who were Insiders at any time during the previous two (2) years), or any Affiliates (as defined below) thereof, or with any individual related by blood, marriage, or adoption to any such individual (any such action an “Insider Transaction”), unless (i) such Insider Transaction is on terms that are not materially less favorable to the Company than those that could have been obtained in a comparable transaction by the Company with an unrelated party and (ii) the Company delivers to the Subscribers, with respect to any Insider Transaction or series of related Insider Transactions involving aggregate payments or consideration in excess of $100,000, a resolution of the Board of Directors certifying that such Insider Transaction complies with clause (i) above and that such Affiliate Transaction has been approved by a majority of the independent members of the Board of Directors. “Affiliate” for purposes of this Section 7(k) means, with respect to any person or entity, another person or entity that, directly or indirectly, (w) has a ten percent (10%) or more equity interest in that person or entity, (x) has ten percent (10%) or more common ownership with that person or entity, (y) controls that person or entity, or (z) shares common control with that person or entity. “Control” or “Controls” for purposes hereof means that a person or entity has the power, direct or indirect, to conduct or govern the policies of another person or entity. For purposes hereof, “Insiders” shall mean any officer, director or manager of the Company, including but not limited to the Company’s president, chief executive officer, chief financial officer and chief operations officer, and any of their affiliates or family members.
8. Indemnification.
(a) The Company will indemnify and hold harmless the Subscriber and, where applicable, its directors, managers, members, officers, employees, agents, advisors and shareholders, from and against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever (including, but not limited to, any and all fees, costs and expenses whatsoever reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any claim, lawsuit, administrative proceeding or investigation whether commenced or threatened) (a “Loss”) arising out of or based upon any representation or warranty of the Company contained herein or in any of the other Transaction Documents being untrue in any material respect or any breach or failure by the Company to comply with any covenant or agreement made by the Company to the Subscriber herein or in any of the other Transaction Documents.
(b) Each Subscriber will indemnify and hold harmless the Company and, where applicable, its directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors, affiliates and shareholders, and each other person, if any, who controls any of the foregoing from and against any and all Loss arising out of or based upon any representation or warranty of such Subscriber contained herein or in any document furnished by such Subscriber to the Company in connection herewith being untrue in any material respect or any breach or failure by such Subscriber to comply with any covenant or agreement made by such Subscriber herein or therein; provided, however, that a Subscriber shall not be liable for any Loss that in the aggregate exceeds such Subscriber’s aggregate Purchase Price paid in the Offering.
(c) The procedures set forth in Secton 9.5 shall apply to the indemnification set forth in this Xxxxxx 0.
9.1. Piggy-Back Registration Rights. The Company hereby grants the following registration rights to holders of the Securities.
(i) As used herein, “Registrable Securities” means the Conversion Shares issued and/or issuable upon conversion of all of the Notes and the Warrant Shares issued and/or issuable upon exercise of all of the Warrants; provided, however, that Registrable Securities shall not include securities which (A) are registered for resale in an effective registration statement, (B) are included for registration in a pending registration statement, (C) have been issued without further transfer restrictions after a sale or transfer pursuant to Rule 144 under the 1933 Act or (D) which may be immediately and perpetually resold under Rule 144 without volume limitations.
(ii) If the Company at any time proposes to register any of its securities under the 1933 Act for sale to the public, whether for its own account or for the account of other security holders or both, except with respect to registration statements on Forms X-0, X-0 or another form not available for registering the Registrable Securities for sale to the public, it will give at least ten (10) days’ prior written notice to the record holder of the Registrable Securities of its intention so to do. Upon the written request of the holder, received by the Company within ten (10) days after the giving of any such notice by the Company, to register any of the Registrable Securities not previously registered, the Company will cause such Registrable Securities as to which registration shall have been so requested to be included with the securities to be covered by the registration statement proposed to be filed by the Company, all to the extent required to permit the sale or other disposition of the Registrable Securities so registered by the holders of such Registrable Securities (the “Seller” or “Sellers”). In the event that any registration pursuant to this Secton 9.1(ii) shall be, in whole or in part, an underwritten public offering of common stock of the Company, the number of shares of Registrable Securities to be included in such an underwriting may be reduced by the managing underwriter if and to the extent that the Company and the underwriter shall reasonably be of the opinion that such inclusion would adversely affect the marketing of the securities to be sold by the Company therein; provided, however, that the Company shall notify the Seller in writing of any such reduction; and provided, further, that any such reduction shall be made to all Sellers and others exercising similar piggy-back registration rights on a pro rata basis, in accordance with the number of shares requested to be included in such registration statement by such persons. The Company may withdraw or delay or suffer a delay of any registration statement referred to in this Secton 9.1 without thereby incurring liability to any Seller.
