Warrant Agreement


WARRANT AGREEMENT

THIS WARRANT AGREEMENT made as of [                    ], 2008, is between [BVI Newco], a company incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, with offices at 33 Riverside Avenue, 5th Floor Westport, CT 06880 (the “Company”), and the persons listed on Exhibit A hereto (collectively, the “Founders”).

WHEREAS, on the date hereof, China Holdings Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (“CHAC”) merged with and into the Company, with the Company surviving the merger (the “Merger”);

WHEREAS, pursuant to an agreement between the Founders and the Company, the Founders agreed that, in connection with the Merger, the 3,200,000 shares of CHAC’s common stock collectively held by the Founders, would be converted into warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase 3,200,000 shares, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), of Newco;

WHEREAS, the Company desires to provide for the form and provisions of the Warrants, the terms upon which they shall be issued and exercised, and the respective rights, limitation of rights and immunities of the Company and the Founders; and

WHEREAS, all acts and things have been done and performed which are necessary to make the Warrants, when executed on behalf of the Company, as provided herein, the legally valid and binding obligations of the Company, and to authorize the execution and delivery of this Warrant Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Warrants.

1.1 Form of Warrant. Each Warrant shall be (a) issued in registered form only, (b) in substantially the form of Exhibit B hereto, respectively, the provisions of which are incorporated herein, (c) signed by, or bear the facsimile signature of, the Chairman of the Board or, the Chief Executive Officer or the President, and the Treasurer, Secretary or Assistant Secretary of the Company, and (d) shall bear a facsimile of the Company’s seal. In the event the person whose facsimile signature has been placed upon any Warrant shall have ceased to serve in the capacity in which such person signed the Warrant before such Warrant is issued, it may be issued with the same effect as if he or she had not ceased to be such at the date of issuance.

1.2 Effect of Countersignature. Unless and until countersigned by the Company pursuant to this Agreement, a Warrant shall be invalid and of no effect and may not be exercised by the Holder thereof. Warrant certificates shall be dated the date of countersignature by the Company.

 

1


1.3 Registration.

1.3.1 Warrant Register. The Company shall maintain books (“Warrant Register”), for the registration of the original issuance and transfers of the Warrants. Upon the initial issuance of the Warrants, the Company shall issue and register in the name of each Founder a Warrant to purchase the number of shares set forth next to each such Founder’s name on Exhibit A.

1.3.2 Holder. Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of any Warrant, the Company may deem and treat the Founder in whose name such Warrant shall be registered upon the Warrant Register (“Holder”), as the absolute owner of such Warrant and of each Warrant represented thereby (notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing on the warrant certificate made by anyone other than the Company), for the purpose of any exercise thereof, and for all other purposes, and the Company shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary.

2. Terms and Exercise of Warrants.

2.1 Warrant Price. Each Warrant shall entitle the Holder thereof, subject to the provisions of such Warrant and of this Warrant Agreement, to purchase from the Company the number of shares of Common Stock stated therein, at the price of $0.01 per whole share, subject to the adjustments provided in Section 3 hereof and in the last sentence of this Section 2.1. The term “Warrant Price” as used in this Warrant Agreement refers to the price per share at which a share may be purchased at the time a Warrant is exercised.

2.2 Condition to Exercisability. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Warrants shall not be exercisable for shares unless and until the closing sale price for the regular Trading Day (without considering after hours or other trading outside regular trading session hours) of the Common Stock on the applicable Trading Market (or, if no closing price is reported, the last reported sale price during the regular Trading Day) for any 20 days within any 30 day trading period beginning 90 days after the Closing Date exceeds $13.50 per share (the “Common Stock Earnout Target”). For the purposes of this Section 2.2, “Trading Day” shall mean (i) a day on which the Common Stock is traded on a Trading Market, or (ii) if the Common Stock is not listed or admitted for trading on a Trading Market, a day on which the Common Stock is traded in the over-the-counter market or is quoted in the over-the-counter market as reported by the National Quotation Bureau Incorporated (or any similar organization or agency succeeding to its function of reporting prices); and “Trading Market” shall mean the American Stock Exchange (“AMEX”) or, if the Common Stock is not listed on AMEX, such other exchange or quotation system on which the Common Stock is listed or quoted for trading on the date in question.

2.3 Duration of Warrants. A Warrant may be exercised only during the period commencing on the day on which the Common Stock Earnout Target is satisfied (the “Common Stock Earnout Target Date”) and, thereafter, in perpetuity.

 

2


2.4 Exercise of Warrants.

2.4.1 Payment. Immediately after the satisfaction of the Common Stock Earnout Target, the Company shall cause funds in the amount of USD$32,000, in the aggregate, which are held for the benefit of the Founders in a bank account established by the Company solely to hold such amount, to be applied in respect of the aggregate Warrant Price due for the Warrants and the Holder shall exercise the Warrants by sending them to the Company offices described in the preamble hereto, with the subscription form, as set forth in the Warrant, duly executed. Holder shall pay any and all applicable taxes due in connection with the exercise of the Warrant, the exchange of the Warrant for the Common Stock, and the issuance of the Common Stock.

