(d) Any legend endorsed on an instrument pursuant to applicable state securities laws and the stop-transfer instructions with respect to such securities shall be removed upon receipt by the Company of an order of the appropriate blue sky authority authorizing such removal.
2.2 Demand Registration.
(a) Subject to the conditions of this Section 2.2, if, following an Initial Offering, the Company shall receive a written request from the Holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding Registrable Securities (the “Initiating Holders”) that the Company file a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the registration for all or any portion of the Registrable Securities if the anticipated aggregate offering price, net of underwriting discounts and commissions, would exceed $10,000,000, then the Company shall, within thirty (30) days of the receipt thereof, give written notice of such request to all Holders, and subject to the limitations of this Section 2.2, effect, as expeditiously as reasonably possible, the registration under the Securities Act of all Registrable Securities that the Holders request to be registered.
(b) If the Initiating Holders intend to distribute the Registrable Securities covered by their request by means of an underwriting, they shall so advise the Company as a part of their request made pursuant to this Section 2.2 or any request pursuant to Section 2.4 and the Company shall include such information in the written notice referred to in Section 2.2(a) or Section 2.4(a), as applicable. In such event, the right of any Holder to include its Registrable Securities in such registration shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting (unless otherwise mutually agreed by at least 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 underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting by at least a majority in interest of the Initiating Holders (which underwriter or underwriters shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.2 or Section 2.4, if the underwriter advises the Company that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of securities to be underwritten (including Registrable Securities) then the Company shall so advise all Holders of Registrable Securities which would otherwise be underwritten pursuant hereto, and the number of shares that may be included in the underwriting shall be allocated to the Holders of such Registrable Securities on a pro rata basis based on the number of Registrable Securities held by all such Holders (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 or withdrawn from such underwriting shall be withdrawn from the registration.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to effect a registration pursuant to this Section 2.2:
(i) prior to one hundred eighty (180) days following the effective date of the registration statement pertaining to the Initial Offering;
(ii) after the Company has effected two (2) registrations pursuant to this Section 2.2, and such registrations have been declared or ordered effective;
(iii) during the period commencing on the date of filing of, and ending on the date one hundred eighty (180) days following, the effective date of any registration statement filed by the Company with the SEC; provided that the Company makes reasonable good faith efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective;
(iv) if within thirty (30) days of receipt of a written request from Initiating Holders pursuant to Section 2.2(a), the Company gives notice to the Holders of the Company’s intention to make the Initial Offering within ninety (90) days, in which event the Company shall have the right to defer such filing for a period of not more than ninety (90) days after receipt of the request of the Initiating Holders;
(v) if the Company shall furnish to those Holders requesting a registration statement pursuant to this Section 2.2, a certificate signed by the Chairman of the Board of Directors 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 stockholders for such registration statement to be effected at such time, in which event the Company shall have the right to defer such filing for a period of not more than one hundred twenty (120) days after receipt of the request of the Initiating Holders; provided that such right to delay a request shall be exercised by the Company not more than once in any twelve (12) month period; and provided further that the Company shall not register any securities for the account of itself or any other stockholder during such one hundred twenty (120) day period (other than pursuant to a Special Registration Statement); or
(vi) if the Initiating Holders propose to dispose of shares of Registrable Securities that may be immediately registered on Form S-3 pursuant to a request made under Section 2.4 below.
2.3 Piggyback Registrations. The Company shall notify all Holders of Registrable Securities in writing at least fifteen (15) days prior to the filing of any registration statement under the Securities Act for purposes of 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 Special Registration Statements) and will afford each such Holder an opportunity to include in such registration statement all or part of such Registrable Securities held by such Holder. Each Holder desiring to include in any such registration statement all or any part of the Registrable Securities held by it shall, within fifteen (15) days after the above-described notice from the Company, so notify the Company in writing. Such notice shall state the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Securities by such Holder. 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 conditions set forth herein.
