          3.1 Organization. The Company is duly incorporated and validly existing in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Company has full power and authority to own, operate and occupy its properties and to conduct its business as currently conducted and is registered or qualified to do business and in good standing in each jurisdiction in which it owns property or transacts business and where the failure to be so qualified would have a material adverse effect upon the Company and its subsidiaries as a whole or the business, financial condition, properties, operations or assets of the Company and its subsidiaries as a whole or the Company’s ability to perform its obligations under the Agreements in all material respects (“Material Adverse Effect”), and no proceeding has been instituted in any such jurisdiction revoking, limiting or curtailing, or seeking to revoke, limit or curtail, such power and authority or qualification. Except as set forth in the SEC Reports, the Company does not currently own, directly or indirectly, a majority of the stock or other equity interests in any entity (each, a “Subsidiary”). Except for matters which are not reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect, each Subsidiary of the Company has been duly incorporated, formed, or organized, and is validly existing, in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation, formation, or organization, with full power and authority to own its properties and conduct its business as currently conducted.

          3.2 Due Authorization. The Company has all requisite power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Agreements. The execution and delivery of the Agreements, and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action. The Agreements have been

3


 

validly executed and delivered by the Company and constitute legal, valid and binding agreements of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms, except to the extent (i) rights to indemnity and contribution may be limited by state or federal securities laws or the public policy underlying such laws; (ii) such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ and contracting parties’ rights generally and (iii) such enforceability may be subject to general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).
          3.3 No Conflict or Default. The execution and delivery of the Agreements, the issuance and sale of the Shares to be sold by the Company under the Agreements, the fulfillment of the terms of the Agreements and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby will not: (A) result in a conflict with or constitute a material violation of, or material default (with the passage of time or otherwise) under, (i) any material bond, debenture, note, loan agreement or other evidence of indebtedness, or any material indenture, lease, mortgage, deed of trust or any other agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound or to which any of the property or assets of the Company is subject, (ii) the Certificate of Incorporation, by-laws or other organizational documents of the Company, as amended, or, (iii) assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties, and the performance and satisfaction of the covenants and agreements, of the Investors pursuant to the Agreements, any law, administrative regulation, or existing order of any court or governmental agency, or other authority binding upon the Company or the Company’s respective properties; or (B) result in the creation or imposition of any lien, encumbrance, claim, or security interest upon any of the material assets of the Company or an acceleration of indebtedness pursuant to any obligation, agreement or condition contained in any material bond, debenture, note, loan agreement or other evidence of indebtedness, or any material indenture, lease, mortgage, deed of trust or any other agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound or to which any of the property or assets of the Company is subject. Assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties, and the performance and satisfaction of the covenants and agreements, of the Investors pursuant to the Agreements, no consent, approval, authorization or other order of, or registration, qualification or filing with, any regulatory body, administrative agency, or other governmental body is required for the execution and delivery of the Agreements by the Company and the valid issuance or sale of the Shares by the Company pursuant to the Agreements, other than such as have been made or obtained, and except for any filings required to be made under federal or state securities laws.
          3.4 Capitalization. The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of 60,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share, and 5,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Preferred Stock”). As of April 30, 2007, there were issued and outstanding 19,144,441 shares of Common Stock and no shares of Preferred Stock.

The Shares to be sold pursuant to the Agreements have been duly authorized, and when issued and paid for in accordance with the terms of the Agreements, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, subject to no lien, claim or encumbrance (except for any such lien, claim or encumbrance created, directly or indirectly, by the Investor and restrictions on transfer provided by applicable securities laws).
          3.5 Legal Proceedings. There is no legal, administrative, regulatory or governmental proceeding pending, or to the knowledge of the Company, threatened, to which the Company or any Subsidiary is a party or of which the business or property of the Company is subject that is required to be disclosed in the SEC Reports and not disclosed in the SEC Reports in compliance with the applicable provisions of Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. Other than the information disclosed in the SEC Reports, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries are subject to any injunction, judgment, decree or order of any court, regulatory body, administrative agency or other government body that is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

