WARRANT
To Purchase Stock of
WORLD WIDE MAGIC NET, INC.
Expiring October 15, 2002
World Wide Magic Net, Inc., a California corporation (the "Company"),
hereby certifies that, for value received, Burlington Coat Factory Warehouse
Corporation ("BCF") or assigns, is entitled, subject to the terms set forth
below, to purchase from the Company at any time or from time to time during the
Exercise Period (as defined in Section 2), that number of fully paid and
nonassessable shares of the Company's Common Stock, no par value (the "Common
Stock"), which equals 10% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, on a fully
diluted basis, immediately following the closing of that certain offering the
Company is currently planning to conduct either pursuant to Regulation A of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), or pursuant to an
exemption from registration under the Securities Act based on Section 25102(n)
of the California Corporate Securities Law of 1968 (the "Offering"). The
purchase price per share for the shares of Common Stock underlying this Warrant
will be set equal to the lesser of (i) $2.00 or (ii) the lowest sales price of a
share sold in the Offering (the "Purchase Price"); provided, however, that if
the Initial Price (as defined in Section 2 below) is less than the then current
Purchase Price, as adjusted, the Purchase Price with respect to the unexercised
portion of this Warrant will be reduced to a price equal to 90% of the Initial
Price. Upon the final closing of the Offering or abandonment, the Company shall
notify BCF of the number of shares of Common Stock covered by this Warrant and
the Purchase Price thereof. Such notice shall be in writing and shall indicate
the number of shares sold in the Offering and outstanding after the offering on
a fully diluted basis and the lowest price at which any shares were sold in the
Offering.
The number and character of the shares of Common Stock covered by this
Warrant and the Purchase Price thereof are subject to adjustment as is
hereinafter provided. The term "Stock"
shall mean, unless the context otherwise requires, the shares of Common Stock
and/or any other securities and property at the time receivable upon the
exercise of this Warrant and, when the context requires, the term the "Company"
shall mean the Company or any successor thereto.
I. The Warrant. This Warrant is issued under and pursuant to the terms
of that certain agreement dated October 15, 1997 (the "Agreement") entered into
by the Company and BCF, and this Warrant and the holders hereof are entitled to
the benefits provided for by, or referred to in, and are subject to the terms
of, the Agreement.
2. Exercise Period; Purchase Price Adjustment. This Warrant shall be
exercisable during the period (the "Exercise Period") commencing on October 15,
1997 and ending at 5:00 p.m., Alhambra, California time, on the earliest of the
following dates: (i) October 15, 2002; or (ii) 30 days after the closing of a
firmly underwritten public offering of the Company's securities (other than a
Regulation A offering, intrastate offering or similar offering) pursuant to an
effective registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "Commission") under the Securities Act, with respect to which
the aggregate gross proceeds to the Company are at least $5,000,000 (the "Public
Offering"), but only if the initial price per share to the public in the Public
Offering (the "Initial Price") is at least $4.00. The Company shall give BCF at
least 30 days prior written notice of the closing of the Public Offering. Any
exercise of this Warrant after receipt of such notice may be conditioned upon
the actual occurrence of the closing of the Public Offering in which event if
such Public Offering is abandoned or if the closing otherwise does not occur,
for any reason, such exercise of the Warrant shall be null and void, and of no
force and effect. If the last day on which this Warrant may be exercised shall
be a Saturday, Sunday or a legal holiday or a day on which banking institutions
doing business in the City of Alhambra and State of California, are authorized
by law to close, this Warrant may be exercised prior to 5:00 p.m., Alhambra,
California time, on the next succeeding full business day in said City of
Alhambra with the same force and effect and at the same purchase price, as if
exercised on the last day herein.
3. Exercise of Warrant; Partial Exercise. This Warrant may be exercised
during the Exercise Period for the full number of shares of Stock at the time
called for hereby by the holder surrendering this Warrant, properly endorsed, to
the Company at its principal office in Alhambra, California or as otherwise
specified pursuant to Section 15 hereof, accompanied by a completed subscription
agreement in the form attached hereto and payment of an amount equal to the
product of (a) the number of shares of Stock called for on the face of this
Warrant (without giving effect to any adjustment therein) and (b) the Purchase
Price, which payment or payments shall be made, at the option of such holder, by
check in such amount, payable to the order of the Company.
