The Shelf shall provide for the resale of Registrable Securities from time to time, and pursuant to any method or combination of methods legally available to, and requested by, the Holders. The Company shall maintain the Shelf in accordance with the terms hereof, and shall prepare and file with the SEC such amendments, including post-effective amendments, and supplements as may be necessary to keep such Shelf effective and in compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act. In the event the Company files a Shelf on Form S-1, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to convert such Shelf (and any Subsequent Shelf Registration) to a Shelf on Form S-3 as soon as practicable after the Company is eligible to use Form S-3.

 

(b) Subsequent Shelf Registration. If any Shelf ceases to be effective under the Securities Act for any reason, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to, as promptly as is reasonably practicable, cause such Shelf to again become effective under the Securities Act (including obtaining the prompt withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of such Shelf), and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to, as promptly as is reasonably practicable, amend such Shelf in a manner reasonably expected to result in the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of such Shelf or file an additional registration statement as a Shelf Registration (a “Subsequent Shelf Registration”) registering the resale from time to time by the Holders thereof of all securities that are Registrable Securities as of the time of such filing. If a Subsequent Shelf Registration is filed, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to (i) cause such Subsequent Shelf Registration to become effective under the Securities Act as promptly as is reasonably practicable after the filing thereof (it being agreed that the Subsequent Shelf Registration shall be an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement if the Company is a Well-Known Seasoned Issuer) and (ii) keep such Subsequent Shelf Registration continuously effective.

(c) Shelf Takedown. At any time and from time to time after (i) the effective date of the Shelf and (ii) the Company is eligible to use Form S-3, Holders may request to sell in an underwritten offering that is registered pursuant to the Shelf (a “Shelf Takedown”) all or a portion of their Registrable Securities (1) having an anticipated aggregate offering price, net of Selling Expenses, in excess of $50,000,000 or (2) constituting the total aggregate Registrable Securities then held by all Holders. Upon the Company’s receipt of any such request, the Company shall (x) within three (3) days after the date such request is given, give notice thereof (a “Shelf Takedown Demand Notice”) to all Holders other than the Initiating Holders, if applicable, and any other holders of equivalent securities that the Company is obligated to register pursuant to written contractual arrangements with such persons (the “Other Holders”); and (y) as soon as practicable, include in such underwritten Shelf Takedown all Registrable Securities that the Initiating Holders requested to be registered and any additional Registrable Securities or equivalent securities requested to be included in such registration by any other Holders or Other Holders, as specified by notice given by each such Holder or Other Holder to the Company within ten (10) days after the Company sends the Shelf Takedown Demand Notice, and in each case, subject to the limitations of Section 2.1(f). In connection with any Shelf Takedown, the Company shall not effect any public sale or distribution of its equity securities or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for such securities (except pursuant to registrations on Form S-8 or Form S-4 under the Securities Act), during the seven (7) days prior to and the sixty (60) day period beginning on the date of pricing of such Shelf Takedown or such other period provided in the underwriting, placement or similar agreement executed in connection with such Shelf Takedown, provided that any such sixty (60) day or other period shall be able to be waived by the applicable underwriter or placement agent. The Company shall not be obligated to effect, or to take any action to effect, any Shelf Takedown pursuant to this Section 2.1(c) after the Company has effected two (2) Shelf Takedowns pursuant to this Section 2.1(c); provided that in no event shall the Company be obligated to effect more than one (1) Shelf Takedown in any twelve (12) month period. A Shelf Takedown is not be counted as “effected” for purposes of this Section 2.1(c) until such time as the applicable prospectus supplement has been filed with the SEC, unless the Initiating Holders withdraw their request for such Shelf Takedown and forfeit their right to one Shelf Takedown, in which case such Shelf Takedown shall be counted as “effected” for purposes of this Section 2.1(c); provided, that if such withdrawal is during a period the Company has deferred taking action pursuant to Section 2.1(f), then the Initiating Holders may withdraw their request for a Shelf Takedown and such Shelf Takedown will not be counted as “effected” for purposes of this Section 2.1(c).

