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

under the Securities Act covering such proposed disposition and such disposition
is made in accordance with such registration statement; or
(ii) (A) The transferee has agreed in writing to be
bound by the terms of this Agreement, (B) such Holder shall have notified the
Company of the proposed disposition and shall have furnished the Company with a
detailed statement of the circumstances surrounding the proposed disposition,
and (C) if reasonably requested by the Company, such Holder shall have furnished
the Company with an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Company,
that such disposition will not require registration of such shares under the
Securities Act. It is agreed that the Company will not require opinions of
counsel for transactions made pursuant to Rule 144.
(iii) Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs
(i) and (ii) above, no such registration statement or opinion of counsel shall
be necessary for a transfer by a Holder which is (A) a partnership to its
partners or former partners in accordance with partnership interests, (B) a
limited liability company to its members or former members in accordance with
their interest in the limited liability company, or (C) to the Holder's family
member or trust for the benefit of an individual Holder; provided that in each
case the transferee will be subject to the terms of this Agreement to the same
extent as if he were an original Holder hereunder.
(b) Each certificate representing Shares or Registrable
Securities shall (unless otherwise permitted by the provisions of the Agreement)
be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend substantially similar to the
following (in addition to any legend required under applicable state securities
laws):
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED
UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 (THE "ACT") AND MAY NOT BE
OFFERED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED, ASSIGNED, PLEDGED OR
HYPOTHECATED UNLESS AND UNTIL REGISTERED UNDER THE ACT OR
UNLESS THE COMPANY HAS RECEIVED AN OPINION OF COUNSEL
SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY AND ITS COUNSEL THAT SUCH
REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.
(c) The Company shall be obligated to reissue promptly
unlegended certificates at the request of any holder thereof if the holder shall
have obtained an opinion of counsel (which counsel may be counsel to the
Company) reasonably acceptable to the Company to the effect that the securities
proposed to be disposed of may lawfully be so disposed of without registration,
qualification or legend.
3.
7
(d) Any legend endorsed on an instrument pursuant to
applicable state securities laws and the stop-transfer instructions with respect
to such securities shall be removed upon receipt by the Company of an order of
the appropriate blue sky authority authorizing such removal.
2.2 DEMAND REGISTRATION.
(a) Subject to the conditions of this Section 2.2, if the
Company shall receive a written request from the Holders of a majority of the
Registrable Securities then outstanding (the "INITIATING HOLDERS") that the
Company file a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the
registration of at least a majority of the Registrable Securities then
outstanding (or a lesser percent if the anticipated aggregate offering price,
net of underwriting discounts and commissions, would exceed $5,000,000 (a
"QUALIFIED PUBLIC OFFERING")) then the Company shall, within thirty (30) days of
the receipt thereof, give written notice of such request to all Holders, and
subject to the limitations of this Section 2.2, use its best efforts to effect,
as soon as practicable, the registration under the Securities Act of all
Registrable Securities that the Holders request to be registered.
(b) If the Initiating Holders intend to distribute the
Registrable Securities covered by their request by means of an underwriting,
they shall so advise the Company as a part of their request made pursuant to
this Section 2.2 or any request pursuant to Section 2.4 and the Company shall
include such information in the written notice referred to in Section 2.2(a) or
Section 2.4(a), as applicable. In such event, the right of any Holder to include
its Registrable Securities in such registration shall be conditioned upon such
Holder's participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder's
Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided herein. All
Holders proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting shall
enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or
underwriters selected for such underwriting by a majority in interest of the
Initiating Holders (which underwriter or underwriters shall be reasonably
acceptable to the Company). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section
2.2 or Section 2.4, if the underwriter advises the Company that marketing
factors require a limitation of the number of securities to be underwritten
(including Registrable Securities) then the Company shall so advise all Holders
of Registrable Securities which would otherwise be underwritten pursuant hereto,
and the number of shares that may be included in the underwriting shall be
allocated to the Holders of such Registrable Securities on a pro rata basis
based on the number of Registrable Securities held by all such Holders
(including the Initiating Holders). Any Registrable Securities excluded or
withdrawn from such underwriting shall be withdrawn from the registration.
(c) The Company shall not be required to effect a registration
pursuant to this Section 2.2:
(i) prior to the earlier of (A) December 31, 2002 or
(B) the effective date of the registration statement pertaining to the Initial
Offering;
(ii) after the Company has effected two (2)
registrations pursuant to this Section 2.2, and such registrations have been
declared or ordered effective;
4.
