the SEC Reports, including, without limitation, any financial
statements or schedules included therein, when filed, contained any
untrue statement or material fact or omitted to state a material fact
necessary in order to make the statements made, when and in light of
the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. There
have been no material adverse changes in the Company's business,
properties, results of operations, condition (financial or otherwise)
or prospects since the date of the Company's most recently filed SEC
Report which have not been disclosed to the Purchasers in writing. The
consolidated balance sheet of the Company contained in the most
recently filed Form 10-Q comprising a part of the SEC Reports, and the
related consolidated statements of income, changes in stockholders'
equity and changes in cash flows for the periods then ended (such
consolidated balance sheet of the Company is hereinafter referred to as
the "Balance Sheet"), except as indicated therein, have been prepared
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
consistently followed throughout the periods indicated, except that
such financial statements do not contain notes and may be subject to
normal audits adjustments and normal annual adjustments. The Balance
Sheet fairly presents the financial condition of the Company and its
subsidiaries at the date thereof and, except as indicated therein,
reflects all claims against and all debts and liabilities the Company
and its subsidiaries, fixed or contingent, as of the date thereof and
the related statements of income, stockholders' equity and changes in
cash flows fairly present the results of the operations of the Company
and its subsidiaries and the changes in their financial position for
the period indicated. Since the date of the Balance Sheet, except as
disclosed in the SEC Reports or as otherwise disclosed in writing by
the Company to the Purchasers, there has been (x) no material adverse
change in the assets or liabilities, or the business or condition,
financial or otherwise, or the results of operations or prospects, of
the Company and its subsidiaries, whether as a result of any
legislative or regulatory change, revocation of any license or rights
to do business, fire, explosion, accident, casualty, labor trouble,
flood, drought, riot, storm, condemnation, act of God, public force or
otherwise and (y) no change in the assets or liabilities, or in the
business or condition, financial or otherwise, or in the results of
operations or prospects, of the Company except in the ordinary course
of business; and no fact or condition exists or is contemplated or
threatened which might cause such a change in the future.
(h) All of the information provided to the Purchasers by the
Company regarding the Company was and remains true, correct and
complete in all material respects and no representation, warranty or
statement made by the Company in or pursuant to this Agreement contains
any untrue statement of a material fact or omits or
- 4 -
5
will omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make such
information, representation, warranty or statement not misleading.
6. Registration of the Shares under the Securities Act. The
Company covenants and agrees with the Purchasers as follows:
(a) The Company shall, as promptly as practicable, after the
Closing Date file with the Commission a registration statement for an offering
to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 covering all of the Shares
(the "Shelf Registration"). The Company shall use its best efforts to file with
the Commission the Shelf Registration within 45 days of Closing Date and shall
use its best efforts to cause such Shelf Registration to be declared effective
under the Securities Act as promptly as practicable thereafter. The Shelf
Registration shall be on Form S-3 or another appropriate form permitting
registration of such Shares for resales by the Purchasers in the manner or
manners designated by them (including, without limitation, one or more
underwritten offerings). The Company shall not permit any securities other than
the Shares to be included in the Shelf Registration without the consent of the
holders of the Shares. The Company shall use its best efforts to keep the Shelf
Registration continuously effective under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the "Securities Act") until the date which is 36 months from the date of filing
(the "Effectiveness Period") or such shorter period ending when (i) all Shares
covered by the Shelf Registration have been sold in the manner set forth and as
contemplated in the Shelf Registration or (ii) the Purchasers have elected to
sell Shares pursuant to Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act.
(b) When the Company is required by the provisions of Section 6(a)
to use its best efforts to effect the registration of the Shares under the
Securities Act, the Company will, as expeditiously as practicable:
(i) prepare and file with the Commission a registration
statement on Form S-3 or any successor with respect to the Shares and use its
best efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective as soon as
reasonably practicable, and to remain effective throughout the Period of
Distribution (as such term is hereinafter defined).
