3.6.6.1.1           to the extent it may lawfully do so, the Company shall redeem for cash all of the Redeemable Interests in three (3) annual installments beginning on the eighth anniversary of the A&R Effective Date (November 19, 2020), and ending on the date two (2) years from such first redemption date (each a “Scheduled Redemption Date”). The Company shall effect such redemptions on (i) the first Scheduled Redemption Date by paying cash for one-third of the recipient Member’s Redeemable Interest equal to one-third of the sum of (a) the recipient Member’s Unreturned Capital plus (b) any Unpaid Dividends of the recipient Member attributable to such Member’s Redeemable Interest, as of such Scheduled Redemption Date, (ii) the second Scheduled Redemption Date by paying cash for one-half of the recipient Member’s remaining Redeemable Interest equal to one-half of the sum of (a) the recipient Member’s remaining Unreturned Capital plus (b) any remaining Unpaid Dividends of the recipient Member attributable to such Member’s remaining Redeemable Interest, as of such Scheduled Redemption Date, and (iii) the third Scheduled Redemption Date by paying cash for the recipient Member’s remaining Redeemable Interest equal to the sum of (a) the recipient Member’s remaining Unreturned Capital plus (b) any remaining Unpaid Dividends of the recipient Member attributable to such Member’s remaining Redeemable Interest, as of such Scheduled Redemption Date.

3.6.6.1.2           upon the occurrence of a Trigger Event, the Company shall redeem for cash all of the Redeemable Interests on or prior to the second (2nd) Business Day after the occurrence of a Trigger Event (such date, the “Mandatory Redemption Date” and each of the Mandatory Redemption Date or a Scheduled Redemption Date, as applicable, a “Redemption Date”). The Company shall effect such redemption on the Mandatory Redemption Date by paying cash for all of the recipient Member’s Redeemable Interest equal to the sum of (a) the recipient Member’s Unreturned Capital plus (b) any Unpaid Dividends of the recipient Member attributable to such Member’s Redeemable Interest, as of the Mandatory Redemption Date.

 

3.6.6.2           The total amount to be paid for each Redeemable Interest is hereinafter referred to as the “Redemption Price” for such Redeemable Interest. The relative dollar amounts paid to each Member participating in the Mandatory Redemption shall be proportionate to the aggregate Redemption Price owed to each such Member.

 

3.6.6.3           On a Redemption Date, the Company shall pay the applicable Redemption Price to the Members holding Redeemable Interests.

 

3.6.6.4           If the assets of the Company available for redemption of the applicable Redeemable Interests by law or otherwise on the applicable Redemption Date are insufficient to redeem the applicable Redeemable Interests on the applicable Redemption Date, the holders of such Redeemable Interests shall share ratably in any assets available by law or otherwise for redemption of the Redeemable Interests in proportion to the amounts that would be payable with respect to the Percentage Interest owned by them if the Redeemable Interests to be so redeemed on such Redemption Date were redeemed in full. The Company shall in good faith use all reasonable efforts as expeditiously as possible to eliminate, or obtain an exception, waiver or exemption from, any and all restrictions under applicable law or otherwise that prevented the Company from paying any portion of the Redemption Price and redeeming all of the outstanding Redeemable Interests. At any time thereafter when additional funds of the Company are available by law for the redemption of the Redeemable Interests, such funds will be used, as soon as they become available, to redeem the balance of such Redeemable Interests to be so redeemed in accordance with the terms hereof or such portion thereof for which funds are available, on the basis set forth above. If funds are not available by law or otherwise for the payment in full of the Redemption Price for the Redeemable Interests to be so redeemed on the Redemption Date, then the Company shall be obliged to make such partial redemption so that the number of Redeemable Interests held by each holder shall be reduced in an amount that shall bear the same ratio to the actual number of Redeemable Interests required to be redeemed on such Redemption Date as the number of Redeemable Interests then held by such holder bears to the aggregate number of shares of Redeemable Interests then outstanding. If the Company fails to redeem the Redeemable Interests and pay the full Redemption Price for which redemption is required, then during the period from the Redemption Date through the date on which such Interests that the Company failed to redeem on the Redemption Date are actually redeemed and full payment of Redemption Price is made, Accrued Dividends on such unredeemed Interests shall continue to accrue and be cumulative as specified herein.

3.6.6.5           The Redemption Price of each Redeemable Interest shall be payable to the order of the person whose name appears on Schedule A attached hereto as the owner thereof. From and after the first Redemption Date, all rights of the holders of such Redeemable Interests (except the right to receive the Redemption Price (without interest)) shall cease and terminate with respect to such Redeemable Interests; provided that in the event that any applicable Redemption Price for a particular Redeemable Interest is not paid in full when due, as a result of a Redemption Price Non-Payment Event, the rights of the holder of such Redeemable Interest shall continue (including any entitlement to Accrued Dividends, if any) as to a ratable portion of such Redeemable Interest, which (as of any particular time) shall be equal to the product of such Redeemable Interest multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is that portion of the aggregate Redemption Price for such Redeemable Interest which has not been paid in full, and the denominator of which is the aggregate Redemption Price for such Redeemable Interest.

 

3.6.6.6           For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the obligation of the Company to pay the applicable Redemption Price on a Redemption Date shall not be affected by the fact that the Hosting Cost Reimbursements have not been paid in full or any default, deferral or failure of payment of Hosting Cost Reimbursements exists or has occurred under the Hosting Cost Reimbursement Agreement.