 

(d) Form S-1 Demand. If at any time after the date that is one hundred and eighty (180) days after the effective date of the registration statement mentioned in Section 2.1(a) and (b), the Company receives a request from Holders that the Company file a Form S-1 registration statement with respect to Registrable Securities the resale of which is not registered on the Shelf (1) having an anticipated aggregate offering price, net of Selling Expenses, in excess of $50,000,000 or (2) constituting the total aggregate Registrable Securities then held by all Holders, then the Company shall (x) within ten (10) days after the date such request is given, give notice thereof (the “Demand Notice”) to all Holders other than the Initiating Holders, if applicable, and any Other Holders; and (y) as soon as practicable, and in any event within sixty (60) days after the date such request is given by the Initiating Holders, file a Form S-1 registration statement under the Securities Act covering all Registrable Securities that the Initiating Holders requested to be registered and any additional Registrable Securities or equivalent securities requested to be included in such registration by any other Holders or Other Holders, as specified by notice given by each such Holder or Other Holder to the Company within twenty (20) days of the date the Demand Notice is given, and in each case, subject to the applicable limitations of Sections 2.1(f) and 2.3; provided that the Company may use a Form S-3 registration statement instead of a Form S-1 registration statement pursuant to this Section 2.1(d) if the Company would qualify to use a Form S-3 registration statement within sixty (60) days after the date on which the request from Holders is received.

(e) Form S-3 Demand. If at any time when it is eligible to use a Form S-3 registration statement, the Company receives a request from Holders of Registrable Securities that the Company file a Form S-3 registration statement with respect to outstanding Registrable Securities of such Holders having an anticipated aggregate offering price, net of Selling Expenses, of at least $50,000,000, then the Company shall (i) within ten (10) days after the date such request is given, give a Demand Notice to all Holders other than the Initiating Holders, if applicable, and any Other Holders; and (ii) as soon as practicable, and in any event within forty-five (45) days after the date such request is given by the Initiating Holders, file a Form S-3 registration statement under the Securities Act covering all Registrable Securities or equivalent securities requested to be included in such registration by any other Holders or Other Holders, as specified by notice given by each such Holder or Other Holder to the Company within twenty (20) days of the date the Demand Notice is given, and in each case, subject to the applicable limitations of Sections 2.1(f) and 2.3.

 

(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing obligations, if the Company furnishes to Holders requesting or provided a registration pursuant to this Section 2.1 a certificate signed by the Company’s chief executive officer or chairman of the board stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors it would be materially detrimental to the Company and its stockholders for such registration statement to either become effective or remain effective for as long as such registration statement otherwise would be required to remain effective, because such action would (i) materially interfere with a significant acquisition, corporate reorganization, or other similar transaction involving the Company; (ii) require premature disclosure of non-public material information that the Company has a bona fide business purpose for preserving as confidential; or (iii) be prohibited under, or otherwise render the Company unable to comply with requirements under, the Securities Act or Exchange Act, then the Company shall have the right to defer taking action with respect to such filing, and any time periods (and any associated liquidated damages, if any) with respect to filing or effectiveness thereof shall be tolled correspondingly, for a period of not more than ninety (90) days after the request of the Initiating Holders is given; provided, however, that the Company may not invoke this right more than twice in any twelve (12) month period; and provided further that the Company shall not register any securities for its own account or that of any other stockholder during such period other than an Excluded Registration.

 

