SECTION 2. REGISTRATION; RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER
2.1 RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER.
(a) Each Holder agrees not to make any disposition of all or any

the Securities Act covering such proposed disposition and such disposition is
made in accordance with such registration statement; or
(ii) (A) The transferee has agreed in writing to be bound by
the terms of this Agreement, (B) such Holder shall have notified the Company of
the proposed disposition and shall have furnished the Company with a statement
of the circumstances surrounding the proposed disposition, and (C) if reasonably
requested by the Company, such Holder shall have furnished the Company with an
opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Company, that such
disposition will not require registration of such shares under the Securities
Act. It is agreed that the Company will not require opinions of counsel for
transactions made pursuant to Rule 144 except in unusual circumstances.
(iii) Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs (i) and
(ii) above, no such registration statement or opinion of counsel shall be
necessary for a transfer by a Holder which is (A) a partnership to its partners
or former partners in accordance with partnership interests, (B) a corporation
to its stockholders in accordance with their interest in the corporation, (C) a
limited liability company to its members or former members in accordance with
their interest in the limited liability company, or (D) to the Holder's family
member or trust for the benefit of an individual Holder or his or her family
member; provided that in each case the transferee will be subject to the terms
of this Agreement to the same extent as if he or she were an original Holder
hereunder.
(b) Each certificate representing Shares or Registrable
Securities shall (unless otherwise permitted by the provisions of the Purchase
Agreement) be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend substantially similar
to the following (in addition to any legend required under applicable state
securities laws or as provided elsewhere in this Agreement):

THE SHARES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER
THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD,
TRANSFERRED, ASSIGNED, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED UNLESS AND UNTIL
REGISTERED UNDER SUCH ACT, OR UNLESS THE COMPANY HAS RECEIVED AN
OPINION OF COUNSEL OR OTHER EVIDENCE, SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY
AND ITS COUNSEL, THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.
(c) The Company shall be obligated to reissue promptly unlegended
certificates at the request of any holder thereof if the holder shall have
obtained an opinion of counsel (which counsel may be counsel to the Company)
reasonably acceptable to the Company to the effect that the securities proposed
to be disposed of may lawfully be so disposed of without registration,
qualification or legend.
(d) Any legend endorsed on an instrument pursuant to applicable
state securities laws and the stop-transfer instructions with respect to such
securities shall be removed upon receipt by the Company of an order of the
appropriate blue sky authority authorizing such removal.
2.2 DEMAND REGISTRATION.
(a) Subject to the conditions of this Section 2.2, if the Company
shall receive a written request from the Holders of more than fifty percent
(50%) of the Registrable Securities then outstanding (the "Initiating Holders")
that the Company file a registration statement under the Securities Act covering
the registration of Registrable Securities having an aggregate offering price to
the public in excess of $5,000,000 (a "Qualified Public Offering"), then the
Company shall, within thirty (30) days of the receipt thereof, give written
notice of such request to all Holders, and subject to the limitations of this
Section 2.2, use its best efforts to effect, as soon as practicable, the
registration under the Securities Act of all Registrable Securities that the
Holders request to be registered.
(b) If the Initiating Holders intend to distribute the
Registrable Securities covered by their request by means of an underwriting,
they shall so advise the Company as a part of their request made pursuant to
this Section 2.2 or any request pursuant to Section 2.4 and the Company shall
include such information in the written notice referred to in Section 2.2(a) or
Section 2.4(a), as applicable. In such event, the right of any Holder to include
its Registrable Securities in such registration shall be conditioned upon such
Holder's participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder's
Registrable Securities in the underwriting (unless otherwise mutually agreed by
a majority in interest of the Initiating Holders and such Holder) to the extent
provided herein. All Holders proposing to distribute their securities through
such underwriting shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form
with the
4.
underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting by a majority in
interest of the Initiating Holders (which underwriter or underwriters shall be
reasonably acceptable to the Company). Notwithstanding any other provision of
this Section 2.2 or Section 2.4, if the underwriter advises the Company that
marketing factors require a limitation of the number of securities to be
underwritten (including Registrable Securities) then the Company shall so advise
all Holders of Registrable Securities which would otherwise be underwritten
pursuant hereto, and the number of shares that may be included in the
underwriting shall be allocated, first, to the Initiating Holders and, second,
to all other Holders of such Registrable Securities on a pro rata basis based on
the total number of Registrable Securities held by all such Holders. Any
Registrable Securities excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting shall be
withdrawn from the registration.
