SECTION 2
REGISTRATION
(a) Required Registration. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement,
Purchaser shall, no later than 5:30 p.m. on a Mandatory Filing Date, file with the SEC an S-3 Shelf
Registration Statement covering the applicable Stock Consideration and, to the extent that the S-3
Shelf Registration Statement is not automatically effective upon such filing, use its reasonable
best efforts to cause such S-3 Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective as soon as
practicable thereafter and keep such S-3 Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective and in
compliance with the Securities Act and usable for resale of such applicable Stock Consideration for
so long as it constitutes Registrable Securities hereunder (including by refiling such S-3 Shelf
Registration Statement or a new S-3 Shelf Registration Statement, if the initial S-3 Shelf
Registration Statement expires).
(b) Right to Request Registration. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, from
the date of the first Deferred Stock Payment until the Termination Date, Seller may request that
Purchaser register (a “Registration”) for public resale by Seller all or any portion of the
Registrable Securities held by the Seller not otherwise covered by a Registration Statement. Upon
such request, and subject to Sections 4 and 6 and the last sentence of this
Section, Purchaser shall use reasonable best efforts (i) to, at any time when Purchaser is
eligible to use Form S-3, file an S-3 Shelf Registration Statement (or any amendment or supplement
thereto) covering the number of Registrable Securities specified in such request under the
Securities Act for public resale in accordance with the method of disposition specified in such
request within 15 Business Days after the date of Seller’s written request therefor; (ii) if
Purchaser is not eligible to file an S-3 Shelf Registration Statement, to file a Registration
Statement (other than an S-3 Shelf Registration Statement) registering for resale such number of
Registrable Securities as requested to be so registered pursuant to this Section within 30
Business Days after the date of Seller’s request therefor; and (iii) to cause such Registration
Statement to be declared effective by the SEC as soon as practicable thereafter; provided,
however, that, subject to subsections (a) and (c) of this Section and for so long
as Purchaser shall have timely complied with its obligations under Section 11 hereof and
Section 5.6 of the Purchase Agreement, Purchaser shall not be required to
5
effect a Registration pursuant to this subsection unless Seller makes a request for
Registration with respect to not less than 250,000 Registrable Securities not otherwise covered by
a Registration Statement. If permitted under the Securities Act, such Registration Statement shall
be one that is automatically effective upon filing.
(c) Underwritten Offerings. Seller shall be entitled to request that a sale of
Registrable Securities, whether pursuant to a Registration or an existing S-3 Shelf Registration
Statement, be an underwritten offering; provided, however, that (based on the
then-current market prices) the number of Registrable Securities included in such offering would
reasonably be expected to yield gross proceeds of at least the Minimum Amount; and provided
further, that Purchaser shall not be required to provide for or cooperate with a sale of
Registrable Securities, whether pursuant to a Registration or an existing S-3 Shelf Registration
Statement, pursuant to an underwritten offering as requested by Seller, on more than two occasions
in any 12-month period unless consented to by Purchaser.
(d) Selection of Underwriters. If any of the Registrable Securities are to be sold in
an underwritten offering initiated by Seller, Purchaser and Seller shall mutually and reasonably
select the managing underwriter or underwriters to lead the offering, it being understood and
agreed that Xxxxxxx, Xxxxx & Co. shall be acceptable to both Purchaser and Seller.
(e) Priority. Purchaser may include Purchaser Shares other than Registrable
Securities in a Registration for any accounts (including for the account of Purchaser) on the terms
provided in this Agreement. For any underwritten offering, Purchaser may include Purchaser Shares
other than Registrable Securities for any accounts (including for the account of Purchaser), but
only with the consent of the managing underwriters of such offering. If the managing underwriters
of the requested offering advise Purchaser and Seller that in their opinion the number of Purchaser
Shares proposed to be included in the offering exceeds the number of Purchaser Shares which can be
sold in such underwritten offering without materially delaying or jeopardizing the success of the
offering (including the price per share of Purchaser Shares proposed to be sold in such
underwritten offering), Purchaser shall include in such offering (i) first, the number of
Registrable Securities that Seller proposes to sell; and (ii) second, the number of Purchaser
Shares proposed to be included therein by any other Persons (including Purchaser Shares to be sold
for the account of Purchaser) allocated among such Persons in such manner as Purchaser may
determine. If the number of Purchaser Shares that may be sold is less than the number of Purchaser
Shares proposed to be registered pursuant to clause (i) above by Seller, the amount of Purchaser
Shares to be sold shall be allocated to Seller.
