1.2 Request for Registration.
(a) By RFC.
(i) If the Company shall receive at any time after the earlier of
(x) January 1, 2000, or (y) six months after the effective date of the first
registration statement for a public offering of securities of the Company (other
than a registration statement relating either to the sale of securities to
employees of the Company pursuant to a stock option, stock purchase or similar
plan or a SEC Rule 145 transaction), a written request from RFC that the Company
file a registration statement under the Act covering the registration of the
Registrable Shares held by RFC, then the Company shall: effect as soon as
practicable, and in any event within 60 days after the receipt of such request,
the registration under the Act of all Registrable Securities held by RFC which
RFC requests to be registered, subject to the limitations of subsection
1.2(a)(ii).
(ii) If RFC intends to distribute the Registrable Securities
covered by its request by means of an underwriting, it shall so advise the
Company as part of
3
its request made pursuant to subsection 1.2(a)(i). For so long as the ▇▇▇▇▇▇
Agreement obligates the Company to offer ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Brothers Inc. the right to be
the underwriter of the Company's registrations, such right shall be offered to
▇▇▇▇▇▇ Brothers Inc. Subject to the foregoing, the underwriter will be selected
by RFC and shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company, and must be at least a
regional firm with a history of leading or co-leading securities issuances with
major or bulge bracket firms. RFC shall (together with the Company as provided
in subsection 1.4(e)) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form
with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this subsection 1.2(a), if, in connection
with the Company's initial public offering, the underwriter advises RFC in
writing that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of shares to
be underwritten, then the number of shares of Registrable Securities that may be
included in the underwriting shall be so limited.
(iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company
shall furnish to RFC a certificate signed by the Chief Executive Officer of the
Company stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the
Company, such registration would reasonably be expected to have a material
adverse effect on any proposal or plan by the Company (A) to engage in any
acquisition of assets (other than in the ordinary course of business) or any
stock purchase, merger, consolidation, tender offer, reorganization or similar
transaction, or (B) to execute transactions of private or publicly traded
asset-backed issuances or commercial paper offerings, the Company shall have the
right to defer taking action with respect to such filing for a period of not
more than 90 days after receipt of the request of RFC; provided, however, that
the Company may not utilize this right more than once in any twelve-month
period.
(iv) In addition, the Company shall not be obligated
to effect, or to take any action to effect, any registration pursuant to this
subsection 1.2(a):
(A) If the total value of the Registrable
Securities to be offered to the public is less than $5,000,000, (unless the
total value of RFC's remaining Registrable Securities is less than $ 5,000,000
in which case this provision 1.2(a)(iv)(A) shall not apply to RFC);
(B) During the period starting with the date 30
days prior to the Company's good faith estimate of the date of filing of, and
ending on a date 180 days after the effective date of, a registration subject to
Section 1.3 hereof; provided that the Company is actively employing in good
faith all reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become
effective; or
(C) If RFC proposes to dispose of shares of
Registrable Securities that may be immediately registered on Form S-3 pursuant
to a request made pursuant to Section 1.12 below.
(v) No other Person shall have any right to
participate in a registration requested by RFC pursuant to this subsection
1.2(a).
4
(vi) If the Company shall receive at any time after the
occurrence of an Event of Default (as such term is defined in the RFC
Agreement), a written request from RFC that the Company file a registration
statement under the Act covering the registration of the Registrable Securities
held by RFC, then the Company shall effect as soon as practicable, and in any
event within sixty (60) days after the receipt of such request, the registration
under the Act of all Registrable Securities held by RFC which RFC requests to be
registered. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this
Agreement, none of the other Holders, the Founders or the Company shall have any
right to have their Registrable Securities covered by such Registration
Statement and subsections 1.2(a)(iv)(A) and (B) shall not apply to a RFC written
request under this subsection 1.2(a)(vi), but subsections 1.2 (a)(iv)(C) shall
apply. If RFC intends to distribute the Registrable Securities covered by its
request by means of an underwriting, it shall so advise the Company as a part
of its request made pursuant to subsection 1.2(a)(vi). The underwriter will be
selected by the Company, shall be reasonably acceptable to RFC, and must be at
least a regional firm with a history of leading or co-leading securities
issuances with major or bulge bracket firms. RFC shall (together with the
Company as provided in subsection 1.4(e)) enter into an underwriting agreement
in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such
underwriting.
(b) By Initiating Shareholders.
(i) If the Company shall receive at any time after the
earlier of (x) January 1, 2000, or (y) six months after the effective date of
the first registration statement for a public offering of securities of the
Company (other than a registration statement relating either to the sale of
securities to employees of the Company pursuant to a stock option, stock
purchase or similar plan or a SEC Rule 145 transaction), a written request from
the Initiating Holders that the Company file a registration statement under the
Act covering the registration of the Registrable Shares held by such Initiating
Holders, then the Company shall:
(A) within ten days after the receipt thereof, give
written notice of such request to all Holders; and
(B) effect as soon as practicable, and in any event
within 60 days after the receipt of such request, the registration under the
Act of all Registrable Securities held by such Holders which the Holders request
to be registered, subject to the limitations of subsection 1.2(b)(ii), within
20 days after the mailing of such notice by the Company in accordance with
Section 4.5.
