Other Events. |
This filing relates to the previously announced Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated as of February 17, 2021, by and among Osprey Technology Acquisition Corp. (“Osprey”), Osprey Technology Merger Sub, Inc. and BlackSky Holdings, Inc. (“BlackSky”) and related transactions (the “Business Combination”).
On September 1, 2021, Osprey and BlackSky announced that BlackSky and Palantir Technologies Inc. (“Palantir”) entered into a multi-year $16,000,000 strategic partnership. As part of the partnership, Palantir will invest $8,000,000 in the combined company at $10.00 per share for the purchase of 800,000 shares of Osprey Class A common stock (the “Palantir Shares”) pursuant to a subscription agreement (the “Subscription Agreement”) that will close two business days subsequent to the closing of the Business Combination (the “Subscription Closing”).
Subscription Agreement
The Subscription Agreement contains substantially the same terms as the subscription agreements previously disclosed in the February 22, 2021 Current Report on Form 8-K and which Osprey previously entered into with certain third-party investors and certain inside investors.
The Subscription Agreement provides for certain registration rights for Palantir. In particular, Osprey is required to, no later than 45 calendar days following the closing date of the Business Combination, submit to or file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a registration statement registering the resale of the Palantir Shares (the “Palantir Resale Registration Statement”). Osprey is also required to use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the Palantir Resale Registration Statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof, but no later than the earlier of (a) the 90th calendar day following the filing date thereof if the SEC notifies Osprey that it will “review” the Palantir Resale Registration Statement and (b) the 10th business day after the date Osprey is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the SEC that the Palantir Resale Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review. Osprey must use commercially reasonable efforts to keep the registration statement effective until the earliest of: (i) the date Palantir no longer hold any shares, (ii) the date all registrable shares held by Palantir may be sold without restriction under Rule 144 and (iii) two years from the date of effectiveness of the Palantir Resale Registration Statement.
The Subscription Agreement will terminate upon the earliest to occur of (a) the termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms, (b) the mutual written agreement of Palantir and Osprey, and (c) 11:59 PM Pacific Time on September 21, 2021 if the Subscription Closing has not occurred on or before such date.
A copy of the press release issued on September 1, 2021 in connection with the Palantir transactions is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated into this Item 8.01 by reference. The foregoing description of the Subscription Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Subscription Agreement, the form of which is included as Exhibit 99.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and incorporated herein by reference.
Palantir Master Subscription Agreement
On August 31, 2021, BlackSky and Palantir also entered into a software subscription agreement (the “Palantir Master Subscription Agreement”) which grants BlackSky access to Palantir Foundry, an enterprise platform run by Palantir. BlackSky will offer a combined solution that integrates Spectra AI with Palantir Foundry to expand the delivery of high-resolution imagery and deep analytics to customers worldwide. The capabilities of the combined solution were successfully demonstrated in a series of exercises with experienced geospatial intelligence customers earlier this year. Pursuant to the terms of the Palantir Master Subscription Agreement, in exchange for receipt of the Palantir products, BlackSky is required to pay fees to Palantir for an aggregate payment of $8,000,000.

BlackSky Secures Investment from Palantir and Enters into Multi-Year Strategic Partnership
Following Successful Pilot Project
Collaboration to Expand Delivery of High-Resolution Imagery and Deep Analytics
HERNDON, Va. September 1, 2021 BlackSky Holdings, Inc. (BlackSky), a leading technology platform providing real-time geospatial intelligence and global monitoring, announced today that Palantir Technologies Inc. (NYSE: PLTR) has committed to making an equity investment in BlackSky, which is scheduled to close after the completion of BlackSkys business combination with Osprey Technology Acquisition Corp (Osprey). Following the successful completion of a joint pilot program between BlackSky and Palantir, this investment signifies the strengthening of a strategic collaboration that will enable BlackSky to further extend its capabilities and meet the increasing demand for global monitoring services from its and Palantirs customers.
Figure 1 BlackSky Imagery Integrated into Palantir Foundry
Through the pilot project, BlackSky automatically delivered insights and intelligence to Palantir customers within minutes of collection, without any human interaction. The ability to quickly deliver worldwide intelligence that can inform proactive strategic decision-making introduces a significant advantage in time-sensitive operations.
