Requested Registration
.
(a)
Request for
Registration . If the
Company receives from an Initiating Holder at any time not earlier
than sixty (60) days from the date of this Agreement, a written
request that the Company effect a registration having aggregate
proceeds which (after deduction for underwriter’s discounts
and expenses related to the issuance) exceed $7,500,000, the
Company will:
(i) promptly give written notice of the proposed
registration to Holder; and
(ii) as soon as practicable, use its reasonable best
efforts to effect such registration as may be so requested and as
would permit or facilitate the sale and distribution of all or such
portion of such Registrable Securities as are specified in such
request, together with all or such portion of the Registrable
Securities of any Holder joining in such request as are specified
in a written request delivered to the Company within twenty (20)
days after receipt of such written notice from the Company pursuant
to clause (i) above; provided , however , that the
Company will not be obligated to effect more than two registrations
under this Section 1.2 .
The
registration statement filed pursuant to the request of the
Initiating Holder, may, subject to the provisions of
Sections 1.2(c) and 1.3 , include other securities of
the Company which are held by officers or directors of the Company
or which are held by persons who, by virtue of agreements with the
Company, are entitled to include their securities in any such
registration. In addition, the Company will have the right to
include any of its securities in any such registration.
(b)
Underwriting
. The right of any Holder to
registration pursuant to this Section 1.2 will be
conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in the related
underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable
Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided herein. A
Holder may elect to include in such underwriting all or a part of
the Registrable Securities held by such Holder.
EXHIBIT
D
STOCK PURCHASE AND LOAN OPTION
AGREEMENT
(c)
Procedures and Cutback
. If holders of securities of the
Company (other than Holder) who are entitled by contract with the
Company to have securities included in such a registration (such
other shareholders being collectively referred to as the “
Other Shareholders ”) request such inclusion, the
Initiating Holder will, on behalf of all Holders, offer to include
the securities of such Other Shareholders in the underwriting and
may condition such offer on their acceptance of the further
applicable provisions of this Agreement. All Holders proposing to
distribute their securities through such underwriting will
(together with the Company and Other Shareholders proposing to
distribute their securities through such underwriting) enter into
an underwriting agreement in customary form with the representative
of the underwriter or underwriters (the “ Underwriter
”) selected for such underwriting by the Company, acting in
its reasonable discretion, and approved by the Initiating Holder.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 1.2 , if
the Underwriter, in its sole discretion, determines that marketing
factors require a limitation on the number of shares to be
underwritten, the Underwriter may (subject to the allocation
priority set forth below) limit the number of Registrable
Securities to be included in the registration and underwriting. The
Company will so advise all such Other Shareholders requesting
registration, and the number of shares of securities that are
entitled to be included in the registration and underwriting will
be allocated in the following order of priority: first, to the
Initiating Holder and any other Holders; second, to Other
Shareholders as nearly as practicable, to the respective amounts of
securities which they had requested to be included in such
registration at the time of filing the registration statement, and
third, to the Company with respect to any securities which it
desires to sell for its own account. If any Holder or Other
Shareholder disapproves of the terms of any such underwriting, it
may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company
and the Underwriter. Any Registrable Securities excluded or
withdrawn from such underwriting will be withdrawn from such
registration.
1.3
Company Registration
.
(a) If the Company determines at any time, and from
time to time, to register any of its securities for its own account
or for the account of any other person (other than a registration
under Section 1.2 or 1.5 , a registration relating
solely to employee benefit plans or a registration relating solely
to a transaction covered by Rule 145 promulgated under the
Securities Act or a registration on any registration form which
does not permit secondary sales or does not include substantially
the same information as would be required to be included in a
registration statement covering the sale of Registrable
Securities), the Company will:
(i) promptly give to Holder written notice thereof;
and
(ii) include in such registration (and any related
qualification under blue sky laws or other compliance), and in any
underwriting involved therein, all of the Registrable Securities
specified in a written request or requests made by Holder within
twenty (20) days after receipt of the written notice from the
Company described in clause (i) above (“ Piggyback
Registration Rights ”), except as set forth in Section
1.3(b) below. Such written request may specify all or a part of
Holder’s Registrable Securities.
