Exhibit 10.17
REGISTRATION AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT is made as of October 15, 1999, among ▇▇▇▇▇▇ INTERACTIVE
INC., a Delaware corporation (the "Company") and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ CORPORATION (the
"Investor").
The Investor and the Company are parties to an Investment Agreement of
even date herewith (the "Investment Agreement") pursuant to which the Investor
has purchased or contemporaneously herewith is purchasing Class B Stock of the
Company. In order to induce the Investor to enter into the Investment Agreement
the Company has agreed to provide the registration rights set forth in this
Agreement. The execution and delivery of this Agreement is a condition to the
closing under the Investment Agreement. Unless otherwise provided in this
Agreement, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings set forth in
Section 8 hereof.
The parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
1. DEMAND REGISTRATIONS.
(a) Requests for Registration. The Requisite Holders may request
registration under the Securities Act of all or any portion of their Registrable
Securities on Form S-1 or any similar long-form registration ("Long-Form
Registrations"), or, if available, on Form S-2 or S-3 or any similar short-form
registration ("Short Form Registrations"). All registrations requested pursuant
to this paragraph 1(a) are referred to herein as "Demand Registrations." Each
request for a Demand Registration shall specify the approximate number of
Registrable Securities requested to be registered and the anticipated per share
price range for such offering. Within ten days after receipt of any such
request, the Company shall give written notice of such requested registration to
all other holders of Registrable Securities and Conversion Shares and shall
include in such registration all Registrable Securities and Conversion Shares
with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion
therein within 15 business days after the receipt of the Company's notice
(subject to paragraph 1(d) and 2(d) below).
(b) Long Form Registrations. The Requisite Holders shall be entitled to
request, and the Company shall be obligated to effect, (i) one Long-Form
Registration in which the Company shall pay all Registration Expenses ("Company
Paid Long Form Registration"), and (ii) unlimited Long-Form Registrations in
which the holders of Registrable Securities shall pay the Registration Expenses
other than the Internal Expenses (as defined in Section 5 hereof). A
registration shall not count as one of the permitted Long-Form Registrations
until it has become effective, and a Company-paid Long Form Registration shall
not count as one of the permitted Company-paid Long-Form Registrations unless
the holders of Registrable Securities are able to register and sell at least 90%
of the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration;
provided that in any event the Company shall pay all Registration Expenses in
connection with any registration initiated as a Company-paid Long-Form
Registration whether or not it has become effective and whether or not such
registration has counted
as one of the permitted Company-paid Long-Form Registrations. All Long-Form
Registrations shall be underwritten registrations.
(c) Short Form Registrations. In addition to the Long-Form Registrations
provided pursuant to paragraph 1(b), the Requisite Holders shall be entitled to
request, and the Company shall be obligated to effect, (i) two Short-Form
Registrations in which the Company shall pay all Registration Expenses, and (ii)
unlimited short-form registrations in which the Requisite Holders shall pay the
Registration Expenses other than the Internal Expenses (as defined in Section 5
hereof). Demand Registrations shall be Short-Form Registrations whenever the
Company is permitted to use any applicable short form. In the event that both
Company-paid Short-Form Registrations have been used and the Company-paid
Long-Form Registration has not been used, the Company shall (upon a request for
a Demand Registration by the Requisite Holders) have the option of paying all
Registration Expenses in connection with a third Short-Form Registration or of
affecting the Company-paid Long-Form Registration. After the Company has become
subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act, the
Company shall use its best efforts to qualify for Short-Form Registrations on
Form S-3.
