ARTICLE II 

 

REGISTRATION RIGHTS 

 

Section 2.01 Mandatory Registration. No later than June 30, 2018 (such date,
except as noted in the first proviso below, the “Mandatory Shelf Filing Date”),
the Company shall prepare and use its commercially reasonable efforts to file a
registration statement with the Commission on Form S-3 under the Securities Act
providing for registration and resale, on a continuous or delayed basis and from
time to time pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act, of all of the
Registrable Securities then outstanding; provided, however, that if the Company
is not eligible to file and use a Form S-3 to register resales by the Purchasers
of Registrable Securities by the Mandatory Shelf Filing Date it shall prepare
and use its commercially reasonable efforts to file such form of registration
statement as is then available to permit resales by the Purchasers of
Registrable Securities on a continuous or delayed basis (including a Form S-1)
and in such cases the Mandatory Shelf Filing Date shall be deemed to be July 15,
2018; provided, further, that if the Company has filed the registration
statement on a form other than Form S-3 and subsequently becomes eligible to use
Form S-3 or any equivalent or successor form or forms, the Company may elect, in
its sole discretion, to (i) file a post-effective amendment to the registration
statement converting such registration statement to a registration statement on
Form S-3 or any equivalent or successor form or forms or (ii) withdraw such
registration statement and file a registration statement on Form S-3 or any
equivalent or successor form or forms, (the registration statement on such form,
as amended or supplemented, the “Registration Statement”). The Company shall use
its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Registration Statement to be
declared effective under the Securities Act by the Commission as soon as
reasonably practicable after the Mandatory Shelf Filing Date. The Company shall
use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Registration Statement
continuously effective under the Securities Act until the earlier of (A) the
date when all of the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration
Statement have been sold, and (B) the date on which all of the Purchased Shares
cease to be Registrable Securities hereunder (such period, the “Effectiveness
Period”). The Registration Statement when effective (including the documents
incorporated therein by reference) will comply as to form in all material
respects with all applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange
Act and will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state
a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading (in the case of any prospectus contained in
such Registration Statement, in the light of the circumstances under which a
statement is made). As soon as practicable following the date that the
Registration Statement becomes effective, but in any event within two (2)
Business Days of such date, the Company shall provide the Holders with written
notice of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement.

 

3

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

 

Section 2.02 Failure to File or Become Effective; Liquidated Damages. If the
Company has not filed the Registration Statement with the Commission on or prior
to the applicable Mandatory Shelf Filing Date, then each Holder shall be
entitled to a payment (with respect to each Registrable Security held by the
Holder), as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, in an amount equal to 0.25%
of the Liquidated Damages Multiplier of such Holder for the first 30-day period
and (ii) an additional 0.25% of the Liquidated Damages Multiplier of such Holder
with respect to each subsequent 30-day period, up to a maximum amount of 1% of
the Liquidated Damages Multiplier of such Holder (the “Liquidated Damages”),
which shall accrue daily until such date that the Company has filed the
Registration Statement with the Commission. To the extent that during any 30-day
period a Holder is no longer entitled to receive Liquidated Damages, the Company
shall only be required to pay the Liquidated Damages that have accrued to such
date.

 

(b) If the Registration Statement is not declared effective by the Commission on
or before the earlier of (i) if the Registration Statement is subject to review
by the Commission, ninety (90) days following the date on which the Company has
filed the Registration Statement with the Commission, and (ii) if the
Registration Statement is not subject to review by the Commission, ten (10) days
following the date of receipt of such notice from the Commission (such earlier
date, the “Effectiveness Deadline”), then each Holder shall be entitled to a
payment (with respect to each Registrable Security held by the Holder), as
liquidated damages and not as a penalty, of Liquidated Damages of such Holder,
which shall accrue daily until such date that the Registration Statement is
declared effective by the Commission.

 

(c) The Liquidated Damages shall be paid to each Holder in cash within ten (10)
Business Days following the last day of 30-day period that the Holders are
entitled to such Liquidated Damages. Any payments made pursuant to this Section
2.02 shall constitute the Holders’ exclusive remedy for such events. Any
Liquidated Damages due under this Section 2.02 shall be paid to the Holders in
immediately available funds. The obligation to pay the Liquidated Damages to a
Holder pursuant to this Section 2.02 shall cease at such time as the Registrable
Securities become eligible for resale by such Holder under Rule 144 of the
Securities Act without regard to any volume or manner of sale restrictions.