(f) Right to Effect Sales. Seller shall be entitled, at any time and from time to
time when an S-3 Shelf Registration Statement is effective and until the Termination Date, to offer
and sell such Registrable Securities as are then registered pursuant to such Registration
Statement, but only upon not less than 10 Business Days’ prior written notice to Purchaser (if such
sale is to be underwritten) or such other period as may be reasonably necessary for Purchaser to
comply with the covenants contained in Section 6(a), in each case to the extent relevant to
such offering. Seller shall give Purchaser prompt written notice of the consummation of each such
sale (whether or not underwritten).
6
(g) Effective Period of Registration Statements.
(i) With respect to any Registration Statement, Purchaser shall use reasonable best efforts to
keep such Registration Statement effective for a period of 366 days following (and not including)
the Closing Date or until all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement shall
have been sold by Seller, provided that such period shall be extended by the number of days
in any Suspension Period commenced pursuant to Section 4 during such period (as it may be
so extended) and by the number of days in any Third Party Holdback period commenced during such
period (as it may be so extended).
(h) Liquidated Damages. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement
(including Sections 4 and 6 hereof), if Purchaser does not (i) file an S-3 Shelf
Registration Statement (or such other Registration Statement as may be appropriate in the
circumstances) as and when required under this Agreement with respect to any Registrable
Securities, other than as a result of the SEC being unable to accept such filings (a “Filing
Default”); or (ii) cause (A) such S-3 Shelf Registration Statement (or such other Registration
Statement) to be declared effective by the SEC; and (B) such Registrable Securities to be approved
for listing on NASDAQ within 10 Business Days of a Seller request (an “Effectiveness
Default”), then Purchaser shall pay Seller (or, if applicable, the relevant Permitted
Transferee(s)) cash in an amount equal to 1% of the value of such Registrable Shares held by Seller
(or, if applicable, the relevant Permitted Transferee(s)) (with such value determined as of the
date of issuance thereof as Deferred Stock Consideration in accordance with the Purchase Agreement,
with any Registrable Securities consisting of other than Purchaser Shares having a value equal to
the Purchaser Shares in respect of which they were issued), at the close of business on the second
Business Day following such Filing Default or Effectiveness Default. Following effectiveness of
the Registration Statement and listing of the Registrable Securities on NASDAQ, subject to the
terms and conditions of this Agreement (including Sections 4 and 6 hereof), if at
any time the Registration Statement ceases to be effective and available for resale of the
Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement (an “Availability Default”),
Purchaser shall pay Seller (or such Permitted Transferee(s)) cash in an amount equal to 1% of the
value of the Registrable Shares subject to such Registration Statement (or, if applicable, the
relevant Permitted Transferees) (with such value determined as aforesaid) for each week that such
Availability Default continues (pro rated for any partial week). Payment of liquidated damages
resulting from an Availability Default shall be made on the first day of each month or such earlier
date as such Availability Default shall have been cured. Any amount due but not paid by Purchaser
pursuant to this subsection shall bear interest at a daily compounded rate equal to 18% per annum
or the highest rate permitted by applicable law, whichever is lower, from and including the due
date therefor through but excluding the date of payment. Liquidated damages payable hereunder
shall be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing
by Seller to Purchaser. Notwithstanding any of the above, in no event shall the Purchaser be
required to pay to Seller (or, if applicable, the relevant Permitted Transferee(s)) more than the
amount of the Purchase Price paid in Purchaser Shares under this Section 2(h).
(i) Purchase Agreement Restrictions. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect the
provisions of the Purchase Agreement related to Purchaser Shares, which shall apply independently
hereof in accordance with the terms thereof.
7
SECTION 3
PIGGYBACK REGISTRATIONS
(a) Right to Piggyback. Whenever prior to the Termination Date Purchaser proposes to
register any Purchaser Shares under the Securities Act (other than on a registration statement on
Form X-0, X-0, X-0 or F-4), whether for its own account or for the account of one or more holders
of Purchaser Shares (other than Seller), and the form of registration statement to be used may be
used for any registration of Registrable Securities (a “Piggyback Registration”), Purchaser
shall give written notice to Seller of its intention to effect such a registration and, subject to
Sections 3(b) and 3(c), shall include in such registration statement and in any
offering of Purchaser Shares to be made pursuant to that registration statement all Registrable
Securities with respect to which Purchaser has received a written request for inclusion therein
from Seller within five Business Days after Seller’s receipt of Purchaser’s notice or, in the case
of a primary offering, such shorter time as is reasonably specified by Purchaser in light of the
circumstances (provided that only Registrable Securities of the same class or classes as
Purchaser Shares being registered may be requested to be included). Purchaser shall have no
obligation to proceed with any Piggyback Registration and may abandon, terminate and/or withdraw
such registration for any reason at any time. If Purchaser or any other Person other than Seller
proposes to sell Purchaser Shares in an underwritten offering pursuant to a registration statement
on Form S-3 under the Securities Act, such offering shall be treated as a primary or secondary
underwritten offering pursuant to a Piggyback Registration.
