registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. The Purchaser
acknowledges that it must bear the economic risk of the Preferred Shares for an indefinite period
of time (subject, however, to the Company’s obligation to redeem the Preferred Shares at the
election of the Purchaser in accordance with the terms thereof, and to the Company’s obligation to
effect the registration of the Registrable Securities under the Securities Act in accordance with
Section 8 of this Agreement) since they have not been registered under the Securities Act and
therefore cannot be sold unless they are subsequently registered or an exemption from registration
is available.
(b) The Purchaser agrees with the Company that the certificates evidencing the Preferred
Shares will bear the following legend:
“THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD OR TRANSFERRED UNLESS THERE IS AN
EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER SUCH ACT COVERING SUCH SECURITIES OR THE SECURITIES
ARE SOLD AND TRANSFERRED IN A TRANSACTION THAT IS EXEMPT FROM THE REGISTRATION AND
PROSPECTUS DELIVERY REQUIREMENTS OF SUCH ACT.”
(c) The legend endorsed on the certificates pursuant to Section 7.1(b) hereof shall be removed
and the Company shall issue a certificate without such legend to the holder thereof at such time as
the securities evidenced thereby cease to be restricted securities upon the earliest to occur of:
(i) a registration statement with respect to the sale of such securities shall have become
effective under the Securities Act and such securities shall have been disposed of in accordance
with such registration statement, (ii) the securities shall have been sold to the public pursuant
to Rule 144 (or any successor provision) under the Securities Act, and (iii) such securities may be
sold by the holder without restriction or registration under Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act
(or any successor provision).
8. Registration Rights.
8.1. Demand Registrations.
(a) Requests for Registration. Subject at all times to the right of holders of the
Prior Registrable Securities in the registration of such shares, the Purchaser may at any time
after the earlier of three years from the last Closing Date or the six-month period following a
Qualifying IPO, request registration (“Registration”) under the Securities Act of all or part of
its Registrable Securities on Form S-2 or S-3 or any similar short-form of registration
(“Short-Form Registration”) having an aggregate offering price to the public of not less than
$100,000,000 net of underwriting costs and commissions, the Company will use its commercially
reasonable efforts to cause such shares to be registered subject to customary market hold back
provisions, provided the Purchaser together with another Purchaser or Purchasers requesting such
Registration are then holding not less than a majority of holders of the outstanding shares of
Preferred Shares, including common stock issued on the conversion of the Preferred Shares. Each
request for a Demand Registration shall specify the number of Registrable Securities requested to
be registered and the proposed underwriter. Within 10 days after receipt of any such request, the
Company will give written notice of such requested registration to all other holders (if any) of
Registrable Securities and, subject to Section 8.1(c) below, will include in such registration all
Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received written requests for
inclusion therein within 15 days after the receipt of the Company’s notice. All registrations
requested pursuant to this Section 8.1(a) are referred to herein as “Demand Registrations.”
(b) Registrations. Subject to the requirements of Section 8.1(a) above, the Purchaser
will be entitled to request unlimited Short-Form Registrations (if available to the Company and
subject to customary limitations), provided that the aggregate offering value of the Registrable
Securities requested to be registered in any Short-Form Registration must equal at
least $10,000,000, and the Purchaser shall bear all Registration Expenses, and may request
only two Short-Form Registrations in any 12-month period.
(c) Priority in Demand Registrations. The exercise of the rights of the Purchaser
under this Section 8 are at all times subject to the rights of the holders of the Prior Registrable
Securities regarding registration thereof. The Company will not include in any Demand Registration
any securities which are not Registrable Securities without the prior written consent of the
holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities included in such registration. At the
discretion of the Company, the Demand Registration shall be managed by an underwriter. If a Demand
Registration is an underwritten offering and the managing underwriters advise the Company in
writing that in their opinion the number of Registrable Securities and, if permitted hereunder,
other securities requested to be included in such offering, exceeds the number of Registrable
Securities, and other securities, if any, which can be sold under this Section 8 without adversely
affecting the marketability of the offering (the “Offering Quantity”), then the Company will
include in such registration securities in the following priority:
(i) first, all Registrable Securities requested to be included by the holders thereof, and if
the number of such holder’s securities requested to be included exceeds the Offering Quantity, then
the Company shall include only each such requesting holder’s pro rata share of the available
Offering Quantity based on the amount of Registrable Securities requested to be sold for the
account of each such holder; and
(ii) second, the securities proposed to be sold for the account of the Company; and
(iii) third, to the extent (and only to the extent) that the Offering Quantity exceeds the
aggregate amount of securities to be sold pursuant to (i) and (ii) above, the Company will include
in such registration any other securities to be included in the offering.
