(a) Use best efforts to, during the period that such registration statement is required to be maintained hereunder, prepare and file such post-effective amendments and supplements thereto as may be required by the Securities Act and the rules and regulations thereunder or otherwise to ensure that the registration statement does not contain any untrue statement of material fact or omit to state a fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements contained therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading; provided, however, that if applicable rules under the Securities Act governing the obligation to file a post-effective amendment permits, in lieu of filing a post-effective amendment that (i) includes any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act or (ii) reflects facts or events representing a material or fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement, the Parent may incorporate by reference information required to be included in (i) and (ii) above to the extent such information is contained in periodic reports filed pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act in the registration statement.
16 |
(b) 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.
(c) Make available for inspection upon reasonable notice during the Parent’s regular business hours by each selling Holder (“Selling Holder”), any underwriter participating in any distribution pursuant to such registration statement, and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by such Selling Holder or underwriter, all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Parent, and cause the Parent’s officers, directors and employees to supply all information reasonably requested by any such Selling Holder, underwriter, attorney, accountant or agent in connection with such registration statement.
(d) Furnish to the Selling Holders such numbers of copies of a final prospectus, in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents as they may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of Registrable Securities owned by them.
(e) Use best efforts to register and qualify the securities covered by such registration statement under such other federal or state securities laws of such jurisdictions as shall be reasonably requested by the Selling Holders; provided, however, that the Parent shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to qualify to do business or to file a general consent to service of process in any such states or jurisdictions, unless the Parent is already subject to service in such jurisdiction and except as may be required by the Securities Act.
(f) In the event of any underwritten public offering, enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary form, with the managing underwriter of such offering. Each Selling Holder participating in such underwriting shall also enter into and perform its obligations under such an agreement.
(g) Notify each Holder of Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement, at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, (i) when the registration statement or any post-effective amendment and supplement thereto has become effective; (ii) of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order or the initiation of proceedings for that purpose (in which event the Parent shall make every effort to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending effectiveness of the registration statement at the earliest possible time or prevent the entry thereof); (iii) of the receipt by the Parent of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation of any proceeding for such purpose; and (iv) of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included 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 the light of the circumstances then existing.
(h) Cause all such Registrable Securities registered hereunder to be listed on each securities exchange or quotation service on which similar securities issued by the Parent are then listed or quoted or, if no such similar securities are listed or quoted on a securities exchange or quotation service, apply for qualification and use best efforts to qualify such Registrable Securities for inclusion on the New York Stock Exchange, American Stock Exchange or listing on a quotation system of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority or the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.
(i) Cooperate with the Selling Holders and the managing underwriters, if any, to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing the Registrable Securities to be sold, which certificates will not bear any restrictive legends; and enable such Registrable Securities to be in such denominations and registered in such names as the managing underwriters, if any, shall request at least five business days prior to any sale of the Registrable Securities to the underwriters.
(j) In connection with an underwritten offering, cause the officers of the Parent to provide reasonable assistance in the preparation of, any “road show” presentation to potential investors as the managing underwriter may determine.
17 |
(k) Comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and make generally available to its security holders earning statements satisfying the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder (or any similar rule promulgated under the Securities Act) no later than 50 calendar days after the end of any 3-month period (or 105 calendar days after the end of any 12-month period if such period is a fiscal year) (i) commencing at the end of any fiscal quarter in which Registrable Securities are sold to underwriters in a firm commitment or best efforts underwritten offering, and (ii) if not sold to underwriters in such an offering, commencing on the first day of the first fiscal quarter of the Parent, after the effective date of a registration statement, which statements shall cover said period.
(l) If the offering is underwritten and at the request of any Selling Holder, use its best efforts to furnish on the date that Registrable Securities are delivered to the underwriters for sale pursuant to such registration: (i) opinions dated such date of counsel representing the Parent for the purposes of such registration, addressed to the underwriters and the transfer agent for the Registrable Securities so delivered, respectively, to the effect that such registration statement has become effective under the Securities Act and such Registrable Securities are freely tradable, and covering such other matters as are customarily covered in opinions of issuer’s counsel delivered to underwriters and transfer agents in underwritten public offerings and (ii) a letter dated such date from the independent public accountants who have certified the financial statements of the Parent included in the registration statement or the prospectus, covering such matters as are customarily covered in accountants’ letters delivered to underwriters in underwritten public offerings.
18 |
(a) To the extent permitted by law, the Parent will indemnify and hold harmless each Selling Holder, any underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act) for such Selling Holder and each person, if any, who controls such Selling Holder or underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, against any losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (joint or several) to which they may become subject under the Securities Act, or the Exchange Act, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any of the following statements, omissions or violations (collectively a “Violation”): (i) any untrue statement of a material fact contained in such registration statement, including any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or any amendments or supplements thereto, (ii) the omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (iii) any violation by the Parent of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act, or the Exchange Act, and the Parent will pay to each such Selling Holder, underwriter or controlling person, as incurred, 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 indemnity agreement contained in this subsection shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Parent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), nor shall the Parent be liable in any such case for any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action to the extent that it arises out of or is based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished expressly for use in connection with such registration by any such Selling Holder, underwriter or controlling person.
(b) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this subsection (i) of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action), such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this subsection (i), 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 notified, to assume the defense thereof with counsel selected by the indemnifying party and approved by the indemnified party (whose approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, however, that an indemnified party (together with all other indemnified parties which may be represented without conflict by one counsel) shall have the right to retain one separate counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if representation of such indemnified party by the counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such indemnified party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action, if prejudicial to its ability to defend such action, shall relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the indemnified party under this subsection (i), but the omission to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this subsection (i).
(c) The obligations of the Parent under this subsection (i) shall survive the completion or termination of the Offering.
(a) file with the SEC all reports and other documents required of the Parent under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act; and
(b) furnish to any Holder, so long as the Holder owns any Registrable Securities, forthwith upon request (i) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Parent and such other reports and documents so filed by the Parent, and (ii) such other information as may be reasonably requested in availing any Holder of any rule or regulation of the SEC which permits the selling of any such securities without registration or pursuant to such form.
