EXHIBIT 4.1
SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT
SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") made as of the last date set
forth on the signature page hereof between Administration for International
Credit & Investment, Inc. (the "Company"), and the undersigned (the
"Subscriber").
W I T N E S S E T H:
WHEREAS, the Company has retained Xxxxxx Securities, L.P. (the "Placement
Agent") to act as placement agent in a private offering (the "Offering")
consisting of up to 1,750,000 units, each consisting of one share of common
stock, par value $.001 per share ("Common Stock"), one Series A Warrant and one
Series B Warrant (collectively, the "Warrants" and together with the Common
Stock, the "Units"); and
WHEREAS, the Subscriber desires to purchase that number of Units set forth
on the signature page hereof on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual
representations and covenants hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto do
hereby agree as follows:
I. SUBSCRIPTION FOR UNITS AND REPRESENTATIONS BY SUBSCRIBER
1.1 Subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth and in the
Confidential Offering Memorandum dated February 2005 (such memorandum, together
with all amendments thereof and supplements and exhibits thereto, the
"Memorandum"), the Subscriber hereby irrevocably subscribes for and agrees to
purchase from the Company such number of Units, and the Company agrees to sell
to the Subscriber as is set forth on the signature page hereof, at a per share
price equal to $2.00 per Unit. The purchase price is payable by personal or
business check or money order made payable to "CST&T AAF AICI ESCROW ACCOUNT"
contemporaneously with the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the
Subscriber. Subscribers may also pay the subscription amount by, wire transfer
of immediately available funds to:
NAME: Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Co. AAF
AICI ESCROW ACCOUNT
OR: CST&T AAF AICI ESCROW ACCOUNT
BANK: XX Xxxxxx Chase Bank
ACCOUNT: 530-058669
ABA: 000000000
1.2 The Subscriber recognizes that the purchase of the Units involves a
high degree of risk including, but not limited to, the following: (a) the
Company remains a development stage business with limited operating history and
requires substantial funds in addition to the proceeds of the Offering; (b) an
investment in the Company is highly speculative, and only investors who can
afford the loss of their entire investment should consider investing in the
Company and the Units; (c) the Subscriber may not be able to liquidate its
investment; (d) transferability of the Units, including the Common Stock and
Warrants contained therein and Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the
Warrants (defined below) (sometimes hereinafter collectively referred to as the
"Securities") is extremely limited; (e) in the event of a disposition, the
Subscriber could sustain the loss of its entire investment; (f) the Company has
not paid any dividends since its inception and does not anticipate paying any
dividends; and (g) the Company may issue additional securities in the future
which have rights and preferences that are senior to those of the Common Stock.
Without limiting the generality of the representations set forth in Section 1.5
below, the Subscriber represents that the Subscriber has carefully reviewed the
section of the Memorandum captioned "Risk Factors."
1.3 The Subscriber represents that the Subscriber is an "accredited
investor" as such term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D ("Regulation D")
promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"),
as indicated by the Subscriber's responses to the questions contained in Article
VII hereof, and that the Subscriber is able to bear the economic risk of an
investment in the Units.
1.4 The Subscriber hereby acknowledges and represents that (a) the
Subscriber has knowledge and experience in business and financial matters, prior
investment experience, including investment in securities that are non-listed,
unregistered and/or not traded on a national securities exchange nor on the
National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (the "NASD") automated
quotation system ("NASDAQ"), or the Subscriber has employed the services of a
"purchaser representative" (as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D), attorney
and/or accountant to read all of the documents furnished or made available by
the Company both to the Subscriber and to all other prospective investors in the
Units to evaluate the merits and risks of such an investment on the Subscriber's
behalf; (b) the Subscriber recognizes the highly speculative nature of this
investment; and (c) the Subscriber is able to bear the economic risk that the
Subscriber hereby assumes.
