APPENDIX III
REGISTRATION RIGHTS
Certain Additional Definitions. Capitalized terms used in this Appendix and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement to which this Appendix III is attached. This Appendix III constitutes a binding agreement between the Issuer and the Subscriber (including the Subscriber’s successors and assigns).
1. | Registration. |
1.1 Initial Registration. The Issuer shall prepare and file or cause to be prepared and filed with the SEC no later than sixty (60) days after the Closing Date (the “Filing Deadline Date”) a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “U.S. Securities Act”) on the appropriate form (the “Initial Registration Statement”) registering the resale from time to time by Holder of all of the Common Shares and Common Shares acquirable upon exercise of the Warrants, and any security issued with respect thereto upon any stock dividend split, merger or similar event, held or acquired by Holder and any Common Shares issued as liquidated damages under the Subscription Agreement or this Letter (collectively, the “Registrable Securities”). The Issuer shall use its best efforts to cause the Initial Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act no later than the date (the “Effectiveness Deadline Date”) that is one hundred twenty (120) days after the Closing Date. The Registration Statement may include securities of other security holders or may be combined with one or more previously filed Registration Statements.
(a) Piggy-Back Registrations.
(i) Each time that the Issuer proposes for any reason to register any of its Common Shares under the Securities Act in connection with the proposed offer and sale of its Common Shares for either for its own account or on behalf of any other security holders (a “Proposed Registration”) on a form which is suitable for an offering for cash of shares of the Issuer held by third parties and which is not a registration solely to implement an employee benefit plan, a registration statement on Form S-4 (or successor form) or a transaction to which Rule 145 or any other similar rule of the SEC is applicable, the Issuer shall promptly give written notice of such proposed registration to Holder and shall offer Holder the right to request inclusion of the Registrable Securities held by such holders in the Proposed Registration; provided that such Registrable Securities cannot be immediately sold pursuant to an effective Registration Statement, Rule 144, or Rule 144(k) promulgated under the Securities Act (or successor thereto).
(ii) Holder shall have 20 days from the receipt of such notice to deliver to the Issuer a written request specifying the number of Registrable Securities Holder intends to sell and such Holder’s intended method of disposition.
(iii) In the event that the Proposed Registration is, in whole or in part, an underwritten public offering, the Issuer shall so advise Holder as part of the written notice given pursuant to paragraph 2.I(b)(i) of this Letter, and any request under 2.I(b)(ii) must specify that the Registrable Securities be included in the underwriting on the same terms and conditions as the Common Shares, if any, otherwise being sold through underwriters under such registration.
(iv) In the event that the offering is to be an underwritten offering, Holder agrees to enter into a customary underwriting agreement with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting by the Issuer should Holder elect to distribute Registrable Securities in such underwriting.
13
(v) Notwithstanding the foregoing if, in its good faith judgment, the managing underwriter determines and advises the Issuer in writing that the inclusion of all Registrable Securities proposed to be included in the underwritten public offering, together with any other Common Shares proposed to be included therein other than Registrable Securities (such other shares collectively the “Other Shares”), would interfere with the successful marketing of such securities, then the number of shares that are entitled to be included in the registration and underwriting shall be allocated in the following manner: (A) first, securities the Issuer proposes to sell for its own account, (B) second, Registrable Securities, pro rata among the Purchasers in the Offering, if applicable, on the basis of the number of shares for which each such Purchaser has requested registration, and (C) third, Other Shares, pro rata among the respective holders thereof on the basis of the number of shares for which each such requesting holder has requested registration.
(b) The Issuer shall keep the Initial Registration Statement and any other registration statement required to be filed hereunder (collectively, the “Registration Statements”) effective pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act at all times until the earlier of(i) the second anniversary of the effective date or the date as of which Holder may sell all of the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement without restriction pursuant to Rule 144(k) promulgated under the Securities Act (or successor thereto) assuming for this purpose, whether or not Holder is or becomes an affiliate of the Issuer, that Holder is not an affiliate of the Issuer and (ii) the date on which Holder shall have sold all the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statements (the “Registration Period”). The Registration Statements (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 light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading.
(c) The Issuer 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 Securities 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 Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities of the Issuer covered by such Registration Statement until such time as all of such Registrable Securities shall have been disposed of in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the seller or sellers thereof as set forth in such Registration Statement or until such time as the Issuer is no longer required to maintain for effectiveness of the Registration Statement.
(d) The Issuer shall furnish to Holder 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, all exhibits and each preliminary prospectus, (ii) upon the effectiveness of any Registration Statement, five (5) copies of the prospectus included in such Registration Statement and all amendments and supplements thereto (or such other number of copies as Holder may reasonably request) and (iii) such other documents, including copies of any preliminary or final prospectus, as Holder may reasonably request from time to time in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by Holder.
