2. Registration.
a. Mandatory
Registration.
The
Company shall prepare, and, as soon as practicable but in no event later than
the Filing Deadline, file with the SEC the Registration Statement on Form S-3
registering for resale of a number of Registrable Securities equal to at least
the Required Registration Amount determined as of date the Registration
Statement is initially filed with the SEC. In the event that Form S-3 is
unavailable for such a registration, the Company shall use such other form
as is
available for such a registration, subject to the provisions of Section 2(d).
The Registration Statement shall contain (except if otherwise directed by the
Required Holders) the "Selling
Shareholders"
and
"Plan
of Distribution"
sections in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit
B.
The
Company shall use its best efforts to have the Registration Statement declared
effective by the SEC as soon as practicable, but in no event later than the
Effectiveness Deadline. By 9:30 am on the Business Day following the Effective
Date, the Company shall file with the SEC in accordance with Rule 424 under
the
1933 Act the final prospectus to be used in connection with sales pursuant
to
such Registration Statement.
b. Allocation
of Registrable Securities.
The
initial number of Registrable Securities included in any Registration Statement
and any increase in the number of Registrable Securities included therein shall
be allocated pro rata among the Investors based on the number of Registrable
Securities held by each Investor at the time the Registration Statement covering
such initial number of Registrable Securities or increase thereof is declared
effective by the SEC. In the event that an Investor sells or otherwise transfers
any of such Investor's Registrable Securities, each transferee shall be
allocated a pro rata portion of the then remaining number of Registrable
Securities included in such Registration Statement for such transferor. Any
shares of Common Stock included in a Registration Statement and which remain
allocated to any Person which ceases to hold any Registrable Securities covered
by such Registration Statement shall be allocated to the remaining Investors,
pro rata based on the number of Registrable Securities then held by such
Investors which are covered by such Registration Statement. In no event shall
the Company include any securities other than the Registrable Securities on
any
Registration Statement without the prior written consent of the Required
Holders.
c. Legal
Counsel.
Subject
to Section 5 hereof, the Required Holders shall have the right to select one
legal counsel to review and oversee any registration pursuant to this Section
2
("Legal
Counsel"),
which
shall be Xxxxxxx Xxxx & Xxxxx LLP or such other counsel as thereafter
designated by the Required Holders. The Company and Legal Counsel shall
reasonably cooperate with each other in performing the Company's obligations
under this Agreement.
d. Ineligibility
for Form S-3.
In the
event that Form S-3 is not available for the registration of the resale of
Registrable Securities hereunder, the Company shall (i) register the resale
of
the Registrable Securities on another appropriate form reasonably acceptable
to
the Required Holders and (ii) undertake to register the Registrable Securities
on Form S-3 as soon as such form is available, provided that the Company shall
use best efforts to maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement
then in effect until such time as a Registration Statement on Form S-3 covering
the Registrable Securities has been declared effective by the SEC.
e. Sufficient
Number of Shares Registered.
In the
event the number of shares available under a Registration Statement filed
pursuant to Section 2(a) is insufficient to cover all of the Registrable
Securities required to be covered by such Registration Statement or an
Investor's allocated portion of the Registrable Securities pursuant to Section
2(b), the Company shall amend the applicable Registration Statement, or file
a
new Registration Statement (on the short form available therefor, if
applicable), or both, so as to cover at least the Required Registration Amount
as of the trading day immediately preceding the date of the filing of such
amendment or new Registration Statement, in each case, as soon as practicable,
but in any event not later than forty-five (45) days after the necessity
therefor arises. The Company shall use its best efforts to cause such amendment
and/or new Registration Statement to become effective as soon as practicable
following the filing thereof. For purposes of the foregoing provision, the
number of shares available under a Registration Statement shall be deemed
"insufficient to cover all of the Registrable Securities" if at any time the
number of shares of Common Stock available for resale under the Registration
Statement is less than the product determined by multiplying (i) the Required
Registration Amount as of such time by (ii) 0.90. The calculation set forth
in
the foregoing sentence shall be made without regard to any limitations on the
conversion of the Debentures or the exercise of the Warrants and such
calculation shall assume that the Debentures are then convertible into shares
of
Common Stock at the then applicable Conversion Rate (as defined in the
Debentures) and that the Warrants are then exercisable for shares of Common
Stock at the then prevailing Exercise Price (as defined in the
Warrants).
f. Effect
of Failure to File and Obtain and Maintain Effectiveness of Registration
Statement.
