ARTICLE II

REGISTRATION RIGHTS

SECTION 2.1. Shelf Registration.

(a) Preparation and Filing of Shelf Registration Statement. At any time when an automatic shelf registration statement on Form S-3 of the Company that provides for the resale of all of the Registrable Securities on a delayed or continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act (a “Shelf Registration Statement”) is not effective, as promptly as practicable following the written request of WFLP (but no later than thirty (30) days after the receipt of such written request), the Company shall (i) prepare and file a Shelf Registration Statement, and (ii) if such Shelf Registration Statement is not automatically effective, use reasonable best efforts to cause the Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective by the Commission as promptly as reasonably practicable (but no later than sixty (60) days) thereafter. The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to keep such Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective for a period ending when all Registrable Securities covered by such Shelf Registration Statement are no longer Registrable Securities.

(b) Selling Holders. As soon as reasonably practicable following the date of this Agreement, the Company shall file a prospectus supplement to its existing Shelf Registration Statement (the “Initial Prospectus Supplement”) naming WFLP as a Selling Holder under such Shelf Registration Statement in such a manner as to permit WFLP to deliver a prospectus to purchasers of Registrable Securities in accordance with applicable law. In the event that another Shelf Registration Statement is filed after the date of this Agreement as provided under Section 2.1(a), as promptly as practicable (but no later than thirty (30) days) after the time the Shelf Registration Statement becomes or is declared effective, WFLP (and, if applicable, any other Holder) shall be named as a Selling Holder in the Shelf Registration Statement, or in a prospectus supplement thereto, in such a manner as to permit such Holder to deliver a prospectus to purchasers of Registrable Securities in accordance with applicable law. If required by applicable law, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, after the filing of the Initial Prospectus Supplement or the effectiveness of a new Shelf Registration Statement, upon the written request of any Holder, the Company shall file a supplement to such prospectus or amendment to the Shelf Registration Statement to name such Holder as a Selling Holder therein and shall use reasonable best efforts to cause any post-effective amendment to such Shelf Registration Statement filed for such purpose to be declared effective by the Commission as promptly as reasonably practicable after the filing thereof. Unless the Company and each Holder shall consent in writing, no party, other than a Holder, shall be a Selling Holder under the Shelf Registration Statement.

(c) Underwritten Shelf Offering. The Holders may, by written notice to the Company, elect to sell some or all of the Registrable Securities registered pursuant to a Shelf Registration Statement, in an offering amount not to be less than Fifty Million Dollars ($50,000,000) of Registrable Securities, in the form of an underwritten offering under the Shelf Registration Statement (an “Underwritten Shelf Offering”); provided, that (i) the Company shall not be obligated to effect more than an aggregate of six (6) underwritten offerings under this Section 2.1(c) and Section 2.2; and (ii) the Company shall not be obligated to effect an underwritten offering more than once per quarter. For the avoidance of doubt, the Holders may make an unlimited number of sales under any Shelf Registration Statement that are not underwritten offerings. Any request for an Underwritten Shelf Offering will specify the number of shares of Registrable Securities proposed to be sold and will also specify the intended method of disposition thereof (which may include a Block Trade or an Overnight Underwritten Offering). The Company shall select the Underwriter or Underwriters in connection with any such Underwritten Shelf Offering; provided that such Underwriter or Underwriters must be reasonably satisfactory to the Holders. Unless the Company and each Holder shall consent in writing, no party, other than a Holder, shall be permitted to offer securities in connection with any such Underwritten Shelf Offering.

 

4


(d) Filing of Additional Registration Statements. The Company shall prepare and file such additional registration statements or prospectus supplements thereto as may be necessary under the rules and regulations promulgated pursuant to the Securities Act and use reasonable best efforts to cause such registration statements to be declared effective by the Commission so that the registration statement remains continuously effective with respect to resales of Registrable Securities as of and for the period required under the last sentence of Section 2.1(a) and the Holders may sell Registrable Securities as Selling Holders thereunder, such subsequent registration statements to constitute a Shelf Registration Statement hereunder. Each Shelf Registration Statement shall be an automatic shelf registration statement on Form S-3; provided, however, that (i) if the Company ceases to be eligible to use an automatic shelf registration statement on Form S-3, the Shelf Registration Statement shall be a non-automatic shelf registration statement on Form S-3 and (ii) if the Company ceases to be eligible to use Form S-3, the Shelf Registration Statement shall be a registration statement on Form S-1.