To the knowledge of the Company, it is not in violation of any law, administrative regulation, ordinance or order of any court or governmental agency, arbitration panel or authority applicable to the Company, which violation, individually or in the aggregate, is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

5


 

debenture, note or any other evidence of indebtedness or any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust or any other material agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or by which the Company is bound, which such default is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.
          3.8 Governmental Permits, Etc. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries have all necessary franchises, licenses, certificates and other authorizations from any foreign, federal, state or local government or governmental agency, department or body that are currently necessary for the operation of the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries as currently conducted, except where the failure to currently possess such franchises, licenses, certificates and other authorizations is not reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.
          3.9 Good and Marketable Title to Property. The Company and its Subsidiaries have good and marketable title to, or a valid, subsisting and enforceable interest in, all real properties and all other properties and assets owned or leased by them that are material to the operation of the Company’s business, except as disclosed in the SEC Reports or where the failure to have such title or interest would not individually or in the aggregate have a Material Adverse Effect.

          4.6 No Investment, Tax or Legal Advice. The Investor understands that nothing in the SEC Reports, this Agreement, or any other materials presented to the Investor in

The Investor acknowledges that the Offering is confidential and non-public and agrees that all information about the Offering shall be kept in confidence by the Investor until the public announcement of the Closing of the Offering by the Company pursuant to Section 7.2 below. The Investor acknowledges that the foregoing restrictions on the Investor’s use and disclosure of any such confidential, non-public information contained in the Agreements restricts the Investor from trading in the Company’s securities to the extent such trading is on the basis of material, non-public information. Except for the terms of the Agreements and the fact that the Company is considering consummating the transactions contemplated therein, the Company confirms that neither the Company nor, to its knowledge, any other Person acting on its behalf, has provided any of the Investors or their agents or counsel with any information that constitutes material, non-public information.

The Investor has not received any general solicitation or advertising regarding the Offering.
          4.9 Additional Acknowledgement. The Investor has thoroughly reviewed the SEC Reports and the Confidential Private Placement Memorandum dated June 1, 2007 (the “Memorandum,” and collectively with the SEC Reports, the “Disclosure Documents”) prior to making this investment. The Investor has been granted a reasonable time prior to the date hereof during which it has had the opportunity to obtain such additional information as the Investor deems necessary to permit the Investor to make an informed decision with respect to the purchase of the Common Stock. After examination of the SEC Reports and other information available, the Investor is fully aware of the business prospects, financial condition, risks associated with investment and the operating history relating to the Company, and therefore in subscribing for the purchase of the Shares, the Investor is not relying upon any information other than information contained in the Disclosure Documents. The Investor acknowledges that it has independently evaluated the merits of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, that it has independently determined to enter into the transactions contemplated hereby, that it is not relying on any advice from or evaluation by any Other Investor, and that it is not acting in concert with any Other Investor in making its purchase of the Shares hereunder.

     5. Survival of Representations, Warranties and Agreements.

     6. Legends and Restrictions on Transfer. The certificate or certificates for the Shares (or any uncertificated Shares, as the case may be) and any securities issued in respect of or exchange for the Shares, shall be subject to a legend or legends restricting transfer under the Securities Act and referring to restrictions on transfer herein, such legend to be substantially as follows:
THESE SECURITIES HAVE BEEN ISSUED AND SOLD IN RELIANCE UPON EXEMPTIONS FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 (THE “1933 ACT”), AND APPROPRIATE EXEMPTIONS FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES LAWS OF OTHER APPLICABLE JURISDICTIONS. THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, OR TRANSFERRED OTHER THAN PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT OR AN EXEMPTION THEREFROM UNDER THE 1933 ACT AND THE APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. THE