This Warrant may be exercised during the Exercise Period for less than
the full number of shares of Stock at the time called for hereby by such a
surrender. Upon any such partial
2
exercise, the Company at its expense will forthwith, and in any event within 10
days of such partial exercise, issue to the holder hereof a new Warrant or
Warrants of like tenor calling in the aggregate on their face for the number of
shares of Stock for which this Warrant shall not have been exercised, issued in
the name of the holder hereof or of such person as such holder (upon payment by
such holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may direct.
4. Delivery of Stock Certificates on Exercise. As soon as practicable
after the exercise of this Warrant and payment of the appropriate amount payable
upon the exercise hereof, and in any event within 10 days thereafter, the
Company at its expense (including the payment by it of any applicable issue tax)
will cause to be issued in the name of and delivered to the holder hereof, or to
such person as such holder (upon payment by such holder of any applicable
transfer taxes) may direct, a certificate or certificates for the number of full
shares of Stock to which such holder would be entitled upon such exercise, plus
cash in lieu of each fractional share to which such holder would otherwise be
entitled; provided, however, that, in case such shares or Stock shall not have
been registered under the Securities Act, (i) the Company may require that such
holder furnish to the Company a written statement that such holder is purchasing
such shares for such holder's own account for investment and not with a view to
the distribution thereof (other than sales permitted by the Securities Act or
the rules and regulations thereunder to be made without registration), subject,
nevertheless, to any requirement of law that the disposition of the property of
such holder shall at all times be within its own control, and (ii) the Company
shall not be obligated to issue and deliver any certificate for Stock to or in
the name of any person other than the holder of this Warrant, unless, in the
opinion of counsel to the holder of this Warrant, (concurred in by counsel to
the Company), such certificate may be so issued and delivered without
registration under the Securities Act.
5. Restrictions on Transfer. Holder shall not sell, transfer (with or
without consideration), assign, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of
(collectively, "Transfer") this Warrant or any Stock (collectively, the
"Securities") unless the Securities are disposed of pursuant to and in
conformity with an effective registration statement filed with the Commission
pursuant to the Securities Act, or pursuant to an available exemption from the
registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act, and the
proposed disposition will not result in a violation of the securities laws of
any state of the United States. If requested by the Company, holder shall, prior
to the transfer of such Securities, deliver to the Company a written opinion of
counsel, satisfactory to the Company and its counsel, that the proposed
disposition will comply with the requirements set forth in this Section 5. Any
attempted Transfer which is not in full compliance with this Section 5 shall be
null and void ab initio, and of no force or effect. In furtherance thereof, any
certificate evidencing the Securities shall bear the following legend:
THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN
REGISTERED UNDER THE
3
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, HAVE BEEN TAKEN FOR
INVESTMENT, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED, ASSIGNED,
PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF EXCEPT IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE COMPANY
AND THE REGISTERED HOLDER HEREOF, A COPY OF WHICH AGREEMENT IS
ON FILE AT THE PRINCIPAL OFFICES OF THE COMPANY.
The Company may, at its option, place notations evidencing the
foregoing restrictions on transfer in its shareholders register, and may place
appropriate "stop transfer" instructions with its transfer agent, if any.
6. Adjustment for Dividends in Other Stock, Property;
Reclassifications. In case at any time or from time to time after October 15,
1997 (the "Issue Date") the holders of shares of the Common Stock of the Company
(or any shares of stock or other securities at the time receivable upon the
exercise of this Warrant) shall have received, or, on or after the record date
fixed for the determination of eligible shareholders, shall have become entitled
to receive, without payment therefor:
(i) additional stock or other securities or property (other than
cash) by way of dividend; or
(ii) any cash paid or payable out of capital or paid-in surplus or
surplus created as a result of a revaluation of property; or
(iii) other or additional stock or other securities or property
(including cash) by way of stock-split, spin-off, split-up, reclassification,
combination of shares or similar corporate rearrangement;
(other than additional shares of Common Stock or any other stock or securities
into which such Common Stock shall have been changed, or any other stock or
securities convertible into or exchangeable for such Common Stock or such other
stock or securities, issued in connection with a transaction covered by the
terms of Section 7), then in each such case the holder of this warrant, upon the
exercise hereof as provided in Section 3, shall be entitled to receive the
amount of stock or other securities and property (including cash in the cases
referred to in clause (ii) and (iii) above) to which such holder would have been
entitled on the date of such exercise if on the Issue Date he had been the
holder of record of the number of shares of Common Stock called for on the face
of this Warrant and had thereafter, during the period from the Issue Date to and
including the date of such exercise, retained such shares and/or such other or
additional stock and other securities and property (including cash in the cases
referred to in clause (ii) and (iii) above)
4
receivable by him as aforesaid during such period, giving effect to all
adjustments called for during such period by Section 7.
