Section 2.03 Investment Representations and Warranties.

The Purchaser is relying solely on the Purchaser’s own determination as to tax consequences or the advice of such tax advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of its agents and understands that the Purchaser (and not the Company) shall be responsible for the Purchaser’s own tax liability that may arise as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

In such event, the number of Purchased Shares or other shares to be registered for each selling stockholder named in the Registration Statement shall be reduced pro rata among all such selling stockholders.

For so long as the Registration Statement shall remain effective, the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement hereunder as soon as reasonably practicable and (ii) qualify the Purchased Shares for listing on the applicable stock exchange on which the Common Stock are then listed and update or amend the Registration Statement as necessary to include Purchased Shares. The Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to, for so long as the Purchaser holds Purchased Shares, make and keep public information available (as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144) and file with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Exchange Act so long as the Company remains subject to such requirements to enable the Purchaser to resell the Purchased Shares pursuant to Rule 144.

(c) The Company’s obligations to include the Purchased Shares in the Registration Statement are contingent upon the Purchaser (i) furnishing in writing to the Company a completed selling stockholder questionnaire in customary form that contains such information regarding the Purchaser, the securities of the Company held by the Purchaser, the intended method of disposition of the Purchased Shares (which shall be limited to non-underwritten public offerings) and such other information as shall be reasonably requested by the Company to effect the registration of the Purchased Shares, and (ii) executing such documents in connection with such registration as the Company may reasonably request that are customary of a selling stockholder in similar situations, including providing that the Company shall be entitled to postpone and suspend the effectiveness or use of the Registration Statement (A) during any customary blackout or similar period or as permitted hereunder and (B) as may be necessary in connection with the preparation and filing of a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement following the filing of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for its first completed fiscal year following the effective date of the Registration Statement. In the case of the registration effected by the Company pursuant to this Agreement, the Company shall, upon reasonable request, inform the Purchaser as to the status of such registration. The Purchaser shall not be entitled to use the Registration Statement for an underwritten offering of Purchased Shares. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company may delay or postpone filing of such Registration Statement, and from time to time require the Purchaser not to sell under the Registration Statement or suspend the use or effectiveness of any such Registration Statement if it determines in good faith that (i) in order for the registration statement to not contain a material misstatement or omission, an amendment thereto would be needed, or (ii) such filing or use would reasonably be expected to materially affect a bona fide business or financing transaction of the Company or would reasonably be expected to require premature disclosure of information that would materially adversely affect the Company (each such circumstance, a “Suspension Event”); provided, that, (x) the Company shall not so delay filing or so suspend the use of the Registration Statement for a period of more than sixty (60) consecutive days or more than two (2) times in any three hundred sixty (360) day period, and (y) the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make such registration statement available for the sale by the Purchaser of such securities as soon as practicable thereafter.

(d) Upon receipt of any written notice from the Company of the happening of (i) an issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for such purpose, which notice shall be given no later than three (3) Business Days from the date of such event, (ii) any Suspension Event during the period that the Registration Statement is effective, which notice shall be given no later than three (3) Business Days from the date of such Suspension Event, or (iii) or if as a result of a Suspension Event the Registration Statement or related prospectus contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits 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 (in the case of the prospectus) not misleading, the Purchaser agrees that (1) it will immediately discontinue offers and sales of the Purchased Shares under the Registration Statement (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, sales conducted pursuant to Rule 144) until the Purchaser receives copies of a supplemental or amended prospectus that corrects the misstatement(s) or omission(s) referred to above and receives notice that any post-effective amendment has become effective or unless otherwise notified by the Company that it may resume such offers and sales, and (2) it will maintain the confidentiality of any information included in such written notice delivered by the Company unless otherwise required by Law, subpoena or regulatory request or requirement. If so directed by the Company, the Purchaser will deliver to the Company or, in the Purchaser’s sole discretion destroy, all copies of the prospectus covering the Purchased Shares in the Purchaser’s possession; provided, however, that this obligation to deliver or destroy all copies of the prospectus covering the Purchased Shares shall not apply (x) to the extent the Purchaser is required to retain a copy of such prospectus (A) in order to comply with applicable legal, regulatory, self-regulatory or professional requirements or (B) in accordance with a bona fide pre-existing document retention policy or (y) to copies stored electronically on archival servers as a result of automatic data back-up.

 

12


(e) The Purchaser may deliver written notice (an “Opt-Out Notice”) to the Company requesting that the Purchaser not receive notices from the Company otherwise required by this Section 4.03; provided, however, that the Purchaser may later revoke any such Opt-Out Notice in writing. Following receipt of an Opt-Out Notice from the Purchaser (unless subsequently revoked), (i) the Company shall not deliver any such notices to the Purchaser and the Purchaser shall no longer be entitled to the rights associated with any such notice and (ii) each time prior to the Purchaser’s intended use of an effective Registration Statement, the Purchaser will notify the Company in writing at least two (2) Business Days in advance of such intended use, and if a notice of a Suspension Event was previously delivered (or would have been delivered but for the provisions of this Section 4.03(e)) and the related suspension period remains in effect, the Company will so notify the Purchaser, within one (1) business day of the Purchaser’s notification to the Company, by delivering to the Purchaser a copy of such previous notice of Suspension Event, and thereafter will provide the Purchaser with the related notice of the conclusion of such Suspension Event promptly following its availability.