 

Section 2.03 Blackout and Delay Rights. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein:

 

(a) the Company shall not be required to (i) file a Registration Statement (or
any amendment thereto) or, (ii) if a Registration Statement has been filed but
not declared effective by the Commission, request effectiveness of such
Registration Statement, for a period of up to 60 days, if the Company in its
sole discretion determines (A) in good faith that a postponement is in the best
interest of the Company and its stockholders generally due to a pending
transaction involving the Company (including a pending securities offering by
the Company, or any proposed financing, acquisition, merger, tender offer,
business combination, corporate reorganization, consolidation or other
significant transaction involving the Company), (B) such registration would
render the Company unable to comply with applicable securities laws, (C) such
registration would require disclosure of material information that the Company
has a bona fide business purpose for preserving as confidential, or (D) audited
financial statements as of a date other than the fiscal year end of the Company
would be required to be prepared; provided, however, that in no event shall any
such period exceed an aggregate of 90 days in any 365-day period; and

 

4

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

 

(b) the Company may, upon written notice to any Selling Holder whose Registrable
Securities are included in the Registration Statement or other registration
statement contemplated by this Agreement, suspend such Selling Holder’s use of
any prospectus which is a part of the Registration Statement or other
registration statement (in which event the Selling Holder shall discontinue
sales of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement or
other registration statement contemplated by this Agreement but may settle any
previously made sales of Registrable Securities) if (i) the Company determines
that it would be required to make disclosure of material information in the
Registration Statement that the Company has a bona fide business purpose for
preserving as confidential, (ii) the Company has experienced some other material
non-public event the disclosure of which at such time, in the good faith
judgment of the Company, would adversely affect the Company or (iii) the Company
determines that it is required to amend or supplement the affected Registration
Statement or the related prospectus so that such Registration Statement or
prospectus does not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to
state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein, in the case of the prospectus in light of the circumstances
under which they were made, not misleading (an “Allowed Delay”); provided,
however, in no event shall the Selling Holders be suspended from selling
Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement or other
registration statement for a period that exceeds an aggregate of 60 days in any
180-day period or 105 days in any 365-day period. Upon disclosure of such
information or the termination of the condition described above, the Company
shall provide prompt notice to the Selling Holders whose Registrable Securities
are included in the Registration Statement, and shall promptly terminate any
suspension of sales it has put into effect and shall take such other reasonable
actions to permit registered sales of Registrable Securities as contemplated in
this Agreement.

 

Section 2.04 Sale Procedures. In connection with its obligations under this
Article II, the Company will, as expeditiously as possible:

 

(a) prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and supplements to the
Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be
necessary to keep the Registration Statement effective for the Effectiveness
Period and as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities
Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities covered by the
Registration Statement;

 

(b) make available to each Selling Holder (i) as far in advance as reasonably
practicable before filing the Registration Statement or any other registration
statement contemplated by this Agreement or any supplement or amendment thereto,
upon request, copies of reasonably complete drafts of all such documents
proposed to be filed (including exhibits but excluding each document
incorporated by reference), and provide each such Selling Holder the opportunity
to reasonably object to any information pertaining to such Selling Holder and
its plan of distribution that is contained therein and make the corrections
reasonably requested by such Selling Holder with respect to such information
prior to filing the Registration Statement or such other registration statement
or supplement or amendment thereto, and (ii) such number of copies of the
Registration Statement or such other registration statement and the prospectus
included therein and any supplements and amendments thereto as such Selling
Holder may reasonably request in order to facilitate the public sale or other
disposition of the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement
or other registration statement;

 

5

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

 

(c) if applicable, use its commercially reasonable efforts to register or
qualify the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement or any
other registration statement contemplated by this Agreement under the securities
or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as the Selling Holders shall reasonably
request in writing by the time the Registration Statement is declared effective
by the Commission; provided, however, that the Company will not be required to
qualify generally to transact business in any jurisdiction where it is not then
required to so qualify, take any action that would subject itself to general
taxation in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be so subject or to
take any action that would subject it to general service of process in any such
jurisdiction where it is not then so subject;

