Introduction.

 

This Current Report on Form 8-K (this “Current Report”) is being filed in connection with the completion on November 1, 2015 (the “Closing”) of the previously announced proposed business combination contemplated by the Merger Agreement entered into as of April 2, 2015 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Premier Exhibitions, Inc., a Florida corporation (the “Company”), Dinoking Tech Inc., a company existing under the laws of the Province of British Columbia (“Dinoking”), 1032403 B.C. Ltd., a company existing under the laws of the Province of British Columbia and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Exchangeco”), and Mr. Daoping Bao and Ms. Nancy Brenner, the shareholders of Dinoking (the “Dinoking Shareholders”) (as described in the Merger Agreement, the “Merger” or the “Transaction”).

 

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the Closing the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of Dinoking for total consideration of 1,434,720 shares of Exchangeco (“Exchangeable Shares”). The Exchangeable Shares are exchangeable for an aggregate of 1,434,720 shares of common stock of the Company pursuant to the terms of such shares and that certain Support Agreement entered into between the Company and Exchangeco at the Closing.  The Company has also issued to each of the Dinoking shareholders one share of a separate class of stock of the Company that provides for voting rights in the Company equal to the number of Exchangeable Shares held by such Dinoking shareholder (“Special Voting Shares”).

 

The Company has also agreed to future contingent payments to the Dinoking shareholders of up to an aggregate of approximately $8.6 million (the “Future Contingent Payments”) payable in either cash or shares of common stock of the Company upon the satisfaction of certain events by Dinoking or the execution by Dinoking of specified exhibition and joint venture agreements with third parties meeting the requirements set forth in that certain Success Payment Agreement, dated April 2, 2015, by and among the Company, Mr. Bao and Ms. Brenner, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) as Exhibit 10.2 (the “Success Payment Agreement”) to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the SEC on April 8, 2015 (the “Initial Form 8-K”).

 

Following the Closing and the conversion of the Note (as hereinafter defined) into shares of the Company’s common stock, but prior to any Future Contingent Payments, Mr. Bao and Ms. Brenner together with the lenders under the Note described below (the “DK Group”) own approximately 47% of the voting power of the Company.

 

The description of the Transaction contained in this Introduction does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, filed as Exhibit 2.1 to the Initial Form 8-K, and other exhibits to the Initial Form 8-K.

 

Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

Corporate Governance Agreement

 

At the Closing, the Company, Mr. Daoping Bao and Ms. Nancy Brenner, entered into that certain Corporate Governance Agreement, pursuant to which the DK Group had the right as of the Closing to appoint up to four members of the Company’s board of directors, which was then required to be composed of seven members. If their ownership in the Company falls to between 10% and 30% of the shares of the Company, then the DK Group will have the right to appoint up to 30% of the members of the board of directors. If the DK Group holds in the aggregate less than 10% of the shares of the Company, then they will no longer be entitled to appoint members of the Company’s board of directors. These board appointment provisions also apply to each subsidiary of the Company. The Corporate Governance Agreement also required the Company’s board of directors to appoint Mr. Bao as the Executive Chairman of the Board and President of the Company, and each subsidiary of the Company, as of the Closing. The Corporate Governance Agreement also required the Company to enter into indemnification agreements and obtain directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage for Mr. Bao and each of the DK Group’s board appointees.

 

Support Agreement

 

The Company and Exchangeco also entered at the Closing into that certain Support Agreement, which sets forth terms related to the Exchangeable Shares and contains certain covenants governing the relationship between the Company and Exchangeco so long as Exchangeable Shares are outstanding.

 

Among other things, pursuant to the Support Agreement, the Company will not, without the prior approval of Exchangeco and the holders of the Exchangeable Shares, take certain actions unless the same or an economically equivalent change shall simultaneously be made to, or in the rights of, the holders of Exchangeable Shares. Such actions include (i) issuing or distributing shares of the Company’s common stock to holders of the common stock by way of stock dividend or other distribution; (ii) issuing or distributing rights, options, warrants, or property to holders of the Company’s common stock entitling them to subscribe for or to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock; (iii) issuing or distributing to holders of the Company’s common stock shares or securities of the Company of any other class of capital stock of the Company or any rights, options, or warrants to purchase the same, evidences of indebtedness of the Company, or assets of the Company; (iv) subdividing, redividing, or changing the then outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock into a greater number of shares; (v) reducing, combining, or consolidating or changing the then outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock into a lesser number of shares; or (vi) reclassifying or otherwise changing the shares of the Company’s common stock or effecting an amalgamation, merger, reorganization, or other transaction affecting the Company’s common stock.

 

Registration Rights Agreement

 

In addition, at the Closing, the Company, Mr. Bao and Ms. Brenner entered into that certain Registration Rights Agreement, pursuant to which the Company is required to register with the SEC the shares of common stock of the Company held by Mr. Bao and Ms. Brenner and their permitted assigns upon demand at any time after the Closing. The parties will be required to provide customary mutual indemnities in connection with such registration.

 

The description of the Corporate Governance Agreement, Support Agreement and Registration Rights Agreement contained in this Item 1.01 does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the agreements filed as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2 and 10.3, respectively, to this Current Report and hereby incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

 

The information set forth in the Introduction above is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

 

The information set forth in the Introduction above is incorporated herein by reference.

 

As previously disclosed in the Initial Form 8-K, in connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, on April 2, 2015, the Company issued an Amended and Restated Secured Promissory Note and Guarantee (the “Note”) to Mr. Daoping Bao, as agent for the lenders listed therein, in the aggregate principal amount of $13,500,000.  The principal amount of the Note plus all accrued and unpaid interest automatically converted into 3,013,398 shares of common stock of the Company, at a conversion price of $4.48 per share, on October 30, 2015, the first business day after the Company’s shareholders have approved such conversion at the Special Meeting (as defined below).

 

The shares of common stock of the Company issuable upon exchange of the Exchangeable Shares issued in the Transaction, the Special Voting Shares, and the shares of common stock of the Company issued upon conversion of the Note were issued, as applicable, in reliance upon an exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

 

Item 3.03. Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.

 

The information set forth above and in Item 5.03 below relating to the Special Voting Shares and the Fourth Amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation is incorporated herein by reference.  

