lower
price, the following provisions shall apply:
3
(i) For
the
purpose of the provisions contained in Article IV of the 5th
Restated
Certificate, as such certificate may be amended and/or restated from time
to
time, in respect of dividends (Section II-1), liquidation preference (Section
II-2) and conversion (Section II-3), including, for the avoidance of doubt,
Conversion Rate (Subsection (i)), automatic conversion (Subsection (ii) and
conversion price adjustments (Subsection (iv)), the "Original Series C Issue
Price" of each Series C Preferred Stock held by the Holder shall be deemed
to be
such reduced Exercise Price and not as defined in subsection (i) of Section
II-2
thereof.
(ii) Should
the event described in the beginning of the second to last sentence of Article
IV, Section II-2, subsection (i) of the 5th
Restated
Certificate occur ("the assets and funds thus distributed among the holders
of
the Series C Preferred Stock shall be insufficient to permit the payment to
such holders of the full aforesaid C Preference Amount"), then for the purpose
of the last part of that sentence ("distributed ratably among the holders
of the
Series C Preferred Stock in proportion to the amount of such stock owned
by each
such holder"), "the amount of such stock owned by" the Holder relative to
all of
the issued and outstanding shares of such stock, shall be deemed to be equal
to
the fraction obtained by dividing
(x) the
aggregate Exercise Price actually paid by the Holder to the Corporation for
the
Series C Preferred Stock it owns, by (y) the aggregate amount actually paid
to
the Corporation by all
holders
of Series C Preferred Stock for such stock ("Holder's
Pro Rata Share").
(iii) With
respect to any vote, consent or waiver within the class of Series C Preferred
Stock, which is not
based on
an "as converted basis", the Holder shall be deemed to hold an amount of
shares
of Series C Preferred Stock which, when divided by the entire number of issued
and outstanding shares of such stock, will be equal to Holder's Pro Rata
Share.
3. Method
of Exercise; Payment.
(a) Cash
Exercise.
The
purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised by the Holder,
in
whole or in part, by the surrender of this Warrant (with the Notice of Exercise
form attached hereto as Exhibit A duly
executed) at the principal office of the Corporation, and by the payment
to the
Corporation, by cash, certified, cashier's or other check or method acceptable
to the Corporation, of an amount equal to the applicable Exercise Price
multiplied by the number of the Warrant Shares being purchased.
(b)
Net
Exercise.
In lieu
of the payment method set forth in Section 3(a) above, the Holder may elect
to
exchange the Warrant for a number of the applicable class of Warrant Shares
equal to the number of Warrant Shares computed using the following
formula:
X
=
Y(A-B)
A
4
Where
X
=
the number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the
Holder.
|
Y
=
the number of Warrant Shares purchasable under the Warrant (adjusted
to
the date of such calculation, but excluding Warrant Shares already
issued
under this Warrant).
|
A
=
the Fair Market Value (as defined below) of one Warrant
Share.
|
B
=
Exercise Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculation).
“Fair
Market Value”
of a
Warrant Share shall mean:
(i)
|
In
the event of an M&A Transaction - the price per Warrant Share
(assuming conversion of the Warrant Shares, adjusted to the date
of such
calculation, but excluding those shares already issued under this
Warrant)
as determined in such transaction.
|
(ii) |
In
the event of an IPO - the public offering price (before deduction
of
discounts, commissions or expenses) in such offering.
|
(iii) |
If
the Corporation's Common Stock are publicly traded on a national
securities exchange, NASDAQ/NMS, over-the-counter or the like - the
last
closing trade price of the Common Stock.
|
(iv) |
If
the Fair Market Value for a Warrant Share cannot be determined in
the
manner set forth above in items (i)- (iii), then the Fair Market
Value of
a Warrant Share shall be as determined in good faith by the Corporation
and the Holder or, if they fail to so determine, by the Corporation's
auditor.
|
(c) Conditional
Exercise.
In the
event that the Holder intends to exercise this Warrant upon a Realization
Event,
the Holder shall be entitled to condition such exercise on the consummation
of a
Realization Event and shall indicate same on the Notice of Exercise and,
having
done so, the Holder will only be required to pay the applicable aggregate
Exercise Price if, and at such time as, the Realization Event is
consummated.
(d) Share
Certificates; Partial Exercise.
In the
event of any exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant, certificates
for the applicable class and amount of Warrant Shares so purchased shall

Fully Paid; Reservation of Shares.
All of
the Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of the rights represented by
this
Warrant will, upon issuance and receipt of the Exercise Price therefor, be
fully
paid and non-assessable, and free from allliens and charges. At all times
when
this Warrant may be exercised, to the extent technically possible, the
Corporation shall have authorized and reserved for issuance sufficient shares,
free from pre-emptive rights, of its Warrant Shares to provide for the exercise
of the rights represented by this Warrant, so that this Warrant may be exercised

5. Adjustments.
The
number and kind of securities purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant
and
the Exercise Price therefor shall be subject to adjustment from time to time
upon the occurrence of certain events, as follows:
(a) Reclassification.
In case
of any reclassification or change of the applicable class of Warrant Shares
issuable at such time (other than a change in par value, or as a result of
a
subdivision or combination), the Corporation shall execute and issue a new
Warrant, providing that the Holder shall have the right to exercise such
new
Warrant, and procure upon such exercise and payment of the same aggregate
Exercise Price, in lieu of such applicable class of Warrant Shares theretofore
issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, the kind and amount of shares, other
securities, money and property receivable upon such reclassification or change,
by a holder of an equivalent number of such applicable class of Warrant Shares.
Such new warrant shall provide for adjustments that shall be as nearly
equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this
Section
5 or as shall be necessary in order to ensure the integrity of the Holder’s
economic rights. The provisions of this subsection (a) shall similarly apply
to
successive reclassifications or changes.
(b) Share
Splits, Dividends, Combinations and Reorganizations.
In the
event that the Corporation shall at any time subdivide the outstanding
applicable class of Warrant Shares or shall issue a share dividend on its
outstanding applicable class of Warrant Shares, the number of Warrant Shares
issuable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such subdivision
or
to the issuance of such share dividend shall be proportionately increased,
and
the Exercise Price shall be proportionately decreased. In the event that
the
Corporation shall at any time combine the outstanding shares of the applicable
class of Warrant Shares, the number of shares of the applicable class of
Warrant
Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such
combination shall be proportionately decreased, and the Exercise Price shall
be
proportionately increased. Similar equitable adjustments will be made in
the
event of an M&A Transaction as well as any spin-off, split-off or other
capital change transaction by the Corporation.
(c) General
Protection.
The
Corporation will not by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation or
By-laws
or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger,
dissolution, issuance or sale of its 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, but will at all times in good faith assist
in
the carrying out of all provisions hereof and in taking of all such actions
and
making all such adjustments as may be necessary or appropriate in order to
protect the rights of the Holder against any impairment.

the
Holder setting forth, in reasonable detail, the event requiring the adjustment,
the amount of the adjustment, the method by which such adjustment was
calculated, and the number and class of shares of the applicable class of
Warrant Shares which may be purchased and the Exercise Price therefor after
giving effect to such adjustment.
7. Fractional
Shares.
This
Warrant may not be exercised for fractional shares. In the event of fractional
shares, the Corporation shall round the number of Warrant Shares issuable
upon
such exercise down to the nearest whole share and shall pay an amount in
cash to
the Holder equal to any such fractional share.

which signing will obligate each said party as if it was originally signed
by
such party ("Proxy").

derogate from the obligations and undertakings of the Lenders and Co-lenders
under this Agreement.

beneficiaries, and in such case, Clause 7 shall apply mutatis
mutandis

by

Dear
Sirs,
RE:
Warrant
Clarification
Reference
is hereby made to that certain warrant to purchase shares of Preferred B
Stock,
US$ 0.001 par value each, of Wintegra Inc., a Delaware corporation
("Series
B Preferred Stock"
and
"Company",
respectively), issued by Company to Plenus Technologies Ltd. ("Plenus")
as
part of a credit financing closed on June 4, 2002 (the "Warrant"
and
"Transaction",
respectively). All terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings
ascribed thereto in the Warrant.
Section
2(c) of the Warrant provides, in its second paragraph, that upon the occurrence
of certain events described therein, the Exercise Price will be automatically
reduced to the New Exercise Price.
At
your
request, we hereby express our understanding and agreement that should the
Exercise Price indeed be so reduced and the Warrant exercised at such reduced
price, the following provisions shall apply:
1. |
For
the purpose of the provisions contained in Article IV.II of the Company's
Fifth Restated and Amended Certificate of Incorporation, as such
certificate may be amended and/or restated from time to time (the
"Certificate"),
in respect of dividends (Section 1), liquidation preference (Section
2)
and conversion (Section 3), including, for the avoidance of doubt,
Conversion Rate (Subsection (i)), automatic conversion (Subsection
(ii))
and conversion price adjustments (Subsection (iv)), the "Original
Series B
Issue Price" of each Series B Preferred Stock held by Plenus shall
be
deemed to be such reduced Exercise Price and not
as
defined in subsection 2(ii) thereof.
|
2. |
Should
the event described in the beginning of the last sentence of Article
IV.II, Section 2(ii) of the Certificate occur ("the assets and funds
thus
distributed among the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock shall
be insufficient to permit the payment to such holders of the full
aforesaid B Preference Amount"), then for the purpose of the last
part of
that sentence ("distributed ratably among the holders of the Series
B
Preferred Stock in proportion to the amount of such stock owned by
each
such holder"), "the amount of such stock owned by" Plenus relative
to all
of the issued and outstanding shares of such stock, shall be deemed
to be
equal to the fraction obtained by dividing
(x) the aggregate Exercise Price actually paid by Plenus to the Company
for the Series B Preferred Stock it owns, by (y) the aggregate amount
actually paid to the Company by all
holders of Series B Preferred Stock for such stock ("Plenus'
Pro Rata Share").
|
3. |
With
respect to any vote, consent or waiver within the class of Series
B
Preferred Stock, which is not
based on an "as converted basis", Plenus shall be deemed to hold
an amount
of shares of Series B Preferred Stock which, when divided by the
entire
number of issued and outstanding shares of such stock, will be equal
to
Plenus' Pro Rata Share.
|
If
this
clarification accurately sets forth your understanding and agreement as well,
please so acknowledge by signing a copy of this letter, in the space provided,
and returning such signed copy to us.
Sincerely,
Plenus