9.2. Registration Procedures. If and whenever the Company is required by the provisions of Secton 9.1 to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities under the 1933 Act, the Company will, as expeditiously as possible:
(a) Promptly provide to the holders of the Registrable Securities copies of all filings and Commission letters of comment and notify the Sellers (by telecopier and by e-mail addresses provided by the Subscribers) on or before the second business day thereafter that the Company receives notice that (i) the Commission has no comments or no further comments on the registration statement, and (ii) the registration statement has been declared effective;
(b) furnish to each Seller, at the Company’s expense, such number of copies of the registration statement and the prospectus included therein (including each preliminary prospectus) as such Seller reasonably may request in order to facilitate the public sale or disposition of the Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement, or make such materials electronically available;
(c) use its reasonable best efforts to register or qualify the Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement under the securities or “blue sky” laws of New York and such jurisdictions as the Sellers shall request in writing, provided, however, that the Company shall not for any such purpose be required to qualify generally to transact business as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction where it is not so qualified or to consent to general service of process in any such jurisdiction;
(d) list the Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement with any securities exchange on which the Common Stock of the Company is then listed;
(e) notify the Sellers within twenty-four (24) hours of the happening of any event of which the Company has knowledge as a result of which the prospectus contained in such registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing or which becomes subject to a Commission, state or other governmental order suspending the effectiveness of the registration statement covering any of the Registrable Securities;
(f) provide to the Sellers copies of the Registration Statement and amendments thereto five (5) business days prior to the filing thereof with the Commission.
9.3. Provision of Documents. In connection with each registration described in this Xxxxxx 0, each Seller will furnish to the Company in writing such information and representation letters with respect to itself and the proposed distribution by it as the Company may reasonably request.
9.4. Expenses. All expenses incurred by the Company in complying with Xxxxxx 0, including, without limitation, all registration and filing fees, printing expenses (if required), fees and disbursements of counsel and independent public accountants for the Company, fees and expenses (including reasonable counsel fees) incurred in connection with complying with state securities or “blue sky” laws, fees of FINRA, transfer taxes, and fees of transfer agents and registrars, are called “Registration Expenses.” All underwriting discounts and selling commissions applicable to the sale of Registrable Securities are called “Selling Expenses.” The Company will pay all Registration Expenses in connection with any registration statement described in Xxxxxx 0. Selling Expenses in connection with each such registration statement shall be borne by the Sellers and any other persons selling securities under such registration statement and shall be apportioned among such persons in proportion to the number of shares included in the registration statement for sale by such person relative to the aggregate number of shares included in such registration statement.
9.5. Indemnification and Contribution.
(a) In the event of a registration of any Registrable Securities under the 1933 Act pursuant to Xxxxxx 0, the Company will, to the extent permitted by law, indemnify and hold harmless the Seller, each of the officers, directors, agents, Affiliates, members, managers, control persons, and principal shareholders of the Seller, each underwriter of such Registrable Securities thereunder and each other person, if any, who controls such Seller or underwriter within
the meaning of the 1933 Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which the Seller, or such underwriter or controlling person may become subject under the 1933 Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any registration statement under which such Registrable Securities was registered under the 1933 Act pursuant to Xxxxxx 0, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereof, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances when made, and will subject to the provisions of Secton 9.5(c) reimburse the Seller, each such underwriter and each such controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable to the Seller to the extent that any such damages arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or omission made in any preliminary prospectus if (i) the Seller failed to send or deliver a copy of the final prospectus delivered by the Company to the Seller with or prior to the delivery of written confirmation of the sale by the Seller to the person asserting the claim from which such damages arise, (ii) the final prospectus would have corrected such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or such omission or alleged omission, or (iii) to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission so made in conformity with information furnished by any such Seller in writing specifically for use in such registration statement or prospectus.