(ii) If the Initiating Holders intends 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
subsection 1.2(b)(ii) and the Company shall include such information in the
written notice referred to in subsection 1.2(b)(ii). The underwriter will be
selected by the Company and shall be reasonably acceptable to a majority in
interest of the Initiating Holders. In such event, the right of any Holder to
include such Holder's 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
5
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
(together with the Company as provided in subsection 1.4(e)) enter into an
underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters
selected for such underwriting. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
subsection 1.2(b), if the underwriter advises the Initiating Holders in writing
that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of shares to be
underwritten, then the Initiating Holders shall so advise all Holders of
Registrable Securities which would otherwise be underwritten pursuant hereto,
and the number of shares of Registrable Securities that may be included in the
underwriting shall be allocated among all Holders thereof, including the
Initiating Holders, in proportion (as nearly as practicable) to the amount of
Registrable Securities of the Company owned by each Holder; provided, however,
that the number of shares of Registrable Securities to be included in such
underwriting shall not be reduced unless all other securities are first entirely
excluded from the underwriting and provided further that Registrable Securities
to be registered on behalf of the Founders shall be excluded in their entirety
from such underwriting prior to the securities of any other Holder being
excluded.
(iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company shall
furnish to Holders requesting a registration statement pursuant to this
subsection 1.2(b), a certificate signed by the Chief Executive Officer of the
Company stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the
Company, such registration would reasonably be expected to have a material
adverse effect on any proposal or plan by the Company (A) to engage in any
acquisition of assets (other than in the ordinary course of business) or any
stock purchase, merger, consolidation, tender offer, reorganization or similar
transaction, or (B) to execute transactions of private or publicly traded
asset-backed issuances or commercial paper offerings, the Company shall have the
right to defer taking action with respect to such filing for a period of not
more than 90 days after receipt of the request of the Initiating Holders;
provided, however, that the Company may not utilize this right more than once in
any twelve-month period.
(iv) In addition, the Company shall not be obligated to
effect, or to take any action to effect, any registration pursuant to this
subsection 1.2(b):
(A) After the Company has effected two registrations
pursuant to this subsection 1.2(b) and such registrations have been declared or
ordered effective;
(B) If the total value of the Registrable Securities
to be offered to the public is less than $5,000,000;
(C) During the period starting with the date 30 days
prior to the Company's good faith estimate of the date of filing of, and ending
on a date 180 days after the effective date of, a registration subject to
Section 1.3 hereof; provided that the Company is actively employing in good
faith all reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become
effective; or
6
(D) If the Initiating Holders propose to dispose of shares
of Registrable Securities that may be immediately registrered on Form S-3
pursuant to a request made pursuant to Section 1.12 below.
(c) By Cargill. If the Company shall receive at any time after the
occurrence of an Exercisable Termination Event (as such term is defined in the
Cargill Agreement), a written request from Cargill that the Company file a
registration statement under the Act covering the registration of the
Registrable Securities held by Cargill, then the Company shall effect as soon as
practicable, and in any event within sixty (60) days after the receipt of such
request, the registration under the Act of all Registrable Securities held by
Cargill which Cargill requests to be registered. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary set forth in this Agreement, none of the other Holders, the Founders or
the Company shall have any right to have their Registration Securities covered
by such Registration Statement and subsections 1.2(b)(iv)(A) and (B) shall not
apply to a Cargill written request under this subsection 1.2(c), but
subsections 1.2(b)(iv)(C) and (D) shall apply. If Cargill intends to
distribute the Registrable Securities covered by its request by means of an
underwriting, it shall so advise the Company as a part of its request made
pursuant to this subsection 1.2(c). The underwriter will be selected by the
Company, shall be reasonably acceptable to Cargill, and must be at least a
regional firm with a history of leading or co-leading securities issuances with
major or bulge bracket firms. Cargill shall (together with the Company as
provided in subsection 1.4(e)) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary
form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting.
(d) If a request for registration has been received by the Company
pursuant to subsection 1.2(a), (b) or (c), including any registration so
requested that has been deferred pursuant to the provisions of Section 1.2(a)
(iii) or 1.2(b)(iii)(a "Pending Registration"), no other registration requested
pursuant to subsection (1.2(a), (b) or (c) shall be permitted to be declared
effective until 180 days following the effective date of the Pending
Registration.
1.3 Company Registration. If (but without any obligation to do so) the
Company proposes to register any of its stock or other securities under the Act
in connection with the public offering of such securities solely for cash (other
than a registration relating solely to the sale of securities to participants in
a Company stock plan, a registration on any form which does not include
substantially the same information as would be required to be included in a
registration statement covering the sale of the Registrable Securities or a
registration in which the only Common Stock being registered is Common Stock
issuable upon conversion of debt securities which are also being registered),
the Company shall, at such time, promptly give each Holder, and the Founders,
written notice of such registration. Upon the written request of each Holder
given within 20 days after mailing of such notice by the Company in accordance
with Section 4.5, the Company shall, subject to the provisions of Section 1.8,
cause to be registered under the Act all of the Registrable Securities that each
such Holder has requested to be registered.