8
(iii) during the period starting with the date of
filing of, and ending on the date one hundred eighty (180) days following the
effective date of a registration statement pertaining to a public offering;
provided that the Company makes reasonable good faith efforts to cause such
registration statement to become effective;
(iv) if within thirty (30) days of receipt of a
written request from Initiating Holders pursuant to Section 2.2(a), the Company
gives notice to the Holders of the Company's intention to make its Initial
Offering within ninety (90) days;
(v) if the Company shall furnish to Holders
requesting a registration statement pursuant to this Section 2.2, a certificate
signed by the Chairman of the Board stating that in the good faith judgment of
the Board of Directors of the Company, it would be seriously detrimental to the
Company and its stockholders for such registration statement to be effected at
such time, in which event the Company shall have the right to defer such filing
for a period of not more than ninety (90) days after receipt of the request of
the Initiating Holders; provided that such right to delay a request shall be
exercised by the Company not more than once in any twelve (12) month period; or
(vi) if the Initiating Holders propose to dispose of
shares of Registrable Securities that may be immediately registered on Form S-3
pursuant to a request made pursuant to Section 2.4 below.
2.3 PIGGYBACK REGISTRATIONS. The Company shall notify all Holders of
Registrable Securities in writing at least thirty (30) days prior to the filing
of any registration statement under the Securities Act for purposes of a public
offering of securities of the Company (including, but not limited to,
registration statements relating to secondary offerings of securities of the
Company, but excluding registration statements relating to employee benefit
plans or with respect to corporate reorganizations or other transactions under
Rule 145 of the Securities Act) and will afford each such Holder an opportunity
to include in such registration statement all or part of such Registrable
Securities held by such Holder. Each Holder desiring to include in any such
registration statement all or any part of the Registrable Securities held by it
shall, within twenty (20) days after the above-described notice from the
Company, so notify the Company in writing. Such notice shall state the intended
method of disposition of the Registrable Securities by such Holder. If a Holder
decides not to include all of its Registrable Securities in any registration
statement thereafter filed by the Company, such Holder shall nevertheless
continue to have the right to include any Registrable Securities in any
subsequent registration statement or registration statements as may be filed by
the Company with respect to offerings of its securities, all upon the terms and
conditions set forth herein.
(a) UNDERWRITING. If the registration statement under which
the Company gives notice under this Section 2.3 is for an underwritten offering,
the Company shall so advise the Holders of Registrable Securities. In such
event, the right of any such Holder to be included in a registration pursuant to
this Section 2.3 shall be conditioned upon such Holder's participation in such
underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder's Registrable Securities in the
underwriting to the extent provided herein. All Holders proposing to distribute
their Registrable Securities through such underwriting shall enter into an
underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters
selected for such underwriting by the
5.
9
Company. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Agreement, if the
underwriter determines in good faith that marketing factors require a limitation
of the number of shares to be underwritten, the number of shares that may be
included in the underwriting shall be allocated, first, to the Company; second,
to the Holders on a pro rata basis based on the total number of Registrable
Securities held by the Holders; and third, to any stockholder of the Company
(other than a Holder) on a pro rata basis. No such reduction shall (i) reduce
the securities being offered by the Company for its own account to be included
in the registration and underwriting or (ii) reduce the amount of securities of
the selling Holders included in the registration below twenty-five percent (25%)
of the total amount of securities included in such registration, unless such
offering is (a) the Initial Offering or (b) a registration pursuant to Section
2.2 herein, in either of which events any or all of the Registrable Securities
of the Holders may be excluded in accordance with the immediately preceding
sentence. In no event will shares of any other selling stockholder included in
such registration reduce the number of shares which may be included by Holders
without the written consent of Holders of not less than sixty-six and two-thirds
percent (66 2/3%) of the Registrable Securities proposed to be sold in the
offering. If any Holder disapproves of the terms of any such underwriting, such
Holder may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company and the
underwriter, delivered at least ten (10) business days prior to the effective
date of the registration statement. Any Registrable Securities excluded or
withdrawn from such underwriting shall be excluded and withdrawn from the
registration. For any Holder which is a partnership or corporation, the
partners, retired partners and stockholders 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 person shall be deemed to be a single "HOLDER",
and any pro rata reduction with respect to such "Holder" shall be based upon the
aggregate amount of shares carrying registration rights owned by all entities
and individuals included in such "Holder," as defined in this sentence.
