accordance with this Agreement; provided, however, that for purposes of this
-------- -------
Agreement, a record holder of shares of Series A, Series B or Series C Stock (or
Series A-I, Series B-I or Series C-I Stock, respectively) convertible into such
Registrable Securities shall be deemed to be the Holder of such Registrable
Securities; and provided further that the Company shall in no event be

A-I, Series B-I or Series C-I Stock, and that Holders of Registrable Securities
will not be required to convert their shares of Series A, Series B or Series C

1.2 Demand Registration
-------------------
(a) Request by Holders. If the Company shall receive at any
------------------
time after the later of (i) December 31, 2001, or (ii) six (6) months after the
effective date of the Company's initial public offering of its securities
pursuant to a registration filed under the 1933 Act, a written request from the
Holders of at least a majority of the Registrable Securities then outstanding
that the Company file a registration statement under the 1933 Act covering the
registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 1.2, then the
Company shall, within ten (10) business days of the receipt of such written
request, give written notice of such request ("Request Notice") to all Holders,
and use its best efforts to effect, as soon as practicable, the registration
under the 1933 Act of all Registrable Securities which Holders request to be
registered and included in such registration by written notice given such
Holders to the Company within twenty (20) days after receipt of the Request
Notice, subject only to the limitations of this Section 1.2; provided that the
--------
Registrable Securities requested by all Holders to be registered pursuant to
such request must either (i) be at least fifty percent (50%) of all Registrable
Securities then outstanding or (ii) have an anticipated aggregate public
offering price (before any underwriting discounts and commissions) of not less
than $2,500,000. The Company shall not be obligated to effect any such
registration, qualification or compliance pursuant to this Section 1.2: (i) if
the Company has, within a six (6) month period preceding the date of the
Initiating Holders' (as defined below) request for registration, already
affected a public offering of its securities pursuant to a registration filed
under the Securities Act; or (ii) in any jurisdiction in which the Company would
be required to qualify to do business or to execute a general consent to service
of process in effecting such registration, qualification or compliance.
(b) Underwriting. If the Holders initiating the registration
------------
request under this Section 1.2 ("Initiating Holders") intend to distribute the
Registrable Securities covered by their request by means of an underwriting,
then they shall so advise the Company as a part of their request made pursuant
to this Section 1.2 and the Company shall include such information in the
written notice referred to in subsection 1.2(a). In such event, the right of any
Holder to include his Registrable Securities in such registration shall be
conditioned upon such Holder's participation in such underwriting and the
inclusion of such Holder's Registrable Securities in the underwriting (unless
otherwise mutually agreed by a majority in interest of the Initiating Holders
and such Holder) to the extent provided herein. All Holders proposing to
distribute their securities through such underwriting shall enter into an
underwriting agreement in customary form with the managing underwriter or
underwriters selected for such underwriting by the Company. Notwithstanding any
other provision of this Section 1.2, if the underwriter(s) advise(s) the Company
in
2.
writing that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of securities
to be underwritten then the Company shall so advise all Holders of Registrable
Securities which would otherwise be registered and underwritten pursuant hereto,
and the number of Registrable Securities that may be included in the
underwriting shall be reduced as required by the underwriter(s) and allocated
among the Holders of Registrable Securities on a pro rata basis according to the
number of Registrable Securities then outstanding held by each Holder requesting
registration (including the Initiating Holders); provided, however, that the
-------- -------
number of shares of Registrable Securities to be included in such underwriting
and registration shall not be reduced unless all other securities of the Company
are first entirely excluded from the underwriting and registration. Any
Registrable Securities excluded and withdrawn from such underwriting shall be
withdrawn from the registration.
(c) Maximum Number of Demand Registrations. The Company is
--------------------------------------
obligated to effect only one (1) such registration pursuant to this Section 1.2.
(d) Deferral. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company
--------
shall furnish to Holders requesting the filing of a registration statement
pursuant to this Section 1.2 a certificate signed by the President or Chief
Executive Officer of the Company stating that in the good faith judgment of the
Board of Directors of the Company, it would be seriously detrimental to the
Company and its shareholders for such registration statement to be filed and it
is therefore essential to defer the filing of such registration statement, then
the Company shall have the right to defer such filing for a period of not more
than 120 days after receipt of the request of the Initiating Holders; provided,
--------
however, that the Company may not utilize this right more than once in any
-------
twelve (12) month period.
