hereby confirms, that the Series C Preferred Stock to be purchased by such

3.3 Reliance Upon Investors' Representations. Each Investor
understands that the Series C Preferred Stock is not, and any Common Stock
acquired on conversion thereof at the time of issuance may not be, registered
under the Securities Act on the ground that the sale provided for in this
Agreement and the issuance of securities hereunder is exempt from registration
under the Securities Act pursuant to section 4(2) thereof, and that the
Company's reliance on such exemption is predicated on the Investors'
representations set forth herein. Each Investor realizes that the basis for
the exemption may not be present if, notwithstanding such representations, the
Investor has in mind merely acquiring shares of the Stock for a fixed or
determinable period in the future, or for a market rise, or for sale if the
market does not rise. No Investor has any such intention.
3.4 Receipt of Information. Each Investor represents that it has
had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Company

possessed such information or could acquire it without unreasonable effort or
expense) necessary to verify the accuracy of any information furnished to it or
to which it had access. The foregoing, however, does not limit or modify the
representations and warranties of the Company in Section 2 of this Agreement or
the right of the Investors to rely thereon.
3.5 Investment Experience. Each Investor represents that it is
experienced in evaluating and investing in securities of companies in the
development stage and acknowledges that it is able to fend for itself, can bear
the economic risk of its investment, and has such knowledge and experience in

risks of the investment in the Series C Preferred Stock. If other than an
individual, Investor also represents it has not been organized for the purpose
of acquiring the Series C Preferred Stock.

not exceed 10% of the Investor's net worth or, in the case of an individual,
joint net worth with that person's spouse.

Securities may not be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of without
registration under the Securities Act or an exemption therefrom, and that in
the absence of an effective registration statement covering the Securities or
an available exemption from registration under the Securities Act, the
Securities must be held indefinitely. In particular, each Investor is aware
that the Securities may not be sold pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the
Securities Act unless all of the conditions of that Rule are met. Among the
conditions for use of Rule 144 is the availability of current information to
the public about the Company. Such information is not now available and the

(c) A consolidation or merger of this corporation
with or into any other corporation or corporations in which fifty percent (50%)
or more of the voting power of the corporation held by the shareholders of the
corporation immediately prior to the merger or consolidation is transferred
(excluding reincorporations of the corporation the sole purpose of which is to

or substantially all of the assets of this corporation or the effectuation by
the corporation of a transaction or series of related transactions in which
more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting power of the corporation is
transferred, shall be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up
within the meaning of this Section 2.
3. Redemption.
(a) At any time after December 31, 1998, but

to each holder of record (at the close of business on the business day next
preceding the day on which notice is given) of the Series A Preferred Stock,
Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock, Series A-1 Preferred Stock,
Series B-1 Preferred Stock and Series C-1 Preferred Stock at the address last
shown on the records of this corporation for such holder, notifying such holder

redeemed from such holder (which shall be all of the shares of Series A
Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock, Series A-1
Preferred Stock, Series B-1 Preferred Stock and Series C-1 Preferred Stock held
by such holder), the Redemption Date, the Redemption Prices of each of the
respective series to be redeemed from such holder, the place at which payment

in the manner and at the place designated, his, her or its certificate or
certificates representing all of the shares of the Series A Preferred Stock,
Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock, Series A-1 Preferred Stock,
Series B-1 Preferred Stock and Series C-1 Preferred Stock held by such holder

Series A-1 Preferred Stock, Series B-1 Preferred Stock and Series C-1 Preferred
Stock shall surrender to this corporation the certificate or certificates

Series C Preferred Stock, Series A-1 Preferred Stock, Series B-1 Preferred
Stock and Series C-1 Preferred Stock as holders of Series A Preferred Stock,
Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock, Series A-1 Preferred Stock,
Series B-1 Preferred Stock and Series C-1 Preferred Stock, respectively (except
the right to receive the respective Redemption Prices without interest upon

such shares, and such shares shall not thereafter be transferred on the books
of this corporation or be deemed to be outstanding for any purpose whatsoever.
If the funds of the corporation legally available for redemption of shares of
Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock,
5.
47
Series A-1 Preferred Stock, Series B-1 Preferred Stock and Series C-1 Preferred
Stock on the Redemption Date are insufficient to redeem the total number of
shares of Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series C
Preferred Stock, Series A-1 Preferred Stock, Series B-1 Preferred Stock and
Series C-1 Preferred Stock on such date, those funds which are legally
available will be used to redeem the maximum possible number of such shares
ratably among the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred
Stock, Series C Preferred Stock, Series A-1 Preferred Stock, Series B-1
Preferred Stock and Series C-1 Preferred Stock in proportion to the Redemption
Prices of the respective series, and ratably among the holders of each series

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the shares of Series A
Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock, Series A-1
Preferred Stock, Series B-1 Preferred Stock and Series C-1 Preferred Stock not
redeemed shall remain outstanding and entitled to all the rights and
preferences provided herein. At any time thereafter when additional funds of
the corporation are legally available for the redemption of shares of Series A
Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock, Series A-1
Preferred Stock, Series B-1 Preferred Stock and Series C-1 Preferred Stock,
such funds will immediately be used to redeem the balance of the shares which
the corporation has become obliged to redeem on the Redemption Date but which
it has not redeemed.
(d) The shares of Series J Preferred Stock and
Series Z Preferred Stock are not redeemable.
4. Conversion. The holders of the Series A Preferred
Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock, Series J Preferred
Stock, Series Z Preferred Stock, Series A-1 Preferred Stock, Series B-1

(a) Right to Convert. Each share of Series A
Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock, Series J
Preferred Stock, Series Z Preferred Stock, Series A-1 Preferred Stock, Series

B-1 Preferred Stock and Series C-1 Preferred Stock, on or prior to the fifth
day prior to the Redemption Date, if any, as may have been fixed in the
Redemption Notice, at the office of this corporation or any transfer agent for
such stock, into such number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common
Stock as is determined by dividing (i) the Original Series A Issue Price for
each share of Series A Preferred Stock, (ii) the Original Series B Issue Price
for each share of Series B Preferred Stock, (iii) the Original Series C Issue
Price for each share of Series C Preferred Stock, (iv) the Original Series J