1.4 Obligations of the Company. Whenever required under this Section 1 to
effect the registration of any Registrable Securities, the Company shall, as
expeditiously as reasonably possible:
7
(a) Prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement with
respect to such Registrable Securities and use its best 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 a period of up to 120 days or until the
distribution contemplated in the registration statement has been completed;
provided, however, that (i) such 120-day period shall be extended for a period
of time equal to the period the Holder refrains from selling any securities
included in such registration at the request of an underwriter of Common Stock
(or other securities) of the Company; and (ii) in the case of any registration
of Registrable Securities on Form S-3 which are intended to be offered on a
continuous or delayed basis, such 120-day period shall be extended, if
necessary, to keep the registration statement effective until all such
Registrable Securities are sold, provided that Rule 415, or any successor rule
under the Act, permits an offering on a continuous or delayed basis, and
provided further that applicable rules under the Act governing the obligation
to file a post-effective amendment permit, in lieu of filing a post-effective
amendment which (I) includes any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
Act or (II) reflects facts or events representing a material or fundamental
change in the information set forth in the registration statement, the
incorporation by reference of information required to be included in (I) and
(II) above to be contained in periodic reports filed pursuant to Section 13 or
15(d) of the 1934 Act in the registration statement.
(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 keep such registration statement
effective and to comply with the provisions of the Act with respect to the
disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement during the
period(s) set forth in subsection 1.4(a) above.
(c) Furnish to the Holders such numbers of copies of a
prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, in conformity with the
requirements of the Act, and such other documents as they may reasonably request
in order to facilitate the disposition of Registrable Securities owned by them.
(d) Use its best 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, unless the Company is
already subject to service in such jurisdictions, unless the Company is already
subject to service in such jurisdiction and except as may be required by the
Act.
(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 underwriter 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
8
under the 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 and, at the request of any such Holder,
the Company shall prepare and furnish to such Holder 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
shall not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any
fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading.
(g) Cause all such Registrable Securities registered pursuant
hereunder to be listed on a securities exchange or the National Association of
Securities Dealers ("NASD") automated quotation system and, if listed on the
NASD automated quotation system, use its best efforts to secure designation of
all such Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement as a
"national market system security" of The Nasdaq Stock Market within the meaning
of Rule 11 Aa2-1 of the Securities and Exchange Commission or, failing that, to
secure The Nasdaq Stock Market's authorization for such Registrable Securities
and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to arrange for at least
two market makers to register as such with respect to such Registrable
Securities with the NASD, or, if similar securities issued by the Company are
then listed, on the same securities exchange as the similar securities.
(h) Provide a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable
Securities registered pursuant hereto and a CUSIP number for all such
Registrable Securities, in each case not later than the effective date of such
registration.
(i) Furnish, at the request of any Holder requesting
registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 1, on the date
that such Registrable Securities are delivered to the underwriters for sale in
connection with a registration pursuant to this Section 1, 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 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, addressed to the underwriters, if any, and to the Holders requesting
registration of Registrable Securities and (ii) a letter dated 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, addressed to the underwriters,
if any, and to the Holders requesting registration of Registrable Securities.
(j) 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, agents, representatives and independent
accountants to supply all information reasonably requested by any such seller,
underwriter, attorney, accountant or agent in connection with such registration
statement.
9
(k) 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 12 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.
(l) Permit any Holder of Registrable Securities which Holder, in
its sole and exclusive judgment, might be deemed to be an underwriter or a
controlling person of the Company, to participate in the preparation of such
registration or comparable statement and to require the insertion therein of
material, furnished to the Company in writing, which in the reasonable judgment
of such Holder and its counsel should be included.
(m) 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 shall use it best efforts promptly to obtain the
withdrawal of such order.
(n) Use its best efforts to cause such Registrable Securities
covered by such registration statement to be registered with or approved by such
other governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary to enable the
sellers thereof to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities.
Before filing a registration statement or prospectus or any amendments or
supplements thereto, the Company shall furnish to the counsel selected by the
Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities covered by such registration
statement copies of all such documents proposed to be filed, which documents
shall be subject to the review and comment of such counsel. In addition, if any
such registration or comparable statement refers to any such Holder by name or
otherwise as the holder of any securities of the Company, such Holder shall have
the right to require (i) the insertion therein of language, in form and
substance satisfactory to such Holder and presented to the Company in writing,
to the effect that the holding by such Holder of such securities is not to be
construed as a recommendation by such Holder of the investment quality of the
Company's securities covered thereby, and that such holding does not imply that
such Holder shall assist in meeting any future financial requirements of the
Company, or (ii) in the event that such reference to such Holder by name or
otherwise is not required by the Securities Act or any similar federal or state
statute then in force, the deletion of the reference to such Holder; provided
that, with respect to this clause (ii), such Holder shall furnish to the Company
an opinion of counsel to such effect, which opinion and counsel shall be
reasonably satisfactory to the Company.