Any Persons other than holders of Registrable Securities who participate in Demand Registrations
which are not at the Company’s expense must pay their share of the Registration Expenses as
provided in Section 8.6 hereof.
(d) Restrictions on Demand Registrations. The Company will not be
obligated to effect any Demand Registration: (i) within 150 days after the effective date of a
previous Demand Registration. Company shall be entitled to postpone the filing or effectiveness of
any registration statement otherwise required to be prepared and filed by it pursuant to Section
8.1(a) for a reasonable period of time (but not exceeding 180 days) if the Company determines, in
its reasonable judgment, that such registration and offering, or such offers and sales, would
materially and adversely interfere with any material financing, acquisition, corporate
reorganization or other material transaction involving the Company or any of its Affiliates or
would require the Company to disclose material non-public information; provided, however, that the
Company shall use all reasonable efforts to minimize the period of such postponement and may not
utilize this right more than once in any twelve-month period; (ii) during the 180 day period
commencing with the date of the Company’s Qualifying IPO, or (iii) within 180 days after the
effective date of any pervious Demand Registration or (iv) if the Company delivers notice to
holders of Registrable Securities within 30 days of any Registration request of its intent
to file a Qualifying IPO of shares of common stock pursuant to an effective registration
statement under the Securities Act of 1933 within 90 days. The Company shall promptly give the
requesting Purchasers written notice of such determination, containing a general statement of the
reasons for such postponement and an approximation of the anticipated delay. If the Company shall
so postpone the filing of a registration statement, the requesting Purchasers shall have the right
to withdraw the request for registration by giving written notice to the Company within 60 days (or
within the period of postponement if such period is less than 60 days) after receipt of the notice
of postponement in the event of such withdrawal, such request shall not be deemed a request for
registration pursuant to Section 8.1(a) hereof.
(e) Other Registration Rights. Except as provided in this Agreement and such rights
that are junior and subordinate to the rights of the Purchaser, the Company will not grant to any
Persons the right to request the Company to register any equity securities of the Company, or any
securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for such securities, without the prior
written consent of the Purchaser, together with another Purchaser or Purchasers then holding in
excess of 50% of the outstanding shares of Preferred Shares, including common stock issued on the
conversion of the Preferred Shares.
(f) Transfer or Assignment of Registration Rights. The rights to cause the Company to
register securities granted to the Purchaser by the Company under this Section 8.1 may be
transferred or assigned by the Purchaser to: (i) any partner or retired partner of the Purchaser
which is a partnership, (ii) any family member or trust for the benefit of the Purchaser, or (iii)
any transferee who acquires at least 5,000,000 shares of Registrable Securities; provided however,
the Company is given written notice thereof.
(g) Upon written notice to the Purchaser, the Company shall have the right to suspend any
request for Registration indefinitely until Purchaser or Purchasers then holding in excess of 50%
of the outstanding shares of Preferred Shares requesting Registration, including common stock
issued on the conversion of the Preferred Shares, choose a representative with respect to the
coordination of any required Registration and notify the Company of the same in writing, and,
subject at all times to the terms of this Agreement, the determination of such representative shall
be binding on all Purchasers as to matters involving Registration, including but limited to matters
involving Indemnification under Section 8.7.
8.2. Piggyback Registrations.
(a) Right to Piggyback. Subject at all times to the right of holders of the Prior
Registrable Securities in the registration of such shares, the Purchaser shall be entitled to
“piggy back” registration (“Piggyback Registration”) rights on all registrations of the Company
(other than the registration of the Company’s Qualifying IPO and registrations on Form S-4 or Form
S-8 or successor forms) or on any Demand Registrations of any other investor subject to the right,
however, of the Company and its underwriters to reduce the number of shares proposed to be
registered in view of market conditions. No stockholder of the Company shall be granted Piggyback
Registration rights which would reduce the number of shares includable by the holders entitled to
Piggyback Registration rights in such registration without the consent of the holders of in excess
of 50% of the securities covered by the registration rights agreement.
(b) Piggyback Expenses. The Registration Expenses of the holders of Registrable
Securities will be paid by the Company in all Piggyback Registrations.