(b) RIGHT TO TERMINATE REGISTRATION. The Company shall have
the right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under this
Section 2.3 prior to the effectiveness of such registration whether or not any
Holder has elected to include securities in such registration. The Registration
Expenses of such withdrawn registration shall be borne by the Company in
accordance with Section 2.5 hereof.
2.4 FORM S-3 REGISTRATION. In case the Company shall receive from any
Holder or Holders of Registrable Securities a written request or requests that
the Company effect a registration on Form S-3 or any similar short-form
registration statement and any related qualification or compliance with respect
to all or a part of the Registrable Securities owned by such Holder or Holders,
the Company will:
(a) promptly give written notice of the proposed registration,
and any related qualification or compliance, to all other Holders of Registrable
Securities; and
(b) as soon as practicable, effect such registration and all
such qualifications and compliances as may be so requested and as would permit
or facilitate the sale and distribution of all or such portion of such Holder's
or Holders' Registrable Securities as are specified in such request, together
with all or such portion of the Registrable Securities of any other Holder or
Holders joining in such request as are specified in a written request given
within twenty (20) days after receipt of such written notice from the Company;
provided, however, that
6.
10
the Company shall not be obligated to effect any such registration,
qualification or compliance pursuant to this Section 2.4:
(i) if Form S-3 (or any successor or similar form) is
not available for such offering by the Holders, or
(ii) if the Holders, together with the holders of any
other securities of the Company entitled to inclusion in such registration,
propose to sell Registrable Securities and such other securities (if any) at an
aggregate price to the public of less than five hundred thousand dollars
($500,000), or
(iii) after the Company has effected two (2)
registrations pursuant to this Section 2.4 and such registrations have been
declared effective; or
(iv) if the Company shall furnish to the Holders a
certificate signed by the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company
stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the
Company, it would not be in the best interests of the Company and its
stockholders for such Form S-3 registration to be effected at such time, in
which event the Company shall have the right to defer the filing of the Form S-3
registration statement for a period of not more than ninety (90) days after
receipt of the request of the Holder or Holders under this Section 2.4;
provided, that such right to delay a request shall be exercised by the Company
not more than once in any twelve (12) month period, or
(v) if the Company has, within the twelve (12) month
period preceding the date of such request, already effected one (1) registration
on Form S-3 for the Holders pursuant to this Section 2.4, or
(vi) in any particular jurisdiction in which the
Company would be required to qualify to do business or to execute a general
consent to service of process in effecting such registration, qualification or
compliance.
(c) Subject to the foregoing, the Company shall file a Form
S-3 registration statement covering the Registrable Securities and other
securities so requested to be registered as soon as practicable after receipt of
the request or requests of the Holders. Registrations effected pursuant to this
Section 2.4 shall not be counted as demands for registration or registrations
effected pursuant to Sections 2.2 or 2.3, respectively.
2.5 EXPENSES OF REGISTRATION. Except as specifically provided herein,
all Registration Expenses incurred in connection with any registration,
qualification or compliance pursuant to Section 2.2 or any registration under
Section 2.3 or Section 2.4 herein shall be borne by the Company. All Selling
Expenses incurred in connection with any registrations hereunder, shall be borne
by the holders of the securities so registered pro rata on the basis of the
number of shares so registered. The Company shall not, however, be required to
pay for expenses of any registration proceeding begun pursuant to Section 2.2 or
2.4, the request of which has been subsequently withdrawn by the Initiating
Holders unless (a) the withdrawal is based upon material adverse information
concerning the Company of which the Initiating Holders were not aware at the
time of such request or (b) the Holders of a majority of Registrable Securities
agree to forfeit their right to one requested registration pursuant to Section
2.2 or Section 2.4, as
7.
11
applicable, in which event such right shall be forfeited by all Holders). If the
Holders are required to pay the Registration Expenses, such expenses shall be
borne by the holders of securities (including Registrable Securities) requesting
such registration in proportion to the number of shares for which registration
was requested. If the Company is required to pay the Registration Expenses of a
withdrawn offering pursuant to clause (a) above, then the Holders shall not
forfeit their rights pursuant to Section 2.2 or Section 2.4 to a demand
registration.
2.6 OBLIGATIONS OF THE COMPANY. Whenever required to effect the
registration of any Registrable Securities, the Company shall, as expeditiously
as reasonably possible:
(a) Prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement
with respect to such Registrable Securities and use all reasonable efforts to
cause such registration statement to become effective, and, upon the request of
the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities registered thereunder,
keep such registration statement effective for up to ninety (90) days or, if
earlier, until the Holder or Holders have completed the distribution related
thereto. The Company shall not be required to file, cause to become effective or
maintain the effectiveness of any registration statement that contemplates a
distribution of securities on a delayed or continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415
under the Securities Act.