If (i)
a Registration Statement covering all of the Registrable Securities required
to
be covered thereby and required to be filed by the Company pursuant to this
Agreement is (A) not filed with the SEC on or before the Filing Deadline (a
"Filing
Failure")
or (B)
not declared effective by the SEC on or before the 30th
day
after the Effectiveness Deadline (an "Effectiveness
Failure")
or
(ii) on any day after the Effective Date sales of all of the Registrable
Securities required to be included on such Registration Statement cannot be
made
for more than five (5) Business Days (other than during an Allowable Grace
Period (as defined in Section 3(r)) pursuant to such Registration Statement
(including, without limitation, because of a failure to keep such Registration
Statement effective, to disclose such information as is necessary for sales
to
be made pursuant to such Registration Statement or to register a sufficient
number of shares of Common Stock) (a "Maintenance
Failure")
then,
as partial relief for the damages to any holder by reason of any such delay
in
or reduction of its ability to sell the underlying shares of Common Stock (which
remedy shall not be exclusive of any other remedies available at law or in
equity), the Company shall pay to each holder of Registrable Securities relating
to such Registration Statement an amount in cash equal to one and one-half
percent (1.5%) of the aggregate Purchase Price (as such term is defined in
the
Securities Purchase Agreement) of such Investor's Registrable Securities
included in such Registration Statement on each of the following dates: (i)
the
day of a Filing Failure and on every thirtieth day (pro rated for periods
totaling less than thirty (30) days) thereafter until such Filing Failure is
cured; (ii) the day of an Effectiveness Failure and on every thirtieth day
(pro
rated for periods totaling less than thirty (30) days) thereafter until such
Effectiveness Failure is cured; and (iii) the initial day of a Maintenance
Failure and on every thirtieth day (pro rated for periods totaling less than
thirty (30) days) thereafter until such Maintenance Failure is cured. The
payments to which a holder shall be entitled pursuant to this Section 2(f)
are
referred to herein as "Registration
Delay Payments."
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Investor shall be entitled to a Registration
Delay Payment if the Filing Failure, Effectiveness Failure or Maintenance
Failure, as applicable, for which such Registration Delay Payments would
otherwise be payable are the result of the failure of (A) such Investor to
provide the Company with information reasonably requested by the Company and
necessary to complete, amend or supplement the Registration Statement or (B)
Legal Counsel to timely deliver any comments or objections to the Registration
Statement to the Company in accordance with Section 3(c). Registration Delay
Payments shall be paid on the earlier of (I) the last day of the calendar month
during which such Registration Delay Payments are incurred and (II) the third
Business Day after the event or failure giving rise to the Registration Delay
Payments is cured. In the event the Company fails to make Registration Delay
Payments in a timely manner, such Registration Delay Payments shall bear
interest at the rate of one percent (1.0%) per month (prorated for partial
months) until paid in full.
3. Related
Obligations.
At
such
time as the Company is obligated to file a Registration Statement with the
SEC
pursuant to Section 2(a), 2(d) or 2(e), the Company will use its best efforts
to
effect the registration of the Registrable Securities in accordance with the
intended method of disposition thereof and, pursuant thereto, the Company shall
have the following obligations:
a. The
Company shall submit to the SEC, within two (2) Business Days after the Company
learns that no review of a particular Registration Statement will be made by
the
staff of the SEC or that the staff has no further comments on a particular
Registration Statement, as the case may be, a request for acceleration of
effectiveness of such Registration Statement to a time and date not later than
48 hours after the submission of such request. The
Company shall use best efforts to keep each Registration Statement effective
pursuant to Rule 415 at all times until the earlier of (i) the date as of which
the Investors may sell all of the Registrable Securities covered by such
Registration Statement without restriction pursuant to Subsection (k) of Rule
144 promulgated under the 1933 Act (or any successor rule thereto, "Rule
144")
or
(ii) the date on which the Investors shall have sold all of the Registrable
Securities covered by such Registration Statement (the "Registration
Period").
The
Company shall use best efforts to ensure that each Registration Statement
(including any amendments or supplements thereto and prospectuses contained
therein) shall not 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 (in the case of prospectuses, in the light of the
circumstances in which they were made) not misleading.
b. The
Company shall prepare and file with the SEC such amendments (including
post-effective amendments) and supplements to a Registration Statement and
the
prospectus used in connection with such Registration Statement, which prospectus
is to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 promulgated under the 1933 Act, as may
be
necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective at all times during
the
Registration Period, and, during such period, comply with the provisions of
the
1933 Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities of the
Company covered by such Registration Statement in accordance with the intended
methods of disposition by the seller or sellers thereof as set forth in such
Registration Statement. In the case of amendments and supplements to a
Registration Statement which are required to be filed pursuant to this Agreement
(including pursuant to this Section 3(b)) by reason of the Company filing a
report on Form 10-Q, Form 10-K or any other periodic report pursuant to the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934
Act"),
the
Company shall have incorporated such report by reference into such Registration
Statement, if applicable, or shall file such amendments or supplements with
the
SEC on the same day on which the 1934 Act report is filed which created the
requirement for the Company to amend or supplement such Registration
Statement.