(e) Expenses. All expenses incurred in connection with a
--------
registration pursuant to this Section 1.2, including without limitation all
registration and qualification fees, printers' and accounting fees, fees and
disbursements of counsel for the Company, and the reasonable fees and
disbursements of one counsel for the selling Holders (but excluding accounting
fees for extraordinary audits and underwriters' or brokers' discounts and
commissions), shall be borne by the Company. Each Holder participating in a
registration pursuant to this Section 1.2 shall bear such Holder's proportionate
share (based on the total number of shares sold in such registration other than
for the account of the Company) of all discounts, commissions or other amounts
payable to underwriters or brokers in connection with such offering and any
accounting fees for extraordinary audits. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Company shall not be required to pay for any expenses of any registration
proceeding begun pursuant to this Section 1.2 if the registration request is
subsequently withdrawn at the request of the Holders of a majority of the
Registrable Securities to be registered, unless the Holders of a majority of the
Registrable Securities then outstanding agree to forfeit their right to demand
registration pursuant to this Section 1.2 (in which case such right shall be
forfeited by all Holders of Registrable Securities); provided, further,
-------- -------
however, that if at the time of such withdrawal, the Holders have learned of a
-------
material adverse change in the condition, business, or prospects of the Company
not known to the Holders at the time of their request for such registration and
have withdrawn their request for registration with reasonable promptness after
learning of such material adverse change, then the Holders shall not be required
to pay any of such expenses and shall retain their rights pursuant to this
Section 1.2.
1.3 Piggyback Registrations. The Company shall notify all Holders of
-----------------------
Registrable Securities in writing at least thirty (30) days prior to filing any
registration statement under the 1933 Act for purposes of effecting a public
offering of securities of the Company (including, but not limited to
registration statements relating to secondary offerings of securities of the
Company but excluding registration statements relating to any registration under
---------
Section 1.2 or Section 1.4 of this Agreement or to any employee benefit plan or
a corporate reorganization) and will afford each such Holder an opportunity to
include in such registration statement all or any part of the Registrable
Securities then held by such Holder. Each Holder desiring to include in any such
registration statement all or any part of the Registrable Securities held by
such Holder shall, within twenty (20) days after receipt of the above-described
notice from the Company, so notify the Company in writing, and in such notice
shall inform the Company of the number of Registrable Securities such Holder
wishes to include in such registration statement. If a Holder decides not to
include all of its Registrable Securities in any registration statement
thereafter filed by the Company, such Holder shall nevertheless continue to have
the right to include any Registrable Securities in any subsequent registration
statement or registration statements as may be filed by the Company with respect
to offerings of its securities, all upon the terms and
3.
conditions set forth herein.
(a) Underwriting. If a registration statement under which the
------------
Company gives notice under this Section 1.3 is for an underwritten offering,
then the Company shall so advise the Holders of Registrable Securities. In such
event, the right of any such Holder's Registrable Securities to be included in a
registration pursuant to this Section 1.3 shall be conditioned upon such
Holder's participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder's
Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided herein. All
Holders proposing to distribute their Registrable Securities through such
underwriting shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with
the managing underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the managing
underwriter(s) determine(s) in good faith that marketing factors require a
limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten, then the managing
underwriter(s) may exclude shares (including Registrable Securities) from the
registration and the underwriting, and the number of shares that may be included
in the registration and the underwriting shall be allocated, first, to the
-----
Company, and second, to each of the Holders requesting inclusion of their
------
Registrable Securities in such registration statement on a pro rata basis based
on the total number of Registrable Securities then held by each such Holder. If
any Holder disapproves of the terms of any such underwriting, such Holder may
elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company and the
underwriter, delivered at least ten (10) business days prior to the effective
date of the registration statement. Any Registrable Securities excluded or
withdrawn from such underwriting shall be excluded and withdrawn from the
registration. For any Holder which is a partnership or corporation, the
partners, retired partners and shareholders of such Holder, or the estates and
family members of any such partners and retired partners and any trusts for the
benefit of any of the foregoing persons shall be deemed to be a single "Holder",
and any pro rata reduction with respect to such "Holder" shall be based upon the
aggregate amount of Registrable Securities owned by all entities and individuals
included in such "Holder", as defined in this sentence.