 

Item 4.01. Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.

 

(a) Dismissal of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

For accounting purposes, the Transaction is treated as a “reverse acquisition” and, as such, the historical financial statements of the accounting acquirer, Dinoking, will become the historical financial statements of the Company.

 

The financial statements of Dinoking as of and for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 were audited by MNP LLP (“MNP”) and the financial statements for the Company for the years ended February 28, 2015 and February 28, 2014 were audited by Cherry Bekaert LLP (“Cherry Bekaert”). In a reverse acquisition, a change of accountants is presumed to have occurred unless the same accountant audited the pre-transaction financial statements of both the legal acquirer and the accounting acquirer, and such change is generally presumed to occur on the date the reverse acquisition is completed.

 

On November 2, 2015, upon consummation of the Transaction, the audit committee of the Company’s board of directors dismissed MNP as an independent registered public accountant and approved the engagement of Cherry Bekaert (the Company’s independent registered public accountant) as a new independent registered public accountant for the post-transaction combined Company, such engagement to be effective immediately.

 

The report of MNP on the financial statements of Dinoking for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.

 

Additionally, during Dinoking’s two most recent fiscal years and the subsequent interim period through November 1 2015, there were no: (i) disagreements with MNP on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope of procedure which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of MNP, would have caused MNP to make reference to the matter in their report, or (ii) reportable events as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

 

The Company has provided MNP with a copy of the disclosures contained in this Item 4.01 and requested MNP to furnish it with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether it agrees with the those disclosures. The requested letter has been furnished and is filed herewith as Exhibit 16.1.

 

(b) Engagement of New Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

As noted above in Item 4.01(a), on November 2, 2015, the audit committee of the Company’s board of directors determined that Cherry Bekaert will serve as the independent registered public accounting firm for the Company. During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 and the subsequent interim period through November 1, 2015, neither Dinoking nor anyone acting on Dinoking’s behalf consulted with Cherry Bekaert in regard to Dinoking’s financial statements, which were audited by MNP, with respect to: (i) the application of accounting principles to a specific transaction, either completed or proposed; (ii) the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on Dinoking’s financial statements; or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions to Item 304 of Regulation S-K) or a reportable event of the type described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K. Additionally, during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 and the subsequent interim period through November 1 2015, no written report or oral advice was provided to Dinoking by Cherry Bekaert that was an important factor considered by Dinoking in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue.

 

Item 5.01. Changes in Control of Registrant.

 

The information set forth in the Introduction, Items 1.01 and 3.02 above and Items 5.02 and 5.03 below is incorporated herein by reference.  

 

Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

 

Board of Directors

 

Effective as of the Closing, the Company’s board of directors increased the size of the board to seven directors and, pursuant to the Corporate Governance Agreement, appointed Messrs. Daoping Bao, Michael Evans, Sid Dutchak and Mingcheng Tao as directors of the Company. Messrs. Douglas Banker, Rick Kraniak and Mark A. Sellers continue to serve as directors of the Company.

 

Effective as of the Closing, the committees of the Company’s board of directors were constituted as follows: (a) Audit Committee: Messrs. Evans (Chair), Dutchak and Kraniak; (b) Compensation Committee: Messrs. Kraniak (Chair), and Banker; and Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee: Messrs. Banker (Chair), and Sellers. The board of directors anticipates adding additional members to the Compensation Committee and the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee at a later date. The Company’s board of directors has determined that all committee members are independent for the purposes of serving on the board and the committees on which they serve under the SEC’s rules and the listing standards of the NASDAQ and that Mr. Evans qualifies as an audit committee financial expert.

 

Although no decision has been made as to the compensation of the new directors, it is anticipated that Messrs. Evans, Dutchak and Tao will receive standard non-employee director compensation, as described in the Company’s definitive proxy statement filed with the SEC on September 16, 2015. As an executive officer of the Company, Mr. Bao will not receive additional compensation as a director. Except as described in this Current Report, none of the new directors was selected as a director pursuant to any arrangement or understanding with any other person and neither of them has any other reportable transactions under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.

 

Officers

 

Pursuant to the Corporate Governance Agreement, effective as of the Closing, Michael J. Little resigned as Interim President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and the Company’s board of directors appointed Mr. Bao as the Executive Chairman of Board, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

 

Daoping Bao, age 55, brings over 20 years of creative entrepreneurial experience to his work, with significant success in museum exhibit design, filmmaking, manufacturing, business development, and capital fundraising. Mr. Bao has served as Chief Executive Officer of Dinoking for more than the last seven years, during which time Dinoking has primarily been engaged in the rental of animatronic dinosaurs, fossils and skeletons to indoor and outdoor exhibitions, primarily in Canada and the United States of America. Mr. Bao has worked throughout North America and Asia on diverse projects and business ventures. His innovative vision spans joint ventures and fossil exchanges, infrastructure and gaming projects, museum exhibit design, manufacturing facilities, gaming development and attractions development. Mr. Bao founded the leading animatronic manufacturing facility in Zigong, China as well as founded Dinoking Tech Inc., d/b/a Dinosaurs Unearthed, in 2006, in Canada. Both businesses are experiencing continued growth and expansion – a CCTV documentary on these businesses aired in China in July 2014. Mr. Bao is the creative visionary behind each of the exhibitions and expanding product lines. Prior to Dinosaurs Unearthed, Mr. Bao founded an international trading company, a merchant bank and an investment company that handled over $200 million in development transactions with Asia. Mr. Bao has also created successful businesses in the areas of film production, entertainment and the arts with an extensive network established in China. Mr. Bao also founded Paystone Technologies Corp., one of the first real-time online payment solution providers. Mr. Bao is a graduate of the Emily Carr University of Art and Design in Vancouver, with a major in Film and Video.

 

The board believes Mr. Bao’s vision and financial discipline along with his broad range of leadership and the ability to build successful businesses make him well-suited to serve as the Executive Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

 

At the Closing, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Mr. Bao received 1,271,994 Exchangeable Shares that are exchangeable for 1,271,994 shares of the Company’s common stock and may also receive either cash or additional shares of the Company’s common stock in connection with Future Contingent Payments.  In addition, as noted above, Mr. Bao acts as agent for the lenders under the Note, which on October 30, 2015 converted into shares of the Company’s common stock.  Mr. Bao is not one of the lenders under the Convertible Note.

