NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals and the mutual promises set forth in Merger Agreement and herein contained, and for other consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

4. FURTHER ASSURANCES; ENFORCEMENT. Each of Majority Stockholder, RS Group and Parent agree not to vote any Parent Stock, or to take any other actions, that would in any manner defeat, impair, be inconsistent with or adversely affect the stated intentions of the parties under Section 2; provided, however, that Parent shall have no obligation to enforce any right among the Parties in this Agreement, to arbitrate any dispute or to reject any vote of any party otherwise in accordance with applicable corporate law, absent a court order to do so.

(b) take such additional action as is requested by any Holder to enable such Holder to sell the Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 144, including, without limitation, delivering all such legal opinions, consents, certificates, resolutions and instructions to Parent’s transfer agent as may be reasonably requested from time to time by any Holder and otherwise fully cooperate with each Holder and such Holder’s broker to effect such sale of securities pursuant to Rule 144.

(b) Demand Rights.

 

(i) If at any time after the Closing Date Parent shall receive from any Holder(s) owning at least thirty percent (30%) of the Registrable Securities then outstanding a written request or requests that Parent file a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (“Demand Registration Statement”) with respect to all and not a portion of the Registrable Securities owned by such Holder or Holders, Parent will promptly give written notice of the proposed registration, and any related qualification or compliance, to all other Holders of Registrable Securities within ten (10) business days thereafter, and as soon as practicable, but in any event within forty-five (45) days after the date such request is given by the initiating Holders in accordance with this Section 7.2(b), file such Demand Registration Statement as may be so requested and as would permit or facilitate the sale and distribution of all and not a portion of such Holder’s or Holders’ Registrable Securities as are specified in such request, together with all or such portion of the Registrable Securities of any other Holder or Holders joining in such request as are specified in a written request given within ten (10) days after receipt of such written notice from Parent.

 

(ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing obligations, if Parent furnishes to the requesting Holder(s), after requesting a registration pursuant to Section 7.2(b)(i), a certificate signed by Parent’s chief executive officer stating that in the good faith judgment of Parent’s board of directors it would be materially detrimental to Parent and its stockholders for such Registration Statement to either become effective or remain effective, because (i) Parent has engaged or has fixed to engage within ninety (90) days of such request in a registered public offering as to which Parent’s stockholders may include Registrable Securities or (ii) Parent is engaged in any other activity that, in the good faith determination of Parent’s board of directors, would be adversely affected by the requested registration to the material detriment of Parent, then Parent shall have the right to defer taking action with respect to such filing for a period of not more than one hundred eighty (180) days after the later of (x) the date the request of the Holder is given and (y) the effective date of such offering, the date of commencement of such other material activity, or the date of such written opinion of Parent’s investment banker, as applicable; provided, however, that Parent may not invoke this right more than once in any twelve (12) month period.

 

 6 

 

 

(iii) Parent shall not be obligated to effect, or to take any action to effect, any registration pursuant to Section 7.2(b)(i) during the period that is thirty (30) days before Parent’s good faith estimate of the date of filing of, and ending on a date that is ninety (90) days after the effective date of, a Parent initiated registration, provided, that Parent is actively employing in good faith commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective; nor shall Parent be obligated to effect, or to take any action to effect, more than one registration pursuant to Section 7.2(b)(i). A registration shall not be counted as “effected” for purposes of this Section 7.2(b)(iii) until such time as the applicable Registration Statement has been declared effective by the Commission, unless the Holder withdraws its request for such registration and forfeits its right to one Demand Registration Statement pursuant to this Section 7.2(b), in which case such withdrawn Registration Statement shall be counted as “effected” for purposes of this Section 7.2(b).

 

(c) Piggyback Rights.

 

(i) If at any time after the Effective Date Parent plans to file any Registration Statement under the Securities Act for purposes of effecting a public offering of securities of Parent (including, but not limited to, registration statements relating to secondary offerings of securities of Parent, but excluding registration statements relating to any registration under Sections 7.2(a), 7.2 (b), 7.2 (d) or 7.2 (e) or to any employee benefit plan or a corporate reorganization or other 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), Parent shall notify all Holders of Registrable Securities in writing at least thirty (30) days prior to filing such Registration Statement.

