Section 2.01. Composition of the Board. (a) The Board shall consist of eight directors, of whom (i) two directors will be designated by either (A) CVC Equity Fund, at any time it holds Common Units or (B) the CVC US Securityholder Representative, at any time when the CVC Equity Fund does not hold Common Units (such designating party, the “CVC US Designator”), (ii) two directors will be designated by either (A) FP LP, at any time it holds Common Units or (B) the FP Securityholder Representative, at any time when FP LP does not hold Common Units (such designating party, the “FP Designator”), (iii) one director will be designated by either (A) CVC Asia II LP, at any time it holds any Common Units or (B) the CVC Asia Pacific Securityholder Representative, at any time when CVC Asia II LP does not hold Common Units (such designating party, the “CVC AP Designator”), (iv) one director will be the chief executive officer of the Company for so long as he or she is employed by the Company, (v) one director will be the chief financial officer of the Company for so long as he or she is employed by the Company and (vi) the remaining director will be an independent director designated by the CVC US Designator and the FP Designator. If the number of directors that comprise the entire Board is increased in accordance with Section 2.05, the number of directors added to the Board (the “Additional Directors”) must be a multiple of two, and for every two Additional Directors, the CVC US Designator shall be permitted to designate one such Additional Director and the FP Designator shall be permitted to designate one such Additional Director; provided, that in the event that, following any increase in the number of directors, the Board consists of twelve or more directors and each of (i) the CVC US Designator and (ii) the FP Designator have the right to appoint no fewer than four directors, the number of directors shall be further increased by one, and the number of directors designated by the CVC AP Designator pursuant to this Section 2.01 shall be increased to two for any time period during which the Board continues to consist of twelve or more directors; provided further, that prior to the consummation of the First Public Offering the Board shall not consist of more than 13 directors.
(b) Each Securityholder entitled to vote for the election of directors to the Board agrees that it will vote its Eligible Securities or execute written consents, as the case may be, and take all other necessary action (including causing the Company to call a special meeting of Securityholders) in order to ensure that the composition of the Board is as set forth in this Section 2.01.
- 13 -
(c) The right of each of the CVC US Designator and the FP Designator to designate at least two directors of the Board pursuant to this Article 2 shall be reduced to the right to designate only one director of the Board at such time as the Aggregate Ownership of Common Units by CVC US and its Permitted Transferees (for purposes of determining the number of directors appointed by the CVC US Designator) or FP and its Permitted Transferees (for purposes of determining the number of directors appointed by the FP Designator) divided by the Aggregate Ownership of Common Units by all Securityholders is less than 10% and terminate at such time as the Aggregate Ownership of Common Units by CVC US and its Permitted Transferees (for purposes of determining the number of directors appointed by the CVC US Designator) or FP and its Permitted Transferees (for purposes of determining the number of directors appointed by the FP Designator), divided by the Aggregate Ownership of Common Units by all Securityholders is less than 5%. The right of the CVC AP Designator, to designate one director of the Board shall terminate at such time as the Aggregate Ownership of Common Units by the CVC Asia Pacific Investors and their Permitted Transferees, divided by the Aggregate Ownership of Common Units by all Securityholders is less than 5%. The obligations imposed on the Securityholders to give effect to the rights to designate directors set forth in Section 2.01 shall terminate as to any Person when such Person’s right to designate a director is terminated.
(d) The Company agrees to cause each individual designated pursuant to Section 2.01(a) or 2.03 to be nominated to serve as a director on the Board, and to take all other necessary actions (including calling a special meeting of the Board and/or securityholders) to ensure that the composition of the Board is as set forth in this Section 2.01.
Section 2.02. Removal. Each Securityholder agrees that if, at any time, it is then entitled to vote for the removal of directors of the Company, it will not vote any of its Eligible Securities in favor of the removal of any director who shall have been designated or nominated in accordance with Section 2.01 or Section 2.03, unless such removal shall be for Cause or the Person or Persons entitled to designate or nominate such director shall have consented to such removal in writing, provided that if the Person or Persons entitled to designate or nominate any director pursuant to Section 2.01 shall request in writing the removal, with or without Cause, of such director, such Securityholder shall vote its Eligible Securities in favor of such removal. Removal for “Cause” shall mean removal of a director because of such director’s (a) willful and continued failure substantially to perform his or her statutory or fiduciary duties to the Company in his or her established position, (b) participation in a fraud, act of dishonesty or other misconduct that is injurious, monetarily or otherwise, to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (c) being charged with or pleading guilty to a felony or a crime involving fraud or dishonesty, (d) violation of any state or federal law that has an adverse effect on the Company or (e) abuse of illegal drugs or other controlled substances or habitual intoxication.
- 14 -
Section 2.03. Vacancies. If, as a result of death, disability, retirement, resignation, removal (with or without Cause) or otherwise, there shall exist or occur any vacancy on the Board:
(a) the Person or Persons entitled under Section 2.01 to designate or nominate such director whose death, disability, retirement, resignation or removal (with or without Cause) resulted in such vacancy may, subject to the provisions of Section 2.01, designate another individual (the “Replacement Nominee”) to fill such vacancy and serve as a director of the Company; and
(b) subject to Section 2.01, each Securityholder then entitled to vote for the election of the Replacement Nominee as a director of the Company agrees that it will vote its Eligible Securities, or execute a proxy or written consent, as the case may be, in order to ensure that the Replacement Nominee be elected to the Board.
Section 2.04. Meetings. The Board shall hold a regularly scheduled meeting at least once every calendar quarter.
Section 2.05. Action by the Board. (a) A quorum of the Board shall consist of a majority of the total number of directors, which such majority shall include a majority of the designees of the CVC US Designator and a majority of the designees of the FP Designator, provided that the CVC US Designator and the FP Designator together shall have the right at any time to increase the number of directors necessary to constitute such quorum; and provided further, that in the event that either of the CVC US Designator or the FP Designator, has the right to designate fewer than three directors pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof, a quorum shall exist if at least one director designated by such Person is present.
(b) All actions of the Board shall require (i) the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the directors present at a duly convened meeting of the Board at which a quorum is present or (ii) the unanimous written consent of the Board, provided that, in the event that there is a vacancy on the Board and an individual has been nominated to fill such vacancy, the first order of business shall be to fill such vacancy.
(c) The Board may create executive, compensation, audit and such other committees as it may determine. The Institutional Securityholders together shall be entitled to majority representation on any committee created by the Board, half of which such majority representation shall consist of a director or directors designated by the CVC US Designator and half of which such majority representation shall consist of a director or directors designated by the FP Designator. The CVC Asia Pacific Investors or their Permitted Transferees shall be entitled to minority representation on each committee created by the Board. Each Securityholder entitled to vote for the election of the chairman of any committee (in its capacity as a Securityholder, director of the Board, member of a committee, or otherwise) created by the Board agrees that it will take all necessary action to ensure that the chairman of such committee is a director designated by the CVC US Designator or the FP Designator in accordance with Section 2.01.
(d) No action by the Company (including but not limited to any action by the Board or any committee thereof) shall be taken after the date hereof with respect to any of the following matters without the affirmative approval of the Board and each of the CVC US Securityholder
- 15 -
Representative and the FP Securityholder Representative, in each case, in its capacity as agent for Persons comprising CVC US and FP, in each case, in its capacity as a Securityholder; provided that the vote of a director designated by the CVC US Designator or the FP Designator in favor of any action for which approval is required pursuant to this Section 2.05(d) shall constitute the consent of the CVC US Securityholder Representative (in the case of a vote of a director designated by the CVC US Designator) and the FP Securityholder Representative (in the case of a vote of a director designated by the FP Designator) in its capacity as agent for Persons comprising CVC US and FP, in each case, in its capacity as a Securityholder:

(a) Each Securityholder understands and agrees that its acquisition of the Company Securities have not been, and any acquisition of New Securities may not be, registered under the Securities Act and the Company Securities are, and the New Securities may be, restricted securities under the Securities Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. Each Securityholder agrees that it will not Transfer any Eligible Securities (or solicit any offers in respect of any Transfer of any Eligible Securities), except in compliance with, or pursuant to, an applicable exemption from the Securities Act, any applicable foreign or state securities or “blue sky” laws, and the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
(b) Any attempt to Transfer any Eligible Securities not in compliance with this Agreement shall be null and void and the Company shall not, and shall cause any transfer agent not to, give any effect in the Company’s stock records to such attempted Transfer.
(c) Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, prior to the time the Company makes an affirmative election to be treated as a corporation for U.S. Federal income tax purposes or the Company is converted to a corporation under Delaware (or other state) law, whether by operation of law, merger, or otherwise, (i) no Securityholder shall transfer any Eligible Securities if, in the sole determination of the Board, such transfer would cause the
- 19 -
Company to be treated as a publicly traded partnership for purposes of Section 7704 of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended and (ii) no application will be made to any recognized investment exchange, a regional or local exchange, or an inter-dealer quotation system that regularly disseminates firm buy or sell quotations by identified brokers or dealers by electronic means or otherwise for any Eligible Securities to be listed or quoted or dealt in. The Board may, in its discretion, waive these restrictions.
Section 3.02. Legends. (a) In addition to any other legend that may be required, each certificate for Eligible Securities that is issued to any Securityholder shall bear a legend in substantially the following form:
“THIS SECURITY HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR ANY FOREIGN OR STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT IN COMPLIANCE THEREWITH. THIS SECURITY IS ALSO SUBJECT TO ADDITIONAL RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER AS SET FORTH IN THE SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED SECURITYHOLDERS’ AGREEMENT DATED AS OF OCTOBER 6, 2004, COPIES OF WHICH MAY BE OBTAINED UPON REQUEST FROM THE COMPANY OR ANY SUCCESSOR THERETO.”