3. Method
of Exercise; Payment.
(a) Cash
Exercise.
The
purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised by the Holder,

whole or in part, by the surrender of this Warrant (with the Notice of Exercise
form attached hereto as Exhibit A duly
executed) at the principal office of the Company, and by the payment to the
Company, by cash, certified, cashier's or other check acceptable to the Company,
of an amount equal to the applicable aggregate Exercise Price of the applicable
class of Warrant Shares being purchased.
-4-
(b)
Net
Exercise.
In the
event of a Realization Event and in lieu of the payment method set forth
in
Section 3(a) above, the Holder may elect to exchange the Warrant for a number
of
the applicable class of Warrant Shares equal to the number of Warrant Shares
computed using the following formula:
X
=
Y
(A-B)
A
Where
X = the number of Warrant Shares (adjusted to the date of such
calculation, but excluding those shares already issued under this
Warrant)
to be issued to the Holder.
|
Y
=
the number of Warrant Shares purchasable under the Warrant (adjusted
to
the date of such calculation, but excluding those shares already
issued
under this Warrant).
|
A
=
the Fair Market Value (as defined below) of one Warrant
Share.
|
B
=
Exercise Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculation).
|
“Fair
Market Value”
of
a Warrant Share shall mean:
|
(i)
|
In
the event of an M&A Transaction the price per Warrant Share (assuming
conversion of the Warrant Shares, adjusted to the date of such
calculation, but excluding those shares already issued under this
Warrant)
as determined in such transaction.
|
(ii) |
If
the exercise date is the date of closing of an IPO, then the public
offering price (before deduction of discounts, commissions or expenses)
in
such offering.
|
(iii)
|
In
the event that the Fair Market Value for a Warrant Share cannot
be
determined in the manner set forth above in items (i) and (ii),
then the
Fair Market Value of a Warrant Share shall be as determined by
the
Company’s Board of Directors in good
faith.
|
In
the
event of a cashless exercise under this Section 3(b), this Warrant must be
exercised for all the Warrant Shares and must be surrendered to the Company
along with the Notice of Exercise. After such exercise and receipt by the
Holder
of the appropriate amount of Warrant Shares, this Warrant shall be null and
void.
(c) Conditional
Exercise.
In the
event that the Holder intends to exercise this Warrant with respect to a
Realization Event, the Holder shall be entitled to condition such exercise
on
the consummation of a Realization Event and shall indicate as such on the
Notice
of Exercise form attached hereto as Exhibit A
and the
Holder will only be required to pay the applicable aggregate Exercise Price
at
such time as the Realization Event is consummated.
(d) Share
Certificates.
In the
event of any exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant, certificates
for the applicable class and amount of Warrant Shares so purchased shall
be
delivered to the Holder promptly and, unless this Warrant has been fully
exercised in accordance with Sections 3(a) or 3(b) hereof, a new Warrant
representing the balance of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this
Warrant shall not have been exercised shall also be issued to the Holder
within
such time.
-5-
4. Share
Fully Paid; Reservation of Shares.
All of
the Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of the rights represented by
this
Warrant will, upon issuance and receipt of the Exercise Price therefore,
be
fully paid and non-assessable, and free from all taxes, liens and charges
with
respect to the issue thereof. At all times when this Warrant may be exercised,
the Company shall have authorized and reserved for issuance sufficient shares,
free from pre-emptive rights, of its Warrant Shares to provide for the exercise
of the rights represented by this Warrant, so that this Warrant may be exercised
without additional authorization of Preferred Shares after giving effect
to all
other warrants, options, convertible securities and other rights to acquire
shares of the Company.
5. Adjustments.
The
number and kind of securities purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant
and
the Exercise Price therefore shall be subject to adjustment from time to
time
upon the occurrence of certain events, as follows:
(a) Reclassification.
In case
of any reclassification or change of the applicable class of Warrant Shares
issuable at such time (other than a change in par value, or as a result of
a
subdivision or combination), the Company shall execute a new Warrant, providing
that the Holder shall have the right to exercise such new Warrant, and procure
upon such exercise and payment of the same aggregate Exercise Price, in lieu
of
such applicable class of Warrant Shares theretofore issuable upon exercise
of
this Warrant, the kind and amount of shares, other securities, money and
property receivable upon such reclassification or change, by a holder of
an
equivalent number of such applicable class of Warrant Shares. Such new warrant
shall provide for adjustments that shall be as nearly equivalent as may be
practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Section 5 or as shall
be
necessary in order to ensure the integrity of the Holder’s economic rights. The
provisions of this subsection (a), shall similarly apply to successive
reclassifications or changes.
(b) Share
Splits, Dividends, Combinations and Reorganizations.
In the
event that the Company shall at any time subdivide the outstanding applicable
class of Warrant Shares or shall issue a share dividend on its outstanding
applicable class of Warrant Shares the number of Warrant Shares issuable
upon
exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such subdivision or to the
issuance of such share dividend shall be proportionately increased, and the
Exercise Price shall be proportionately decreased. In the event that the
Company
shall at any time combine the outstanding shares of the applicable class
of
Warrant Shares the number of shares of the applicable class of Warrant Shares
issuable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such combination
shall be proportionately decreased, and the Exercise Price shall be
proportionately increased, effective at the close of business on the date
of
such subdivision, share dividend or combination, as the case may be. Similar
equitable adjustments will be made in the event of a consolidation, merger
or
reorganization of the Company with or into, or a sale of all or substantially
all of the Company's assets, or substantially all of the Company's issued
and
outstanding share capital, to, any other company, or any other entity or
person,
other than a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company as well as any spin-off
or
split-off transaction by the Company.

