ITEM 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

D4D is the beneficial owner of 1,428,572 shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock (the “Bridge Loan Shares”), of which 714,286 shares of Common Stock are currently issued and outstanding, with 714,286 shares of Common Stock being issuable within sixty (60) days upon D4D’s exercise of a Common Stock Warrant. On February 24, 2014, D4D entered into a number of agreements to consummate a bridge loan in the Issuer and SDP, which included, among other documents, the following:

 

    That certain Securities Purchase Agreement dated February 24, 2014 by and between D4D and SD Company and SDP (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”);

 

    That certain Secured Convertible Promissory Note dated February 24, 2014 by and between SD Company and SDP, as borrowers, in favor of D4D, as lender (the “Convertible Note”);

 

    That certain Form of Common Stock Purchase Warrant to be issued upon conversion of the Convertible Note (a fully executed version of which is attached, the “Warrant”); and

 

    That certain Form of Registration Rights Agreement to be delivered pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”, and together with the Securities Purchase Agreement, Convertible Note, Warrant and other ancillary documents, the “Bridge Loan Documents”).

Upon the Issuer’s IPO, consummated May 29, 2014, the balance of the Convertible Note automatically converted into (i) shares of the Issuer’s common stock at 70% of the per share price in the IPO, which resulted in the issuance of 714,286 shares to D4D (the “Conversion Shares”), and (ii) the Warrant, which enables D4D the option to purchase a number of additional shares of the Issuer’s common stock equal to the number of Conversion Shares (the “Warrant Shares”). Both the Conversion

 

6


Shares and the Warrant Shares are restricted, and may not be resold without registration or an exemption from registration. The Warrant is exercisable at D4D’s discretion and may be surrendered at any time for the Warrant Shares. Upon the exercise of the Warrant, D4D would own 7.9% of the then issued and outstanding shares of the Issuer.

Hard 4 Holdings joins this Schedule 13D because it is the sole managing member and 50% beneficial owner of D4D and, as a result, has shared control over the voting and disposition of the Bridge Loan Shares. Hard 4 Holdings is thus indirectly also a beneficial owner of the Bridge Loan Shares.

Mr. Walker joins this Schedule 13D because he is the manager and 100% beneficial owner of Hard 4 Holdings, which is the sole managing member of D4D. As a result, Mr. Walker indirectly shares controls of the voting and disposition of the Bridge Loan Shares through Hard 4 Holdings. Mr. Walker also acquired 185,714 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer (the “Walker Shares”) on May 29, 2014 with personal funds via the Issuer’s IPO. As a result, Mr. Walker beneficially owns a total of 1,614,286 shares of the Issuer (including the Bridge Loan Shares and the Walker Shares), representing 9.0% of the Issuer’s then issued and outstanding Common Stock if the Warrant were exercised by D4D.

Neither the Bridge Loan Shares nor the Walker Shares were acquired (or will be acquired) using borrowed funds, and none are pledged as security against borrowed funds.

The foregoing descriptions of the Bridge Loan Documents are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of each such agreement.

 

ITEM 4. Purpose of Transaction.

D4D entered into the Bridge Loan Documents as an investment in SD Company and SDP, with the opportunity to convert the Convertible Note into the Conversion Shares and the Warrant upon certain designated triggers.

Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, D4D agreed to purchase, and the Issuer and SDP agreed to sell, the Convertible Note, subject to certain terms and conditions. The Securities Purchase Agreement requires that any assignee of the Bridge Loan Shares or the Warrant sign an Assignment Agreement in a form attached thereto. In addition, the parties agreed to deliver the fully executed Registration Rights Agreement. The text of the Securities Purchase Agreement is incorporated herein by reference, and the foregoing description of the Securities Purchase Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such agreement.

The $2,000,000 Convertible Note had a two year maturity, with payments beginning November 1, 2014. The Convertible Note provided for automatic conversion and the issuance of the Warrant for additional shares upon a qualified equity financing (including an IPO), and voluntary conversion and the issuance of the Warrant for additional shares upon a non-qualified equity financing or change of control. In addition, the terms of the Convertible Note included conventional events of default and provided traditional lender remedies to D4D. The text of the Convertible Note is incorporated herein by reference, and the foregoing descriptions of the Convertible Note is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such agreement.