(b) If any Eligible Securities shall cease to be Registrable Securities under clause (i) or clause (ii) of the definition thereof, the Company, upon the written request of the holder thereof, shall issue to such holder a new certificate evidencing such shares without the first sentence of the legend required by Section 3.02(a) endorsed thereon. If any Eligible Securities cease to be subject to any and all restrictions on Transfer set forth in this Agreement, the Company, upon the written request of the holder thereof, shall issue to such holder a new certificate evidencing such Eligible Securities without the second sentence of the legend required by Section 3.02(a) endorsed thereon.
Section 3.03. Permitted Transferees. (a) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any Securityholder may at any time Transfer any or all of its Eligible Securities to one or more of its Permitted Transferees without the consent of the Board or any other Securityholder or group of Securityholders and without compliance with Sections 3.04, 3.05, 4.01, 4.02 and 4.03 (but, with respect to the Management Investors, in compliance with any additional restrictions imposed on the transfer of such Eligible Securities under any other agreement with, or grant from, the Company and with respect to Peninsula and its Permitted Transferees, in compliance with the restrictions set forth in the definition of “Permitted Transferee”) so long as (i) such Permitted Transferee shall have agreed in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto (the “Joinder”) and (ii) the Transfer to such Permitted Transferee is not in violation of applicable federal or state securities laws; provided that rather than executing a Joinder, Citicorp N.A. has delivered to the Company, and the Company has accepted, a letter stating that (a) it will release any security interest it has in any Eligible Securities held by CVC Asia II Limited if the Eligible Securities are Transferred pursuant to Section 4.02 of the Agreement and (b) at any time Citicorp N.A. acquires Eligible
- 20 -
Securities from CVC Asia II Limited it shall execute a Joinder; provided further that any Transfer of Eligible Securities by Citicorp N.A. to any of its Affiliates in connection with the assignment by Citicorp N.A. of all of its rights and obligations under the CVC Asia Loan Agreement to such Affiliate shall be null and void unless and until such Person executes and delivers to the Company a letter on the same terms as the letter delivered by Citicorp N.A. to the Company on the date of this Agreement, or, at any time after Citicorp N.A. or any its Affiliate has acquired Eligible Securities, such Person has executed and delivered to the Company a Joinder.
(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any Securityholder which is formed as a limited partnership or similar pooled investment vehicle may at any time Transfer any or all of its Eligible Securities to its limited partners (or other investors, as applicable) upon the dissolution or termination of such Securityholder (such Persons the “Dissolution Transferees”); provided (i) that such Dissolution Transferee shall have agreed in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement in the form of the Joinder and (ii) the Transfer to such Dissolution Transferee is not violation of applicable federal or state securities laws; provided, further, that any Dissolution Transferee shall not be considered a Permitted Transferee for purposes of any provision of this Agreement whereby the ownership of a Securityholder is determined by aggregating the ownership of such Eligible Securities by such Securityholder with the Eligible Securities owned by his or its Permitted Transferees.
(c) If any Permitted Transferee of any Securityholder to which Eligible Securities have been transferred ceases to be a Permitted Transferee of such Securityholder, such Permitted Transferee shall, and such Securityholder shall cause such Permitted Transferee to, transfer back to such Securityholder (or to another Permitted Transferee of such Securityholder) any Eligible Securities it owns on or prior to the date that such Permitted Transferee ceases to be a Permitted Transferee of such Securityholder. For the avoidance of doubt, Citicorp N.A. and its Affiliates shall be Permitted Transferees of CVC Asia II Limited so long as (i) Citicorp N.A. or one of its Affiliates is acting in its capacity as a secured lender under the CVC Asia Loan Agreement or (ii) Citicorp N.A. or one of its Affiliates holds Eligible Securities previously owned by CVC Asia II Limited as a result of Citicorp N.A. or one of its Affiliates exercising its remedies following an event of default under the CVC Asia Loan Agreement.

(a) in a Transfer made in compliance with Section 4.02,
(b) in a Transfer made in compliance with Section 4.01 or 4.03, provided that until the third anniversary of the date of this Agreement, no Institutional Securityholder shall (without the prior written consent of the CVC US Securityholder Representative (in the case of a Transfer by FP) or the FP Securityholder Representative (in the case of a Transfer by CVC US)) be permitted to Transfer any number of shares or units of any series
- 21 -
or class of Eligible Securities if such Transfer would cause such Institutional Securityholder’s Aggregate Ownership of such series or class immediately following such Transfer to fall below two-thirds of such Institutional Securityholder’s Initial Ownership,
(c) in a Public Offering in connection with the exercise of its rights under Article 5 hereof, or
(d) in a Transfer made at the conclusion of the Applicable Holdback Period following the First Public Offering, in compliance with Rule 144, provided, that for purposes of this Section 3.04(d) only, (i) the amount of Eligible Securities Transferred by an Institutional Securityholder shall be aggregated with the amount of Securities sold by its Permitted Transferees during any relevant time period, whether or not such aggregation is required by subparagraph (e) of Rule 144 and (ii) any Transfers made in accordance with the provisions of subparagraph (k) of Rule 144 shall nonetheless be made in accordance with the volume limitations set forth in subparagraph (e) of Rule 144, as modified by clause (i), as if such subparagraph as so modified were applicable thereto.
Section 3.05. Restrictions on Transfers by the Other Securityholders. (a) Except as provided in Section 3.03, each Other Securityholder may transfer its Eligible Securities only as follows:
(i) as a Tagging Person in a Transfer made in compliance with Section 4.01,
(ii) in a Transfer made in compliance with Section 4.02,
(iii) in a Public Offering in connection with the exercise of its rights under Article 5 hereof, provided that no Other Securityholder shall be permitted to Transfer any number of any class of Eligible Securities if such Transfer would cause such Other Securityholder to hold a smaller percentage of its Initial Ownership of such class immediately following such Transfer than the percentage of the Institutional Securityholders’ Initial Ownership that the Institutional Securityholders own at the time of such Transfer, or
(iv) in a Transfer made in compliance with Section 4.03, or
(v) in a Transfer made at the conclusion of the Applicable Holdback Period following the First Public Offering, in compliance with Rule 144, provided, that for purposes of this Section 3.05(a)(v) only, (i) the amount of Eligible Securities Transferred by an Other Securityholder shall be aggregated with the amount of Securities sold by its Permitted Transferees during any relevant time period, whether or not such aggregation is required by subparagraph
- 22 -
(e) of Rule 144 and (ii) any Transfers made in accordance with the provisions of subparagraph (k) of Rule 144 shall nonetheless be made in accordance with the volume limitations set forth in subparagraph (e) of Rule 144, as modified by clause (i), as if such subparagraph as so modified were applicable thereto; provided further that no Other Securityholder shall be permitted to Transfer any number of shares or units of any class of Eligible Securities if such Transfer would cause such Other Securityholder to hold a smaller percentage of its Initial Ownership of such class immediately following such Transfer than the percentage of the Institutional Securityholders’ Initial Ownership that the Institutional Securityholders own at the time of such Transfer.
(b) It is understood and agreed that Hynix shall not transfer the Warrant (prior to the exercise of such Warrant) at any time, under any circumstances, to any Person, other than to its Permitted Transferees.
Section 3.06. Restrictions on Transfer under a Credit Agreement, Indenture or Other Agreement for Indebtedness. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article 3, if a Transfer otherwise permitted hereunder (other than a Compelled Sale) would trigger, under the terms of any outstanding credit agreement, indenture or any other agreement for indebtedness to which the Company is a party, (i) a change of control requiring repayment or (ii) other adverse consequence to the Company, then such Transfer shall be prohibited without the approval of the Board.
ARTICLE 4
TAG-ALONG RIGHTS; DRAG-ALONG RIGHTS; RIGHTS OF FIRST REFUSAL;
PREEMPTIVE RIGHTS
Section 4.01. Rights to Participate in Transfer. (a) Subject to Sections 3.04, 3.05, 3.06, 4.01(h) and 4.03, if (i) any Institutional Securityholder proposes to Transfer any number of any class or series of Eligible Securities other than to its Permitted Transferees or (ii) any Other Securityholder proposes to sell Eligible Securities to a Third Party pursuant to Section 4.03 (any sale pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii) shall be referred to herein as, the “Tag-Along Sale,” and any Securityholder proposing to Transfer Eligible Securities pursuant to a Tag-Along Sale shall be referred to herein as, the “Tag-Along Seller”), each Securityholder other than the Tag-Along Seller (each, an “Eligible Securityholder”) may elect, at its option, to exercise its rights under this Section 4.01, provided that with respect to any such Transfer that is also governed by Section 4.03 hereof, the Company and the Securityholders having a right of first refusal under such Section shall have first been afforded the opportunity to acquire any Eligible Securities to be sold in a Tag-Along Sale in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.03.
In the event of such a proposed Transfer, the Tag-Along Seller shall, after such Securityholders and the Company have declined, or are deemed to have declined, to exercise their right of first refusal as provided in Section 4.03, provide each Eligible Securityholder written notice of the terms and conditions of such proposed transfer (“Tag-Along Notice”) and
- 23 -
offer each Eligible Securityholder the opportunity to participate in such sale. The Tag-Along Notice shall identify the number and type of Eligible Securities subject to the offer (“Tag-Along Offer”), the cash price at which the Transfer is proposed to be made, and all other material terms and conditions of the Tag-Along Offer, including the form of the proposed agreement, if any.
