THIS CERTIFIES THAT, FOR VALUE RECEIVED AS OF DECEMBER 26, 2014,                      or its registered assign(s) (the “Holder”) is entitled to purchase from General Moly, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Warrant (this “Warrant”), up to                  (          ) duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of common stock (“Common Stock”), of the Company, at any time commencing on June 26, 2015 (the “Commencement Date”) and expiring at 5:00 p.m., Denver, Colorado time, on December 26, 2019 (the “Expiration Time”). The price for each share of Common Stock purchased hereunder (as may be adjusted as set forth herein, collectively the “Warrant Shares”) is One Dollar ($1.00) per share until expiration of this Warrant (as adjusted as set forth herein, the “Purchase Price”).

 

This Warrant is one of a series of warrants issued pursuant to the terms of the Subscription Agreement, dated as of December 22, 2014, by and among the Company, Holder and certain other purchasers identified therein (the “Subscription Agreement”).  Capitalized terms used and not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Subscription Agreement.

 

The Holder agrees with the Company that this Warrant is issued, and all the rights hereunder shall be held, subject to all of the conditions, limitations and provisions set forth herein.

 

1.                                      EXERCISE OF WARRANT.

 

A.                                    MANNER OF EXERCISE. This Warrant may be exercised in whole at any time, or in part from time to time, during the period commencing on the Commencement Date 

 

 

and expiring on the Expiration Time or, if any such day is a Saturday, Sunday or any other day on which The Federal Reserve Bank of New York is authorized or required by law or executive order to close or be closed, then on the next succeeding day that shall not be such a day by presentation and surrender of this Warrant to the Company at its principal office with the Purchase Form attached as Annex I (the “Purchase Form”) duly executed and accompanied by payment (either in cash, by wire transfer or by certified or official bank check, payable to the order of the Company) of the Purchase Price for the number of shares specified in the Purchase Form and instruments of transfer, if appropriate, duly executed by the Holder or its duly authorized attorney.

 

B.                                    STATUS AS HOLDER OF WARRANT SHARES; TAXES; EXPIRATION. Upon receipt by the Company of this Warrant, the duly executed Purchase Form and any other appropriate instruments of transfer, together with the Exercise Price, at its office, the Holder shall be deemed to be the holder of record of the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise, notwithstanding that the stock transfer books of the Company shall then be closed or that certificates representing such Warrant Shares shall not then be actually delivered to the Holder. The Company shall pay any and all documentary stamp or similar issue taxes payable in respect of the issue or delivery of Warrant Shares. This Warrant shall become void, and all rights hereunder shall cease, at the Expiration Time. The Company in its sole discretion may extend the duration of this Warrant by delaying the Expiration Time.

 

C.                                    ISSUANCE OF CERTIFICATES. As soon as practicable after the exercise of all or any portion of this Warrant, and in any event within 15 days, the Company shall (i) issue to the Holder a certificate or certificates (as requested by the Holder) for the number of full Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled, or, at the Holder’s request, deliver such Warrant Shares electronically if such means is otherwise presently available to and utilized by the Company, registered in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder, and (ii) if this Warrant has not been exercised in full, issue to the Holder a new countersigned warrant in substantially the same form for the Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant shall not have been exercised.

 

2.                                      RESERVATION OF SHARES; AUTHORITY. The Company will at all times reserve for issuance and delivery upon exercise of this Warrant all Warrant Shares or other shares of capital stock of the Company (and other securities and property) from time to time receivable upon exercise of this Warrant. All such shares (and other securities and property) are duly authorized and, when issued upon such exercise, shall be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free of all preemptive rights, taxes liens or charges.  Neither the issuance of this Warrant nor the issuance of Warrant Shares on a full or partial exercise of this Warrant (i) is subject to or requires approval of the shareholders of the Company, including any requirement for such approval under the rules of any securities exchange on which the shares of the Company are listed, (ii) is subject to any approval or consent by a governmental authority or regulatory agency, or (iii) violates any agreement to which the Company is a party or by which the Company is bound.  The Company shall cause the Warrant Shares to be listed on such securities exchange upon which shares of Common Stock of the Company are listed at the time of any exercise.

 

3.                                      NO FRACTIONAL SHARES. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. If the holder of this Warrant would be

 

2

 

entitled, upon the exercise of this Warrant, to receive a fractional interest in a share, the Company shall, upon such exercise, purchase such fractional interest, on the basis of the Closing Price on the Business Day before the Purchase Form and this Warrant are duly surrendered to the Company for a full or partial exercise hereof.

 

4.                                      STOCK DIVIDENDS; SPLIT-UPS. If after the issuance of this Warrant, the Company shall (i) pay a dividend or make any other distribution payable in shares of Common Stock, options or convertible securities or (ii) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares by a split-up of shares, recapitalization or other similar event, then, on the effective day thereof, the number of Warrant Shares shall be proportionally increased and the then applicable Purchase Price shall be correspondingly decreased.

 

5.                                      AGGREGATION OF SHARES. If after the date hereof the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is decreased by a consolidation, combination, reverse stock split, or reclassification of shares of Common Stock or other similar event, then, after the effective date of such consolidation, combination or reclassification, the number of Warrant Shares shall be decreased in proportion to such decrease in outstanding shares and the then applicable Purchase Price shall be correspondingly increased.

