C. Pursuant to Section 3.1 of the Prior Agreement, holders of at least
66-2/3% of the Registrable Securities (as defined in the Prior Agreement) and
the Company now desire to amend and restate the Prior Agreement in order to set
forth certain registration and other rights of the parties as set forth below.
AGREEMENT:
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and of the mutual
promises and covenants contained herein, the parties agree as follows:
1. REGISTRATION RIGHTS.

issued in lieu or in respect of stock referred to in clause (i) in any
reorganization, or (iii) stock issued in respect of the stock referred to in (i)
and (ii) as a result of a stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or the
like; provided, however, that Registrable Securities shall not include shares of
Common Stock which have previously been registered or which have been sold to
the public either pursuant to a registration statement or Rule 144, or which
have been sold in a private transaction in which the transferor's rights under
this Agreement are not assigned. The terms "Holder" or "Holders" means any
person or persons to whom Registrable Securities were originally issued or
qualifying transferees under Section 1.10 hereof who hold Registrable
Securities.
(c) The term "Initiating Holders" means any Holder or Holders of
50% or greater of the aggregate of the Registrable Securities then outstanding.
(d) The term "SEC" means the Securities and Exchange Commission.
(e) The term "Registration Expenses" shall mean all expenses
incurred by the Company in complying with Sections 1.2, 1.3 and 1.4 hereof,
including, without limitation, all registration, qualification and filing fees,
printing expenses, escrow fees, fees and disbursements of counsel for the
Company, reasonable fees and disbursements of one counsel for the Holders, blue
sky fees and expenses, and the expense of any special audits incident to or
required by any such registration (but excluding the compensation of regular
employees of the Company which shall be paid in any event by the Company.)
1.2. DEMAND REGISTRATION.
(a) REQUEST FOR REGISTRATION. In case the Company shall receive
from Initiating Holders a written request that the Company effect any
registration with respect to at least 25% of the aggregate number of Registrable
Securities then outstanding, the Company will:
2
(i) promptly give written notice of the proposed
registration to all other Holders; and
(ii) as soon as practicable, use its best efforts to effect
all such registrations (including, without limitation, the execution of an
undertaking to file post-effective amendments, appropriate qualifications under
the applicable blue sky or other state securities laws and appropriate
compliance with exemptive regulations issued under the Securities Act and any
other governmental requirements or regulations) as may be so requested and as
would permit or facilitate the sale and distribution of all or such portion of
such Initiating Holder's or Initiating Holders' Registrable Securities as are
specified in such request, together with all or such portion of the Registrable
Securities of any 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 referred to in Section 1.2(a) of this Agreement;
provided that the Company shall not be obligated to take any action to effect
such registration pursuant to this Section 1.2:
(A) at any time prior to the earlier of (i) six (6)
months following the effective date of the registration statement under the
Securities Act for the Company's initial registered underwritten public offering
resulting in gross proceeds to the Company of at least $10,000,000 (the "IPO")
of its securities to the general public (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 an SEC Rule 145
transaction) or (ii) April 30, 2003;
(B) in any particular jurisdiction in which the
Company would be required to execute a general consent to service of process in
effecting such registration, qualification or compliance unless the Company is
already subject to service in such jurisdiction and except as required by the
Securities Act;
(C) after the Company has effected two (2) such
registrations pursuant to this Section 1.2(a) and such registrations have been
declared or ordered effective;
(D) if the Company has effected one (1) registration
pursuant to this Section 1.2(a), and such registration statement has been
declared or ordered effective, within the twelve (12) month period prior to the
date of such request; or
(E) unless the anticipated aggregate proceeds, net of
underwriting discounts and commissions, for such registration exceeds ten
million dollars ($10,000,000).
Subject to the foregoing clauses (A) through (E), the Company shall file a
registration statement covering the Registrable Securities so requested to be
registered as soon as practical, but in any event within one hundred twenty
(120) days, after receipt of the request or requests of the Initiating Holders;
provided, however, that if the Company shall furnish to such holders a
certificate signed by the Chief Executive Officer of the Company stating that in
the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors it would be detrimental to the
Company and its shareholders for such registration statement to be filed at the
date such filing would be required and it is
3
therefore essential to defer the filing of such registration statement, the
Company shall have an additional period of not more than one hundred twenty
(120) days after the expiration of the initial 120-day period within which to
file such registration statement; provided, however, that the Company may not
utilize this right more than once in any twelve month period.