(c) General
Protection.
The
Company will not by amendment of its By-Laws and/or the its Certificate of
Incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation,
merger, dissolution, issuance or sale of its securities or any other voluntary
action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the
terms
to be oberserved or performed hereunder, but will at all times in good faith
assist in the carrying out of all provisions hereof and in taking of all
such
actions and making all such adjustments as may be necessary or appropriate
in
order to protect the rights of the Holder against any impairment.
6. Notice
of Adjustments.
Whenever the number of shares of the applicable class of Warrant Shares
purchasable hereunder or the Exercise Price thereof shall be adjusted pursuant
to Section(s) 2 and 5 hereof, the Company shall provide written notice to
the
Holder setting forth, in reasonable detail, the event requiring the adjustment,
the amount of the adjustment, the method by which such adjustment was
calculated, and the number and class of shares of the applicable class of
Warrant Shares which may be purchased and the Exercise Price therefore after
giving effect to such adjustment.
7. Fractional
Shares.
This
Warrant may not be exercised for fractional shares. In the event of fractional
shares, the Company shall round the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon
such
exercise down to the nearest whole share and shall pay an amount in cash
to the
Holder equal to any such fractional share.
8. Representations
and Covenants of the Company.
The
Company represents and covenants to the Holder as follows:
(a) that
all
corporate actions on the part of the Company, its officers, directors and
shareholders necessary for the sale and issuance of the Warrant and the Warrant
Shares and the performance of the Company's obligations hereunder have been
taken and are effective as of the Effective Date. The Company undertakes
that
all corporate actions on the part of the Company, its officers, directors
and
shareholders will be taken as necessary for the creation, sale and issuance
of
the Series B Preferred Shares, such actions will be taken as promptly as
practicable following an adjustment to the Exercise Price pursuant to Sections
2(c) and 5 above which results in an insufficient amount of Series B Preferred
Shares being held in reserve by the Company.
(b) that
as
of the date of exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall record the Holder,
any Permitted Transferees of the Holder and any Co-lender of the Holder,
in the
Company’s internal share register in accordance with the applicable law, as the
owners, direct or beneficial, of the Warrant Shares pursuant to the names
provided by the Holder in Section 4 on the Notice of Exercise (Exhibit A)
to
this Warrant.
9. Representations
and Warranties by the Holder.
The
Holder represents and warrants to the Company as follows:
-7-
(a) The
Holder is acquiring the Warrant for investment for its own account, not as
a
nominee or agent, and not with the current view to, or for resale in connection
with, any distribution thereof, except with respect to its Co-lenders and/or
Permitted Transferees in accordance with Section 11(b) below.
(b) The
Holder understands that the Warrant and the Warrant Shares have not been
registered under the Act, or another comparable law, by reason of their issuance
in a transaction exempt from registration under the Act pursuant to
Section 4(2) thereof, and that they must be held by the Holder
indefinitely, and that the Holder must therefore bear the economic risk of
such
investment indefinitely, unless the Warrant Shares have been registered for
resale under the Act or such resale is exempted from such registration. The
Holder is aware of the provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the Act and
its requirements for the resale of the Warrant Shares which permits limited
resale of shares purchased in a private placement subject to the satisfaction
of
certain conditions, including, among other things, the existence of a public
market for the shares, the availability of certain current public information
about the Company, the resale occurring not less than one year after a party
has
purchased and paid for the security to be sold, the sale being effected through
a “broker’s transaction” or in transactions directly with a “market maker” and
the number of shares being sold during any three-month period not exceeding
specified limitations. The Holder further understands that the Warrant Shares
have not been qualified under any state or non-U.S. securities law. The Holder
understands that no public market now exists for any of the Warrant Shares
and/or the Warrant and that the Company has made no assurances that a public
market will ever exist for the Company’s shares.
(c) The
Holder has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters
that
it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the purchase of this
Warrant
and the shares of the applicable class of Warrant Shares purchasable pursuant
to
the terms of this Warrant and of protecting its interests in connection
therewith.
(d) The
Holder is able to bear the economic risk of the purchase of the shares of
the
applicable class of Warrant Shares pursuant to the terms of this Warrant
including an entire loss of the value of such investment.
(e)
The
Holder understands that the Warrant and the Warrant Shares have not been
registered under the Act, in part, by reason of a specific exemption from
the
registration provisions of the Act, the availability of which depends upon,
among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent and the
accuracy of the Holder’s representations as expressed herein. If
Holder, any
Permitted Transferee of the Holder and any Co-lender of the Holder, is
a
resident or citizen of the United States or the offer of the Warrant Shares
was
made to the Holder, any
Permitted Transferee of the Holder and any Co-lender of the Holder, while
such person or entity was in the United States, then the Holder,
any
Permitted Transferee of the Holder and any Co-lender of the Holder, is
an
“accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a) promulgated under the
United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities
Act”).
(f) If
the
Holder,
any
Permitted Transferee of the Holder and any Co-lender of the Holder
is not a
resident or citizen of the United States and the offer of the Warrant Shares
was
not made to the Holder, any
Permitted Transferee of the Holder and any Co-lender of the Holder
while
the Holder,
any
Permitted Transferee of the Holder and any Co-lender of the Holder
was in
the United States, then the Holder,
any
Permitted Transferee of the Holder and any Co-lender of the Holder
acknowledge and agree that the offer and sale of the Warrant Shares is being
made in reliance upon Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act and
that
the offer and sale of the Warrant Shares constitutes an “offshore transaction”
within the meaning of Regulation S, as amended from time to time.
-8-
10. Restrictive
Legend.
The
shares of the applicable class of Warrant Shares shall be stamped or imprinted
with the following legend:
THE
SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT
AND
HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED
(THE
“ACT”). SUCH SHARES MAY NOT BE SOLD OR TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH
REGISTRATION STATEMENT IN EFFECT WITH RESPECT TO THE SECURITIES UNDER SUCH
ACT UNLESS
THE COMPANY RECEIVES AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO IT STATING
THAT SUCH SALE OR TRANSFER IS EXEMPT FROM THE REGISTRATION AND PROSPECTUS
DELIVERY REQUIRED OF THE SAID ACT AND IS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE BY LAWS AND
THE
CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION OF THE COMPANY AS MAY BE AMENDED FROM TIME TO
TIME.
11. Restrictions
Upon Transfer and Removal of Legend.
(a) The
Company need not register a transfer of this Warrant or the Warrant Shares
bearing the restrictive legend set forth in Section 10 hereof, unless the
conditions specified in such legend are satisfied and the transferees provide
the Company with written representations required pursuant to the Act for
such
transfer and such transferees agree to be bound by the terms and conditions
of
this Warrant. The Company may also instruct its transfer agent not to register
the transfer of the shares of Warrant Shares unless the conditions set forth
in
the previous sentence are satisfied. In no event shall the Holder, its Permitted
Transferees or any of its Co-lenders transfer this Warrant to a competitor
of
the Company that operates in the same field of business as the Company. Any
transfer of the Warrant Shares is subject to the Company's Certificate of
Incorporation.
(b) Notwithstanding
the provisions of paragraph (a) above and subject to the Certificate of
Incorporation of the Company then in effect with respect to the Warrant Shares,
no opinion of counsel or "no-action" letter or approval of the Company or
its
shareholders or requirement or approval from any other third party shall
be
necessary for a transfer of this Warrant, or any part thereof, or of the
Warrant
Shares, without consideration to: (i) any Permitted Transferee of the Holder,
or
(ii) any other Co-lender, provided
that any
such Permitted Transferee or Co-lender shall have executed an irrevocable
proxy
to the Holder, in the same form attached to that certain Loan Agreement between
the Company, the Holder and other, dated June 4, 2002
-9-
(c)
All
transfers of this Warrant shall be accompanied by an executed warrant transfer
deed in the form of transfer, under which the transferee undertakes to be
bound
by all obligations of the Holder under this Warrant. The form of the deed

transfer and the Proxy attached hereto as Exhibit
B.
12. Rights
of Shareholders.
No
holder of this Warrant shall be entitled, as a Warrant holder, to vote or
receive dividends or be deemed the holder of the shares of the applicable
class
of Warrant Shares or any other securities of the Company which may at any
time

contained herein be construed to confer upon the holder of this Warrant,
as
such, any of the rights of a shareholder of the Company or any right to vote
for
the election of directors or upon any matter submitted to shareholders at
any
meeting thereof, or to give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether

change

notice of meetings, or to receive dividends or subscription rights or otherwise
until the Warrant shall have been exercised and the shares of the applicable
class of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise hereof shall have become
deliverable, as provided herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the
exercise of this Warrant, in the event that the rights of anti-dilution or
price-protection attached to the Warrant Shares shall be inferior to the
rights
of anti-dilution or price protection currently granted to the holders of
the
Series B Preferred Shares as set forth in the Certificate of Incorporation
of
the Company currently in effect on the date hereof, then the Holder shall
be
entitled to receive the same anti-dilution or price protection rights on
the
Warrant Shares as currently granted to the holders of the Series B Preferred
Shares on the date hereof.