(b) Expenses. All expenses incurred in connection with a
--------
registration pursuant to this Section 1.3 (excluding underwriters' and brokers'
discounts and commissions), including, without limitation all federal and "blue
sky" registration and qualification fees, printers' and accounting fees, fees
and disbursements of counsel for the Company and reasonable fees and
disbursements of one counsel for the selling Holders shall be borne by the
Company.
1.4 Form S-3 Registration. In case the Company shall receive from
---------------------
any Holder or Holders of at least twenty-five percent (25%) of all Registrable
Securities then outstanding a written request or requests that the Company
effect a registration on Form S-3 and any related qualification or compliance
with respect to all or a part of the Registrable Securities owned by such Holder
or Holders, then the Company will:
(a) Notice. Promptly give written notice of the proposed
------
registration and the Holder's or Holders' request therefor, and any related
qualification or compliance, to all other Holders of Registrable Securities; and
(b) Registration. As soon as practicable, effect such
------------
registration and all such qualifications and compliances as may be so requested
and as would permit or facilitate the sale and distribution of all or such
portion of such Holder's or Holders' Registrable Securities as are specified in
such request, together with all or such portion of the Registrable Securities of
any other Holder or Holders joining in such request as are specified in a
written request given within twenty (20) days after receipt of such written
notice from the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be
-------- -------
obligated to effect any such registration, qualification or compliance pursuant
to this Section 1.4:
(1) if Form S-3 is not available for such offering by the
Holders;
(2) if the Holders, together with the holders of any other
securities of the Company entitled to inclusion in such registration, propose to
sell Registrable Securities and such other securities (if any) at an aggregate
price to the public of less than $1,000,000;
4.
(3) if the Company shall furnish to the Holders a
certificate signed by the President or Chief Executive Officer of the Company
stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the
Company, it would be seriously detrimental to the Company and its shareholders
for such Form S-3 Registration to be effected at such time, in which event the
Company shall have the right to defer the filing of the Form S-3 registration
statement no more than once during any twelve (12) month period for a period of
not more than 120 days after receipt of the request of the Holder or Holders
under this Section 1.4;
(4) if the Company has, within the twelve (12) month period
from the date of such request, already effected one (1) registration on Form S-3
for the Holders pursuant to this Section 1.4; or
(5) in any jurisdiction in which the Company would be
required to quality to do business or to execute a general consent to service of
process in effecting such registration, qualification or compliance.
(c) Expenses. Subject to the foregoing, the Company shall file
--------
a Form S-3 registration statement covering the Registrable Securities and other
securities so requested to be registered pursuant to this Section 1.4 as soon as
practicable after receipt of the request or requests of the Holders for such
registration. The Company shall pay all expenses incurred in connection with the
first registration requested pursuant to this Section 2.4, (excluding accounting
fees for extraordinary audits and underwriters' or brokers' discounts and
commissions), including without limitation all filing, registration and
qualification, printers' and accounting fees and the reasonable fees and
disbursements of one counsel for the selling Holder or Holders and counsel for
the Company. All expenses incurred in connection with any subsequent
registration requested pursuant to this Section 1.4 shall be borne by the
Holders who participate in such registration on a pro rata basis according to
the number of Registrable Securities owned by the Holders that are included in
such registration at the time it goes effective.
(d) Not Demand Registration. Form S-3 registrations shall not
-----------------------
be deemed to be demand registrations as described in Section 1.2 above.
