FORM OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT
 
REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT
 
THIS REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made as of May   , 2014 by and among Quinpario Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and the Persons listed on the signature pages hereto as “Investors” and any Persons identified on the signature page of an joinder agreements executed and delivered pursuant to Section 9 and Section 10 hereof (each, including the Investors, a “Holder” and, collectively, the “Holders”).  Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein are defined in Section 13 hereof.
 
R E C I T A L S:
 
WHEREAS, in connection with that certain Backstop and Subscription Agreement by and among the Company and the Investors, dated May     , 2014 (the “Subscription Agreement”), and the offerings contemplated thereby (the “PIPE Transactions”), the Company has agreed, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Subscription Agreement, to issue and sell to certain Investors up to an aggregate of 45,000 shares of the Company’s 8.0% Series A Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock (“Preferred Shares”) and to issue and sell to certain Investors up to an aggregate of 1,706,485 shares of the Company’s Common Stock (“Common Stock”);
 
WHEREAS, in accordance with the terms of the Subscription Agreement, the Company has agreed to provide the Holders with certain registration rights;
 
 
 

 
 
NOW, THEREFORE, in accordance with the terms of the Subscription Agreement, and 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 each of the Holders hereby agree as follows:
 
Section 1.  Shelf Registration.
 
(a)  Filing.  The Company shall, as soon as commercially reasonable, but in any event not later than 30 days after the Closing Date (as defined below) (such date, the “Filing Deadline”), file a registration statement on any permitted form that qualifies, and is available for, the resale of Registrable Securities, with the Commission in accordance with and pursuant to Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act (or any successor rule then in effect) (the “Shelf”).  The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Shelf to become effective as promptly thereafter as practicable, but in any event not later than 90 days after the Filing Deadline if the Company receives comments to the Shelf from the Commission (“SEC Comments”) or 20 days after the Filing Deadline if the Company does not receive SEC Comments (such date, the “Effectiveness Deadline”).  Such Shelf shall include a plan of distribution as is reasonable and customary and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (the “Plan of Distribution”), as may be amended in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.  The Company shall give written notice of the expected filing of the Shelf (the “Registration Notice”) at least fifteen Business Days prior to the filing thereof to each Holder and the Company shall include in the Shelf all Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion therein at least five Business Days prior to the date of filing indicated in the Registration Notice; provided, however, that, in order to be named as a selling securityholder in the Shelf, each Holder must furnish to the Company a duly completed questionnaire in the form attached to this Agreement as Exhibit A or in a form mutually acceptable to the parties, and any additional information as may be reasonably requested by the Company for the purpose of including such Holder’s Registrable Securities in the Shelf (the “Selling Holder Information”). The Company shall include, in the Shelf, Selling Holder Information received to the extent necessary and in a manner so that, upon effectiveness of the Shelf, any such Holder shall be named, to the extent required by the rules promulgated under the Securities Act by the Commission, as a selling securityholder and be permitted to deliver (or be deemed to deliver) a Prospectus relating to the Shelf to purchasers of the Registrable Securities in accordance with applicable law.  If the Company files an amended version of the Shelf, including any post-effective amendment to the Shelf (the “Shelf Amendment”), the Company shall give written notice of such Shelf Amendment (the “Shelf Amendment Notice”) at least ten Business Days prior to the filing thereof to each Holder and each Holder may be required, upon the Company’s request, to provide updated Selling Holder Information, in writing, in the form included with the Company’s Shelf Amendment Notice.  The Company shall include in such Shelf Amendment, such updated Selling Holder Information, including any Selling Holder Information that was not included in any previous filed version of the Shelf.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not include any Holder’s Selling Holder Information on a Shelf Amendment to the extent that such Holder, at the time of the Shelf Amendment Notice, does not or, at the time of the Shelf Amendment filing, will not hold Registrable Securities.  The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the effectiveness of the Shelf in accordance with the terms hereof for a period (such period, the “Shelf Term”) ending upon the earliest to occur of: (i) the date on which all Registrable Securities covered by the Shelf have been sold, (ii) the date on which no Holder hereunder holds Registrable Securities or (iii) one year from the closing date of the Acquisition (as defined in the Subscription Agreement) (the “Closing Date”).
 
