Demand Registration (a) After the earlier of (i) five (5) years after the date of the Prior Agreement or (ii) six (6) months after the effective date of a Qualifying IPO, if the Company receives a written request from the Holders of at least a majority of the Registrable Securities then- outstanding that the Company file a registration statement under the Securities Act (provided that the anticipated aggregate offering price would exceed $5,000,000), then the Company shall:
(i) within thirty (30) days of the receipt thereof, give written notice of such request to all Holders; and
(ii) use its best efforts to effect, as soon as practicable after receipt of such request, the registration under the Securities Act of that number of Registrable Securities which the Holders requested to be registered, subject to the limitations of Section 1.2(b), within thirty (30) days of the mailing of such notice by the Company.
(b) If the Holders initiating the registration request hereunder (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 Section 1.2(a) and the Company shall include such information in the written notice referred to in Section 1.2(a). In such event, the right of any Holder to include its Registrable Securities in such registration shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting (unless otherwise mutually agreed by a majority in interest of the Initiating Holders and such Holder) to the extent provided herein. All Holders proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting shall (together with the Company as provided in Section 1.5(f)) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting; provided, however, that no Holder (or any of their assignees) shall be required to make any representations, warranties or indemnities except as they relate to such Holder’s ownership of shares and authority to enter into the underwriting agreement and to such Holder’s intended method of distribution, and the liability of such Holder shall be limited to an amount equal to the net proceeds from the offering received by such Holder. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 1.2, 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.
(c) The Company shall not be obligated to effect, or to take any action to effect, any registration pursuant to this Section 1.2:
(i) After the Company has effected two (2) registrations pursuant to this Section 1.2 and such registrations have been declared or ordered effective; or
(ii) If the Company delivers notice to the Initiating Holders within thirty (30) days of such Initiating Holders’ registration request that the Company intends to file 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 transaction pursuant to Rule 145 of the Securities Act (“SEC Rule 145”)) within sixty (60) days from the date of such notice.
Requested Registration (a) If the Company shall receive at any time a written request from the Holders of Registrable Securities having market value (based on the average closing price of the Common Stock on the principal trading exchange or system for the ten (10) trading days preceding the date of the request) exceeding three hundred million dollars ($300,000,000) that the Company file a registration statement under the Securities Act for the sale of Registrable Securities for an aggregate public offering price of at least ten million dollars ($10,000,000), the Company shall notify within ten (10) days of receipt thereof, in writing, all Holders of Registrable Securities of such request, and shall use its best efforts to effect as soon as practicable the registration under the Act of all Registrable Securities which the Holders request to be registered within twenty (20) days of the mailing of such notice by the Company in accordance with Section 5.5."
4. Except as provided herein, the Rights Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. If one or more provisions of this Amendment are held to be unenforceable under applicable law, such provision shall be excluded from this Amendment and the balance of this Amendment shall be interpreted as if such provision were so excluded and shall be enforceable in accordance with its terms.
5. Nothing in this Amendment, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any party, other than the parties hereto, and their respective successors and assigns, any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Amendment, except as expressly provided herein.
6. This Amendment shall be governed by and construed under the laws of the State of California in the United States of America as applied to agreements among California residents entered into and to be performed entirely within California.
7. This Amendment may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
Piggy Back Registration (a) If the Company shall, at any time prior to the expiration of this Warrant, authorize a registration of its Common Stock with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), the Company shall furnish the Holder with at least 30 days prior written notice thereof and the Holder shall have the option to include the Shares to be issued to the Holder upon the exercise of this Warrant in such registration statement. The Holder shall exercise the "piggy-back registration rights" granted pursuant to this Section 7 by giving written notice to the Company within 20 days of the receipt of the written notice from the Company described above.
(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Warrant, the Company's obligations under this Section 7 shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:
(i) The obligations of the Company set forth under this Section 7 shall not arise upon the filing of a registration statement that covers any of the following: (A) securities proposed to be issued in exchange for assets or securities of another corporation; (B) debt securities not convertible into, or exchangeable for, shares of Common Stock; (C) securities to be issued pursuant to a transaction registered on Form S-4 (or any registration form promulgated by the SEC in substitution of that form); or (D) a stock option, stock bonus, stock purchase, or other employee benefit or compensation plan or securities issued or issuable pursuant to any such plan.
(ii) If the Company files a registration statement in connection with an underwritten public offering of Common Stock, the Company shall use its best efforts to cause the managing underwriter of the proposed offering to grant any request by the Holder that Shares purchased by the Holder upon the exercise of this Warrant be included in the proposed public offering on terms and conditions that are customary under industry practice. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the managing underwriter of the public offering of the Common Stock gives written notice to the Company that, in the reasonable opinion of such managing underwriter, marketing factors require a limitation of the total number of shares of Common Stock to be underwritten, then the number of Shares purchased by the Holder upon the exercise of this Warrant that the Company shall be obligated to include in the registration statement shall be reduced in accordance with the limitations imposed by the managing underwriter.