(b) UNDERWRITING. 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 made pursuant to this
Section 1.2 and the Company shall include such information in the written notice
referred to in Section 1.2(a)(i). In such event, the underwriter shall be
selected by the Company and shall be reasonably acceptable to a majority in
interest of the Initiating Holders. The right of any Holder to registration
pursuant to this Section 1.2 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. The Company shall (together with all Holders proposing to
distribute their securities through such underwriting) enter into an
underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters.
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, the Initiating Holders
shall so advise all Holders, and the number of shares of Registrable Securities
that may be included in the registration and underwriting shall be allocated
among all Holders thereof (including the Initiating Holders) in proportion, as
nearly as practicable, to the respective amounts of Registrable Securities held
by such Holders. If any Holder of Registrable Securities disapproves of the
terms of the underwriting, such Holder may elect to withdraw therefrom by
written notice to the Company, the underwriter and the Initiating Holders. Any
Registrable Securities which are excluded from the underwriting by reason of the
underwriter's marketing limitation or withdrawn from such underwriting shall be
withdrawn from such registration.
If shares are so withdrawn from the registration or if the number of shares
of Registrable Securities to be included in such registration was previously
reduced as a result marketing factors, the Company shall then offer to all
persons who have retained the right to include securities in the registration
the right to include additional securities in the registration in an aggregate
amount equal to the number of shares so withdrawn, with such shares to be
allocated among the persons requesting additional inclusion in accordance with
Section 1.14 hereof.
(c) COMPANY SHARES. If the managing underwriter has not limited
the number of Registrable Securities to be underwritten, the Company may include
securities for its own account or for the account of others in such registration
if the managing underwriter so agrees and if the number of Registrable
Securities which would otherwise have been included in such registration and
underwriting will not thereby be limited.
1.3. COMPANY REGISTRATION.
(a) REGISTRATION. If at any time or from time to time, the
Company shall determine to register any of its securities, for its own account
or the account of any of its shareholders, other than a registration on Form S-1
or S-8 relating solely to employee stock option or purchase plans, or a
registration on Form S-4 relating solely to an SEC Rule 145
4
transaction, or a registration on any other form (other than Form X-0, X-0, X-0,
XX-0 or SB-2, or their successor forms) or any successor to such forms, which
does not include substantially the same information as would be required to be
included in a registration statement covering the sale of Registrable
Securities, the Company will:
(i) promptly give to each Holder written notice thereof and
(ii) except as set forth in Section 1.3(b) below, include in
such registration (and compliance), and in any underwriting involved therein,
all of the Registrable Securities requested to be registered by any Holder or
Holders who collectively hold at least 500,000 Registrable Securities in the
aggregate, provided that request(s) by such Holder(s) are delivered to the
Company by the Holder(s) within 20 days after receipt by the Holder(s) of the
written notice from the Company described in Section 1.2(a)(i) above.
(b) UNDERWRITING. If the registration of which the Company gives
notice is for a registered public offering involving an underwriting, the
Company shall so advise the Holders as a part of the written notice given
pursuant to Section 1.3(a)(i). In such event the right of any Holder to
registration pursuant to this Section 1.3 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 securities through such underwriting shall
(together with the Company and the other shareholders distributing their
securities through such underwriting) enter into an underwriting agreement in
customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such
underwriting by the Company. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section
1.3, if the underwriter determines that marketing factors require a limitation
of the number of shares to be underwritten, and (i) if such registration is the
first registered offering of the sale of the Company's securities to the general
public, the underwriter may limit the number of Registrable Securities to be
included in the registration and underwriting, or may exclude Registrable
Securities entirely from such registration and underwriting, or (ii) if such
registration is other than the first registered offering of the sale of the
Company's securities to the general public, the underwriter may limit the amount
of securities to be included in the registration and underwriting by the
Company's shareholders; provided however, the number of Registrable Securities
to be included in such registration and underwriting under this Section 1.3(b)
shall not be reduced to less than thirty percent (30%) of the aggregate
securities included in such registration without the prior consent of at least a
majority in interest of the Holders who have requested their shares to be
included in such registration and underwriting. The Company shall so advise all
Holders of Registrable Securities which would otherwise be registered and
underwritten pursuant hereto, and the number of shares of Registrable Securities
that may be included in the registration and underwriting shall be allocated
among Holders requesting registration in proportion, as nearly as practicable,
to the respective amounts of Registrable Securities held by each of such Holders
as of the date of the notice pursuant to Section 1.3(a)(i) above. If any Holder
disapproves of the terms of the any such underwriting, he may elect to withdraw
therefrom by written notice to the Company and the underwriter. Any Registrable
Securities excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting shall be withdrawn from
such registration.