(e) Except as otherwise exempt or except in jurisdictions that apply merit review standards, the Issuer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) register and qualify the Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement under such other securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions in the United States as Holder reasonably requests, (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 Issuer 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 paragraph 2.1(e), (y) subject itself to general taxation in any such
14
jurisdiction, or (z) file a general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction. The Issuer shall promptly notify Holder of the receipt by the Issuer 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 threat of any proceeding for such purpose.
(f) As promptly as practicable after becoming aware of such event, the Issuer shall notify Holder in writing of the happening of any 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 omits 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, and promptly prepare a supplement or amendment to such Registration Statement to correct such untrue statement or omission, and deliver five (5) copies of such supplement or amendment to Holder (or such other number of copies as Holder may reasonably request). The Issuer shall also promptly notify Holder 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 Holder 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 Issuer’s reasonable determination that a post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement would be appropriate.
(g) The Issuer 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 Holder (and, in the event of an underwritten offering, the managing underwriters) 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) Holder agrees to provide the Issuer information customarily provided by selling shareholders as the Issuer may reasonably request. Holder agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Issuer of the happening of any event of the kind described in Paragraph 2.1(1) or Paragraph 2.1(g), Holder will immediately discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to any Registration Statement(s) covering such Registrable Securities until Holder’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Paragraph 2.1(c) or receipt of notice (the “Advice”) that no supplement or amendment is required and that the use of the applicable Prospectus may be resumed and, if so directed by the Issuer, Holder shall deliver to the Issuer (at the expense of the Issuer) or destroy (and deliver to the Issuer a certificate of destruction) all copies (other than a single file copy, which Holder may keep) in Holder’s possession of the prospectus covering such Registrable Securities current at the time of receipt of such notice.
(i) The Issuer shall make available for inspection by (i) Holder, (ii) legal counsel retained by Holder at the Holder’s expense, (iii) any underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to a Registration Statement, (iv) one firm of accountants or other agents retained by Holder and (v) one firm of attorneys retained by such underwriters (collectively, the “Inspectors”) all pertinent financial and other records, and pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Issuer (collectively, the “Records”), as shall be reasonably deemed necessary by each inspector in connection with the Registration Statement, and cause the Issuer’s officers, directors and employees to supply all information which any Inspector may reasonably request; provided, however, that each Inspector shall hold in strict confidence and shall not make any disclosure (except to Holder) or use of any Records or other information provided by the Issuer hereunder. Holder agrees, and shall cause each Inspector to agree, 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 issuer and allow the Issuer, at its expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of, or to obtain a protective order for, the Records deemed confidential.
15
(j) The Issuer shall hold in confidence and not make any disclosure of information concerning Holder provided to the Issuer unless (i) disclosure of such information is necessary to comply with federal or state securities laws, (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. The Issuer agrees that it shall, upon learning that disclosure of such information concerning Holder is sought in or by a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction or through other means, give prompt written notice to Holder and allow Holder, at Holder’s expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of~ or to obtain a protective order for, such information.
(k) The Issuer shall use its best efforts either to (i) cause all the Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement to be listed on each securities exchange or market on which securities of the same class or series issued by the Issuer are then listed, if any, if the listing of such Registrable Securities is then permitted under the rules of such exchange or market, or (ii) secure the inclusion for quotation on the over-the-counter market on the electronic bulletin board for such Registrable Securities.
(l) The Issuer shall cooperate with Holder and, to the extent applicable, any managing underwriter or underwriters, to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates 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 managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, or, if there is no managing underwriter or underwriters, Holder may reasonably request and registered in such names as the managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, or Holder may request.
(m) Within three (3) business days after a Registration Statement is ordered effective by the SEC, the Issuer shall notify the transfer agent for the Registrable Securities covered thereby that such Registration Statement has been declared effective by the SEC, and shall instruct such transfer agent to remove the restrictive legend from certificates for Registrable Securities owned by Holder if, when and to the extent that the transfer agent receives from Holder written confirmation that such Registrable Securities were sold pursuant to the Registration Statement and that the prospectus delivery requirements have been met. Such instructions will remain at the transfer agent during the Registration Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such instructions may be withdrawn by the Issuer during any periods in which there is not a current Registration Statement.
(n) All reasonable expenses (other than underwriting discounts and commissions and expenses of Inspectors) incurred in connection with registrations, filings or qualifications, including, without limitation, all registration, listing and qualifications fees, printers and accounting fees, and fees and disbursements of counsel for the Issuer shall be paid by the Issuer.