1.5 Obligations of the Company. Whenever required to effect the
--------------------------
registration of any Registrable Securities under this Agreement, the Company
shall, as expeditiously as reasonably possible:
(a) Prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement with
respect to such Registrable Securities and use its best efforts to cause such
registration statement to become effective, and, upon the request of the Holders
of a majority of the Registrable Securities registered thereunder, keep such
registration statement effective for up to ninety (90) days;
(b) Prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and
supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection
with such registration statement as may be necessary to comply with the
provisions of the 1933 Act with respect to the disposition of all securities
covered by such registration statement;
(c) Furnish to the Holders such number of copies of a
prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, in conformity with the
requirements of the 1933 Act, and such other documents as they may reasonably
request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities
owned by them that are included in such registration;
(d) Use its best efforts to register and quality the securities
covered by such registration statement under such other securities or blue sky
laws of such jurisdictions as shall be reasonably requested by the Holders,
provided that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a
condition thereto to quality to do business or to file a general consent to
service of process in any such states or jurisdictions;
5.
(e) In the event of any underwritten public offering, enter into
and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and
customary form, with the managing underwriter(s) of such offering. Each Holder
participating in such underwriting shall also enter into and perform its
obligations under such an agreement;
(f) Notify each Holder of Registrable Securities covered by such
registration statement at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is
required to be delivered under the 1933 Act of the happening of any event as a
result of which the prospectus included in such registration statement, as then
in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing; and
(g) Furnish, at the request of any Holder requesting
registration of Registrable Securities, on the date that such Registrable
Securities are delivered to the underwriters for sale, if such securities are
being sold through underwriters, or, if such securities are not being sold
through underwriters, on the date that the registration statement with respect
to such securities becomes effective, (i) an opinion, dated as of such date, of
the counsel representing the Company for the purposes of such registration, in
form and substance as is customarily given to underwriters in an underwritten
public offering and reasonably satisfactory to a majority in interest of the
Holders requesting registration, addressed to the underwriters, if any, and to
the Holders requesting registration of Registrable Securities, and (ii) a
"comfort" letter dated as of such date, from the independent certified public
accountants of the Company, in form and substance as is customarily given by
independent certified public accountants to underwriters in an underwritten
public offering and reasonably satisfactory to a majority in interest of the
Holders requesting registration, addressed to the underwriters, if any, and to
the Holders requesting registration of Registrable Securities.
1.6 Furnish Information. It shall be a condition precedent to the
-------------------
obligations of the Company to take any action pursuant to Sections 1.2, 1.3 or
1.4 that the selling Holders shall furnish to the Company such information
regarding themselves, the Registrable Securities held by them, and the intended
method of disposition of such securities as shall be required to timely effect
the registration of their Registrable Securities.
1.7 Delay of Registration. No Holder shall have any right to obtain
---------------------
or seek an injunction restraining or otherwise delaying any such registration as
the result of any controversy that might arise with respect to the
interpretation or implementation of this Section 1.
1.8 Indemnification. In the event any Registrable Securities are
---------------
included in a registration statement under Sections 1.2, 1.3 or 1.4:
(a) By the Company. To the extent permitted by law, the Company
--------------
will indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, the partners, officers and
directors of each Holder, any underwriter (as defined in the 0000 Xxx) for such
Holder and each person, if any, who controls such Holder or underwriter within
the meaning of the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act, against any losses, claims,
damages, or liabilities (joint or several) to which they may become subject
under the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act or other federal or state law, insofar as such
losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise
out of or are based upon any of the following statements, omissions or
violations (collectively a "Violation"):
(i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact contained in such registration statement, including any
preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or any amendments
or supplements thereto;
(ii) the omission or alleged omission to state therein a
material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading, or
(iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of
the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act, any federal or state securities law or any rule or
regulation promulgated under the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act or
6.
any federal or state securities law in connection with the offering covered by
such registration statement;
and the Company will reimburse each such Holder, partner, officer or director,
underwriter or controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably
incurred by them, as incurred, in connection with investigating or defending any
such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided however, that the
-------- -------
indemnity agreement contained in this subsection 1.8(a) shall not apply to
amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action
if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld), nor shall the Company be liable in any such
case for any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action to the extent that it
arises out of or is based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in
conformity with written information furnished expressly for use in connection
with such registration by such Holder, partner, officer, director, underwriter
or controlling person of such Holder.