of the
Collateral at any public or private (to the extent to portion of the Collateral
being privately sold is of a kind that is customarily sold on a recognized
market or the subject of widely distributed standard price
quotations)
sale in
accordance with the UCC and the Collateral Agent, as collateral agent for
and
representative of the Secured Parties, shall be entitled, for the purpose
of
bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or
any
portion of the Collateral sold at any such sale made in accordance with the
UCC,
to use and apply any of the Secured Obligations as a credit on account of
the
purchase price for any Collateral payable by the Collateral Agent at such
sale.
Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely free
from any claim or right on the part of the Grantor, subject to Grantor's
certain
liens in favor of Bank Leumi USA, as set forth above and the Grantor hereby
waives (to the extent permitted by applicable law)
all
rights of redemption and/or stay which it now has or may at any time in the
future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted.
The Grantor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by
law,
at least ten (10) days notice to such Grantor of the time and place of any
public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall
constitute reasonable notification. The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated
to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given.
The Collateral Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to
time by
announcement at the time and place fixed therefore, and such sale may, without
further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned.
The
Grantor agrees that it would not be commercially unreasonable for the Collateral
Agent to dispose of the Collateral or any portion thereof by using Internet
sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the
Collateral or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match
buyers and sellers of assets. The Grantor
hereby waives any claims against the Collateral Agent arising by reason of
the
fact that the price at which any Collateral may have been sold at such a
private
sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale,
even if the Collateral Agent accepts the first offer received and does not
offer
such Collateral to more than one offeree. If the proceeds of any sale or
other
disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay all the Secured
Obligations, the Grantor shall be liable for the deficiency and the fees
of any
attorneys employed by the Collateral Agent to collect such deficiency.
The Grantor
further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section
will cause irreparable injury to the Collateral Agent, that the Collateral
Agent
has no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence,
that each and every covenant contained in this Section shall be specifically
enforceable against the Grantor, and the Grantor hereby waives and agrees
not to
assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants
except for a defense that no default has occurred giving rise to the Secured
Obligations becoming due and payable prior to their stated maturities. Nothing
in this Section shall in any way alter the rights of the Collateral Agent
hereunder.
19
(c) The
Collateral Agent may sell the Collateral without giving any warranties as
to the
Collateral. The Collateral Agent may specifically disclaim or modify any
warranties of title or the like, except that the Collateral Agent may not
disclaim or modify a warranty as to its claim to the Collateral pursuant
to this
Agreement. This procedure will not be considered to adversely effect the
commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral
(d) The
Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to xxxxxxxx any of the
Collateral.
(e) Upon
the
occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, provided that
the
Event of Default has not been cured within seven (7) days, all amounts and
proceeds (including checks and other instruments) received by the Grantor
in
respect of amounts due to such Grantor in respect of the Collateral or any
portion thereof shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Collateral
Agent hereunder, shall be segregated from other funds of such Grantor and
shall
be forthwith paid over or delivered to the Collateral Agent in the same form
as
so received (with any necessary endorsement)
to be
held as cash Collateral and applied then or at any time against the Secured
Obligations then due and owing. The Grantor shall
not, without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent, adjust, settle
or compromise the amount or payment of any such amount or release wholly
or
partly any obligor with respect thereto or allow any credit or discount
thereon.
6.2 Application
of Proceeds.
Except
as
expressly provided elsewhere in this Agreement, all proceeds received by
the
Collateral Agent in respect of any sale, any collection from, or other
realization upon all or any part of the Collateral shall be applied in full
or
in part by the Collateral Agent against, the Secured Obligations in the
following order of priority: first,
to the
payment of all costs and expenses of such sale, collection or other realization,
including reasonable compensation to the Collateral Agent and its agents
and
counsel, and all other expenses, liabilities and advances made or incurred
by
the Collateral Agent in connection therewith, and all amounts for which the
Collateral Agent is entitled to indemnification under the Transaction Documents
(in its capacity as the Collateral Agent) and all advances made by the
Collateral Agent hereunder for the account of the applicable Grantor, and
to the
payment of all costs and expenses paid or incurred by the Collateral Agent
in
connection with the exercise of any right or remedy hereunder or under any
Transaction Document, all in accordance with the terms hereof or thereof;
second,
to the
extent of any excess of such proceeds, to the payment of all other Secured
Obligations for the ratable benefit of the Secured Party; and third,
to the
extent of any excess of such proceeds, to the payment to or upon the order
of
such Grantor or to whosoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same
or as
a court of competent jurisdiction may direct.
6.3 Sales
on Credit.
If
Collateral Agent sells any of the Collateral upon credit, Grantor will be
credited only with payments actually made by purchaser and received by
Collateral Agent and applied to indebtedness of the Purchaser. In the event
the
purchaser fails to pay for the Collateral, Collateral Agent may resell the
Collateral and Grantor shall be credited with proceeds of the sale.
6.4 Investment
Related Property.
(a) The
Grantor recognizes that, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the
Securities Act of 1933 and applicable state securities laws, the Collateral
Agent may be compelled, with respect to any sale of all or any part of the
Investment Related Property conducted without prior registration or
qualification of such Investment Related Property under the Securities Act
and/or such state securities laws, to limit purchasers to those who will
agree,
among other things, to acquire the Investment Related Property for their
own
account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale
thereof. The Grantor
acknowledges that any such private sale may be at prices and on terms less
favorable than those obtainable through a public sale without such restrictions
(including a public offering made pursuant to a registration statement under
the
Securities Act)
and,
notwithstanding such circumstances, the Grantor
agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a
commercially reasonable manner and that the Collateral Agent shall have no
obligation to engage in public sales and no obligation to delay the sale
of any
Investment Related Property for the period of time necessary to permit the
issuer thereof to register it for a form of public sale requiring registration
under the Securities Act or under applicable state securities laws, even
if such
issuer would, or should, agree to so register it. If the Collateral Agent
determines to exercise its right to sell any or all of the Investment Related
Property, upon written request, the Grantor
shall and shall cause each issuer of any Pledged Stock to be sold hereunder,
each partnership and each limited liability company from time to time to
furnish
to the Collateral Agent all such information as the Collateral Agent may
request
in order to determine the number and nature of interest, shares or other
instruments included in the Investment Related Property which may be sold
by the
Collateral Agent in exempt transactions under the Securities Act and the
rules
and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder, as
the
same are from time to time in effect.
20
(b) Upon
the
occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, which
Event of Default was not cured within seven (7) days as of the delivery of
a
written notice from the Collateral Agent, the
Collateral Agent shall have the right to apply the balance from the Grantor
Account or instruct the bank at which Grantor Account is maintained to pay
the
balance of Grantor Account to or for the benefit of the Collateral Agent,
all in
accordance with that certain Account Control Agreement between Grantor and
Collateral Agent, dated the date hereof.
6.5 Intellectual
Property.
(a) Anything
contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, upon the occurrence and
during
the continuation of an Event of Default, which
Event of Default was not cured within seven (7) days as of the delivery of
a
written notice from the Collateral Agent:
(i) |
the
Collateral Agent shall have the right (but not the obligation)
to
bring suit or otherwise commence any action or proceeding in the
name of
the Grantor, the Collateral Agent or otherwise, in the Collateral
Agent's
sole discretion, to enforce any Intellectual Property, in which
event such
Grantor shall, at the request
of
the Collateral Agent, do any and all lawful acts and execute any
and all
documents required by the Collateral Agent in aid of such enforcement
and
such Grantor shall promptly, upon demand, reimburse and indemnify
the
Collateral Agent as provided in the Transaction Documents in connection
with the exercise of its rights under this Section, and, to the
extent
that the Collateral Agent shall elect not to bring suit to enforce
any
Intellectual Property as provided in this Section, the Grantor
agrees to
use all reasonable measures, whether by action, suit, proceeding
or
otherwise, to prevent the infringement of any of the Intellectual
Property
by others and for that purpose agrees to diligently maintain any
action,
suit or proceeding against any Person so infringing as shall be
necessary
to prevent such infringement;
|
21
(ii) |
upon
written demand from the Collateral Agent, the Grantor shall grant,
assign,
convey or otherwise transfer to the Collateral Agent all of such
Grantor's
right, title and interest
in
and to the Intellectual Property and shall execute and deliver
to the
Collateral Agent such documents as are necessary or appropriate
to carry
out the intent and purposes of this Agreement;
|
(iii) |
the
Grantor agrees that such an assignment and/or recording shall be
applied
to reduce the Secured Obligations outstanding only to the extent
that the
Collateral Agent receives cash proceeds or the equivalent in respect
of
the sale of, or other realization upon, the Intellectual Property;
|
(iv) |
within
five (5)
business days after written notice from the Collateral Agent, the Grantor
shall make available to the Collateral Agent, to the extent within
such
Grantor's power and authority, such personnel in such Grantor's
employ on
the date of such Event of Default as the Collateral Agent may reasonably
designate, by name, title or job responsibility, to permit such
Grantor to
continue, directly or indirectly, to produce, advertise and sell
the
products and services
sold or delivered by such Grantor under or in connection with the
Trademarks, Trademark Licenses, such persons to be available to
perform
their prior functions on the Collateral Agent's behalf and to be
compensated by the Collateral Agent at such Grantor's expense on
a per
diem, pro-rata basis consistent with the salary and benefit structure
applicable to each as of the date of such Event of Default;
|
(v) |
the
Collateral Agent shall have the right to notify, or require the
Grantor to
notify, any obligors
with respect to amounts due or to become due to such Grantor in
respect of
the Intellectual Property, of the existence of the security interest
created herein, to direct such obligors to make payment of all
such
amounts directly to the Collateral Agent, and, upon such notification
and
at the expense of such Grantor, to enforce collection of any such
amounts
and to adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment thereof,
in the
same manner and to the same extent as such Grantor might have
done;
|
(vi) |
all
amounts and proceeds (including checks and other instruments) received
by
the Grantor in respect of amounts due to such Grantor in respect
of the
Collateral or any portion thereof shall be received in trust for
the
benefit of the Collateral Agent hereunder, shall be segregated
from other
funds of such Grantor and shall be forthwith paid over or delivered
to the
Collateral Agent in the same form as so received (with any necessary
endorsement)
to
be held as cash Collateral and applied then or at any time against
the
Secured Obligations then due and owing;
and
|
22
(b) the
Grantor shall
not, without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent, adjust, settle
or compromise the amount or payment of any such amount or release wholly
or
partly any obligor with respect thereto or allow any credit or discount thereon.
If
(i) an
Event of Default shall have occurred and, by reason of cure, waiver,
modification, amendment or otherwise, no longer be continuing, (ii) no other
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (iii) an assignment
or
other transfer to the Collateral Agent of any rights, title and interests
in and
to the Intellectual Property shall have been previously made other than in
accordance with Section 4 of this Agreement, and (iv) the Secured Obligations
shall not have become immediately due and payable according to the Credit
Agreement, upon the written request of the Grantor, the Collateral Agent
shall
promptly execute and deliver to such Grantor, at such Grantor's sole cost
and
expense, such assignments or other transfer as may be necessary to reassign
to
such Grantor any such rights, title and interests as may have been assigned
to
the Collateral Agent as aforesaid, subject to any disposition thereof that
may
have been made by the Collateral Agent (in such event, the Collateral Agent
shall deliver to the Grantor all of the funds or the equivalent, paid to
Collateral Agent in consideration for any such disposition); provided, after
giving effect to such reassignment, the Collateral Agent's security interest
granted pursuant hereto, as well as all other rights and remedies of the
Collateral Agent granted hereunder, shall continue to be in full force and
effect; and provided further, the rights, title and interests so reassigned
shall be free and clear of any Liens granted by or on behalf of the Collateral
Agent and the Collateral Agents.
Solely
for the purpose of enabling the Collateral Agent to exercise rights and remedies
under this Section 6 and at such time as the Collateral Agent shall be lawfully
entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, the Grantor hereby grants
to the
Collateral Agent, to the extent it has the right to do so, an irrevocable,
nonexclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other
compensation to such Grantor),
subject, in the case of Trademarks, to sufficient rights to quality control
and
inspection in favor of such Grantor to avoid the risk of invalidation of
said
Trademarks, to use, operate under, license, or sublicense any Intellectual
Property now owned or hereafter acquired by such Grantor, and wherever the
same
may be located, such license to terminate upon termination of this Agreement
and
the payment in full of the Secured Obligations.
SECTION 7. |
COLLATERAL
AGENT.

