Exhibit 99.6
REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT
-----------------------------
This Registration Rights Agreement (this "Agreement") is entered into as of
November 15, 1996 by and between Patriot American Hospitality, Inc., a Virginia
corporation (the "Company") and each of the parties executing a signature page
hereto (each a "Holder" and collectively the "Holders").
WHEREAS, the Holders are to receive units of limited partnership interest
("Units") in Patriot American Hospitality Partnership, L.P., a Virginia limited
partnership (the "Operating Partnership") which may be redeemed for cash, or at
the option of the Company, for an equivalent number of shares of the Company's
common stock, no par value ("Common Stock") issued without registration under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), pursuant to an
Agreement of Purchase and Sale dated September 13, 1996 by and between the
Holders and the Operating Partnership (the "Purchase and Sale Agreement").
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and agreements set
forth herein, and other valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of
which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
1. Registration.
------------
(a) Demand Registration.
-------------------
(i) On any two (2) occasions after November 16, 1997 until the
earlier of (i) the third anniversary of this Agreement or (ii) the date on which
all of the Registrable Shares (as hereinafter defined) have become eligible for
sale pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, subject to the
conditions set forth in this Agreement, including without limitation the
conditions set forth in Section 1(a)(ii) below, any Holder or Holders may
request that the Company cause to be filed a registration statement (a "Demand
Registration Statement") under Rule 415 under the Securities Act relating to the
sale by such holders of their previously or concurrently issued Registrable
Shares in accordance with the terms hereof. As used in this Agreement, the term
"Registrable Shares" means shares of Common Stock issued or to be issued to the
Holders upon redemption or in exchange for their Units, excluding (A) Common
Stock for which a Registration Statement relating to the sale thereof shall have
become effective under the Securities Act, (B) Common Stock sold pursuant to
Rule 144 under the Securities Act or (C) Common Stock eligible for sale pursuant
to Rule 144 under the Securities Act. Upon receipt of any such request, the
Company shall give written notice of such proposed registration to all Holders
of Units and Registrable Shares. Such Holders shall have the right, by giving
written notice to the Company within fifteen (15) business days after such
notice referred to in the preceding sentence has been given by the Company to
elect to have included in the Demand Registration Statement such of their
Registrable Shares as each Holder may request in such notice of election.
Thereupon, the Company shall use reasonable efforts to cause such Demand
Registration Statement to be filed and declared effective by the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "SEC") for all Registrable Shares which the Company has
been requested to register as soon as practicable thereafter. The Company agrees
to use reasonable efforts to keep the Demand Registration Statement continuously
effective until the earliest of (a) the date on which the Holders no longer hold
any Registrable Shares registered under the Demand Registration Statement, (b)
the date on which the Registrable Shares may be sold by the Holders pursuant to
Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act or (c) the date which is six (6)
months from the effective date of such Demand Registration Statement. The
Company shall not be required to file and effect a new Demand Registration
Statement pursuant to this Section 1(a) until a period of twelve (12) months has
elapsed from the termination of the registration statement with respect to
Registrable Shares covered by a prior registration request.
(ii) The Company shall have no obligation under Section 1(a)(i)
unless the following conditions are satisfied:
(A) Any Holder who requests that the Company cause to be filed
a Demand Registration Statement pursuant to Section 1(a)(i) must provide to
the Company a certificate (the "Authorizing Certificate"), substantially in
the form of Exhibit A hereto, that is signed by the Holders of at least
---------
twenty-five percent (25%) of the aggregate number of all outstanding
Registrable Shares, at the time such request is made. The Authorizing
Certificate shall set forth (i) the name of each Holder signing such
Authorizing Certificate, (ii) the number of Registrable Shares held by each
such Holder, and, if different, the number of Registrable Shares such
Holder has elected to have registered, and (iii) a certification from each
such Holder that it is requesting the registration of only those shares of
Common Stock received by such Holder upon the redemption of its Units
pursuant to the Purchase and Sale Agreement. Any Holder whose Registrable
Shares have become eligible for sale pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under
the Securities Act shall not be included for purposes of calculating the
percentage of Holders required to sign an Authorizing Certificate. If the
Company determines that a Holder's Shares have become eligible for sale
pursuant to Rule 144, the Company shall at the request of such Holder,
deliver to such Holder an opinion of counsel to such effect.