1.5 Furnish Information.
(a) It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the
Company to take any action pursuant to this Section 1 with respect to the
Registrable Securities of any selling Holder that such Holder shall furnish to
the Company such information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held
by it, and the intended method of disposition of such securities as
10
the Company may reasonably request in writing and as shall be required to effect
the registration of such Holder's Registrable Securities.
(b) The Company shall have no obligation with respect to any
registration requested pursuant to subsection 1.2(b) or Section 1.12 if, due to
the operation of subsection 1.2(b)(ii), the number of shares or the anticipated
aggregate offering price of the Registrable Securities to be 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 subsection 1.2(b) or subsection
1.12(b)(2), whichever is applicable.
1.6 Expenses of Demand Registration. The Company shall bear all expenses
other that underwriting discounts and commissions incurred in connection with
any demand registration under Section 1.2(a) or (c) and one other demand
registration, pursuant to subsection 1.2(b), including (without limitation) all
registration, filing and qualification fees, printers' and accounting fees, fees
and disbursements of counsel for the Company and the reasonable fees and
disbursements of one counsel for the selling Holders. However, the Company shall
not be required to pay for any expenses of any registration proceeding begun
pursuant to subsection 1.2 if the registration request is subsequently withdrawn
at the request of, respectively, (i) RFC, (ii) the Holders of a majority of the
Registrable Securities to be registered (in which case such Holders shall bear
such expenses pro rata, based on the ratio that the number of each Holder's
Registrable Securities to have been included in such registration bears to the
total number of Registrable Securities to have been included in such
registration by all such Holders), unless the Holders of a majority of the
Registrable Securities agree to forfeit their right to one demand registration
pursuant to subsection 1.2(b), or (iii) Cargill; provided further, however, that
if at the time of such withdrawal, the Holders have learned of a material
adverse change in the condition, business, or prospects of the Company from that
known to the holders at the time of their request and have withdrawn the request
with reasonable promptness following disclosure by the Company of such material
adverse change, then the Holders shall not be required to pay any of such
expenses and shall retain their rights pursuant to Section 1.2.
1.7 Expenses of Company Registration. The Company shall bear and pay all
expenses incurred in connection with any registration, filing or qualification
of Registrable Securities with respect to the registrations pursuant to Section
1.3 for each Holder (which right may be assigned as provided in Section 1.13),
including (without limitation) all registration, filing, and qualification fees,
printers and accounting fees relating or apportionable thereto and the fees and
disbursements of one counsel for the selling Holders selected by them, but
excluding underwriting discounts and commissions relating to Registrable
Securities.
1.8 Underwriting Requirements - Company Registration. In connection with
any offering involving an underwriting of shares of the Company's capital stock
pursuant to Section 1.3, the Company shall not be required under Section 1.3 to
include any of the Holders' securities in such underwriting unless they accept
the terms of the underwriting as agreed upon between the Company and the
underwriters selected by it (or by other persons entitled to select the
underwriters). If the total amount of securities, including Registrable
Securities, requested by shareholders to be included in such offering exceeds
the amount of securities that the
13
underwriters determine, in their opinion, provided to the Company in writing
(with a copy to each Holder requesting registration of Registrable Securities),
that can be sold in an orderly manner in such offering within a price range
acceptable to the Company, then the Company shall be required to include in the
offering only that number of such securities, including Registrable Securities,
which the underwriters determine, in their opinion, provided to the Company in
writing (with a copy to each Holder requesting registration of Registrable
Securities), that can be sold in an orderly manner such offering within a price
range acceptable to the Company (the securities so included to be apportioned
first, up to the full amount of Registrable Securities of RFC requested to be
included in such registration, and then pro rata among the other selling
shareholders according to the total amount of securities entitled to be included
therein owned by each such other selling shareholder or in such other
proportions as shall mutually be agreed to by such other selling shareholders)
provided, however, that the number of shares of Registrable Securities to be
included in such underwriting shall not be reduced unless all other securities
are first entirely excluded from the underwriting; and provided further that (a)
Registrable Securities held by Holders other than RFC and by Founders shall be
excluded from such underwriting prior to any Registrable Securities of RFC being
excluded, and (b) Registrable Securities held by Founders shall be excluded from
such underwriting prior to any Registrable Securities of any other Holder being
excluded. In no event shall the amount of securities of the selling Holders
included in the offering exceed 33% of the total amount of securities included
in such offering. In addition, if such offering is the initial public offering
of the Company's securities the Registrable Securities offered for registration
by the Holders may all be excluded if the underwriters make the determination
described above and no other shareholder's securities are included. For purposes
of the preceding parenthetical concerning apportionment, for any selling
shareholder which is a holder of Registrable Securities and which is a
partnership or corporation, the partners, retired partners and shareholders of
such holder, or the estates and family members of any such partners and retired
partners and any trusts for the benefit of any of the foregoing persons shall be
deemed to be a single "selling shareholders", and any pro-rata reduction with
respect to such "selling shareholder" shall be based upon the aggregate amount
of shares carrying registration rights owned by all entities and individuals
included in such "selling shareholder", as defined in this sentence.
