The Company will use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act as soon as possible but, in any event, no later than the Effectiveness Deadline, and will use their reasonable best efforts to keep the Registration Statement (or a Subsequent Form S-3) continuously effective under the Securities Act until such date when all Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement cease to be Registrable Securities as determined by the counsel to the Company (the “Effectiveness Period”).

 

(b)            Suspension Periods. Notwithstanding Section 2(a), the Company may, at any time, delay the filing or delay or suspend the effectiveness of a Registration Statement or any pending or potential Demand Underwritten Offering or, without suspending such effectiveness, deliver a notice (a “Suspension Notice”) that instructs any selling Holders not to sell any securities included in the Registration Statement or delay the filing of any amendment or supplement pursuant to Section 3, if the board of directors of the Company has determined and promptly notifies the selling Holders in writing that in its reasonable good faith judgment (i) a material event has occurred or is likely to occur with respect to the Company that has not been publicly disclosed and, if disclosed, could reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the Company and its ability to consummate the registration of the resale of the Registrable Securities or (ii) such registration could reasonably be expected to materially interfere with any material financing, acquisition, corporate reorganization, merger, tender offer or other significant transaction involving the Company (a “Suspension Period”), by providing the selling Holders with written notice of such Suspension Period and the reasons therefor. The Company will use its reasonable best efforts to provide such notice at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the commencement of such a Suspension Period; provided, however, that in any event the Company will provide such notice no later than the commencement of such Suspension Period; provided, further, that in no event will a Suspension Period exceed 30 days and in no event shall the total number of days subject to a Suspension Period during any consecutive 12-month period exceed 45 days.

The Company will notify each Holder covered by the Registration Statement as promptly as reasonably practicable: (A) when the Prospectus or any prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment has been filed, and with respect to the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment, when the same has become effective; (B) of any request by the Commission for any amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or for additional information; (C) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose; (D) if, at any time prior to the closing contemplated by the Exchange Agreement, it becomes aware that the representations and warranties of the Company contained in such agreement cease to be true and correct; (E) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; (F) of the happening of any event which it believes may make any statement made in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any document incorporated therein by reference untrue, or of any material misstatement or omission, and which requires the making of any changes in the Registration statement, the Prospectus or any document incorporated therein by reference in order to make the statements therein not misleading; (G) upon the occurrence of a Suspension Period (items (C) through and including (G) being a “Discontinuance Notice”); and (H) upon the conclusion of a Suspension Period. In addition, during the pendency of any Demand Underwritten Offering pursuant to Section 2(e), but other than during a Suspension Period, the Company will provide notice to each Holder whose Registrable Securities are to be sold in such offering pursuant to the Registration Statement used in connection with the Demand Underwritten Offering, which Holders will be afforded the same notice set forth in clauses (A) through (H) of this Section 3(d) relating to such Registration Statement.

 

(e)            Withdrawal of Suspension Orders. The Company will use its reasonable best efforts to respond as promptly as reasonably possible to any comments received from the Commission with respect to any Registration Statement or any amendment thereto and to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the suspension of the qualification of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, or to prevent any such suspension.

 

11

 

 

(f)            Supplements & Amendments. Subject to Sections 2(a) and 2(e), if required, based on the advice of the Company’s counsel, the Company will prepare a supplement or post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement, the related Prospectus or any document incorporated therein by reference or file any other required document or, if necessary, renew or refile a Registration Statement prior to its expiration, so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of the Registrable Securities, (A) the Prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; (B) such Registration Statement remains continuously effective as to the applicable Registrable Securities for its applicable Effectiveness Period; (C) the related Prospectus may be supplemented by any required prospectus supplement, and as so supplemented may be filed pursuant to Rule 424 and (D) the Prospectus will be supplemented, if necessary, to update the disclosure of the number of shares that each Holder intends to sell, reflecting prior resales in accordance with guidance of the staff of the Commission (as such guidance may be substituted for, amended or supplemented by the staff of the Commission after the date of this Agreement). Furthermore, subject to a Holder’s compliance with its obligations under Section 2(d)(i), the Company will take such actions as are required to name such Holder as a selling Holder in a Registration Statement or any supplement thereto and to include (to the extent not theretofore included) in such Registration Statement the Registrable Securities identified in such Holder’s Selling Holder Questionnaire.