(b) Piggyback Registration. If at any time while any Registrable Shares are
----------------------
outstanding the Company proposes to file a registration statement under the
Securities Act with respect to an offering of Common Stock solely for cash
(other than a registration statement (i) on Form S-8 or any successor form or in
connection with any employee or director welfare, benefit or compensation plan,
(ii) on Form S-4 or any successor form or in connection with an exchange offer,
(iii) in connection with a rights offering or a dividend reinvestment and share
2
purchase plan offered exclusively to existing holders of Common Stock, (iv) in
connection with an offering solely to employees of the Company or its
affiliates, (v) relating to a transaction pursuant to Rule 145 of the Securities
Act, or (vi) a shelf registration on Form S-3 or any successor form), whether or
not for its own account (a "Piggyback Registration Statement"), the Company
shall give to the Holders of Units and Registrable Shares written notice of such
proposed filing at least ten (10) business days before filing. The notice
referred to in the preceding sentence shall offer Holders the opportunity to
register such amount of Registrable Shares as each Holder may request (a
"Piggyback Registration"). Subject to the provisions of Section 2 below, the
Company shall include in such Piggyback Registration all Registrable Shares
requested to be included in the registration for which the Company has received
written requests for inclusion therein within five (5) business days after the
notice referred to above has been given by the Company to the Holders. Holders
of Registrable Shares shall be permitted to withdraw all or part of the
Registrable Shares from a Piggyback Registration at any time prior to the
effective date of such Piggyback Registration. If a Piggyback Registration is an
underwritten registration on behalf of the Company and the managing underwriter
advises the Company that the total number of shares of Common Stock requested to
be included in such registration exceeds the number of shares of Common Stock
which can be sold in such offering, the Company will include in such
registration in the following priority: (i) first, all shares of Common Stock
the Company proposes to sell and (ii) second, up to the full number of
applicable Registrable Shares requested to be included in such registration
which, in the opinion of such managing underwriter, can be sold without
adversely affecting the price range or probability of success of such offering,
which shall be allocated among the Holders requesting registration and all other
stockholders requesting registration on a pro rata basis. No Registrable
Securities or other shares of Common Stock requested to be included in a
registration pursuant to demand registration rights shall be excluded from the
underwriting unless all securities other than such securities are first
excluded.
(c) Registration Statement Covering Issuance of Common Stock. In lieu of
--------------------------------------------------------
the registration rights set forth in Section 1(a) and 1(b) above, the Company
may, in its sole discretion, prior to the first date upon which the Units held
by the Holders may be redeemed (or such other date as may be required under
applicable provisions of the Securities Act) file a registration statement
("the Shelf Registration Statement") under Rule 415 under the Securities Act
relating to the issuance to Holders of shares of Common Stock upon the
redemption or in exchange for their Units. Thereupon, the Company shall use
reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement to be declared effective
by the SEC for all shares of Common Stock covered thereby. The Company agrees to
use reasonable efforts to keep the Shelf Registration Statement continuously
effective until the date on which each Holder has redeemed or exchanged such
Holder's Units for Common Stock. In the event that the Company is unable to
cause such Registration Statement to be declared effective by the SEC or is
unable to keep such Registration Statement effective until the date on which
each Holder has redeemed or exchanged such Holder's Units for Common Stock, then
the rights of each Holder set forth in
3
Section 1(a) and 1(b) above shall be restored. Any Demand Registration
Statement, Piggyback Registration Statement or Shelf Registration Statement is
sometimes referred to as a "Registration Statement."
2. Registration Procedures.
-----------------------
(a) The Company shall notify each Holder requesting registration of the
effectiveness of the Registration Statement filed pursuant thereto and shall
furnish to each such Holder such number of copies of the Registration Statement
(including any amendments, supplements and exhibits), the prospectus contained
therein (including each preliminary prospectus), any documents incorporated by
reference in the Registration Statement and such other documents as such Holder
may reasonably request in order to facilitate its sale of the Registrable
Shares in the manner described in the Registration Statement.
(b) The Company shall prepare and file with the SEC from time to time
such amendments and supplements to the Registration Statement and prospectus
used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep the Registration
Statement effective and to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with
respect to the disposition of all the Registrable Shares until the earlier of
(i) such time as all of the Registrable Shares have been issued or disposed of
in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the Holders as set
forth in the Registration Statement or (ii) the date on which the Registration
Statement ceases to be effective in accordance with the terms of Section 1.