1.9 Delay of Registration. No Holder shall have any right to obtain or
seek an injunction restraining or otherwise delaying any registration statement
filed with and declared effective by the SEC as the result of any controversy
that might arise with respect to the interpretation or implementation of the
provisions of this Section 1.
1.10 Indemnification. In the event any Registrable Securities are included
in a registration statement under this Section 1:
(a) To the full extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify
and hold harmless each Holder, any underwriter (as defined in the Act) for such
Holder and each person, if any, who controls such Holder or underwriter within
the meaning of the Act or the 1934 Act, against any losses, claims, damages, or
liabilities (joint or several) to which they may become subject under the Act,
or the 1934 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"): (i) any
12
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 Act, the 1934
Act, any state securities law or any rule or regulation promulgated under the
Act, or the 1934 Act or any state securities law; and the Company will pay to
each such Holder, underwriter or controlling person, 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 subsection 1.10(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 any such Holder, underwriter or controlling person.
(b) To the extent permitted by law, each selling Holder will
indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its
officers who has signed the registration statement, each person, if any, who
controls the Company within the meaning of the Act, any underwriter, any other
Holder selling securities in such registration statement and any controlling
person of any such underwriter or other Holder, against any losses, claims,
damages, or liabilities (joint or several) to which any of the foregoing persons
may become subject, under the Act, or the 1934 Act or other federal state law,
insofar as such losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (or actions in respect
thereto) arise out of or are based upon 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 expressly for
use in connection with such registration; and each such Holder will pay, any
legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by any person intended to be
indemnified pursuant to this subsection 1.10(b), in connection with
investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action;
provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this subsection
1.10(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, that,
in no event shall any indemnity under this subsection 1.10(b) exceed the gross
proceeds from the offering received by such Holder.
(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this
Section 1.10 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 1.10, 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
(together with all other indemnified parties which may be represented without
conflict by one counsel) shall have the right to retain one separate counsel,
with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if
representation of such indemnified party by
13
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 prejudicial to its ability to defend such
action, shall relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the
indemnified party under this Section 1.10, 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
1.10.
(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 1.10 is held
by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party
with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense referred to
therein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified
party hereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such
indemnified party as a result of such loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense
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 statements or omissions that resulted in such loss,
liability, claim, damage, or expense as well as any other relevant equitable
considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the
indemnified party shall be determined 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 omission.
(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the provisions
on indemnification and contribution contained in the underwriting agreement
entered into in connection with the underwritten public offering are in conflict
with the foregoing provisions, the provisions in the underwriting agreement
shall control.
(f) The obligations of the Company and Holders under this Section
1.10 shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in a
registration statement under this Section 1, and otherwise.
1.11 Reports Under Securities Exchange Act of 1934. With a view to making
available to the Holders the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated under the Act and
any other rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit a Holder to
sell securities of the Company to the public without registration or pursuant to
a registration on Form S-3, the Company agrees to:
(a) make and keep public information available, as those terms are
understood and defined in SEC Rule 144, at all times after 90 days after the
effective date of the first registration statement filed by the Company for the
offering of its securities to the general public;
(b) take such action, including the voluntary registration of its
Common Stock under Section 12 of the 1934 Act, as is necessary to enable the
Holders to utilize Form S-3 for the sale of their Registrable Securities, such
action to be taken as soon as
14
practicable after the end of the fiscal year in which the first registration
statement filed by the Company for the offering of its securities to the general
public is declared effective;
(c) file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other
documents required of the Company under the Act and the 1934 Act; and
(d) furnish to any Holder, so long as the Holder owns any
Registrable Securities, forthwith upon request (i) a written statement by the
Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements of SEC Rule 144 (at
any time after 90 days after the effective date of the first registration
statement filed by the Company), the Act and the 1934 Act (at any time after it
has become subject to such reporting requirements), or that it qualifies as a
registrant whose securities may be resold pursuant to Form S-3 (at any time
after it so qualifies), (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly
report of the Company and such other reports and documents so filed by the
Company, and (iii) such other information as may be reasonably requested in
availing any Holder of any rule or regulation of the SEC which permits the
selling of any such securities without registration or pursuant to such form.
1.12 Form S-3 Registration. In case the Company shall receive from any
Holder or Holders (excluding Founders) a written request or requests that the
Company effect a registration on Form S-3, including a request that the Company
effect a registration pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act, provided
that any such registration shall terminate after six months or the sale of all
Registrable Securities registered thereunder, whichever first occurs, 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 (including
Founders); 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 distridution 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 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 1.12: (1) if Form S-3 is
not available for such offering by the Holders; (2) 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 (net of any
underwriters' discounts or commissions) of less than $1,000,000; (3) if the
Company shall furnish to the Holders a certificate signed by the President of
the Company stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors
of the Company, such registration would reasonably be expected to have a
material adverse effect on any proposal or plan by the Company (A) to engage in
any acquisition of assets (other than in the ordinary course of business) or any
stock purchase, merger, consolidation, tender offer, reorganization or similar
transaction, or (B) to execute transactions of private or publicly traded
asset-backed issuances or commercial paper offerings, in which event the Company
shall have
15
the right to defer the filing of the Form S-3 registration for a period of not
more ten 90 days after receipt of the request of the Holder of Holders under the
Section 1.12 provided however, that the company shall not utilize this right
more than once in any twelve-month period; (4) if the Company has, within the
six-month period preceding the date of such request, already effected a
registration of Form S-3 for the Holders pursuant to this Section 1.12; (5) in
any particular jurisdiction on 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; or (6) the Company has filed a
registration statement within the past 180 days.