This collaboration further enables BlackSky to put the power of real-time intelligence in the hands of the user by allowing Palantir customers to directly task our satellites, reduce decision-making timelines and increase the delivery of on-demand insights, said Brian E. OToole, CEO of BlackSky. Our partnership with Palantir will accelerate our go-to-market plan, expanding our pipeline of commercial and government customers around the world.
To extend the benefits demonstrated by the pilot project, BlackSky also has entered into a multi-year software subscription agreement with Palantir to access Palantir Foundry, an enterprise platform run by Palantir. BlackSky will offer a combined solution that integrates Spectra AI with Palantir Foundry to expand the delivery of high-resolution imagery and deep analytics to customers worldwide. The capabilities of the combined solution were successfully demonstrated in a series of exercises with experienced geospatial intelligence customers earlier this year.
Through the collective capabilities of BlackSky and Palantir, this collaboration increases access to time-sensitive global intelligence that can aid in predicting events. BlackSky will leverage this alliance to meet the unprecedented demand for real-time actionable intelligence.
BlackSky is a strong partner to Palantir and reinforces our shared goals around compressing decision-chains for operational users at the edge, said Shyam Sankar, COO of Palantir Technologies. Through the licensing agreement, customers will gain tailored insights from increasingly sophisticated orbital sensors and AI, integrated into their decision-making operating system. This partnership directly connects space sensors to action, accelerating operations across domains, from space to mud.
Earlier this year, BlackSky announced a planned business combination with Osprey Technology Acquisition Corp. (NYSE: SFTW). Osprey will hold the special meeting of stockholders on September 8, 2021 at 10:00 a.m. ET to, among other things, allow its stockholders to vote to approve the proposed business combination with BlackSky.

For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 3(i) shall not apply to any document entered into in connection with the purchase of Class A Shares by certain other investors that are existing directors or officers of, or otherwise affiliated or associated with or identified by, the Issuer or Target, with an aggregate purchase price of $23,000,000 (Insider PIPE Investment); provided, however, that such Insider PIPE Investment shall be (i) with respect to the same class of common stock being acquired by Subscriber hereunder and at the same Per Share Purchase Price and with other economic terms that are substantially identical to those reflected herein (other than registration rights), and (ii) subject to a separate registration rights agreement which provides for registration of the Insider PIPE Investment within substantially the same time frame as hereunder and does not restrict Subscribers registration rights hereunder.
(j) As of their respective filing dates, all reports required to be filed by the Issuer with the Commission since November 5, 2019 (the SEC Reports) complied in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), and the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder. As of the date hereof, there are no material outstanding or unresolved comments in comment letters received by the Issuer from the staff of the Division of Corporation Finance of the Commission with respect to any of the SEC Reports.
(k) As of the date hereof, the issued and outstanding Class A Shares of the Issuer are registered pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act and are listed for trading on the NYSE. There is no suit, action, claim, proceeding or investigation pending or, to the knowledge of the Issuer, threatened against the Issuer by the NYSE or the Commission with respect to any intention by such entity to deregister the Class A Shares or to prohibit or terminate the listing of the Class A Shares on the NYSE, excluding, for the purposes of clarity, the customary ongoing review by NYSE in connection with the Transactions. The Issuer has taken no action that is designed to terminate the registration of the Class A Shares under the Exchange Act prior to the Subscription Closing.

(l) As of the date hereof, Issuer has not received any written communication from a governmental authority that alleges that Issuer is not in compliance with or is in default or violation of any applicable law, except where such non-compliance, default or violation would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.
(m) The Issuer acknowledges and agrees that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Acquired Shares may be pledged by Subscriber in connection with a bona fide margin agreement, which shall not be deemed to be a transfer, sale or assignment of the Acquired Shares hereunder, and Subscriber effecting a pledge of Acquired Shares shall not be required to provide the Issuer with any notice thereof or otherwise make any delivery to the Issuer pursuant to this Subscription Agreement. The Issuer hereby agrees to execute and deliver such documentation as a pledgee of the Acquired Shares may reasonably request in connection with a pledge of the Acquired Shares to such pledgee by Subscriber.
(n) There are no securities or instruments issued by or to which the Issuer is a party containing anti-dilution or similar provisions that will be triggered by the issuance of (i) the Acquired Shares or (ii) the Class A Shares to be issued pursuant to any Other Subscription Agreement, in each case, that have not been or will not be validly waived on or prior to the Closing Date.