 

(g)            Listing. The Company will use its reasonable best efforts to cause all Warrant Shares that constitute Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement to be listed on each securities exchange on which identical securities issued by the Company are then listed if requested by the Holder thereof and, if not so listed, to be approved for listing on the national securities exchange on which the Company’s Common Stock is then listed.

 

(h)            Transfer Agent & Registrar. The Company will provide and cause to be maintained a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement from and after a date not later than the Effective Date of such Registration Statement.

 

(i)             Certificates. The Company will cooperate with the Holders to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of any certificates representing Registrable Securities to be delivered to a transferee pursuant to any Registration Statement, which certificates will 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 reasonably request.

 

(j)             CUSIPs. The Company, if necessary, will use its best efforts to provide a CUSIP number for the Registrable Securities, not later than the Effective Date of the Registration Statement.

 

(k)[Reserved.]

 

(l)            Legal Counsel. Holders will have the right to select one legal counsel, at the Company’s expense pursuant to Section 4, to review any Registration Statement or Prospectus prepared pursuant to Section 2 or this Section 3, which will be such counsel as designated by the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities then outstanding. The Company will reasonably cooperate with such legal counsel’s reasonable requests in performing their obligations under this Agreement.

 

12

 

 

(m)            Blue Sky. The Company will, prior to any public offering of Registrable Securities, use its reasonable best efforts to register or qualify or cooperate with the selling Holders or Managing Underwriters, in the case of a Demand Underwritten Offering, in connection with the registration or qualification (or exemption from such registration or qualification) of such Registrable Securities for offer and sale under the securities or blue sky laws (“Blue Sky”) of all jurisdictions within the United States that the selling Holders or Managing Underwriters, in the case of a Demand Underwritten Offering, request in writing be covered, to keep each such registration or qualification (or exemption therefrom) effective during the applicable Effectiveness Period and to do any and all other acts or things necessary or advisable to enable the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities covered by any Registration Statement, including in connection with a Demand Underwritten Offering; provided, that the Company will not be required to qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified or to become subject to any material tax in any such jurisdiction where it is not then so subject.

 

(n)            Subsequent Form S-3. If, at the time of filing of a Registration Statement, the Company is not eligible to use Form S-3 for transactions involving secondary offerings and the Company is not otherwise eligible to incorporate by reference prospectively into such Registration Statement, then at such time as the Company becomes eligible to register transactions involving secondary offerings on Form S-3, the Company may, in its sole discretion, file in accordance with the procedures outlined in this Section 3, including but not limited to all required notices to the Holders, an additional Registration Statement on Form S-3 to cover resales pursuant to Rule 415 of the Registrable Securities (a “Subsequent Form S-3”), and, when such Subsequent Form S-3 has been filed with the Commission, the Company may, concurrently with its filing of a request for acceleration of effectiveness of such Subsequent Form S-3, withdraw or terminate the original Registration Statement; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 3(n) will be interpreted to limit the Company’s obligations pursuant to Section 2(a).

 

(o)            Certain Covenants Relating to Underwritten Offerings. The following covenants will apply, in each case to the extent applicable, in connection with any Demand Underwritten Offering:

 

(i)             Underwriting Agreement and Related Matters. The Company will (1) execute and deliver any customary underwriting agreement or other agreement or instrument reasonably requested by the Managing Underwriters for such offering; (2) use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such customary legal opinions, comfort letters, “lock-up” agreements and officers’ certificates to be delivered in connection therewith; and (3) cooperate in good faith with such Managing Underwriters in connection with the disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to such offering.