(b) Priority on Primary Piggyback Registrations. If a Piggyback Registration is
initiated as a primary underwritten offering on behalf of Purchaser and the managing underwriters
advise Purchaser and Seller (if Seller has elected to include Registrable Securities in such
Piggyback Registration) that in their opinion the number of Purchaser Shares proposed to be
included in such offering exceeds the number of Purchaser Shares (of any class) which can be sold
in such offering without materially delaying or jeopardizing the success of the offering (including
the price per share of Purchaser Shares proposed to be sold in such offering), Purchaser shall
include in such registration and offering (i) first, the number of Purchaser Shares that Purchaser
proposes to sell; and (ii) second, the number of Purchaser Shares requested to be included therein
by holders of Purchaser Shares, including Seller (if Seller has elected to include Registrable
Securities in such Piggyback Registration), pro rata among all such holders on the basis of the
number of Purchaser Shares requested to be included therein by all such holders or as such holders
and Purchaser may otherwise agree (with allocations among different classes of Purchaser Shares, if
more than one are involved, to be determined by Purchaser). If the number of Purchaser Shares that
may be sold is less than the number of Purchaser Shares proposed to be registered pursuant to
clause (i) above by Purchaser, the amount of Purchaser Shares to be sold shall be allocated to
Purchaser.
(c) Priority on Secondary Piggyback Registrations. If a Piggyback Registration is
initiated as an underwritten registration on behalf of a holder of Purchaser Shares other than
Seller (and Seller has elected to include Registrable Securities in such Piggyback Registration),
and the managing underwriters advise Purchaser that in their opinion the number of Purchaser Shares
proposed to be included in such registration exceeds the number of Purchaser Shares (of
8
any class) which can be sold in such offering without materially delaying or jeopardizing the
success of the offering (including the price per share of Purchaser Shares to be sold in such
offering), then Purchaser shall include in such registration (i) first, the number of Purchaser
Shares requested to be included therein by the holder(s) initially requesting such registration;
(ii) second, the number of Purchaser Shares requested to be included therein by other holders of
Purchaser Shares, including Seller (if Seller has elected to include Registrable Securities in such
Piggyback Registration), pro rata among such holders on the basis of the number of Purchaser Shares
requested to be included therein by such holders or as such holders and Purchaser may otherwise
agree (with allocations among different classes of Purchaser Shares, if more than one are involved,
to be determined by Purchaser); and (iii) third, the number of Purchaser Shares that Purchaser
proposes to sell.
(d) Selection of Underwriters. If any Piggyback Registration is a primary or
secondary underwritten offering, Purchaser shall have the right to provide for the selection the
managing underwriter or underwriters to administer any such offering.
(e) Basis of Participation. Seller may not sell Registrable Securities in any
offering pursuant to a Piggyback Registration unless it (i) agrees to sell such Purchaser Shares on
the same basis provided in the underwriting or other distribution arrangements approved by
Purchaser and that apply to Purchaser and/or any other holders involved in such Piggyback
Registration; and (ii) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities,
underwriting agreements, lockups and other documents required under the terms of such arrangements.
SECTION 4
SUSPENSION PERIODS
Purchaser may (i) delay the filing or effectiveness of a Registration Statement in conjunction
with a Registration; or (ii) prior to the pricing of any underwritten offering or other offering of
Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration delay such underwritten or other offering (and,
if it so chooses, withdraw any Registration Statement that has been filed), but in each case
described in clauses (i) and (ii) only if Purchaser determines in its reasonable judgment (A) that
proceeding with such an offering would require Purchaser to disclose material information that
would not otherwise be required to be disclosed at that time and that the disclosure of such
information at that time would not be in Purchaser’s best interests; or (B) that the registration
or offering to be delayed would, if not delayed, materially adversely affect Purchaser and its
subsidiaries taken as a whole or materially interfere with, or jeopardize the success of, any
pending or proposed material transaction, including any debt or equity financing, any acquisition
or disposition, any recapitalization or reorganization or any other material transaction, whether
due to commercial reasons, a desire to avoid premature disclosure of information or any other
reason. Any period during which Purchaser has delayed a filing, effectiveness or an offering
pursuant to this Section is herein called a “Suspension Period.” Purchaser shall
provide prompt written notice to Seller of the commencement and termination of any Suspension
Period (and any withdrawal of a Registration Statement pursuant to this Section) but shall not be
obligated under this Agreement to disclose the reasons therefor. Seller shall
9
keep the existence of each Suspension Period confidential and refrain from making offers and
sales of Registrable Securities (and direct any other Affiliates making such offers and sales to
refrain from doing so) during each Suspension Period. In no event (x) may Purchaser deliver notice
of a Suspension Period to Seller more than two times in any calendar year; and (y) shall a
Suspension Period or Suspension Periods be in effect for an aggregate of 30 days or more in any
calendar year.