(b) Prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and
supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection
with such registration statement as may be necessary to comply with the
provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all
securities covered by such registration statement for the period set forth in
paragraph (a) above.
(c) Furnish to the Holders such number of copies of a
prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, in conformity with the
requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents as they may
reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of Registrable
Securities owned by them.
(d) Use its reasonable 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.
(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(s) of such offering. Each Holder
participating in such underwriting shall also enter into and perform its
obligations under such an agreement.
(f) Notify each Holder of Registrable Securities covered by
such registration statement at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is
required to be delivered under the Securities Act of the happening of any event
as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration statement, as
then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to
state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then
existing.
8.
12
(g) Cause all such Registrable Securities registered pursuant
hereunder to be listed on each securities exchange on which similar securities
issued by the Company are then listed.
(h) Provide a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable
Securities registered hereunder and a CUSIP number for all such Registrable
Securities, in each case not later than the effective date of such registration.
(i) Use its best efforts to furnish, on the date that such
Registrable Securities are delivered to the underwriters for sale, if such
securities are being sold through underwriters, (i) an opinion, dated as of such
date, of the counsel representing the Company for the purposes of such
registration, in form and substance as is customarily given to underwriters in
an underwritten public offering, addressed to the underwriters, if any, and (ii)
a letter dated as of such date, from the independent certified public
accountants of the Company, in form and substance as is customarily given by
independent certified public accountants to underwriters in an underwritten
public offering addressed to the underwriters.
2.7 TERMINATION OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS. All registration rights granted
under this Section 2 shall terminate and be of no further force and effect seven
(7) years after the date of the Company's Initial Offering. In addition, a
Holder's registration rights shall expire if all Registrable Securities held by
and issuable to such Holder (and its affiliates, partners, former partners,
members and former members) may be sold under Rule 144 during any ninety (90)
day period.
2.8 DELAY OF REGISTRATION; FURNISHING INFORMATION.
(a) No Holder shall have any right to obtain or seek an
injunction restraining or otherwise delaying any such registration as the result
of any controversy that might arise with respect to the interpretation or
implementation of this Section 2.
(b) It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of
the Company to take any action pursuant to Section 2.2, 2.3 or 2.4 that the
selling Holders shall furnish to the Company such information regarding
themselves, the Registrable Securities held by them and the intended method of
disposition of such securities as shall be required to effect the registration
of their Registrable Securities.
(c) The Company shall have no obligation with respect to any
registration requested pursuant to Section 2.2 or Section 2.4 if, due to the
operation of subsection 2.2(b), the number of shares or the anticipated
aggregate offering price of the Registrable Securities to be included in the
registration does not equal or exceed the number of shares or the anticipated
aggregate offering price required to originally trigger the Company's obligation
to initiate such registration as specified in Section 2.2 or Section 2.4,
whichever is applicable.
2.9 INDEMNIFICATION. In the event any Registrable Securities are
included in a registration statement under Sections 2.2, 2.3 or 2.4:
(a) To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify
and hold harmless each Holder, the partners, officers and directors of each
Holder, any underwriter (as
9.
13
defined in the Securities Act) for such Holder and each person, if any, who
controls such Holder or underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act or
the Exchange Act, against any losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (joint or
several) to which they may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange
Act or other federal or state law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or
liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any
of the following statements, omissions or violations (collectively a
"VIOLATION") by the Company: (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact contained in such registration statement, including
any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or any
amendments or supplements thereto, (ii) the omission or alleged omission to
state therein a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to
make the statements therein not misleading, or (iii) any violation or alleged
violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any state
securities law or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act,
the Exchange Act or any state securities law in connection with the offering
covered by such registration statement; and the Company will pay as incurred to
each such Holder, partner, officer, director, underwriter or controlling person
for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with
investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action;
provided however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 2.9(a)
shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage,
liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the
Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, nor shall the Company
be liable in any such case for any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action
to the extent that it arises out of or is based upon a Violation which occurs in
reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished expressly for
use in connection with such registration by such Holder, partner, officer,
director, underwriter or controlling person of such Holder.