(c) Subject to the foregoing, the Company shall file a 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. All expenses incurred in connection with registrations requested
by RFC pursuant to this Section 1.12 or in connection with two registrations
requested by Holders other than RFC pursuant to this Section 1.12, including
(without limitation) all registration, filing, qualification, printer's and
accounting fees and the reasonable fees and disbursements of one designated
counsel for the selling Holder or Holders and counsel for the Company, but
excluding any underwriters' discounts or commissions associated with Registrable
Securities, shall be borne by the Company. All expenses incurred in connection
with any additional registrations requested by Holders other than RFC pursuant
to this Section 1.12 following the first two (2) such registrations, including
(without limitation) all registration, filing, qualification, printer's and
accounting fees and the reasonable fees and disbursements of one designated
counsel for the selling Holder or Holders and counsel for the Company, but
excluding any underwriters' discounts or commissions associated with Registrable
Securities, shall be borne pro rata by the Holder or Holders participating in
the Form S-3 Registration; provided, however, that in the event that RFC shall
participate in such Form S-3 Registration, any expenses that RFC would otherwise
be required to bear pursuant to this subsection 1.12(c) shall be borne by the
Company. Registrations effected pursuant to this Section 1.12 shall not be
counted as demands for registration or registrations effected pursuant to
Sections 1.2 or 1.3, respectively.
1.13 Assignment of Registration Rights. The rights to cause the Company
to register Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 1 may be assigned
(but only with all related obligations) by a Holder to a transferee or assignee
of such securities who, after such assignment or transfer, holds at least
250,000 shares of Registrable Securities (subject to appropriate adjustment for
stock splits, stock dividends, combinations and other recapitalizations),
provided: (a) the Company is, within a reasonable time after such transfer,
furnished with 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; (b) such transferee or assignee agrees in writing to be bound by
and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including without
limitation the provisions of Section 1.15 below; and (c) such assignment shall
be effective only if immediately following such transfer the further disposition
of such securities by the transferee or assignee is restricted under the Act.
For the purposes of determining the number of shares of Registrable Securities
held by a transferee or assignee, the holdings of transferees and assignees of a
partnership who are partners or retired partners of such partnership (including
spouses and ancestors, lineal descendants and siblings of such partners or
spouses who acquire Registrable Securities by gift, will or intestate
succession) shall be
16
aggregated together and with the partnership; provided that all assignees and
transferees who would not qualify individually for assignment of registration
rights shall have a single attorney-in-fact for the purpose of exercising any
rights, receiving notices or taking any action under this Section 1.
1.14 Limitations on Subsequent Registration Rights. After the date of
this Agreement, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the
Holders of a majority of the outstanding Registrable Securities, enter into any
agreement with any holder or prospective holder of any securities of the Company
which would allow such holder or prospective holder (a) to include such
securities in any registration filed under subsection 1.2(a) or (b) or Section
1.3 hereof, unless under the terms of such agreement, such holder or prospective
holder may include such securities in any such registration only to the extent
that the inclusion of such holder's securities will not reduce the amount of the
Registrable Securities of the Holders which is included, or (b) to make a demand
registration which could result in such registration statement being declared
effective prior to the earlier of any of the dates set forth in subsection
1.2(a)(i) or (b)(i) or within 120 days of the effective date of any registration
effected pursuant to Section 1.3. Each of the Investors, as applicable, has
previously consented to the inclusion as Investors under the Original Agreement,
amended as applicable, of each Investor who or which was not an Investor under
the Original Agreement, and does hereby consent to the inclusion of RFC as an
Investor under this Agreement.
1.15 "Holdback" Agreements.
(a) Each Investor, Founder and Holder hereby agrees that,
during the period of duration specified by the Company and an underwriter of
Common Stock or other securities of the Company, following the date of the first
sale to the public pursuant to a registration statement of the Company filed
under the Act, it shall not, to the extent requested by the Company and such
underwriter, directly or indirectly sell, offer to sell, contract to sell
(including, without limitation, any short sale), grant any option to purchase or
otherwise transfer or dispose of (other than to donees who agree to be similarly
bound) any securities of the Company held by it at any time during such period
except Common Stock included in such registration; provided, however, that:
(i) with respect to the first such registration statement
of the Company which covers Common Stock (or other securities) to be sold on its
behalf to the public in an underwritten offering such market stand-off time
period shall not exceed 180 days;
(ii) with respect to any subsequent registration statement
such market stand-off time period shall not exceed 90 days; and
(iii) all officers and directors of the Company and all
other persons with registration rights (whether or not pursuant to this
Agreement) enter into similar agreements.
In order to enforce the foregoing covenant, the Company may impose stop-transfer
instructions with respect to the Registrable Securities of each Investor (and
the shares or securities of every
17
other person subject to the foregoing restriction) until the end of such period.