 

3.6.7           Mandatory Redemptions of Redeemable Iridium Interests.

 

3.6.7.1           The Company shall be obligated to redeem the Redeemable Iridium Interests (the “Mandatory Iridium Redemption”) as follows:

 

3.6.7.1.1           to the extent it may lawfully do so, the Company shall redeem for cash all of the Redeemable Iridium Interests as soon as sufficient funds are available following (a) (i) the closing of the Fourth Additional Investor Financing, or, (ii) if there is no Fourth Additional Investor Financing, the closing of the Fifth NAV CANADA Tranche Financing, or, (iii) if there is no Fourth Additional Investor Financing or Fifth NAV CANADA Tranche Financing, the Fifth NAV CANADA Tranche Financing Final Tranche Date, and (b) the payment of all Hosting Cost Reimbursements then due and owing under the Hosting Cost Reimbursement Agreement. The Company shall effect such redemption by paying cash for the Redeemable Iridium Interests equal to the full amount actually funded by the Additional Investors and the Additional Investors Subsidiaries in all Additional Investors Financings ($120,000,000 in the event that all of the Additional Investors Financings are fully funded).

3.6.7.2           The total amount to be paid for the Redeemable Iridium Interests is hereinafter referred to as the “Iridium Redemption Price.”

 

3.6.7.3           If the assets of the Company available for redemption of the Redeemable Iridium Interests by law or otherwise are insufficient to redeem the Redeemable Iridium Interests, Iridium shall receive the portion of any assets available by law or otherwise for redemption of the Redeemable Iridium Interests. The Company shall in good faith use all reasonable efforts as expeditiously as possible to eliminate, or obtain an exception, waiver or exemption from, any and all restrictions under applicable law or otherwise that prevented the Company from paying any portion of the Iridium Redemption Price and redeeming all of the outstanding Redeemable Iridium Interests. At any time thereafter when additional funds of the Company are available by law for the redemption of the outstanding Redeemable Iridium Interests, such funds will be used, as soon as they become available, to redeem the balance of such Redeemable Iridium Interests to be so redeemed in accordance with the terms hereof or such portion thereof for which funds are available, on the basis set forth above. If funds are not available by law or otherwise for the payment in full of the Iridium Redemption Price for the Redeemable Iridium Interests to be so redeemed on any date, then the Company shall be obliged to make a partial redemption of the Redeemable Iridium Interests.

 

3.6.7.4           Subject to Sections 3.6.7.5 and 3.6.7.6 below, upon redemption of the Redeemable Iridium Interests,

 

3.6.7.4.1           Enav US Subsidiary’s Preferred Interests (or Common Interests, if such Member has made its Conversion Election) will be increased to the amount of Preferred Interests convertible into (or, if applicable, Common Interests equal to) the Funded Enav Post-Redemption Target Percentage; and

 

3.6.7.4.2           IAA’s Preferred Interests (or Common Interests, if such Member has made its Conversion Election) will be increased to the amount of Preferred Interests convertible into (or, if applicable, Common Interests equal to) the Funded IAA Post-Redemption Target Percentage; and

 

3.6.7.4.3           NAV CANADA US Subsidiary’s Preferred Interests (or Common Interests, if such Member has made its Conversion Election) will be increased to the amount of Preferred Interests convertible into (or, if applicable, Common Interests equal to) the Funded NAV CANADA Post-Redemption Target Percentage; and

3.6.7.5           In the event of a partial redemption pursuant to Section 3.6.7.3, the increases provided for in Section 3.6.7.4 above shall be reduced on a pro rata basis to reflect the partial redemption. In the event that additional Members are admitted, the Parties shall in good faith negotiate adjustments to the post-redemption percentages set forth in this agreement.

 

3.6.7.6           In the event that NAV CANADA, any Additional Investor or any Additional Investor Subsidiary has, prior to the Mandatory Iridium Redemption, transferred all or a portion of its Interests in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, then upon the occurrence of the Mandatory Iridium Redemption, the transferee(s) shall receive all or such portion of the Interests provided for in Sections 3.6.7.4 and 3.6.7.5 on a pro rata basis based on the portion(s) so transferred.

 

3.6.7.7           For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, except for Mandatory Redemptions or as set forth in Section 4.1.2, prior to the Mandatory Iridium Redemption of all Redeemable Iridium Interests, the Company shall not make any other redemption of Interests or any dividends or distributions to any Members.

 

3.6.8           Incentive Plan. Subject to approval by the Members holding Preferred Interests pursuant to Section 12.1, the Board of Directors may be authorized to create an incentive plan (the “Plan”) pursuant to which the Chief Executive Officer, subject to prior approval by the Board of Directors pursuant to Section 6.12.1.17, may grant non-voting, participation or profit sharing rights of the Company’s appreciated value to employees, directors and other service providers of the Company, subject to such vesting and other restrictions as the Board of Directors may deem appropriate (all such rights, “Participation Rights”). In no event shall any Participation Rights or other rights under such plan constitute Interests, Interest Equivalents or other equity of the Company.

 

3.6.9           Revision of Member Register upon Issuance of New Interests. When new Interests are issued as permitted by the terms of this Agreement, the Member Register shall be updated by the Board of Directors in accordance with the terms hereof to reflect such issuance.

DISTRIBUTIONS; ALLOCATIONS OF PROFITS AND LOSSES

 

4.1           Distributions and Payments.

 

4.1.1           Distributions of Available Cash. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, if approved by the Board of Directors in accordance with Section 6.12.1, the Board of Directors shall cause the Company to distribute Available Cash with respect to a fiscal quarter or such shorter period of time as determined by the Board of Directors from time to time to the Members. Except as otherwise provided in Section 4.1.3, any such distributions of Available Cash shall be made to the Members in the following manner and priority:

 

4.1.1.1           First, to the Members holding Preferred Interests and Non-Voting Preferred Interests in proportion to their respective Unpaid Dividends, if any, until all Unpaid Dividends as of such date have been paid.