2.4.2 Issuance of Certificates. As soon as practicable after the application by the Company of the funds in payment of the Warrant Price, the Company shall issue to the Holder of such Warrant a certificate or certificates representing the number of full shares of Common Stock to which he, she or it is entitled, registered in such name or names as may be directed by him, her or it. In no event will the Company be obligated to pay such Holder any cash consideration upon exercise (unless pursuant to Section 3.5) or otherwise “net cash settle” the Warrant.

2.4.3 Valid Issuance. All shares of Common Stock issued upon the proper exercise or surrender of a Warrant in conformity with this Agreement shall be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

2.4.4 Date of Issuance. Each person or entity in whose name any such certificate for shares of Common Stock is issued shall, for all purposes, be deemed to have become the holder of record of such shares on the date on which the Warrant was surrendered and payment of the Warrant Price was made, irrespective of the date of delivery of such certificate, except that, if the date of such surrender and payment is a date when the share register of the Company is closed, such person shall be deemed to have become the holder of such shares at the close of business on the next succeeding date on which the share register is open.

3. Adjustments.

3.1 Dividends - Split-Ups. If, after the date hereof, and subject to the provisions of Section 3.7 below, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is increased by a dividend payable in shares of Common Stock, or by a division or split-up of shares of Common Stock, or other similar event, then, on the effective date of such dividend, division or split-up or similar event, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on exercise of each Warrant shall be increased in proportion to such increase in outstanding shares of Common Stock.

3.2 Aggregation of Shares. If, after the date hereof, and subject to the provisions of Section 3.6, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is decreased by a consolidation, combination, reverse stock split or reclassification of shares of Common Stock or other similar event, then, on the effective date of such consolidation, combination, reverse stock split, reclassification or similar event, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on exercise of each Warrant shall be decreased in proportion to such decrease in outstanding shares of Common Stock.

 

3


3.3 Adjustments in Exercise Price. Whenever the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrants is adjusted, as provided in Sections 3.1 and 3.2 above, the Warrant Price shall be adjusted (to the nearest cent) by multiplying such Warrant Price, immediately prior to such adjustment, by a fraction, (a) the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrants immediately prior to such adjustment, and (b) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock so purchasable immediately thereafter.

3.4 Extraordinary Dividends. If the Company, at any time during the Exercise Period, shall pay a dividend in cash, securities or other assets to the holders of Common Stock (or other shares of the Company into which the Warrants are convertible), other than (y) as described in Sections 3.1, 3.2 or 3.5, or (z) regular quarterly or other periodic dividends, (any such non-excluded event being referred to herein as an “Extraordinary Dividend”), then upon exercise by Holder of its Warrants, such Holder shall be entitled to receive an amount in cash equal to the number of shares of Common Stock received upon exercise of the Warrants held by such Holder multiplied by the per share consideration paid in respect of each share of Common Stock in the Extraordinary Dividend.

3.5 Replacement of Securities upon Reorganization, etc. In case of any reclassification or reorganization of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (other than a change covered by Sections 3.1 or 3.2 hereof or one that solely affects the par value of such shares of Common Stock), or, in the case of any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation (other than a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation and that does not result in any reclassification or reorganization of the outstanding shares of Common Stock), or, in the case of any sale or conveyance to another corporation or entity of the assets or other property of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety, in connection with which the Company is dissolved, the Holders shall thereafter have the right to purchase and receive, upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions specified in the Warrants and in lieu of the shares of Common Stock of the Company immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of the rights represented thereby, the kind and amount of shares or other securities or property (including cash) receivable upon such reclassification, reorganization, merger or consolidation, or upon a dissolution following any such sale or transfer, that the Holder would have received if such Holder had exercised his, her or its Warrant(s) immediately prior to such event; and if any reclassification also results in a change in shares of Common Stock covered by Sections 3.1 or 3.2, then such adjustment shall be made pursuant to Sections 3.1, 3.2, and this Section 3.5. The provisions of this Section 3 shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, reorganizations, mergers or consolidations, sales or other transfers.

3.6 Notices of Changes in Warrant. Upon every adjustment of the Warrant Price or the number of shares issuable upon exercise of a Warrant, the Company shall give written notice thereof to each Holder, at the last address set forth for such Holder in the Warrant Register, which notice shall state the Warrant Price resulting from such adjustment and the increase or decrease, if any, in the number of shares purchasable at such price upon the exercise of a Warrant, setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which such calculation is based, and the record date or the effective date of the event. Failure to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of such event.

 

4


3.7 No Fractional Shares. Notwithstanding any provision contained in this Warrant Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall not issue fractional shares upon exercise of Warrants. If, by reason of any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3, any Holder would be entitled, upon the exercise of such Warrant, to receive a fractional interest in a share, the Company shall, upon such exercise, round up to the nearest whole number the number of the shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Holder.

