 8 PAGES 
     This Statement on Schedule 13D is filed with respect to 12,500,000 shares (the “Shares”) of the Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Novavax, Inc. (the “Company”) held by Satellite Overseas (Holdings) Limited (“SOHL”). SOHL is a wholly owned subsidiary (except for directors’ qualifying shares) of Cadila Pharmaceuticals Ltd (“Cadila”). Cadila and SOHL are referred to herein collectively as the “Cadila Entities.”
Item 1. Security and Issuer
     The name of the subject company is Novavax, Inc., and the address of its principal executive office is 9920 Belward Campus Drive, Rockville, Maryland 20850. The class of securities to which this Statement relates is the common stock of the Company, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”).
Item 2. Identity and Background
     (a)-(c); (f) This Statement is filed by the Cadila Entities and Dr. Rajiv I. Modi (“Dr. Modi”), who may be deemed to control the Cadila Entities. The information concerning the name, state or other place of organization, principal business, and the address of the principal office of each of the Cadila Entities, and the information concerning the name, business address, present principal occupation or employment, and the name, principal business address of any corporation or other organization in which such employment or occupation is conducted, and the citizenship of Dr. Modi and each of the executive officers and directors of the Cadila Entities is filed as Exhibit 1 hereto.
     (d); (e) During the last five years, none of the Cadila Entities or Dr. Modi, or, to their knowledge, any of the directors or executive officers of the Cadila Entities, has been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or was a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree, or final order enjoining future violation of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.
Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration
     The Shares were acquired directly from the Company pursuant to an existing shelf registration statement for an aggregate purchase price of $11,000,000. The purchase price was financed by SOHL pursuant to an intercompany loan from Cadila. Approximately $10.9 million of the funds used to make the intercompany loan was obtained by Cadila pursuant to short-term loans due in 120 days (the “Short-Term Financing”) from Corporation Bank, Ahmedabad, India (authorized loan amount: $8,898,556; disbursed loan amount: $8,898,556) and Allahabad Bank, Ahmedabad, India (authorized loan amount: $11,864,742; disbursed loan amount: $1,977,457). The Short-Term Financing is personally guaranteed by Mr. Indravadan A. Modi, Chairman and Managing Director of Cadila. The balance of the intercompany loan was obtained from internally generated funds of Cadila.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction
     SOHL acquired the Shares for investment purposes. One or more of the reporting persons filing this Schedule may determine to purchase additional shares of the Company’s Common Stock or other securities in the open market, pursuant to preemptive rights, or otherwise, depending upon price, market conditions, availability of funds, evaluation of alternative investments and other factors. One or more of the reporting persons could determine, based upon the same set of factors listed above with respect to purchases, to sell some or all of the Shares. Furthermore, SOHL may exercise its rights (or one or more of the other reporting persons may cause SOHL to exercise its rights) under the Registration Rights Agreement (as defined in Item 6, below), including the right to cause the Company after December 31, 2009 to register the Shares under the

 


 

                     
CUSIP No.

SCHEDULE 13D PAGE  
  OF   
 8 PAGES 
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), in order to facilitate the sale of any or all of the Shares without being subject to the volume or other limitations of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (“Rule 144”). In addition, the reporting persons are considering alternatives for the refinancing of the Short-Term Financing, which may include a pledge of the Shares as collateral. Except as set forth above, the Cadila Entities and Dr. Modi have no intention to effect any of the transactions specified in Item 4 of Schedule 13D.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer
     (a) SOHL is the beneficial owner of the Shares, which constitute 15.4% of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock. Dr. Modi may be deemed to control Cadila, which controls SOHL. Thus, both Dr. Modi and Cadila may be considered to have beneficial ownership of the Shares. These shares are held for convenience in the name of SOHL, Inc., as nominee for SOHL. SOHL, Inc. has no voting, dispositive or pecuniary interest in any such shares.
     (b) SOHL has both voting and investment power with respect to the Shares. However, Cadila and Dr. Modi may be deemed to control SOHL. Therefore, each of the reporting persons has voting and investment power with respect to the Shares.
     (c) Neither of the Cadila Entities or Dr. Modi or, to their knowledge, any executive officer or director of the Cadila Entities, has engaged in any transaction in any shares of the Company’s Common Stock during the sixty days immediately preceding the date hereof, except for the April 1, 2009 purchase by SOHL directly from the Company of 1,250,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at a purchase price of $0.88 per share pursuant to an existing shelf registration statement.
     (d); (e) Not applicable.
Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer
     On March 31, 2009, SOHL entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”) with the Company pursuant to which SOHL agreed to purchase 12.5 million shares of the Company’s Common Stock for a purchase price of $0.88 per share. The transaction closed on April 1, 2009. The Stock Purchase Agreement provides that, as long as SOHL owns more than 5% of the Company’s then-outstanding Common Stock, SOHL has the right to purchase a pro-rata portion of any sale of Common Stock by the Company, subject to certain exceptions. The Stock Purchase Agreement also provides that for so long as SOHL owns at least 5% of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock, SOHL has the right to designate one member of the Company’s board of directors.
     In connection with the transactions contemplated by the Stock Purchase Agreement, SOHL also entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with the Company on March 31, 2009. The Registration Rights Agreement provides that after December 31, 2009, SOHL is entitled to one demand registration right every three years. The Registration Rights Agreement also provides SOHL with piggyback registration rights. These registration rights terminate on the first date on which all of the Shares held by SOHL and its affiliates may be sold in any ninety day period without registration in compliance with Rule 144.
     Other than as set forth above, neither of the Cadila Entities or Dr. Modi or, to their knowledge, any executive officer or director of the Cadila Entities, has any other contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships with any persons with respect to the securities of the Company.