 

7


The Warrant provides that D4D (or its permitted assignee(s)) may exercise the warrant to purchase an additional number of shares equal to the Conversion Shares at the price of the shares sold in the IPO. D4D is permitted to assign the Warrant, including to its members in accordance with their pro rata ownership of D4D. The text of the Warrant is incorporated herein by reference, and the foregoing description of the Warrant is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such agreement.

The Registration Rights Agreement provides that D4D has the right, subject to certain terms and conditions and with notice, to include all or part of the Bridge Loan Securities (among other registerable securities) in any two Registration Statements on either Form S-1 or S-3 filed by the Issuer or by any other shareholder of the Issuer. The Issuer has agreed to cover the costs and fees associated with one such registration, and the parties have agreed that D4D’s registration rights shall terminate once all the registerable securities are eligible for resale under Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Registration Rights Agreement may be assigned by D4D to its constituent members. The text of the Registration Rights Agreement is incorporated herein by reference, and the foregoing description of the Registration Rights Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such agreement.

In addition to the Bridge Loan Shares, Mr. Walker also has beneficial ownership of the Walker Shares, which Mr. Walker purchased in the Issuer’s IPO.

It is the intention of the Reporting Parties, shortly following the filing of this Schedule 13D, subject to the satisfaction of certain requirements under the Bridge Loan Documents, to arrange for the distribution of stock certificates representing the Bridge Loan Shares in the name of each member of D4D in accordance with its pro rata membership interest, assign D4D’s rights and obligations under both the Warrant (unless the Warrant has been exercised) and the Registration Rights Agreement to its members in accordance with the terms of the Warrant, the Registration Rights Agreement and the Securities Agreement, and to dissolve D4D in accordance with the terms of D4D’s organizational documents and applicable law. Once D4D is dissolved, D4D will no longer exist and Hard 4 Holdings will beneficially own 714,285 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer, its 50% pro rata share of the Bridge Loan Shares, as a result of its 50% equity ownership of D4D. Accordingly, Mr. Walker will beneficially own 900,000 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer, resulting in a 5% ownership interest in the Issuer.

The shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons were acquired (or will be acquired, if at all) for investment purposes. The Reporting Persons intend to periodically review the investment in the Issuer and, based on a number of factors, including the Reporting Persons’ evaluation of the Issuer’s business prospects and financial condition, the market for the Issuer’s shares, the working capital needs of the Issuer, general economic and stock market conditions and other investment opportunities, the Reporting Persons may acquire additional securities of the Issuer or dispose of the Shares through open market or privately negotiated transactions, as applicable.

Except as set for the above, the Reporting Person does not have any additional current plans or proposals which would relate to or would result in:

 

    any extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries;

 

    a sale or transfer of a material amount of the assets of the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries;

 

    any change in the present board of directors or management of the Issuer, including any plans or proposals to change the number or term of directors or to fill any existing vacancies on the board, other than as described in the Subscription Agreement;

 

8


    any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer, except as provided in the Subscription Agreement;

 

    any other material change in the Issuer’s business or corporate structure, including, but not limited to, if the Issuer is a registered closed-end investment company, any plans or proposals to make any changes in its investment policy for which a vote is required by Section 13 of the Investment Company Act of 1940;

 

    changes in the Issuer’s charter, bylaws or instruments corresponding thereto or other actions which may impede acquisition of control of the Issuer by any person;

 

    causing a class of securities of the Issuer to be delisted from a national securities exchange or to cease to be authorized to be quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities association;

 

    a class of equity securities of the Issuer becoming eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Act; or

 

    any action similar to any of those enumerated above.

The Reporting Persons reserve the right to determine in the future to change the purpose or purposes described above, or engage in any of the activities set forth above.

(b) Automatic Conversion Procedure. The issuance of Conversion Securities upon conversion of the Note Balance shall be upon the terms and subject to the conditions no less favorable than the terms and conditions of the Qualified Equity Financing, except that Conversion Shares issued in the Initial Public Offering will be restricted common stock, and not publicly traded common stock. The Holder agrees to deliver the original of this Note (or a notice to the effect that the original Note has been lost, stolen or destroyed and an agreement mutually and reasonably acceptable to Borrower Parent and the Holder whereby the Holder agrees to indemnify Borrower Parent from any loss incurred by it in connection with this Note) at the closing of the Qualified Equity Financing for cancellation; provided, however, that upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in this Section 6(b), this Note shall be deemed converted and of no further force and effect, whether or not it is delivered for cancellation as set forth in this sentence.