(g) The Company shall not be obligated to effect, or to take any action to effect, any registration pursuant to Section 2.1(d): (i) during the period that is sixty (60) days before the Company’s good faith estimate of the date of filing of, and ending on a date that is one hundred eighty (180) days after the effective date of, a Company-initiated registration, provided that the Company is actively employing in good faith commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective; (ii) after the Company has effected, in the aggregate, one (1) registration pursuant to Section 2.1(d); or (iii) if the Initiating Holders propose to dispose of shares of Registrable Securities that may be immediately registered on Form S-3 pursuant to a request made pursuant to Section 2.1(e). The Company shall not be obligated to effect, or to take any action to effect, any registration pursuant to Section 2.1(e): (i) during the period that is thirty (30) days before the Company’s good faith estimate of the date of filing of, and ending on a date that is ninety (90) days after the effective date of, a Company-initiated registration, provided that the Company is actively employing in good faith commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective; or (ii) if the Company has effected two (2) registrations pursuant to Section 2.1(e) within the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding the date of such request. A registration shall not be counted as “effected” for purposes of this Section 2.1(g) until such time as the applicable registration statement has been declared effective by the SEC, unless the Initiating Holders withdraw their request for such registration and forfeit their right to one demand registration statement pursuant to Section 2.1, in which case such withdrawn registration statement shall be counted as “effected” for purposes of this Section 2.1(g); provided, that if such withdrawal is during a period the Company has deferred taking action pursuant to Section 2.1(f), then the Initiating Holders may withdraw their request for registration and such registration will not be counted as “effected” for purposes of this Section 2.1(g).

2.2 Company Registration. If the Company proposes to register (including, for this purpose, a registration effected by the Company for stockholders other than the Holders, including pursuant to any Other Registration Rights Agreement (as defined below)) any of its securities under the Securities Act or consummate an underwritten offering pursuant to a previously filed registration statement (in each case other than in an Excluded Registration), the Company shall, at such time, promptly give each Holder notice of such registration or underwritten offering. Upon the request of each Holder given within twenty (20) days after such notice is given by the Company, the Company shall, subject to the provisions of Section 2.3, cause to be registered all of the Registrable Securities that each such Holder has requested to be included in such registration and/or use its commercially reasonable efforts to include all of the Registrable Securities that each such Holder has requested to be included in such registration or underwritten offering. If the registration referred to in this Section 2.2 is proposed to be underwritten or the Company proposes to consummate an underwritten offering pursuant to a previously filed registration statement (in each case other than in an Excluded Registration), the Company will so advise the Holders as a part of the written notice given pursuant to this Section 2.2 and the terms of Section 2.3 shall apply to such underwritten offering. The Company shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any registration or underwritten offering initiated by it under this Section 2.2 before the effective date of such registration or offering, as applicable, whether or not any Holder has elected to include Registrable Securities in such registration or underwritten offering. The expenses (other than Selling Expenses) of such withdrawn registration shall be borne by the Company in accordance with Section 2.6. No withdrawn registration shall count as one of the permitted Demand Registrations granted to the Holders under this Agreement. If the Company proposes to register (including, for this purpose, a registration effected by the Company for stockholders other than the Holders) any of its securities under the Securities Act pursuant to an Excluded Registration, the Company shall not be required to include any of the Holders’ Registrable Securities in such offering.

 

2.3 Underwriting Requirements.

 

(a) If, pursuant to Section 2.1, the Initiating Holders intend to distribute the Registrable Securities covered by a registration statement by means of an underwriting, they shall either in the case of (i) an underwriting under a registration statement filed pursuant to Section 2.1(d) or 2.1(e) or (ii) an underwritten Shelf Takedown, so advise the Company as a part of their request made pursuant to Section 2.1, and the Company shall include such information in the Demand Notice or Shelf Takedown Demand Notice, as applicable. The underwriter(s) will be selected by the Company, subject to the approval of a majority in interest of the Initiating Holders (not to be unreasonably, withheld, conditioned or delayed). In such event, the right of any Holder or any other Requesting Holder (as defined below) to include such Holder’s Registrable Securities and the Requesting Holder’s securities in such registration shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s and Requesting Holder’s, if applicable, participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities and the Requesting Holder’s securities, if applicable, in the underwriting to the extent provided herein. All Holders and Requesting Holders proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting shall (together with the Company as provided in Section 2.4(f)) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter(s) selected for such underwriting. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.3, if the managing underwriter(s) advise(s) the Initiating Holders in writing that marketing factors require a limitation on the number of shares to be underwritten, then the Initiating Holders shall so advise all Holders of Registrable Securities, including all Requesting Holders, if applicable, that otherwise would be underwritten pursuant hereto, and the number of securities that may be included in the underwriting shall be allocated among such Holders of Registrable Securities, including the Initiating Holders, and such other holders of shares of Common Stock that the Company is obligated to register pursuant to written contractual arrangements with such persons (the “Other Registration Rights Agreements” and any such requesting holders thereunder, the “Requesting Holders”), pro rata in accordance with the number of shares that each such Person has requested be included in such registration, regardless of the number of shares held by each such Person (such proportion is referred to herein as “Pro Rata”), or in such other proportions as shall mutually be agreed to by all such owners of Common Stock under this Agreement and the Other Registration Rights Agreements; provided, however, that the number of Registrable Securities held by the Holders or equivalent securities held by the Requesting Holders, if applicable, to be included in such underwriting shall not be reduced unless all other securities are first entirely excluded from the underwriting. To facilitate the allocation of shares in accordance with the above provisions, the Company or the underwriters may round the number of shares allocated to any Holder or Requesting Holder to the nearest one hundred (100) shares.