3.8 Form of Warrant. The form of Warrant need not be changed because of any adjustment pursuant to this Section 3, and Warrants issued after such adjustment may state the same Warrant Price and the same number of shares as is stated in the Warrants initially issued pursuant to this Agreement. However, the Company may, at any time, in its sole discretion, make any change in the form of Warrant that the Company may deem appropriate and that does not affect the substance thereof, and any Warrant thereafter issued or countersigned, whether in exchange or substitution for an outstanding Warrant or otherwise, may be in the form as so changed.

3.9 Notice of Certain Transactions. In the event that the Company shall propose to (a) offer the holders of its Common Stock rights to subscribe for or to purchase any securities convertible into shares of Common Stock or shares of any class or any other securities, rights or options, (b) issue any rights, options or warrants entitling the holders of Common Stock to subscribe for shares of Common Stock or (c) make a tender offer, redemption offer or exchange offer with respect to the Common Stock, the Company shall send to the Holders a notice of such proposed action or offer. Such notice shall be mailed to the Holders at their addresses as they appear in the Warrant Register, which shall specify the record date for the purposes of such dividend, distribution or rights, or the date such issuance or event is to take place and the date of participation therein by the holders of Common Stock, if any such date is to be fixed, and shall briefly indicate the effect of such action on the Common Stock and on the number and kind of any other shares and on other property, if any, and the number of shares of Common Stock and other property, if any, issuable upon exercise of each Warrant and the Warrant Price after giving effect to any adjustment pursuant to this Section 3 which would be required as a result of such action. Such notice shall be given as promptly as practicable after the Board has determined to take any such action and (x) in the case of any action covered by clause (a) or (b) above at least 10 days prior to the record date for determining the holders of the Common Stock for purposes of such action or (y) in the case of any other such action at least 20 days prior to the date of the taking of such proposed action or the date of participation therein by the holders of Common Stock, whichever shall be the earlier.

3.10 Other Events. If any event occurs as to which the foregoing provisions of this Section 3 are not strictly applicable or, if strictly applicable, would not, in the good faith judgment of the Board, fairly and adequately protect the purchase rights of the Holders in accordance with the essential intent and principles of such provisions, then the Board shall make such adjustments in the application of such provisions, in accordance with such essential intent and principles, as shall be reasonably necessary, in the good faith opinion of the Board, to protect such purchase rights as aforesaid.

4. Transfer.

4.1 Transfer.

(a) For a period of time commencing from the date hereof and ending on a date that is six months following the consummation of the Merger (the “Lock-Up Period”), the Holders shall not (i) sell, offer to sell, contract or agree to sell, hypothecate, pledge, grant any option to purchase or otherwise dispose of or agree to dispose of, directly or indirectly, or establish or increase a put equivalent position or liquidate or decrease a call equivalent position within the meaning of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder, with respect to any Warrants, the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for the Warrants or other rights to purchase Common Stock or any such securities (the “Offering Securities”), (ii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Offering Securities, whether any such transaction is to be settled by delivery of Common Stock or such other securities, in cash or otherwise, or (iii) publicly announce any intention to effect any transaction specified in clause (i) or (ii).

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall register for transfer any Warrants to be transferred by Holder (i) to relatives and trusts for estate planning purposes, (ii) pursuant to the laws of descent and distribution upon death, (iii) pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order, and (iv) to officers, directors and employees of the Company and persons affiliated with the Founders; provided, however, that the permissive transfers set forth above may be implemented only upon the respective transferee’s written agreement with the Company to be bound by the terms and conditions of such transfer restrictions.

(c) Further, after the applicable Lock-Up Period has elapsed, the Warrants shall be freely transferable by the Holder thereof; provided that the transfer of Warrants or Common Stock issued upon exercise of such Warrants is subject to, and must be made in compliance with, any restrictions on transfer imposed by federal or state securities law.

4.2 Legend. Each certificate representing a Warrant or the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such Warrant shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend in the following form:

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 AND MAY NOT BE SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED, OR HYPOTHECATED UNLESS AND UNTIL SUCH SECURITIES ARE REGISTERED UNDER SUCH ACT, OR PURSUANT TO A VALID EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION THEREFROM. THE TRANSFERABILITY OF THIS SECURITY IS ALSO SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS CONTAINED IN THE WARRANT AGREEMENT, DATED AS OF OCTOBER     , 2008, BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND THE PERSONS SET FORTH ON EXHIBIT A THERETO, WHICH WARRANT AGREEMENT THE COMPANY WILL FURNISH TO THE HOLDER HEREOF UPON REQUEST.”

 

6


4.3 Registration of Transfer. The Company shall register the transfer, from time to time, of any outstanding Warrant into the Warrant Register, upon surrender of such Warrant for transfer, properly endorsed with signatures properly guaranteed and accompanied by appropriate instructions for transfer. Upon any such transfer, a new Warrant representing an equal aggregate number of Warrants shall be issued and the old Warrant shall be cancelled by the Company.

4.4 Procedure for Surrender of Warrants. Warrants may be surrendered to the Company, together with a written request for transfer, and, thereupon, the Company shall issue in exchange therefor one or more new Warrants as requested by the Holder of the Warrants so surrendered, representing an equal aggregate number of Warrants; provided, however, that, in the event a Warrant surrendered for transfer bears a restrictive legend, the Company shall not cancel such Warrant and shall issue new Warrants in exchange therefor until the Company has received an opinion of counsel for the Company stating that such transfer may be made and indicating whether the new Warrants must also bear a restrictive legend.

4.5 Fractional Warrants. The Company shall not be required to effect any registration of transfer which will result in the issuance of a warrant certificate for a fraction of a warrant.

4.6 Service Charges. No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer of Warrants.

5. Other Provisions Relating to Rights of Holders of Warrants.

5.1 No Rights as Shareholder.

5.2 Lost, Stolen Mutilated or Destroyed Warrants. If any Warrant is lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed, the Company may, on such terms as to indemnity or otherwise as they may in its discretion impose (which terms shall, in the case of a mutilated Warrant, include the surrender thereof), issue a new Warrant of like denomination, tenor and date as the Warrant so lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed. Any such new Warrant shall constitute a substitute contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the allegedly lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed Warrant shall be at any time enforceable by anyone.

5.3 Reservation of Common Stock. The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available a number of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock that will be sufficient to permit the exercise in full of all outstanding Warrants issued pursuant to this Warrant Agreement.

5.4 Limitation on Monetary Damages. In no event shall any Holder be entitled to receive monetary damages for failure to settle any Warrant exercise if the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants has not been registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to an effective registration statement or if a current prospectus is not available for delivery by the Company.

6. Miscellaneous Provisions.

6.1 Payment of Taxes. The Company will, from time to time, promptly pay all taxes and charges that may be imposed upon the Company in respect of the issuance or delivery of shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of Warrants, but the Company shall not be obligated to pay any transfer taxes in respect of the Warrants or such shares.

WARRANT

THIS CERTIFIES THAT, for value received

is the registered holder (the “Holder”) of a Warrant or Warrants (the “Warrant”) to purchase one fully paid and non-assessable share, par value $.001 per share (“Shares”), of [Insert Name of BVI Newco], a company incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands (the “Company”), for each Warrant evidenced by this Warrant Certificate. The Warrant entitles the Holder thereof to purchase from the Company commencing on the day on which the Common Stock Earnout Target (as such term is defined in the Warrant Agreement) is satisfied, such number of Shares of the Company at the price of $0.01 per share, upon surrender of this Warrant Certificate and payment of the Warrant Price at the office of the Company, but only subject to the conditions set forth herein and in the Warrant Agreement between the Company and the persons set forth on Exhibit A thereto. In no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the warrant exercise. The Warrant Agreement provides that upon the occurrence of certain events, the number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder, set forth on the face hereof, may, subject to certain conditions, be adjusted.

No fraction of a Share will be issued upon any exercise of a Warrant. If, upon exercise of a Warrant, a Holder would be entitled to receive a fractional interest in a Share, the Company will, upon exercise, round up to the nearest whole number the number of shares to be issued to the Holder.

Upon due presentment for registration of transfer of the Warrant Certificate at the office of the Company, a new Warrant Certificate or Warrant Certificates of like tenor and evidencing in the aggregate a like number of Warrants shall be issued to the transferee in exchange for this Warrant Certificate, subject to the limitations provided in the Warrant Agreement, without charge except for any applicable tax or other governmental charge.

The Company may deem and treat the Holder as the absolute owner of this Warrant Certificate (notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing hereon made by anyone), for the purpose of any exercise hereof, of any distribution to the Holder, and for all other purposes, and the Company shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary.

This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any of the rights of a shareholder of the Company.

ARTICLE 2

REGISTRATION RIGHTS

Section 2.01. Registrations on Form S-3.

(a) Filing. The holders of Registrable Securities may at any time and from time to time on or after the applicable Release Date, request in writing that the Company register the resale of any or all of such Registrable Securities on Form S-3 or a successor or other appropriate, similar short-form registration which may be available at such time (“Form S-3”); provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to effect such a request if the Company has within the preceding twelve (12) months effected a registration on Form S-3. Upon receipt of such written request, the Company will promptly give written notice of the proposed registration to all other holders of Released Registrable Securities and holders of Registrable Securities that, in the sole discretion of the Company, are likely to become Released Registrable Securities prior to the effectiveness of such Registration Statement, and, as soon as practicable thereafter, effect the registration of all or such portion of such holder’s or holders’ Released Registrable Securities and Registrable Securities that, in the sole discretion of the Company, are likely to become Released Registrable Securities prior to the effectiveness of such Registration Statement as are specified in such request, together with all or such portion of the Released Registrable Securities and Registrable Securities that, in the sole discretion of the Company, are likely to become Released Registrable Securities prior to the effectiveness of such Registration Statement of any other holder or holders joining in such request as are specified in a written request given within fifteen (15) business days after receipt of such written notice from the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to effect any such registration pursuant to this Section 2.01: (i) if Form S-3 is not available for such offering; or (ii) if the holders of the Released Registrable Securities and holders of Registrable Securities that, in the sole discretion of the Company, are likely to become Released Registrable Securities prior to the effectiveness of such Registration Statement, together with the holders of any other securities of the Company entitled to inclusion in such registration, propose to sell Released Registrable Securities and Registrable Securities that, in the sole discretion of the Company, are likely to become Released Registrable Securities prior to the effectiveness of such Registration Statement at an aggregate offering price to the public of less than $500,000. Registrations effected pursuant to this Section 2.01 shall not be counted as Demand Registrations effected pursuant to Section 2.02.

