Section 2.06 Retained Shares. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.02(a), 149,254 of the First Closing Shares (together with any Additional Retained Shares that may be issued pursuant to Section 2.05(e), the “Retained Shares”) shall be retained by the Buyer for a period of 12 months from the First Closing Date (the “Retention Period”), as an escrow for any indemnification obligations of Seller pursuant to the provisions of Article VI.

Section 2.13 Registration.

 

(a)

Registration Generally. In the event that the Second Closing occurs and any Earn-Out Shares are issued hereunder, upon the written request of the Seller, the Buyer shall thereafter utilize its commercially reasonable efforts to register (each, a “Registration”) such Earn-Out Shares as held by the Seller at such time (the “Registrable Securities”) for resale on a Form S-3 pursuant to the Securities Act or form for registration as available to the Buyer with respect to the registration of the Earn-Out Shares, as determined by the Buyer Board (each, a “Registration Statement”). Any request for a Registration by the Seller shall specify the number of Registrable Securities proposed to be sold and the intended method(s) of distribution thereof. The Buyer shall not be obligated to effect more than one (1) Registration under this Section 2.13 in respect of all Registrable Securities.

 

 

(b)

Effective Registration. A registration will not count as a Registration until the Registration Statement filed with the SEC with respect to such Registration has been declared effective and the Buyer has complied in all material respects with its obligations under this Section 2.13 with respect thereto; provided, however, that if, after such Registration Statement has been declared effective, the offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration is interfered with by any stop order or injunction of the SEC or any other governmental agency or court, the Registration Statement with respect to such Registration will be deemed not to have been declared effective, unless and until, (i) such stop order or injunction is removed, rescinded or otherwise terminated, and (ii) the Seller thereafter elects to continue with such Registration and accordingly notifies the Buyer in writing, but in no event later than five (5) days, of such election.

 

(c)

Limitations. If a Registration is initiated as an underwritten offering and the managing underwriter advises the Buyer and the Seller and the holders of any other shares of Common Stock which are also “Registrable Securities” under an agreement similar to this Section 2.13 (if any holders of Registrable Securities have elected to include Registrable Securities in such Registration) in writing that in its reasonable and good faith opinion the number of shares of Common Stock proposed to be included in such registration, including all Registrable Securities and all other shares of Common Stock proposed to be included in such underwritten offering, exceeds the number of shares of Common Stock which can be sold in such offering and/or that the number of shares of Common Stock proposed to be included in any such registration or takedown would adversely affect the price per share of the Common Stock to be sold in such offering, the Buyer shall include in such registration (i) first, the shares of Common Stock that the Buyer proposes to sell; and (ii) the shares of Common Stock requested to be included therein by the Seller and the other holders of Registrable Securities, allocated among the Seller and such other holders pro rata based on the number of Registrable Securities held by each of Seller and such other holders.

 

(d)

Withdrawal. The Seller may withdraw all or any portion of its Registrable Securities included in a Registration from such Registration at any time prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement. If the Seller disapproves of the terms of any underwritten offering or is not entitled to include all of its Registrable Securities in any offering, the Seller may elect to withdraw from such offering by giving written notice to the Buyer and the underwriter or underwriters of its request to withdraw prior to the effectiveness of the registration statement filed with the SEC with respect to such Registration. If the Seller withdraws from a proposed offering relating to a Registration in such event, then such registration shall not count as the Registration provided for in this Section 2.13.

 

 

(e)

Indemnification. The provisions of this Section 2.13(e) shall operate separately and independently of the provisions of Article VI.

 

 

 

 

14

 

 

 

(i)

Indemnification by the Buyer. The Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Seller Indemnified Parties, 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 Buyer 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 Agreement, except to the extent, but only to the extent, that (i) such untrue statements or omissions are based upon information regarding Seller furnished to the Buyer by such party for use therein. The Buyer shall notify Seller promptly of the institution, threat or assertion of any proceeding arising from or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement of which the Buyer is aware.

 

(ii)

Indemnification by Seller. Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless the Buyer Indemnified Parties, 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 Buyer 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 Agreement, but only to the extent that such untrue statements or omissions are based upon information regarding Seller furnished to the Buyer by such party for use therein. Seller shall notify the Buyer promptly of the institution, threat or assertion of any proceeding arising from or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement of which Seller is aware.

 

(iii)

Contribution. If the indemnification under Section 2.13(e)(i) or Section 2.13(e)(ii), as applicable, is unavailable to an Indemnified Party or insufficient to hold an Indemnified Party harmless for any Losses, then the Indemnifying Party responsible for indemnifying the Indemnified 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 2.13(e)(i) or Section 2.13(e)(ii), as applicable, 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 2.13(e)(iii) 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.

