SECTION 2. REGISTRATION.
2.1 Piggyback Registration.
|
|
(a) Except as set forth in Section 2.1(b), as, if and when the Company proposes to register any Common Stock under the Securities Act for sale to the public, on a form that would also permit the registration of the Registrable Securities (other than registrations on Form S-8, or any successor form, or Form S-4, or any successor form) (an "Eligible Registration"), each such time it will give written notice to the holders of Registrable Securities (the "Holders") of its intention so to do. Upon the written request of a Holder received by the Company within 20 days after the giving of any such notice by the Company, to register such number of shares of Registrable Securities held by such Holder specified in such written request, the Company will cause the Registrable Securities as to which registration shall have been so requested to be included in the securities to be covered by the registration statement proposed to be filed by the Company with respect to such Eligible Registration, all to the extent requisite to permit the sale or other disposition by such Holder (in accordance with its written request) of such Registrable Securities so registered. In the event that any Eligible Registration pursuant to this Section 2.1 shall be, in whole or in part an underwritten offering of Common Stock (an "Underwritten Offering"), the number of shares of Registrable Securities to be included in such an underwriting may be reduced if and to the extent that the managing underwriter shall be of the opinion that such inclusion would materially adversely affect the marketing of the securities to be sold by the Company therein. In the event such a reduction is necessary, the reduction shall be borne first by the Holders proposing to sell Registrable Securities in the Underwritten Offering, on a pro-rata basis, based on the aggregate number of shares of Registrable Securities that each Holder proposed to offer for sale in the Underwritten Offering. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, the Company may for any reason and without the consent of the Holders in good faith withdraw any registration statement referred to in this Section 2.1 without thereby incurring any liability to the Holders. |
|
|
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Eligible Registration may occur only during the one year period following the issuance of the Shares to the Purchasers. No Eligible Registration shall occur except at the times allowed pursuant to this Section 2.1(b). |
2.2 Registration Statement Form. Registrations pursuant to Section 2.1 shall be on such appropriate registration form of the SEC as shall be selected by the Company.
2.3 Expenses. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 2.3, all expenses incurred in connection with each registration pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof (excluding in each case underwriting discounts and commissions applicable to Registrable Securities), including, without limitation, in each case, all registration, filing and other fees of the securities exchange; all fees and expenses of complying with securities or blue sky laws; all word processing, duplicating and printing expenses, messenger, delivery and shipping expenses; fees and disbursements of the accountants and counsel for the Company including the expenses of any special audits or "cold comfort" letters or opinions required by or incident to such registrations; and any fees and disbursements of underwriters customarily paid by issuers or sellers of securities, but excluding underwriting discounts and commissions, if any, shall be borne by the Company. In all cases, the Holders shall pay the underwriting discounts and commissions applicable to the securities sold by the Holders.
2.4 Effective Registration Statement. Registrations pursuant to this Section 2 shall not be deemed to have been effected (i) unless a registration statement with respect thereto has become effective (unless a substantial cause of the failure of such registration statement to become effective shall be attributable to the Holders), (ii) if after it has become effective, such registration is interfered with by any stop order, injunction or other order or requirement of the SEC or other governmental agency or court for any reason, resulting in a failure to consummate the offering of Registrable Securities offered thereby, (iii) if after a registration statement with respect thereto has become effective, the offering of Registrable Securities offered thereby is not consummated due to factors beyond the control of the Purchasers, other than the fact that the underwriters have advised the Holders that the Registrable Securities cannot be sold at a net price equal to or above the net price anticipated at the time of filing of the preliminary prospectus, or (iv) if the conditions to closing specified in the underwriting agreement entered into in connection with such registration are not satisfied (unless a substantial cause of such conditions to closing not being satisfied shall be attributable to the Holders).
2.5 Selection of Underwriters. If a registration pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof involves an underwritten offering, the underwriter or underwriters thereof shall be selected by the Company in its sole discretion.
SECTION 3. REGISTRATION PROCEDURES.