SECTION 2.2. Demand Registration.

(a) Request for Registration. In the event that the Company fails to file, has not filed or, if filed, fails to maintain the effectiveness of, a Shelf Registration Statement then, in addition to any other remedies the Holders may have, at law or in equity, one or more Holders may make a written request to the Company for registration under the Securities Act of all or part of their Registrable Securities (a “Demand Registration”); provided that the offering amount of such Registrable Securities shall not be less than Fifty Million Dollars ($50,000,000). As promptly as practicable (but no later than thirty (30) days) after receipt of the written request for the Demand Registration, the Company shall prepare and file a registration statement on an appropriate form with respect to any Demand Registration (a “Demand Registration Statement”) and shall use reasonable best efforts to cause the Demand Registration Statement to be declared effective by the Commission as promptly as reasonably practicable (but no later than sixty (60) days) after the filing thereof and the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to keep such Demand Registration Statement effective for a period ending when all Registrable Securities covered by the Demand Registration Statement are no longer Registrable Securities. The Company shall not be obligated to effect more than an aggregate of six (6) underwritten offerings under Section 2.1(c) and this Section 2.2. Any request for a Demand Registration will specify the number of shares of Registrable Securities proposed to be sold and will also specify the intended method of disposition thereof (which may include a Block Trade or an Overnight Underwritten Offering). Unless the Company and each Holder shall consent in writing, no party, other than a Holder, shall be permitted to offer securities in connection with any such Demand Registration. Any Holder that has requested its Registrable Securities be included in a Demand Registration pursuant to this Section 2.2(a) may withdraw all or any portion of its Registrable Securities from a Demand Registration at any time prior to the effectiveness of the applicable Demand Registration Statement. Upon receipt of a notice to such effect from Holders with respect to all of the Registrable Securities to be included in the Demand Registration, the Company shall cease all efforts to secure effectiveness of the applicable Demand Registration Statement.

(b) Effective Registration. A registration will not count as a Demand Registration until the applicable Demand Registration Statement has become effective.

(c) Underwritten Demand Offering. If a Holder so elects, by written notice to the Company, the offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Demand Registration shall be in the form of an underwritten offering (an “Underwritten Demand Offering”); provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to effect an underwritten offering once per quarter. The Company shall select the Underwriter or Underwriters in connection with any such Underwritten Demand Offering; provided that such Underwriter or Underwriters must be reasonably satisfactory to the Holders. Unless the Company and each Holder shall consent in writing, no party, other than a Holder, shall be permitted to offer securities in connection with any such Underwritten Demand Offering.

SECTION 2.3. Piggy-Back Registration. If the Company proposes to file a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to any offering of its securities for its own account or for the account of any of its securityholders (other than (a) any registration statement filed by the Company under the Securities Act pursuant to Section 2.1 or Section 2.2, (b) a registration statement on Form S-4 or Form S-8 (or any related form or substitute form that may be adopted by the Commission), (c) a registration incidental to an issuance of debt securities, (d) in connection with any dividend or distribution reinvestment or similar plan, or (e) a registration of securities solely relating to an offering and sale to employees or directors of the Company pursuant to any employee stock plan or other employee benefit plan arrangement, a dividend reinvestment plan, or a merger or consolidation) (a “Piggy-Back Registration Statement”), then the Company shall give written notice of such proposed filing to the Holders (a “Piggy-Back Notice”) as soon as practicable (but in no event less than fifteen (15) days before the anticipated filing date) (such a registration, a “Piggy-Back Registration”). The Piggy-Back Notice shall state the intended method of disposition of the securities in the Piggy-Back Registration, and such notice shall offer the Holders the opportunity to register such number of shares of Registrable Securities as each such Holder may request. Any Holder may elect to include its Registrable Securities in such Piggy-Back Registration by delivering written notice of such election (including the number of shares of Registrable Securities it desires to include) within fifteen (15) days of receipt of the Piggy-Back Notice. If the Piggy-Back Registration is in the form of an underwritten offering (an “Underwritten Piggy-Back Offering”), the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to cause the managing Underwriter or Underwriters of such Underwritten Piggy-Back Offering to permit the Registrable Securities requested to be included therein to be included on the same terms and conditions as apply to the Company and any other securityholders. Each Holder shall be permitted to withdraw all or part of its Registrable Securities from a Piggy-Back Registration at any time prior to the effectiveness of such Piggy-Back Registration Statement. The Company shall not be obligated to effect more than an aggregate of six (6) registrations under this Section 2.3. A registration will not count for purposes of the immediately preceding sentence until the applicable Piggy-Back Registration Statement has become effective.