(b) By Selling Holders. To the extent permitted by law, each
------------------
selling Holder will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its
directors, each of its officers who have signed the registration statement, each
person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the 1933 Act, any
underwriter and any other Holder selling securities under such registration
statement or any of such other Holder's partners, directors or officers or any
person who controls such Holder within the meaning of the 1933 Act or the 1934
Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (joint or several) to
which the Company or any such director, officer, controlling person, underwriter
or other such Holder, partner or director, officer or controlling person of such
other Holder may become subject under the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act or other
federal or state law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or
actions in respect thereto) arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in
each case to the extent (and only to the extent) that such Violation occurs in
reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by such
Holder expressly for use in connection with such registration; and each such
Holder will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the
Company or any such director, officer, controlling person, underwriter or other
Holder, partner, officer, director or controlling person of such other Holder in
connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage,
liability or action; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained
-------- -------
in this subsection 1.8(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any
such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected
without the consent of the Holder, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld; and provided further, that the total amounts payable in indemnity by a
-------- -------
Holder under this Section 1.8(b) in respect of any Violation shall not exceed
the net proceeds received by such Holder in the registered offering out of which
such Violation arises.
(c) Notice. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party
------
under this Section 1.8 of notice of the commencement of any action (including
any governmental action), such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect
thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 1.8,
deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof
and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the
extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying
party similarly noticed, to assume the defense thereof with counsel mutually
satisfactory to the parties; provided however, that an indemnified party shall
-------- -------
have the right to retain its own counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid
by the indemnifying party, if representation of such indemnified party by the
counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual
or potential conflict of interests between such indemnified party and any other
party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The failure to deliver
written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the
commencement of any such action, if prejudicial to its ability to defend such
action, shall relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the
indemnified party under this Section 1.8, but the omission so to deliver written
notice to the indemnifying party will not relieve it of any liability that it
may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 1.8.
(d) Defect Eliminated in Final Prospectus. The foregoing
-------------------------------------
indemnity agreements of the Company and Holders are subject to the condition
that, insofar as they relate to any Violation made in a preliminary prospectus
but eliminated or remedied in the amended prospectus on file with the SEC at the
time the registration statement in question becomes effective or the amended
prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to SEC Rule 424(b)
7.
(the "Final Prospectus"), such indemnity agreement shall not inure to the
benefit of any person if a copy of the Final Prospectus was furnished to the
indemnified party and was not furnished to the person asserting the loss,
liability, claim or damage at or prior to the time such action is required by
the 1933 Act.
(e) Contribution. In order to provide for just and equitable
------------
contribution to joint liability under the 1933 Act in any case in which either
(i) any Holder exercising rights under this Agreement, or any controlling person
of any such Holder, makes a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Section
1.8 but it is judicially determined (by the entry of a final judgment or decree
by a court of competent jurisdiction and the expiration of time to appeal or the
denial of the last right of appeal) that such indemnification may not be
enforced in such case notwithstanding the fact that this Section 1.8 provides
for indemnification in such case, or (ii) contribution under the 1933 Act may be
required on the part of any such selling Holder or any such controlling person
in circumstances for which indemnification is provided under this Section 1.8;
then, and in each such case, the Company and such Holder will contribute to the
aggregate losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which they may be subject
(after contribution from others) in such proportion so that such Holder is
responsible for the portion represented by the percentage that the public
offering price of its Registrable Securities offered by and sold under the
registration statement bears to the public offering price of all securities
offered by and sold under such registration statement, and the Company and other
selling Holders are responsible for the remaining portion; provided, however,
-------- -------
that, in any such case, (A) no such Holder will be required to contribute any
amount in excess of the public offering price of all such Registrable Securities
offered and sold by such Holder pursuant to such registration statement; and (B)
no person or entity guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning
of Section 11(f) of the 0000 Xxx) will be entitled to contribution from any
person or entity who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
(f) Survival. The obligations of the Company and Holders under
--------
this Section 1.8 shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable
Securities in a registration statement, and otherwise.