ISSUER SHALL BE ENTITLED TO REQUIRE AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO IT WITH RESPECT TO COMPLIANCE OF THE PROPOSED SALE OR TRANSFER WITH THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE 1933 ACT OR EXEMPTION THEREFROM.
The Investor expressly agrees that any sale by the Investor of Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement shall be sold in a manner described under the caption “Plan of Distribution” in such Registration Statement, which “Plan of Distribution” will be substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E, and the Investor will deliver a copy of the prospectus contained in the Registration Statement (the “Prospectus”) to the purchaser or purchasers, directly or through the Investor’s broker, in connection with such sale, in each case in compliance with the requirements of the Securities Act and Exchange Act applicable to such sale. The Investor further agrees that the Shares shall only be sold while the Registration Statement is effective, unless another exemption from registration is available. On the basis of compliance by the Investor with the foregoing covenants, (a) upon effectiveness of the Registration Statement, (b) following any sale of such Shares pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act (assuming the transferor is not an affiliate of the Company), (c) if such Shares become eligible for sale under Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act (to the extent that the applicable Investor provides a certification or legal opinion to the Company to that effect), or (d) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including controlling judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the SEC), the Company shall as soon as practicable, but not later than ten Business Days after surrender of the legended certificates (or, in the case of uncertificated Shares, notice of the Investor’s request) to the Company together with any supporting documentation required to be delivered by the Company, in form and substance satisfactory to the Company, and notice of such surrender has been provided pursuant to Section 8 below, cause certificates evidencing the Shares or uncertificated Shares previously issued to be replaced with certificates or uncertificated Shares that are not subject to the restrictive legend specified above in this Section 6, and all Shares subsequently issued shall not bear the restrictive legend specified above in this Section 6. The Investor further agrees to notify the Company promptly upon the completion of the sale of all of its Shares. The Investor acknowledges that the removal of the restrictive legends from certificates or uncertificated Shares as provided in this Section 6 is predicated upon the Company’s reliance on the Investor’s compliance with its covenants in this Section 6.

Effective April 26, 2007, the Bank agreed to waive the Company’s non-compliance with the financial covenants set forth in the credit agreement for the period ended December 31, 2006 in consideration of a $20,000 non-refundable waiver fee. On May 29, 2007, the Bank agreed to waive the Company’s non-compliance with the financial covenants set forth in the credit facility for the period ended March 31, 2007 in consideration of payment of a $7,500 non-refundable waiver fee.

     2. Industrial development bonds. The Company’s Grand Junction, Colorado facility was financed by industrial development bonds as described in the SEC Reports. The Company has made all scheduled payments of principal and interest on these bonds. The bonds are collateralized by, among other things, a first mortgage on the facility, a security interest in certain equipment and an irrevocable letter of credit issued by Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (“Wells Fargo”) pursuant to the terms of a reimbursement agreement between the Company and Wells Fargo. The reimbursement agreement, as amended, contains financial covenants that require, among other things, that the Company maintain a minimum tangible net worth and a minimum fixed-charge coverage ratio, each as described in the SEC Reports. On April 24, 2007, Wells Fargo agreed to waive the Company’s non-compliance with the fixed-charge coverage ratio for the period ended December 31, 2006 and for each subsequent quarterly period ending on or before June 30, 2007. There can be no assurances as to whether Wells Fargo will provide additional waivers in the future.

     I am the Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary of 3D Systems Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and, in such capacity, I have acted as counsel to the Company in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of (a) the Securities Purchase Agreements, each dated June ___, 2007 (the “Purchase Agreements”), between the Investors and the Company related to the Company’s issuance of ___,000 shares (the “Shares”) of its common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), to selected investors (each an “Investor”) that qualify as “accredited investors” as defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and (b) the Registration Rights Agreement, dated June ___, 2007 (the “Registration Rights Agreement,” and together with the Purchase Agreements, the “Agreements”), between the Investors and the Company. Unless otherwise defined in this opinion, capitalized terms used in this opinion have the meanings set forth in the Agreements.
     In connection with rendering the opinions set forth below, I have examined originals, or copies identified to my satisfaction, of the Agreements, such corporate records of the Company, certificates of public officials and of officers of the Company and such other documents as I have deemed necessary to furnish a basis for the opinions expressed below. In rendering my opinion, I have assumed (a) the genuineness of all signatures of all parties other than the Company (and as to signatures of the Company, I have made such inquiries as I have deemed necessary to satisfy myself that such signatures are genuine), the conformity to authentic original documents of all documents submitted to me as copies and the authenticity of all documents submitted to me as originals, (b) as to all parties other than the Company, the due authorization, execution and delivery of the Agreements by such parties, (c) as to all parties other than the Company, the validity and enforceability of the Agreements against such parties, and (d) that all parties to the Agreements other than the Company have full power, or are otherwise legally competent, to perform their respective obligations under such Agreements.