(b) In the event of a registration of any of the Registrable Securities under the 1933 Act pursuant to Xxxxxx 0, each Seller severally but not jointly will, to the extent permitted by law, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the 1933 Act, each officer of the Company who signs the registration statement, each director of the Company, each underwriter and each person who controls any underwriter within the meaning of the 1933 Act, against all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which the Company or such officer, director, underwriter or controlling person may become subject under the 1933 Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the registration statement under which such Registrable Securities were registered under the 1933 Act pursuant to Xxxxxx 0, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereof, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse the Company and each such officer, director, underwriter and controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the Seller will be liable hereunder in any such case if and only to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with information pertaining to such Seller, as such, furnished in writing to the Company by such Seller specifically for use in such registration statement or prospectus, and provided, further, however, that the liability of the Seller hereunder shall be limited to the greater of (a) the aggregate purchase price paid for the securities included in such registration statement on behalf of such Seller (including, the
portion of the Purchase Price and, in the case of Warrant Shares, the aggregate exercise price paid to acquire such securities from the Company), and (b) the net proceeds actually received by the Seller from the sale of such securities pursuant to such registration statement.
(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party hereunder of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party hereunder, notify the indemnifying party in writing thereof, but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to such indemnified party except to the extent that the indemnifying party is actually prejudiced by such delay or omission. In case any such action shall be brought against any indemnified party and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in and, to the extent it shall wish, to assume and undertake the defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party, and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume and undertake the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party under this Secton 9.5(c) for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation and of liaison with counsel so selected; provided, however, that, if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnifying party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be reasonable defenses available to indemnified party which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party or if the interests of the indemnified party reasonably may be deemed to conflict with the interests of the indemnifying party, the indemnified parties, as a group, shall have the right to select one separate counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified and indemnifying party, and to assume such legal defenses and otherwise to participate in the defense of such action, with the reasonable expenses and fees of such separate counsel and other expenses related to such participation to be reimbursed by the indemnifying party as incurred.
(d) In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in the event of joint liability under the 1933 Act in any case in which either (i) a Seller, or any controlling person of a Seller, makes a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Secton 9.5 but it is judicially determined (by the entry of a final judgment or decree by a court of competent jurisdiction and the expiration of time to appeal or the denial of the last right of appeal) that such indemnification may not be enforced in such case notwithstanding the fact that this Secton 9.5 provides for indemnification in such case, or (ii) contribution under the 1933 Act may be required on the part of the Seller or controlling person of the Seller in circumstances for which indemnification is not provided under this Secton 9.5; then, and in each such case, the Company and the Seller will contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which they may be subject (after contribution from others) in such proportion so that the Seller is responsible only for the portion represented by the percentage that the public offering price of its securities offered by the registration statement bears to the public offering price of all securities offered by such registration statement; provided, however, that, in any such case, no person or entity guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 0000 Xxx) will be entitled to contribution from any person or entity who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation; and provided, further, that the liability of the Seller hereunder shall be limited to the greater of (a) the aggregate purchase price paid for the securities included in such registration statement on behalf of such Seller (including, the portion of the Purchase Price and, in the case of Warrant Shares, the aggregate exercise price paid to acquire such securities from the Company), and (b) the net
proceeds actually received by the Seller from the sale of such securities pursuant to such registration statement.
10. Common Shares.
(a) Equal Treatment of Common Stock. In connection with (i) any Fundamental Change (as defined in the Notes) with respect to the Company’s voting common shares (“Common Stock”) or the convertible Preferred Stock, (ii) any reclassification or other change of the Common Stock or the Preferred Stock into securities of any other class or classes, or (iii) any stock split, combination or dividend with respect to the Common Stock or the Preferred Stock (each of (i), (ii) and (iii), an “Equivalency Event”), the Company shall cause the converted Preferred Stock to be treated the same as the Common Stock. Without limiting the foregoing, following any Equivalency Event whereby Common Stock is exchanged for any other securities (whether of the Company or of a different issuer), the securities exchanged for shares of converted Preferred Stock shall be of the same class and series (or classes and series), and shall have identical voting and other rights, as the securities exchanged for shares of Common Stock.
(b) Exchange of Common Stock at Holders’ Option. If, at any time, there be a number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock that are not reserved for other purposes in excess of the number of Warrant Shares and Conversion Shares issued and issuable upon exercise of all of the Warrants and conversion of all of the Notes (“Exchange Authorization Sufficiency”), then and thereafter the Company shall permit the holders of shares of converted Preferred Stock exchanged such shares for shares Common Stock on a one-to-one basis, and the Company shall promptly notify the holders of Warrant Shares, Conversion Shares, Warrants and Notes of (i) the existence of Exchange Authorization Sufficiency; and (ii) the right of holders of Class B Common Stock to exchange it for Class A Common Stock in accordance with this Section 10(b).