(c) Optional Conversion.

(i) Non-Qualified Equity Financing. Upon the consummation of an equity financing that is not a Qualified Equity Financing or a Permitted Issuance (such financing, a “Non-Qualified Equity Financing”), all or a portion of the Note Balance shall be convertible at the option of the Holder into:

(1) that number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of the equity security sold by Borrower Parent in such Non-Qualified Equity Financing (“Non-Qualified Financing Shares”) determined by dividing (x) the Note Balance by (y) the applicable Note Conversion Price.

 

-4-


(2) a Warrant to purchase the same number of shares of Common Stock as the Non-Qualified Financing Shares (also, the “Warrant Shares”) for the lesser of (a) applicable Warrant Exercise Price, or (b) the exercise price of any warrants issued in the Non-Qualified Equity Financing.

Borrower Parent shall give Holder at least 30-days’ prior written notice of any contemplated Non-Qualified Equity Financing. As a condition precedent (which may be waived by Borrower Parent) to issuance of the Non-Qualified Financing Shares and the Warrant, the Holder will be required to execute the transaction documents prepared in connection with the Non-Qualified Equity Financing; provided, however, that such transaction documents are on terms no less favorable with respect to such Non-Qualified Financing Stock than the terms of the transaction documents entered into with all other purchasers of the Non-Qualified Financing Stock.

(ii) Change of Control. Upon notice of a Change of Control of Borrower Parent that is not a Permitted Issuance, all or a portion of the Note Balance shall be convertible at the option of the Holder into that number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of the equity security sold by Borrower Parent in such Change of Control (“Change of Control Shares”) determined by dividing (x) the Note Balance by (y) the applicable Note Conversion Price. In addition, Borrower Parent shall issue a Warrant to purchase the same number of shares of Common Stock as the Change of Control Shares (also, the “Warrant Shares”) for the lesser of (a) applicable Warrant Exercise Price, or (b) the exercise price of any warrants issued in the Change of Control transaction. The Borrowers shall provide Holder notice of any Change of Control in accordance with Section 10(c) below.

(d) Optional Conversion Procedure. Before the Holder shall be entitled to convert this Note into shares of Borrower Parent’s stock pursuant to Section 6(c)(ii), it shall surrender this Note, duly endorsed, at the office of Borrower Parent and shall give written notice to Borrower Parent at its principal corporate office, of the election to convert the same pursuant to Section 6(c)(ii), and shall state therein the amount of the unpaid principal and accrued interest of this Note, as applicable, to be converted and the name or names in which the Convertible Securities are to be issued. Borrower Parent shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, issue and deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates for the Non-Qualified Financing Shares or the Change of Control Shares, as applicable (bearing such legends as are required by the applicable stock purchase agreement and applicable state and federal securities laws in the opinion of counsel to Borrower Parent), together with a replacement Note (if any principal amount is not converted) and any other securities and property to which Holder is entitled upon such conversion under the terms of this Note, including a check payable to the Holder for any cash amounts payable as described in Section 6(f). If Holder elects to exercise its option to convert pursuant to Section 6(c)(i), such conversion shall be deemed to have been made upon the consummation of the Non-Qualified Equity Financing and the Person or Persons entitled to receive the Non-Qualified Financing Shares shall be treated as the record investor(s) as of such time.

(e) Issuance to Members of Holder. Holder shall have the option, at its sole discretion, to cause the Borrowers to issue the Conversion Securities directly to its members in accordance with their membership percentages, subject to the requirements of the Securities Purchase Agreement. Any such members shall have the same rights and obligations as Holder under this Note.

(f) Fractional Shares; Interest. No fractional shares shall be issued upon conversion of this Note. In lieu of Borrower Parent issuing any fractional shares to the Holder upon the conversion of this Note, Borrower Parent shall pay to Holder an amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying the applicable conversion price by the fraction of a share not issued pursuant to the previous sentence. In addition, to the extent not converted into shares of capital stock, Borrower Parent shall pay to Holder any interest accrued on the amount converted and on the amount to be paid to Borrower Parent pursuant to the previous sentence.

