2.             Registration.

 

(a)           On or prior to the Filing Date, the Company shall prepare and file with the Commission the Registration Statement covering the resale of the Registrable Securities for an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415.  The Registration Statement shall be on Form S-3 (except if the Company is not then eligible to register for resale the Registrable Securities on Form S-3, in which case such registration shall be on another appropriate form in accordance herewith).  Not less than ten business days prior to filing of the Registration Statement, the Company shall provide each Holder with a copy of the Registration Statement proposed to be filed and shall consider all appropriate comments that are timely provided by such Holder with respect to the Registration Statement.  Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable best efforts to cause the Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as possible after the filing thereof, but in any event prior to the Effectiveness Date, and shall use its commercially reasonable best efforts to keep the Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities Act until the earlier of (i) all Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement have been sold, or (ii) subject to the next successive sentence, (A) Hercules, together with any of its affiliates, owns less than 10% of the issued and outstanding Common Stock and (B) the Registrable Securities may be sold free of any restrictions under Rule 144 (the “Effectiveness Period”).  Upon the Registration Statement ceasing to be effective in connection with clause (ii) of this section, the Company shall take, at its sole expense, such further action, including the provision of a legal opinion, as any Holder may  reasonably request from time to time to enable such Holder to sell the Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act.

 

(b)           The Company shall notify the Holders via facsimile or electronic mail of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement within three Trading Days of the Company telephonically confirming effectiveness with the Commission.  The Company

shall, by 9:30 AM Eastern Time on the Trading Day that is three Trading Days after the Effectiveness Date, file a Form 424(b)(5) with the Commission.

 

(c)           If (i) the Registration Statement is not declared effective by the Commission within 250 days of September 13, 2010, or (ii) following the date in clause (i), the Registration Statement covering the Registrable Shares ceases to be effective or usable at any time during the Effectiveness Period (without being succeeded on the same date immediately by a post-effective amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement that cures such failure and that is itself, in the case of a post-effective amendment, declared effective within ten Trading Days of filing with the Commission) or the Holders are not permitted to utilize the Prospectus therein to resell such Registrable Securities for 20 consecutive Trading Days or in any individual case an aggregate of 30 Trading Days during any twelve-month period (which need not be consecutive Trading Days) (any of the foregoing being a  “Registration Default” and for purposes of clause (i) the date on which such Registration Default occurs, or for purposes of clause (ii) the date on which such 20 or 30 Trading Day period, as applicable, is exceeded, each being a “Registration Default Date”) then, subject to Section 3, the Company shall pay to each Holder an amount in cash, as liquidated damages and not a penalty (“Liquidated Damages”): (A) equal to $25,000 on the Registration Default Date, and (B) on the 30th day thereafter and at the end of each subsequent 30-day period until such Registration Default is cured, equal to $25,000 on each such date, provided, however, that the sum of such amounts shall not exceed $500,000.  The foregoing represents the sole monetary remedy to any Holder in connection with any Registration Default.  The Company shall pay the Holders any Liquidated Damages on the Registration default Date, the day that is 30 days thereof and at the end of each subsequent 30-day period.  If the Company fails to pay any Liquidated Damages pursuant to this Section in full, the Company will pay interest thereon at a rate of 8% per annum (or such lesser maximum amount that is permitted to be paid by applicable law) to the Holder, accruing daily from the date such Liquidated Damages are due until such amounts, plus all such interest thereon, are paid in full.  A Registration Default under clause (i) above shall be cured on the date that the Registration Statement is filed with the SEC and a Registration Default under clause (ii) above shall be cured on the date that the Registration Statement covering the Permitted Shares is declared effective by the SEC or is otherwise usable.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Liquidated Damages shall accumulate as to any Registrable Security from and after the earlier of (x) the date such security is no longer a Registrable Security and (y) expiration of the Effectiveness Period.

 

(d)           The Company shall not be liable for any Liquidated Damages under Section 2(c) if the Holders are not permitted to utilize the Prospectus because the Company is negotiating a merger, consolidation, acquisition or sale of all or substantially all of its assets or a similar transaction which, in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors, requires the Registration Statement to be amended to include information in connection with such pending transaction (including the parties thereto) and such information is not yet available or publicly disclosable, or the Company is otherwise aware of such other material non-public information which, in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors, requires the Registration Statement to be amended to include such

 

4



 

other material non-public information and such information is not yet publicly disclosable, for an aggregate of 30 consecutive days.