 

(ii)            Marketing and Roadshow Matters. The Company will cooperate in good faith with the Managing Underwriters for such offering in connection with any marketing activities relating to such offering.

 

(iii)           FINRA Matters. The Company will cooperate and assist in any filings required to be made with FINRA in connection with such offering.

 

13

 

 

4.Registration Expenses.

 

All fees and expenses incident to the performance of or compliance with this Agreement by the Company will be borne by the Company whether or not any Registrable Securities are sold pursuant to a Registration Statement including, without limitation: (i) all registration and filing fees (including, without limitation, fees and expenses (A) with respect to filings required to be made with any Trading Market on which the Common Stock is then listed for trading, (B) related to compliance with applicable state securities or Blue Sky laws and (C) incurred in connection with the preparation or submission of any filing with FINRA); (ii) printing expenses (including, without limitation, expenses of printing certificates for Registrable Securities and of printing Prospectuses); (iii) messenger, telephone and delivery expenses; (iv) fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company and counsel pursuant to Section 3(l); (v) Securities Act liability insurance, if the Company so desires such insurance; (vi) fees and expenses of all other persons retained by the Company in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (vii) all of the Company’s own internal expenses incurred in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including, without limitation, all salaries and expenses of its officers and employees performing legal or accounting duties), the expense of any annual audit and the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the listing of the Registrable Securities on any securities exchange as required hereunder; provided, however, that each selling Holder will pay (i) all underwriting discounts, commissions, fees and expenses and all transfer taxes with respect to the Registrable Securities sold by such selling Holder; (ii) any fees and expenses of legal counsel other than the counsel selected pursuant to Section 3(l) and (iii) all other expenses incurred by such selling Holder and incidental to the sale and delivery of the shares to be sold by such Holder.

 

5.Indemnification.

 

(a)            Indemnification by the Company. The Company will, notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, the officers, directors, partners, members and shareholders of each Holder and each person who controls any Holder (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) and the directors and officers of any such controlling persons, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs (including, without limitation, reasonable costs of preparation and reasonable attorneys’ fees) and expenses (collectively, “Losses”), as incurred, arising out of or based upon, in the case of the Registration Statement or in any amendments thereto, any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained therein or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein to make the statements not misleading, or in the case of any Prospectus or form of prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto, or in any preliminary prospectus, any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained therein 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 light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, except to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statements or omissions (1) are made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of any Holder expressly for use in a Registration Statement, or 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 for use in the Registration Statement, such Prospectus or such form of Prospectus (it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of any Holder consists of the information described in Annex A hereto, as may be amended in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, for this purpose) or (2) resulted from the use by any Holder of an outdated or defective Prospectus after the Company has notified such Holder in writing that such Prospectus is outdated or defective and prior to the receipt by such Holder of an Advice or an amended or supplemented Prospectus, but only if and to the extent that following the receipt of the Advice or the amended or supplemented Prospectus the misstatement or omission giving rise to such Loss would have been corrected.

 

14

 

 

(b)            Indemnification by Holders. Each Holder will, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, officers, partners, members and shareholders and each person who controls the Company (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) and the directors and officers of such controlling person, in each case to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law from and against all Losses, as incurred, arising solely out of or based upon, in the case of the Registration Statement or in any amendments thereto, any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained therein or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein to make the statements not misleading, or in the case of any Prospectus or form of prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto, or in any preliminary prospectus, any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained therein 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 light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statements or omissions (1) are made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of any Holder expressly for use in a Registration Statement or Prospectus, or 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 for use in the Registration Statement or Prospectus (it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of any Holder consists of the information described in Annex A hereto, as may be amended in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, for this purpose) or (2) resulted from 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 an Advice or an amended or supplemented Prospectus, but only if and to the extent that following the receipt of the Advice or the amended or supplemented Prospectus the misstatement or omission giving rise to such Loss would have been corrected; provided, however, that the obligation to indemnify will be several and not joint and in no event will the liability of any selling Holder hereunder be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by any such selling Holder upon the sale of the Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement giving rise to such indemnification obligation.