EXHIBIT
D
STOCK PURCHASE AND LOAN OPTION
AGREEMENT
(b)
Underwriting
. If the registration of which the
Company gives notice is for a registered public offering involving
an underwriting, the Company will so advise Holder as a part of the
written notice given pursuant to Section 1.3(a)(i) . In such
event the right of Holder to registration pursuant to Section
1.3 will be conditioned upon Holder’s participation in
such underwriting and the inclusion of Holder’s Registrable
Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided herein. The
Holder (together with the Company and the Other Shareholders
distributing their securities through such underwriting) shall
enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the
Underwriter selected for underwriting by the Company.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 1.3 , if
the Underwriter in its sole discretion determines that marketing
factors require a limitation on the number of shares to be
underwritten, the Underwriter may (subject to the allocation
priority set forth below) limit the number of Registrable
Securities to be included in the registration and underwriting. The
Company will so advise Holder and Other Shareholders requesting
registration, and the number of shares of securities that are
entitled to be included in the registration and underwriting will
be allocated in the following order or priority: first, to the
Company with respect to securities to be sold for its own account;
second, to the Holder; and third to Other Shareholders proposing to
distribute their securities through such underwriting (pro rata
among them on the basis of the number of securities requested to be
included in such registration by such Other Shareholders);
provided , however , that in no event will the
Registrable Securities requested to be included by the Holder be
reduced to a number that is less than 10% of the total number of
securities to be included in such registration and underwriting by
persons (including the Company) distributing shares through such
underwriting. If Holder or Other Shareholders disapprove of the
terms of any such underwriting, it may elect to withdraw therefrom
by written notice to the Company and the Underwriter. Any
Registrable Securities or other securities excluded or withdrawn
from such underwriting will be withdrawn from such
registration.
1.4
Rights of Holder
. From and after the date of this
Agreement, the Company shall not grant any other registration
rights superior to, pari passu with, or
which conflict in any way with those granted to the Investor
without the consent of the Investor.
1.5
Registration on Form
S-3 .
(a) After the Company has qualified as a registrant
whose securities may be sold pursuant to Form S-3 (or any similar
successor form), it will forthwith notify Holder that the Company
so qualifies. After the Company has qualified for the use of Form
S-3, the Holder will have the right to request one registration on
Form S-3 during any nine-month period (such requests will be in
writing and will state the number of Registrable Securities to be
disposed of and the intended method of disposition of such
Registrable Securities by Holder); provided , however
, that the Company will not be required to effect a registration
pursuant to this Section 1.5 (i) unless the Holder
proposes to dispose of Registrable Securities having an aggregate
public offering price (before deduction of underwriting discounts
and sales commissions) of at least $1,000,000 or (ii) within six
months following the effective date of any registration statement
(other than a registration statement with respect to an employee
stock plan or a registration of securities in a Rule 145
transaction).
(b) The Company will give notice to Holder of the
receipt of a request for registration pursuant to this
Section 1.5 and will provide a reasonable opportunity
for Holder to participate in the registration. Subject to the
foregoing, the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to
effect promptly the registration of all shares of Registrable
Securities on Form S-3 to the extent requested by Holder for
purposes of disposition. The Company and Other Shareholders will
have the right to participate in such registration in the manner
provided in Section 1.2 , except that in the event the
Underwriter determines that market factors require a limitation on
the number of shares to be underwritten, then shares will be
excluded from such registration and underwriting pursuant to the
allocation method (and subject to any limitations) described in
Section 1.2(c) . Any registration pursuant to this
Section 1.5 will not be counted as a registration pursuant to
Section 1.2(a) .
EXHIBIT
D
STOCK PURCHASE AND LOAN OPTION
AGREEMENT
1.6
Expenses of
Registration . All
Registration Expenses incurred in connection with any registration
hereunder will be borne by the Company. All Selling Expenses
incurred in connection with any registration hereunder will be
borne by the holders of the securities to be registered and sold
pro rata on the basis of the number of their shares so registered
and sold. The Company will not be required to pay any Registration
Expenses if, as a result of the withdrawal of a request for
registration the Initiating Holder (if such registration is
requested pursuant to Section 1.2(a) above), or the
requesting Holder (if such registration is requested pursuant to
Section 1.5(a) above), the registration statement does not
become effective; provided , however , that if at the
time of such withdrawal, the Initiating Holder has learned of a
material adverse change in the condition, business, or prospects of
the Company from that known to such Holder at the time of its
request and has withdrawn the request, in writing, within ten
(10) days following disclosure by the Company of such material
adverse change, then the Holder will not be required to pay any of
such expense and such registration will not be considered a
registration for purposes of Section 1.2(a) or 1.5(a)
. If the Company is not required to pay any Registration Expenses
as a result of such a withdrawal, then the Holder and Other
Shareholders requesting registration will bear such Registration
Expenses pro rata on the basis of the number of their shares so
included in the registration request, and such registration will
not be considered a registration for purposes of
Section 1.2(a) or 1.5(a) .