(o) Indemnification
(i) To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Issuer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Holder and its directors, officers, partners, employees, agents and representatives, and each person, if any, who controls Holder within the meaning of the Securities Act or the 1934 Act, and any underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act) (each, an “Indemnified Holder 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 or body or the SEC, whether pending or threatened, whether or not an Indemnified Party is or may be a party thereto, to which any of them may become subject insofar as such Claims arise out of or are based upon: (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact in a Registration Statement under which Holder’s Registrable Securities were registered or any post-effective amendment thereto 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.
16
(ii) Holder shall indemnify and hold harmless the Issuer, its directors, officers, agents and employees, each Person who controls the Issuer (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, agents or employees of such controlling Persons (each, an “Indemnified Issuer Person” and an Indemnified Holder Person and/or an Indemnified Issuer Person, as the case may be, being referred to herein as an “Indemnified Party”), to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against all Claims, as incurred, arising solely out of or based solely upon: (x) Holder’s failure to comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act or (y) any untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, any prospectus, or any form of prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto, or arising solely out of or based solely upon any omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading to the extent, but only to the extent that, (1) such untrue statements or omissions are based solely upon information regarding Holder furnished in writing to the Issuer by Holder expressly for use therein, or to the extent that such information relates to Holder or Holder’s proposed method of distribution of Registrable Securities and was reviewed and expressly approved in writing by Holder expressly for use in the Registration Statement, such prospectus or such form of prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or (2) in the case of an occurrence of an event of the types specified in Paragraph 2.1(1) or Paragraph 2.1(g), the use by Holder of an outdated or defective prospectus after the Issuer has notified Holder in writing that the prospectus is outdated or defective and prior to the receipt by Holder of an Advice or an amended or supplemented prospectus, but only if and to the extent that following the receipt of the Advice or the amended or supplemented prospectus the misstatement or omission giving rise to such Claims would have been corrected. Notwithstanding any other provisions, in no event shall Holder be required to undertake liability to any person for any amount in excess of the dollar amount of the net proceeds to be received by Holder from the sale of such Registrable Securities pursuant to any Registration Statement under which such Registrable Securities are sold.
(iii) The indemnifying party shall reimburse each such Indemnified Party, promptly as such expenses are reasonably incurred and are due and payable, for any reasonable legal fees or reasonable other expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the indemnifying party may otherwise have.
(iv) Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Party under this Paragraph 2.1(o) of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding (including any governmental action or proceeding) involving a Claim, such Indemnified Party shall, if a Claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Paragraph 2.1(o), deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof, 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 Party, as the case may be; provided, however, that an Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if, the Indemnified Party and indemnifying party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be reasonable defenses available to it 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, in which case where the Issuer is the indemnifying party, the Issuer shall pay reasonable fees for only one separate legal counsel for all investors holding Registrable Securities, and such legal counsel shall be selected by the investors holding a majority of the Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement to which the Claim relates. The Indemnified Party 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 which relates to such action or claim. The indemnifying party shall keep the Indemnified Party fully apprised at all times as to the status of
17
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 written consent; provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the Indemnified Party, 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 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 of the Indemnified Party with respect to all third parties, firms or Issuers 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 Party under this Paragraph 2, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is prejudiced in its ability to defend such action.
(p) The rights under this Agreement shall be automatically assignable by Holder to any transferee of all or any portion of Registrable Securities if: (i) Holder agrees in writing with the transferee or assignee to assign such rights, and a copy of such agreement is furnished to the Issuer within a reasonable time after such assignment; (ii) the Issuer is, within a reasonable time 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 Securities Act and applicable state securities laws; (iv) at or before the time the Issuer receives the written notice contemplated by clause (ii) of this sentence the transferee or assignee agrees in writing with the Issuer to be bound by all of the provisions contained herein; (v) the transferee purchases or acquires at least $50,000 of Registrable Securities; and (vi) such transfer shall have been made in accordance with the applicable requirements of, and subject to the restrictions set forth in, the Transaction Documents; provided that the Issuer shall only be required to effect one registration hereunder with respect to any particular Registrable Securities.
1.2 No Monetary Damages. So long as the Issuer has used its best efforts to comply with its registration related obligations that are described in this Appendix III, in no event will the Subscriber or any other Holder be entitled to receive any monetary damages or other damages from the Issuer (i) if the Shares are not registered with the SEC pursuant to an effective registration statement, (ii) if a current prospectus relating to the resale of the Shares is not on file with the SEC, or (iii) if the effectiveness of such registration statement is not maintained for the two-year period described in this Appendix III. The Subscriber and any Holder shall be entitled to all other remedies available at law or equity.