(c) The Company shall not be required to effect a registration
pursuant to this Section 2.2:
(i) prior to the fourth anniversary of the date of this
Agreement;
(ii) after the Company has effected two (2) registrations
pursuant to this Section 2.2, and such registrations have been declared or
ordered effective;
(iii) during the period starting with the date of filing of,
and ending on the date one hundred eighty (180) days following the effective
date of the registration statement pertaining to the Initial Offering; provided
that the Company makes reasonable good faith efforts to cause such registration
statement to become effective;
(iv) if within thirty (30) days of receipt of a written
request from Initiating Holders pursuant to Section 2.2(a), the Company gives
notice to the Holders of the Company's intention to make its Initial Offering
within ninety (90) days; or
(v) if the Company shall furnish to Holders requesting a
registration statement pursuant to this Section 2.2, a certificate signed by the
Chairman of the Board stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board of
Directors of the Company, it would be seriously detrimental to the Company and
its stockholders for such registration statement to be effected at such time, in
which event the Company shall have the right to defer such filing for a period
of not more than ninety (90) days after receipt of the request of the Initiating
Holders; provided that such right to delay a request shall be exercised by the
Company not more than once in any twelve (12) month period.
2.3 PIGGYBACK REGISTRATIONS. The Company shall notify all Holders of
Registrable Securities in writing at least thirty (30) days prior to the filing
of any registration statement under the Securities Act for purposes of a public
offering of securities of the Company (including a registration statement filed
pursuant to Section 2.2 of this Agreement and including, but not limited to,
registration statements relating to secondary offerings of securities of the
Company, but excluding registration statements relating to employee benefit
plans or with respect to corporate reorganizations or other transactions under
Rule 145 of the Securities Act) and will afford each such Holder an opportunity
to include in such registration statement all or part of
5.
such Registrable Securities held by such Holder. Each Holder desiring to include
in any such registration statement all or any part of the Registrable Securities
held by it shall, within fifteen (15) days after the above-described notice from
the Company, so notify the Company in writing. Such notice shall state the
intended method of disposition of the Registrable Securities by such Holder. If
a Holder decides not to include all of its Registrable Securities in any
registration statement thereafter filed by the Company, such Holder shall
nevertheless continue to have the right to include any Registrable Securities in
any subsequent registration statement or registration statements as may be filed
by the Company with respect to offerings of its securities, all upon the terms
and conditions set forth herein.
(a) UNDERWRITING. If the registration statement under which the
Company gives notice under this Section 2.3 is for an underwritten offering, the
Company shall so advise the Holders of Registrable Securities. In such event,
the right of any such Holder to be included in a registration pursuant to this
Section 2.3 shall be conditioned upon such Holder's participation in such
underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder's Registrable Securities in the
underwriting to the extent provided herein. All Holders proposing to distribute
their Registrable Securities through such underwriting shall enter into an
underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters
selected for such underwriting by the Company. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Agreement, if the underwriter determines in good faith that
marketing factors require a limitation of the number of shares to be
underwritten, the number of shares that may be included in the underwriting
shall be allocated, first, to the Company (or in the case of a registration
pursuant to Section 2.2, the Initiating Holders); second, to the Holders on a
pro rata basis based on the total number of Registrable Securities held by the
Holders; and third, to any stockholder of the Company (other than a Holder) on a
pro rata basis. No such reduction shall (i) reduce the securities being offered
by the Company for its own account to be included in the registration and
underwriting, or (ii) reduce the amount of securities of the selling Holders
included in the registration below twenty-five percent (25%) of the total amount
of securities included in such registration, unless such offering is the Initial
Offering and such registration does not include shares of any other selling
stockholders, in which event any or all of the Registrable Securities of the
Holders may be excluded in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence.
In no event will shares of any other selling stockholder be included in such
registration which would reduce the number of shares which may be included by
Holders without the written consent of Holders of not less than two-thirds (66
2/3%) of the Registrable Securities proposed to be sold in the offering.