3.1 Procedures. The Company will, subject to the limitations provided herein, as expeditiously as possible:
|
|
(a) prepare and file with the SEC the requisite registration statement to effect such registration, and thereafter, use reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective; provided that before filing a registration statement or prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto, including documents incorporated by reference, the Company will furnish to counsel to the Holders of the Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement and the managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, draft copies of all such documents proposed to be filed (other than exhibits, unless so requested) a reasonable time prior thereto, which documents will be subject to the reasonable review of such counsel and such Holders and underwriters, and will notify each Holder of the Registrable Securities of any stop order issued by the SEC in connection therewith and take all reasonable actions required to remove such stop order; |
|
|
(b) prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such registration statement effective and to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement until such time as all of such securities have been disposed of in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the seller or sellers thereof set forth in such registration statement; provided, however, that the Company shall not in any event be required to keep a registration statement filed pursuant to Section 2.1 effective for a period of more than nine months after such registration statement becomes effective; and provided further that the Company may, at any time, delay the filing or suspend the effectiveness of any registration under this Agreement, or without suspending such effectiveness, instruct the Purchasers not to sell any Registrable Securities included in any such registration, (i) if the Company shall have determined upon the advice of counsel that the Company would be required to disclose any actions taken or proposed to be taken by the Company in good faith and for valid business reasons, including without limitation, the acquisition or divestiture of assets, which disclosure would have a material adverse effect on the Company or on such actions, or (ii) if required by law, to update the prospectus relating to any such registration to include updated financial statements (a "Suspension Period") by providing the Purchasers with written notice of such Suspension Period and the reasons therefor; provided, however, that the Company will not be required to disclose such reasons with particularity if an authorized executive officer of the Company certifies that the Company believes it is required by law to delay the filing or suspend the effectiveness of any such registration. In addition, the Company shall not be required to keep any registration effective, or may without suspending such effectiveness, instruct the Purchasers if it has Registrable Securities included in such registration not to sell such securities, during any period which the Company is instructed, directed, ordered or otherwise requested by any governmental agency or self-regulatory organization to stop or suspend such trading or sales ("Supplemental Extension Period"). In the event of a Suspension Period or Supplemental Extension Period, the period during which any registration under this Agreement is to remain effective pursuant to this Section 3.1(b) shall be tolled until the end of any such Suspension Period or Supplemental Extension Period. The Company will use reasonable efforts to restrict any Suspension Period or Supplemental Extension Period to less than 60 days; |
|
|
(c) furnish to the Purchasers 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 Securities Act, and such other documents, as the Purchasers may reasonably request; |
|
|
(d) use its reasonable efforts 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 jurisdictions as each seller thereof shall reasonably request and to keep such registration or qualification in effect for so long as such registration statement remains in effect, and take any other action which may be reasonably necessary or advisable to enable such seller to consummate the disposition in such jurisdictions of the securities owned by such seller, 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 3.1(d) be obligated to be so qualified or to consent to general service of process in any such jurisdiction. |
|
|
(e) use its reasonable efforts to cause all Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement to be registered with or approved by such other United States Federal or state governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary to enable the Purchasers to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities; |
|
|
(f) notify in writing the Purchasers, if Registrable Securities are covered by such 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 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 at the request of the Purchasers prepare and furnish to the Purchasers 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. |
|
|
(g) otherwise use reasonable 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 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 Securities Act; |
|
|
(h) provide and cause to be maintained a transfer agent for all Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement from and after a date not later than the effective date of such registration statement; and |
|
|
(i) use its reasonable efforts to list all Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement on any securities exchange on which any of the Company's Common Stock is then listed. |
3.2 Information Requirements. It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to take any action with respect to registering the Purchasers' Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 3 that the Purchasers furnish the Company in writing such information regarding the Purchasers, the Registrable Securities and other securities of the Company held by the Purchasers, and the distribution of such securities as the Company may from time to time reasonably request in writing. If a Purchaser refuses to provide the Company with any of such information on the grounds that it is not necessary to include such information in the registration statement, the Company may exclude the Purchaser's Registrable Securities from the registration statement unless such Purchaser provides the Company with an opinion of counsel, which opinion and counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company and its counsel, to the effect that such information need not be included in the registration statement.