If requested to do so by the Company, each Investor shall execute an
underwriter's letter in the customary form prior to the registration of the
Company's initial public offering. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
obligations described in this subsection 1.15(a) shall not apply to a
registration relating solely to employee benefit plans on Form S-1 or Form S-8
or similar forms which may be promulgated in the future, or a registration
relating solely to a Commission Rule 145 transaction on Form S-15 or similar
forms which may be promulgated in the future.
(b) The Company (i) shall not effect any public sale or
distribution of its equity securities, or any securities convertible into or
exchangeable or exercisable for such securities, during the seven days prior to
and during the 90-day period beginning on the effective date of any underwritten
registration under Sections 1.2 or 1.12 hereof (except as part of such
underwritten offering or pursuant to registrations on Form S-8 or any successor
form), unless the underwriters managing the registered offering otherwise agree.
1.16 Termination of Registration Rights. No Holder shall be entitled
to exercise any right provided for in this Section 1 after five years following
the consummation of the sale of securities pursuant to a registration statement
filed by the Company under the Act in connection with the initial firm
commitment underwritten offering of its securities to the general public. The
foregoing notwithstanding, no Holder shall be entitled to exercise any right
provided for in this Section 1 following the consummation of the sale of
securities pursuant to a registration statement filed by the Company under the
Act in connection with the initial firm commitment underwritten offering of its
securities to the general public if the Registrable Securities held by such
Holder may be sold without restriction pursuant to Rule 144(k) provided,
however, that such Holder's Form S-3 registration rights under Section 1.12
shall be unaffected by this Section 1.16.
2. Covenants of the Company.
2.1 Delivery of Financial Statements. So long as an Investor holds
at least 250,000 shares (with such minimum number subject to appropriate
adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, combinations or other
recapitalizations) of Registrable Securities or securities convertible into
Registrable Securities (a "Major Investor"), and subject to each Major Investor
executing a confidentiality agreement, the Company shall deliver to each Major
Investor:
(a) as soon as practicable, but in any event within 90 days after
the end of each fiscal year of the Company, financial statements for such fiscal
year including, but not limited to, a balance sheet of the Company and statement
of shareholder's equity as of the end of such year, and a schedule as to the
sources and applications of funds for such year, such year-end financial reports
to be in reasonable detail, prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles ("GAAP"), and audited and certified by independent public
accountants of nationally recognized standing selected by the Company;
(b) within 30 days of the end of each monthly accounting period,
unaudited monthly reports including, but not limited to, a balance sheet, profit
and loss
18
statement, cash flow analysis, and comparison to year earlier results and to
projected results on a monthly and year-to-date basis;
(c) as soon as practicable, but in any event 30 days prior to the
end of each fiscal year, a budget and business plan for the next fiscal year,
prepared on a monthly basis, including balance sheets and sources and
applications of funds statements for such months and, as soon as prepared, any
other budgets or revised budgets prepared by the Company;
(d) with respect to the financial statements called for in
subsection (b) of this Section 2.1, an instrument executed by the Chief
Financial Officer or President of the Company and certifying that such
financials were prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied with prior
practice for earlier periods (with the exception of footnotes that may be
required by GAAP) and fairly present the financial condition of the Company and
its results of operation for the period specified, subject to year-end audit
adjustment;
(e) such other information relating to the financial condition,
business, prospects or corporate affairs of the Company as the Major Investor
may from time to time request; provided, however, that the Company shall not be
obligated under this subsection (e) or any other subsection of Section 2.1 to
provide information which it deems in good faith to be a trade secret or similar
confidential information.
2.2 Inspection. The Company shall permit each Investor, at such
Investor's expense and subject to the Investor signing a confidentiality
agreement, to visit and inspect the Company's properties, to examine its books
of accounts and records and to discuss the Company's affairs, finances and
accounts with its officers, all at such reasonable times as may be requested by
the Investor; provided however, that the Company shall not be obligated pursuant
to this Section 2.2 to provide access to any information which it reasonably
considers to be a trade secret or similar confidential information.
2.3 Observation Rights. Cargill shall have the right to have two (2)
observers attend meetings of the Company's Board of Directors, and Cargill,
Lehman and RFC shall be provided notice of all regularly scheduled and special
meetings of the Company's Board of Directors as well as to be copied
contemporaneously with Board members of all unanimous written consents by the
Board. Cargill, Lehman and RFC shall also receive copies of all notices and
other communications sent to Investors or the Board.
2.3 Right of First Offer. Subject to the terms and conditions
specified in this paragraph 2.4, the Company hereby grants each Major Investor a
right of first offer with respect to future sales by the Company of its Shares
(as hereinafter defined). For purposes of this Section 2.4, Major Investor
includes any general partners and affiliates of a Major Investor. A Major
Investor shall be entitled to apportion the right of first offer hereby granted
it among itself and its partners and affiliates in such proportions as it deems
appropriate. Each time the Company proposes to offer any shares of, or
securities convertible into, or exercisable for any shares of, any class of its
capital stock ("Shares"), the Company shall first make an offering of such
Shares to each Major Investor in accordance with the following provisions:
19
(a) The Company shall deliver a notice by certified mail
("Notice") to each Major Investor stating (i) its bona fide intention to offer
such Shares, (ii) the number of such Shares to be offered, and (iii) the price
and terms, if any, upon which it proposes to offer such Shares.
