If at any time after twenty-four (24) months after the date of this Agreement, the Company receives a request from the Investor that the Company file a Form S-1 registration statement with respect to at least forty percent (40%) of the Registrable Securities then outstanding, then the Company shall, as soon as practicable, and in any event within sixty (60) days after the date such request is given by the Investor, file a Form S-1 registration statement under the Securities Act covering all Registrable Securities that the Investor requested to be registered, subject to the limitations of Subsections 2.1(c) and 2.3.

 

 3 

 

 

(b)         Form S-3 Demand. If at any time after twenty-four (24) months after the date of this Agreement, when it is eligible to use a Form S-3 registration statement, the Company receives a request from the Investor that the Company file a Form S-3 registration statement with respect to outstanding Registrable Securities of the Investor having an anticipated aggregate offering price, net of Selling Expenses, of at least $1 million, then the Company shall, as soon as practicable, and in any event within forty-five (45) days after the date such request is given by the Investor, file a Form S-3 registration statement under the Securities Act covering all Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration by the Investor, subject to the limitations of Subsections 2.1(c) and 2.3.

 

(c)         Notwithstanding the foregoing obligations, if the Company furnishes to the Investor a certificate signed by the Company’s chief executive officer stating that in the good faith judgment of the Company’s Board of Directors it would be materially detrimental to the Company and its stockholders for such registration statement to either become effective or remain effective for as long as such registration statement otherwise would be required to remain effective, because such action would (i) materially interfere with a significant acquisition, corporate reorganization, or other similar transaction involving the Company; (ii) require premature disclosure of material information that the Company has a bona fide business purpose for preserving as confidential; or (iii) render the Company unable to comply with requirements under the Securities Act or Exchange Act, then the Company shall have the right to defer taking action with respect to such filing, and any time periods with respect to filing or effectiveness thereof shall be tolled correspondingly, for a period of not more than ninety (90) days after the request of the Investor is given; provided, however, that the Company may not invoke this right more than once in any twelve (12) month period; and provided further that the Company shall not register any securities for its own account or that of any other stockholder during such ninety (90) day period other than pursuant to a registration relating to the sale of securities to employees of the Company or a subsidiary pursuant to a stock option, stock purchase, or similar plan; a registration on any form that does not include substantially the same information as would be required to be included in a registration statement covering the sale of the Registrable Securities.

 

(d)        The Company shall not be obligated to effect, or to take any action to effect, any registration pursuant to Subsection 2.1(a): (i) during the period that is sixty (60) days before the Company’s good faith estimate of the date of filing of, and ending on a date that is one hundred eighty (180) days after the effective date of, a Company-initiated registration, provided that the Company is actively employing in good faith commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective; (ii) after the Company has effected two registrations pursuant to Subsection 2.1(a); or (iii) if the Investor proposes to dispose of shares of Registrable Securities that may be immediately registered on Form S-3 pursuant to a request made pursuant to Subsection 2.1(b). The Company shall not be obligated to effect, or to take any action to effect, any registration pursuant to Subsection 2.1(b): (i) during the period that is thirty (30) days before the Company’s good faith estimate of the date of filing of, and ending on a date that is ninety (90) days after the effective date of, a Company-initiated registration, provided that the Company is actively employing in good faith commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective; or (ii) if the Company has effected two registrations pursuant to Subsection 2.1(b) within the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding the date of such request. A registration shall not be counted as “effected” for purposes of this Subsection 2.1(d) until such time as the applicable registration statement has been declared effective by the SEC, unless the Investor withdraws its request for such registration, elects not to pay the registration expenses therefor, and forfeits its right to one demand registration statement pursuant to Subsection 2.6, in which case such withdrawn registration statement shall be counted as “effected” for purposes of this Subsection 2.1(d).

 

 4 

 

 

2.2          Company Registration. If the Company proposes to register (including, for this purpose, a registration effected by the Company for stockholders other than the Investor) any of its securities under the Securities Act in connection with the public offering of such securities solely for cash (other than relating to the sale of securities to employees of the Company or a subsidiary pursuant to a stock option, stock purchase, or similar plan), the Company shall, at such time, promptly give the Investor notice of such registration. Upon the request of the Investor given within twenty (20) days after such notice is given by the Company, the Company shall, subject to the provisions of Subsection 2.3, cause to be registered all of the Registrable Securities that the Investor has requested to be included in such registration. The Company shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under this Subsection 2.2 before the effective date of such registration, whether or not the Investor has elected to include Registrable Securities in such registration. The expenses (other than Selling Expenses) of such withdrawn registration shall be borne by the Company in accordance with Subsection 2.6.

 

2.3         Underwriting Requirements.

 

(a)          If, pursuant to Subsection 2.1, the Investor intends to distribute the Registrable Securities covered by its request by means of an underwriting, it shall so advise the Company as a part of its request made pursuant to Subsection 2.1. The underwriter(s) will be selected by the Investor, subject to approval of the Company. In such event, the right of the Investor to include its Registrable Securities in such registration shall be conditioned upon the Investor’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of the Investor’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided herein. The Investor shall (together with the Company as provided in Subsection 2.4(e)) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter(s) selected for such underwriting. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Subsection 2.3, if the underwriter advises the Investor in writing that marketing factors require a limitation on the number of shares to be underwritten, then the number of Registrable Securities that may be included in the underwriting shall be so reduced subject to the Investor’s approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

 