SECTION 5
HOLDBACK AGREEMENTS
The restrictions in this Section shall apply for as long as Seller is the beneficial owner of
any Registrable Securities. If Purchaser sells Purchaser Shares or other securities convertible
into or exchangeable for (or otherwise representing a right to acquire) Purchaser Shares in a
primary underwritten offering pursuant to any registration statement under the Securities Act (but
only if Seller is provided its piggyback rights, if any, in accordance with Sections 3(a)
and 3(b)), or if any other Person sells Purchaser Shares in a secondary underwritten
offering pursuant to a Piggyback Registration in accordance with Sections 3(a) and
3(c), and if the managing underwriters for such offering advise Purchaser (in which case
Purchaser promptly shall notify Seller) that a public sale or distribution of Purchaser Shares
outside such offering would materially adversely affect such offering, then, if requested by
Purchaser, Seller shall agree, as contemplated in this Section, not to sell, or request the
registration of, any Registrable Securities (or any securities of any Person that are convertible
into or exchangeable for, or otherwise represent a right to acquire, any Registrable Securities)
for a period (each such period, a “Holdback Period”) beginning on the 15th day
before the pricing date for the underwritten offering and extending through the earlier of (a) the
90th day after such pricing date (subject to customary extensions); and (b) such earlier
day (if any) as may be designated for this purpose by the managing underwriters for such offering
(each such agreement of Seller, a “Holdback Agreement”). Each Holdback Agreement shall be
in writing in form and substance satisfactory to Purchaser and the managing underwriters.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall not be obligated to make a Holdback Agreement unless
Purchaser and each selling shareholder in such offering also execute agreements substantially
similar to such Holdback Agreement relating to public sales or distributions of Purchaser Shares
outside the applicable offering.
SECTION 6
REGISTRATION PROCEDURES
(a) Whenever Seller requests or the provisions of Section 2(a) require that any
Registrable Securities be registered pursuant to this Agreement, Purchaser shall use reasonable
best efforts to effect, as soon as practicable and otherwise as and when provided herein, the
registration and (if applicable) the sale of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the
intended methods of disposition thereof, and, pursuant thereto, Purchaser shall, as soon as
practicable as provided herein:
10
(i) subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, use reasonable best efforts to prepare
and file with the SEC a Registration Statement with respect to such Registrable Securities and
cause such Registration Statement to become effective (unless it is automatically effective upon
filing);
(ii) use reasonable best efforts to 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 comply with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act and to keep such
Registration Statement effective for the relevant period required hereunder, but no longer than is
necessary to complete the distribution of Purchaser Shares covered by such Registration Statement,
and to comply with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act with respect to the
disposition of all Purchaser Shares covered by such Registration Statement during such period in
accordance with the intended methods of disposition set forth in such Registration Statement;
(iii) use reasonable best efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the
effectiveness of any Registration Statement, or the lifting of any suspension of the qualification
or exemption from qualification of any Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction in the
United States;
(iv) deliver, without charge, such number of copies of the preliminary and final Prospectus
and any supplement thereto as Seller may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition
of the Registrable Securities of Seller covered by such Registration Statement in conformity with
the requirements of the Securities Act;
(v) use reasonable best efforts to register or qualify such Registrable Securities under such
other securities or blue sky laws of such U.S. jurisdictions as Seller reasonably requests and
continue such registration or qualification in effect in such jurisdictions for as long as the
applicable Registration Statement may be required to be kept effective under this Agreement
provided that Purchaser will not be required to (A) qualify generally to do business in any
jurisdiction where it or any of its subsidiaries would not otherwise be required to qualify but for
this subparagraph (v); (B) subject itself or any of its subsidiaries to taxation in any such
jurisdiction; or (C) consent to general service of process for itself or any of its subsidiaries in
any such jurisdiction;
(vi) notify Seller and each distributor of such Registrable Securities identified by Seller,
at any time when a Prospectus relating thereto would be required under the Securities Act to be
delivered by such distributor, of the occurrence of any event as a result of which the Prospectus
included in such Registration Statement contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits a
material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which
they were made, not misleading, and, at the request of Seller, Purchaser shall use reasonable best
efforts to prepare, as soon as practical, a supplement or amendment to such Prospectus so that, as
thereafter delivered to any prospective purchasers of such Registrable Securities, such Prospectus
shall not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact
necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made,
not misleading;
11
(vii) on the effective date of any Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section
2(a), Purchaser shall cause to be delivered to Seller (i) an opinion of Xxxxxxx Coie LLP,
counsel for Purchaser (or such other counsel reasonably acceptable to Seller), dated the effective
date and addressed to Seller, to substantially the effect set forth in Annex A hereto and otherwise
in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Seller; and (ii) to
the extent allowed pursuant to professional standards a customary comfort letter of
KPMG LLP, independent accountants to Purchaser, dated the effective date and addressed to Seller,
confirming that they are independent accountants within the meaning of the Securities Act and the
Exchange Act and the respective applicable rules and regulations adopted by the SEC thereunder and
otherwise in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Seller;
(viii) in the case of any block trade (whether on a principal or agency basis) involving
Registrable Securities, whether pursuant to a Registration Statement or otherwise, take all such
other customary and reasonable actions as the Seller or the relevant dealer may request in order to
facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities pursuant to such block trade, including
the entry into any agreement for the indemnification of such dealer and the provision of opinions
of counsel and comfort letters that are consistent with customary and reasonable practices for such
transactions;
(ix) in the case of an underwritten offering in which Seller participates pursuant to a
Registration or a Piggyback Registration, enter into an underwriting agreement in substantially the
form used by Purchaser at that time for underwritten offerings of that kind, with appropriate
modification, containing such provisions (including provisions for indemnification, lockups,
opinions of counsel and comfort letters), and take all such other customary and reasonable actions
as the managing underwriters of such offering may request in order to facilitate the disposition of
such Registrable Securities (including, making members of senior management of Purchaser available
at reasonable times and places to participate in “road-shows” that the managing underwriter
determines are necessary to effect the offering);
(x) to the extent not prohibited by applicable law,
(A) make reasonably available, for inspection by Seller or the
managing underwriters in case of an underwritten offering and any
attorneys and accountants acting Seller or for such managing underwriters, pertinent corporate documents and
financial and other records of Purchaser and its subsidiaries; (B) cause Purchaser’s officers and
employees to supply information reasonably requested by Seller or such managing underwriters or attorneys in
connection with such offering; (C) make Purchaser’s
independent accountants available for Seller’s or such
managing underwriters’s due diligence and have them provide
customary comfort letters to Seller or such managing
underwriters in connection therewith; and (D) cause Purchaser’s counsel to furnish customary legal
opinions to Seller or such managing underwriters in connection therewith; provided, however, that such
records and other information shall be subject to such confidential treatment as is customary for
due diligence reviews;
(xi) use reasonable best efforts to cause all such Registrable Securities to be listed on
NASDAQ or any successor primary securities exchange (if any) on which Purchaser Shares are then
listed;
12
(xii) provide a transfer agent and registrar for all such Registrable Securities not later
than the effective date of such Registration Statement and, a reasonable time before any proposed
sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement, provide the transfer agent
with printed certificates for the Registrable Securities to be sold or such other applicable
evidence of such Registrable Securities, subject to the provisions of Section 10;
(xiii) make generally available to its shareholders a consolidated earnings statement (which
need not be audited) for a period of 12 months beginning after the effective date of the
Registration Statement as soon as reasonably practicable after the end of such period, which
earnings statement shall satisfy the requirements of an earning statement under
Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder; and
(xiv) promptly notify Seller and the managing underwriters of any underwritten offering, if
any:
(A) when the Registration Statement, any pre-effective amendment, the Prospectus or any
Prospectus supplement or any post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement has been
filed and, with respect to the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment, when
the same has become effective;
(B) of any request by the SEC for amendments or supplements to the Registration
Statement or the Prospectus or for any additional information regarding Seller;
(C) of the notification to Purchaser by the SEC of its initiation of any proceeding
with respect to the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of
the Registration Statement; and
(D) of the receipt by Purchaser of any notification with respect to the suspension of
the qualification of any Registrable Securities for sale under the applicable securities or
blue sky laws of any jurisdiction.
For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of clauses (ix), (xiii) and (xiv) of this
Section shall apply only in respect of an underwritten offering and only if (based on market prices
at the time the offering is requested by Seller) the number of Registrable Securities to be sold in
the offering would reasonably be expected to yield gross proceeds of at least the Minimum Amount.