(b) RIGHT TO TERMINATE REGISTRATION. The Company shall have the
right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under this
Section 2.3 prior to the effectiveness of such registration whether or not any
Holder has elected to include securities in such registration. The Registration
Expenses of such withdrawn registration shall be borne by the Company in
accordance with Section 2.5 hereof.
2.4 FORM S-3 REGISTRATION. In case the Company shall receive from any
Holder or Holders of Registrable Securities a written request or requests that
the Company effect a registration on Form S-3 (or any successor to Form S-3) or
any similar short-form registration
6.
statement and any related qualification or compliance with respect to all or a
part of the Registrable Securities owned by such Holder or Holders, the Company
will:
(a) promptly give written notice of the proposed registration,
and any related qualification or compliance, to all other Holders of Registrable
Securities; and
(b) as soon as practicable, effect such registration and all such
qualifications and compliances as may be so requested and as would permit or
facilitate the sale and distribution of all or such portion of such Holder's or
Holders' Registrable Securities as are specified in such request, together with
all or such portion of the Registrable Securities of any other Holder or Holders
joining in such request as are specified in a written request given within
fifteen (15) days after receipt of such written notice from the Company;
provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to effect any such
registration, qualification or compliance pursuant to this Section 2.4:
(i) if Form S-3 (or any successor or similar form) is not
available for such offering by the Holders, or
(ii) if the Holders, together with the holders of any other
securities of the Company entitled to inclusion in such registration, propose to
sell Registrable Securities and such other securities (if any) at an aggregate
price to the public of less than $500,000, or
(iii) if the Company shall furnish to the Holders a
certificate signed by the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company
stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the
Company, it would be seriously detrimental to the Company and its stockholders
for such Form S-3 Registration to be effected at such time, in which event the
Company shall have the right to defer the filing of the Form S-3 registration
statement for a period of not more than ninety (90) days after receipt of the
request of the Holder or Holders under this Section 2.4: provided, that such
right to delay a request shall be exercised by the Company not more than once in
any twelve (12) month period, or
(iv) if the Company has, within the twelve (12) month period
preceding the date of such request, already effected two (2) registrations on
Form S-3 for the Holders pursuant to this Section 2.4, or
(v) if the Company has already effected three (3)
registrations on Form S-3 for the Holders pursuant to this Section 2.4, or
(vi) in any particular jurisdiction in which the Company
would be required to qualify to do business or to execute a general consent to
service of process in effecting such registration, qualification or compliance.
(c) Subject to the foregoing, the Company shall file a Form S-3
registration statement covering the Registrable Securities and other securities
so requested to be registered as soon as practicable after receipt of the
request or requests of the Holders.
7.
2.5 EXPENSES OF REGISTRATION. Except as specifically provided herein,
all Registration Expenses incurred in connection with any registration,
qualification or compliance pursuant to Section 2.2, Section 2.3 or Section 2.4
herein shall be borne by the Company. All Selling Expenses incurred in
connection with any registrations hereunder, shall be borne by the holders of
the securities so registered pro rata on the basis of the number of shares so
registered. The Company shall not, however, be required to pay for expenses of
any registration proceeding begun pursuant to Section 2.2 or 2.4, the request of
which has been subsequently withdrawn by the Initiating Holders unless (a) the
withdrawal is based upon material adverse information concerning the Company of
which the Initiating Holders were not aware at the time of such request or (b)
the Holders of a majority of Registrable Securities agree to forfeit their right
to one requested registration pursuant to Section 2.2 or Section 2.4, as
applicable, in which event such right shall be forfeited by all Holders. If the
Holders are required to pay the Registration Expenses, such expenses shall be
borne by the holders of securities (including Registrable Securities) requesting
such registration in proportion to the number of shares for which registration
was requested. If the Company is required to pay the Registration Expenses of a
withdrawn offering pursuant to clause (a) above, then the Holders shall not
forfeit their rights pursuant to Section 2.2 or Section 2.4 to a demand or S-3
registration.
2.6 OBLIGATIONS OF THE COMPANY. Whenever required to effect the
registration of any Registrable Securities, the Company shall, as expeditiously
as reasonably possible:
(a) Prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement with
respect to such Registrable Securities and use all reasonable efforts to cause
such registration statement to become effective, and, upon the request of the
Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities registered thereunder, keep
such registration statement effective for up to ninety (90) days or, if earlier,
until the Holder or Holders have completed the distribution related thereto.