          1. Subscription.
               (a) Investor agrees to buy and the Company agrees to sell and issue to Investor 12,500,000 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), for an aggregate purchase price of $11,000,000, at a per share purchase price of $0.88 (the “Purchase Price”).

that is not described or filed as required. The Company’s form 10-K for year ended 2008 will not contain any material information that is not included in the Investor Information.
               (g) The consolidated financial statements of the Company included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and the Investor Information comply as to form with the applicable accounting requirements of the Securities Act and have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (except, with respect to the unaudited consolidated financial statements and the accompanying footnotes which are subject to customary audit adjustments) applied on a consistent basis, are consistent in all material respects with the books and records of the Company, and accurately present in all material respects the consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flow of the Company and its subsidiary as of and for the periods covered thereby. There are no other financial statements (historical or pro forma) that are required to be included in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus.
               (h) There are no material liabilities of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company of any kind whatsoever, whether accrued, contingent, absolute, determined, determinable or otherwise, and there is no existing condition, situation or set of circumstances which could reasonably be expected to result in such a liability, other than liabilities disclosed in the consolidated financial statements and financial schedules of the Company included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, and other undisclosed liabilities which, individually or in the aggregate, are not material to the Company and its subsidiary, taken as a whole.
               (i) Neither the Company nor its subsidiary has sustained, since the respective dates of the latest audited financial statements included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement and Prospectus, any material loss or interference with its business from fire, explosion, flood or other calamity, whether or not covered by insurance, or from any labor dispute or court or governmental action, order or decree, otherwise than as disclosed in or contemplated by the Registration Statement and Prospectus; and, since the respective dates as of which information is given in the Registration Statement and Prospectus, there has not been any material change in the capital stock or long-term debt of the Company or its subsidiary, the Company and its subsidiary have not incurred any material liabilities or obligations, direct or contingent, nor entered into any material transactions, except for entering into purchase orders in the ordinary course of business, and there has not been any material adverse change in or affecting the general affairs, assets, business, management, financial position or condition, stockholders’ equity or results of operations of the Company and its subsidiary considered as a whole, otherwise than as disclosed in the Registration Statement and Prospectus.
               (j) Other than as disclosed in the Prospectus, there are no legal, governmental or regulatory proceedings pending to which the Company or its subsidiary is a party or of which any material property of the Company or its subsidiary is the subject which, taking into account the likelihood of the outcome, the damages or other relief sought and other relevant factors, would individually or in the aggregate reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or adversely affect the ability of the Company to issue and sell the Shares; to the best of the Company’s knowledge, no such proceedings are threatened or contemplated by governmental or regulatory authorities or threatened by others.
               (k) The Company and its subsidiary have good and marketable title to all the real property and owns all other properties and assets, reflected as owned in the financial statements included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus

and the Investor Information, subject to no lien, mortgage, pledge, charge or encumbrance of any kind except those, if any, reflected in such financial statements or which are not material to the Company and its subsidiary taken as a whole. The Company and its subsidiary hold their respective leased real and personal properties under valid and binding leases, except where the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to individually or in the aggregate have a Material Adverse Effect.
               (l) The Company has filed all necessary federal and state income and franchise tax returns and has paid all taxes shown as due thereon or has filed all necessary extensions, and there is no tax deficiency that has been, or to the knowledge of the Company might be, asserted against the Company or any of its properties or assets that would in the aggregate or individually reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Affect.
               (m) There are no authorized options, warrants, preemptive rights, rights of first refusal or other rights to purchase, or equity or debt securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for, any capital stock of the Company or its subsidiary other than the 2008 Warrants and those accurately described in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus. There are no holders or beneficial owners of securities of the Company having rights to registration thereof whose securities have not been previously registered or who have not waived such rights with respect to the registration of the Company’s securities on the Registration Statement, except where the failure to obtain such waiver would not individually or in the aggregate reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
               (n) Other than as disclosed in the Prospectus, the Company together with its subsidiary owns and possesses all right, title and interest in and to, or, to the Company’s knowledge, has duly licensed from third parties, all patents, patent rights, trade secrets, inventions, know-how, trademarks, trade names, copyrights, service marks and other proprietary rights (“Intellectual Property”) material to the business of the Company and its subsidiary taken as a whole as currently conducted and as described in the Prospectus. To the Company’s knowledge and except as would not individually or in the aggregate have a Material Adverse Effect, there is no infringement or other violation by third parties of any of the Intellectual Property of the Company. Neither the Company nor its subsidiary has received any notice of infringement or misappropriation from any third party that has not been resolved or disposed of. Further, there is no pending or, to the Company’s knowledge and except as would not individually or in the aggregate have a Material Adverse Effect, threatened action, suit, proceeding or claim by governmental authorities or others that the Company is infringing a patent, and there is no pending or, to the Company’s knowledge and except as would not individually or in the aggregate have a Material Adverse Effect, threatened legal or administrative proceeding relating to patents and patent applications of the Company, other than proceedings initiated by the Company before the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the patent offices of certain foreign jurisdictions which are in the ordinary course of patent prosecution. To the Company’s knowledge, the patent applications of the Company presently on file disclose patentable subject matter, and the Company is not aware of any inventorship challenges, any interference which has been declared or provoked, or any other material fact that (i) would preclude the issuance of patents with respect to such applications, or (ii) would lead outside patent counsel for the Company to reasonably conclude that such patents, when issued, would not be valid and enforceable in accordance with applicable regulations.
               (o) The Company conducts its business in compliance in all respects with applicable laws, rules and regulations of governmental and regulatory bodies to which it is subject, except where the failure to be in compliance would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