(b) To the extent permitted by law, each Holder will, if
Registrable Securities held by such Holder are included in the securities as to
which such registration qualifications or compliance is being effected,
indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, its officers and
each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the
Securities Act, any underwriter and any other Holder selling securities under
such registration statement or any of such other Holder's partners, directors or
officers or any person who controls such Holder, against any losses, claims,
damages or liabilities (joint or several) to which the Company or any such
director, officer, controlling person, underwriter or other such Holder, or
partner, director, officer or controlling person of such other Holder may become
subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state
law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in
respect thereto) arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in each case to
the extent (and only to the extent) that such Violation occurs in reliance upon
and in conformity with written information furnished by such Holder under an
instrument duly executed by such Holder and stated to be specifically for use in
connection with such registration; and each such Holder will pay as incurred any
legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company or any such director,
officer, controlling person, underwriter or other Holder, or partner, officer,
director or controlling person of such other Holder in connection with
investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if
it is judicially determined that there was such a Violation; provided, however,
that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 2.9(b) shall not apply to
amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action
if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Holder, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided further, that in no event shall any
10.
14
indemnity under this Section 2.9 exceed the net proceeds from the offering
received by such Holder.
(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this
Section 2.9 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any
governmental action), such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof
is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 2.9, deliver to
the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof and the
indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent
the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party
similarly noticed, to assume the defense thereof with counsel mutually
satisfactory to the parties; provided, however, that an indemnified party shall
have the right to retain its own counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid
by the indemnifying party, if representation of such indemnified party by the
counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual
or potential differing interests between such indemnified party and any other
party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The failure to deliver
written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the
commencement of any such action, if materially prejudicial to its ability to
defend such action, shall relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to
the indemnified party under this Section 2.9, but the omission so to deliver
written notice to the indemnifying party will not relieve it of any liability
that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 2.9.
(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 2.9 is
held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified
party with respect to any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to
herein, the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party
thereunder, shall to the extent permitted by applicable law contribute to the
amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss,
claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the
relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and of the indemnified
party on the other in connection with the Violation(s) that resulted in such
loss, claim, damage or liability, as well as any other relevant equitable
considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the
indemnified party shall be determined by a court of law by reference to, among
other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact
or the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the
indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties' relative intent,
knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such
statement or omission; provided, that in no event shall any contribution by a
Holder hereunder exceed the net proceeds from the offering received by such
Holder.
(e) The obligations of the Company and Holders under this
Section 2.9 shall survive completion of any offering of Registrable Securities
in a registration statement and the termination of this agreement. No
Indemnifying Party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation, shall,
except with the consent of each Indemnified Party, consent to entry of any
judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional
term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party
of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.
2.10 ASSIGNMENT OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS. The rights to cause the Company
to register Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 2 may be assigned by
a Holder to a transferee or
11.
15
assignee of Registrable Securities which (a) is a general partner, limited
partner, retired partner, member or retired member of a Holder, (b) is a
Holder's family member or trust for the benefit of an individual Holder, (c)
acquires at least five hundred thousand (500,000) shares of Registrable
Securities (as adjusted for stock splits and combinations), or (d) with respect
to Atlas/Third Rail Management, Inc. ("Atlas"), is an employee, officer or
affiliate (including ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇) thereof or an artist represented thereby;
provided, that Atlas shall not have the right hereby to transfer its rights
pursuant to this Section 2 to any person or entity engaged, directly or
indirectly, in the business of digital distribution of music over the Internet
or in any other electronic medium, where such business generates greater than $1
million per year in revenues; and provided further, (i) the transferor shall,
within twenty (20) days after such transfer, furnish to the Company written
notice of the name and address of such transferee or assignee and the securities
with respect to which such registration rights are being assigned and (ii) such
transferee shall agree to be subject to all restrictions set forth in this
Agreement.
2.11 AMENDMENT OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS. Any provision of this Section 2
may be amended and the observance thereof may be waived (either generally or in
a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively), only with the
written consent of the Company and the Holders of at least a majority of the
Registrable Securities then outstanding. Any amendment or waiver effected in
accordance with this Section 2.11 shall be binding upon each Holder and the
Company. By acceptance of any benefits under this Section 2, Holders of
Registrable Securities hereby agree to be bound by the provisions hereunder.
2.12 [RESERVED]
2.13 "MARKET STAND-OFF" AGREEMENT; AGREEMENT TO FURNISH INFORMATION.