     Whenever the phrase “to my knowledge” is used herein, I intend to signify that I am not consciously aware at this time of facts inconsistent with such opinion without any special or additional investigation undertaken for purposes of this opinion; no constructive or imputed knowledge is within the coverage of any such opinion.
     Based on the foregoing, and subject to the limitations, qualifications and exceptions set forth herein, I am of the opinion that:
     1. The Company is a corporation, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and has all requisite corporate power to execute and deliver the Agreements and to perform its obligations thereunder.
     2. The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of 60,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share, and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share.
     3. The Shares, when issued and delivered by the Company against payment therefor in accordance with the provisions of the Purchase Agreements, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of the Company’s Common Stock.
     4. The execution, delivery and performance of the Agreements by the Company and the issuance and sale of the Shares by the Company in accordance with the Agreements will not, with or without notice or the passage of time, conflict with or result in the material breach or termination of any material term or provision of, or constitute a material default under, or cause any acceleration of any material obligation under, or cause the creation of any material lien, charge or encumbrance upon the material properties or assets of the Company pursuant to any contract or instrument that is currently in effect in the form included, or incorporated by reference, as an exhibit to (x) the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, (y) the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 and (z) any of the Company’s Current Reports on Form 8-K filed since April 30, 2007.
     5. The execution and delivery by the Company of the Agreements, and the issuance and sale of the Shares by the Company in accordance with the Agreements, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company. The Agreements constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company.
     6. The execution and delivery by the Company of the Agreements, and the issuance and sale of the Shares by the Company, do not (a) violate the provisions of the certificate of incorporation or the amended and restated by-laws of the Company, in each case as amended to the date of this opinion letter, or (b) to my knowledge, violate any existing obligation of the Company under any judgment, decree, order or award of any court, governmental body or arbitrator specifically naming the Company and applicable to it or its properties.
     The opinions expressed above are subject to the following assumptions, qualifications and limitations:

C-2


 

     (a) This opinion is subject to the effect of applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent conveyance, moratorium and similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally.
     (b) This opinion is subject to the effect of general principles of equity (regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and of public policy, which may, among other things, deny rights of specific performance or limit the enforceability of indemnities.
     (c) In rendering my opinion that the Company is “validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware”, I have relied solely upon a certificate of good standing issued by the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware dated June 15, 2007.
     (d) I do not express any opinion as to the validity, binding effect or enforceability of provisions of the Registration Rights Agreement relating to indemnity and contribution for liabilities under securities laws.
     (e) Certain of the provisions of the Agreements may be further limited or rendered unenforceable under applicable law, but in my opinion such law does not, subject to the qualifications and exceptions stated elsewhere in this opinion, cause the Agreements to be inadequate for the practical realization of the principal benefits purported to be provided thereby.
     I wish to advise you that I am a member of the Bar of the State of New York. The opinions expressed in this opinion letter are limited in all respects to the laws of the State of New York, the Federal laws of the United States and the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. While I am not licensed to practice law in the State of Delaware, I have reviewed applicable provisions of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware as I have deemed appropriate in connection with the applicable opinions expressed herein. I am not opining on, and I assume no responsibility with respect to, the applicability to or effect on any of the matters covered herein of the laws of any other jurisdiction or the local laws of any jurisdiction. I am not opining on specialized laws that are not customarily covered in opinion letters of this kind including, but not limited to tax, securities, insolvency, antitrust and insurance matters.
     This opinion is being furnished only to the addressees of this opinion and is solely for their benefit in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Agreements. This opinion may not be relied upon for any other purpose, or relied upon by any other person, firm or corporation for any purpose, without my prior written consent.
     The foregoing opinion is rendered as of the date of this letter. I assume no obligation to update or supplement any of my opinions to reflect any changes of law or fact that may subsequently occur.
     
 
  Very truly yours,
 
   
 
  Robert M. Grace, Jr.
Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary

Exhibit D
FORM OF OUTSIDE COUNSEL LEGAL OPINION
June _____, 2007
To the Investors identified on
Schedule 1 attached hereto
      Re: 3D Systems Corporation
Ladies and Gentlemen:
     We have acted as counsel to 3D Systems Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the issuance (the “Transaction”) of                      shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share, pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreements, dated as of June ___, 2007, including the schedules and exhibits thereto (collectively, the “Agreements”), between the Company and the Investors identified on Schedule 1 hereto (the “Investors”). This opinion letter is delivered pursuant to Section 2.1 of the Agreements. All capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the same meanings as are ascribed to them in the Agreements.
     In rendering the opinions set forth herein, we have reviewed:
  (a)   the Agreements; and
 
  (b)   the Registration Rights Agreement, dated the date hereof (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), between the Company and the Investors.
     The documents described and identified in clauses (a) and (b) above are referred to as the “Transaction Documents.”
     We have also reviewed a copy of the certificate of incorporation of the Company as amended and as certified by the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on June 15, 2007, the amended and restated by-laws of the Company, copies of resolutions of the board of directors of the Company and such other documents, and have considered such matters of law and fact, in each case as we, in our professional judgment, have deemed appropriate to render the opinions contained herein. With respect to certain facts, we have considered it appropriate to rely upon certificates or other comparable documents of public officials and officers or other appropriate representatives of the Company without investigation or analysis of any underlying data contained therein.
     The opinions set forth herein are limited to matters governed by the laws of the State of North Carolina, the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and the federal laws of the United States (except for federal and state securities laws as to which we express no opinion other than as expressly set forth in paragraph 2 below), and no opinion is expressed herein as to the laws of any other jurisdiction. We note that the Transaction Documents provide that they are

D-1


 

to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and no opinion is expressed herein as to the laws of the State of New York. Further, we express no opinion concerning any matter respecting or affected by any laws other than laws that a lawyer in North Carolina exercising customary professional diligence would reasonably recognize as being directly applicable to the Company, the Transaction or both.
     Based upon and subject to the foregoing and the further assumptions, limitations and qualifications hereinafter expressed, it is our opinion that:
     1. The execution and delivery by the Company of the Transaction Documents, and the issuance and sale of the Shares by the Company, do not violate applicable provisions of statutory laws or regulations.
     2. Assuming (a) the accuracy of the representations and warranties made by the Company and each Investor in the Agreements, (b) that none of the Company, the Placement Agents or any person acting on behalf of either the Company or the Placement Agents has offered or sold the Shares by any form of general solicitation or general advertising within the meaning of Rule 502(c) of Regulation D (“Regulation D”) promulgated under the Securities Act, (c) that no offerings or sales of securities of the Company after the date hereof can be “integrated” with the sale of the Shares, (d) that each person or entity that purchased securities of the Company directly from the Company or its agents and without registration within six months prior to the offering of the Shares was an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D, (e) the Company files a Form D with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to the sale of the Shares within the period prescribed therefor under Regulation D, and (f) the due performance by the Company and each of the Investors of their respective covenants and agreements set forth in the Agreements, the sale of the Shares to the Investors at the Closing under the circumstances contemplated by the Agreements will not require registration under Section 5 of the Securities Act, it being understood that we express no opinion as to any subsequent reoffer or resale of any of the Shares.
     We call your attention to the fact that as a matter of customary practice, certain assumptions underlying opinions are understood to be implicit.
     This opinion letter is delivered solely for your benefit in connection with the Transaction and may not be disclosed to, used or relied upon by any other person or for any other purpose without our prior written consent in each instance, except that the Placement Agents for the offering may rely upon this opinion letter as if they were addressees on the date hereof. Our opinions expressed herein are as of the date hereof, and we undertake no obligation to advise you or the Placement Agents of any changes in applicable law or any other matters that may come to our attention after the date hereof that may affect our opinions expressed herein.
Very truly yours,