1.7
Additional Registration
Procedures . In the case
of each registration, qualification or compliance effected by the
Company pursuant to this Section 1 , the Company will
keep Holder advised in writing as to the initiation of each
registration, qualification and compliance and as to the completion
thereof. At its expense the Company will:
(a) Use its reasonable best efforts to register and
qualify the securities covered by such registration statement under
such other securities or “blue sky” laws of such
jurisdictions as may be reasonably requested by the Holder;
provided , however , that the Company will not be
required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to
qualify to do business or to file a general consent to service of
process in any such states or jurisdictions;
(b) Keep such registration effective until the
earliest to occur of the following: (i) all Registrable
Securities registered pursuant to Section 1.2 , 1.3
or 1.5 , as the case may be, have been sold; (ii) the
Holder of the Registrable Securities registered thereunder agrees
to terminate the registration; (iii) the registration rights
of Holder terminates under Section 1.2 , 1.3 or
1.5 , as the case may be; (iv) ninety (90) days have
elapsed since the date the registration was declared or ordered
effective or (v) the Registrable Securities registered thereunder
can be sold pursuant to Rule 144.
(c) Furnish to the Holder such numbers of copies of
a prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, in conformity
with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such other
documents as they may reasonably request in order to facilitate the
disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by them;
EXHIBIT
D
STOCK PURCHASE AND LOAN OPTION
AGREEMENT
(d) Notify Holder at any time when a prospectus
relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities
Act of the happening of any event as a result of which the
prospectus included in such registration statement, as then in
effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to
state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the
circumstances then existing;
(e) Furnish, at the request of Holder, on the date
that such Registrable Securities are delivered to the Underwriters
for sale in connection with a registration pursuant to this
Agreement, if such securities are being sold through Underwriters,
or, if such securities are not being sold through Underwriters, on
the date that the registration statement with respect to such
securities becomes effective, (i) a copy of an opinion, dated
such date, of the counsel representing the Company for the purposes
of such registration, in form and substance as is customarily given
to underwriters in an underwritten public offering, addressed to
the Underwriters, if any, and (ii) a copy of a letter dated
such date, from the independent certified public accountants of the
Company, in form and substance as is customarily given by
independent certified public accountants to underwriters in an
underwritten public offering, addressed to the Underwriters, if
any;
(f) Cause all such Registrable Securities registered
hereunder to be listed on each securities exchange on which similar
securities issued by the Company are then listed; and
(g) Provide a transfer agent and registrar for all
Registrable Securities registered pursuant hereto and a CUSIP
number for all such Registrable Securities, in each case not later
than the effective date of such registration.
(a) To the extent permitted by law, the Company will
indemnify Holder, each of such Holder’s officers, directors,
members and partners and each person controlling such Holder 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, against all expenses, claims,
losses, damages and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) to
which they may become subject under the Securities Act, the
Exchange Act or other federal or state securities laws, including,
without limitation, 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 or prospectus, or any
amendment or supplement thereto, incident to any such registration,
or any such document, offering circular or other document incident
to 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 light of the circumstances in which they were made, not
misleading, or any violation by the Company of any rule or
regulation promulgated under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act
or other federal or state securities laws applicable to the Company
and relating to action or inaction required of the Company in
connection with any such registration, qualification or compliance,
and will reimburse Holder and each officer, director, member,
partner and person controlling such Holder for any legal and any
other expenses reasonably incurred, within thirty (30) days after a
request for reimbursement has been
EXHIBIT
D
STOCK PURCHASE AND LOAN OPTION
AGREEMENT
received by the
Company, in connection with investigating, defending or settling
any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action; provided
, however , that the Company will not be liable to Holder
under this Section 1.8(a) 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
Holder or its authorized agents specifically for purposes of
inclusion in such registration statement or prospectus; and
provided further , however , that the
indemnity agreement contained in this Section 1.8(a)
will not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss,
claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected
without the consent of the Company, which consent will not be
unreasonably withheld.