(d) Priority on Demand Registrations. At the Company's option, the Company
may include in any Demand Registration shares of Common Stock (including the
Conversion Shares) which are not Registrable Securities to the extent the
holders thereof request that such Common Stock be included in such Demand
Registration. If a Demand Registration is an underwritten offering and the
managing underwriters advise the Company in writing that in their opinion the
number of Registrable Securities and, if permitted hereunder, other securities
requested to be included in such offering exceeds the number of Registrable
Securities and other securities, if any, which can be sold in an orderly manner
in such offering within a price range acceptable to the Requisite Holders
initially requesting registration, the Company shall include in such
registration, prior to the inclusion of any securities which are not Registrable
Securities and Conversion Shares, the number of Registrable Securities and
Conversion Shares requested to be included which in the opinion of such
underwriters can be sold in an orderly manner within the price range of such
offering, pro rata among the respective holders thereof on the basis of the
amount of Registrable Securities and Conversion Shares owned by each such
holder; provided, however, that the number of shares of Registrable Securities
to be included in such registration shall not be reduced unless all other
securities of the Company except the Conversion Shares are first entirely
excluded. Any Persons other than holders of Registrable Securities who
participate in Demand Registrations which are not at the Company's expense must
pay their share of the Registration Expenses as provided in paragraph 5 hereof.
(e) Restrictions on Long-Form Registrations. The Company shall not be
obligated to effect any Long-Form Registration before the earlier to occur of
(i) the date twelve months after the date of this Agreement, or (ii) 180 days
after the effective date of the earlier of a previous Long-Form Registration or
Initial Public Offering. The Company may postpone for up to 90 days the filing
or the effectiveness of a registration statement for a Demand Registration if
the Company and the holders of a majority of the
2
Registrable Securities and Conversion Shares, taken collectively, agree that
such Demand Registration would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse
effect on any proposal or plan by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to
engage in any acquisition of assets (other than in the ordinary course of
business) or any merger, consolidation, tender offer, reorganization or similar
transaction; provided that in such event, the holders of Registrable Securities
initially requesting such Demand Registration shall be entitled to withdraw such
request and, if such request is withdrawn, such Demand Registration shall not
count as the permitted Demand Registration hereunder and the Company shall pay
all Registration Expenses in connection with such registration. The Company may
delay a Demand Registration hereunder only once in any twelve-month period.
(f) Selection of Underwriters. The Requisite Holders shall have the right
to select the investment banker(s) and manager(s) to administer the offering,
subject to the consent of the Company, which consent may not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed.
2. PIGGYBACK REGISTRATIONS.
(a) Right to Piggyback. Whenever the Company proposes to register any of
its securities under the Securities Act (other than pursuant to a Demand
Registration) and the registration form to be used may be used for the
registration of Registrable Securities (a "Piggyback Registration"), the Company
shall give prompt written notice to all holders of Registrable Securities of its
intention to effect such a registration and shall include in such registration
all Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received
written requests for inclusion therein within 20 days after the receipt of the
Company's notice (subject to Sections 2(c) and (d) below).
(b) Piggyback Expenses. The Registration Expenses of the holders of
Registrable Securities shall be paid by the Company in all Piggyback
Registrations.
(c) Priority on Primary Registrations. If a Piggyback Registration is an
underwritten primary registration on behalf of the Company, and the managing
underwriters advise the Company in writing that in their opinion the number or
dollar amount of securities requested to be included in such registration
exceeds the number or dollar amount which can be sold in such offering without
adversely affecting the marketability of the offering, the Company shall include
in such registration (i) first, the securities the Company proposes to sell,
(ii) second, the Registrable Securities and Conversion Shares requested to be
included in such registration, pro rata among the holders of such Registrable
Securities and Conversion Shares on the basis of the amount of Registrable
Securities and Conversions Shares respectively owned by each such holder, and
(iii) third, other securities requested to be included in such registration.