 

(d) promptly notify each Selling Holder, at any time when a prospectus relating
thereto is required to be delivered by any of them under the Securities Act in
connection with a resale of Registrable Securities, of (i) the filing of the
Registration Statement or any other registration statement contemplated by this
Agreement or any prospectus or prospectus supplement to be used in connection
therewith, or any amendment or supplement thereto, and, with respect to such
Registration Statement or any other registration statement or any post-effective
amendment thereto, when the same has become effective; and (ii) the receipt of
any written or verbal comments from the Commission with respect to any filing
referred to in clause (i) and any written request by the Commission for
amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or any other
registration statement or any prospectus or prospectus supplement thereto;

 

(e) immediately notify each Selling Holder, at any time when a prospectus
relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of (i)
the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus or prospectus
supplement contained in the Registration Statement or any other registration
statement contemplated by this Agreement, as then in effect, includes 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
the case of any prospectus contained therein, in the light of the circumstances
under which a statement is made); (ii) the issuance or express threat of
issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the
Registration Statement or any other registration statement contemplated by this
Agreement, or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose; or (iii) the
receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the
qualification of any Registrable Securities for sale under the applicable
securities or blue sky laws of any jurisdiction. Following the provision of such
notice, the Company agrees to as promptly as practicable amend or supplement the
prospectus or prospectus supplement or take other appropriate action so that the
prospectus or prospectus supplement does not include an untrue statement of a
material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the
circumstances then existing and to take such other commercially reasonable
action as is necessary to remove a stop order, suspension, threat thereof or
proceedings related thereto;

 

(f) upon request and subject to appropriate confidentiality obligations, furnish
to each Selling Holder copies of any and all transmittal letters or other
correspondence with the Commission or any other governmental agency or
self-regulatory body or other body having jurisdiction (including any domestic
or foreign securities exchange) relating to the Registration Statement;

 

6

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

 

(g) otherwise use its commercially reasonable efforts to comply with all
applicable rules and regulations of the Commission, and make available to its
security holders, as soon as reasonably practicable, an earnings statement,
which earnings statement shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the
Securities Act and Rule 158 promulgated thereunder;

 

(h) cause all such Registrable Securities registered pursuant to this Agreement
to be listed on each securities exchange or nationally recognized quotation
system on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed;

 

(i) use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the 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 to enable the Selling Holders to consummate the disposition of such
Registrable Securities;

 

(j) provide a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable Securities
covered by such registration statement not later than the effective date of such
registration statement;

 

(k) if requested by a Selling Holder, (i) incorporate in a prospectus supplement
or post-effective amendment such information as such Selling Holder reasonably
requests to be included therein relating to the sale and distribution of
Registrable Securities, including information with respect to the number of
Registrable Securities being offered or sold, the purchase price being paid
therefor, information regarding the underwriters, and any other terms of the
offering of the Registrable Securities to be sold in such offering and (ii) make
all required filings of such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment
after being notified of the matters to be incorporated in such prospectus
supplement or post-effective amendment; and

 

(l) if requested by a Selling Holder, enter into a customary underwriting
agreement relating to the sale and distribution of Registerable Securities.

 

The Company will not name a Holder as an underwriter as defined in Section
2(a)(11) of the Securities Act in any Registration Statement without such
Holder’s consent. If the staff of the Commission requires the Company to name
any Holder as an underwriter as defined in Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities
Act, and such Holder does not consent thereto, then such Holder’s Registrable
Securities shall not be included on the Registration Statement and the Company
shall have no further obligations hereunder with respect to Registrable
Securities held by such Holder or be required to pay any Liquidated Damages to
the Holder.