               (p) All offers and sales of the Company’s capital stock prior to the date hereof were at all relevant times registered pursuant to the Securities Act or exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and were issued in compliance in all material respects with applicable state securities or blue sky laws.
               (q) The Company has filed with the Nasdaq Global Market a Notification of Listing of Additional Shares with respect to the Shares required by the rules of the Nasdaq Global Market and has not received a notice from the Nasdaq Global Market that such notification is insufficient. The offer and sale of the Shares does not require stockholder approval under Rule 4350 of the Nasdaq Stock Market Rules.
               (r) Neither the Company nor its subsidiary nor, to the best of the Company’s knowledge, any employee or agent of the Company or its subsidiary, has (i) used any corporate funds for unlawful contributions, gifts, entertainment or other unlawful expenses relating to political activity, (ii) made any unlawful payment to foreign or domestic government officials or employees or to foreign or domestic political parties or campaigns from corporate funds, (iii) violated any provision of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended, or (iv) made any other unlawful payment.
               (s) There is no broker, finder or other party that is entitled to receive from the Company any brokerage or finder’s fee or other fee or commission as a result of any transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
               (t) The Company maintains a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurances that (i) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization; (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and to maintain accountability for assets; (iii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization; and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences. Except as described in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, since the most recent audit of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, there has been (i) no material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (whether or not remediated) and (ii) no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
               (u) The Company has established, maintains and evaluates “disclosure controls and procedures” (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act), which (i) are designed to ensure that material information relating to the Company is made known to the Company’s principal executive officer and its principal financial officer by others within those entities, particularly during the periods in which the periodic reports required under the Exchange Act are being prepared, (ii) have been evaluated for effectiveness as of the end of the last fiscal period covered by the Registration Statement; and (iii) such disclosure controls and procedures are effective to perform the functions for which they were established. There are no significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or operation of internal controls which could adversely affect the Company’s ability to record, process, summarize, and report financial data to management and the board of directors of the Company. The Company is not aware of any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a role in the Company’s internal controls; and since the date of the most recent evaluation of such disclosure controls and procedures, there have been

6


 

no significant changes in internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls, including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.
               (v) The Company and, to its knowledge, all of the Company’s directors or officers, in their capacities as such, is in compliance in all material respects with all applicable effective provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and any related rules and regulations promulgated by the Commission.

               (x) The Company maintains insurance in such amounts and covering such risks as it reasonably considers to be adequate for the conduct of its business and the value of its properties and as is customary for companies engaged in similar businesses in similar industries. All such insurance is fully in force on the date hereof and will be fully in force as of the Closing Date. The Company has no reason to believe that it will not be able to renew its existing insurance coverage as and when such coverage expires or to obtain similar coverage from similar insurers as may be necessary to continue its business at a cost that would not have a Material Adverse Effect.
               (y) The Company has not sold or issued any securities that would be integrated with the offering of the Securities contemplated by this Agreement pursuant to the Securities Act, the published rules and regulations thereunder, or the interpretations thereof by the Commission.
               (z) The section entitled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates for Discontinued Operations” in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in the Investor Information accurately and fully describes (A) the accounting policies that the Company believes are the most important in the portrayal of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations and that require management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments (“Critical Accounting Policies”); and (B) the judgments and uncertainties affecting the application of Critical Accounting Policies.
               (aa) Neither the Company nor, to the Company’s knowledge, any of its officers, directors, affiliates or controlling persons has taken or will take, directly or indirectly, any action designed to cause or result in, or which has constituted or which might reasonably be expected to constitute the stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of the Company to facilitate the sale or resale of the Shares.
               (bb) No relationship, direct or indirect, exists between or among the Company on the one hand and the directors, officers, stockholders, customers or suppliers of the Company on the other hand which is required to be described in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus which has not been so described. There are no outstanding loans, advances (except

7


 

