ARTICLE 8
PIGGY-BACK REGISTRATION RIGHTS
(a) For a period of twenty-four (24) months following the Closing Date, the Company shall notify the Purchaser in writing at least twenty (20) days prior the filing of any registration statement under Securities Act, in connection with a public offering of shares of the Company’s common stock (including, but not limited to, registration statements relating to secondary offerings of securities of the Company but excluding any registration statements (i) on Form S-4 or S-8 (or any successor or substantially similar form), or of any employee stock option, stock purchase or compensation plan or of securities issued or issuable pursuant to any such plan, or a dividend reinvestment plan, (ii) otherwise relating to any employee, benefit plan or corporate reorganization or other transactions covered by Rule 145 promulgated under the Securities Act, or (iii) on any registration form that does not permit secondary sales or does not include substantially the same information as would be required to be included in a registration statement covering the resale of the Shares and the Warrant Shares) and will afford the Purchaser an opportunity to include in such registration statement all or part of the Incentive Shares, Warrant Shares and Default Shares held by or issuable to the Purchaser. In the event the Purchaser desires to include in any such registration statement all or any part of the Incentive Shares, Warrant Shares or Default Shares, the Purchaser shall within ten (10) days after the above-described notice from the Company, so notify the Company in writing, including the number of such Incentive Shares, Warrant Shares and Default Shares that the Purchaser wishes to include in such registration statement. If the Purchaser decides not to include all of its Incentive Shares, Warrant Shares and Default Shares in any registration statement thereafter filed by the Company, the Purchaser shall nevertheless continue to have the right to include any Incentive Shares, Warrant Shares and Default Shares in any subsequent registration statement or registration statements as may be filed by the Company with respect to the offering of the securities, all upon the terms and conditions set forth herein.
14
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the managing underwriter or underwriters of any such proposed public offering advise the Company that the total amount or kind of securities that the Purchaser, the Company and any other persons intended to be included in such proposed public offering is sufficiently large to adversely affect the success of such proposed public offering, then the amount or kind of securities to be offered for the various parties wishing to have shares of the Company’s common stock registered shall be included in the following order:
(i) if the Company proposes to register treasury shares or authorized but unissued shares of its common stock (collectively, “Primary Securities”):
(A) first, the Primary Securities;
(B) second, the Incentive Shares, Warrant Shares and Default Shares requested to be included in such registration statement, together with shares of its common stock that do not constitute Incentive Shares, Warrant Shares, Default Shares or Primary Securities (“Other Securities”) held by parties exercising similar piggy-back registration rights (or if necessary, such Incentive Shares, Warrant Shares, Default Shares and Other Securities pro rata among the holders thereof based upon the number of such Incentive Shares, Warrant Shares, Default Shares and Other Securities requested to be registered by each such holder).
(ii) if the Company proposes to register Other Securities:
(A) first, the Other Securities requested to be included in such registration by holders exercising demand registration rights;
(B) second, the Incentive Shares, Warrant Shares and Default Shares requested to be included in such registration, together with Other Securities held by parties exercising similar piggy-back registration rights (or if necessary, such Incentive Shares, Warrant Shares, Default Shares and Other Securities pro rata among the holders thereof based upon the number of such Incentive Shares, Warrant Shares, Default Shares and Other Securities requested to be registered by each such holder).
Anything to the contrary in this Subscription notwithstanding, the Company may withdraw or postpone a registration statement referred to herein (a “Registration Statement”) at any time before it becomes effective or withdraw, postpone or terminate the offering after it becomes effective without obligation to the Purchaser.
15
(c) In connection with its obligation under this Article 8, the Company will (i) furnish to the Purchaser without charge, at least one copy of any effective registration statement and any post-effective amendments thereto, including financial statements and schedules, and, if the Purchaser so requests in writing, all documents incorporated therein by reference and all exhibits (including those incorporated by reference) in the form filed with the SEC; and (ii) deliver to the Purchaser and the underwriters, if any, without charge, as many copies of the then effective prospectus included in the registration statement, as the same may be amended or supplemented (including such prospectus subject to completion) (the “Prospectus”), and any amendments or supplements thereto as such persons may reasonably request.