(c) Priority on Primary Registrations. If a Piggyback Registration is an underwritten
primary registration on behalf of the Company, and the managing underwriters advise the Company in
writing that in their opinion the number of securities requested to be included on a secondary
basis in such registration exceeds the number which can be sold in such offering without adversely
affecting the marketability of such primary or secondary offering (the “Company Offering
Quantity”), the Company will include in such registration securities in the following priority:
(i) first, the Company will include the securities the Company proposes to sell; and
(ii) second, the Company will include all Registerable Securities requested to be included by
any holders thereof, and if the number of such holders’ securities requested to be included exceeds
the Company Offering Quantity, then the Company shall include only each such requesting holder’s
pro rata share of the Company Offering Quantity (remaining after sales by the Company), based on
the amount of securities held by such holder.
8.3. Holdback Agreements. If requested by the Company, no Purchaser will sell or
otherwise dispose of its shares for a specified period (but not exceeding 180 days) following the
effective date of the Company’s Qualifying IPO; provided that all officers and directors are
similarly bound.
8.4. Registration Procedures. Whenever the Purchaser has requested that any
Registrable Securities be registered pursuant to this Agreement, the Company will use its best
efforts to effect the registration and the sale of such Registrable Securities in accordance with
the intended method of disposition thereof, and pursuant thereto the Company will as expeditiously
as possible:
(a) prepare and within 60 days (or 45 days with respect to any Short-Form Registration) after
the end of the period within which requests for registration may be given to the Company file with
the Securities and Exchange Commission a registration statement with respect to such Registrable
Securities and thereafter use its best efforts to cause such registration statement to become
effective (provided that before filing a registration statement or prospectus or any amendments or
supplements thereto, the Company will furnish to the counsel selected by the holders of a majority
of the Registrable Securities initiating such registration statement copies of all such documents
proposed to be filed, which documents will be subject to review of such counsel);
(b) prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission such amendments and
supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may
be necessary to keep such registration statement effective for a period of either (i) not less than
180 days (subject to extension pursuant to Section 8.8 (b)) or, if such registration statement
relates to an underwritten offering, such longer period as in the opinion of counsel for the
underwriters a prospectus is required by law to be delivered in
connection with sales of Registrable Securities by an underwriter or dealer or (ii) such
shorter period as will terminate when all of the securities covered by such registration statement
have been disposed of in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the seller or
sellers thereof set forth in such registration statement (but in any event not before the
expiration of any longer period required under the Securities Act), and to comply with the
provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such
registration statement until such time as all of such securities have been disposed of in
accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the seller or sellers thereof set forth in
such registration statement;
(c) furnish to each seller of Registrable Securities such number of copies of such
registration statement, each amendment and supplement thereto, the prospectus included in such
registration statement (including each preliminary prospectus) and such other documents as such
seller may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities
owned by such seller;
(d) use its best efforts to register or qualify such Registrable Securities under such other
securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as any seller reasonably requests and do any and
all other acts and things which may be reasonably necessary or advisable to enable such seller to
consummate the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities owned by such seller
(provided that the Company will not be required to (i) qualify generally to do business in any
jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this subparagraph, (ii)
subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction or (iii) consent to general service of process
in any such jurisdiction);
(e) notify each seller of such Registrable Securities, at any time when a prospectus relating
thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the happening of any event (a
“Changing Event”) as a result of which, the prospectus included in such registration statement
contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits any fact necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, and, at the
request of any such seller, the Company will as soon as possible prepare and furnish to such seller
(a “Correction Event”) a reasonable number of copies of a supplement or amendment to such
prospectus so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such Registrable Securities, such
prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any fact
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances under
which they were made;
(f) cause all such Registrable Securities to be listed on each securities exchange on which
similar securities issued by the Company are then listed and, if not so listed, to be listed on the
NASD automated quotation system;
(g) provide a transfer agent and registrar for all such Registrable Securities not later than
the effective date of such registration statement;
(h) enter into such customary agreements (including underwriting agreements in customary form)
and take all such other actions as the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities being
sold or the underwriters, if any, reasonably request in order to expedite or
facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities (including, without limitation,
effecting a stock split or a combination of shares);
(i) make available for inspection by any seller of Registrable Securities, any underwriter
participating in any disposition pursuant to such registration statement and any attorney,