(b) Prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements
to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection with such
registration statement as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the
Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such
registration statement.
(c) Furnish to the Holders such number of copies of a prospectus,
including a preliminary prospectus, in conformity with the requirements of the
Securities Act, and such other documents as they may reasonably request in order
to facilitate the disposition of Registrable Securities owned by them.
(d) Use all reasonable efforts to register and qualify the
securities covered by such registration statement under such other securities or
Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as shall be reasonably requested by the
Holders, 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.
(e) In the event of any underwritten public offering, enter into
and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and
customary form, with the managing
8.
underwriter(s) of such offering. Each Holder participating in such underwriting
shall also enter into and perform its obligations under such an agreement.
(f) Notify each Holder of Registrable Securities covered by such
registration statement at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is
required to be delivered under the Securities Act of 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.
(g) Furnish, at the request of a majority of the Holders
participating in the registration, on the date that such Registrable Securities
are delivered to the underwriters for sale, 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
securities 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 a majority in interest of the Holders
requesting registration, addressed to the underwriters, if any, and to the
Holders requesting registration of Registrable Securities and (ii) a 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 a majority in interest of the Holders requesting
registration, addressed to the underwriters, if any, and if permitted by
applicable accounting standards, to the Holders requesting registration of
Registrable Securities.
2.7 TERMINATION OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS. All registration rights granted
under this Section 2 shall terminate and be of no further force and effect three
(3) years after the date of the Company's Initial Offering. In addition, a
Holder's registration rights shall expire if (i) the Company has completed its
Initial Offering and is subject to the provisions of the Exchange Act, (ii) such
Holder (together with its affiliates, partners and former partners) holds less
than 1% of the Company's outstanding Common Stock (treating all shares of
convertible Preferred Stock on an as-converted basis) and (iii) all Registrable
Securities held by and issuable to such Holder (and its affiliates, partners and
former partners) may be sold under Rule 144 during any ninety (90) day period.
2.8 DELAY OF REGISTRATION; FURNISHING INFORMATION.
(a) It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the
Company to take any action pursuant to Section 2.2, 2.3 or 2.4 that the selling
Holders shall furnish to the Company such information regarding themselves, the
Registrable Securities held by them and the intended method of disposition of
such securities as shall be required to effect the registration of their
Registrable Securities.
(b) The Company shall have no obligation with respect to any
registration requested pursuant to Section 2.2 or Section 2.4 if, due to the
operation of subsection 2.2(b), the number of shares or the anticipated
aggregate offering price of the Registrable Securities to be
9.
included in the registration does not equal or exceed the number of shares or
the anticipated aggregate offering price required to originally trigger the
Company's obligation to initiate such registration as specified in Section 2.2
or Section 2.4, whichever is applicable.
2.9 INDEMNIFICATION. In the event any Registrable Securities are
included in a registration statement under Sections 2.2, 2.3 or 2.4:
(a) To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify
and hold harmless each Holder, the partners, officers, directors and legal
counsel of each Holder, any underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act) for
such Holder and each person, if any, who controls such Holder or underwriter
within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, against any
losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (joint or several) to which they may
become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or
state law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in
respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any of the following statements,
omissions or violations (collectively a "Violation") by the Company: (i) any
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in
such registration statement, including any preliminary prospectus or final
prospectus contained therein or any amendments or supplements thereto, (ii) 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, or
(iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company 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 in
connection with the offering covered by such registration statement; and the
Company will reimburse each such Holder, partner, officer or director,
underwriter or controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably
incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss,
claim, damage, liability or action; provided however, that the indemnity
agreement contained in this Section 2.9(a) shall not apply to amounts paid in
settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such
settlement is effected without the consent of the Company, which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld, nor shall the Company be liable in any such case
for any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action to the extent that it
arises out of or is based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in
conformity with written information furnished expressly for use in connection
with such registration by such Holder, partner, officer, director, underwriter
or controlling person of such Holder.