(b)         In connection with any offering involving an underwriting of shares of the Company’s capital stock pursuant to Subsection 2.2, the Company shall not be required to include any of the Investor’s Registrable Securities in such underwriting unless the Investor accepts the terms of the underwriting as agreed upon between the Company and its underwriters, and then only in such quantity as the underwriters in their sole discretion determine will not jeopardize the success of the offering by the Company. If the total number of securities, including Registrable Securities, requested by stockholders to be included in such offering exceeds the number of securities to be sold (other than by the Company) that the underwriters in their reasonable discretion determine 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 and the Company in their sole discretion determine will not jeopardize the success of the offering. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall (i) the number of Registrable Securities included in the offering be reduced unless all other securities (other than securities to be sold by the Company) are first entirely excluded from the offering, or (ii) the number of Registrable Securities included in the offering be reduced below twenty percent (20%) of the total number of securities included in such offering.

 

 5 

 

 

(c)          For purposes of Subsection 2.1, a registration shall not be counted as “effected” if, as a result of an exercise of the underwriter’s cutback provisions in Subsection 2.3 (a), fewer than fifty percent (50%) of the total number of Registrable Securities that the Investor has requested to be included in such registration statement are actually included.

 

2.4           Obligations of the Company. Whenever required under this Section 2 to affect the registration of any Registrable Securities, the Company shall, as expeditiously as reasonably possible:

 

(a)         prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement with respect to such Registrable Securities and use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective and, upon the request of the Investor, keep such registration statement effective for the earlier of (i) period of up to nine (9) months, or (ii) as necessary to keep the registration statement effective until all such Registrable Securities are sold;

 

(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 Securities Act in order to enable the disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement;

 

(c)          furnish to the Investor such numbers of copies of a prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, as required by the Securities Act, and such other documents as the Investor may reasonably request in order to facilitate its disposition of its Registrable Securities;

 

(d)          use its commercially reasonable efforts to register and qualify the securities covered by such registration statement under such other securities or blue-sky laws of such jurisdictions as shall be reasonably requested by the Investor; provided that the Company shall not be required 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;

 

(e)         in the event of any underwritten public offering, enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary form, with the underwriter(s) of such offering;

 

 6 

 

 

(f)         use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause all such Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement to be listed on a national securities exchange or trading system and each securities exchange and trading system (if any) on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed;

 

(g)        provide a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable Securities registered pursuant to this Agreement and provide a CUSIP number for all such Registrable Securities, in each case not later than the effective date of such registration;

 

(h)        promptly make available for inspection by the Investor, any underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to such registration statement, and any attorney or accountant or other agent retained by any such underwriter or selected by the Investor, all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents, and properties of the Company, and cause the Company’s officers, directors, employees, and independent accountants to supply all information reasonably requested by any such seller, underwriter, attorney, accountant, or agent, in each case, as necessary or advisable to verify the accuracy of the information in such registration statement and to conduct appropriate due diligence in connection therewith;

 

(i)         notify the Investor, promptly after the Company receives notice thereof, of the time when such registration statement has been declared effective or a supplement to any prospectus forming a part of such registration statement has been filed; and

 

(j)         after such registration statement becomes effective, notify the Investor of any request by the SEC that the Company amend or supplement such registration statement or prospectus.

 

In addition, the Company shall ensure that, at all times after any registration statement covering a public offering of securities of the Company under the Securities Act shall have become effective, its insider trading policy shall provide that the Company’s directors may implement a trading program under Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act.

 

2.5           Furnish Information. It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to take any action pursuant to this Section 2 with respect to the Registrable Securities of the Investor that the Investor shall furnish to the Company such information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it, and the intended method of disposition of such securities as is reasonably required to effect the registration of the Investor’s Registrable Securities.

 

2.6           Expenses of Registration. All expenses (other than Selling Expenses) incurred in connection with registrations, filings, or qualifications pursuant to Section 2, including all registration, filing, and qualification fees; printers’ and accounting fees; fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company; shall be borne and paid by the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay for any expenses of any registration proceeding begun pursuant to Subsection 2.1 if the registration request is subsequently withdrawn at the request of the Investor (in which case the Investor shall bear such expenses), unless the Investor agrees to forfeit its right to one registration pursuant to Subsection 2.1(a); provided further that if, at the time of such withdrawal, the Investor shall have learned of a material adverse change in the condition, business, or prospects of the Company and have withdrawn the request with reasonable promptness after learning of such information, then the Investor shall not be required to pay any of such expenses and shall not forfeit its right to one registration pursuant to Subsections 2.1(a). All Selling Expenses relating to Registrable Securities registered pursuant to this Section 2 shall be borne and paid by the Investor on the basis of the number of Registrable Securities registered on its behalf.

 

 7 

 

 

2.7          Delay of Registration. The Investor shall not have any right to obtain or seek an injunction restraining or otherwise delaying any registration pursuant to this Agreement as the result of any controversy that might arise with respect to the interpretation or implementation of this Section 2.

 

2.8          Indemnification. If any Registrable Securities are included in a registration statement under this Section 2:

 

(a)         To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless the Investor, and the partners, members, officers, directors, and stockholders of the Investor; legal counsel and accountants for the Investor; any underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act) for the Investor; and each Person, if any, who controls the Investor or underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, against any Damages, and the Company will pay the Investor, underwriter, controlling Person, or other aforementioned Person any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred thereby in connection with investigating or defending any claim or proceeding from which Damages may result, as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Subsection 2.8(a) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such claim or proceeding if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, nor shall the Company be liable for any Damages to the extent that they arise out of or are based upon actions or omissions made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by or on behalf of the Investor, underwriter, controlling Person, or other aforementioned Person expressly for use in connection with such registration.