The
Collateral Agent has been appointed to act as Collateral Agent hereunder
by each
Secured Party either pursuant to the Transaction Documents or by their
acceptance of the benefits hereof. The Collateral Agent shall be obligated,
and
shall have the right hereunder, to make demands, to give notices, to exercise
or
refrain from exercising any rights, and to take or refrain from taking any
action (including, without limitation, the release or substitution of
Collateral),
solely
in accordance with this Agreement and the Credit Agreement. Without the written
consent of the Collateral Agent that would be affected thereby, no amendment,
modification, termination, or consent shall be effective if the effect thereof
would release all or substantially all of the Collateral except as expressly
provided herein. In furtherance of the foregoing provisions of this Section,
each Secured Party, by its acceptance of the benefits hereof, agrees that
it
shall have no right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral
hereunder, it being understood and agreed by such Secured Party that all
rights
and remedies hereunder may be exercised solely by the Collateral Agent for
the
benefit of each Secured Party in accordance with the terms of this Section.
23
SECTION 8. |
TERM
OF SECURITY INTEREST; TRANSFER OF SECURED
OBLIGATIONS.
|
This
Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and
shall remain in full force and effect until the termination of the Credit
Agreement, according to the terms therein, including without limitation the
payment in full of all amounts due to the Lenders, by executing a Letter
of
Termination (as defined and attached thereto) ("Credit
Termination"),
be
binding upon the Grantor, its successors and assigns, and inure, together
with
the rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent hereunder, to the benefit
of the
Collateral Agent and its successors, transferees and assigns. Upon a Credit
Termination, this Agreement and all schedules and exhibits attached hereto,
as
may be amended from time to time, shall immediately and automatically be
terminated, without any further action from the parties hereto. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, each Secured Party may assign or transfer
its
rights hereunder to a Permitted Transferee and the Permitted Transferee shall
thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted
to the
Secured Party herein or otherwise. Upon the payment in full of all Secured
Obligations, the cancellation or termination of the commitments and any other
contingent obligation included in the Secured Obligations, the security interest
granted hereby shall automatically terminate hereunder and of record and
all
rights to the Collateral shall automatically and immediately revert to Grantor.
Upon a Credit Termination, the Collateral Agent shall and hereby agree and
undertakes, at Grantor's expense and immediately upon Grantor's request,
to
execute and deliver to Grantor such documents as Grantor shall reasonably
request to evidence such termination. By executing this Agreement, the
Collateral Agent and Grantor hereby agree and undertake that in the event
that
the Credit Agreement is terminated according to the terms therein, including
without limitation the payment in full of all amounts due to the Lenders:
(i)
the security interest contemplated hereunder shall have no effect whatsoever,
and will be null and void, (ii) Grantor shall maintain and/or revert all
rights
in the Collateral, and (iii) this Agreement and any Control Agreement shall
be
terminated and cancelled.
SECTION 9 . |
STANDARD
OF CARE; COLLATERAL AGENT MAY
PERFORM
|
The
powers conferred on the Collateral Agent hereunder are solely to protect
its
interest in the Collateral and the interests of the Secured Parties and shall
not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Except for the exercise
of reasonable care in the custody of any Collateral in its possession and
the
accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, the Collateral Agent
shall have no duty as to any Collateral or as to the taking of any necessary
steps to preserve rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining
to
any Collateral. The Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have exercised
reasonable care in the custody and preservation of Collateral in its possession
if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which
the
Collateral Agent accords its own property. Neither the Collateral Agent nor
any
of its directors, officers, employees or agents shall be liable for failure
to
demand, collect or realize upon all or any part of the Collateral or for
any
delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose
of any Collateral upon the request of the Grantor or otherwise. If the Grantor
fails to perform any agreement contained herein, the Collateral Agent may
itself
perform, or cause performance of, such agreement, and the expenses of the
Collateral Agent incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by the
Grantor.

CONTROL AGREEMENT
Date:
July __, 2002
PARTIES
Plenus
Technologies Ltd. as Collateral Agent for the Lenders parties pursuant to
and as
such terms are defined in the Agreement (hereinafter defined)
(''Creditor'')
Wintegra
Inc. (“Customer'')
Bank
Leumi USA (''Bank'')
000
0xx
Xxxxxx,
Xxx Xxxx, XX 00000 (''Banking Office'')
BACKGROUND
Customer
hereby grants Creditor a security interest in accounts maintained by Bank
for
Customer and in all funds heretofore or hereafter deposited into that account,
including any interest earned thereon. The Parties are entering into this
agreement to perfect Creditor’s security interest in that account.
1. |
AGREEMENT
|
1. |
The
Account
|
Bank
represents and warrants to Creditor that Bank maintains accounts numbers:
2200474202, 2200474218 and 0200474228 (collectively, the ''Account'')
for
Customer at the Banking Office and that, as of the date hereof, Bank does
not
know of any claim to or interest in the Account, except for claims and interests
of the parties referred to in this agreement.
2. |
Control
of Account by Creditor
|
a. Bank,
Customer and Creditor agree that Bank will comply with written instructions
(''Orders'')
originated by Creditor in the form attached hereto as Schedule
2a,
for the
disposition of funds in the Account without further consent from Customer
and
without regard to any inconsistent or conflicting Orders given to Bank by
Customer. Creditor hereby undertakes to deliver Customer with a copy of such
Order simultaneously with the delivery of such Order to the Bank.
b. It
is
hereby clarified that for so long as Bank has not received an Order from
Creditor, Customer shall be fully entitled and authorized to withdraw and
deposit any and all funds available in the Account, subject to penalties
for
early withdraws of any time deposits.
c.
Creditor
agrees that before it attempts to give Bank any Orders concerning the Account,
Creditor shall deliver to the Banking Office such documentation as Bank may
from
time to time reasonably request to evidence the authority of those partners,
officers, employees or agents whom Creditor may designate to give
Orders.
3. |
Priority
of Creditor’s Security Interest; Rights Reserved by the
Bank
|
a.
Bank
agrees that all of its present and future rights against the Account are
subordinate to Creditor's security interest therein; provided,
however,
that
Creditor agrees that nothing herein subordinates or waives, and that Bank
expressly reserves, all of its present and future rights (whether described
as
rights of setoff, banker's lien, chargeback or otherwise, and whether available
to Bank under the law or under any other agreement between Bank and Customer
concerning the Account, or otherwise) with respect to: (i) items deposited
to
the Account and returned unpaid, whether for insufficient funds or for any
other
reason, and without regard to the timeliness of return of any such items;
(ii)
checks paid, or other payment orders executed in good faith against uncollected
funds in the Account provided Bank does not have reasonable cause to doubt
the
collectibility of such uncollected funds; (iii) claims of breach of the transfer
or presentment warranties arising under the applicable Uniform Commercial
Code
made against Bank in connection with items deposited to the Account; (iv)
Bank's
usual and customary charges for services rendered in connection with the
Account; and (v) liens in favor of the Bank, not to exceed US$ 50,000, to
secure
the Loan (as defined below).
b.
Except
as
otherwise required by law, Bank will not agree with any third party that
Bank
will comply with Orders originated by such third party.
4. |
Statements;
Notices of Adverse Claims
|
Bank
may
disclose to Creditor such information concerning the Account as Creditor
may
from time to time reasonably request; provided,
however,
that
Bank shall have no obligation to disclose to Creditor any information which
Bank
does not ordinarily make available to its depositors. Bank will use reasonable
efforts promptly to notify Creditor and Customer if any other person claims
that
it has a property interest in the Account. It is hereby acknowledged by the
parties hereto that Customer shall be entitled to record a first priority
lien
of certain assets to be purchased under a xxxx of sale, in favor of the Bank,
in
the amount of up to $50,000, which may be provided to Customer as a loan
from
the Bank (the "Loan").
5. |
Bank's
Responsibility
|
a. Except
for permitting a withdrawal in violation of section 2, above, Bank will not
be
liable to Creditor for complying with Orders from Customer that are received
by
Bank before Bank receives and has had a reasonable opportunity to act on
a
contrary Order from Creditor.
b. Bank
will
not be liable to Customer for complying with Orders originated by Creditor,
even
if Customer notifies Bank that Creditor is not legally entitled to issue
Orders,
unless Bank takes the action after it is served with an injunction, restraining
order or other legal process enjoining it from doing so, issued by a court
of
competent jurisdiction, and has had a reasonable opportunity to act on the
injunction, restraining order or other legal process.
c. This
agreement does not create any obligation of Bank except for those expressly
set
forth in this agreement. In particular, Bank need not investigate whether
Creditor is entitled under Creditor's agreements with Customer to give Orders.
Bank may rely on notices and communications it believes are given by the
appropriate party.
6. |
Indemnity
|
Creditor
and Customer will indemnify Bank, its officers, directors, employees, and
agents
against claims, liabilities, and expenses arising out of this agreement
(including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements), except to the extent
the claims, liabilities, or expenses are caused by Bank's gross negligence
or
willful misconduct. Creditor's and Customer's liability under this section
is
several and not joint.
7. |
Termination;
Survival
|
a. This
Agreement and
the obligations of the Bank to the Creditor pursuant to this Agreement shall
be
in effect as of the date hereof and shall be terminated immediately upon
the
receipt by the Bank of a Notice of Termination, in the form attached hereto
as
Schedule
7,
duly
executed by both Customer and Creditor.
b. The
termination of this
Agreement shall not terminate the Account or alter the obligations of the
Bank
to the Customer pursuant to any other agreement with respect to the Account.
2
c.
Upon
the termination of this Agreement, Creditor shall have no further right to
originate Orders concerning the Account, and Bank shall take such steps as
Customer may reasonably request to vest full ownership and control of the
Account, with Customer, including, but not limited to, transferring all of
the
assets in the Account, to other account(s) in the name of Customer, its
designees or affiliates.
d.
Sections 5, "Bank's Responsibility," and 6, "Indemnity," will survive
termination of this agreement.
8. |
Governing
Law
|
This
agreement and the Account will be governed by the laws of the State of New
York.
Bank may not change the law governing the Account without Creditor's express
written agreement, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld.
9. |
Entire
Agreement
|
This
agreement is the entire agreement and supersedes any prior agreements and
contemporaneous oral agreements of the parties concerning its subject
matter.
10. |
Amendments