(b) No Registration Statement (including any amendments thereto) shall contain any 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, and no Prospectus (including any
supplements thereto) shall contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a
material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which
they were made, not misleading, in each case, except for any untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission of a material fact made in reliance on
and in conformity with written information furnished to Purchaser by or on behalf of Seller,
13
other holder of Purchaser Shares, or any underwriter or other distributor specifically for use
therein.
(c) At all times after Purchaser has filed a Registration Statement with the SEC pursuant to
the requirements of the Securities Act and until the Termination Date, Purchaser shall use
reasonable best efforts to continuously maintain in effect the registration statement of Purchaser
Shares under Section 12 of the Exchange Act and to use reasonable best efforts to file all reports
required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and
regulations adopted by the SEC thereunder.
(d) Purchaser may require Seller and each distributor of Registrable Securities as to which
any registration is being effected to furnish to Purchaser documentation and information regarding
such Person and the distribution of such securities as Purchaser may from time to time reasonably
request in connection with such registration.
(e) Seller agrees by having Purchaser Shares treated as Registrable Securities hereunder that,
upon being advised in writing by Purchaser of the occurrence of an event pursuant to
Section 6(a)(vi), Seller will immediately discontinue (and direct any other Affiliates
making offers and sales of Registrable Securities to immediately discontinue) offers and sales of
Registrable Securities pursuant to any Registration Statement (other than those pursuant to a plan
that is in effect prior to such time and that complies with Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act) until
it is advised in writing by Purchaser that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed and is
furnished with a supplemented or amended Prospectus as contemplated by Section 6(a)(vi),
and, if so directed by Purchaser, Seller will deliver to Purchaser all copies, other than permanent
file copies then in Seller’s possession, of the Prospectus covering such Registrable Securities
current at the time of receipt of such notice.
(f) Purchaser may prepare and deliver an issuer free-writing prospectus (as such term is
defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) in lieu of any supplement to a Prospectus, and
references herein to any “supplement” to a Prospectus shall include any such issuer free-writing
prospectus. Neither Seller nor any other seller of Registrable Securities may use a free-writing
prospectus to offer or sell any such shares without Purchaser’s prior written consent.
(g) It is understood and agreed that any failure of Purchaser to file a registration statement
or any amendment or supplement thereto or to cause any such document to become or remain effective
or usable within or for any particular period of time as provided in Section 2, 3,
or 6 or otherwise in this Agreement, due to reasons that are not reasonably within its
control, or due to any refusal of the SEC to permit a registration statement or prospectus to
become or remain effective or to be used because of unresolved SEC comments thereon (or on any
documents incorporated therein by reference) despite Purchaser’s good faith and reasonable best
efforts to resolve those comments, shall not be a breach of this Agreement (and will not trigger
any liquidated damages under Section 2(h)).
(h) It is further understood and agreed that Purchaser shall not have any obligations under
this Section at any time on or after the Termination Date, unless an underwritten offering in which
Seller participates has been priced but not completed prior to the Termination Date, in which event
Purchaser’s obligations under this Section shall continue with respect to such
14
offering until it is so completed (but not more than 60 days after the commencement of the
offering).
(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Purchaser shall not be
required to file a Registration Statement or include Registrable Securities in a Registration
Statement unless it has received from Seller, at least five Business Days prior to the anticipated
filing date of the Registration Statement, information and documents reasonably required by
Purchaser to be provided by Seller.
SECTION 7
REGISTRATION EXPENSES
(a) All reasonable expenses incident to Purchaser’s performance of or compliance with this
Agreement, including all registration and filing fees, fees and expenses of compliance with
securities or blue sky laws, FINRA filing fees, listing application fees, printing expenses,
transfer agent’s and registrar’s fees, cost of distributing Prospectuses in preliminary and final
form as well as any supplements thereto, and fees and disbursements of counsel for Purchaser and
all independent certified public accountants and other Persons retained by Purchaser (but not
including any underwriting discounts or commissions attributable to the sale of Registrable
Securities or fees and expenses of counsel and any other advisors representing any underwriters or
other distributors), shall be borne by Purchaser (such expenses being herein called
“Registration Expenses”). Seller shall bear the cost of all underwriting discounts and
commissions associated with any sale of Registrable Securities and shall pay all of its own costs
and expenses, including all fees and expenses of any counsel (and any other advisers) representing
Seller and any stock transfer taxes.
(b) The obligation of Purchaser to bear the expenses described in Section 7(a) shall
apply irrespective of whether a registration, once properly demanded or requested becomes effective
or is withdrawn or suspended; provided, however, that Registration Expenses for any
Registration Statement withdrawn solely at the request of Seller (unless withdrawn following
commencement of a Suspension Period pursuant to Section 4) shall be borne by Seller.