 
2

 
 
(b)  Liquidated Damages.  If a Shelf covering the Registrable Securities is not filed with the Commission on or prior to the Filing Deadline or the Company fails to have a Registration Statement declared effective under the Securities Act prior to the applicable Effectiveness Deadline, in each case for more than 30 consecutive calendar days (the “Grace Period”), the Company will, subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 1(b), make pro rata payments to each Holder, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, in an amount equal to 1.0% of the aggregate amount invested by such Holder pursuant to the Subscription Agreement (or, in the case of a Holder that was not an original party to the Subscription Agreement, the purchase price of the Registrable Securities of such Holder that was originally paid pursuant to the Subscription Agreement) (the “Purchase Amount”) for each 30-day period (or pro rata for any portion thereof) following the applicable Grace Period. Such payments shall constitute the Holders’ exclusive monetary remedy for such events, but shall not affect the right of the Holders to seek injunctive relief.  Such payments shall be made to each Holder by check mailed to the address of the registered Holder of the Registrable Securities on the books and records of the Company as maintained by the Company’s transfer agent, no later than three Business Days after the end of each 30-day period.  Notwithstanding the forgoing, (i) the maximum aggregate liquidated damages payable to a Holder under this Agreement, including any interest, shall be 6.0% of the aggregate Purchase Amount paid by such Holder, (ii) no liquidated damages shall accrue after the Shelf Term, (iii) no liquidated damages shall accrue during any Material Event Period (as defined below) and (iv) no liquidated damages shall accrue after the date the Preferred Shares, the Underlying Common (as defined in the Subscription Agreement) and the Common Shares then held by such Holder, if any, are no longer Registrable Securities. For purposes of this Section 1(b), a “Material Event Period” shall mean any period prior to the effective date of the Shelf during which (x) the Company is pursuing and has not yet completed any announced or unannounced material transaction in respect of which the Company has entered into a binding or non-binding letter of intent to enter into definitive documentation and (y) such circumstance and/or the failure to disclose such circumstance would (A) impair the effectiveness of any Registration Statement or Prospectus or (B) result in such Registration Statement or Prospectus containing an untrue statement of a material fact or omitting any fact necessary to make the statements in the Registration Statement or Prospectus not misleading or (C)  otherwise result in such Registration or Prospectus or a resale thereunder failing to fully comply with all applicable law or regulation.
 
(c)  Restrictions on Use of the Registration Statement.  Upon written notice to the Holders of Registrable Securities, the Company shall be entitled to suspend, for a period of time (each, a “Suspension Period”), the use of any Registration Statement or Prospectus and shall not be required to amend or supplement the Registration Statement, any related Prospectus or any document incorporated therein by reference if the Company determines in its reasonable good faith judgment that the Registration Statement or any Prospectus may contain an untrue statement of a material fact or may omit any fact necessary to make the statements in the Registration Statement or Prospectus not misleading; provided, that (i) the duration of any one Suspension Period may not exceed 90 days, (ii) the duration of all Suspension Periods during the Shelf Term may not exceed 180 days and (iii) the Company shall use its reasonable good faith efforts to amend the Registration Statement and/or Prospectus to correct such untrue statement or omission as promptly as reasonably practicable, unless the Company, in its sole discretion, reasonably expects such amendment would have an adverse effect on the Company with respect to any proposal or plan of the Company to effect a merger, acquisition, disposition, financing, reorganization, recapitalization or similar transaction or any negotiations, discussions or pending proposals with respect thereto.
 
(d)  Rule 415; Cutback.  If at any time the Commission takes the position that the offering of some or all of the Registrable Securities in a Registration Statement is not eligible to be made on a continuous basis under the provisions of Rule 415 under the Securities Act or requires any Holder to be named as an “underwriter,” the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to persuade the Commission that the offering contemplated by the Registration Statement is a valid secondary offering and not an offering “by or on behalf of the issuer” as defined in Rule 415 and that none of the Investors is an “underwriter.”  No such written submission shall be made to the Commission to which the Holders’ counsel reasonably objects.  In the event that, despite the Company’s commercially reasonable efforts and compliance with the terms of this Section 1(d), the Commission refuses to alter its position, the Company shall (i) remove from the Registration Statement such portion of the Registrable Securities (the “Cut Back Shares”) and/or (ii) agree to such restrictions and limitations on the registration and resale of the Registrable Securities as the Commission may require to assure the Company’s compliance with the requirements of Rule 415 (collectively, the “SEC Restrictions”); provided, however, that the Company shall not agree to name any Holder as an “underwriter” in such Registration Statement without the prior written consent of such Holder. Any cut-back imposed on the Investors pursuant to this Section 1(d) shall be allocated among the Holders on a pro rata basis, unless the SEC Restrictions otherwise require or provide or the Holders otherwise agree.

