however, that an
indemnified party (together with all other indemnified parties that may be
represented without conflict by one counsel) shall have the right to retain one
separate counsel, with the reasonable fees and expenses to be paid by the
indemnifying party, if representation of such indemnified party by the counsel
retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or
potential differing interests between such indemnified party and any other party
represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The failure to
deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the
commencement of any such action, if materially prejudicial to its ability to
defend such action, shall relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to
the indemnified party, but the omission so to deliver written notice to the
indemnifying party will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any
indemnified party otherwise than under this paragraph. After notice
from an indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election to assume
the defense thereof, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such
indemnified party pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph for any legal or
other expense subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with
the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation, unless (i) the
indemnified party shall have employed counsel in accordance with the first
sentence of this paragraph or (ii) the indemnifying party has authorized the
employment of counsel for the
indemnified
party at the expense of the indemnifying party. No indemnifying party shall be
liable for any settlement of any action, claim or proceeding effected without
its prior written consent; provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall
not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent. No
indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified
party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or other
compromise which 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. Following
indemnification as provided for hereunder, the indemnifying party shall be
subrogated to all rights of the indemnified party with respect to all third
parties, firms or corporations relating to the matter for which indemnification
has been made.
(d) The
Investor confirms, and the Company acknowledges, that the information to appear
in the table in the section entitled “Principal and Selling Shareholders” or
equivalently named section in the Registration Statement under the headings
“Name of Beneficial Owner,” “Shares Beneficially Owned Prior to Offering –
Number of Shares,” “Maximum Number of Shares Offered in this Offering,” or
equivalently named headings in the Registration Statement and in the footnote
related to such information pertaining to the Investor constitute the only
information concerning the Investor that will be furnished in writing to the
Company by or on behalf of the Investor for inclusion in the Registration
Statement.
(e)
If the indemnification provided for above 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 herein, 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. No
person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentations (within the meaning of Section
11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person
who was not guilty of such fraudulent
misrepresentation. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Section, the Investor shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess
of the amount by which the net proceeds received by such Investor from the sale
of the shares of the Common Stock and Debentures in each case, pursuant to a
Registration Statement, exceeds the amount of damages which the Investor has
otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue
statement or alleged omission. The obligation of the Investor obliged
to make contribution pursuant to this Section shall be several and not
joint.
(f)
Neither the filing of a Registration Statement by the Company
pursuant to this Agreement nor the making of any request for prospectuses by the
Investor shall impose upon the Investor any obligation to sell the Investor’s
beneficially owned Registrable Securities.
(g) The
Investor, upon receipt of notice from the Company that an event has occurred
which requires a Post-Effective Amendment to the Registration Statement or a
supplement to the prospectus included therein, shall promptly discontinue the
sale of Registrable Securities until the Investor receives a copy of a
supplemented or amended prospectus from the Company, which the Company shall
provide as soon as practicable after such notice.
(h) If
the Company fails to keep the Registration Statement referred to above
continuously effective during the requisite period, then the Company shall,
promptly upon the request of the Investor, use its best efforts to update the
Registration Statement or file a new registration statement covering the
Registrable Securities remaining unsold, subject to the terms and provisions
hereof.
(i)
The Investor agrees to provide the Company with any information or undertakings
reasonably requested by the Company in order for the Company to include any
appropriate information concerning the Issuer in the Registration Statement or
in order to promote compliance by the Company or the Issuers with the Securities
Act.
(j)
With a view to making available to the Investor the benefits of Rule 144 and
Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act and other rules and regulations
of the Commission that may at any time permit the Investor to sell securities of
the Company to the public without registration, the Company covenants that it
shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) file in a timely manner all
reports and other documents required to be filed by it under the Securities Act
and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations adopted by the Commission
thereunder and (ii) take such further action as the Investor may reasonably
request (including providing any information necessary to comply with Rule 144
and Rule 144A, if available with respect to resales of the Registrable
Securities under the Securities Act), at all times, all to the extent required
from time to time to enable the Investor to sell Registrable Securities without
registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions
provided by (x) Rule 144 and Rule 144A (if available with respect to resales of
the Registrable Securities) under the Securities Act, as such rules may be
amended from time to time, or (y) any other rules or regulations now existing or
hereafter adopted by the Commission.
(k) The
Company agrees to pay all legal fees and expenses of Company’s counsel in
connection with the review of all Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”)
filings and exhibits, and all amendments with respect to said filings, and that
Investor’s counsel will have a reasonable opportunity to review all
filings.
5.

shall be deemed to have been made and delivered in the State of New York and
shall be governed as to validity, interpretation, construction, effect and in

6.