From the date of the receipt of the Tag-Along Notice, each Eligible Securityholder shall have the right (a “Tag-Along Right”), exercisable by written notice (“Tag-Along Response Notice”) given to the Tag-Along Seller within 15 Business Days of such Eligible Securityholder’s receipt of the Tag-Along Notice (the “Tag-Along Notice Period”), to request that the Tag-Along Seller include in the proposed Transfer (any such Securityholder so requesting, a “Tagging Person”) the number and type of Eligible Securities held by such Tagging Person as is specified in such notice, provided that, if the aggregate number of Eligible Securities proposed to be sold by the Tag-Along Seller and all Tagging Persons in such transaction exceeds the number of that series or class of Eligible Securities that can be sold on the terms and conditions set forth in the Tag-Along Notice, then the Tagging Seller and each Tagging Person shall be entitled to include in the Tag-Along Sale only its Tag-Along Portion of such series or class of Eligible Securities and such additional Eligible Securities as permitted by Section 4.01(d). Each Tagging Person that exercises its Tag-Along Rights hereunder shall deliver to the Tag-Along Seller, together with its Tag-Along Response Notice, a limited power-of-attorney authorizing the Tag-Along Seller to Transfer such Eligible Securities on the terms set forth in the Tag-Along Notice and, if the Eligible Securities are certificated, the certificate or certificates representing the Eligible Securities of such Tagging Person to be included in the Transfer. Any such securities so delivered shall be held in trust by the Tag-Along Seller for the benefit of the Tagging Person and shall not be commingled with the assets of the Tag-Along Seller. Delivery of the limited power-of-attorney authorizing the Tag-Along Seller to Transfer such Eligible Securities and, if the Eligible Securities are certificated, such certificate or certificates representing the Eligible Securities to be Transferred, shall constitute an irrevocable acceptance of the Tag-Along Offer by such Tagging Persons. Each Tag-Along Response Notice shall include wire transfer instructions for payment of the purchase price for each class or series of Eligible Securities to be sold in such Tag-Along Sale. The Tagging Persons shall (a) be required (i) to bear their proportionate share of any escrows, holdbacks or adjustments in purchase price and any transaction expenses and (ii) to make such customary representations, warranties and covenants and enter into such agreements as are customary for transactions of the nature of the Tag-Along Offer, in each case on terms no less favorable to the Tagging Persons than those disclosed in the Tag-Along Notice and (b) benefit from all of the same provisions of the definitive agreements as the Tag-Along Seller, it being understood that any liability of any Tagging Person for indemnification or similar post-closing obligations shall not exceed a proportional share of any such liability based on such Tagging Person’s share of the aggregate consideration in the Tag-Along Sale.
If at the end of the 90-day period after delivery of the Tag-Along Notice (which 90-day period shall be extended if any of the transactions contemplated by the Tag-Along Offer are subject to regulatory approval until the expiration of five Business Days after all such approvals have been received, but in no event later than 180 days following receipt of the Tag-Along
- 24 -
Response Notice by the Tag-Along Seller), the Tag-Along Seller has not completed the Transfer of all such Eligible Securities on substantially the same terms and conditions set forth in the Tag-Along Notice, the Tag-Along Seller shall (i) return to each Tagging Person the limited power-of-attorney (and all copies thereof) together with all certificates representing the Eligible Securities that such Tagging Person delivered for Transfer pursuant to this Section 4.01(a) and (ii) not conduct any Transfer of Eligible Securities without again complying with this Section.
(b) Concurrently with the consummation of the Tag-Along Sale, the Tag-Along Seller shall notify the Tagging Persons thereof, shall remit to the Tagging Persons the total consideration (by wire transfer of immediately available funds or, if so requested by the Tagging Person, bank or certified check) then payable for the Eligible Securities of the Tagging Persons transferred pursuant thereto, less such Tagging Person’s proportionate share of any escrows, holdbacks or adjustments in purchase price, and any transaction expenses, and shall, promptly after the consummation of such Tag-Along Sale, furnish such other evidence of the completion and time of completion of such transfer and the terms thereof as may be reasonably requested by any Tagging Person. The Tag-Along Seller shall promptly remit to all Tagging Persons any additional consideration payable upon the release of any escrows or holdbacks or the payment of any adjustments.
(c) If at the termination of the Tag-Along Notice Period any Eligible Securityholder shall not have elected to participate in the Tag-Along Sale, such Eligible Securityholder will be deemed to have waived its rights under Section 4.01(a) with respect to the Transfer of its securities pursuant to such Tag-Along Sale.
(d) If any Tagging Person elects to exercise its Tag-Along Rights with respect to less than such Tagging Person’s Tag-Along Portion, the Tag-Along Seller and each other Tagging Person shall be entitled to Transfer, pursuant to the Tag-Along Offer, a number of Eligible Securities held by it equal to its Tag-Along Portion of such Tagging Person’s Tag-Along Portion with respect to which Tag-Along Rights were not exercised.
(e) The Tag-Along Seller may Transfer, on behalf of itself and any Tagging Person who exercises the Tag-Along Rights pursuant to this Section 4.01(a), the Eligible Securities subject to the Tag-Along Offer and elected to be Transferred on the terms and conditions set forth in the Tag-Along Notice within 90 days after delivery of the Tag-Along Notice (or such longer period as extended under Section 4.01(a)) of the date on which all Tag-Along Rights shall have been waived, exercised or expire provided that, if such Tag-Along Sale is subject to regulatory approval, such 90-day period shall be extended until the expiration of five Business Days after all such approvals have been received, but in no event later than 180 days following receipt of the Tag-Along Response Notice by the Tag-Along Seller.
(f) Notwithstanding the requirements of this Section 4.01, a Tag-Along Seller may Transfer Eligible Securities at any time without complying with the requirements of paragraphs (a) and (b) of Section 4.01 so long as such Transfer is solely for cash and the Tag-Along Seller deposits into escrow with an independent third party at the time of Transfer that amount of the consideration received in the sale equal to the “Tag-Along Escrow Amount.” The “Tag-Along
- 25 -
Escrow Amount” shall equal that amount of consideration that all the Eligible Securityholders would have been entitled to receive if each of the Eligible Securityholders had the opportunity to participate in the Transfer as a Tagging Person to the extent of its Tag-Along Portion, determined as if each such Eligible Securityholder (i) delivered a Tag-Along Response Notice to the Tag-Along Seller in the time period set forth in Section 4.01(a) and (ii) proposed to include all of its Eligible Securities which it would have been entitled to include in the Transfer.
No later than the date of the Transfer, the Tag-Along Seller shall notify the Company in writing of the proposed Transfer. Such notice (the “Tag-Along Escrow Notice”) shall set forth the information required in the Tag-Along Notice, and in addition, such notice shall state the name of the escrow agent and the account number of the escrow account. The Company shall promptly, and in any event within ten days of the date the Company delivered or caused to be delivered, the Tag-Along Escrow Notice, deliver or cause to be delivered the Tag-Along Escrow Notice to each Eligible Securityholder.
An Eligible Securityholder may exercise the tag-along right described in this clause (f) by delivery to the Tag-Along Seller, within 15 days of the date the Company delivered or caused to be delivered the Tag-Along Escrow Notice, of (i) a written notice specifying the number of Eligible Securities it proposes to sell (which such number shall not exceed such Eligible Securityholder’s Tag-Along Portion determined as provided in the first paragraph of this Section 4.01(f)), and (ii) the certificates representing such securities, with transfer powers duly endorsed in blank.
Promptly after the expiration of the 15th day after the Company has delivered or caused to be delivered the Tag-Along Escrow Notice, (i) the Tag-Along Seller shall purchase that number of Eligible Securities as the Tag-Along Seller would have been required to include in the sale had the Tag-Along Seller complied with the provisions of Section 4.01(a), (ii) the Company shall cause to be released from the escrow to the Eligible Securityholder from whom the Tag-Along Seller purchases Eligible Securities pursuant to clause (i) of this paragraph the applicable amount of consideration due to such Eligible Securityholder together with any interest thereon, and (iii) all remaining funds and other consideration held in escrow shall be released to the Tag-Along Seller.
(g) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 4.01, there shall be no liability on the part of the Tag-Along Seller to the Tagging Persons (other than the obligation to return any limited powers-of-attorney (and all copies thereof) together with all certificates (if any) evidencing Eligible Securities, as the case may be, received by the Tag-Along Seller) if the Transfer of Eligible Securities pursuant to Section 4.01 is not consummated for whatever reason. Whether to effect a Transfer of Eligible Securities pursuant to this Section 4.01 by the Tag-Along Seller is in the sole and absolute discretion of the Tag-Along Seller.
(h) The provisions of this Section 4.01 shall not apply to any proposed Transfer of any class of Eligible Securities by the Tag-Along Seller (A) in a Public Offering or pursuant to Rule 144 or (B) pursuant to Section 4.02.
- 26 -
(i) With regard to each class and series of Eligible Securities, this Section 4.01 shall terminate as to each class and series of Eligible Securities immediately following the date on which the Aggregate Ownership of the Institutional Securityholders falls below 35% of the aggregate Initial Ownership of such Institutional Securityholders for such class or series of Eligible Securities; provided, that any transactions or series of transactions that would cause any Institutional Securityholder to hold less than 35% of its Initial Ownership for such class or series of Eligible Securities shall be subject to this Section 4.01.