If shares are so withdrawn from the registration or if the number of shares
of Registrable Securities to be included in such registration was previously
reduced as a result marketing
5
factors, the Company shall then offer to all persons who have retained the right
to include securities in the registration the right to include additional
securities in the registration in an aggregate amount equal to the number of
shares so withdrawn, with such shares to be allocated among the persons
requesting additional inclusion in accordance with Section 1.14 hereof.
For any selling Holder which is a partnership or corporation, the partners,
retired partners and shareholders of such Holder, or the estates and family
members of any such partners and retired partners and any trusts for the benefit
of any of the foregoing persons shall be deemed to be a single selling Holder
such that any pro rata reduction with respect to such selling Holder shall be
based upon the aggregate amount of Registrable Securities owned by all entities
and individuals included in such selling Holder.
1.4. FORM S-3. In addition to the rights and obligations set forth in
Section 1.2 above, if the Company shall receive from any Holder or Holders of
the Registrable Securities (the "S-3 Initiating Holder(s)") a written request
that the Company file a registration statement on Form S-3 (or any successor to
Form S-3) for a public offering of shares of Registrable Securities and any
related qualification or compliance, the reasonably anticipated aggregate price
to the public of which (net of underwriting discounts and commissions) would
exceed $1,000,000 and the Company is then a registrant entitled to use Form S-3
(or any successor form to Form S-3) to register the shares for such a re-sale
offering by the Holders, the Company will give prompt written notice of the
proposed registration, qualification and compliance to all other Holders and
shall use its best efforts to cause such shares to be registered for the
offering as may be requested as soon as practicable on Form S-3 (or any
successor form to Form S-3); provided, however the Company shall not be required
to effect a registration pursuant to this Section 1.4:
(a) in any particular jurisdiction in which the Company would be
required to execute a general consent to service of process in effecting such
registration, qualification or compliance unless the Company is already subject
to service in such jurisdiction and except as may be required by the Securities
Act;
(b) if the Company, within ten (10) days of the receipt of the
request of the S-3 Initiating Holder(s), gives notice of its bona fide intention
to effect the filing of a registration statement with the SEC within sixty (60)
days of receipt of such request (other than with respect to a registration
statement relating to a Rule 145 transaction, an offering solely to employees or
any other registration which is not appropriate for the registration of
Registrable Securities);
(c) during the period starting with the date of filing of, and
ending on a date one hundred eighty (180) days following the effective date of,
a registration statement described in (b) above or pursuant to Section 1.2 ,
provided that the Company is actively employing in good faith all reasonable
efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective and further
provided that no other person or entity could require the Company to file a
registration statement in such period;
(d) if the Company has effected two (2) registrations pursuant
to this Section 1.4 within the 12-month period prior to the date of such
request; or
6
(e) if the Company shall furnish to such S-3 Initiating
Holder(s) a certificate signed by the President of the Company stating that in
the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company, it would be
detrimental to the Company and its shareholders for such registration statement
to be filed on or before the date such filing would be required and it is
therefore essential to defer the filing of such registration statement, in which
case the Company shall have the right to defer such filing for a period of not
more than ninety (90) days after the furnishing of such a certificate of
deferral, provided that the Company may not defer such filing pursuant to this
Section 1.4 more than once in any 12-month period.
In the event such S-3 Initiating Holder(s) propose to offer the shares of
Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 1.4 by means of an underwriting,
the proposed underwriters shall be selected by the Company and shall be
reasonably acceptable to a majority in interest of the Initiating Holders. The
Company shall give written notice to all Holders of the receipt of a request for
registration pursuant to this Section 1.4 and shall provide a reasonable
opportunity for other Holders to participate in the registration, provided that
if the registration is for an underwritten offering, the terms of Section 1.2
(b) shall apply to all participants in such offering.
1.5. EXPENSES OF REGISTRATION. All Registration Expenses incurred in
connection with any registration, qualification or compliance pursuant to this
Section 1 shall be borne by the Company except as follows:
(a) The Company shall not be required to pay for expenses of any
registration proceeding begun pursuant to Section 1.2 , the request for which
has been subsequently withdrawn by the Initiating Holders, in which case such
expenses shall be borne by the Holders requesting such withdrawal unless, at the
time of such withdrawal, the Holders have learned of a material adverse change
in the condition, business or prospects of the Company from that known to the
Initiating Holders at the time of their request.
(b) The Company shall not be required to pay fees or
disbursements of legal counsel of a Holder unless all the Holders specify one
special counsel.
(c) The Company shall not be required to pay underwriters' fees,
discounts or commissions relating to Registrable Securities.