7. Adjustment for Reorganization, Consolidation, Merger. In case of any
reorganization of the Company (or any other corporation the stock or other
securities or property of which are at the time receivable on the exercise of
this Warrant) after the Issue Date or in case, after the Issue Date, the Company
(or any such other corporation) shall consolidate with or merge with or into
another corporation or convey all or substantially all its assets to another
corporation, then and in each such case the holder of this Warrant, upon the
exercise hereof as provided in Section 3 at any time after the consummation of
such reorganization, consolidation, merger or conveyance, shall be entitled to
receive, in lieu of the Common Stock or other securities or property receivable
upon the exercise of this Warrant prior to such consummation, the securities or
property to which such holder would have been entitled upon such consummation if
such holder had exercised this Warrant immediately prior thereto and received
Common Stock or such other securities or property at the time receivable upon
the exercise of this Warrant, all subject to further adjustment as provided in
Section 6; in each such case, the terms of this Warrant shall be applicable to
the shares of stock or other securities or property receivable upon the exercise
of this Warrant after such consummation.
8. No Dilution or Impairment. The Company will not, by amendment of its
Certificate of Incorporation or through reorganization, consolidation, merger,
dissolution, issue or sale of securities, sale of assets or any other voluntary
action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms
of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out
of all such terms and in the taking of all such action as may be reasonably
necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the holder of this
Warrant. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (a) will
not increase the par value of any shares of Stock receivable upon the exercise
of this Warrant above the amount payable therefor upon such exercise and (b)
will take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the
Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of
Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant at such time.
9. Accountants' Certificate as to Adjustments. In each case of an
adjustment in the shares of Stock receivable on the exercise of this Warrant,
the Company shall, or at the written request of BCF, shall cause, at the
Company's expense, independent public accountants of recognized standing
selected by the Company (who may be the independent public accountants then
auditing the books of the Company) to, compute such adjustment in accordance
with the terms of this Warrant and prepare a certificate setting forth such
adjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment is based.
The Company will forthwith mail a copy of each such certificate to the holder of
this Warrant.
10. Notices of Record Date. In case
5
(i) the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common
Stock (or other stock or securities at the time receivable upon the exercise of
this Warrant) for the purpose of entitling them to receive any dividend (other
than a cash dividend) or other distribution, or any right to subscribe for or
purchase any shares of stock of any class or any other securities, or to receive
any other right; or
(ii) of any capital reorganization of the Company, any
reclassification of the capital stock of the Company, any consolidation or
merger of the Company with or into another corporation, or any conveyance of all
or substantially all of the assets of the Company to another corporation; or
(iii) of any voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or
winding-up of the Company; then, and in each case, the Company will mail or
cause to be mailed to the holder of this Warrant a notice specifying, as the
case may be, (a) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of
such dividend, distribution or right, and stating the amount and character of
such dividend, distribution or right, or (b) the date on which such
reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, conveyance,
dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is to take place, and the time, if any is
to be fixed, as of which the holders of record of Common Stock (or such other
stock or securities at the time receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant)
shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock (or such other stock
or securities) for securities or other property deliverable upon such
reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, conveyance,
dissolution, liquidation or winding-up. Such notice shall be mailed at least 30
days prior to the date therein specified.
11. Reservation of Stock Issuable on Exercise of Warrants. The Company
will at all times reserve and keep available, solely for issuance and delivery
upon the exercise of this Warrant, all such shares of Common Stock, and/or other
stock, securities and property as from time to time might be receivable upon the
exercise of this Warrant.