c. The
Company shall (A) permit Legal Counsel to review and comment upon (i) a
Registration Statement at least five (5) Business Days prior to its filing
with
the SEC and (ii) all amendments and supplements to all Registration Statements
filed pursuant to this Agreement (except for periodic reports filed pursuant
to
the 0000 Xxx) within a reasonable number of days prior to their filing with
the
SEC, and (B) not file any Registration Statement or amendment or supplement
thereto in a form to which Legal Counsel reasonably objects. The Company shall
not submit a request for acceleration of the effectiveness of a Registration
Statement or any amendment or supplement thereto without the prior approval
of
Legal Counsel, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or
conditioned. The Company shall furnish to Legal Counsel, without charge, (i)
copies of any correspondence from the SEC or the staff of the SEC to the Company
or its representatives relating to any Registration Statement, (ii) promptly
after the same is prepared and filed with the SEC, one copy of any Registration
Statement and any amendment(s) thereto, including financial statements and
schedules, all documents incorporated therein by reference, if requested by
an
Investor, and all exhibits and (iii) upon the effectiveness of any Registration
Statement, one copy of the prospectus included in such Registration Statement
and all amendments and supplements thereto (except for periodic reports
incorporated by reference into such Registration Statements). The Company shall
reasonably cooperate with Legal Counsel in performing the Company's obligations
pursuant to this Section 3.
d. The
Company shall furnish to each Investor whose Registrable Securities are included
in any Registration Statement, without charge, (i) promptly after the same
is
prepared and filed with the SEC, at least one copy of such Registration
Statement and any amendment(s) thereto, including financial statements and
schedules, all documents incorporated therein by reference, if requested by
such
Investor, all exhibits and each preliminary prospectus, (ii) upon the
effectiveness of any Registration Statement, ten (10) copies of the prospectus
included in such Registration Statement and all amendments and supplements
thereto (except for periodic reports incorporated by reference into such
Registration Statements) (or such other number of copies as such Investor may
reasonably request) and (iii) such other documents, including copies of any
preliminary or final prospectus, as such Investor may reasonably request from
time to time in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable
Securities owned by such Investor.
e. The
Company shall use its best efforts to (i) register and qualify, unless an
exemption from registration and qualification applies, the resale by Investors
of the Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement under such
other securities or "blue sky" laws of all applicable jurisdictions in the
United States, (ii) prepare and file in those jurisdictions, such amendments
(including post-effective amendments) and supplements to such registrations
and
qualifications as may be necessary to maintain the effectiveness thereof during
the Registration Period, (iii) take such other actions as may be necessary
to
maintain such registrations and qualifications in effect at all times during
the
Registration Period and (iv) take all other actions reasonably necessary or
advisable to qualify the Registrable Securities for sale in such jurisdictions;
provided,
however,
that
the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition
thereto to (x) qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not
otherwise be required to qualify but for this Section 3(e), (y) subject itself
to general taxation in any such jurisdiction or (z) file a general consent
to
service of process in any such jurisdiction. The Company shall promptly notify
Legal Counsel and each Investor who holds Registrable Securities of the receipt
by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the
registration or qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale
under the securities or "blue sky" laws of any jurisdiction in the United States
or its receipt of actual notice of the initiation or threatening of any
proceeding for such purpose.
f. The
Company shall notify Legal Counsel and each Investor whose Registrable
Securities are included in any Registration Statement in writing of the
happening of any event, as promptly as practicable after becoming aware of
such
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
omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary
to
make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which
they
were made, not misleading (provided that in no event shall such notice contain
any material, nonpublic information), and, subject to Section 3(m), promptly
prepare a supplement or amendment to such Registration Statement to correct
such
untrue statement or omission, and deliver ten (10) copies of such supplement
or
amendment to Legal Counsel and each such Investor (or such other number of
copies as Legal Counsel or such Investor may reasonably request). The Company
shall also promptly notify Legal Counsel and each such Investor in writing
(i)
when a prospectus or any prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment
has
been filed (other than the filing of any periodic report pursuant to the 1934
Act), and when a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment has
become effective (notification of such effectiveness shall be delivered to
Legal
Counsel and each Investor by facsimile on the same day of such effectiveness
and
by overnight mail), (ii) of any request by the SEC for amendments or supplements
to a Registration Statement or related prospectus or related information, and
(iii) of the Company's reasonable determination that a post-effective amendment
to a Registration Statement would be appropriate.
g. The
Company shall use its best efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order
or
other suspension of effectiveness of a Registration Statement, or the suspension
of the qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any
jurisdiction and, if such an order or suspension is issued, to obtain the
withdrawal of such order or suspension at the earliest possible moment and
to
notify Legal Counsel and each Investor who holds Registrable Securities being
sold of the issuance of such order and the resolution thereof or its receipt
of
actual notice of the initiation or threat of any proceeding for such
purpose.