Section 4.02. Right to Compel Participation in Certain Transfers. (a) If the Institutional Securityholders together propose (i) to Transfer not less than 50% of each of their respective Initial Ownership of any class or series of Eligible Securities to a Third Party in a bona fide sale or (ii) a Transfer in which the Eligible Securities to be Transferred by the Institutional Securityholders, plus the Eligible Securities to be Transferred by the Other Securityholders pursuant to this Section 4.02(a), constitute more than 50% of the outstanding Eligible Securities in a particular class or series to a Third Party pursuant to a bona fide sale, or (iii) a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to a Third Party pursuant to a bona fide sale (any of (i), (ii) or (iii), a “Compelled Sale”), the Institutional Securityholders together may at their option require all Other Securityholders to vote all securities of the Company then held by such Other Securityholders in favor of such Compelled Sale and to Transfer the Drag-Along Portion of such class or series of Eligible Securities (“Drag-Along Rights”) then held by every Other Securityholder, and in the case of a Compelled Sale involving Common Units (but subject to and at the closing of the Compelled Sale) to exercise such number of options or warrants (including the Warrant and including, at the option of Hynix, pursuant to Section 2(c) thereof) for Common Units held by every Other Securityholder as is required in order that a sufficient number of Common Units are available to Transfer the relevant Drag-Along Portion of each such Other Securityholder, for the same consideration per unit of the relevant class of Eligible Security and otherwise on the same terms and conditions as the Institutional Securityholders, provided that any Other Securityholder who holds options or warrants (including the Warrant) the exercise price per share of which is greater than the per share price at which the Common Units are to be Transferred to the Third Party may, if required by the Institutional Securityholders to exercise such options or warrants (including the Warrant), in place of such exercise, submit to irrevocable cancellation thereof without any liability for payment of any exercise price with respect thereto. If the Compelled Sale is not consummated with respect to any Common Units acquired upon exercise of such options or warrants (including the Warrant), or the Compelled Sale is not consummated, such options or warrants (including the Warrant) shall be deemed not to have been exercised or canceled, as applicable. The CVC US Securityholder Representative and the FP Securityholder Representative, on behalf of the Institutional Securityholders, shall provide written notice of such Compelled Sale to the Other Securityholders (a “Compelled Sale Notice”) not later than the 15th day prior to the proposed Compelled Sale. The Compelled Sale Notice shall identify the transferee, in the case of a Compelled Sale pursuant to clauses (i) or (ii) of this Section 4.02(a), the number of Eligible Securities subject to the Compelled Sale, the consideration for which either a Transfer or a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, as appropriate, is proposed to be made (the “Compelled Sale Price”) and all other material terms and conditions of the Compelled Sale.
- 27 -
The number of Eligible Securities to be sold by each Other Securityholder will be the Drag-Along Portion of the class of Eligible Securities that such Other Securityholder owns. Each Other Securityholder shall be required to participate in the Compelled Sale on the terms and conditions set forth in the Compelled Sale Notice and to tender all its Eligible Securities as set forth below. The price payable in such Transfer shall be the Compelled Sale Price. Not later than the tenth day following the date of the Compelled Sale Notice (the “Compelled Sale Notice Period”), each of the Other Securityholders shall deliver to a representative of the Institutional Securityholders designated in the Compelled Sale Notice certificates (to the extent the Eligible Securities are certificated), and in the case of options or warrants (including the Warrant), the applicable instrument, representing all Eligible Securities comprising the Drag-Along Portion held by such Other Securityholder, duly endorsed, together with all other documents required to be executed in connection with such Compelled Sale or, if such delivery is not permitted by applicable law, an unconditional agreement to deliver such Eligible Securities pursuant to this Section 4.02(a) at the closing for such Compelled Sale against delivery to such Other Securityholder of the consideration therefor. If an Other Securityholder should fail to deliver such certificates to the Institutional Securityholders, the Company (subject to reversal under Section 4.02(b)) shall cause the books and records of the Company to show that such Eligible Securities are bound by the provisions of this Section 4.02(a) and that such Eligible Securities shall be Transferred to the Third Party immediately upon surrender for Transfer by the holder thereof. The Other Securityholders shall (a) be required (i) to bear their proportionate share of any escrows, holdbacks or adjustments in purchase price and any transaction expenses, (ii) to make such representations, warranties and covenants and enter into such agreements as are customary for transactions of the nature of the Compelled Sale, in each case under the terms of any definitive agreements relating to such Compelled Sale, (b) benefit from all of the same provisions of the definitive agreements as the Institutional Securityholders, (c) with respect to each class of Eligible Securities to be Transferred in such Compelled Sale, have the right to receive the same form of consideration and same amount of consideration as each other holder of such class, and (d) if any holders of a class of Eligible Securities are given an option as to the form and amount of consideration received, each holder of such class of Eligible Securities shall be given the same option, it being understood that any liability of any Other Securityholder for indemnification or similar post-closing obligations shall not exceed the consideration such Other Securityholder receives in the Compelled Sale and shall be a proportional share of any such liability based on such Other Securityholder’s share of the aggregate consideration in the Compelled Sale.
(b) The Institutional Securityholders shall have a period of 90 days from the date of receipt of the Compelled Sale Notice to consummate the Compelled Sale on the terms and conditions set forth in such Compelled Sale Notice, provided that, if such Compelled Sale is subject to regulatory approval, such 90-day period shall be extended until the expiration of five Business Days after all such approvals have been received, but in no event later than 180 days following the receipt of the Compelled Sale Notice by the Other Securityholders. If the Compelled Sale shall not have been consummated during such period, the Institutional Securityholders shall return to each of the Other Securityholders all certificates or other applicable instruments (including the Warrant) representing Eligible Securities that such Other
- 28 -
Securityholders delivered for Transfer pursuant hereto, together with any documents in the possession of the Institutional Securityholders executed by the Other Securityholders in connection with such proposed Transfer, and all the restrictions on Transfer contained in this Agreement or otherwise applicable at such time with respect to such Eligible Securities owned by the Other Securityholders shall again be in effect.
(c) Concurrently with the consummation of the Transfer of Eligible Securities pursuant to this Section 4.02, the CVC US Securityholder Representative and the FP Securityholder Representative, on behalf of the Institutional Securityholders, shall give notice thereof to the Other Securityholders, shall remit to each of the Other Securityholders who have surrendered their certificates or other applicable instruments the total consideration (the cash portion of which is to be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds, or if requested by the Other Securityholders, bank or certified check) for the Eligible Securities Transferred pursuant hereto, less such Other Securityholder’s proportionate share of any escrows, holdbacks or adjustments in purchase price, and any transaction expenses and shall furnish such other evidence of the completion and time of completion of such Transfer and the terms thereof as may be reasonably requested by such Other Securityholders. The Institutional Securityholders shall promptly remit any additional consideration payable upon the release of any escrows or holdbacks or the payment of any adjustments.
(d) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 4.02, there shall be no liability on the part of the Institutional Securityholders to the Other Securityholders (other than the obligation to return any certificates or other applicable instruments representing Eligible Securities received by the Institutional Securityholders) if the Transfer of Eligible Securities pursuant to this Section 4.02 is not consummated for whatever reason, regardless of whether the Institutional Securityholders have delivered a Compelled Sale Notice. Whether to effect a Transfer of Eligible Securities pursuant to this Section 4.02 by the Institutional Securityholders is in the sole and absolute discretion of the Institutional Securityholders.
(e) This Section 4.02 shall terminate upon the third anniversary of the First Public Offering.
Section 4.03. Right of First Refusal. (a) Subject to Sections 3.04, 3.05 and 3.06, if any of the Securityholders receives from or otherwise negotiates with a Third Party in a private transaction an offer to purchase for cash any or all of the Eligible Securities owned or held by such Securityholder (an “Offer”) and such Securityholder (a “Seller”) intends to pursue such Transfer of such Eligible Securities to such Third Party, such Seller shall provide the Institutional Securityholders (the “Non-Selling Securityholders”), and the Company written notice of such Offer (an “Offer Notice”). The Offer Notice shall identify the number and class of Eligible Securities subject to the Offer (the “Offered Securities”), the cash price per share at which a sale is proposed to be made (the “Offer Price”) and all other material terms and conditions of the Offer.
(b) The receipt of an Offer Notice by the Company and the Non-Selling Securityholders from any Seller shall constitute an offer by such Seller to Transfer, to the
- 29 -
Company and such Non-Selling Securityholders, for cash in whole and not in part, with the Company having priority with respect to the acceptance of the Offer, all of the Offered Securities at the Offer Price. If the Company does not accept the offer, in whole and not in part, in accordance herewith, then such offer may be accepted at the Offer Price by each of the Non-Selling Securityholders on a pro rata basis based on each such Non-Selling Securityholder’s Offer Pro Rata Portion unless the Non-Selling Securityholders shall agree to another allocation resulting in acceptance of the Offer with respect to all Offered Securities. Such offer shall be irrevocable for 15 days after receipt of such Offer Notice by the Company and each Non-Selling Securityholder. During such 15-day period, subject to the Company’s priority right of exercise as set forth above, each Non-Selling Securityholder shall have the right to accept such offer (as provided above) within such period. The offer may be accepted by giving a written irrevocable notice of acceptance to such Seller prior to the expiration of such 15-day period.