No
amendment of, or waiver of a right under, this agreement will be binding
unless
it is in writing and signed by the party to be charged.
11. |
Severability
|
To
the
extent a provision of this agreement is unenforceable, this agreement will
be
construed as if the unenforceable provision were omitted.
12. |
Other
Agreements
|
For
so
long as this agreement remains in effect, transactions involving the Account
shall be subject, except to the extent inconsistent herewith, to the provisions
of such demand-deposit account agreements, disclosures, and fee schedules

Plenus

N.A.
Re:
Wintegra
Ltd. and Wintegra Inc.
Dear
Sirs,
We
have
acted as Israeli counsels to Wintegra Inc., a corporation duly
incorporated under the laws of Delaware, USA (the
"Company"),
and
Wintegra Ltd., a company duly incorporated under the laws of Israel
("Wintegra
Israel"),
in
connection with a loan transaction by and between the Company, Wintegra Israel,
Plenus Technologies Ltd., and Citibank N.A., including a Loan Agreement (the
"Loan
Agreement"),
Floating Charge Agreement (the "Floating
Charge Agreement"),
Pledge Agreement (the “Pledge
Agreement”),
and a
Warrant (the "Warrant")
(the
Loan Agreement including all of its exhibits, schedules and annexes, the
Floating Charge Agreement, the Pledge Agreement and the Warrant shall be
referred to herein as the “Transaction
Documents”).
All
capitalized terms as used herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them
in the
Transaction Documents, unless otherwise specifically stated in this Opinion
Letter. This opinion is being rendered to you pursuant to Section 1.5(vi)
of the
Loan Agreement.
In
furnishing this opinion we have reviewed the Transaction Documents, including
all exhibits and schedules thereto, the Third Restated Certificate of
Incorporation of the Company and all amendments thereto (collectively, the
"Corporate
Documents"),
the
corporate records, and all other documents of the Company which we deemed
necessary or appropriate.
In
all
such reviews, we have assumed the due execution and delivery of documents
by the
parties thereto (pursuant to due authorization), the genuineness of all
signatures, the authenticity and completeness of all documents submitted
to us
as originals, the conformity to original documents of documents submitted
to us
as certified or photostatic copies, the authenticity of the originals of
such
latter documents and the legal capacity of all signatories to such
documents.
As
to
factual matters which are not within our knowledge, we have relied upon the
representations by the Company and Wintegra Israel as to certain factual
matters, and have made no independent checks or verification of such factual
matters. Except as expressly set forth in this opinion, we have not undertaken
any independent investigation to determine the existence or absence of such
facts. We have not examined any records of any court, administrative tribunal
or
other similar entity in connection with our opinions expressed herein. Except
to
the extent expressly set forth herein or as we otherwise believe to be necessary
to our opinion, we have not undertaken any independent investigation to
determine the existence or absence of any fact, and no inference as to our
knowledge of the existence or absence of any fact should be drawn from our
representation of the Company or the rendering of the opinion set forth below.
Whenever our opinions herein are indicated to be based on "our knowledge",
it is
intended to signify that during the course of our engagement in connection
with
the transactions referred to herein, no information has come to our attention
that would give us actual knowledge of the existence or absence of such facts,
and such expression refers to the current actual knowledge of the attorneys
of
this firm who have worked on matters for the Company.
We
are
admitted to practice in the State of Israel and are not admitted to practice
in
the State of Delaware. However, for the limited purpose of this opinion,
we are
generally familiar with the laws of the State of Delaware, including the
Delaware General Corporation Law as it relates to corporate formalities,
all as
presently in effect. This opinion is limited to the laws of the State of
Israel
and, to the limited extent set forth above, the laws of the State of Delaware
as
such laws presently exist and to the facts as they presently presented. We
express no opinion with respect to the effect or the applicability of the
laws
of any other jurisdiction.
With
respect to certain matters within this opinion, we have relied upon the legal
opinions of Eitan, Pearl, Xxxxxx & Xxxxx-Xxxxx dated April 9th,
2001,
and the legal opinion of Xxxx Xxxx Xxxx & Freidenrich, LLP, dated April
9th,
2001,
as issued with respect to the latest equity investment in the Company.
Our
opinions below are further subject to the following qualifications and
exceptions:
(i) the
effect of bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium
or
other similar laws relating to or affecting the rights of creditors generally,
including, without limitation, laws relating to fraudulent transfers or
conveyances, preferences and equitable subordination;
(ii) the
effect of foreign laws, judicial determinations or governmental actions
affecting creditors' rights or the Company's performance of its obligations
under the Transaction Documents;
(iii) limitations
imposed by general principles of equity upon the availability of equitable
remedies or the enforcement of provisions of any documents referred to herein
and the effect of judicial decisions which have held that certain provisions
are
unenforceable where their enforcement would violate the implied covenant
of good
faith and fair dealing, or would be commercially unreasonable, or where their
breach is not material; and
(iv) our
opinions expressed herein are based upon current statutes, rules, regulations,
cases and official interpretive opinions which, in our experience, are normally
applicable to the type of transaction provided for in the
Agreement.
Except
as
otherwise indicated, our opinions expressed herein are rendered as of, and
are
based upon the facts in existence and known to us on the date
hereof.
Based
on
the foregoing, and subject to the foregoing, and subject to the limitations

that this corporation is authorized to issue is Forty Million (40,000,000)
shares, of which twenty six million six hundred ninety thousand nine hundred

The

series of Preferred Stock shall be designated as Series A Preferred Stock,
which
series shall consist of 5,050,000 shares (“Series
A Preferred Stock”)
and
shall have the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions set forth
herein. The second series of Preferred Stock shall be designated as Series
B
Preferred Stock, which series shall consist of eight million two hundred
and
fifty nine thousand ninety three (8,259,093) shares (“Series

and
shall have the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions set forth

