Second Amendment to Registration Rights Agreement between Flow International Corporation and Investors
This amendment, dated October 12, 2005, is between Flow International Corporation and certain investors. It further modifies the original Registration Rights Agreement, as previously amended, by changing the definition of "Effectiveness Date" for required registration statements. The amendment clarifies deadlines for the company to file and have registration statements declared effective, with specific provisions if financial statement fraud is found. All other terms of the original agreement remain unchanged. The amendment becomes effective once signed by investors holding a majority of the relevant securities.
Exhibit 10.1
SECOND AMENDMENT TO REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT
This Agreement (the Second Amendment) is entered into between Flow International Corporation (the Company) and the undersigned as of October 12, 2005. It further amends the Registration Rights Agreement (the Agreement) made and entered into as of February 21, 2005, by and among the Company and the investors signatory thereto (each an Investor and collectively, the Investors) as amended as of September 13, 2005 (First Amendment). Capitalized terms not specifically defined herein shall have the same meaning as in the Agreement. For good and adequate consideration, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the undersigned agree(s) as follows
1. | The undersigned is an Investor. The Investor continues to hold the Registrable Securities acquired pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. |
2. | The First Amendment amended the term Effectiveness Date as used in the Agreement by substituting 210th for 180th. Pursuant to Section 6(f) of the Agreement, the Agreement as amended by the First Amendment is further amended to read as follows: |
Effectiveness Date means (a) with respect to the initial Registration Statement required to be filed under Section 2(a), the earlier of: (a)(i) the 285th calendar day following the Closing Date, provided that if it subsequently determined that by the Board of Directors of the Company or a judicial decision from which no appeal may be taken that it was necessary for the Company to amend the financial statements in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended April 30, 2005 as a result of fraud, 285th shall be deemed to be 180th in this clause (a)(i), and (ii) the fifth Trading Day following the date on which the Company is notified by the Commission that the initial Registration Statement will not be reviewed or is no longer subject to further review and comments, and (b) with respect to any additional Registration Statements that may be required pursuant to Section 2(b), the earlier of (i) the 285th calendar day following (x) if such Registration Statement is required because the Commission shall have notified the Company in writing that certain Registrable Securities were not eligible for inclusion on a previously filed Registration Statement, the date or time on which the Commission shall indicate as being the first date or time that such Registrable Securities may then be included in a Registration Statement, or (y) if such Registration Statement is required for a reason other than as described in (x) above, the date on which the Company first knows, or reasonably should have known, that such additional Registration Statement(s) is required, and (ii) the fifth Trading Day following the date on which the Company is notified by the Commission that such additional Registration Statement will not be reviewed or is no longer subject to further review and comments.
3. | Except as expressly provided for in this Second Amendment, the Agreement as amended by the First Amendment will remain unchanged and in full force and effect. The term Agreement, as used in the Agreement and all other instruments and agreements executed thereunder, shall for all purposes refer to the Agreement as amended by the First Amendment and this Second Amendment. |
4. | This form of the Second Amendment is one of several identical forms of the Second Amendment, the others to be executed by other Investors. This Amendment and the other identical forms of Second Amendment shall become effective when executed forms of Second Amendments given by Holders of no less than a majority in interest of the outstanding Registrable Securities shall be delivered to the Company. |