SECTION 2.4. Reduction of Offering. Notwithstanding anything contained herein, if the managing Underwriter or Underwriters of an offering described in Section 2.1(c), Section 2.2 or Section 2.3 advise the Company and the Holders of the Registrable Securities included in such offering in writing that the size of the applicable underwritten offering is such that the success of the offering would be adversely affected by inclusion of the number of securities requested to be included, then the amount of securities to be offered shall be reduced to a number that, in the opinion of such managing Underwriter or Underwriters can be sold without having such an adverse effect, and such number of securities shall be allocated as follows:

(a) in the event of an Underwritten Shelf Offering or an Underwritten Demand Offering, the securities to be included in such Underwritten Shelf Offering or Underwritten Demand Offering shall be allocated solely to the Holders that have requested to participate in such Underwritten Shelf Offering or Underwritten Demand Offering on a pro rata basis based on the relative number of Registrable Securities then held by them; and

(b) in the event of an Underwritten Piggy-Back Offering, the securities to be included in such Underwritten Piggy-Back Offering shall be allocated, (i) first, to the Company and/or any Person (other than a Holder) exercising a contractual right to demand the registration and sale of its securities in such Underwritten Piggy-Back Offering (it being understood there are no such contractual rights in effect as of the date of this Agreement), as the case may be, (ii) second, and only if all the securities referred to in clause (i) have been included, to the Holders that have requested to participate in such Underwritten Piggy-Back Offering on a pro rata basis based on the relative number of Registrable Securities then held by each of them and (iii) third, and only if all of the Registrable Securities referred to in clause (ii) have been included, any other securities eligible for inclusion in such Underwritten Piggy-Back Offering (it being understood there are no such eligible securities as of the date of this Agreement).

SECTION 2.5. Black-Out Periods.

(a) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.1 or Section 2.2, the Company shall be permitted (x) to postpone the filing of any Shelf Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2.1 or any Demand Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2.2, (y) to suspend the effectiveness of any Shelf Registration Statement or Demand Registration Statement or (z) to require the Holders not to sell Registrable Securities under any Shelf Registration Statement or Demand Registration Statement, in each case, for such times as the Company reasonably may determine is necessary and advisable, if any of the following events shall occur (each such circumstance a “Suspension Event”): (i) the board of directors of the Company determines in good faith that (A) disclosure of a material transaction that would otherwise be required to be disclosed due to such registration would have an adverse effect on the Company or the Company’s ability to consummate such a material transaction or such a material transaction renders the Company unable to comply with the Securities Act, (B) such registration or continued registration would require premature disclosure of material information that the Company has a bona fide business purpose for preserving as confidential or (C) such registration or continued registration would render the Company unable to comply with the requirements of the Securities Act or Exchange Act; or (ii) solely in the case of foregoing clause (y) or clause (z), the board of directors of the Company determines in good faith that the Company is required by law, rule or regulation to supplement or amend a Shelf Registration Statement or Demand Registration Statement in order to ensure that it (or the prospectus contained therein) does not contain an 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. Upon the occurrence of any Suspension Event, the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to resolve the Suspension Event and to file the applicable Shelf Registration Statement or Demand Registration Statement, to cause the applicable Shelf Registration Statement or Demand Registration Statement to become effective and/or to permit resumed use of the Shelf Registration Statement or Demand Registration Statement, as applicable, as soon as reasonably possible. If the Company exercises a suspension under this Section 2.5(a), then during the period of such suspension, the Company shall not engage in any transaction involving the offer, issuance, sale or purchase of Company equity securities (whether for the benefit of the Company or a third Person), except (A) transactions involving the issuance or purchase of Company equity securities as contemplated by employee benefit plans or employee or director arrangements and (B) the issuance of Company equity securities as acquisition consideration pursuant to any transaction described in clause (i) of this Section 2.5(a).