 

(c)            Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. In order for a Person (the “Indemnified Party”) to be entitled to any indemnification provided for under this Agreement in respect of, arising out of or involving a claim or demand made by any Person against the Indemnified Party (a “Claim”), such Indemnified Party must notify the indemnifying party (“Indemnifying Party”) in writing, and in reasonable detail, of the Claim as promptly as reasonably possible after receipt by such Indemnified Party of notice of the Claim; provided, however, that failure to give such notification on a timely basis shall not affect the indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent the Indemnifying Party shall have been actually materially prejudiced as a result of such failure. Thereafter, the Indemnified Party shall deliver to the Indemnifying Party, promptly after the Indemnified Party’s receipt thereof, copies of all notices and documents (including court filings and related papers) received by the Indemnified Party relating to the Claim.

 

15

 

 

If a Claim is made against an Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense thereof and, if it so chooses and acknowledges its obligation in writing to indemnify the Indemnified Party therefor, to assume at its cost the defense thereof with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party and reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and to settle such suit, action, claim or proceeding in its discretion with an unconditional full release of the Indemnified Party and no admission of fault, liability, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party. Notwithstanding any acknowledgment made pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, the Indemnifying Party shall continue to be entitled to assert any limitation to the amount of Losses for which the Indemnifying Party is responsible pursuant to its indemnification obligations. Should the Indemnifying Party so elect to assume the defense of a Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for legal expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof unless (i) the Indemnifying Party has materially failed to defend, contest or otherwise protest in a timely manner against Claims or (ii) such Indemnified Party reasonably objects to such assumption on the grounds that there are defenses available to it which are different from or in addition to the defenses available to such Indemnifying Party and, as a result, a conflict of interest exists. Subject to the limitations in the preceding sentence, if the Indemnifying Party assumes such defense, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense thereof and to employ counsel, at its own expense, separate from the counsel employed by the Indemnifying Party, it being understood, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall control such defense. The Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the fees and expenses of counsel employed by the Indemnified Party for any period during which the Indemnifying Party has not assumed the defense thereof. If the Indemnifying Party chooses to defend any Claim, all the parties hereto shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution of such Claim. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the Indemnifying Party’s request) the provision to the Indemnifying Party of records and information which are reasonably relevant to such Claim, and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. Whether or not the Indemnifying Party shall have assumed the defense of a Claim, the Indemnified Party shall not admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge, such Claim without the Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).

 

The obligations of the Company and the Holders under this Section 5 shall survive completion of any offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement and the termination of this Agreement. The Indemnifying Party’s liability to any such Indemnified Party hereunder shall not be extinguished solely because any other Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnity hereunder.

 

(d)            Contribution. If a claim for indemnification under Section 5(a) or 5(b) is unavailable to an Indemnified Party (by reason of public policy or otherwise), then each Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, will contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such Losses, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the 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 will 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 will be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 5(c), 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 Section 5(a) or 5(b) 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 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 this Section 5. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 5, no Holder will be required to contribute, in the aggregate, any amount in excess of the amount by which the proceeds actually received by such Holder from the sale of the Registrable Securities subject to the Proceeding exceeds the amount of any damages that such Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. 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.

 

16

 

 

(e)            Other. The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section 5 are in addition to any liability that the Indemnifying Parties may have to the Indemnified Parties.

 

6.Reports Under Exchange Act.

 

With a view to making available to the Holders the benefits of Rule 144 and any other rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit a Holder to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration, the Company shall, at all times that Registrable Securities are outstanding:

 

(a)            make and keep available adequate current public information, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144; and

Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address for such notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service will constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof.