 

6.                                      REORGANIZATION, ETC. If after the date hereof there is a capital reorganization (other than a stock dividend or split up as covered by Section 4 or an aggregation of shares as covered by Section 5), reclassification of the Common Stock, consolidation or merger of the Company with another corporation or entity, sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets or similar transaction in which the holders of the Company’s Common Stock are entitled to receive stock, securities or assets with respect to or in exchange for Common Stock (each such event, a “Fundamental Change”), this Warrant shall, immediately after the Fundamental Change, remain outstanding and shall thereafter (unless Holder elects otherwise), in lieu of or in addition to (as the case may be) the number of Warrant Shares then subject to this Warrant, be exercisable for the kind and number of shares of stock or other securities or assets to which the Holder would have been entitled if the Holder had exercised this Warrant in full immediately prior to such Fundamental Change In the event that the stock, securities or assets being issued with respect to or in exchange for Common Stock are being issued by a person or entity other than the Company, the Company shall, as a condition to such Fundamental Change, obtain the agreement of the other person or entity to be bound by the terms of this Warrant and provide Holder an Event Notice of the Fundamental Change in accordance with the requirements of Section 15 below.

 

7.                                      FORM OF WARRANT. This Warrant need not be changed because of any adjustment pursuant to the terms herein, and any form of warrant issued after such adjustment may state the same Purchase Price and the same number of shares as is stated in this Warrant.  However, the Company may at any time in its reasonable discretion make any change in the form of this Warrant that the Company may deem appropriate and that does not affect the substance thereof or adversely affect the rights of Holder hereunder, and any warrant thereafter issued, whether in exchange or substitution for this Warrant or otherwise, may be in the form as so changed. The Company agrees to promptly notify the Holder of any adjustment to the number of shares, securities or other assets subject to this Warrant or the Purchase Price of the Warrant, any changes to the form of this Warrant or any other change pursuant to the terms herein and to

 

3

 

provide Holder with a statement of such changes at the request of the Holder.  Each such notification or statement shall be accompanied by a certificate of an executive officer of the Company setting forth in reasonable detail such adjustment(s) and the facts upon which it is based and certifying the calculation thereof.

 

8.                                      SECURITIES ACT REPRESENTATIONS.

 

A.                                    Holder represents and warrants that this Warrant is being acquired for its own account and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, any distribution thereof or in violation of the 1933 Act or any other securities laws that may be applicable.

 

B.                                    Holder acknowledges that no oral or written statements or representations have been made to Holder by or on behalf of the Company in connection with the issuance of this Warrant other than those set forth herein, in the Subscription Agreement and in any documents executed in connection with this Warrant or the Subscription Agreement.

 

C.                                    Holder is (i) an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a) under the 1933 Act or (ii) an “institutional buyer” as defined in Rule 144A under the 1933 Act.

 

D.                                    Holder, either alone or with the assistance of its professional advisors, is a sophisticated investor and has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the transactions contemplated by this Warrant.

 

9.                                      REGISTRATION RIGHTS.  The Warrant Shares shall be entitled to the rights set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement of even date herewith by and between Holder, the Company and the other parties identified therein, subject to the terms and conditions thereof.

 

10.                               TRANSFER OF WARRANTS. Holder understands and agrees that this Warrant and the Warrant Shares have not been registered under the 1933 Act or similar state laws. This Warrant and/or Warrant Shares cannot be sold or transferred unless (i) such transfer is so registered or (ii) an exemption from registration is available at the time of transfer and, if requested by the Company, an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company to the effect that such registration is not required is delivered to the Company. Subject to the foregoing limitations, the Company shall register the transfer, from time to time, of this Warrant upon the Company’s warrant register, upon surrender of this Warrant for transfer, accompanied by a duly executed Assignment Form in the form attached as Annex II, with signatures properly guaranteed as indicated. Upon any such transfer, a new warrant or warrants representing the aggregate number of this Warrant shall be issued and this Warrant shall be cancelled by the Company.

 

A restrictive legend shall be placed upon each share certificate acquired upon exercise of this Warrant in substantially the following form:

 

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AMENDED (THE “1933 ACT”), OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THESE

 

4

 

SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF (I) SUCH REGISTRATION OR (II) AN EXEMPTION THEREFROM AND, IF REQUESTED BY THE COMPANY, AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY  TO THE COMPANY TO THE EFFECT THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.

 

The foregoing legend will be removed from the certificates representing any Warrant Shares, at the request of the holder thereof, at such time as they become the subject of an effective resale registration statement or they become eligible for resale without regard to the volume limitations or other limitations on manner of sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the 1933 Act.

 

11.                               NO RIGHTS AS STOCKHOLDERS. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, prior to the exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the terms hereof and payment of the full exercise price therefor, the Holder will not be entitled to any rights by virtue hereof as a stockholder of the Company, including, without limitation, the right to vote or to receive dividends or other distributions, to exercise any preemptive rights, to consent or to receive notice as stockholders of the Company in respect to the meetings of stockholders or the election of directors of the Company or any other matter.

 

12.                               LOST, STOLEN, MUTILATED OR DESTROYED WARRANTS. If this Warrant is lost, stolen, mutilated, or destroyed, the Company may on such terms as to indemnity or otherwise as it may in its discretion impose (it being understood that a written indemnification agreement or affidavit of loss from the Holder shall be a sufficient indemnity), issue a new warrant of like denomination, tenor, and date. Notwithstanding the forgoing, no indemnification shall be required if a mutilated Warrant is surrendered to the Company for cancellation.  Any such new warrant shall constitute a substitute contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the allegedly lost, stolen, mutilated, or destroyed Warrant shall be at any time enforceable by anyone.