(b) To the extent permitted by law, each Holder will, if
Registrable Securities held by such Holder are included in the securities as to
which such registration, qualification or compliance is being effected,
indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, its officers,
and legal counsel and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the
meaning of the Securities Act, any underwriter and any other Holder selling
securities under such registration statement or any of such other Holder's
partners, directors or officers or any person who controls such Holder, against
any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (joint or several) to which the
Company or any such director, officer, controlling person, underwriter or other
such Holder, or partner, director, officer or controlling person of such other
Holder may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other
federal or state law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or
actions in respect thereto) arise out of or are based upon
10.
any Violation, in each case to the extent (and only to the extent) that such
Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information
furnished by such Holder under an instrument duly executed by such Holder and
stated to be specifically for use in connection with such registration; and each
such Holder will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by
the Company or any such director, officer, controlling person, underwriter or
other Holder, or partner, officer, director or controlling person of such other
Holder in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim,
damage, liability or action if it is judicially determined that there was such a
Violation; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this
Section 2.9(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss,
claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the
consent of the Holder, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld;
provided further, that in no event shall any indemnity under this Section 2.9
exceed the proceeds from the offering received by such Holder.
(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this
Section 2.9 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any
governmental action), such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof
is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 2.9, deliver to
the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof and the
indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent
the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party
similarly noticed, to assume the defense thereof with counsel mutually
satisfactory to the parties; provided, however, that an indemnified party shall
have the right to retain its own 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 proceeding. The failure to deliver
written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the
commencement of any such action, if materially prejudicial to its ability to
defend such action, shall relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to
the indemnified party under this Section 2.9, but the omission so to deliver
written 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 2.9.
(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 2.9 is
held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified
party with respect to any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to
herein, the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party
thereunder, shall to the extent permitted by applicable law contribute to the
amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss,
claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the
relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and of the indemnified
party on the other in connection with the Violation(s) that resulted in such
loss, claim, damage or liability, as well as any other relevant equitable
considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the
indemnified party shall be determined by a court of law by reference to, among
other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact
or the omission to state 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
11.
omission; provided, that in no event shall any contribution by a Holder
hereunder exceed the proceeds from the offering received by such Holder.
(e) The obligations of the Company and Holders under this Section
2.9 shall survive completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in a
registration statement and the termination of this Agreement. No Indemnifying
Party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation, shall, except with the
consent of each Indemnified Party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter
into any settlement 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.
2.10 ASSIGNMENT OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS. The rights to cause the Company
to register Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 2 may be assigned by
a Holder to a transferee or assignee of Registrable Securities which (i) is a
general partner, limited partner or retired partner of a Holder, (ii) is a
Holder's family member or trust for the benefit of an individual Holder or
family member, or (iii) acquires at least three hundred thousand (300,000)
shares of Registrable Securities (as adjusted for stock splits and
combinations); provided, however, (A) the transferor shall, within ten (10) days
after such transfer, furnish to the Company written notice of the name and
address of such transferee or assignee and the securities with respect to which
such registration rights are being assigned and (B) such transferee shall agree
to be subject to all restrictions set forth in this Agreement.
2.11 AMENDMENT OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS. Any provision of this Section 2
may be amended and the observance thereof may be waived (either generally or in
a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively), only with the
written consent of the Company and the Holders of at least sixty-six and
two-thirds percent (66 2/3%) of the Registrable Securities then outstanding. Any
amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this Section 2.11 shall be
binding upon each Holder and the Company.
2.12 LIMITATION ON SUBSEQUENT REGISTRATION RIGHTS. After the date of
this Agreement, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the
Holders of sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66 2/3%) of the Registrable
Securities then outstanding, enter into any agreement with any holder or
prospective holder of any securities of the Company that would grant such holder
registration rights senior to or on parity with those granted to the Holders
hereunder.
2.13 "MARKET STAND-OFF" AGREEMENT. Each Holder hereby agrees that such
Holder shall not sell or otherwise transfer or dispose of any Common Stock (or
other securities) of the Company held by such Holder (other than those included
in the registration) for a period specified by the representative of the
underwriters of Common Stock (or other securities) of the Company not to exceed
one hundred eighty (180) days following the effective date of a registration
statement of the Company filed under the Securities Act, provided that:
(i) such agreement shall apply only to the Company's Initial
Offering; and
12.
(ii) all officers and directors of the Company and holders of at
least three percent (3%) of the Company's voting securities enter into similar
agreements.