If every Non-Selling Securityholder receiving the Offer Notice does not elect to purchase Offered Securities, the Seller shall not be required to sell any Offered Securities accepted pursuant to the offer, but shall, within five days of the expiration of the initial 15-day period, provide written notice to all Non-Selling Securityholders that did accept the initial offer, informing them that they have the right to increase the number of Offered Securities that they accepted pursuant to the initial offer. Each such Non-Selling Securityholder will then have a five-day period in which to accept such second offer, by giving written notice of acceptance to the Seller prior to the expiration of such five-day period, as to all of such Securityholder’s portion of the Offered Securities not accepted pursuant to the initial offer (on the basis of such Securityholder’s Offer Pro Rata Portion compared to the Offer Pro Rata Portion of all other Non-Selling Securityholders participating in the second offer).
If any Non-Selling Securityholder fails to notify the Seller prior to the expiration of the initial 15-day period or the second five-day period, as applicable, referred to above, it will be deemed to have declined the initial offer or second offer, as applicable.
For purposes of this Section 4.03 only, “Offer Pro Rata Portion” means the fraction that results from dividing (i) the Aggregate Ownership of the same class of Eligible Securities as the Offered Securities by such Non-Selling Securityholder by (ii) the Aggregate Ownership of such class of Eligible Securities by all Non-Selling Securityholders.
(c) If the Company and/or the Non-Selling Securityholders elect to purchase all the Offered Securities, the Company and/or the Non-Selling Securityholders, as the case may be, exercising their rights of first refusal as to the Offered Securities shall purchase and pay, by wire transfer of in immediately available funds, at the Offer Price for all Offered Securities within a 10-day period of the date on which all Offered Securities have been accepted, provided that, if the purchase and sale of such Offered Securities is subject to any prior regulatory approval, subject to Section 4.03(d)(iii), the time period during which such purchase and sale may be consummated shall be extended until the expiration of five Business Days after all such approvals shall have been received, but in no event shall such period be extended for more than an additional 90 days without the consent of the Company.
- 30 -
(d) Upon the earlier to occur of (i) full rejection of the offer by the Company and the Non-Selling Securityholders, (ii) the expiration of the initial 15-day period and the second five-day period without Non-Selling Securityholders electing to purchase all of the Offered Securities or (iii) the failure to obtain any required consent or regulatory approval for the purchase of all of the Offered Securities by the Company or the Non-Selling Securityholders within 90 days of full acceptance of the offer, Seller shall have a 90-day period during which to effect a Transfer to the Third Party making the Offer of any or all of the Offered Securities on substantially the same or more favorable (as to the Seller) terms and conditions as were set forth in the Offer Notice at a price in cash not less than the Offer Price, provided that (i) such Third Party shall have agreed in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement in the form of the Joinder, and to have such rights and obligations pursuant to this Agreement as those of an “Other Securityholder,” (ii) the Transfer to such Third Party shall have been approved by the CVC US Securityholder Representative and the FP Securityholder Representative, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed and (iii) the Transfer to such Third Party is not in violation of applicable federal or state or foreign securities laws, and provided, further, that, if the Transfer is subject to regulatory approval, such 90-day period shall be extended until the expiration of five Business Days after all such approvals shall have been received, but in no event shall such period be extended for more than an additional 90 days without the consent of the Company. If the Seller does not consummate the Transfer of the Offered Securities in accordance with the foregoing time limitations, then the right of the Seller to Transfer such Offered Securities, and the rights of the Company and the Non-Selling Securityholders to purchase them pursuant to this Section 4.03, shall terminate and the Seller shall again comply with the procedures set forth in this Section 4.03 with respect to any proposed Transfer in accordance with Section 3.04, 3.05 and 3.06.
(e) The provisions of this Section 4.03 shall not apply to any Transfer (i) pursuant to a Public Offering, (ii) pursuant to Section 4.02, or (iii) to the Company.
(f) This Section 4.03 shall terminate upon the earlier to occur of (i) the First Public Offering and (ii) a Change of Control.
Section 4.04. Preemptive Rights. (a) The Company shall provide each Securityholder with a written notice (an “Issuance Notice”) of any proposed issuance by the Company of any class or series of Eligible Securities to any then existing Institutional Securityholder or any of its Affiliates (the “Purchasing Securityholder”) at least 20 days prior to the proposed issuance date. Such notice shall specify the price at which such class or series of Eligible Securities are to be issued, the class of such securities and the other material terms of the issuance. Subject to Section 4.04(e) below, if the Purchasing Securityholder proposes to purchase any such Eligible Securities from the Company, each Securityholder (other than the Purchasing Securityholder, the “Preemptive Securityholders”) shall be entitled to purchase, at the price and on the terms at which the Purchasing Securityholder proposes to purchase such Eligible Securities and specified in such Issuance Notice, such Preemptive Securityholder’s Issuance Pro Rata Portion (as hereinafter defined) of the class or series of Eligible Securities proposed to be issued. For the sake of clarity, it is understood and agreed that each Institutional Securityholder shall be entitled
- 31 -
to be a Preemptive Securityholder with respect to any issuance to the other Institutional Securityholder or its Affiliates pursuant to this Section 4.04 in accordance with the terms of this Section 4.04.
“Issuance Pro Rata Portion” means, with respect to any Preemptive Securityholder and any class or series of Company Securities proposed to be issued by the Company with respect to which Preemptive Securityholders shall be entitled to exercise their rights under this Section 4.04, the fraction that results from dividing (x) such Preemptive Securityholder’s Aggregate Ownership of such class by (y) the Aggregate Ownership of such class of all Securityholders. To the extent that the class or series of Eligible Securities proposed to be issued are New Securities, “Issuance Pro Rata Portion” shall mean, the fraction that results from dividing (x) such Preemptive Securityholder’s Aggregate Ownership of Common Units by (y) the Aggregate Ownership of Common Units of all Securityholders.
(b) A Preemptive Securityholder may exercise its rights under this Section 4.04 by delivering written notice of its election to purchase such Eligible Securities to the Company within 15 days of receipt of the Issuance Notice. A delivery of such a written notice (which notice shall specify the number (or amount) of Eligible Securities to be purchased by the Preemptive Securityholder submitting such notice) by such Preemptive Securityholder shall constitute a binding agreement of such Preemptive Securityholder to purchase, at the price and on the terms specified in the Issuance Notice, the number of shares (or amount) of Eligible Securities specified in such Preemptive Securityholder’s written notice upon the consummation of the issuance of Eligible Securities to the Purchasing Securityholder. If at the termination of such 15-day period, any Preemptive Securityholder shall not have exercised its rights to purchase any of such Preemptive Securityholder’s Issuance Pro Rata Portion of such Eligible Securities, such Preemptive Securityholder will be deemed to have waived any and all of its rights under this Section 4.04 with respect to the purchase of such Eligible Securities that were the subject of the Issuance Notice.
(c) If any Preemptive Securityholder receiving an Issuance Notice does not elect to purchase the securities offered thereunder, the Company shall, within five days prior to the proposed issuance, provide written notice to all participating Preemptive Securityholders that did elect to participate in such Issuance, informing them that they have the right to increase the number of securities that they elected to purchase pursuant to the Issuance Notice. Each such participating Preemptive Securityholder will then have a five day period in which to elect to participate in such second offer, by giving written notice of acceptance to the Company prior to the expiration of such five day period, as to all of such Preemptive Securityholder’s portion of securities not accepted pursuant to the initial offer (on the basis of such Preemptive Securityholder’s Issuance Pro Rata Portion compared to the Issuance Pro Rata Portion of all other Preemptive Securityholders accepting the second offer).
If any Preemptive Securityholder fails to notify the Company prior to the expiration of the initial 15-day period or the second five-day period, as applicable, referred to above, it will be deemed to have declined the initial offer or second offer, as applicable.
- 32 -
(d) The Company shall have 90 days from the date of the Issuance Notice to consummate the proposed issuance of any or all of such Eligible Securities that the Purchasing Securityholder and the Preemptive Securityholders have elected to purchase at the price and upon terms that are not materially less favorable to the Company than those specified in the Issuance Notice, provided that, if such issuance is subject to regulatory approval, such 90-day period shall be extended until the expiration of five Business Days after all such approvals have been received, but in no event later than 180 days from the date of the Issuance Notice. At the consummation of such issuance, the Company shall issue certificates representing the Eligible Securities to be purchased by each Purchasing Securityholder and each Preemptive Securityholder registered in the name of such Securityholder, against payment by such Securityholder of the purchase price for such Eligible Securities. If the Company proposes to issue any class or series of Eligible Securities to any Securityholder after such 90-day period, it shall again comply with the procedures set forth in this Section.
(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Securityholder shall be entitled to purchase Eligible Securities as contemplated by this Section 4.04 to the extent Eligible Securities are issued (i) to officers, directors or employees of the Company or any Subsidiary pursuant to stock option plans or other equity incentive compensation plans or arrangements, on terms approved by the Board, (ii) to financing sources of the Company in connection with the issuance of debt or restructuring or recapitalization of existing debt, on terms approved by the Board, (iii) as a ratable dividend or distribution on Eligible Securities or any other class of capital stock of the Company then outstanding, or in connection with any ratable stock splits, reclassifications, recapitalizations, consolidations or similar events affecting the Eligible Securities or in any transaction in respect of a security that is available to all holders of such security on a pro rata basis, (iv) in connection with a business acquisition of the Company by a Third Party pursuant to a bona fide sale, whether by merger, consolidation, sale of assets or sale or exchange of capital stock or otherwise, to the extent approved by the Board, (v) in connection with or after the First Public Offering, (vi) to landlords, financial institutions or lessors in connection with commercial credit arrangements, commercial property transactions, leases, equipment financings or similar transactions, in each case in the ordinary course of business, on terms approved by the Board or (vii) upon conversion or exchange of any class of securities which were issued in compliance with the provisions of this Section 4.04. In addition to the foregoing, the preemptive rights set forth in this Section 4.04 shall not be applicable to any Securityholder if, at the time of such subsequent securities issuance, such Securityholder is not an “accredited investor,” as that term in then defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws. The Company shall not be under any obligation to consummate any proposed issuance of Eligible Securities, nor shall there be any liability on the part of the Company to any Securityholder if the Company has not consummated any proposed issuance of Eligible Securities pursuant to this Section 4.04 for whatever reason, regardless of whether it shall have delivered an Issuance Notice in respect of such proposed issuance.