In the event of a breach by the Company of its obligations under this Agreement, each Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Agreement.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

We are registering the Securities covered by this prospectus on behalf of the Selling Securityholders. All costs, expenses and fees connected with the registration of these Securities will be borne by us. Any brokerage commissions and similar expenses connected with selling the Securities will be borne by the Selling Securityholders. The Selling Securityholders may offer and sell the Securities covered by this prospectus from time to time in one or more transactions. The term “Selling Securityholders” includes pledgees, donees, transferees and other successors-in-interest who may acquire Securities through a pledge, gift, partnership distribution or other non-sale related transfer from the Selling Securityholders. The Selling Securityholders will act independently of the Company in making decisions with respect to the timing, manner and size of each sale. These transactions include:

 

·through one or more underwriters or dealers in a public offering and sale by them, whether individually or through an underwriting syndicate led by one or more managing underwriters;

 

·in “at the market offerings” within the meaning of Rule 415(a)(4) under the Securities Act, to or through a market maker or into an existing trading market, on an exchange or otherwise;

 

·directly to a limited number of purchasers or to a single purchaser;

 

·through agents;

 

·by delayed delivery contracts or by remarketing firms;

 

·ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker solicits purchasers;

 

·purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its own account pursuant to this prospectus;

 

·exchange or over-the-counter distributions in accordance with the rules of the exchange or other market;

 

·block trades in which the broker-dealer attempts to sell the Securities as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

 

·transactions in options, swaps or other derivatives that may or may not be listed on an exchange;

 

·a combination of any such method of sale; or

 

·any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

 

In connection with distributions of the Securities or otherwise, the Selling Securityholders may:

 

·sell the Securities:

 

·in negotiated transactions;

 

1

 

 

·in one or more transactions at a fixed price or prices, which may be changed from time to time;

 

·at market prices prevailing at the times of sale;

 

·at prices related to such prevailing market prices; or

 

·at negotiated prices;

 

·sell the Securities:

 

·on a national securities exchange;

 

·in the over-the-counter market; or

 

·in transactions otherwise than on an exchange or in the over-the-counter market, or in combination;

 

·sell the Securities short and/or deliver the Securities to close out short positions;

 

·enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions which require the delivery to them of Securities covered by this prospectus, which they may in turn resell; and

 

·pledge Securities to broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which, upon a default, they may in turn resell.

 

The Selling Securityholders may also resell all or a portion of the Securities in open market transactions in reliance upon Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, as permitted by that rule, Section 4(a)(1) under the Securities Act, if available, or any other exemption from the registration requirements that become available, rather than under this prospectus.

 

If underwriters are used in the sale of any Securities, such Securities will be acquired by the underwriters for their own account and may be resold from time to time in one or more transactions described above. Securities may be either offered to the public through underwriting syndicates represented by managing underwriters or directly by underwriters. We may use underwriters with whom we have a material relationship. As applicable, we will describe in each accompanying prospectus supplement the name of the underwriter(s) and the nature of any such relationship(s).

 

If a dealer is used in an offering of Securities, the dealer may purchase the securities, as principal. The dealer may then resell the Securities to the public at varying prices to be determined by the dealer at the time of sale.

 

Securities may be sold directly or through agents designated from time to time. We will name any agent involved in the offering and sale of such shares and we will describe any commissions paid to the agent in the prospectus supplement. Unless the prospectus supplement states otherwise, the agent will act on a best-efforts basis for the period of its appointment.

 

Underwriters, dealers and agents may be entitled to indemnification by us against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribution with respect to payments made by the underwriters, dealers or agents, under agreements between us and the underwriters, dealers and agents.

Underwriters who participate in the distribution of Securities may be granted an option to purchase additional Securities in connection with the distribution.

 

Underwriters, dealers or agents may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from us or our purchasers, as their agents in connection with the sale of securities. These underwriters, dealers or agents may be considered to be underwriters under the Securities Act. As a result, discounts, commissions or profits on resale received by the underwriters, dealers or agents may be treated as underwriting discounts and commissions. Each accompanying prospectus supplement will identify any such underwriter, dealer or agent and describe any compensation received by them from us. Any initial public offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed or re-allowed or paid to dealers may be changed from time to time.

