(a)                                  Unless the Exchange Offer would not be permitted by applicable laws or a policy of the SEC, the RRA Parties shall (i) prepare and file with the SEC promptly after the date hereof, but in no event later than the Filing Date, a registration statement (the “Exchange Registration Statement”) on an appropriate form under the Securities Act with respect to an offer (the “Exchange Offer”) to the Holders of Notes, to issue and deliver to such Holders, in exchange for the Notes, a like principal amount of Exchange Notes, (ii) use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Exchange Registration Statement to be declared effective as promptly as practicable after the filing thereof, but in no event later than the Effectiveness Date, (iii) use their commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Exchange Registration Statement effective until the consummation of the Exchange Offer in accordance with its terms, and (iv) commence the Exchange Offer and use their commercially reasonable efforts to issue on or prior to thirty (30) Business Days after the

 

5

 

date on which the Exchange Registration Statement is declared effective, Exchange Notes in exchange for all Notes tendered prior thereto in the Exchange Offer.  The Exchange Offer shall not be subject to any conditions, other than that the Exchange Offer does not violate applicable law or any applicable interpretation of the staff of the SEC.

 

(b)                                 The Exchange Notes shall be issued under, and entitled to the benefits of, (i) the Indenture or a trust indenture that is identical to the Indenture (other than such changes as are necessary to comply with any requirements of the SEC to effect or maintain the qualifications thereof under the TIA) and (ii) the Collateral Agreements.

 

(c)                                  Interest on the Exchange Notes and Private Exchange Notes will accrue from the last interest payment due date on which interest was paid on the Notes, surrendered in exchange therefor or, if no interest has been paid on the Notes, from the date of original issue of the Notes.  Each Exchange Note and Private Exchange Note shall bear interest at the rate set forth thereon; provided, that interest with respect to the period prior to the issuance thereof shall accrue at the rate or rates borne by the Notes from time to time during such period.

 

(d)                                 The Issuer may require each Holder, as a condition to participation in the Exchange Offer, to represent (i) that any Exchange Notes received by it will be acquired in the ordinary course of its business, (ii) that at the time of the commencement and consummation of the Exchange Offer such Holder has not entered into any arrangement or understanding with any Person to participate in the distribution (within the meaning of the Securities Act) of the Exchange Notes in violation of the provisions of the Securities Act, (iii) that if such Holder is an “affiliate” of the Issuer within the meaning of Rule 405 of the Securities Act, it will comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act to the extent applicable to it, (iv) if such Holder is not a broker-dealer, that it is not engaged in, and does not intend to engage in, the distribution of the Notes and (v) if such Holder is a Participating Broker-Dealer, that it will deliver a Prospectus in connection with any resale of the Exchange Notes.

 

(e)                                  The RRA Parties shall include within the Prospectus contained in the Exchange Registration Statement a section entitled “Plan of Distribution” reasonably acceptable to the Initial Purchasers which shall contain a summary statement of the positions taken or policies made by the staff of the SEC with respect to the potential “underwriter” status of any broker-dealer that is the beneficial owner (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of Exchange Notes received by such broker-dealer in the Exchange Offer for its own account in exchange for the Notes that were acquired by it as a result of market-making or other trading activity (a “Participating Broker-Dealer”), whether such positions or policies have been publicly disseminated by the staff of the SEC or such positions or policies, in the judgment of the Initial Purchasers, represent the prevailing views of the staff of the SEC.  Such “Plan of Distribution” section shall also allow, to the extent permitted by applicable policies and regulations of the SEC, the use of the Prospectus by all Persons subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act, including, to the extent so permitted, all Participating Broker-Dealers, and include a statement describing the manner in which Participating Broker-Dealers may resell the Exchange Notes.  The Issuer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Exchange Registration Statement effective and to amend and supplement the Prospectus contained therein, in order to permit such Prospectus to be lawfully delivered by all Persons subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act for

 

6

 

such period of time as such Persons must comply with such requirements in order to resell the Exchange Notes (the “Applicable Period”).

 

(f)                                    If, upon consummation of the Exchange Offer, any Initial Purchaser holds any Notes acquired by such Initial Purchaser and having the status of an unsold allotment in the initial distribution, the Issuer (upon the written request from such Initial Purchaser) shall, simultaneously with the delivery of the Exchange Notes in the Exchange Offer, issue and deliver to such Initial Purchaser, in exchange (the “Private Exchange”) for the Notes held by such Initial Purchaser, a like principal amount of Senior Secured Notes that are identical to the Exchange Notes except for the existence of restrictions on transfer thereof under the Securities Act and securities laws of the several states of the United States (the “Private Exchange Notes”) (and which are issued pursuant to the same indenture as the Exchange Notes).  The Private Exchange Notes shall bear the same CUSIP number as the Exchange Notes.

 

(g)                                 In connection with the Exchange Offer, the RRA Parties shall:

(iv)                              permit Holders to withdraw tendered Registrable Notes at any time prior to the close of business, New York time, on the last Business Day on which the Exchange Offer shall remain open; and

 

(v)                                 otherwise comply in all material respects with all applicable laws.

 

(h)                                 As soon as practicable after the close of the Exchange Offer or the Private Exchange, as the case may be, the RRA Parties shall:

 

(i)                                     accept for exchange all Registrable Notes validly tendered pursuant to the Exchange Offer or the Private Exchange, as the case may be, and not validly withdrawn;

 

(ii)                                  deliver to the Trustee for cancellation all Registrable Notes so accepted for exchange; and

 

(iii)          cause the Trustee to authenticate and deliver promptly to each Holder tendering such Registrable Notes,  Exchange Notes or Private Exchange Notes, as the case may be, equal in principal amount to the Notes of such Holder so accepted for exchange.

 

7

 

(i)                                                     The Exchange Notes and the Private Exchange Notes may be issued under (i) the Indenture or (ii) an indenture identical to the Indenture (other than such changes as are necessary to comply with any requirements of the SEC to effect or maintain the qualification thereof under the TIA), which in either event will provide that the Exchange Notes will not be subject to the transfer restrictions set forth in the Indenture, that the Private Exchange Notes will be subject to the transfer restrictions set forth in the Indenture, and that the Exchange Notes, the Private Exchange Notes and the Notes, if any, will be deemed one class of security (subject to the provisions of the Indenture) and entitled to participate in all the security granted by the RRA Parties pursuant to the Collateral Agreements and in any Subsidiary Guarantee (as such terms are defined in the Indenture) on an equal and ratable basis.

 

(j)                                                     If:  (i) prior to the consummation of the Exchange Offer, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of Registrable Notes determines in its or their reasonable judgment that (A) the Exchange Notes would not, upon receipt, be tradeable by the Holders thereof without restriction under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and without material restrictions under applicable Blue Sky or state securities laws, or (B) the interests of the Holders under this Agreement, taken as a whole, would be materially adversely affected by the consummation of the Exchange Offer; (ii) applicable interpretations of the staff of the SEC would not permit the consummation of the Exchange Offer prior to the Effectiveness Date; (iii) subsequent to the consummation of the Private Exchange, any Holder of Private Exchange Notes so requests; (iv) the Exchange Offer is not consummated for any reason within the timeframe set forth in Section 2(a)(iv); or (v) in the case of (A) any Holder not permitted by applicable law or SEC policy to participate in the Exchange Offer, (B) any Holder participating in the Exchange Offer that receives Exchange Notes that may not be sold without restriction under state and federal securities laws (other than due solely to the status of such Holder as an affiliate of the Issuer within the meaning of the Securities Act) or (C) any broker-dealer that holds Notes acquired directly from the Issuer or any of its affiliates and, in each such case contemplated by this clause (v), such Holder notifies the Issuer within six months of consummation of the Exchange Offer, then the Issuer shall promptly (and in any event within five Business Days) deliver to the Holders (or in the case of an occurrence of any event described in clause (v) of this Section 2(j), to any such Holder) and the Trustee notice thereof (the “Shelf Notice”) and shall as promptly as possible thereafter file an Initial Shelf Registration pursuant to Section 3.

 

3.                                       Shelf Registration

 

If a Shelf Notice is delivered pursuant to Section 2(j), then this Section 3 shall apply to all Registrable Notes.  Otherwise, upon consummation of the Exchange Offer in accordance with Section 2, the provisions of Section 3 shall apply solely with respect to (i) Notes held by any Holder thereof not permitted to participate in the Exchange Offer, (ii) Notes held by any broker-dealer that acquired such Notes directly from the Issuer or any of its affiliates and (iii) Exchange Notes that are not freely tradeable as contemplated by Section 2(j)(v) hereof, provided in each case that the relevant Holder has duly notified the Issuer within six months of the Exchange Offer as required by Section 2(j)(v).

 

(a)                                  Initial Shelf Registration.  The RRA Parties shall, as promptly as practicable, file with the SEC a Registration Statement for an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 covering all of the Registrable Notes (the “Initial Shelf Registration”).  If the applicable RRA Parties have not yet filed an Exchange Registration Statement, the RRA Parties shall file with the SEC the Initial Shelf Registration on or prior to the Filing Date

 

8

 

and shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Initial Shelf Registration to be declared effective under the Securities Act on or prior to the Effectiveness Date.  Otherwise, the RRA Parties shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC the Initial Shelf Registration within thirty (30) days of the delivery of the Shelf Notice and shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Shelf Registration to be declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as practicable thereafter (but in no event more than ninety (90) days after delivery of the Shelf Notice).  The Initial Shelf Registration shall be on Form S-1 or another appropriate form permitting registration of such Registrable Notes for resale by Holders in the manner or manners reasonably designated by them (including, without limitation, one or more underwritten offerings).  The RRA Parties shall not permit any securities other than the Registrable Notes to be included in any Shelf Registration.  The RRA Parties shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Initial Shelf Registration continuously effective under the Securities Act until the date which is two years from the Closing Date (subject to extension pursuant to the last paragraph of Section 6(w) (the “Effectiveness Period”), or such shorter period ending when (i) all Registrable Notes covered by the Initial Shelf Registration have been sold in the manner set forth and as contemplated in the Initial Shelf Registration (ii) a Subsequent Shelf Registration covering all of the Registrable Notes covered by and not sold under the Initial Shelf Registration or an earlier Subsequent Shelf Registration has been declared effective under the Securities Act or (iii) there cease to be any outstanding Registrable Notes.

 

(b)                                 Subsequent Shelf Registrations.  If the Initial Shelf Registration or any Subsequent Shelf Registration (as defined below) ceases to be effective for any reason at any time during the Effectiveness Period (other than because of the sale of all of the securities registered thereunder), the RRA Parties shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the prompt withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness thereof, and in any event shall within thirty (30) days of such cessation of effectiveness amend such Shelf Registration in a manner to obtain the withdrawal of the order suspending the effectiveness thereof, or file an additional “shelf” Registration Statement pursuant to Rule 415 covering all of the Registrable Notes (a “Subsequent Shelf Registration”).  If a Subsequent Shelf Registration is filed, the RRA Parties shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Subsequent Shelf Registration to be declared effective as soon as practicable after such filing and to keep such Subsequent Shelf Registration continuously effective for a period equal to the number of days in the Effectiveness Period less the aggregate number of days during which the Initial Shelf Registration or any Subsequent Shelf Registration was previously continuously effective.  As used herein the term “Shelf Registration” means the Initial Shelf Registration and any Subsequent Shelf Registrations.

 

(c)                                  Supplements and Amendments.  The Issuer shall promptly supplement and amend any Shelf Registration if required by the rules, regulations or instructions applicable to the registration form used for such Shelf Registration, if required by the Securities Act, or if reasonably requested in writing by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Registrable Notes covered by such Shelf Registration or by any underwriter of such Registrable Notes.

 

(d)                                 Provision of Information.    No Holder of Registrable Notes shall be entitled to include any of its Registrable Notes in any Shelf Registration pursuant to this Agreement unless such Holder furnishes to the Issuer and the Trustee in writing, within twenty (20) days after receipt of a written request therefor, such information as the Issuer and the Trustee

 

9

 

after conferring with counsel with regard to information relating to Holders that would be required by the SEC to be included in such Shelf Registration or Prospectus included therein, may reasonably request for inclusion in any Shelf Registration or Prospectus included therein, and no such Holder shall be entitled to Additional Interest pursuant to Section 4 hereof unless and until such Holder shall have provided such information.