12. Right of First Refusal. If at any time and from time to time during
the Exercise Period of this Warrant, the Company proposes to issue or offer for
sale Common Stock or any other class or series of its equity securities or
securities convertible into equity securities, the Company shall upon each such
occasion at least thirty (30) days prior thereto send written notice thereof to
the holder of this Warrant specifying (a) the date on which the proposed issue
or sale shall take place, (b) the number and kind of securities proposed to be
issued or sold, (c) the purchase price or exercise price thereof, and (d) any
prospectus, offering memorandum or other material describing the Company and the
securities and the terms of such offering, including without limitation, the
financial statements and other information delivered or to be delivered to
offerees of the proposed issue or offering. Simultaneously therewith, the
Company shall offer to the holder the right to acquire the securities proposed
to be issued, at the proposed sale or
6
exercise price thereof, in an amount equal to the proportion that the number of
shares of Stock underlying this Warrant bears to the total number of shares of
the Company's equity securities that are outstanding, on a fully diluted basis,
as of such date. If the holder of this Warrant shall fail to notify the Company
of its intention to participate in such issue or offering within fifteen (15)
days after receipt of the Company's notice of issue or offering, or if such
holder shall have notified the Company of its intention to participate but the
total number of shares proposed to be issued or sold which such holder desires
to acquire shall be in the aggregate less than number of shares the holder may
purchase, then the Company may offer such securities which shall not have been
subscribed for by the holder of this Warrant, to the other offerees in the
proposed issue or offering. If the holder exercises its right of first refusal
to purchase securities in such issue or offering, the holder shall participate
in the closing thereof with respect to the securities subscribed for by it at
the same time, in the same manner and on the same terms and conditions as the
other purchasers in such offering. If the purchase or exercise of the securities
in such offering shall change or otherwise be adjusted prior to closing, then on
each such occasion, the Company shall again offer to the holder of this Warrant
the right to purchase such securities upon such revised terms and conditions
exercisable by notice to the Company within ten (10) days after receipt of
written notice of the revised terms thereof in the same manner as aforesaid.
The rights established by this Section 12 shall have no application to
any of the following:
(i) the issuance of securities amounting to or exercisable for up to
10% of the Company's fully diluted outstanding equity pursuant to options or
purchase rights granted under the Company's employee incentive or option plans;
(ii) the issuance of securities of the Company or any subsidiary in
connection with a merger or consolidation or an acquisition by the Company or
such subsidiary which has been approved by the shareholders;
(iii) securities issued pursuant to any rights or agreements
including, without limitation, convertible securities, options and warrants,
provided that the rights established by this Section 12 applied with respect to
the initial sale or grant by the Company of such rights or agreements; or
(iv) any securities that are issued by the Company in a firmly
underwritten public offering registered under the Securities Act.
13. Additional Warrants. Subject to the limitations set forth below, if
at any time and from time to time during the Exercise Period of this Warrant,
the Company proposes to issue or offer for sale Common Stock or any other class
or series of its equity securities or options or warrants to purchase equity
securities, other than in connection with non-convertible debt financing, and
BCF does not exercise its first refusal right granted by Section 12 above, the
7
Company shall, upon the closing of such offering, issue to BCF a warrant to
purchase the type of securities sold in such offering. The terms of such warrant
shall be identical to the terms of this Warrant, except that such warrant will
entitle BCF to purchase that number of shares equal to 10% of the shares sold in
such offering and the exercise price per share shall be equal to the sales price
per share of the securities sold in such offering.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not issue BCF an
additional warrant and the rights established by this Section 13 shall have no
application, with respect to any of the following:
(i) the issuance of securities amounting to or exercisable for up to
10% of the Company's fully diluted outstanding equity pursuant to options or
purchase rights granted under the Company's employee incentive or option plans;
(ii) the issuance of securities of the Company or any subsidiary in
connection with a merger or consolidation or an acquisition by the Company or
such subsidiary which has been approved by the shareholders;
(iii) securities issued pursuant to any rights or agreements
including, without limitation, convertible securities, options and warrants,
provided that the rights established by this Section 13 applied with respect to
the initial sale or grant by the Company of such rights or agreements; or
(iv) any securities that are issued by the Company in a Public
Offering (as defined in Section 2).
14. Listing on Securities Exchanges; Registration. In case at any time
any Common Stock, or other stock or securities of a character at the time
receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be listed on any securities
exchange, the Company will also list and keep listed thereon, on official notice
of issuance upon the exercise of this Warrant (provided that the rules of such
exchange shall permit shall listing), all shares of Common Stock, and other
stock or securities from time to time receivable upon the exercise of this
Warrant which are so registered, and will register the same and keep the same
registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange
Act"), and will timely file all reports which may be required to be filed under
the Exchange Act by companies having a class of equity securities so registered.