 

13.                               NO IMPAIRMENT.  The Company shall not, by amendment to its certificate of incorporation or bylaws, or through any reorganization, recapitalization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed by it under the terms of this Warrant, but shall at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of the provisions of this Warrant and the taking of all such action as may be reasonable requested by the Holder in order to protect the exercise rights of Holder against dilution of other impairment, consistent with the tenor and purpose of this Warrant.

 

14.                               GOVERNING LAW. This Warrant shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without giving effect to conflicts of laws principles that would require the application of the law of another jurisdiction.

 

5

 

15.                               NOTICES OF CERTAIN ACTIONS. In the event:

 

(a)                                 the Company sets a record date with respect to the holders of Common Stock for the purpose of entitling or enabling them to receive any dividend or other distribution, or to receive any right to subscribe for or purchase any shares of stock of any class or any other securities, or to receive any other right;

 

(b)                                 the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is increased by a stock dividend payable in shares of Common Stock or by a split-up of shares of Common Stock or other similar event;

 

(c)                                  the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is decreased by a consolidation, combination, reverse stock split, or reclassification of shares of Common Stock or other similar event;

 

(d)                                 of any Fundamental Change; or

 

(e)                                  of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Company;

 

then, and in each such case, the Company will provide written notice (an “Event Notice”) to the Holder at least fifteen (15) days prior to (i) the record date in the case of (a), (b) or (c) above, specifying the record date and the amount and character of such dividend, distribution or right, and (ii) the effective date of any event specified in clause (d) or (e) above, specifying the effective date on which such event is to take place, and the time, if any is to be fixed, as of which the holders of record of Common Stock will be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such event, if applicable. Any failure to mail an Event Notice required by this Section 15 or any defect therein or in the mailing thereof will not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such Event Notice. Nothing herein shall prohibit the Holder from exercising this Warrant during the fifteen day period commencing on the date of an Event Notice, provided that such exercise occurs prior to the Expiration Time and the Holder otherwise complies with the terms hereof.

 

16.                               MISCELLANEOUS.

 

A.                                    DELIVERY OF NOTICE. Notices and other communications to be given to Holder shall be deemed to have been sufficiently given, if delivered or mailed, addressed in the name and at the address of Holder appearing on the records of the Company, and if mailed, sent registered or certified mail, postage prepaid.

6

 

understanding between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior oral or written agreements and understandings relating to the subject matter hereof. No statement, representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of any kind not expressly set forth in this Warrant, the Subscription Agreement or any other document executed in connection with this Warrant or the Subscription Agreement shall affect, or be used to interpret, change or restrict, the express terms and provisions of this Warrant.

 

C.                                    RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS SURVIVE EXERCISE OF WARRANT. Unless otherwise provided herein, the rights and obligations of the Company and Holder shall survive the exercise of this Warrant.

 

D.                                    EQUITABLE RELIEF.  The Company and the Holder acknowledge that a breach or threatened breach of any of the obligations under this Warrant would give rise to irreparable harm to the other party for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy and hereby agree that in the event of a breach or threatened breach, the aggrieved party shall have the right, in addition to all other rights and remedies, to equitable relief, including a restraining order, injunction, specific performance or any other relief that may be available to the aggrieved party.

 

E.                                     SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS.  This Warrant and the rights evidenced hereby shall be binding on, and inure to the benefit of, the successors and assigns of the parties.

G.                                    COUNTERPARTS. This Warrant may be executed in counterparts and via facsimile or other similar electronic transmission, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

(a)                                 On or prior to 90 days after the Closing Date and each Filing Date thereafter, the Company shall prepare and file with the SEC a Registration Statement covering the resale of all or such maximum portion of the Registrable Securities as permitted by SEC Guidance (provided, that the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the registration of all of the Registrable Securities in accordance with the SEC Guidance, including without limitation, Compliance and Disclosure Interpretation 612.09) that are not then registered on an effective Registration Statement for an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415.  Each Registration Statement filed hereunder shall be on the appropriate form under the 1933 Act and shall contain (unless otherwise directed by at least a majority in interest of the Holders) substantially the “Plan of Distribution” attached hereto as Annex A (which may be modified to respond to comments, if any, provided by the SEC).  Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause a Registration Statement filed hereunder to be declared effective under the 1933 Act as promptly as reasonably practicable after the filing thereof, but in any event prior to the applicable Effectiveness Date, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to keep such Registration Statement current and continuously effective under the 1933 Act until such date as all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement (i) have been sold, thereunder or pursuant to Rule 144, or (ii) in the opinion of counsel to the Holders, (A) may be sold without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions pursuant to Rule 144 and (B) (I) may be sold without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information requirement under Rule 144 or (II) the Company is in compliance with the current public information requirement under Rule 144 (the “Effectiveness Period”).  Such Registration Statement (including any amendments or supplements thereto and prospectuses contained therein), except for information provided by a Holder or any transferee of a Holder, shall not contain any 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.  The Company shall immediately notify the Holders via facsimile or by e-mail of the effectiveness of a Registration Statement on the same Trading Day that the Company telephonically confirms effectiveness with the SEC, which shall be the date requested for effectiveness of such Registration Statement.  The Company shall, within the filing deadlines established by the SEC after the effective date of such Registration Statement, file a final Prospectus with the SEC as required by Rule 424.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any SEC Guidance sets forth a limitation on the number of Registrable Securities permitted

 

4

 

to be registered on a particular Registration Statement (and notwithstanding that the Company used its reasonable best efforts to obtain the registration of all or a greater portion of Registrable Securities), the number of Registrable Securities to be registered on such Registration Statement shall be reduced pro rata among all Holders and each Holder shall have the right to designate which of its Registrable Securities shall be omitted from such Registration Statement. In the event of a cutback hereunder, the Company shall give each Holder at least five (5) Trading Days prior written notice along with the calculations as to such Holder’s allotment.