(b) The Company will provide written notice (a “Suspension Notice”) to the Holders of the occurrence of any Suspension Event within three (3) Business Days after its occurrence; provided, however, that the Company shall not be permitted to exercise a suspension pursuant to Section 2.5(a) more than twice during any twelve (12)-month period, more than once per quarter or for a period exceeding sixty (60) days on any one occasion. Upon receipt of a Suspension Notice, each Holder agrees that it will (i) immediately discontinue offers and sales of Registrable Securities under the applicable Shelf Registration Statement or Demand Registration Statement and (ii) maintain the confidentiality of any information included in the Suspension Notice unless otherwise required by law or subpoena. The Holders may recommence effecting offers and sales of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the applicable Shelf Registration Statement or Demand Registration Statement following further written notice to such effect (an “End of Suspension Notice”) from the Company, which End of Suspension Notice shall be given by the Company to the Holders promptly (and no later than three (3) Business Days) following the conclusion of any Suspension Event and its effect.

 

7


(c) Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, if the Company shall give a Suspension Notice with respect to any Shelf Registration Statement or Demand Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2.5(a), the Company agrees that it shall extend the period of time during which such Shelf Registration Statement or Demand Registration Statement shall be maintained effective (including the period referred to in Section 2.6(a)) by the number of days during the period from the date of receipt by the Holders of the Suspension Notice to and including the date of receipt by the Holders of the End of Suspension Notice and promptly provide copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus necessary to resume offers and sales, with respect to each Suspension Event; provided, that such period of time shall not be extended beyond the date that the Registrable Securities covered by such Shelf Registration Statement or Demand Registration Statement are no longer Registrable Securities.

SECTION 2.6. Registration Procedures; Filings; Information. Subject to Section 2.5, in connection with any Shelf Registration Statement under Section 2.1, any Demand Registration Statement under Section 2.2 or Piggy-Back Registration Statement under Section 2.3, the Company will use reasonable best efforts to effect the registration and the sale of the applicable Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method of disposition thereof as quickly as possible, and in connection with any such request:

(a) The Company will as expeditiously as possible, pursuant to the timing requirements set forth herein, prepare and file with the Commission the applicable registration statement on the applicable form required under this Agreement (or, if this Agreement does not require a form, any appropriate form permitting for the sale of the Registrable Securities according to the intended method of disposition) and use reasonable best efforts to cause such registration statement to become and remain effective (i) in the case of a Shelf Registration Statement, for the period described in the last sentence of Section 2.1(a) and (ii) in the case of a Demand Registration Statement or Piggy-Back Registration Statement, for a period of not less than 180 days from the effective date of such registration statement.

(b) The Company will prior to filing a registration statement or prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, furnish to each Selling Holder and each Underwriter, if any, of the Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement copies of such registration statement, prospectus, amendment or supplement as proposed to be filed with copies of all documents proposed to be filed, which documents shall be subject to the reasonable review of such Selling Holder and Underwriter, if any, and their respective counsel and not file any such registration statement, prospectus, amendment or supplement to which any Selling Holder or the Underwriter, if any, shall reasonably object; provided, that the Company shall not be responsible for any delay in filing due to such objections. The Company shall thereafter furnish or make available to such Selling Holder and Underwriter, if any, such number of conformed copies of such registration statement, each amendment and supplement thereto (and upon request, all exhibits thereto and documents incorporated by reference therein), the prospectus included in such registration statement (including each preliminary prospectus) and such other documents as such Selling Holder or Underwriter may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such Selling Holder.