5. Registration Rights.
(a) The Issuer agrees that, within forty-five (45) calendar days after the date of the consummation of the Transactions (the Filing Date), the Issuer will submit or file with the Commission (at the Issuers sole cost and expense) a registration statement (the Registration Statement) registering the resale of the Acquired Shares which are eligible for registration (determined as of two (2) business days prior to such submission or filing) (the Registrable Shares), and the Issuer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof, but no later than the earlier of (i) the 90th calendar day following the Filing Date if the Commission notifies the Issuer that it will review the Registration Statement) and (ii) the 10th business day after the date the Issuer is notified (orally or in writing,
7
whichever is earlier) by the Commission that the Registration Statement will not be reviewed or will not be subject to further review (such earlier date, the Effectiveness Date); provided, however, that the Issuers obligations to include the Acquired Shares in the Registration Statement are contingent upon Subscriber furnishing in writing to the Issuer such information regarding Subscriber, the securities of the Issuer held by Subscriber and the intended method of disposition of the Acquired Shares as shall be reasonably requested by the Issuer to effect the registration of the Acquired Shares, and Subscriber shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as the Issuer may reasonably request that are customary of a selling stockholder in similar situations, including providing that the Issuer shall be entitled to postpone and suspend the effectiveness or use of the Registration Statement during any customary blackout or similar period or as permitted hereunder; provided that Subscriber shall not in connection with the foregoing be required to execute any lock-up or similar agreement or otherwise be subject to any contractual restriction on the ability to transfer the Acquired Shares. Any failure by the Issuer to file the Registration Statement by the Filing Date or to effect such Registration Statement by the Effectiveness Date shall not otherwise relieve the Issuer of its obligations to file or effect the Registration Statement as set forth above in this Section 5.
(b) At its expense the Issuer shall:
(i) except for such times as the Issuer is permitted hereunder to suspend the use of the prospectus forming part of a Registration Statement, use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep such registration, and any qualification, exemption or compliance under state securities laws which the Issuer determines to obtain, continuously effective with respect to Subscriber, and to keep the applicable Registration Statement or any subsequent shelf registration statement free of any material misstatements or omissions, until the earlier of the following: (i) Subscriber ceases to hold any Acquired Shares, (ii) the date all Acquired Shares held by Subscriber may be sold without restriction under Rule 144, including without limitation, any volume and manner of sale restrictions which may be applicable to affiliates under Rule 144 and without the requirement for the Issuer to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144(c)(1) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable), and (iii) two years from the Effectiveness Date of the Registration Statement. The period of time during which the Issuer is required hereunder to keep a Registration Statement effective is referred to herein as the Registration Period;
(ii) advise Subscriber within five (5) business days:
(A) |
when a Registration Statement or any amendment thereto has been filed with the Commission and when such Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto has become effective; |
(B) |
of any request by the Commission for amendments or supplements to any Registration Statement or the prospectus included therein or for additional information; |
(C) |
of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for such purpose; |
(D) |
of the receipt by the Issuer of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Acquired Shares included therein for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; and |
(E) |
subject to the provisions in this Subscription Agreement, of the occurrence of any event that requires the making of any changes in any Registration Statement or prospectus so that, as of such date, the statements therein are not misleading and do not omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading. |
8
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Issuer shall not, when so advising Subscriber of such events, provide Subscriber with any material, nonpublic information regarding the Issuer other than to the extent that providing notice to Subscriber of the occurrence of the events listed in (A) through (E) above constitutes material, nonpublic information regarding the Issuer;
(iii) use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement as soon as reasonably practicable;
(iv) upon the occurrence of any event contemplated in Section 5(b)(ii)(E) above, except for such times as the Issuer is permitted hereunder to suspend, and has suspended, the use of a prospectus forming part of a Registration Statement, the Issuer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to as soon as reasonably practicable prepare a post-effective amendment to such Registration Statement or a supplement to the related prospectus, or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to purchasers of the Acquired Shares included therein, such prospectus will not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;
(v) use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause all Acquired Shares to be listed on each securities exchange or market, if any, on which the Class A Shares issued by the Issuer have been listed; and