Z Issue Price for each share of Series Z Preferred Stock, (vi) the Original
Series A-1 Issue Price for each share of Series A-1 Preferred Stock, (vii) the
Original Series B-1 Issue Price for each share of Series B-1 Preferred Stock
and (viii) the Original Series C-1 Issue Price for each share of Series C-1
Preferred Stock in each case by the Conversion Price at the time in effect for
such share. The initial Conversion Price per share for shares of Series A
Preferred Stock shall be the Original Series A Issue Price, for
6.
48
shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall be the Original Series B Issue Price,
for shares of Series C Preferred Stock shall be the Original Series C Issue
Price, for shares of Series J Preferred Stock shall be the Original Series J
Issue Price, for shares of Series Z Preferred Stock shall be the Original
Series Z Issue Price, for shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock shall be the
Original Series A-1 Issue Price, for shares of Series B-1 Preferred Stock shall
be the Original Series B-1 Issue Price and for shares of Series C-1 Preferred
Stock shall be the Original Series C-1 Issue Price; provided, however, that the
Conversion Price for the Series A Preferred Stock, the Series B Preferred
Stock, Series C Preferred Stock and the Series Z Preferred Stock shall each be
subject to adjustment as set forth in subsections 4(d) and 4(e) of this
Division B of Article III and the Conversion Price for the Series J Preferred
Stock, the Series A-1 Preferred Stock, the Series B-1 Preferred Stock and the
Series C-1 Preferred Stock shall be subject to adjustment as set forth in
subsection 4(e) of this Division B of Article III.
(b) Automatic Conversion. Each share of Series A
Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock, Series J
Preferred Stock, Series Z Preferred Stock, Series A-1 Preferred Stock, Series
B-1 Preferred Stock and Series C-1 Preferred Stock shall automatically be
converted into shares of Common Stock at the Conversion Price at the time in
effect for such series immediately upon the earlier of (i) the corporation's
sale of its Common Stock in a firm commitment underwritten public offering
pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1 under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, the public offering price of which (exclusive of underwriting
discounts, commissions and expenses) is not less than $4.00 per share (adjusted
to reflect subsequent stock dividends, stock splits or recapitalizations) and
$12,000,000 in the aggregate or (ii) the date specified by written consent or
agreement of the holders of at least seventy percent (70%) of the then
outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock,
Series C Preferred Stock, Series J Preferred Stock, Series Z Preferred Stock,
Series A-1 Preferred Stock, Series B-1 Preferred Stock and Series C-1 Preferred
Stock voting together as a single class.
(c) Mechanics of Conversion. Before any holder
of Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred
Stock, Series J Preferred Stock, Series Z Preferred Stock, Series A-1 Preferred
Stock, Series B-1 Preferred Stock or Series C-1 Preferred Stock shall be
entitled to convert the same into shares of Common Stock, he, she or it shall
surrender the certificate or certificates therefor, duly endorsed, at the
office of this corporation or of any transfer agent for such stock and shall
give written notice to this corporation at its principal corporate office of
the election to convert the same and shall state therein the name or names in
which the certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock are to be
issued. This corporation shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, issue and
deliver at such office to each such holder, or to the nominee or nominees of
each such holder, (i) a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of
Common Stock to which each such holder shall be entitled as aforesaid and (ii)
a cash payment of all accrued but unpaid dividends on the converted shares as
of the date of conversion. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made
immediately prior to the close of business on the date of such surrender of the
shares of Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series C
Preferred Stock, Series J Preferred Stock, Series Z Preferred Stock, Series A-1
Preferred Stock, Series B-1 Preferred Stock or Series C-1 Preferred Stock to be
converted, and the
7.
49
person or persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon
such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or
holders of such shares of Common Stock as of such date. If the conversion is
in connection with an underwritten offering of securities registered pursuant
to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the conversion may, at the option of
any holder tendering Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series
C Preferred Stock, Series J Preferred Stock, Series Z Preferred Stock, Series
A-1 Preferred Stock, Series B-1 Preferred Stock or Series C-1 Preferred Stock
for conversion, be conditioned upon the closing with the underwriters of the
sale of securities pursuant to such offering, in which event the person(s)
entitled to receive the Common Stock upon conversion of the Series A Preferred
Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock, Series J Preferred
Stock, Series Z Preferred Stock, Series A-1 Preferred Stock, Series B-1
Preferred Stock and/or Series C-1 Preferred Stock shall not be deemed to have
converted such Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series C
Preferred Stock, Series J Preferred Stock, Series Z Preferred Stock, Series A-1
Preferred Stock, Series B-1 Preferred Stock or Series C-1 Preferred Stock until
immediately prior to the closing of such sale of securities.
(d) Conversion Price Adjustments of Series A,
Series B, Series C and Series Z Preferred Stock for Certain Dilutive Issuances.
The Conversion Price of the Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock,
Series C Preferred Stock and Series Z Preferred Stock shall be subject to
adjustment from time to time as follows:
(i)(A) If the corporation shall issue,
after the date upon which any shares of Series C Preferred Stock were first
issued (the "Purchase Date"), any Additional Stock (as defined below) without
consideration or for a consideration per share less than the Conversion Price
for such series in effect immediately prior to the issuance of such Additional
Stock, the Conversion Price for such series in effect immediately prior to each
such issuance shall forthwith (except as otherwise provided in this clause (i))
be adjusted to a price determined by multiplying such Conversion Price by a
fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding immediately prior to such issuance (including, without limitation,
the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the
Preferred Stock) plus the number of shares of Common Stock that the aggregate
consideration received by the corporation for such issuance would purchase at
such Conversion Price, and the denominator of which shall be the number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issuance
(including, without limitation, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable
upon the conversion of the Preferred Stock) plus the number of shares of such
Additional Stock.
(B) No adjustment of the Conversion
Price for the Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series C
Preferred Stock or Series Z Preferred Stock shall be made in an amount less
than one cent per share, provided that any adjustments which are not required
to be made by reason of this sentence shall be carried forward and shall be
either taken into account in any subsequent adjustment made prior to three (3)
years from the date of the event giving rise to the adjustment being carried
forward, or shall be made at the end of three (3) years from the date of the
event giving rise to the adjustment being carried forward. Except to the
limited extent provided for in subsections 4(d)(i)(E)(3)
8.
50
and 4(d)(i)(E)(4) of this Division B of Article III, no adjustment of such
Conversion Price pursuant to this subsection 4(d)(i) shall have the effect of
increasing the Conversion Price above the Conversion Price in effect
immediately prior to such adjustment.
(C) In the case of the issuance of
Common Stock for cash, the consideration shall be deemed to be the amount of
cash paid therefor before deducting any reasonable discounts, commissions or
other expenses allowed, paid or incurred by this corporation for any
underwriting or otherwise in connection with the issuance and sale thereof.
(D) In the case of the issuance of the
Common Stock for a consideration in whole or in part other than cash, the
consideration other than cash shall be deemed to be the fair value thereof as
determined by the Board of Directors irrespective of any accounting treatment.
(E) In the case of the issuance (whether
before, on or after the applicable Purchase Date) of options or warrants to
purchase or rights to subscribe for Common Stock, securities by their terms
convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock or options or warrants to
purchase or rights to subscribe for such convertible or exchangeable
securities, the following provisions shall apply for all purposes of this
subsection 4(d)(i) and subsection 4(d)(ii) of this Division B of Article III:
(1) The aggregate maximum number of
shares of Common Stock deliverable upon exercise (assuming the
satisfaction of any conditions to exercisability, including
without limitation, the passage of time, but without taking
into account potential antidilution adjustments) of such
options or warrants to purchase or rights to subscribe for
Common Stock shall be deemed to have been issued at the time
such options, warrants or rights were issued and for a
consideration equal to the consideration (determined in the
manner provided in subsections 4(d)(i)(C) and (d)(i)(D) of
this Division B of Article III), if any, received by the
corporation upon the issuance of such options, warrants or
rights plus the minimum exercise price provided in such
options, warrants or rights (without taking into account
potential antidilution adjustments) for the Common Stock
covered thereby.
(2) The aggregate maximum number of
shares of Common Stock deliverable upon conversion of or in
exchange (assuming the satisfaction of any conditions to
convertibility or exchangeability, including, without
limitation, the passage of time, but without taking into
account potential antidilution adjustments) for any such
convertible or exchangeable securities or upon the exercise of
options or warrants to purchase or rights to subscribe for
such convertible or exchangeable securities and subsequent
conversion or exchange thereof shall be deemed to have been
issued at the time such securities were issued or such
options, warrants or rights were issued and for a
consideration equal to the consideration, if any, received by
the corporation for any such securities and related options,
warrants or rights
9.
51
(excluding any cash received on account of accrued interest or
accrued dividends), plus the minimum additional consideration,
if any, to be received by the corporation (without taking into
account potential antidilution adjustments) upon the conversion
or exchange of such securities or the exercise of any related
options, warrants or rights (the consideration in each case to
be determined in the manner provided in subsections 4(d)(i)(C)
and (d)(i)(D) of this Division B of Article III).
(3) In the event of any change in
the number of shares of Common Stock deliverable or in the
consideration payable to this corporation upon exercise of
such options, warrants or rights or upon conversion of or in
exchange for such convertible or exchangeable securities,
including, but not limited to, a change resulting from the
antidilution provisions thereof, the Conversion Price of the
Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series C
Preferred Stock or Series Z Preferred Stock, to the extent in
any way affected by or computed using such options, warrants,
rights or securities, shall be recomputed to reflect such
change, but no further adjustment shall be made for the actual
issuance of Common Stock or any payment of such consideration
upon the exercise of any such options, warrants or rights or
the conversion or exchange of such securities.
(4) Upon the expiration of any such
options, warrants or rights, the termination of any such
rights to convert or exchange or the expiration of any
options, warrants or rights related to such convertible or
exchangeable securities, the Conversion Price of the Series A
Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred
Stock or Series Z Preferred Stock, to the extent in any way
affected by or computed using such options, warrants, rights
or securities or options, warrants or rights related to such
securities, shall be recomputed to reflect the issuance of
only the number of shares of Common Stock (and convertible or
exchangeable securities which remain in effect) actually
issued upon the exercise of such options, warrants or rights,
upon the conversion or exchange of such securities or upon the
exercise of the options, warrants or rights related to such
securities.
(5) The number of shares of Common
Stock deemed issued and the consideration deemed paid therefor
pursuant to subsections 4(d)(i)(E)(1) and (2) of this Division
B of Article III shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect
any change, termination or expiration of the type described in
either subsection 4(d)(i)(E)(3) or (4) of this Division B of
Article III.
(ii) "Additional Stock" shall mean any
shares of Common Stock issued (or deemed to have been issued
pursuant to subsection 4(d)(i)(E) of this Division B of Article
III) by this corporation after the Purchase Date other than:
(A) shares of Common Stock issued upon
conversion of the Preferred Stock; or
10.
52
(B) up to 4,892,774 shares of Common
Stock issuable or issued to employees, consultants or
directors of this corporation pursuant to stock option plans
or arrangements approved by the Board of Directors of this
corporation (which, as of the Purchase Date, consisted of
1,472,500 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding,
50,000 shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance upon
exercise of options outstanding and 3,370,274 shares of Common
Stock reserved for issuance upon exercise of options or grant
of shares to be issued after the Purchase Date); or
(C) Common Stock issued pursuant to a
transaction described in subsection 4(e)(i) of this Division B
of Article III; or
(D) shares of Common Stock or warrants
to purchase shares of Common Stock issued in connection with a
bona fide acquisition of another business, whether by merger,
consolidation or purchase of assets, or bona fide equipment
leasing transactions unanimously approved by the Board of
Directors of this corporation; or
(E) shares of Preferred Stock issued
upon exercise of any options or warrants to purchase the
corporation's Preferred Stock outstanding as of the Purchase
Date.
(e) Conversion Price Adjustments of Preferred
Stock for Certain Splits and Combinations. The Conversion Price of the Series
A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock, Series J
Preferred Stock, Series Z Preferred Stock, Series A-1 Preferred Stock, Series
B-1 Preferred Stock and Series C-1 Preferred Stock shall be subject to
adjustment from time to time as follows:
(i) In the event the corporation should at
any time or from time to time after the Purchase Date fix a record date for the
effectuation of a split or subdivision of the outstanding shares of Common
Stock or the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive a
dividend or other distribution payable in additional shares of Common Stock or
other securities or rights convertible into, or entitling the holder thereof to
receive directly or indirectly, additional shares of Common Stock (hereinafter
referred to as "Common Stock Equivalents") without payment of any consideration
by such holder for the additional shares of Common Stock or the Common Stock
Equivalents (including the additional shares of Common Stock issuable upon
conversion or exercise thereof), then, as of such record date (or the date of
such dividend distribution, split or subdivision if no record date is fixed),
the Conversion Price of the Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock,
Series C Preferred Stock, Series J Preferred Stock, Series Z Preferred Stock,
Series A-1 Preferred Stock, Series B-1 Preferred Stock and Series C-1 Preferred
Stock shall be appropriately decreased so that the number of shares of Common
Stock issuable on conversion of each share of such series shall be increased in
proportion to such increase in the aggregate of shares of Common Stock
outstanding and those issuable with respect to such Common Stock Equivalents
with the number of shares issuable with respect to Common Stock Equivalents
11.
53
determined from time to time in the manner provided for deemed issuances in
subsection 4(d)(i)(E) of this Division B of Article III.
(ii) If the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding at any time after the Purchase Date is decreased by a combination
of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, then, following the record date of
such combination, the Conversion Price for the Series A Preferred Stock, Series
B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock, Series J Preferred Stock, Series Z
Preferred Stock, Series A-1 Preferred Stock, Series B-1 Preferred Stock and
Series C-1 Preferred Stock shall be appropriately increased so that the number
of shares of Common Stock issuable on conversion of each share of such series
shall be decreased in proportion to such decrease in outstanding shares.
(f) Other Distributions. In the event this
corporation shall declare a distribution payable in securities of other
persons, evidences of indebtedness issued by this corporation or other persons,
assets (excluding cash dividends) or options or rights not referred to in
subsection 4(e)(i) of this Division B of Article III, then, in each such case
for the purpose of this subsection 4(f), the holders of the Series A Preferred
Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock, Series J Preferred
Stock, Series Z Preferred Stock, Series A-1 Preferred Stock, Series B-1
Preferred Stock and Series C-1 Preferred Stock shall be entitled to a
proportionate share of any such distribution as though they were the holders of
the number of shares of Common Stock of the corporation into which their shares
of Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred
Stock, Series J Preferred Stock, Series Z Preferred Stock, Series A-1 Preferred
Stock, Series B-1 Preferred Stock or Series C-1 Preferred Stock are convertible
as of the record date fixed for the determination of the holders of Common
Stock of the corporation entitled to receive such distribution.
(g) Recapitalizations. If at any time or from
time to time there shall be a recapitalization of the Common Stock (other than
a subdivision, combination or merger or sale of assets transaction provided for
elsewhere in this Section 4 or Section 2 of this Division B of Article III)
provision shall be made so that the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock,
Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock, Series J Preferred Stock,
Series Z Preferred Stock, Series A-1 Preferred Stock, Series B-1 Preferred
Stock and Series C-1 Preferred Stock shall thereafter be entitled to receive
upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock,
Series C Preferred Stock, Series J Preferred Stock, Series Z Preferred Stock,
Series A-1 Preferred Stock, Series B-1 Preferred Stock and Series C-1 Preferred
Stock, respectively, the number of shares of stock or other securities or
property of the Company or otherwise, to which a holder of Common Stock
deliverable upon conversion would have been entitled on such recapitalization.
In any such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of
the provisions of this Section 4 with respect to the rights of the holders of
the Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred
Stock, Series J Preferred Stock, Series Z Preferred Stock, Series A-1 Preferred
Stock, Series B-1 Preferred Stock and Series C-1 Preferred Stock after the
recapitalization to the end that the provisions of this Section 4 (including
adjustment of the Conversion Price then in effect and the number of shares
purchasable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred
Stock, Series C Preferred Stock, Series J Preferred Stock, Series Z Preferred
Stock, Series A-1 Preferred Stock, Series B-1 Preferred Stock and Series C-1
12.
54
Preferred Stock) shall be applicable after that event as nearly equivalent as
may be practicable.
(h) No Impairment. Unless approved in accordance
with Sections 6 and 7 of this Division B of Article III, this corporation will
not, by amendment of its Articles of Incorporation or through any
reorganization, recapitalization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger,
dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid
or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be
observed or performed hereunder by this corporation, but will at all times in
good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Section 4
and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in
order to protect the Conversion Rights of the holders of the Series A Preferred
Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock, Series J Preferred
Stock, Series Z Preferred Stock, Series A-1 Preferred Stock, Series B-1
Preferred Stock and Series C-1 Preferred Stock against impairment.
(i) No Fractional Shares and Certificate as to