 

4.                                       Additional Interest

 

(a)                                  The RRA Parties each acknowledge and agree that the Holders of Registrable Notes will suffer damages if the RRA Parties fail to fulfill their material obligations under Section 2 or Section 3 hereof and that it would not be feasible to ascertain the extent of such damages with precision. Accordingly, the Issuer agrees to pay additional cash interest on the Notes (“Additional Interest”) under the circumstances and to the extent set forth below (each of which shall be given independent effect):

(ii)                                  if neither the Exchange Registration Statement nor the Initial Shelf Registration is declared effective on or prior to the applicable Effectiveness Date, Additional Interest shall accrue on the Notes over and above any stated interest at a rate of 0.25% per annum of the principal amount of such Notes for the first ninety (90) days immediately following the applicable Effectiveness Date, such Additional Interest rate increasing by an additional 0.25% per annum at the beginning of each subsequent ninety (90) day period;

 

(iii)                               if (A) the RRA Parties have not exchanged Exchange Notes for all of the Notes validly tendered in accordance with the terms of the Exchange Offer on or prior to thirty (30) Business Days after the Effectiveness Date, (B) the Exchange Registration Statement ceases to be effective at any time prior to the time that the Exchange Offer is consummated, (C) if applicable, a Shelf Registration has been declared effective and such Shelf Registration ceases to be effective at any time prior to the second anniversary of its effective date (other than such time as all Notes have been disposed of thereunder) and is not declared effective again within thirty (30) days, or (D) pending the announcement of a material corporate transaction, event, occurrence or other item, the Issuer issues a written notice pursuant to Section 6(e)(v) or (vi) that a Shelf Registration Statement or Exchange Registration Statement is unusable and the aggregate number of days in any 365-day period for which all such notices issued or required to be issued, have been, or were required to be, in effect exceeds ninety (90) days in the aggregate or thirty (30) days consecutively, in the case of a Shelf Registration statement, or fifteen (15) days in the aggregate in the case of an Exchange Registration Statement, then Additional Interest shall accrue on the Notes, over and above any stated interest, at a rate of 0.25% per annum of the principal amount of the Notes commencing on (w) the 31st Business Day after the Effectiveness Date, in the case of (A) above, or (x) the date the Exchange

Registration Statement ceases to be effective without being declared effective again within thirty (30) days, in the case of clause (B) above, or (y) the day such Shelf Registration ceases to be effective in the case of (C) above, or (z) the day the Exchange Registration Statement or Shelf Registration ceases to be usable in case of clause (D) above, such Additional Interest rate increasing by an additional 0.25% per annum at the beginning of each such subsequent 90-day period;

 

provided, however, that the maximum Additional Interest rate on the Notes, may not exceed at any one time in the aggregate 1.00% per annum; and provided further, that (1) upon the filing of the Exchange Registration Statement or Initial Shelf Registration (in the case of (i) above), (2) upon the effectiveness of the Exchange Registration Statement or Initial Shelf Registration (in the case of (ii) above), or (3) upon the exchange of Exchange Notes for all Notes tendered (in the case of (iii)(A) above), or upon the effectiveness of the Exchange Registration Statement that had ceased to remain effective (in the case of clause (iii)(B) above), or upon the effectiveness of a Shelf Registration which had ceased to remain effective (in the case of (iii)(C) above), Additional Interest on the Notes as a result of such clause (or the relevant subclause thereof) or upon the usability of such Registration Statement or Exchange Registration Statement (in the case of clause (iii)(D) above), as the case may be, shall cease to accrue.

 

(b)                                 The Issuer shall notify the Trustee within three Business Days after each and every date on which an event occurs in respect of which Additional Interest is required to be paid (an “Event Date”).  Any amounts of Additional Interest due pursuant to clause (a)(i), (a)(ii) or (a)(iii) of this Section 4 will be payable in cash, on the dates and in the manner provided in the Indenture and whether or not any cash interest would then be payable on such date, commencing with the first such semi-annual date occurring after any such Additional Interest commences to accrue.  The amount of Additional Interest will be determined by multiplying the applicable Additional Interest rate by the principal amount of the Notes multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days such Additional Interest rate was applicable during such period (determined on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months and, in the case of a partial month, the actual number of days elapsed), and the denominator of which is 360.

 

5.                                       Hold-Back Agreements

 

The Issuer agrees that it will not effect any public or private sale or distribution (including a sale pursuant to Regulation D under the Securities Act) of any securities the same as or similar to those covered by a Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2 or 3 hereof (other than Additional Notes (as defined in the Existing Kratos Indenture) issued under the Existing Kratos Indenture), or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for such securities, during the ten (10) days prior to, and during the  ninety (90)-day period beginning on, the effective date of any Registration Statement filed pursuant to Sections 2 and 3 hereof unless the Holders of a majority in the aggregate principal amount of the Registrable Notes to be included in such Registration Statement consent, if the managing underwriter thereof so requests in writing.

 

6.                                       Registration Procedures

 

In connection with the filing of any Registration Statement pursuant to Sections 2 or 3 hereof, the RRA Parties shall effect such registrations to permit the sale of such securities covered thereby in

 

11

 

accordance with the intended method or methods of disposition thereof, and pursuant thereto and in connection with any Registration Statement filed by the Issuer hereunder, the RRA Parties shall:

 

(a)                                  prepare and file with the SEC as soon as practicable after the date hereof but in any event on or prior to the Filing Date, the Exchange Registration Statement or if the Exchange Registration Statement is not filed because of the circumstances contemplated by Section 2(j), a Shelf Registration as prescribed by Section 3, and use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause each such Registration Statement to be declared effective and remain effective as provided herein; provided that, if (1) a Shelf Registration is filed pursuant to Section 3 or (2) a Prospectus contained in an Exchange Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2 is required to be delivered under the Securities Act by any Participating Broker-Dealer who seeks to sell Exchange Notes during the Applicable Period relating thereto, before filing any Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto, the RRA Parties shall, if requested, furnish to and afford the Holders of the Registrable Notes to be registered pursuant to such Shelf Registration Statement, each Participating Broker-Dealer, the managing underwriters, if any, and each of their respective counsel, a reasonable opportunity to review copies of all such documents (including copies of any documents to be incorporated by reference therein and all exhibits thereto) proposed to be filed (in each case at least three Business Days prior to such filing); provided that if the provision of such documents to such Holders would cause the RRA Parties to be in violation of Regulation FD of the Exchange Act, the RRA Parties shall not be required to furnish such documents to such Holders unless such Holders enter into a confidentiality agreement with the RRA Parties with respect thereto in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the RRA Parties.  The RRA Parties shall not file any such Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto in respect of which the Holders must provide information for the inclusion therein without the Holders being afforded an opportunity to review such documentation if the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Registrable Notes covered by such Registration Statement, or any such Participating Broker-Dealer, as the case may be, the managing underwriters, if any, or any of their respective counsel shall reasonably object in writing on a timely basis. A Holder shall be deemed to have reasonably objected to such filing if such Registration Statement, amendment, Prospectus or supplement, as applicable, as proposed to be filed, contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or fails to comply with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act.

 

(b)                                 provide an indenture trustee for the Registrable Notes, the Exchange Notes or the Private Exchange Notes, as the case may be, and cause the applicable Indenture (or other indenture relating to the Registrable Notes) to be qualified under the TIA not later than the effective date of the first Registration Statement; and in connection therewith, to effect such changes to such indenture as may be required for such indenture to be so qualified in accordance with the terms of the TIA; and execute, and use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause such trustee to execute, all documents as may be required to effect such changes, and all other forms and documents required to be filed with the SEC to enable such indenture to be so qualified in a timely manner.

 

(c)                                  prepare and file with the SEC such pre-effective amendments and post-effective amendments to each Shelf Registration or Exchange Registration Statement, as the case may be, as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement continuously effective for the Effectiveness Period or the Applicable Period, as the case may be; cause the

 

12

 

related Prospectus to be supplemented by any Prospectus supplement required by applicable law, and as so supplemented to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 (or any similar provisions then in force) promulgated under the Securities Act; and comply with the provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act applicable to them with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such Registration Statement as so amended or in such Prospectus as so supplemented and with respect to the subsequent resale of any securities being sold by a Participating Broker-Dealer covered by any such Prospectus.  The RRA Parties shall not, during the Applicable Period, voluntarily take any action that would result in selling Holders of the Registrable Notes covered by a Registration Statement or Participating Broker-Dealers seeking to sell Exchange Notes not being able to sell such Registrable Notes or such Exchange Notes during that period, unless such action is required by applicable law, rule or regulation or permitted by this Agreement.

 

(d)                                 furnish to such selling Holders and Participating Broker-Dealers who so request in writing (i) upon receipt by the Issuer of a copy of the order of the SEC declaring such Registration Statement and any post effective amendment thereto effective, (ii) such reasonable number of copies of such Registration Statement and of each amendment and supplement thereto (in each case including any documents incorporated therein by reference and all exhibits), (iii) such reasonable number of copies of the Prospectus included in such Registration Statement (including each preliminary Prospectus) and each amendment and supplement thereto, and such reasonable number of copies of the final Prospectus as filed by the RRA Parties pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act and each amendment and supplement thereto, and (iv) such other documents (including any amendments required to be filed pursuant to clause (c) of this Section), as any such Person may reasonably request in writing. The RRA Parties hereby consent to the use of the Prospectus by each of the selling Holders of Registrable Notes or each such Participating Broker-Dealer, as the case may be, and the underwriters or agents, if any, and dealers, if any, in connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable Notes covered by, or the sale by Participating Broker-Dealers of the Exchange Notes pursuant to, such Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto.

 

(e)                                  if (1) a Shelf Registration is filed pursuant to Section 3, or (2) a Prospectus contained in an Exchange Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2 is required to be delivered under the Securities Act by any Participating Broker-Dealer who seeks to sell Exchange Notes during the Applicable Period relating thereto, the Issuer shall notify in writing the selling Holders of Registrable Notes, or each such Participating Broker-Dealer, as the case may be, the managing underwriters, if any, and each of their respective counsel promptly (but in any event within two Business Days) (i) when a Prospectus or any Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment has been filed, and, with respect to a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment, when the same has become effective (including in such notice a written statement that any Holder may, upon request, obtain, without charge, one conformed copy of such Registration Statement or post-effective amendment including financial statements and schedules, documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference and exhibits), (ii) of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement or of any order preventing or suspending the use of any Prospectus or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose, (iii) if at any time when a Prospectus is required by the Securities Act to be delivered in connection with sales of the Registrable Notes the representations and warranties of the RRA Parties contained in any agreement (including any underwriting agreement) contemplated by Section 6(n) hereof cease to be

 

13

 

true and correct, (iv) of the receipt by any RRA Party of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of a Registration Statement or any of the Registrable Notes or the Exchange Notes to be sold by any Participating Broker-Dealer for offer or sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose, (v) of the happening of any event, the existence of any condition of any information becoming known that makes any statement made in such Registration Statement or related Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference untrue in any material respect or that requires the making of any changes in, or amendments or supplements to, such Registration Statement, Prospectus or documents so that, in the case of the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, 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, (vi) of any reasonable determination by any RRA Party that a post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement would be appropriate and (vii) of any request by the SEC for amendments to the Registration Statement or supplements to the Prospectus or for additional information relating thereto.

 

(f)                                    use their commercially reasonable efforts to prevent the issuance of any order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement or of any order preventing or suspending the use of a Prospectus or suspending the qualification (or exemption from qualification) of any of the Registrable Notes or the Exchange Notes to be sold by any Participating Broker-Dealer, for sale in any jurisdiction, and, if any such order is issued, to use their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any such order at the earliest possible date.

 

(g)                                 if (A) a Shelf Registration is filed pursuant to Section 3, (B) a Prospectus contained in an Exchange Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2 is required to be delivered under the Securities Act by any Participating Broker-Dealer who seeks to sell Exchange Notes during the Applicable Period or (C) reasonably requested in writing by the managing underwriters, if any, or the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Registrable Notes being sold in connection with an underwritten offering, (i) promptly incorporate in a Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment such information or revisions to information therein relating to such underwriters or selling Holders as the managing underwriters, if any, or such Holders or any of their respective counsel reasonably request in writing to be included or made therein and (ii) make all required filings of such Prospectus supplement or such post-effective amendment as soon as practicable after the Issuer has received notification of the matters to be incorporated in such Prospectus supplements or post-effective amendment.

