Item 6 of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended to add the following:
Registration Rights Agreement
In connection with the Stock Purchase Agreement, on February 27, 2017 the Purchasers and certain other purchasers (together, the
Selling Stockholders
) entered into a registration rights agreement (the
Registration Rights Agreement
) with the Issuer. Pursuant to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, the Issuer has agreed to (1) file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
SEC
) a registration statement covering resales of the Issuers Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock on or before the earlier of (i) 30 days following the date the Issuer files its annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, and (ii) 90 days after the closing date of the transactions contemplated by the Stock Purchase Agreement (the
Closing Date
), and (2) use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the registration statement to be declared effective within 90 days following the date of filing. The Issuer has agreed to keep the registration statement effective, subject to certain exceptions, for up to two years after it is declared effective by the SEC.
The Issuer has agreed to pay certain penalties if the registration statement is not declared effective by the SEC within 120 days following the Closing Date, which deadline may be extended under certain limited circumstances. After that deadline and until such time as the registration statement is declared effective (or until the Issuer is no longer required to cause the registration statement to be declared effective), the Issuer will be required to pay the holders of the Preferred Stock (or the Common Stock issued upon conversion thereof) a cash penalty of 0.25% of the price at which the Preferred Stock was sold per 30-day period. Such penalty will increase each subsequent 60-day period that the registration statement has not been declared effective, up to a maximum penalty of 5.0% of the price at which the Preferred Stock was sold per 30-day period.
The Issuer has agreed to indemnify each Selling Stockholder for certain violations of federal or state securities laws in connection with any registration statement in which such Selling Stockholder sells its shares of the Issuers Common Stock pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement. Each Selling Stockholder has agreed to indemnify the Issuer and the other Selling Stockholders for federal or state securities law violations that occur in reliance upon written information it provides to the Issuer for inclusion in the registration statement filed pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement.
The foregoing description of the Registration Rights Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 7 and incorporated herein by reference.