 

-5-


(g) Deliver of Note; Lost Note Indemnification. At the closing of any optional conversion under this Section 6(c) for cancellation, the Holder agrees to deliver (i) the original of this Note, or (ii) a notice to the effect that the original Note has been lost, stolen or destroyed and an agreement mutually and reasonably acceptable to Borrower Parent and Holder whereby Holder agrees to indemnify Borrower Parent against the claims of any Persons claiming an interest in this Note after conversion and issuance of the Conversion Securities to the Holder.

(h) Effect of Conversion. Upon issuance of the Conversion Securities, (a) this Note automatically shall be deemed converted, fully paid, cancelled, and (b) the Borrowers shall be forever released from all its obligations and liabilities under this Note and this Note shall be deemed of no further force or effect, whether or not the original of this Note has been delivered to Borrower Parent for cancellation.

Exhibit 5

Execution Version

REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT

This REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT (“Agreement”), is entered into as of February     , 2014 by and between SD COMPANY, INC., a Utah corporation (the “Company”), and each of the persons listed on Exhibit A (individually and together, the “Investor”).

BACKGROUND

A. The Investor and the Company have entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of this same date (the “Purchase Agreement”), under which the Investor is purchasing from the Company a $2 million Secured Convertible Promissory Note, dated as of this same date (“Note”). Under the Note, all amounts owed under the Note (“Indebtedness”) may, in certain circumstances, convert automatically or voluntarily (each a “Conversion”) into (a) shares of the Company’s restricted common stock (“Conversion Shares”), and (b) a Stock Purchase Warrant (“Warrant”) to purchase additional shares of the Company’s restricted common stock (“Warrant Shares”).

B. As a condition of closing the transactions contemplated under the Purchase Agreement, the Company has agreed to grant the Investor registration rights, upon any Conversion, with respect to the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares (together, the “Shares”), on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

AGREEMENT

The parties hereby agree as follows:

1. Registration Obligation. Except as otherwise stated in this Agreement, upon receipt of the written request of an Investor to the Company under Section 3 (“Registration Request”), the Company will file a Registration Statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) requesting the registration of the Registerable Securities for resale under the Securities Act of 1933 (“Securities Act”). The Company will use its best efforts to cause the SEC to declare that Registration Statement effective, within 90 days from the filing of that Registration Statement.

2. Definitions. In addition to terms defined elsewhere in this Agreement, the following terms shall have the meanings :

2.1 “Register,” “registered,” and “registration” refer to preparing and filing a Registration Statement with the SEC, and the SEC’s subsequent declaration or ordering of effectiveness of that Registration Statement.

2.2 “Registerable Securities” means (a) the Shares, (b) any other shares of common stock held by the Investor (“Other Securities”), (c) any shares of common stock issued as a dividend or other distribution with respect to, or in exchange for or in replacement of, the Shares or the Other Shares, or (d) any shares of common stock issued or issuable upon the conversion or exercise of any option, warrant, preferred stock, or other security convertible into shares of common stock. However, Registerable Securities do not include shares sold (i) by a person in a transaction in which such person’s rights under this Agreement are not assigned, (ii) to or through a broker, dealer or underwriter in a public distribution or a public securities transaction, or (iii) in a transaction exempt from the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of Section 4(1) of the Securities Act so that all transfer restrictions and restrictive legends, if any, are removed upon the consummation of that sale.

2.3 “Registration Statement” means a registration statement which covers the Registerable Securities, and which is filed with the SEC in compliance with the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”).


2.4 Subject Shares” means the Registerable Securities that an Investor requests to be registered in a Registration Statement.

3. Piggyback Registration Rights.

3.1 Scope. Except as otherwise stated in this Agreement, the Investor shall have the right (“Piggyback Rights”) to include all or part of the Registerable Securities in any two Registration Statements on either Form S-1 or S-3 filed by the Company in connection with a public offering of securities by the Company or by any other shareholder of the Company (each a “Piggyback Registration Statement”). However, the Investor shall not have Piggyback Rights as to (a) registrations relating solely to employee benefit plans, (b) registrations on any form that does not permit secondary sales, (c) the Company’s first underwritten registered public offering, or (d) if all the Registerable Securities are eligible for resale under Rule 144 of the Securities Act, not including any Blackout Period.

3.2 Registration Notice. If the Company proposes to file a Piggyback Registration Statement, then it shall give the Investor written notice of such proposed filing (a “Registration Notice”) at least 45 days before the anticipated filing date of the Piggyback Registration Statement. The Registration Notice shall offer the Investor the opportunity to include all or part of the Registerable Securities in the Piggyback Registration Statement.