accountant or other agent retained by any such seller or underwriter, all financial and other
records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company, and cause the Company’s
officers, directors, Employees and independent accountants to supply all information reasonably
requested by any such seller, underwriter, attorney, accountant or agent in connection with such
registration statement;
(j) otherwise use its best efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission, and make available to its security holders, as soon as
reasonably practicable, an earnings statement covering the period of at least twelve months
beginning with the first day of the Company’s first full calendar quarter after the effective date
of the registration statement, which earnings statement shall satisfy the provisions of Section
11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder;
(k) in the event of the issuance of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a
registration statement, or of any order suspending or preventing the use of any related prospectus
or suspending the qualification of any securities included in such registration statement for sale
in any jurisdiction, the Company will use its reasonable best efforts promptly to obtain the
withdrawal of such order;
(l) use its best efforts to obtain one or more comfort letters, dated the effective date of
such registration statement (and, if such registration includes a public offering, dated the date
of the closing under the underwriting agreement), signed by the Company’s independent public
accountants in customary form and covering such matters of the type customarily covered by comfort
letters as the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities being sold reasonably request;
and
(m) use its best efforts to provide a legal opinion of the Company’s outside counsel, dated
the effective date of such registration statement (and, if such registration includes a public
offering, dated the date of the closing under the underwriting agreement), with respect to the
registration statement, each amendment and supplement thereto, the prospectus included therein
(including the preliminary prospectus) and such other documents relating thereto in customary form
and covering such matters of the type customarily covered by legal opinions of such nature.
The Company may require each seller of Registrable Securities as to which any registration is
being effected to furnish the Company such information regarding such seller and the distribution
of such securities as the Company may from time to time reasonably request in writing.
8.5. Term of Registration Rights. The term of Registration Rights shall be the lesser
of two years after a Qualifying IPO or date after which the Purchaser may dispose of all of its
shares under Rule 144 within a 90 day period.
8.6. Registration Expenses.
(a) All expenses incident to the Company’s performance of or compliance with the registration
rights provided for under this Agreement, including, without limitation, all registration and
filing fees, fees and expenses of compliance with securities or blue sky laws, printing expenses,
messenger and delivery expenses, and fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company and all
independent certified public accountants, underwriters (excluding discounts and commissions, which
will be paid by the sellers of Registrable Securities) and other Persons retained by the Company
(all such expenses being herein called “Registration Expenses”), will be borne as provided in this
Agreement, and the Company will, in any event, pay its internal expenses (including, without
limitation, all salaries and expenses of its Employees performing legal or accounting duties), the
expense of any annual audit or quarterly review, the expense of any liability insurance and the
expenses and fees for listing the securities to be registered on each securities exchange on which
similar securities issued by the Company are then listed or on the NASD automated quotation system.
(b) To the extent Registration Expenses are not required to be paid by the Company, each
holder of Registrable Securities included in any registration hereunder will pay those Registration
Expenses allocable to the registration of such holder’s Registrable Securities so included, and any
Registration Expenses not so allocable will be borne by all sellers of Registrable Securities
included in such registration in proportion to the aggregate selling price of the securities to be
so registered (other than an opinion as to the authority of such holder to take any action in
connection with such registration).
8.7. Indemnification.
(a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, to the extent permitted by law, the
Purchaser against any Losses, joint or several, to which the Purchaser may become subject under
the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such Losses (or actions or proceedings, whether
commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue or
alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any registration statement, prospectus or
preliminary prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto or in any application or (ii) any
omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
the statements therein not misleading, and the Company will reimburse the Purchaser for any legal
or any other expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Loss,
action or proceeding; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable in any such
circumstance to the extent that any such Loss (or action or proceeding in respect thereof) arises
out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement, or omission or alleged
omission, made in such registration statement, any such prospectus or preliminary prospectus or any
amendment or supplement thereto or in any application, in reliance upon, and in conformity with,
written information prepared and furnished to the Company by the Purchaser expressly for use
therein or by the Purchaser’s failure to deliver a copy of the registration statement or prospectus
or any amendments or supplements thereto
after the Company has furnished the Purchaser with a sufficient number of copies of the same.
In connection with an underwritten offering, the Company will indemnify such underwriters, their
officers and directors and each Person who controls such underwriters (within the meaning of the
Securities Act) to the same extent as provided above with respect to the indemnification of the
Purchaser.
