the FFAC Shares and the Warrant (as defined below):
(1) The Shares are not, and if and when issued neither (i) the
Warrant and
any securities issued upon exercise of the Warrant will be,
registered under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("Securities Act"), or under
any state "blue
sky" laws (collectively, "State Acts"). The Shares are, and if
and when issued
(i) the Warrant and any securities issued upon exercise of the
Warrant will be,
"restricted securities," as that term is defined in U.S.
Securities and Exchange
Commission ("SEC") Rule 144, and may not be sold, assigned,
transferred or
otherwise disposed of unless registered under the Securities Act
and all
applicable State Acts or unless exemptions from such
registration requirements
are available for such transaction.
(2) The certificate or certificates evidencing the FFAC Shares
to be
delivered to Utilicraft Aerospace, or, if and when issued,
evidencing (i) the
Warrant and any securities issued upon exercise of the Warrant
will bear a
restrictive legend substantially in the following form as long
as applicable:
"THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED
UNDER THE SECURITIES
ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "ACT"), OR ANY STATE SECURITIES
LAW. THESE
SECURITIES HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND NOT WITH A VIEW
TO DISTRIBUTION
OR RESALE, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, MORTGAGED, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED
OR OTHERWISE
TRANSFERRED WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT COVERING
THESE
SECURITIES UNDER THE ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES
LAWS OR AN OPINION
OF COUNSEL IN FORM AND SUBSTANCE SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY
THAT REGISTRATION
OF THESE SECURITIES IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER THE ACT OR UNDER
APPLICABLE STATE
SECURITIES LAWS."
(3) (i) If, at any time after the first anniversary of the
Closing Date,
FFAC files a registration statement under the Securities Act for
purposes of a
public offering of securities of the FFAC for its own account,
it shall notify
UITA in writing (the "Company Notice"). UITA shall have the
right (the
"Piggyback Right"), subject to the limitations set forth in this
Section, to
include in any such registration statement a maximum of ten
percent (10%) of its
FFAC Shares. In order to exercise the Piggyback Right, UITA
shall give written
notice to FFAC (the "Piggyback Notice") no later than fifteen
(15) days
following the date on which the FFAC gives the Company Notice.
The Piggyback
Notice shall set forth the number of FFAC' Shares that UITA
desires to include
in the registration statement. All expenses of any such
registration will be
paid by the FFAC.
<PAGE>
(ii) If the registration statement under which FFAC gives a
notice
under this Section is for an underwritten offering, FFAC shall
so advise UITA in
the Company Notice. In such event, the right of any of UITA's
FFAC shares to be
included in a registration pursuant to this Section shall be
conditioned upon
UITA's participation in such underwritten offering and the
inclusion of UITA's
FFAC' Shares participation in such underwritten offering
provided herein. All
holders of FFAC' Shares proposing to distribute their shares by
means of such
underwritten offering (including without limitation UITA) shall
enter into an
underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or
underwriters
selected for such underwriting by FFAC. Notwithstanding any
other provision of
this Agreement, if the underwriter determines in good faith that
marketing or
other factors require a limitation of the number of shares to be
underwritten,
the number of shares that may be included in the underwriting
shall be
allocated, first, to FFAC; second, if and to the extent
permitted by the
underwriter, to UITA with respect to the FFAC' Shares; and
third, if and to the
extent permitted by the underwrite, to any other stockholder of
FFAC (i.e.,
other than UITA) on a pro rata basis. No such reduction shall
reduce the
securities being offered by FFAC for its own account to be
included in the
registration and underwriting. If UITA disapproves of the terms
of any such
underwriting, UITA may elect to withdraw therefrom by written
notice to FFAC and
the underwriter, delivered at least twenty (20) business days
prior to the
effective date of the registration statement.
(iii) FFAC shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any
registration initiated by it under this Section prior to the
effectiveness of
such registration whether or not UITA has elected to include
securities in such
registration.
(4) With a view to making available to UITA the benefits of SEC
Rule 144
and any other rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time
permit UITA to
sell securities of FFAC to the public without registration, FFAC
agrees to use
reasonable efforts, after the first anniversary of Closing Date
and so long as
UITA owns any FFAC's Shares, to: (i) make and keep available
adequate current
public information with respect to FFAC, as those terms are
understood and
defined in SEC Rule 144; (ii) to file with the SEC in a timely
manner all
reports and other documents required of FFAC under the
Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") (at any time after FFAC
has become
subject to such reporting requirements); and (iii) furnish to
UITA forthwith
upon request (A) to the extent accurate, a written statement by
the Company that
it has complied with the reporting requirements of SEC Rule 144,
the Securities
Act, and the Exchange Act, or that it qualifies as a registrant
whose securities
may be resold pursuant to Form S-3 (at any time after FFAC so
qualifies); and
(B) to the extent accurate, a copy of the most recent annual or
quarterly report
of FFAC and such other reports and documents so filed by
FFAC.
(e) Excluded property. FFAC shall not acquire, and UITA shall
retain,
all assets and property of UITA which are not assigned to FFAC
pursuant to this
Agreement.
(f) Transfer of Lease Interests. UITA covenants and agrees that
it
will transfer to FFAC, for no additional consideration, any
lease or leasehold
interest in the properties it has in its possession now
(referred to in Exhibit
B.) With respect to all leases and leasehold interests currently
held by UITA
(referred to in Exhibit B), FFAC shall furnish an estoppel
certificate from each
lessor under such leases, whereby the lessors will verify that
each of the
leases is not in default and is in full force and effect as of
the date of
closing. Such estoppel certificate shall contain a provision
whereby the lessor
consents to the transfer. With respect to all leases and
leasehold interests
currently held by UITA (referred to in Exhibit B), FFAC will
accept or reject
such assignment at closing. With respect to all leases and
leasehold interests
that UITA obtains after the Effective Date, within 10 days of
entering into or
otherwise obtaining such lease or leasehold interest, UITA shall
provide written
notice thereof to FFAC, which notice shall be accompanied by a
complete and
correct copy of the applicable lease and any other documents and
agreements
related thereto, along with an estoppel certificate as described
above in this
Section 2(f) from the applicable lessor; FFAC shall have 30 days
after receipt
of all of the foregoing from UITA to accept or reject the
assignment of such new
lease or leasehold interest.
