Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Company shall use its best efforts to cause such a registration statement filed under this to be declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as possible after the filing thereof, and shall use its best efforts to keep such registration statement continuously effective under the Securities Act until the date that all Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement (i) have been sold, thereunder or pursuant to Rule 144, or (ii) may be sold without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions pursuant to Rule 144 and without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information requirement under Rule 144, as determined by the counsel to the Company pursuant to a written opinion letter to such effect, addressed and acceptable to the Company’s transfer agent and the affected Lenders. The Company shall promptly notify the Lenders via facsimile or by e-mail of the effectiveness of a registration statement and file a final prospectus with the SEC as required by Rule 424.

 

“Registrable Securities” means, as of any date of determination, (a) all shares of Common Stock then issued and issuable upon conversion of the Notes (assuming such securities are converted in full without regard to any conversion limitations therein), and (b) any securities issued or then issuable upon any stock split, dividend or other distribution, recapitalization or similar event with respect to the foregoing; provided, however, that any such Registrable Securities shall cease to be Registrable Securities (and the Company shall not be required to maintain the effectiveness of any, or file another, registration statement hereunder with respect thereto) for so long as (a) a Registration Statement with respect to the sale of such Registrable Securities is declared effective by the Commission under the Securities Act and such Registrable Securities have been disposed of by the Lender in accordance with such effective Registration Statement, (b) such Registrable Securities have been previously sold in accordance with Rule 144, or (c) such securities become eligible for resale without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions and without current public information pursuant to Rule 144 as set forth in a written opinion letter to such effect, addressed, delivered and acceptable to the Transfer Agent and the affected Lenders.

(a) Indemnification by the Company. The Company and its successors and assigns shall indemnify and hold harmless each applicable Lender, the officers, directors, members, partners, agents and employees (and any other individuals or entities with a functionally equivalent role of a person holding such titles, notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title) of applicable Lender, each individual or entity who controls applicable Lender (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act and the officers, directors, members, partners, agents and employees (and any other individuals or entities with a functionally equivalent role of a person holding such titles, notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title) of each such controlling individual or entity (each, a “Lender Party”), to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) liabilities, obligations, contingencies, damages, and expenses, including all judgments, amounts paid in settlements, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs of investigation (collectively, “Losses”), as incurred, arising out of or relating to (1) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in a Registration Statement, any related prospectus or any form of prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any such prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading or (2) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any state securities law, or any rule or regulation thereunder, in connection with the performance of its obligations under this Article VII, except to the extent, but only to the extent, that (i) such untrue statements or omissions are based upon information regarding an applicable Lender furnished to the Company by such party for use therein. The Company shall notify each applicable Lender promptly of the institution, threat or assertion of any proceeding arising from or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Article VII of which the Company is aware.

 

(b) Indemnification by Lender. Each applicable Lender and its successors and assigns shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the officers, directors, members, partners, agents and employees (and any other individuals or entities with a functionally equivalent role of a person holding such titles, notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title) of the Company, each individual or entity who controls the company (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) and the officers, directors, members, partners, agents and employees (and any other individuals or entities with a functionally equivalent role of a person holding such titles, notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title) of each such controlling individual or entity (each, a “Company Party”, with a Lender Party and Company Party each being referred to as an “Indemnified Party”), to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any and all Losses, as incurred, arising out of or relating to (1) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in a Registration Statement, any related prospectus or any form of prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any such prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading or (2) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any state securities law, or any rule or regulation thereunder, in connection with the performance of its obligations under this Article VII, but only to the extent that such untrue statements or omissions are based upon information regarding such applicable Lender furnished to the Company by such party for use therein. Each applicable Lender shall notify the Company promptly of the institution, threat or assertion of any proceeding arising from or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Article VII of which such applicable Lender is aware.

 

14

 

 

(c) Contribution. If the indemnification under Section 7.2(a) or Section 7.2(b), as applicable, is unavailable to an Indemnified Party or insufficient to hold an Indemnified Party harmless for any Losses, then the party responsible for indemnifying the Indemnified Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party in connection with the actions, statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission of a material fact, has been taken or made by, or relates to information supplied by, the Indemnifying Party or the Indemnified Party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action, statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of any Losses shall be deemed to include any reasonable attorneys’ or other fees or expenses incurred by such party in connection with any proceeding to the extent such party would have been indemnified for such fees or expenses if the indemnification provided for in Section 3(a) was available to such party in accordance with its terms. It is agreed that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7.2(c) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding sentence.