1.5 The Subscriber hereby acknowledges receipt and careful review of this
Agreement, the Memorandum (which includes the Risk Factors), including all
exhibits thereto, and any documents which may have been made available upon
request as reflected therein (collectively referred to as the "Offering
Materials") and hereby represents that the Subscriber has been furnished by the
Company during the course of the Offering with all information regarding the
Company, the terms and conditions of the Offering and any additional information
that the Subscriber has requested or desired to know, and has been afforded the
opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from duly authorized
officers or other representatives of the Company concerning the Company and the
terms and conditions of the Offering.
1.6 (a) In making the decision to invest in the Units the Subscriber has
relied solely upon the information provided by the Company in the Offering
Materials. To the extent necessary, the Subscriber has retained, at its own
expense, and relied upon appropriate professional advice regarding the
investment, tax and legal merits and consequences of this Agreement and the
purchase of the Units hereunder. The Subscriber disclaims reliance on any
statements made or information provided by any person or entity in the course of
Subscriber's consideration of an investment in the Units other than the Offering
Materials.
2
(b) The Subscriber represents that (i) the Subscriber was contacted
regarding the sale of the Units by the Company (or an authorized agent or
representative thereof) with whom the Subscriber had a prior substantial
pre-existing relationship and (ii) no Units were offered or sold to it by means
of any form of general solicitation or general advertising, and in connection
therewith, the Subscriber did not (A) receive or review any advertisement,
article, notice or other communication published in a newspaper or magazine or
similar media or broadcast over television or radio, whether closed circuit, or
generally available; or (B) attend any seminar meeting or industry investor
conference whose attendees were invited by any general solicitation or general
advertising.
1.7 The Subscriber hereby represents that the Subscriber, either by reason
of the Subscriber's business or financial experience or the business or
financial experience of the Subscriber's professional advisors (who are
unaffiliated with and not compensated by the Company or any affiliate or selling
agent of the Company, directly or indirectly), has the capacity to protect the
Subscriber's own interests in connection with the transaction contemplated
hereby.
1.8 The Subscriber hereby acknowledges that the Offering has not been
reviewed by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") nor
any state regulatory authority since the Offering is intended to be exempt from
the registration requirements of Section 5 of the Securities Act pursuant to
Regulation D promulgated thereunder. The Subscriber understands that the
Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act or under any state
securities or "blue sky" laws and agrees not to sell, pledge, assign or
otherwise transfer or dispose of the Securities unless they are registered under
the Securities Act and under any applicable state securities or "blue sky" laws
or unless an exemption from such registration is available.
1.9 The Subscriber understands that the Securities comprising the Units
have not been registered under the Securities Act by reason of a claimed
exemption under the provisions of the Securities Act that depends, in part, upon
the Subscriber's investment intention. In this connection, the Subscriber hereby
represents that the Subscriber is purchasing the Securities for the Subscriber's
own account for investment and not with a view toward the resale or distribution
to others. The Subscriber, if an entity, further represents that it was not
formed for the purpose of purchasing the Securities.
1.10 The Subscriber understands that there is no public market for the
Common Stock and that no market may develop for any of such Securities. The
Subscriber understands that even if a public market develops for such
Securities, Rule 144 ("Rule 144") promulgated under the Securities Act requires
for non-affiliates, among other conditions, a one-year holding period prior to
the resale (in limited amounts) of securities acquired in a non-public offering
without having to satisfy the registration requirements under the Securities
Act. The Subscriber understands and hereby acknowledges that the Company is
under no obligation to register any of the Securities under the Securities Act
or any state securities or "blue sky" laws other than as set forth in Article V.
3
1.11 The Subscriber consents to the placement of a legend on any
certificate or other document evidencing the Securities that such Securities
have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities or
"blue sky" laws and setting forth or referring to the restrictions on
transferability and sale thereof contained in this Agreement. The Subscriber is
aware that the Company will make a notation in its appropriate records with
respect to the restrictions on the transferability of such Securities. The
legend to be placed on each certificate shall be in form substantially similar
to the following:
"THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE
UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "ACT") OR ANY STATE
SECURITIES OR "BLUE SKY LAWS," AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, TRANSFERRED,
ASSIGNED, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED ABSENT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION THEREOF
UNDER SUCH ACT OR COMPLIANCE WITH RULE 144 PROMULGATED UNDER SUCH ACT, OR
UNLESS THE COMPANY HAS RECEIVED AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, REASONABLY
SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY AND ITS COUNSEL, THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT
REQUIRED."