The Purchasers agree by acquisition of such Registrable Securities that upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3.1(f), the Purchasers will forthwith discontinue the Purchasers' disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the registration statement relating to such Registrable Securities until the Purchasers' receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 3.1(f) and, if so directed by the Company, will deliver to the Company copies, other than permanent file copies then in the Purchasers' possession, of the current prospectus relating to such Registrable Securities at the time of receipt of such notice.
SECTION 4. UNDERWRITTEN OFFERINGS.
If requested by the underwriters for any underwritten offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to a registration under Section 2 hereof, the Company will enter into an underwriting agreement with such underwriters for such offering, such agreement to be satisfactory in substance and form to the Company and the underwriters and to contain such representations and warranties by the Company and such other terms as are generally prevailing in agreements of this type, including, without limitation, indemnities to the effect and to the extent provided in Section 6 hereof. If requested by the underwriters of any underwritten offering pursuant to a registration under Section 2 hereof, the Purchasers agree to enter into an agreement with such underwriters not to sell their shares of stock in the Company for a period of time (not to exceed 180 days) after the effectiveness of a registration statement equal to the period of time which the sellers of securities in such registration have agreed not to sell their shares after the effectiveness of such registration statement. The Purchasers shall be a party to such underwriting agreement and must cooperate with the Company in the negotiation of the underwriting agreement. The Purchasers shall not be required to make any representations, warranties or agreements with the Company other than representations, warranties or agreements regarding the Purchasers, Purchasers' Registrable Securities and other securities of the Company, the Purchasers' intended method of distribution, and any representations, warranties or agreements required by law.
SECTION 5. PREPARATION; REASONABLE INVESTIGATION.
In connection with the preparation and filing of each registration statement under the Securities Act in connection with an Eligible Registration, the Company will give the Purchasers and their respective agents and advisors and the underwriters, if any, the reasonable opportunity to participate in the preparation of such registration statement, each prospectus included therein or filed with the SEC, 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 necessary, in the option of the Purchasers' counsel, to conduct a reasonable investigation within the meaning of the Securities Act. Subject to the rights and obligations of the Company under the Securities Act and other applicable laws, the Purchasers shall have the right to review and approve those portions of such registration statement that directly pertain to the Purchasers.
SECTION 6. INDEMNIFICATION.
6.1 Indemnification by the Company. In the event any Registrable Securities are included in a registration statement under this Agreement, to the extent permitted by law, the Company will, and hereby does, indemnify and hold harmless each Purchaser, its directors and officers, each other Person who participates as an underwriter in the offering or sale of such securities and each other Person, if any, who controls each Purchaser or any such underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which each Purchaser or any such director or officer or underwriter or controlling person may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any registration statement under which such securities were registered under the Securities Act, any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus or summary prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or 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 the Company will reimburse the Purchasers and each such director, officer, underwriter and controlling person for any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, liability, action or proceeding; provided that the Company shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability (or action or proceeding in respect thereof) or expense arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in such registration statement, any such preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, summary prospectus, amendment or supplement in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Purchasers, and provided further that the Company shall not be liable to any Person who participates as an underwriter in the offering or sale of Registrable Securities or any other Person, if any, who controls such underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act, in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability (or action or proceeding in respect thereof) or expense arises out of such Person's failure to send or give a copy of the final prospectus, as the same may be then supplemented or amended to the Person asserting an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of Registrable Securities to such Person if such statement or omission was corrected in such final prospectus and such delivery would have mitigated liability. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Purchasers or any such director, officer, underwriter or controlling person and shall survive the transfer of such securities by such seller.