(iii) The Holder must provide to the Company all information, and take all action, the Parent reasonably requests with reasonable advance notice, to enable it to comply with any applicable law or regulation or to prepare the registration statement that will cover the Shares that will be included in the registration.
(c) The Company will pay all Registration Expenses (as defined below) in connection with the registration of the Shares pursuant to this Section 7. For purposes of this Warrant, the term "Registration Expenses" shall mean all expenses incurred by the Company in complying with this Section 7, including, without limitation, all registration and filing fees, exchange listing fees, printing expenses, fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, state Blue Sky fees and expenses, transfer agent fees, cost of engraving of stock certificates, costs for mailing and tombstone advertising, cost of preparing the registration statement, related exhibits, amendments and supplements thereto, underwriting documents, selected dealer agreements, preliminary and final prospectuses, and the expense of any special audits incident to or required by any such registration, but excluding underwriting discounts and selling commissions attributable to the Shares and the fees and expenses of the Holder's own counsel and accountants, which shall be borne by the Holder.
Required Registration (a) On two (2) occasions after the date that is the earlier of (i) Monday, July 19, 2010, and (ii) one hundred eighty (180) days after the consummation of the initial Public Offering, Holders of at least a majority of the Registrable Securities then outstanding may require the Company to register such Holders’ Registrable Securities under the Securities Act. Such Holders shall notify the Company in writing that it or they intend to offer or cause to be offered for public sale of all or any portion of the Registrable Securities, and within ten (10) days of the receipt after such notice, the Company will so notify all Holders of Registrable Securities.
(b) Upon written request of any Holder given within thirty (30) days after the receipt by such Holder from the Company of such notification, the Company will use its best efforts to cause all or any part of the Registrable Securities that may be requested by any Holder thereof (including the Holders giving the initial notice of intent to offer (each an “Initiating Holder” and collectively the “Initiating Holders”)) to be registered under the Securities Act as expeditiously as possible; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to effect any such registration pursuant to this Section 2.2 unless the proposed aggregate dollar amount of the offering (valued at the high end of a proposed offering range) of the Registrable Securities requested to be included is at least $10,000,000.
(c) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 2.2 or Section 2.3 to the contrary, if the Company furnishes to the Holders requesting any registration pursuant to such sections 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 be detrimental to the Company and that it is in the best interests of the Company to defer the filing of a registration statement, then the Company shall have the right to defer the filing of a registration statement with respect to such offering for a period of not more than one hundred and eighty (180) days from receipt by the Company of the request by the Initiating Holder; provided, however, that the Company may not exercise such right more than once in any twelve-month period.
(d) 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 part of their request and the Company shall include such information in the written notice referred to above.
(e) The underwriter shall be selected by a majority in interest of the Initiating Holders and shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company. In such event, the right of any Holder to include his, her or 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 underwriters selected for such underwriting.
(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the managing underwriter shall impose a limitation on the number of shares of Common Stock included in any such registration statement because, in such underwriter’s judgment, such limitation is necessary based on market conditions, the Company shall be obligated to include in such registration statement, with respect to the Holders of Registrable Securities which would otherwise be underwritten pursuant hereto, only an amount of Registrable Securities equal to the product of (i) the number of Registrable Securities that remain available for registration after the underwriter’s cut back and (ii) such Holder’s Ownership Percentage; provided, however, that the number of Registrable Securities to be included in such underwriting shall not be reduced unless all other securities other than the Registrable Securities are first entirely excluded from the underwriting.
(g) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be obligated to effect, or to take any action to effect, any registration pursuant to this Section 2.2: (i) after the Company has effected two (2) registrations pursuant to this Section 2.2 and such registrations have been declared or ordered effective; (ii) during the period ending on a date one hundred eighty (180) days after the consummation of the initial Public Offering; or (iii) if within thirty (30) days after receipt by the Company of the Holders’ initial notice of intent to offer, the Company furnishes to such Holders requesting registration a certificate signed by the President of the Company stating the Company’s intent to file a registration statement for the initial Public Offering within the following ninety (90) days.
Piggy-Back Registrations If, at any time during the Effectiveness Period, there is not an effective Registration Statement covering all of the Registrable Securities and the Company shall determine to prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement relating to an offering for its own account or the account of others under the Securities Act of any of its equity securities, other than on Form S-4 or Form S-8 (each as promulgated under the Securities Act) or their then equivalents relating to equity securities to be issued solely in connection with any acquisition of any entity or business or equity securities issuable in connection with the Company’s stock option or other employee benefit plans, then the Company shall deliver to each Holder a written notice of such determination and, if within fifteen days after the date of the delivery of such notice, any such Holder shall so request in writing, the Company shall include in such registration statement all or any part of such Registrable Securities such Holder requests to be registered; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to register any Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 6(e) that are eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144 (without volume restrictions or current public information requirements) promulgated by the Commission pursuant to the Securities Act or that are the subject of a then effective Registration Statement.