3.3 Registration Request. In order to exercise its rights under Section 3.1, the Investor must deliver a Registration Request to the Company within 20 days after receiving a Registration Notice. Each Registration Request must specify (a) the number of Subject Shares, and (b) the Investor’s intended method of disposing of the Subject Shares. If the Company timely receives a Registration Request, then the Company shall include in the Piggyback Registration Statement (and any related qualifications or compliance filings under applicable state securities laws), and in any underwriting involved in the registration, all or any portion of the Subject Shares.

3.4 Underwritten Offerings

3.4.1 Conditions to Inclusion. The Company shall not be required to include any Subject Shares in a Piggyback Registration Statement unless (a) the Investor accept the terms of the underwriting as agreed on between the Company and the underwriters selected by it and (b) the Investor completes and executes all reasonable questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements, lock-up letters and other documents required under the terms of the underwriting agreement (collectively, the “Underwriting Documents”); provided, however, that (i) the Investor shall only be required to complete and execute such Underwriting Documents to the same extent required of other similarly situated selling shareholders, if any, participating in the underwriting, and (ii) the terms of the Underwriting Documents required of Investor shall be upon terms and subject to the conditions no less favorable than the terms and conditions of any other applicable Underwriting Document executed in connection with the underwriting.

3.4.2 Limits on Inclusion.

(a) If a Piggyback Registration is initiated as a primary underwritten offering on behalf of the Company and the managing underwriter advises the Company and the Investor (if the Investor has elected to include Registerable Securities in such Piggyback Registration) in writing that in its opinion the number of shares of common stock proposed to be included in such registration, including all Registerable 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 would adversely affect the price per share of the common stock to be sold in such offering, the Company shall include in such registration (i) first, the number of shares of common stock that the Company proposes to sell; (ii) second, the number of shares of common stock requested to be included therein by the Investor; and (iii) third, the number of shares of common stock requested to be included therein by other holders of common stock, allocated among such holders in such manner as they may agree; provided, however, that to the extent that Investor is unable to include substantially the number of shares of

 

2


common stock requested to be included in the Investor’s Registration Request, the Company, in accordance with Section 8.1, shall be required to pay all fees and expenses associated with including the Registerable Securities in an additional Registration Statement.

(b) If a Piggyback Registration is initiated as an underwritten offering on behalf of a holder of common stock other than Investor, and the managing underwriter advises the Company in writing that in its opinion the number of shares of common stock proposed to be included in such registration, including all Investor’s Registerable 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 would adversely affect the price per share of the common stock to be sold in such offering, the Company shall include in such registration (i) first, the number of shares of common stock requested to be included therein by the holder(s) requesting such registration and by Investor, allocated pro rata among such holders on the basis of the number of shares of common stock (on a fully diluted, as converted basis) and the number of common stock, as applicable, owned by all such holders or in such manner as they may otherwise agree; and (ii) second, the number of shares of common stock requested to be included therein by other holders of common stock, allocated among such holders in such manner as they may agree.

3.5 Lock Up. The Investor agrees, if requested by the underwriters in a public offering, to not to sell any common stock that they hold or may hold for a period of 90 days (or such other number of days as the underwriters may require) following the Effective Date of any Piggyback Registration Statement. “Effective Date” means the date that the SEC declares a filed Registration Statement to be effective.

3.6 Withdrawal. If at any time, an Investor disapproves of the terms of any offering in which it has elected to exercise its Piggyback Rights, then the sole remedy of the Investor shall be to withdraw from that offering and the related Piggyback Registration Statement, by giving written notice to the Company and any underwriter. Such withdrawal, however, shall not impair the Investor from exercising its Piggyback Rights with regard to another or future Piggyback Registration Statement.

3.7 Delay of Registration. No Investor will have any right to obtain or seek an injunction restraining or otherwise delaying any Piggyback Registration Statement as the result of any controversy that might arise with respect to the interpretation or implementation of this Agreement.

3.8 Decision Not to File. If the Company decides not to file a Piggyback Registration Statement after sending a Registration Notice, then the Investor shall not be entitled to have the Subject Shares registered at such time.

4. Effective Period. The Company will keep the Registration Statement effective until the earlier of (a) the date all of the Registerable Securities registered under the Registration Statement have been sold, or (b) the date on which the Registerable Securities may be sold in compliance with Rule 144(d) under the Securities Act (the “Effective Period”). However, the Effective Period will be extended by the aggregate number of days that the Investor is required to suspend sales of the Registerable Securities under Section 5.