Each Holder hereby agrees that such Holder shall not sell, transfer, make any
short sale of, grant any option for the purchase of, or enter into any hedging
or similar transaction with the same economic effect as a sale, any Common Stock
(or other securities) of the Company held by such Holder (other than those
included in the registration) for a period specified by the representative of
the underwriters of Common Stock (or other securities) of the Company not to
exceed one hundred eighty (180) days following the effective date of a
registration statement of the Company filed under the Securities Act; provided
that:
(i) such agreement shall apply only to the Company's
Initial Offering; and
(ii) all executive officers and directors of the
Company enter into similar agreements.
Each Holder agrees to execute and deliver such other agreements as may
be reasonably requested by the Company or the underwriter which are consistent
with the foregoing or which are necessary to give further effect thereto. In
addition, if requested by the Company or the representative of the underwriters
of Common Stock (or other securities) of the Company, each Holder shall provide,
within ten (10) days of such request, such information as may be required by the
Company or such representative in connection with the completion of any public
offering of the Company's securities pursuant to a registration statement filed
under the Securities Act. The obligations described in this Section 2.13 shall
not apply to a registration relating solely to
12.
16
employee benefit plans on Form S-1 or Form S-8 or similar forms that may be
promulgated in the future, or a registration relating solely to a Commission
Rule 145 transaction on Form S-4 or similar forms that may be promulgated in the
future. The Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the
shares of Common Stock (or other securities) subject to the foregoing
restriction until the end of said one hundred eighty (180) day period.
2.14 RULE 144 REPORTING. With a view to making available to the Holders
the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the SEC which may permit the
sale of the Registrable Securities to the public without registration, the
Company agrees to use its best efforts to:
(a) Make and keep public information available, as those terms
are understood and defined in SEC Rule 144 or any similar or analogous rule
promulgated under the Securities Act, at all times after the effective date of
the first registration filed by the Company for an offering of its securities to
the general public;
(b) File with the SEC, in a timely manner, all reports and
other documents required of the Company under the Exchange Act; and
(c) So long as a Holder owns any Registrable Securities,
furnish to such Holder forthwith upon request: a written statement by the
Company as to its compliance with the reporting requirements of said Rule 144 of
the Securities Act, and of the Exchange Act (at any time after it has become
subject to such reporting requirements); a copy of the most recent annual or
quarterly report of the Company; and such other reports and documents as a
Holder may reasonably request in availing itself of any rule or regulation of
the SEC allowing it to sell any such securities without registration.

requested all at such reasonable times and as often as may be reasonably
requested; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated under this
Section 3.2 (i) with respect to a competitor of the Company, (ii) with respect
to information which the Board of Directors determines in good faith is
confidential and should not, therefore, be disclosed, and (iii) with respect to
Series B Investors upon termination of the Consulting Agreement.

agrees that its rights under Sections 3.1 and 3.2 above shall be subject to such
limitations and restrictions as the Board of Directors of the
14.
18
Company in good faith determines to be necessary or appropriate for the
protection of the Company's business or proprietary interests from competitive
harm. Each Investor agrees to use, and to use its best efforts to insure that
its authorized representatives use, the same degree of care as such Investor
uses to protect its own confidential information to keep confidential any
information furnished to it which the Company identifies as being confidential
or proprietary (so long as such information is not in the public domain), except
that such Investor may disclose such proprietary or confidential information to
any partner, subsidiary or parent of such Investor for the purpose of evaluating
its investment in the Company as long as such partner, subsidiary or parent is
advised of the confidentiality provisions of this Section 3.3.

and keep available, solely for issuance and delivery upon the conversion of the
Preferred Stock and exercise of the Warrant, all Common Stock issuable from time

of issuance or the date of commencement of such person's services to the
Company, and (b) seventy-five percent (75%) of such stock shall vest monthly
over the remaining three (3) years thereafter. With respect to any shares of
stock purchased by any such person, the Company's repurchase option shall
provide that upon such person's termination of employment or service with the
Company, with or without cause, the Company or its assignee (to the extent
permissible under applicable securities laws and other laws) shall have the
option to purchase at cost any unvested shares of stock held by such person.
3.6 KEY MAN INSURANCE. The Company will use its best efforts to
maintain in full force and effect term life insurance in the amount of one
million ($1,000,000) dollars on the life of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, naming the
Company as beneficiary.
3.7 PROPRIETARY INFORMATION AND INVENTIONS AGREEMENT. The Company shall
require all employees and consultants to execute and deliver the Company's
standard Proprietary Information and Inventions Agreement.