(f) The provisions of this Section 4.04 shall terminate upon the consummation of the First Public Offering. The rights of any Preemptive Securityholder with respect to any class or series of Eligible Securities under this Section 4.04 shall terminate at such time as such
- 33 -
Preemptive Securityholder’s Aggregate Ownership of Common Units divided by its Initial Ownership of Common Units is less than 25%.
(g) Notwithstanding the requirements of this Section 4.04, the Company may issue Eligible Securities at any time without complying with the requirements of Section 4.04(a) through (d) (an “Exempt Issuance”) so long as the Company reserves at the time of sale a portion of the Eligible Securities equal to the “Preemptive Escrow Amount.” The “Preemptive Escrow Amount” shall equal that amount of Eligible Securities which the Preemptive Securityholders would have been entitled to receive if they had the opportunity to participate in the Exempt Issuance on a pro rata basis in accordance with Section 4.04(a), determined as if each Preemptive Securityholder (i) delivered written notice of its election to purchase to the Company in the time period set forth in Section 4.04(b) and (ii) proposed to purchase all of the Eligible Securities to which such Preemptive Securityholder would have been entitled to purchase pursuant to Section 4.04(a) had the Company given such Preemptive Securityholder an Issuance Notice.
Within 10 days after the date of the Exempt Issuance, the Company shall notify the Preemptive Securityholders in writing of the Exempt Issuance. Such notice (the “Preemptive Escrow Notice”) shall set forth the terms and conditions upon which the Preemptive Securityholders may purchase Eligible Securities and the Issuance Pro Rata Portion that such Preemptive Securityholder is entitled to receive.
A Preemptive Securityholder may exercise the preemptive right by delivery to the Company, within 30 days of the date the Company mailed or caused to be mailed the Preemptive Escrow Notice, of a written notice specifying the number (or amount) of Eligible Securities it proposes to purchase of its Issuance Pro Rata Portion (the “Preemptive Election”).
Promptly after the expiration of the 30th day after the Company has mailed or caused to be mailed the Preemptive Escrow Notice, (i) the Company shall sell to each Preemptive Securityholder that number (or amount) of Eligible Securities that each such Preemptive Securityholder proposed to purchase pursuant to its Preemptive Election and (ii) all remaining Preemptive Escrow Amount so reserved may be sold to the Institutional Securityholders upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Preemptive Escrow Notice.
Section 4.05. Right to Compel the First Public Offering.
(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or otherwise, the securityholders of the Company can compel the Company to commence a First Public Offering by the affirmative vote of both the CVC US Designator and the FP Designator.
(b) The Institutional Securityholders agree, at the request of one of the Institutional Securityholders, to vote in favor of a First Public Offering if such offering can be completed on a basis such that the Total Equity Value (calculated as provided below based upon the IPO Valuation) is greater than or equal to the Threshold Price. The “IPO Valuation” means a valuation prepared in good faith by a nationally recognized independent investment banking firm
- 34 -
(which may be a proposed underwriter for such offering) reasonably acceptable to both the CVC Securityholder Representative and the FP Securityholder Representative, and establishing to the reasonable satisfaction of both the CVC Securityholder Representative and the FP Securityholder Representative that there is a reasonable certainty that the First Public Offering would be completed at a price per share implying a valuation of the Company that is at or above the Threshold Price. “Threshold Price” means $345,650,000 reduced by (i) any cash actually received by the Institutional Securityholders with respect to their Initial Ownership of Eligible Securities during the period from the Closing Date through the date of such IPO Valuation, (ii) any cash that the investment banking firm shows in its IPO Valuation is to be actually received by the Institutional Securityholders with respect to their Initial Ownership of Company Securities in connection with the First Public Offering and (iii) the liquidation preference of any Preferred Stock that is part of the Institutional Securityholders’ Initial Ownership and that the investment banking firm shows in its IPO Valuation will remain outstanding after the First Public Offering. “Total Equity Value” means the value (based upon the IPO Valuation) of the Initial Ownership of Common Units of all Institutional Securityholders (excluding unexercised options and warrants and the Warrant, but including all Common Units that are to be acquired by the Institutional Securityholders upon the conversion of any of their Initial Ownership of Eligible Securities in connection with the First Public Offering).
ARTICLE 5
REGISTRATION RIGHTS
Section 5.01. Demand Registration. (a) If, at any time after the conclusion of the Applicable Holdback Period with respect to the First Public Offering, the Company shall receive a written request from (1) both the CVC US Securityholder Representative (on behalf of one or more of the entities comprising CVC US or their Permitted Transferees) and the FP Securityholder Representative (on behalf of one or more of the entities comprising FP or their Permitted Transferees) or (2) after the first anniversary of the First Public Offering, (A) either the CVC US Securityholder Representative (on behalf of one or more of the entities comprising CVC US or their Permitted Transferees) or the FP Securityholder Representative (on behalf of one or more of the entities comprising FP or their Permitted Transferees) or (B) the CVC Asia Pacific Securityholder Representative (on behalf of one or more of the CVC Asia Pacific Investors or their Permitted Transferees) (either of the foregoing, a “Demand Registration”) that the Company effect the registration under the Securities Act of all or a portion of such Requesting Securityholder’s Registrable Securities, and specifying the intended method of disposition thereof, then the Company shall promptly give written notice of such requested registration at least 15 days prior to the anticipated filing date of the registration statement relating to such Demand Registration to each Non-Requesting Securityholder. Upon the Company’s giving notice of a requested registration, the Company will use its best efforts to effect, as expeditiously as possible, the registration under the Securities Act of:
(i) the Registrable Securities that the Company has been so requested to register by the Requesting Securityholders and, if they are not Requesting
- 35 -
Securityholders, any Institutional Securityholder, CVC Asia Pacific Investors, Peninsula, Hynix, and each of their respective Permitted Transferees participating in such registration, then held by the Requesting Securityholders and such participating Institutional Securityholder, and
(ii) subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 5.02, all other Registrable Securities of the same class or series as that requested to be registered by the Requesting Securityholders that are held by a Securityholder not covered by Section 5.01(a)(i) entitled to request the Company to effect an Incidental Registration pursuant to Section 5.02 (all such Securityholders, together with the Requesting Securityholders, the “Holders”) have requested the Company to register by written request received by the Company within 15 days after the receipt by such Holders of such written notice given by the Company,
all to the extent necessary to permit the disposition (in accordance with the intended methods thereof as aforesaid) of the Registrable Securities so to be registered, provided that the Company shall not be obligated to effect a Demand Registration unless the gross aggregate proceeds expected to be received from the sale of the Common Units requested to be included in such Demand Registration equal or exceed $25,000,000 or, in the case of a Shortform Registration, $5,000,000. In no event will the Company be required to effect more than one Demand Registration hereunder within any six-month period and the CVC Asia Pacific Securityholder Representative shall not be entitled to make more than two requests for Demand Registrations.
“Requesting Securityholder” means the Securityholder or Securityholders exercising such Demand or on whose behalf such Demand is being exercised. “Non-Requesting Securityholder” means each Securityholder with respect to a Demand Registration that is not a Requesting Securityholder.
“Shortform Registration” means a registration with the SEC on Form S-3 or any successor form then in effect.
(b) Promptly after the expiration of the 15-day period referred to in Section 5.01(a)(ii) hereof, the Company will notify all the Holders to be included in the Demand Registration of the other Holders and the number of shares of Registrable Securities requested to be included therein. At any time prior to the effective date of the registration statement relating to such registration, the Requesting Securityholder(s) may revoke such request, without liability to any of the other Holders, by providing a written notice from the party authorized to initiate the Demand Registration on behalf of such Requesting Securityholder(s) pursuant to Section 5.01(a) to the Company revoking such request. A request, so revoked, shall be considered to be a Demand Registration unless (i) such revocation arose out of the fault of the Company (in which case the Company shall be obligated to pay all Registration Expenses in connection with such revoked request), or (ii) the Requesting Securityholders reimburse the Company for all Registration Expenses of such revoked request.
- 36 -
(c) The Company will be liable for and pay all Registration Expenses in connection with any Demand Registration, regardless of whether it is effected, except as provided in (b)(ii) above.
(d) A Demand Registration shall not be deemed to have occurred:
(i) unless the registration statement relating thereto (A) has become effective under the Securities Act and (B) has remained effective for a period of at least 120 days (or such shorter period in which all Registrable Securities of the Holders included in such registration have actually been sold thereunder), provided that such registration statement shall not be considered a Demand Registration if, after any registration statement requested pursuant to this Section 5.01 becomes effective, (x) such registration statement is interfered with by any stop order, injunction or other order or requirement of the SEC or other governmental agency or court and (y) less than 75% of the Registrable Securities included in such registration statement have been sold thereunder, or
(ii) if the Maximum Offering Size (as defined below) is reduced in accordance with Section 5.01(e) such that less than 75% of the Registrable Securities of the Requesting Securityholders sought to be included in such registration are included.
(e) If a Demand Registration involves an underwritten Public Offering and the managing underwriter shall advise the Company and the Requesting Securityholders that, in its view, the number of shares of Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration (including any securities that the Company proposes to be included that are not Registrable Securities) exceeds the largest number of shares that can be sold without having an adverse effect on such offering, including the price at which such shares can be sold (the “Maximum Offering Size”), the Company will include in such registration, in the priority listed below, up to the Maximum Offering Size:
(A) first, all Registrable Securities requested to be registered by the Requesting Securityholders and, if they are not Requesting Securityholders, the Institutional Securityholders, the CVC Asia Pacific Investors, Peninsula, Hynix, and each of their respective Permitted Transferees (allocated, if necessary for the offering not to exceed the Maximum Offering Size, pro rata among such entities on the basis of the relative number of shares of Registrable Securities so requested to be registered), and
(B) second, any securities proposed to be registered for the account of any other Persons (including the Company), with such priorities among them as the Company shall determine.
- 37 -
(f) Upon written notice to each Requesting Securityholder, the Company may postpone effecting a registration pursuant to this Section 5.01 on one occasion during any period of 12 consecutive months for a reasonable time specified in the notice but not exceeding 90 days (which period may not be extended or renewed), if (1) an investment banking firm of recognized national standing shall advise the Company and the Requesting Securityholders in writing that effecting the registration would materially and adversely effect an offering of securities of such Company the preparation of which had then been commenced, (2) the Company is in possession of material non-public information the disclosure of which during the period specified in such notice the Company believes would not be in the best interests of the Company or (3) when the Requesting Securityholder is the CVC Asia Pacific Securityholder Representative, the Board determines that effecting such Demand Request would be inadvisable due to a pending or contemplated issuance of debt or equity securities by the Company; provided, that the Company may not defer a Demand Registration pursuant to clause (3) of Section 5.01(f) more than one time.
Section 5.02. Incidental Registration. (a) If, at any time after the First Public Offering, the Company proposes to register any Company Securities under the Securities Act (other than a registration on Form S-8 or S-4, or any successor or similar forms, relating to Common Units issuable upon exercise of employee stock options or in connection with any employee benefit or similar plan of the Company or in connection with a direct or indirect acquisition by the Company of another Person), whether or not for sale for its own account, it will each such time, subject to the provisions of Section 5.02(b), give prompt written notice at least 15 days prior to the anticipated effective date of the registration statement relating to such registration to each Securityholder, which notice shall set forth such Securityholder’s rights under this Section 5.02 and shall offer such Securityholder the opportunity to include in such registration statement the number of Registrable Securities of the same class or series as those proposed to be registered as each such Securityholder may request (an “Incidental Registration”), subject to the provisions of 5.02(b). Upon the written request of any such Securityholder made within five days after the receipt of notice from the Company (which request shall specify the number of Registrable Securities intended to be disposed of by such Securityholder), the Company will use all reasonable efforts (subject to Section 5.02(b)) to effect the registration under the Securities Act of all Registrable Securities that the Company has been so requested to register by all such Securityholders, to the extent required to permit the disposition of the Registrable Securities so to be registered, provided that (i) if such registration involves an underwritten Public Offering, all such Securityholders requesting to be included in the Company’s registration must sell their Registrable Securities to the underwriters selected as provided in Section 5.04(f) on the same economic terms and conditions as apply to the Company or the Requesting Securityholder, as applicable, and (ii) if, at any time after giving written notice pursuant to this Section 5.02(a) of its intention to register any securities for its own account but not in connection with any Demand Registration (except as set forth in Section 5.01) and prior to the effective date of the registration statement filed in connection with such registration, the Company shall determine for any reason not to register such securities, the Company shall give written notice to all such Securityholders and, thereupon, shall be relieved of its obligation to register any Registrable Securities in connection with such registration. No registration effected under this Section 5.02 shall relieve
- 38 -
the Company of its obligations to effect a Demand Registration to the extent required by Section 5.01. The Company shall pay all Registration Expenses in connection with each registration of Registrable Securities requested pursuant to this Section 5.02.
(b) If a registration pursuant to this Section 5.02 involves an underwritten Public Offering (other than any Demand Registration, in which case the provisions with respect to priority of inclusion in such offering set forth in Section 5.01(e) shall apply) and the managing underwriter advises the Company that, in its view, the number of Registrable Securities that the Company and such Securityholders intend to include in such registration exceeds the Maximum Offering Size, the Company will include in such registration, in the following priority, up to the Maximum Offering Size:
(i) first, so much of the securities proposed to be registered for the account of the Company as would not cause the offering to exceed the Maximum Offering Size,
(ii) second, all Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration by the Institutional Securityholders, CVC Asia Pacific Investors, Peninsula, Hynix, and each of their Permitted Transferees (allocated, if necessary for the offering not to exceed the Maximum Offering Size, pro rata among such entities or persons on the basis of the relative number of shares of Registrable Securities so requested to be included in such registration),
(iii) third, any securities proposed to be registered for the account of any other Persons with such priorities among them as the Company shall determine.
Section 5.03. Holdback Agreements. If any registration of Registrable Securities shall be in connection with a Public Offering, each Securityholder and the Company agree not to effect any public sale or distribution, including any sale pursuant to Rule 144 or Rule 144A under the Securities Act, or any successor provisions, of any Registrable Securities, and not to effect any such public sale or distribution of any other security of the Company or of any stock convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any Common Stock (in each case, other than as part of such Public Offering) during the 14 days prior to the effective date of the applicable registration statement (except as part of such registration) or during the period after such effective date equal to the lesser of (i) such period of time as the Company and the lead managing underwriter shall agree, which period of time shall be the holdback period applicable to all Securityholders, and (ii) 180 days (such lesser period, the “Applicable Holdback Period”).
Section 5.04. Registration Procedures. Whenever Securityholders request that any Registrable Securities be registered pursuant to Section 5.01 or 5.02 hereof, subject to the provisions of such Sections, the Company will use its best efforts to effect the registration and the sale of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method of disposition thereof as quickly as practicable, and in connection with any such request:
(a) The Company will as expeditiously as possible prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement on any form reasonably acceptable to the Requesting Securityholders for which the Company then qualifies or that counsel for the Company shall deem appropriate and which form shall be available for the sale of the Registrable Securities to be registered thereunder in accordance with the intended method of distribution thereof, and use its best efforts to cause such filed registration statement to become and remain effective for a period of not less than 180 days, or in the case of a shelf registration statement, one year (or such shorter period in which all of the Registrable Securities of the Holders included in such registration statement shall have actually been sold thereunder).
- 39 -
(b) Prior to filing a registration statement or prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, the Company will, if requested, furnish to each participating Securityholder and each underwriter, if any, of the Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement copies of such registration statement as proposed to be filed, and thereafter the Company will furnish to such Securityholder and underwriter, if any, such number of copies of such registration statement, each amendment and supplement thereto (in each case including all exhibits thereto and documents incorporated by reference therein), the prospectus included in such registration statement (including each preliminary prospectus and any summary prospectus) and any other prospectus filed under Rule 424 or Rule 430A under the Securities Act and such other documents as such Securityholder or underwriter may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such Securityholder. Each of the CVC US Securityholder Representative, the FP Securityholder Representative and the CVC Asia Pacific Securityholder Representative shall have the right to request that the Company modify any information contained in such registration statement, amendment and supplement thereto pertaining to such Institutional Securityholder or any of the CVC Asia Pacific Investors or their Permitted Transferees, as the case may be, and the Company shall use all reasonable efforts to comply with such request, provided, however, that the Company shall not have any obligation so to modify any information if so doing would cause the prospectus to contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading.
(c) After the filing of the registration statement, the Company will (i) cause the related prospectus to be supplemented by any required prospectus supplement, and, as so supplemented, to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 under the Securities Act, (ii) to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement during the applicable period in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the sellers thereof set forth in such registration statement or supplement to such prospectus and (iii) promptly notify each Securityholder holding Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement of any stop order issued or threatened by the SEC or any state securities commission under state blue sky laws and take all reasonable actions required to prevent the entry of such stop order or to remove it if entered.
(d) The Company will use all reasonable efforts to (i) register or qualify the Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement under such other securities or blue
- 40 -
sky laws of such jurisdictions in the United States as any Securityholder holding such Registrable Securities reasonably (in light of such Securityholder’s intended plan of distribution) requests and (ii) cause such Registrable Securities to be registered with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary by virtue of the business and operations of the Company and do any and all other acts and things that may be reasonably necessary or advisable to enable such Securityholder to consummate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such Securityholder, provided that the Company will not be required to (A) qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this paragraph (d), (B) subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction or (C) consent to general service of process in any such jurisdiction.
(e) The Company will immediately notify each Securityholder holding such Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement, at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the occurrence of an event requiring the preparation of 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 material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading and promptly prepare and make available to each such Securityholder and file with the SEC any such supplement or amendment.