(f) For purposes of this Section 4.03 of this Agreement, (i) “Purchased Shares” shall mean, as of any date of determination, the Purchased Shares (as defined in the recitals to this Agreement) and any other equity security issued or issuable with respect to the Purchased Shares by way of share split, dividend, distribution, recapitalization, merger, exchange, or replacement, and (ii) “Purchaser” shall include any affiliate of the Purchaser to which the rights under this Section 4.03 shall have been duly assigned.

(g) The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser (to the extent a seller under the Registration Statement), the officers, directors, members, managers, partners, agents, investment advisors and employees of the Purchaser, each person who controls the Purchaser (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) and the officers, directors, members, managers, partners, agents and employees of each such controlling person, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) and expenses (collectively, “Losses”) caused by any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any prospectus included in the Registration Statement or any form of prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, caused by any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any prospectus or form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, except to the extent that untrue statements, alleged untrue statements, omissions or alleged omissions are based upon information regarding the Purchaser furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of the Purchaser expressly for use therein or the Purchaser has omitted a material fact from such information, provided that the Company has given notice of such event to the Purchaser in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the forgoing, the Company’s indemnification obligations shall not apply (i) to amounts paid in settlement of any Losses or action if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Company (which consent shall not be

 

13


unreasonably withheld or delayed) or (ii) to any Losses in connection with (A) any failure of an indemnified person under this Section 4.03(g) to deliver or cause to be delivered a prospectus made available by the Company in a timely manner or (B) any offers or sales effected by or on behalf of the Purchaser in violation of this Agreement.

(h) The Purchaser shall, severally and not jointly with any selling stockholder named in the Registration Statement, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, officers, agents and employees, each person who controls the Company (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, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, from and against all Losses caused by any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, any prospectus included in the Registration Statement, or any form of prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or caused by 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 any form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statements, alleged untrue statements, omissions or alleged omissions are based upon information regarding the Purchaser furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of the Purchaser expressly for use therein and that the Purchaser has received notice from the Company of such Suspension Event in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the forgoing, the Purchaser indemnification obligations shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Losses or action if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Purchaser (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(i) Any person or entity entitled to indemnification herein shall (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided that the failure to give prompt notice shall not impair any person’s or entity’s right to indemnification hereunder to the extent such failure has not prejudiced the indemnifying party) and (ii) unless in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party shall not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the indemnified party, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which cannot be settled in all respects by the payment of money (and such money is so paid by the indemnifying party pursuant to the terms of such settlement), which settlement shall not include a statement or admission of fault and culpability on the part of such indemnified party, and which settlement shall include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

 

14


(j) The indemnification provided for under this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director or controlling person or entity of such indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of securities.

(k) If the indemnification provided under this Section 4.03 from the indemnifying party is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to herein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying the indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided, however, that the liability of the Purchaser shall be limited to the net proceeds received by such the Purchaser from the sale of Purchased Shares giving rise to such indemnification obligation. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, was made by (or not made by, in the case of an omission), or relates to information supplied by (or not supplied by, in the case of an omission), such indemnifying party or indemnified party, and the indemnifying party’s and indemnified party’s relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses or other liabilities referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 4.03, any legal or other fees, charges or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution pursuant to this Section 4.03(k) from any person or entity who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

Section 4.04 Standstill. The Purchaser Parties agree that, until the later of (i) 90 days after the first day on which no Purchaser Designee serves on the Board and the Purchaser has no rights (or has irrevocably waived its right) under Section 4.05 (except for Section 4.05(f)) and (ii) the expiration of the Lock-Up Period, without the prior written approval of the Board, the Purchaser Parties will not, directly or indirectly, and will cause their Affiliates not to:

(a) acquire, offer or seek to acquire, agree to acquire or make a proposal to acquire, by purchase or otherwise, any equity securities or direct or indirect rights to acquire any equity securities of the Company, any securities convertible into or exchangeable for any such equity securities, any options or other derivative securities or contracts or instruments in any way related to the price of shares of Common Stock;

(d) otherwise act, alone or in concert with others, to seek to control or influence, in any manner, the management, board of directors or policies of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries;

(h) enter into any agreements, arrangements or understandings with any third party (including security holders of the Company, but excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any Purchaser Parties) with respect to any of the foregoing, including forming, joining or in any way participating in a “group” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) with any third party in connection with any of the foregoing;

(i) request the Company or any of its Representatives, directly or indirectly, to amend or waive any provision of this Section 4.04; provided that this clause shall not prohibit the Purchaser from making a confidential request to the Company seeking an amendment or waiver of the provisions of this Section 4.04, which the Company may accept or reject in its sole discretion, so long as any such request is made in a manner that does not require public disclosure thereof by any Person; or

(j) contest the validity of this Section 4.04 or make, initiate, take or participate in any demand, suit, action, proceeding, investigation or arbitration (legal or otherwise) or proposal to amend, waive or terminate any provision of this Section 4.04;

(b) Upon the occurrence of the First Fall-Away of Board Rights, at the written request of the Board, one Purchaser Director shall immediately resign, and the Purchaser shall cause such Purchaser Director immediately to resign, from the Board effective as of the date of such First Fall-Away of Board Rights, and the Purchaser shall only have any rights under this Section 4.05 with respect to one Purchaser Designee.
