and such Holder) to the extent provided herein. All Holders proposing to
distribute their securities through such underwriting shall enter into an
underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters
selected for such underwriting by a majority in interest of the Initiating
Holders (which underwriter or underwriters shall be reasonably acceptable to the
Company). In the event the underwriter determines in good faith that marketing
factors require a limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten, the
number of shares that may be included in the underwriting shall be allocated

(iv) in the case of a demand by the UA Initiating Holder,
prior to the earlier of (A) the 6 months anniversary of the consummation by
the Company of an Initial Offering and (B) July 20, 2002; or
(v) in the case of a demand by the Founder Initiating
Holder, prior to the earlier of (A) the 6 months anniversary of the
consummation by the Company of an Initial Offering and (B) the third
anniversary of the date hereof; or
(vi) in the case of a demand by a Series A Investor
Initiating Holder, after the Company has filed three (3) registration

(viii) in the case of a demand by Xxxxxx, after the Company has
filed one (1) registration statement pursuant to Section 3.1(a)(iii), and
such registration has been declared or ordered effective; or
(ix) in the case of a demand by UA, after the Company has

such registration statement has been declared or ordered effective; or

and such registration statements have been declared or ordered effective;
or
(xi) during the period starting with the date of filing of,
and ending on the date one hundred eighty (180) days following the closing
of the Company's Initial Offering; provided, that, the Company makes
reasonable good faith efforts to cause such registration statement to
become effective; or
(xii) if within fifteen (15) days of receipt of a written
request from Initiating Holders pursuant to Section 3.1(a), the Company
gives notice to the Holders of the Company's intention to make an Initial
Offering within ninety (90) days; or
(xiii) if the Company shall furnish to the Investor Holders
requesting a registration statement pursuant to this Section 3.1, a
certificate signed by the President and Chairman of the Board stating that
in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company, it
would be seriously detrimental to the Company and its stockholders for such
registration statement to be effected at such time, in which event
8
the Company shall have the right to defer such filing for a period of not
more than ninety (90) days after receipt of the request of the Initiating
Holders; provided, that, the right to delay a request may be exercised by
the Company not more than once in any twelve (12)-month period.
3.2 Piggyback Registrations. The Company shall notify all Holders of
Registrable Securities in writing at least thirty (30) days prior to the filing
of any registration statement under the Securities Act for purposes of a public
offering of securities of the Company (including, but not limited to,
registration statements relating to initial or secondary offerings of securities
of the Company and to offerings of securities of the Company initiated by any
party exercising its demand registration rights, but excluding registration
statements relating to employee benefit plans and corporate reorganizations or
other transactions under Rule 145 of the Securities Act) and will afford each
such Holder an opportunity to include in such registration statement all or part
of such Registrable Securities held by such Holder. Each Holder desiring to
include in any such registration statement all or any part of the Registrable
Securities held by it shall, within fifteen (15) days after receipt of the
above-described notice from the Company, so notify the Company in writing. Such
notice shall state the intended method of disposition of the Registrable
Securities by such Holder. If a Holder decides not to include all of its
Registrable Securities in any registration statement thereafter filed by the
Company, such Holder shall nevertheless continue to have the right to include
any Registrable Securities in any subsequent registration statement or
registration statements as may be filed by the Company with respect to offerings
of its securities, all upon the terms and conditions set forth herein.
