Piggy-Back Registration Rights (a) If at any time or from time to time the Company shall determine to register any of its equity securities, either for its own account or the account of a security holder or holders (other than a registration of securities relating solely to employee benefit plans or to effect a merger or other reorganization), the Company will promptly give to Shareholder written notice thereof and, upon the written request of Shareholder, include in such registration (and any related qualification under blue sky laws or other compliance), and in any underwriting involved therein, all the Shares specified in the written request made within 10 business days after receipt of such written notice from the Company.
(b) If the registration of which the Company gives notice is for a registered public offering involving an underwriting, the Company shall so advise Shareholder as a part of the written notice given to Shareholder. In such event the right of any Shareholder to registration pursuant to this Section 6 shall be conditioned upon Shareholder's participation in such underwriting, and the inclusion of Shares in the underwriting shall be limited to the extent provided herein. Shareholder (together with the Company and the other holders distributing their securities through such underwriting) shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the managing underwriter selected for such underwriting by the Company. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 6, if the managing underwriter determines that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten, the managing underwriter may exclude some or all of the Shares or securities of other holders of similar registration rights from such registration. The Company shall so advise Shareholder and other stockholders distributing their securities through such underwriting, and the number of Shares or securities of other holders of similar registration rights that may be included in the registration and underwriting, as determined by the managing underwriter, shall be allocated on a pro rata basis. If Shareholder disapproves of the terms of any such underwriting, Shareholder may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company and the managing underwriter. Any securities excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting shall be withdrawn from such registration, and shall continue to be subject to the terms of this Section.
(c) The Company shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under this Section 6 prior to the effectiveness of such registration whether or not Shareholder has elected to include securities in such registration.
(d) All expenses associated with the registration (including, without limitation, registration, qualification and filing fees, printing expenses, blue sky fees, and fees and disbursements of counsel and accountants for the Company) shall be borne by the Company. Selling expenses, including underwriters' discounts, shall be borne by Shareholder pro rata in proportion to the number of securities being registered.
(e) In the case of each registration under this Section, the Company will:
(i) prepare and file a registration statement with respect to such securities and use its best efforts to cause such registration statement to become and remain effective for at least 45 days or until the distribution described in the registration statement has been completed, whichever first occurs;
(ii) furnish to Shareholder such reasonable number of copies of the registration statement, preliminary prospectus, final prospectus and such other documents as Shareholder may reasonably request in order to facilitate the public offering of the Shares; and
(iii) use its best 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 Shareholder, provided that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to qualify as a foreign corporation or as a dealer in securities or to file a general consent to service of process in any such states or jurisdictions in which it has not already done so and except as may be required by the Securities Act.
(f) The Company will indemnify Shareholder against all expenses, claims, losses, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), arising out of or based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any registration statement, prospectus, offering circular or other document, or any amendment or supplement thereto, incident to any such registration, or based on any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading, or any violation by the Company of the Securities Act of 1933, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, state securities law or any rule or regulation promulgated under such laws applicable to the Company in connection with any such registration, qualification or compliance, and the Company will reimburse Shareholder for any legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred, as such expenses are incurred, in connection with investigating, preparing or defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action, provided that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such claim, loss, damage, liability or expense arises out of or is based on any untrue statement or omission, or alleged untrue statement or omission, made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by an instrument duly executed by Shareholder.
(g) Shareholder will, if Shares held by such Shareholder are included in the securities as to which such registration is being effected, indemnify the Company, each of its directors and officers, each underwriter, if any, of the Company's securities covered by such a registration statement against all claims, losses, damages and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arising out of or based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any such registration statement, prospectus, offering circular or other document, or any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse the Company, such Shareholders, such directors, officers, persons, underwriters or control persons for any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred, as such expenses are incurred, in connection with investigating or defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) or omission (or alleged omission) is made in such registration statement, prospectus, offering circular or other document in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by an instrument duly executed by Shareholder and stated to be specifically for use therein.
(h) Shareholder shall furnish to the Company such information regarding Shareholder, the Shares held by Shareholder, and the distribution proposed by Shareholder as the Company may request in writing and as shall be required in connection with any registration referred to in this Agreement.
(i) The registration rights granted to Shareholder in this Section shall expire at such time (if ever) as Shareholder is free to sell the Shares under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (or any successor thereto) without limitation as to volume or manner of sale restrictions.
Piggy-Back Rights If at any time on or after the date the Company consummates a Business Combination the Company proposes to file a Registration Statement under the Securities Act with respect to an offering of equity securities, or securities or other obligations exercisable or exchangeable for, or convertible into, equity securities, by the Company for its own account or for shareholders of the Company for their account (or by the Company and by shareholders of the Company including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 2.1), other than a Registration Statement (i) filed in connection with any employee stock option or other benefit plan, (ii) for an exchange offer or offering of securities solely to the Company’s existing shareholders, (iii) for an offering of debt that is convertible into equity securities of the Company or (iv) for a dividend reinvestment plan, then the Company shall (x) give written notice of such proposed filing to the holders of Registrable Securities as soon as practicable but in no event less than ten (10) days before the anticipated filing date, which notice shall describe the amount and type of securities to be included in such offering, the intended method(s) of distribution, and the name of the proposed managing Underwriter or Underwriters, if any, of the offering, and (y) offer to the holders of Registrable Securities in such notice the opportunity to register the sale of such number of shares of Registrable Securities as such holders may request in writing within five (5) days following receipt of such notice (a “Piggy-Back Registration”). The Company shall cause such Registrable Securities to be included in such registration and shall use its best efforts to cause the managing Underwriter or Underwriters of a proposed underwritten offering to permit the Registrable Securities requested to be included in a Piggy-Back Registration on the same terms and conditions as any similar securities of the Company and to permit the sale or other disposition of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution thereof. All holders of Registrable Securities proposing to distribute their securities through a Piggy-Back Registration that involves an Underwriter or Underwriters shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the Underwriter or Underwriters selected for such Piggy-Back Registration.
Subsequent Rights Offerings In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 3(a) above, if at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Common Stock Equivalents or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of shares of Common Stock (the “Purchase Rights”), then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights (provided, however, that, to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Purchase Right would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Purchase Right to such extent (or beneficial ownership of such shares of Common Stock as a result of such Purchase Right to such extent) and such Purchase Right to such extent shall be held in abeyance for the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation).