(a) Underwriting. If the registration statement under which the Company gives notice under this Section 2.3 is for an underwritten offering, the Company shall so advise the Holders of Registrable Securities. In such event, the right of any such Holder to be included in a registration pursuant to this Section 2.3 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 underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting by the Company (or by any other person entitled to select the underwriter or underwriters). Notwithstanding any other provision of the Agreement, if the underwriter reasonably determines in good faith that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten, the number of shares that may be included in the underwriting shall be allocated, first, to the Company; second, to the Series B Investors, the Series C Investors, the Series D Investors, the Series D-l Investors, the Series D-4
Investors (but with respect only to the shares of Series E Stock that they receive pursuant to the Exchange Agreement) and the Series E Investors on a pro rata basis based on the total number of Registrable Securities held by the Series B Investors, the Series C Investors, the Series D Investors, the Series D-l Investors, the Series D-4 Investors (with respect only to the shares of Series E Stock that they receive pursuant to the Exchange Agreement) and the Series E Investors; third, to the Series A Investors, Series D-2 Investors, Series D-3 Investors, Series D-4 Investors, the Series D-5 Investor, Xxxx Xxxxxxx (“Xxxxxxx”) and Xxxxxxxxx on a pro rata basis based on the total number of Registrable Securities held by the Series A Investors, the Series D-2 Investors, Series D-3 Investors, Series D-4 Investors, the Series D-5 Investor, Xxxxxxx and Xxxxxxxxx; fourth, to the Key Holders (other than Xxxxxxx and Xxxxxxxxx) on a pro rata basis based on the total number of Registrable Securities held by such Key Holders; fifth, to any other Holder on a pro rata basis based on the total number of Registrable Securities held by such other Holders; and sixth, to any stockholder of the Company (other than a Holder) on a pro rata basis; or, in such other proportions as shall mutually be agreed to by all such selling Holders. No such reduction shall (i) reduce the securities being offered by the Company for its own account to be included in the registration and underwriting, (ii) reduce the amount of securities of the Series B Investors, the Series C Investors, the Series D Investors, the Series D-l Investors, the Series D-4 Investors (with respect only to the shares of Series E Stock that they receive pursuant to the Exchange Agreement) and the Series E Investors included in the registration below twenty-five percent (25%) of the total amount of securities included in such registration, unless such offering is the Initial Offering and such registration does not include shares of any other selling stockholders, in which event any or all of the Registrable Securities of the Series B Investors, the Series C Investors, the Series D Investors, the Series D-l Investors, the Series D-4 Investors (with respect only to the shares of Series E Stock that they receive pursuant to the Exchange Agreement) and the Series E Investors may be excluded in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, or (iii) reduce the amount of securities of the Series A Investors, the Series D-2 Investors, the Series D-3 Investors, the Series D-4 Investors, the Series D-5 Investor, Xxxxxxx and Xxxxxxxxx included in the registration below five percent (5%) of the total amount of securities included in such registration, unless such offering is the Initial Offering and such registration does not include shares of any other selling stockholders (other than the Series B Investors, the Series C Investors, the Series D Investors, the Series D-l Investors, the Series D-4 Investors (with respect only to the shares of Series E Stock that they receive pursuant to the Exchange Agreement) and the Series E Investors), in which event any or all of the Registrable Securities of the Series A Investors, the Series D-2 Investors, the Series D-3 Investors, the Series D-4 Investors, the Series D-5 Investor, Xxxxxxx and Xxxxxxxxx may be excluded in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence. 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 venture capital fund, partnership, limited liability company or corporation, the affiliated venture capital funds (or predecessor or successor funds or entities under common investment management), partners, retired partners, stockholders, members and retired members of such Holder, or the estates and family members of any such partners, retired partners, members and retired members and any trusts for the benefit of any of the foregoing
person 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 shares carrying registration rights owned by all entities and individuals included in such “Holder,” as defined in this sentence.
(b) Right to Terminate Registration. The Company shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under this Section 2.3 prior to the effectiveness of such registration whether or not any Holder has elected to include securities in such registration. The Registration Expenses of such withdrawn registration shall be borne by the Company in accordance with Section 2.5 hereof.
2.4 Form S-3 Registration. In case the Company shall receive from any Holder or Holders of Registrable Securities a written request or requests that the Company effect a registration on Form S-3 (or any successor to Form S-3) or any similar short-form registration statement and any related qualification or compliance with respect to all or a part of the Registrable Securities owned by such Holder or Holders, the Company will:
(a) promptly give written notice of the proposed registration, and any related qualification or compliance, to all other Holders of Registrable Securities; and
(b) 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 fifteen (15) 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 2.4:
(vii) if Form S-3 is not available for such offering by the Holders;
(viii) if the Holders requesting registration on Form S-3 and those Holders requesting registration pursuant to Section 2.3 on such Form S-3 propose to sell Registrable Securities having an aggregate price to the public of less than $5,000,000;
(ix) if within thirty (30) days of receipt of a written request from any Holder or Holders pursuant to this Section 2.4(a), (b) and/or (d), the Company gives notice to such Holder or Holders of the Company’s intention to effect a registration of its securities within ninety (90) days, other than pursuant to a Special Registration Statement;
(x) if the Company shall furnish to Holders a certificate signed by the Chairman of the Board of Directors 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 stockholders 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 for a period of not more than ninety (90) days after receipt of the request of the Holder or Holders under this Section 2.4; provided that such right to delay a request shall be exercised by the
Company not more than once in any twelve (12) month period, and provided further that the Company shall not register any securities for the account of itself or any other stockholder during such ninety (90) day period (other than pursuant to a Special Registration Statement);
(xi) if the Company has, within the twelve (12) month period preceding the date of such request, already effected two (2) registrations on Form S-3 for the Holders pursuant to this Section 2.4(a) (b) and/or (c);
(xii) in any particular 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.