 

4.1.1.2           Then, to the Members holding Common Interests in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests as of the time of such distribution.

 

4.1.1.3           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, except pursuant to Section 4.1.2, in no event shall the Company make any distributions on any Common Interest prior to January 1, 2016.

 

4.1.2           Liquidation Event Distributions. After satisfaction or discharge of all the debts, liabilities and obligations of the Company (including, without limitation, all expenses incurred in the Liquidation Event and setting aside any reserves needed for contingent or deferred liabilities all as determined by the Board of Directors in accordance with Section 12), the remaining proceeds of a Liquidation Event available for distribution to the Members shall be distributed amongst the Members in the following manner and priority:

 

4.1.2.1           First, to the Members holding Preferred Interests and Non-Voting Preferred Interests in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests and Non-Voting Preferred Interests until each Member’s Unpaid Dividend, as of such date of distribution, is zero.

 

4.1.2.2           Then, to the Members holding Preferred Interests and Non-Voting Preferred Interests in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests, until each Member’s Unreturned Capital is zero.

 

4.1.2.3           Then, to the Members holding Common Interests in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests as of the time of such distribution.

36
 

 

4.1.3.1           No distribution (including distributions in redemption of Interests or upon Dissolution) shall be made to any Member to the extent that, after giving effect to the distribution, all liabilities of the Company (other than liabilities to Members on account of their Interests) would exceed the fair market value of the Company’s assets.

 

4.1.3.2           In the event an Additional Member is admitted to the Company after the beginning of any particular fiscal period (including the beginning of a month), the Board of Directors may, in its sole discretion, allow such Additional Member to participate in all distributions attributable to such fiscal period, including distributions made prior to such Additional Member’s admission to the Company. The Board of Directors may effectuate such participation in whatever manner they deem appropriate, including, without limitation, by specially allocating subsequent distributions away from existing Members to such Additional Member, or by holding back a portion of prior distributions in anticipation of an Additional Member’s admission, and then making a special distribution of such held-back amounts solely to the Additional Member.

 

4.1.3.3           To the extent that the Board determines to distribute property in-kind, either pursuant to Section 4.1.1 or 4.1.2, such property’s fair market value shall be determined by the Board of Directors in good faith and any distribution which includes such in-kind property shall be apportioned in a manner such that the recipients of such distribution receive a proportionate share (based on the relative dollar amounts distributable to each such recipient in such distribution) of any cash and of the relative fair market value of each class or type of in-kind property constituting a part of such distribution, unless a different apportionment is agreed by each Member participating in such distribution. The value of such non-cash proceeds shall be equal to the fair market value of the non-cash proceeds at the time of the distribution as determined in good faith by the Board.

 

4.1.3.4           Except as otherwise provided in Section 5.4.5, the holder of a Common Interest which was formerly a Preferred Interest shall not be entitled to any adjustments in respect of previous distributions on Common Interests, and shall share only in such Member’s Common Interest percentage of any distributions made pursuant to Section 4.1.1.2 and 4.1.2.3 after such Member makes the Conversion Election.  The apportionment of any particular distribution made pursuant to Section 4.1.1.2 or 4.1.2.3 will be based on the Members’ respective Percentage Interest in Common Interest at the time of such distribution, regardless of whether a Member’s previous Percentage Interest in Common Interest was lower or higher.

 

4.1.3.5           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Preferred Interest shall be entitled to receive distributions under both Section 4.1.2.2 and 4.1.2.3. Except as provided in Section 4.1.1.3, if a Preferred Interest is still eligible for a Conversion Election as of the date of a distribution pursuant to such Sections, the holder of such Preferred Interest shall be required to choose between (i) making a Conversion Election and receiving distributions (if any) pursuant to Section 4.1.2.3, and (ii) not making a Conversion Election and receiving distributions (if any) pursuant to Section 4.1.2.2.

4.1.3.6           For the avoidance of doubt, the Company’s obligation to pay any Unpaid Dividends pursuant to Section 5.4.4 shall have priority over any distribution pursuant to Section 4.1.

 

4.2           Allocation of Profits and Losses. After applying Section 4.3, the Company’s Net Profit and Net Loss (and, if determined by the Board in consultation with the Company’s tax advisors, individual component items thereof) for any Accounting Period shall be allocated among the Members in such a manner that, as of the end of such Accounting Period and to the extent possible with respect to each Member, each Member’s Adjusted Capital Account shall be equal to the respective net amounts, positive or negative, which would be distributed to them or for which they would be liable to the Company under this Agreement, determined as if the Company were to: (A) liquidate all of the assets of the Company for an amount equal to their Book Value and (B) distribute the proceeds of such liquidation in the manner described in Section 4.1.2 of this Agreement.

 

4.3           Regulatory and Special Allocations. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 4.2, Net Profit, Net Loss and items thereof shall be allocated to the Members in the manner and to the extent required by the Treasury Regulations under Section 704 of the Code, including without limitation, the provisions thereof dealing with minimum gain chargebacks, partner minimum gain chargebacks, qualified income offsets, partnership nonrecourse deductions, partner nonrecourse deductions, forfeiture allocations, and the provisions dealing with deficit capital accounts in Sections 1.704-2(g)(1), 1.704-2(i)(5), and 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d).

 

4.4           Tax Allocations; Code Section 704(c). The income, gains, losses, deductions and expenses of the Company shall be allocated, for federal, state and local income tax purposes, among the Members in accordance with the allocation of such income, gains, losses, deductions and expenses among such Member for computing their Capital Accounts, except that if any such allocation is not permitted by the Code or other applicable law, the Company’s subsequent income, gains, losses, deductions and expenses shall be allocated among the Members for tax purposes to the extent permitted by the Code and other applicable law, so as to reflect as nearly as possible the allocation set forth herein in computing their Capital Accounts. Notwithstanding the previous sentence, such items shall be allocated among the Members in a different manner to the extent required by Code Section 704(c) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder (dealing with contributed property), Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f) (dealing with property having a book value different than its tax basis) and 1.704-1(b)(4)(ii) (dealing with tax credit items). The Members agree that, for purposes of Section 704(c) of the Code, (i) with respect to tax items attributable to property contributed to the Company on the A&R Effective Date of this Agreement and having a book value different than its tax basis, the Company will use the “remedial method” as described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-3(d), and (ii) with respect to tax items attributable to any other book-tax differences (whether from property contributed to the Company in the future, or resulting from revaluations of Company property), the Company will use the “traditional method” as described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-3(b) unless the Board in its reasonable discretion directs the Company to use a method other than the traditional method. Allocations pursuant to this Section 4.4 are solely for purposes of federal, state and local taxes and shall not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, any Member’s Capital Account or share of profits, losses, other items or distributions pursuant to any provisions of this Agreement.

4.5           Tax Payments. If and to the extent the Company is required by law (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors) to make payments with respect to any Member in amounts required to discharge any legal obligation of the Company owed to any governmental authority with respect to any federal, state or local tax liability of such Member arising as a result of such Member’s interest in the Company (“Tax Payments”), then such Member shall be required to promptly pay to the Company an amount of cash equal to such Tax Payments, and the Company shall be entitled to withhold such amount from distributions, redemption or sale proceeds payable to such Member in the event such Member fails to promptly make such payment to the Company.

Such notice shall also specify the portion of such Member’s Interest with respect to which the Conversion Election applies. The Business Day that the Company receives such written or electronic notice shall be the “Election Date” for such Member’s Conversion Election. Such Conversion Election shall be deemed effective as of the Election Date.

The Company will pay an electing Member’s Unpaid Dividend with respect to the portion of such Member’s Preferred Interest for which a Conversion Election or IPO Conversion, as applicable, is made within five (5) Business Days of such Member’s Conversion Election or IPO Conversion, as applicable; provided that if such payment by the Company would result in a default under the terms of any indebtedness of the Company or the Company is unable to pay such Accrued Dividends due to insufficient Available Cash, then such payment will be made within five (5) Business Days of the removal of such restriction, or the achievement of Available Cash, as applicable; provided that any such Unpaid Dividend shall accrue interest beginning on the 6th Business Day after such Member’s Conversion Election or IPO Conversion, as applicable, at a rate equal to the lesser of (i) LIBOR, plus three and one-half percent 3.5%, or (ii) six percent (6.0%), per annum until fully paid.

An adjustment made pursuant to this Section 5.4.5.1 shall become effective retroactively (1) in the case of any such distribution, to a date immediately following the close of business on the record date for the determination of holders of Common Interest entitled to receive such distribution or (2) in the case of any such subdivision, split, combination, reclassification or recapitalization, to the close of business on the day upon which such action becomes effective.

Any certificate delivered pursuant to this Section 5.4.5.2 shall provide for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in other paragraphs of this Section 5.4.5.

 

5.4.5.3           If the Company at any time or from time to time, prior to the conversion of any Preferred Interests, shall take any action affecting the Common Interests similar to or having an effect similar to any of the actions described in the foregoing paragraphs of this Sections 5.4.5 (but not including any action described in any such paragraphs), and the Board of Directors in good faith determines that it would be equitable in the circumstances to adjust the Preferred Interests as a result of such action, then, and in each such case, the Preferred Interests shall be adjusted in such manner and at such time as the Board of Directors in good faith determines would be equitable in the circumstances (such determination to be evidenced in a resolution, a copy of which shall be delivered to the Members holding Preferred Interests). Upon any adjustment of the Preferred Interests, the Company shall, within a reasonable period (not to exceed ten (10) days) following the transactions giving rise to such adjustment, deliver to each Member holding Preferred Interests a certificate, signed by a duly authorized officer of the Company, setting forth in reasonable detail the event requiring the adjustment and the method by which such adjustment was calculated and specifying the increased or decreased of the Preferred Interests then in effect following such adjustment.

13.8         Dispute Resolution.

 

13.8.1      The parties shall attempt in good faith to resolve any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement promptly by negotiation between executives who have authority to settle the controversy and who are at a higher level of management than the persons with direct responsibility for administration of this Agreement. Any party may give the other party written notice of any dispute not resolved in the normal course of business. Within 15 days after delivery of the notice, the receiving party shall submit to the other a written response. The notice and response shall include with reasonable particularity (a) a statement of each party’s position and a summary of arguments supporting that position, and (b) the name and title of the executive who will represent that party and of any other person who will accompany the executive. Within 30 days after delivery of the notice, the executives of both parties shall meet at a mutually acceptable time and place.

 

13.8.2      Unless otherwise agreed in writing by the negotiating parties, the above-described negotiation shall end at the close of the first meeting of executives described above (“First Meeting”). Such closure shall not preclude continuing or later negotiations, if desired.

 

13.8.3      All offers, promises, conduct and statements, whether oral or written, made in the course of the negotiation by any of the parties, their agents, employees, experts and attorneys are confidential, privileged and inadmissible for any purpose, including impeachment, in arbitration or other proceeding involving the parties, provided that evidence that is otherwise admissible or discoverable shall not be rendered inadmissible or non-discoverable as a result of its use in the negotiation.

 

13.8.4      At no time prior to the First Meeting shall either side initiate any litigation related to this Agreement except to pursue a provisional remedy that is authorized by law or by agreement of the parties. However, this limitation is inapplicable to a party if the other party refuses to comply with the requirements of Section 13.8.1 above.

 

13.8.5      All applicable statutes of limitation and defenses based upon the passage of time shall be tolled while the procedures specified in Sections 13.8.1 and 13.8.2 above are pending and for 15 calendar days thereafter. The parties will take such action, if any, required to effectuate such tolling.

 

*** Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked by brackets, has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

 

79
 

 

13.8.6      If the parties do not reach a resolution to the dispute within a period of thirty (30) days from the date of the First Meeting, then either party may pursue its remedies in accordance with applicable law.

 

13.9         Severability of Provisions. Each Section of this Agreement constitutes a separate and distinct undertaking, covenant and/or provision hereof. In the event that any provision of this Agreement shall finally be determined to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law, then:

 

13.9.1      all such provisions shall be deemed severed from this Agreement;

 

13.9.2      every other provision of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect; and

 

13.9.3      in substitution for any such provision held invalid, illegal or unenforceable, there shall be substituted a provision of similar import reflecting the original intent of the parties hereto to the extent permissible under applicable law.

 

13.10         Section Titles. Section titles are for descriptive purposes only and shall not control or alter the meaning of this Agreement as set forth in the text.

 

13.11         Further Assurance. The Members shall execute and deliver such further instruments and do such further acts and things as may be required to carry out the intent and purposes of this Agreement.

 

13.12         Directly or Indirectly. Where any provision in this Agreement refers to action to be taken by any person, or which such person is prohibited from taking, such provision shall be applicable whether the action in question is taken directly or indirectly by such person.

 

13.13         Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original of this Agreement.

 

13.14         Effect of Waiver and Consent. A waiver or consent, express or implied, to or of any breach or default by any person in the performance by that person of its obligations hereunder or with respect to the Company is not a consent or waiver to or of any other breach or default in the performance by that person of the same or any other obligations of that person hereunder or with respect to the Company. Failure on the part of a person to complain of any act of any person or to declare any person in default hereunder or with respect to the Company, irrespective of how long that failure continues, does not constitute a waiver by that person of its rights with respect to that default until the applicable statute-of-limitations period has run.

13.15         Waiver of Certain Rights. Each Member irrevocably waives any right it may have to demand any distributions (other than the Accrued Dividends, if any) or withdrawal of property from the Company or to maintain any action for dissolution (except pursuant to Section 18-802 of the Act) of the Company or for partition of the property of the Company.

 

13.16         Notice of Provisions. By executing this Agreement, each Member acknowledges that it has actual notice of (i) all of the provisions hereof (including, without limitation, the restrictions on Transfer set forth in Article 11), and (ii) all of the provisions of the Certificate.

 

13.17         Entire Agreement. This Agreement together with the other agreements and instruments entered into in connection herewith constitutes the entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the transactions contemplated herein, and supersedes all other prior understandings or agreements among the Members with respect to such transactions.

 

13.18         Amendments. Subject to Sections 3.6.9, 6.12.1.16 and 12.1.1.2, the Certificate and this Agreement may only be amended in writing executed and delivered by (i) the Company with the approval of the Board of Directors in accordance with the terms hereof and (ii) a Majority-In-Interest of the Members holding Voting Interests; provided however that the holders of Non-Voting Preferred Interests shall also be included in the determination of the Majority-In-Interest of the Members the foregoing clause (ii) to the extent that any proposed amendment would materially, adversely and disproportionately affect the rights and privileges of the holders of Non-Voting Preferred Interests, which are subject to Section 6.12.9.

 

13.19         Remedies. The Members acknowledge and agree that, in addition to all other remedies available (at law or otherwise) to the Company, the Company shall be entitled to equitable relief (including injunction and specific performance) as a remedy for any breach or threatened breach of any provision of this Agreement. The Members further acknowledge and agree that the Company shall not be required to obtain, furnish or post any bond or similar instrument in connection with or as a condition to obtaining any remedy referred to in this Section, and the Members waive any right any of them may have to require that the Company obtain, furnish or post any such bond or similar instrument.

All Holders proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting by the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities held by all Initiating Holders (which underwriter or underwriters shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 1.2 or Section 1.4, if the underwriter advises the Company that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of securities to be underwritten (including Registrable Securities) then the Company shall so advise all Holders of Registrable Securities that would otherwise be underwritten pursuant hereto, and the number of shares that may be included in the underwriting shall be allocated to the Holders of such Registrable Securities on a pro rata basis based on the number of Registrable Securities held by all such Holders (including the Initiating Holders); provided, however, that the number of shares of Registrable Securities to be included in such underwriting and registration shall not be reduced unless all other securities of the Company are first entirely excluded from the underwriting and registration.

(iii)        during the period starting with the date of filing of, and ending on the date one hundred eighty (180) days following the effective date of the registration statement pertaining to a public offering, other than pursuant to a Special Registration Statement; provided that the Company makes reasonable good faith efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective;

Each Holder desiring to include in any such registration statement all or any part of the Registrable Securities held by it shall, within fifteen (15) days after the above-described notice from the Company, so notify the Company in writing. Such notice shall state the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Securities by such Holder. If a Holder decides not to include all of its Registrable Securities in any registration statement thereafter filed by the Company, such Holder shall nevertheless continue to have the right to include any Registrable Securities in any subsequent registration statement or registration statements as may be filed by the Company with respect to offerings of its securities, all upon the terms and conditions set forth herein.

In such event, the right of any such Holder to include Registrable Securities in a registration pursuant to this Section 1.3 shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided herein. All Holders proposing to distribute their Registrable Securities through such underwriting shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting by the Company. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the underwriter determines in good faith that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten, the number of shares that may be included in the underwriting shall be allocated, first, to the Company; second, to the Holders on a pro rata basis based on the total number of Registrable Securities held by the Holders; and third, to any stockholder of the Company (other than a Holder) on a pro rata basis; provided, however, that no such reduction shall reduce the amount of securities of the selling Holders included in the registration below thirty percent (30%) of the total amount of securities included in such registration, unless such offering is the Initial Offering and such registration does not include shares of any other selling stockholders, in which event any or all of the Registrable Securities of the Holders may be excluded in accordance with the immediately preceding clause. In no event will shares of any other selling stockholder be included in such registration that would reduce the number of shares which may be included by Holders without the written consent of Holders of not less than a majority of the Registrable Securities proposed to be sold in the offering. If any Holder disapproves of the terms of any such underwriting, such Holder may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company and the underwriter, delivered at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the effective date of the registration statement. Any Registrable Securities excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting shall be excluded and withdrawn from the registration. For any Holder which is a partnership, limited liability company or corporation, the partners, retired partners, members, retired members and stockholders of such Holder, or the estates and family members of any such partners, retired partners, members and retired members and any trusts for the benefit of any of the foregoing person shall be deemed to be a single “Holder,” and any pro rata reduction with respect to such “Holder” shall be based upon the aggregate amount of shares carrying registration rights owned by all entities and individuals included in such “Holder,” as defined in this sentence.

 

(b)          Right to Terminate Registration. The Company shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under this Section 1.3 whether or not any Holder has elected to include securities in such registration, and shall promptly notify any Holder that has elected to include shares in such registration of such termination or withdrawal. The Registration Expenses of such withdrawn registration shall be borne by the Company in accordance with Section 1.5 hereof.

 

1.4           Form S-3 Registration. In case the Company shall receive from any Holder or Holders of Registrable Securities a written request or requests that the Company effect a registration on Form S-3 (or any successor to Form S-3) or any similar short-form registration statement and any related qualification or compliance with respect to all or a part of the Registrable Securities owned by such Holder or Holders, the Company will:

 

(a)          promptly give written notice of the proposed registration, and any related qualification or compliance, to all other Holders of Registrable Securities; and

(b)          as soon as practicable, effect such registration and all such qualifications and compliances as may be so requested and as would permit or facilitate the sale and distribution of all or such portion of such Holder’s or Holders’ Registrable Securities as are specified in such request, together with all or such portion of the Registrable Securities of any other Holder or Holders joining in such request as are specified in a written request given within fifteen (15) days after receipt of such written notice from the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to effect any such registration, qualification or compliance pursuant to this Section 1.4:

 

(i)          if Form S-3 is not available for such offering by the Holders, or

 

(ii)         if the Holders, together with the holders of any other securities of the Company entitled to inclusion in such registration, propose to sell Registrable Securities and such other securities (if any) at an aggregate price to the public of less than one million dollars ($1,000,000), or

 

(iii)        if within thirty (30) days of receipt of a written request from any Holder or Holders pursuant to this Section 1.4, the Company gives notice to such Holder or Holders of the Company’s intention to make a public offering within ninety (90) days, other than pursuant to a Special Registration Statement;

 

(iv)        if the Company shall furnish to the Holders a certificate signed by the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company, it would be materially detrimental to the Company and its stockholders for such Form S-3 registration to be effected at such time, in which event the Company shall have the right to defer the filing of the Form S-3 registration statement for a period of not more than sixty (60) days after receipt of the request of the Holder or Holders under this Section 1.4; provided, that such right to delay a request shall be exercised by the Company not more than twice in any twelve (12) month period,

 

(v)         if the Company has, within the twelve (12) month period preceding the date of such request, already effected two (2) registrations on Form S-3 for the Holders pursuant to this Section 1.4, or

 

(vi)        in any particular jurisdiction in which the Company would be required to qualify to do business or to execute a general consent to service of process in effecting such registration, qualification or compliance.

 

(c)          Subject to the foregoing, the Company shall file a Form S-3 registration statement covering the Registrable Securities and other securities so requested to be registered as soon as practicable after receipt of the requests of the Holders. Registrations effected pursuant to this Section 1.4 shall not be counted as demands for registration or registrations effected pursuant to Section 1.2. All Registration Expenses incurred in connection with registrations requested pursuant to this Section 1.4 after the first two (2) registrations shall be paid by the selling Holders pro rata in proportion to the number of shares to be sold by each such Holder in any such registration.

1.5           Expenses of Registration. Except as specifically provided herein, all Registration Expenses incurred in connection with any registration, qualification or compliance pursuant to Section 1.2, 1.3 or 1.4 herein shall be borne by the Company. All Selling Expenses incurred in connection with any registrations hereunder, shall be borne by the holders of the securities so registered pro rata on the basis of the number of shares so registered. The Company shall not, however, be required to pay for expenses of any registration proceeding begun pursuant to Section 1.2 or 1.4, the request of which has been subsequently withdrawn by the Initiating Holders unless (a) the withdrawal is based upon material adverse information concerning the Company of which the Initiating Holders were not aware at the time of such request or (b) the Holders of a majority of Registrable Securities agree to deem such registration to have been effected as of the date of such withdrawal for purposes of determining whether the Company shall be obligated pursuant to Section 1.2(c) or 1.4(b)(5), as applicable, to undertake any subsequent registration, in which event such right shall be forfeited by all Holders). If the Holders are required to pay the Registration Expenses, such expenses shall be borne by the holders of securities (including Registrable Securities) requesting such registration in proportion to the number of shares for which registration was requested. If the Company is required to pay the Registration Expenses of a withdrawn offering pursuant to clause (a) above, then such registration shall not be deemed to have been effected for purposes of determining whether the Company shall be obligated pursuant to Section 1.2(c) or 1.4(b)(5), as applicable, to undertake any subsequent registration.

 

1.6           Obligations of the Company. Whenever required to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities, the Company shall, as expeditiously as reasonably possible:

 

(a)          prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement with respect to such Registrable Securities and use all reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective and, upon the request of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities registered thereunder, keep such registration statement effective for up to thirty (30) days or, if earlier, until the Holder or Holders have completed the distribution related thereto; provided, however, that at any time, upon written notice to the participating Holders and for a period not to exceed sixty (60) days thereafter (the “Suspension Period”), the Company may delay the filing or effectiveness of any registration statement or suspend the use or effectiveness of any registration statement (and the Initiating Holders hereby agree not to offer or sell any Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration statement during the Suspension Period) if the Company reasonably believes that there is or may be in existence material nonpublic information or events involving the Company, the failure of which to be disclosed in the prospectus included in the registration statement could result in a Violation (as defined below). In the event that the Company shall exercise its right to delay or suspend the filing or effectiveness of a registration hereunder, the applicable time period during which the registration statement is to remain effective shall be extended by a period of time equal to the duration of the Suspension Period. The Company may extend the Suspension Period for an additional consecutive sixty (60) days with the consent of the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities registered under the applicable registration statement, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. In no event shall any Suspension Period, when taken together with all prior Suspension Periods, exceed 120 days in the aggregate. If so directed by the Company, all Holders registering shares under such registration statement shall (i) not offer to sell any Registrable Securities pursuant to the registration statement during the period in which the delay or suspension is in effect after receiving notice of such delay or suspension; and (ii) use their best efforts to deliver to the Company (at the Company’s expense) all copies, other than permanent file copies then in such Holders’ possession, of the prospectus relating to such Registrable Securities current at the time of receipt of such notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to file, cause to become effective or maintain the effectiveness of any registration statement other than a registration statement on Form S-3 that contemplates a distribution of securities on a delayed or continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act.

(b)          Prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection with such registration statement as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement for the period set forth in subsection (a) above.

 

(c)          Furnish to the Holders such number of copies of a prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents as they may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of Registrable Securities owned by them.

 

(d)          Use its reasonable efforts to register and qualify the securities covered by such registration statement under such other securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as shall be reasonably requested by the Holders; provided that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to qualify to do business or to file a general consent to service of process in any such states or jurisdictions.

 

(e)          In the event of any underwritten public offering, enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary form, with the managing underwriter(s) of such offering. Each Holder participating in such underwriting shall also enter into and perform its obligations under such an agreement.

(f)          Notify each Holder of Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included 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 the light of the circumstances then existing. The Company will amend or supplement such prospectus in order to cause such prospectus not to include any 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 not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing.

 

(g)          Use its reasonable efforts to furnish, on the date that such Registrable Securities are delivered to the underwriters for sale, if such securities are being sold through underwriters, (i) an opinion, dated as of such date, of the counsel representing the Company for the purposes of such registration, in form and substance as is customarily given to underwriters in an underwritten public offering, addressed to the underwriters, if any, and (ii) a letter, dated as of such date, from the independent certified public accountants of the Company, in form and substance as is customarily given by independent certified public accountants to underwriters in an underwritten public offering addressed to the underwriters.

 

1.7           Delay of Registration; Furnishing Information.

 

(a)          No Holder shall have any right to obtain or seek an injunction restraining or otherwise delaying any such registration as the result of any controversy that might arise with respect to the interpretation or implementation of this Section 1.7.

 

(b)          It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to take any action pursuant to Section 1.2, 1.3 or 1.4 that the selling Holders shall furnish to the Company such information regarding themselves, the Registrable Securities held by them and the intended method of disposition of such securities as shall be required to effect the registration of their Registrable Securities.

 

(c)          The Company shall have no obligation with respect to any registration requested pursuant to Section 1.2 or Section 1.4 if the number of shares or the anticipated aggregate offering price of the Registrable Securities to be included in the registration does not equal or exceed the number of shares or the anticipated aggregate offering price required to originally trigger the Company’s obligation to initiate such registration as specified in Section 1.2 and Section 1.4, whichever is applicable.

1.8           Indemnification. In the event any Registrable Securities are included in a registration statement under Sections 1.2, 1.3 or 1.4:

 

(a)          To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, the partners, members, officers, employees, stockholders and directors of each Holder, any underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act) for such Holder and each person, if any, who controls such Holder or underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, against any losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (joint or several) to which they may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any of the following statements, omissions or violations (collectively a “Violation”) by the Company: (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in such registration statement or incorporated reference therein, including any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or any amendments or supplements thereto, (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (iii) any violation or alleged 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 in connection with the offering covered by such registration statement; and the Company will reimburse each such Holder, partner, member, officer, director, underwriter or controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 1.8(a) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, nor shall the Company be liable in any such case for any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action to the extent that it arises out of or is based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished expressly for use in connection with such registration by such Holder, partner, member, officer, director, underwriter or controlling person of such Holder.

A-10

 

 

(b)          To the extent permitted by law, each Holder will, if Registrable Securities held by such Holder are included in the securities as to which such registration qualifications or compliance is being effected, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, its officers and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, any underwriter and any other Holder selling securities under such registration statement or any of such other Holder’s partners, members, directors, stockholders, employees or officers or any person who controls such Holder, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (joint or several) to which the Company or any such director, officer, controlling person, underwriter or other such Holder, or partner, director, officer or controlling person of such other Holder may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereto) arise out of or are based upon any of the following statements: (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in such registration statement or incorporated reference therein, including any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or any amendments or supplements thereto, (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act (collectively, a “Holder Violation”), in each case to the extent (and only to the extent) that such Holder Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by such Holder under an instrument duly executed by such Holder and stated to be specifically for use in connection with such registration; and each such Holder will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company or any such director, officer, controlling person, underwriter or other Holder, or partner, officer, director or controlling person of such other Holder in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if it is judicially determined that there was such a Holder Violation; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 1.8(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Holder, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided further, that in no event shall any indemnity under this Section 1.8 exceed the net proceeds from the offering received by such Holder.

 

(c)          Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 1.8 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action), such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 1.8, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the parties; provided, however, that an indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, with the fees and expenses thereof to be paid by the indemnifying party, if representation of such indemnified party by the counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such indemnified party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the indemnified party under this Section 2.8 to the extent, and only to the extent, prejudicial to its ability to defend such action, but the omission so to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 1.8.

(d)          If the indemnification provided for in this Section 1.8 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to herein, the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, shall to the extent permitted by applicable law contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and of the indemnified party on the other in connection with the Violation(s) or Holder Violation(s) that resulted in such loss, claim, damage or liability, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be determined by a court of law by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission; provided, that in no event shall any contribution by a Holder hereunder exceed the net proceeds from the offering received by such Holder.

 

(e)          The obligations of the Company and Holders under this Section 1.8 shall survive completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in a registration statement and, with respect to liability arising from an offering to which this Section 1.8 would apply that is covered by a registration filed before termination of this Agreement, such termination. No indemnifying party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation, shall, except with the consent of each indemnified party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

 

1.9           Assignment of Registration Rights. The rights to cause the Company to register Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 1 may be assigned by a Holder to a transferee or assignee of Registrable Securities (for so long as such shares remain Registrable Securities) that (a) is a subsidiary, parent, general partner, limited partner, retired partner, member or retired member, or stockholder of a Holder that is a corporation, partnership or limited liability company, (b) is a Holder’s family member or trust for the benefit of an individual Holder, or (c) acquires at least five hundred thousand (500,000) shares of Registrable Securities (as adjusted for stock splits and combinations); or (d) is an entity affiliated by common control (or other related entity) with such Holder provided, however, (i) the transferor shall, within ten (10) days after such transfer, furnish to the Company written notice of the name and address of such transferee or assignee and the securities with respect to which such registration rights are being assigned and (ii) such transferee shall agree to be subject to all restrictions set forth in this Agreement.

 

1.10         Limitation on Subsequent Registration Rights. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall not enter into any agreement with any holder or prospective holder of any securities of the Company that would grant such holder rights to demand the registration of shares of the Company’s capital stock, or to include such shares in a registration statement that would reduce the number of shares includable by the Holders.

Each Holder hereby agrees that such Holder shall not sell, transfer, make any short sale of, grant any option for the purchase of, or enter into any hedging or similar transaction with the same economic effect as a sale, any Common Stock (or other securities) of the Company held by such Holder (other than those included in the registration) (i) during the 180-day period following the effective date of the Initial Offering (or such longer period, not to exceed 34 days after the expiration of the 180-day period, as the underwriters or the Company shall request in order to facilitate compliance with NASD Rule 2711 or NYSE Member Rule 472 or any successor or similar rule or regulation); provided, that, with respect to (i) and (ii) above, all officers and directors of the Company and holders of at least one percent (1%) of the Company’s voting securities are bound by and have entered into similar agreements. The obligations described in this Section 1.11 shall not apply to a registration relating solely to employee benefit plans on Form S-1 or Form S-8 or similar forms that may be promulgated in the future, or a registration relating solely to a transaction on Form S-4 or similar forms that may be promulgated in the future.

 

1.12         Agreement to Furnish Information. Each Holder agrees to execute and deliver such other agreements as may be reasonably requested by the Company or the underwriter that are consistent with the Holder’s obligations under Section 1.11 or that are necessary to give further effect thereto. In addition, if requested by the Company or the representative of the underwriters of Common Stock (or other securities) of the Company, each Holder shall provide, within ten (10) days of such request, such information as may be required by the Company or such representative in connection with the completion of any public offering of the Company’s securities pursuant to a registration statement filed under the Securities Act. The obligations described in Section 1.11 and this Section 1.12 shall not apply to a Special Registration Statement. The Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the shares of Common Stock (or other securities) subject to the foregoing restriction until the end of said day period. Each Holder agrees that any transferee of any shares of Registrable Securities shall be bound by Sections 1.11 and 1.12.

(c)          So long as a Holder owns any Registrable Securities, furnish to such Holder forthwith upon request: a written statement by the Company as to its compliance with the reporting requirements of said Rule 144 of the Securities Act, and of the Exchange Act (at any time after it has become subject to such reporting requirements); a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company filed with the Commission; and such other reports and documents as a Holder may reasonably request in connection with availing itself of any rule or regulation of the SEC allowing it to sell any such securities without registration.

 

1.14         Termination of Registration Rights. The right of any Holder to request registration or inclusion of Registrable Securities in any registration pursuant to Section 1.2, Section 1.3, or Section 1.4 hereof shall terminate upon the earlier of: (i) in the event NAV CANADA US Subsidiary delivers, or is deemed to have delivered pursuant to the terms herein, written notice to the Company indicating that it elects not to fund any NAV CANADA Financing prior to the closing of the Third NAV CANADA Tranche Financing, the date three (3) years following an initial public offering that results in the conversion of all outstanding shares of Preferred stock; or (ii) such time as such Holder, as reflected on the Company’s list of stockholders, holds less than 1% of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock (treating all shares of Preferred Stock on an as converted basis), the Company has completed its Initial Offering and all Registrable Securities of the Company issuable or issued upon conversion of the Shares held by and issuable to such Holder (and its affiliates) may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 during any ninety (90) day period. Upon such termination, such shares shall cease to be “Registrable Securities” hereunder for all purposes.