(c) After the filing of the registration statement, the Company will promptly notify each Selling Holder of Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement of (i) any stop order issued or threatened by the Commission or any order by the Commission or any other regulatory authority preventing or suspending the use of any preliminary or final prospectus or the initiation or threatening of any proceedings for such purposes, (ii) any written comments by the Commission or any request by the Commission or any other federal or state governmental authority for amendments or supplements to such registration statement or for additional information or (iii) the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Registrable Securities for offering or sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose.

 

8


(d) The Company will promptly take all reasonable actions required to prevent, or obtain the withdrawal of, any stop order or other order suspending the use of any preliminary or final registration statement.

(e) The Company will use reasonable best efforts to (i) register or qualify the Registrable Securities under such other securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions in the United States (where an exemption does not apply) as any Selling Holder or managing Underwriter or Underwriters, if any, reasonably (in light of such Selling Holder’s intended method of disposition) requests and (ii) cause such Registrable Securities to be registered with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary by virtue of the business and operations of the Company and do any and all other acts and things that may be reasonably necessary or advisable to enable such Selling Holder to consummate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such Selling Holder; provided that the Company will not be required to qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this clause (e).

(f) The Company will promptly notify each Selling Holder of Registrable Securities, at any time when a prospectus covering the resale of such Registrable Securities is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of (i) the Company’s receipt of any notification of the suspension of the qualification of such Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, (ii) the occurrence of an event requiring the preparation of a supplement or amendment to such prospectus so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such Registrable Securities, such prospectus will not contain an 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 promptly make available to each Selling Holder any such supplement or amendment and (iii) make available or deliver to each Selling Holder and each Underwriter, if any, without charge, as many copies of the applicable prospectus (including each preliminary prospectus), any amendment or supplement thereto and such other documents necessary to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities as such Selling Holder or Underwriter may reasonably request.

(g) The Company will promptly (i) incorporate in a prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment such information as the Underwriter or the applicable Selling Holders reasonably request be included therein relating to the plan of distribution with respect to such Registrable Securities, and make all required filings of such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment, (ii) in the case of such a post-effective amendment, use reasonably best efforts to cause such post-effective amendment to be declared effective by the Commission as soon as reasonably possible (if such post-effective amendment is not automatically effective upon filing with the Commission), and (iii) make available or furnish to each Selling Holder and each Underwriter, if any, without charge, as many conformed copies as such Selling Holder or Underwriter may reasonably request of the applicable registration statement and any amendment or post-effective amendment thereto, including financial statements and schedules, all documents incorporated therein by reference and all exhibits (including those incorporated by reference); provided, that the Company shall have no obligation to modify any information if the Company reasonably expects that so doing would cause (A) such registration statement, prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment to contain an 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 not misleading or (B) such filings to contain an untrue statement of a material fact or to omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(h) The Company will enter into customary agreements (including an underwriting agreement, if any, in customary form) and use reasonable best efforts to take such other actions as the applicable Selling Holders or Underwriters, if any, reasonably request and that are required for the

 

9


disposition of such Registrable Securities, including, without limitation, (A) obtaining for delivery to such Underwriters, with copies to such Selling Holders, an opinion from counsel for the Company dated as of the closing date of the applicable offering, in the form customarily given in opinions of the Company’s counsel to underwriters in underwritten registered offerings, which opinions shall be reasonably satisfactory to such Underwriters and their counsel, (B) in the case of an underwritten offering, obtaining for delivery to such Underwriters, with copies to such Selling Holders, a comfort letter from the Company’s independent certified public accountants in customary form and covering such matters of the type customarily covered by comfort letters as such Underwriters reasonably request, dated the date of the underwriting agreement and brought down to the closing under the underwriting agreement, and (C) cooperating with such Selling Holders and Underwriters and their respective counsel in connection with any other filings required to be made with FINRA (if any).