1.12 The Subscriber understands that the Company will review this
Agreement and is hereby given authority by the Subscriber to call Subscriber's
bank or place of employment or otherwise review the financial standing of the
Subscriber; and it is further agreed that the Company, at its sole discretion,
reserves the unrestricted right, without further documentation or agreement on
the part of the Subscriber, to reject or limit any subscription, to accept
subscriptions for fractional Units and to close the Offering to the Subscriber
at any time and that the Company will issue stop transfer instructions to its
transfer agent with respect to such Securities.
1.13 The Subscriber hereby represents that the address of the Subscriber
furnished by Subscriber on the signature page hereof is the Subscriber's
principal residence if Subscriber is an individual or its principal business
address if it is a corporation or other entity.
1.14 The Subscriber represents that the Subscriber has full power and
authority (corporate, statutory and otherwise) to execute and deliver this
Agreement and to purchase the Units. This Agreement constitutes the legal, valid
and binding obligation of the Subscriber, enforceable against the Subscriber in
accordance with its terms.
1.15 If the Subscriber is a corporation, partnership, limited liability
company, trust, employee benefit plan, individual retirement account, Xxxxx
Plan, or other tax-exempt entity, it is authorized and qualified to invest in
the Company and the person signing this Agreement on behalf of such entity has
been duly authorized by such entity to do so.
1.16 The Subscriber acknowledges that if he or she is a Registered
Representative of an NASD member firm, he or she must give such firm the notice
required by the NASD's Rules of Fair Practice, receipt of which must be
acknowledged by such firm in Section 7.4 below.
1.17 The Subscriber acknowledges that at such time, if ever, as the
Securities are registered (as such term is defined in Article V hereof), sales
of the Securities will be subject to state securities laws.
4
1.18 (a) The Subscriber agrees not to issue any public statement with
respect to the Subscriber's investment or proposed investment in the Company or
the terms of any agreement or covenant between them and the Company without the
Company's prior written consent, except such disclosures as may be required
under applicable law or under any applicable order, rule or regulation.
(b) The Company agrees not to disclose the names, addresses or any
other information about the Subscribers, except as required by law; provided,
that the Company may use the name of the Subscriber for any offering or in any
registration statement filed pursuant to Article V in which the Subscriber's
shares are included.
1.19 The Subscriber agrees to hold the Company and its directors,
officers, employees, affiliates, controlling persons and agents and their
respective heirs, representatives, successors and assigns harmless and to
indemnify them against all liabilities, costs and expenses incurred by them as a
result of (a) any sale or distribution of the Securities by the Subscriber in
violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities or "blue sky"
laws; or (b) any false representation or warranty or any breach or failure by
the Subscriber to comply with any covenant made by the Subscriber in this
Agreement (including the Confidential Investor Questionnaire contained in
Article VII herein) or any other document furnished by the Subscriber to any of
the foregoing in connection with this transaction.

any employment contract, proprietary information agreement or any other
agreement relating to the right of any such individual to be employed by, or to
contract with, the Company because of the nature of the business conducted by
the Company; and to the Company's knowledge the continued employment by the
Company of its present employees, and the performance of the Company's contracts
with its independent contractors, will not result in any such violation. The
Company has not received any written notice alleging that any such violation has
occurred. Except as described in the Memorandum, no employee of the Company has

(a) The Company agrees that if, at any time, and from time to time,
after the earlier to occur of (i) an Acquisition and (ii) a Trading Event, the
Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board") shall authorize the filing of a

Holder to promptly effect the proposed sale or other disposition.