 

Following the Closing and the conversion of the Note into shares of the Company’s common stock, but prior to any Future Contingent Payments, Mr. Bao is part of the DK Group that owns approximately 47% of the voting power of the Company.

 

Although no decision has been made as to Mr. Bao’s compensation package, it is expected that he will receive compensation in line with compensation payable to other similar executives in other similar stage companies within industries comparable to the Company.

 

Mr. Little continues as Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer of the Company.

 

Indemnification Agreements

 

Pursuant to indemnification agreements entered into by the Company with each director and executive officer of the Company (each, an “Indemnitee”) as of the Closing, the Company will, under the circumstances and to the extent provided for in the indemnification agreement, indemnify, and advance certain expenses to, the Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. This summary of the form of indemnification agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the form of indemnification agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.4 to this Current Report and is hereby incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

 

Amendment to Articles of Incorporation

 

On October 29, 2015, following shareholder approval at the Special Meeting as described below, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation to create two new classes of Special Voting Shares designated as Class 1 Special Voting Stock (the “Class 1 Stock”) and Class 2 Special Voting Stock (the “Class 2 Stock”). A single share of Class 1 Stock and a single share of Class 2 Stock are authorized and outstanding. The share of Class 1 Stock and the share of Class 2 Stock are entitled to a number of votes with respect to any matter properly submitted to a vote of the Company’s shareholders equal to the number of Exchangeable Shares held by the holder of such share at the time of such vote, and except as otherwise required by law, the holders of the Company’s common stock and the holders of the Class 1 Stock and Class 2 Stock will vote together as a single class with the holders of the Company’s common stock on all matters properly submitted to a vote of the holders of the Company’s common stock, including the election of directors. The Class 1 Stock and the Class 2 Stock are identical; the Class 1 Stock has been issued to one Dinoking Shareholder, and the Class 2 Stock has been issued to another Dinoking Shareholder.

 

In the event of any liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Company, the holders of the Class 1 Stock and Class 2 Stock will not be entitled to receive any assets of the Company available for distribution to the Company’s shareholders. The share of the Class 1 Stock and the share of the Class 2 Stock will not be entitled to receive dividends and will not be redeemable. In addition, such shares cannot be converted into, or exchanged for, shares of any other series or class of capital stock of the Company. At such time as the Class 1 Stock or the Class 2 Stock has no votes attached to it because there are no Exchangeable Shares held by the holder of such stock, the share of Class 1 Stock or Class 2 Stock, as applicable, will be cancelled.

 

This description of the amendment to the Articles of Incorporation of the Company does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Fourth Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation of the Company, which is attached as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report and is hereby incorporated herein by reference.

 

Change in Fiscal Year

 

Pursuant to the approval of the Company’s board of directors, as of the Closing, the Company changed its fiscal year end from the end of February to December 31, which is the fiscal year of Dinoking. The Transaction is being accounted for as a reverse acquisition, with Dinoking regarded as the accounting acquirer. Commencing with the periodic report for the quarter ended September 30, 2015, the Company intends to file annual and quarterly reports based on the December 31 fiscal year end of Dinoking. In reliance on Section III.F of the SEC’s Division of Corporate Finance: Frequently Requested Accounting and Financial Reporting Interpretations and Guidance dated March 31, 2001, the Company does not intend to file a transition report but, as noted in Item 9.01 below, this Current Report will be amended to provide required financial information within the time period specified in the instructions to Item 9.01 of Form 8-K.

 

Forward Looking Statements

 

Portions of this Current Report constitute “forward-looking statements” as defined by federal law. Although the Company believes any such statements are based on reasonable assumptions, there is no assurance that the actual outcomes will not be materially different. Any such statements are made in reliance on the “safe harbor” protections provided under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended. Additional information about risk factors that could lead to material changes in the Company’s performance is contained in the Company’s filings with the SEC and may be accessed at www.sec.gov.

Financial Statement of Businesses Acquired

 

The financial statements of Dinoking are incorporated by reference to the Company’s definitive proxy statement filed with the SEC on September 16, 2015.

INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT

This Indemnification Agreement (this “Agreement”), dated                                   , 20       , by and between PREMIER EXHIBITIONS, INC., a Florida corporation (the “Premier”), and                                    (“Nominee”).

WHEREAS:

A.            Indemnitee performs a valuable service to Premier and/or affiliate(s) of Premier (collectively, the “Company”) in his or her capacity as a director and/or officer of one or more of these entities;

B.            Premier has adopted provisions in its articles of incorporation (the “Articles”) providing for indemnification of its officers and directors,; and

C.            This Agreement is a supplement to the provisions of the Articles dealing with indemnities and shall not be deemed a substitute therefor, nor to diminish or abrogate any rights of Indemnitee thereunder and shall remain in place irrespective of the Articles.

NOW THEREFORE in consideration of the premises and the covenants contained herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1.0          INDEMNITY

1.1          General Scope: The Company shall indemnify the Nominee and the Nominee’s heirs, executors, administrators and personal representatives (collectively the “Indemnitees” and, individually, an “Indemnitee”) for all liabilities or obligations imposed upon or incurred by the Indemnitees at law, in equity or by, pursuant to or under any statute or regulation and all expenses (“Liability”) in relation to any claim, action, proceeding, investigation, or order whether civil, criminal or administrative and whether made or commenced by the Company, by an Associated Corporation or by any other person (collectively, or individually, a “Claim”) by reason of:

(a)the Nominee being or having been a director, alternate director or officer of, or holding or having held a position equivalent to that of a director, alternate director or officer of, the Company or any Associated Corporation, or
(b)any act or omission, whether or not negligent, of the Nominee acting as a director, alternate director or officer, or as a person in an equivalent position, of the Company or any Associated Corporation,

including without limitation, legal fees and disbursements and all other costs of investigation and defence incurred by the Indemnitees or any of them in relation to a Claim, whether or not any action or proceeding is commenced, and all amounts paid or payable by the Indemnitees or any of them, to settle a Claim or to satisfy a judgment, including without limitation the payment of interest and costs, or otherwise to discharge a Liability imposed or incurred.