(i) The Company will make available upon reasonable notice and during normal business hours for inspection by any applicable Underwriter and any attorney, accountant or other professional retained by any such Underwriter (collectively, the “Inspectors”), all financial and other book and records, pertinent corporate documents and books and records relating to the properties of the Company or its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Records”) as shall be reasonably necessary to enable them to exercise their due diligence responsibility, and cause the officers, directors and employees of the Company and its subsidiaries to supply all information reasonably requested by any Inspector in connection with such registration statement and related due diligence defense, subject to entry by each such Inspector into a customary confidentiality and non-use agreement in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company, provided, that, unless the disclosure of such Records is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in a registration statement or the release of such Records is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other order from a court of competent jurisdiction, the Company shall not be required to provide any information under this Section 2.6(i) if the Company believes, after consultation with counsel for the Company, that to do so would cause the Company to forfeit an attorney-client privilege that was applicable to such information; provided, further, that such Inspector agrees that it shall, upon learning that disclosure of such Records is sought in a court of competent jurisdiction, give notice to the Company and allow the Company, at its expense, to undertake appropriate action and to prevent disclosure of the Records deemed confidential.

(j) The Company will otherwise use reasonable best efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission, and make available to its securityholders, as soon as reasonably practicable, an earnings statement covering a period of 12 months, beginning within three months after the effective date of the registration statement, which earnings statement shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 of the Commission promulgated thereunder (or any successor rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the Commission).

(k) The Company may require each applicable Selling Holder to promptly furnish in writing to the Company such information regarding such Selling Holder, the Registrable Securities held by it and the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Securities as the Company may from time to time reasonably request and such other information as may be legally required in connection with such registration.

(l) Each Selling Holder agrees that it will promptly notify the Company at any time when a prospectus relating to the registration of such Registrable Securities is required to be delivered under the Securities Act of the happening of an event as a result of which information previously furnished by such Selling Holder to the Company in writing for inclusion in such prospectus contains an 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 not misleading in light of the circumstances in which they were made.

 

10


(m) In the case of an underwritten offering, the Company will cooperate with the customary marketing efforts of the Underwriters, including, without limitation, providing information and materials and making appropriate senior executive officers of the Company available to participate in meetings, customary “road show” presentations and/or investor conference calls to market the Registrable Securities that may be reasonably requested by the Underwriters in any such underwritten offering and otherwise to reasonably facilitate, cooperate with, and participate in each proposed offering contemplated herein and customary selling efforts related thereto.

(n) In the case of an Overnight Underwritten Offering, the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to effect the registration and the sale of the applicable Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method of disposition thereof as quickly as practicable; provided that the applicable Selling Holders provide the Company with at least three (3) Business Days’ notice of such offering.

SECTION 2.7. Registration Expenses.

(a) In connection with any registration statement required to be filed hereunder, the Company shall pay the following registration expenses incurred in connection with the registration hereunder (the “Registration Expenses”), regardless of whether such registration statement is declared effective by the Commission: (i) all registration and filing fees, and any other fees and expenses associated with filings required to be made with the SEC or FINRA, (ii) fees and expenses of compliance with securities or blue sky laws (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel in connection with blue sky qualifications of the Registrable Securities), (iii) all printing, duplicating, word processing, messenger, telephone, facsimile and delivery expenses (including expenses of printing certificates for the Registrable Securities in a form eligible for deposit with The Depository Trust Company and of printing prospectuses), (iv) the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the listing of the Registrable Securities on NASDAQ or other applicable national securities exchange, and (v) reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company and customary fees and expenses for independent certified public accountants retained by the Company (including the expenses of any comfort letters requested pursuant to Section 2.6(h)). The Company shall have no obligation to pay any underwriting fees, discounts or commissions attributable to the sale of Registrable Securities or any transfer taxes relating to the registration or sale of the Registrable Securities, nor will the Company have any obligation to pay any attorneys’ or other advisors’ fees of the Selling Holders.