 

(ii) Each Holder desiring to include in any such registration statement all or any part of the Registrable Securities held by such Holder shall, within ten (10) days after receipt of the above-described notice from Parent, so notify Parent in writing, and in such notice shall inform Parent of the number of Registrable Securities such Holder wishes to include in such registration statement and subject to Sections 7.2(d), and 7.2(e), Parent will afford each such Holder an opportunity to include in such registration statement all or any part of the Registrable Securities then held by such Holder.

 

 7 

 

 

(d) Notwithstanding the registration obligations set forth in Sections 7.2(b) and 7.2(c), if the Commission informs Parent that all of the Registrable Securities cannot, as a result of the application of Rule 415, be registered for resale as a secondary offering on a single registration statement, Parent agrees to promptly inform each of the Holders thereof and use its commercially reasonable efforts to file amendments to the applicable Registration Statement as required by the Commission, covering the maximum number of Registrable Securities permitted to be registered by the Commission, on Form S-1 or Form S-3.

 

(e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the Commission or any SEC Guidance sets forth a limitation on the number of Registrable Securities permitted to be registered on a particular Registration Statement as a secondary offering (and notwithstanding that Parent used diligent efforts to advocate with the Commission for the registration of all or a greater portion of Registrable Securities), Parent shall give the Holder at least five (5) Trading Days prior written notice along with the calculations as to such Holder’s allotment as anticipated by Parent. In the event Parent amends a Registration Statement in connection with the foregoing, Parent will use its commercially reasonable efforts to file with the Commission, as promptly as allowed by the Commission or SEC Guidance provided to Parent or to registrants of securities in general, one or more registration statements on Form S-1, Form S-3, or such other form available to register for resale those Registrable Securities that were not registered for resale on such Registration Statement, as amended.

 

7.3 Registration Procedures.

 

In connection with Parent’s registration obligations hereunder, Parent shall:

 

(a) Not less than five (5) Trading Days prior to the filing of each Registration Statement and not less than one (1) Trading Day prior to the filing of any related Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto (including any document that would be incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference), Parent shall (i) furnish to each Holder copies of all such documents proposed to be filed, which documents (other than those incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference) will be subject to the review of such Holders, and (ii) cause its officers and directors, counsel and independent registered public accountants to respond to such inquiries as shall be necessary, in the reasonable opinion of respective counsel to each Holder, to conduct a reasonable investigation within the meaning of the Securities Act. Notwithstanding the above, Parent shall not be obligated to provide the Holders advance copies of any universal shelf registration statement registering securities in addition to those required hereunder, or any Prospectus prepared thereto. Parent shall not file a Registration Statement or any such Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto to which the Holders of 67% or more of the Registrable Securities shall reasonably object in good faith, provided that, Parent is notified of such objection in writing no later than three (3) Trading Days after the Holders have been so furnished copies of a Registration Statement or one (1) Trading Day after the Holders have been so furnished copies of any related Prospectus or amendments or supplements thereto. Each Holder agrees to furnish to Parent a completed questionnaire in the form attached to this Agreement as Annex A (a “Selling Stockholder Questionnaire”) on a date that is not less than three (3) Trading Days prior to the Filing Date or by the end of the third (3rd) Trading Day following the date on which such Holder receives draft materials in accordance with this Section. Parent shall furnish to each Holder (A) a Selling Stockholder Questionnaire for completion at least ten (10) Trading Days prior to the Filing Date, together with a request that such Selling Stockholder Questionnaire be completed and returned to Parent in a timely manner and (B) a specific reference to this Section 7.3(a).

(b) (i) Prepare and file with the Commission such amendments, including post-effective amendments, to a Registration Statement and the Prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep a Registration Statement continuously effective as to the applicable Registrable Securities for the Effectiveness Period and prepare and file with the Commission such additional Registration Statements in order to register for resale under the Securities Act all of the Registrable Securities, (ii) cause the related Prospectus to be amended or supplemented by any required Prospectus supplement (subject to the terms of this Agreement), and, as so supplemented or amended, to be filed pursuant to Rule 424, (iii) respond as promptly as reasonably possible to any comments received from the Commission with respect to a Registration Statement or any amendment thereto and provide as promptly as reasonably possible to the Holders true and complete copies of all correspondence from and to the Commission relating to a Registration Statement (provided that, Parent shall excise any information contained therein which would constitute material non-public information regarding Parent), and (iv) comply in all material respects with the applicable provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement during the applicable period in accordance (subject to the terms of this Agreement) with the intended methods of disposition by the Holders thereof set forth in such Registration Statement as so amended or in such Prospectus as so supplemented.