For

II. Rights,

The
Preferred Stock authorized by this Certificate of Incorporation may be issued
from time to time in one or more series. The rights, preferences, privileges,
and restrictions granted to and imposed on the Preferred Stock, are as set
forth
below in this Article IV(II).
1. Dividend
Provisions.
(i) The
holders of the Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock shall
be entitled to receive, out of funds legally available therefore, non-cumulative
dividends at the rate of 8% of the Original Series A Issue Price and the
Original Series B Issue Price respectively (as defined below) (subject to
appropriate adjustments in the event of any stock dividend, stock split,
combination or other similar recapitalization affecting such shares) per
annum
per share, payable in preference and priority to any payment of any cash
dividend on Common Stock or any other shares of capital stock of the corporation
other than the Preferred Stock, payable when and as declared by the Board
of
Directors of the corporation. If such dividends on the Preferred Stock shall
not
have been paid, or declared and set apart for payment, the deficiency shall
be
fully paid or declared and set apart for payment before any dividend shall
be
paid or declared or set apart for any Common Stock.
2
2. Liquidation
Preference.
(i) In
the
event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of this corporation,
either
voluntary or involuntary, the holders of Series B Preferred Stock shall be
entitled to receive, prior and in preference to any distribution of any of
the
assets of this corporation to the holders of Series A Preferred Stock and
Common
Stock by reason of their ownership thereof, an amount per share equal to
the sum
of (i) two U.S dollars and seventy five point seven cents (U$2.75656) (as
may be adjusted in accordance with Section 1.3 of the Series B Preferred
Stock
Purchase Agreement) for each outstanding share of Series B Preferred Stock
(the “Original
Series B Issue Price”)
plus
annual interest at the rate of 90 days LIBOR plus 1.0%, for the period that
has
passed since the date of the first issuance of any Series B Preferred
Stock, plus (ii) all declared but unpaid dividends on such share (subject
to
adjustment of such fixed dollar amounts for any stock splits, stock dividends,
combinations, recapitalizations or the like)(collectively, the “B
Preference Amount”).
If
upon the occurrence of such event, the assets and funds thus distributed
among
the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock shall be insufficient to permit
the payment to such holders of the full aforesaid B Preference Amount, then
the
entire assets and funds of this corporation legally available for distribution
shall be distributed ratably among the holders of the Series B Preferred
Stock in proportion to the amount of such stock owned by each such
holder.
(ii) Upon
the
completion of the distribution required by subsection (i) of this
Section 2, the remaining assets of this corporation available for
distribution to stockholders shall be distributed among the holders of
Series A Preferred Stock in accordance with the provision of Section
(II)(2)(ii) of this Article IV. In such event, the holders of Series A
Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, prior and in preference to
any
distribution of any of the assets of this corporation to the holders of Common
Stock by reason of their ownership thereof, an amount per share equal to
the sum
of (i) one US dollar (U$1.0) for each outstanding share of Series A
Preferred Stock (the “Original
Series A Issue Price”)
plus
annual interest at the rate of 90 days LIBOR plus 1.0%, for the period that
has
passed since the date of issuance of any Series A Preferred Stock, plus
(ii) all declared but unpaid dividends on such share (subject to adjustment
of
such fixed dollar amounts for any stock splits, stock dividends, combinations,
recapitalizations or the like)(collectively, the “A Preference
Amount”).
If
upon the occurrence of such event, such remaining assets and funds of this
corporation available for distribution among the holders of the Series A
Preferred Stock shall be insufficient to permit the payment to such holders
of
the full aforesaid A Preference Amount, then the remaining assets and funds
of
this corporation legally available for distribution shall be distributed
ratably
among the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock in proportion to the
amount of such stock owned by each such holder.
3
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the respective Preference Amounts shall not be payable, if
upon a
liquidation or deemed liquidation, the funds or assets available for
distribution yield (i) in respect of each share of Series B Preferred Stock,
three times the Original Series B Issue Price; and (ii) in respect of each
share
of Series A Preferred Stock, four times the Original Series A Issue Price,
In
such event, the holders of Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to their
respective Preference Amounts and shall participate ratably with the holders
of
Common Stock as described in Section 2(iii) below.
(iii) Upon
the
completion of the distribution required by subsections (i) and (ii) of this
Section 2, the remaining assets of this corporation available for
distribution to stockholders shall be distributed among the holders of
Series B Preferred Stock, Series A Preferred Stock and Common Stock pro
rata based on the number of shares of Common Stock held by each (on an
as-converted basis).
(iv) (a) For
purposes of this Section 2, a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of this
corporation shall be deemed to be occasioned by, or to include (unless the
holders of at least a majority of the Preferred Stock then outstanding and
voting as a separate class shall determine otherwise), (A) the
acquisition of this corporation by another entity by means of any transaction
or
series of related trans-actions (including, without limitation, any
reorganization, merger or consolidation) that results in the transfer of
fifty
percent (50%) or more of the outstanding voting power of this corporation;
or
(B) a
sale of all or substantially all of the assets of this corporation
("Merger
and Acquisition").
b) In
any of
the events specified in Subsections 2(i), 2(ii), 2(iii) and 2 (iv) the holders
of Preferred Stock shall be paid for each share of such stock in cash or
in
securities received from the acquiring entity, or in a combination thereof,
at
the closing of any such transaction, amounts as set forth in subsection 2(i),
2(ii) and 2(iii) above.
(c) If,
in
any of the events specified in Subsections 2(i), 2(ii), 2(iii) and 2(iv),
the
consideration received by this corporation is other than cash, the value
of such
consideration will be deemed its fair market value. Any securities shall
be
valued as follows:
(I) Securities
not subject to restrictions on free marketability covered by Section (c)(I)(B)
below:
(1) If
traded
on a securities exchange or through the Nasdaq National Market, the value
shall
be deemed to be the average of the closing prices of the securities on such
exchange or system over the thirty (30) day period ending three (3) days
prior
to the closing;
(2) If
actively traded over-the-counter, the value shall be deemed to be the average
of
the closing bid or sale prices (whichever is applicable) over the thirty
(30)
day period ending three (3) days prior to the closing; and
4
(3) If
there
is no active public market, the value shall be the fair market value thereof,
as
determined by an independent appraiser appointed by the Board of the Corporation
with the consent of the holders of at least a majority of the voting power
of
all then outstanding shares of Preferred Stock.
(II) Securities
subject to restrictions on free marketability: The method of valuation of
securities subject to restrictions on free marketability (other than
restrictions arising solely by virtue of a stockholder’s status as an affiliate
or former affiliate) shall be to make an appropriate discount from the market
value determined as above in (A) (I) (1), (2) or (3) to reflect the approximate
fair market value thereof, as mutually determined by this corporation and
at
least one director appointed by the holders of the then outstanding shares
of
such Preferred Stock. In the event that no mutual determination can be
concluded, fair market value will be as determined by an independent appraiser
appointed by the Board of the Corporation.
(d) In
the
event the requirements of this subsection 2(iv) are not complied with, this
corporation shall forthwith either:
(I) cause
such closing to be postponed until such time as the requirements of this
Section 2 have been complied with; or
(II) cancel
such transaction, in which event the rights, preferences and privileges of
the
holders of shares of Preferred Stock shall revert to and be the same as such
rights, preferences and privileges existing immediately prior to the date
of the
first notice referred to in subsection 2(iv)(e) hereof.
(e) This
corporation shall give each holder of record of Preferred Stock written notice
of such impending transaction not later than twenty (20) days prior to the
stockholders’ meeting called to approve such transaction, or twenty (20) days
prior to the closing of such transaction, whichever is earlier, and shall
also
notify such holders in writing of the final approval of such transaction.
The
first of such notices shall describe the material terms and conditions of
the
impending transaction and the provisions of this Section 2, and this corporation
shall thereafter give such holders prompt notice of any material changes.
The
transaction shall in no event take place sooner than ten (10) days after
this
corporation has given the first notice provided for herein or sooner than
five
(5) days after this corporation has given notice of any material changes
provided for herein; provided, however, that such periods may be shortened
upon
the written consent of the holders of Preferred Stock that are entitled to
such
notice rights or similar notice rights and that represent at least majority
of
the voting power of all then outstanding shares of such Preferred
Stock.
3. Conversion.
The
holders of Preferred Stock shall have conversion rights as follows (the
“Conversion
Rights”):
(i) Right
to Convert.
Each
share of Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at the option of the holder
thereof, at any time after the date of issuance of such share, 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
the
Original Series A Issue Price and the Original Series B Issue Price,
respectively, by the Conversion Price applicable to such share, determined
as
hereafter provided, in effect on the date the certificate is surrendered
for
conversion of such class of Preferred Shares ("Conversion
Rate").
The
initial Conversion Price per share for shares of Series A Preferred Stock
shall be the Original Series A Issue Price, and the initial Conversion
Price per share for shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall be the
Original Series B Issue Price; provided, however, that the Conversion Price
for the Preferred Stock shall be subject to adjustment as set forth in
subsection 3(iv).
5
(ii) Automatic
Conversion.
Each
share of
Preferred Stock shall automatically be converted into shares of Common Stock
at
the Conversion Rate at the time in effect for such Preferred Stock immediately
upon the earlier of (i)
this corporation’s sale of its Common Stock in a firm commitment underwritten
public offering pursuant to an effective registration statement under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, with a pre-money valuation of the
corporation of at least $200,000,000 and aggregate net proceeds of at least
$30,000,000 (a “Qualified
IPO”)
or
(ii) the
date specified by written consent or agreement of the holders of sixty percent
(60%) of the then outstanding shares of Preferred Stock. In the event of
such
Qualified IPO, the person(s) entitled to receive the Common Stock issuable
upon
such conversion of Preferred Stock shall not be deemed to have converted
such
shares of Preferred Stock until immediately prior to the closing of such
public
offering at which time the Preferred Stock shall be converted automatically
without any further action by the holders of such shares and whether or not
the
certificates representing such shares are surrendered to the corporation
or its
transfer agent; provided, however, that the corporation shall not be obligated
to issue certificates evidencing the shares of Common Stock issuable upon
such
conversion unless certificates evidencing such shares of Preferred Stock
being
converted are either delivered to the corporation or its transfer agent,
as
hereinafter provided, or the holder notifies the corporation or any transfer
agent, as hereinafter provided, that such certificates have been lost, stolen
or
destroyed.
(iii) Mechanics
of Conversion.
Before
any holder of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to convert the same into
shares
of Common Stock, he or she shall surrender the certificate or certificates
therefor, duly endorsed, at the office of this corporation or of any transfer
agent for the Preferred Stock, and shall give a 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
such holder of Preferred Stock, or to the nominee or nominees of such holder,
a
certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock to which
such holder shall be entitled as aforesaid. 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 Preferred Stock to be converted, and the 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, the conversion may, at the option of any holder
tendering 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 persons entitled to receive the Common Stock upon conversion of
the
Preferred Stock shall not be deemed to have converted such Preferred Stock
until
immediately prior to the closing of such sale of securities.