(c)  furnish to each selling Holder of Registrable Securities, without charge, such number of copies of the applicable Registration Statement, each amendment and supplement thereto, the Prospectus included in such Registration Statement (including any Prospectus (including any Prospectus filed under Rule 424 and any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus)), all exhibits and other documents filed therewith and such other documents as such seller may reasonably request including in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such seller, and upon request, a copy of any and all transmittal letters or other correspondence to or received from, the Commission or any other governmental authority relating to such offer;
 
(d)  (i) register or qualify such Registrable Securities under such other securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as any Holder reasonably requests, (ii) keep such registration or qualification in effect for so long as the applicable Registration Statement remains in effect, and (iii) use its commercially reasonable efforts to do any and all other customary acts and things which may be reasonably necessary or advisable for the Company to do to enable such Holder to consummate the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities owned by such seller pursuant to the Plan of Distribution (provided, that for the avoidance of doubt, such Plan of Distribution shall permit all lawful means of disposition of Registrable Securities, including firm-commitment underwritten public offerings, block trades, agented transactions, sales directly into the market, and purchases or sales by brokers; and provided, further, that nothing contained herein or in the Plan of Distribution shall require the Company to (w) qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this subsection, (x) subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction, (y) consent to general service of process in any such jurisdiction or (z) participate in or effect any underwritten offering on behalf of or for the Holders of Registrable Securities);

(e)  confidentially notify each Holder of such Registrable Securities (i) at any time when a Prospectus relating to the applicable Registration Statement is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, (A) promptly upon discovery that, or upon the happening of any event as a result of which, such Registration Statement, or the Prospectus or Free Writing Prospectus relating to such Registration Statement, or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits any fact necessary to make the statements in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or Free Writing Prospectus relating thereto not misleading or otherwise requires the making of any changes in such Registration Statement, Prospectus, Free Writing Prospectus or document, and, at the request of any such seller and, other than during a Suspension Period, the Company shall undertake reasonable efforts to promptly prepare a supplement or amendment to such Prospectus or Free Writing Prospectus, furnish a reasonable number of copies of such supplement or amendment to each seller of such Registrable Securities and file such supplement or amendment with the Commission so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such Registrable Securities, such Prospectus or Free Writing Prospectus as so amended or supplemented shall not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, (B) promptly if the Company becomes aware of any request by the Commission or any federal or state governmental authority for amendments or supplements to a Registration Statement or related Prospectus or Free Writing Prospectus covering Registrable Securities or for additional information relating thereto, (C) promptly if the Company becomes aware of the issuance or threatened issuance by the Commission of any stop order or other order suspending or threatening to suspend the effectiveness or preventing the use of a Registration Statement covering the Registrable Securities or suspending the qualification of any Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement (and, other than during a Suspension Period, use its commercially reasonable efforts to prevent the issuance of or obtain the lifting of any such stop order or obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending or preventing the use of any related Prospectus or Free Writing Prospectus or suspending qualification of any Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement as soon as reasonably practicable) and (D) promptly upon the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any Registrable Security for sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; and (ii) when each such Registration Statement or any amendment thereto has been filed with the Commission and when each Registration Statement or the related Prospectus or Free Writing Prospectus or any Prospectus supplement or any post-effective amendment thereto has become effective;

(h)  (i) other than during a Suspension Period, prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and supplements to each Registration Statement as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act, including post-effective amendments to each Registration Statement as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement continuously effective for the applicable time period required hereunder; (ii) other than during a Suspension Period, cause the related Prospectus to be supplemented by any required Prospectus supplement, and as so supplemented to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 (or any similar provisions then in force) promulgated under the Securities Act; (iii) comply, as to itself,  with the provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and any applicable securities exchange or other recognized trading market with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such Registration Statement during such period in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the sellers thereof set forth in such Registration Statement as so amended or in such Prospectus as so supplemented; and (iv) provide additional information related to each Registration Statement as is reasonable and requested by, and to the extent reasonable, obtain any required approval necessary from, the Commission or any federal or state governmental authority;

Section 4.  Indemnification; Contribution.
 
(a)  The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Holder of Registrable Securities, its officers, directors, members, partners, agents and employees and each Person who controls any such Holder within the meaning of either the Securities Act or the Exchange Act (each such party other than each Holder, the “Holder Parties”) , to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, expenses and actions to which they or any of them may become subject insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in a Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package, or any preliminary, final or summary Prospectus or Free Writing Prospectus included in any such Registration Statement, or in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, 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 agrees to reimburse each such indemnified party, as incurred, for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or action (whether or not the indemnified party is a party to any proceeding); provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense arises (i) out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of any Holder specifically for inclusion therein including, without limitation, any notice and questionnaire (including, for the avoidance of doubt, Exhibit A hereto), or (ii) out of sales of Registrable Securities made during a Suspension Period after notice is given pursuant to Section 1(c) hereof.
 
(b)  Each Holder severally (and not jointly) agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its affiliates and each of their respective officers, directors, members, partners, agents and employees (each such party other than the Company, the “Company Parties”) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which they or any of them may become subject insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in a Registration Statement, in the Disclosure Package or any Free Writing Prospectus, preliminary, final or summary Prospectus included in any such Registration Statement, or in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto (collectively, “Disclosure Documents”), 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, to the extent, but only to the extent, that any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission (if the losses, claims, damages or liabilities arise in connection with Disclosure Documents first disseminated by the Company) is contained in any written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Holder specifically for inclusion therein; provided, however, that the total amount to be indemnified by such Holder pursuant to this Section 4(b) shall be limited to the net proceeds received by such Holder in the offering to which such Registration Statement, Disclosure Package, Prospectus or Free Writing Prospectus relates.