5. Blackout Period

5.1 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Company may (a) postpone the filing of a Registration Statement, (b) allow a Registration Statement to fail to be effective or usable, or (c) elect that an effective Registration Statement will not be usable, for a reasonable period of time not in excess of 90 days (a “Blackout Period”), if:

5.1.1 the Company’s Board of Directors determines in good faith that the registration and distribution of the Registerable Securities (or the use of the Registration Statement or the prospectus contained in the Registration Statement (“Prospectus”)) would (a) interfere with any proposed or pending material corporate

 

3


transaction involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries, (b) require premature disclosure of such transaction, or (c) require the Company to disclose information that the Company has not otherwise made public and that the Company reasonably determines is in the best interests of the Company not to disclose at such time,

5.1.2 the Prospectus at any time includes (a) an untrue statement of a material fact or (b) omits to state a material fact required to be stated in the Prospectus, or necessary to make the statements in the Prospectus not misleading, in the light of the circumstances then existing, or

5.1.3 (a) the SEC issues a stop order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement, (b) any state securities commission suspends the qualification of the Registerable Securities for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, or (c) an action relating to any such proceeding is initiated.

5.2 Blackout Notice. In each of the above cases, the Company must notify the Investor in writing (“Blackout Notice”) not later than five business days after such determination or occurrence.

5.3 Suspension of Sales. Each Investor agrees that, upon receipt of a Blackout Notice, the Investor will immediately discontinue disposition of its Registerable Securities under any Registration Statement until (a) such Investor’s receipt of a supplemented or amended Prospectus, or (b) until it is advised in writing by the Company that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed, and has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated by reference in the Prospectus. If so directed by the Company, each Investor will deliver to the Company all copies, other than permanent file copies then in such Investor’s possession, of the Prospectus covering the Registerable Securities that was current at the time of the Blackout Notice.

6. Obligations of the Company. Whenever required under this Agreement to register any of any Registerable Securities, the Company shall do the following, as expeditiously as reasonably possible:

6.1 Registration Statement. The Company will prepare and file with the SEC (a) a Registration Statement with respect to such Registerable Securities and use its best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective, and (b) such amendments and supplements to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act with respect to the disposition of the Registerable Securities.

6.2 Investor Documents. The Company will furnish to the Investor (a) each version of the Registration Statement or Prospectus at least five days before it is filed with the SEC, (b) the numbers of copies of the Prospectus as the Investor may reasonably request, and (c) such other documents as the Investor may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition under the Registration Statement of the Registerable Securities owned by it.

6.3 State Qualifications. The Company will use its best efforts to register and qualify the Registerable Securities covered by the Registration Statement, or to comply with the requirements of any available exemption, under the state securities laws of any jurisdictions that are reasonably requested by the Investor, except that the Company will not be required to qualify to do business in any such states or jurisdictions in order to comply with this requirement.

6.4 Notice of Certain Events. The Company will notify any Investor with Registerable Securities covered by the Registration Statement if:

6.4.1 the Prospectus includes (a) an untrue statement of a material fact or (b) 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, or the SEC issues a stop order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement under the Securities Act,

 

4


6.4.2 any state securities commission suspends the qualification of the Registerable Securities for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, or disallows any claimed exemption, or

6.4.3 an action relating to any such proceeding is initiated.

6.5 CUSIP Number. The Company will provide the Company’s transfer agent and registrar a CUSIP number for all Registerable Securities, in each case not later than the Effective Date of a Registration Statement.

7. Information Regarding Investor. The Company will have no obligation to register any Registerable Securities under this Agreement unless and until the Investor promptly furnish to the Company all information that the Company reasonably requires in order to effect the registration of the Investor’s Registerable Securities, including the information specified in Item 507 of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act regarding (a) the Investor, (b) the Registerable Securities held by it, and (c) the intended method of disposition of such securities. In addition, each Investor as to which a Registration Statement is being effected agrees to furnish promptly to the Company, for so long as the Investor holds any Registerable Securities, all information required to be disclosed in order to make any information previously furnished to the Company by such Investor not materially misleading.