 

(b)                                 If: (i) a Registration Statement is not filed on or prior to its Filing Date, (ii) the Company fails to use its reasonable best efforts to obtain effectiveness with the SEC prior to the Registration Deadline of a Registration Statement, (iii) the Company fails to file with the SEC a request for acceleration of a Registration Statement in accordance with Rule 461 promulgated by the SEC pursuant to the 1933 Act, within ten (10) Trading Days of the date that the Company is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the SEC that such Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review, or (iv) prior to the effective date of a Registration Statement, the Company fails to file a pre-effective amendment and otherwise respond in writing to comments made by the SEC in respect of such Registration Statement within thirty (30) calendar days after the receipt of comments by or notice from the SEC that such amendment is required in order for such Registration Statement to be declared effective, (any such failure or breach being referred to as an “Event”, and for purposes of clauses (i) and (ii) the date on which such Event occurs, and for purpose of clause (iii) the date on which such ten (10) Trading Day period is exceeded, and for purpose of clause (iv) the date which such thirty (30) calendar day period is exceeded, being referred to as “Event Date”), then, in addition to any other rights the Holders may have hereunder or under applicable law: (x) within five (5) Business Days after an Event Date, the Company shall pay to each Holder an amount in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, equal to 1.0% of the aggregate purchase price paid by such Holder pursuant to the Subscription Agreement for any Registrable Securities held by such Holder on such Event Date; and (y) on each monthly anniversary of each such Event Date (if the applicable Event shall not have been cured by such date) until the earlier of (1) the applicable Event is cured or (2) the Registrable Securities are eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144 without manner of sale or volume restrictions, the Company shall pay to each Holder an amount in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, equal to 1.0% of the aggregate purchase price paid by such Holder pursuant to the Subscription Agreement for any unregistered Registrable Securities then held by such Holder; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay partial liquidated damages to such Holder under this Section 2(b) in an aggregate amount (excluding any interest paid thereon) in excess of 5.0% of the aggregate purchase price paid by such Holder pursuant to the Subscription Agreement.  The amounts payable pursuant to the foregoing clauses (x) and (y) are referred to collectively as “Liquidated Damages.”  The parties agree that (1) the Company shall not be liable for Liquidated Damages under this Agreement with respect to any Conversion Shares or any Warrant Shares prior to their issuance and (2) notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in the Subscription Agreement, no Liquidated Damages shall be payable with respect to any period after the expiration of the Effectiveness Period.  If the Company fails to pay any partial Liquidated Damages pursuant to this Section in full within five (5) Business Days after the date payable, the Company will pay interest thereon at a rate of 15% per annum (or such lesser maximum amount that is permitted to be paid by applicable law)

 

5

 

to the Holder, accruing daily from the date such partial Liquidated Damages are due until such amounts, plus all such interest thereon, are paid in full. The partial Liquidated Damages pursuant to the terms hereof shall apply on a daily pro rata basis for any portion of a month prior to the cure of an Event.

 

(c)                                  In the event that Form S-3 is not available for the registration of the resale of Registrable Securities hereunder, the Company shall (i) register the resale of the Registrable Securities on another appropriate form reasonably acceptable to the Holders and (ii) undertake to register the Registrable Securities on Form S-3 promptly after such form is available, provided that the Company shall maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement then in effect until such time as a Registration Statement on Form S-3 covering the Registrable Securities has been declared effective by the Commission.

 

3.                                      Registration Procedures.  In connection with the Company’s registration obligations hereunder, the Company shall:

 

(a)                                 Not less than five (5) Trading Days prior to the filing of each Registration Statement and not less than one (1) Trading Day prior to the filing of any related Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto (including any document that would be incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, but not including (i) any Exchange Act filing (including any post-effective amendment filed solely to update the Registration Statement for an Exchange Act filing) or (ii) any supplement or post-effective amendment to a registration statement that is not related to such Holder’s Registrable Securities), the Company shall (x) furnish to each Holder copies of all such documents proposed to be filed and any comments made by the staff of the SEC with respect to such Registration Statement and the Company’s responses thereto, which documents (other than those incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference) will be subject to the review of such Holders, and (y) cause its officers and directors, counsel and independent registered public accountants to respond to such inquiries as shall be necessary, in the reasonable opinion of respective counsel to each Holder, to conduct a reasonable investigation within the meaning of the 1933 Act. The Company shall not file a Registration Statement or any such Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto to which the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities shall reasonably object in good faith, provided, that the Company is notified of such objection in writing no later than five (5) Trading Days after the Holders have been so furnished copies of a Registration Statement or one (1) Trading Day after the Holders have been so furnished copies of any related Prospectus or amendments or supplements thereto. In the event that the Company is prevented from making such filing on account of the objections described in the previous sentence (provided that the Company uses reasonable best efforts to address the objections described in the previous sentence and to promptly file thereafter), the failure of the Company to make such filing shall not be deemed a breach or default hereunder or otherwise with respect to the Securities.  Each Holder agrees to furnish to the Company a completed questionnaire in the form attached to this Agreement as Annex B (a “Selling Stockholder Questionnaire”) on a date that is fifteen (15) Trading Days following the date of this Agreement.