(c)  Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 4 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 4, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the failure so to notify the indemnifying party (i) will not relieve it from liability under paragraph (a) or (b) above unless and to the extent such action and such failure results in material prejudice to the indemnifying party and forfeiture by the indemnifying party of substantial rights and defenses; and (ii) will not, in any event, relieve the indemnifying party from any obligations to any indemnified party other than the indemnification obligation provided in paragraph (a) or (b) above. The indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it shall wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party, and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election to so assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof. Notwithstanding the indemnifying party’s rights in the prior sentence, the indemnified party shall have the right to employ its own single counsel (and one local counsel), but the indemnified party shall bear the fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel unless the use of only one firm of attorneys would be inappropriate due to a conflict of interest.  An indemnifying party shall not be liable under this Section 4 to any indemnified party regarding any settlement or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties to such claim or action) unless such settlement, compromise or consent is consented to in writing by such indemnifying party. No indemnifying party, in the defense of any claim or litigation, shall, except with the consent of each indemnified party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or compromise of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement or compromise includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding.
 
(d)  In the event that the indemnity provided in Section 4(a) or Section 4(b) above is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party with respect to any loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or action referred to herein, then each applicable indemnifying party agrees to contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation, legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending same) (collectively, “Losses”) to which such indemnifying party may be subject in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received from the offering of the Preferred Shares and the Common Shares, as applicable, and relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), 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 indemnifying party on the one hand or the indemnified party on the other and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.  The parties agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 4(d) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Holders of Registrable Securities or any agents or all of them were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this Section 4(d).  The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above in this Section 4(d) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim.  Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 4(d), no Person guilty of fraud or 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 fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.  For purposes of this Section 4, each Holder Party shall have the same rights to contribution as the Holder to which it relates, and each Company Party shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company, subject in each case to the applicable terms and conditions of this Section 4(d).

(e)  The provisions of this Section 4 will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Holder of Registrable Securities or the Company or any of the officers, directors, members, partners, agents and employees or affiliates referred to in this Section 4, and will survive the transfer of Registrable Securities.
 
Section 5.  Sale of Registrable Securities.  a)It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to include Registrable Securities of any Holder in any Registration Statement or Prospectus, as the case may be, that such Holder shall timely furnish to the Company (as a condition precedent to such Holder’s participation in such registration) its Selling Holder Information in accordance with the terms hereof.  Each selling Holder shall (and it shall be a condition precedent to the obligation of the Company to include Registrable Securities of such Holder in any Registration Statement or Prospectus, as the case may be, that such Holder shall) timely provide the Company with such information as may be reasonably requested to enable or assist the Company to, or as may be otherwise required to, (x)  prepare a supplement or post-effective amendment to any Shelf Registration or a supplement to any Prospectus relating to such Shelf Registration or (y) otherwise comply with this Agreement.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each selling Holder shall (and it shall be a condition precedent to the obligation of the Company to include Registrable Securities of such Holder in any Registration Statement or Prospectus, as the case may be, that such Holder shall) timely furnish all information required to be disclosed in order to make the information previously furnished to the Company by such Holders not contain a material misstatement of fact or necessary to cause any Disclosure Documents not to omit a material fact with respect to such Holder necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading.  Each selling Holder shall (and it shall be a condition precedent to the obligation of the Company to include Registrable Securities of such Holder in any Registration Statement or Prospectus, as the case may be, that such Holder shall) comply with the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and all applicable state securities laws and comply with all applicable regulations in connection with the registration and disposition of Registrable Securities.
 
(b)  Each Holder shall (and it shall be a condition precedent to the obligation of the Company to include Registrable Securities of such Holder in any Registration Statement or Prospectus, as the case may be, that such Holder shall) promptly (i) following its actual knowledge thereof, notify the Company of the occurrence of any event that makes any statement made in any Disclosure Documents untrue in any material respect or that requires the making of any changes in any Disclosure Documents so that, in such regard, it shall not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements not misleading and (ii) provide the Company with such information as may be required to enable the Company to prepare a supplement or post-effective amendment to any such Disclosure Documents.

Section 6.  Private Sale and Legends.
 
(a)  The Company agrees that nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the Holders, at any time and from time to time, from selling or otherwise transferring Registrable Securities pursuant to a private sale or other transaction which is compliant with and not registered pursuant to the Securities Act.
 
(b)  The Holders acknowledge that the certificate, general statement or other such instruments representing the Registrable Securities shall bear any legend as required by the “blue sky” laws of any state and a restrictive legend in substantially the following form (and a stop-transfer order may be placed against transfer of such stock certificates or general statements):