1.6. REGISTRATION PROCEDURES. In the case of each registration,
qualification or compliance effected by the Company pursuant to this Agreement,
the Company will keep each Holder participating therein advised in writing as to
the initiation of each registration, qualification and compliance and as to the
completion thereof. Except as otherwise provided in Section 1.5, at its expense
the Company will:
(a) Prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement with
respect to such Registrable Securities and use its best efforts to cause such
registration statement to become effective and keep such registration statement
effective for up to one hundred eighty (180) days or until the Holder or Holders
have completed the distribution described in the registration statement relating
thereto, whichever first occurs.
(b) Prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and
supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection
with such registration
7
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; provided, however, that with respect to paragraphs (a)
and (b) that before filing a registration statement or prospectus or any
amendments or supplements thereto, the Company will furnish to the Holders of
the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration copies
of all such documents proposed to be filed, which documents will be subject to
the review and comment of counsel of the Holder's choosing.
(c) Furnish to the Holders such numbers 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 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, except as required under the
Securities Act, to file a general consent to service of process in any such
states or jurisdictions.
(e) Cause all such Registrable Securities registered hereunder
to be listed on each securities exchange or automated quotation system on which
similar securities issued by the Company are then listed, 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 11Aa2-1 of
the SEC, 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.
(f) 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 fact necessary to make the statements therein
not misleading, and, at the request of any such seller, the Company will prepare
a supplement or amendment to such prospectus so that, as thereafter delivered to
the purchasers of such Registrable Securities, such prospectus will not contain
an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any fact necessary to
make the statements therein not misleading.
(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 any of the
Holders of the Registrable Securities to be included in such registration and
being sold, or the underwriter(s) or other Person(s) administering the offering,
if any, reasonably request in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of
such Registrable Securities.
8
(i) Make available for inspection by any seller of Registrable
Securities, any underwriter or other Person participating in any disposition
pursuant to such registration statement and any attorney, accountant or other
agent retained by any such seller or underwriter, all financial and other
records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company, and cause
the Company's officers, directors, employees and independent accountants to
supply all information reasonably requested by any such seller, underwriter,
attorney, accountant or agent in connection with such registration statement.
(j) Otherwise use its best efforts to comply with all applicable
rules and regulations of the SEC, 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 will satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the
Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder.
(k) If any such registration or comparable statement refers to
any Holder by name or otherwise as the holder of any securities of the Company
and if in its sole and exclusive judgment, such Holder is or might be deemed to
be an underwriter or a controlling person of the Company, such Holder will have
the right to require (i) the insertion therein of language, in form and
substance satisfactory to such Holder and presented to the Company in writing,
to the effect that the holding by such Holder of such securities is not to be
construed as a recommendation by such Holder of the investment quality of the
Company's securities covered thereby and that such holding does not imply that
such holder will assist in meeting any future financial requirements of the
Company, or (ii) in the event that such reference to such Holder by name or
otherwise is not required by the Securities Act or any similar Federal statute
then in force, the deletion of the reference to such Holder.
(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 will 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;
(n) Provide 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 to the Holders of the Registrable
Securities requested to be included in such registration; and
(o) Provide opinions of counsel covering all such matters
customarily covered regarding the registration of the Company's securities to
the Holders of the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such
registration.
9
1.7. INDEMNIFICATION.
(a) The Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Holder of
Registrable Securities and each of its officers, directors and partners, legal
counsel, accountants, employees and each person controlling such Holder, with
respect to which such registration, qualification or compliance has been
effected pursuant to Agreement, and each underwriter, if any, and each person
who controls any underwriter of the Registrable Securities held by or issuable
to such Holder, against all claims, losses, expenses, damages and liabilities
(or actions in respect thereto) arising out of or based on any untrue statement
(or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any prospectus,
offering circular or other document (including any related registration
statement, notification or the like) incident to any such registration,
qualification or compliance, or based on any 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 any violation or alleged violation by
the Company of the Securities Act, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the
"Exchange Act") and any state securities law or any rule or regulation
promulgated under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any state securities
law and relating to action or inaction required of the Company in connection
with any such registration, qualification or compliance, and will reimburse each
such Holder, each of its officers, directors and partners, legal counsel,
accountants, employees and each person controlling such Holder, each such
underwriter and each person who controls any such underwriter, within a
reasonable amount of time after incurred for any reasonable legal and other
expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating, defending or
settling any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action; provided, however,
that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 1.7(a) shall not apply to
amounts paid in settlement of any such claim, loss, damage, liability, or action
if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld); and provided further, that the Company will
not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such claim, loss, damage
or liability arises out of or is based on any untrue statement or omission based
upon written information furnished to the Company by an instrument duly executed
by such Holder, controlling person or underwriter specifically for use therein.