1.9 "Market Stand-Off" Agreement. Each Holder hereby agrees that it
----------------------------
shall not, to the extent requested by the Company or an underwriter of
securities of the Company, sell or otherwise transfer or dispose of any
Registrable Securities or other shares of stock of the Company then owned by
such Holder (other than to donees or partners of the Holder who agree to be
similarly bound) for up to one hundred eighty (180) days following the effective
date of a registration statement of the Company filed under the 1933 Act;
provided, however, that:
-------- -------
(a) such agreement shall be applicable only to the first such
registration statement of the Company which covers securities to be sold on its
behalf to the public in an underwritten offering but not to Registrable
Securities sold pursuant to such registration statement.
In order to enforce the foregoing covenant, the Company shall have the right to
place restrictive legends on the certificates representing the shares subject to
this Section and to impose stop transfer instructions with respect to the
Registrable Securities and such other shares of stock of each Holder (and the
shares or securities of every other person subject to the foregoing restriction)
until the end of such period.
1.10 Rule 144 Reporting. With a view to making available the benefits
------------------
of certain rules and regulations of the Commission which may at any time permit
the sale of the Registrable securities to the public without registration, after
such time as a public market exists for the Common Stock of the Company, the
Company agrees to:
(a) Make and keep public information available, as those terms
are understood and defined in Rule 144 under the 1933 Act, at all times after
the effective date of the first registration under the 1933 Act filed by the
Company for an offering of its securities to the general public;
(b) Use its best efforts to file with the Commission in a timely
manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the 1933
Act and the 1934 Act (at any time after it has become subject to such reporting
requirements); and
8.
(c) So long as a Holder owns any Registrable Securities, to
furnish to the Holder forthwith upon request a written statement by the Company
as to its compliance with the reporting requirements of said Rule 144 (at any
time after 90 days after the effective date of the first registration statement
filed by the Company for an offering of its securities to the general public),
and of the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act (at any time after it has become subject to
the reporting requirements of the 1934 Act), a copy of the most recent annual or
quarterly report of the Company, and such other reports and documents of the
Company as a Holder may reasonably request in availing itself of any rule or
regulation of the Commission allowing a Holder to sell any such securities
without registration (at any time after the Company has become subject to the
reporting requirements of the 1934 Act).
1.11 Termination of the Company's Obligations. The Company shall have
----------------------------------------
no obligations pursuant to Sections 1.2 through 1.4 with respect to: (i) any
request or requests for registration made by any Holder on a date more than five
(5) years after the closing date of the Company's initial public offering; or
(ii) any Registrable Securities proposed to be sold by a Holder in a
registration pursuant to Section 1.2, 1.3 or 1.4 if, in the opinion of counsel
to the Company, all such Registrable Securities proposed to be sold by a Holder
may be sold in a three-month period without registration under the 1933 Act
pursuant to Rule 144 under the 1933 Act.
2. RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL.
----------------------
2.1 General. Each Holder (as defined in Section 1.1(d)) and any party
-------
to whom such Holder's rights under Section 3 have been duly assigned in
accordance with Section 3.1(b) (each such Holder or assignee being hereinafter
----
referred to as a "Rights Holder") has the right of first refusal to purchase
such Rights Holder's Pro Rata Share (as defined below), of all (or any part) of
any "New Securities" (as defined in Section 2.2) that the Company may from time
to time issue after the date of this Agreement. A Rights Holder's "Pro Rata
Share" for purposes of this right of first refusal is the ratio of (a) the
number of Registrable Securities as to which such Rights Holder is the Holder
(and/or is deemed to be the Holder under Section 1.1(d)), to (b) a number of
shares of Common Stock of the Company equal to the sum of (i) the total number
of shares of Common Stock of the Company then outstanding plus (ii) the total
number of shares of Common Stock of the Company into which all then-outstanding
shares of Preferred Stock of the Company, or other then-outstanding convertible
securities of the Company are then convertible, plus (iii) the total number of
shares of Common Stock of the Company issuable upon the exercise of all
outstanding options, warrants or other rights to acquire Common Stock, Preferred
Stock or other convertible securities of the Company (assuming the conversion to
Common Stock of such issuable shares of Preferred Stock or other convertible
securities).