(i) No fractional shares shall be issued
upon the conversion of any share or shares of the Series A Preferred Stock,
Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock, Series J Preferred Stock,
Series Z Preferred Stock, Series A-1 Preferred Stock, Series B-1 Preferred
Stock or Series C-1 Preferred Stock and the number of shares of Common Stock to
be issued shall be rounded to the nearest whole share. Whether or not
fractional shares are issuable upon such conversion shall be determined on the
basis of the total number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock, Series B
Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock, Series J Preferred Stock, Series Z
Preferred Stock, Series A-1 Preferred Stock, Series B-1 Preferred Stock and
Series C-1 Preferred Stock the holder is at the time converting into Common

conversion.
(ii) Upon the occurrence of each adjustment
or readjustment of the Conversion Price of Series A Preferred Stock, Series B
Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock, Series J Preferred Stock, Series Z
Preferred Stock, Series A-1 Preferred Stock, Series B-1 Preferred Stock or

Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock, Series J Preferred Stock, Series Z
Preferred Stock, Series A-1 Preferred Stock, Series B-1 Preferred Stock or
Series C-1 Preferred Stock, furnish or cause to be furnished to such holder a

securities for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled
to receive any dividend (other than a cash dividend) or other distribution, any
right to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any shares of stock of

Stock and Series C-1 Preferred Stock, such number of its shares of Common Stock

outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock,
Series C Preferred Stock, Series J Preferred Stock, Series Z Preferred Stock,
Series A-1 Preferred Stock, Series B-1 Preferred Stock and Series C-1 Preferred
Stock; and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of

Series C Preferred Stock, Series J Preferred Stock, Series Z Preferred Stock,
Series A-1 Preferred Stock, Series B-1 Preferred Stock and Series C-1 Preferred
Stock, in addition to such other remedies as shall be available to each holder

action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its
authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as
shall be sufficient for such purposes, including, without limitation, using its
best efforts to obtain the requisite shareholder approval of any necessary
amendment to these articles.