(b) Each Holder will, if Registrable Securities held by or
issuable to such Holder are included in the securities as to which such
registration, qualification or compliance is being effected, indemnify and hold
harmless the Company, each of its directors and officers, each underwriter, if
any, of the Company's securities covered by such a registration statement, each
person who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, and
each other such Holder, each of its officers, directors and partners and each
person controlling such Holder, against all claims, losses, expenses, damages
and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arising out of or based on any
untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in
any such registration statement, prospectus, offering circular or other
document, or any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading, and will reimburse the Company, such Holders, such directors,
officers, partners, legal counsel, accountants, employees, each person
controlling such Holder or underwriters for any reasonable legal or other
expenses incurred in connection with investigating, defending or settling any
such claim, loss, damage, liability or action, in each case to the extent, but
only to the extent, that such untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) or
omission (or alleged omission) is made in such registration
10
statement, prospectus, offering circular or other document in reliance upon and
in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Holder in
an instrument duly executed by such Holder specifically for use therein;
provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 1.7(b)
shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such claim, loss, damage,
liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the
Holder (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld); and provided further,
that the total amount for which any Holder shall be liable under this Section
1.7(b) shall not in any event exceed the aggregate proceeds received by such
Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities held by such Holder in such
registration. The obligation to indemnify will be individual, not joint and
several, for each Holder.
(c) Each party entitled to indemnification under this Section
1.7 (the "Indemnified Party") shall give notice to the party required to provide
indemnification (the "Indemnifying Party") promptly after such Indemnified Party
has actual knowledge of any claim as to which indemnity may be sought, and shall
permit the Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of any such claim or any
litigation resulting therefrom; provided that counsel for the Indemnifying
Party, who shall conduct the defense of such claim or litigation, shall be
approved by the Indemnified Party (whose approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld), and the Indemnified Party may participate in such defense at such
party's expense; and provided further, that the failure of any Indemnified Party
to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of
its obligations hereunder, unless such failure resulted in prejudice to the
Indemnifying Party; and provided further, that an Indemnified Party (together
with all other Indemnified Parties which may be represented without conflict by
one counsel) shall have the right to retain one separate counsel, with the fees
and expenses to be paid by the Indemnifying Party, if representation of such
Indemnified Party by 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. 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.
(d) The obligations of the Company and Holders under this
Section 1.7 shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable
Securities in a registration statement under this Section 1, and otherwise and
will survive the transfer of the securities.
1.8. INFORMATION BY HOLDER. Any Holder or Holders of Registrable
Securities included in any registration shall promptly furnish to the Company
such information regarding such Holder or Holders and the distribution proposed
by such Holder or Holders as the Company may reasonably request in writing and
as shall be required in connection with any registration, qualification or
compliance referred to herein.
1.9. RULE 144 REPORTING. With a view to making available to 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 at all times to:
11
(a) make and keep public information available, as those terms
are understood and defined in SEC Rule 144, after ninety (90) days after the
effective date of the first registration filed by the Company for an offering of
its securities to the general public;
(b) take such action, including the voluntary registration of
its Common Stock under Section 12 of the Exchange Act, as is necessary to enable
the Holders to utilize Form S-3 for the sale of their Registrable Securities,
such action to be taken as soon as practicable after the end of the fiscal year
in which the first registration statement filed by the Company for the offering
of its securities to the general public is declared effective;
(c) file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other
documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act
(at any time after it has become subject to such reporting requirements); and
(d) so long as a Holder owns any Registrable Securities, to
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 (at any
time after ninety (90) days after the effective date of the first registration
statement filed by the Company for an offering of its securities to the general
public), and of the Securities Act and 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
so filed by the Company as the Holder may reasonably request in complying with
any rule or regulation of the SEC allowing the Holder to sell any such
securities without registration.
1.10. TRANSFER OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS. Holders' rights to cause the
Company to register their securities and keep information available, granted to
them by the Company under Sections 1.2, 1.3, 1.4 and 1.9, may be assigned to a
transferee or assignee of one hundred percent (100%) of a Holder's Registrable
Securities, provided that the Company is given written notice by such Holder at
the time of or within a reasonable time after said transfer, stating the name
and address of said transferee or assignee and identifying the securities with
respect to which such registration rights are being assigned. The foregoing one
hundred percent (100%) limitation shall not apply, however, to (i) transfers by
a Holder which is a limited partnership to its partners or retired partners, an
affiliated limited partnership or other affiliate of such Holder provided,
however, that all such transferees or assignees agree in writing to appoint a
single representative as their attorney-in-fact for the purpose of receiving any
notices and exercising their rights under this Section 1, (ii) transfers to
another holder of Registrable Securities who already possesses registration
rights pursuant to the terms of this Investors' Rights Agreement, (iii)
transfers to a transferee or assignee acquiring more than ten percent (10%) of
the Company's outstanding capital stock, or (iv) transfers by a Holder to
Holder's ancestors, descendants or spouse of an individual holder or to trusts
for the benefit of such person or persons, provided, however, in any such
transfer, the transferee shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms of this
Agreement as if an original signatory thereto.. The Company may prohibit the
transfer of any Holders' rights under this Section 1.10 to any proposed
transferee or assignee who the Company reasonably believes is a competitor of
the Company.
