16
Section 5.06 The Acquisition of Bridgeway Common Shares.
Bridgeway and Dragons understand and agree that the consummation of this Agreement including the issuance of the Bridgeway common shares to the Dragons Shareholders in exchange for the Dragons Shares as contemplated hereby constitutes the offer and sale of securities under the Securities Act and applicable state statutes. Bridgeway and Dragons agree that such transactions shall be consummated in reliance on exemptions from the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of such statutes, which depend, among other items, on the circumstances under which such securities are acquired.
(a) In connection with the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, Bridgeway and Dragons shall each file, with the assistance of the other and their respective legal counsel, such notices, applications, reports, or other instruments as may be deemed by them to be necessary or appropriate in an effort to document reliance on such exemptions, and the appropriate regulatory authority in the states where the shareholders of Dragons reside unless an exemption requiring no filing is available in such jurisdictions, all to the extent and in the manner as may be deemed by such parties to be appropriate.
(b) In order to more fully document reliance on the exemptions as provided herein, Dragons, the Dragons Shareholders, and Bridgeway shall execute and deliver to the other, at or prior to the Closing, such further letters of representation, acknowledgment, suitability, or the like as Dragons or Bridgeway and their respective counsel may reasonably request in connection with reliance on exemptions from registration under such securities laws.
(c) The Dragons Shareholders acknowledge that the basis for relying on exemptions from registration or qualifications are factual, depending on the conduct of the various parties, and that no legal opinion or other assurance will be required or given to the effect that the transactions contemplated hereby are in fact exempt from registration or qualification.
Section 5.07 Majority Shareholder Registration Rights and Lock-up Agreement.
(a) If at any time after the date hereof, and prior to the date 18 months subsequent to the date hereof, Bridgeway proposes to register any Bridgeway common stock under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), for sale to the public for cash (and not for issuance and sale pursuant to an S-8 Registration Statement for securities issued to employees and consultants for compensation for services to Bridgeway, or in connection with an acquisition of another company or business or in connection with any other registration that does not allow the registration of secondary sales), Bridgeway shall give written notice to the Majority Shareholder of its intention so to do at least 20 days prior to filing the related registration statement (the "Registration Statement"). Upon the written request of Majority Shareholder, given within 10 days after receipt of any such notice, to register up to 560,000 common shares of Bridgeway, which represents one third of the shares of Bridgeway held by the Majority Shareholder as of the date of this Agreement, (“Registrable Shares”), Bridgeway shall use its best efforts to cause all Registrable Shares, as to which registration shall have been so requested, to be included in the securities to be covered by the Registration Statement, all to the extent requisite to permit the sale or other disposition by Majority Shareholder of the Registrable Shares requested to be so registered; provided, however, that:
17
(i) If, at any time after giving such written notice of its intention to register any securities and prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement, Bridgeway shall determine for any reason not to register such securities, Bridgeway may, at its election, give written notice of such determination to Majority Shareholder, and thereupon Bridgeway shall be relieved of its obligation to register any Registrable Shares in connection with such registration;
(ii) If such registration involves an underwritten offering, Majority Shareholder must sell its Registrable Shares to the underwriters selected by the Bridgeway on the same terms and conditions as apply to Bridgeway (except as otherwise agreed to by Bridgeway in writing); and
(iii) Bridgeway shall be obligated to keep the Registration Statement effective only for nine months after its initial effective date.
The number of Registrable Shares to be included in an underwritten offering may be reduced, pro rata among all Bridgeway's stockholders selling shares in the offering, in a ratio equal to the respective amounts of shares proposed to be sold by such stockholders, if and to the extent that the managing underwriter shall advise Majority Shareholder and Bridgeway by letter of its belief that the number of securities requested to be registered exceeds the number that can be sold in (or during the term of) such offering without adversely affecting the marketing of the securities to be sold by Bridgeway.