(m) Special Mandatory Conversion.
14.
56
(i) At any time following the Purchase
Date, if (a) the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock, Series B
Preferred Stock or Series C Preferred Stock are entitled to exercise the right
of first refusal (the "Right of First Refusal") set forth in Section 2.3 of the
Investors' Rights Agreement dated on or about August 17, 1995, by and between
this corporation and certain investors, as amended from time to time (the
"Rights Agreement"), with respect to an equity financing of the corporation in
an aggregate amount of at least $500,000 (the "Equity Financing"), (b) this
corporation has complied with its notice obligations, or such obligations have
been waived, under the Right of First Refusal with respect to such Equity
Financing and this corporation thereafter proceeds to consummate the Equity
Financing and (c) such holder, including such holder's affiliates
(collectively, a "Non-Participating Holder") does not by exercise of such
holder's Right of First Refusal acquire his, her or its Pro Rata Share (as
defined in Section 2.3 of the Rights Agreement) offered in such Equity
Financing (a "Mandatory Offering"), then all of such Non-Participating Holder's
shares of Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock and/or Series C
Preferred Stock shall automatically and without further action on the part of
such holder be converted effective upon, subject to, and immediately prior to,
the consummation of the Mandatory Offering (the "Mandatory Offering Date") into
an equivalent number of shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock, Series B-1
Preferred Stock and Series C-1 Preferred Stock, respectively ("Special
Mandatory Conversion"); provided, however, that no such conversion shall occur
in connection with a particular Equity Financing if, pursuant to the written
request of the Board of Directors and subject to the approval of the holders of
a majority of the outstanding Preferred Stock, such holder agrees in writing to
waive his, her or its Right of First Refusal with respect to such Equity
Financing. Upon conversion pursuant to this subsection 4(m)(i), the shares of
Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock and/or Series C Preferred
Stock so converted shall be cancelled and not subject to reissuance.
(ii) The holder of any shares of Series A
Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock and/or Series C Preferred Stock
converted pursuant to this subsection 4(m) shall deliver to this corporation
during regular business hours at the office of any transfer agent of the
corporation for the Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock and
Series C Preferred Stock or at such other place as may be designated by the
corporation, the certificate or certificates for the shares so converted, duly
endorsed or assigned in blank or to this corporation. As promptly as
practicable thereafter, this corporation shall issue and deliver to such
holder, at the place designated by such holder, a certificate or certificates
for the number of full shares of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock, Series B-1
Preferred Stock and/or Series C-1 Preferred Stock to be issued and such holder
shall be deemed to have become a shareholder of record of such Series A-1
Preferred Stock, Series B-1 Preferred Stock and/or Series C-1 Preferred Stock
on the Mandatory Offering Date unless the transfer books of this corporation
are closed on that date, in which event he, she or it shall be deemed to have
become a shareholder of record of such Series A-1 Preferred Stock, Series B-1
Preferred Stock and/or Series C-1 Preferred Stock on the next succeeding date
on which the transfer books are open.
(iii) In the event that any shares of
Series A-1 Preferred Stock, Series B-1 Preferred Stock and/or Series C-1
Preferred Stock are issued, concurrently with such issuance, this corporation
shall use its best efforts to take all such action as may be
15.
57
required, including amending its Articles of Incorporation, (a) to cancel all
authorized shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock, Series B-1 Preferred Stock and
Series C-1 Preferred Stock that remain unissued after such issuance, (b) to
create and reserve for issuance upon Special Mandatory Conversion of any then
outstanding Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock and Series C
Preferred Stock a new series of Preferred Stock equal in number to the number
of shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock, Series B-1 Preferred Stock and Series
C-1 Preferred Stock so cancelled and designated Series A-2 Preferred Stock,
Series B-2 Preferred Stock and Series C-2 Preferred Stock, with the
designations, powers, preferences and rights and the qualifications,
limitations and restrictions identical to those then applicable to the Series
A-1 Preferred Stock, Series B-1 Preferred Stock and Series C-1 Preferred Stock,
respectively, except that the Conversion Price for such shares of Series A-2
Preferred Stock, Series B-2 Preferred Stock and Series C-2 Preferred Stock once
initially issued shall be the Series A Conversion Price, the Series B
Conversion Price and the Series C Conversion Price, respectively, in effect
immediately prior to such issuance and (c) to amend the provisions of this
subsection 4(m) to provide that any subsequent Special Mandatory Conversion
will be into shares of Series A-2 Preferred Stock, Series B-2 Preferred Stock
and Series C-2 Preferred Stock rather than Series A-1 Preferred Stock, Series
B-1 Preferred Stock or Series C-1 Preferred Stock, respectively. This
corporation shall take the same actions with respect to the Series A-2
Preferred Stock, Series B-2 Preferred Stock and Series C-2 Preferred Stock and
each subsequently authorized series of Preferred Stock upon initial issuance of
shares of the last such series to be authorized. The right to receive any
dividend declared but unpaid at the time of conversion on any shares of
Preferred Stock converted pursuant to the provisions of this subsection 4(m)
shall accrue to the benefit of the new shares of Preferred Stock issued upon
conversion thereof.
(iv) A copy of the Rights Agreement is on
file at the offices of this corporation and will be made available upon request
and without charge.
5. Voting Rights. The holder of each share of Series A
Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock, Series J
Preferred Stock, Series Z Preferred Stock, Series A-1 Preferred Stock, Series
B-1 Preferred Stock and Series C-1 Preferred Stock shall have the right to one
vote for each share of Common Stock into which such Series A Preferred Stock,
Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock, Series J Preferred Stock,
Series Z Preferred Stock, Series A-1 Preferred Stock, Series B-1 Preferred
Stock or Series C-1 Preferred Stock could then be converted, and with respect
to such vote, such holder shall have full voting rights and powers equal to the
voting rights and powers of the holders of Common Stock, and shall be entitled,
notwithstanding any provision hereof, to notice of any shareholders' meeting in
accordance with the bylaws of this corporation, and shall be entitled to vote,
together with holders of Common Stock, with respect to any question upon which
holders of Common Stock have the right to vote. Fractional votes shall not,
however, be permitted and any fractional voting rights available on an
as-converted basis (after aggregating all shares into which shares of Series A
Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock, Series J
Preferred Stock, Series Z Preferred Stock, Series A-1 Preferred Stock, Series
B-1 Preferred Stock and Series C-1 Preferred Stock held by each holder could be
converted) shall be rounded to the nearest whole number (with one- half being

1.2 Requested Registration.
(a) Request for Registration. If the Company
shall receive from Initiating Holders at any time or times not earlier than the
earlier of (i) January 1, 1998 or (ii) six (6) months after the effective date
of the first registration statement filed by the Company covering an
underwritten offering of any of its securities to the general public, a written
request specifying that it is made pursuant to this Section 1.2 that the
Company effect a registration with respect to all or a part of the Registrable
Securities having a reasonably anticipated aggregate offering price, net of
underwriting discounts and commissions, that exceeds $12,000,000, the Company
will:
(i) promptly give written notice of the
proposed registration to all other Holders; and
(ii) as soon as practicable, use its
diligent best efforts to effect such registration (including, without
limitation, filing post-effective amendments, appropriate qualifications under
applicable blue sky or other state securities laws and appropriate compliance
with the Securities Act) as would permit or facilitate the sale and
distribution of all or such portion of such Registrable Securities as are
specified in such request, together with all or such portion of the Registrable
Securities of any Holder or Holders joining in such request as are specified in
a written request received by the Company within twenty (20) days after such
written notice from the Company is effective.
The Company shall not be obligated to effect, or to take any
action to effect, any such registration pursuant to this Section 1.2:
(A) In any particular jurisdiction
in which the Company would be required to execute a general consent to service
of process in effecting such registration, qualification or compliance, unless
the Company is already subject to service in such jurisdiction and except as
may be required by the Securities Act; or
(B) After the Company has effected
two such registrations pursuant to this Section 1.2(a) and such registrations
have been declared or ordered effective; or
(C) During the period starting with
the date of filing of and ending on a date one hundred eighty (180) days after
the effective date of a registration pursuant to Section 1.3 hereof; provided
that the Company is actively employing in good faith all reasonable efforts to
cause such registration statement to become effective; or
-4-
70
(D) 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 1.5 hereof.
(b) Subject to the foregoing Section 1.2(a)(ii)
(A) through (D), the Company shall file a registration statement covering the
Registrable Securities so requested to be registered as soon as practicable
after receipt of the request or requests of the Initiating Holders; provided,
however, that if (i) in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of
the Company, such registration would be seriously detrimental to the Company
and the Board of Directors of the Company concludes, as a result, that it is
essential to defer the filing of such registration statement at such time, and
(ii) the Company shall furnish to such Holders a certificate signed by the
president 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
for such registration statement to be filed in the near future and that it is,
therefore, essential to defer the filing of such registration statement, then
the Company shall have the right to defer such filing for the period during
which such disclosure would be seriously detrimental, provided, that the
Company may not defer the filing for a period of more than ninety (90) days
after receipt of the request of the Initiating Holders, and, provided further,
that (except as provided in Section 1.2(a)(ii)(C) above) the Company shall not
defer its obligation in this manner more than once in any twelve-month period.
The registration statement filed pursuant to the request of
the Initiating Holders may, subject to the provisions of Section 1.2(b) and
1.14 hereof, include other securities of the Company and may include securities
of the Company being sold for the account of the Company.
(c) Underwriting. 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 Section 1.2 and the Company shall include such
information in the written notice referred to in Section 1.2(a)(i) above. The
right of any Holder to registration pursuant to Section 1.2 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 with respect to such participation and inclusion) to the extent
provided herein. A Holder may elect to include in such underwriting all or a
part of the Registrable Securities he holds.
(d) Procedures. If the Company shall request
inclusion in any registration pursuant to Section 1.2 of securities being sold
for its own account, or if other persons shall request inclusion in any
registration pursuant to Section 1.2, the Initiating Holders shall, on behalf
of all Holders, offer to include such securities in the underwriting and may
condition such offer on their acceptance of the further applicable provisions
of this Section 1 (including Section 1.13). The Company shall (together with
all Holders, and other persons proposing to distribute their securities through
such underwriting) enter into an
-5-
71
underwriting agreement in customary form with the representative of the
underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting by a majority in
interest of the Initiating Holders, which underwriter(s) are reasonably
acceptable to the Company. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section
1.2, if the representative of the underwriters advises the Initiating Holders
in writing that marketing factors require a limitation on the number of shares
to be underwritten, the number of shares to be included in the underwriting or
registration shall be allocated as set forth in Section 1.14 hereof. If the
person who has requested inclusion in such registration as provided above does
not agree to the terms of any such underwriting, such person shall be excluded
therefrom by written notice from the Company, the underwriter or the Initiating
Holders. The securities so excluded shall also be withdrawn from registration.
Any Registrable Securities or other securities excluded shall also be withdrawn
from such registration. If shares are so withdrawn from the registration and
if the number of shares to be included in such registration was previously
reduced as a result of marketing factors pursuant to this Section 1.2(d), then
the Company shall offer to all holders who have retained rights to include
securities in the registration the right to include additional securities in
the registration in an aggregate amount equal to the number of shares
withdrawn, with such shares to be allocated among such Holders requesting
additional inclusion in accordance with Section 1.14.
1.3 Company Registration.
(a) Company Registration. If the Company shall
determine to register any of its securities either for its own account or the
account of a security holder or holders exercising their respective demand
registration rights (other than pursuant to Section 1.2 hereof), other than a
registration relating solely to employee benefit plans, or a registration
relating solely to a Rule 145 transaction, or a registration on any
registration form which does not permit secondary sales, or the first
registration under the Securities Act filed by the Company for an offering of
its securities to the general public, the Company will:
(i) promptly give to each Holder written
notice thereof; and
(ii) use its best efforts to include in
such registration (and any related qualification under blue sky laws or other
compliance), except as set forth in Section 1.3(b) below, and in any
underwriting involved therein, all the Registrable Securities specified in a
written request or requests, made by any Holder within twenty (20) days after
the written notice from the Company described in Section 1.3(a)(i) above is
effective. Such written request may specify all or a part of a Holder's
Registrable Securities for inclusion.
(b) Underwriting. If the registration of which
the Company gives notice is for a registered public offering involving an
underwriting, the Company shall so advise the Holders as a part of the written
notice given pursuant to Section 1.3(a)(i). In such event the right of any
Holder to registration pursuant to 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
-6-
72
proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting shall
(together with the Company and the holders of other securities of the Company
distributing their securities through such underwriting) enter into an
underwriting agreement in customary form with the representative of the
underwriter or underwriters selected by the Company.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 1.3, if
the representative of the underwriters advises the Company in writing that
marketing factors require a limitation on the number of shares to be
underwritten, the representative may (subject to the limitations set forth
below) exclude all Registrable Securities from, or limit the number of
Registrable Securities to be included in, the registration and underwriting.
The Company shall so advise all holders of securities requesting registration,
and the number of shares of securities that are entitled to be included in the
registration and underwriting shall be allocated first to the Company for
securities being sold for its own account and thereafter as set forth in
Section 1.13. If any person does not agree to the terms of any such
underwriting, he shall be excluded therefrom by written notice from the Company
or the underwriter. Any Registrable Securities or other securities excluded or
withdrawn from such underwriting shall be withdrawn from such registration.
If shares are so withdrawn from the registration or if the
number of shares of Registrable Securities to be included in such registration
was previously reduced as a result of marketing factors, the Company shall then
offer to all persons who have retained the right to include securities in the
registration the right to include additional securities in the registration in
an aggregate amount equal to the number of shares so withdrawn, with such
shares to be allocated among the persons requesting additional inclusion in
accordance with Section 1.14 hereof.
1.4 Expenses of Registration. All Registration Expenses
incurred in connection with any registration, qualification or compliance
pursuant to Sections 1.3 and 1.5 hereof, and the first two registrations
pursuant to Section 1.2 hereof shall be borne by the Company; provided,
however, that if the Holders bear the Registration Expenses for any
registration proceeding begun pursuant to Section 1.2 and subsequently
withdrawn by the Holders registering shares therein, such registration
proceeding shall not be counted as a requested registration pursuant to Section
1.2 hereof, except in the event that such withdrawal is based upon material
adverse information relating to the Company that is different from the
information known or available (upon request from the Company or otherwise) to
the Holders requesting registration at the time of their request for
registration under Section 1.2, in which event such registration shall not be
treated as a counted registration for purposes of Section 1.2 hereof even
though the Holders do not bear the Registration Expenses for such registration.
All Selling Expenses relating to securities so registered shall be borne by the
holders of such securities pro rata on the basis of the number of shares of
securities so registered on their behalf.
1.5 Registration on Form S-3.
-7-
73
(a) After the Initial Offering, the Company shall
use its best efforts to qualify for registration on Form S-3 or any comparable
or successor form or forms. After the Company has qualified for the use of
Form S-3, in addition to the rights contained in the foregoing provisions of
this Section 1, the Holders of Registrable Securities shall have the right to
request registrations on Form S-3 (such requests shall be in writing and shall
state the number of shares of Registrable Securities to be disposed of and the
intended methods of disposition of such shares by such Holder or Holders),
provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to effect any such
registration if (i) 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) on Form S-3
at an aggregate price to the public of less than $500,000, or (ii) in the event
that the Company shall furnish the certification described in paragraph
1.2(a)(ii) (but subject to the limitations set forth therein) or (iii) in a
given twelve-month period, after the Company has effected one (1) such
registration in any such period.
(b) If a request complying with the requirements
of Section 1.5(a) hereof is delivered to the Company, the provisions of
Sections 1.2(a)(i) and (ii) and Section 1.2(b) hereof shall apply to such
registration. If the registration is for an underwritten offering, the
provisions of Sections 1.2(c) and 1.2(d) hereof shall apply to such
registration.
1.6 Registration Procedures. In the case of each
registration effected by the Company pursuant to Section 1, the Company will
keep each Holder advised in writing as to the initiation of each registration
and as to the completion thereof. At its expense, the Company will use its
best efforts to:
(a) Keep such registration effective for a period
of one hundred twenty (120) days or until the Holder or Holders have completed
the distribution described in the registration statement relating thereto,
whichever first occurs; provided, however, that (i) such 120-day period shall
be extended for a period of time equal to the period the Holder refrains from
selling any securities included in such registration at the request of an
underwriter of Common Stock (or other securities) of the Company; and (ii) in
the case of any registration of Registrable Securities on Form S-3 which are
intended to be offered on a continuous or delayed basis, such 120-day period
shall be extended, if necessary, to keep the registration statement effective
until all such Registrable Securities are sold, provided that Rule 415, or any
successor rule under the Securities Act, permits an offering on a continuous or
delayed basis, and provided further that applicable rules under the Securities
Act governing the obligation to file a post-effective amendment permit, in lieu
of filing a post-effective amendment which (I) includes any prospectus required
by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act or (II) reflects facts or events
representing a material or fundamental change in the information set forth in
the registration statement, the incorporation by reference of information
required to be included in (I) and (II) above to be contained in periodic
reports filed pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act in the
registration statement;
-8-
74
(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;
(c) Furnish such number of prospectuses and other
documents incident thereto, including any preliminary prospectus or amendment
of or supplement to the prospectus, as a Holder from time to time may
reasonably request;
(d) Notify each seller 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 on 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 or incomplete in the light of the
circumstances then existing, and at the request of any such seller, prepare and
furnish to such seller a reasonable number of copies of a supplement to or an
amendment of such prospectus as may be necessary so that, as thereafter
delivered to the purchasers of such shares, such prospectus shall not include
an 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 or incomplete in the light of the circumstances then existing;
(e) Use all reasonable efforts to register and
qualify the securities covered by the registration statement under such other
securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdiction as shall be reasonably
requested by the Holders; provided, however, 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 state
or jurisdiction;
(f) Cause all such Registrable Securities
registered pursuant hereunder to be listed on each securities exchange on which
similar securities issued by the Company are then listed;
(g) 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;
(h) Otherwise use its best efforts to comply with
all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC, and make available to its
security holders, as soon as reasonably practicable, an earnings statement
covering the period of at least twelve (12) months, but not more than eighteen
(18) months, beginning with the first month after the effective date of the
Registration Statement, which earnings statement shall satisfy the provisions
of Section II(a) of the Securities Act;
-9-
75
(i) In connection with any underwritten offering
pursuant to a registration statement filed pursuant to Section 1.2 hereof, the
Company will enter into an underwriting agreement reasonably necessary to
effect the offer and sale of Common Stock, provided such underwriting agreement
contains customary underwriting provisions and provided further that if the
underwriter so requests the underwriting agreement will contain customary
contribution provisions; and
(j) Furnish, at the request of a majority of the
Holders participating in the registration, 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 such registration statement with respect
to such securities becomes effective, (A) 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 (B) 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 and
reasonably satisfactory to a majority in interest of the Holders requesting
registration, addressed to the underwriters, if any, and if permitted by
applicable accounting standards, to the Holders requesting registration of
Registrable Securities.
1.7 Indemnification.
(a) The Company will indemnify each Holder, each
of its officers, directors and partners, legal counsel and accountants and each
person controlling such Holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the
Securities Act, with respect to which registration, qualification or compliance
has been effected pursuant to this Section 1 and each underwriter, if any, and
each person who controls within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act
any underwriter, against all expenses, claims, losses, damages and liabilities
(or actions, proceedings or settlements in respect thereof) arising out of or
based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact
contained in any prospectus, offering circular or other document (including any
related registration statement, notification or the like) incident to any such
registration, qualification or compliance, or based on any omission (or alleged
omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or any violation by
the Company of the Securities Act or any rule or regulation thereunder
applicable to the Company and relating to action or inaction required of the
Company in connection with any such registration, qualification or compliance,
and will reimburse each such Holder, each of its officers, directors, partners,
legal counsel and accountants and each person controlling such Holder, each
such underwriter and each person who controls any such underwriter, for any
legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with
investigating and defending or settling any such claim, loss, damage, liability
or action, provided that the Company will not be liable in any such
-10-
76
case to the extent that any such claim, loss, damage, liability or expense
arises out of or is based on any untrue statement or omission based upon
written information furnished to the Company by such Holder or underwriter and
stated to be specifically for use therein. It is agreed that the indemnity
agreement contained in this Section 1.7(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 has
not been unreasonably withheld).
(b) Each Holder will, if Registrable Securities
held by him are included in the securities as to which such registration,
qualification or compliance is being effected, indemnify the Company, each of
its directors, officers, partners, legal counsel and accountants and each
underwriter, if any, of the Company's securities covered by such a registration
statement, each person who controls the Company or such underwriter within the
meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, each other such Holder and Other
Shareholder and each of their officers, directors and partners, and each person
controlling such Holder or Other Shareholder, against all claims, losses,
damages and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arising out of or based
on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact
contained in any such registration statement, prospectus, offering circular or
other document, or any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading, and will reimburse the Company and such Holders, Other
Shareholders, directors, officers, partners, legal counsel and accountants,
persons, underwriters or control persons for any legal or any other expenses
reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending any such
claim, loss, damage, liability or action, in each case to the extent, but only
to the extent, that such untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) or
omission (or alleged omission) is made in such registration statement,
prospectus, offering circular or other document in reliance upon and in
conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Holder;
provided, however, that the obligations of such Holder hereunder shall not
apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such claims, losses, damages or
liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) if such settlement is effected
without the consent of such Holder (which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld).
(c) Each party entitled to indemnification under
this Section 1.7 (the "Indemnified Party") shall give notice to the party
required to provide indemnification (the "Indemnifying Party") promptly after
such Indemnified Party has actual knowledge of any claim as to which indemnity
may be sought, and shall permit the Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of
any such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom, provided that counsel for
the Indemnifying Party, who shall conduct the defense of such claim or any
litigation resulting therefrom, shall be approved by the Indemnified Party
(whose approval shall not unreasonably be withheld), and the Indemnified Party
may participate in such defense at such party's expense, and provided further
that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein
shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Section
1, to the extent such failure is not prejudicial. No Indemnifying Party, in
the defense of any such claim or litigation, shall, except with the consent of
each Indemnified Party,
-11-
77
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. 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.
(d) If the indemnification provided for in this
Section 1.7 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 which
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 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.
(e) 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.
1.8 Information by Holder. Each Holder of Registrable
Securities shall furnish to the Company such information regarding such Holder
and the distribution proposed by such Holder as the Company may reasonably
request in writing and as shall be reasonably required in connection with any
registration, qualification or compliance referred to in this Section 1.
1.9 Limitations on Registration of Issues of Securities.
From and after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall not, without the
prior written consent of a majority in interest of the Holders, enter into any
agreement with any holder or prospective holder of any securities of the
Company giving such holder or prospective holder any registration rights the
terms of which are more favorable than the registration rights granted to the
Holders hereunder.
1.10 Rule 144 Reporting. With a view to making available
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 its best efforts to:
-12-
78
(a) Make and keep public information available as
those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act, at
all times from and after ninety (90) days following the effective date of the
first registration under the Securities Act filed by the Company for an
offering of its securities to the general public;
(b) File with the SEC in a timely manner all
reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act
and the Exchange Act at any time after it has become subject to such reporting
requirements;
(c) So long as a Holder owns any Registrable
Securities, furnish to the Holder forthwith upon written request a written
statement by the Company as to its compliance with the reporting requirements
of Rule 144 (at any time from and after ninety (90) days following 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 Securities Act
and 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 so filed as a Holder may
reasonably request in availing itself of any rule or regulation of the SEC
allowing a Holder to sell any such securities without registration.
1.11 Transfer or Assignment of Registration Rights. The
rights to cause the Company to register securities granted to a Holder by the
Company under Sections 1.2, 1.3 and 1.5 may be transferred or assigned by a
Holder only to a transferee or assignee of not less than 25,000 shares of
Registrable Securities (as presently constituted and subject to subsequent
adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends, reverse stock splits and the
like), and only provided that the Company is given written notice at the time
of or within a reasonable time after said transfer or assignment, stating the
name and address of said transferee or assignee and identifying the securities
with respect to which such registration rights are being transferred or
assigned, and provided further that the transferee or assignee of such rights
assumes the obligations of such Holder under this Article 1.
1.12 Restrictions on Transfer.
(a) Each Holder agrees not to transfer or dispose
of all or any portion of the Registrable Securities unless and until the
proposed transferee has agreed in writing for the benefit of the Company to be
bound by this Section 1.12, provided and to the extent this Section 1.12 is
then applicable and:
(i) There is then in effect a
registration statement under the Securities Act covering such proposed
disposition and such disposition is made in accordance with such registration
statement; or
(ii) (A) Such Holder shall have
notified the Company of the proposed disposition and shall have furnished the
Company with a detailed statement of the circumstances surrounding the proposed
disposition, and (B) if requested by the Company,
-13-
79
such Holder shall have furnished the Company with an opinion of counsel,
reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such disposition
will not require registration of such shares under the Securities Act.
Notwithstanding the provisions of subsections (i) and (ii) above, no such
registration statement or opinion of counsel shall be necessary for a transfer
(A) by a Holder which is a partnership to its partners or retired partners in
accordance with partnership interests, (B) to a Holder's family member or trust
for the benefit of an individual Holder, provided that the transferee will be
subject to the terms of this Section 1.12 to the same extent as if he were an
original Holer hereunder, or (C) pursuant to Rule 144(k); provided, however,
that the Company must be satisfied in its reasonable discretion that the
proposed sale of securities fully qualifies with all Rule 144 requirements.
(b) Each certificate representing Registrable
Securities shall (unless otherwise permitted by the provisions of this
Agreement) be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend substantially
similar to the following (in addition to any legend required under applicable
state securities laws):
"THE SHARES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE
UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD,
TRANSFERRED, ASSIGNED, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED ABSENT AN EFFECTIVE
REGISTRATION THEREOF UNDER SUCH ACT OR COMPLIANCE WITH RULE 144
PROMULGATED UNDER SUCH ACT, OR UNLESS THE COMPANY HAS RECEIVED AN
OPINION OF COUNSEL, SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY AND ITS COUNSEL, THAT
SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED."
1.13 "Market Stand-Off" Agreement. If requested by the
Company and an underwriter of Common Stock (or other securities) of the
Company, an Investor shall not sell or otherwise transfer or dispose of any
Common Stock (or other securities) of the Company held by such Investor (other
than those included in the registration) during the one hundred eighty (180)
day period following the effective date of a registration statement of the
Company filed under the Securities Act, provided that all Holders and officers
and directors of the Company enter into similar agreements.
The obligations described in this Section 1.13 shall not apply
to a registration relating solely to employee benefit plans on Form S-1 or Form
S-8 or similar forms which may be promulgated in the future, or a registration
relating solely to a Rule 145 transaction on Form S-4, Form S-14 or Form S-15
or similar forms which may be promulgated in the future. The Company may
impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the shares (or securities)
subject to the foregoing restriction until the end of said one hundred eighty
(180) day period.
1.14 Allocation of Registration Opportunities. In any
circumstance in which all of the Registrable Securities and other shares of
Common Stock of the Company
-14-
80
(including shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon conversion of shares
of any currently unissued series of Preferred Stock of the Company) with
registration rights (the "Other Shares") requested to be included in a
registration on behalf of the Holders or other selling shareholders cannot be
so included as a result of limitations of the aggregate number of shares of
Registrable Securities and Other Shares which may be so included, the number of
shares of Registrable Securities and Other Shares which may be so included
shall be allocated among the Holders and other selling shareholders requesting
inclusion of shares pro rata on the basis of the number of shares of
Registrable Securities and Other Shares that would be held by such Holders and
other selling shareholders, assuming conversion; provided, however, that, so
that such allocation shall not operate to reduce the aggregate number of
Registrable Securities and Other Shares to be included in such registration, if
any Holder or other selling shareholder does not request inclusion of the
maximum number of shares of Registrable Securities and Other Shares allocated
to him pursuant to the above-described procedure, the remaining portion of his
allocation shall be reallocated among those requesting Holders and other
selling shareholders whose allocations did not satisfy their requests pro rata
on the basis of the number of shares of Registrable Securities and Other Shares
that would be held by such Holders and other selling shareholders, assuming
conversion, and this procedure shall be repeated until all of the shares of
Registrable Securities and Other Shares that may be included in the
registration on behalf of the Holders and other selling shareholders have been
so allocated. The Company shall not limit the number of Registrable Securities
to be included in a registration pursuant to this Agreement in order to include
shares held by shareholders with no registration rights or to include Founder's
Stock or any other shares of stock issued to employees, officers, directors or
consultants pursuant to the Company's stock option plan, or with respect to
registrations under Sections 1.2 or 1.5 hereof, in order to include in such
registration securities registered for the Company's own account or included at
the request of the Company pursuant to Section 1.3 hereof without the prior
written consent of seventy percent (70%) of the Holders; provided, further,
that in no event will the amount of securities of the selling Holders included
in a registration pursuant to Section 1.3 hereof be reduced below twenty
percent (20%) of the total amount of securities included in such offering,
unless such offering is the Initial Offering of the Company's securities in
which case the selling shareholders may be excluded entirely if the
underwriters make the determination described above and no other shareholder's
securities are included. For purposes of determining allocation hereunder, for
any selling shareholder which is a Holder of Registrable Securities and 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 will be deemed to be a single "selling shareholder," and any
pro-rata reduction with respect to such "selling shareholder" will be based
upon the aggregate amount of shares carrying registration rights owned by all
entities and individuals included in such "selling shareholder."
1.15 Delay of Registration. No Holder shall have any
right to take and, action to restrain, enjoin, or otherwise delay any
registration as the result of any controversy that might arise with respect to
the interpretation or implementation of this Section 1.
-15-
81
1.16 Termination of Registration Rights. The right of any
Holder to request registration or inclusion in any registration pursuant to
Sections 1.2, 1.3 or 1.5 shall terminate on the closing of the first
Company-initiated registered public offering of Common Stock of the Company,
provided that all shares of Registrable Securities held or entitled to be held
upon conversion by such Holder may immediately be sold under Rule 144 during
any 90-day period, or on such date after the closing of the first
Company-initiated registered public offering of Common Stock of the Company as
all shares of Registrable Securities held or entitled to be held upon
conversion by such Holder may immediately be sold under Rule 144 during any
90-day period.

approved by its Board of Directors, subject to changes resulting from normal
year-end audit adjustments, all in reasonable detail and certified by the
principal financial or accounting officer of the Company, except that such
balance sheet need not contain the notes required by generally accepted
accounting principles.
2.2 Additional Information and Rights.
-16-
82
(a) The Company will permit any Investor, so long
as such Investor (or its representative) owns at least 200,000 Shares, or such
number of shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of 200,000 or more
Shares, or any combination thereof (as presently constituted and subject to
subsequent adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, reverse stock splits,
recapitalizations and the like) (a "Significant Holder") (or a representative
of any Significant Holder) to visit and inspect any of the properties of the
Company, including its books of account and other records (and make copies
thereof and take extracts therefrom), and to discuss its affairs, finances and
accounts with the Company's officers and its independent public accountants,
all at such reasonable times and as often as any such person may reasonably
request.
(b) Until the earlier to occur of (i) the date on
which the Company is subject to the reporting requirements of Sections 13(a) or
15(d) of the Exchange Act, or (ii) the date on which quotations for the Common
Stock of the Company are reported by the automated quotations systems operated
by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., or by an equivalent
quotations system, the Company will deliver the reports described below in this
Section 2.2 to each Significant Holder:
(i) As soon as practical after the end
of each month and in any event within thirty (30) days thereafter a
consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its subsidiaries, if any, as at
the end of such month and consolidated statements of income and of sources and
applications of funds of the Company and its subsidiaries, for each month and

year-end audit adjustments, prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles consistently applied and certified by the principal
financial or accounting officer of the Company, together with a comparison of
such statements to the corresponding periods of the prior fiscal year and to
the Company's operating plan then in effect and approved by its Board of
Directors.
(c) The provisions of Section 2.1 and this
Section 2.2 shall not be in limitation of any rights which any Holder or
Significant Holder may have with respect to the books and records of the
Company and its subsidiaries, or to inspect their properties or discuss their
affairs, finances and accounts, under the laws of the jurisdictions in which
they are incorporated.
(d) Anything in Section 2 to the contrary
notwithstanding, no Holder or Significant Holder by reason of this Agreement
shall have access to any trade secrets or classified information of the
Company. Each Significant Holder hereby agrees to hold in confidence and trust
and not to misuse or disclose any confidential information provided pursuant to
this Section 2.2.
(e) Each Holder who represents to the Company
that it is a "venture capital operating company" for purposes of Department of
Labor Regulation Section 2510.3-101 shall in addition have the right to consult
with and advise the officers of the Company as to the management of the
Company.
-17-
83
2.3 Right of First Refusal. The Company hereby grants to
each Holder who owns any shares of Series A, Series B, Series C, Series A-1,
Series B-1 or Series C-1 Preferred Stock (the "Cash Preferred") or any shares
of Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Cash Preferred (the "Rights
Holder") the right of first refusal to purchase a Pro Rata Share (as defined in
this Section 2.3) of New Securities (as defined in this Section 2.3) which the
Company may, from time to time, propose to sell and issue. A Rights Holder's
Pro Rata Share, for purposes of this right of first refusal, is the ratio of
the number of shares of Common Stock owned by such Rights Holder immediately
prior to the issuance of New Securities, assuming full conversion of the
Shares, to the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately
prior to the issuance of New Securities, assuming full conversion of the Shares
and exercise of all outstanding rights, options and warrants to acquire Common
Stock of the Company. Each Rights Holder shall have a right of over-allotment
such that if any Rights Holder fails to exercise its right hereunder to
purchase its Pro Rata Share of New Securities, the other Rights Holders may
purchase the non-purchasing Rights Holder's portion on a pro rata basis within
ten (10) days from the date such non-purchasing Rights Holder fails to exercise
its right hereunder to purchase its pro rata share of New Securities. This
right of first refusal shall be subject to the following provisions:
(a) "New Securities" shall mean any capital stock
(including Common Stock and/or Preferred Stock) of the Company whether now
authorized or not, and rights, options or warrants to purchase such capital
stock, and securities of any type whatsoever that are, or may become,
convertible into capital stock; provided that the term "New Securities" does
not include (i) securities purchased under the Series C Agreement; (ii)
securities issued upon conversion of the Shares; (iii) securities issued
pursuant to the acquisition of another business entity or business segment of
any such entity by the Company by merger, purchase of substantially all the
assets or other reorganization whereby the Company will own not less than
fifty-one percent (51%) of the voting power of such business entity or business
segment of any such entity; (iv) any borrowings, direct or indirect, from
financial institutions or other persons by the Company, whether or not
presently authorized, including any type of loan or payment evidenced by any
type of debt instrument, provided such borrowings do not have any equity
features including warrants, options or other rights to purchase capital stock
and are not convertible into capital stock of the Company; (v) securities
issued to employees, consultants, officers or directors of the Company pursuant
to any stock option, stock purchase or stock bonus plan, agreement or
arrangement approved by the Board of Directors; (vi) securities issued to
vendors or customers or to other persons in similar commercial situations with
the Company if such issuance is approved by the Board of Directors; (vii)
securities issued in connection with obtaining lease financing, whether issued
to a lessor, guarantor or other person; (viii) securities issued in a firm
commitment underwritten public offering pursuant to a registration under the
Securities Act with an aggregate offering price to the public in excess of $5.0
million; (ix) securities issued in connection with any stock split, stock
dividend or recapitalization of the Company; and (x) any right, option or
warrant to acquire any security convertible into the securities excluded from
the definition of New Securities pursuant to subsections (i) through (ix)
above.
-18-
84
(b) In the event the Company proposes to
undertake an issuance of New Securities, it shall give each Rights Holder
written notice of its intention, describing the type of New Securities, and
their price and the general terms upon which the Company proposes to issue the
same. Each Rights Holder shall have twenty (20) days after any such notice is
effective to agree to purchase such Rights Holder's Pro Rata Share of such 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.
(c) In the event the Rights Holders fail to
exercise fully the right of first refusal within said twenty (20)-day period
and after the expiration of the ten (10)-day period for the exercise of the
over-allotment provisions of this Section 2.3, the Company shall have one
hundred twenty (120) 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 one hundred twenty (120) days from the date of said
agreement) to sell the New Securities respecting which the Rights Holders'
right of first refusal option set forth in this Section 2.3 was not exercised,
at a price and upon terms no more favorable to the purchasers thereof than
specified in the Company's notice to Rights Holders pursuant to Section 2.3(b).
In the event the Company has not sold within said one hundred twenty (120)-day
period or entered into an agreement to sell the New Securities within said one
hundred twenty (120)-day period (or sold and issued New Securities in
accordance with the foregoing within one hundred twenty (120) days from the
date of said agreement), the Company shall not thereafter issue or sell any New
Securities, without first again offering such securities to the Rights Holders
in the manner provided in Section 2.3(b) above.
(d) At any time following the date of this
Agreement, if the Company has complied with its notice obligations pursuant to
this Section 2.3, or such obligations have been waived, and the Company
thereafter proceeds to issue or sell New Securities and a Rights Holder does
not acquire his, her or its Pro Rata Share (a "Non-Participating Rights
Holder"), then all of such Non-Participating Rights Holder's Cash Preferred
shall automatically and without further action on the part of such holder be
converted, pursuant to Article III(B)(4)(m) of the Company's Amended and
Restated Articles of Incorporation, effective upon, subject to, and
concurrently with, the consummation of the issuance and sale of the New
Securities into an equivalent number of shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock,
Series B-1 Preferred Stock and Series C-1 Preferred Stock, respectively;
provided, however, that no such conversion shall occur in connection with a
particular issuance of sale of New Securities if, pursuant to the written
request of this corporation, such holder agrees in writing to waive his, her or
its right of first refusal hereunder with respect to such issuance or sale.
(e) The right of first refusal granted under this
Agreement shall expire upon, and shall not be applicable to, the first sale of
Common Stock of the Company to the public effected pursuant to a registration
statement filed with, and declared effective by, the SEC under the Securities
Act, with proceeds of more than $5,000,000.
-19-
85
(f) The right of first refusal set forth in this
Section 2.3 may not be assigned or transferred, except that (i) such right is
assignable by each Rights Holder to any wholly owned subsidiary or parent of,
or to any corporation or entity that is, within the meaning of the Securities
Act, controlling, controlled by or under common control with, any such Rights
Holder, and (ii) such right is assignable between and among any of the Rights
Holders.
2.4 Key Person Life Insurance. The Company has as of the
date hereof obtained from financially sound and reputable insurers term life
insurance on the life of Xxxxx Xxxx in the amount of $2,000,000 (the "Xxxx
Insurance"), and shall maintain with financially sound and reputable insurers
the Xxxx Insurance and term life insurance on the life of Xxxxxx Xxxxxx in the
amount of $1,000,000, except as otherwise decided in accordance with policies
adopted by the Company's Board of Directors. Such policies shall name the
Company as loss payee and shall not be cancelable by the Company without prior
approval of the Board of Directors.
2.5 Representation on Board of Directors. So long as any
Shares remain outstanding, the Company will use its best efforts to cause and
maintain the election to the Board of Directors of (a) two people designated by
the holders of a majority of the Series C Preferred Stock outstanding,
including Common Stock issued upon conversion of such Series C Preferred Stock
(each a "Series C Director"), and (b) two people designated by the holders of a
majority of the Series A and Series B Preferred Stock outstanding, including
Common Stock issued upon conversion of such Series A and B Preferred Stock.
One Series C Director shall be designated by The Sprout Group and the other
Series C Director shall be designated, subject to the consent of The Sprout
Group, by a holder of at least 2,419,355 shares of Series C Preferred Stock in
the aggregate. In the event that two or more holders of Series C Preferred
Stock, other than The Sprout Group, each hold in excess of 2,419,355 shares of
Series C Preferred Stock, then that holder holding the greatest number of
shares of Series C Preferred Stock shall have the right to designate the
remaining Series C Director. In the event that two or more such holders hold
an equal number of Series C Preferred Stock, then The Sprout Group shall
determine which of them shall designate the remaining Series C Director. The
Company further agrees that it will take all actions reasonably necessary,
including increasing the current number of directors in accordance with the
provisions of the Company's Bylaws, to permit all such designations of
directors to occur on or immediately prior to the regular meeting of the Board
of Directors to be scheduled in September 1995, but in no event later than
September 30, 1995.
For purposes of the designation of the Series C Director, a holder
shall include an Investor who has purchased or agreed to purchase at least
2,419,355 shares of Series C Preferred Stock pursuant to the Series C Preferred
Stock Purchase Agreement of even date herewith. For the purposes of this
paragraph, a "holder" shall include the affiliates of any holder.
-20-

public offering registered under the Securities Act.

CO-SALE AGREEMENT

COMBICHEM, INC.
CO-SALE AGREEMENT
This Co-Sale Agreement is made as of the _____ day of August,
1995, by and among Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxx, Xxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx,
Xxx Xxxxx, Chi-Xxxx Xxxx and Xxxx Xxxxx (individually, a "Founder" and,
collectively, the "Founders"), CombiChem, Inc., a California corporation (the
"Company"), and the undersigned holders of Series A, B or C Preferred Stock of
the Company (the "Shareholders").
In consideration of the mutual covenants set forth herein, the
parties agree as follows:
1. Definitions.
(a) "Stock" shall mean shares of the Company's
Common Stock or Preferred Stock or Series Z Preferred Stock now owned or
subsequently acquired by the Founders.
(b) "Preferred Stock" shall mean the Company's
outstanding Series A, Series B, Series C, Series J, Series Z, Series A-1,
Series B-1 and Series C-1 Preferred Stock.
(c) "Common Stock" shall mean the Company's
Common Stock and shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon conversion of
the Company's outstanding Preferred Stock.
2. Sales by Founder.
(a) If a Founder proposes to sell or transfer any
shares of Stock in one or more related transactions which will result in (i)
the transfer of 1,000 or more shares of Stock by such Founder or (ii) the
transferee of such shares holding more than 50% of the Common Stock, then such
Founder shall promptly give written notice (the "Notice") to the Company and
the Shareholders at least twenty (20) days prior to the closing of such sale or
transfer. The Notice shall describe in reasonable detail the proposed sale or
transfer including, without limitation, the number of shares of Stock to be
sold or transferred, the nature of such sale or transfer, the consideration to
be paid and the name and address of each prospective purchaser or transferee.
In the event that the sale or transfer is being made pursuant to the provisions
of Sections 3(a) or 3(b) hereof, the Notice shall state under which paragraph
the sale or transfer is being made.
(b) Each Shareholder shall have the right,
exercisable upon written notice to such Founder within 15 days after receipt of
the Notice, to participate in such sale of Stock on the same terms and
conditions. To the extent one or more of the Shareholders exercise such right
of participation in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth below,
the number of shares of Stock that the Founder may sell in the transaction
shall be correspondingly reduced.
-1-
94
(c) Each Shareholder may sell all or any part of
that number of shares of Stock equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i)
the aggregate number of shares of Stock covered by the Notice by (ii) a
fraction the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock owned
by the Shareholders at the time of the sale or transfer and the denominator of
which is the total number of shares of Common Stock owned by the Founder and
the Shareholders at the time of the sale or transfer.
(d) If any Shareholder fails to elect to fully
participate in such Founder's sale pursuant to this Section 2, the Founder
shall give notice of such failure to the Shareholders who did so elect (the
"Participants"). Such notice may be made by telephone if confirmed in writing
within two (2) days. The Participants shall have five (5) days from the date
such notice was given to agree to sell their pro rata share of the unsold
portion. For purposes of this Section 2(d), a Participant's pro rata share
shall be the ratio of (x) the number of shares of Common Stock held by such
Participant to (y) the total number of shares of Common Stock held by the
Participants and the Founder.
(e) Each Participant shall effect its
participation in the sale by promptly delivering to the Founder for transfer to
the prospective purchaser one or more certificates, properly endorsed for
transfer, which represent:
(i) the type and number of shares of
Common Stock which such Participant elects to sell; or
(ii) that number of shares of Series A,
Series B or Series C Preferred Stock which is at such time convertible into the
number of shares of Common Stock which such Participant elects to sell;
provided, however, that if the prospective purchaser objects to the delivery of
Series A, Series B or Series C Preferred Stock in lieu of Common Stock, such
Participant shall convert such Preferred Stock into Common Stock and deliver
Common Stock as provided in Section 2(e)(i) above. The Company agrees to make

provided below, and the Founder shall be bound by the applicable provisions of

Shareholder shall have the right to sell to the Founder the type and number of
shares of Stock equal to the number of shares each Shareholder would have been
entitled to transfer to the purchaser had the Prohibited Transfer under Section
2(c) hereof been effected pursuant to and in compliance with the terms thereof.
Such sale shall be made on the following terms and conditions:
(i) The price per share at which the
shares are to be sold to the Founder shall be equal to the price per share paid
by the purchaser to the Founder in the Prohibited Transfer. The Founder shall
also reimburse each Shareholder for any and all reasonable fees and expense,
including reasonable legal fees and expense, incurred pursuant to the exercise
or the attempted exercise of the Shareholder's rights under Section 2.

each Shareholder shall, if exercising the option created hereby, deliver to the
Founder the certificate or certificates representing shares to be sold, each
certificate to be properly endorsed for transfer.

the certificate or certificates for the shares to be sold by a Shareholder,
pursuant to this Section 4(b), pay the aggregate purchase price therefor and
the amount of reimbursable fees and expense, as specified in Section 4(b)(i),
in cash or by other means acceptable to the Shareholder.

(iv) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any
attempt by a Founder to transfer Stock in violation of Section 2 hereof shall

treat any alleged transferee as the holder of such shares without the written
consent of a majority in interest of the Shareholders.