 

(h)                                 prior to any public offering of Registrable Notes or any delivery of a Prospectus contained in the Exchange Registration Statement by any Participating Broker-Dealer who seeks to sell Exchange Notes during the Applicable Period, use their commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify, and to cooperate with the selling Holders of Registrable Notes or each such Participating Broker-Dealer, as the case may be, the underwriters, if any, and their respective counsel in connection with the registration or qualification (or exemption from such registration or qualification) of such Registrable Notes or Exchange Notes, as the case may be, for offer and sale under the securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions within the United States as any selling Holder, Participating Broker-Dealer or any managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, reasonably request in writing; provided that where Exchange Notes held by Participating

 

14

 

Broker-Dealers or Registrable Notes are offered other than through an underwritten offering, the RRA Parties agree to cause its counsel to perform Blue Sky investigations and file any registrations and qualifications required to be filed pursuant to this Section 6(h), keep each such registration or qualification (or exemption therefrom) effective during the period such Registration Statement is required to be kept effective and do any and all other acts or things reasonably necessary or advisable to enable the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Exchange Notes held by Participating Broker-Dealers or the Registrable Notes covered by the applicable Registration Statement; provided that none of the RRA Parties shall be required to (A) qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified, (B) take any action that would subject it to general service of process in any such jurisdiction where it is not then so subject or (C) subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction where it is not then so subject.

 

(i)                                     if (A) a Shelf Registration is filed pursuant to Section 3 or (B) a Prospectus contained in an Exchange Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2 is requested to be delivered under the Securities Act by any Participating Broker-Dealer who seeks to sell Exchange Notes during the Applicable Period, cooperate with the selling Holders of Registrable Notes and the managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing Registrable Notes to be sold, which certificates shall not bear any restrictive legends and shall be in a form eligible for deposit with The Depository Trust Company, and enable such Registrable Notes to be in such denominations and registered in such names as the managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, or Holders may reasonably request.

 

(j)                                     use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Registrable Notes covered by any Registration Statement to be registered with or approved by such governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary to enable the seller or sellers thereof or the underwriter, if any, to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Notes, except as may be required solely as a consequence of the nature of such selling Holder’s business, in which case the RRA Parties shall cooperate in all reasonable respects with the filing of such Registration Statement and the granting of such approvals; provided that none of the RRA Parties shall be required to (A) qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified, (B) take any action that would subject it to general service of process in any jurisdiction where it is not then so subject or (C) subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction where it is not then so subject.

 

(k)                                  if (1) a Shelf Registration is filed pursuant to Section 3, or (2) a Prospectus contained in an Exchange Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2 is required to be delivered under the Securities Act by any Participating Broker-Dealer who seeks to sell Exchange Notes during the Applicable Period, upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by paragraph 6(e)(v) or 6(e)(vi) hereof, as promptly as practicable, prepare and file with the SEC, at the expense of the RRA Parties, a supplement or post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement or a supplement to the related Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of the Registrable Notes being sold thereunder or to the purchasers of the Exchange Notes to whom such Prospectus will be delivered by a Participating Broker-Dealer, such Prospectus 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, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and, if SEC

 

15

 

review is required, use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause such post-effective amendment to be declared effective as soon as possible.

 

(l)                                     use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Registrable Notes covered by a Registration Statement to be rated with such appropriate rating agencies, if so requested in writing by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Registrable Notes covered by such Registration Statement or the managing underwriter or underwriters, if any.

 

(m)                               prior to the initial issuance of the Exchange Notes, (i) provide the Trustee with one or more certificates for the Registrable Notes in a form eligible for deposit with The Depository Trust Company and (ii) provide a CUSIP number for the Exchange Notes.

(o)                                 if (1) a Shelf Registration is filed pursuant to Section 3, or (2) a Prospectus contained in an Exchange Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2 is required to be delivered under the Securities Act by any Participating Broker-Dealer who seeks to sell Exchange Notes during the Applicable Period, make available for inspection by any selling Holder of such Registrable Notes being sold, or each such Participating Broker-Dealer, as the case may be, any underwriter participating in any such disposition of Registrable Notes, if any, and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by any such selling Holder or each such Participating Broker-Dealer, as the case may be, or underwriter (collectively, the “Inspectors”), at the offices where normally kept, during reasonable business hours, all financial and other records and pertinent corporate documents of the Issuer and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Records”) as shall be reasonably necessary to enable them to exercise any applicable due diligence responsibilities, and cause the officers, directors and employees of the Issuer and its subsidiaries to supply all information reasonably requested in writing by any such Inspector in connection with such Registration Statement.

Each selling Holder of such Registrable Notes and each such Participating Broker-Dealer will be required to agree that information obtained by it as a result of such inspections shall be deemed confidential and shall not be used by it as the basis for any market transactions in the securities of the Issuer unless and until such is made generally available to the public. Each Inspector, each selling Holder of such Registrable Notes and each such Participating Broker-Dealer will be required to further agree that it will, upon learning that disclosure of such Records is sought in a court of competent jurisdiction, give notice to the Issuer and, to the extent practicable, use their commercially reasonable efforts to allow the Issuer, at its expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of the Records deemed confidential at its expense.

 

(p)                                 comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and make generally available to the security holders of the Issuer with regard to any Applicable Registration Statement earning statements satisfying the provisions of section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder (or any similar rule promulgated under the Securities Act) no later than forty-five (45) days after the end of any twelve month period (or ninety (90) days after the end of any twelve month period if such period is a fiscal year) (i) commencing at the end of any fiscal quarter in which Registrable Notes are sold to underwriters in a firm commitment or best efforts underwritten offering and (ii) if not sold to underwriters in such an offering, commencing on the first day of the first fiscal quarter of the Issuer after the effective date of a Registration Statement, which statements shall cover said twelve month periods.

 

(q)                                 upon consummation of a Private Exchange, obtain an opinion of counsel to the RRA Parties (in form, scope and substance reasonably satisfactory to Jefferies), addressed to

(r)                                    if the Exchange Offer or a Private Exchange is to be consummated, upon delivery of the Registrable Notes by the Holders to the RRA Parties (or to such other Person as directed by the RRA Parties) in exchange for the Exchange Notes or the Private Exchange Notes, as the case may be, the RRA Parties shall mark, or caused to be marked, on such Registrable Notes that the Exchange Notes or the Private Exchange Notes, as the case may be, are being issued as substitute evidence of the indebtedness originally evidenced by the Registrable Notes; provided that in no event shall such Registrable Notes be marked as paid or otherwise satisfied.

 

(s)                                  cooperate with each seller of Registrable Notes covered by any Registration Statement and each underwriter, if any, participating in the disposition of such Registrable Notes and their respective counsel in connection with any filings required to be made with FINRA.

 

(t)                                    use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause all Securities covered by a Registration Statement to be listed on each securities exchange, if any, on which similar debt securities issued by the Issuer are then listed.

 

(u)                                 use their commercially reasonable efforts to take all other steps reasonably necessary to effect the registration of the Registrable Notes covered by a Registration Statement contemplated hereby.

The Issuer may exclude from such registration the Registrable Notes of any seller who fails to furnish such information within a reasonable time (which time in no event shall exceed thirty (30) days, subject to Section 3(d) hereof) after receiving such request.  Each seller of Registrable Notes or Participating Broker-Dealer as to which any registration is being effected agrees to furnish promptly to the Issuer all information required to be disclosed in order to make the information previously furnished by such seller not materially misleading.

 

(w)                               each Holder of Registrable Notes and each Participating Broker-Dealer agrees by acquisition of such Registrable Notes or Exchange Notes to be sold by such Participating Broker-Dealer, as the case may be, that, upon receipt of any notice from the Issuer of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 6(e)(ii), 6(e)(iv), 6(e)(v), or 6(e)(vi), such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of such Registrable Notes covered by a Registration Statement and such Participating Broker-Dealer will forthwith

 

18

 

discontinue disposition of such Exchange Notes pursuant to any Prospectus and, in each case, forthwith discontinue dissemination of such Prospectus until such Holder’s or Participating Broker-Dealer’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus contemplated by Section 6(k), or until it is advised in writing (the “Advice”) by the RRA Parties that the use of the applicable Prospectus may be resumed, and has received copies of any amendments or supplements thereto and, if so directed by the RRA Parties, such Holder or Participating Broker-Dealer, as the case may be, will deliver to the Issuer all copies, other than permanent file copies, then in such Holder’s or Participating Broker-Dealer’s possession, of the Prospectus covering such Registrable Notes current at the time of the receipt of such notice.  In the event the RRA Parties shall give any such notice, the Applicable Period shall be extended by the number of days during such periods from and including the date of the giving of such notice to and including the date when each Participating Broker-Dealer shall have received (x) the copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus contemplated by Section 6(k) or (y) the Advice.

8.                                       Indemnification

 

(a)                                  Indemnification by the RRA Parties.  Each of the RRA Parties, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify and hold harmless each Holder of Registrable Notes, Exchange Notes or Private Exchange Notes and each Participating Broker-Dealer selling Exchange Notes during the Applicable Period, each Person, if any, who controls each such Holder (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act) and the officers, directors and partners of each such Holder, Participating Broker-Dealer and controlling person, to the fullest extent lawful, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs (including, without limitation, reasonable costs of preparation and reasonable attorneys’ fees as provided in this Section 8) and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with investigating, preparing, pursuing or defending against any of the foregoing) (collectively, “Losses”), as incurred, directly or indirectly caused by, related to, based upon, arising out of or in connection with any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, Prospectus or form of prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto, or in any preliminary prospectus, or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, except insofar as such Losses are solely based upon information relating to such Holder or Participating Broker-Dealer and furnished in writing to the RRA Parties (or reviewed and approved in writing) by such Holder or Participating Broker-Dealer or their counsel expressly for use therein; provided, however, that the RRA Parties will not be liable to any Indemnified Party (as defined below) under this Section 8 to the extent Losses were solely caused by an untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission that was contained or made in any preliminary prospectus and corrected in the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto if (i) the Prospectus does not contain any other untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission of a material fact that was the subject matter of the related proceeding, (ii) any such Losses resulted from an action, claim or suit by any Person who purchased Registrable Notes or Exchange Notes which are the subject thereof from such Indemnified Party and (iii) it is established in the related proceeding that such Indemnified Party failed to deliver or provide a copy of the Prospectus (as amended or supplemented) to such Person with or prior to the confirmation of the sale of such

 

20

 

Registrable Notes or Exchange Notes sold to such Person if required by applicable law, unless such failure to deliver or provide a copy of the Prospectus (as amended or supplemented) was a result of noncompliance by the Issuer with Section 6 of this Agreement. Each of the RRA Parties also agree to indemnify underwriters, selling brokers, dealer managers and similar securities industry professionals participating in the distribution, their officers, directors, agents and employees and each Person who controls such Persons (within the meaning of Section 5 of the Securities Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act) to the same extent as provided above with respect to the indemnification of the Holders or the Participating Broker-Dealer.

 

(b)                                 Indemnification by Holder.  In connection with any Registration Statement, Prospectus or form of prospectus, any amendment or supplement thereto, or any preliminary prospectus in which a Holder is participating, such Holder shall furnish to the RRA Parties in writing such information as the RRA Parties reasonably request for use in connection with any Registration Statement, Prospectus or form of prospectus, any amendment or supplement thereto, or any preliminary prospectus and shall indemnify and hold harmless the RRA Parties, their respective directors and each Person, if any, who controls the RRA Parties (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers and partners of such controlling persons, to the fullest extent lawful, from and against all Losses arising out of or based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, Prospectus or form of prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading to the extent, but only to the extent, that such losses are finally judicially determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, unappealable order to have resulted solely from an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission of a material fact contained in or omitted from any information so furnished in writing by such Holder to the RRA Parties expressly for use therein.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the liability of any selling Holder be greater in amount than such Holder’s Maximum Contribution Amount (as defined below).

 

(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 party or parties from which such indemnity is sought (the “Indemnifying Party” or “Indemnifying Parties”, as applicable) in writing; provided, that the failure to so notify the Indemnifying Parties shall not (i) relieve such Indemnifying Party from any obligation or liability unless and only to the extent it is materially prejudiced as a result thereof and (ii) will not, in any event, relieve the Indemnifying Party from any obligations to any Indemnified Party.

 

The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, exercisable by giving written notice to an Indemnified Party, within twenty (20) Business Days after receipt of written notice from such Indemnified Party of such proceeding, to assume, at its expense, the defense of any such proceeding, provided, that 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 to pay such fees and expenses; or (2) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed promptly to assume the defense of such proceeding or shall have failed to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party; or (3) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both such

 

21

 

Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party or any of its affiliates or controlling persons, and such Indemnified Party shall have been advised by counsel that there may be one or more defenses available to such Indemnified Party that are in addition to, or in conflict with, those defenses available to the Indemnifying Party or such affiliate or controlling person (in which case, if such Indemnified Party notifies the Indemnifying Parties in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Parties, the Indemnifying Parties shall not have the right to assume the defense and the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party; it being understood, however, that, the Indemnifying Party shall not, in connection with any one such proceeding or separate but substantially similar or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (together with appropriate local counsel) at any time for such Indemnified Party).