SECTION 8
INDEMNIFICATION
(a) Purchaser shall indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by law, Seller and each Person
who controls Seller (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against all losses, claims, damages,
liabilities, judgments, costs (including reasonable costs of investigation) and expenses (including
reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of
a material fact contained in any Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendment thereof or
supplement thereto (including any “free writing prospectus” filed by Purchaser (as defined in Rule
433 under the Securities Act)) or arising out of or based upon 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 made in reliance and in conformity with information
furnished in writing to Purchaser by Seller expressly for use therein.
15
In connection with an underwritten offering in which Seller participates conducted pursuant to
a registration effected hereunder, Purchaser shall indemnify each participating underwriter and
each Person who controls such underwriter (within the meaning of the Securities Act) to the same
extent as provided above with respect to the indemnification of Seller.
(b) In connection with any Registration Statement in which Seller is participating, Seller
shall furnish to Purchaser in writing such information as Purchaser reasonably requests for use in
connection with any such Registration Statement or Prospectus, or amendment or supplement thereto,
and shall indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by law, Purchaser, its officers and directors
and each Person who controls Purchaser (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against all
losses, claims, damages, liabilities, judgments, costs (including reasonable costs of
investigation) and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or based upon any
untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in the Registration Statement or
Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto (including any “free writing prospectus” (as
defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act and required to be filed by Purchaser with the SEC or
retained by Purchaser under Rule 433 of the Securities Act), or arising out of or based upon 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 the same are made in reliance
and in conformity with information furnished in writing to Purchaser by or on behalf of Seller
expressly for use therein. Seller agrees that, unless it has or shall have obtained the prior
written consent of Purchaser, it has not made and will not make any offer relating to the
Registrable Securities that would constitute a “free writing prospectus” (as defined in Rule 405
of the Securities Act).
(c) Any party entitled to indemnification hereunder (an “Indemnified Party”) shall
give written notice to the party indemnifying it (the “Indemnifying Party”) of any claim
with respect to which it seeks indemnification promptly after discovery by such Indemnified Party
of any matters giving rise to a claim for indemnification. Such notice shall describe such claim
in reasonable detail. Failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the
Indemnifying Party from any liability that it may have to an Indemnified Party except to the extent
that the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced thereby. The Indemnified Party shall permit
such Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to
the Indemnified Party. An Indemnifying Party who is entitled to, and elects to, assume the defense
of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel (in
addition to one local counsel) for Parties indemnified (hereunder or otherwise) by such
Indemnifying Party with respect to such claim (and all other claims arising out of the same
circumstances), unless in the reasonable judgment of any Indemnified Party there may be one or more
legal or equitable defenses available to such Indemnified Party which are in addition to or may
conflict with those available to another Indemnified Party with respect to such claim, in which
case such maximum number of counsel for all Indemnified Parties shall be two rather than one. If
any Indemnifying Party is entitled to, and elects to, assume the defense of a claim, the
Indemnified Party shall continue to be entitled to participate in the defense thereof, with counsel
of its own choice, but, except as set forth above, the Indemnifying Party shall not be obligated to
reimburse the Indemnified Party for the costs thereof. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the
defense of any claim, all Indemnified Parties shall deliver to the Indemnifying Party copies of all
notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnified Party related to the
16
claim, and each Indemnified Party shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution of such claim.
Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the Indemnifying Party’s request) the
provision to the Indemnifying Party of records and information that are reasonably relevant to such
claim, and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional
information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. The Indemnifying Party shall not
be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the Indemnified Party without the
Indemnified Party’s written consent (but such consent will not be unreasonably withheld). The
Indemnifying Party shall not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into or agree to any
settlement relating to a claim or action for which any Indemnified Party would be entitled to
indemnification by any Indemnifying Party hereunder unless such judgment or settlement imposes no
ongoing obligations on any such Indemnified Party and includes as an unconditional term the giving,
by all relevant claimants and plaintiffs to such Indemnified Party, a release, reasonably
satisfactory in form and substance to such Indemnified Party, from all liabilities in respect of
such claim or action for which such Indemnified Party would be entitled to such indemnification.
The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable hereunder for any amount paid or payable or incurred
pursuant to or in connection with any judgment entered or settlement effected with the consent of
an Indemnified Party unless the Indemnifying Party has also consented to such judgment or
settlement.
(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
officer, director or controlling Person of such Indemnified Party and shall survive the transfer of
securities and the Termination Date but only with respect to offers and sales of Registrable
Securities made before the Termination Date or during the period following the Termination Date
referred to in Section 6(h).