1.11. "MARKET STAND-OFF" AGREEMENT. Each Holder hereby agrees that,
during the period of time (not to exceed 180 days) specified by the Company and
an underwriter of
12
common stock or other securities of the Company following the effective date of
a registration statement of the Company filed under the Securities Act, it shall
not, to the extent requested by the Company and such underwriter, directly or
indirectly sell, offer to sell, contract to sell (including, without limitation,
any short sale), grant any option to purchase, pledge or otherwise transfer or
dispose of (other than to donees who agree to be similarly bound) any securities
of the Company held by it at any time during such period except common stock
included in such registration; provided, however, that such agreement shall not
be required unless all officers, directors and key employees of the Company and
all shareholders holding an equivalent or greater number of shares (on a common
stock equivalent basis) of Company capital stock (collectively the "Company
Signatories") also agree to be bound by such restrictions, and such agreements
shall be no more restrictive on the Holders than the restrictions applicable to
the Company Signatories.
In order to enforce the foregoing covenant, the Company may impose
stop-transfer instructions with respect to the Registrable Securities of each
Holder (and the shares of securities of every other person subject to the
foregoing restriction) until the end of such period.
1.12. TERMINATION OF RIGHTS. The rights of (a) any particular Holder
to cause the Company to register securities under Sections 1.2, 1.3 and 1.4
shall terminate with respect to such Holder following a bona fide, firmly
underwritten public offering of shares of Common Stock registered under the
Securities Act at such time as such Holder is able to dispose of all of his or
its Registrable Securities in one three-month period pursuant to the provisions
of Rule 144, provided that such Holder holds Registrable Securities constituting
less than 1% of the outstanding voting stock of the Company, or is eligible to
sell such Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 144(k) and (b) all Holders to
cause the Company to register securities under Sections 1.2, 1.3 and 1.4 shall
terminate as to all Holders upon the expiration of seven (7) years from the
closing of the IPO.
1.13. CERTAIN LIMITATIONS IN CONNECTION WITH FUTURE GRANTS OF
REGISTRATION RIGHTS. From and after the date of this Agreement, the Company
shall not, without the prior written consent of the Holders of at least a
majority of the outstanding Registrable Securities, enter into any agreement
with any person or persons providing for the granting to such person of
registration rights superior to those granted to Holders pursuant to this
Section 1, or of registration rights which might cause a reduction in the number
of shares includable by the Holders in any offering pursuant to Section 1.2 or
any offering subject to Section 1.3.
1.14. ALLOCATION OF REGISTRATION OPPORTUNITIES. In any circumstance in
which all of the Registrable Securities and other shares of Common Stock of the
Company (including shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon conversion of
shares of any currently unissued series of Preferred Stock of the Company) with
registration rights (the "Other Shares") requested to be included in a
registration on behalf of the Holders or other selling stockholders cannot be so
included as a result of limitations of the aggregate number of shares of
Registrable Securities and Other Shares that may be so included, the number of
shares of Registrable Securities and Other Shares that may be so included shall
be allocated among the Holders and other selling stockholders requesting
inclusion of shares pro rata on the basis of the number of shares of Registrable
Securities and Other Shares that would be held by such Holders and other selling
stockholders, assuming conversion; provided, however, that such allocation shall
not operate to
13
reduce the aggregate number of Registrable Securities and Other Shares to be
included in such registration, if any Holder or other selling stockholder does
not request inclusion of the maximum number of shares of Registrable Securities
and Other Shares allocated to him pursuant to the above-described procedure, the
remaining portion of his allocation shall be reallocated among those requesting
Holders and other selling stockholders whose allocations did not satisfy their
requests pro rata on the basis of the number of shares of Registrable Securities
and Other Shares which would be held by such Holders and other selling
stockholders, assuming conversion, and this procedure shall be repeated until
all of the shares of Registrable Securities and Other Shares which may be
included in the registration on behalf of the Holders and other selling
stockholders have been so allocated.
2. RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL TO PURCHASE EQUITY SECURITIES.
2.1. PURCHASE RIGHT. If at any time the Company should desire to issue
any Equity Securities (as hereinafter defined) in a transaction not registered
under the Securities Act in reliance upon a claimed exemption thereunder, it
shall give the Investors the first right to purchase the Investors' pro rata
share (or any part thereof) of all of such privately offered Equity Securities
on the same terms as the Company is willing to sell such Equity Securities to
any other person (a "Purchase Right"). The Investors' pro rata share of the
Equity Securities shall be equal to that percentage of the outstanding Common
Stock of the Company beneficially owned by the Investors on the date hereof, or,
in the case of the holders of Series G Warrants, on the date of exercise of such
Series G Warrants; provided, however, that no holder of a Series G Warrant shall
have a Purchase Right prior to the exercise of such warrant. For purposes of
this Section 2, the outstanding Common Stock of the Company shall include (i)
outstanding shares of Common Stock, and (ii) shares of Common Stock issued or
issuable upon conversion of any then outstanding Preferred Stock of the Company.
2.2. NOTICE OF INTENT TO SELL AND ISSUE Prior to any sale or issuance
by the Company of any Equity Securities, the Company shall notify each Investor
in writing of its intention to sell and issue such securities, setting forth the
terms under which it proposes to make such sale. Within twenty (20) days after
receipt of such notice, each Investor shall notify the Company whether the
Investor desires to exercise the option to purchase the Investor's pro rata
share (or any part thereof) of the Equity Securities so offered. In no event
shall the Investor be obligated to purchase any Equity Securities pursuant to
this Section 2, nor does the Investor make any representation or warranty that
it plans to do so.
2.3. INVESTOR FAILURE TO PURCHASE. After termination of the twenty
(20) day period specified in Section 2.2 above, the Company may, during a period
of sixty (60) days following the end of such twenty (20) day period, sell and
issue such Equity Securities as to which the Investors do not indicate a desire
to purchase to another person as well as those additional shares of Equity
Securities it originally intended to issue to other persons, upon terms and
conditions no less favorable to the Company than those set forth in the notice
to the Investors. In the event the Company has not sold the Equity Securities,
or has not entered into an agreement to sell the Equity Securities, within said
sixty (60) day period, the Company shall not thereafter issue or sell any Equity
Securities without first offering such securities to the Investors in the manner
provided above.
14
2.4. INVESTOR PURCHASE. If an Investor gives the Company notice that
the Investor desires to purchase any of the Equity Securities offered by the
Company, payment for the Equity Securities shall be by check or wire transfer
against delivery of the Equity Securities at the executive offices of the
Company within twenty (20) days after giving the Company such notice, or, if
later, the closing date for the sale of such Equity Securities. The Company
shall take all such action as may be required by any regulatory authority in
connection with the exercise by the Investor of the Purchase Right.
2.5. EXCLUDED SECURITIES. The Purchase Right contained in this Section
2 shall not apply to the issuance by the Company of Equity Securities (i) to
employees, officers, directors or consultants of the Company when approved by
the Company's Board of Directors, (ii) as part of an acquisition by the Company
of all or substantially all of the assets or shares of another company or entity
whether through a merger, exchange, reorganization or the like, (iii) issued
upon conversion of the Preferred Shares, (iv) issued upon the exercise or
conversion of any of the warrants described in Section 1.1(b), (v) issued in
connection with any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or similar
event, (vi) issued in connection with any commercial debt or lease financing
transaction approved by the Company's Board of Directors, (vii) issued in
connection with research and development partnerships, licensing or
collaborative arrangements or other similar transactions approved by the
Company's Board of Directors or (viii) issued in connection with the IPO.
2.6. TERMINATION. The Purchase Right shall terminate (a) as to any
Investor, when such Investor declines to exercise in full the purchase option
referenced in Section 2.2 above unless the Company requests in writing that such
Investor not exercise such purchase option in full, and (b) as to all Investors,
upon the closing of the IPO.
2.7. EQUITY SECURITIES. The term "Equity Securities" shall mean (i)
Common Stock and rights, options or warrants to purchase Common Stock, (ii) any
security other than Common Stock having voting rights in the election of the
Board of Directors, not contingent upon a failure to pay dividends, (iii) any
security convertible into or exchangeable for any of the foregoing, and (iv) any
agreement or commitment to issue any of the foregoing.