 

No Indemnifying Party shall be liable for any settlement of any such proceeding effected without its written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, but if settled with its written consent, or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff in any such proceeding, each Indemnifying Party jointly and severally agrees, subject to the exceptions and limitations set forth above, to indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Party from and against any and all Losses by reason of such settlement or judgment.  The Indemnifying Party shall not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement unless such judgment or settlement (i) includes as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to each Indemnified Party of a release, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, from all liability in respect of such proceeding for which such Indemnified Party would be entitled to indemnification hereunder (whether or not any Indemnified Party is a party thereto) and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Party.

 

(d)                                 Contribution.  If the indemnification provided for in this Section 8 is unavailable to an Indemnified Party or is insufficient to hold such Indemnified Party harmless for any Losses in respect of which this Section 8 would otherwise apply by its terms (other than by reason of exceptions provided in this Section 8), then each applicable Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall have a joint and several obligation to contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such Losses, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and such Indemnified Party, on the other hand, 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, on the one hand, and Indemnified Party, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact 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 any such statement or omission.  The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Party as a result of any Losses shall be deemed to include any legal 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 Section 8(a) or 8(b) was available to such party.

 

The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 8(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph.  Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8(d), a selling Holder shall not be required to contribute, in the aggregate, any amount in excess of such Holder’s Maximum Contribution Amount.  A selling Holder’s

 

22

 

“Maximum Contribution Amount” shall equal the excess of (i) the aggregate proceeds received by such Holder pursuant to the sale of such Registrable Notes or Exchange Notes over (ii) the aggregate amount of damages that such Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.  No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Holders’ obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 8(d) are several in proportion to the respective principal amount of the Registrable Securities held by each Holder hereunder and not joint.  The obligations of each of the RRA Parties, to contribute pursuant to this Section 8(d) are joint and several.

 

The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section 8 are in addition to any liability that the Indemnifying Parties may have to the Indemnified Parties.

 

9.                                      Rules 144 and 144A

 

The Issuer covenants that it shall (a) file the reports required to be filed by it (if so required) under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act in a timely manner and, if at any time the Issuer is not required to file such reports, it will, upon the written request of any Holder of Registrable Notes, make publicly available other information necessary to permit sales pursuant to Rule 144 and 144A and (b) take such further action as any Holder may reasonably request in writing, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Holder to sell Registrable Notes without registration under the Securities Act pursuant to the exemptions provided by Rule 144 and Rule 144A.  Upon the request of any Holder, the Issuer shall deliver to such Holder a written statement as to whether it has complied with such information and requirements.

 

10.                               Underwritten Registrations of Registrable Notes

 

If any of the Registrable Notes covered by any Shelf Registration is to be sold in an underwritten offering, the investment banker or investment bankers and manager or managers that will manage the offering will be selected by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of such Registrable Notes included in such offering; provided, however, that such investment banker or investment bankers and manager or managers must be reasonably acceptable to the Issuer.

 

No Holder of Registrable Notes may participate in any underwritten registration hereunder unless such Holder (a) agrees to sell such Holder’s Registrable Notes on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements and (b) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements.

 

11.                               Miscellaneous

 

(a)                                 Remedies. In the event of a breach by any RRA Party of any of its obligations under this Agreement, each Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein, in the Indenture or, in the case of the Initial Purchasers, in the Purchase Agreement, or granted by law, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Agreement.  The RRA Parties agree that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by any RRA Party of any of the provisions of this Agreement and hereby further agree that, in the event of any action for specific performance in respect of such breach, the RRA Parties shall  waive the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.

 

23

 

(b)                                 No Inconsistent Agreements.  The RRA Parties have not entered, as of the date hereof, and the RRA Parties shall not enter, after the date of this Agreement, into any agreement with respect to any of its securities that is inconsistent with the rights granted to the Holders of Securities in this Agreement or otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof.  The RRA Parties have not entered and will not enter into any agreement with respect to any of its securities that will grant to any Person piggy-back rights with respect to a Registration Statement.

 

(c)                                  Adjustments Affecting Registrable Notes.  The Issuer shall not, directly or indirectly, take any action with respect to the Registrable Notes as a class that would adversely affect the ability of the Holders to include such Registrable Notes in a registration undertaken pursuant to this Agreement.

 

(d)                                 Amendments and Waivers.  The provisions of this Agreement may not be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given, otherwise than with the prior written consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Registrable Notes in circumstances that would adversely affect any Holders of Registrable Notes; provided, however, that Section 8 and this Section 11(d) may not be amended, modified or supplemented without the prior written consent of each Holder.  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 Holders of Registrable Notes whose securities are being tendered pursuant to the Exchange Offer or sold pursuant to a Notes Registration Statement and that does not directly or indirectly affect, impair, limit or compromise the rights of other Holders of Registrable Notes may be given by Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Registrable Notes being tendered or being sold by such Holders pursuant to such Notes Registration Statement.

 

(e)                                  Notices.  All notices and other communications provided for or permitted hereunder shall be made in writing by hand delivery, registered first-class mail, next-day air courier or telecopier:

   Schedule I hereto
 c/o Jefferies & Company, Inc.
 520 Madison Avenue
 New York, New York  10022

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

KRATOS DEFENSE & SECURITY SOLUTIONS, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Kratos” or the “Stage II Issuer”), Acquisition Co. Lanza Parent, a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Kratos (“Intermediate Holdings” or the “Stage I Issuer” and, together with the Stage II Issuer, the “Issuers”) and Lanza Acquisition Co., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Intermediate Holdings (“Acquisition Co.”) hereby agree with you as follows:

 

1.                                      Issuance of Notes.  Subject to the terms and conditions herein contained, the Stage I Issuer proposes to issue and sell to Jefferies & Company, Inc. (“Jefferies”), KeyBanc Capital Markets Inc. (“Key”) and Oppenheimer & Co. Inc. (“Oppenheimer” and, together with Jefferies and Key, the “Initial Purchasers”) $285,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of 10% Senior Secured Notes due 2017 (each, a “Stage I Note” and, collectively, the “Stage I Notes”) in each case, in an aggregate principal amount of Stage I Notes set forth opposite the name of such Initial Purchaser on Schedule I hereto.  The Stage I Notes will be issued pursuant to an indenture (the “Stage I Indenture”), to be dated as of March 25, 2011, by and among the Stage I Issuer, Acquisition Co. and Wilmington Trust FSB (“Wilmington”), as trustee (in such capacity, the “Stage I Trustee”) and collateral agent (in such capacity, the “Stage I Collateral Agent”).  The proceeds of the Stage I Notes will be used to finance the acquisition by Acquisition Co. of all of the outstanding shares of common stock of Herley Industries, Inc. and its subsidiaries (each, a “Herley Entity” and collectively, “Herley”) pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of February 7, 2011 (the “Merger Agreement”), among Kratos, Acquisition Co. and Herley Industries, Inc. (the “Acquisition”), as well as to pay related fees and expenses, as described

 

 

under the captions “Use of Proceeds” and “The Transactions” in the Final Offering Memorandum.  The Stage I Notes will be guaranteed (the “Stage I Guarantees” and, together with the Stage I Notes, the “Stage I Securities”) by all of the Stage I Issuer’s existing and future direct and indirect Domestic Subsidiaries (other than Herley and its Domestic Subsidiaries until the fifteenth business day following the consummation of the Acquisition).  For purposes of this Agreement, Acquisition Co. and each of the Herley Entities (upon their becoming parties hereto pursuant to Section 7(g)) are collectively referred to as the “Stage I Guarantors.”  Capitalized terms used, but not defined herein, shall have the meanings set forth in the “Description of the Stage I Notes” section of the Final Offering Memorandum (as hereinafter defined).

 

On February 7, 2011, Kratos entered into an amendment to its credit agreement, dated as of May 29, 2010, among Kratos, the guarantors party thereto and the various lenders party thereto (as amended and supplemented from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”) to permit, among other things, the exchange of all of the outstanding Stage I Notes for its 10% Senior Secured Notes due 2017 (the “Stage II Notes” and, together with the Stage I Notes, the “Notes”) in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of such Stage I Notes to be issued under that certain indenture (the “Existing Kratos Indenture” and, together with the Stage I Indenture, the “Indentures”), dated as of May 19, 2010, among Kratos, the guarantors party thereto (the “Stage II Guarantors” and, together with the Stage I Guarantors, the “Guarantors”) and Wilmington, as trustee (in such capacity, the “Stage II Trustee” and, together with the Stage I Trustee, the “Trustee”) and collateral agent (in such capacity, the “Stage II Collateral Agent” and, together with the Stage I Collateral Agent, the “Collateral Agent”) and the consummation of the Acquisition.

 

On February 11, 2011, Kratos raised approximately $61.1 million in net proceeds from a public equity offering of its shares of common stock (the “Equity Offering”).

 

If more than a majority but less than 90% of all of the outstanding common shares of Herley have been validly tendered (on a fully-diluted basis) and not withdrawn pursuant to the tender offer for such shares launched by Acquisition Co. on February 25, 2011 (the “Tender Offer”) and purchased promptly after the closing of the Offering (the “Escrow Condition”), the Stage I Issuer will be required to place the net proceeds of the Offering, together with a $45.0 million capital contribution from Kratos to the Stage I Issuer made on the date of the consummation of the Offering, that remain following the application of such proceeds and contribution to purchase the shares of Herley tendered in the Tender Offer and pay fees and expenses in connection with the Offering and the Acquisition (the “Required Escrow Deposit”) into an escrow account that is a trust account, maintained by the Escrow Agent as a securities account (the “Escrow Account”) to secure the Stage I Notes pursuant to the escrow and security agreement, to be dated as of March 25, 2011 (the “Escrow Agreement”), among the Stage I Issuer, the Stage I Trustee and Wilmington, as escrow agent (the “Escrow Agent”).

 

Promptly following the consummation of the Acquisition, (i) the Stage I Issuer will merge with and into Kratos at which time Kratos will pursuant to a supplemental indenture to the Stage I Indenture assume the obligations of Intermediate Holdings under the Stage I Notes and the Stage I Indenture Documents and become the Stage I Issuer under the Stage I Indenture and (ii) Kratos, as the Stage I Issuer, will redeem all of the Stage I Notes by issuing in exchange therefor the Stage II Notes to be issued under the Existing Kratos Indenture in an aggregate

 

2

 

principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of such Stage I Notes (the “Stage II Notes Exchange Redemption”).  The Stage II Notes will form part of the same issue as, and be treated as a single class with, Kratos’ previously issued $225,000,000 10% Senior Secured Notes due 2017 (the “Existing Kratos Notes” and, together with the Stage II Notes, the “Kratos Notes”) issued under the Existing Kratos Indenture.  The Stage II Notes will be guaranteed by all of Kratos’ existing and future direct and indirect Domestic Subsidiaries (other than Discontinued Subsidiaries (as defined under the caption “Description of the Stage II Notes” in the Final Offering Memorandum) but including, for the avoidance of doubt, Herley (other than Foreign Subsidiaries (as defined under the caption “Description of the Stage II Notes” in the Final Offering Memorandum)) (the “Stage II Guarantees” and, together with the Stage II Notes, the “Stage II Securities” and, together with the Stage I Securities, the “Securities”).

 

The Stage I Notes will be offered and sold to the Initial Purchasers pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) thereunder (collectively, the “Securities Act”). Upon original issuance thereof, and until such time as the same is no longer required under the applicable requirements of the Securities Act, the Stage I Notes shall bear the legends set forth in the final offering memorandum, dated the date hereof (the “Final Offering Memorandum”).  Further, upon original issuance of the Stage II Notes in connection with the Stage II Notes Exchange Redemption, and until such time as the same is no longer required under the applicable requirements of the Securities Act, the Stage II Notes shall bear the legends set forth in the Final Offering Memorandum.  The Issuers have prepared a preliminary offering memorandum, dated March 21, 2011 (the “Preliminary Offering Memorandum”), (ii) a pricing term sheet, dated the date hereof, attached hereto as Schedule II, which includes pricing terms and other information with respect to the Stage I Notes (the “Pricing Supplement”), and (iii) the Final Offering Memorandum, in each case, relating to the offer and sale of the Stage I Notes (the “Offering”).  All references in this Agreement to the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, the Time of Sale Document or the Final Offering Memorandum include, unless expressly stated otherwise, (i) all amendments or supplements thereto, (ii) all documents, financial statements and schedules and other information contained, incorporated by reference or deemed incorporated by reference therein (and references in this Agreement to such information being “contained,” “included” or “stated” (and other references of like import) in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, the Time of Sale Document or the Final Offering Memorandum shall be deemed to mean all such information contained, incorporated by reference or deemed incorporated by reference therein), (iii) any electronic Time of Sale Document or Final Offering Memorandum and (iv) any offering memorandum “wrapper” to be used in connection with offers to sell, solicitations of offers to buy or sales of the Stage I Notes in non-U.S. jurisdictions.  The Preliminary Offering Memorandum and the Pricing Supplement are collectively referred to herein as the “Time of Sale Document.”