(b) Promptly, and in no event more than ten (10) days, following the effectiveness of a Shelf Registration Statement or Demand Registration Statement, the closing of a Underwritten Shelf Offering or Underwritten Demand Offering or the filing at the request of the Holders of any prospectus supplement relating to the Registrable Securities (including the Initial Prospectus Supplement), the Holders shall reimburse the Company for the reasonable Registration Expenses incurred by the Company and directly attributable to such registration statement or offering, as the case may be.

SECTION 2.8. Indemnification by the Company. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, to the full extent permitted by law, each Selling Holder, each member, limited partner or general partner thereof, each member, limited partner or general partner of each such member, limited or general partner, each of their respective Affiliates, officers, directors, stockholders, employees, advisors, and agents and each Person, if any, who controls such Persons within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act and each of their respective Representatives from and against any and all losses, penalties, judgments, suits, costs, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable costs of investigation and legal expenses) (each, a “Loss”, and collectively, “Losses”) that arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any registration statement or prospectus relating to such Registrable Securities, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any preliminary prospectus, or that arise out of or are based

 

11


upon any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, except insofar as such Losses arise out of or are based upon any such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission with respect to information relating to such Selling Holder (a) that such Selling Holder knew to be untrue or reasonably should have known to be untrue or knew to be an omission or reasonably should have known to be an omission or (b) was included in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by such Selling Holder or on such Selling Holder’s behalf expressly for inclusion therein or that are due to such Selling Holder’s failure to deliver a copy of such registration statement or prospectus relating to such Registrable Securities, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any preliminary prospectus after the Company has made available or furnished such Selling Holder with copies of the same prior to any written confirmation of the sale of Registrable Securities. This indemnity shall be in addition to any liability the Company may otherwise have. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such Selling Holder or any Indemnified Party.

SECTION 2.9. Indemnification by Holders of Registrable Securities. Each Selling Holder agrees, severally but not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its officers, directors and agents and each Person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act and each of their respective Representatives to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to such Selling Holder pursuant to Section 2.8, but only with respect to (a) written information relating to such Selling Holder included in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing by such Selling Holder or on such Selling Holder’s behalf expressly for use in any registration statement or prospectus relating to the Registrable Securities of such Selling Holder, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any preliminary prospectus and (b) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any registration statement or prospectus relating to such Registrable Securities, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any preliminary prospectus, or that arise out of or are based upon any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading and (i) that such Selling Holder knew to be untrue or knew to be an omission or that such Selling Holder reasonably should have known to be untrue or reasonably should have known to be an omission and (ii) which the Company did not know to be untrue or did not know to be an omission. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will the liability of a Selling Holder under this Section 2.9 or Section 2.11 or otherwise hereunder exceed the net proceeds actually received by such Selling Holder from the sale of its Registrable Securities hereunder. This indemnity shall be in addition to any liability each Selling Holder may otherwise have.

SECTION 2.10. Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. In case any proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall be instituted involving any Person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section 2.8 or Section 2.9, such Person (an “Indemnified Party”) shall promptly notify the Person against whom such indemnity may be sought (an “Indemnifying Party”) in writing and the Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party, and shall assume the payment of all fees and expenses; provided that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give such notice will not relieve such Indemnifying Party of its obligations under Section 2.8 or Section 2.9, as applicable, except to the extent such Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure. In any such proceeding, any Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party unless (a) the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel or (b) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. It is understood that the Indemnifying Party shall not, in connection with any proceeding

 

12


or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (in addition to any local counsel) at any time for all such Indemnified Parties, and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. In the case of any such separate firm for the Indemnified Parties, such firm shall be designated in writing by (i) in the case of Persons indemnified pursuant to Section 2.8, WFLP and (ii) in the case of Persons indemnified pursuant to Section 2.9, the Company. The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of with any Indemnified Party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such proceeding without any admission of liability by such Indemnified Party.

SECTION 2.11. Contribution.