(c) 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 as soon as practicable after receipt of the request or requests of the Holders. Registrations effected pursuant to this Section 2.4(a) (b) and/or (c) shall not be counted as demands for registration or registrations effected pursuant to Section 2.2 or Section 2.4(d).
(d) Form S-3 Registration at Registrant’s Expense. In the event that the Company shall receive from DCG a written request or requests to register Common Stock then held by DCG on Form S-3 (or any successor to Form S-3) or any similar short-form registration statement and any related qualification or compliance with respect to all or a part of such Common Stock, the Company will, as soon as practicable thereafter, (A) promptly give written notice of the proposed registration, and any related qualification or compliance, to all Holders of Registrable Securities; and (B) effect such registration and any qualifications and compliances as may be required to permit or facilitate the sale and distribution of such Common Stock, provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to effect any such registration, qualification or compliance pursuant to this Section 2.4(d):
(i) if Form S-3 is not available for such offering by DCG;
(ii) if the Company shall furnish to DCG a certificate signed by the Chairman of the Board of Directors 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 stockholders 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 for a period of not more than ninety (90) days after receipt of the request of DCG under this Section 2.4(d), provided that such right to delay a request shall be exercised by the Company not more than once in any twelve (12) month period; or
(iii) in any particular 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.
All Registration Expenses and Selling Expenses incurred in connection with any registration, qualification or compliance pursuant to this Section 2.4(d) shall be borne by DCG, pro rata on the
basis of the number of shares so registered; provided, however, DCG shall not be responsible for the payment of Registration Expenses or Selling Expenses attributable to the registration of shares of any other selling stockholder(s) pursuant to this Section 2.4(d).
2.5 Expenses of Registration. Except as specifically provided herein, all Registration Expenses incurred in connection with any registration, qualification or compliance pursuant to Section 2.2, Section 2.3 or Section 2.4(a) (b) and/or (c) herein shall be borne by the Company. All Selling Expenses incurred in connection with any registrations hereunder, shall be borne by the holders of the securities so registered pro rata on the basis of the number of shares so registered. The Company shall not, however, be required to pay for expenses of any registration proceeding begun pursuant to Section 2.2 or 2.4 (a), (b) and/or (c) if the request of which has been subsequently withdrawn by the Holders of at least a majority of the Registrable Securities to be registered (in which case all participating Holders shall bear such expenses pro rata based upon the number of Registrable Securities that were to be included in the withdrawn registration), unless (a) the withdrawal is based upon material adverse information concerning the Company of which the Holders were not aware at the time of such request or (b) the Holders of at least a majority of the Registrable Securities then outstanding agree to forfeit their right to one (1) requested registration pursuant to Section 2.2, in which event such right shall be forfeited by all Holders. If the Holders are required to pay the Registration Expenses, such expenses shall be borne by the Holders requesting such registration in proportion to the number of shares for which registration was requested. If the Company is required to pay the Registration Expenses of a withdrawn offering pursuant to clause (a) above, then the Holders shall not forfeit their rights pursuant to Section 2.2 or Section 2.4(a), (b) and/or (c) to a demand registration.
2.6 Obligations of the Company. Whenever required to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities, the Company shall, as expeditiously as reasonably possible:
(a) Prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement with respect to such Registrable Securities, use commercially reasonable best efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective and keep such registration statement effective for up to one hundred twenty (120) days or, if earlier, until the Holder or Holders have completed the distribution related thereto. The Company shall not be required to file, cause to become effective or maintain the effectiveness of any registration statement that contemplates a distribution of securities on a delayed or continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act.
(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 Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement for the period set forth in paragraph (a) above.
(c) Furnish to the Holders such number of copies of a prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such other
documents as they may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of Registrable Securities owned by them.