If the registration statement under which the Company gives notice under
this Section 3.2 is for an underwritten offering, the Company shall so advise
the Holders of Registrable Securities. In such event, the right of any such
Holder to be included in a registration pursuant to this Section 3.2 shall be
conditioned upon such Holder's participation in such underwriting and the
inclusion of such Holder's Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the
extent provided herein. All Holders proposing to distribute their Registrable
Securities through such underwriting shall enter into an underwriting agreement
in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such
underwriting by the Company. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement, if the underwriter determines in good faith that marketing factors
require a limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten, the number of
shares that may be included in the underwriting shall be allocated as follows:
(i) first, to the Company, up to fifty percent (50%) of the aggregate offering
amount; (ii) second, to Founder, the Investor Holders, Xxxxxx, Nova Scotia and
UA on an Adjusted Pro Rata (as defined below) basis; (iii) third, to Founder,
the Investor Holders, Xxxxxx, Nova Scotia and UA on a pro rata basis based on
the total number of Registrable Securities respectively held by the Founder, the
Investor Holders, Xxxxxx, Nova Scotia and UA; (iv) fourth, to the Company, and
(v) fifth, to any stockholder of the Company (other than a Holder) on a pro rata
basis. No such reduction shall (i) reduce the securities being offered by the
Company for its own account to be included in the registration and underwriting
below fifty percent (50%) of the total amount of securities included in such
registration, unless the Company elects to offer less than 50% of the total
amount of securities included in such registration or (ii) reduce the amount of
securities of the selling Holders included in the registration below fifty
percent (50%) of the total amount of securities included in such registration,
unless the Holders elect to offer less than 50% of the total amount of
securities included in such registration or (iii) reduce the amount of
securities of the Founder
9
included in the registration and underwriting below fifty percent (50%) of the
total amount of securities included in such registration, unless the Company
elects to offer less than 50% of the total amount of securities included in such
registration or (ii) reduce the amount of securities of the selling Holders
included in the registration below fifty percent (50%) of the total amount of
securities included in such registration, unless the Holders elect to offer less
than 50% of the total amount of securities included in such registration or
(iii) reduce the amount of securities of the Founder included in the
registration and underwriting below seven and one half percent (7.5%) of the
total amount of the securities included in such registration, unless the Founder
elects to offer less than seven and one half percent (7.5%) of the total amount
of securities included in such registration; provided, however, if such offering
is the Initial Offering and such registration does not include shares of any
other selling stockholders, then any or all of the Registrable Securities of the
Holders may be excluded at the request of the underwriter. In no event will
shares of any other selling stockholder be included in such registration which
would reduce the number of shares which may be included by the Investor Holders,
Founder, Xxxxxx, Nova Scotia or UA, without the written consent of a majority in
interest of the Registrable Securities proposed to be sold in the offering by
the Series A Investors, a majority in interest of the Registrable Securities
proposed to be sold in the offering by the Series B Investors, the written
consent of Founder, the written consent of Xxxxxx, the written consent of Nova
Scotia and the written consent of UA. For purposes of this Section 3.2,
"Adjusted Pro Rata" shall mean, with respect to each of Founder, any Series A
Investor, any Series B Investor, Xxxxxx, Nova Scotia or UA, the fraction of
which (A) the numerator ("Numerator") is equal to the number of shares of
Registrable Securities then held by Founder, any Series A Investor, any Series B
Investor, Xxxxxx, Nova Scotia or UA, as applicable, (B) the denominator
("Denominator") is equal to the aggregate number of Registrable Securities then
held by Founder, the Series A Investors, the Series B Investors, Xxxxxx, Nova
Scotia and UA; provided, that so long as Softbank Technology Ventures IV LP,
Softbank Technology Ventures V, LP Softbank Technology Advisors Fund V, LP,
Softbank Technology Entrepreneurs Fund V, LP and Softbank Technology Advisors
Fund LP (collectively, "Softbank Tech") holds or beneficially owns Registrable
Securities, (A) the Numerator in any calculation of Adjusted Pro Rata share for
Founder shall be equal to the number of Registrable Securities then held or
beneficially owned by Softbank Tech and (B) the Denominator in any calculation
of Adjusted Pro Rata share for Founder, any Series A Investor, any Series B
Investor, Xxxxxx, Nova Scotia or UA shall be reduced by the difference obtained
by subtracting (i) the number of Registrable Securities then held or
beneficially owned by Softbank Tech from (ii) the number of Registrable
Securities then held or beneficially owned by Founder; provided, further, that
in no event shall Founder's Adjusted Pro Rata share equal less than 15%. The
Company shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated
by it under this Section 3.2 prior to the effectiveness of such registration
whether or not any Holder has elected to include securities in such
registration. The registration expenses of such withdrawn registration shall be
borne by the Company in accordance with Section 3.4 hereof.