Upon ten (10) business days' notice, the Company shall file any supplement or
post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement with respect to such
Holder's interests in or plan of distribution of Registrable Shares that is
reasonably necessary to permit the sale of the Holder's Registrable Shares that
is reasonably necessary to permit the sale of the Holder's Registrable Shares
pursuant to the Registration Statement and the Company shall file any necessary
listing applications or amendments to the existing applications to cause the
shares to be then listed or quoted on the primary exchange or quotation system
on which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted.
(c) The Company shall promptly notify each Holder requesting registration
of, and confirm in writing, any request by the SEC for amendments or supplements
to the Registration Statement or the prospectus related thereto or for
additional information. In addition, the Company shall promptly notify each such
Holder of, and confirm in writing, the filing of the Registration Statement, any
prospectus supplement related thereto or any post-effective amendment to the
Registration Statement and the effectiveness of any post-effective amendment.
(d) The Company shall promptly notify each Holder requesting
registration, at any time when a prospectus relating to the Registration
Statement is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the happening
of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in the Registration
Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact
4
or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therin or necessary to
make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were
made, not misleading. In such event and subject to paragraph 7 of this
Agreement, the Company shall prepare and furnish to each such Holder a
reasonable number of copies of a supplement to or an amendment of such
prospectus as may be necessary so that, as thereafter delivered to the
purchasers of Registrable Shares, such prospectus shall not include an 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, in light of the
circumstances under which they are made, not misleading.
3. State Securities Laws. Subject to the conditions set forth in this
---------------------
Agreement, the Company shall, promptly upon the filing of a Registration
Statement including Registrable Shares, file such documents as may be necessary
to register or qualify the Registrable Shares under the securities or "Blue Sky"
laws of such states as any Holder requesting registration may reasonably
request, and the Company shall use reasonable efforts to cause such filings to
become qualified; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to
-------- -------
qualify as a foreign corporation to do business under the laws of any such state
in which it is not then qualified or to file any general consent to service of
process in any such state. Once qualified, the Company shall use reasonable
efforts to keep such filings qualified until the earlier of (a) such time as all
of the Registrable Shares have been disposed of in accordance with the intended
methods of disposition by the Holder as set forth in the Registration Statement,
(b) in the case of a particular state, a Holder has notified the Company that it
no longer requires qualified filing in such state in accordance with its
original request for filing or (c) the date on which the Registration Statement
ceases to be effective with the SEC. The Company shall promptly notify each
Holder requesting registration of, and confirm in writing, the receipt by the
Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification
of the Registrable Shares for sale under the securities or "Blue Sky" laws of
any jurisdiction or the initiation or threat of any proceeding for such purpose.
4. Expenses. The Company shall bear all expenses incurred in connection
--------
with the registration of the Registrable Shares pursuant to Section 1(b) and
Section 1(c) of this Agreement. Additionally, the Company shall bear all
expenses incurred in connection with the registration of the Registrable Shares
pursuant to Section 1(a) of this Agreement for each Registration Statement
registering One Million Dollars ($1 million) or more of Registrable Shares. The
Holders shall bear their ratable share of all expenses incurred by the Company
in connection with a registration in which the Holders are included pursuant to
Section 1(a) of this Agreement based on the number of Registrable Shares
included to the total number of shares of Common Stock so registered for each
Registration Statement registering less than One Million Dollars ($1 million) of
Registrable Shares. Such expenses shall include, without limitation, all
printing, legal and accounting expenses incurred by the Company and all
registration and filing fees imposed by the SEC, any state securities commission
or the New
5
York Stock Exchange or, if the Common Stock is not then listed on the New York
Stock Exchange, the principal national securities exchange or national market
system on which the Common Stock is then traded or quoted. In addition, Holders
shall be responsible for any brokerage or underwriting commissions and taxes of
any kind (including, without limitation, transfer taxes) with respect to any
disposition, sale or transfer of Registrable Shares and for any legal,
accounting and other expenses incurred by them in connection with any
Registration Statement.