(b) In connection with any offering involving an underwriting of shares of the Company’s capital stock pursuant to Section 2.2, the Company shall not be required to include any of the Holders’ Registrable Securities in such underwriting unless the Holders accept the terms of the underwriting as agreed upon between the Company and its underwriters, and then only in such quantity as the underwriters in their sole discretion determine will not jeopardize the success of the offering by the Company. If the total number of securities, including Registrable Securities, requested by Holders to be included in such offering exceeds the number of securities to be sold (other than by the Company) that the underwriters in their reasonable discretion determine is compatible with the success of the offering, then the Company shall be required to include in the offering only that number of such securities, including Registrable Securities, which the underwriters and the Company in their sole discretion determine will not jeopardize the success of the offering. If the underwriters determine that less than all of the securities, including Registrable Securities, requested to be registered can be included in such offering, then the securities that are included in such offering shall be allocated among the selling Holders and the Requesting Holders, Pro Rata, or in such other proportions as shall mutually be agreed to by all such owners of Common Stock under this Agreement and the Other Registration Rights Agreements. To facilitate the allocation of shares in accordance with the above provisions, the Company or the underwriters may round the number of shares allocated to any Holder or Requesting Holder to the nearest one hundred (100) shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall (i) the number of Registrable Securities under this Agreement or the equivalent under the Other Registration Rights Agreements included in the offering be reduced unless all other securities (other than securities to be sold by the Company) are first entirely excluded from the offering, or (ii) the number of Registrable Securities under this Agreement or the equivalent under the Other Registration Rights Agreements, if applicable, included in the offering be reduced below thirty percent (30%) of the total number of securities included in such offering. For purposes of the provision in this Section 2.3(b) concerning apportionment, for any selling Holder (under this Agreement or the equivalent under the Other Registration Rights Agreements) that is a partnership, limited liability company, or corporation, the partners, members, retired partners, retired members, stockholders, and Affiliates of such Holder (under this Agreement or the equivalent under the Other Registration Rights Agreements), or the estates and Immediate Family Members of any such partners, retired partners, members, and retired members and any trusts for the benefit of any of the foregoing Persons, shall be deemed to be a single “selling Holder,” and any pro rata reduction with respect to such “selling Holder” shall be based upon the aggregate number of Registrable Securities (under this Agreement or the equivalent under the Other Registration Rights Agreements) owned by all Persons included in such “selling Holder,” as defined in this sentence.

 

(c) For purposes of Section 2.1, a registration shall not be counted as “effected” if, as a result of an exercise of the underwriter’s cutback provisions in Section 2.3(a), fewer than fifty percent (50%) of the total number of Registrable Securities that Holders have requested to be included in such registration statement are actually included.

