REGISTRATION RIGHTS

 

2.1           Demand Registration.

 

(a)           If at any time during the Eligible Period the Stockholder requests in writing (the “Stockholder Demand”) that the Company file a registration statement on Form S-3 (or any successor form to Form S-3) for a public offering of shares of the Registrable Shares the Company shall, subject to Section 2.4, file such Registration Statement with the SEC within forty-five (45) days after its receipt of such request.  The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement to be declared effective as soon thereafter as practicable and keep such registration statement effective until the Stockholder notifies the Company in writing that the Company is no longer required to keep such Registration Statement effective. In no event, however, shall the Company be required to (i) effect more than two (2) registrations pursuant to this section or (ii) keep one or more registration statements filed pursuant to this section effective for more than an aggregate of one hundred twenty (120) days.  In the event the registration is proposed to be part of a firm commitment underwritten public offering, the substantive provisions of Section 2.3 shall be

 

2



 

applicable to each such registration initiated under this Section 2.1 and the piggyback registration rights of Stockholder shall be applicable to a registration effected pursuant to this Section 2.1.

 

(b)           Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be obligated to take any action pursuant to subparagraph (a):

 

(i)            if the Company, within ten (10) days of the receipt of the Stockholder Demand, gives notice of its bona fide intention to effect the filing of a registration statement with the SEC within sixty (60) days of receipt of such demand (other than a registration relating primarily to the sale of securities to participants in a Company stock plan or employee benefit plan, a transaction covered by Rule 145 under the Securities Act or the resale of securities issued in such a transaction, a registration in which the only stock being registered is Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exchange of debt securities which are also being registered, or any registration on any form which does not include substantially the same information as would be required to be included in a registration statement covering the sale of the Registrable Shares); provided, however, that if such registration statement is not filed by the Company within 60 days of receipt of such Stockholder Demand and declared effective by the SEC within 120 days after the Company’s receipt of such Stockholder Demand, the Company shall be obligated to cause such Registrable Shares of the Stockholder to be registered in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.1 provided that the Company is actively employing in good faith all reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective; or

 

(ii)           during the period starting with the Company’s date of filing of, and ending on the date ninety (90) days immediately following, the effective date of any registration statement pertaining to securities of the Company (other than a registration of securities in a Rule 145 transaction or with respect to an offering solely to employees or consultants, or any other registration which is not appropriate for the registration of Registrable Shares), which registration was either filed as a result of the exercise by Stockholder of its rights pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof or was subject to Section 2.2 hereof.

 

2.2           Piggyback Registration.  If at any time, the Company proposes to register any of its Common Stock under the Securities Act in connection with a public offering of such Common Stock solely for cash (other than a registration relating primarily to the sale of securities to participants in a Company stock plan of employee benefit plan, a transaction covered by Rule 145 under the Securities Act or the resale of securities issued in such a transaction, a registration in which the only stock being registered is Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exchange of debt securities which are also being registered or any registration on any form which does not include substantially the same information as would be required to be included in a registration statement covering the sale of the Registrable Shares), the Company shall, at such time, give the Stockholder notice of such registration.  Upon the written request of the Stockholder, given within twenty (20) days after notice has been given by the Company in accordance with Section 6.1, the Company shall, subject to Section 2.3, cause to be registered under the Securities Act all of the Registrable Shares that the Stockholder has requested to be registered.

2.3           Underwriting Requirements.

 

(a)           In connection with any underwritten public offering, the Company shall not be required to include any of the Registrable Shares in such underwriting unless the Stockholder accepts the terms of the underwriting as agreed upon between the Company and the underwriters for the offering (which underwriters shall be selected by the Company).

 

(b)           If the total amount of securities, including Registrable Shares, requested to be included in an underwritten public offering exceeds the amount of securities that the underwriters determine in their sole discretion is compatible with the success of the offering, then the Company shall be required subject to the requirements of this Section 2.3(b) to include in the offering only that number of such securities, including Registrable Shares, which the underwriters determine in their sole discretion will not jeopardize the success of the offering.  In such event, the Company may reduce the number of Registrable Shares to be included in the offering.