3.3 Form S-3 Registration. In case the Company shall receive a written
request from the Holders (other than Nova Scotia) that the Company effect a
registration on Form S-3 (or any successor to Form S-3) or any similar short-
form registration statement and any related qualification or compliance with
respect to all or a part of the Registrable Securities owned by such Holders,
the Company will:
(a) promptly give written notice of the proposed registration, and any
related qualification or compliance, to all other Holders of Registrable
Securities; and
(b) as soon as practicable, effect such registration and all such
qualifications and compliances as may be so requested and as would permit or
facilitate the sale and distribution of all or such portion of such Holder's
Registrable Securities as are specified in such request, together with all or
such portion of the Registrable Securities of any Holder or Holders
10
joining in such request as are specified in a written request given within
fifteen (15) days after receipt of such written notice from the Company;
provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to effect any such
registration, qualification or compliance pursuant to this Section 3.3:
(i) if Form S-3 (or any successor or similar form) is not
available for such offering by the Holders; or
(ii) if the Holders, together with the holders of any other
securities of the Company entitled to inclusion in such registration,
propose to sell Registrable Securities and such other securities (if any)
at an aggregate price to the public of less than $3,000,000; or
(iii) if the Company shall furnish to the Holders a certificate
signed by the President and Chairman of the Board of Directors of the
Company stating that, in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors
of the Company, it would be seriously detrimental to the Company and its
stockholders for such Form S-3 Registration to be effected at such time, in
which event the Company shall have the right to defer the filing of the
Form S-3 registration statement for a period of not more than ninety (90)
days after receipt of the request of the Holders under this Section 3.3;
provided, that, the right to delay a request may be exercised by the
Company not more than once in any twelve (12)-month period.
(c) Subject to the foregoing, the Company shall file a Form S-3
registration statement covering the Registrable Securities and other securities
so requested to be registered as soon as practicable after receipt of the
request or requests of the Holders. All such registration expenses incurred in
connection with registrations requested pursuant to this Section 3.3 after the
first three (3) registrations per calendar year shall be paid by the selling
Holders pro rata in proportion to the number of shares sold by each.
3.4 Registration Expenses. Except as set forth in Section 3.3(c), the
Company shall bear all fees and expenses incurred in connection with any
registration under this Agreement, including without limitation all
registration, filing, qualification, printers' and accounting fees, fees and
disbursements of counsel for the Company in its capacity as counsel to the
selling Holders hereunder; if the Company counsel does not make itself available
for this purpose, the Company will pay the reasonable fees and disbursements of
a single special counsel for the Holders, except that each participating Holder
shall bear its proportionate share of all amounts payable to underwriters in
connection with such offering for discounts and commissions. The Company shall
not, however, be required to pay for expenses of any registration proceeding
begun pursuant to Sections 3.1 or 3.3, the request of which has been
subsequently withdrawn by the Founder, the Investor Holders, Xxxxxx, or UA, as
applicable, unless the withdrawal is based upon material adverse information
concerning the Company of which the Founder, the Investor Holders, Xxxxxx, or
UA, as applicable, initiating the registration request were not aware at the
time of such request. If the Holders are required to pay their registration
expenses, such expenses shall be borne by the holders of securities (including
Registrable Securities) requesting such registration in proportion to the number
of shares for which registration was requested.
11
3.5 Obligations of the Company. Whenever required to effect the
registration of any Registrable Securities, the Company shall, as expeditiously
as reasonably possible:
(a) Prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement with
respect to such Registrable Securities and use its best efforts to cause such
registration statement to become effective, and, upon the request of the Holders
of a majority of the Registrable Securities registered thereunder which have not
yet been sold, keep such registration statement effective for up to one hundred
eighty (180) days.
(b) Prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to
such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection with such
registration statement as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the
Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such
registration statement.
(c) Furnish to the Holders such number of copies of a prospectus,
including a preliminary prospectus, in conformity with the requirements of the
Securities Act, and such other documents as they may reasonably request in order
to facilitate the disposition of Registrable Securities owned by them.
(d) Use its best efforts to register and qualify the securities
covered by such registration statement under such other securities or Blue Sky
laws of such jurisdictions as shall be reasonably requested by the Holders.
(e) In the event of any underwritten public offering, enter into and
perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary
form, with the managing underwriter(s) of such offering. Each Holder
participating in such underwriting shall also enter into and perform its
obligations under such an agreement.
(f) Notify each Holder of Registrable Securities covered by such
registration statement, at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is
required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the happening of any event
as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration statement, as
then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to
state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading or incomplete in the light of the
circumstances then existing.