normal advances for business expenses in the ordinary course of business) or guarantees or indebtedness by the Company to, or for the benefit of, any of the current officers or directors of the Company.
               (cc) The Company has filed in a timely manner all reports required to be filed pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(e), 14 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act during the preceding 12 months (except to the extent that Section 15(d) requires reports to be filed pursuant to Sections 13(d) and 13(g) of the Exchange Act, which shall be governed by the next clause of this sentence); and the Company has filed in a timely manner all reports required to be filed pursuant to Sections 13(d) and 13(g) of the Exchange Act during the preceding 12 months, except where the failure to timely file could not reasonably be expected individually or in the aggregate to have a Material Adverse Effect.
               (dd) The Company and its subsidiary (a) are in compliance with any and all applicable foreign, federal, state and local laws, orders, rules, regulations, directives, decrees and judgments relating to the protection of human health and safety, the environment or hazardous or toxic substances or wastes, pollutants or contaminants (“Environmental Laws”), (b) have received all permits, licenses or other approvals required of them under applicable Environmental Laws to conduct their business and the same are effective and in use on the date of this Agreement and (c) are in compliance with all terms and conditions of any such permit, license or approval, except where such noncompliance with Environmental Laws, failure to receive required permits, licenses or other approvals or failure to comply with the terms and conditions of such permits, licenses or approvals would not, individually or in the aggregate, result in a Material Adverse Effect. There are no costs or liabilities associated with Environmental Laws (including, without limitation, any capital or operating expenditures required for clean-up, closure of properties or compliance with Environmental Laws or any permit, license or approval, any related constraints on operating activities and any potential liabilities to third parties) which would, individually or in the aggregate, result in a Material Adverse Effect.
               (ee) Nether the Company nor its subsidiary is engaged in any unfair labor practice; except for matters that would not, individually or in the aggregate, result in a Material Adverse Effect and (i) there is (A) no unfair labor practice complaint pending or, to the Company’s knowledge after due inquiry, threatened against the Company or its subsidiary before the National Labor Relations Board, and no grievance or arbitration proceeding arising out of or under collective bargaining agreements is pending or threatened, (B) no strike, labor dispute, slowdown or stoppage pending or, to the Company’s knowledge after due inquiry, threatened against the Company or its subsidiary and (C) no union representation dispute currently existing concerning the employees of the Company or its subsidiary, and (ii) to the Company’s knowledge (A) no union organizing activities are currently taking place concerning the employees of the Company or its subsidiary and (B) there has been no violation of any federal, state, local or foreign law relating to discrimination in the hiring, promotion or pay of employees or any applicable wage or hour laws concerning the employees of the Company or its subsidiary.
               (ff) The Company and its subsidiary are in compliance in all material respects with all applicable provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, including the regulations thereunder (“ERISA”); no “reportable event” (as defined in ERISA) has occurred with respect to any “pension plan” (as defined in ERISA) for which the Company or its subsidiary would have any liability; neither the Company nor its subsidiary has incurred and does not expect to incur liability under (i) Title IV of ERISA with respect to termination of, or withdrawal from, any “pension plan” or (ii) Sections 412 or 4971 of the

8


 

Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, including the regulations thereunder (the “Code”); and each “pension plan” for which the Company would have any liability that is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code is the subject of a favorable opinion or determination letter issued by the Internal Revenue Service and nothing has occurred, whether by action or by failure to act, which is reasonably expected to result in the revocation of such determination letter.
               (gg) Any statistical, industry-related and market-related data included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and the Investor Information, are based on or derived from sources that the Company reasonably and in good faith believes to be reliable and accurate, and such data agree with the sources from which they are derived.
               (hh) The clinical, pre-clinical and other studies and tests conducted by or on behalf of or sponsored by the Company or its subsidiary or in which the Company or its subsidiary or products or product candidates have participated that are described in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus were and, if still pending, are being conducted in accordance in all material respects with all statutes, laws, rules and regulations administered by the Food and Drug Association (“FDA”) and with standard medical and scientific research procedures. The descriptions in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and the Investor Information of the results of such studies and tests are accurate and complete in all material respects and fairly present the published data derived from such studies and tests. Neither the Company nor its subsidiary has received any notices or other correspondence from the FDA with respect to any ongoing clinical or pre-clinical studies or tests requiring the termination, suspension or material modification of such studies or tests, which such termination, suspension or material modification would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The Company and its subsidiary is in compliance with all applicable laws, regulations, orders and decrees governing its business as prescribed by the FDA except where noncompliance would not, singly or in the aggregate, result in a Material Adverse Effect.
               (ii) Other than as set forth on Schedule II attached hereto, as of the date of this Agreement, the only outstanding indebtedness of the Company consists of (i) the Convertible Notes, which, unless converted into Common Stock or amended, will be paid on or before July 19, 2009 with funds then held by the Company, and (ii) ordinary course trade payables.
               (jj) The board of directors of the Company has taken all actions necessary to be taken to pre-approve the transactions contemplated by this Agreement such that (i) the restrictions contained in Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”) applicable to a “business combination” (as defined therein), and (ii) the applicable anti-takeover provisions contained in the Company’s Shareholder Rights Plan adopted on August 7, 2002 (the “Shareholder Rights Plan”) will not apply to the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

               (b) The Investor also represents and warrants that, other than the transactions contemplated hereunder, the Investor has not directly or indirectly, nor has any person acting on behalf of or pursuant to any understanding with the Investor, executed any disposition, including “short sales” as defined in Rule 200 of Regulation SHO under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Short Sales”), in the securities of the Company during the period commencing from the time that the Investor first became aware of the proposed transactions contemplated hereunder until the date hereof (“Discussion Time”).