(b) In connection with any registration statement in which the Purchaser is participating, the
Purchaser will furnish to the Company in writing such information and affidavits as the Company
reasonably requests for use in connection with any such registration statement or prospectus and,
to the extent permitted by law, the Purchaser will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its
directors and officers and each other Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the
Securities Act) against any Losses, joint or several, to which the Company, its directors and
officers and each other controlling Person may become subject under the Securities Act or
otherwise, insofar as such Losses (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in
respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) the purchase or sale of Registrable Securities
during any period beginning upon a Changing Event (as defined in Section 8.4(e)) and ending on a
Correction Event (as defined in Section 8.4(e)), provided the Purchaser received proper written
notice of such Changing Event pursuant to Section 9.4(e), (ii) any untrue or alleged untrue
statement of material fact contained in the registration statement, prospectus or preliminary
prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto or in any application, or (iii) any omission or
alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading, but, with respect to clauses (ii) and (iii) above, only to the
extent that such untrue statement or omission is made in such registration statement, any such
prospectus or preliminary prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto or in any application,
in reliance upon and in conformity with written information prepared and furnished to the Company
by the Purchaser expressly for use therein, and the Purchaser will reimburse the Company and each
such director, officer and controlling Person for any legal or any other expenses incurred by them
in connection with investigating or defending any such Loss, action or proceeding; provided,
however, that the obligation to indemnify will be individual to the Purchaser and will be limited
to the net amount of proceeds received by the Purchaser from the sale of Registrable Securities
pursuant to such registration statement.
(c) Any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder will (i) 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 Person’s right to indemnification hereunder
to the extent such failure has not materially prejudiced the indemnifying party) and (ii) unless in
such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and
indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume
the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. Such
indemnifying party shall not, however, enter into any settlement with a party without obtaining an
unconditional release of each indemnified party by such party with respect to any and all claims
against each indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party will not be
subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent (but
such consent will not be unreasonably withheld). An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or
elects not to, assume the defense of a claim will 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 any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party
and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim.
(d) The indemnification provided for under this Agreement will 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 will survive the transfer of
securities. The Company also agrees to make such provisions, as are reasonably requested by any
indemnified party, for contribution to such party in the event the Company’s indemnification is
unavailable for any reason.
8.8. Participation in Underwritten Registrations.
(a) No Person may participate in any registration hereunder which is underwritten unless such
Person (i) agrees to sell such Person’s securities on the basis provided in any underwriting
arrangements approved by the Person or Persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements
(including, without limitation, pursuant to the terms of any over-allotment or “green shoe” option
requested by the managing underwriter(s), provided that the Purchaser will not be required to sell
more than the number of Registrable Securities that such holder has requested the Company to
include in any registration) and (ii) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of
attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents reasonably required under the
terms of such underwriting arrangements.
(b) Each Person that is participating in any registration hereunder agrees that, upon receipt
of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section
8.4(e) above, such Person will forthwith discontinue the disposition of its Registrable Securities
pursuant to the registration statement until such Person’s receipt of the copies of a supplemented
or amended prospectus as contemplated by such Section 8.4(e). In the event the Company shall give
any such notice, the applicable time period mentioned in Section 8.4(b) during which a Registration
Statement is to remain effective shall be extended by the number of days during the period from and
including the date of the giving of such notice pursuant to this paragraph to and including the
date when each seller of a Registrable Security covered by such registration statement shall have
received the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 8.4(e).
8.9. Current Public Information. At all times after the Company has filed a
registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the requirements of
either the Securities Act or the Securities Exchange Act, the Company will file all reports
required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Securities Exchange Act and the rules
and regulations adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder, and will use
commercially reasonable best efforts to take such further action as the Purchaser may reasonably
request, all to the extent required to enable the Purchaser to sell Registrable Securities pursuant
to Rule 144 adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act (as such
rule may be amended from time to time) or any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the
Securities and Exchange Commission.
8.10. Adjustment Affecting Registrable Securities. Except as otherwise provided
herein, the Company will not take any action, or permit any change to occur, with respect to its
securities which would materially and adversely affect the ability of the Purchaser to include such
Registrable Securities in a registration undertaken pursuant to this Agreement or which would
adversely affect the marketability of such Registrable Securities in any such registration
(including, without limitation, effecting a stock split or a combination of shares).