(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 5.2, the
Company may at any time, abandon or delay any registration commenced by the
Company. In the event of such an abandonment by the Company, the Company shall
not be required to continue registration of shares requested by the Holder for

include Registrable Securities in a Company registration statement, the Company
shall, as expeditiously as reasonably possible:
10
(a) Use best efforts to (i) cause such registration statement to
become effective, and (ii) cause such registration statement to remain effective
until the earliest to occur of (A) such date as the sellers of Registrable
Securities (the "Selling Holders") have completed the distribution described in
the registration statement and (B) such time that all of such Registrable
Securities are no longer, by reason of Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act,
required to be registered for the sale thereof by such Holders. The Company will
also use its best efforts to, during the period that such registration statement
is required to be maintained hereunder, file such post-effective amendments and
supplements thereto as may be required by the Securities Act and the rules and
regulations thereunder or otherwise to ensure that the registration statement
does not contain any untrue statement of material fact or omit to state a fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements contained
therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not
misleading; provided, however, that if applicable rules under the Securities Act
governing the obligation to file a post-effective amendment permits, in lieu of
filing a post-effective amendment that (i) includes any prospectus required by
Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act or (ii) reflects facts or events
representing a material or fundamental change in the information set forth in
the registration statement, the Company may incorporate by reference information
required to be included in (i) and (ii) above to the extent such information is
contained in periodic reports filed pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the
Exchange Act in the registration statement.
(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.
(c) Make available for inspection upon reasonable notice during the
Company's regular business hours by each Selling Holder, any underwriter
participating in any distribution pursuant to such registration statement, and
any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by such Selling Holder or
underwriter, all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and
properties of the Company, and cause the Company's officers, directors and
employees to supply all information reasonably requested by any such Selling
Holder, underwriter, attorney, accountant or agent in connection with such
registration statement.
(d) Furnish to the Selling Holders such numbers of copies of a
prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus as amended or supplemented from
time to time, 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.
(e) Use best efforts to register and qualify the securities covered
by such registration statement under such other federal or state securities laws
of such jurisdictions as shall be reasonably requested by the Selling Holders;
provided, however, 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,
unless the Company is already subject to service in such jurisdiction and except
as may be required by the Securities Act.
11
(f) 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 of such offering. Each Selling Holder
participating in such underwriting shall also enter into and perform its
obligations under such an agreement.
(g) 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, (i) when the registration
statement or any post-effective amendment and supplement thereto has become
effective; (ii) of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order or the initiation
of proceedings for that purpose (in which event the Company shall make every
effort to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending effectiveness of the
registration statement at the earliest possible time or prevent the entry
thereof); (iii) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect
to the suspension of the qualification of the Registrable Securities for sale in
any jurisdiction or the initiation of any proceeding for such purpose; and (iv)
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.
(h) Cause all such Registrable Securities registered hereunder to be
listed on each securities exchange or quotation service on which similar
securities issued by the Company are then listed or quoted or, if no such
similar securities are listed or quoted on a securities exchange or quotation
service, apply for qualification and use best efforts to qualify such
Registrable Securities for inclusion on the New York Stock Exchange, American
Stock Exchange or listing on a quotation system of the National Association of
Securities Dealers, Inc.
(i) Provide a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable
Securities registered pursuant hereunder and CUSIP number for all such
Registrable Securities, in each case not later than the effective date of such
registration.
(j) Cooperate with the Selling Holders and the managing
underwriters, if any, to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of
certificates representing the Registrable Securities to be sold, which
certificates will not bear any restrictive legends; and enable such Registrable
Securities to be in such denominations and registered in such names as the
managing underwriters, if any, shall request at least two business days prior to
any sale of the Registrable Securities to the underwriters.
(k) In connection with an underwritten offering, cause the officers
of the Company to provide reasonable assistance in the preparation of, any "road
show" presentation to potential investors as the managing underwriter may
determine.