(b) By providing written notice to the Company within 20 calendar
days after its receipt of the Notice, each Major Investor may elect to purchase
or obtain, at the price and on the terms specified in the Notice, up to that
portion of such Shares which equals the proportion that the number of shares of
Common Stock then held or issuable upon the exercise or conversion of any
convertible securities or securities exercisable for Common Stock, including
the Series A Preferred Stock, the Cargill Warrant, the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Warrant and the
Convertible Debenture, then held by such Major Investor bears to the total
number of shares of Common Stock of the Company then outstanding (assuming full
conversion and exercise of all convertible or exercisable securities). The
Company shall promptly, in writing, inform each Major Investor which purchases
all the shares available to it ("Fully-Exercising Major Investor") of any other
Major Investor's failure to do likewise. During the ten-day period commencing
after receipt of such information, each Fully-Exercising Major Investor shall
be entitled to obtain that portion of the Shares which is equal to the
proportion that the number of shares of Common Stock issued and held, or
issuable upon conversion or exercise of the Series A Preferred Stock, the
Cargill Warrant, the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Warrant, the Convertible Debenture and any other
securities pursuant to which Common Stock will be issued on exercise then held,
by such Fully-Exercising Major Investor bears to the total number of shares of
the Company's capital stock issued and held, or issuable on conversion or
exercise, by all Fully Exercising Major Investors.
(c) If all Shares referred to in the Notice are not elected to be
obtained as provided in subsection 2.4(b) hereof, the Company may, during the
30-day period following the expiration of the period provided in subsection
2.4(b) hereof, offer the remaining unsubscribed portion of such Shares to any
person or persons at a price not less than, and upon terms no more favorable to
the offeree than those specified in the Notice. If the Company does not enter
into an agreement for the sale of the Shares within such period, or if such
agreement is not consummated within 30 days of the execution thereof, the right
provided hereunder shall be deemed to be revived and such Shares shall not be
offered unless first re-offered to the Major Investors in accordance herewith,
and the Major Investors may elect to rescind their contingent purchase of such
Shares pursuant to Section 2.4(b) hereof.
(d) The right of first offer in this Section 2.4 shall not be
applicable (i) to the issuance or sale of such number of shares of Common Stock

beneficial ownership information and all shall cooperate with any state or
federal licensing agency in any investigation by such agencies.
4. Miscellaneous.
4.1 Successors and Assigns. Except as otherwise provided herein, the
terms and conditions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be
binding upon the respective
21
successors and assigns of the parties (including transferees of any shares of
Registrable Securities). Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is
intended to confer upon any party other than the parties hereto or their
respective successors and assigns any rights, remedies, obligations, or
liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement, except as expressly provided
in this Agreement.
4.2 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed
under the laws of the State of California as applied to agreements among
California residents entered into and to be performed entirely within
California.
4.3 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which
together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
4.4 Titles and Subtitles. The titles and subtitles used in this
Agreement are used for convenience only and are not to be considered in
construing or interpreting this Agreement.
4.5 Notices. Any notice required or permitted to be given to a party
pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be
deemed delivered (i) upon personal delivery, (ii) upon facsimile transmittal
followed by oral telephone confirmation of receipt, (iii) one business day
following deposit for next day delivery with a reputable over-night courier

and the observance of any term of this Agreement may be waived (either generally

the written consent of the Company and the holders of a majority of the
Registrable Securities then outstanding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Company shall not enter into any amendment, modification or waiver of this
Agreement which has an adverse effect on Cargill or RFC, that is
disproportionate to the adverse effect of such amendment, modification or waiver
as it relates to all other Holders, without obtaining the prior written consent
of Cargill or RFC, as applicable; provided however, any such amendment,
modification or waiver for which Cargill's and/or RFC's consent is not required
and not obtained shall not be effective until Cargill and/or RFC, as applicable,
shall have been provided with a certified copy of such amendment, modification,
or waiver by notice as provided in Section 4.5 of this Agreement. Any amendment
or waiver effected in accordance with this paragraph shall be binding upon each
holder of any Registrable
22
Securities then outstanding, each future holder of all such Registrable
Securities, and the Company.
4.8 Severability. If one or more provisions of this Agreement are
held to be unenforceable under applicable law, such provision shall be excluded
from the Agreement and the balance of the Agreement shall be interpreted as if
such provision were so excluded and shall be enforceable in accordance with its
terms.
4.9 Aggregation of Stock. All shares of Registrable Securities held
or acquired by affiliated entities or persons shall be aggregated together for
the purpose of determining the availability of any rights under this Agreement.
4.10 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including the Exhibits hereto,
if any) constitutes the full and entire understanding and agreement between the
parties with regard to the subjects hereof and thereof and supersedes the
Original Agreement, as amended in its entirety.