h. If
any
Investor is required under applicable securities law to be described in the
Registration Statement as an underwriter and which is otherwise conducting
diligence of the sort that an underwriter would conduct, at the reasonable
request of any Investor, the Company shall furnish to such Investor, on the
date
of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement and thereafter from time
to
time on such dates as an Investor may reasonably request (i) a letter, dated
such date, from the Company's independent certified public accountants in form
and substance as is customarily given by independent certified public
accountants to underwriters in an underwritten public offering, addressed to
the
Investors, and (ii) an opinion, dated as of such date, of counsel representing
the Company for purposes of such Registration Statement, in form, scope and
substance as is customarily given in an underwritten public offering, addressed
to the Investors.
i. Upon
the
written request of any Investor in connection with any Investor's due diligence
requirements, if any, and other than records, documents and properties of the
Company the provision of which would (A) compromise the ability of the Company
to assert a privilege motion or (B) result in a violation of any confidentiality
obligation of the Company to any Person other than the Buyers (including,
without limitation, confidentiality obligations to Dow), the Company shall
make
available for inspection by (i) any Investor, (ii) Legal Counsel and (iii)
one
firm of accountants or other agents retained by the Investors (collectively,
the
"Inspectors"),
all
pertinent financial and other records, and pertinent corporate documents and
properties of the Company (collectively, the "Records"),
as
shall be reasonably deemed necessary by each Inspector, and cause the Company's
officers, directors and employees to supply all information which any Inspector
may reasonably request; provided, however, that each Inspector shall agree
to
hold in strict confidence and shall not make any disclosure (except to an
Investor) or use of any Record or other information which the Company determines
in good faith to be confidential, and of which determination the Inspectors
are
so notified, unless (a) the disclosure of such Records is necessary to avoid
or
correct a misstatement or omission in any Registration Statement or is otherwise
required under the 1933 Act, (b) the release of such Records is ordered pursuant
to a final, non-appealable subpoena or order from a court or government body
of
competent jurisdiction, or (c) the information in such Records has been made
generally available to the public other than by disclosure in violation of
this
or any other agreement of which the Inspector has knowledge. Each Investor
agrees that it shall, upon learning that disclosure of such Records is sought
in
or by a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction or through other
means, give prompt notice to the Company and allow the Company, at its expense,
to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of, or to obtain a
protective order for, the Records deemed confidential. Nothing herein (or in
any
other confidentiality agreement between the Company and any Investor) shall
be
deemed to limit the Investors' ability to sell Registrable Securities in a
manner which is otherwise consistent with applicable laws and
regulations.
j. The
Company shall hold in confidence and not make any disclosure of information
concerning an Investor provided to the Company unless (i) disclosure of such
information is necessary to comply with federal or state securities laws or
is
otherwise required to be included in a Registration Statement (or any amendments
or supplements thereto), (ii) the disclosure of such information is necessary
to
avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in any Registration Statement,
(iii)
the release of such information is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other
final, non-appealable order from a court or governmental body of competent
jurisdiction or (iv) such information has been made generally available to
the
public other than by disclosure in violation of this Agreement or any other
agreement to which the Company is bound. The Company agrees that it shall,
upon
learning that disclosure of such information concerning an Investor is sought
in
or by a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction or through other
means, give prompt written notice to such Investor and allow such Investor,
at
the Investor's expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure
of, or to obtain a protective order for, such information.
k. The
Company shall use its best efforts either to cause all of the Registrable
Securities covered by a Registration Statement to be listed for quotation on
The
NASDAQ Capital Market (the "Capital
Market")
of the
National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. Automated Quotation System
("Nasdaq")
or, if
the Common Stock is no longer quoted on the Capital Market, secure listing
and
quotation of all of the Registrable Securities covered by a Registration
Statement on any national securities exchange or quotation services on which
the
Common Stock is listed or quoted. The Company shall pay all fees and expenses
in
connection with satisfying its obligation under this Section 3(k).
l. [INTENTIONALLY
OMITTED]
m. The
Company shall cooperate with the Investors who hold Registrable Securities
being
offered and, to the extent applicable, facilitate the timely preparation and
delivery of certificates (not bearing any restrictive legend) representing
the
Registrable Securities to be offered pursuant to a Registration Statement and
enable such certificates to be in such denominations or amounts, as the case
may
be, as the Investors may reasonably request and registered in such names as
the
Investors may request.
n. If
requested by an Investor, the Company shall (i) as soon as practicable
incorporate in a prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment such
information as an Investor reasonably requests to be included therein relating
to the sale and distribution of Registrable Securities, including, without
limitation, information with respect to the number of Registrable Securities
being offered or sold, the purchase price being paid therefor and any other
terms of the offering of the Registrable Securities to be sold in such offering;
(ii) as soon as practicable make all required filings of such prospectus
supplement or post-effective amendment after being notified of the matters
to be
incorporated in such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment; and
(iii) as soon as practicable, supplement or make amendments to any Registration
Statement if reasonably requested by an Investor holding any Registrable
Securities.
o. The
Company shall use its best efforts to cause the Registrable Securities covered
by a Registration Statement to be registered with or approved by such other
governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary to consummate the
disposition of such Registrable Securities in the United States.
p. The
Company shall make generally available to its security holders as soon as
practical, but not later than ninety (90) days after the close of the period
covered thereby, an earnings statement (in form complying with, and in the
manner provided by, the provisions of Rule 158 under the 0000 Xxx) covering
a
twelve-month period beginning not later than the first day of the Company's
fiscal quarter next following the effective date of a Registration
Statement.
q. The
Company shall otherwise use its best efforts to comply with all applicable
rules
and regulations of the SEC in connection with any registration
hereunder.
r. Within
two (2) Business Days after a Registration Statement which covers Registrable
Securities is ordered effective by the SEC, the Company shall deliver, and
shall
cause legal counsel for the Company to deliver, to the transfer agent for such
Registrable Securities (with copies to the Investors whose Registrable
Securities are included in such Registration Statement) confirmation that such
Registration Statement has been declared effective by the SEC in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit
A.
s. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, at any time after the Registration Statement
has been declared effective by the SEC, the Company may delay the disclosure
of
material, non-public information concerning the Company the disclosure of which
at the time is not, in the good faith opinion of the Board of Directors of
the
Company and its counsel, in the best interest of the Company and, in the opinion
of counsel to the Company, otherwise required (a "Grace
Period");
provided, that the Company shall promptly (i) notify the Investors in writing
of
the existence of material, non-public information giving rise to a Grace Period
(provided that in each notice the Company will not disclose the content of
such
material, non-public information to the Investors) and the date on which the
Grace Period will begin, and (ii) notify the Investors in writing of the date
on
which the Grace Period ends; and, provided further, that no Grace Period shall
exceed ten (10) consecutive days and during any three hundred sixty five (365)
day period such Grace Periods shall not exceed an aggregate of thirty (30)
days
and the first day of any Grace Period must be at least two (2) trading days
after the last day of any prior Grace Period (each, an "Allowable
Grace Period").
For
purposes of determining the length of a Grace Period above, the Grace Period
shall begin on and include the date the Investors receive the notice referred
to
in clause (i) and shall end on and include the later of the date the Investors
receive the notice referred to in clause (ii) and the date referred to in such
notice. The provisions of Section 3(g) hereof shall not be applicable during
the
period of any Allowable Grace Period. Upon expiration of the Grace Period,
the
Company shall again be bound by the first sentence of Section 3(f) with respect
to the information giving rise thereto unless such material, non-public
information is no longer applicable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary,
the Company shall cause its transfer agent to deliver unlegended shares of
Common Stock to a transferee of an Investor in accordance with the terms of
the
Securities Purchase Agreement in connection with any sale of Registrable
Securities with respect to which an Investor has entered into a contract for
sale, and delivered a copy of the prospectus included as part of the applicable
Registration Statement (unless an exemption from such prospectus delivery
requirements exists), prior to the Investor's receipt of the notice of a Grace
Period and for which the Investor has not yet settled.
4. Obligations
of the Investors.
a. Upon
the
execution of this Agreement, each Investor shall deliver to the Company an
executed Selling Stockholder Questionnaire, substantially in the form set forth
as Exhibit C hereto, and at least five (5) Business Days prior to the first
anticipated filing date of a Registration Statement, the Company shall notify
each Investor in writing of the additional information the Company requires
from
each such Investor if such Investor elects to have any of such Investor's
Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement. It shall be
a
condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to complete the
registration pursuant to this Agreement with respect to the Registrable
Securities of a particular Investor that such Investor shall furnish to the
Company such information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held
by it
and the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Securities held by
it
as shall be reasonably required to effect the effectiveness of the registration
of such Registrable Securities and shall execute such documents in connection
with such registration as the Company may reasonably request.
b. Each
Investor, by such Investor's acceptance of the Registrable Securities, agrees
to
cooperate with the Company as reasonably requested by the Company in connection
with the preparation and filing of any Registration Statement hereunder, unless
such Investor has notified the Company in writing of such Investor's election
to
exclude all of such Investor's Registrable Securities from such Registration
Statement.
c. Each
Investor agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the
happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3(g) or the first
sentence of 3(f), such Investor will immediately discontinue disposition of
Registrable Securities pursuant to any Registration Statement(s) covering such
Registrable Securities until such Investor's receipt of the copies of the
supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 3(g) or the first
sentence of 3(f) or receipt of notice that no supplement or amendment is
required. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Company shall cause
its
transfer agent to deliver unlegended shares of Common Stock to a transferee
of
an Investor in accordance with the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement
in
connection with any sale of Registrable Securities with respect to which an
Investor has entered into a contract for sale and delivered a copy of the
prospectus included as part of the applicable Registration Statement (unless
an
exemption from such prospectus delivery requirements exists) prior to the
Investor's receipt of a notice from the Company of the happening of any event
of
the kind described in Section 3(g) or the first sentence of 3(f) and for which
the Investor has not yet settled.
d. Each
Investor covenants and agrees that it will comply with the prospectus delivery
requirements of the 1933 Act as applicable to it or an exemption therefrom
in
connection with sales of Registrable
Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement.