8. Expenses of Registration

8.1 Company’s Obligation. The Company will pay all expenses incurred in connection with including Registerable Securities in one Registration Statement, including (without limitation) (a) all registration, filing, qualification, printers’ and accounting fees, (b) the reasonable fees and disbursements of one counsel for the selling Investor selected by it with the approval of the Company, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld, (c) the fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, and (d) any underwriters’ discounts or commissions associated with Registerable Securities. If the Investor desires to include Registerable Securities in subsequent Registration Statement, then the Investor will be responsible for paying all of the above expenses incurred by the Company with respect to the inclusion of the Registerable Securities in the subsequent Registration Statement; provided, however, that if Investor was prevented from registering substantially the number of shares requested in its Registration Request during a prior Piggyback Registration, the Company will pay all expenses in connection with including Registerable Securities in an additional Registration Statement.

8.2 Exclusions. Notwithstanding Section 8.1, in any underwritten offering where an additional underwriter participates at the request of the Investor, the Company will not be responsible for (a) any underwriting discounts, commissions or fees attributable to the sale of Registerable Securities included in such offering of such underwriter, (b) any legal fees or disbursements, other than any such fees or disbursements relating to state securities law compliance, incurred by such underwriter, or (c) any transfer taxes that may be imposed in connection with a sale or transfer of Registerable Securities.

8.3 Withdrawal of Registration Statement. If two-thirds of the Registerable Securities covered by a Registration Statement request that the Registration Statement be withdrawn before sale of the Registerable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement, then the Investors who voted for withdrawal shall bear all of the Company’s expenses related to the Registration Statement and its withdrawal.

9. Indemnification. In connection with any Registerable Securities included in a Registration Statement:

9.1 Indemnification by the Company. To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless Investor, Investor’s manager and members, any underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act) for Investor and each person, if any, who controls Investor or the underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”) or the Securities Act (collectively the “Investor Indemnified Parties”), 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 or otherwise, insofar as

 

5


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 (each a “Claim”):

9.1.1 any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, including the Prospectus, any free-writing prospectus (as defined in Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act) (“Free Writing Prospectus”) or any amendments or supplements thereto,

9.1.2 the omission or alleged omission to state in the Registration Statement, Free Writing Prospectus or the Prospectus 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, or

9.1.3 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.

The Company will pay, as incurred, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by any Investor indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim.

9.2 Indemnification by Investor. In connection with any registration in which Investor is participating, to the extent permitted by law, each selling Investor, severally and not jointly, will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who has signed the Registration Statement, each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, any underwriter, any other investor selling securities in such registration statement and any controlling person of any such underwriter or other investor (the “Company Indemnified Parties”), against any Claim to which any of the Company Indemnified Parties may become subject, to the extent that such Claim arises out of or is based upon the Company’s reliance upon written information furnished by Investor expressly for use in connection with the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereof. The Investor will pay, as incurred, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by any Company indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action.

9.3 Limitations

9.3.1 Settlements. Except as set forth in Section 9.5.2, no indemnifying party will be obligated to indemnify an indemnified party under this Section 9 for amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if settlement of such Claim is effected without the consent of the indemnifying party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld.

9.3.2 Company Indemnification Limitations. In no event will the Company be obligated to indemnify or contribute to any Investor Indemnified Party for any Claim to the extent that it arises out of or is based upon written information furnished to the Company by any Investor Indemnified Party expressly for use in connection with a Registration Statement.

9.3.3 Right to Contribution. If the indemnification provided for hereunder is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be prohibited by law to an indemnified party with respect to any loss, claim, damage, liability or action referred to herein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party hereunder, shall contribute to the amounts paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage, liability or action 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 statements or omissions which resulted in such loss, claim, damage, liability or action as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or

 

6


prevent such statement or omission. The parties agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant hereto were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method or allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to herein. No person guilty or liable of fraudulent misrepresentation shall be entitled to contribution from any person.

9.4 Survival. The obligations of the Company and Investor under this Section 9 will survive the completion of the offering of Registerable Securities in the Registration Statement and otherwise (i) for one year with respect to claims brought by the Company or Investor, and (ii) for the statutory period of the underlying claim with respect to third party claims under Section 9.5.2 (the “Indemnification Period”).

9.5 Claims

9.5.1 Claim Notice. Any claim for indemnification under Section 9.1 or 9.2 must be made in writing and delivered as a notice (each a “Claim Notice”) by the party seeking indemnification to the party from whom indemnification is sought within the Indemnification Period, specifying in reasonable detail the nature and estimated amount of the claim.