 

(b)                                 (i) Prepare and file with the SEC such amendments, including post-effective amendments, and supplements to a Registration Statement and the Prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep a Registration Statement current and

 

6

 

continuously effective (subject to any requirement that a post-effective amendment be declared effective by the SEC) as to the applicable Registrable Securities for the Effectiveness Period and prepare and file with the SEC such additional Registration Statements in order to register for resale under the 1933 Act all of the Registrable Securities subject to any SEC Guidance that sets forth a limitation on the number of Registrable Securities permitted to be registered on a particular Registration Statement, (ii) cause the related Prospectus to be amended or supplemented by any required Prospectus supplement (subject to the terms of this Agreement), and, as so supplemented or amended, to be filed pursuant to Rule 424, (iii) respond as promptly as reasonably possible to any comments received from the SEC with respect to a Registration Statement or any amendment thereto, and (iv) comply in all material respects with the applicable provisions of the 1933 Act and the Exchange Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement during the applicable period in accordance (subject to the terms of this Agreement) with the intended methods of disposition by the Holders thereof set forth in such Registration Statement as so amended or in such Prospectus as so supplemented.

 

(c)                                  If during the Effectiveness Period, the number of Registrable Securities at any time exceeds 100% of the number of shares of Common Stock then registered in a Registration Statement, then the Company shall file as soon as reasonably practicable, but in any case prior to the applicable Filing Date, an additional Registration Statement covering the resale by the Holders of not less than the number of such Registrable Securities.  Each Holder agrees to furnish to the Company an additional completed Selling Stockholder Questionnaire not less than two (2) Trading Days prior to the Filing Date or by the end of the fourth (4th) Trading Day following the date on which such Holder receives a draft of such new Registration Statement, provided that the Company has given at least ten (10) Trading Days prior notice that such Questionnaire will be requested.  The Company shall use its best efforts to cause such new Registration Statement to become effective as soon as practicable following the filing thereof.  For all purposes of this Agreement, such additional Registration Statement shall be deemed to be the Registration Statement required to be filed by the Company pursuant to Section 2(a), and the Company and the Investors shall have the same rights and obligations with respect to such additional Registration Statement as they shall have with respect to the initial Registration Statement required to be filed by the Company pursuant to Section 2(a).

 

(d)                                 Notify the Holders of Registrable Securities to be sold (which notice shall, pursuant to clauses (iii) through (vi) hereof, be accompanied by an instruction to suspend the use of the Prospectus until the requisite changes have been made) as promptly as reasonably possible (and, in the case of (i)(A) below, not less than one (1) Trading Day prior to such filing) and (if requested by any such Person) confirm such notice in writing no later than one (1) Trading Day following the day (i)(A), when a Prospectus or any Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement is proposed to be filed (but not including (1) any Exchange Act filing (including any post-effective amendment filed solely to update the Registration Statement for an Exchange Act filing) or (2) any supplement or post-effective amendment to a registration statement that is not related to such Holder’s Registrable Securities), (B) when the SEC notifies the Company whether there will be a “review” of such Registration Statement and whenever the SEC comments in writing on such Registration Statement, and (C) with respect to a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment, when the same has become effective, (ii) of any request by the SEC or

 

7

 

any other federal or state governmental authority for amendments or supplements to a Registration Statement or Prospectus or for additional information, (iii) of the issuance by the SEC or any other federal or state governmental authority of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement covering any or all of the Registrable Securities or the initiation of any Proceedings for that purpose, (iv) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation or threatening of any Proceeding for such purpose, (v) of the occurrence of any event or passage of time that makes the financial statements included in a Registration Statement ineligible for inclusion therein or any statement made in a Registration Statement or Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference untrue in any material respect or that requires any revisions to a Registration Statement, Prospectus or other documents so that, in the case of a Registration Statement or the Prospectus, as the case may be, it will not contain any 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 (vi) of the occurrence or existence of any pending corporate development with respect to the Company that the Company believes may be material and that, in the determination of the Company, makes it not in the best interest of the Company to allow continued availability of a Registration Statement or Prospectus, provided, that any and all of such information shall remain confidential to each Holder until such information otherwise becomes public, unless disclosure by a Holder is required by law.

 

(e)                                  Use its reasonable best efforts to avoid the issuance of, or, if issued, obtain the withdrawal of (i) any order stopping or suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement, or (ii) any suspension of the qualification (or exemption from qualification) of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, at the earliest practicable moment.

 

(f)                                   Furnish to each Holder, upon request, without charge, at least one conformed copy of each such Registration Statement and each amendment thereto, including financial statements and schedules, all documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference to the extent requested by such Person, and all exhibits to the extent requested by such Person (including those previously furnished or incorporated by reference) promptly after the filing of such documents with the SEC; provided, that any such item which is available on the EDGAR system (or successor thereto) need not be furnished in physical form.

 

(g)                                  Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Company hereby consents to the use of such Prospectus and each amendment or supplement thereto by each of the selling Holders in connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable Securities covered by such Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto, except after the giving of any notice pursuant to Section 3(d).