5. Expenses
of Registration.
All
reasonable expenses, other than underwriting discounts and commissions and
as
provided in the second sentence of this Section 5, incurred in connection with
registrations, filings or qualifications pursuant to Sections 2 and 3,
including, without limitation, all registration, listing and qualifications
fees, printers and accounting fees, and fees and disbursements of counsel for
the Company, shall be paid by the Company. The Company shall reimburse the
Investors for the fees and disbursements of Legal Counsel in connection with
registration, filing or qualification pursuant to Sections 2 and 3 of this
Agreement which amount shall be limited to $10,000 in the
aggregate.
6. Indemnification.
In
the
event any Registrable Securities are included in a Registration Statement under
this Agreement:
a. To
the
fullest extent permitted by law, the Company will, and hereby does, indemnify,
hold harmless and defend each Investor, the
directors, officers, members, partners, employees, agents, representatives
of,
and each Person,
if any,
who controls any Investor within the meaning of the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act
(each, an "Indemnified
Person"),
against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, judgments, fines, penalties,
charges, costs, reasonable attorneys' fees, amounts paid in settlement or
expenses, joint or several, (collectively, "Claims")
incurred in investigating, preparing or defending any action, claim, suit,
inquiry, proceeding, investigation or appeal taken from the foregoing by or
before any court or governmental, administrative or other regulatory agency,
body or the SEC, whether pending or threatened, whether or not an indemnified
party is or may be a party thereto ("Indemnified
Damages"),
to
which any of them may become subject insofar as such Claims (or actions or
proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out
of
or are based upon: (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of
a
material fact in a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment
thereto or in any filing made in connection with the qualification of the
offering under the securities or other "blue sky" laws of any jurisdiction
in
which Registrable Securities are offered ("Blue
Sky Filing"),
or
the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, (ii) any
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in
any
preliminary prospectus if used prior to the effective date of such Registration
Statement, or contained in the final prospectus (as amended or supplemented,
if
the Company files any amendment thereof or supplement thereto with the SEC)
or
the omission or alleged omission to state therein any material fact necessary
to
make the statements made therein, in the light of the circumstances under which
the statements therein were made, not misleading, or (iii) any violation or
alleged violation by the Company of the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act, any other law,
including, without limitation, any state securities law, or any rule or
regulation thereunder relating to the offer or sale of the Registrable
Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement (the matters in the foregoing
clauses (i) through (iii) being, collectively, "Violations").
Subject to Section 6(c), the Company shall reimburse the Indemnified Persons,
promptly as such expenses are incurred and are due and payable, for any legal
fees or other reasonable expenses incurred by them in connection with
investigating or defending any such Claim. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, the indemnification agreement contained in this
Section 6(a): (i) shall not apply to a Claim by an Indemnified Person arising
out of or based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity
with information furnished in writing to the Company by such Indemnified Person
for such Indemnified Person expressly for use in connection with the preparation
of the any prospectus, a Registration Statement, a Blue Sky Filing or any such
amendment thereof or supplement thereto, if a prospectus was timely made
available by the Company pursuant to Section 3(d); and (ii) shall not apply
to
amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without
the prior written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed. Such indemnity shall remain in full force
and
effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified
Person and shall survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities by the
Investors pursuant to Section 9.
b. In
connection with any Registration Statement in which an Investor is
participating, each such Investor agrees to severally and not jointly indemnify,
hold harmless and defend, to the same extent and in the same manner as is set
forth in Section 6(a), the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers
who signs the Registration Statement and each Person, if any, who controls
the
Company within the meaning of the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act (each, an
"Indemnified
Party"),
against any Claim or Indemnified Damages to which any of them may become
subject, under the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act or otherwise, insofar as such Claim
or
Indemnified Damages 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 furnished to the Company by
such
Investor expressly for use in connection with such Registration Statement;
and,
subject to Section 6(c), such Investor will reimburse any legal or other
expenses reasonably incurred by an Indemnified Party in connection with
investigating or defending any such Claim; provided, however, that the indemnity
agreement contained in this Section 6(b) and the agreement with respect to
contribution contained in Section 7 shall not apply to amounts paid in
settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written
consent of such Investor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld
or
delayed; provided, further, however, that such Investor shall be liable under
this Section 6(b) for only that amount of a Claim or Indemnified Damages as
does
not exceed the net proceeds to such Investor as a result of the sale of
Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement. Such indemnity
shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made
by or
on behalf of such Indemnified Party and shall survive the transfer of the
Registrable Securities by the Investors pursuant to Section 9.