(d) Use its commercially reasonable best efforts to register and qualify the securities covered by such registration statement under such other securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as shall be reasonably requested by the Holders, and do any and all other reasonable acts and things that may be necessary or desirable to enable the Holder to consummate the public sale or other disposition of the Registrable Securities; provided that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to qualify to do business or to file a general consent to service of process in any such states or jurisdictions.
(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 Securities 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. The Company will use its commercially reasonable best efforts to amend or supplement such prospectus in order to cause such prospectus not to include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit 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.
(g) Use its commercially reasonable best efforts to furnish, on the date that such Registrable Securities are delivered to the underwriters for sale, if such securities are being sold through underwriters, (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, addressed to the underwriters, if any, and (ii) a 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 addressed to the underwriters.
(h) Notify each Holder of Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement, and each underwriter, if any, after it shall receive notice or obtain knowledge thereof, of the issuance of any stop order by the Commission suspending the effectiveness of such registration statement or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for that purpose and promptly use all its commercially reasonable best efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or to obtain its withdrawal if such stop order should be issued.
(i) If the Company has delivered preliminary or final prospectuses to the Holders, and after having done so, the prospectus is amended to comply with the requirements of
the Securities Act, the Company shall promptly notify the Holders, and if requested, the Holders shall immediately cease making offers of Registrable Securities and return all prospectuses to the Company. The Company shall promptly provide the Holders with revised prospectuses and, following receipt of the revised prospectuses, the Holders shall be free to resume making offers of the Registrable Securities.
(j) Use commercially reasonable best efforts to cause all such Registrable Securities to be listed on or included in a national exchange or trading system and each securities exchange or quotation system on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed.
(k) Provide a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable Securities registered pursuant hereunder and a CUSIP number for all such Registrable Securities, in each case not later than the effective date of such registration
2.7 Termination of Registration Rights. All registration rights granted under this Section 2 shall terminate and be of no further force and effect five (5) years after the effective date of a registration statement filed in connection with the Initial Offering. In addition, a Holder’s registration rights shall expire if (i) all Registrable Securities held by and issuable to such Holder (and its affiliates, partners, former partners, members and former members and any other parties with whom such Holder must aggregate its sales under Rule 144) may be sold under Rule 144(k), (ii) such Holder holds one percent (1%) or less of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock and all Registrable Securities held by such Holder (and its affiliates, partners, former partners, members and former members and any other parties with whom such Holder must aggregate its sales under Rule 144) can be sold in any three (3) month period without registration in compliance with Rule 144, or (iii) the Company consummates a Sales Transaction, as that term is defined in the Company’s Tenth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as may be amended from time to time; provided, however, the registration rights granted to DCG pursuant to Section 2.4 (d) shall not terminate prior to the second (2nd) year anniversary of the effective date of a Qualified Public Offering.
2.8 Delay of Registration; Furnishing Information.
(a) 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 2.
(b) It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to take any action pursuant to Section 2.2, 2.3 or 2.4 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 effect the registration of their Registrable Securities.
(c) The Company shall have no obligation with respect to any registration requested pursuant to Section 2.2 or Section 2.3 if, due to the operation of subsection 2.2 (b), the number of shares or the anticipated aggregate offering price of the Registrable Securities to be
included in the registration does not equal or exceed the number of shares or the anticipated aggregate offering price required to originally trigger the Company’s obligation to initiate such registration as specified in Section 2.2 or Section 2.4, whichever is applicable.
2.9 Indemnification. In the event any Registrable Securities are included in a registration statement under Sections 2.2, 2.3 or 2.4:
(a) To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, the partners, members, officers and directors of each Holder, any underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act) for such Holder, legal counsel and accountants for each Holder and each person, if any, who controls such Holder or underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, against any losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (joint or several) to which they may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange 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”) by the Company: (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 Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any state securities law or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any state securities law in connection with the offering covered by such registration statement; and the Company will pay as incurred to each such Holder, partner, officer, director, underwriter, legal counsel, accountant or controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 2.9(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 or delayed, 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, member, officer, director, underwriter, legal counsel, accountant or controlling person of such Holder; provided further, however, that the foregoing indemnity agreement with respect to any preliminary prospectus shall not inure to the benefit of any Holder or underwriter or other aforementioned person, or any person controlling such Holder or underwriter, from whom the person asserting any such losses, claims, damages or liabilities purchased shares in the offering, if a copy of the most current prospectus was not sent or given by or on behalf of such Holder or underwriter or other aforementioned person to such person, if required by law to have been so delivered, at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of the shares to such person, and if the prospectus (as so amended or supplemented) would have cured the defect giving rise to such loss, claim, damage or liability.