 

(c) If during the Effectiveness Period, the number of Registrable Securities at any time exceeds 100% of the number of shares of Parent Common Stock then registered in a Registration Statement, then Parent shall file as soon as reasonably practicable, an additional Registration Statement covering the resale by the Holders of not less than the number of such Registrable Securities.

 

 9 

 

 

(d) Notify the Holders of Registrable Securities to be sold (which notice shall, pursuant to clauses (iii) through (vi) hereof, be accompanied by an instruction to suspend the use of the Prospectus until the requisite changes have been made) as promptly as reasonably possible (and, in the case of (i)(A) below, not less than one (1) Trading Day prior to such filing) and (if requested by any such Person) confirm such notice in writing no later than one (1) Trading Day following the day (i)(A) when a Prospectus or any Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement is proposed to be filed, (B) when the Commission notifies Parent whether there will be a “review” of such Registration Statement and whenever the Commission comments in writing on such Registration Statement, and (C) with respect to a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment, when the same has become effective, (ii) of any request by the Commission or any other federal or state governmental authority for amendments or supplements to a Registration Statement or Prospectus or for additional information, (iii) of the issuance by the Commission or any other federal or state governmental authority of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement covering any or all of the Registrable Securities or the initiation of any Proceedings for that purpose, (iv) of the receipt by Parent of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation or threatening of any Proceeding for such purpose, (v) of the occurrence of any event or passage of time that makes the financial statements included in a Registration Statement ineligible for inclusion therein or any statement made in a Registration Statement or Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference untrue in any material respect or that requires any revisions to a Registration Statement, Prospectus or other documents so that, in the case of a Registration Statement or the Prospectus, as the case may be, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any 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, and (vi) of the occurrence or existence of any pending corporate development with respect to Parent that Parent believes may be material and that, in the determination of Parent, makes it not in the best interest of Parent to allow continued availability of a Registration Statement or Prospectus, provided, however, in no event shall any such notice contain any information which would constitute material, non-public information regarding Parent.

 

(e) Use its reasonable best efforts to avoid the issuance of, or, if issued, obtain the withdrawal of (i) any order stopping or suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement, or (ii) any suspension of the qualification (or exemption from qualification) of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, at the earliest practicable moment.

(g) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Parent hereby consents to the use of such Prospectus and each amendment or supplement thereto by each of the selling Holders in connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable Securities covered by such Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto, except after the giving of any notice pursuant to Section 7.3(d).

(i) Prior to any resale of Registrable Securities by a Holder, use its commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify or cooperate with the selling Holders in connection with the registration or qualification (or exemption from the registration or qualification) of such Registrable Securities for the resale by the Holder under the securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions within such states as any Holder reasonably requests in writing, to keep each registration or qualification (or exemption therefrom) effective during the Effectiveness Period and to do any and all other acts or things reasonably necessary to enable the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities covered by each Registration Statement; provided, that, Parent shall not be required to qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified, subject Parent to any material tax in any such jurisdiction where it is not then so subject or file a general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction.

 

(j) If requested by a Holder, cooperate with such Holder to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing Registrable Securities to be delivered to a transferee pursuant to a Registration Statement, which certificates shall be free, to the extent permitted by the Merger Agreement and applicable law, of all restrictive legends, and to enable such Registrable Securities to be in such denominations and registered in such names as any such Holder may request.

 

(k) Upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by Section 7.3(d), as promptly as reasonably possible under the circumstances taking into account Parent’s good faith assessment of any adverse consequences to Parent and its stockholders of the premature disclosure of such event, prepare a supplement or amendment, including a post-effective amendment, to a Registration Statement or a supplement to the related Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, and file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered, neither a Registration Statement nor such Prospectus will contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state 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. If Parent notifies the Holders in accordance with clauses (iii) through (vi) of Section 7.3(d) above to suspend the use of any Prospectus until the requisite changes to such Prospectus have been made, then the Holders shall suspend use of such Prospectus. Parent will use its reasonable best efforts to ensure that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed as promptly as is practicable. Parent shall be entitled to exercise its right under this Section 7.3(k) to suspend the availability of a Registration Statement and Prospectus, subject to the payment of partial liquidated damages otherwise required pursuant to Section 7.3(d), for a period not to exceed 60 calendar days (which need not be consecutive days) in any 12-month period.