9.5.2 Third-Party Claims.

(a) If the claim specified in the Claim Notice relates to a third-party claim, the indemnifying party shall have 15 days after its receipt of the Claim Notice to notify the indemnified party whether the indemnifying party agrees that the claim is subject to indemnification pursuant to Section 9.1 or 9.2, and whether the indemnifying party elects to defend such third-party claim at its own expense. However, if the indemnified party reasonably concludes that there are defenses available to it that are different or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, or if the interests of the indemnified party may be reasonably deemed to conflict with those of the indemnifying party, then the indemnified party shall have the right to select separate counsel and to assume and control the defense of such claim, demand or action, with the reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of such counsel to be reimbursed by the indemnifying party as incurred (it being the agreement between the Parties that the indemnified party may retain or use multiple lawyers or law firms but only if and to the extent the discrete tasks performed by each do not unnecessarily replicate the task of another). If the claim relates to a third-party claim that the indemnifying party elects to defend, then the indemnified party shall reasonably cooperate with such defense. The indemnified party shall, however, regardless, be entitled to participate in the defense or settlement of such a third-party claim through its own counsel and at its own expense and shall be entitled to approve or disapprove any proposed settlement that would impose a duty or obligation on the indemnified party. If the indemnifying party does not timely elect to defend a third-party claim, or if the indemnifying party fails to conduct such defense with reasonable diligence, then the indemnified party may conduct the defense of, or settle, such claim at the risk and expense of the indemnifying party.

(b) If an indemnifying party assumes the defense of such a claim, (i) the indemnifying party must acknowledge in writing to the indemnified party that the damages that may be assessed against the indemnified party in connection with the claim underlying such Claim Notice constitute damages for which the indemnified party shall be indemnified pursuant to Section 9.1 or 9.2, as applicable, (ii) the indemnifying party agrees to vigorously defend against the claim underlying such Claim Notice at the indemnifying party’s sole cost, (iii) the indemnified party shall have the right to consult with the indemnifying party and the indemnifying party shall facilitate such consultation, (iv) upon reasonable request by the indemnified party, the indemnifying party shall provide the notice, copies, access and right of consultation provided for herein with respect to any claim for indemnification pursuant to this Agreement, and (v) the indemnifying party shall have no liability with respect to any compromise or settlement thereof effected by the indemnified party without its consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

9.6 Claims Other Than Third-Party Claims. If the claim does not relate to a third-party claim, the indemnifying party shall have 30 days after receipt of the Claim Notice to notify the indemnified party in writing whether the indemnifying party accepts liability for all or any part of the claim and the method and timing of any

 

7


proposed payment. If the indemnifying party does not so notify the indemnified party, the indemnifying party shall be deemed to have accepted liability for all damages described in the Claim Notice.

10. Exchange Act Reports. With a view to making available to the Investor the benefits of Rule 144 under the Securities Act, and any other rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit an Investor to sell securities of the Company to the public pursuant Rule 144 under the Securities Act or pursuant to a Form S-3 Registration Statement, the Company agrees to:

10.1 make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144, for the Effective Period so long as the Company is and remains subject to the periodic reporting requirements under Sections 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act,

10.2 take such action as are necessary to enable the Company to use a Form S-3 Registration Statement to register the resale of the Registerable Securities at such time as the Company may be eligible to use a Form S-3 Registration Statement,

10.3 file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, and

10.4 for so long as the Investor owns any Registerable Securities, to furnish to Investor upon its request (a) a written statement by the Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements of Rule 144, the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, and/or that it qualifies as a registrant whose Registerable Securities may be resold pursuant to Form S-3 (at any time after it so qualifies), and (b) such other information that is not available in the SEC’s EDGAR system and that may be reasonably requested in availing any Investor of any rule or regulation of the SEC which permits the selling of any Registerable Securities without registration or pursuant to such form.

11. Termination. This Agreement will terminate and be of no further force or effect on the earlier of the date when (a) all of the Registerable Securities have been sold under a Registration Statement or pursuant to any exemption from registration, (b) any unsold Registerable Securities may be immediately sold in compliance with Rule 144(d) under the Securities Act (without considering any applicable Blackout Period) or (c) the Company is no longer registered as a reporting issuer under the Exchange Act.