Exhibit E
Plan of Distribution
     We are registering the shares offered by this prospectus on behalf of the selling stockholders. The selling stockholders, which as used herein includes donees, pledgees, transferees or other successors-in-interest selling shares of common stock or interests in shares of common stock received after the date of this prospectus from a selling stockholder as a gift, pledge, partnership distribution or other transfer, may, from time to time, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any or all of their shares of common stock or interests in shares of common stock on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. These dispositions may be at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at prices related to the prevailing market price, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices. To the extent any of the selling stockholders gift, pledge or otherwise transfer the shares offered hereby, such transferees may offer and sell the shares from time to time under this prospectus, provided that this prospectus has been amended under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act to include the name of such transferee in the list of selling stockholders under this prospectus.
     The selling stockholders may use any one or more of the following methods when disposing of shares or interests therein:
    ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;
 
    block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent, but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
 
    purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;
 
    an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;
 
    privately negotiated transactions;
 
    short sales;
 
    through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;
 
    broker-dealers may agree with the selling stockholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;
 
    a combination of any such methods of sale; and
 
    any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

E-1


 

     The selling stockholders may, from time to time, pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares of common stock owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares of common stock, from time to time, under this prospectus, or under an amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act amending the list of selling stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling stockholders under this prospectus.
     In connection with the sale of our common stock or interests therein, the selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the common stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The selling stockholders may also sell shares of our common stock short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The selling stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered by this prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).
     The aggregate proceeds to the selling stockholders from the sale of the common stock offered by them will be the price at which they sell the common stock less discounts or commissions, if any. Each of the selling stockholders reserves the right to accept and, together with their agents from time to time, to reject, in whole or in part, any proposed purchase by a third party of common stock to be sold by the selling stockholders directly or through agents. We will not receive any of the proceeds from this offering.
     The selling stockholders also may resell all or a portion of the shares in open market transactions in reliance upon Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, provided that they meet the criteria and conform to the requirements of that rule.
     The selling stockholders and any broker-dealers that act in connection with the sale of securities registered pursuant to this prospectus may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act, and any commissions received by such broker-dealers and any profit on the resale of the securities sold by them while acting as principals may be deemed to be underwriting discounts or commissions under the Securities Act. Each selling stockholder has represented and warranted to the company that it does not have any agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any Person to distribute shares.
     To the extent required, the shares of our common stock to be sold, the names of the selling stockholders, the respective purchase prices and public offering prices, the names of any agents, dealers or underwriters, and any applicable commissions or discounts with respect to a particular offer will be set forth in an accompanying prospectus supplement or, if appropriate, a post-effective amendment to the registration statement that includes this prospectus.

E-2


 

     In order to comply with the securities laws of some states, if applicable, the common stock may be sold in these jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states the common stock may not be sold unless it has been registered or qualified for sale or an exemption from registration or qualification requirements is available and is complied with.
     We have advised the selling stockholders that the anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M under the Exchange Act may apply to sales of shares in the market and to the activities of the selling stockholders and their affiliates. Regulation M’s prohibition on purchases may include purchases to cover short positions by the selling stockholders, and a selling stockholder’s failure to cover a short position at a lender’s request and subsequent purchases by the lender in the open market of shares to cover such short positions, may be deemed to constitute an inducement to buy shares, which is prohibited by Regulation M.
     We will make copies of this prospectus (as it may be supplemented or amended from time to time) available to the selling stockholders for the purpose of satisfying the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. The selling stockholders may indemnify any broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving the sale of the shares against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.
     We have advised the selling stockholders that if a particular offer of shares is to be made on terms constituting a material change from the information described under a final prospectus, then, to the extent required, a supplement to the final prospectus must be distributed setting forth the terms and related information as required.
     We have agreed to indemnify the selling stockholders against liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act and state securities laws, relating to the registration of the shares offered by this prospectus.