(ii) prepare and file with the Commission such amendments
and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in
connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such registration statement
effective for the Period of Distribution and comply with the provisions of the
Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all Shares covered by such
registration statement in accordance with the Purchasers' intended method of
disposition set forth in such registration statement for such Period of
Distribution;
(iii) furnish to the Purchasers such number of copies of
the registration statement and the prospectus included therein (including each
preliminary prospectus) as the Purchasers reasonably may request in order to
facilitate the public sale or other disposition of the Shares covered by such
registration statement;
- 5 -
6
(iv) use its best efforts to register or qualify the
Shares covered by such registration statement under the securities or "blue sky"
laws of such jurisdictions as the Purchasers reasonably may request, PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that the Company shall not for any such purpose be required to qualify
generally to transact business as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction
where it is not so qualified or to consent to general service of process in any
such jurisdiction;
(v) use its best efforts to list the Shares covered by
such registration statement with any securities exchange or quotation service on
which the Common Stock of the Company is then traded; and
(vi) immediately notify the Purchasers, at any time when a
prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities
Act, of the happening of any event of which the Company has knowledge as a
result of which the prospectus contained in such registration statement, as then
in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing.
(c) In connection with the registration of the Shares hereunder,
the Purchasers shall provide to the Company such information as the Company may
reasonably request and complete and execute all questionnaires, powers of
attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents reasonably
requested by the Company.
(d) The Company will pay all Registration Expenses (as such term
is hereinafter defined) in connection with the registration statement under
Section 6(a). All Selling Expenses (as such term is hereinafter defined) in
connection with such registration statement shall be borne by the Purchasers.
For purposes of this Section 6, the term "Registration Expenses" shall mean all
registration and filing fees, printing expenses, fees and disbursements of
counsel and independent public accountants for the Company, fees and expenses
incurred in connection with applying for listing and quotation on any securities
exchange or quotation service, fees and expenses (including counsel fees)
incurred in connection with complying with state securities or "blue sky" laws,
fees of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., transfer taxes,
and fees of transfer agents and registrars; and the term "Selling Expenses"
shall mean all fees and disbursements of one (1) counsel for the Purchasers and
all underwriting discounts and selling commissions applicable to the sale of the
Shares.
(e) (i) In the event of a registration of any of the Shares under the
Securities Act pursuant to Section 6(a), the Company will indemnify and hold the
Purchasers harmless against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or
several, to which the Purchasers may become subject under the Securities Act or
otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in
respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement of any
material fact contained in any registration statement under which such
- 6 -
7
Shares were registered under the Securities Act pursuant to Section 6(a), any
preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein, or any amendment
or supplement thereof, or arise out of or are based upon the omission to state
therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading or any violation by the Company of the
Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any state securities law or any rule or
regulation promulgated under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any state
securities law, and will pay the legal fees and other expenses of the Seller in
connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage,
liability or action, PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Company will not be liable in
any such case if and to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or
liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or omission so made
in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished by or on behalf of
the Purchasers in writing specifically for use in such registration statement or
prospectus or such untrue statement or omission was contained in a preliminary
prospectus and corrected in a final or amended prospectus, copies of which were
delivered to the Purchasers (or to an underwriter retained by the Purchasers to
engage in a distribution of the Shares on behalf of the Purchasers) on a timely
basis and the Purchasers or such underwriter thereafter failed to deliver a copy
of such final or amended prospectus at or prior to the confirmation of the sale
of Shares to the person asserting any such loss, claim, damage or liability in
any case where such delivery is required by the Securities Act.
(ii) In the event of a registration of any of the Shares
under the Securities Act pursuant to Section 6(a), the Purchasers will indemnify
and hold harmless the Company, each person, if any, who controls the Company
within the meaning of the Securities Act, each officer of the Company who signs
the registration statement, each director of the Company, each underwriter and
each person who controls any underwriter within the meaning of the Securities
Act, against all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to
which the Company or such officer, director, underwriter or controlling person
may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such
losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out
of or are based upon any untrue statement of any material fact contained in the
registration statement under which such Restricted Stock was registered under
the Securities Act pursuant to Section 6(a), any preliminary prospectus or final
prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereof, or arise
out of or are based upon the omission to state therein a material fact required
to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading,
and will pay the legal fees and other expenses of the Company and each such
officer, director, underwriter and controlling person incurred by them in
connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage,
liability or action, PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Purchasers will be liable
hereunder in any such case if and only to the extent that any such loss, claim,
damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or
omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in
writing to the Company by the Purchasers specifically for use in such
registration statement or prospectus.