1.2          Absolute Liability: Without limiting the generality of paragraph 2.1, the Company shall indemnify the Indemnitees against any Liability in relation to a Claim which is statutorily imposed on the Nominee.

1.3          Negligence: Without limiting the generality of paragraph 2.1, the Company shall indemnify the Indemnitees against any Liability in relation to a Claim arising from negligent conduct of the Nominee.

 

 

1.4          Actual Payment: The Company shall pay all amounts due to an Indemnitee under this Indemnity Agreement forthwith upon demand by the Indemnitee.

2.0          INDEMNITY RESTRICTED

Despite any other provision of this Indemnity Agreement, the Company is not obliged under this Indemnity Agreement to make any payment that is prohibited by applicable law, including, as at the date of this Indemnity Agreement, the Florida Business Corporation Act, or by court order in force at the date the payment must be made.

3.0          ADVANCE EXPENSES

Unless prohibited by applicable law or court order, the Company shall pay, as they are incurred, in advance of the final disposition of a Claim, the expenses actually and reasonably incurred by an Indemnitee in respect of the Claim provided that the Company shall not make such payments unless the Company first receives from the Indemnitee a written undertaking that, if it is ultimately determined that the payment of expenses is prohibited by applicable law, the Indemnitee will repay the amounts advanced.

4.0          TAXABLE BENEFITS

Any indemnity payment made pursuant to this Indemnity Agreement shall be grossed up by the amount of any tax payable by the Indemnitee pursuant to the Income Tax Act (Canada) in respect of such payment.

5.0          ENFORCEMENT COSTS

5.1          Application to Court: If any payment by the Company under this Indemnity Agreement would be prohibited under paragraph 3 unless approved by a court, or if there shall be a disagreement between the Company and any Indemnitee as to whether or not an indemnification under this Indemnity Agreement would be prohibited under paragraph 3 unless approved by the court, the Company, at its own expense and in good faith, will promptly take proceedings to obtain that approval or such other appropriate determination. The Company shall indemnify the Indemnitees for the amount of all costs incurred by any or all of them in obtaining any court approval contemplated by this paragraph 6.1, including without limitation all legal fees and disbursements.

5.2          Independent Counsel: The Indemnitees, or any of them, may each retain their own independent legal counsel for the purpose set out in paragraph 6.1 or for any other purpose in relation to a Claim and the cost of such representation shall be considered a “Liability” to which this Indemnity Agreement applies.

5.3          No Presumption of Wrong Doing: The determination of any Claim, by adjudication, settlement, or otherwise, shall not, of itself, create any presumption for the purposes of this Indemnity Agreement that the Nominee did not act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Company or an Associated Corporation, or, in the case of a criminal or administrative action or proceeding, that the Nominee did not have reasonable grounds for believing that his conduct was lawful, unless a judgment or order of the Court specifically finds otherwise.

 

 

6.0          NOMINEE CEASING TO ACT

The Nominee may resign at any time as a director, alternate director and/or officer, or from an equivalent position, of the Company or any Associated Corporation. The obligations of the Company hereunder continue after and are not affected in any way by the Nominee ceasing to be a director, alternate director and/or officer, or to hold an equivalent position, of the Company or any Associated Corporation whether by resignation, removal, death, incapacity, disqualification under applicable law or otherwise.

7.0          RE-ELECTION

The obligations of the Company under this Indemnity Agreement continue after and are not affected in any way by the re-election or re-appointment from time to time of the Nominee as a director or officer, or to an equivalent position, of the Company or any of its Associated Corporations.

(b)Salary/Compensation: payment by the Company, by an Associated Corporation, or by any corporation otherwise related to the Company, to the Nominee of director’s fees or any salary, wages or other compensation;

(e)Other Indemnities: payment to the Nominee by any shareholder of the Company, an Associated Corporation or any corporation otherwise related to the Company, or by any other person pursuant to any other contract of indemnity.

8.2          Non Compliance with Constating Documents: The obligations of the Company under this Indemnity Agreement are not diminished, or in any way affected by the Nominee’s failure to comply with the provisions of the Florida Business Corporations Act or of the articles or by-laws of the Company.

8.3          Non Waiver: No waiver by the Nominee of any default or breach of any of the terms, covenants, conditions, or obligations of this Indemnity Agreement shall constitute a waiver by the Nominee of any prior, concurrent, or subsequent default or breach of the same, or any other term, covenant, condition, or obligation of the Company.

 

 

9.0          REPORTING

9.1          Material Developments: The Company shall report promptly and regularly to the Nominee any material adverse change in the financial condition, business or property of the Company or any entity related to it and any event or circumstance known to the Company that may result, directly or indirectly, in any liability or obligation being imposed upon any Indemnitee.

9.2          Nominee Cooperation: The Nominee agrees to give notice to the Company within two business days of being served with any statement of claim, writ, notice of motion, indictment, or other documents commencing or continuing any Claim against the Nominee.

The Company agrees to give the Nominee such information and cooperation as the Nominee may reasonably require from time to time in respect of all matters under this Indemnity Agreement.

10.0        Separability

Each of the provisions of this Agreement is a separate and distinct agreement and independent of the others, so that if any provision hereof shall be held to be invalid for any reason, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions hereof. Furthermore, if this Agreement shall be invalidated in its entirety on any ground, then the Company shall nevertheless indemnify Indemnitee to the fullest extent provided by the charter documents or any other applicable law.

(e)not declare or pay any dividend on Parent Shares unless the Corporation will and can declare an equivalent dividend on the Exchangeable Shares; and
   
(f)advise the Corporation sufficiently in advance of the declaration by Parent of a dividend or of Parent’s intent to declare any dividend on the Parent Shares and take all such other actions as are reasonably necessary, in co-operation with the Corporation, to ensure that the respective declaration date, record date and payment date for a dividend on the Exchangeable Shares shall be the same as the declaration date, record date and payment date for the corresponding dividend on the Parent Shares.
   