 

2.4           Conditions and Limitations on Registration Rights.  The registration rights granted by this agreement are subject to the following additional conditions and limitations:

 

(a)           Delays and Suspension.  The Company may delay the filing of, or suspend or delay the effectiveness of a Registration Statement for up to thirty (30) days, if the Company shall furnish to the Stockholder a certificate signed by the Chief Executive Officer of the Company stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors it would be seriously detrimental to the Company or its stockholders for such a registration statement to be filed or declared effective or for an effective registration statement not to be suspended. In such event, the Company’s obligation under this Agreement to file a registration statement, seek effectiveness of a registration statement or keep such registration statement effective shall be deferred for a period not to exceed sixty (60) days from the receipt of the request to file such registration by the Stockholder, provided that the Company may not exercise this right of deferral for an aggregate of in excess of seventy-five (75) days in any one year period.  If the Company suspends the effectiveness of a Registration Statement, the Company will promptly deliver notice to the Stockholder of such suspension and will again deliver notice to the Stockholder when such suspension is no longer necessary.  The duration for which the Company is required to keep a Registration Statement effective shall be extended by an additional number of days equal to the length of any suspension period.

 

(b)           Amended or Supplemented Prospectus.  The Stockholder agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company described in Section 2.4(a) hereof that suspends an effective registration statement, the Stockholder shall forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Shares until such Stockholder’s receipt of copies of a supplemented or amended prospectus from the Company, or until it is advised in writing by the Company that the use of the prospectus may be resumed, and has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings which are incorporated by reference in the prospectus.  If so directed by the Company, the Stockholder will deliver to the Company all copies of the prospectus covering such Registrable Shares current at the time of receipt of such notice of suspension.

2.5           Information from Stockholder.  It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to take any action pursuant to this Agreement with respect to the Registrable Shares of the Stockholder that the Stockholder shall furnish to the Company such information regarding itself, the Registrable Shares held by it, and the intended method of disposition of such securities, as shall be required to effect the registration of the Registrable Shares.

 

2.6           Expenses of Registration.  The Company shall pay all registration, filing and qualification fees (including SEC filing fees and the listing fees of the quotation system or any stock exchange on which the Company securities are traded) attributable to the Registrable Shares registered under this Agreement, and any legal, accounting or other professional fees or expenses incurred by the Company. The Stockholder shall pay all underwriting discounts, selling commissions and stock transfer taxes, if any, attributable to the sale of such securities registered by the Stockholder and any legal, accounting or other professional fees incurred by the Stockholder.

 

2.7           Reports Under the Exchange Act.  The Company agrees to file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents and information required of the Company under the Exchange Act, and take such other actions as may be necessary to assure the availability of Form S-3 for use in connection with the registration rights provided in this Agreement and Rule 144 for use in connection with resales of the Registrable Shares.

 

2.8           Rule 144.  In the event that all of the Stockholder’s Registrable Shares may, under Rule 144, be resold or otherwise disposed of in a ninety (90) day period without registration under the Securities Act, the registration rights granted under this Agreement to such Stockholder and the obligations of the Company hereunder (other than its obligations under Section 2.7 and Article IV) to such Stockholder, shall automatically terminate in their entirety and be of no further force and effect whatsoever without any further action on the part of the Company or the Stockholder.

 

2.9           Market Stand-Off.  The Stockholder agrees that, upon the request of the underwriters managing any underwritten public offering of the Company’s securities in connection with an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, it will not offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, the Registrable Shares other than those included in the registration, without the prior written consent of such underwriters, for such period of time, not to exceed ninety (90) days (or such lesser period as executive officers or directors of the Company are so restricted with respect to the transfer of shares of Common Stock held by them) after the effective date of the registration statement relating thereto, provided that such registration was filed as a result of the exercise by Stockholder of its rights pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof or was subject to Section 2.2 hereof.  The Stockholder agrees that, if requested by the underwriters for such an offering, it will enter into a lock-up agreement directly with the underwriters under substantially the same terms and conditions and for the same time period as entered into by the executive officers and directors of the Company.  The Stockholder agrees that the Company may instruct its transfer agent to place stop-transfer notations in its records to enforce the provisions of this Section 2.9.