 

Each Selling Holder, upon receipt of notice from the Company of the happening of
any event of the kind described in subsection (e) of this Section 2.04 or the
exercise of its rights pursuant to Section 2.03, shall forthwith discontinue
offers and sales of the Registrable Securities by means of a prospectus or
prospectus supplement until such Selling Holder’s receipt of the copies of the
supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by subsection (e) of this
Section 2.04 or until it is advised in writing by the Company that the use of
the prospectus may be resumed and has received copies of any additional or
supplemental filings incorporated by reference in the prospectus, and, if so
directed by the Company, such Selling Holder will deliver to the Company (at the
Company’s expense) all copies in their possession or control, other than
permanent file copies then in such Selling Holder’s possession, of the
prospectus covering such Registrable Securities current at the time of receipt
of such notice.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(a) Each Purchaser shall furnish in writing to the Company such information
regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it and the intended method
of disposition of the Registrable Securities held by it, as shall be reasonably

Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement.

 

(b) Each Purchaser, by its acceptance of the Registrable Securities, agrees to
cooperate with the Company as reasonably requested by the Company in connection
with the preparation and filing of a Registration Statement hereunder, unless
such Purchaser has notified the Company in writing of its election to exclude
all of its Registrable Securities from such Registration Statement.

Section 2.07 Indemnification. Indemnification by the Company. In the event of
any registration of any securities of the Company under the Securities Act
pursuant to this Agreement, the Company will, and hereby does, indemnify and
hold harmless the seller of any Registrable Securities covered by such
registration statement, its directors and officers, each other Person who
participates in the offering or sale of such securities and each other Person,
if any, who controls such seller, within the meaning of the Securities Act,
against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which
such seller or any such director or officer or controlling person may become
subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims,
damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or
threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any
registration statement under which such securities were registered under the
Securities Act, any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus or summary
prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereto (in all
cases, including documents incorporated by reference), or any omission or
alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein
or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and the Company will
reimburse such seller and each such director, officer, and controlling person
for any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection
with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, liability, action or
proceeding; provided that the Company shall not be liable in any such case to
the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability (or action or proceeding
in respect thereof) or expense arises out of or is based upon an untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in
such registration statement, any such preliminary prospectus, final prospectus,
summary prospectus, amendment or supplement in reliance upon and in conformity
with information regarding such seller furnished by such seller (or any
representative of such seller) to the Company in writing or electronically
specifically stating that it is for use in the preparation thereof. Such
indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation
made by or on behalf of such seller or any such director, officer or controlling
person and shall survive the transfer of such securities by such seller.

 

(b) Indemnification by the Sellers. The Company may require, as a condition to
including any Registrable Securities in any registration statement filed
pursuant to Section 2.01 above, that the Company shall have received an
undertaking satisfactory to it from the prospective seller of such securities,
to indemnify and hold harmless (in the same manner and to the same extent as set
forth in Section 2.07(a) above) the Company, each director of the Company, each
officer of the Company and each other Person, if any, who controls the Company
within the meaning of the Securities Act, with respect to any statement or
alleged statement in or omission or alleged omission from such registration
statement, any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus or summary prospectus
contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereto, if such statement or
alleged statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and
in conformity with information regarding such seller furnished by such seller
(or any representative of such seller) to the Company in writing or
electronically specifically stating that it is for use in the preparation of
such registration statement, preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, summary
prospectus, amendment or supplement. The maximum liability of each seller for
any such indemnification shall not exceed the amount of proceeds received by
such seller from the sale of his/its Registrable Securities. Such indemnity
shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by
or on behalf of the Company or any such director, officer or controlling Person
and shall survive the transfer of such securities by such seller.

 

(c) Notices of Claims, etc. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party of
notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding involving a claim
referred to in Section 2.07(a) or (b) above, such indemnified party will, if a
claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party, give
written notice to the latter of the commencement of such action; provided that
the failure of any indemnified party to give notice as provided herein shall not
relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations under Section 2.07(a) or (b)
above, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is actually prejudiced
by such failure to give notice. In case any such action is brought against an
indemnified party, unless in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a
conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist
in respect of such claim, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to
participate in and to assume the defense thereof, jointly with any other
indemnifying party similarly notified to the extent that it may wish, with
counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party, and after notice from
the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume
the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such
indemnified party for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the
latter in connection with the defense thereof. No indemnifying party shall,
without the consent of the indemnified party, consent to entry of any judgment
or enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional term
thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a