8

 

(i)                                     Prior to any resale of Registrable Securities by a Holder, use its commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify or cooperate with the selling Holders in connection with the registration or qualification (or exemption from the Registration or qualification) of such Registrable Securities for the resale by the Holder under the securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions within the United States as any Holder reasonably requests in writing, to keep each registration or qualification (or exemption therefrom) effective during the Effectiveness Period and to do any and all other acts or things reasonably necessary to enable the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities covered by each Registration Statement; provided, that the Company shall not be required to qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified, subject the Company to any material tax in any such jurisdiction where it is not then so subject or file a general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction.

 

(j)                                    If requested by a Holder, cooperate with such Holder to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing Registrable Securities to be delivered to a transferee pursuant to a Registration Statement, which certificates shall be free, to the extent permitted by the Subscription Agreement, of all restrictive legends, and to enable such Registrable Securities to be in such denominations and registered in such names as any such Holder may request.

 

(k)                                 Upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by Section 3(d), as promptly as reasonably possible under the circumstances taking into account the Company’s good faith assessment of any adverse consequences to the Company and its stockholders of the premature disclosure of such event, prepare a supplement or amendment, including a post-effective amendment, to a Registration Statement or a supplement to the related Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, and file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered, neither a Registration Statement nor such Prospectus will 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, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.  If the Company notifies the Holders in accordance with clauses (iii) through (vi) of Section 3(d) above to suspend the use of any Prospectus until the requisite changes to such Prospectus have been made, then the Holders shall suspend use of such Prospectus.  The Company will use its reasonable best efforts to ensure that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed as promptly as is practicable.  The Company shall be entitled to exercise its right under this Section 3(k) to suspend the availability of a Registration Statement and Prospectus for a period not to exceed sixty (60) calendar days (which need not be consecutive days) in any 12-month period.

 

(l)                                     Comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC in connection with obtaining and maintaining the effectiveness of any Registration Statement required to be filed and maintained with the SEC hereunder.

 

(m)                             To the extent reasonably required, request that each selling Holder shall furnish to the Company a certified statement as to the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Holder, if required by the SEC, the natural persons thereof that have voting and dispositive control over such shares. During any periods that the Company is unable to meet its obligations hereunder with respect to the registration of the Registrable

 

9

 

Securities solely because any Holder fails to furnish such information within five (5) Trading Days of the Company’s request, any liquidated damages that are accruing at such time as to such Holder only shall be tolled and any Event that may otherwise occur solely because of such delay shall be suspended as to such Holder only, until such information is delivered to the Company.

 

(n)                                 At the reasonable request of a Holder and at such Holder’s expense, prepare and file with the SEC such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to a Registration Statement and any Prospectus used in connection with the registration statement as may be necessary in order to change the plan of distribution set forth in such Registration Statement.

 

(o)                                 Hold in confidence and not make any disclosure of information concerning a Holder provided to the Company (excluding any information provided on the Selling Stockholder Questionnaire) unless (i) disclosure of such information is necessary to comply with federal or state securities laws or the rules of any securities exchange or trading market on which the Company’s securities are then listed or traded, (ii) the disclosure of such information is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in any Registration Statement, (iii) the release of such information is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other order from a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction, or (iv) such information has been made generally available to the public other than by disclosure in violation of this or any other agreement. The Company agrees that it shall, upon learning that disclosure of such information concerning a Holder is sought in or by a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction or through other means, give prompt notice to such Holder prior to making such disclosure, and allow such Holder, at its expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of, or to obtain a protective order for, such information.

all Losses, as incurred, to the extent arising out of or based solely upon (x) such Holder’s failure to comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the 1933 Act or (y) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, any Prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein (in the case of any Prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading (i) to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information so furnished in writing by such Holder to the Company in such Holder’s capacity as a selling Holder specifically and expressly for inclusion in such Registration Statement or such Prospectus or (ii) to the extent that such information relates to such Holder’s proposed method of distribution of Registrable Securities and was reviewed and expressly approved in writing by such Holder expressly for use in a Registration Statement (it being understood that the Holder has approved Annex A hereto for this purpose), such Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or (ii) in the case of an occurrence of an event of the type specified in Section 3(d)(iii)-(vi), the use by such Holder of an outdated, defective or otherwise unavailable Prospectus after the Company has notified such Holder in writing that the Prospectus is outdated, defective or otherwise unavailable for use by such Holder and prior to the receipt by such Holder of the Advice contemplated in Section 6(d).  In no event shall the liability of any selling Holder under this Section 5(b) be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by such Holder upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification obligation.

 

(c)                                  Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. If any Proceeding shall be brought or asserted against any person entitled to indemnity hereunder (an “Indemnified Party”), such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the person from whom indemnity is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing, and the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the payment of all fees and expenses reasonably incurred in connection with defense thereof; provided that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations or liabilities pursuant to this Agreement, except (and only) to the extent that it shall be finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction (which determination is not subject to appeal or further review) that such failure shall have materially prejudiced the Indemnifying Party’s ability to defend such action.

 

An Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such Proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party or Parties unless:  (1) the Indemnifying Party has agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses, (2) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed promptly to assume the defense of such Proceeding and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party in any such Proceeding, or (3) the named parties to any such Proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, and counsel to the Indemnified Party shall reasonably believe that a material conflict of interest is likely to exist if the same counsel were to represent such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party (in which case, if such Indemnified Party notifies the Indemnifying Party in writing that it elects to employ separate

 

12

 

counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense thereof and the reasonable fees and expenses of no more than one separate counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party).  The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any such Proceeding effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.  No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending Proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is a party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding.