          5. Pre-emptive Right.
               (a) Except with respect to Exempt Issuances, for so long as Investor “beneficially owns” (as determined under Rule 13d-3 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) an aggregate number of shares of Common Stock equal to or greater than five percent (5%) of the then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock (the “Threshold Amount”), the Company hereby grants Investor the right to purchase its Pro-Rata Portion of any new Equity Securities that the Company may from time to time propose to issue or sell to any party.
               (b) Additional Issuance Notices. The Company shall give written notice (an “Issuance Notice”) of any proposed issuance or sale described in subsection (a) above to the Investor. The Issuance Notice shall, if applicable, be accompanied by a written offer from any prospective purchaser seeking to purchase Equity Securities, to the extent known to the Company at the time, and shall set forth the material terms and conditions of the proposed issuance, including, without limitation:
                    (i) the number and description of the new Equity Securities proposed to be issued and the percentage of the Company’s outstanding equity interests such issuance would represent;
                    (ii) the proposed issuance date; and
                    (iii) the proposed purchase price per share.
The Company shall provide written notice to Investor if the terms set forth in the Issuance Notice are updated or changed in any material respect (a “Material Update”) as the details listed in Sections 5(b)(i), (ii) and (iii) are known.
               (c) Exercise of Pre-emptive Rights. Investor shall, for a period of fifteen (15) business days following the initial receipt of an Issuance Notice (the “Exercise Period”), have the right to elect irrevocably to purchase up to its Pro Rata Portion of the new Equity Securities at the purchase price and on the other terms set forth in the Issuance Notice by delivering a written notice to the Company. If the Company provides a Material Update, the Exercise Period shall be extended by five calendar days from the date of receipt of the Material Update, if such extension is longer than the expiration of the Exercise Period. The closing of any purchase by Investor shall be consummated concurrently with the consummation of the issuance or sale described in the Issuance Notice; provided, however that, the closing of any purchase by Investor may be extended beyond the closing of the transaction described in the Issuance Notice to the extent necessary to obtain required government approvals and other required third party approvals or consents (and the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain such approvals and consents).
               (d) Sales to the Prospective Buyer. If Investor fails to elect to purchase all or part of its Pro Rata Portion allotment of the new Equity Securities described in the Issuance Notice within the time period described in subsection (c), the Company shall be free to complete the proposed issuance or sale of new Equity Securities described in the Issuance Notice at a price and on other terms no less favorable to the Company than those set forth in the Issuance Notice. If the Company does not enter into an agreement for the sale of such new Equity Securities within twenty (20) business days after the expiration of the time period described in subsection (c), or if such agreement is not consummated within sixty (60) days after the execution thereof, the pre-emptive right provided hereunder shall be deemed to be revived and such new

11


 

Equity Securities shall not be issued or sold unless first reoffered to the Investor in accordance with this Section 5.
          6. Board Seat. During the period of time (the “Investor Board Representation Period”) beginning on the date the Investor “beneficially owns” (as determined under Rule 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) the Threshold Amount, and ending on the date the Investor owns less than the Threshold Amount, the Investor may designate one member of the Board (the “Investor Director”), who shall also serve on such committees of the Board as designated by the Board. In connection therewith, the Company hereby agrees to create a vacancy and appoint Dr. Rajiv I. Modi (the “Representative”) as a Class I director of the Company. As a Class I director, the Representative will be subject to stockholder vote at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held in June 2011. The Company agrees to cause the Representative to be nominated and recommended for reelection for so long as the Investor beneficially owns Common Stock in excess of the Threshold Amount, and to promptly take any action as may be necessary after any stockholder meeting to effect the first sentence of this Section 6. The Investor will cause the Representative to supply any customary or required information and consents reasonably required by the Company to be included in the Company’s Proxy Statements and filings with the Commission under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act of 1934. The Company agrees that in the event it receives a request by the Investor to replace the Representative, the Company will reasonably cooperate with Investor to effect such replacement provided that the replacement individual is reasonably acceptable to the Board of Directors.
          7. Public Disclosure. The Company shall (i) before the opening of trading on the Nasdaq Global Market on the next trading day after the date hereof, issue a press release, disclosing all material aspects of the transactions contemplated hereby, to the extent permitted by applicable law, and (ii) make such other filings and notices in the manner and time required by the Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby. The Company shall not identify the Investor by name in any press release or public filing, or otherwise publicly disclose the Investor’s name, without the Investor’s prior written consent, unless required by law or the rules and regulations of any self-regulatory organization or exchange to which the Company or its securities are subject.
          8. Conditions. The obligation of the Investor to purchase and acquire the Shares hereunder shall be subject to the condition that all representations and warranties and other statements of the Company shall be true and correct as of and on each of the date of this Agreement and the date of the Closing, the condition that the Company shall have performed all of its obligations hereunder theretofore to be performed, and the following additional conditions:
               (a) The Prospectus shall have been filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act within the applicable time period prescribed for such filing, no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or any part thereof shall have been issued and no proceeding for that purpose shall have been initiated or threatened by the Commission, and the Investor shall have received the Prospectus in accordance with the federal securities laws.
               (b) Prior to the Closing Date, there shall not have occurred any change, or any development involving a prospective change, which would constitute a Material Adverse Effect, and that makes it impracticable to market the Shares on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Prospectus.

12


 

               (c) No action shall have been taken and no statute, rule, regulation or order shall have been enacted, adopted or issued by any governmental agency or body which would, as of the Closing Date, prevent the issuance or sale of the Shares or materially and adversely affect or reasonably be believed to materially and adversely affect the business or operations of the Company; and no injunction, restraining order or order of any other nature by any federal or state court of competent jurisdiction shall have been issued as of the Closing Date which would prevent the issuance or sale of the Shares or materially and adversely affect or reasonably be believed to materially and adversely affect the business or operations of the Company.