Each Holder agrees to execute and deliver such other agreements as may
be reasonably requested by the Company or the underwriter which are consistent
with the foregoing or which are necessary to give further effect thereto. The
obligations described in this Section 2.13 shall not apply to a registration
relating solely to employee benefit plans on Form S-1 or Form S-8 or similar
forms that may be promulgated in the future, or a registration relating solely
to a Commission Rule 145 transaction on Form S-4 or similar forms that may be
promulgated in the future. The Company may impose stop-transfer instructions
with respect to the shares of Common Stock (or other securities) subject to the
foregoing restriction until the end of said one hundred eighty (180) day period.
2.14 RULE 144 REPORTING. With a view to making available to the Holders
the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the SEC which may permit the
sale of the Registrable Securities to the public without registration, the
Company agrees to use its best efforts to:
(a) Make and keep public information available, as those terms
are understood and defined in SEC Rule 144 or any similar or analogous rule
promulgated under the Securities Act, at all times after the effective date of
the first registration filed by the Company for an offering of its securities to
the general public;
(b) File with the SEC, in a timely manner, all reports and other
documents required of the Company under the Exchange Act;
(c) So long as a Holder owns any Registrable Securities, furnish
to such Holder forthwith upon request: a written statement by the Company as to
its compliance with the reporting requirements of said Rule 144 of the
Securities Act, and of the Exchange Act (at any time after it has become subject
to such reporting requirements); a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly
report of the Company; and such other reports and documents as a Holder may
reasonably request in availing itself of any rule or regulation of the SEC
allowing it to sell any such securities without registration.
SECTION 3. COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY
3.1 BASIC FINANCIAL INFORMATION AND REPORTING.
(a) The Company will maintain true books and records of account
in which full and correct entries will be made of all its business transactions
pursuant to a system of accounting established and administered in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied, and will set
aside on its books all such proper accruals and reserves as shall be required
under generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied.
(b) As soon as practicable after the end of each fiscal year of
the Company, and in any event within ninety (90) days thereafter, the Company
will furnish each Investor a consolidated balance sheet of the Company, as at
the end of such fiscal year, and a consolidated
13.
statement of income and a consolidated statement of cash flows of the Company,
for such year, all prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles consistently applied and setting forth in each case in comparative
form the figures for the previous fiscal year, all in reasonable detail. Such
financial statements shall be accompanied by a report and opinion thereon by
independent public accountants of national standing selected by the Company's
Board of Directors.
(c) The Company will furnish each Investor, as soon as
practicable after the end of the first, second and third quarterly accounting
periods in each fiscal year of the Company, and in any event within forty-five
(45) days thereafter, a consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of the end
of each such quarterly period, and a consolidated statement of income and a
consolidated statement of cash flows of the Company for such period and for the
current fiscal year to date, prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles, with the exception that no notes need be attached to such
statements and year-end audit adjustments may not have been made.
(d) So long as an Investor (with its affiliates) shall own not
less than three-hundred thousand (300,000) shares of Registrable Securities (as
adjusted for stock splits and combinations) (a "Major Investor"), the Company
will furnish each such Major Investor (i) at least thirty (30) days prior to the
beginning of each fiscal year an annual budget and operating plans for such
fiscal year (and as soon as available, any subsequent revisions thereto); and
(ii) as soon as practicable after the end of each month, and in any event within
twenty (20) days thereafter, a consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of
the end of each such month, and a consolidated statement of income and a
consolidated statement of cash flows of the Company for such month and for the
current fiscal year to date, including a comparison to plan figures for such
period, prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
consistently applied, with the exception that no notes need be attached to such
statements and year-end audit adjustments may not have been made.
3.2 INSPECTION RIGHTS. Each Investor shall have the right to visit and
inspect any of the properties of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, and to
discuss the affairs, finances and accounts of the Company or any of its
subsidiaries with its officers, and to review such information as is reasonably
requested all at such reasonable times and as often as may be reasonably
requested; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated under this
Section 3.2 with respect to a competitor of the Company or with respect to
information which the Board of Directors determines in good faith is
confidential and should not, therefore, be disclosed.