(d) As a condition to the inclusion of its Incentive Shares, Warrant Shares and Default Shares, the Purchaser shall furnish to the Company such information regarding the Purchaser and the distribution proposed by the Purchaser as the Company may request in writing or as shall be required in connection with any registration, qualification or compliance referred to in this Subscription.
(e) The Purchaser agrees by acquisition of the Incentive Shares, Warrant Shares and Default Shares that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event that, in the good faith judgment of the Company’s Board of Directors, requires the suspension of the Purchaser’s rights under this Article 8, the Purchaser will forthwith discontinue disposition of the Incentive Shares, Warrant Shares and Default Shares pursuant to the then current Prospectus until the Purchaser is advised in writing by the Company that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed. If so directed by the Company, on the happening of such event, the Purchaser will deliver to the Company (at the Company’s expense) all copies, other than permanent file copies then in the Purchaser’s possession, of the Prospectus covering the Incentive Shares, Warrant Shares and Default Shares at the time of receipt of such notice.
(f) While any Registration Statement is effective, the Purchaser hereby covenants with the Company (i) not to make any sale of Incentive Shares, Warrant Shares and Default Shares without effectively causing the prospectus delivery requirements under the Securities Act to be satisfied, and (ii) if such Incentive Shares, Warrant Shares and Default Shares are to be sold by any method or in any transaction other than on a national securities exchange or in the over-the-counter market, in privately negotiated transactions, or in a combination of such methods, to notify the Company at least 5 business days prior to the date on which the Purchaser first offers to sell any such Incentive Shares, Warrant Shares and Default Shares.
(g) The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the Incentive Shares, Warrant Shares and Default Shares sold pursuant to a registration statement described in this Article 8 are not transferable on the books of the Company unless the stock certificate submitted to the transfer agent evidencing the Incentive Shares, Warrant Shares and Default Shares is accompanied by a certificate reasonably satisfactory to the Company to the effect that (x) the Incentive Shares, Warrant Shares and Default Shares have been sold in accordance with such registration statement and (y) the requirement of delivering a current Prospectus has been satisfied.
16
(h) The Purchaser shall not take any action with respect to any distribution deemed to be made pursuant to such registration statement that would constitute a violation of Regulation M under the Exchange Act, or any other applicable rule, regulation or law.
(i) Upon the expiration of the effectiveness of any registration statement described in this Article 8, the Purchaser shall discontinue sales of the Incentive Shares, Warrant Shares and Default Shares pursuant to such registration statement upon receipt of notice from the Company of the Company’s intention to remove from registration the Incentive Shares, Warrant Shares and Default Shares covered by such registration statement that remain unsold, and the Purchaser shall notify the Company of the number of registered Incentive Shares, Warrant Shares and Default Shares that remain unsold immediately upon receipt of such notice from the Company.
(j) In the case of the registration of any underwritten primary offering initiated by the Company (other than any registration by the Company on Form S-4 or Form S-8 (or any successor or substantially similar form), or of (i) an employee stock option, stock purchase or compensation plan or of securities issued or issuable pursuant to any such plan, or (ii) a dividend reinvestment plan) or any underwritten secondary offering initiated at the request of a holder of securities of the Company pursuant to registration rights granted by the Company, the Purchaser agrees not to effect any public sale or distribution of securities of the Company, except as part of such underwritten registration, during the period beginning fifteen (15) days prior to the closing date of such underwritten offering and during the period ending ninety (90) days after such closing date (or such longer period as may be reasonably requested by the Company or by the managing underwriter or underwriters).
(k) Anything to the contrary contained in this Subscription notwithstanding, when, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, registration of the Incentive Shares, Warrant Shares and Default Shares is not required by the Securities Act, in connection with a proposed sale of such Incentive Shares, Warrant Shares and Default Shares, the Purchaser shall have no rights pursuant to this Article 8. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Purchaser shall have no rights pursuant to this Article 8 at such time as all of the Purchaser’s Incentive Shares, Warrant Shares and Default Shares may be sold without limitation pursuant to Rule 144.