 

 

 

 

15

 

 

 

Section 2.14 Lock-Up and Leak Out.

For a period from the date of issuance of any Lock-Up Shares until that date that is six (6) months from such issuance date (as to each tranche of Lock-Up Shares, the “Lock-Up Period”, provided, however, that the Buyer may determine to shorten the Lock-Up Period in its sole discretion), Seller will not, directly or indirectly:

 

(i)

offer for sale, sell, pledge or otherwise dispose of (or enter into any transaction or device that is designed to, or could be expected to, result in the disposition by any person at any time in the future of) any of the Lock-Up Shares;

 

(ii)

enter into any swap or other derivatives transaction that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic benefits or risks of ownership of Lock-Up Shares, whether any such transaction is to be settled by delivery of Lock-Up Shares or other securities, in cash or otherwise; or

 

(iii)

publicly disclose the intention to do any of the foregoing.

 

(c)

Notwithstanding Section 2.14(b), on each Trading Day (as defined below) of the Lock-Up Period, Seller may sell or otherwise transfer a number of Lock-up Shares equal to 15% of the Average Daily Trading Volume for the Common Stock as of such Trading Date, calculated over a 3-month period, and as reported by Bloomberg or Yahoo Finance. For purposes herein, “Trading Day” means any day on which the Common Stock is available for trading on The Nasdaq Stock Market or any other securities exchange which is as of such time the primary trading market for the Common Stock.

 

(d)

The Buyer and its transfer agent on its behalf are hereby authorized to decline to register any transfer of Lock-up Shares if such transfer would constitute a violation or breach of this Agreement and the Seller consents to the entry of stop transfer instructions with the Buyer’s transfer agent and registrar against the transfer of the Lock-up Shares except in compliance with the provisions of this Section 2.14. The Seller also consents to the placement of the following legend, or a legend of substantially the same effect, on any and all stock certificates that evidence the Lock-up Shares: “THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO THE TERMS OF AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND THE REGISTERED HOLDER OF THE SHARES (OR THE PREDECESSOR IN INTEREST TO THE SHARES). A COPY OF THE AGREEMENT MAY BE INSPECTED AT THE PRINCIPAL OFFICE OF THE COMPANY.”

35

 

 

 

(a)

Third-Party Claims. If any Indemnified Party receives notice of the assertion or commencement of any Action made or brought by any Person who is not a party to this Agreement or an Affiliate of a party to this Agreement or a Representative of the foregoing (a “Third-Party Claim”) against such Indemnified Party with respect to which the Indemnifying Party is obligated to provide indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof, but in any event not later than thirty (30) calendar days after receipt of such notice of such Third-Party Claim. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Third-Party Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in, or by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party, to assume the defense of any Third-Party Claim at the Indemnifying Party’s expense and by the Indemnifying Party’s own counsel, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate in good faith in such defense. In the event that the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third-Party Claim, subject to Section 6.04(b), it shall have the right to take such action as it deems necessary to avoid, dispute, defend, appeal or make counterclaims pertaining to any such Third-Party Claim in the name and on behalf of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense of any Third-Party Claim with counsel selected by it subject to the Indemnifying Party’s right to control the defense thereof, provided that the fees and disbursements of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party.

 

(b)

Settlement of Third-Party Claims. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall not enter into settlement of any Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, except as provided in this Section 6.04(b). If a firm offer is made to settle a Third-Party Claim without leading to liability or the creation of a financial or other obligation on the part of the Indemnified Party and provides, in customary form, for the unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from all liabilities and obligations in connection with such Third-Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party desires to accept and agree to such offer, the Indemnifying Party shall give written notice to that effect to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnified Party consents to such firm offer the Indemnifying Party may settle the Third-Party Claim upon the terms set forth in such firm offer to settle such Third-Party Claim. If the Indemnified Party objects to such offer, or does not provide a response to such firm offer within ten days after its receipt of such notice (in which case the Indemnified Party shall be deemed to not have consented to such offer), the Indemnified Party shall thereafter assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim and shall continue to contest or defend such Third-Party Claim and in such event the maximum liability of the Indemnifying Party as to such Third-Party Claim shall not exceed the amount of such settlement offer. If the Indemnified Party has assumed the defense pursuant to this Section 6.04(b), the Indemnified Party shall not agree to any settlement without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

  

(c)

Direct Claims. Any Action by an Indemnified Party on account of a Loss which does not result from a Third-Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”) shall be asserted by the Indemnified Party giving the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof, but in any event not later than thirty (30) calendar days after the Indemnified Party becomes aware of such Direct Claim. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure.

(j)

Any judgment upon any award rendered by the arbitrators may be entered in and enforced by any court of competent jurisdiction.