3.3 CONFIDENTIALITY OF RECORDS. Each Investor agrees to use, and to use
its best efforts to insure that its authorized representatives use, the same
degree of care as such Investor uses to protect its own confidential information
to keep confidential any information furnished to it which the Company
identifies as being confidential or proprietary (so long as such information is
not in the public domain), except that such Investor may disclose such
proprietary or confidential information to any partner, subsidiary or parent of
such Investor for the purpose of
14.
evaluating its investment in the Company as long as such partner, subsidiary or
parent is advised of the confidentiality provisions of this Section 3.3.
3.4 RESERVATION OF COMMON STOCK. The Company will at all times reserve
and keep available, solely for issuance and delivery upon the conversion of the
Preferred Stock, all Common Stock issuable from time to time upon such
conversion.
3.5 STOCK VESTING. Unless otherwise approved by the Board of Directors,
all stock options and other stock equivalents issued after the date of this
Agreement to employees, directors, consultants and other service providers shall
be subject to vesting as follows: (i) twenty percent (20%) of such stock shall
vest at the end of the first year following the earlier of the date of issuance
or such person's services commencement date with the company, and (ii) eighty
percent (80%) of such stock shall vest over the remaining four (4) years. With
respect to any shares of stock purchased by any such person, the Company's
repurchase option shall provide that upon such person's termination of
employment or service with the Company, with or without cause, the Company or
its assignee (to the extent permissible under applicable securities laws and
other laws) shall have the option to purchase at cost any unvested shares of
stock held by such person.
3.6 EXECUTIVE OFFICER COMPENSATION. The Board of Directors of the
Company shall have the discretion to evaluate and modify the compensation of the
Company's executive officers from time to time (including at the first meeting
of the Board of Directors which occurs after the date hereof).
3.7 PROPRIETARY INFORMATION AND INVENTIONS AGREEMENT. The Company shall
require all officers and employees to execute and deliver a Proprietary
Information and Inventions Agreement in the form attached to the Purchase
Agreement. The Company shall require all consultants to execute and deliver a
consulting agreement containing confidentiality and assignment of inventions
provisions similar to those included in the Proprietary Information and
Inventions Agreement.
3.8 DIRECTORS' LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION. The Company's Certificate
of Incorporation and Bylaws shall provide (i) for elimination of the liability
of directors to the maximum extent permitted by law and (ii) for indemnification
of directors for acts on behalf of the Company to the maximum extent permitted
by law.
3.9 REAL PROPERTY HOLDING CORPORATION. The Company covenants that it
will operate in a manner such that it will not become a "United States real
property holding corporation" ("USRPHC") as that term is defined in Section
897(c)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the
regulations thereunder ("FIRPTA"). The Company agrees to make determinations
as to its status as a USRPHC, and will file statements concerning those
determinations with the Internal Revenue Service, in the manner and at the
times required under Reg. Section 1.897-2(h), or any supplementary or
successor provision thereto. Within 30 days of a request from an Investor or
any of its partners, the Company will inform the requesting party, in the
manner set forth in Reg. Section 1.897-2(h)(1)(iv) or any supplementary or
successor provision thereto, whether that party's interest in the Company
constitutes a United States real property
15.
interest (within the meaning of Internal Revenue Code Section 897(c)(1) and the
regulations thereunder) and whether the Company has provided to the Internal
Revenue Service all required notices as to its USRPHC status.
3.10 TERMINATION OF COVENANTS. All covenants of the Company contained
in Section 3 of this Agreement shall expire and terminate as to each Investor on
the effective date of the registration statement pertaining to a firmly
underwritten public offering of shares of Common Stock of the Company at a price
per share not less than $3.50 and for a total offering of not less than $15.0
million (before deduction of underwriters commissions and expenses) (a
"Qualified IPO").
SECTION 4. RIGHTS OF FIRST REFUSAL
4.1 SUBSEQUENT OFFERINGS. Each Major Investor shall have a right of
first refusal to purchase its pro rata share of all Equity Securities, as
defined below, that the Company may, from time to time, propose to sell and
issue after the date of this Agreement, other than the Equity Securities
excluded by Section 4.6 hereof. Each Investor's pro rata share is equal to the
ratio of (A) the number of shares of the Company's Common Stock (including all
shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon conversion of the Shares) of
which such Investor is deemed to be a holder immediately prior to the issuance
of such Equity Securities to (B) the total number of shares of the Company's
outstanding Common Stock (including all shares of Common Stock issued or
issuable upon conversion of the Shares) immediately prior to the issuance of the
Equity Securities. The term "Equity Securities" shall mean (i) any Common Stock,
Preferred Stock or other security of the Company, (ii) any security convertible,
with or without consideration, into any Common Stock, Preferred Stock or other
security (including any option to purchase such a convertible security), (iii)
any security carrying any warrant or right to subscribe to or purchase any
Common Stock, Preferred Stock or other security, or (iv) any such warrant or
right.