15. Register of Warrants; Exchange of Warrants. The Company shall
maintain at its principal office in Alhambra, California, or such other
principal office of the Company as the Company may specify to the holder hereof
in writing, a register and appropriate books for the register of this Warrant
and the transfer thereof. Upon surrender for exchange of this Warrant (in
negotiable form, if not surrendered by the holder named on the face hereof) to
the Company
8
at its principal office, the Company at its expense will issue and deliver a new
Warrant or Warrants of like tenor, calling in the aggregate on their face for
the same number of shares of Common Stock as are called for on the face of this
Warrant, in the denomination or denominations requested, to or on the order of
such holder and in the name of such holder or of such person as such holder
(upon payment by such holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may direct;
provided, however, that, in case the Warrant or Warrants so surrendered shall
not have been registered under the Securities Act, the Company shall not be
obligated to issue and deliver any Warrant or Warrants to or in the name of any
person other than the holder or holders of the Warrant or Warrants so
surrendered or in denominations other than the denomination of this Warrant or
Warrants so surrendered unless, in the opinion of counsel to the holder of this
Warrant (concurred in by counsel to the Company), such Warrant or Warrants may
be so issued and delivered without registration under the Securities Act.
16. Replacement of Warrant. Upon receipt of evidence reasonably
satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of
this Warrant and (in the case of loss, theft or destruction) upon delivery of an
indemnity agreement in such reasonable amount as the Company may determine, or
(in the case of mutilation) upon surrender and cancellation thereof, the Company
at its expense will issue, in lieu thereof, a new Warrant of like tenor.
17. Compliance with Xxxx-Xxxxx Act. In the event that any exercise of
this Warrant pursuant to Section 3 hereof shall be subject to pre-merger
notification and related filings with the Federal Trade Commission (the "FTC")
and the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice (the "Department of
Justice") (or any other governmental agency) pursuant to the Xxxx-Xxxxx-Xxxxxx
Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 (or any similar act at the time in effect)
(the "Xxxx-Xxxxx Act"), the Company shall, upon receipt of notice thereof from
the holder hereof, promptly prepare and make any required filings with, and
shall thereafter promptly make any required submission to, the FTC and the
Department of Justice (or such other governmental agency) pursuant to the
Xxxx-Xxxxx Act with respect to such exercise. The Company shall cooperate with
and assist the holder hereof in the preparation of any filings and the making of
any submissions required so to be filed or submitted by the holder hereof
pursuant to the Xxxx-Xxxxx Act in connection with such exercise. In addition, if
so requested by the holder hereof, the Company shall join in any request of the
holder hereof to the FTC or the Department of Justice (or such other
governmental agency) for early termination of the Xxxx-Xxxxx Act waiting period
applicable to such exercise.
18. Negotiability. This Warrant is issued upon the following terms, to
all of which each taker or owner hereof consents and agrees:
(i) subject to Section 5, title to this Warrant may be transferred,
by endorsement (by the holder hereof executing the form of assignment attached
hereto) and
9
delivered in the same manner as in the case of a negotiable instrument
transferrable by endorsement and delivery;
(ii) any person in possession of this Warrant properly endorsed is
authorized to represent himself as absolute owner hereof and is granted power to
transfer absolute title hereto by endorsement and delivery hereof to a bona fide
purchaser hereof for value; each prior taker or owner waives and renounces all
of his equities or rights in this Warrant in favor of every such bona fide
purchaser, and every such bona fide purchaser shall acquire absolute title
hereto and to all rights represented hereby; and
(iii) until this Warrant is transferred on the books of the Company,
the Company may treat the registered holder of this Warrant as the absolute
owner hereof for all purposes without being affected by any notice to the
contrary.
19. Registration Rights.
19.1 Registration on Request. (a) If, at any time when the Company is
entitled to file a registration statement on a Form S-3 Registration Statement,
the holders of Registrable Stock propose to dispose of at least 10% of the
shares of Registrable Stock pursuant to a Form S-3 Registration Statement, then
such holders may request the Company in writing to effect such registration. The
Company agrees that it will, as soon as practicable after receipt of such
notice, use its best efforts to effect such registration (and keep the same
effective for 120 days) and use its best efforts to effect such qualification
and compliance as would permit or facilitate the distribution of such
Registrable Stock in New York and California. The Company shall not be obligated
to effect any registration, qualification and/or compliance pursuant to this
Section 19.1, (i) more than ten times; (ii) which would become effective within
180 days following the effective date of a registration statement (other than a
registration statement filed on Form S-8) filed by the Company with the
Commission pertaining to an underwritten public offering of securities for cash
for the account of the Company or its other shareholders; or (iii) if, in the
good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company, it would be
seriously detrimental to the Company and its shareholders for such registration
statement to be filed and it is therefore essential to defer the filing of such
registration statement; provided, the Company shall have the right to defer
taking action with respect to such filing for a period of not more than 90 days.