ARTICLE IV

 

INDEMNIFICATION

 

4.1           Indemnification.

 

(a)           To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify the Stockholder, each of its officers, directors and partners, legal counsel, agents and each person controlling the Stockholder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, with respect to which registration, qualification or compliance has been effected pursuant to this Agreement, and each underwriter, if any, and each person who controls any underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, against all expenses, claims, losses, damages and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), including any of the foregoing incurred in settlement of any litigation, (commenced or threatened), arising out of or based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any registration statement, prospectus, or other document, or any amendment or supplement thereto, incident to any such registration, qualification or compliance, or based on 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 light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or any violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, and any state securities laws or any rule, regulation or qualification promulgated thereunder, and the Company will reimburse the Stockholder, each of its officers, directors, and partners, legal counsel, agents and each person controlling the Stockholder, each such underwriter and each person who controls any such underwriter, for any legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred, in connection with investigating, preparing or defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action, provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such claim, loss, damage, liability or expense arises out of or is based on any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission, made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Stockholder, controlling person or underwriter expressly for use therein.

 

(b)           The foregoing indemnity is subject to the condition that, insofar as it relates to any such untrue statement, alleged untrue statement, omission or alleged omission made in a preliminary prospectus on file with the SEC at the time the registration statement becomes effective or the amended prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b), as amended from time to time (the “Final Prospectus”), such indemnity shall not inure to the benefit of:  (a) the Stockholder (i) if a copy of the Final Prospectus was not furnished by the Stockholder to the person asserting the loss, liability, claim or damage at or prior to the time such action as required by the Securities Act and such Final Prospectus would have cured the defect giving rise to the loss, liability, claim or damage or (ii) to the extent that such untrue statement, alleged untrue statement, omission or alleged

 

7



 

omission is made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Stockholder expressly for use therein, or (b) any underwriter (i) if a copy of the Final Prospectus was not furnished to the person asserting the loss, liability, claim or damage at or prior to the time such action as required by the Securities Act and the Final Prospectus would have cured the defect giving rise to the loss, liability, claim or damage or (ii) to the extent that such untrue statement, alleged untrue statement, omission or alleged omission is made in reliance on and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the underwriter for use therein.

 

(c)           The Stockholder will, if Registrable Shares held by the Stockholder are included in the securities as to which such registration, qualification or compliance is being effected, indemnify the Company, each of its directors and officers, each underwriter, if any, of the Company’s securities covered by such a registration statement, each person who controls the Company or such underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, against all expenses, claims, losses, damages and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), including any of the foregoing incurred in settlement of any litigation (commenced or threatened), arising out of or based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any such registration statement, prospectus, offering circular or other document, or any amendment or supplement thereto, incident to such registration, qualification or compliance, or 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 light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and, severally, and not jointly, will reimburse the Company, such directors, officers, persons, underwriters or control persons for any legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred, in connection with investigating or defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) or omission (or alleged omission) is made in such registration statement, prospectus, offering circular or other document in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Stockholder expressly for use therein.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the liability of the Stockholder under this Section 4.1 shall be limited to an amount equal to the net proceeds received by the Stockholder from the sale of shares in such registration.

 

(d)           Each party entitled to indemnification under this Section 4.1 (the “Indemnified Party”) shall give notice to the party required to provide indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) promptly after such Indemnified Party has actual knowledge of any claim as to which indemnity may be sought, and shall permit the Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of any such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom, provided that counsel for the Indemnifying Party, who shall conduct the defense of such claim or litigation, shall be approved by the Indemnified Party (whose approval shall not unreasonably be withheld), and the Indemnified Party may participate in such defense at such party’s expense, and provided further that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Agreement, unless the failure to give such notice is prejudicial to an Indemnifying Party’s ability to defend such action, and provided further that an Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, with the fees and expenses of such counsel to be paid by the Indemnifying Party, if representation of such Indemnified Party by the counsel retained by the Indemnifying Party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such Indemnified Party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding.  No

 

8



 

Indemnifying Party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation, shall, except with the consent of each Indemnified Party, 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 such Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

 

(e)           If the indemnification provided for in this Section 4.1 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an Indemnified Party with respect to any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to herein, the Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party thereunder, shall to the extent permitted by applicable law contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party on the one hand and of the Indemnified Party on the other in connection with the violation(s) that resulted in such loss, claim, damage or liability, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.  The relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and of the Indemnified Party shall be determined by a court of law by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Indemnifying Party or by the Indemnified Party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission; provided, that in no event shall any contribution by the Stockholder hereunder exceed the net proceeds from the offering received by the Stockholder.

 

(f)            The obligations of the Company and the Stockholder under this Section 4.1 shall survive completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in a registration statement and the termination of this Agreement.