4.2 EXERCISE OF RIGHTS. If the Company proposes to issue any Equity
Securities, it shall give each Major Investor written notice of its intention,
describing the Equity Securities, the price and the terms and conditions upon
which the Company proposes to issue the same. Each Major Investor shall have
fifteen (15) days from the giving of such notice to agree to purchase its pro
rata share of the Equity Securities for the price and upon the terms and
conditions specified in the notice by giving written notice to the Company and
stating therein the quantity of Equity Securities to be purchased.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to offer or
sell such Equity Securities to any Investor who would cause the Company to be in
violation of applicable federal securities laws by virtue of such offer or sale.
4.3 ISSUANCE OF EQUITY SECURITIES TO OTHER PERSONS. If not all of the
Major Investors elect to purchase their pro rata share of the Equity Securities,
then the Company shall promptly notify in writing the Major Investors who do so
elect and shall offer such Major Investors the right to acquire such
unsubscribed shares. The Major Investors shall have five (5) days after receipt
of such notice to notify the Company of its election to purchase all or a
portion thereof of the unsubscribed shares. If the Investors fail to exercise in
full the rights of first
16.
refusal, the Company shall have ninety (90) days thereafter to sell the Equity
Securities in respect of which the Major Investors' rights were not exercised,
at a price and upon general terms and conditions materially no more favorable to
the purchasers thereof than specified in the Company's notice to the Major
Investors pursuant to Section 4.2 hereof. If the Company has not sold such
Equity Securities within ninety (90) days of the notice provided pursuant to
Section 4.2, the Company shall not thereafter issue or sell any Equity
Securities without first offering such securities to the Major Investors in the
manner provided above.
4.4 TERMINATION OF RIGHTS OF FIRST REFUSAL. The rights of first refusal
established by this Section 4 shall not apply to, and shall terminate upon the
effective date of the registration statement pertaining to a Qualified IPO.
4.5 TRANSFER OF RIGHTS OF FIRST REFUSAL. The rights of first refusal of
each Major Investor under this Section 4 may be transferred to the same parties,
subject to the same restrictions as any transfer of registration rights pursuant
to Section 2.10.
4.6 EXCLUDED SECURITIES. The rights of first refusal established by
this Section 4 shall have no application to any of the following Equity
Securities:
(a) up to an aggregate amount of 9,525,000 shares of Common Stock
(and/or options, warrants or other Common Stock purchase rights issued pursuant
to such options, warrants or other rights) issued or to be issued to employees,
officers or directors of, or consultants or advisors to, the Company or any
subsidiary, pursuant to stock purchase or stock option plans or other
arrangements that are approved by the Board of Directors;
(b) stock issued pursuant to any rights or agreements outstanding
as of the date of this Agreement, options and warrants outstanding as of the
date of this Agreement; and stock issued pursuant to any such rights or
agreements granted after the date of this Agreement, provided that the rights of
first refusal established by this Section 4 applied with respect to the initial
sale or grant by the Company of such rights or agreements;
(c) any Equity Securities issued for consideration other than
cash pursuant to a merger, consolidation, acquisition or similar business
combination;
(d) shares of Common Stock issued in connection with any stock
split, stock dividend or recapitalization by the Company;
(e) shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Shares;
(f) any Equity Securities issued pursuant to any equipment
leasing arrangement, or debt financing from a bank or similar financial
institution;
(g) any Equity Securities that are issued by the Company pursuant
to a registration statement filed under the Securities Act; and
17.
(h) shares of the Company's Common Stock or Preferred Stock
issued in connection with strategic transactions involving the Company and other
entities, including (A) joint ventures, manufacturing, marketing or distribution
arrangements or (B) technology transfer or development arrangements; provided
that such strategic transactions and the issuance of shares therein, has been
approved by the Company's Board of Directors.