 

In connection with sales of Securities, the Selling Securityholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of Securities in the course of hedging in positions they assume. The Selling Securityholders may also sell Securities short and the Selling Securityholders may deliver Securities covered by this prospectus to close out short positions and to return borrowed Securities in connection with such short sales. The Selling Securityholders may also loan or pledge Securities to broker-dealers that in turn may sell such Securities, to the extent permitted by applicable law. The Selling Securityholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of Securities offered by this prospectus, which Securities such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).

 

The Selling Securityholders may, from time to time, pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the Securities owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the Securities from time to time pursuant to this prospectus or any amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act, amending, if necessary, the list of Selling Securityholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as Selling Securityholders under this prospectus. The Selling Securityholders may also may transfer and donate Securities in other circumstances in which case the transferees, donees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.

 

Any underwriter may engage in over-allotment transactions, stabilizing transactions, short- covering transactions and penalty bids in accordance with Regulation M under the Exchange Act of 1934.

 

Underwriters, broker-dealers or agents who may become involved in the sale of Securities may engage in transactions with, and perform other services for, us in the ordinary course of their business for which they receive compensation.

 

In effecting sales, the Selling Securityholders may engage broker-dealers or agents, who may in turn arrange for other broker-dealers to participate. Broker-dealers or agents may receive commissions, discounts or concessions from the Selling Securityholders and/or from the purchasers of Securities for whom the broker-dealers may act as agents or to whom they sell as principal, or both. The compensation to a particular broker-dealer may be in excess of customary commissions. To our knowledge, there is currently no plan, arrangement or understanding between any Selling Securityholders and any broker-dealer or agent regarding the sale of any Securities by the Selling Securityholders.

The Selling Securityholders, any broker-dealers or agents and any participating broker-dealers that act in connection with the sale of the Securities covered by this prospectus may be “underwriters” under the Securities Act with respect to those Securities and will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of that Act. Any profit that the Selling Securityholders realize, and any compensation that any broker-dealer or agent may receive in connection with any sale, including any profit realized on resale of Securities acquired as principal, may constitute underwriting discounts and commissions. If the Selling Securityholders are deemed to be underwriters, the Selling Securityholders may be subject to certain liabilities under statutes including, but not limited to, Section 11, 12 and 17 of the Securities Act and Section 10(b) and Rule 10b-5 under the Exchange Act.

The securities laws of some states may require the Selling Securityholders to sell the Securities in those states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. These laws may also require that we register or qualify the Securities for sale in those states unless an exemption from registration and qualification is available and the Selling Securityholders and we comply with that exemption. In addition, the anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 may apply to sales of Securities in the market and to the activities of the Selling Securityholders and their affiliates. Regulation M may restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of the Securities to engage in market- making activities with respect to the Securities. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of the Securities and the ability of any person to engage in market-making activities with respect to the Securities.

 

If any Selling Securityholder notifies us that he has entered into any material arrangement with a broker-dealer for the sale of Securities through a block trade, special offering, exchange distribution, over-the-counter distribution or secondary distribution, or a purchase by a broker or dealer, we will file any necessary supplement to this prospectus to disclose:

 

·the number of Securities involved in the arrangement;

 

·the terms of the arrangement, including the names of any underwriters, dealers or agents who purchase Securities, as required;

 

·the proposed selling price to the public;

 

·any discount, commission or other underwriting compensation;

 

·the place and time of delivery for the Securities being sold;

 

·any discount, commission or concession allowed, reallowed or paid to any dealers; and

 

·any other material terms of the distribution of Securities.

 

In addition, if the Selling Securityholder notifies us that a donee, pledgee, transferee or other successor-in-interest of the Selling Securityholder intends to sell more than [ ] Securities, we will file a supplement to this prospectus.