 

2.4 Obligations of the Company. Whenever required under this Section 2 to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities pursuant to a registration statement or Shelf Takedown, as applicable, the Company shall, as expeditiously as reasonably possible:

 

(a) prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement and timely pay all required filing fees in respect thereof, with respect to such Registrable Securities and use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective and keep such registration statement effective until the distribution contemplated in the registration statement has been completed;

(k) notify each selling Holder, promptly after the Company receives notice thereof, of the time when such registration statement has been declared effective or a supplement to any prospectus forming a part of such registration statement has been filed;

(o) pay the fees of the Company’s transfer agent and any reasonable, documented legal fees of outside counsel to the Company to provide an opinion to the effect that such transfer is permitted under the Securities Act and applicable state laws (or if outside counsel to the Company is unwilling or unavailable to provide such opinion, the reasonable, documented legal fees of one outside counsel to the Holders to provide such opinion) to effectuate the transfer of Registrable Securities from Holders to other Persons, as permitted by Section 3.1; provided, in each case, that such Holders shall provide such certificates and other documentation as the Company shall reasonably request in connection with such opinions and transfers; and

 

(p) use its commercially reasonable efforts to take other actions necessary to effect the registration and sale of the Registrable Securities contemplated hereby.

 

In addition, the Company shall ensure that, at all times after any registration statement covering a public offering of securities of the Company under the Securities Act shall have become effective, its insider trading policy shall provide that the Company’s directors may implement a trading program under Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act.

 

2.5 Furnish Information. It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to take any action pursuant to this Section 2 with respect to the Registrable Securities of any selling Holder that such Holder shall furnish to the Company such information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it, and the intended method of disposition of such securities as is reasonably required to effect the registration of such Holder’s Registrable Securities.

 

2.6 Expenses of Registration. All expenses (other than Selling Expenses) arising from, incident to or incurred in connection with registrations, filings, or qualifications pursuant to this Agreement, including, without limitation, all registration, filing, listing and qualification fees; printers’ and accounting fees; fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company and its independent public accountants and any other accounting and legal fees, charges and expenses incurred by the Company (including any expenses arising from any special audits or “comfort letters” required in connection with or incident to any sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to a registration); and the reasonable and documented fees and disbursements, not to exceed $50,000 in the aggregate of one counsel for the selling Holders (“Selling Holder Counsel”); fees and expenses incurred in connection with any “road show” for underwritten offerings, including travel expenses, shall be borne and paid by the Company; provided, however, that if any registration proceeding begun pursuant to Section 2.1 is subsequently withdrawn at the request of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities to be registered (other than during a period of delay under Section 2.1(f)), then the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities agree to forfeit their right to one registration (representing such withdrawn registration) pursuant to Sections 2.1(d) or 2.1(e), unless the Company is reimbursed by such Holders requesting withdrawal for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Company in connection with such registration (including reasonable fees of outside legal counsel and third party accountants); provided, further, that if at the time of such withdrawal, the Holders shall have learned of a material adverse change in the condition, business or prospects of the Company from that known to the Holders at the time of their request and have withdrawn the request within a reasonable time after learning such information, then the Holders shall not be required to pay any such expenses and shall not forfeit their right to one registration pursuant to Sections 2.1(d) or 2.1(e). All Selling Expenses relating to Registrable Securities registered pursuant to this Section 2 shall be borne and paid by the Holders pro rata on the basis of the number of Registrable Securities registered on their behalf.

 

- 11 -

 

 

2.7 Delay of Registration. No Holder shall have any right to obtain or seek an injunction restraining or otherwise delaying any registration pursuant to this Agreement as the result of any controversy that might arise with respect to the interpretation or implementation of this Section 2.

 

2.8 Indemnification. If any Registrable Securities are included in a registration statement under this Section 2:

 

(a) To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Holder of Registrable Securities, and the Affiliates, partners, members, managers, officers, directors, and equityholders of each such Holder; legal counsel and accountants for each such Holder; any underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act) for each such Holder; and each Person, if any, who controls such Holder or underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, against any Damages; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 2.8(a) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such claim or proceeding if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, nor shall the Company be liable for any Damages to the extent that they arise out of or are based upon actions or omissions made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by or on behalf of any such Holder, underwriter, controlling Person, or other aforementioned Person expressly for use in connection with such registration.