(l) Comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and
make generally available to its security holders earning statements satisfying
the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder
(or any similar rule promulgated under the Securities Act) no later than 50
calendar days after the end of any 3-month period (or 105 calendar days after
the end of any 12-month period if such period is a fiscal year) (i) commencing
at the end of any fiscal quarter in which Registrable Securities are sold to
underwriters in a firm commitment or best efforts underwritten offering, and
(ii) if not sold to underwriters in such an offering, commencing on the first
day of the first fiscal quarter of the Company, after the effective date of a
registration statement, which statements shall cover said period.
12
(m) If the offering is underwritten and at the request of any
Selling Holder, use its best efforts to furnish on the date that Registrable
Securities are delivered to the underwriters for sale pursuant to such
registration: (i) opinions dated such date of counsel representing the Company
for the purposes of such registration, addressed to the underwriters and the
transfer agent for the Registrable Securities so delivered, respectively, to the
effect that such registration statement has become effective under the
Securities Act and such Registrable Securities are freely tradable, and covering
such other matters as are customarily covered in opinions of issuer's counsel
delivered to underwriters and transfer agents in underwritten public offerings
and (ii) a letter dated such date from the independent public accountants who
have certified the financial statements of the Company included in the
registration statement or the prospectus, covering such matters as are
customarily covered in accountants' letters delivered to underwriters in
underwritten public offerings.
5.5 Furnish Information. It shall be a condition precedent to the
obligation of the Company to take any action pursuant to this Article V with
respect to the Registrable Securities of any Selling Holder that such Holder
shall furnish to the Company such information regarding the Holder, the
Registrable Securities held by the Holder, and the intended method of
disposition of such securities as shall be reasonably required by the Company to
effect the registration of such Holder's Registrable Securities.
5.6 Registration Expenses. The Company shall bear and pay all Registration
Expenses incurred in connection with any registration, filing or qualification
of Registrable Securities with respect to registrations pursuant to Section 5.2
for each Holder, but excluding underwriting discounts and commissions relating
to Registrable Securities and excluding any professional fees or costs of
accounting, financial or legal advisors to any of the Holders.
5.7 Underwriting Requirements. In connection with any offering involving
an underwriting of shares of the Company's capital stock, the Company shall not
be required under Section 5.2 to include any of the Holders' Registrable
Securities in such underwriting unless they accept the terms of the underwriting
as agreed upon between the Company and the underwriters selected by it (or by
other persons entitled to select the underwriters), and then only in such
quantity as the underwriters determine in their sole discretion will not
jeopardize the success of the offering by the Company. If the total amount of
securities, including Registrable Securities, requested by stockholders to be
included in such offering exceeds the amount of securities sold other than by
the Company that the underwriters determine in their sole discretion is
compatible with the success of the offering, then the Company shall be required
to include in the offering only that number of such securities, including
Registrable Securities, which the underwriters determine in their sole
discretion will not jeopardize the success of the offering (the securities so
included to be apportioned pro rata among the selling stockholders according to
the total amount of securities entitled to be included therein owned by each
selling stockholder or in such other proportions as shall mutually be agreed to
by such selling stockholders). For purposes of the preceding parenthetical
concerning apportionment, for any selling stockholder who is a holder of
Registrable Securities and is a partnership or corporation, the partners,
retired partners and stockholders of such holder, or the estates and family
members of any such partners and retired partners and any trusts for the benefit
13
of any of the foregoing persons shall be deemed to be a single "selling
stockholder," and any pro-rata reduction with respect to such "selling
stockholder" shall be based upon the aggregate amount of shares carrying
registration rights owned by all entities and individuals included in such
"selling stockholder," as defined in this sentence.
5.8 Delay of Registration. 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 Article.
5.9 Indemnification. In the event that any Registrable Securities are
included in a registration statement under this Article V:
(a) To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify and
hold harmless 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, or the Exchange Act, 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"): (i) any untrue statement of a material
fact contained in such registration statement, including any preliminary
prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or any amendments or
supplements thereto, (ii) the 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 by the Company of the Securities Act, the
Exchange Act, or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act, or
the Exchange Act, and the Company will pay to each such Holder, underwriter or
controlling person, as incurred, 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 5.9(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 any such Holder, underwriter or controlling person.