          9. Indemnification.
               (a) Indemnification of the Investor. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each of the Investors and its owners, officers, directors, managers, members, agents, advisors, successors and assigns (each, an “Indemnified Party”), against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such Indemnified Party may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise (including in settlement of any litigation if such settlement is effected with the written consent of the Company, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, including the information deemed to be a part of the Registration Statement at the time of effectiveness and at any subsequent time pursuant to Rules 430A and 430B of the Rules and Regulations promulgated under the Securities Act, if applicable, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto (including any documents filed under the Exchange Act and deemed to be incorporated by reference into the Prospectus), any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or in any materials or information provided to investors by, or with the approval of, the Company in connection with the marketing of the offering of the Common Stock (Marketing Materials), including any roadshow or investor presentations made to investors by the Company (whether in person or electronically) or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse each Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by it in connection with investigating or defending against such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; or (ii) in whole or in part upon any inaccuracy in the representations and warranties of the Company contained herein; or (iii) in whole or in part upon any failure of the Company to perform their respective obligations hereunder or under law; provided, however, that the

13


 

Company shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in the Prospectus Supplement in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Indemnified Party, specifically for use in the preparation thereof.
          In addition to their other obligations under this Section 9(a), the Company agrees that, as an interim measure during the pendency of any claim, action, investigation, inquiry or other proceeding brought or threatened against the Indemnified Party and which arises out of or based upon any statement or omission, or any alleged statement or omission, described in this Section 9(a), they will reimburse each Indemnified Party on a monthly basis for all reasonable legal fees or other expenses incurred in connection with investigating or defending any such claim, action, investigation, inquiry or other proceeding, notwithstanding the absence of a judicial determination as to the propriety and enforceability of the Company’s obligation to reimburse such Indemnified Party for such expenses and the possibility that such payments might later be held to have been improper by a court of competent jurisdiction. To the extent that any such interim reimbursement payment is so held to have been improper, each Indemnified Party that received such payment shall promptly return it to the party or parties that made such payment, together with interest, determined on the basis of the prime rate (or other commercial lending rate for borrowers of the highest credit standing) announced from time to time by The Wall Street Journal (the “Prime Rate”). Any such interim reimbursement payments which are not made to an Indemnified Party within 30 days of a request for reimbursement shall bear interest at the Prime Rate from the date of such request. This indemnity agreement shall be in addition to any liabilities which the Company may otherwise have.
               (b) Notice and Procedures. Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Party under subsection (a) above of notice of the commencement of any action, such Indemnified Party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the Company under such subsection, notify the Company in writing of the commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify the Company shall not relieve the Company from any liability that it may have to any Indemnified Party except to the extent the Company has been materially prejudiced by such failure. In case any such action shall be brought against any Indemnified Party, and it shall notify the Company of the commencement thereof, the Company shall be entitled to participate in, and, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such Indemnified Party, and after notice from the Company to such Indemnified Party of the Company’s election so to assume the defense thereof, the Company shall not be liable to such Indemnified Party under such subsection for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, that if, in the sole judgment of the Indemnified Party, it is advisable for the Indemnified Party to be represented by separate counsel, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ a single counsel to represent such Indemnified Party, in which event the reasonable fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall be borne by the Company and reimbursed to the Indemnified Party as incurred (in accordance with the provisions of the second paragraph in subsection (a) above).
          The Company under this Section 9 shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the Company agrees to indemnify each Indemnified Party against any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an Indemnified Party shall have requested the Company to reimburse such Indemnified Party for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by this Section 8, the Company agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than

14


 

30 days after receipt by the Company of the aforesaid request and (ii) the Company shall not have reimbursed the Indemnified Party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement, compromise or consent to the entry of judgment in any pending or threatened action, suit or proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is or could have been a party and indemnity was or could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless such settlement, compromise or consent (a) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such action, suit or proceeding and (b) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Party.
               (c) Contribution; Limitation on Liability. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 9 is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an Indemnified Party under subsection (a) above, then the Company shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in subsection (a) above, (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Indemnified Party on the other from the offering of the Shares or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Indemnified Party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or the Indemnified Party and the parties’ relevant intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. The Company and the Indemnified Party agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this Section 9(c) were to be determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the first sentence of this Section 9(c). The amount paid by an Indemnified Party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in the first sentence of this Section 9(c) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending against any action or claim which is the subject of this Section 9(c). Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 9(c), no Indemnified Party shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount received by it (net of expenses) from the public sale of Shares purchased by it pursuant to this Agreement. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
               (d) Non-Exclusive Remedies. The obligations of the Company under this Section 9 shall be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each person, if any, who controls any Indemnified Party within the meaning of the Securities Act. Each Indemnified Party shall also have all rights and remedies available to it under the law and in equity, in addition to the rights and benefits of this Section 9.

15

          To induce the Investor to execute and deliver the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company has agreed to provide certain registration rights under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws.
          NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company and the Investor hereby agree as follows:
          1. Definitions. As used in this Agreement, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

          2. Registration Rights
               (a) Demand Registration Rights.
                    (i) If the Company shall receive, at any time after December 31, 2009, a written demand from the Investor that the Company file a registration statement under the Securities Act, then the Company shall:
                         (1) as soon as practicable, but in any event within sixty (60) days of the receipt of such request, file a registration statement under the Securities Act covering all of the Shares which the Investor requests to be registered; and
                         (2) use its best efforts to cause such registration statement to be declared effective by the SEC as soon as practicable.
                    (ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company shall furnish to the Investor requesting a registration statement pursuant to this Section 2(a) a certificate signed by the Chief Executive Officer of the Company stating that in the good faith judgment of the board of directors of the Company it would be materially detrimental to the Company and its stockholders for such registration statement to become effective or to remain effective as long as such registration statement would otherwise 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, the Company shall have the right to defer taking action with respect to such filing for a period of not more than forty-five (45) days after receipt of the request of the Investor; provided, however, that the Company may not utilize this right more than twice in any twelve-month period and provided further that the Company shall not register any securities for the account of itself or any other stockholder during any such forty-five (45) day period other than a registration statement relating either to the sale of securities to employees of the Company pursuant to a stock option, stock purchase or similar plan or an SEC Rule 145 transaction, 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 Shares, or a registration in which the only Common Stock being registered is Common Stock issuable upon conversion of debt securities that are also being registered.
                    (iii) All expenses incurred in connection with a registration requested pursuant to this Section 2(a) shall be paid as set forth in Section 2(f) hereof.
                    (iv) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2(a) to the contrary, the Company shall only be required to consummate one (1) offering pursuant to this Section 2(a) during any three (3) year period. A registration statement shall not be counted until such time as such registration statement has been declared effective by the SEC (unless the Investor withdraws its request for such registration (other than as a result of information

2

                    (v) If the Investor intends to distribute the Shares covered by its request by means of an underwriting, the Investor shall so advise the Company as part of its request.
               (b) Piggyback Registration.
                    (i) 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 stock or other securities under the Securities Act in connection with the public offering of such securities solely for cash (other than a registration statement relating either to the sale of securities to employees of the Company pursuant to a stock option, stock purchase or similar plan or an SEC Rule 145 transaction, a registration on any form which does not include substantially the same information as would be required to be included in a registration statement covering the sale of the Shares or a registration in which the only Common Stock being registered is Common Stock issuable upon conversion of debt securities which are also being registered) (a “Piggyback Registration”), the Company shall, at such time, promptly give the Investor written notice of such registration. Upon the written request of the Investor given within twenty (20) days after mailing of such notice by the Company, the Company shall, subject to the provisions of Section 2(e), cause to be registered under the Securities Act all of the Shares that the Investor has requested to be included in such Piggyback Registration. The Company shall pay the expenses of any such Piggyback Registration as set forth in Section 2(g) hereof. The Company shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under this Section 2(b) prior to the effectiveness of such registration whether or not the Investor has elected to include Shares in such registration. The expenses of such withdrawn registration shall be borne by the Company.
                    (ii) In the event that the Investor elects to participate in a Piggyback Registration that is effected by the Company for a stockholder of the Company other than the Investor, the Investor agrees to consider in good faith waiving its rights to participate in such Piggyback Registration if the Company informs the Investor of its good faith opinion that the inclusion of the Shares in such offering would be detrimental to the offering.
               (c) Obligations of the Company. Whenever required under this Section 2 to effect the registration of any of the Shares, the Company shall, as expeditiously as reasonably possible:
                    (i) prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement with respect to such Shares and use its reasonable best efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective, and, upon the request of the Investor, keep such registration statement effective for a period of up to one hundred twenty (120) days or, if earlier, until the distribution contemplated in the registration statement has been completed; provided, however, that (i) such 120-day period shall be extended for a period of time equal to the period the Investor refrains from selling any securities included in such registration at the request of an underwriter of

3


 

Common Stock (or other securities) of the Company and (ii) in the case of any registration of the Shares on Form S-3 which are intended to be offered on a continuous or delayed basis, subject to compliance with applicable SEC rules, such 120-day period shall be extended, if necessary, to keep the registration statement effective until all such Shares are sold;
                    (ii) 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;
                    (iii) furnish to the Investor (a) a draft copy of the registration statement and (b) such numbers of copies of a prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents as the Investor may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of Shares owned by it;
                    (iv) use its reasonable best efforts to register and qualify the securities covered by such registration statement under such other securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as shall be reasonably requested by the Investor; provided 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;
                    (v) 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;
                    (vi) provide a transfer agent and registrar for all Shares registered pursuant hereunder and a CUSIP number for all such Shares, in each case not later than the effective date of such registration;
                    (vii) 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;
                    (viii) 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.
                    (ix) notify the Investor, at any time when a prospectus relating such registration statement is required to be delivered under the Act, of (i) the issuance of any stop order by the SEC in respect of such registration statement, or (ii) 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;

4


 