c. Promptly
after receipt by an Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party under this Section
6
of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding (including any
governmental action or proceeding) involving a Claim, such Indemnified Person
or
Indemnified Party shall, if a Claim in respect thereof is to be made against
any
indemnifying party under this Section 6, deliver to the indemnifying party
a
written notice of the commencement thereof and specifying in reasonable detail
the factual basis of the Claim, 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 control of the
defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the indemnifying party
and
the Indemnified Person or the Indemnified Party, as the case may be;
provided,
however,
that an
Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its
own
counsel with the fees and expenses of not more than one counsel for such
Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party to be paid by the indemnifying party,
if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel retained by the indemnifying party
reasonably satisfactory to the indemnifying party, the representation by counsel
of the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party and the indemnifying party would
be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such
Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party and any other party represented by
such
counsel in such proceeding. In the case of an Indemnified Person, legal counsel
referred to in the immediately preceding sentence shall be selected by the
Investors holding at least a majority in
interest of the Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement
to
which the Claim relates. The Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person shall
cooperate fully with the indemnifying party in connection with any negotiation
or defense of any such action or Claim by the indemnifying party and shall
furnish to the indemnifying party all information reasonably available to the
Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person which relates to such action or Claim.
The indemnifying party shall keep the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person
reasonably apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any
settlement negotiations with respect thereto. 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 or Indemnified Person, 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 or Indemnified Person 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 and remedies
of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person with respect to all third
parties, firms or corporations relating to the matter for which indemnification
has been made. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party
within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall not
relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the Indemnified Person
or
Indemnified Party under this Section 6, except to the extent that the
indemnifying party is prejudiced in its ability to defend such
action.
d. 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 (with accompanying detail of services rendered and
imbursements incurred) or Indemnified Damages are incurred.
e. The
indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to (i) any cause
of
action or similar right of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person against
the indemnifying party or others, and (ii) any liabilities the indemnifying
party may be subject to pursuant to the law.
7. Contribution.
To
the
extent any indemnification by an indemnifying party is prohibited or limited
by
applicable law, public policy or otherwise, the indemnifying party agrees to
make the maximum contribution with respect to any amounts for which it would
otherwise be liable under Section 6 to the fullest extent permitted by law;
provided,
however,
that:
(i) no Person involved in the sale of Registrable Securities, which Person
is
guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f)
of
the 0000 Xxx) in connection with such sale, shall be entitled to contribution
from any Person involved in such sale of Registrable Securities who was not
guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation; and (ii) contribution by any seller
of
Registrable Securities shall be limited in amount to the net amount of proceeds
received by such seller from the sale of such Registrable Securities pursuant
to
such Registration Statement.
8. Reports
Under the 1934 Act.
With
a
view to making available to the Investors the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated
under the 1933 Act or any other similar rule or regulation of the SEC that
may
at any time permit the Investors to sell securities of the Company to the public
without registration ("Rule
144"),
the
Company agrees to:
a. make
and
keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined
in
Rule 144;
b. file
with
the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the
Company under the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act so long as the Company remains
subject to such requirements and the filing of such reports and other documents
is required for the applicable provisions of Rule 144; and
c. furnish
to each Investor so long as such Investor owns Registrable Securities, promptly
upon request, (i) a written statement by the Company, if true, that it has
complied with the reporting requirements of Rule 144, the 1933 Act and the
1934
Act, (ii) a copy of the most recent annual report of the Company and such other
reports and documents so filed by the Company and (iii) such other information
as may be reasonably requested to permit the Investors to sell such securities
pursuant to Rule 144 without registration; provided,
that
the Company shall not be obligated to deliver to any Investor any information
that is filed by the Company with the SEC and is available on
XXXXX.
9. Assignment
of Registration Rights.
The
rights under this Agreement shall be automatically assignable by the Investors
to any transferee of all or any portion of such Investor's Registrable
Securities if: (i) the Investor agrees in writing with the transferee or
assignee to assign such rights and a copy of such agreement is furnished to
the
Company promptly after such assignment; (ii) the Company is, promptly after
such
transfer or assignment, furnished with written notice of (a) the name and
address of such transferee or assignee and (b) the securities with respect
to
which such registration rights are being transferred or assigned; (iii)
immediately following such transfer or assignment the further disposition of
such securities by the transferee or assignee is restricted under the 1933
Act
and applicable state securities laws; (iv) at or before the time the Company
receives the written notice contemplated by clause (ii) of this sentence the
transferee or assignee agrees in writing with the Company to be bound by all
of
the provisions contained herein; and (v) such transfer shall have been made
in
accordance with the applicable requirements of the Securities Purchase
Agreement.