(b) To the extent permitted by law, each Holder will, if Registrable Securities held by such Holder are included in the securities as to which such registration qualifications or
compliance is being effected, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, its officers and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, any underwriter, legal counsel or accountants for the Company 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, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (joint or several) to which the Company or any such director, officer, controlling person, underwriter, legal counsel and accountants for the Company or other such Holder, or partner, member, officer, director or controlling person of such other Holder may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange 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 under an instrument duly executed by such Holder and stated to be specifically for use in connection with such registration; and each such Holder will pay as incurred any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company or any such director, officer, controlling person, underwriter, legal counsel, accountant or other Holder, or partner, member, officer, director or controlling person of such other Holder in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if it is judicially determined that there was such a Violation; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 2.9(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; provided further, that in no event shall any indemnity under this Section 2.9 exceed the net proceeds from the offering received by such Holder.
(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 2.9 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 2.9, 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 differing 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 materially prejudicial to its ability to defend such action, shall relieve such indemnifying party of liability to the indemnified party under this Section 2.9 to the extent of such prejudice, 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 2.9.
(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 2.9 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to herein, the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying
such indemnified party thereunder, shall to the extent permitted by applicable law contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and of the indemnified party on the other in connection with the Violation(s) that resulted in such loss, claim, damage or liability, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be determined by a court of law by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission; provided, that in no event shall any contribution by a Holder hereunder exceed the net proceeds from the offering received by such Holder.
(e) The obligations of the Company and Holders under this Section 2.9 shall survive completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in a registration statement and the termination of this agreement. No Indemnifying Party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation, shall, except with the consent of each Indemnified Party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the provisions on indemnification and contribution contained in the underwriting agreement entered into in connection with the underwritten public offering are in conflict with the foregoing provisions, the provisions in the underwriting agreement shall control.
2.10 Assignment of Registration Rights. The rights to cause the Company to register Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 2 may be assigned by a Holder to a transferee or assignee of Registrable Securities which (a) is a subsidiary, parent, general partner, limited partner, retired partner, member or retired member (including in the case of venture capital funds, affiliated venture capital funds, predecessor and successor funds and entities under common investment management) of a Holder, (b) is a Holder’s family member or trust for the benefit of an individual Holder or such Holder’s family member, (c) is a partnership whose sole partner is an individual Holder or a member of such Holder’s family, (d) acquires at least one hundred thousand (100,000) shares of Registrable Securities (as adjusted for any stock dividends, combinations, splits, recapitalizations and the like) provided, however, that Shares held by affiliates shall be aggregated for the purposes of satisfaction of the aforementioned minimum share requirement; or (e) to a shareholder of GadgetSpace, Inc., as set forth on Exhibit M hereto, (f) to a stockholder of Simplexity, Inc., who is an “accredited investor” pursuant to Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act, as contemplated in the Asset Purchase Agreement provided, however, (i) the transferor shall, within ten (10) days after such transfer, furnish to the Company written notice of the name and address of such transferee or assignee and the securities with respect to which such registration rights are being assigned and (ii) such transferee shall agree to be subject to all restrictions set forth in this Agreement, (h) to a stockholder of Avesair, Inc., who is an “accredited investor” pursuant to Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act, as contemplated in the Series D-5 Asset Purchase Agreement provided, however, (i) the provisions of the D-5 Asset Purchase Agreement are fully satisfied prior to any assignment or transfer, (ii)
the transferor shall, within ten (10) days after such transfer, furnish to the Company written notice of the name and address of such transferee or assignee and the securities with respect to which such registration rights are being assigned and (iii) such transferee shall agree to be subject to all restrictions set forth in this Agreement.
2.11 Amendment of Registration Rights. Any provision of this Section 2 may be amended and the observance thereof may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively), only with the written consent of (i) the Company, (ii) the holders of more than sixty-six and two thirds percent (66-2/3%) of the then outstanding Registrable Securities held by the Holders, and (iii) with respect to Section 2.4(d) only, DCG; provided that any amendment or waiver that treats a Holder or Holders in a materially adverse manner that is different from any other Holders shall require the consent of the holders of at least a majority of the Registrable Securities held by such adversely affected Holder or Holders. Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this Section 2.11 shall be binding upon each Holder and the Company. By acceptance of any benefits under this Section 2, Holders of Registrable Securities hereby agree to be bound by the provisions hereunder.