2.2 New Securities. "New Securities" shall mean any Common Stock or
--------------
Preferred Stock of the Company, whether now authorized or not, and rights,
options or warrants to purchase such Common Stock or Preferred Stock, and
securities of any type whatsoever that are, or may become, convertible or
exchangeable into such Common Stock or Preferred Stock; provided, however, that
-------- -------
the term "New Securities" does not include:
---- --- -------
(i) any shares of the Company's Common Stock (and/or options,
warrants or rights therefor) issued to employees, officers, directors,
contractors, advisors or consultants of the Company pursuant to incentive
agreements or plans approved by the Board of Directors of the Company;
(ii) any shares of Series C Stock issued under the Series C
Agreement as such agreement may be amended;
(iii) any securities issuable upon conversion of or with respect
to any then outstanding shares of Series A Stock, Series A-II Preferred Stock,
Series A-III Preferred Stock, Series B Stock or Series C Stock, or Series A-I
Stock, Series B-I Stock or Series C-I Stock of the Company or Common Stock or
other securities issuable upon conversion thereof;
(iv) any securities issuable upon exercise of any options,
warrants or rights to purchase any securities of the Company outstanding on the
date of this Agreement ("Warrant Securities") and any securities issuable upon
the conversion of any Warrant Securities;
9.
(v) shares of the Company's Common Stock or Preferred Stock
issued in connection with any stock split or stock dividend;
(vi) securities offered by the Company to the public pursuant
to a registration statement filed under the 1933 Act; or
(vii) any shares of the Company's capital stock (and/or options
or warrants therefor) issued or issuable to parties providing the Company with
equipment leases, real property leases, loans, credit lines, guaranties of
indebtedness, cash price reductions or similar financing; or
(viii) securities issued pursuant to the acquisition of another
corporation or entity by the Company by consolidation, merger, purchase of all
or substantially all of the assets, or other reorganization in which the Company
acquires, in a single transaction or series of related transactions, all or
substantially all of the assets of such other corporation or entity or fifty
percent (50%) or more of the voting power of such other corporation or entity or
fifty percent (50%) or more of the equity ownership of such other entity.
2.3 Procedures. In the event that the Company proposes to undertake
----------
an issuance of New Securities, it shall give to each Rights Holder written
notice of its intention to issue New Securities (the "Notice"), describing the
type of New Securities and the price and the general terms upon which the
Company proposes to issue such New Securities. Each Rights Holder shall have ten
(10) days from the date of mailing of any such Notice to agree in writing to
purchase such Rights Holder's Pro Rata Share of such New Securities for the
price and upon the general terms specified in the Notice by giving written
notice to the Company and stating therein the quantity of New Securities to be
purchased (not to exceed such Rights Holder's Pro Rata Share). If any Rights
Holder fails to so agree in writing within such ten (10) day period to purchase
such Rights Holder's full Pro Rata Share of an offering of New Securities (a
"Nonpurchasing Holder"), then such Nonpurchasing Holder shall forfeit the right
hereunder to purchase that part of his Pro Rata Share of such New Securities
that he did not so agree to purchase.
2.4 Failure to Exercise. In the event that the Rights Holders fail to
-------------------
exercise in full their rights of first refusal as set forth in this Section 2
within such 10-day period, then the Company shall have 120 days thereafter to
sell the New Securities with respect to which the Rights Holders' rights of
first refusal hereunder were not exercised, at a price and upon general terms
not materially more favorable to the purchasers thereof than specified in the
Company's Notice to the Rights Holders. In the event that the Company has not
issued and sold the New Securities within such 120-day period, then the Company
shall not thereafter issue or sell any New Securities without again first
offering such New Securities to the Rights Holders pursuant to this Section 2.
2.5 Termination. This right of first refusal shall terminate (i)
-----------
immediately before the closing of the first underwritten sale of Common Stock of
the Company to the public pursuant to a registration statement filed with, and
declared effective by, the SEC under the 1933 Act, covering the offer and sale
of Common Stock to the public, or (ii) upon (a) the acquisition of all or
substantially all the assets of the Company or (b) an acquisition of the Company
by another corporation or entity by consolidation, merger or other
reorganization in which the holders of the Company's outstanding voting stock
immediately prior to such transaction own, immediately after such transaction,
securities representing less than fifty percent (50%) or more of the voting
power of the corporation or other entity surviving such transaction.