 

2.                                      Terms of Offering.  The Initial Purchasers have advised the Issuers, and the Issuers understand, that the Initial Purchasers will make offers to sell (the “Exempt Resales”) some or all of the Stage I Notes purchased by the Initial Purchasers hereunder on the terms set forth in the Final Offering Memorandum to persons (the “Subsequent Purchasers”) whom the Initial Purchasers reasonably believe (i) are “qualified institutional buyers” (“QIBs”) (as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act), or (ii) are not “U.S. persons” (as defined in Regulation S

 

3

 

under the Securities Act) and in compliance with the laws applicable to such persons in jurisdictions outside of the United States.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Stage I Collateral Agreements as defined under the caption “Description of the Stage I Notes” in the Final Offering Memorandum (the “Stage I Collateral Agreements”), until the consummation of the Acquisition and until Herley is required by the Stage I Indenture to pledge its assets (as described in the “Description of the Stage I Notes” section of the Final Offering Memorandum), all of the obligations under the Stage I Securities and the Stage I Indenture will be secured by a pledge of the shares of Acquisition Co., the remaining cash proceeds deposited in the Escrow Account, if any, received in the Offering and Acquisition Co.’s rights under the Merger Agreement.  Upon consummation of the Stage II Notes Exchange Redemption, all of the obligations under the Stage II Securities and the Existing Kratos Indenture will be secured by a lien and security interest in substantially all of the assets of Kratos and the Stage II Guarantors pursuant to the terms of the Stage II Collateral Agreements as defined under the caption “Description of the Stage II Notes” in the Final Offering Memorandum (the “Stage II Collateral Agreements” and, together with the Stage I Collateral Agreements, the “Collateral Agreements”).

 

Holders of the Notes (including Subsequent Purchasers) will have the registration rights set forth in the registration rights agreement applicable to the Stage I Notes and, if the Stage II Notes Exchange Redemption has been consummated, the Stage II Notes (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), which will be in a form to be agreed upon but to be substantially consistent with the registration rights agreement entered into in connection with the issuance of the Existing Kratos Notes with such conforming changes as are necessary to reflect the Registration Rights Agreement’s applicability to the Stage I Notes and the Stage II Notes, to be executed on and dated as of the Closing Date (as hereinafter defined). Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Issuers, Acquisition Co., the Stage II Guarantors (and following the execution and delivery of the joinder agreement thereto, Herley), will agree, among other things, to file with the SEC (a) a registration statement under the Securities Act (the “Exchange Offer Registration Statement”) relating to notes to be offered in exchange for the Stage I Notes or, if the Stage II Notes Exchange Redemption has been consummated, the Stage II Notes, as applicable (the “Exchange Notes”), and guarantees to be offered in exchange for the Stage I Guarantees or, if the Stage II Notes Exchange Redemption has been consummated, the Stage II Guarantees, as applicable (the “Exchange Guarantees”), which shall be identical to the Stage I Securities or the Stage II Securities, as the case may be, except that the Exchange Notes and Exchange Guarantees shall have been registered pursuant to the Exchange Offer Registration Statement and will not be subject to restrictions on transfer or contain additional interest provisions, (such offer to exchange being referred to as the “Exchange Offer”), and/or (b) under certain circumstances, a shelf registration statement pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act (the “Shelf Registration Statement”) relating to the resale by certain holders of the Stage I Notes or, if the Stage II Notes Exchange Redemption has been consummated, the Stage II Notes, as applicable. If required under the Registration Rights Agreement, the Stage I Issuer or, if the Stage II Notes Exchange Redemption has been consummated, the Stage II Issuer, will issue Exchange Notes to the Initial Purchasers (the “Private Exchange Notes”).  If the Stage I Issuer or the Stage II Issuer, as applicable, fails to satisfy its obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement, the Stage I Issuer or the Stage II Issuer, as applicable, will be required to pay additional interest to the holders of the Stage I Notes or, if the Stage II Notes Exchange

 

4

 

Redemption has been consummated, the Stage II Notes, under certain circumstances to be set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement.

 

This Agreement, the Indentures, the Collateral Agreements, the Registration Rights Agreement, the Notes, the Guarantees, the Escrow Agreement, the Engagement Letter dated February 7, 2011 (the “Engagement Letter”) between Kratos, Jefferies, Key and Oppenheimer, the Exchange Notes, the Exchange Guarantees and the Private Exchange Notes are collectively referred to herein as the “Documents”, and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby are collectively referred to herein as the “Transactions.”  Nothing in this Agreement should be read to limit or otherwise modify the terms and provisions of the Engagement Letter, provided that, in the event any terms of the Engagement Letter are inconsistent with or contradict any terms of this Agreement, this Agreement shall govern.

 

3.                                      Purchase, Sale and Delivery.  On the basis of the representations, warranties, agreements and covenants herein contained and subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, the Stage I Issuer agrees to issue and sell to the Initial Purchasers, and the Initial Purchasers agree to purchase from the Stage I Issuer, the Stage I Securities at a purchase price of 104.0575% of the aggregate principal amount thereof.  Delivery to the Initial Purchasers of and payment for the Stage I Securities shall be made at a closing (the “Closing”) to be held at 10:00 a.m., New York time, on March 25, 2011 (the “Closing Date”) at the New York offices of White & Case LLP (or such other place as shall be reasonably acceptable to the Initial Purchasers); provided, however, that if the Closing has not taken place on the Closing Date because of a failure to satisfy one or more of the conditions specified in Section 7 hereof and this Agreement has not otherwise been terminated by the Initial Purchasers in accordance with its terms, “Closing Date” shall mean 10:00 a.m. New York time on the first business day following the satisfaction (or waiver) of all such conditions after notification by Kratos to the Initial Purchasers of the satisfaction (or waiver) of such conditions.

 

The Stage I Issuer shall deliver to the Initial Purchasers one or more certificates representing the Stage I Securities in definitive form, registered in such names and denominations as the Initial Purchasers may request, against payment by the Initial Purchasers of the purchase price therefor by immediately available federal funds bank wire transfer to such bank account or accounts as the Stage I Issuer shall designate to the Initial Purchasers at least two business days prior to the Closing.  The certificates representing the Stage I Securities in definitive form shall be made available to the Initial Purchasers for inspection at the New York offices of White & Case LLP (or such other place as shall be reasonably acceptable to the Initial Purchasers) not later than 10:00 a.m. New York time, one business day immediately preceding the Closing Date. Stage I Securities to be represented by one or more definitive global securities in book-entry form will be deposited on the Closing Date, by or on behalf of the Stage I Issuer, with The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) or its designated custodian, and registered in the name of Cede & Co.  It is understood that each Initial Purchaser has authorized Jefferies, for its account, to accept delivery of, receipt for, and make payment of the purchase price for, the Stage I Notes which it has agreed to purchase. Jefferies, individually and not as representatives of the Initial Purchasers, may (but shall not be obligated to) make payment of the purchase price for the Stage I Notes to be purchased by any Initial Purchaser whose funds have not been received by the Closing Date, but such payment shall not relieve such Initial Purchaser from its obligations hereunder.

4.                                      Representations and Warranties of the Issuers and the Guarantors.  Each of the Issuers and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, represents and warrants to, and agrees with, each of the Initial Purchasers that, as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date:

 

(a)                                  Offering Materials Furnished to Initial Purchasers.

(iii)                               As of the Closing Date, there will be no currently effective financing statement, security agreement, chattel mortgage, real estate mortgage or other document filed or recorded with any filing records, registry, or other public office, that purports to cover, affect or give notice of any present or possible future Lien on any assets or property of the Issuers, any Guarantor or any Subsidiary or any rights thereunder, except for Permitted Liens.

 

(iv)                              All information certified by an officer of Kratos in the Perfection Certificate to be executed prior to the Closing Date and delivered by such officer on behalf of Kratos is true and correct both as of the date thereof and as of the Closing Date.

 

(v)                                 The Mortgages will be effective to grant a legal and valid mortgage Lien on all of the mortgagor’s right, title and interest in each of the “Mortgaged Properties” (as defined in the Collateral Agreements).  When the Mortgages are duly recorded in the proper recorders’ offices or appropriate public records and the mortgage

 

15

 

recording fees and taxes in respect thereof are paid and compliance is otherwise had with the formal requirements of state or local law applicable to the recording of real estate mortgages generally, each such Mortgage shall constitute a valid, perfected and enforceable security interest in the related Mortgage Property in each case prior and superior in right to any other Person therein, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, subject only to Permitted Liens, except that the enforcement thereof may be subject to (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect relating to creditors’ rights generally and (ii) general principles of equity (whether applied by a court of law or equity) and the discretion of the court before which any proceeding therefor may be brought.  The title insurance policies and surveys related to the Mortgage shall have been delivered to the Stage I Collateral Agent pursuant to the “Description of the Stage I Notes — Certain Covenants — Real Estate Mortgages and Filings” in the Final Offering Memorandum.

 

(vi)                              The representations and warranties of each of the Issuers, Acquisition Co., the Stage II Guarantors and, upon the consummation of the Acquisition, Herley, in the Collateral Agreements are true and correct (if such representations and warranties are not already qualified with respect to materiality) in all material respects.

 

(y)                                 Compliance with Existing Instruments.  None of Kratos, any of its Subsidiaries or any Herley Entity is (i) in violation of its certificate of incorporation, by-laws or other organizational documents (the “Charter Documents”); (ii) in violation of any U.S. or non-U.S. federal, state or local statute, law (including, without limitation, common law) or ordinance, or any judgment, decree, rule, regulation, order or injunction (collectively, “Applicable Law”) of any U.S. or non-U.S. federal, state, local or other governmental or regulatory authority, governmental or regulatory agency or body, court, arbitrator or self-regulatory organization (each, a “Governmental Authority”), applicable to any of them or any of their respective properties; or (iii) in breach of or default under any bond, debenture, note, loan or other evidence of indebtedness, indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, lease or any other agreement or instrument to which any of them is a party or by which any of them or their respective properties are bound (collectively, the “Applicable Agreements”), except, in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) for such violations, breaches or defaults that would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. There exists no condition that, with the passage of time or otherwise, would constitute (a) a violation of such Charter Documents or Applicable Laws, (b) a breach of or default or a “Debt Repayment Triggering Event” (as defined below) under any Applicable Agreement or (c) result in the imposition of any penalty or the acceleration of any indebtedness. As used herein, a “Debt Repayment Triggering Event” means any event or condition that gives, or with the giving of notice or lapse of time would give, the holder of any note, debenture or other evidence of indebtedness (or any person acting on such holder’s behalf) the right to require the repurchase, redemption or repayment of all or a portion of such indebtedness by Kratos, any of its Subsidiaries, any Herley Entity or any of their respective properties.

 

16

 

(z)                                   No Conflicts.  Neither the execution, delivery or performance of the Documents nor the consummation of any of the Transactions will conflict with, violate, constitute a breach of or a default (with the passage of time or otherwise) or a Debt Repayment Triggering Event under, or result in the imposition of a Lien on any assets of Kratos, any of its Subsidiaries and, upon consummation of the Acquisition, any Herley Entity (except for Permitted Liens or Liens pursuant to the Collateral Agreements), the imposition of any penalty or a Debt Repayment Triggering Event under or pursuant to (i) the Charter Documents, (ii) any Applicable Agreement, (iii) any Applicable Law or (iv) any order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, determination or award binding upon or affecting Kratos, its Subsidiaries or, upon consummation of the Acquisition, any Herley Entity.  After consummation of the Offering and the Transactions, no Default or Event of Default will exist.

 

(aa)                            No Consents.  No consent, approval, authorization, order, filing or registration of or with any Governmental Authority or third party is required for execution, delivery or performance of the Documents or the consummation of the Transactions, except such (i) those that have been official or made, as the case may be, that are in full force and effect, (ii) as may be required under the securities or “Blue Sky” laws of U.S. state or non-U.S. jurisdictions or other non-U.S. laws applicable to the purchase of the Securities outside the U.S. in connection with the Transactions, (iii) those contemplated by the Registration Rights Agreement and the Collateral Agreements; and (iv) or the filing of a Current Report on Form 8-K with the SEC as may be required under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, as the case may be, regarding the Documents and the Transactions.