2.2Provision of Funds. Parent shall, so long as any Exchangeable Shares, other than those that are held by Parent or its Subsidiaries, are outstanding: (a) provide the Corporation with sufficient funds, assets or other property as is necessary to enable the Corporation to pay or otherwise satisfy its obligations under the Exchangeable Share Provisions; and (b) cause the Corporation to deposit such funds in a separate account of the Corporation, and segregate such assets and property, and use such funds, assets and property solely to satisfy the Corporation’s obligations under the Exchangeable Share Provisions for the benefit of holders from time to time of the Exchangeable Shares.

2.4Notification of Certain Events. In order to assist Parent to comply with its obligations under this Agreement and the Exchangeable Share Provisions, the Corporation shall give Parent notice immediately upon the occurrence of each of the following events at the time set forth below:
   
(a)upon the earlier of (i) receipt by the Corporation of notice of, and (ii) the Corporation otherwise becoming aware of, any threatened or instituted claim, suit, petition or other proceedings with respect to the involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation or to effect any other distribution of the assets of the Corporation among its shareholders for the purpose of winding up its affairs;
   
(b)upon the Corporation determining that it will exercise its rights of redemption pursuant to 28.6 of the Share Provisions; or
   
(c)upon receipt by the Corporation of a Retraction Request delivered by a holder of Exchangeable Shares.
   
2.5Delivery of Parent Shares. In furtherance of its obligations hereunder, upon notice of any event which requires the Corporation to cause to be delivered Parent Shares to any holder of Exchangeable Shares, Parent shall forthwith issue and deliver the requisite number of Parent Shares to the Transfer Agent for delivery to or to the order of the former holder of the surrendered Exchangeable Shares, as the Corporation shall direct. All such Parent Shares shall, when issued and delivered against the surrender of the applicable surrender documents, be duly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, and shall be free and clear of any lien, claim, encumbrance, security interest or adverse claim.
   
2.6Tender Offers, Etc. In the event that a tender offer, share exchange offer, issuer bid, take-over bid or similar transaction (which for this purpose is deemed to include the sale of Parent’s business) with respect to Parent Shares (an “Offer”) is proposed by Parent or is proposed to Parent or its shareholders and is recommended by the Board of Directors of Parent, or is otherwise effected or to be effected with the consent or approval of the Board of Directors of Parent, while any Exchangeable Shares, other than those that are held by Parent or its Subsidiaries, are outstanding, Parent shall use all commercially reasonable efforts in good faith to take all such actions and do all such things as are necessary and reasonably within its power to enable and permit holders of Exchangeable Shares to participate in such Offer to the same extent and on an economically equivalent basis as the holders of Parent Shares, without discrimination. Parent may discharge this obligation by using its best efforts to ensure that holders of Exchangeable Shares may participate in all such Offers without being required to retract Exchangeable Shares as against the Corporation, or ensuring that any such retraction shall be effective only upon, and shall be conditional upon, the closing of the Offer and only to the extent necessary to tender or deposit to the Offer.
   
2.7Ownership of Outstanding Shares. Without the prior approval of the Corporation and the prior approval of the holders of the Exchangeable Shares given in accordance with Article 28.8(2) of the Exchangeable Share Provisions, while any Exchangeable Shares, other than those that are held by Parent or its Subsidiaries, are outstanding, Parent, or any successor of Parent by way of merger, consolidation or purchase of all or substantially all of the assets of Parent, shall be and shall remain the direct or indirect beneficial owner of all issued and outstanding shares in the capital of Corporation and all outstanding securities of the Corporation carrying or otherwise entitled to voting rights in any circumstances, in each case other than the Exchangeable Shares.
 

3

 
2.8Due Performance. Parent shall duly and timely perform all of its obligations provided for in the Exchangeable Share Provisions, including any obligations that may arise upon the exercise of Parent’s rights under the Exchangeable Share Provisions.
   
2.9Notice of Certain Events. If Parent shall cause the reclassification or other change of the Parent Shares or the consummation of an amalgamation, merger, reorganization or other transaction affecting the Parent Shares, while any Exchangeable Shares, other than those that are held by Parent or its Subsidiaries, are outstanding, then Parent will ensure that the record date for any such event or, if no record date is applicable for the event, the effective date for that event, is not less than five (5) Business Days after the date on which that event is declared or announced by Parent (with contemporaneous notification by Parent to the Corporation).
   
2.10Parent and Subsidiaries Not to Vote Exchangeable Shares. Parent covenants and agrees that it will appoint and cause to be appointed proxyholders with respect to all Exchangeable Shares held by it and its Subsidiaries for the purpose of attending each meeting of holders of Exchangeable Shares in order to be counted as part of the quorum for each meeting. While any Exchangeable Shares, other than those that are held by Parent or its Subsidiaries, are outstanding, Parent further covenants and agrees that it will not, and will cause its Subsidiaries not to, exercise any voting rights which may be exercisable by holders of Exchangeable Shares from time to time pursuant to the Exchangeable Share Provisions or pursuant to the provisions of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) (or any successor or other corporate statute by which the Corporation may in the future be governed) with respect to any Exchangeable Shares held by it or by its Subsidiaries in respect of any matter considered at any meeting of holders of Exchangeable Shares.
   
2.11So long as any Exchangeable Shares not owned by Parent or its Subsidiaries are outstanding:
   
(a)Parent will not without prior approval of the Corporation and the prior approval of the holders of the Exchangeable Shares given in accordance with the Exchangeable Share Provisions:
   
(i)issue or distribute Parent Shares (or securities exchangeable for or convertible into or carrying rights to acquire Parent Shares) to the holders of all or substantially all of the then outstanding Parent Shares by way of stock dividend or other distribution, other than an issue of Parent Shares (or securities exchangeable for or convertible into or carrying rights to acquire Parent Shares) to holders of Parent Shares who exercise an option to receive dividends in Parent Shares (or securities exchangeable for or convertible into or carrying rights to acquire Parent Shares) in lieu of receiving cash dividends; or
   
(ii)issue or distribute rights, options or warrants or other property to the holders of all or substantially all of the then outstanding Parent Shares entitling them to subscribe for or to purchase Parent Shares (or securities exchangeable for or convertible into or carrying rights to acquire Parent Shares);
   

unless the economic equivalent on a per share basis of such rights, options, securities, shares, or other property is issued or distributed simultaneously to holders of the Exchangeable Shares; provided that, for greater certainty, the above restrictions shall not apply to any securities issued or distributed by Parent in order to give effect to and to consummate the transactions contemplated by, and in accordance with, the Merger Agreement (including, for greater certainty, any transactions involving the assumption and amendment of the Pentwater Loan); and

 

4

 
(b)Parent will not without the prior approval of the Corporation and the prior approval of the holders of the Exchangeable Shares given in accordance with Article 28.8(2) of the Exchangeable Share Provisions:
   
(i)subdivide, redivide or change the then outstanding Parent  Shares into a greater number of Parent  Shares;
   
(ii)reduce, combine, consolidate or change the then outstanding Parent Shares into a lesser number of Parent Shares; or
   
(iii)reclassify or otherwise change Parent Shares or effect an amalgamation, merger, reorganization or other transaction affecting Parent Shares,
   

unless the same or an economically equivalent change shall simultaneously be made to, or in the rights of the holders of, the Exchangeable Shares.