During any periods that Parent is unable to meet its obligations hereunder with respect to the registration of the Registrable Securities solely because any Holder fails to furnish such information within three Trading Days of Parent’s request, any breach that may otherwise occur because of such delay shall be suspended as to such Holder only, until such information is delivered to Parent.

 

7.4 Registration Expenses. All fees and expenses incident to the performance of or compliance with, this Section 7 by Parent shall be borne by Parent whether or not any Registrable Securities are sold pursuant to a Registration Statement.

Parent shall notify the Holders promptly of the institution, threat or assertion of any Proceeding arising from or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement of which Parent is aware.

 

 12 

 

 

(b) Indemnification by Holders. Each Holder shall, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless Parent, its directors, officers, agents and employees, each Person who controls Parent (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, agents or employees of such controlling Persons (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles, notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title), to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against all Losses, as incurred, to the extent arising out of or based solely upon: (x) such Holder’s failure to comply with any applicable prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act or the plan of distribution in any Registration Statement through no fault of Parent or (y) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, any Prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any Prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading (i) to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information so furnished in writing by such Holder to Parent expressly for inclusion in such Registration Statement or such Prospectus or (ii) to the extent that such information relates to such Holder’s proposed method of distribution of Registrable Securities and was reviewed and expressly approved in writing by such Holder expressly for use in a Registration Statement, such Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or (iii) in the case of an occurrence of an event of the type specified in Section 7.3(d)(iii)-(vi), to the extent related to the use by such Holder of an outdated, defective or otherwise unavailable Prospectus after Parent has notified such Holder in writing that the Prospectus is outdated, defective or otherwise unavailable for use by such Holder.

 

(c) Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. If any Proceeding shall be brought or asserted against any Person entitled to indemnity hereunder (an “Indemnified Party”), such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Person from whom indemnity is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing, and the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the payment of all fees and expenses incurred in connection with defense thereof; provided, that, the failure of any Indemnified Party to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations or liabilities pursuant to this Agreement, except (and only) to the extent that it shall be finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction (which determination is not subject to appeal or further review) that such failure shall have materially and adversely prejudiced the Indemnifying Party.

 

An Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such Proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party or Parties unless: (1) the Indemnifying Party has agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses, (2) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed promptly to assume the defense of such Proceeding and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party in any such Proceeding, or (3) the named parties to any such Proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, and counsel to the Indemnified Party shall reasonably believe that a material conflict of interest is likely to exist if the same counsel were to represent such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party (in which case, if such Indemnified Party notifies the Indemnifying Party in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense thereof and the reasonable fees and expenses of no more than one separate counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party). The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any such Proceeding effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending Proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is a party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding.

 

 13 

 

 

Notwithstanding Section 8.9, all reasonable fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party (including reasonable fees and expenses to the extent incurred in connection with investigating or preparing to defend such Proceeding in a manner not inconsistent with this Section) shall be paid to the Indemnified Party, as incurred, within ten Trading Days of written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party; provided, that, the Indemnified Party shall promptly reimburse the Indemnifying Party for that portion of such fees and expenses applicable to such actions for which such Indemnified Party is finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction (which determination is not subject to appeal or further review) not to be entitled to indemnification hereunder.

 

7.6 Discontinued Disposition. By its acquisition of Registrable Securities, each Holder agrees that, upon receipt of a notice from Parent of the occurrence of any event of the kind described in Section 7.3(d)(iii) through (vi), such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of such Registrable Securities under a Registration Statement until it is advised in writing (the “Advice”) by Parent that the use of the applicable Prospectus (as it may have been supplemented or amended) may be resumed. Parent will use its commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed as promptly as is practicable.

 

7.7 Compliance. Each Holder covenants and agrees that it will comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act as applicable to it (unless an exemption therefrom is available) in connection with sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement.