 

(e)           Each Holder agrees to furnish to the Company (i) a completed selling stockholder questionnaire not more than ten Trading Days before the filing of the Registration Statement and (ii) such other information the Company reasonably requires to prepare the Registration Statement.  Each Holder further agrees that it shall not be entitled to be named as a selling stockholder in the Registration Statement or use the Prospectus for offers and resales of Registrable Securities at any time, unless such Holder has returned this information to the Company.  Each Holder acknowledges and agrees that the information in the selling stockholder questionnaire or request for further information as described in this Section 2(e) will be used by the Company in the preparation of the Registration Statement and hereby consents to the inclusion of such information in the Registration Statement.

 

3.             Registration Procedures.

 

In connection with the Company’s registration obligations hereunder, the Company shall:

or any other Federal or state governmental authority for amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or Prospectus or for additional information; (iii) of the issuance by the Commission or any other federal or state governmental authority of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement covering any or all of the Registrable Securities or the initiation of any Proceedings for that purpose; (iv) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation or threatening of any Proceeding for such purpose; and (v) of the occurrence of any event or passage of time that makes the financial statements included in the Registration Statement ineligible for inclusion therein or any statement made in the Registration Statement or Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference untrue in any material respect or that requires any revisions to the Registration Statement, Prospectus or other documents so that, in the case of the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, as the case may be, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided that any and all of such information provided pursuant to clause (v) above shall remain confidential to each Holder until such information otherwise becomes public, and such Holder agrees not to trade on such information, unless disclosure by a Holder is required by law; provided, further, notwithstanding each Holder’s agreement to keep such information confidential, the Holders make no acknowledgement that any such information is material, non-public information;

 

(c)           Use its commercially reasonable best efforts to avoid the issuance of, or, if issued, obtain the withdrawal of (i) any order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, or (ii) any suspension of the qualification (or exemption from qualification) of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, as soon as practicable;

 

(d)           Furnish to each Holder, upon written request of such Holder, without charge, at least one conformed copy of the Registration Statement and each amendment thereto, including financial statements and schedules, all documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference to the extent requested by such Person, and all exhibits to the extent requested by such Person (including those previously furnished or incorporated by reference); provided, that the Company shall have no obligation to provide any document pursuant to this clause that is available on the Commission’s EDGAR system;

 

(e)           Promptly deliver to each Holder, upon written request of such Holder, without charge, as many copies of the Prospectus or Prospectuses (including each form of prospectus) and each amendment or supplement thereto as such Persons may reasonably request in connection with resales by the Holder of Registrable Securities.  Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Company hereby consents to the use of such Prospectus and each amendment or supplement thereto by each of the selling Holders in connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable Securities covered by such Prospectus and any

 

6



 

amendment or supplement thereto, except after the giving of any notice pursuant to Section 3(b);

 

(f)            Prior to any resale of Registrable Securities by a Holder, use its commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify or cooperate with the selling Holders in connection with the registration or qualification (or exemption from the Registration or qualification) of such Registrable Securities for the resale by the Holder under the securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions within the United States as any Holder reasonably requests in writing, to keep each registration or qualification (or exemption therefrom) effective during the Effectiveness Period and to do any and all other acts or things reasonably necessary to enable the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities covered by each Registration Statement; provided that the Company shall not be required to qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified or subject the Company to any material tax in any such jurisdiction where it is not then so subject or file a general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction;

 

(g)           If requested by the Holders, cooperate with the Holders to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing Registrable Securities to be delivered to a transferee pursuant to the Registration Statement, which certificates shall be free of all restrictive legends, and to enable such Registrable Securities to be in such denominations and registered in such names as any such Holders may request;

 

(h)           Upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by this Section 3, as promptly as reasonably possible under the circumstances taking into account the Company’s good faith assessment of any adverse consequences to the Company and its shareholders of the premature disclosure of such event, prepare a supplement or amendment, including a post-effective amendment, to the Registration Statement or a supplement to the related Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, and file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered, neither the Registration Statement nor such Prospectus will contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.  If the Company notifies the Holders in accordance with clauses (ii) through (v) of Section 3(b) above to suspend the use of any Prospectus until the requisite changes to such Prospectus have been made, then the Holders shall suspend use of such Prospectus.  The Company will use its commercially reasonable best efforts to ensure that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed as promptly as is practicable.  The Company shall be entitled to exercise its right under this Section 3(h) to suspend the availability of the Registration Statement and Prospectus for a period not to exceed 90 days (which need not be consecutive days) in any 365 day period;