 

(bb)                          No Material Applicable Laws or Proceedings.  Except as disclosed in the Time of Sale Document and the Final Offering Memorandum, there is no action, claim, suit, demand, hearing, notice of violation or deficiency, or proceeding pending or, to the knowledge of Kratos or any of its Subsidiaries, after due inquiry, threatened or contemplated by Governmental Authorities or threatened by others (collectively, “Proceedings”) that, would, as of the date hereof and at the Closing Date, restrain, enjoin, prevent or interfere with the consummation of the Offering or any of the Transactions or (B) would, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

(cc)                            All Necessary Permits.  Each of Kratos, its Subsidiaries and each Herley Entity possesses all licenses, permits, certificates, consents, orders, approvals and other authorizations from, and has made all declarations and filings with, all Governmental Authorities, presently required or necessary to own or lease, as the case may be, and to operate its properties and to carry on its businesses as now or proposed to be conducted as described in the Time of Sale Document and the Final Offering Memorandum (“Permits”), except where the failure to possess such Permits would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect; each of Kratos, its Subsidiaries and each Herley Entity has fulfilled and performed all of its obligations with respect to such Permits; no event has occurred which allows, or after notice or lapse of time would allow, revocation or termination of any such Permit or has resulted, or after notice or lapse of time would result, in any other material impairment of the rights of the holder of any such Permit; and none of Kratos, any of its Subsidiaries or any Herley Entity has received or has any reason to believe it will receive any notice of any proceeding relating to revocation or

 

17

 

modification of any such Permit, except as described in the Time of Sale Document and the Final Offering Memorandum or except where such revocation or modification would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

(dd)                          Title to Properties. Each of Kratos, its Subsidiaries and Herley has good, marketable and valid title to all real property owned by it and good title to all personal property owned by it and good and valid title to all leasehold estates in real and personal property being leased by it and, as of the Closing Date, will be free and clear of all Liens other than Permitted Liens. All Applicable Agreements to which Kratos or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which any of them is bound are valid and enforceable against each of Kratos or such Subsidiary, as applicable, and are valid and enforceable against the other party or parties thereto and are in full force and effect with only such exceptions as would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

(ee)                            Tax Law Compliance.  All Tax (as hereinafter defined) returns required to be filed by Kratos, each of its Subsidiaries and each Herley Entity have been filed and all such returns are true, complete and correct in all material respects.  All material Taxes that are due from Kratos, its Subsidiaries and Herley have been paid other than those (i) currently payable without penalty or interest or (ii) being contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings and for which adequate accruals have been established in accordance with GAAP. To the knowledge of Kratos, after due inquiry, there are no actual or proposed Tax assessments against Kratos, any of its Subsidiaries or any Herley Entity that would, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. The accruals on the books and records of Kratos, its Subsidiaries and Herley in respect of any material Tax liability for any period not finally determined are adequate to meet any assessments of Tax for any such period. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Tax” and “Taxes” shall mean all U.S. and non-U.S. federal, state, local and taxes, and other assessments of a similar nature (whether imposed directly or through withholding), including any interest, additions to tax or penalties applicable thereto.

 

(ff)                                Intellectual Property Rights.  Each of Kratos, its Subsidiaries and Herley owns, or is licensed under, and has the right to use, all patents, patent rights, licenses, inventions, copyrights, know-how (including trade secrets and other unpatented and/or unpatentable proprietary or confidential information, systems or procedures), trademarks, service marks, domain names and trade names (collectively, “Intellectual Property”) necessary for the conduct of its businesses and, as of the Closing Date, the Intellectual Property will be free and clear of all Liens, other than Permitted Liens.  None of Kratos, its Subsidiaries or any Herley Entity is a party to, or bound by, any options, licenses or agreements with respect to the intellectual property rights of any other person or entity that are necessary to be described in the Time of Sale Document or the Final Offering Memorandum to avoid a material misstatement or omission and are not described therein.  No claims or notices of any potential claim have been asserted by any person challenging the use of any such Intellectual Property by Kratos, any of its Subsidiaries or any Herley Entity or questioning the validity or effectiveness of any Intellectual Property or any license or agreement related thereto, other than any claims that, if successful, would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.  None of the intellectual property used by Kratos, any of its Subsidiaries or any Herley Entity has been obtained or

 

18

 

is hereby used by Kratos, any of its Subsidiaries or any Herley Entity in violation of any contractual obligation binding on Kratos, any of its Subsidiaries or any Herley Entity or, to Kratos’ or any of its Subsidiaries’ knowledge, their respective officers, directors or employees or otherwise in violation of the rights of any person.

 

(gg)                          ERISA Matters.  Each of Kratos, its Subsidiaries, each Herley Entity and each ERISA Affiliate (as hereinafter defined) has fulfilled its obligations, if any, under the minimum funding standards of Section 302 of the United States Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”) with respect to each “pension plan” (as defined in Section 3(2) of ERISA), subject to Section 302 of ERISA, which Kratos, its Subsidiaries or any ERISA Affiliate sponsors or maintains, or with respect to which it has (or within the last three years had) any obligation to make contributions, and each such plan is in compliance in all material respects with the presently applicable provisions of ERISA and the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).  None of Kratos, its Subsidiaries or any ERISA Affiliate has incurred any unpaid liability to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (other than for the payment of premiums in the ordinary course) or to any such plan under Title IV of ERISA.  “ERISA Affiliate” means a corporation, trade or business that is, along with Kratos or any Subsidiary, a member of a controlled group of corporations or a controlled group of trades or businesses, as described in Section 414 of the Code or Section 4001 of ERISA.

 

(hh)                          Labor Matters.  (i) Other than as disclosed in the Time of Sale Document and Final Offering Memorandum, none of Kratos, any of its Subsidiaries or any Herley Entity is party to or bound by any collective bargaining agreement with any labor organization; (ii) there is no union representation question existing with respect to the employees of Kratos, its Subsidiaries or Herley, and, to the knowledge of Kratos, after due inquiry, no union organizing activities are taking place that, could, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect; (iii) to the knowledge of Kratos, after due inquiry, no union organizing or decertification efforts are underway or threatened against Kratos, its Subsidiaries or Herley; (iv) no labor strike, work stoppage, slowdown or other material labor dispute is pending against Kratos, its Subsidiaries or Herley, or, to Kratos’ knowledge, after due inquiry, threatened against Kratos, its Subsidiaries or Herley; (v) there is no worker’s compensation liability, experience or matter that could be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; (vi) to the knowledge of Kratos, after due inquiry, there is no threatened or pending liability against Kratos, its Subsidiaries or Herley pursuant to the Worker Adjustment Retraining and Notification Act of 1988, as amended (“WARN”), or any similar state or local law; (vii) there is no employment-related charge, complaint, grievance, investigation, unfair labor practice claim or inquiry of any kind, pending against Kratos, its Subsidiaries or Herley that could, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect; (viii) to the knowledge of Kratos and its Subsidiaries, after due inquiry, no employee or agent of Kratos, its Subsidiaries or Herley has committed any act or omission giving rise to liability for any violation identified in subsection (vi) and (vii) above, other than such acts or omissions that would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect; and (ix) no term or condition of employment exists through arbitration awards, settlement agreements or side agreement that is contrary to the express terms of any applicable collective bargaining agreement.

 

19

 

(ii)                                  Compliance with Environmental Laws.  Except as disclosed in the Time of Sale Document and the Final Offering Memorandum, each of Kratos, its Subsidiaries and Herley is (i) in compliance with any and all applicable U.S. or non-U.S. federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to health and safety, or the pollution or the protection of the environment or hazardous or toxic substances of wastes, pollutants or contaminants (“Environmental Laws”), (ii) has received and is in compliance with all permits, licenses or other approvals required of them under applicable Environmental Laws to conduct its respective businesses and (iii) has not received notice of, and is not aware of, any actual or potential liability for damages to natural resources or the investigation or remediation of any disposal, release or existence of hazardous or toxic substances or wastes, pollutants or contaminants, in each case except where such non-compliance with Environmental Laws, failure to receive and comply with required permits, licenses or other approvals, or liability would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.  Except as disclosed in the Time of Sale Document and the Final Offering Memorandum, none of Kratos, any of its Subsidiaries or any Herley Entity has been named as a “potentially responsible party” under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980, as amended, or any similar U.S. or non-U.S. state or local Environmental Laws or regulation requiring Kratos, any of its Subsidiaries or any Herley Entity to investigate or remediate any pollutants or contaminants, except where such requirements would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect, whether or not arising from transactions in the ordinary course of business.  In the ordinary course of its business, each of Kratos and Herley periodically reviews the effects of Environmental Laws on the business, operations and properties of Kratos and its Subsidiaries and Herley, respectively, in the course of which it identifies and evaluates associated costs and liabilities (including, without limitation, any capital or operating expenditures required for clean-up, closure of properties or compliance with Environmental Laws, or any permit, license or approval, any related constraints on operating activities and any potential liabilities to third parties).  On the basis of such review, Kratos and, to Kratos’ knowledge, Herley have reasonably concluded that such associated costs would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

(jj)                                  Insurance.  Each of Kratos, its Subsidiaries and each Herley Entity is insured by insurers of recognized financial responsibility against such losses and risks and in such amounts as are prudent and customary in the businesses in which it is engaged.  All policies of insurance insuring Kratos, any of its Subsidiaries or any Herley Entity or their respective businesses, assets, employees, officers and directors are in full force and effect.  Kratos, its Subsidiaries and Herley are in compliance with the terms of such policies and instruments in all material respects, and there are no claims by Kratos, any of its Subsidiaries or any Herley Entity under any such policy or instrument as to which any insurance company is denying liability or defending under a reservation of rights clause.  None of Kratos, any of its Subsidiaries or any Herley Entity has been refused any insurance coverage sought or applied for, and none of Kratos, any of its Subsidiaries or any Herley Entity has any reason to believe that it will not be able to renew its existing insurance coverage as and when such coverage expires or to obtain similar coverage from similar insurers as may be necessary to continue its business at a cost that would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

20

 

(kk)                            Accounting System.  Each of Kratos, its Subsidiaries and each Herley Entity makes and keeps accurate books and records and maintains a system of internal accounting controls and procedures sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that (i) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization, (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP, and to maintain asset accountability, (iii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any material differences.  Kratos’ management concluded that Kratos’ internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 26, 2010, and since that date the independent auditors and board of directors of Kratos have been advised of: (i) all “material weaknesses” and “significant deficiencies” (each, as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act), if any, in the design or operation of Kratos’ internal control over financial reporting which are reasonably likely to adversely affect Kratos’ ability to record, process, summarize and report financial information and (ii) any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a role in Kratos’ internal control over financial reporting (whether or not remediated).  Except as disclosed in the Time of Sale Document and the Final Offering Memorandum, as of the date hereof there are no material weaknesses in Kratos’ internal control over financial reporting.  Since the date of the most recent evaluation of Kratos’ disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, there have been no changes in Kratos’ internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, Kratos’ internal control over financial reporting.

 

(ll)                                  Use of Proceeds; Solvency; Going Concern.  All indebtedness represented by the Securities is being incurred for proper purposes and in good faith. On the Closing Date, after giving pro forma effect to the Offering and the use of proceeds therefrom described under the caption “Use of Proceeds” in the Time of Sale Document and Final Offering Memorandum, the Issuers, the Stage II Guarantors, Acquisition Co. and, upon consummation of the Acquisition, each Herley Entity, (i) will be Solvent (as hereinafter defined), (ii) will have sufficient capital for carrying on its business and (iii) will be able to pay its debts as they mature.  As used in this paragraph, the term “Solvent” means, with respect to a particular date, that on such date (i) the present fair market value (or present fair saleable value) of the assets of the Issuers, the Stage II Guarantors, Acquisition Co. and, upon consummation of the Acquisition, each Herley Entity, is not less than the total amount required to pay the liabilities of the Issuers and each Guarantor on its total existing debts and liabilities (including contingent liabilities) as they become absolute and matured; (ii) the Issuers, the Stage II Guarantors, Acquisition Co. and, upon consummation of the Acquisition, each Herley Entity,  is able to pay its debts and other liabilities, contingent obligations and commitments as they mature and become due in the normal course of business; (iii) assuming consummation of the issuance of the Securities as contemplated by this Agreement and the Time of Sale Document and Final Offering Memorandum, none of the Issuers, the Stage II Guarantors, Acquisition Co. and, upon consummation of the Acquisition, each Herley Entity, is incurring debts or liabilities beyond its ability to pay as such debts and liabilities mature; (iv) none of the Issuers, the Stage II Guarantors, Acquisition Co. and, upon consummation of the Acquisition, each

 

21

 

Herley Entity, is engaged in any business or transaction, and does not propose to engage in any business or transaction, for which its property would constitute unreasonably small capital after giving due consideration to the prevailing practice in the industry in which the Issuers, the Stage II Guarantors, Acquisition Co. or any Herley Entity is engaged; and (v) none of the Issuers, the Stage II Guarantors, Acquisition Co. and, upon consummation of the Acquisition, any Herley Entity is otherwise insolvent under the standards set forth in Applicable Laws.