6.2 Indemnification by the Purchasers. In the event any Registrable Securities are included in a registration statement under this Agreement, to the extent permitted by law, each Purchaser whose Registrable Securities are registered pursuant to such registration statement will, and hereby does indemnify and hold harmless (in the same manner and to the same extent as set forth in Section 6.1) each underwriter, each Person who controls such underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act, the Company, each director of the Company, each officer of the Company and each other Person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, with respect to any statement or alleged statement in or omission or alleged omission from such registration statement, any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus or summary prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereto, if such statement or alleged statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in strict conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Purchasers expressly for use in the preparation of such registration statement, preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, summary prospectus, amendment or supplement; provided that the Purchasers shall not be liable to any Person who participates as an underwriter in the offering or sale of Registrable Securities or any other Person, if any, who controls such underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act, in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability (or action or proceeding in respect thereof) or expense arises out of such Person's failure to send or give a copy of the final prospectus, as the same may be then supplemented or amended, to the Person asserting an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of Registrable Securities to such Person if such statement or omission was corrected in such final prospectus. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any underwriter, the Company or any such director, officer or controlling Person and shall survive the transfer of such securities by such seller.
6.3 Notices of Claims, etc. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding involving a claim referred to in Sections 6.1 and 6.2, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party, give written notice to the latter of the commencement of such action; provided that the failure of any indemnified party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations under the preceding subdivisions of this Section 6, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is actually prejudiced by such failure to give notice. In case any such action is brought against an indemnified party, unless in such indemnified party's reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist in respect of such claim, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in and to assume the defense thereof, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified to the extent that it may wish, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party, and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the latter in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the indemnified party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement 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. No indemnified party shall consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement without the consent of the indemnifying party.
6.4 Other Indemnification. Indemnification similar to that specified in the preceding subdivisions of this Section 6 (with appropriate modifications) shall be given by the Company and the Purchasers with respect to any required registration or other qualification of securities under any Federal or state law or regulation of any governmental authority other than the Securities Act.
6.5 Indemnification Payments. The indemnification required by this Section 6 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or expense, loss, damage or liability is incurred.
6.6 Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 6 from the indemnifying party is unavailable to an indemnified party hereunder in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to therein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and indemnified parties in connection with the actions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such indemnifying party and indemnified parties shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue statement of material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, has been made by, or relates to information supplied by, such indemnifying party or indemnified parties, and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 6.3 hereof, any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding.
The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 6.6 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 6.6 no underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Registrable Securities underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which such underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (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.
If indemnification is available under this Section 6, the indemnifying parties shall indemnify each indemnified party to the full extent provided in Section 6.1 through Section 6.5 hereof without regard to the relative fault of said indemnifying party or indemnified party or any other equitable consideration provided for in this Section 6.6.
SECTION 7. REPORTING REQUIREMENTS UNDER EXCHANGE ACT.
If and when the Company registers the Common Stock under the Exchange Act, thereafter the Company shall use its reasonable efforts to keep effective the registration of its Common Stock under Section 12 of the Exchange Act and shall timely file such information, documents and reports as the SEC may require or prescribe under Section 13 of the Exchange Act. The Company shall timely file such information, documents and reports which a corporation, partnership or other entity subject to Section 13 or 15(d) (whichever is applicable) of the Exchange Act is required to file.
If the Company is subject to the reporting requirements of either Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Company shall forthwith upon request furnish the Purchasers (i) a written statement by the Company that it has complied with such reporting requirements, (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company, and (iii) such other reports and documents filed by the Company with the SEC as the Purchasers may reasonably request in availing itself of an exemption for the sale of Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act. The Company acknowledges and agrees that the purpose of the requirements contained in this Section 7 are to enable the Purchasers to comply with the current public information requirement contained in Paragraph (c) of Rule 144 under the Securities Act should the Purchasers ever wish to dispose of any of the Securities of the Company acquired by it without registration under the Securities Act in reliance upon Rule 144 (or any other similar exemptive provision). In addition, the Company shall take such other measures and file such other information, documents and reports, as shall hereafter be required by the SEC as a condition to the availability of Rule 144 under the Securities Act (or any similar exemptive provision hereafter in effect).
SECTION 8. STOCKHOLDER INFORMATION.
The Company may require the Purchasers to furnish the Company such information in writing with respect to the Purchasers and the distribution of its Registrable Securities as the Company may from time to time reasonably request in writing and as shall be required by law or by the SEC in connection therewith.
SECTION 9. FORMS.
All references in this Agreement to particular forms of registration statements are intended to include, and shall be deemed to include, references to all successor forms which are intended to replace, or to apply to similar transactions as, the forms herein referenced.