Agreement may only be amended by a written instrument executed by the Company
and the Investor.

and assigns, any rights or remedies under or by reason of this
Agreement.

of Registration Rights. The rights of the

satisfied: (a) such transfer or assignment is effected in accordance
with applicable securities laws; (b) such transferee or assignee agrees in
writing to become subject to the terms of this Agreement; and (c) the Company is
given written notice by the Investor of such transfer or assignment, stating the
name and address of the transferee or assignee and identifying the Registrable
Securities with respect to which such rights are being transferred or
assigned.
12. Headings. The
headings contained herein are for the sole purpose of convenience of reference,
and shall not in any way limit or affect the meaning or interpretation of any of
the terms or provisions of this Agreement.
13. Severability. Any
provision of this Agreement which is held by a court of competent jurisdiction
to be prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction(s) shall be, as to such
jurisdiction(s), ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or
unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement
or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other
jurisdiction.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this
Agreement has been executed and delivered by the parties hereto as of the date

INFORMATION
TO BE PROVIDED UPON EFFECTIVE DATE OF REGISTRATION STATEMENT OF THE SHARES
UNDERLYING THE CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURE AND THE SHARES ISSUED BY THE COMPANY IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURE.
PLAN
OF DISTRIBUTION
The
Selling Stockholders and any of their pledgees, donees, transferees, assignees
and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their
shares of Common Stock on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on
which the shares are traded or in private transactions. These sales
may be at fixed or negotiated prices. The Selling Stockholders may
use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:
|
|
·
|
ordinary
brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer
solicits Investors;
|
|
|
·
|
block
trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent
but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to
facilitate the transaction;
|
|
|
·
|
purchases
by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its
account;
|
|
|
·
|
an
exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable
exchange;
|
|
|
·
|
privately
negotiated transactions;
|
|
|
·
|
to
cover short sales made after the date that this Registration Statement is
declared effective by the
Commission;
|
|
|
·
|
broker-dealers
may agree with the Selling Stockholders to sell a specified number of such
shares at a stipulated price per
share;
|
|
|
·
|
a
combination of any such methods of sale;
and
|
|
|
·
|
any
other method permitted pursuant to applicable
law.
|
The
Selling Stockholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities
Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.
Broker-dealers
engaged by the Selling Stockholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to
participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or
discounts from the Selling Stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent
for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be
negotiated. The Selling Stockholders do not expect these commissions
and discounts to exceed what is customary in the types of transactions
involved.
The
Selling Stockholders may from time to time pledge or grant a security interest
in some or all of the Shares owned by them and, if they default in the
performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may
offer and sell shares of Common Stock from time to time under this prospectus,
or under an amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other
applicable
provision
of the Securities Act of 1933 amending the list of selling stockholders to
include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling
stockholders under this prospectus.
Upon the
Company being notified in writing by a Selling Stockholder that any material
arrangement has been entered into with a broker-dealer for the sale of Common
Stock through a block trade, special offering, exchange distribution or
secondary distribution or a purchase by a broker or dealer, a supplement to this
prospectus will be filed, if required, pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the
Securities Act, disclosing (i) the name of each such Selling Stockholder and of
the participating broker-dealer(s), (ii) the number of shares involved, (iii)
the price at which such shares of Common Stock were sold, (iv) the commissions
paid or discounts or concessions allowed to such broker-dealer(s), where
applicable, (v) that such broker-dealer(s) did not conduct any investigation to
verify the information set out or incorporated by reference in this prospectus,
and (vi) other facts material to the transaction. In addition, upon
the Company being notified in writing by a Selling Stockholder that a donee or
pledge intends to sell more than 500 shares of Common Stock, a supplement to
this prospectus will be filed if then required in accordance with applicable
securities law.
The
Selling Stockholders also may transfer the shares of Common Stock in other
circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors in
interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this
prospectus.
The
Selling Stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in
selling the shares may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the
Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any
commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the
resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting
commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. Discounts,
concessions, commissions and similar selling expenses, if any, that can be
attributed to the sale of Securities will be paid by the Selling Stockholder
and/or the purchasers. Each Selling Stockholder has represented and
warranted to the Company that it acquired the securities subject to this
registration statement in the ordinary course of such Selling Stockholder’s
business and, at the time of its purchase of such securities such Selling
Stockholder had no agreements or understandings, directly or indirectly, with
any person to distribute any such securities.
If a
Selling Stockholder uses this prospectus for any sale of the Common Stock, it
will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities
Act. The Selling Stockholders will be responsible to comply with the
applicable provisions of the Securities Act and Exchange Act, and the rules and
regulations thereunder promulgated, including, without limitation, Regulation M,
as applicable to such Selling Stockholders in connection with resales of their
respective shares under this Registration Statement.
The
Company is required to pay all fees and expenses incident to the registration of
the shares, but the Company will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the
Common Stock. The Company has agreed to indemnify the Selling
Stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including
liabilities under the Securities Act. If the Selling Stockholders use
this prospectus for any sale of the Common Stock, they will be subject to the
prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.