 

(i)            Comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission and the Trading Market; and

7

(ii)  Indemnification by Holders. Each Holder shall, notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, officers, agents and employees, each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, agents or employees of such controlling Persons, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against all Losses, as incurred, arising out of or are related to any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, any Prospectus, or any form of prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any Prospectus, or any form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading (i) to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statements or omissions are based solely upon information regarding such Holder furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder thereof expressly for use therein, (ii) to the extent, but only to the extent, that such information relates to such Holder or such Holder’s proposed method of distribution of Registrable Securities and was reviewed and approved in writing by such Holder or agent thereof expressly for use in a Registration Statement, such Prospectus or such form of Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto, or (iii) in the case of an occurrence of an

 

9



 

event of the type specified in Section 3(b)(ii)-(v) to the extent, but only to the extent, related to the use by such Holder of an outdated or defective Prospectus after the Company has notified such Holder in writing that the Prospectus is outdated or defective and prior to the receipt by such Holder of the Advice contemplated in Section 6(c).

 

(b)           Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. If any Proceeding shall be brought or asserted against any Person entitled to indemnity hereunder (an “Indemnified Party”), such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the person from whom indemnity is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing, and the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the payment of all fees and expenses incurred in connection with defense thereof; provided, that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations or liabilities pursuant to this Agreement, except (and only) to the extent that it shall be finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction (which determination is not subject to appeal or further review) that such failure shall have prejudiced the Indemnifying Party.

 

An Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such Proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party or Parties unless: (i) the Indemnifying Party has agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses; (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed promptly to assume the defense of such Proceeding; (iii) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed promptly to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party in any such Proceeding; or (iv) the named parties to any such Proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, and such Indemnified Party shall reasonably believe that a material conflict of interest is likely to exist if the same counsel were to represent such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party (in which case, if such Indemnified Party notifies the Indemnifying Party in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, the reasonable fees and expenses of one separate counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party).  The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any such Proceeding effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.  No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending Proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is a party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding.

 

The Indemnified Party shall promptly reimburse the Indemnifying Party for that portion of such reasonable fees and expenses applicable to such actions for which such Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder, determined based upon the relative faults of the parties.

 

(c)           Contribution. If the indemnification under Section 5(a) is unavailable to an Indemnified Party or insufficient to hold an Indemnified Party harmless for any Losses, then the Indemnifying Party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the

 

10



 

Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party in connection with the actions, statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.  The relative fault of such Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission of a material fact, has been taken or made by, or relates to information supplied by, such Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action, statement or omission.  The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of any Losses shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 5(b), any reasonable attorneys’ or other reasonable fees or expenses incurred by such party in connection with any Proceeding to the extent such party would have been indemnified for such fees or expenses if the indemnification provided for in this Section was available to such party in accordance with its terms.

 

The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 5(c) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph.

 

The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section are in addition to any other liability that the Indemnifying Parties may have to the Indemnified Parties.

 

6.             Miscellaneous.

 

(a)           Remedies. Subject to Section 2(c), (i) in the event of a breach by the Company or by a Holder, of any of their obligations under this Agreement, each Holder or the Company, as the case may be, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law and under this Agreement, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Agreement and (ii) the Company and each Holder agree that monetary damages would not provide adequate compensation for any losses incurred by reason of a breach by it of any of the provisions of this Agreement and hereby further agrees that, in the event of any action for specific performance in respect of such breach, it shall waive the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate

 

(b)           Compliance.  Each Holder covenants and agrees that it will comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act as applicable to it in connection with sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement and shall sell the Registrable Securities only in accordance with a method of distribution described in the Registration Statement.

 

(c)           Discontinued Disposition.  Each Holder agrees by its acquisition of such Registrable Securities that, upon receipt of a notice from the Company of the occurrence of any event of the kind described in Section 3(b)(ii) through Section 3(b)(v), such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of such Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement until it is advised in writing (the “Advice”) by the Company that

 

11



 

the use of the applicable Prospectus may be resumed, and has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in such Prospectus or Registration Statement subject to Section 3(d).  The Company agrees and acknowledges that any periods during which the Holder is required to discontinue the disposition of the Registrable Securities during the Effectiveness Period hereunder shall be subject to the provisions of Sections 2(c), 2(d) and 3(h), as applicable.  The Company will use its commercially reasonable best efforts to ensure that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed as promptly as it practicable.