 

(b)        To the extent permitted by law, the Investor will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, and 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, legal counsel and accountants for the Company, any underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act), and any controlling Person of any such underwriter, against any Damages, in each case only to the extent that such Damages arise out of or are based upon actions or omissions made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by or on behalf of the Investor expressly for use in connection with such registration; and the Investor will pay to the Company and each other aforementioned Person any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred thereby in connection with investigating or defending any claim or proceeding from which Damages may result, as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Subsection 2.8(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such claim or proceeding if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Investor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; and provided further that in no event shall the aggregate amounts payable by any stockholder by way of indemnity or contribution under Subsections 2.8(b) and 2.8(d) exceed the proceeds from the offering received by the Investor (net of any Selling Expenses paid by the Investor), except in the case of fraud or willful misconduct by the Investor.

 

 8 

 

 

(c)          Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Subsection 2.8 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action) for which a party may be entitled to indemnification hereunder, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Subsection 2.8, give the indemnifying party notice of the commencement thereof. The indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in such action and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, participate jointly with any other indemnifying party to which notice has been given, and to assume the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the parties; provided, however, that an indemnified party (together with all other indemnified parties that 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 action.

 

(d)         To provide for just and equitable contribution to joint liability under the Securities Act in any case in which either: (i) any party otherwise entitled to indemnification hereunder makes a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Subsection 2.8 but it is judicially determined (by the entry of a final judgment or decree by a court of competent jurisdiction and the expiration of time to appeal or the denial of the last right of appeal) that such indemnification may not be enforced in such case, notwithstanding the fact that this Subsection 2.8 provides for indemnification in such case, or (ii) contribution under the Securities Act may be required on the part of any party hereto for which indemnification is provided under this Subsection 2.8, then, and in each such case, such parties will contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages, liabilities, or expenses to which they may be subject (after contribution from others) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of each of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party in connection with the statements, omissions, or other actions that resulted in such loss, claim, damage, liability, or expense, as well as to reflect 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 allegedly untrue statement of a material fact, or the omission or alleged omission of a material fact, relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information, and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission; provided, however, that, in any such case (x) the Investor will not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the public offering price of all such Registrable Securities offered and sold by the Investor pursuant to such registration statement, and (y) no Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) will be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation; and provided further that in no event shall the Investor’s liability pursuant to this Subsection 2.8(d) when combined with the amounts paid or payable by the Investor pursuant to Subsection 2.8(b), exceed the proceeds from the offering received by the Investor (net of any Selling Expenses paid by the Investor), except in the case of willful misconduct or fraud by the Investor.

 

 9 

 

 

(e)          Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the provisions on indemnification and contribution contained in the underwriting agreement entered into in connection with the underwritten public offering are in conflict with the foregoing provisions, the provisions in the underwriting agreement shall control.

 

(f)          Unless otherwise superseded by an underwriting agreement entered into in connection with the underwritten public offering, the obligations of the Company and the Investor under this Subsection 2.8 shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in a registration under this Section 2, and otherwise shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

 

2.9          Reports Under Exchange Act. With a view to making available to the Investor the benefits of SEC Rule 144 and any other rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit the Investor to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration or pursuant to a registration on Form S-3, the Company shall:

 

(a)         make and keep available adequate current public information, as those terms are understood and defined in SEC Rule 144;

 

(b)         use commercially reasonable efforts to 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 the Investor, so long as the Investor owns any Registrable Securities, forthwith upon request (i) to the extent accurate, a written statement by the Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements of SEC Rule 144, the Securities Act, and the Exchange Act, or that it qualifies as a registrant whose securities may be resold pursuant to Form S-3 (at any time after the Company so qualifies); and (ii) such other information as may be reasonably requested in availing the Investor of any rule or regulation of the SEC that permits the selling of any such securities without registration or pursuant to Form S-3 (at any time after the Company so qualifies to use such form).

 

2.10       “Market Stand-off” Agreement. The Investor hereby agrees that it will not, without the prior written consent of the managing underwriter, during the period commencing on the date of the final prospectus relating to the registration by the Company for its own behalf of shares of its Common Stock or any other equity securities under the Securities Act on a registration statement on Form S-1 or Form S-3, and ending on the date specified by the Company and the managing underwriter (such period not to exceed ninety (90) days, or such other period as may be requested by the Company or an underwriter to accommodate regulatory restrictions on (1) the publication or other distribution of research reports, and (2) analyst recommendations and opinions, including, but not limited to, the restrictions contained in FINRA Rule 2711(f)(4) (or any successor provisions or amendments thereto), (i) lend; offer; pledge; sell; contract to sell; sell any option or contract to purchase; purchase any option or contract to sell; grant any option, right, or warrant to purchase; or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable (directly or indirectly) for Common Stock held immediately before the effective date of the registration statement for such offering or (ii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of such securities, whether any such transaction described in clause (i) or (ii) above is to be settled by delivery of Common Stock or other securities, in cash, or otherwise. The foregoing provisions of this Subsection 2.10 shall not apply to the sale of any shares to an underwriter pursuant to an underwriting agreement or the transfer of any shares to any Affiliate of the Investor, and shall be applicable to the Investor only if all officers and directors are subject to the same restrictions. The underwriters in connection with such registration are intended third-party beneficiaries of this Subsection 2.10 and shall have the right, power and authority to enforce the provisions hereof as though they were a party hereto. The Investor further agrees to execute such agreements as may be reasonably requested by the underwriters in connection with such registration that are consistent with this Subsection 2.10 or that are necessary to give further effect thereto.