(a) If the indemnification provided for in Section 2.8 or Section 2.9 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an Indemnified Party or insufficient in respect of any Losses referred to herein, then each such Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such Losses as between the Company on the one hand and each Selling Holder on the other, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Company and of each Selling Holder in connection with such statements or omissions which resulted in such Losses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of each Selling Holder on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by such party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

(b) The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Party as a result of the Losses referred to in Section 2.11(a) shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 2.11, no Selling Holder shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the securities of such Selling Holder were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which such Selling Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Selling Holder’s obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 2.11 are several in such proportion that the proceeds of the offering received by such Selling Holder bears to the total proceeds of the offering received by all the Selling Holders, and not joint.

SECTION 2.12. Participation in Underwritten Offerings. No Person may participate in any underwritten offering hereunder unless such Person (a) agrees to sell such Person’s securities on the basis provided in any underwriting agreement (which shall be reasonably satisfactory to such Person in form and substance) and (b) completes and executes all customary questionnaires and other documents reasonably required under the terms of such customary underwriting agreement.

SECTION 2.13. Rule 144. The Company covenants that it will timely file any reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act to the extent required from time to time to enable Holders to sell Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144. Upon the reasonable request of any Holder, the Company will deliver to such Holder a written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements and, if not, the specific thereof.

 

13


SECTION 2.14. Limitation on Subsequent Registration Rights. From and after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the Holders, enter into any agreement with any current or future holder of any securities of the Company that (a) would allow such current or future holder to require the Company to include securities in any Underwritten Shelf Offering or Underwritten Demand Offering or (b) constitute contractual rights of the type described in Section 2.4(b)(i) (i.e., that would allow such current or future holder to require the Company to include securities in any Underwritten Piggy-Back Offering on a basis that has priority over the Registrable Securities of the Selling Holders). The Company hereby represents and warrants to the Holders that Schedule A hereto sets forth a correct and complete list of all other currently effective registration rights granted by the Company to other holders of its securities as of the date of this Agreement.

SECTION 2.15. Restriction on Sales of Common Stock. Without the Company’s prior written consent, the Holders, collectively, shall not be permitted to sell more than an aggregate of 4,043,903 shares of Common Stock (as such number shall be adjusted for any conversion, dividend, stock-split, distribution or exchange, merger, consolidation, exchange, recapitalization or reclassification or similar transactions affecting such shares) pursuant to any Shelf Registration Statement, Demand Registration Statement or Piggy-Back Registration Statement in any quarter ending after the date of this Agreement.

SECTION 2.16. Termination. This Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force or effect when there shall be no Registrable Securities outstanding; provided, that Sections 2.8, 2.9, 2.10 and 2.11 shall survive any such termination.

ARTICLE III

MISCELLANEOUS

SECTION 3.1. NASDAQ Listing. For so long as any Common Stock is listed on the NASDAQ Global Select Market (“NASDAQ”) or any other stock exchange, the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to cause any Registrable Securities to be listed on the NASDAQ or such other exchange by the date that the Shelf Registration Statement, Demand Registration Statement or Piggy-Back Registration Statement, as applicable, has been declared effective by the Commission.

SECTION 3.2. Remedies. In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein and granted by law, including recovery of damages, the Holders shall be entitled to specific performance of the rights under this Agreement. The Company agrees that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Agreement and hereby agrees to waive the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate and any requirement of the Holders to post a bond or provide an indemnity in any such action.

SECTION 3.3. Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement may not be amended, modified or supplemented without the written consent of the Company and WFLP (on behalf of the Holders). Any waiver of, or consent to the departure from, any provision of this Agreement must be in writing and signed by the party entitled to the benefit of such provision. Any such waiver or consent shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any subsequent non-compliance with, or as a consent to the departure from, any provision. No failure or delay by any party to insist upon the strict performance of any covenant, duty, agreement or condition of this Agreement or to exercise any right or remedy consequent upon any breach thereof shall constitute waiver of any such breach or any other covenant, duty, agreement or condition.