2.8. ASSIGNMENT OF PURCHASE RIGHT. A Holder shall have the right to
assign the Purchase Right to an affiliate of the Investor or to any transferee
of at least thirty percent (30%) of such Holder's Registrable Securities (as
adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations and like events);
provided, however, that such Holder shall retain its Purchase Right with respect
to the portion of Registrable Securities retained by such Holder in the event of
transfers of less than one hundred percent (100%) of such Holder's Registrable
Securities. For the purposes of this Section 2, an "affiliate" shall mean any
partner or shareholder of the Investor or any person or entity that directly or
indirectly through one or more intermediaries controls or is controlled by or is
under common control with the Investor.
3. GENERAL.
3.1. WAIVERS AND AMENDMENTS. With the written consent of the record or
beneficial holders of at least sixty-six and two-thirds (66 2/3 %) of the
Registrable Securities, the obligations of the Company and the rights of the
other parties under this agreement may be
15
waived (either generally or in a particular instance, either retroactively or
prospectively, and either for a specified period of time or indefinitely), and
with the same consent the Company, when authorized by resolution of its Board of
Directors, may enter into a supplementary agreement for the purpose of adding
any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions
of this Agreement; provided, however, that no such modification, amendment or
waiver shall reduce the aforesaid percentage of Registrable Securities without
the consent of all of the Holders of the Registrable Securities; provided
further that in the event that such modification, amendment or waiver shall
adversely affect the rights and/or obligations of one particular series of the
Preferred Stock of the Company in a different manner than the other series of
the Preferred Stock of the Company, then such modification, amendment or waiver
shall also require the written consent or approval of the majority of the
Registrable Securities comprising such adversely affected series. Upon the
effectuation of each such waiver, consent, agreement of amendment or
modification, the Company shall promptly give written notice thereof to the
record holders of the Registrable Securities who have not previously consented
thereto in writing. This Agreement or any provision hereof may be changed,
waived, discharged or terminated only by a statement in writing signed by the
party against which enforcement of the change, waiver, discharge or termination
is sought, except to the extent provided in this Section 3.1.
3.2. GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be governed in all respects
by the laws of the State of
California as such laws are applied to agreements
between
California residents entered into and to be performed entirely within
California.
3.3. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. Except as otherwise expressly provided
herein, the provisions hereof shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding
upon, the successors, assigns, heirs, executors and administrators of the
parties hereto.
3.4. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. Except as set forth below, this Agreement and
the other documents delivered pursuant hereto and, with respect to the holders
of Series G Stock or Series G Warrants, the Merger Agreement and the documents
delivered pursuant thereto, constitute the full and entire understanding and
agreement between the parties with regard to the subjects hereof and thereof,
and this Agreement shall supersede and cancel all prior agreements between the
parties hereto with regard to the subject matter hereof.
3.5. NOTICES, ETC. All notices and other communications required or
permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be delivered effective (i)
upon personal delivery, (ii) one business day after delivery to a reputable
overnight courier service, (iii) upon machine confirmed facsimile transmittal or
(iv) upon receipt if mailed by first class mail, postage prepaid, certified or
registered mail, return receipt requested (a) if to the Investors, at the
addresses as set forth in the Company's records, or at such other addresses as
any Investors shall have furnished to the Company in writing, or (b) if to the
Company, at 00000 Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxxx, XX 00000, Attn.: Chief
Executive Officer, or at such other address as the Company shall have furnished
to the Investors in writing.
3.6. SEVERABILITY. If any provision of this Agreement, or the
application thereof, is for any reason and to any extent determined by a court
of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this
Agreement and the application of such provision
16
to other persons or circumstances will be interpreted so as best to reasonably
effect the intent of the parties hereto. The parties agree to use their best
efforts to replace such void or unenforceable provision of this Agreement with a
valid and enforceable provision which will achieve, to the extent greatest
possible, the economic, business and other purposes of the void or unenforceable
provision.
3.7. TITLES AND SUBTITLES. The titles of the sections of this
Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are not to be considered in
construing this Agreement.
3.8. COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but all of which together
shall constitute one instrument.
3.9. NO INCONSISTENT AGREEMENTS. The Company will not enter into any
agreement with respect to it securities, which is inconsistent with or violates
the rights granted to the Holders of Registrable Securities in this Agreement.
3.10. ADJUSTMENTS AFFECTING REGISTRABLE SECURITIES. The Company will
not take any action, or permit any change to occur, with respect to its
securities which would materially and adversely affect the ability of the
Holders of Registrable Securities to include such Registrable Securities in a
registration undertaken pursuant to this Agreement or which would materially and
adversely affect the marketability of such Registrable Securities in any such
registration.
[THE REMAINDER OF THIS PAGE IS INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK]