(iv) Conversion
Price Adjustments for Certain Dilutive Issuances, Splits and
Combinations.
The
Conversion Price of the Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock
shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:
(i) (A)(I) Series
B Preferred Stock.
If this
corporation shall issue, after the date upon which any shares of Series B
Preferred Stock were first issued (the “Purchase
Date”),
any
Additional Stock (as defined below) without consideration or for consideration
per share less than the Conversion Price for the Series B Preferred Stock
in
effect immediately prior to the issuance of such Additional Stock (in each
case,
the “Series B New Price”), the Conversion Price for Series B Preferred Stock in
effect immediately prior to each such issuance shall forthwith be adjusted
to
the Series B New Price.
(II) Series
A Preferred Stock.
If this
corporation shall issue, after the date upon which any shares of Series A
Preferred Stock were first issued, any Additional Stock (as defined below)
without consideration or for consideration per share less than the Conversion
Price for the Series A Preferred Stock in effect immediately prior to the
issuance of such Additional Stock (in each case, the “Series A New Price”), the
Conversion Price for Series A Preferred Stock in effect immediately prior
to
each such issuance shall forthwith be adjusted to the Series A New Price.
(B) No
adjustment of the Conversion Price for the Preferred Stock shall be made
in an
amount of less than one cent per share, provided that any adjustments that
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 (E)(3) and (E)(4) below, no
adjustment of such Conversion Price pursuant to this subsection 3(iv)(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.
7
(E) In
the
case of the issuance (whether before, on or after the applicable Purchase
Date)
of options to purchase or rights to subscribe for Common Stock, securities
by
their terms convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock or options
to
purchase or rights to subscribe for such convertible or exchangeable securities,
the following provisions shall apply for all purposes of this
subsection 3(iv)(i) and subsection 3(iv)(ii):
(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 to purchase or rights
to
subscribe for Common Stock shall be deemed to have been issued at the time
such
options or rights were issued and for a consideration equal to the consideration
(determined in the manner provided in subsections 3(iv)(i)(C) and (iv)(i)(D)),
if any, received by this corporation upon the issuance of such options or
rights
plus the minimum exercise price provided in such options 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
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 or rights
were issued and for a consideration equal to the consideration, if any, received
by this corporation for any such securities and related options or rights
(excluding any cash received on account of accrued interest or accrued
dividends), plus the minimum additional consideration, if any, to be received
by
this corporation (without taking into account potential antidilution
adjustments) upon the conversion or exchange of such securities or the exercise
of any related options or rights (the consideration in each case to be
determined in the manner provided in subsections 3(iv)(i)(C) and
(iv)(i)(D)).
(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
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 and the Conversion Price of the Series B Preferred Stock,
respectively, to the extent in any way affected by or computed using such
options, 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 or
rights or the conversion or exchange of such securities.
(4) Upon
the
expiration of any such options or rights, the termination of any such rights
to
convert or exchange or the expiration of any options or rights related to
such
convertible or exchangeable securities, the Conversion Price of the
Series A Preferred Stock and the Conversion Price of the Series B
Preferred Stock, respectively, to the extent in any way affected by or computed
using such options, rights or securities or options or rights related to
such
securities, shall be recomputed to reflect the issuance of only shares of
Common
Stock (and convertible or exchangeable securities that remain in effect)
actually issued upon the exercise of such options or rights, upon the conversion
or exchange of such securities or upon the exercise of the options or rights
related to such securities.
8
(5)
Shares
of Common Stock deemed issued and the consideration deemed paid therefor
pursuant to subsections 3(iv)(i)(E)(1) and (2) shall be appropriately adjusted
to reflect any change, termination or expiration of the type described in
either
subsection 3(iv)(i)(E)(3) or (4).
(ii) “Additional
Stock”
shall
mean any shares of Common Stock issued (or deemed to have been issued pursuant
to subsection 3(iv)(i)(E)) by this corporation after the Purchase Date other
than:
(A) Common
Stock issued pursuant to a transaction described in subsection 3(iv)(iii)
hereof; or
(B) Shares
of
Common Stock (excluding shares repurchased at cost by this corporation in
connection with the termination of service) issuable or issued to employees,
consultants, directors or vendors (if in transactions with primarily
non-financing purposes) of this corporation directly or pursuant to a stock
option plan or restricted stock plan approved by the Board of Directors of
this
corporation.
(C) Shares
of
Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock or Series
B
Preferred Stock, in accordance with the provisions of this Section
3.
(iii) In
the
event this 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 and the Conversion Price of the Series B 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 of 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 determined from time to
time
in the manner provided for deemed issuances in subsection
3(iv)(i)(E).
9
(iv) 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 and the Conversion Price of the Series B
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.
(v) 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 3(iv)(iii), then, in each such case for the purpose of this
subsection 3(v), the holders of the 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 this corporation into which their
shares
of Preferred Stock are convertible as of the record date fixed for the
determination of the holders of Common Stock of this corporation entitled
to
receive such distribution.
(vi) 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 3 or Section 2) provision
shall be made so that the holders of Preferred Stock shall thereafter be
entitled to receive upon conversion of the shares of Preferred Stock the
number
of shares of stock or other securities or property of the Corporation 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
3
with respect to the rights of the holders of Preferred Stock after the
recapitalization to the end that the provisions of this Section 3 (including
adjustment of the respective Conversion Price then in effect and the number
of
shares purchasable upon conversion of the shares of Preferred Stock) shall
be
applicable after that event as nearly equivalent as may be
practicable.
(vii) No
Impairment.
This
corporation will not, by amendment of its Certificate 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
3
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 Preferred Stock against
impairment.
(viii) No
Fractional Shares and Certificate as to Adjustments.
(a) No
fractional shares shall be issued upon the conversion of any share or shares
of
Preferred Stock. Whether or not fractional shares are issuable upon such
conversion shall be determined on the basis of the total number of shares
of
Preferred Stock the holder is at the time converting into Common Stock and
the
number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such aggregate conversion.
In
lieu of any fractional share to which the holder would otherwise be entitled,
the Corporation shall pay cash equal to the fair market value of such fractional
share as reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of
the
Corporation.
10
(b) Upon
the
occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the respective Conversion
Price
of Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 3, this corporation, at its expense,
shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with
the
terms hereof and prepare and furnish to each holder of Preferred Stock a
certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in
detail
the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. This corporation
shall, upon the written request at any time of any holder of Preferred Stock,
furnish or cause to be furnished to such holder a like certificate setting
forth
(A) such adjustment and readjustment, (B) the Conversion Price for
such series of Preferred Stock at the time in effect, and (C) the number of
shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other property that at
the
time would be received upon the conversion of a share of Preferred
Stock.
(ix) Notices
of Record Date.
In the
event of any taking by this corporation of a record of the holders of any
class
of 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 any class or any other securities or property, or to receive
any other right, this corporation shall mail to each holder of Preferred
Stock,
at least twenty (20) days prior to the date specified therein, a notice
specifying the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose
of
such dividend, distribution or right, and the amount and character of such
dividend, distribution or right.
(x) Reservation
of Stock Issuable Upon Conversion.
This
corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its
authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of
effecting the conversion of the shares of the Preferred Stock, such number
of
its shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect
the conversion of all outstanding shares of the Preferred Stock; and if at
any
time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not
be
sufficient to effect the conversion of all then outstanding shares of Preferred
Stock (on a fully-diluted basis), in addition to such other remedies as shall
be
available to the holder of such series of Preferred Stock, this corporation
will
take such corporate 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,
engaging in best efforts to obtain the requisite shareholder approval of
any
necessary amendment to this Restated Certificate of Incorporation.
(xi) Status
of Converted Stock
In the
event any shares of Preferred Stock shall be converted pursuant to this
Section 3, the shares so converted shall be cancelled and shall not be
issuable by this corporation. The Third Restated and Amended Certificate
of
Incorporation of this corporation shall be appropriately amended to effect
the
corresponding reduction in this corporation’s authorized capital
stock.
11
(xii) Notices.
Any
notice required by the provisions of this Section 3 to be given to the holders
of shares of Preferred Stock shall be deemed given if deposited in the United
States mail, postage prepaid, and addressed to each holder of record at his
address appearing on the books of this corporation.
4. Voting

(i) General
Voting Rights of Preferred Stock.
The
holder of each share of Preferred Stock shall have the right to one vote
for
each share of Common Stock into which such Preferred Stock could then be
converted, and with respect to such vote, such holder shall have full voting

Common
Stock, and shall be entitled, notwithstanding any provision hereof, to notice
of
any stockholders’ meeting in accordance with the bylaws of this corporation, and

5. Redemption
Rights.
In the

to
demand redemption of their shares by the corporation, then the holders of
the
Preferred Stock shall be entitled to the most favorable redemption rights
granted to the holders of any class of stock at the same time as such class
of
stock but giving effect to the Original Series A Issue Price and the Original
Series B Issue Price. To remove all doubt, under no circumstances will the
Preferred Stock be redeemed prior to the redemption date set for any other
class
of stock.

represent at least 10% of the outstanding share capital of the Company (on
an
as-converted basis) all of the following decisions of the Company will require
the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the Preferred Shares, voting
together as one class (provided that if such decision would only adversely
affect the Series A Preferred Stock or the Series B Preferred Stock, as the
case
may be, then only the shares of such series of Preferred Stock shall be
considered a separate class for the purpose of this Section 6.2 and further
provided that if such decision may be approved by the Board of Directors