(vi) use its commercially reasonable efforts to take all other steps necessary to effect the registration of the Acquired Shares required hereby.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Subscription Agreement, the Issuer shall be entitled to delay or postpone the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, and from time to time to require Subscriber not to sell under the Registration Statement or to suspend the effectiveness thereof, if the negotiation or consummation of a transaction by the Issuer or its subsidiaries is pending or an event has occurred, which negotiation, consummation or event the Issuers board of directors reasonably believes, upon the advice of legal counsel, would require additional disclosure by the Issuer in the Registration Statement of material information that the Issuer has a bona fide business purpose for keeping confidential and the non-disclosure of which in the Registration Statement would be expected, in the reasonable determination of the Issuers board of directors, upon the advice of legal counsel, to cause the Registration Statement to fail to comply with applicable disclosure requirements (each such circumstance, a Suspension Event); provided, however, that the Issuer may not delay or suspend the Registration Statement on more than three occasions or for more than ninety (90) consecutive calendar days, or more than one hundred and twenty (120) total calendar days, in each case during any twelve-month period. Upon receipt of any written notice from the Issuer of the happening of any Suspension Event during the period that the Registration Statement is effective or if as a result of a Suspension Event the Registration Statement or related prospectus contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in light of the circumstances under which they were made, in the case of the prospectus) not misleading, Subscriber agrees that (i) it will immediately discontinue offers and sales of the Acquired Shares under the Registration Statement (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, sales conducted pursuant to Rule 144) until Subscriber receives copies of a supplemental or amended prospectus (which the Issuer agrees to promptly prepare) that corrects the misstatement(s) or omission(s) referred to above and receives notice that any post-effective amendment has become effective or unless otherwise notified by the Issuer that it may resume such offers and sales, and (ii) it will maintain the confidentiality of any information included in such written notice delivered by the Issuer unless otherwise required by law or subpoena. If so directed by the Issuer, Subscriber will deliver to the Issuer or, in Subscribers sole discretion destroy, all copies of the prospectus covering the Acquired Shares in Subscribers possession; provided, however, that this obligation to deliver or destroy all copies of the prospectus covering the Acquired Shares shall not apply (i) to the extent Subscriber is required to retain a copy of such prospectus (a) in order to comply with applicable legal, regulatory, self-regulatory or professional requirements or (b) in accordance with a bona fide pre-existing document retention policy or (ii) to copies stored electronically on archival servers as a result of automatic data back-up.
9
(d) Indemnification.
(i) The Issuer agrees to indemnify, to the extent permitted by law, Subscriber (to the extent a seller under the Registration Statement), its directors and officers, partners, managers, members, stockholders and each person who controls Subscriber (within the meaning of the Securities Act), to the extent permitted by law, against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and reasonable and documented out of pocket expenses (including without limitation reasonable and documented attorneys fees of one law firm) caused by any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any Registration Statement, prospectus included in any Registration Statement (Prospectus) or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a Prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, except insofar as the same are caused by or contained in any information furnished in writing to the Issuer by or on behalf of such Subscriber expressly for use therein.
(ii) In connection with any Registration Statement in which a Subscriber is participating, such Subscriber shall furnish to the Issuer in writing such information and affidavits as the Issuer reasonably requests for use in connection with any such Registration Statement or Prospectus and, to the extent permitted by law, shall indemnify the Issuer, its directors and officers and each person who controls the Issuer (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and reasonable and documented out of pocket expenses (including without limitation reasonable and documented attorneys fees of one law firm) resulting from any untrue statement of material fact contained in the Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a Prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing by such Subscriber expressly for use therein; provided, however, that the liability of each such Subscriber shall be several and not joint and shall be in proportion to and limited to the net proceeds received by such Subscriber from the sale of Acquired Shares giving rise to such indemnification obligation.
(iii) Any person entitled to indemnification herein shall (1) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided that the failure to give prompt notice shall not impair any persons right to indemnification hereunder to the extent such failure has not prejudiced the indemnifying party) and (2) permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party shall not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). An indemnifying party who elects not to assume the defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of legal counsel to any indemnified party a conflict of interest exists between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the indemnified party, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which cannot be settled in all respects by the payment of money (and such money is so paid by the indemnifying party pursuant to the terms of such settlement) or which settlement includes a statement or admission of fault and culpability on the part of such indemnified party or which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.
10
(iv) The indemnification provided for under this Subscription Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director or controlling person of such indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of securities.