3.6 Termination of Registration Rights. All registration rights granted
under this Section 3 shall terminate and be of no further force and effect five
(5) years after the Company has completed its Initial Offering. In addition,
the right of any Holder to request inclusion of Registrable Securities in any
registration pursuant to this Section 3 shall terminate when (i) all Registrable
Securities held by and issuable to such Holder (and its affiliates, partners and
former partners) may be sold under Rule 144 during any ninety (90)-day period
and (ii) the Company has completed its Initial Offering and is subject to the
provisions of the Exchange Act.
3.7 Furnish Information. It shall be a condition precedent to the
obligations of the Company to take any action pursuant to this Section 3 that
the selling Holders shall furnish to the Company such information regarding
themselves, the Registrable Securities held by them and the intended method of
disposition of such securities as shall be required to effect the registration
of their Registrable Securities.
12
3.8 Delay of Registration. No Holder shall have any right to obtain or
seek an injunction restraining or otherwise delaying any such registration as
the result of any controversy that might arise with respect to the
interpretation or implementation of this Section 3.
3.9 Assignment of Registration Rights. The rights to cause the Company to
register Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 3 may be assigned by a
Holder to a transferee or assignee of Registrable Securities which (a) is a
subsidiary, parent, general partner, limited partner, retired partner,
shareholder, member, retired member, affiliate or trust beneficiaries of a
Holder, (b) is a Holder's family member or trust for the benefit of an
individual Holder, (c) acquires at least twenty percent (20%) of the Holder's
Registrable Securities (as adjusted for stock dividends, stock splits and
combination s); provided, that, notwithstanding anything in this Section 3.9 to
--------
the contrary, but subject to Section 2.1 hereof, the Investors shall be
permitted to assign the rights to cause the Company to register Registrable
Securities to any transferee or assignee of Registrable Securities that is a
SOFTBANK Entity; provided, further, (A) the transferor shall, within ten (10)
days after such transfer, furnish to the Company written notice of the name and
address of such transferee or assignee and the securities with respect to which
such registration rights are being assigned and (B) such transferee shall agree
in writing to be subject to the terms of this Agreement.
3.10 Amendment or Waiver of Registration Rights. Any provision of this
Section 3 may be amended and the observance thereof may be waived (either
generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or
prospectively), only with the written consent of the Company, Xxxxxx, at least a
majority in interest of the Registrable Securities owned by the Series A
Investors, and at least a majority in interest of the Registrable Securities
owned by the Series B Investors, provided that any amendment or modification of
the registration rights of UA, Nova Scotia or Founder that would adversely
effect the rights of UA, Nova Scotia or Founder, as the case may be, shall
require the prior written consent of UA, Nova Scotia or Founder, as the case may
be. Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this Section 3.10 shall
be binding upon each Holder and the Company. By acceptance of any benefits
under this Agreement, Holders of Registrable Securities hereby agree to be bound
by the provisions hereunder.
3.11 Indemnification. In the event any Registrable Securities are included
in a registration statement under Sections 3.1, 3.2 or 3.3:
(a) To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify and
hold harmless each Holder, the partners, officers and directors of each Holder,
any underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act) for such Holder and each
person, if any, who controls such Holder or underwriter within the meaning of
the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, against any losses, claims, damages, or
liabilities (joint or several) to which they may become subject under the
Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state law, insofar as such
losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out
of or are based upon any of the following statements, omissions or violations
(collectively a "Violation") by the Company: (i) any untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in such registration
statement, including any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained
therein or any amendments or supplements thereto, (ii) the omission or alleged
omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein, or
necessary to make the statements therein not
13
misleading, or (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the
Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any state securities law or any Rule or
regulation promulgated under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any state
securities law in connection with the offering covered by such registration
statement; and the Company will reimburse each such Holder, partner, officer or
director, underwriter or controlling person for any legal or other expenses
reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any
such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, the Company
shall not be liable in any such case for any such loss, claim, damage, liability
or action to the extent that it arises out of or is based upon a Violation which
occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished
expressly for use in connection with such registration by such Holder, partner,
officer, director, underwriter or controlling person of such Holder.
(b) To the extent permitted by law, each Holder will, if Registrable
Securities held by such Holder are included in the securities as to which such
registration qualifications or compliance is being effected, indemnify and hold
harmless the Company, each of its directors and its officers, and each person,
if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, any
underwriter and any other Holder selling securities under such registration
statement or any of such other Holder's partners, directors or officers or any
person who controls such Holder, against any losses, claims, damages or
liabilities (joint or several) to which the Company or any such director,
officer, controlling person, underwriter or other such Holder, or partner,
director, officer or controlling person of such other Holder may become subject
under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state law,
insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect
thereto) arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in each case to the
extent (and only to the extent) that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and
in conformity with written information furnished by such Holder under an
instrument duly executed by such Holder and stated to be specifically for use in
connection with such registration; and each such Holder will reimburse any legal
or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company or any such director,
officer, controlling person, underwriter or other Holder, or partner, officer,
director or controlling person of such other Holder in connection with
investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if
it is judicially determined that there was such a Violation; provided, however,
that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 3.11(b) shall not apply
to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or
action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Holder, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided further, that in no event
shall any indemnity under this Section 3.11(b) exceed the net proceeds from the
offering received by such Holder.
(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section
3.11 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental
action), such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be
made against any indemnifying party under this Section 3.11, deliver to the
indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof and the
indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent
the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party
similarly noticed, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the indemnified party; provided, however, that an indemnified
party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, with the fees and expenses
to be paid by the indemnifying party, if representation of such indemnified
party by the counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate
due to actual or
14
reasonably likely differing interests between such indemnified party and any
other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The failure to
deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the
commencement of any such action, if materially prejudicial to its ability to
defend such action, shall relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to
the indemnified party under this Section 3.11, but the omission to so deliver
written notice to the indemnifying party will not relieve it of any liability
that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section
3.11.
(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 3.11 is held
by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party
with respect to any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to herein,
the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party
thereunder, shall to the extent permitted by applicable law contribute to the
amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss,
claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the
relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and of the indemnified
party on the other in connection with the Violation(s) that resulted in such
loss, claim, damage or liability, as well as any other relevant equitable
considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the
indemnified party shall be determined by a court of law by reference to, among
other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact
or the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the
indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties' relative intent,
knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such
statement or omission; provided, that, in no event shall any contribution by a
Holder hereunder exceed the proceeds from the offering received by such Holder.
(e) The obligations of the Company and Holders under this Section 3.11
shall survive completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in a
registration statement. No Indemnifying Party, in the defense of any such claim
or litigation, shall, except with the consent of each Indemnified Party, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, 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.
3.12 Rule 144 Reporting. With a view to making available to the Holders the
benefits of certain rules and regulations of the SEC which may permit the sale
of the Registrable Securities to the public without registration, the Company
agrees to use its best efforts to:
(a) Make and keep public information available, as those terms are
understood and defined in SEC Rule 144 or any similar or analogous Rule
promulgated under the Securities Act, at all times after the effective date of
the first registration 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 Exchange Act;
(c) So long as a Holder owns any Registrable Securities, furnish to
such Holder forthwith upon request: a written statement by the Company as to
its compliance with the reporting requirements of said Rule 144 of the
Securities Act, and of the Exchange Act (at
15
any time after it has become subject to such reporting requirements); a copy of
the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company; and such other
reports and documents as a Holder may reasonably request in availing itself of
any Rule or regulation of the SEC allowing it to sell any such securities
without registration.
3.13 Other Registration Rights. After the date hereof, the Company shall
not grant to any holder of securities of the Company or to any person as an
inducement to become a holder of securities of the Company, any registration
rights that have a priority greater than or that otherwise adversely affect the
registration rights of the Holders hereunder without the prior written consent
of the Holders of a majority in interest of the Registrable Securities,
excluding the Registrable Securities held by Founder; provided, however, that if
any of Founder, Xxxxxx, UA or Nova Scotia's registration rights are affected in
an adverse manner which is different from the manner in which all Holders'
registration rights are affected as a result of the grant of new registration
rights or the subordination of the Holders' registration rights pursuant to the
prior sentence of this Section 3.13, such Holder must consent in writing to the
grant of new registration rights or to the subordination of such Holder's
registration rights.
4. Covenants Of The Company.
4.1 Basic Financial Information and Reporting.
(a) The Company will maintain true books and records of account in
which full and correct entries will be made of all its business transactions

under generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied.

of the end of each such quarterly period, an unaudited consolidated statement of

made.
(d) The Company will furnish each Investor and Xxxxxx at least thirty
(30) days prior to the beginning of each fiscal year an annual budget and
operating plan for such fiscal year (and as soon as available, any subsequent
revisions thereto).
16
4.2 Inspection Rights. Each Investor and Xxxxxx shall have the right to
visit and inspect any of the properties of the Company or any of its
subsidiaries, and to discuss the affairs, finances and accounts of the Company
or any of its subsidiaries with its officers, and to review such information as
is reasonably requested all at such reasonable times and as often as may be
reasonably requested; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated
to provide access to information which it deems in good faith to be trade secret
or similar confidential information.
4.3 Confidentiality of Records. Each Investor, Founder and Xxxxxx agree
to use, and to use its best efforts to insure that its authorized
representatives use, the same degree of care as such Investor, Xxxxxx or Founder
uses to protect its own confidential information to keep confidential any
information furnished to it which the Company identifies as being confidential
or proprietary (so long as such information is not in the public domain), except
that such Investor and Xxxxxx may disclose such proprietary or confidential
information to any partner, subsidiary or parent of such Investor for the
purpose of evaluating its investment in the Company as long as such partner,
subsidiary or parent is advised of the confidentiality provisions of this
Section 4.3.
4.4 Reservation of Common Stock. The Company will at all times reserve
and keep available, solely for issuance and delivery upon the conversion of the
Series A Stock and Series B Stock, all Common Stock issuable from time to time
upon such conversion.
4.5 SEC Compliance. During any time that the Company is subject to the
reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the Company shall timely file all
required reports pursuant to the Exchange Act. Additionally, the Company shall
make available to Investors, Xxxxxx, Nova Scotia and UA the information
contemplated by Rule 144A. At such time that any stock held by an Investor,
Xxxxxx, Nova Scotia or UA is eligible for transfer pursuant to Rule 144(k), the

remove any restrictive legend from the applicable stock certificate at no cost

(including the representatives of the Investors) all stock options and other

that is no less favorable to the Company than as follows: no more than twenty-
17
five percent (25%) of such stock options and stock equivalents shall vest on
each anniversary of the date of grant.
4.10 Visitation Rights. In addition to its representation on the Board
of Directors, for so long as SOFTBANK Technology Ventures (or its affiliates)
hold at least ten percent (10%) of the Shares, including shares of Common Stock
issued upon conversion of the Shares, the Company shall allow one representative
designated by SOFTBANK Technology Ventures IV L.P. to attend all meetings of the
board and committees thereof in a nonvoting capacity, and in connection
therewith, the Company shall give such representative copies of all notices,
minutes, consents and other materials, financial or otherwise, which the Company
provides to its board of directors; provided, that, any such representative
shall agree to leave all or any portion of a meeting of the Board of Directors
or any committee thereof if allowing such representative to remain in such
meeting would result in a waiver of the attorney-client privilege or if, in the
reasonable good faith belief of the Board of Directors, allowing such
representative to remain in the meeting would otherwise result in a conflict of
interest.
4.11 Termination of Covenants. All covenants of the Company contained in
Section 4 of this Agreement shall expire and terminate as to each Investor,
Xxxxxx, Nova Scotia and UA on the effective date of the registration statement
pertaining to the Initial Offering.
5. Rights of First Offer.
5.1 Subsequent Offerings of Equity Securities. So long as the Investors
hold at least ten percent (10%) of the Shares (the "Investor Threshold"),
including shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Shares or so long
as Xxxxxx holds at least twenty percent (20%) (the "Xxxxxx Threshold") of the
shares of Common Stock acquired by it in the Merger, in the event the Company
proposes to issue any Equity Securities, including, without limitation, any
preferred stock (other than Equity Securities excluded by Section 5.6 hereof),
the Company shall first offer to sell all of such Equity Securities (the
"Offered Securities") to the Investors (provided that the Investors meet or
exceed the Investor Threshold) and to Xxxxxx (provided that Xxxxxx meets or
exceeds the Xxxxxx Threshold) on a pro rata basis, as set forth herein, and each
Investor and Xxxxxx shall have a right to purchase up to its pro rata share of
the Offered Securities. For purposes of this Section 5 only, each Investor's and
Xxxxxx'x pro rata share is equal to the ratio of (A) the number of shares of the
Company's Common Stock (including all shares of Common Stock issued or issuable
upon conversion of the Shares) which such Investor or Xxxxxx owns or is deemed
to own immediately prior to the offering of the Offered Securities to (B) the
total number of shares of the Company's outstanding Common Stock on a fully
diluted basis (including all shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon
conversion of the Shares and excluding all stock options and shares of Common
Stock issuable upon the exercise of such stock options) immediately prior to the
offering of the Offered Securities.
5.2 Exercise of Rights. The Company shall give each Investor and Xxxxxx
written notice of its intention to issue any Equity Securities, which notice
shall describe the Offered Securities, the price, and the terms and conditions
upon which the Company proposes to issue the Offered Securities. Each Investor
and Xxxxxx shall have fifteen (15) days from the receipt of such notice to agree
to purchase up to its pro rata share of the Offered Securities for the price and
upon the terms and conditions specified in the notice by giving written notice
to the Company
18
and stating therein the quantity of Offered Securities to be purchased.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to offer or
sell any Offered Securities to any Investor or to Xxxxxx if such sale would
cause the Company to be in violation of applicable federal securities laws by
virtue of such offer or sale.
5.3 Issuance of Offered Securities to Other Investors. If not all of the
Investors and Xxxxxx elect to purchase their pro rata share of the Offered
Securities, then the Company shall promptly notify in writing the Investors and
Xxxxxx who do so elect and shall offer such Investors and Xxxxxx the right to
acquire such unsubscribed shares. The Investors and Xxxxxx shall have ten (10)
days after receipt of such notice to notify the Company of their respective
election to purchase all or a portion thereof of the unsubscribed shares. If
the Investors and Xxxxxx fail to exercise in full their rights of first offer as
set forth herein, the Company shall have ninety (90) days thereafter to sell the
Offered Securities in respect of which such rights were not exercised, at a
price and upon terms and conditions no more favorable to the purchasers thereof
than specified in the Company's notice to the Investors and Xxxxxx pursuant to
Section 5.2 hereof. If the Company has not sold such Offered Securities within
one hundred twenty (120) days of the notice provided pursuant to Section 5.2,
the Company shall not thereafter issue or sell any Offered Securities, without
first offering such securities to the Investors and Xxxxxx in the manner
provided by this Section 5.
5.4 Termination of Rights of First Offer. The rights of first offer
established by this Section 5 shall not apply to, and shall terminate upon the
effective date of the registration statement pertaining to a Qualified Public
Offering.
5.5 Transfer of Rights of First Offer. The rights of first offer granted
to each Investor and Xxxxxx under this Section 5 may be transferred to the same
parties, subject to the same restrictions, as any transfer of registration
rights pursuant to Section 3.9.
5.6 Excluded Securities. The rights of first offer established by this
Section 5 shall have no application to any of the following Equity Securities:
(a) shares of Common Stock (and/or options, warrants or other Common
Stock purchase rights issued pursuant to such options, warrants or other rights)
issued or to be issued to employees, officers or directors of, or consultants or
advisors to the Company or any subsidiary, pursuant to stock purchase or stock
option plans or other arrangements that are approved by the Board of Directors,
including the representatives designated by the holders of the Shares but
excluding the Founders;
(b) stock issued pursuant to any rights or agreements outstanding as
of the date of this Agreement, options, warrants (including the Nova Scotia and
UA Warrants) and convertible promissory notes outstanding as of the date of this
Agreement; and stock issued pursuant to any such rights or agreements granted
after the date of this Agreement, provided, that, the rights of first offer
established by this Section 5 applied with respect to the initial sale or grant
by the Company of such rights or agreements;
(c) any Equity Securities issued for consideration other than cash
pursuant to a merger, consolidation, acquisition or similar business
combination;
19
(d) after the date hereof, any Equity Securities which in the
aggregate exceed ten percent (10%) of the Company's outstanding capital stock on
a fully diluted basis issued to a potential or existing customer or supplier or
other strategic relationship or issued in connection with a credit facility or
equipment lease transaction;
(e) shares of Common Stock issued in connection with any stock split,
stock dividend or recapitalization by the Company;