 

(b) To the fullest extent permitted by law, each Holder of Registrable Securities, severally and not jointly, will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, and each of its Affiliates, directors, each of its officers who has signed the registration statement, each Person (if any), who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, legal counsel and accountants for the Company, any underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act), against any Damages, in each case only to the extent that such Damages arise out of or are based upon actions or omissions made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by or on behalf of such Holder expressly for use in connection with such registration; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 2.8(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such claim or proceeding if such settlement is effected without the consent of the majority in interest of the Holders, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; and provided further that in no event shall the aggregate amounts payable by any Holder by way of indemnity or contribution under Sections 2.8(b) and 2.8(d) exceed the proceeds from the offering received by such Holder (net of any Selling Expenses paid or incurred by such Holder), except in the case of fraud or willful misconduct by such Holder; provided, further, that a Holder shall not be liable in any case to the extent that prior to the filing of any such registration statement or Disclosure Package, or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, such Holder has furnished in writing to the Company, information expressly for use in, and within a reasonable period of time prior to the effectiveness of such registration statement or Disclosure Package, or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto which corrected or made not misleading information previously provided to the Company.

 

(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 2.8 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action) for which a party may be entitled to indemnification hereunder, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 2.8, give the indemnifying party notice of the commencement thereof. The indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in such action and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, participate jointly with any other indemnifying party to which notice has been given, and to assume the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the parties; provided, however, that an indemnified party (together with all other indemnified parties that may be represented without conflict by one counsel) shall have the right to retain one separate counsel, with the reasonable fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if representation of such indemnified party by the counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such indemnified party and any other party represented by such counsel in such action. The failure to give notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the indemnified party under this Section 2.8, to the extent that such failure materially prejudices the indemnifying party’s ability to defend such action. The failure to give notice to the indemnifying party will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise under this Section 2.8.

 

- 12 -

 

 

(d) To provide for just and equitable contribution to joint liability under the Securities Act in any case in which either: (i) any party otherwise entitled to indemnification hereunder makes a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Section 2.8 but it is judicially determined (by the entry of a final judgment or decree by a court of competent jurisdiction and the expiration of time to appeal or the denial of the last right of appeal) that such indemnification may not be enforced in such case, notwithstanding the fact that this Section 2.8 provides for indemnification in such case, or (ii) contribution under the Securities Act may be required on the part of any party hereto for which indemnification is provided under this Section 2.8, then, and in each such case, such parties will contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages, liabilities, or expenses to which they may be subject (after contribution from others) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of each of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party in connection with the statements, omissions, or other actions that resulted in such loss, claim, damage, liability, or expense, as well as to reflect any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or allegedly untrue statement of a material fact, or the omission or alleged omission of a material fact, relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information, and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission; provided, however, that, in any such case (x) no Holder will be required to contribute any amount in excess of the public offering price of all such Registrable Securities offered and sold by such Holder pursuant to such registration statement, and (y) no Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) will be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation; and provided further that in no event shall a Holder’s liability pursuant to this Section 2.8(d), when combined with the amounts paid or payable by such Holder pursuant to Section 2.8(b), exceed the proceeds from the offering received by such Holder (net of any Selling Expenses paid or incurred by such Holder), except in the case of willful misconduct or fraud by such Holder. For the avoidance of doubt, the amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the Damages (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above in this Section 2.8(d) shall be deemed to include any documented legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating, preparing or defending any such action or claim.

 

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the provisions on indemnification and contribution contained in the underwriting agreement entered into in connection with the underwritten public offering are in conflict with the foregoing provisions, the provisions in the underwriting agreement shall control; provided, however, that the foregoing provisions shall control as to any matter provided for or addressed therein that are not provided for or addressed in the underwriting agreement.

 

(f) Unless otherwise superseded by an underwriting agreement entered into in connection with the underwritten public offering, the obligations of the Company and Holders under this Section 2.8 shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in a registration under this Section 2, and otherwise shall survive the termination of this Agreement or any provisions hereof.

 

2.9 Reports Under Exchange Act. With a view to making available to the Holders the benefits of SEC Rule 144 and any other rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit a Holder to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration or pursuant to a registration on Form S-3, the Company shall:

 

(a) make and keep available adequate current public information, as those terms are understood and defined in SEC Rule 144, at all times;

 

(b) use commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act (at any time after the Company has become subject to such reporting requirements);

 

- 13 -

 

 

(c) furnish to any Holder, so long as the Holder owns any Registrable Securities, forthwith upon request (i) to the extent accurate, a written statement by the Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements of SEC Rule 144 (at any time after ninety (90) days after the date hereof), the Securities Act, and the Exchange Act (at any time after the Company has become subject to such reporting requirements), or that it qualifies as a registrant whose securities may be resold pursuant to Form S-3 (at any time after the Company so qualifies); and (ii) such other information as may be reasonably requested in availing any Holder of any rule or regulation of the SEC that permits the selling of any such securities without registration (at any time after the Company has become subject to the reporting requirements under the Exchange Act) or pursuant to Form S-3 (at any time after the Company so qualifies to use such form); and

 

(d) upon request of any Holder, upon receipt by the Company of an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company to the effect that any legend affixed to any Registrable Securities is no longer required under the Securities Act and applicable state laws, the Company shall promptly cause such legend to be removed from any certificate for any Registrable Securities, including by providing any opinion of counsel to the Company that may be required by the transfer agent to effect such removal.

 

2.10 Limitations on Subsequent Registration Rights. From and after the date of this Agreement until such time that the Company has filed the Shelf with the SEC and, with respect to clause (ii) below only, excluding any registration rights agreement entered into in connection with the offering of the Convertible Senior Notes, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities, enter into any agreement with any holder or prospective holder of any securities of the Company that would (i) other than pursuant to an “underwriter cutback” under an Other Registration Rights Agreement that is consistent with Section 2.3, allow such holder or prospective holder to include such securities in any registration unless, under the terms of such agreement, such holder or prospective holder may include such securities in any such registration only to the extent that the inclusion of such securities will not reduce the number of the Registrable Securities of the Holders that are included; or (ii) allow such holder or prospective holder to initiate a demand for registration of any securities held by such holder or prospective holder; provided that this limitation shall not apply to any additional Investor who becomes party to this Agreement.

 

2.11 Termination of Registration Rights. The right of any Holder to request registration or inclusion of Registrable Securities in any registration pursuant to Sections 2.1 or 2.2 or request distribution of Registrable Securities by means of an underwriting pursuant to Section 2.3 shall terminate upon the 5th anniversary of the date hereof.

 

2.12 Successor Indemnification. If the Company or any of its successors or assignees consolidates with or merges into any other Person and is not the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger, then to the extent necessary, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assignees of the Company assume the obligations of the Company with respect to indemnification of members of the Board of Directors as in effect immediately before such transaction, whether such obligations are contained in the Company’s operating documents, or elsewhere, as the case may be.

 

2.13 Most Favored Nations. To the extent that the Company, on or after the date hereof, grants any such superior or more favorable rights or terms relating to the subject matter of this Agreement to any Person (including Other Registration Rights Agreements) than those provided to the Holders as set forth herein, any such superior or more favorable rights or terms shall also be deemed to have been granted simultaneously to each Holder on the date of such grant and the Company shall amend this Agreement to reflect such superior or more favorable rights.

3.Miscellaneous.

 

3.1 Successors and Assigns.

For the purposes of determining the number of shares of Registrable Securities held by a transferee, the holdings of a transferee (1) that is an Affiliate or stockholder of a Holder; (2) who is a Holder’s Immediate Family Member; or (3) that is a trust for the benefit of an individual Holder or such Holder’s Immediate Family Member shall be aggregated together and with those of the transferring Holder; provided further that all transferees who would not qualify individually for assignment of rights shall have a single attorney-in-fact for the purpose of exercising any rights, receiving notices, or taking any action under this Agreement. The terms and conditions of this Agreement inure to the benefit of and are binding upon the respective successors and permitted assignees of the parties.

3.2 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by the internal law of the State of Delaware, without regard to conflict of law principles that would result in the application of any law other than the law of the State of Delaware.