2.11       Restrictions on Transfer.

 

(a)          The Registrable Securities shall not be sold, pledged, or otherwise transferred, and the Company shall not recognize and shall issue stop-transfer instructions to its transfer agent with respect to any such sale, pledge, or transfer, except upon the conditions specified in this Agreement, which conditions are intended to ensure compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act. The Investor will cause any proposed purchaser, pledgee, or transferee of the Registrable Securities held by the Investor to agree to take and hold such securities subject to the provisions and upon the conditions specified in this Agreement.

 

(b)         Each certificate, instrument, or book entry representing the Registrable Securities, upon any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, or similar event, shall (unless otherwise permitted by the provisions of Subsection 2.11(c)) be notated with a legend substantially in the following form:

 

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933. SUCH SHARES MAY NOT BE SOLD, PLEDGED, OR TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR A VALID EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION AND PROSPECTUS DELIVERY REQUIREMENTS OF SAID ACT.

 

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY MAY BE TRANSFERRED ONLY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND THE STOCKHOLDER, A COPY OF WHICH IS ON FILE WITH THE SECRETARY OF THE COMPANY.

 

The Investor consents to the Company making a notation in its records and giving instructions to any transfer agent of the Restricted Securities in order to implement the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Subsection 2.11.

 

 11 

 

 

(c)         The Investor, as holder of such Restricted Securities, by acceptance of ownership thereof, agrees to comply in all respects with the provisions of this Section 2. Before any proposed sale, pledge, or transfer of any Restricted Securities, unless there is in effect a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the proposed transaction, the Investor shall give notice to the Company of the Investor’s intention to effect such sale, pledge, or transfer. Each such notice shall describe the manner and circumstances of the proposed sale, pledge, or transfer in sufficient detail and, if reasonably requested by the Company, shall be accompanied at the Investor’s expense by either (i) a written opinion of legal counsel who shall, and whose legal opinion shall, be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, addressed to the Company, to the effect that the proposed transaction may be effected without registration under the Securities Act; (ii) a “no action” letter from the SEC to the effect that the proposed sale, pledge, or transfer of such Restricted Securities without registration will not result in a recommendation by the staff of the SEC that action be taken with respect thereto; or (iii) any other evidence reasonably satisfactory to counsel to the Company to the effect that the proposed sale, pledge, or transfer of the Restricted Securities may be effected without registration under the Securities Act, whereupon the Investor shall be entitled to sell, pledge, or transfer such Restricted Securities in accordance with the terms of the notice given by the Investor to the Company. The Company will not require such a legal opinion or “no action” letter (x) in any transaction in compliance with SEC Rule 144; or (y) in any transaction in which the Investor distributes Restricted Securities to an Affiliate of the Investor for no consideration; provided that each transferee agrees in writing to be subject to the terms of this Subsection 2.11. Each certificate, instrument, or book entry representing the Restricted Securities transferred as above provided shall be notated with, except if such transfer is made pursuant to SEC Rule 144, the appropriate restrictive legend set forth in Subsection 2.11(b), except that such certificate instrument, or book entry shall not be notated with such restrictive legend if, in the opinion of counsel for the Investor and the Company, such legend is not required in order to establish compliance with any provisions of the Securities Act.

 

2.12       Termination of Registration Rights. The right of the Investor to request registration or inclusion of Registrable Securities in any registration pursuant to Subsections 2.1 or 2.2 shall terminate at such time as Rule 144 or another similar exemption under the Securities Act is available for the sale of all of the Investor’s shares without limitation during a three-month period without registration.

 

3.            Inspection and Observer Rights.

 

3.1           Inspection. For so long as the Investor and/or its Affiliates own not less than twenty-five percent (25%) of the shares of the Common Stock purchased by the Investor under the Purchase Agreement, the Company shall permit the Investor, at the Investor’s expense, to visit and inspect the Company’s properties; examine its books of account and records; and discuss the Company’s affairs, finances, and accounts with its officers, during normal business hours of the Company as may be reasonably requested by the Investor; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated pursuant to this Subsection 3.1 to provide access to any information that it reasonably and in good faith considers to be a trade secret or confidential information (unless covered by an enforceable confidentiality agreement, in form acceptable to the Company) or the disclosure of which would adversely affect the attorney-client privilege between the Company and its counsel; and provided further that such inspection shall only follow reasonable notice to the Company, shall not occur more frequently than one time per year and shall occur after completion of the Company’s independent audit and subsequent filing of its Annual Report on Form 10-K.

 

 12 

 

 

3.2          Observer Rights. As long as the Investor and/or its Affiliates own not less than twenty-five percent (25%) of the shares of the Common Stock purchased by the Investor under the Purchase Agreement, the Company shall invite a representative of the Investor to attend all meetings of its Board of Directors in a nonvoting observer capacity and, in this respect, shall give such representative copies of all notices, minutes, consents, and other materials that it provides to its directors at the same time and in the same manner as provided to such directors; provided, however, that such representative shall agree to hold in confidence and trust and to act in a fiduciary manner with respect to all information so provided; and provided further, that the Company reserves the right to withhold any information and to exclude such representative from any meeting or portion thereof if access to such information or attendance at such meeting could adversely affect the attorney-client privilege between the Company and its counsel or result in disclosure of trade secrets or a conflict of interest.