(b) To the extent permitted by law, Holder will, if
Registrable Securities held by such Holder are included in the
securities as to which a registration, qualification or compliance
is being effected pursuant to this Agreement, indemnify the
Company, each of its directors and officers and each Underwriter,
if any, of the Company’s securities covered by a registration
statement or prospectus relating to such registration,
qualification or compliance, each person who controls the Company
or such other person within the meaning of Section 15
of the Securities Act, against all claims, losses, damages and
liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) to which any of the
foregoing persons may become subject under the Securities Act, the
Exchange Act or other federal or state securities laws, including,
without limitation, any of the foregoing incurred in settlement of
any litigation, commenced or threatened, arising out of or based on
any untrue statement of a material fact contained in any such
registration statement or prospectus, and any amendment or
supplement thereto, incident to any such registration, or any such
document, offering circular or other document incident to such
qualification or compliance, or any omission to state therein a
material fact necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading, and will reimburse the Company, such directors,
officers, legal counsel, accountants, Underwriters or control
persons for any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred,
within thirty (30) days after a request for reimbursement has been
received by the indemnifying Holder, in connection with
investigating, defending or settling any such claim, loss, damage,
liability or action, in each case to the extent, but only to the
extent, that such untrue statement or 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 such Holder or its
authorized agent specifically for purposes of inclusion in such
registration statement, prospectus, offering circular or other
document; provided , however , that the indemnity
agreement contained in this Section 1.8(b) will not
apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim,
damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without
the consent of the Holder from which indemnification is sought
pursuant to this Section 0 in respect of such loss,
claim, damage, liability or action, which consent will not be
unreasonably withheld; and provided further ,
however , that Holder’s liability for indemnification
hereunder will be limited to the amount of net proceeds, if any,
received by Holder from the sale of securities described in the
first sentence of this Section 1.8(b) .
(c) Each party entitled to indemnification under
this Section 1.8 (the “ Indemnified Party
”) will give notice to the party required to provide
indemnification (the “ Indemnifying Party ”)
promptly after such Indemnified Party has actual knowledge of any
claim, loss, damages or liability (or action in respect thereof) as
to which indemnity may be sought and will permit the Indemnifying
Party to assume the defense of any such claim, loss, damages or
liability (or action in respect thereof); provided ,
however , that counsel for the Indemnifying Party, who will
conduct the defense of such claim, loss, damages or liability (or
action in respect thereof), will be subject to approval by
the
EXHIBIT
D
STOCK PURCHASE AND LOAN OPTION
AGREEMENT
Indemnified
Party (whose approval will not be unreasonably withheld), and the
Indemnified Party may participate in such defense at such
party’s expense, including any legal fees incurred; and
provided further , however , that the
failure of any Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein
will not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under
this Agreement, except to the extent, but only to the extent, that
the Indemnifying Party’s ability to defend against such claim
or litigation is impaired as a result of such failure to give
notice. No Indemnifying Party, in the defense of any such claim,
loss, damages or liability (or action in respect thereof), will,
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. Each Indemnified Party will
furnish such information regarding itself or the claim, loss,
damages or liability (or action in respect thereof) in question as
an Indemnifying Party may reasonably request in writing and as is
reasonably required in connection with defense of the
same.
(d) If the indemnification provided for in this
Section 1.8 is held by a court of competent
jurisdiction to be unavailable to an Indemnified Party with respect
to any loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense referred to
therein, then the Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such
Indemnified Party hereunder, will contribute to the amount paid or
payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such loss,
liability, claim, damage, or expense 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 statements or omissions that resulted in such
loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense as well as any other
relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the
Indemnifying Party and of the Indemnified Party will be determined
by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged
untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged
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.
(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent
that the provisions on indemnification and contribution contained
in the underwriting agreement entered into in connection with an
underwritten public offering are in conflict with the foregoing
provisions, the provisions in the underwriting agreement will
control.
(f) The obligations of the Company and Holder under
this Section 1.7 will survive the completion of any
offering of Registrable Securities in a registration statement
under Sections 1.2 , 1.3 and 1.5 , and
otherwise.
(g)
Information by Holder
. The Holder holding securities
included in any registration will furnish to the Company such
information regarding such Holder as the Company may reasonably
request in writing and as will be reasonably required in connection
with any registration, qualification or compliance referred to in
this Agreement.
1.9
Rule 144
Reporting . With a view
to making available the benefits of certain rules and regulations
of the Commission which may permit the sale of the Restricted
Securities to the public without registration, the Company agrees
to:
