Pointer's Obligations. At such time as Pointer is obligated to file a Registration Statement with the SEC pursuant to this Agreement, Pointer shall, use its best efforts to effect the registration of the Pointer Shares and without derogation from its undertakings and obligations herein shall have the following obligations:
|
|
5.2.1
|
Pointer shall submit to the SEC, promptly after it learns that no review of a particular Registration Statement will be made by the staff of the SEC or that the staff of the SEC has no further comments on a particular Registration Statement, as the case may be, and after receiving the approval of the Sellers pursuant to Section 5.2.3 below, a request for acceleration of effectiveness of such Registration Statement to a time and date not later than 96 hours after the submission of such request. Pointer shall keep each Registration Statement effective at all times until the earlier of (i) the date as of which the Sellers may sell all of the Pointer Shares without restriction pursuant to Rule 144 (or successor thereto) promulgated under the 1933 Act or (ii) the date on which the Sellers shall have sold all the Pointer Shares (the "Registration Period"). Pointer shall 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.
|
|
5.2.2
|
Pointer shall prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection with such Registration Statement as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such Registration Statement.
|

|
Pointer shall permit Sellers 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 (except for amendments and supplements relating to Annual Reports on Form 20-F, and Current Reports on Form 6-K and any similar or successor reports) if practicable prior to their filing with the SEC. Pointer shall not submit a request for acceleration of the effectiveness of a Registration Statement without the prior approval of the Sellers, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
|
|
5.2.4
|
Pointer shall notify the Sellers 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 a 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 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, promptly prepare a supplement or amendment to such Registration Statement to correct such untrue statement or omission. Pointer shall also promptly notify the Sellers in writing (i) when a prospectus or any prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment has been filed, and when a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment has become effective (notification of such effectiveness shall be delivered to the Sellers promptly after the date of effectiveness), (ii) of any request by the SEC for amendments or supplements to a Registration Statement or related prospectus or related information, and (iii) of Pointer's reasonable determination that a post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement would be appropriate.
|
|
5.2.5
|
Pointer 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 Pointer Shares for sale in any jurisdiction and, if such an order or suspension is issued, to use its best efforts to obtain the withdrawal of such order or suspension at the earliest possible moment and to notify the Seller who holds Pointer Shares 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.
|
7

|
Pointer shall hold in confidence and not make any disclosure of information concerning the Sellers provided to it unless (i) disclosure of such information is necessary to comply with federal or state securities laws or other applicable rules and regulations, (ii) the disclosure of such information is necessary or desirable 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. Pointer agrees that it shall, upon learning that disclosure of such information concerning the Seller is sought in or by a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction or through other means, give prompt written notice to the Sellers and allow the Sellers, solely at the their expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of, or to obtain a protective order for, such information.
|
|
5.2.7
|
Pointer shall cooperate with the Sellers and, to the extent applicable, facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates (not bearing any restrictive legend) representing the Pointer Shares 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 Seller may reasonably request.
|
|
5.2.8
|
Pointer shall otherwise use its best efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC in connection with the registration hereunder.
|
|

|
Promptly after the Registration Statement (which covers the Pointer Shares) is ordered effective by the SEC, the Pointer shall deliver, and shall cause its legal counsel to deliver, to the transfer agent for such shares (with copies to the Seller whose shares are included in such Registration Statement) confirmation that such Registration Statement has been declared effective by the SEC.
|
|
5.2.10
|
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, at any time after the Registration Statement has been declared effective by the SEC, Pointer may delay the disclosure of material non-public information concerning Pointer the disclosure of which at the time is not, in the good faith opinion of the Board of Directors of Pointer and its counsel, in the best interest Pointer and, in the opinion of counsel to Pointer, otherwise required (a "Grace Period"); provided, that Pointer shall promptly (i) notify the Sellers in writing of the existence of a Grace Period in conformity with the provisions of this Section 5.2.10 (provided that in each notice Pointer will not disclose the content of such material non-public information to the Sellers) and the date on which the Grace Period will begin, and (ii) notify the Sellers 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 Sellers receive the notice referred to in clause (i) and shall end on and include the later of the date the Sellers receive the notice referred to in clause (ii) and the date referred to in such notice. The provisions of Section 5.2.4 hereof shall not be applicable during the period of any Allowable Grace Period. Upon expiration of the Grace Period, Pointer shall again be bound by the first sentence of Section 5.2.4 with respect to the information giving rise thereto unless such material non-public information is no longer applicable.
|
8
|
5.2.11
|
All obligations under this Section 5 shall cease and be of no further effect on the earlier of such date that (i) each Seller may sell all of the Pointer Shares without restriction pursuant to Rule 144 (or successor thereto) under the 1933 Act or (ii) the date on which the Sellers shall have sold all the Pointer Shares.
|
|
5.3