 

And in all such events described in this Section 2.11, Parent and the Corporation shall, in rendering a fully informed decision, take into account the general taxation consequences of the relevant event to holders of Exchangeable Shares in particular to the extent that such consequences may differ from the taxation consequences to holders of Parent Shares as a result of differences between taxation laws of Canada and the United States (except for any differing consequences arising as a result of differing marginal taxation rates and without regard to the individual circumstances of holders of Exchangeable Shares) and shall take steps to ensure that, if commercially reasonable, whatever action is undertaken to protect the rights of the holders of Exchangeable Shares does not have a material adverse Canadian tax consequence to such holders.

 

Article 3 - GENERAL

 

3.1Term. This Agreement shall come into force and be effective as of the date hereof and shall terminate and be of no further force and effect at such time as no Exchangeable Shares (or securities or rights convertible into or exchangeable for or carrying rights to acquire Exchangeable Shares) are held by any party other than Parent and its Subsidiaries.

The Company shall within 30 Business Days from the date hereof file with the SEC the Registration Statement. The Registration Statement shall register only the Registrable Securities and no other securities of the Company. The Investor and its counsel shall have a reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon such registration statement or amendment to such registration statement and any related prospectus prior to its filing with the SEC. Investor shall furnish all information reasonably requested by the Company for inclusion therein. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to have the Registration Statement or amendment declared effective by the SEC at the earliest possible date. The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to keep the Registration Statement effective pursuant to Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act and available for re-sales of all of the Registrable Securities at all times until the earlier of:

(b)the date on which the Investor shall have sold all the Registrable Securities

(the “Registration Period”).

The Investor and its counsel shall have a reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon such prospectus prior to its filing with the SEC. The Investor shall use its reasonable best efforts to comment upon such prospectus within five Business Days from the date the Investor receives the proposed final version of such prospectus.

The Company shall use it reasonable best efforts to cause such amendment and/or New Registration Statement to become effective as soon as practicable following the filing thereof.

3.1          The Company shall prepare and file with the SEC such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to any registration statement and the prospectus used in connection with such registration statement, which prospectus is to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 promulgated under the Securities Act, as may be necessary to keep the Registration Statement or any New Registration Statement effective at all times during the Registration Period, and, during such period, comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities of the Company covered by the Registration Statement or any New Registration Statement until such time as all of such Registrable Securities shall have been disposed of in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the seller or sellers thereof as set forth in such registration statement.

3.2          The Company shall permit the Investor to review and comment upon the Registration Statement or any New Registration Statement and all amendments and supplements thereto at least five Business Days prior to their filing with the SEC, and not file any document in a form to which Investor reasonably objects.

The Company shall furnish to the Investor, without charge any correspondence from the SEC or the staff of the SEC to the Company or its representatives relating to the Registration Statement or any New Registration Statement.

-3-
 

3.3          Upon request of the Investor, the Company shall furnish to the Investor:

(b)upon the effectiveness of any registration statement, a copy of the prospectus included in such registration statement and all amendments and supplements thereto (or such other number of copies as the Investor may reasonably request); and

For the avoidance of doubt, any filing available to the Investor via the SEC’s live EDGAR system shall be deemed “furnished to the Investor” hereunder.

3.4          The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to:

(a)register and qualify the Registrable Securities covered by a registration statement under such other securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions in the United States as the Investor reasonably requests;
(b)prepare and file in those jurisdictions, such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to such registrations and qualifications as may be necessary to maintain the effectiveness thereof during the Registration Period;
(c)take such other actions as may be necessary to maintain such registrations and qualifications in effect at all times during the Registration Period; and
(d)take all other actions reasonably necessary or advisable to qualify the Registrable Securities for sale in such jurisdictions; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to:
(i)qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this Section 3.4;
(ii)subject itself to general taxation in any such jurisdiction; or
(iii)file a general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction.

The Company shall promptly notify the Investor who holds Registrable Securities of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the registration or qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale under the securities or “blue sky” laws of any jurisdiction in the United States or its receipt of actual notice of the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose.

3.5          As promptly as practicable after becoming aware of such event or facts, the Company shall notify the Investor in writing of the happening of any event or existence of such facts as a result of which the prospectus included in any 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, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and promptly prepare a supplement or amendment to such registration statement to correct such untrue statement or omission, and deliver a copy of such supplement or amendment to the Investor (or such other number of copies as the Investor may reasonably request). The Company shall also promptly notify the Investor in writing:

-4-
 

 

(a)when a prospectus or any prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment has been filed, and when a registration statement or any post-effective amendment has become effective (notification of such effectiveness shall be delivered to the Investor by facsimile on the same day of such effectiveness and by overnight mail);
(b)of any request by the SEC for amendments or supplements to any registration statement or related prospectus or related information; and
(c)of the Company’s reasonable determination that a post-effective amendment to a registration statement would be appropriate.

3.6          The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or other suspension of effectiveness of any registration statement, or the suspension of the qualification of any Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction and, if such an order or suspension is issued, to obtain the withdrawal of such order or suspension at the earliest possible moment and to notify the Investor of the issuance of such order and the resolution thereof or its receipt of actual notice of the initiation or threat of any proceeding for such purpose.