2.12 Limitation on Subsequent Registration Rights. After the date of this Agreement, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the Holders of at least sixty six and two thirds percent (66 2/3%) of the Registrable Securities then outstanding, enter into any agreement with any holder or prospective holder of any securities of the Company that would grant such holder registration rights pari passu or senior to those granted to the Holders hereunder.
2.13 “Market Stand-Off” Agreement; Agreement to Furnish Information. Each Holder hereby agrees that such Holder shall not, without the prior written consent of the managing underwriter, (i) lend, offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock, or (ii) enter into any hedging, swap or similar transaction with the same economic effect as a sale (whether any such transaction described in clause (i) or (ii) above is to be settled by delivery of Common Stock or other securities, in cash or otherwise), any Common Stock (or other securities) of the Company held by such Holder (other than those included in the registration) for a period specified by the representative of the underwriters of Common Stock (or other securities) of the Company not to exceed one hundred eighty (180) days following the effective date of a registration statement of the Company filed under the Securities Act; provided that:
(i) such agreement shall apply only to the Company’s Initial Offering and any subsequent offering effective within one hundred eighty (180) days after the Company’s Initial Offering, provided, that all restrictions placed on such Holders pursuant to this Section 2.13(i) shall expire one hundred eighty (180) days after the Company’s Initial Offering; and
(ii) all officers and directors of the Company and holders of at least one percent (1 %) of the Company’s voting securities enter into similar agreements; and
(iii) such agreement shall provide that any discretionary waiver or termination of the restrictions of such agreement by the Company or representative of the underwriters shall apply to all persons subject to such agreements pro rata based on the number of voting securities subject to such agreements.
Each Holder agrees to execute and deliver such other agreements as may be reasonably requested by the Company or the underwriter which are consistent with the foregoing or which are necessary to give further effect thereto. In addition, if requested by the Company or the representative of the underwriters of Common Stock (or other securities) of the Company, each Holder shall provide, within ten (10) days of such request, such information as may be required by the Company or such representative in connection with the completion of any public offering of the Company’s securities pursuant to a registration statement filed under the Securities Act. The obligations described in this Section 2.13 shall not apply to a registration relating solely to employee benefit plans on Form S-l or Form S-8 or similar forms that may be promulgated in the future, or a registration relating solely to a Commission Rule 145 transaction on Form S-4 or similar forms that may be promulgated in the future. The Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the shares of Common Stock (or other securities) subject to the foregoing restriction until the end of said one hundred eighty (180) day period, and shall use best efforts to ensure that all shares of its capital stock, including future issuances of stock, shall be subject to a market standoff provision at least as restrictive as this Section 2.13. Each Holder agrees that any transferee of any shares of Registrable Securities shall be bound by this Section 2.13. The underwriters in connection with the Company’s Initial Offering are intended third-party beneficiaries of this Section 2.13 and shall have the right, power and authority to give further effect thereto.
Each Holder agrees that a legend reading substantially as follows shall be placed on all certificates representing all Registrable Securities of each Holder (and the shares or securities of every other person subject to the restriction contained in this Section 2.13):
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO A LOCK-UP PERIOD OF UP TO 180 DAYS AFTER THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THE ISSUER’S REGISTRATION STATEMENT FILED UNDER THE ACT, AS AMENDED, AS SET FORTH IN AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND THE ORIGINAL HOLDER OF THESE SECURITIES, A COPY OF WHICH MAY BE OBTAINED AT THE ISSUER’S PRINCIPAL OFFICE. SUCH LOCK-UP PERIOD IS BINDING ON TRANSFEREES OF THESE SHARES.
2.14 Rule 144 Reporting. With a view to making available to the Holders the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the SEC which may permit the sale of the Registrable Securities
to the public without registration, the Company agrees to use commercially reasonable best efforts to:
(a) Make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144 of the Securities Act or any similar or analogous rule promulgated under the Securities Act, at all times after the effective date of the Initial Offering;
(b) File with the SEC, in a timely manner, all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Exchange Act; and
(c) So long as a Holder owns any Registrable Securities, furnish to such Holder upon request: a written statement by the Company as to its compliance with the reporting requirements of said Rule 144 of the Securities Act, and of the Exchange Act (at any time after it has become subject to such reporting requirements); a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company; and such other reports and documents as a Holder may reasonably request in availing itself of any rule or regulation of the SEC allowing it to sell any such securities without registration.