 

4.            Rights to Future Stock Issuances.

 

4.1           Right of First Offer. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Subsection 4.1 and applicable securities laws, if the Company proposes to offer or sell any New Securities, the Company shall first offer such New Securities to the Investor. The Investor shall be entitled to apportion the right of first offer hereby granted to it in such proportions as it deems appropriate, among itself and its Affiliates; provided that each such Affiliate or Investor Beneficial Owner agrees to enter into this Agreement as an “Investor.”

 

(a)          The Company shall give notice (the “Offer Notice”) to the Investor, stating (i) its bona fide intention to offer such New Securities, (ii) the number of such New Securities to be offered, and (iii) the price and terms, if any, upon which it proposes to offer such New Securities.

 

(b)         By notification to the Company within fifteen (15) days after the Offer Notice is given, the Investor may elect to purchase or otherwise acquire, at the price and on the terms specified in the Offer Notice, up to that portion of such New Securities which equals the proportion that the Common Stock then held by the Investor (including all shares of Common Stock then issuable (directly or indirectly) upon conversion and/or exercise of any Derivative Securities then held by the Investor) bears to the total Common Stock of the Company then outstanding (assuming full conversion and/or exercise, as applicable, of all Derivative Securities). The closing of any sale pursuant to this Subsection 4.1(b) shall occur within forty-five (45) days of the date that the Offer Notice is given and the date of initial sale of New Securities pursuant to Subsection 4.1(c).

 

(c)          If all New Securities referred to in the Offer Notice are not elected to be purchased or acquired as provided in Subsection 4.1(b), the Company may, during the ninety (90) day period following the expiration of the periods provided in Subsection 4.1(b), offer and sell the remaining unsubscribed portion of such New Securities to any Person or Persons at a price not less than, and upon terms no more favorable to the offeree than, those specified in the Offer Notice. If the Company does not enter into an agreement for the sale of the New Securities within such period, or if such agreement is not consummated within thirty (30) days of the execution thereof, the right provided hereunder shall be deemed to be revived and such New Securities shall not be offered unless first reoffered to the Investor in accordance with this Subsection 4.1.

 

 13 

 

 

(d)         The right of first offer in this Subsection 4.1 shall not be applicable to the sale of securities to employees of the Company or a subsidiary pursuant to a stock option, stock purchase, or similar plan.

 

4.2           Termination. The covenants set forth in Subsection 4.1 shall terminate and be of no further force or effect at such time when the Investor ceases to own at least twenty-five percent (25%) of the shares of the Common Stock purchased by the Investor under the Purchase Agreement, which number is subject to appropriate adjustment for all stock splits, dividends, combinations, recapitalizations and the like.

 

5.            Additional Covenants.

 

5.1           Board Matters. Unless the rules and regulations of any stock exchange on which the Company’s Common Stock trades prohibits such limitation on the board of directors, the Board of Directors shall consist of five (5) directors, at least one (1) of which shall be an independent director.

 

(b)         For so long as the Investor and/or its Affiliates continue to own beneficially at least twenty-five percent (25%) of the shares of the Common Stock purchased by the Investor under the Purchase Agreement, which number is subject to appropriate adjustment for all stock splits, dividends, combinations, recapitalizations and the like, the Investor shall have the right to designate and/or nominate one (1) director to the Board of Directors (the “Investor Director”).

 

(c)         The Company hereby covenants and agrees that, for so long as the Investor has the right to nominate an Investor Director, the Company shall (through action of the board of directors) appoint such Investor Director to the Board of Directors. The Company will further support any nomination of the Investor (and use reasonable efforts to cause such Investor Director to be elected) at any annual or special meeting of the shareholders of the Company at which directors are to be elected.

 

(d)        The Company hereby covenants and agrees that in the event of the death, disability, resignation or removal of an Investor Director, the Board of Directors will promptly elect to the Board of Directors a replacement director designated by the Investor to fill the resulting vacancy.

 

5.2           Budget Review. For so long as the Investor and/or its Affiliates continue to own beneficially at least twenty-five percent (25%) of the shares of the Common Stock purchased by the Investor under the Purchase Agreement, at the request of the Investor Director upon reasonable notice to the Company, the Investor Director plus the chief executive officer and the chief financial officer of the Company shall meet once annually and review the annual business plan and operating budget produced prior to its submission to the Board of Directors; provided, however, if no such request is made, the Company shall not be precluded from distributing its annual business plan and operating budget to the Board of Directors; and provided further, nothing in this Section 5.2 precludes the chief executive officer and the chief financial officer of the Company from carrying out their fiduciary duties and submitting an annual business plan and operating budget to the Board of Directors, even when the Investor Director may disagree with the contents of the final version of such annual business plan and operating budget.

5.4           Successor Indemnification. If the Company or any of its successors or assignees consolidates with or merges into any other Person and is not the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger, then to the extent necessary, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assignees of the Company assume the obligations of the Company with respect to indemnification of members of the Board of Directors as in effect immediately before such transaction, whether such obligations are contained in the Company’s Bylaws, its Certificate of Incorporation, or elsewhere, as the case may be.

 

5.5           Indemnification Matters. The Company hereby acknowledges that the Investor Director may have certain rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and/or insurance by virtue of his/her position on the Board of Directors of the Company. The Company hereby agrees that it shall be required to advance the full amount of expenses incurred by such Investor Director and shall be liable for the full amount of all expenses, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement by or on behalf of any such Investor Director to the extent legally permitted and as required by the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws (or any agreement between the Company and such Investor Director).

Exhibit 10.3

 

Indemnity Agreement

 

This Indemnity Agreement dated as of the 24th day of September, 2015 is made by and between OptimizeRx Corp., a Nevada corporation (the “Corporation”), and Lynn O’Connor Vos (the “Indemnitee”).

 

Recitals

 

As required by the Stock Purchase Agreement by and between the Corporation and WPP Luxembourg Gamma Three Sarl of even date herewith, the Corporation is required to indemnify the Indemnitee in his capacity as a member of the Corporation’s board of directors and to make arrangements pursuant to which the Indemnitee may be advanced or reimbursed expenses incurred by Indemnitee in certain proceedings described below, according to the terms and conditions set forth below.

 

Agreement

 

THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals, the parties agree as follows:

 

1. Indemnification.

 

(a)           In accordance with the provisions of subsection (b) of this Section 1, the Corporation shall hold harmless and indemnify the Indemnitee against any and all expenses, liabilities and losses (including, without limitation, investigation expenses and expert witnesses’ and attorneys’ fees and expenses, costs of court, judgments, penalties, fines, and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) actually incurred by the Indemnitee (net of any related insurance proceeds or other amounts received by Indemnitee or paid by or on behalf of the Corporation on the Indemnitee’s behalf), in connection with any action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative, to which the Indemnitee is a party or is threatened to be made a party (a “Proceeding”) based upon, arising from, relating to, or by reason of the fact that Indemnitee is, was, shall be, or shall have been a director of the Corporation.

 

(b)           Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Indemnitee shall be entitled to the rights of indemnification provided in this Section 1 for any expenses actually incurred in any Proceeding initiated by or in the right of the Corporation, unless indemnification is barred by applicable law.

 

(c)           In providing the foregoing indemnification, the Corporation shall, with respect to any proceeding, hold harmless and indemnify the Indemnitee to the fullest extent not prohibited by the law of the State of Nevada, as in effect from time and time, and the Articles of Incorporation.  For purposes of this Agreement, it is intended that the indemnification afforded hereby be mandatory and the broadest possible under any then existing statutory provision expressly authorizing the Corporation to indemnify directors or officers whether in effect on the date of this Agreement or hereafter.

 

2.           Other Indemnification Agreements.  The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance or furnish similar protection or make other arrangements, including, but not limited to, providing a trust fund, letter of credit, or surety bond (“Indemnification Arrangements”) on behalf of the Indemnitee against any liability asserted against him or her or incurred by or on behalf of him or her in such capacity as a director of the Corporation, or arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify him or her against such liability under the provisions of this Agreement.  The purchase, establishment, and maintenance of any such Indemnification Arrangement shall not in any way limit or affect the rights and obligations of the Corporation or of the Indemnitee under this Agreement except as expressly provided herein, and the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Corporation and the Indemnitee shall not in any way limit or affect the rights and obligations of the Corporation or the other party or parties thereto under any such Indemnification Arrangement.  All amounts payable by the Corporation pursuant to this Section 2 and Section 1 hereof are herein referred to as “Indemnified Amounts.”  To the extent the Corporation is able to obtain directors and officers liability insurance of a reasonable premium (as determined by the Corporation in its sole discretion), the Corporation shall use reasonable efforts to cause the Indemnitee to be covered by such insurance.

 

 

 

 

3. Advance Payment of Indemnified Amounts.

 

(a)           The Indemnitee hereby is granted the right to receive in advance of a final, nonappealable judgment or other final adjudication of a Proceeding (a “Final Determination”) the amount of any and all expenses, including, without limitation, investigation expenses, court costs, expert witnesses’ and attorneys’ fees and other expenses expended or incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with any Proceeding or otherwise expensed or incurred by the Indemnitee (such amounts so expended or incurred being hereinafter referred to as “Advanced Amounts”).

 

(b)           In making any written request for Advanced Amounts, the Indemnitee shall submit to the Corporation a schedule setting forth in reasonable detail the dollar amount expended or incurred and expected to be expended.  Each such listing shall be supported by the bill, agreement, or other documentation relating thereto, each of which shall be appended to the schedule as an exhibit.  In addition, before the Indemnitee may receive Advanced Amounts from the Corporation, the Indemnitee shall provide to the Corporation (i) a written affirmation of the Indemnitee’s good faith belief that the applicable standard of conduct required for indemnification by the Corporation has been satisfied by the Indemnitee, and (ii) a written undertaking by or on behalf of the Indemnitee to repay the Advanced Amount if it shall ultimately be determined that the Indemnitee has not satisfied any applicable standard of conduct.  The written undertaking required from the Indemnitee shall be an unlimited general obligation of the Indemnitee but need not be secured.  The Corporation shall pay to the Indemnitee all Advanced Amounts within twenty (20) days after receipt by the Corporation of all information and documentation required to be provided by the Indemnitee pursuant to this paragraph.