"Registrable Stock" means (x) the Common Stock issued upon the exercise of this
Warrant and the other Warrants resulting from an assignment this Warrant, (y)
any Common Stock received upon exercise of a right of first refusal granted
pursuant to Section 12 of this Warrant and the other Warrants resulting from an
assignment this Warrant and (z) any other securities issued upon exercise of
this Warrant or after exercise of a right of first refusal if securities of the
same class have been registered by the Company. Each share of Registrable Stock
shall continue to be Registrable Stock in the hands of each subsequent holder
thereof; provided, that each share of Registrable Stock shall cease to be
Registrable Stock when transferred to any person pursuant to a
10
registered public offering or pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated by the Commission
under the Securities Act.
(a) Promptly upon receipt of any request for registration pursuant to
Section 19.1(a), the Company agrees that it will give written notice of such
request to all holders of Registrable Stock at the time outstanding and will
afford to all such holders an opportunity to join in such request. If the
registration is to be firmly underwritten, only securities which are to be
included in the underwriting may be included in the registration.
(b) Any holder of Registrable Stock, who shall make or join in any
request to the Company pursuant to Section 19.1(a) shall furnish to the Company
in writing such information as the Company may reasonably require for inclusion
in the registration statement (and the prospectus included therein) and shall
not (until further notice) effect sales of the shares covered by the
registration statement after receipt of telecopied or written notice from the
Company to suspend sales to permit the Company to correct or update a
registration statement or prospectus.
(c) No security to be newly issued by the Company or held by any
other security holders of the Company shall be included in a registration
statement filed pursuant to this Section 19 and the Company shall not file a
registration statement, other than on Form S-8, until 60 days after the
effective date of any registration statement filed pursuant to Section 19.
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Section 19, no person (as defined, for these purposes, in Rule 144(a)(2) of the
Commission) who then beneficially owns 1% or less of the then outstanding Common
Stock (including the Registrable Stock) of the Company may include any of its
shares of Registrable Stock in any registration statement filed by the Company
pursuant to this Section 19 unless, in the opinion of counsel for the Company,
such person's intended disposition of Registrable Stock could not be effected
within 90 days of the date of said opinion without registration of such shares
under the Securities Act (assuming, for this purpose, that if "current public
information" (as defined in Rule 144(c) of the Commission under the Securities
Act) is available with respect to the Company as of the date of such opinion, it
will remain so available for such 90-day period).
19.2 Piggyback Registration. Prior to the Company's initial public
offering ("IPO"), the Company agrees that it will give written notice of the IPO
to all holders of Registrable Stock at the time outstanding and will afford to
all such holders an opportunity to join in the IPO; provided, however, that the
number of shares of Registrable Stock that each such holder may include shall in
no event exceed that number obtained by multiplying the number of shares of
Registrable Stock owned by such holder by a fraction (a) the numerator of which
shall be the number of shares of Common Stock the Company proposes to include in
the IPO (excluding the shares to be disposed of in the IPO by the holders of
Registrable Stock); and (b) the denominator
11
of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock (on a fully diluted
basis) that will be outstanding after the IPO. If the IPO is to be firmly
underwritten, all holders of Registrable Stock participating in the IPO must
sell their shares to the underwriter on the same terms and conditions as the
Company and all other selling shareholders. Any holder of Registrable Stock, who
shall join in the IPO shall furnish to the Company in writing such information
as the Company may reasonably require for inclusion in the registration
statement (and the prospectus included therein) and shall not (until further
notice) effect sales of the shares covered by the registration statement after
receipt of telecopied or written notice from the Company to suspend sales to
permit the Company to correct or update a registration statement or prospectus.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 19, no person
(as defined, for these purposes, in Rule 144(a)(2) of the Commission) who then
beneficially owns 1% or less of the then outstanding Common Stock (including the
Registrable Stock) of the Company may include any of its shares of Registrable
Stock in the IPO unless, in the opinion of counsel for the Company rendered
prior to the IPO, such person's intended disposition of Registrable Stock could
not be effected within 90 days after the closing of the IPO without registration
of such shares under the Securities Act (assuming, for this purpose, that
"current public information" (as defined in Rule 144(c) of the Commission under
the Securities Act) will be available with respect to the Company and that it
will remain so available for such 90-day period). Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained in this Section 19, the Company may decide, in its sole
and absolute discretion, not to proceed with or to discontinue the IPO.
19.3 Registration Procedures. The Company agrees that it will furnish