3.7          The Company shall:

(a)cause all the Registrable Securities to be listed on each securities exchange on which securities of the same class or series issued by the Company are then listed, if any, if the listing of such Registrable Securities is then permitted under the rules of such exchange; or
(b)secure designation and quotation of all the Registrable Securities on the Principal Market.

The Company shall pay all fees and expenses in connection with satisfying its obligation under this Section.

(a)any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact in the Registration Statement, any New Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto or in any filing made in connection with the qualification of the offering under the securities or other “blue sky” laws of any jurisdiction in which Registrable Securities are offered (“Blue Sky Filing”), or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading;
(b)any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the final prospectus (as amended or supplemented, if the Company files any amendment thereof or supplement thereto with the SEC) or the omission or alleged omission to state therein any material fact necessary to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which the statements therein were made, not misleading;
(c)any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any other law, including, without limitation, any state securities law, or any rule or regulation thereunder relating to the offer or sale of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement or any New Registration Statement; or

The Company shall reimburse each Indemnified Person promptly as such expenses are incurred and are due and payable, for any reasonable legal fees or other reasonable expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the indemnification agreement contained in this Section 6.1:

(e)shall not apply to a Claim by an Indemnified Person arising out of or based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with information about the Investor furnished in writing to the Company by such Indemnified Person expressly for use in connection with the preparation of the Registration Statement, any New Registration Statement or any such amendment thereof or supplement thereto, if such prospectus was timely made available by the Company pursuant to Section 3.3 or Section 3.5;
-7-
 
(f)with respect to any superceded prospectus, shall not inure to the benefit of any such person from whom the person asserting any such Claim purchased the Registrable Securities that are the subject thereof (or to the benefit of any person controlling such person) if the untrue statement or omission of material fact contained in the superceded prospectus was corrected in the revised prospectus, as then amended or supplemented, if such revised prospectus was timely made available by the Company pursuant to Section 3.3 or Section 3.5, and the Indemnified Person was promptly advised in writing not to use the incorrect prospectus prior to the use giving rise to a violation and such Indemnified Person, notwithstanding such advice, used it;
(g)shall not be available to the extent such Claim is based on a failure of the Investor to deliver or to cause to be delivered the prospectus made available by the Company, if such prospectus was timely made available by the Company pursuant to Section 3.3 or Section 3.5; and
(h)shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Person and shall survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities by the Investor pursuant to Section 9.0.

6.2          In connection with the Registration Statement or any New Registration Statement, the Investor agrees to severally and not jointly indemnify, hold harmless and defend, to the same extent and in the same manner as is set forth in Section 6.1, the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signs the Registration Statement or any New Registration Statement, each Person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act (collectively and together with an Indemnified Person, an “Indemnified Party”), against any Claim or Indemnified Damages to which any of them may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such Claim or Indemnified Damages arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in each case to the extent, and only to the extent, that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information about the Investor set forth on Schedule B attached hereto and furnished to the Company by the Investor expressly for use in connection with such registration statement; and, subject to Section 6.4, the Investor will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 6.2 and the agreement with respect to contribution contained in Section 7.0 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Investor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, further, however, that the Investor shall be liable under this Section 6.2 for only that amount of a Claim or Indemnified Damages as does not exceed the net proceeds to the Investor as a result of the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration statement. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such Indemnified Party and shall survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities by the Investor pursuant to Section 9.0.

-8-
 

6.3          Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party under this Section 6.0 of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding (including any governmental action or proceeding) involving a Claim, such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party shall, if a Claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 6.0, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof, and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the indemnifying party and the Indemnified Person or the Indemnified Party, as the case may be; provided, however, that an Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel retained by the indemnifying party, the representation by such counsel of the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party and the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding The Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person shall cooperate fully with the indemnifying party in connection with any negotiation or defense of any such action or claim by the indemnifying party and shall furnish to the indemnifying party all information reasonably available to the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person which relates to such action or claim. The indemnifying party shall keep the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person fully apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. No indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement of any action, claim or proceeding effected without its written consent, provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or other compromise which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation. Following indemnification as provided for hereunder, the indemnifying party shall be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person with respect to all third parties, firms or corporations relating to the matter for which indemnification has been made. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall not relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party under this Section 6.0, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is prejudiced in its ability to defend such action.

6.4          The indemnification required by this Section 6.0 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or Indemnified Damages are incurred.

6.5          The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to:

(a)any cause of action or similar right of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person against the indemnifying party or others; and
(b)any liabilities the indemnifying party may be subject to pursuant to the law.

-9-
 

7.0          CONTRIBUTION

7.1          To the extent any indemnification by an indemnifying party is prohibited or limited by law, the indemnifying party agrees to make the maximum contribution with respect to any amounts for which it would otherwise be liable under Section 6.0 to the fullest extent permitted by law; provided, however, that:

(a)no seller of Registrable Securities guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any seller of Registrable Securities who was not guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation; and
(b)contribution by any seller of Registrable Securities shall be limited in amount to the net amount of proceeds received by such seller from the sale of such Registrable Securities.

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

(i)a written statement by the Company that it has complied with the reporting and or disclosure provisions of Rule 144, the Securities Act and the Exchange Act;

(d)take such additional action as is requested by the Investor to enable the Investor to sell the Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 144, including, without limitation, delivering all such legal opinions, consents, certificates, resolutions and instructions to the Company’s Transfer Agent as may be requested from time to time by the Investor and otherwise reasonably cooperate with Investor and Investor’s broker to effect such sale of securities pursuant to Rule 144.

Re: [___]

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We are counsel to PREMIER EXHIBITIONS, INC., a Florida corporation (the “Company”), and have represented the Company in connection with that certain Merger Agreement, dated as of [___], 2015 (the “Merger Agreement”), entered into by and between the Company, Dinoking Tech, Inc., a company existing under the laws of the Province of British Columbia (“DK”), [●] LTD., a company existing under the laws of the Province of British Columbia (“Exchangeco”), [●] LTD., a company existing under the laws of the Province of British Columbia (“Newco”), Daoping Bao, a businessperson residing in Surrey, British Columbia (“Bao”), and Nancy Brenner, a businessperson residing in Surrey, British Columbia (“Brenner” and together with Bao, the “Investors”), pursuant to which the Company has agreed to issue to the Investors and register with the U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission the following shares of Common Stock:

(1)____________________
(2)____________________ (collectively, the “Applicable Shares”).