5. Indemnification by the Company. The Company agrees to indemnify each
------------------------------
of the Holders and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents,
representatives and affiliates, and each person or entity, if any, that controls
a Holder within the meaning of the Securities Act, and each other person or
entity, if any, subject to liability because of his, her or its connection with
a Holder, and any underwriter and any person who controls the underwriter
within the meaning of the Securities Act (an "Indemnitee") against any and all
losses, claims, damages, actions, liabilities, costs and expenses (including
without limitation reasonable attorneys' fees, expenses and disbursements
documented in writing), joint or several, arising out of or based upon any
untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in the
Registration Statement or any prospectus contained therein, or 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
under which they were made, not misleading, except insofar as and to the extent
that such statement or omission arose out of or was based upon information
regarding the Indemnitee or its plan of distribution which was furnished to the
Company by the Indemnitee for use therein, provided, further that the Company
shall not be liable to any person who participates as an underwriter in the
offering or sale of Registrable Shares or any other person, if any, who controls
such underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act, in any such case to
the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability (or action or proceeding
in respect thereof) or expense arises out of or is based upon (i) an untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in
such Registration Statement, any such preliminary prospectus, final prospectus,
summary prospectus, amendment or supplement in reliance upon and in conformity
with information furnished to the Company for use in connection with the
Registration Statement or the prospectus contained therein by such Indemnitee or
(ii) such Indemnitee's failure to send or give a copy of the final prospectus
furnished to it by the Company at or prior to the time such action is required
by the Securities Act to the person claiming an untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement or omission or alleged omission if such statement or omission
was corrected in such final prospectus. The obligations of the Company under
this Section 5 shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable
Shares pursuant to a Registration Statement under this Agreement or otherwise
and shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
6. Covenants of Holders. Each of the Holders hereby agrees (a) to
--------------------
cooperate with the Company and to furnish to the Company all such information in
connection with the
6
preparation of the Registration Statement and any filings with any state
securities commissions as the Company may reasonably request, (b) to the extent
required by the Securities Act, to deliver or cause delivery of the prospectus
contained in the Registration Statement to any purchaser of the shares covered
by the Registration Statement from the Holder, (c) to notify the Company of any
sale of Registrable Shares by such Holder and (d) to indemnify the Company, its
officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives and affiliates, and each
person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities
Act, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the
Securities Act, and each other person, if any, subject to liability because of
his connection with the Company, against any and all losses, claims, damages,
actions, liabilities, costs and expenses arising out of or based upon (i) any
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in
either the Registration Statement or the prospectus contained therein, or 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 under which they were made, not misleading, if and to the extent
that such statement or omission arose out of or was based upon information
regarding the Holder or its plan of distribution which was furnished to the
Company by the Holder for use therein, or (ii) the failure by the Holder to
deliver or cause to be delivered the prospectus contained in the Registration
Statement (as amended or supplemented, if applicable) furnished by the Company
to the Holder to any purchaser of the shares covered by the Registration
Statement from the Holder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) in no event will a
Holder have any obligation under this Section 6 for amounts the Company pays 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) and (ii) the total amount for which a Holder shall
be liable under this Section 6 shall not in any event exceed the aggregate
proceeds received by him or it from the sale of the Holder's Registrable Shares
in such registration. The obligations of the Holders under this Section 6 shall
survive the completion of any offering of Registrable Shares pursuant to a
Registration Statement under this Agreement or otherwise and shall survive the
termination of this Agreement.
7. Suspension of Registration Requirement.
--------------------------------------
(a) The Company shall promptly notify each Holder requesting registration
of, and confirm in writing, the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending
the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the initiation of any
proceedings for that purpose. The Company shall use reasonable efforts to obtain
the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration
Statement as soon as practicable.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement,
the Company's obligation under this Agreement to use reasonable efforts to
cause the Registration Statement and any filings with any state securities
commission to be made or to become effective or to amend or supplement the
Registration Statement shall be suspended in the event
7
and during such period pending negotiations relating to, or consummation of, a
transaction or the occurrence of an event that would require additional
disclosure of material information by the Company in the Registration Statement
or such filing (such circumstances being hereinafter referred to as a
"Suspension Event") that would make it impractical or unadvisable to cause the
Registration Statement or such filings to be made or to become effective or to
amend or supplement the Registration Statement, but such suspension shall
continue only for so long as such event or its effect is continuing but in no
event will that suspension exceed ninety (90) days. The Company agrees not to
exercise the rights set forth in this Section 7(b) more than twice in any twelve
month period. In the event any Holder requests registration during a Suspension
Event, the Company shall notify the Holder of the existence of such Suspension
Event.