 

ARTICLE VIII

PRE-EMPTIVE RIGHTS

 

Section 8.1 Rights. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Article VIII and applicable securities laws, for so long as a Lender continues to hold any of (i) the applicable Note, or (ii) any shares of Common Stock issued to such Lender upon conversion of the Note, if the Company proposes to offer or sell any New Securities (as defined below) between the Effective Date and the one year anniversary of the Effective Date (the “Rights Term”), the Company shall first offer such New Securities to the Lenders pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Article VIII. Each Lender shall thereafter have the right to acquire its Pro Rata Portion (as defined below) of the New Securities in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Article VIII.

 

15

 

 

Section 8.2 Definitions. For purposes of this Article VIII:

 

(a) “New Securities” means, collectively, equity securities or debt securities of the Company, whether or not currently authorized, as well as rights, options, or warrants to purchase such equity securities, or securities of any type whatsoever that are, or may become, convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable for such equity securities.

 

(b) “Pro Rata Portion” means, with respect to each Lender, a fraction (A) the numerator of which is equal to the initial aggregate principal amount of the Note(s) acquired by such Lender (B) the denominator of which is equal to the initial aggregate principal amount of the Note(s) acquired by all Lenders.

 

Section 8.3 Notice.

 

(a) The Company shall give notice (the “Offer Notice”) to the Lenders, stating (i) its bona fide intention to offer such New Securities, (ii) the number of such New Securities to be offered, and (iii) the price and terms, if any, upon which it proposes to offer such New Securities.

 

(b) By notification to the Company within ten (10) days after the Offer Notice is given, each Lender may elect to purchase or otherwise acquire, at the price and on the terms specified in the Offer Notice, up to that portion of such New Securities which equals such Lender’s Pro Rata Portion. Once a Lender elects to purchase its Pro Rata Portion of the New Securities via notice to the Company, such Lender shall thereafter be obligated to purchase such Pro Rata Portion of the New Securities and may not withdraw its election without the prior written consent of the Company in its sole discretion. The closing of any sale pursuant to this Section 8.3(b) shall occur within ninety (90) days of the date that the Offer Notice is given.

 

(c) If none of the New Securities referred to in the Offer Notice are elected to be purchased or acquired as provided in Section 8.3(b), the Company may, during the ninety (90) day period following the expiration of the 10 day period commencing on the delivery of the Offer Notice, offer and sell the New Securities to any Person or Persons at a price not less than, and upon terms no more favorable to the offeree than, those specified in the Offer Notice. If a portion of the New Securities referred to in the Offer Notice are not elected to be purchased or acquired as provided in Section 8.3(b), the Company may, during the ninety (90) day period following the expiration of the 10 day period commencing on the delivery of the Offer Notice, offer and sell such unsubscribed portion of the New Securities to any Person or Persons at a price not less than, and upon terms no more favorable to the offeree than, those specified in the Offer Notice (with, for the avoidance of doubt, the subscribed portion of the New Securities being sold to the Lender(s) who elected to acquire their Pro Rata Portion of the New Securities as set forth in Section 8.3(b)). If the Company does not enter into an agreement for the sale of the New Securities within such period(s), or if such agreement is not consummated within thirty (30) days of the execution thereof, the rights provided hereunder shall be deemed to be revived and such New Securities shall not be offered unless first reoffered to the Lenders in accordance with this Article VIII.

 

16

 

 

Section 8.4 Exclusion. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything herein to the contrary, the rights of the Lenders set forth in this Article VIII shall not be applicable to any New Securities issued:

 

(a) for compensatory or incentive purposes to officers, employees or directors of, or consultants to, the Company or any of its Affiliates including, without limitation, the grant of stock options, deferred share units, restricted share units or restricted shares, duly adopted for such purposes by a majority of the non-employee members of the board of directors of the Company or a majority of the members of the committee of nonemployee members of the board of directors established for such purpose;

 

(b) pursuant to a rights offering by the Company or pursuant to a stockholder rights plan of the Company that is carried out on a pro rata basis among all holders of the applicable class of securities of the Company;

(f) as a result of the consolidation or subdivision of any securities of the Company, or as a special distribution or stock dividend or similar transaction that is carried out on a pro rata basis among all holders of the applicable class of securities of the Company; or

 

(g) in connection with or pursuant to any merger, business combination, joint venture, exchange offer, take-over bid, arrangement, amalgamation, asset purchase transaction or acquisition of assets or shares of a third party where such transaction is approved by a majority of the disinterested directors of the Company.

 

Section 8.5 Requirements. Each Lender, as a condition precedent to the exercise of such Lender’s right pursuant to this Article VIII, shall execute such documents and complete such actions as reasonably required by the Company in connection therewith.

 

Section 8.6 Termination. The rights of the Lenders pursuant to this Article VIII shall terminate and be of no further force or effect upon the expiration of the Rights Term or upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, either voluntarily or involuntarily, a merger or consolidation of the Company where the Company is not a surviving entity, or a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company.