(b) Suspension of Registration. If the filing, initial effectiveness or continued use of Form S-3 at any time would require the Company to make an Adverse Disclosure or would require the inclusion in such Form S-3 of financial statements that are unavailable to the Company for reasons beyond the Company’s control, the Company may, upon giving prompt written notice of such action to the holders, delay the filing or initial effectiveness of, or suspend use of, the Form S-3 for the shortest period of time determined in good faith by the Company to be necessary for such purpose. In the event the Company exercises its rights under the preceding sentence, the holders agree to suspend, immediately upon their receipt of the notice referred to

 

5


above, their use of the prospectus relating to the registration on such Form S-3 in connection with any sale or offer to sell Registrable Securities and agree not to disclose to any other Person the fact that the Company has exercised such rights or any related facts. The Company shall immediately notify the holders upon the expiration of any period during which it exercised its rights under this Section 2.01(b).

Section 2.02. Demand Registrations.

(a) Demand by Holders. (i) At any time and from time on or after the date that is thirty (30) days prior to applicable Release Date, the holders of not less than a majority-in-interest of any class or classes of the Registrable Securities may make a total of three (3) written requests to the Company for registration of all or part of each such class of Registrable Securities held by those holders, provided that the estimated market value of the Registrable Securities of all classes to be so registered thereunder is at least $500,000 in the aggregate; and provided further that any Registration Statement for Unreleased Registrable Securities may not become effective until after such Registrable Securities have become Released Registrable Securities. Any such requested registration shall be referred to as a “Demand Registration.” Each request for a Demand Registration shall specify the class(es) and aggregate amount(s) of Registrable Securities to be registered and the intended methods of distribution thereof.

(ii) Within five (5) business days following receipt of any request for a Demand Registration, the Company shall deliver written notice of such request to all other holders of Registrable Securities of the class or classes to be registered. Thereafter, the Company shall include in such Demand Registration any additional Registrable Securities of each such class which the holder or holders thereof have requested in writing be included in such Demand Registration, provided that all such requests have been received by the Company within ten (10) business days of the Company’s having sent the applicable notice to such holder or holders (each such holder, including the Registrable Securities in such Demand Registration, a “Demanding Holder”). All such requests shall specify the class and aggregate amount of Registrable Securities to be registered and the intended method of distribution. The Company may include in such registration additional securities of the class or classes of the Registrable Securities to be registered thereunder, including securities to be sold for the Company’s own account or for the account of Persons who are not holders of Registrable Securities.

(iii) As promptly as practicable, and, in any event, within sixty (60) days following receipt of a request for a Demand Registration, the Company shall file a Registration Statement relating to such Demand Registration and thereafter the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act.

(b) Limitation on Demand Registrations. In no event shall the Company be required to effect more than three (3) Demand Registrations. In addition, the Company shall not be required to file a Registration Statement for a Demand Registration at any time during the 12-month period following the effective date of another Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Section 2.02.

 

6


(c) Demand Withdrawal. A holder may withdraw its Registrable Securities from a Demand Registration at any time. If all holders withdraw, or holders withdraw Registrable Securities from a Demand Registration in such amounts that the Registrable Securities of all classes that remain covered by the relevant Registration Statement have an estimated market value of less than $500,000, the Company shall cease all efforts to secure registration and such registration shall be deemed a Demand Registration for purposes of Section 2.02(b) unless the withdrawal is based on the reasonable determination of the Demanding Holders that there has been, since the date of such request, a material adverse change in the business or prospects of the Company or in general market conditions and the Demanding Holders who requested such registration shall have paid or reimbursed the Company for all of the reasonable out-of-pocket fees and expenses incurred by the Company in connection with the withdrawn registration.

(d) Effective Registration. The Company shall be deemed to have effected a Demand Registration if the applicable Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC and remains effective for not less than 180 days (or such shorter period as will terminate when all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement have been sold or withdrawn) and the Company has complied with all of its obligations under this Agreement with respect thereto; provided, however, that if, after such Registration Statement has been declared effective, the offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Demand Registration is interfered with by any stop order or injunction of the SEC or any other governmental agency or court, the Registration Statement with respect to such Demand Registration will be deemed not to have been declared effective, unless and until, (i) such stop order or injunction is removed, rescinded or otherwise terminated, and (ii) holders of a majority-in-interest of the relevant class or classes of Registrable Securities thereafter elect to continue the offering; provide, further, that the Company shall not be obligated to file a second Registration Statement until a Registration Statement that has been filed is counted as a Demand Registration or is terminated.

(e) Suspension of Registration. If the filing, initial effectiveness or continued use of a Registration Statement in respect of a Demand Registration at any time would require the Company to make an Adverse Disclosure or would require the inclusion in such Registration Statement of financial statements that are unavailable to the Company for reasons beyond the Company’s control, the Company may, upon giving prompt written notice of such action to the holders, delay the filing or initial effectiveness of, or suspend use of, such Registration Statement for the shortest possible period of time determined in good faith by the Company to be necessary for such purpose. In the event the Company exercises its rights under the preceding sentence, the holders agree to suspend, immediately upon their receipt of the notice referred to above, their use of the prospectus relating to the Demand Registration in connection with any sale or offer to sell Registrable Securities. The Company shall immediately notify the holders of the expiration of any period during which it exercised its rights under this Section 2.02(e).

(f) Underwritten Offering. If the holders of not less than a majority of the Registrable Securities of any class that is included in any offering pursuant to a Demand Registration so elect, the offering of all of the Registrable Securities of that class shall be in the form of an Underwritten Offering and the right of any holder to include Registrable Securities of that class in the Demand Registration shall be conditioned upon such holder’s participation in the Underwritten Offering. The holders of a majority of the class of Registrable Securities included

 

7


in such Underwritten Offering shall, in consultation with the Company, have the right to select the managing underwriter or underwriters for the offering, subject to the right of the Company should it so choose to select one co-managing underwriter reasonably acceptable to such holders. All holders proposing to distribute their Registrable Securities through such an underwriting shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter(s) selected for such underwriting.

(g) Reduction of Offering. If the managing underwriter or underwriters of a proposed Underwritten Offering of a class of Registrable Securities included in a Demand Registration, inform the holders of such Registrable Securities and the Company in writing that, in its or their opinion, the dollar amount or number of securities of such class requested to be included in such Demand Registration, including securities of the Company for its own account or for the account of other Persons who are not holders of Registrable Securities that the Company desires to sell and any securities as to which registration has been requested pursuant to written piggy-back registration rights (as described in Section 2.03 below), exceeds the maximum dollar amount or maximum number of securities, as applicable, that can be sold in such offering without being likely to have a significant adverse effect on the price, timing or distribution of the class of securities offered or the market for the class of securities offered (such maximum dollar amount or maximum number of securities, as applicable, the “Maximum Number of Securities”), then the Company shall include in such registration:

(i) first, Registrable Securities as to which Demand Registration has been requested by the Demanding Holders, in an amount up to but not exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities (allocated pro rata among the holders who have requested participation in the Demand Registration, based, for each such holder, on the percentage derived by dividing (x) the number of Registrable Securities of such class which such holder has requested to include in such Demand Registration by (y) the aggregate number of Registrable Securities of such class which all such holders have requested to include) (such proportion is referred to herein as “Pro Rata”) that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities;

(ii) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clause (i), securities that the Company desires to sell that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities;

(iii) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), securities for the account of other Persons that the Company is obligated to register pursuant to written contractual arrangements with such Persons, Pro Rata, and that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; and

(iv) fourth, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities have not been reached under the foregoing clauses (i), (ii), and (iii), securities that other security holders of the Company desire to sell that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities.

 

8


To the extent that any Registrable Securities requested to be registered are excluded pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the holders shall have the right to one additional Demand Registration under this Section 2.02.

(h) Registration Statement Form. Registrations under this Section 2.02 shall be on such appropriate registration form of the SEC (i) as shall be selected by the Company and as shall be reasonably acceptable to the holders of a majority-in-interest of each class of Registrable Securities requesting participation in the Demand Registration and (ii) as shall permit the disposition of the Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method or methods of disposition specified in the applicable holders’ requests for such registration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, pursuant to a Demand Registration, (x) the Company proposes to effect registration by filing a Registration Statement on Form S-3, (y) such registration is in connection with an Underwritten Offering and (z) the managing underwriter or underwriters shall advise the Company in writing that, in its or their opinion, the use of another form of registration statement (or the inclusion, rather than the incorporation by reference, of information in the prospectus related to a Registration Statement on Form S-3) is of material importance to the success of such proposed offering, then such registration shall be effected on such other form (or such information shall be so included in such prospectus).

Section 2.03. Incidental Registrations (“Piggy-Back” Registrations).