(c) Each holder of Registrable Shares whose Registrable Shares are
covered by a Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 1 hereof agrees,
if requested by the Company in the case of a nonunderwritten offering
(a "Nonunderwritten Offering") or if requested by the managing underwriter or
underwriters in an underwritten offering (an "Underwritten Offering,"
collectively with Nonunderwritten Offering, the "Offering"), not to effect any
public sale or distribution of any of the securities of the Company of any class
included in such Offering, including a sale pursuant to Rule 144 or Rule 144A
under the Securities Act (except as part of such Offering), during the 15-day
period prior to, and during the 90-day period (or such longer period as may be
required by the managing underwriter or underwriters) beginning on, the date of
pricing of each Offering, to the extent timely notified in writing by the
Company or the managing underwriters. Furthermore, notwithstanding anything to
the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the Company's obligation under this
Agreement to use reasonable efforts to cause the Registration Statement and any
filings with any state securities commission to be made or to become effective
or to amend or supplement the Registration Statement shall be suspended in the
event and during such period as the Company is proceeding with an Underwritten
Offering if the Company is advised by the underwriters that the sale of
Registrable Shares under a Registration Statement would have a material adverse
effect on the Underwritten Offering.
8. Black-Out Period. Following the effectiveness of the Registration
----------------
Statement and the filings with any state securities commissions, the Holders
agree that they will not effect any sales of the Registrable Shares pursuant to
the Registration Statement or any such filings at any time after they have
received notice from the Company to suspend sales (i) as a result of the
occurrence or existence of any Suspension Event, (ii) during any Offering, or
(iii) so that the Company may correct or update the Registration Statement
or such filing pursuant to Section 2(c) or 2(d). The Holder may recommence
effecting sales of the Registrable Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement
or such filings following further notice to such effect from the Company, which
notice shall be given by the Company not later than five (5) business days after
the conclusion of any such Suspension Event or Offering.
8
9. Additional Shares. The Company, at its option, may register, under any
-----------------
registration statement and any filings with any state securities commissions
filed pursuant to this Agreement, any number of unissued shares of Common Stock
or any shares of Common Stock owned by any other shareholder or shareholders of
the Company.
10. Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in Sections 5 and 6
------------
is unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any losses, claims,
damages, actions, liabilities, costs or expenses referred to therein or is
insufficient to hold the indemnified party harmless as contemplated therein,
then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party,
shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a
result of such losses, claims, damages, actions, liabilities, costs or expenses
in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the
Company, on the one hand, and the Holder, on the other hand, in connection with
the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages,
actions, liabilities, costs or expenses as well as any other relevant equitable
considerations. The relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and of the
Holder, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other
factors, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or
omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company
or by the Holder and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to
information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission;
provided, however, that in no event shall the obligation of any indemnifying
-------- -------
party to contribute under this Section 10 exceed the amount that such
indemnifying party would have been obligated to pay by way of indemnification if
the indemnification provided for under Sections 5 or 6 hereof had been available
under the circumstances.
The Company and the Holders agree that it would not be just and equitable
if contribution pursuant to this Section 10 were determined by pro rata
allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of
the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph.
No indemnified party guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the
meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to
contribution from any indemnifying party who was not guilty of such fraudulent
misrepresentation.
11. No Other Obligation to Register. Except as otherwise expressly
-------------------------------
provided in this Agreement, the Company shall have no obligation to the Holders
to register the Units or the Registrable Shares under the Securities Act.
12. Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement may not be
----------------------
amended, modified or supplemented without the prior written consent of the
Company and Holders holding in excess of 50% of the Registrable Shares.
9
13. Notices. Except as set forth below, all notices and other
-------
communications provided for or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall
be deemed to have been duly given if delivered personally or sent by telex or
telecopier, registered or certified mail (return receipt requested), postage
prepaid or courier or overnight delivery service to the Company at the following
address and to the Holder at the address set forth on his or her signature page
to this Agreement (or at such other address for any party as shall be specified
by like notice, provided that notices of a change of address shall be effective
only upon receipt thereof), and further provided that in case of directions to
amend the Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2(b) or Section 6, a Holder
must confirm such notice in writing by overnight express delivery with
confirmation of receipt:
