2. Information Rights.
So long as the Registration Statement is effective covering the resale of
Shares owned by Motorola, the Company will furnish to Motorola:
(a) upon the request of Motorola, as soon as practicable after
available (but in the case of the Company's Annual Report to Shareholders,
within 150 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company), one copy of
(i) its Annual Report to Shareholders (which Annual Report shall contain
financial statements audited in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards certified by a national firm of certified public accountants); (ii)
its Annual Report on Form 10-K; (iii) its quarterly reports on Form 10-Q (the
foregoing, in each case, excluding exhibits); (iv) its Proxy Statement; and (v)
its current reports on Form 8-K, if any;
(b) upon the request of Motorola, all exhibits excluded by the
parenthetical to subparagraph (a)(iii) of this Section 2, in the form generally
available to the public; and
(c) upon the reasonable request of Motorola, an adequate number of
copies of the prospectuses and supplements to supply to any other party
requiring such prospectuses.
3. Inspection. The Company shall permit Motorola, at Motorola's expense,
to visit and inspect the Company's properties, to examine its books of account
and records and to discuss the Company's affairs, finances, and accounts with
its officers, all at such reasonable times as may be requested by Motorola;
provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated pursuant to this
Section 3 to provide any information which it reasonably considers to be a trade
secret or confidential information. Subject to Section 8, the rights of
Motorola under this Section 3 may not be assigned as part of Motorola's sale of
any of the Registrable Securities or Convertible Securities except with the
consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
4. Right of First Refusal.
4.1 Right of First Refusal of New Securities. The Company hereby
grants to Motorola the right of first refusal to purchase up to its "Pro Rata
Share" (as defined below) of New Securities which the Company may, from time to
time, propose to sell and issue. Motorola may purchase said New Securities on
the same terms and at the same price at which the Company proposes to sell the
New Securities. The "Pro Rata Share" of Motorola, for purposes of this right of
first refusal, is the ratio of (i) the total number of shares of Registrable
Securities held by Motorola to (ii) the total number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding prior to the issuance of the New Securities
3
assuming full conversion of the Registrable Securities and exercise of all
outstanding convertible securities, rights, options and warrants to acquire
Common Stock of the Company (including any shares of Common Stock into which
outstanding Convertible Securities are convertible).
4.2 Notice. In the event the Company proposes to undertake an
issuance of New Securities, it shall give to Motorola written notice (the
"Notice") of its intention, describing the type of New Securities, the price,
the terms upon which the Company proposes to issue the same, the number of
shares which Motorola is entitled to purchase pursuant to Section 4.1, and a
statement that Motorola shall have 15 business days to respond to such Notice.
Motorola shall have 15 business days from the date of receipt of the Notice to
agree to purchase any or all of its Pro Rata Share of the New Securities for the
price and upon the terms specified in the Notice by giving written notice to the
Company and stating therein the quantity of New Securities to be purchased and
forwarding payment for such New Securities to the Company if immediate payment
is required by such terms.
4.3 Sale of New Securities. In the event Motorola fails to exercise
in full its right of first refusal within such 15-day period, the Company shall
have 60 days thereafter to sell or enter into an agreement (pursuant to which
the sale of New Securities covered thereby shall be closed, if at all, within 60
days after the date of such agreement) to sell the New Securities respecting
which Motorola's rights were not exercised, at a price and upon general terms no
more favorable to the purchaser thereof than specified in the Notice. In the
event the Company has not sold the New Securities within such 60 day period (or
sold and issued New Securities in accordance with the foregoing within 60 days
from the date of such agreement), the Company shall not thereafter issue or sell
any New Securities without first offering such securities to Motorola in the
manner provided above.
4.4 Additional Rights. In connection with any subsequent rounds of
private equity financing undertaken by the Company in connection with or related
to the iTrust Business after the date hereof, the Company shall secure for
Motorola the following right of first refusal to purchase from the holder of any
preferred securities of the Company sold in any such a subsequent financing
("Preferred Shares"). Such right shall provide that if such holder proposes to
sell any of its Preferred Shares (a "Selling Shareholder"), it shall notify
Motorola of the amount of Preferred Shares and the price at which it proposes to
sell such Preferred Shares. Motorola shall have thirty (15) days from receipt
of such notice to offer to purchase the Selling Shareholder's Preferred shares
in the amount and at the price set forth in the notice. If Motorola declines to
purchase such Preferred Shares, the Selling Shareholder shall have sixty (60)
days to consummate the proposed sale as specified in the notice. If the Selling
Shareholder has not consummated
4
such transaction within such sixty (60) day period, it shall not transfer its
Preferred Shares without giving Motorola another thirty (15) day opportunity to
purchase such Preferred Shares.
4.5 Termination of Right of First Refusal. The right of first
refusal and additional rights granted under this Section 4 shall expire upon the
first to occur of:
(a) The conversion of all shares of Series A Preferred Stock
held by Motorola into shares of Common Stock; or
(b) The merger or consolidation of the Company with or into
another entity other than Motorola, Inc. (or other form of corporate
reorganization in which outstanding shares of the Company are exchanged for
securities or other consideration issued, or caused to be issued, by the
acquiring corporation or its subsidiary (other than a mere reincorporation
transaction)) in which the holders of the capital stock immediately prior to
such merger or consolidation cease to own a majority of the voting stock.
4.6 Waiver of Right of First Refusal. The right of first refusal
granted under Section 4.1 may be waived with respect to any particular sale of
New Securities as to Motorola or transferees by the holders of at least 66% of
the Convertible Securities purchased by Motorola (or an equivalent number of
shares consisting of Registrable Securities issued upon conversion or exercise
of the Convertible Securities of the Company or a combination of such
Registrable Securities and such Convertible Securities), as adjusted for
recapitalizations, stock splits, stock dividends and the like.
5. Registration of the Shares; Compliance With The Securities Act.
5.1 Registration Procedures and Expenses. The Company is obligated
to do the following:
(a) From and after that date which is six months after the
Closing Date, as defined in the Purchase Agreement, Motorola may request in
writing that the Company prepare and file with the Commission one Registration
Statement on Form S-3 in order to register with the Commission the resale by
Motorola of the Registrable Securities through AMEX or the facilities of any
national securities exchange on which the Company's Common Stock is then traded,
or in privately-negotiated transactions. The Company shall use its reasonable
commercial efforts to cause such Registration Statement to be declared effective
as soon thereafter as reasonably possible, and the Company shall use reasonable
efforts to ensure the effectiveness of such Registration Statement for a period
of 12 months from the later of the exercise of the Warrant, as defined in the
Purchase Agreement, in full or the expiration of the Warrant; provided,
5
however, that the Company shall have no obligation to ensure the effectiveness
of such Registration Statement after such time as all of the capital stock of
the Company which Motorola purchases under the Purchase Agreement is immediately
resaleable under Rule 144 (as defined below) under the Securities Act.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be obligated to take any
action to effect any such Registration pursuant to this Section 5.1(a) during
the period starting with the date sixty (60) days prior to the Company's
estimated date of filing of, and ending on the date 180 days immediately
following the effective date of, an underwritten Registration pertaining to
securities of the Company (other than a registration of securities in a Rule 145
transaction or with respect to an employee benefit plan), provided that the
Company is actively employing all reasonable efforts in good faith to cause such
Registration to become effective. Notwithstanding any other provision to the
contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall be obligated to effect no more
than one Registration Statement under this Agreement.
(b) The Company shall prepare and file with the Commission (i)
such amendments and supplements to the Registration Statement and the prospectus
used in connection therewith, (ii) such SEC Reports and (iii) such other filings
required by the Commission, in each case as may be necessary to keep the
Registration Statement continuously effective and not misleading until the
earliest of (A) the fifth anniversary date of the Closing, (B) such date as all
of the Registrable Securities have been resold or (C) such time as all of the
Registrable Securities then held by Motorola can be sold within a given three-
month period pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, following the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, the
Company may, at any time, suspend the effectiveness of the Registration
Statement for up to no longer than 30 days, as appropriate (a "Suspension
Period"), by giving notice to Motorola, if the Company shall have determined
that the Company may be required to disclose any material corporate development.
The Company will use its best efforts to minimize the length of any Suspension
Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may not suspend the
effectiveness of the Registration Statement more than twice in any twelve (12)
month period. Motorola agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company
of a Suspension Period, Motorola will not sell any Registrable Securities
pursuant to the Registration Statement until (i) Motorola is advised in writing
by the Company that the use of the applicable prospectus may be resumed, (ii)
Motorola has received copies of any additional or supplemental or amended
prospectus, if applicable, and (iii) Motorola has received copies of any
additional or supplemental filings which are incorporated or deemed to be
incorporated by reference in such prospectus.
(c) In order to facilitate the public sale or other disposition
of all or any of the Registrable Securities by Motorola, the Company shall
furnish to Motorola
6
with respect to the Shares registered under the Registration Statement such
number of copies of prospectuses, prospectus supplements and preliminary
prospectuses as Motorola reasonably requests in conformity with the requirements
of the Securities Act.
(d) The Company shall file any documents required of the Company
for normal blue sky clearance in states specified in writing by Motorola;
provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to qualify to do
business or consent to service of process in any jurisdiction in which it is not
now so qualified or has not so consented.
(e) Other than fees and expenses, if any, of counsel or other
advisers to Motorola, which fees and expenses shall be borne by Motorola, the
Company shall bear all Registration Expenses.
(f) With a view to making available to Motorola the benefits of
Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act ("Rule 144") and any other rule or
regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit Motorola to sell Registrable
Securities to the public without registration or pursuant to registration, the
Company covenants and agrees to: (i) make and keep public information available,
as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144, until the earlier of (A)
the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date or (B) such date as all of the
Registrable Securities shall have been resold; (ii) file with the SEC in a
timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the
Exchange Act; and (iii) furnish to Motorola upon request, as long as Motorola
owns any Registrable Securities, (A) a written statement by the Company that it
has complied with the reporting requirements of Rule 144 and of the Securities
Act and Exchange Act, (B) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report
of the Company, and (C) such other information as may be reasonably requested in
order to avail Motorola of any rule or regulation of the SEC that permits the
selling of any such Registrable Securities without registration under the
Securities Act.
5.2 Transfer of Securities After Registration. Motorola agrees that
Motorola will not effect any disposition of the Registrable Securities that
would constitute a sale within the meaning of the Securities Act, except:
(a) pursuant to the Registration Statement, in which case
Motorola shall submit the certificates evidencing the Registrable Securities to
the Company's transfer agent, accompanied by a separate "Investor's Certificate"
to the effect that (1) the Registrable Securities have been sold in accordance
with the Registration Statement and (2) the requirement of delivering a current
prospectus has been satisfied; or
7
(b) in a transaction exempt from registration under the
Securities Act, in which case Motorola shall, prior to effecting such
disposition, submit to the Company an opinion of counsel in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Company to the effect that the proposed
transaction is in compliance with the Securities Act.
5.3 Indemnification. As used in this Section 5.3 the following terms
shall have the following respective meanings:
(a) "Selling Shareholder" shall mean the Holder of any Registrable
Securities under this Agreement and any transferee of Motorola who is entitled
to resell Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement and each
of their officers, directors and partners, legal counsel, and accountants and
each person controlling such Holder, or transferee thereof, within the meaning
of Section 15 of the Securities Act;
(b) "Registration Statement" shall include any prospectus, exhibit,
supplement, notification, amendment or other document included in or relating to
the Registration Statement referred to in Section 5.1; and
(c) "Untrue Statement" shall include any untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement, or any omission or alleged omission to state in the
Registration Statement a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances
under which they were made, not misleading.
The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Selling Shareholder
from and against any expenses, losses, claims, damages and liabilities (or
actions, proceedings, or settlements in respect thereof) to which such Selling
Shareholder may become subject (under the Securities Act or otherwise) insofar
as such, expenses, losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions,
proceedings or settlements in respect thereof) arise out of, or are based upon,
any Untrue Statement on or after the effective date of the Registration
Statement, or on or after the date of any prospectus or prospectus supplement or
the date of any sale by Motorola thereunder, or arise out of any violation by
the Company of the Securities Act or any rule or regulation thereunder
applicable to the Company in connection with any Registration Statement or arise
out of any failure by the Company to fulfill any undertaking included in the
Registration Statement and the Company will reimburse such Selling Shareholder
for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in investigating, defending
or preparing to defend or settling any such claim, loss, damage, liability or
expense; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable to such Selling
Shareholder in any such case to the extent that such loss, claim, damage or
liability arises out of, or is based upon, an Untrue Statement made in such
Registration Statement in reliance upon and in conformity with written
information
8
furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Selling Shareholder
specifically for use in preparation of the Registration Statement.
Motorola agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company (and each
person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the
Securities Act, each officer of the Company who signs the Registration Statement
and each director of the Company) from and against any losses, claims, damages
or liabilities to which the Company (or any such officer, director or
controlling person) may become subject (under the Securities Act or otherwise),
insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or
proceedings in respect thereof) arise out of any Untrue Statement contained in
the Registration Statement on or after the effective date thereof, or in any
prospectus supplement as of its issue date or date of any sale by Motorola
thereunder, if such Untrue Statement was made in reliance upon and in conformity
with written information furnished by or on behalf of Motorola and stated to be
specifically for use in preparation of the Registration Statement, and Motorola
will reimburse the Company (or such officer, director or controlling person), as
the case may be, for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in
investigating, defending or preparing to defend any such action, proceeding or
claim; provided that in no event shall any indemnity by Motorola under this
Section 5.3 exceed the gross proceeds received by Motorola from the sale of
Shares covered by such Registration Statement.
Promptly after receipt by any indemnified person of a notice of a claim or
the beginning of any action in respect of which indemnity is to be sought
against an indemnifying person pursuant to this Section 5.3, such indemnified
person shall notify the indemnifying person (provided that the failure to give
such notice shall not relieve the indemnity party of its obligations hereunder
to the extent such failure is not prejudicial) in writing of such claim or of
the commencement of such action, and, subject to the provisions hereinafter
stated, in case any such action shall be brought against an indemnified person
and such indemnifying person shall have been notified thereof, such indemnifying
person shall be entitled to participate therein, and, to the extent it shall
wish, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to
such indemnified person. After notice from the indemnifying person to such
indemnified person of its election to assume the defense thereof, such
indemnifying person shall not be liable to such indemnified person for any legal
expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified person in connection with the
defense thereof; provided further, that the indemnifying person shall not be
liable for any settlement entered into without the indemnifying party prior
written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided,
however, that if there exists or shall exist a conflict of interest that would
make it inappropriate, in the opinion of counsel to the indemnified person, for
the same counsel to represent both the indemnified person and such indemnifying
person or any affiliate or associate thereof, the indemnified person shall be
entitled to retain its own
9
counsel at the expense of such indemnifying person; provided, however, that no
indemnifying person shall be responsible for the fees and expenses of more than
one separate counsel for all indemnified parties. 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
that 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. Each indemnified party shall furnish
such information regarding itself or the claim in question as an indemnifying
party may reasonably request in writing and as shall be reasonably required in
connection with defense of such claim and litigation resulting therefrom.
If the indemnification provided for in this Section 5.3 is held by a court
of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect
to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense referred to therein, then the
indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party hereunder,
shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a
result of such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense 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
statements or omissions that resulted in such loss, liability, claim, damage or
expense as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative
fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be determined
by reference to, among other things, whether the Untrue Statement 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.
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.
5.4 Termination of Conditions and Obligations. The conditions
precedent imposed by Section 3 of the Purchase Agreement or Section 5 hereof
upon the transferability of the Shares shall cease and terminate as to any
particular number of the Shares when such Shares shall have been sold or
otherwise disposed of in accordance with the intended method of disposition set
forth in the Registration Statement covering such Shares or at such time as an
opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company shall have been rendered to the
effect that such conditions are not necessary in order to comply with the
Securities Act.
10
6. Information Furnished by Holder. It shall be a condition precedent of
the Company's obligations under this Agreement that each Holder of Registrable
Securities included in any Registration furnish to the Company such information
regarding such Holder and the distribution proposed by such Holder or Holders as
the Company may reasonably request. Motorola agrees to promptly notify the
Company of any changes in the information set forth in the Registration
Statement regarding Motorola's plan of distribution set forth in such
Registration Statement.
7. Limitations on Registration Rights Granted to Other Securities. From
and after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall not enter into any
agreement with any holder or prospective holder of any securities of the Company
providing for the granting to such holder of any information or registration
rights, except that, with the consent of the Holders of a majority of the
aggregate of the Convertible Securities and Registrable Securities then
outstanding, additional holders may be added as parties to this Agreement with
regard to any or all securities of the Company held by them. Any such
additional parties shall execute a counterpart of this Agreement, and upon
execution by such additional parties and by the Company, shall be considered an
Investor for all purposes of this Agreement. The additional parties and the
additional Registrable Securities shall be identified in an amendment to Exhibit
-------
A hereto.
-
8. Transfer of Rights. The rights to information under Sections 2 and 3,
the right of first refusal under Section 4 and the right to cause the Company to
Register securities granted by the Company to Motorola under this Agreement may
be assigned by any Holder to a transferee or assignee of any Convertible
Securities or Registrable Securities not sold to the public; provided, however,
that (i) the shares of Convertible Securities or Registrable Securities acquired
by said transferee must constitute at least 25% of Holder's aggregate of
Convertible Securities and Registrable Securities immediately prior to the
transfer and (ii) the Company must receive written notice prior to the time of
said transfer, stating the name and address of said transferee or assignee and
identifying the securities with respect to which such rights are being assigned.
In addition, the rights to information under Sections 2 and 3 and the right of
first refusal may not be transferred or assigned to a person deemed by the Board
of Directors of the Company, in its reasonable judgment, to be a competitor of
the Company's business. Notwithstanding the limitation set forth above
respecting the minimum number of shares which must be transferred, any Holder
which is a partnership or corporation may transfer such Holder's Registration
rights to such Holder's constituent partners, or subsidiaries or affiliates, as
the case may be, without restriction as to the number or percentage of shares
acquired by any such constituent partner, subsidiary or affiliate.
11
9. Miscellaneous.
9.1 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and
construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware excluding those
laws that direct the application of the laws of another jurisdiction.
9.2 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which
together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
9.3 Headings. The headings of the Sections of this Agreement are for
convenience and shall not by themselves determine the interpretation of this

prepaid, addressed (i) if to the Company, as set forth below the Company's name

---------
Company or such Investor may designate by 10 days' advance written notice to the
other parties hereto.
9.5 Amendment of Agreement. Any provision of this Agreement may be
amended only by a written instrument signed by the Company and by persons

exceptions specifically set forth in this Agreement, the terms and conditions of
this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the respective
executors, administrators, heirs, successor, and assigns of the parties.
12
9.8 Delays or Omissions. No delay or omission to exercise any right,
power or remedy accruing to any Holder, upon any breach or default of the
Company under this Agreement shall impair any such right, power or remedy of
such Holder nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of any such breach or
default, or an acquiescence therein, or of or in any similar breach or default
thereafter occurring; nor shall any waiver of any single breach or default be
deemed a waiver of any other breach or default therefore or thereafter
occurring. Any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind or character on
the part of any Holder of any breach or default under this Agreement or any
waiver on the part of any Holder of any provisions or conditions of this
Agreement must be made in writing and shall be effective only to the extent

Agreement or by law or otherwise afforded to any Holder, shall be cumulative and
not alternative.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Information and
Registration Rights Agreement as of the day and year first above written.