                    (x) to the extent not already listed, cause all Shares registered hereunder to be listed on each securities exchange on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed; and
                    (xi) use its reasonable best efforts to furnish, at the request of the Investor, on the date that Shares are delivered to the underwriters for sale in connection with an underwritten registration pursuant to Section 2(b), if such securities are being sold through underwriters, or, if such securities are not being sold through underwriters, on the date that the registration statement with respect to such Shares becomes effective, (i) an opinion, dated as of such date, of the counsel representing the Company for the purposes of such registration, in form and substance as is customarily given to underwriters in an underwritten public offering and reasonably satisfactory to the Investor, addressed to the underwriters and to the Investor, and (ii) a “comfort” letter dated as of such date from the independent certified public accountants of the Company, in form and substance as is customarily given by independent certified public accountants to underwriters in an underwritten public offering and reasonably satisfactory to the Investor, addressed to the Investor, provided, however, that such “comfort” letter shall be at the Investor’s own expense.
               (d) 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 Shares that the Investor shall furnish to the Company such information regarding itself, the Shares held by it, and the intended method of disposition of such securities as shall be reasonably required to effect the registration of the Shares.
               (e) Underwriting Requirements. In connection with any offering involving an underwriting of shares of the Company’s capital stock pursuant to Section 2(b), the Company shall not be required to include any of the Shares in such underwriting unless the Investor accepts the terms of the underwriting as agreed upon between the Company and its underwriters. If the total number of securities, including the Shares, requested by stockholders to be included in such offering exceeds the amount of securities to be sold, other than by the Company, that the underwriters determine in their reasonable 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 the Shares, which the underwriters determine in their sole discretion will not jeopardize the success of the offering , except that no securities held by the Investor shall be excluded until all securities held by all other Persons other than the Company have been excluded.
               (f) Expenses of Demand Registration. All expenses, other than taxes, underwriting discounts and commissions, incurred in connection with registrations, filings or qualifications pursuant to Section 2(a), including (without limitation) all registration, filing and qualification fees (including “blue sky” fees), printers’ and accounting fees, fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company and the reasonable fees and disbursements of one counsel for the Investor shall be borne equally by the Company and the Investor; provided, however, that the Investor shall not be required to pay any such expenses in excess of $20,000 per each registration requested pursuant to Section 2(a); provided further, that the Company shall not be required to pay for any expenses of any registration proceeding begun pursuant to Section 2(a) if the registration request is subsequently withdrawn at the request of the Investor; and

5


 

provided further, however, that if at the time of such withdrawal, the Investor has learned of information concerning the business or financial condition or prospects of the Company not known to the Investor at the time of its request and has 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 retain its rights pursuant to Section 2(a).
               (g) Expenses of Piggyback Registration. The Company shall bear and pay all expenses incurred in connection with any registration, filing or qualification of Shares with respect to the registrations pursuant to Section 2(b) hereof for the Investor, including (without limitation) all registration, filing, and qualification fees (including “blue sky” fees), printers and accounting fees relating or apportionable thereto and the fees and disbursements, of counsel for the Investor as selected by it, but excluding taxes, underwriting discounts and commissions relating to Shares.
               (h) Indemnification. In the event any Shares are included in a registration statement under this Section 2:
                    (i) 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 (as defined below), and the Company will pay to the Investor, underwriter, controlling Person, or other aforementioned Person any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them 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 Section 2(h)(i) 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.
                    (ii) 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, and any underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act), 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 by them 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 Section 2(h)(ii) 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 the Investor by way of indemnity or contribution under Sections 2(h)(ii) and 2(h)(iv) exceed the proceeds from the offering received by the Investor (net of any underwriting discounts and commissions paid by the Investor), except in the case of fraud or willful misconduct by the Investor.
                    (iii) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 2(h) 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 Section 2(h), 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. The failure to give notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the indemnified party under this Section 2(h), to the extent that such failure materially prejudices the indemnifying party’s ability to defend such action. The failure to give 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 2(h).
                    (iv) In order 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 Section 2(h) 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 Section 2(h) 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 Section 2(h), 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 be required to contribute any amount in excess of the public offering price of all such Shares 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

7


 

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 Section 2(h)(iv), when combined with the amounts paid or payable by the Investor pursuant to Section 2(h)(ii), exceed the proceeds from the offering received by the Investor (net of any underwriting discounts and selling commissions paid by the Investor), except in the case of willful misconduct or fraud by the Investor.
                    (v) 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 Section 2(h) shall survive the completion of any offering of Shares in a registration statement under this Section 2, and otherwise and shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
                    (vi) As used in this Section 2, “Damages” means any loss, damage, or liability (joint or several) to which a Person may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or other federal or state law, insofar as such loss, damage, or liability (or any action in respect thereof) arises out of or is based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any registration statement of the Company, including any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or any amendments or supplements thereto; (ii) an omission or alleged 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 or alleged violation by the indemnifying party (or any of its agents or Affiliates) of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any state securities law, or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or any state securities law.
               (i) Reports Under Exchange Act. With a view to making available to the Investor the benefits of SEC Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act 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 agrees to:
                    (i) make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in SEC Rule 144, at all times after the effective date of the first registration statement filed by the Company for the offering of its securities to the general public so long as the Company is subject to the periodic reporting requirements under Sections 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act;
                    (ii) 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

               (k) “Lockup” Agreement.

               (l) Limitation on Subsequent Registration Rights. From and after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the Investor, enter into any agreement with any holder or prospective holder of any securities of the Company that would allow such holder or prospective holder to include such securities in any registration filed under Section 2(b), unless under the terms of such agreement, such holder or prospective holder may include such securities in any such registration only to the extent that the inclusion of such securities will not reduce the number of Shares held by the Investor that are included.
               (m) Termination of Registration Rights. The rights set forth in this Article 2 shall terminate on the first date on which all Shares held by the Investor and its Affiliates may be sold in any ninety (90) day period without registration in compliance with SEC Rule 144.