10. Amendment
of Registration Rights.
Provisions
of this Agreement may be amended and the observance thereof may be waived
(either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or
prospectively), only with the written consent of the Company and the Required
Holders. Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this Section 10
shall be binding upon each Investor and the Company. No such amendment shall
be
effective to the extent that it applies to less than all of the holders of
the
Registrable Securities. No consideration shall be offered or paid to any Person
to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of any of
this
Agreement unless the same consideration also is offered to all of the parties
to
this Agreement.
11. Miscellaneous.
a. A
Person
is deemed to be a holder of Registrable Securities whenever such Person owns
or
is deemed to own of record such Registrable Securities. If the Company receives
conflicting instructions, notices or elections from two or more Persons with
respect to the same Registrable Securities, the Company shall act upon the
basis
of instructions, notice or election received from the such record owner of
such
Registrable Securities.
b. Any
notices, consents, waivers or other communications required or permitted to
be
given under the terms of this Agreement must be in writing and will be deemed
to
have been delivered: (i) upon receipt, when delivered personally; (ii) upon
receipt, when sent by facsimile (provided confirmation of transmission is
mechanically or electronically generated and kept on file by the sending party);
or (iii) one (1) Business Day after deposit with a nationally recognized
overnight delivery service, in each case properly addressed to the party to
receive the same. The addresses and facsimile numbers for such communications
shall be:

If
to a
Buyer, to its address and facsimile number set forth on the Schedule of Buyers
attached hereto, with copies to such Buyer's representatives as set forth on
the
Schedule of Buyers, or to such other address and/or facsimile number and/or
to

written notice given to each other party five (5) days prior to the
effectiveness of such change. Written confirmation of receipt (A) given by
the
recipient of such notice, consent, waiver or other communication, (B)
mechanically or electronically generated by the sender's facsimile machine
containing the time, date, recipient facsimile number and an image of the first
page of such transmission or (C) provided by a courier or overnight courier
service shall be rebuttable evidence of personal service, receipt by facsimile
or receipt from a nationally recognized overnight delivery service in accordance
with clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above, respectively.
c. Failure
of any party to exercise any right or remedy under this Agreement or otherwise,
or delay by a party in exercising such right or remedy, shall not operate as
a
waiver thereof.
d. All
questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation
of this Agreement shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of New
York, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision
or
rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdictions) that would
cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions other than the State
of
New York. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction
of
the state and federal courts sitting in The City of New York, Borough of
Manhattan, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection
herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and
hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or
proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction
of
any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an
inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is
improper. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process
and
consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by
mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address for such notices to it
under
this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient
service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed
to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law.
If any provision of this Agreement shall be invalid or unenforceable in any
jurisdiction, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the validity
or enforceability of the remainder of this Agreement in that jurisdiction or
the
validity or enforceability of any provision of this Agreement in any other
jurisdiction. EACH
PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE, AND AGREES NOT TO
REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN
CONNECTION HEREWITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION
CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
e. This
Agreement, the other Transaction Documents (as defined in the Securities
Purchase Agreement) and the instruments referenced herein and therein constitute
the entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter
hereof and thereof. There are no restrictions, promises, warranties or
undertakings, other than those set forth or referred to herein and therein.
This
Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and the instruments referenced herein
and therein supersede all prior agreements and understandings among the parties
hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof.
f. Subject
to the requirements of Section 9, this Agreement shall inure to the benefit
of
and be binding upon the permitted successors and assigns of each of the parties
hereto.
g. The
headings in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall
not
limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof.
h. This
Agreement may be executed in identical counterparts, each of which shall be
deemed an original but all of which shall constitute one and the same agreement.
This Agreement, once executed by a party, may be delivered to the other party
hereto by facsimile transmission of a copy of this Agreement bearing the
signature of the party so delivering this Agreement.
i. Each
party shall do and perform, or cause to be done and performed, all such further
acts and things, and shall execute and deliver all such other agreements,
certificates, instruments and documents, as any other party may reasonably
request in order to carry out the intent and accomplish the purposes of this
Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated
hereby.
j. All
consents and other determinations required to be made by the Investors pursuant
to this Agreement shall be made, unless otherwise specified in this Agreement,
by the Required Holders.
k. The
language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by
the
parties to express their mutual intent and no rules of strict construction
will
be applied against any party.
l. This
Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective
permitted successors and assigns, and is not for the benefit of, nor may any
provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person.
m. The
obligations of each Investor hereunder are several and not joint with the
obligations of any other Investor, and no provision of this Agreement is
intended to confer any obligations on any Investor vis-à-vis any other Investor.
Nothing contained herein, and no action taken by any Investor pursuant hereto,
shall be deemed to constitute the Investors as a partnership, an association,
a
joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the
Investors are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such
obligations or the transactions contemplated herein.