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Company also has entered into a Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of [___], 2015, with the Investors (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company agreed, among other things, to register the Applicable Shares under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). In connection with the Company’s obligations under the Merger Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement, on [___], 2015, the Company filed a Registration Statement (File No. 333-[___]) (the “Registration Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) relating to the re-sale of the Applicable Shares.

In connection with the foregoing, we advise you that on [___], 2015, a member of the SEC’s staff has advised us by telephone that the SEC has entered an order declaring the Registration Statement effective under the Securities Act at [___] on [___], 2015 and we have no knowledge, after telephonic inquiry of a member of the SEC’s staff, that any stop order suspending its effectiveness has been issued or that any proceedings for that purpose are pending before, or threatened by, the SEC and the Applicable Shares are available for re-sale under the Securities Act pursuant to the Registration Statement and may issued without any restrictive legend.

 

 

Very truly yours,

INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT

 

This Indemnification Agreement (this “Agreement”), dated                                   , 20       , by and between PREMIER EXHIBITIONS, INC., a Florida corporation (the “Premier”), and                                    (“Nominee”).

 

WHEREAS:

 

A.            Indemnitee performs a valuable service to Premier and/or affiliate(s) of Premier (collectively, the “Company”) in his or her capacity as a director and/or officer of one or more of these entities;

 

B.            Premier has adopted provisions in its articles of incorporation (the “Articles”) providing for indemnification of its officers and directors,; and

 

C.            This Agreement is a supplement to the provisions of the Articles dealing with indemnities and shall not be deemed a substitute therefor, nor to diminish or abrogate any rights of Indemnitee thereunder and shall remain in place irrespective of the Articles.

 

NOW THEREFORE in consideration of the premises and the covenants contained herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

1.0          INDEMNITY

 

1.1          General Scope: The Company shall indemnify the Nominee and the Nominee’s heirs, executors, administrators and personal representatives (collectively the “Indemnitees” and, individually, an “Indemnitee”) for all liabilities or obligations imposed upon or incurred by the Indemnitees at law, in equity or by, pursuant to or under any statute or regulation and all expenses (“Liability”) in relation to any claim, action, proceeding, investigation, or order whether civil, criminal or administrative and whether made or commenced by the Company, by an Associated Corporation or by any other person (collectively, or individually, a “Claim”) by reason of:

 

(a)the Nominee being or having been a director, alternate director or officer of, or holding or having held a position equivalent to that of a director, alternate director or officer of, the Company or any Associated Corporation, or

 

(b)any act or omission, whether or not negligent, of the Nominee acting as a director, alternate director or officer, or as a person in an equivalent position, of the Company or any Associated Corporation,

 

including without limitation, legal fees and disbursements and all other costs of investigation and defence incurred by the Indemnitees or any of them in relation to a Claim, whether or not any action or proceeding is commenced, and all amounts paid or payable by the Indemnitees or any of them, to settle a Claim or to satisfy a judgment, including without limitation the payment of interest and costs, or otherwise to discharge a Liability imposed or incurred.

 

1.2          Absolute Liability: Without limiting the generality of paragraph 2.1, the Company shall indemnify the Indemnitees against any Liability in relation to a Claim which is statutorily imposed on the Nominee.

 

1.3          Negligence: Without limiting the generality of paragraph 2.1, the Company shall indemnify the Indemnitees against any Liability in relation to a Claim arising from negligent conduct of the Nominee.

 

1.4          Actual Payment: The Company shall pay all amounts due to an Indemnitee under this Indemnity Agreement forthwith upon demand by the Indemnitee.

 

 

 

2.0          INDEMNITY RESTRICTED

 

Despite any other provision of this Indemnity Agreement, the Company is not obliged under this Indemnity Agreement to make any payment that is prohibited by applicable law, including, as at the date of this Indemnity Agreement, the Florida Business Corporation Act, or by court order in force at the date the payment must be made.

 

3.0          ADVANCE EXPENSES

 

Unless prohibited by applicable law or court order, the Company shall pay, as they are incurred, in advance of the final disposition of a Claim, the expenses actually and reasonably incurred by an Indemnitee in respect of the Claim provided that the Company shall not make such payments unless the Company first receives from the Indemnitee a written undertaking that, if it is ultimately determined that the payment of expenses is prohibited by applicable law, the Indemnitee will repay the amounts advanced.

 

4.0          TAXABLE BENEFITS

 

Any indemnity payment made pursuant to this Indemnity Agreement shall be grossed up by the amount of any tax payable by the Indemnitee pursuant to the Income Tax Act (Canada) in respect of such payment.

 

5.0          ENFORCEMENT COSTS

 

5.1          Application to Court: If any payment by the Company under this Indemnity Agreement would be prohibited under paragraph 3 unless approved by a court, or if there shall be a disagreement between the Company and any Indemnitee as to whether or not an indemnification under this Indemnity Agreement would be prohibited under paragraph 3 unless approved by the court, the Company, at its own expense and in good faith, will promptly take proceedings to obtain that approval or such other appropriate determination. The Company shall indemnify the Indemnitees for the amount of all costs incurred by any or all of them in obtaining any court approval contemplated by this paragraph 6.1, including without limitation all legal fees and disbursements.

 

5.2          Independent Counsel: The Indemnitees, or any of them, may each retain their own independent legal counsel for the purpose set out in paragraph 6.1 or for any other purpose in relation to a Claim and the cost of such representation shall be considered a “Liability” to which this Indemnity Agreement applies.

 

5.3          No Presumption of Wrong Doing: The determination of any Claim, by adjudication, settlement, or otherwise, shall not, of itself, create any presumption for the purposes of this Indemnity Agreement that the Nominee did not act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Company or an Associated Corporation, or, in the case of a criminal or administrative action or proceeding, that the Nominee did not have reasonable grounds for believing that his conduct was lawful, unless a judgment or order of the Court specifically finds otherwise.

 

-2

 

6.0          NOMINEE CEASING TO ACT

 

The Nominee may resign at any time as a director, alternate director and/or officer, or from an equivalent position, of the Company or any Associated Corporation.