 

Subject to the terms of this Agreement, all reasonable fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party (including reasonable fees and expenses to the extent incurred in connection with investigating or preparing to defend such Proceeding in a manner not inconsistent with this Section) shall be paid to the Indemnified Party, as incurred, within ten Trading Days of written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party; provided, that the Indemnified Party shall promptly reimburse the Indemnifying Party for that portion of such fees and expenses applicable to such actions for which such Indemnified Party is judicially determined not to be entitled to indemnification hereunder.

 

(d)                                 Contribution. If the indemnification under Section 5(a) or 5(b) is unavailable to an Indemnified Party or insufficient to hold an Indemnified Party harmless for any Losses, then each Indemnifying Party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party in connection with the actions, statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission of a material fact, has been taken or made by, or relates to information supplied by, such Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action, statement or omission.  The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of any Losses shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement, any reasonable attorneys’ or other fees or expenses incurred by such party in connection with any Proceeding to the extent such party would have been indemnified for such fees or expenses if the indemnification provided for in this Section was available to such party in accordance with its terms.

 

The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 5(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph.  Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 5(d), no Holder shall be required to contribute pursuant to this Section 5(d), in the aggregate, any amount in excess of the amount by which the net proceeds actually received by such Holder from the sale of the Registrable Securities subject to the Proceeding exceeds the amount of any damages that such Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.

 

13

 

The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section are in addition to any liability that the Indemnifying Parties may have to the Indemnified Parties, provided that no amount shall be reimbursed twice in any event.

 

6.                                      Miscellaneous.

 

(a)                                 Remedies.  In the event of a breach by the Company or by a Holder of any of their respective obligations under this Agreement, each Holder or the Company, as the case may be, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law and under this Agreement, including recovery of damages, shall be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Agreement.  Each of the Company and each Holder agrees that monetary damages would not provide adequate compensation for any losses incurred by reason of a breach by it of any of the provisions of this Agreement and hereby further agrees that, in the event of any action for specific performance in respect of such breach, it shall not assert or shall waive the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.

 

(b)                                 No Piggyback on Registrations. Neither the Company nor any of its security holders (other than the Holders in such capacity pursuant hereto) may include securities of the Company in any Registration Statements other than the Registrable Securities.

 

(c)                                  Compliance. Each Holder covenants and agrees that it will comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the 1933 Act as applicable to it in connection with sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement.

 

(d)                                 Discontinued Disposition.  By its acquisition of Registrable Securities, each Holder agrees that, upon receipt of a notice from the Company of the occurrence of any event of the kind described in Section 3(d)(iii) through (vi), such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of such Registrable Securities under a Registration Statement until it is advised in writing (the “Advice”) by the Company that the use of the applicable Prospectus (as it may have been supplemented or amended) may be resumed.  The Company will use its reasonable best efforts to ensure that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed as promptly as is practicable.

 

(e)                                  Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement, including the provisions of this sentence, may not be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given, unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Company and the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities (calculated as if all outstanding Notes were converted and all outstanding Warrants were exercised).  If a Registration Statement does not register all of the Registrable Securities pursuant to a waiver or amendment done in compliance with the previous sentence, then the number of Registrable Securities to be registered for each Holder shall be reduced pro rata among all Holders and each Holder shall have the right to designate which of its Registrable Securities shall be omitted from such Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a waiver or consent to depart from the provisions hereof with respect to a matter that relates exclusively to the rights of a Holder or some Holders and that does not directly or indirectly affect the rights of other Holders may be given by such Holder or Holders of all of the Registrable Securities to which such waiver or consent relates; provided, however, that

 

14

 

the provisions of this sentence may not be amended, modified, or supplemented except in accordance with the provisions of the first sentence of this Section 6(e).

 

(f)                                   Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries required or permitted to be provided hereunder shall be delivered as set forth in the Subscription Agreement.

 

(g)                                  Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of each of the parties and shall inure to the benefit of each Holder. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any party other than the parties hereto or their respective successors and assigns any rights, remedies, obligations, or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement, except as expressly provided in this Agreement. The Company may not assign its rights (except by merger or in connection with another entity acquiring all or substantially all of the Company’s assets) or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Holders of a majority of the then outstanding Registrable Securities. Each Holder may assign its respective rights with respect to any or all of its Conversion Shares and/or Warrant Shares hereunder in the manner and as permitted under the Subscription Agreement; provided in each case that (i) the Holder agrees in writing with the transferee or assignee to assign such rights and related obligations under this Agreement, and for the transferee or assignee to assume such obligations, and a copy of such agreement is furnished to the Company within a reasonable time after such assignment, (ii) the Company is, within a reasonable time after such transfer or assignment, furnished with written notice of the name and address of such transferee or assignee and the securities with respect to which such registration rights are being transferred or assigned, (iii) at or before the time the Company received the written notice contemplated by clause (ii) of this sentence, the transferee or assignee agrees in writing with the Company to be bound by all of the provisions contained herein and (iv) the transferee is an “accredited investor,” as that term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D under the 1933 Act.

 

(h)                                 Execution and Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party, it being understood that both parties need not sign the same counterpart.  In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or “.pdf” signature page were an original thereof.

 

(i)                                     Governing Law.  All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of the Subscription Agreement.

 

(j)                                    Cumulative Remedies. The remedies provided herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any other remedies provided by law.