 

(mm)                      No Price Stabilization or Manipulation.  Neither Kratos nor any of its Affiliates has and, to Kratos’ knowledge, after due inquiry, no one acting on its behalf has, (i) taken, directly or indirectly, any action designed to cause or to result in, or that has constituted or which might reasonably be expected to constitute, the stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of Kratos, whether to facilitate the sale or resale of any of the Stage I Securities or otherwise, (ii) sold, bid for, purchased, or paid anyone any compensation for soliciting purchases of, any of the Stage I Securities, or (iii) except as disclosed in the Time of Sale Document and the Final Offering Memorandum, paid or agreed to pay to any person any compensation for soliciting another to purchase any other securities of Kratos.

 

(nn)                          No Registration Required Under the Securities Act or Qualification Under the TIA.  Without limiting any provision herein, no registration under the Securities Act and no qualification of the Stage I Indenture under the TIA is required for the offer or sale of the Stage I Securities to the Initial Purchasers as contemplated hereby or for the Exempt Resales, assuming (i) that the purchasers in the Exempt Resales are QIBs or are not “U.S. persons” (as defined under Regulation S of the Securities Act) and (ii) the accuracy of each Initial Purchaser’s representations contained herein regarding the absence of general solicitation in connection with the sale of the Stage I Securities to the Initial Purchasers and in the Exempt Resales.  No registration under the Securities Act is required for the issuance of the Stage II Notes in connection with the Stage II Notes Exchange Redemption.

 

(oo)                          No Integration.  The Securities will be, upon issuance, eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act and no other securities of either Issuer are of the same class (within the meaning of Rule 144A under the Securities Act) as the Securities and listed on a national securities exchange registered under Section 6 of the Exchange Act, or quoted in a U.S. automated inter-dealer quotation system.  No securities of either Issuer of the same class as the Securities have been offered, issued or sold by Kratos or any of its Affiliates within the six-month period immediately prior to the date hereof; and Kratos does not have any intention of making, and will not make, an offer or sale of such securities of either Issuer of the same class as the Securities, for a period of six months after the date of this Agreement, except for the offering of the Securities as contemplated by this Agreement or the Registration Rights Agreement.  As used in this paragraph, the terms “offer” and “sale” have the meanings specified in Section 2(a)(3) of the Securities Act.

 

(pp)                          No Directed Selling Efforts.  None of Kratos, any of its Affiliates or other person acting on behalf of Kratos has, with respect to Stage I Securities sold outside the United States,

 

22

 

offered the Stage I Securities to buyers qualifying as “U.S. persons” (as defined in Rule 902 under the Securities Act) or engaged in any directed selling efforts within the meaning of Rule 902 under the Securities Act; each of Kratos, Affiliates of Kratos and any persons acting on behalf of Kratos has complied with and will implement the “offering restrictions” within the meaning of such Rule 902; and neither Kratos nor any of its Affiliates has entered or will enter into any arrangement or agreement with respect to the distribution of the Stage I Securities, except for this Agreement; provided that no representation is made in this paragraph with respect to the actions of the Initial Purchasers.

 

(qq)                          No Applicable Registration or Other Similar Rights.  There are no persons with registration or other similar rights to have any equity or debt securities of Kratos or any “Affiliate” registered for sale under a registration statement, except for rights (i) contained in the Registration Rights Agreement or (ii) as have been duly waived.

 

(rr)                                Margin Requirements.  None of the Transactions or the application of the proceeds of the Stage I Securities will violate or result in a violation of Section 7 of the Exchange Act (including, without limitation, Regulation T (12 C.F.R. Part 220), Regulation U (12 C.F.R. Part 221) or Regulation X (12 C.F.R. Part 224) of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System).

 

(ss)                            Investment Company Act.  Each of the Issuers has been advised of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder (collectively, the “Investment Company Act”); as of the date hereof and, after giving effect to the Offering and the use of proceeds of the Offering, none of Herley, either Issuer, or the Subsidiaries is or will be, individually or on a consolidated basis, an “investment company” that is required to be registered under the Investment Company Act; and following the Closing Date, each of Herley, the Issuers and the Subsidiaries will conduct its business in a manner so as not to be required to register under the Investment Company Act.

 

(tt)                                No Brokers.  Neither Kratos nor any of its Affiliates has engaged any broker, finder, commission agent or other person (other than the Initial Purchasers or their affiliates) in connection with the Offering or any of the Transactions, and neither Kratos nor any of its Affiliates is under any obligation to pay any broker’s fee or commission in connection with such Transactions (other than commissions or fees to the Initial Purchasers or their affiliates).

 

(uu)                          No Restrictions on Payments of Dividends.  As of the Closing Date, except as otherwise disclosed in the Time of Sale Document and the Final Offering Memorandum, there will be no encumbrances or restrictions on the ability of any Subsidiary of Kratos or, upon the consummation of the Acquisition, any Herley Entity (x) to pay dividends or make other distributions on the capital stock of such Subsidiary or Herley Entity, as applicable, or to pay any indebtedness to Kratos, any other Subsidiary of Kratos or any other Herley Entity, (y) to make loans or advances or pay any indebtedness to, or investments in, Kratos, any other Subsidiary or any other Herley Entity or (z) to transfer any of its property or assets to Kratos, any other Subsidiary of Kratos or any Herley Entity.

 

23

 

(vv)                          Sarbanes-Oxley.  There is and has been no failure on the part of Kratos and its Subsidiaries or any of the officers and directors of Kratos or any of its Subsidiaries, in their capacities as such, to comply with the applicable provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the rules and regulations promulgated in connection therewith.

 

(ww)                      Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.

8.             Indemnification and Contribution.

 

(a)                                  Indemnification by the Issuers and the Guarantors.  Each of the Issuers and Guarantors jointly and severally agree to indemnify and hold harmless each Initial Purchaser, its affiliates, directors, officers and employees, and each person, if any, who controls such Initial Purchaser within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of 

 

36

 

the Exchange Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities of any kind to which such Initial Purchaser, affiliate, director, officer, employee or such controlling person may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state statutory law or regulation, or at common law or otherwise (including in settlement of any litigation, if such settlement is effected with the written consent of Kratos, insofar as any such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon:

 

(i)                                     any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Time of Sale Document, any Company Additional Written Communication or the Final Offering Memorandum, or any amendment or supplement thereto; or

 

(ii)                                  the omission or alleged omission to state, in the Time of Sale Document, any Company Additional Written Communication or the Final Offering Memorandum, or any amendment or supplement thereto, a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

 

and, subject to the provisions hereof, will reimburse, as incurred, such Initial Purchaser and its affiliates, directors, officers, employees and each such controlling persons for any legal or other expenses incurred by such person in connection with investigating, defending against, settling, compromising, paying or appearing as a third-party witness in connection with any such loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or action in respect thereof; provided, however, the Issuers and the Guarantors will not be liable in any such case to the extent (but only to the extent) that a court of competent jurisdiction shall have determined by a final, unappealable judgment that such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense resulted solely from any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in the Time of Sale Document, any Company Additional Written Communication or the Final Offering Memorandum or any amendment or supplement thereto in reliance upon and in conformity with written information concerning the Initial Purchasers furnished to Kratos by the Initial Purchasers specifically for use therein, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by the Initial Purchasers to Kratos consists of the information set forth in Section 13.  The indemnity agreement set forth in this Section shall be in addition to any liability that the Issuers and the Guarantors may otherwise have to the indemnified parties.

 

(b)                                 Indemnification by the Initial Purchasers.  Each Initial Purchaser agrees severally and not jointly to indemnify and hold harmless each of the Issuers, each of the Guarantors and their respective directors, officers and each person, if any, who controls Kratos within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses to which such Issuer, such Guarantor or any such director, officer or controlling person may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as a court of competent jurisdiction shall have determined by a final, unappealable judgment that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) have resulted solely from (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained 

 

37

 

in the Time of Sale Document or the Final Offering Memorandum or any amendment or supplement thereto or (ii) the omission or the alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, in each case to the extent (but only to the extent) that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information concerning the Initial Purchasers furnished to Kratos by the Initial Purchasers specifically for use therein as set forth in Section 13; and, subject to the limitation set forth immediately preceding this clause, will reimburse, as incurred, any legal or other expenses incurred by the Issuers, each of the Guarantors or any such director, officer or controlling person in connection with any such loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or action in respect thereof.  The indemnity agreement set forth in this Section shall be in addition to any liability that the Initial Purchasers may otherwise have to the indemnified parties.

 

(c)                                  Notifications and Other Indemnification Procedures.  As promptly as reasonably practicable after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section of notice of the commencement of any action for which such indemnified party is entitled to indemnification under this Section, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section, notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof in writing; but the omission to so notify the indemnifying party (i) will not relieve such indemnifying party from any liability under Section 8(a) or (b) above unless and only to the extent it is materially prejudiced as a proximate result thereof and (ii) will not, in any event, relieve the indemnifying party from any obligations to any indemnified party other than the indemnification obligation provided in Section 8(a) and (b) above.  In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it may elect, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified by written notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party; provided, however, that if (i) the use of counsel chosen by the indemnifying party to represent the indemnified party would present such counsel with a conflict of interest, (ii) the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party, and the indemnified party shall have concluded that a conflict may arise between the positions of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party in conducting the defense of any such action or that there may be one or more legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, or (iii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after receipt by the indemnifying party of notice of the institution of such action, then, in each such case, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties and such indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to defend such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties at the expense of the indemnifying party.  After notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof and approval by such indemnified party of counsel appointed to defend 

 

38

 

such action, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section for any legal or other expenses, other than reasonable costs of investigation, subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof, unless (i) the indemnified party shall have employed separate counsel in accordance with the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence (it being understood, however, that in connection with such action the indemnifying party shall not be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate counsel (in addition to local counsel) in any one action or separate but substantially similar actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, designated by the Initial Purchasers in the case of Section 8(a) or Kratos in the case of Section 8(b), representing the indemnified parties under such Section 8(a) or (b), as the case may be, who are parties to such action or actions), (ii) the indemnifying party has authorized in writing the employment of counsel for the indemnified party at the expense of the indemnifying party or (iii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of the action, in each of which cases the fees and expenses of counsel shall be at the expense of the indemnifying party and shall be paid as they are incurred.  After such notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party, the indemnifying party will not be liable for the costs and expenses of any settlement of such action effected by such indemnified party without the prior written consent of the indemnifying party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), unless such indemnified party waived in writing its rights under this Section, in which case the indemnified party may effect such a settlement without such consent.

 

(d)                                 Settlements.  No indemnifying party shall be liable under this Section for any settlement of any claim or action (or threatened claim or action) effected without its written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, but if a claim or action settled with its written consent, or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff with respect to any such claim or action, each indemnifying party jointly and severally agrees, subject to the exceptions and limitations set forth above, to indemnify and hold harmless each indemnified party from and against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities (and legal and other expenses as set forth above) incurred by reason of such settlement or judgment.  No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), effect any settlement or compromise of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which the indemnified party is or could have been a party, or indemnity could have been sought hereunder by the indemnified party, unless such settlement (A) includes an unconditional written release of the indemnified party, in form and substance satisfactory to the indemnified party, from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding and (B) does not include any statement as to an admission of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of the indemnified party.

 

(e)                                  Contribution.  In circumstances in which the indemnity agreements provided for in this Section is unavailable to, or insufficient to hold harmless, an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof), each indemnifying party, in order to provide for just and equitable contributions, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such 

 

39

 

losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect (i) the relative benefits received by the indemnifying party or parties, on the one hand, and the indemnified party, on the other hand, from the Offering or (ii) if the allocation provided by the foregoing clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the indemnifying party or parties, on the one hand, and the indemnified party, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions or alleged statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof).  The relative benefits received by the Issuers and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other hand, shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total proceeds from the Offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Stage I Issuer bear to the total discounts and commissions received by the Initial Purchasers. The relative fault of the parties shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Issuers and the Guarantors, on the one hand, or the Initial Purchasers pursuant to Section 8(b) above, on the other hand, the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission or alleged statement or omissions, and any other equitable considerations appropriate in the circumstances.