(e) If the indemnification provided for in or pursuant to this Section is due in accordance
with the terms hereof, but is held by a court to be unavailable or unenforceable in respect of any
losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to herein, then each applicable
indemnifying Person, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified Person, shall contribute to the
amount paid or payable by such indemnified Person as a result of such losses, claims, damages,
liabilities or expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the
indemnifying Person on the one hand and of the indemnified Person on the other in connection with
the statements or omissions which result in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses
as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying
Person on the one hand and of the indemnified Person on the other shall be determined by reference
to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the
omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the
indemnifying Person or by the indemnified Person, and by such Person’s relative intent, knowledge,
access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. In no
event shall the liability of the indemnifying Person be greater in amount than the amount for which
such indemnifying Person would have been obligated to pay by way of indemnification if the
indemnification provided for under Section 8(a) or 8(b) hereof had been available
under the circumstances.
17
SECTION 9
SECURITIES ACT RESTRICTIONS
The Registrable Securities are restricted securities under the Securities Act and may not be
offered or sold except pursuant to an effective registration statement or an available exemption
from registration under the Securities Act. Accordingly, Seller shall not, directly or through
others, offer or sell any Registrable Securities except pursuant to a Registration Statement or
pursuant to an exemption from, or a transaction not subject to, registration under the Securities
Act. Any certificates representing the Registrable Securities may bear a legend (and Purchaser’s
share registry may bear a notation) referencing the restrictions on transfer contained in this
Agreement, until such time as such securities have ceased to be (or are to be transferred in a
manner that results in their ceasing to be) Registrable Securities as evidenced to the reasonable
satisfaction of the Purchaser. Subject to the provisions of this Section, Purchaser shall replace
any such legended certificates with unlegended certificates promptly upon surrender of the legended
certificates to Purchaser or its designee, in order to facilitate a lawful transfer or at any time
after such shares cease to be Registrable Securities.
SECTION 10
TRANSFERS OF RIGHTS
If Seller transfers any Registrable Securities to a Permitted Transferee in accordance with
the Purchase Agreement, such Permitted Transferee shall, together with all other such Permitted
Transferees and Seller, also have the rights of Seller under this Agreement with respect to such
Registrable Securities (including all of Seller’s rights in Section 8), but only if the
Permitted Transferee signs and delivers to Purchaser a written acknowledgment that it has joined
with Seller and the other Permitted Transferees as a party to this Agreement and has assumed,
severally but not jointly, the rights and obligations of Seller hereunder with respect to the
Registrable Securities transferred to it by Seller. Each such transfer shall be effective when
(but only when) the Permitted Transferee has signed and delivered the written acknowledgment to
Purchaser’s reasonable satisfaction. Upon any such effective transfer, the Permitted Transferee
shall automatically have the rights so transferred, and Seller’s obligations under this Agreement,
and the rights with respect to the Registrable Securities not so transferred, shall continue.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no Person who acquires securities
transferred in violation of this Agreement or the Purchase Agreement, or who acquires securities
that are not or upon acquisition cease to be Registrable Securities, shall have any rights under
this Agreement with respect to such securities, and such securities shall not have the benefits
afforded hereunder to Registrable Securities.
SECTION 11
RULE 144 REPORTING
18
With a view to making available the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the SEC that
may at any time permit the sale of the Registrable Securities to the public without registration,
Purchaser agrees to:
(a) use its reasonable best efforts to make and keep public information available, as those
terms are understood and defined in Rule 144(c)(i), at all times until the Termination Date;
(b) use its reasonable best efforts to file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and
other documents required to be filed by Purchaser under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act (at
any time after it has become subject to such reporting requirements);
(c) so long as Seller owns any Registrable Securities, if Purchaser is not required to file
reports and other documents under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, it will make available
other information as required by, and so long as necessary to permit sales of Registrable
Securities pursuant to, Rule 144A (including the provision of information to Seller and prospective
purchasers designated by Seller pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4)) and, commencing at such time as sales
are permitted under Rule 144, Rule 144A, and in any event shall make available (either by mailing a
copy thereof, by posting on Purchaser’s website, or by press release) to Seller a copy of:
(i) Purchaser’s annual consolidated financial statements (including at least balance sheets,
statements of profit and loss, statements of stockholders’ equity and statements of cash flows)
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S., accompanied by an
audit report of Purchaser’s independent accountants, no later than 90 days after the end of each
fiscal year of Purchaser; and
(ii) Purchaser’s unaudited quarterly financial statements (including at least balance sheets,
statements of profit and loss, statements of stockholders’ equity and statements of cash flows)
prepared in a manner substantially consistent with the preparation of Purchaser’s annual financial
statements, no later than 45 days after the end of each fiscal quarter of Purchaser.