(v) If the indemnification provided under this Section 5(d) from the indemnifying party is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to herein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying the indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided, however, that the liability of Subscriber shall be limited to the net proceeds received by such Subscriber from the sale of Registrable Shares giving rise to such indemnification obligation. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, was made by, or relates to information supplied by, such indemnifying party or indemnified party, and the indemnifying partys and indemnified partys relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses or other liabilities referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 5(d)(i), (ii) and (iii) above, any legal or other fees, charges or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution pursuant to this Section 5(d)(v) from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
6. Termination. This Subscription Agreement shall terminate and be void and of no further force and effect, and all rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall terminate without any further liability on the part of any party in respect thereof, upon the earliest to occur of (a) such date and time as the Merger Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, (b) upon the mutual written agreement of each of the parties hereto and the Target to terminate this Subscription Agreement, (c) 11:59 PM Pacific Time on September 21, 2021 if the Subscription Closing has not occurred on or before such date; provided, that nothing herein will relieve any party from liability for any willful material breach hereof (including for the avoidance of doubt the Issuers or Subscribers willful breach of Section 2(b)(i)(x) or Section 2(b)(i)(y) of this Subscription Agreement, as applicable, with respect to its respective representations and warranties as of the Subscription Closing) prior to the time of termination, and each party will be entitled to any remedies at law or in equity to recover losses, liabilities or damages arising from such willful breach. The Issuer shall promptly notify Subscriber in writing of the termination of the Merger Agreement (other than such termination as a result of the closing thereunder). Upon the termination of this Subscription Agreement in accordance with this Section 6, any monies paid by Subscriber to the Issuer in connection herewith shall be promptly (and in any event within two (2) business days after such termination) returned to Subscriber without any deduction or set-off.
7. Trust Account Waiver. Subscriber acknowledges that the Issuer is a blank check company with the powers and privileges to effect a merger, asset acquisition, reorganization or similar business combination involving the Issuer and one or more businesses or assets. Subscriber further acknowledges that, as described in the Issuers prospectus relating to its initial public offering dated October 31, 2019 (the Prospectus), substantially all of the Issuers assets consist of the cash proceeds of the Issuers initial public offering and private placements of its securities, and substantially all of those proceeds have been deposited in a trust account (the Trust Account) for the benefit of the Issuer, its public stockholders and the underwriters of its initial public offering. Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to the Issuer to pay its tax obligations, if any, the cash in the Trust Account may be disbursed only for the purposes set forth in the Prospectus. For and in consideration of the Issuer entering into this Subscription Agreement, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Subscriber, on behalf of itself and its affiliates and representatives, hereby irrevocably waives any and all right, title and interest, or any claim of any kind they have or may have in the future
11
as a result of, or arising out of, this Subscription Agreement, in or to any monies held in the Trust Account, and agrees not to seek recourse or make or bring any action, suit, claim or other proceeding against the Trust Account as a result of, or arising out of, this Subscription Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or the Acquired Shares, regardless of whether such claim arises based on contract, tort, equity or any other theory of legal liability. Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that it shall not have any redemption rights with respect to the Acquired Shares pursuant to the Issuers certificate of incorporation in connection with the Transactions or any other business combination, any subsequent liquidation of the Trust Account or the Issuer or otherwise. In the event Subscriber has any claim against the Issuer as a result of, or arising out of, this Subscription Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or the Acquired Shares, it shall pursue such claim solely against the Issuer and its assets outside the Trust Account and not against the Trust Account or any monies or other assets in the Trust Account; provided, that nothing in this Section 7 shall be deemed to limit Subscribers right, title, interest or claim to the Trust Account by virtue of Subscribers record or beneficial ownership of Class A Shares acquired by any means other than pursuant to this Subscription Agreement.
8. Issuers Covenants. At the request of the holder of the Acquired Shares, the Issuer shall reasonably cooperate with the holder of the Acquired Shares, and the holder of the Acquired Shares shall provide the Issuer with such certifications and other documentation, to effect the removal of the legend described in Section 4(e), and for the Issuer to issue a certificate without such legend to the holder of the Acquired Shares upon which it is stamped or issue to such holder by electronic delivery at the applicable balance account at The Depository Trust Company (DTC), if (i) such Acquired Shares are sold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, (ii) in connection with a sale, assignment or other transfer, such holder provides the Issuer with an opinion of counsel, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Issuer, to the effect that such sale, assignment or transfer of the Acquired Shares may be made without registration under the applicable requirements of the Securities Act, or (iii) the Acquired Shares are sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to Rule 144.