(f) (i) (A) The CVC US Securityholder Representative and the FP Securityholder Representative, together, in the case of a Demand Registration made pursuant to clause (1) of Section 5.01(a), or (B) either the CVC US Securityholder Representative, the FP Securityholder Representative or CVC Asia Pacific Securityholder Representative, in the case of a Demand Registration made pursuant to clause (2) of Section 5.01(a) by such Institutional Securityholder or the CVC Asia Pacific Securityholder Representative, as applicable, will have the right, in their sole discretion, to select an underwriter or underwriters in connection with any Public Offering resulting from the exercise of a Demand Registration by such Securityholders, which underwriter or underwriters may include any Affiliate of any Institutional Securityholder, and (ii) the Company will select an underwriter or underwriters in connection with any other Public Offering. In connection with any Public Offering, the Company will enter into customary agreements (including an underwriting agreement in customary form) and take such other actions as are reasonably required in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities in any such Public Offering, including the engagement of a “qualified independent underwriter” in connection with the qualification of the underwriting arrangements with the NASD.
(g) Upon execution of confidentiality agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company, the Company will make available for inspection by any Securityholder and any underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to a registration statement being filed by the Company pursuant to this Section 5.04 and any attorney, accountant or other professional retained by any such Securityholder or underwriter (collectively, the “Inspectors”), all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company (collectively, the “Records”) as shall be reasonably necessary or desirable to
- 41 -
enable them to exercise their due diligence responsibility, and cause the Company’s officers, directors and employees to supply all information reasonably requested by any Inspectors in connection with such registration statement. Records that the Company determines, in good faith, to be confidential and that it notifies the Inspectors are confidential shall not be disclosed by the Inspectors unless (i) the disclosure of such Records is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in such registration statement or (ii) the release of such Records is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other order from a court of competent jurisdiction. Each Securityholder agrees that information obtained by it as a result of such inspections shall be deemed confidential and shall not be used by it or its Affiliates as the basis for any market transactions in the Company Securities unless and until such is made generally available to the public. Each Securityholder further agrees that, upon learning that disclosure of such Records is sought in a court of competent jurisdiction, it will give notice to the Company and allow the Company, at its own expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of the Records deemed confidential.
(h) The Company will furnish to each such Securityholder and to each such underwriter, if any, a signed counterpart, addressed to such Securityholder or underwriter, of (i) an opinion or opinions of counsel to the Company and (ii) a comfort letter or comfort letters from the Company’s independent public accountants, each in customary form and covering such matters of the kind customarily covered by opinions or comfort letters, as the case may be, as a majority of such Securityholders (determined by Aggregate Ownership of Common Units) or the managing underwriter therefor reasonably requests.
(i) The Company will otherwise use its best efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC, and make available to its securityholders, as soon as reasonably practicable, an earnings statement or such other document covering a period of 12 months, beginning within three months after the effective date of the registration statement, which earnings statement shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder.
(j) The Company may require each such Securityholder promptly to furnish in writing to the Company such information regarding the distribution of the Registrable Securities as the Company may from time to time reasonably request and such other information as may be legally required in connection with such registration.
(k) Each such Securityholder agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 5.04(e) hereof, such Securityholder will forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the registration statement covering such Registrable Securities until such Securityholder’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 5.04(e) hereof, and, if so directed by the Company, such Securityholder will deliver to the Company all copies, other than any permanent file copies then in such Securityholder’s possession, of the most recent prospectus covering such Registrable Securities at the time of receipt of such notice. In the event that the Company shall give such notice, the Company shall extend the period during which such
- 42 -
registration statement shall be maintained effective (including the period referred to in Section 5.04(a) hereof) by the number of days during the period from and including the date of the giving of notice pursuant to Section 5.04(e) hereof to the date when the Company shall make available to such Securityholder a prospectus supplemented or amended to conform with the requirements of Section 5.04(e) hereof.
(l) The Company will use its best efforts to list all Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement on any securities exchange or quotation system on which any of the Registrable Securities are then listed or traded.
(m) The Company will provide and cause to be maintained a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement from and after a date not later than the effective date of such registration statement.
Section 5.05. Indemnification by the Company. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Securityholder holding Registrable Securities covered by a registration statement, its officers, directors, employees, partners and agents, and each Person, if any, who controls such Securityholder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any registration statement or prospectus relating to the Registrable Securities (as amended or supplemented if the Company shall have furnished any amendments or supplements thereto) or any preliminary prospectus, or caused by 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, except insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities are caused by any such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission so made based upon information furnished in writing to the Company by such Securityholder or on such Securityholder’s behalf expressly for use therein, provided that, with respect to any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in any preliminary prospectus, or in any prospectus, as the case may be, the indemnity agreement contained in this paragraph shall not apply to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense results from the fact that a current copy of the prospectus (or such amended or supplemented prospectus, as the case may be) was not sent or given to the Person asserting any such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of the Registrable Securities concerned to such Person if it is determined that the Company has provided such prospectus to such Securityholder and it was the responsibility of such Securityholder to provide such Person with a current copy of the prospectus (or such amended or supplemented prospectus, as the case may be) and such current copy of the prospectus (or such amended or supplemented prospectus, as the case may be) would have cured the defect giving rise to such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense. The Company also agrees to indemnify any underwriters of the Registrable Securities, their officers and directors and each person who controls such underwriters on substantially the same basis as that of the indemnification of the Securityholders provided in this Section 5.05.
- 43 -
Section 5.06. Indemnification by Participating Securityholders. Each Securityholder holding Registrable Securities included in any registration statement agrees, severally but not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its officers, directors and agents and each Person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to such Securityholder, but only (i) with respect to information furnished in writing by such Securityholder or on such Securityholder’s behalf expressly for use in any registration statement or prospectus relating to the Registrable Securities, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any preliminary prospectus or (ii) to the extent that any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense described in Section 5.05 results from the fact that a current copy of the prospectus (or such amended or supplemented prospectus, as the case may be) was not sent or given to the Person asserting any such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of the Registrable Securities concerned to such Person if it is determined that it was the responsibility of such Securityholder to provide such Person with a current copy of the prospectus (or such amended or supplemented prospectus, as the case may be) and such current copy of the prospectus (or such amended or supplemented prospectus, as the case may be) would have cured the defect giving rise to such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense. Each such Securityholder also agrees to indemnify and hold harmless underwriters of the Registrable Securities, their officers and directors and each Person who controls such underwriters on substantially the same basis as that of the indemnification of the Company provided in this Section 5.06. As a condition to including Registrable Securities in any registration statement filed in accordance with Article 5 hereof, the Company may require that it shall have received an undertaking reasonably satisfactory to it from any underwriter to indemnify and hold it harmless to the extent customarily provided by underwriters with respect to similar securities. No Securityholder shall be liable under this Section 5.06 for any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense in excess of the net proceeds realized by such Securityholder in the sale of Registrable Securities of such Securityholder to which such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense relates.
Section 5.07. Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. In case any proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall be instituted involving any Person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Article 5, such Person (an “Indemnified Party”) shall promptly notify the Person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing and the Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party, and shall assume the payment of all fees and expenses, provided that the failure of any Indemnified Party so to notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure to notify. In any such proceeding, any Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party unless (i) the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel or (ii) in the reasonable judgment of such Indemnified Party representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. It is understood that, in connection with

any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (in addition to any local counsel) at any time for all such Indemnified Parties, and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. In the case of any such separate firm for the Indemnified Parties, such firm shall be designated in writing by the Indemnified Parties. The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent, or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff the Indemnifying Party shall indemnify and hold harmless such Indemnified Parties from and against any loss or liability (to the extent stated above) by reason of such settlement or judgment. Without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, no Indemnifying Party shall effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such proceeding.
Section 5.08. Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Article 5 is unavailable to the Indemnified Parties in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to herein, then each such Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (i) as between the Company and the Securityholders holding Registrable Securities covered by a registration statement, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and such Securityholders from the offering of the Registrable Securities, or if such allocation is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company and such Securityholders in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations and (ii) as between the Company on the one hand and each such Securityholder on the other, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Company and of each such Securityholder in connection with such statements or omissions, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company and such Securityholders shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the relative proceeds from the offering (net of underwriting discounts and commissions and expenses) received by the Company and such Securityholders. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of each such Securityholder on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by such party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.
The Company and the Securityholders agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 5.08 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in the immediately preceding
- 45 -
paragraph shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 5.08, no Securityholder shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Registrable Securities of such Securityholder were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages that such Securityholder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. Each Securityholder’s obligation to contribute pursuant to this Section 5.08 is several in the proportion that the proceeds of the offering received by such Securityholder bears to the total proceeds of the offering received by all such Securityholders and not joint.
Section 5.09. Participation in Public Offering. No Person may participate in any Public Offering hereunder unless such Person (a) agrees to sell such Person’s securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements and (b) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements and the provisions of this Agreement in respect of registration rights.
Section 5.10. Other Indemnification. Indemnification similar to that specified herein (with appropriate modifications) shall be given by the Company and each Securityholder participating therein with respect to any required registration or other qualification of securities under any federal or state law or regulation or governmental authority other than the Securities Act.
Section 5.11. Cooperation by the Company. If any Securityholder shall transfer any Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 144 or Rule 144A under the Securities Act, the Company shall cooperate, to the extent commercially reasonable, with such Securityholder and shall provide to such Securityholder such information as such Securityholder shall reasonably request.
Section 5.12. No Transfer of Registration Rights. None of the rights of Securityholders under this Article 5 shall be assignable by any Securityholder to any Person acquiring Securities in any Public Offering or pursuant to Rule 144 or Rule 144A of the Securities Act.