(iii) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party
hereunder of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party
shall, if a claim in respect thereof is
- 7 -
8
to be made against the indemnifying party hereunder, notify the indemnifying
party in writing thereof, but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party
shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to such indemnified
party other than under this Section 6(e) and shall only relieve it from any
liability that it may have to such indemnified party under this Section 6(e) if
and to the extent the indemnifying party is prejudiced by such omission. In case
any such action shall be brought against any indemnified party and it shall
notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying
party shall be entitled to participate in and, to the extent it shall wish, to
assume and undertake the defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to such
indemnified party, and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such
indemnified party of its election so to assume and undertake the defense
thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party
under this Section 6(e) for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by such
indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof; PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
that, if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party
and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably
concluded (based on the advice of counsel) that there may be reasonable defenses
available to it which are different from or additional to those available to the
indemnifying party or if the interests of the indemnified party reasonably may
be deemed to conflict with the interests of the indemnifying party, the
indemnified party shall have the right to select a separate counsel and to
assume such legal defenses and otherwise to participate in the defense of such
action, with the expenses and fees of such separate counsel and other expenses
related to such participation to be reimbursed by the indemnifying party as
incurred, it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall not,
in connection with any one such action or separate but substantially similar or
related actions 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 as
required by the local rules of such jurisdiction) at any time for all such
indemnified parties.
(f) In the event the Purchasers shall not have sold all of the Shares
covered by the registration statement filed pursuant to Section 6(a) within 90
days after the effective date of such registration statement, then following
such 90-day period, the Purchasers shall not effect any further sales of Shares
in reliance upon such registration statement unless, no later than 5 business
days prior to the date on which the Purchasers propose to effect any such
further sale, the Purchasers give the Company written notice of its intention to
effect such further sale and if, within 3 business days after its receipt of
such notice, the Company advises the Purchasers that the registration statement,
as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to
state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing,
the Purchasers will not effect any sale of Shares in reliance on such
registration statement until such time as the Company has filed a corrective
amendment thereto. The Company shall use its best efforts to file such
corrective amendment as soon as practicable after its receipt of the Purchasers'
notice, but in any event within 10 business days; provided, however, that the
Company shall have the right to defer the filing of such corrective amendment
for up to 30 days if, in the good faith judgment of the Company's Board of
Directors, it would be detrimental to the interests of the Company for such
corrective amendment to be filed at such
- 8 -
9
time.
(g)(i) The Company may, by written notice to the Purchasers,
suspend use of the registration statement hereunder after effectiveness and
require that the Purchasers immediately cease sales of the Shares pursuant to
the registration statement during any period in which the Company is engaged in
any activity or transaction or preparations or negotiations for any activity or
transaction that the Company desires to keep confidential for business reasons,
if the Company determines in good faith that the public disclosure requirements
imposed on the Company under the Securities Act of 1933 in connection with the
registration statement would require disclosure of such activity, transaction,
preparations or negotiations.
(ii) If the Company delays or suspends the registration
statement or requires the Purchasers to cease sales of the Shares pursuant to
paragraph (g)(i) above, the Company shall, as promptly as practicable following
the termination of the circumstance which entitled the Company to do so, take
such actions as may be necessary to file or reinstate the effectiveness of the
registration statement and/or give written notice to the Purchasers authorizing
them to resume sales pursuant to the registration statement. If as a result
thereof, the prospectus included in the registration statement has been amended
to comply with the requirements of the Securities Act, the Company shall enclose
such revised prospectus with the notice to the Purchasers given pursuant to this
paragraph (g)(ii), and the Purchasers shall make no offers or sales of the
Shares pursuant to the registration statement other than by means of such
revised prospectus.
(iii) Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement, the Company shall have the right to cause more than one suspension
pursuant to paragraph (g)(i), none of which may be for more than sixty (60) days
in length, and provided further, that the Company shall not cause any such
suspension of registration more than once in any six-month period and no more
than one hundred eighty days in any three-year period.