elects not to exercise any right of first refusal or right of first offer the
Company may have on a proposed transfer of any of the Company's outstanding
capital stock pursuant to the Company's charter documents, by contract or
otherwise, the Company shall, to the extent it may do so, assign such right of
first refusal or right of first offer to each Investor. In the event of such
assignment, each Investor shall have a right to purchase its pro rata portion
(as defined in Section 4.1) of the capital stock proposed to be transferred.
3.9 ELECTION AND REMOVAL OF DIRECTORS. In the event that the holders of
at least a majority of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock, or the
holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series A Stock,
notify the Company that an individual has been designated to serve as a director
which the holders of Common Stock or Series A Stock,
15.
19
respectively, are entitled to elect under Section E.2(c) of Article IV of the
Restated Certificate, the Company shall take such actions as may be necessary to
ensure that such individual is duly appointed or elected as a director of the
Company. In the event that the holders of at least a majority of the then
outstanding shares of Common Stock, or the holders of at least a majority of the
then outstanding shares of Series A Stock, notify the Company that they desire
to remove a director which the holders of Common Stock or Series A Stock,
respectively, are entitled to remove under Section E.2(c) of Article IV of the
Restated Certificate, the Company shall take such actions as may be necessary to
ensure that such individual is removed as a director of the Company.
3.10 QUALIFIED SMALL BUSINESS. The Company will use reasonable efforts
to comply with the reporting and recordkeeping requirements of Section 1202 of
the Internal Revenue Code, and any regulations promulgated thereunder and any
similar state laws and regulations and agrees not to repurchase any stock of the

such repurchase would cause the Shares not to so qualify as "Qualified Small
Business Stock," unless such a repurchase is approved by the Company's Board of
Directors (including the approval of at least one member of the Board of
Directors designated by the Series A Preferred Stock holders, if such a Director
exists).

in Section 3 of this Agreement shall expire and terminate as to each Investor
upon the earlier of (i) the effective date of the registration statement
pertaining to the Initial Offering or (ii) upon (a) the sale, lease or other
disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or (b) an
acquisition of the Company by another corporation or entity by consolidation,
merger or other reorganization in which the holders of the Company's outstanding
voting stock immediately prior to such transaction own, immediately after such
transaction, securities representing less than fifty percent (50%) of the voting
power of the corporation or other entity surviving such transaction (each a
"CHANGE IN CONTROL").
SECTION 4. RIGHTS OF FIRST REFUSAL
4.1 SUBSEQUENT OFFERINGS. Each Major Investor, each Series B Investor
and each holder of Common Stock issued upon exercise of the Warrant (each, a
"Right of First Refusal Investor") shall have a right of first refusal to
purchase its pro rata share of all Equity Securities, as defined below, that the
Company may, from time to time, propose to sell and issue after the date of this
Agreement, other than the Equity Securities excluded by Section 4.7 hereof. Each
Investor's pro rata share is equal to the ratio of (a) the number of shares of
the Company's Common Stock (including all shares of Common Stock issued or
issuable upon conversion of the Shares or upon exercise of the Warrant) which
such Investor is deemed to be a holder immediately prior to the issuance of such
Equity Securities to (b) the total number of shares of the Company's outstanding
Common Stock (including all shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon
conversion of the Shares or upon the exercise of any outstanding warrants or
options) immediately prior to the issuance of the Equity Securities. The term
"EQUITY SECURITIES" shall mean (i) any Common Stock, Preferred Stock or other
security of the Company, (ii) any security convertible, with or without
consideration, into any Common Stock, Preferred Stock or other security
(including any option to purchase such a convertible security), (iii) any
16.
20
security carrying any warrant or right to subscribe to or purchase any Common
Stock, Preferred Stock or other security or (iv) any such warrant or right.
4.2 EXERCISE OF RIGHTS. If the Company proposes to issue any Equity
Securities, it shall give each Right of First Refusal Investor written notice of
its intention, describing the Equity Securities, the price and the terms and
conditions upon which the Company proposes to issue the same. Each Right of
First Refusal Investor shall have twenty (20) days from the giving of such
notice to agree to purchase its pro rata share of the Equity Securities for the
price and upon the terms and conditions specified in the notice by giving
written notice to the Company and stating therein the quantity of Equity
Securities to be purchased. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not
be required to offer or sell such Equity Securities to any Right of First
Refusal Investor who would cause the Company to be in violation of applicable
federal securities laws by virtue of such offer or sale.