(d) Priority on Secondary Registrations. If a Piggyback Registration is an
underwritten secondary registration on behalf of holders of the Company's
securities, and the managing underwriters advise the Company in writing that in
their opinion the number or dollar amount of securities requested to be included
in such registration exceeds the number or dollar amount which can be sold in
such offering without
3
adversely affecting the marketability of the offering, the Company shall include
in such registration: (i) first, if such registration is requested by the
holders of Registrable Securities or Conversion Shares, the Registrable
Securities and Conversion Shares requested to be included therein, pro rata
among the holders of such securities on the basis of the amount of securities
owned by each such holder, and (ii) second, the securities requested to be
included therein by the holders requesting such registration (if not the holders
of the Conversion Shares or Registrable Securities), the Conversion Shares, and
the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration, pro
rata among the holders of such securities on the basis of the amount of
securities owned by each such holder, and (ii) third, all other securities
requested to be included in such registration.
(e) Selection of Underwriters. If any Piggyback Registration is an
underwritten offering, the selection of investment banker(s) and manager(s) for
the offering must be approved by the holders of a majority of the Registrable
Securities and Conversion Shares, taken collectively, included in such Piggyback
Registration. Such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
(f) Other Registrations. If the Company has previously filed a
registration statement with respect to Registrable Securities pursuant to
Section 1 or pursuant to this Section 2, and if such previous registration has
not been withdrawn or abandoned, the Company shall not file or cause to be
effected any other registration of any of its equity securities or securities
convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable for its equity securities under
the Securities Act (except on Form S-8 or any successor form), whether on its
own behalf or at the request of any holder or holders of such securities, until
a period of at least 180 days has elapsed from the effective date of such
previous registration.
3. HOLDBACK AGREEMENTS.
(a) Holdback by Holders. Each holder of Registrable Securities shall not
effect any public sale or distribution (including sales pursuant to Rule 144) of
equity securities of the Company, or any securities convertible into or
exchangeable or exercisable for such securities, during the seven days prior to
and the 120-day period beginning on the effective date of any underwritten
Demand Registration in which Registrable Securities are included (except as part
of such underwritten registration), unless the underwriters managing the
registered public offering otherwise agree.
(b) Company Limitation. The Company 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 180-day period beginning on the effective date of any
underwritten Demand Registration or any underwritten Piggyback Registration
(except as part of such underwritten registration or pursuant to registrations
on Form S-8 or any successor form), unless the underwriters managing the
registered public offering otherwise agree.

4. REGISTRATION PROCEDURES.
Whenever the holders of Registrable Securities have requested that any
Registrable Securities be registered pursuant to this Agreement, the Company
shall use its best efforts to effect the registration and the sale of such
Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method of disposition
thereof, and pursuant thereto the Company shall as expeditiously as possible:
(a) prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission a
registration statement with respect to such Registrable Securities and use its
best efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective (provided
that before filing a registration statement or prospectus or any amendments or
supplements thereto, the Company 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);
(b) notify each holder of Registrable Securities of the effectiveness of
each registration statement filed hereunder and prepare and file with the
Securities and Exchange Commission such amendments and supplements to such
registration statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be
necessary to keep such registration statement effective for a period of not less
than 180 days and comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect
to the disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement
during such period in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the
sellers thereof set forth in such registration statement;
(c) furnish to each seller of Registrable Securities such number of copies
of such registration statement, each amendment and supplement thereto, the
prospectus included in such registration statement (including each preliminary
prospectus) and such other documents as such seller may reasonably request in
order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such
seller;
(d) use its best efforts to register or qualify such Registrable
Securities under such other securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as
any seller reasonably requests and do any and all other acts and things which
may be reasonably necessary or advisable to enable such seller to consummate the
disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities owned by such
seller (provided that the Company shall not be required to (i) qualify generally
to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to
qualify but for this subparagraph, (ii) subject itself to taxation in any such
jurisdiction or (iii) consent to general service of process in any such
jurisdiction);
(e) notify each seller of such Registrable Securities, at any time when a
prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities
Act, of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included
in such registration statement contains an untrue statement of a material fact
or omits any material fact necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading, and, at the request of any such seller, the