 

(f)                                    Equitable Consideration.  The Issuers, the Guarantors and the Initial Purchasers agree that it would not be equitable if the amount of such contribution determined pursuant to Section 8(e) were determined by pro rata or per capita allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in Section 8(e). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, the Initial Purchasers shall not be obligated to make contributions hereunder that in the aggregate exceed the total discounts, commissions and other compensation received by such Initial Purchasers under this Agreement, less the aggregate amount of any damages that such Initial Purchasers have otherwise been required to pay by reason of the untrue or alleged untrue statements or the omissions or alleged omissions to state a material fact.  No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Initial Purchasers’ obligation to contribute hereunder shall be several in proportion to their respective purchase obligations hereunder and not joint. For purposes of Section 8(e), each director, officer and employee of each Initial Purchaser, and each person, if any, who controls such Initial Purchaser within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, shall have the same rights to contribution as the Initial Purchasers, and each director, officer and employee of the Issuers and the Guarantors, and each person, if any, who controls an Issuer or any of the Guarantors within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, shall have the same rights to contribution as the Issuers and the Guarantors.

 

9.             Termination.  Jefferies may terminate this Agreement at any time prior to the Closing Date by written notice to Kratos if any of the events described in Sections 7(g) (No Material Adverse Change), 7(h) (No Hostilities) or 7(i) (No Suspension in Trading; Banking 

 

40

 

Moratorium) shall have occurred or if the Initial Purchasers shall decline to purchase the Stage I Securities for any reason permitted by this Agreement.  The Issuers may terminate this Agreement on the Closing Date by written notice to Jefferies if less than a majority of all of the outstanding shares of common stock of Herley have been validly tendered (on a fully-diluted basis) pursuant to the Tender Offer on or prior to the Closing Date.  Any termination pursuant to this Section shall be without liability on the part of (a) the Issuers or the Guarantors to the Initial Purchasers, except that the Issuers and the Guarantors shall be obligated to reimburse the expenses of the Initial Purchasers pursuant to Section 5(f) hereof; provided, however that if the Issuers terminate this Agreement pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence then no such reimbursement obligation shall exist hereunder (but Kratos acknowledges and agrees that to the extent such expenses are reimbursable under the Debt Financing Letters (as defined in the Commitment Letter), such expenses shall continue to be reimbursable thereunder in accordance with the terms thereof), or (b) the Initial Purchasers to the Issuers or the Guarantors, except, in the case of each of clauses (a) and (b), that the provisions of Sections 9 and 10 hereof shall at all times be effective and shall survive such termination.

 

10.          Survival.  The representations and warranties, covenants, indemnities and contribution and expense reimbursement provisions and other agreements of the Issuers and the Guarantors set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect, and will survive, regardless of (i) any investigation, or statement as to the results thereof, made by or on behalf of the Initial Purchasers, (ii) the acceptance of the Stage I Securities, and payment for them hereunder, and (iii) any termination of this Agreement.

 

11.          Defaulting Initial Purchaser.  If, on the Closing Date, any one of the Initial Purchasers shall fail or refuse to purchase Stage I Securities that it or they have agreed to purchase hereunder on such date, and the aggregate principal amount of Stage I Securities which such defaulting Initial Purchaser agreed but failed or refused to purchase is not more than one tenth of the aggregate principal amount of Stage I Securities to be purchased on such date, the other Initial Purchasers shall be obligated severally in the proportions that the principal amount of Stage I Securities set forth opposite their respective names in Schedule I hereto bears to the aggregate principal amount of Stage I Securities set forth opposite the names of all such non-defaulting Initial Purchasers to purchase the Stage I Securities which such defaulting Initial Purchaser agreed but failed or refused to purchase on such date. If, on the Closing Date any Initial Purchaser shall fail or refuse to purchase Stage I Securities which it or they have agreed to purchase hereunder on such date and the aggregate principal amount of Stage I Securities with respect to which such default occurs is more than one tenth of the aggregate principal amount of Stage I Securities to be purchased on such date, and arrangements satisfactory to the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers and Kratos for the purchase of such Stage I Securities are not made within 36 hours after such default, this Agreement shall terminate without liability on the part of the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers or of the Issuers or any Guarantor. Any action taken under this Section shall not relieve any defaulting Initial Purchaser from liability in respect of any default of such Initial Purchaser under this Agreement.

 

12.          No Fiduciary Relationship.  The Issuers and the Guarantors hereby acknowledge that each Initial Purchaser is acting solely as initial purchaser in connection with the purchase and sale of the Stage I Securities. The Issuers and the Guarantors further acknowledge that each Initial Purchaser is acting pursuant to a contractual relationship created solely by this Agreement 

 

41

 

entered into on an arm’s length basis, and in no event do the parties intend that the Initial Purchasers act or be responsible as a fiduciary to either the Issuers, the Guarantors or their respective management, stockholders or creditors or any other person in connection with any activity that the Initial Purchasers may undertake or have undertaken in furtherance of the purchase and sale of the Stage I Securities, either before or after the date hereof.  The Initial Purchasers hereby expressly disclaim any fiduciary or similar obligations to either the Issuers or the Guarantors, either in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any matters leading up to such transactions, and the Issuers and the Guarantors hereby confirm their understanding and agreement to that effect. The Issuers, the Guarantors and the Initial Purchasers agree that they are each responsible for making their own independent judgments with respect to any such transactions and that any opinions or views expressed by the Initial Purchasers to the Issuers and the Guarantors regarding such transactions, including, but not limited to, any opinions or views with respect to the price or market for the Securities, do not constitute advice or recommendations to the Issuers and the Guarantors. The Issuers and the Guarantors hereby waive and release, to the fullest permitted by law, any claims that either the Issuers or the Guarantors may have against the Initial Purchasers with respect to any breach or alleged breach of any fiduciary or similar duty to the Issuers or the Guarantors in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any matters leading up to such transactions.

 

13.          Information Supplied by Initial Purchasers.  Each of the Issuers and the Guarantors hereby acknowledges that, for purposes of Section 4(c) and Section 8, the only information that the Initial Purchasers have furnished to Kratos specifically for use in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum or the Final Offering Memorandum are the statements set forth in (a) the first sentence of the sixth paragraph and (b) the first sentence of the eighth paragraph under the caption “Plan of Distribution” in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum and the Final Offering Memorandum.

(or in any case to such other address as the person to be notified may have requested in writing).

 

(b)                                 Beneficiaries.  This Agreement has been and is made solely for the benefit of and shall be binding upon the Issuers, the Guarantors, the Initial Purchasers and to the extent provided in Section 8 hereof, the controlling persons, affiliates, officers, directors, partners, employees, representatives and agents referred to in Section 8 hereof and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns, all as and to the extent provided in this Agreement, and no other person shall acquire or have any right under or by virtue of this Agreement. The term “successors and assigns” shall not include a purchaser of any of the Stage I Securities from the Initial Purchasers merely because of such purchase.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is expressly understood and agreed that each purchaser who purchases Stage I Securities from the Initial Purchasers is intended to be a beneficiary of the covenants of the Issuers and the Guarantors contained in the Registration Rights Agreement to the same extent as if the Stage I Securities were sold and those covenants were made directly to such purchaser by the Issuers and the Guarantors, and each such purchaser shall have the right to take action against the Issuers and the Guarantors to enforce, and obtain damages for any breach of, those covenants.

 

(c)                                  Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial; Venue.  This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.  Each of the Issuers and the Guarantors hereby expressly and irrevocably (i) submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the federal and state courts sitting in the Borough of Manhattan in the City of New York in any suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Transactions, and (ii) waives (a) its right to a trial by jury in any legal action or proceeding relating to this Agreement, the Transactions or any course of conduct, course of dealing, statements (whether verbal or written) or actions of the Initial 

 

43

 

Purchasers and for any counterclaim related to any of the foregoing and (b) any obligation which it may have or hereafter may have to the laying of venue of any such litigation brought in any such court referred to above and any claim that any such litigation has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

 

(d)                                 Entire Agreement; Counterparts.  This Agreement, together with the Engagement Letter, constitutes the entire agreement of the parties to this Agreement and supersedes all prior written or oral and all contemporaneous oral agreements, understandings and negotiations with respect to the subject matter hereof.  This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each one of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else contained in this Agreement (other than the last sentence of this paragraph) to the contrary, nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to (except as otherwise provided in this paragraph) amend, modify or impair or otherwise affect the rights and obligations (including in the case of the Commitment Parties (as such term is defined in the Commitment Letter as herein defined), the Commitments (as such term is defined in the Commitment Letter)) of any of the parties under the Commitment Letter dated February 7, 2011 among Kratos, on the one hand, and Jefferies Group, Inc., Key Capital Corporation and OPY Credit Corp., on the other hand (the “Commitment Letter”) or any other Debt Financing Letter (as defined therein), in any manner whatsoever.  In the event (A) (i) any of the conditions set forth in Section 7 of this Agreement are not satisfied or waived by the Initial Purchasers on March 25, 2011 or (ii) the Initial Purchasers would have the right to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 9 of this Agreement but (B) the Commitment Parties would not have the right to terminate their Commitments under the Commitment Letter and the conditions to the obligations of the Commitment Parties to purchase Notes (as defined therein) under Section 3 of the Commitment Letter have been satisfied by such date, then each of the Initial Purchasers (severally and not jointly) agrees that it shall (i) honor the obligation of its or its affiliate that is a Commitment Party under the Commitment Letter to purchase the Stage I Notes or (ii) shall cause such affiliate to enter into a joinder and amendment to this Agreement such that such affiliate shall become a party hereto and this Agreement shall be amended in a manner consistent with the terms set forth under the caption “Purchase Agreement” in Exhibit A to the Commitment Letter to modify the representations and warranties, conditions and termination rights as provided for under such caption (and the parties hereto agree to negotiate such amendment in good faith); provided, that in no event shall the failure to agree upon such joinder and amendment be an excuse for the Commitment Parties to fail to fund the Commitments on March 25, 2011 provided that Kratos has in fact satisfied the conditions set forth in Section 3 of the Commitment Letter (including those set forth in Exhibit B to the Commitment Letter (after giving effect to the waivers set forth in the proviso to the immediately succeeding sentence)); it being acknowledged that the Commitment Parties shall have the right to exercise their market flex rights under Section 2 of the Fee Letter (as defined in the Commitment Letter).  The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the conditions set forth in paragraphs (i) 5 (provided that the condition set forth in Section 7(e) hereof has been satisfied), (ii) 6, (iii) 13, (iv) 14 (subject to the Issuers’ continued compliance with Section 5(d) hereof) and (v) 15 (to the extent that such 

 

44

 

paragraph 15 relates to the delivery of a comfort letter and a “bring down” comfort letter from Plante & Moran, PLLC) of Exhibit B to the Commitment Letter are waived as of the date of this Agreement; provided that, in the case of clauses (ii), (iii), (iv) and (v) above, such limited waiver is effective only until 5:00 p.m. EDT on March 25, 2011, at which time such limited waiver with respect to such clauses will expire and such conditions will be reinstated and in full force and effect.  Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, if (i) the Stage I Notes are purchased hereunder on the Closing Date or (ii) (A) by March 24, 2011, a majority of the outstanding shares of the common stock of Herley have been validly tendered (on a fully-diluted basis) and not withdrawn and Acquisition Co. is legally obligated under the Merger Agreement to purchase such shares and (B) no later than 1:00 p.m. EDT on March 25, 2011, the Initial Purchasers or such affiliates, as applicable, are ready and willing to purchase all of the Stage I Notes and the Stage I Issuer refuses to issue the Stage I Notes by such time, then, in the case of each of clauses (i) and (ii), all of the Commitments shall be terminated.

 

(e)                                  Headings.  The headings in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof.

 

(f)                                    Separability.  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 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 reasonable best 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.

 

(g)                                 Amendment.  This Agreement may be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may be given, provided that the same are in writing and signed by all of the signatories hereto.

 

(h)                                 Agreement Among  Initial Purchasers.  Any action by the Initial Purchasers hereunder may be taken by Jefferies on behalf of the Initial Purchasers, and any such action taken by Jefferies shall be binding upon each of the Initial Purchasers.

 

(i)                                     Escrow Condition.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if the Escrow Condition does not exist on the Closing Date, the Stage I Issuer will not be required to deposit the Required Escrow Deposit in the Escrow Account and the representations, warranties, covenants and conditions herein related to the Required Escrow Deposit, the Escrow Account and the Escrow Agreement shall be given no force or effect

 

(j)                                     Representations and Warranties Regarding Herley.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, each representation and warranty (except to the extent such 

 

45

 

representation and warranty is already modified with a knowledge qualifier) made or to be made with respect to Herley or any of its subsidiaries shall be deemed to have been made or will be made to the knowledge, after due inquiry, of Kratos to the extent such representation and warranty is applicable to Herley or such subsidiary.

Please confirm that the foregoing correctly sets forth the agreement between the Issuers, the Guarantors and the Initial Purchasers.
