(iv) Costs and Expenses Allocation. The costs and expenses of the independent auditor’s review shall be allocated as follows: (1) If the independent auditor’s revised calculation results in an adjustment of 5% or more in favor of the disputing party, the non-disputing party shall bear the full cost. (2) If the adjustment is less than 5%, the parties shall share the cost equally.

 

(v) Suspension of Escrow Release Until Resolution. No release of TRX Exchange Shares of the applicable Performance Period from escrow shall occur until the dispute resolution process is completed, and the final revised calculation has been determined in accordance with this Section 3.04(e).

REGISTRATION RIGHTS PROVISIONS

 

REGISTRATION RIGHTS

 

The provisions set forth in this Appendix A are made part of the Agreement.

 

1. Definitions

 

1.1 “Registrable Securities” shall mean the TRX Exchange Shares issued to the Sellers pursuant to the Agreement and released from escrow in accordance with the Escrow Agreement and Earn-out Shares issued to Earn-out Parties pursuant to the Agreement, excluding any such securities that have been sold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act"); have been sold under Rule 144 under the Securities Act; are eligible for resale under Rule 144 without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions and without the requirement for TRX to be current in its SEC filings; or have been otherwise transferred and no longer require registration under the Securities Act.

 

1.2 “Holders” shall mean the Sellers who hold Registrable Securities.

 

1.3 “Permitted Transferee” shall mean any person or entity to whom a Holder transfers Registrable Securities in compliance with the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, provided that such transferee:

 

(a) is an affiliate, member, partner, shareholder, or beneficiary of the Holder, including any entity controlled by, controlling, or under common control with the Holder;

 

(b) is a family member of the Holder if the Holder is an individual, including a spouse, child, parent, sibling, or trust established for the benefit of such family members;

 

(c) acquires the Registrable Securities in a private transaction that does not involve a public resale and agrees in writing to be bound by the terms of this Exhibit, including the restrictions on transfer and resale;

 

(d) is an institutional investor, investment fund, or private equity firm that customarily invests in securities of similar nature and agrees to the terms of this Exhibit A; or

 

(e) does not acquire the Registrable Securities in a transaction that would require TRX to file a new registration statement under the Securities Act solely as a result of the transfer.

 

1.4 Any transferee that does not meet the definition of a Permitted Transferee shall not be entitled to the registration rights granted under this Exhibit unless otherwise agreed to in writing by TRX.

 

2. Demand Registration Rights

 

2.1 Right to Demand Registration. Holders of a majority of the then-outstanding TRX Exchange Shares may request in writing that TRX file a registration statement covering the resale of Registrable Securities (a “Demand Registration”) when new TRX Exchange Shares are released from escrow.

 

2.2 TRX shall, within five (5) business days of receiving such a request, provide written notice to all other Holders of TRX Exchange Shares, informing them of the Demand Registration request and offering them the opportunity to participate. Each Holder shall have ten (10) business days from the date of such notice to notify TRX in writing if they wish to include their Registrable Securities in the Demand Registration.

 

Schedules, Exhibits and Appendix of Share Exchange Agreement

 

 

 

  

2.3 TRX shall file the registration statement covering the Registrable Securities within 30 days following the expiration of the Holder response period and shall procure it to become effective as soon as practicable.

 

2.4 The right to Demand Registration may only be exercised up to four(4) times, each corresponding to the release of new TRX Exchange Shares from escrow. The right to Demand Registration shall expire six (6) months after the final release of TRX Exchange Shares pursuant to the Agreement and the Escrow Agreement.

 

3. Piggyback Registration Rights

 

3.1 If TRX proposes to file a registration statement (other than on Form S-8 or S-4) for its own account or for the account of another security holder, it shall notify all Holders at least 10 business days before filing.

 

3.2 Upon request, TRX shall include the Registrable Securities in such registration, subject to the underwriter cut-back provisions set forth in Section 3.3.

 

3.3 If a Piggyback Registration involves an underwritten offering, and the managing underwriter advises TRX in writing that, in its good faith opinion, the total number of securities requested to be included in such offering exceeds the number that can be sold in such offering without materially and adversely affecting the offering price, the securities to be included shall be allocated in the following order of priority:

 

(a) First, the securities TRX proposes to sell for its own account;

 

(b) Second, the Registrable Securities requested to be included by the Holders, allocated pro rata among the participating Holders based on the total number of Registrable Securities held by each such Holder; and

 

(c) Third, any securities requested to be included by other holders with registration rights, allocated as required by such registration rights agreements or, if no such provisions exist, on a pro rata basis.

 

3.4 If any Holder does not receive full inclusion of its Registrable Securities due to the underwriter cut-back, TRX shall use commercially reasonable efforts to include the excluded shares in a subsequent registration statement as soon as reasonably practicable.

 

4. Suspension of Registration

 

4.1 TRX may suspend the use of the registration statement for up to 60 days in any 12-month period if it determines in good faith that disclosure of material non-public information would be required or that the offering would interfere with a material corporate transaction.

 

4.2 TRX must promptly notify the Holders of any such suspension and extend the registration period accordingly.

 

5. Transferability of Rights

 

5.1 The registration rights shall be transferable to any Permitted Transferee, provided that the transferee agrees in writing to be bound by the terms of this Exhibit A.