 

(k)                                 Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, the

 

15

 

remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth herein shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and the parties hereto shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated by such term, provision, covenant or restriction. It is hereby stipulated and declared to be the intention of the parties that they would have executed the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of such that may be hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable.

 

(l)                                     Headings. The headings in this Agreement are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of the Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.

 

(m)                             Independent Nature of Holders’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Holder hereunder are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Holder hereunder, and no Holder shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Holder hereunder. Nothing contained herein or in any other agreement or document delivered at any closing, and no action taken by any Holder pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Holders as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Holders are in any way acting in concert with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each Holder shall be entitled to protect and enforce its rights, including without limitation the rights arising out of this Agreement, and it shall not be necessary for any other Holder to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.

The selling stockholders, which as used herein includes donees, pledgees, transferees or other successors-in-interest selling common membership units or shares received after the date of this prospectus from a selling stockholder as a gift, pledge, partnership distribution or other transfer, may, from time to time, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any or all of their shares on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. These dispositions may be at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at prices related to the prevailing market price, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices. The offering price of the shares from time to time will be determined by the selling stockholder and, at the time of determination, may be higher or lower than the market price of our common stock on the NYSE MKT.

 

The selling stockholders may use any one or more of the following methods from time to time when disposing of shares:

 

·                  ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;

 

·                  block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent, but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

 

·                  purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;

 

·                  an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;

 

·                  privately negotiated transactions;

 

·                  short sales effected after the date the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part is declared effective by the SEC;

 

·                  through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;

 

·                  broker-dealers may agree with the selling stockholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;

 

·                  a combination of any such methods of sale; or

 

·                  any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

 

The selling stockholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus. The selling stockholders are not obligated to, and there is no assurance that the selling stockholders will, sell all or any of the shares we are registering. The selling stockholders may transfer, devise or gift such shares by other means not described in this prospectus.

 

 

In connection with the sale of our shares, the selling stockholders may sell the shares directly or through broker-dealers acting as a principal or agent, or pursuant to a distribution by one or more underwriters on a firm commitment or best efforts basis. The selling stockholders may also enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the common stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The selling stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered by this prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction). The selling stockholders, broker-dealers or agents that participate in the sale of the common stock may be “underwriters” within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act. Any discounts, commissions, concessions or profit they earn on any resale of the shares may be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. Selling stockholders who are “underwriters” within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.

 

The aggregate proceeds to each selling stockholder from the sale of the common stock offered by them will be the purchase price of the common stock less discounts or commissions, if any. Each of the selling stockholders reserves the right to accept and, together with their agents from time to time, to reject, in whole or in part, any proposed purchase of common stock to be made directly or through agents. We will not receive any of the proceeds from this offering.

 

Broker-dealers engaged by the selling stockholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated. The selling stockholders do not expect these commissions and discounts to exceed what is customary in the types of transactions involved. Any profits on the resale of shares by a broker-dealer acting as principal might be deemed to be underwriting discounts or commissions under the Securities Act. Discounts, concessions, commissions and similar selling expenses, if any, attributable to the sale of shares will be borne by a selling stockholder. The selling stockholders may agree to indemnify any agent, dealer or broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving sales of the shares if liabilities are imposed on that person under the Securities Act.

 

Under the registration agreement, we are required to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by us incident to the registration of the shares. We have agreed to indemnify the selling stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. The selling stockholders have severally agreed to indemnify us against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

 

The selling stockholders may from time to time pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares owned by them and, if they default in the performance of any of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares from time to time under this prospectus as it may be supplemented from time to time, or under an amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act amending the list of selling stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling stockholders under this prospectus.

 

2

 

To the extent required, the shares to be sold, the names of the selling stockholders, the respective purchase prices and public offering prices, the names of any agents, dealer or underwriter, any applicable commissions or discounts with respect to a particular offer will be set forth in a supplement to this prospectus or, if appropriate, a post-effective amendment to the registration statement that includes this prospectus.

 

In order to comply with the securities laws of some states, if applicable, the common stock may be sold in these jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states the common stock may not be sold unless it has been registered or qualified for sale or an exemption from registration or qualification requirements is available and is complied with.

 

The anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M under the Exchange Act may apply to sales of shares in the market and to the activities of the founding members and their affiliates. In addition, we will make copies of this prospectus (as it may be supplemented or amended from time to time) available to the selling stockholders for the purpose of satisfying the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. The selling stockholders may indemnify any broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving the sale of the shares against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.

 

We have agreed with the selling stockholders to use reasonable best efforts to keep the registration statement of which this prospectus constitutes a part effective until the earlier of (1) such time as all of the shares covered by this prospectus have been disposed of pursuant to and in accordance with the registration statement or (2) the date on which the shares may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act without restriction.

 

Upon our notification by a selling stockholder that any material arrangement has been entered into with an underwriter or broker-dealer for the sale of shares through a block trade, special offering, exchange distribution, secondary distribution or a purchase by an underwriter or broker-dealer, we will file a supplement to this prospectus, if required, pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, disclosing certain material information, including:

 

·                  the name of the selling stockholder;

 

·                  the number of shares being offered;

 

·                  the terms of the offering;

 

·                  the names of the participating underwriters, broker-dealers or agents;

 

·                  any discounts, commissions or other compensation paid to underwriters or broker-dealers and any discounts, commission or concessions allowed or re-allowed or paid by any underwriters to dealers;

 

·                  the public offering price; and

 

·                  other material terms of the offering.