5
Company shall prepare 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 material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading;
(f) cause all such Registrable Securities to be listed on each securities
exchange on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed and,
if not so listed, to be listed on the NASD automated quotation system 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 NASDAQ "national market system security" within the meaning of
Rule 11Aa21of the Securities and Exchange Commission or, failing that, to secure
NASDAQ 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;
(g) provide a transfer agent and registrar for all such Registrable
Securities not later than the effective date of such registration statement;
(h) enter into such customary agreements (including underwriting
agreements in customary form) and take all such other actions as the holders of
a majority of the Registrable Securities being sold or the underwriters, if any,
reasonably request in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such
Registrable Securities (including effecting a stock split or a combination of
shares);
(i) make available for inspection by any seller of Registrable Securities,
any underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to such registration
statement and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by any such
seller or underwriter, all financial and other records, pertinent corporate
documents and properties of the Company, and cause the Company's officers,
directors, employees and independent accountants to supply all information
reasonably requested by any such seller, underwriter, attorney, accountant or
agent in connection with such registration statement;
(j) otherwise use its best efforts to comply with the Securities Act, the
Securities Exchange Act, all applicable rules and regulations of the Securities
and Exchange Commission, and make available to its security holders, as soon as
reasonably practicable, an earnings statement covering the period of at least
twelve months beginning with the first day of the Company's first full calendar
quarter after the effective date of the registration statement, which earnings
statement shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act
and Rule 158 thereunder; and
(k) 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;
6
(l) 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 common stock included in such registration statement for sale in any
jurisdiction, the Company shall use its best efforts promptly to obtain the
withdrawal of such order;
(m) 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; and
(n) obtain a cold comfort letter from the Company's independent public
accountants in customary form and covering such matters of the type customarily
covered by cold comfort letters as the holders of a majority of the Registrable
Securities being sold reasonably request (provided that such Registrable
Securities constitute at least 10% of the securities covered by such
registration statement).
5. REGISTRATION EXPENSES.
(a) Company Expenses. All expenses incident to the Company's performance
of or compliance with this Agreement, including without limitation all
registration and filing fees, fees and expenses of compliance with securities or
blue sky laws, printing expenses, messenger and delivery expenses, fees and
disbursements of custodians, and fees and disbursements of counsel for the
Company and all independent certified public accountants, underwriters
(excluding discounts and commissions) and other Persons retained by the Company
(all such expenses being herein called "Registration Expenses"), shall be borne
as provided in this Agreement, except that the Company shall, in any event, pay
its internal expenses ("Internal Expenses") (including, without limitation, all
salaries and expenses of its officers and employees performing legal or
accounting duties), the expense of any annual audit or quarterly review, the
expense of any liability insurance and the expenses and fees for listing the
securities to be registered on each securities exchange on which similar
securities issued by the Company are then listed or on the NASD automated
quotation system.
(b) In connection with each Demand Registration and each Piggyback
Registration, the Company shall reimburse the holders of Registrable Securities
included in such registration for the reasonable fees and disbursements of one
counsel chosen by the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities
included in such registration.
(c) To the extent Registration Expenses are not required to be paid by the
Company, each holder of securities included in any registration hereunder shall
pay those Registration Expenses allocable to the registration of such holder's
securities so included, and any Registration expenses not so allocable shall be
borne by all sellers of securities included in such registration in proportion
to the aggregate selling price of the securities to be so registered.
7
6. INDEMNIFICATION.
(a) The Company agrees to indemnify, to the extent permitted by law, each
holder of Registrable Securities, its officers and directors and each Person who
controls such holder (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against all
losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses caused by any untrue or
alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any registration
statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus or any amendment thereof or
supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading, except insofar as the same are caused by or contained in any
information furnished in writing to the Company by such holder expressly for use
therein or by such holder's failure to deliver a copy of the registration
statement or prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto after the
Company has furnished such holder with a sufficient number of copies of the
same. In connection with an underwritten offering, the Company shall indemnify
such underwriters, their officers and directors and each Person who controls
such underwriters (within the meaning of the Securities Act) to the same extent
as provided above with respect to the indemnification of the holders of
Registrable Securities.