4.3 ISSUANCE OF EQUITY SECURITIES TO OTHER PERSONS. If the Right of
First Refusal Investors fail to exercise in full the rights of first refusal,
the Company shall have ninety (90) days thereafter to sell the Equity Securities
in respect of which the Right of First Refusal Investors' rights were not
exercised, at a price and upon general terms and conditions materially no more
favorable to the purchasers thereof than specified in the Company's notice to
the Right of First Refusal Investors pursuant to Section 4.2 hereof. If the
Company has not sold such Equity Securities within ninety (90) days of the
notice provided pursuant to Section 4.2, the Company shall not thereafter issue
or sell any Equity Securities, without first offering such securities to the
Right of First Refusal Investors in the manner provided above.
4.4 SALE WITHOUT NOTICE. In lieu of giving notice to the Right of First
Refusal Investors prior to the issuance of Equity Securities as provided in
Section 4.2, the Company may elect to give notice to the Right of First Refusal
Investors within thirty (30) days after the issuance of Equity Securities. Such
notice shall describe the type, price and terms of the Equity Securities. Each
Right of First Refusal Investor shall have twenty (20) days from the date of
receipt of such notice to elect to purchase its pro rata share of Equity
Securities (as defined in Section 4.1, and calculated before giving effect to
the sale of the Equity Securities to the purchasers thereof). The closing of
such sale shall occur within sixty (60) days of the date of notice to the Right
of First Refusal Investors.
4.5 TERMINATION AND WAIVER OF RIGHTS OF FIRST REFUSAL. The rights of
first refusal established by this Section 4 shall not apply to, and shall
terminate upon the earlier of (i) with respect to the Major Investors, the
effective date of the registration statement pertaining to an Initial Offering
that results in the Preferred Stock being converted into Common Stock or, with
respect to the Series B Investors and the holders of Common Stock upon exercise
of the Warrant, the effective date of the registration statement pertaining to
an Initial Offering that results in the Preferred Stock being converted into
Common Stock and the offer and sale of Common Stock at a price per share of at
least $8.54 (as adjusted for stock splits, dividends, recapitalizations and the
like) or (ii) a Change in Control. The rights of first refusal established by
this Section 4 may be amended, or any provision waived with the written consent
of Right of First Refusal Investors holding a majority of the Registrable
Securities held by all Right of First Refusal Investors, or as permitted by
Section 5.6.
17.
21
4.6 TRANSFER OF RIGHTS OF FIRST REFUSAL. The rights of first refusal of
each Right of First Refusal Investor under this Section 4 may be transferred to
the same parties, subject to the same restrictions as any transfer of
registration rights pursuant to Section 2.10.
4.7 EXCLUDED SECURITIES. The rights of first refusal established by
this Section 4 shall have no application to any of the following Equity
Securities:
(a) up to an aggregate amount of 6,500,000 shares of Common
Stock (and/or options, warrants or other Common Stock purchase rights issued
pursuant to such options, warrants or other rights) as adjusted for any stock
dividends, combinations, splits, recapitalizations and the like issued or to be
issued after the Original Issue Date (as defined in the Company's Certificate of
Incorporation) to employees, officers or directors of, or consultants or
advisors to the Company or any subsidiary, pursuant to stock purchase or stock
option plans or other arrangements that are approved by the Board of Directors
of the Company;
(b) stock issued pursuant to any rights, agreements, options
and warrants outstanding as of the date of this Agreement; and stock issued
pursuant to any such rights, agreements, options and warrants granted after the
date of this Agreement, provided that the rights of first refusal established by
this Section 4 applied with respect to the initial sale or grant by the Company
of such rights or agreements;
(c) any Equity Securities issued for consideration other than
cash pursuant to a merger, consolidation, acquisition or similar business
combination approved by the Board of Directors;
(d) shares of Common Stock issued in connection with any stock
split, stock dividend or recapitalization by the Company;
(e) the Warrant, the Shares or the shares of Common Stock
issued upon conversion of the Shares or exercise of the Warrant;
(f) any Equity Securities issued pursuant to any equipment
leasing or loan arrangement, or any debt financing from a bank or similar
financial or lending institution;
(g) any Equity Securities that are issued by the Company
pursuant to a registration statement filed under the Securities Act; and
(h) shares of the Company's Common Stock or Preferred Stock
issued in connection with strategic transactions involving the Company and other
entities, including (i) joint ventures, manufacturing, marketing or distribution
arrangements or (ii) technology transfer or development arrangements; provided
that such strategic transactions and the issuance of shares therein, has been

acquiescence therein, or of any similar breach, default or noncompliance
thereafter occurring. It is further agreed that any waiver, permit, consent, or
approval of any kind or character on any Holder's part of any breach, default or