(a) Participation. (i) If at any time on or after the date that is thirty (30) days prior to the first Release Date, the Company proposes to file a Registration Statement with respect to any offering of its securities for its own account or for the account of any holders of its securities (or by the Company and by security holders of the Company, including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 2.02 hereof), other than (A) a registration of securities relating solely to an offering and sale to employees or directors of the Company pursuant to any employee stock plan or other employee benefit plan arrangement, (B) a registration on Form S-4 or S-8 or any successor form to such forms or other appropriate form, (C) an exchange offer or offering of securities solely to the Company’s existing shareholders, (D) an offering of debt that is convertible into equity securities, (E) a dividend reinvestment plan, or (F) solely in connection with a merger, consolidation or non-capital raising bona fide business transaction, then, as soon as practicable (but in no event less than ten (10) business days prior to the proposed date of filing such Registration Statement), the Company shall give written notice of such proposed filing to all holders of Registrable Securities, which notice shall describe the amount and class of securities to be included in such offering, the intended method(s) of distribution, and the name of the proposed managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, of the offering, and such notice shall offer the holders of such Registrable Securities the opportunity to register such number of Registrable Securities as each such holder may request in writing (an “Incidental Registration”). Subject to Section 2.03(b), the Company shall include in such Registration Statement all such Released Registrable Securities and Registrable Securities that, in the sole discretion of the Company, are likely to become Released Registrable Securities prior to the effectiveness of such Registration Statement requested to be included therein within five (5) business days after the receipt by such holder of any such notice, on the same terms and conditions as any similar securities of the Company. If at any time after giving written notice of its intention to register any securities and prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement filed in connection with such registration, the Company shall determine for any reason not to

 

9


register or to delay registration of such securities, the Company may, at its election, give written notice of such determination to each holder of Released Registrable Securities and Registrable Securities that, in the sole discretion of the Company, are likely to become Released Registrable Securities prior to the effectiveness of such Registration Statement and, (x) in the case of a determination not to register, shall be relieved of its. obligation to register any Released Registrable Securities and Registrable Securities that, in the sole discretion of the Company, are likely to become Released Registrable Securities prior to the effectiveness of such Registration Statement in connection with such registration, and (y) in the case of a determination to delay registering, shall be permitted to delay registering any Released Registrable Securities and Registrable Securities that, in the sole discretion of the Company, are likely to become Released Registrable Securities prior to the effectiveness of such Registration Statement for the same period as the delay in registering such other securities.

(ii) If the offering pursuant to an Incidental Registration is to be an Underwritten Offering, then each holder making a request for its Released Registrable Securities and Registrable Securities that, in the sole discretion of the Company, are likely to become Released Registrable Securities prior to the effectiveness of such Registration Statement to be included therein must, and the Company shall use its best efforts to make such arrangements with the underwriters so that each such holder may, participate in such Underwritten Offering on the same terms and conditions as the Company and other Persons selling securities in such Underwritten Offering. If the offering pursuant to such registration is to be on any other basis, then each holder making a request for an Incidental Registration pursuant to this Section 2.03(a) must participate in such offering on such basis.

(iii) Each holder of Registrable Securities shall be permitted to withdraw all or part of such holder’s Registrable Securities from an Incidental Registration at any time;

(b) Reduction of Incidental Registration. If the managing underwriter or underwriters of any proposed Underwritten Offering of a class of securities included in an Incidental Registration (or in the case of an Incidental Registration not being underwritten, the Company) informs the holders of Released Registrable Securities and holders of Registrable Securities that, in the sole discretion of the Company, are likely to become Released Registrable Securities prior to the effectiveness of such Registration Statement of any class sought to be included in such registration in writing that, in its or their opinion, the dollar amount or number or kind of securities which the Company and such holders and any other Persons intend to include in such offering exceeds the Maximum Number of Securities, then the securities of each class to be included in such registration shall be allocated as follows:

(i) if the registration is undertaken for the Company’s account: (x) first, the securities that the Company desires to sell that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities and (y) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clause (x), securities, if any, including the Released Registrable Securities and Registrable Securities that, in the sole discretion of the Company, are likely to become Released Registrable Securities prior to the effectiveness of such Registration Statement, as to which registration has

 

10


been requested pursuant to written contractual incidental registration rights of security holders (including this Agreement) that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities, Pro Rata;

(ii) if the registration is a demand registration undertaken by Persons with demand rights pursuant to a written contractual arrangement other than this Agreement, (w) first, securities for the account of the demanding Persons that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities, (x) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clause (w), securities that the Company desires to sell and that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities, (y) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (w) and (x), securities (including the Released Registrable Securities and Registrable Securities that, in the sole discretion of the Company, are likely to become Released Registrable Securities prior to the effectiveness of such Registration Statement) as to which registration has been requested pursuant to a written contractual incidental registration rights of security holders (including this Agreement) that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities, Pro Rata, and (z) fourth, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities have not been reached under the foregoing clauses (w), (x) and (y), securities that other security holders desire to sell without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities.

(a) Indemnification by the Company. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, to the full extent permitted by law, each holder of Registrable Securities and their respective officers, directors, employees, advisors and agents and each Person who controls (within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act) such Persons from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof, whether or not such indemnified party is a party thereto) and expenses (including reasonable costs of investigation and legal expenses), joint or several (each, a “Loss” and collectively “Losses”), arising out of or based upon (i) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement under which such Registrable Securities were registered under the Securities Act (including any final, preliminary or summary prospectus contained therein or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any documents incorporated by reference therein) or (ii) any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a prospectus or preliminary prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable to any indemnified party in any such case to the extent that any such Loss arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in any such Registration Statement in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such holder expressly for use in the preparation thereof; and provided, further, that the Company will not be liable to any indemnified party in any case to the extent that any such Loss arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in any final, preliminary or summary prospectus if such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission is corrected in an amendment or supplement to such prospectus which has been made available to the holders and the relevant holder of Registrable Securities fails to deliver such prospectus as so amended or supplemented, if such delivery is required under applicable law or the applicable rules of any securities exchange, prior to or concurrently with the sales of the Registrable Securities to the Person asserting such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense. This indemnity shall be in addition to any liability the Company may otherwise have.

(b) Indemnification by the Holders. Each selling holder of Registrable Securities agrees (severally and not jointly) to indemnify and hold harmless, to the full extent permitted by law, the Company, its directors, officers, employees and agents and each Person

 

17


who controls the Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act) from and against any Losses resulting from any untrue statement of a material fact or any omission of a material fact required to be stated in the Registration Statement under which such Registrable Securities were registered under the Securities Act (including any final, preliminary or summary prospectus contained therein or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any documents incorporated by reference therein), or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a prospectus or preliminary prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission had been contained in any information furnished in writing by such selling holder to the Company specifically for inclusion in such Registration Statement and was not corrected in a subsequent writing prior to or concurrently with the sale of the Registrable Securities to the Person asserting such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense. This indemnity shall be in addition to any liability such holder may otherwise have. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Company or any indemnified party. In no event shall the liability of any selling holder of Registrable Securities hereunder be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the proceeds received by such holder under the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification obligation.

(c) Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. Any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder will (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided, however, that any delay or failure to so notify the indemnifying party shall relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations hereunder only to the extent, if at all, that it is actually and materially prejudiced by reason of such delay or failure) and (ii) permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party; provided, however, that any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall have the right to select and employ separate counsel and to participate in the defense of such claim, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Person unless (A) the indemnifying party has agreed in writing to pay such fees or expenses, (B) the indemnifying party shall have failed to assume the defense of such claim within a reasonable time after having received notice of such claim from the Person entitled to indemnification hereunder and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Person, (C) in the reasonable judgment of any such Person, based upon advice of its counsel, a conflict of interest exists between such Person and the indemnifying party with respect to such claims or (D) based on advice of counsel, the indemnified party has reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it or other indemnified parties that are different from or in addition to those available to the indemnifying party such that the indemnifying party’s assumption of defense of the indemnified party would be likely to adversely affect the defense of the indemnified party (in which case, if the Person notifies the indemnifying party in writing that such Person elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such claim on behalf of such Person). If such defense is not assumed by the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party will not be subject to any liability for any settlement made without its consent, but such consent may not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that an indemnifying party shall not be required to consent to any settlement involving the imposition of equitable remedies or involving the imposition of any material obligations on such indemnifying party other than financial obligations for which such indemnified party will be indemnified hereunder. If the indemnifying party assumes the defense, the indemnifying party shall have the right to settle such action

without the consent of the indemnified party; provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall be required to obtain such consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) if the settlement includes any admission of wrongdoing on the part of the indemnified party or any restriction on the indemnified party or its officers or directors. No indemnifying party shall consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to each indemnified party of an unconditional release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation. The indemnifying party or parties shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings, be liable for the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of more than one separate firm at any one time for all such indemnified party or parties unless (x) the employment of more than one counsel has been authorized in writing by the indemnifying party or parties, (y) a conflict or potential conflict exists or may exist (based on advice of counsel to an indemnified party) between such indemnified party and the other indemnified parties or (z) based on advice of counsel, an indemnified party has reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or in addition to those available to the other indemnified parties, in each of which cases the indemnifying party shall be obligated to pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such additional counsel or counsels.

(d) Contribution. If for any reason the indemnification provided for in the paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 2.09 is unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient to hold it harmless as contemplated by paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 2.09, then the indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such Loss in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or the indemnified party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.09(d) to the contrary, no indemnifying party (other than the Company) shall be required pursuant to this Section 2.09(d) to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the net proceeds received by such indemnifying party from the sale of Registrable Securities in the offering to which the Losses of the indemnified parties relate exceeds the amount of any damages which such indemnifying party has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue statement or omission. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 2.09(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. If indemnification is available under this Section 2.09, the indemnifying parties shall indemnify each indemnified party to the full extent provided in Sections 2.09(a) and 2.09(b) hereof without regard to the relative fault of said indemnifying parties or indemnified party.

Section 2.10. Rule 144. The Company covenants that it shall use its best efforts to file any reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and shall take such further action as the holders of Registrable Securities may reasonably request, all

 

19


to the extent required from time to time to enable such holders to sell Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as such Rules may be amended from time to time, or any similar Rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the Commission.