(b) In connection with any registration statement in which a holder of
Registrable Securities is participating, each such holder shall furnish to the
Company in writing such information and affidavits as the Company reasonably
requests for use in connection with any such registration statement or
prospectus and, to the extent permitted by law, shall indemnify the Company, its
directors and officers and each Person who controls the Company (within the
meaning of the Securities Act) against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities
and expenses resulting from any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material
fact contained in the registration statement, prospectus or preliminary
prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or
alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary
to make the statements therein not misleading, but only to the extent that such
untrue statement or omission is contained in any information or affidavit so
furnished in writing and executed by such holder; provided that the obligation
to indemnify shall be individual, not joint and several, for each holder and
shall be limited to the net amount of proceeds received by such holder from the
sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration statement.
(c) Any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall (i) give prompt
written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it
seeks indemnification (provided that the failure to give prompt notice shall not
impair any Person's right to indemnification hereunder to the extent such
failure has not prejudiced the indemnifying party) and (ii) unless in such
indemnified party's reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such
indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim,
permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel
reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed,
the indemnifying party shall not be subject to any liability for any settlement
made by the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent shall not be
8
unreasonably withheld). An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects
not to, assume the defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and
expenses of more than one counsel for all parties indemnified by such
indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment
of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such
indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such
claim.
(d) The indemnification provided for under this Agreement shall remain in
full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of
the indemnified party or any officer, director or controlling Person of such
indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of securities. The Company also
agrees to make such provisions, as are reasonably requested by any indemnified
party, for contribution to such party in the event the Company's indemnification
is unavailable for any reason. Such indemnification shall remain effective from
the date of this Agreement to and including the termination of the applicable
statute of limitations (plus 60 days).
7. PARTICIPATION IN UNDERWRITTEN REGISTRATIONS.
No Person may participate in any registration hereunder which is
underwritten unless such Person (i) agrees to sell such Person's securities on
the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Person or
Persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements and (ii) completes and
executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting
agreements and other documents required under the terms of such underwriting
arrangements.

market maker in compliance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act (or any
similar rule then in force). For purposes of this Agreement, a Person shall be

any agreement with respect to its securities which is inconsistent with or
violates the rights granted to the holders of Registrable Securities in this
Agreement.
(b) Adjustments Affecting Registrable Securities. The Company shall not
take any action, or permit any change to occur, with respect to its securities
which would adversely affect the ability of the holders of Registrable
Securities to include such Registrable Securities in a registration undertaken
pursuant to this Agreement or which would adversely affect the marketability of
such Registrable Securities in any such registration (including, without
limitation, effecting a stock split or a combination of shares which would have
such an adverse effect).
(c) Remedies. Any Person having rights under any provision of this
Agreement shall be entitled to enforce such rights specifically to recover
damages caused by reason of any breach of any provision of this Agreement and to
exercise all other rights granted by law. The parties hereto agree and
acknowledge that money damages may not be an adequate remedy for any breach of
the provisions of this Agreement and that any party may in its sole discretion
apply to any court of law or equity of competent jurisdiction (without posting
any bond or other security) for specific performance and for other injunctive

the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder
of this Agreement.
(g) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more
counterparts, any one of which need not contain the signatures of more than one
party, but all such counterparts taken together shall constitute one and the
same Agreement.
(h) Descriptive Headings. The descriptive headings of this Agreement are
inserted for convenience only and do not constitute a part of this Agreement.
(i) Governing Law. Issues and questions concerning the construction,
validity, interpretation and enforcement of this Agreement and the exhibits and
schedules hereto shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the
laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice of law or
conflict of law rules or provisions (whether of the State of New York or any
other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any
jurisdiction other than the State of New York; provided, however, that the
matters contained herein that fall specifically within the purview of the
