Annex A
Registration Rights
If at any time the Company proposes to file a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to an offering of equity securities, or securities or other obligations exercisable or exchangeable for, or convertible into, equity securities, by the Company for its own account or for security holders of the Company for their account (or by the Company and by security holders of the Company), other than a registration statement (i) filed in connection with an offering of securities to employees or directors of the Company pursuant to any employee stock option or other benefit plan, (ii) filed on Form S-4 or S-8 or any successor to such forms, (iii) for an exchange offer or offering of securities solely to the Company’s existing security holders, (iv) for a dividend reinvestment plan, or (v) solely in connection with a merger, share capital exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization, amalgamation, subsequent liquidation, or other similar business transaction that results in all of the Company’s shareholders having the right to exchange their Common Stock for cash, securities or other property of a non-capital raising bona fide business transaction, then the Company shall (x) give written notice of such proposed filing to the holders of the Registrable Securities as soon as practicable but in no event less than three (3) business days before the anticipated filing date, which notice shall describe the amount and type 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 (y) offer to the holder of the Registrable Securities in such notice the opportunity to register the sale of such number of the Registrable Securities as such holders may request in writing within three (3) business days following receipt by such holder of such notice (a “Piggy-Back Registration”), provided, however, the holder of the Registrable Securities shall only be entitled to one Piggy-Back Registration right. The Company shall include in such registration statement such Registrable Securities that are requested to be included therein within ten (10) 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 register or to delay registration of such securities, the Company may, at its election, give written notice of such determination to each holder of the Registrable Securities, and (x) in the case of a determination not to register, shall be relieved of its obligation to register any Registrable Securities in connection with such registration, and (y) in the case of a determination to delay registering, shall be permitted to delay registering any Registrable Securities for the same period as the delay in registering such other securities. If the offering pursuant to a Piggy-Back Registration is to be an underwritten offering, then the holder making a request for its Registrable Securities to be included therein must permit the sale or other disposition of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution thereof. The holder of the Registrable Securities proposing to distribute their securities through a Piggy-Back Registration that involves an underwriter or underwriters shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such Piggy-Back Registration and the holder of the Registrable Securities Shares shall be responsible for any fees or commissions due to such underwriters in connection with the sale of such Registrable Securities.
Reduction of Offering. If the managing underwriter or underwriters for a Piggy-Back Registration that is to be an underwritten offering advises the Company and the holder of Registrable Securities in writing that the dollar amount or number of the Common Stock which the Company desires to sell, as to which registration has been demanded pursuant to written contractual arrangements with persons other than the holders of the Registrable Securities, the Registrable Securities as to which registration has been requested under this section, as to which registration has been requested pursuant to the written contractual piggy-back registration rights of other securityholders of the Company, exceeds the maximum dollar amount or maximum number of securities that can be sold in such offering without adversely affecting the proposed offering price, the timing, the distribution method, or the probability of success of such offering (such maximum dollar amount or maximum number of securities, as applicable, the “Maximum Number of Securities”), then the Company shall include in any such registration: (A) first, the shares of Common Stock that the Company desires to sell; and (B) to the extent of the Maximum Number of Securities, the shares of Common Stock, pro-rata among holders, for the account of any persons, including the holder of Registrable Securities for which the Company is obligated to register pursuant to contractual piggy-back registration rights such as in this Agreement.
Withdrawal. Any holder of Registrable Securities may elect to withdraw such holder’s request for inclusion of the Registrable Securities in any Piggy-Back Registration by giving written notice to the Company of such request to withdraw prior to the effectiveness of the registration statement. The Company (whether on its own determination or as the result of a withdrawal by persons making a demand pursuant to written contractual obligations) may withdraw a registration statement at any time prior to the effectiveness of the registration statement. Notwithstanding any such withdrawal, the Company shall pay all expenses incurred by the holders of the Registrable Securities in connection with such Piggy-Back Registration.
Limitations on Piggy-Back Registration Rights. The Company has the right to exclude the holder of the Registrable Securities from any registration statement in the event the Company is contractually obligated to exclude such securities. Furthermore, in the event that the registration statement covers shares of the Company that are being offered in connection with an underwritten offering, the Company or the underwriter shall have a right to require the holders to a six (6) month lock-up period from the date of effectiveness of the registration statement.
Obligations of the Holder. In connection with any registration statement utilized by the Company to satisfy the registration rights pursuant to this section, the Holder agrees to cooperate with the Company in connection with the preparation of the registration statement, and Holder agrees that it will (i) respond within three (3) Business Days to any written request by the Company to provide or verify information regarding the holder or his Registrable Securities (including the proposed manner of sale) that may be required to be included in such registration statement and related prospectus pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC, and (ii) provide in a timely manner information regarding the proposed distribution by the holder of the Registrable Securities and such other information as may be requested by the Company from time to time in connection with the preparation of and for inclusion in the registration statement and related prospectus.
