APPENDIX A
Registration Rights
1. The Company agrees that if, at any time following the date of this Agreement and while the provisions of this Appendix remain in effect, the Board of Directors of the Company shall authorize the filing of a registration statement on Form S-1 or Form S-3 (any such registration statement being hereinafter called a “Registration Statement”) under the Act in connection with a proposed underwritten public offering of Company Common Stock effected on behalf of the Company solely for cash, the Company will promptly notify Xx. Xxxxxxx that such Registration Statement will be filed and that the Securities that are then held by Xx. Xxxxxxx (the “Xxxxxxx Shares”), will, at Xx. Xxxxxxx’x request, be included in such Registration Statement, and (ii) upon the written request of Xx. Xxxxxxx within 15 days after the giving of such notice by the Company, include in the securities covered by such Registration Statement all Xxxxxxx Shares which it has been so requested to include.
2. The Company shall pay all expenses incurred in connection with any Registration Statement, other than underwriting discounts or fees, applicable transfer taxes relating to Xxxxxxx Shares and the fees and expenses of counsel for Xx. Xxxxxxx.
3. The Company shall not be required to include in such registration any Xxxxxxx Shares held by Xx. Xxxxxxx unless Xx. Xxxxxxx agrees to the terms of the underwriting agreement between the Company and the managing underwriter of such offering, which agreement may require that any shares of Company capital stock owned by Xx. Xxxxxxx be withheld from the market by Xx. Xxxxxxx for a period of time after the effective date of the registration statement by which such public offering is being effected. Furthermore, the Company shall be obligated to include in such registration only the quantity of Xxxxxxx Shares, if any, as will not, in the opinion of the managing underwriter, jeopardize the success of the offering by the Company. If the managing underwriter for the offering advises the Company in writing that the total amount of securities sought to be registered by Xx. Xxxxxxx and other shareholders of the Company having similar registration rights as of the date thereof (collectively, the “Company Shareholders”) exceeds the amount of securities that can be offered without adversely affecting the offering by the Company, then the Company may reduce the number of shares to be registered by Company for the Company Shareholders, including the Xxxxxxx Shares requested to be included therein, to a number satisfactory to such managing underwriter, which number may be zero. Any such reduction shall be pro rata, based upon the percentage that the shares requested to be included in the Registration Statement by each Company Shareholder constitutes of the total number of shares requested to be included therein on behalf of the Company Shareholders.
4. The Company shall not be obligated to register any Xxxxxxx Shares pursuant to this Appendix A at any time when the resale provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act are available to Xx. Xxxxxxx for the sale of the Xxxxxxx Shares.