(b) In connection with the registration provided for hereunder, Majority Shareholder shall use reasonable efforts to cooperate with Bridgeway and shall furnish to Bridgeway in writing such information with respect to it and its proposed distribution as shall be reasonably necessary in order to assure compliance with federal and applicable state securities laws.
(c) Bridgeway shall pay all expenses incurred by Bridgeway in complying with its registration obligations pursuant to this Agreement, including, without limitation, all registration, qualification, and filing fees, blue sky fees and expenses, printing expenses, fees and disbursements of counsel and independent public accountants for the Bridgeway, all expenses of the underwriter customarily paid by issuers or sellers of securities (including fees of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc.), transfer taxes, escrow fees, fees of transfer agents and registrars, and costs of insurance. Majority Shareholder shall pay all underwriting discounts and selling commissions applicable to the sale of the Registrable Shares being registered.
18
(d) If the Majority Shareholder has Registrable Shares registered pursuant to the terms of Section 5.07 (a) – (c) above (the “Registration Statement”), from and after the date of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement (the “Effective Date”) and through and including the six month anniversary of the Effective Date (the “Lock-up Period,” and the date on the last day of the Lock-up Period, the “End Date”), the Majority Shareholder irrevocably agrees that, except as set forth below, it will not offer, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, or announce the offering of, any of the Registrable Shares registered in the Registration Statement (“Lock-up Shares”) (including any securities convertible into, or exchangeable for, or representing the rights to receive, Lock-up Shares) or engage in any Short Sales with respect to any security of Bridgeway (the “Transfer Restrictions”). In furtherance thereof, Bridgeway will (x) place a stop order with the Transfer Agent on all Lock-up Shares (y) notify its transfer agent in writing of the stop order and the restrictions on such Lock-up Shares under this Agreement and direct the transfer agent not to process any attempts by the Majority Shareholder to resell or transfer any Lock-up Shares except in compliance with this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Majority Shareholder may transfer any Lock-up Shares by (a) bona fide gift or (b) will or intestate succession to his or her immediate family or to a trust the sole beneficiaries of which are one or more of the undersigned and his or her immediate family (the term "immediate family" meaning for these purposes the spouse, domestic partner, lineal descendant, father, mother or sibling of the undersigned), provided that each resulting transferee of such Lock-up Shares executes and delivers to Bridgeway an agreement satisfactory to Bridgeway certifying that such transferee is bound by the terms of this Agreement and has been in compliance with the terms hereof since the date first above written as if it had been an original party hereto. For purposes hereof, “Short Sales” include, without limitation, all “short sales” as defined in Rule 200 promulgated under Regulation SHO under the Exchange Act and all types of direct and indirect stock pledges, forward sale contracts, options, puts, calls, swaps and similar arrangements (including on a total return basis), and sales and other transactions through non-US broker dealers or foreign regulated brokers.
Section 5.08 Payment of Liabilities.
Recognizing the need to extinguish all existing liabilities of Bridgeway prior to the Exchange, Dragons has indicated it will not enter into this Agreement unless Bridgeway has arranged for the payment and discharge of all of Bridgeway’s liabilities, including all of Bridgeway’s accounts payable and any outstanding legal fees incurred prior to the Closing Date. Accordingly, Bridgeway has agreed to arrange for the payment and discharge of all such liabilities.
Section 5.09 Assistance with Post-Closing SEC Reports and Inquiries.
Upon the reasonable request of Bridgeway, after the Closing Date, the Majority Shareholder shall use his reasonable best efforts to provide such information available to it, including information, filings, reports, financial statements or other circumstances of Bridgeway occurring, reported or filed prior to the Closing, as may be necessary or required by Bridgeway for the preparation of the reports that Bridgeway is required to file after Closing with the SEC to remain in compliance and current with its reporting requirements under the Exchange Act, or filings required to address and resolve matters as may relate to the period prior to Closing and any SEC comments relating thereto or any SEC inquiry thereof.