(b) To the extent permitted by law, each Selling Holder will
indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its
officers, each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of
the Securities Act, any underwriter, any other Holder selling securities in such
registration statement and any controlling person of any such underwriter or
other Holder, against any losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (joint or
several) to which any of the foregoing persons may become subject, under the
Securities Act, or the Exchange Act, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, or
liabilities (or actions in respect thereto) arise out of or are based upon any
Violation, in each case to the extent (and only to the extent) that such
Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information
furnished by such Holder expressly for use in connection with such registration;
and each such Holder will pay, as incurred, any legal or other expenses
reasonably incurred by any person intended to be indemnified pursuant to this
14
Section 5.9(b), in connection with investigating or defending any such loss,
claim, damage, liability, or action; provided, however, that the indemnity
agreement contained in this Section 5.9(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 5.9(b) exceed the greater of the cash value of the
(i) gross proceeds from the Offering received by such Holder or (ii) such
Holder's investment pursuant to this Agreement as set forth on the signature
page attached hereto.
(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this
Section 5.9 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any
governmental action), such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect
thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 5.9,
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 notified, to assume the defense thereof with counsel selected by
the indemnifying party and approved by the indemnified party (whose approval
shall not be unreasonably withheld); provided, however, that an indemnified
party (together with all other indemnified parties which may be represented
without conflict by one counsel) shall have the right to retain one separate
counsel, with the fees and expenses 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, if prejudicial to its ability to defend such action, shall relieve such
indemnifying party of any liability to the indemnified party under this Section
5.9, 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 5.9.
(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 5.9 is held
by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party
with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense referred to
therein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified
party hereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such
indemnified party as a result of such loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense
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 that resulted in such loss,
liability, claim, damage, or expense 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 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 prevent such
statement or omission.
15
(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the provisions
on indemnification and contribution contained in an underwriting agreement
entered into in connection with an underwritten public offering are in conflict
with the foregoing provisions, the provisions in such underwriting agreement
shall control.
(f) The obligations of the Company and Holders under this Section
5.9 shall survive the completion of the Offering.
5.10 Reports Under Securities Exchange Act of 1934. With a view to making
available to the Holders the benefits of Rule 144 and any other rule or
regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit a Holder to sell securities of
the Company to the public without registration or pursuant to a registration on
Form S-3, the Company agrees to:
(a) make and keep public information available, as those terms are
understood and defined in Rule 144, at all times after 90 days after the
effective date of the registration statement filed in connection with an
Acquisition;
(b) 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
(c) furnish to any Holder, so long as the Holder owns any
Registrable Securities, forthwith upon request (i) a copy of the most recent
annual or quarterly report of the Company and such other reports and documents
so filed by the Company, and (ii) such other information as may be reasonably
requested in availing any Holder of any rule or regulation of the SEC which
permits the selling of any such securities without registration or pursuant to
such form.
5.11 Permitted Transferees. The rights to cause the Company to register
Registrable Securities granted to the Holders by the Company under this Article
V may be assigned in full by a Holder in connection with a transfer by such
Holder of its Registrable Securities if: (a) such Holder gives prior written
notice to the Company; (b) such transferee agrees to comply with the terms and
provisions of this Agreement; (c) such transfer is otherwise in compliance with
this Agreement; and (d) such transfer is otherwise effected in accordance with
applicable securities laws. Except as specifically permitted by this Section
5.11, the rights of a Holder with respect to Registrable Securities as set out
herein shall not be transferable to any other Person, and any attempted transfer
shall cause all rights of such Holder therein to be forfeited.
5.12 Termination of Registration Rights The right of any Holder to request
inclusion in any registration pursuant to Section 5.2 shall terminate if all
shares of Registrable Securities held by such Holder may immediately be sold
under Rule 144(k).
16