 

4. Procedure for Payment of Indemnified Amounts.

 

(a)           To obtain indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnitee shall submit to the Corporation a written request for payment of the appropriate Indemnified Amounts, including with such requests such documentation and information as is reasonably available to the Indemnitee and reasonably necessary to determine whether and to what extent the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification.  The Secretary of the Corporation shall, promptly upon receipt of such a request for indemnification, advise the Board of Directors in writing that the Indemnitee has requested indemnification.

 

(b)           The Corporation shall pay the Indemnitee the appropriate Indemnified Amounts unless it is established that the Indemnitee engaged in one of the Prohibited Acts, and such Prohibited Act was the subject matter of the Proceeding.  For purposes of determining whether the Indemnitee is entitled to Indemnified Amounts, in order to deny indemnification to the Indemnitee, the Corporation has the burden of proof in establishing (1) that the Indemnitee engaged in the Prohibited Act, and (2) that the Prohibited Act was the subject matter of the Proceeding.  In this regard, a termination of any Proceeding by judgment, order or settlement does not create a presumption that the Indemnitee did not meet the requisite standard of conduct; provided, however, that the termination of any criminal proceeding by conviction, or a pleading of nolo contendere or its equivalent, or an entry of an order of probation prior to judgment, creates a rebuttable presumption that the Indemnitee engaged in a Prohibited Act.  For purposes of this Agreement, a “Prohibited Act” shall mean any act, omission or condition for which indemnity is not available under any applicable federal or state law or public policy.

 

2

 

 

(c)           Any determination that the Indemnitee has engaged in a Prohibited Act shall be made (i) either by the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to such Proceeding; or (ii) by independent legal counsel (who may be the outside counsel regularly employed by the Corporation); provided that the manner in which (and, if applicable, the counsel by which) the right of indemnification is to be determined shall be approved in advance in writing by both the highest ranking executive officer of the Corporation who is not a party to such action (sometimes hereinafter referred to as “Senior Officer”) and by the Indemnitee.  In the event that such parties are unable to agree on the manner in which any such determination is to be made, such determination shall be made by independent legal counsel retained by the Corporation especially for such purpose, provided that such counsel be approved in advance in writing by both the Senior Officer and the Indemnitee and, provided further, that such counsel shall not be outside counsel regularly employed by the Corporation.  The fees and expenses of counsel in connection with making the determination contemplated hereunder shall be paid by the Corporation, and, if requested by such counsel, the Corporation shall give such counsel an appropriate written agreement with respect to the payment of their fees and expenses and such other matters as may be reasonably requested by counsel.

 

(d)           The Corporation will use its best efforts to conclude as soon as practicable any required determination pursuant to subparagraph (c) above and promptly will advise the Indemnitee in writing with respect to any determination that the Indemnitee is or is not entitled to indemnification, including a description of any reason or basis for which indemnification has been denied.  Payment of any applicable Indemnified Amounts will be made to the Indemnitee within ten (10) days after any determination of the Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification.

 

(e)           Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnitee may, at any time after sixty (60) days after a claim for Indemnified Amounts has been filed with the Corporation (or upon receipt of written notice that a claim for Indemnified Amounts has been rejected, if earlier) and before three (3) years after a claim for Indemnified Amounts has been filed, petition a court of competent jurisdiction to determine whether the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under the provisions of this Agreement, and such court shall thereupon have the exclusive authority to make such determination unless and until such court dismisses or otherwise terminates such action without having made such determination.  The court shall, as petitioned, make an independent determination of whether the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification as provided under this Agreement, irrespective of any prior determination made by the Board of Directors or independent counsel.  If the court shall determine that the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification as to any claim, issue or matter involved in the Proceeding with respect to which there has been no prior determination pursuant to this Agreement or with respect to which there has been a prior determination that the Indemnitee was not entitled to indemnification hereunder, the Corporation shall pay all expenses (including attorneys’ fees and court costs) actually incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with such judicial determination.

 

5. Agreement Not Exclusive; Subrogation Rights, etc.

 

(a)           This Agreement shall not be deemed exclusive of and shall not diminish any other rights the Indemnitee may have to be indemnified or insured or otherwise protected against any liability, loss, or expense by the Corporation, any subsidiary of the Corporation, or any other person or entity under any charter, bylaws, law, agreement, policy of insurance or similar protection, vote of stockholders or directors, disinterested or not, or otherwise, whether or not now in effect, both as to actions in the Indemnitee’s official capacity, and as to actions in another capacity while holding such office.  The Corporation’s obligations to make payments of Indemnified Amounts hereunder shall be satisfied to the extent that payments with respect to the same Proceeding (or part thereof) have been made to or for the benefit of the Indemnitee by reason of the indemnification of the Indemnitee pursuant to any other arrangement made by the Corporation for the benefit of the Indemnitee.

 

3

 

 

(b)           For as long as this Agreement is in effect, the Corporation shall maintain director insurance with the coverage, the loss per occurrence, and the tail policy as periodically approved by the Board. If at any time this policy lapses or is not renewed or is no longer available (collectively, “Coverage Failure”), the Corporation shall immediately notify each officer and director covered by the policy who has entered into this Agreement. Notwithstanding any Coverage Failure this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

 

(c)           In the event the Indemnitee shall receive payment from any insurance carrier or from the plaintiff in any Proceeding against such Indemnitee in respect of Indemnified Amounts after payments on account of all or part of such Indemnified Amounts have been made by the Corporation pursuant hereto, such Indemnitee shall promptly reimburse to the Corporation the amount, if any, by which the sum of such payment by such insurance carrier or such plaintiff and payments by the Corporation or pursuant to arrangements made by the Corporation to Indemnitee exceeds such Indemnified Amounts; provided, however, that such portions, if any, of such insurance proceeds that are required to be reimbursed to the insurance carrier under the terms of its insurance policy, such as deductible or co-insurance payments, shall not be deemed to be payments to the Indemnitee hereunder.  In addition, upon payment of Indemnified Amounts hereunder, the Corporation shall be subrogated to the rights of Indemnitee receiving such payments (to the extent thereof) against any insurance carrier (to the extent permitted under such insurance policies) or plaintiff in respect to such Indemnified Amounts and the Indemnitee shall execute and deliver any and all instruments and documents and perform any and all other acts or deeds which the Corporation deems necessary or advisable to secure such rights.  Such right of subrogation shall be terminated upon receipt by the Corporation of the amount to be reimbursed by the Indemnitee pursuant to the first sentence of this paragraph.

 

6.           Continuation of Indemnity.  All agreements and obligations of the Corporation contained herein shall continue during the period Indemnitee is a director of the Corporation and shall continue thereafter so long as Indemnitee shall be subject to any possible Proceeding by reason of the fact that Indemnitee was a director of the Corporation.

 

7.           Successors; Binding Agreement.  This Agreement shall be binding on and shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Corporation’s successors and assigns and by the Indemnitee’s personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, devisees, and legatees.  The Corporation shall require any successor or assignee (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation, or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Corporation, by written agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation and to the Indemnitee, expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Corporation would be required to perform if no such succession or assignment had taken place.

 

8.           Enforcement.   In the event the Indemnitee is required to bring any action to enforce rights or to collect monies due under this Agreement and is successful in such action, the Corporation shall reimburse Indemnitee for all of the Indemnitee’s fees and expenses in bringing and pursuing such action.  The Indemnitee shall be entitled to the advancement of Indemnified Amounts to the full extent contemplated by Section 3 hereof in connection with such Proceeding.

 

4

 

 

9.           Separability.  Each of the provisions of this Agreement is a separate and distinct agreement independent of the others, so that if any provision hereof shall be held to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions hereof, which other provisions shall remain in full force and effect.

 

10.          Miscellaneous.  No provision of this Agreement may be modified, waived, or discharged unless such modification, waiver, or discharge is agreed to in writing signed by Indemnitee and either the Chairman of the Board or the CEO of the Corporation or another officer of the Corporation specifically designated by the Board of Directors.  No waiver by either party at any time of any breach by the other party of, or of compliance with, any condition or provision of this Agreement to be performed by such other party shall be deemed a waiver of similar or dissimilar provisions or conditions at the same time or at any prior or subsequent time.  No agreements or representations, oral or otherwise, express or implied, with respect to the subject matter hereof have been made by either party which are not set forth expressly in this Agreement.  The validity, interpretation, construction, and performance of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Nevada, without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of laws thereof.  

 

11.           Notices.  For the purposes of this Agreement, notices and all other communications provided for in the Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when delivered or mailed by United States registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, as follows:

Grey Healthcare Group Acquires Minority Interest in OptimizeRx in the US

 

New York, NY, September 30, 2015 – WPP’s wholly-owned operating company Grey Healthcare Group (“GHG”), a leading healthcare communications services company, has acquired a minority interest in OptimizeRx Corporation (OTCQB: OPRX), a software company whose premier content-delivery platform enables pharmaceutical companies to provide on-demand patient-care services, including e-prescribing financial support (eRx) on the electronic health records (EHR) at the point of care.

 

The healthcare industry’s focus on improving health outcomes is dramatically impacting the way physicians work, as well as how pharmaceutical companies support them. Increasingly, healthcare providers are relying on EHRs for information and workflow management. Research shows healthcare providers are spending an average of 2.8 hours per day on managing their EHR[1].

 

“This shift to electronic workflow provides an opportunity for new on-demand tools to help physicians better serve their patients and meet the challenges of practicing medicine today,” said Lynn O’Connor Vos, chief executive officer of ghg. These can include identifying the most cost-effective medication or passing along coupon savings to the patient at the time of prescription. These actions increase the chance that patients will fill their prescriptions, take their medication and improve their health outcomes.

 

ghg and OptimizeRx will build an online medium that helps manufacturers and other healthcare companies offer services at the point of care, where it can be most helpful and valuable to the patient. The partnership will co-develop new platforms to deliver vital information and education to both physicians and their patients, and help expand the EHR network.

 

“Together ghg and OptimizeRx will drive the kind of big, bold ideas that will transform healthcare into a customer-service business. By connecting the fragmented EHR environment, we will deliver streamlined information to physicians and measurably improves the patient experience. Our partnership will provide innovative solutions to increase adherence to prescriptions – the major obstacle to achieving improved health outcomes,” said Vos.

 

OptimizeRx currently has a network of 350+ partner EHRs, reaching over 300,000 healthcare providers with customized prescription vouchers, co-pay savings and other support programs tailored to the specific physician and patient. With 85% of physicians now e-prescribing, and 80% of office-based physicians using EHR systems, reliance on EHRs continues to rise, driven by incentives built into the Affordable Care Act and specified by meaningful-use criteria.

“OptimizeRx and our EHR partners are excited to further develop technologies that automate information doctors have deemed valuable when treating their patients. ghg offers the ideal partnership to develop and deliver ‘better access to better healthcare,’ which is our mission.” said David A. Harrell, Chairman and CEO, OptimizeRx.
