HYBRID FAX, INC.
Subscription and Stock Purchase Agreement

Attn: President
Gentlemen:
The undersigned has received the Confidential Private Placement Memorandum
dated August 17, 1990 (the "Memorandum") offering a minimum of 200,000 and a
maximum of 600,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock ("Preferred Stock") of
Hybrid Fax, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Company"), with a minimum investment
being $20,000 (except with respect to current holders of the Company's Series A
and Series B Preferred Stock) and additional investment being available in
increments of $10,000. The undersigned also acknowledges the receipt thereof
with this Subscription and Stock Purchase Agreement. The Memorandum, its
appendices and any material delivered by the Company therewith are herein
referred to as the "Offering Documents".
The undersigned ("Purchaser") hereby subscribes for, and agrees to
purchase, one share of Preferred Stock for each $1.25 of the amount of
investment set forth in the space provided on the signature page below. The
undersigned hereby tenders this Subscription and Stock Purchase Agreement (the
"Agreement") with a check in the amount of the aggregate subscription amount
payable to the order of "Hybrid Fax, Inc."
Purchaser understands that, upon receipt, the check tendered as payment for
the subscription amount for the Preferred Stock shall not be negotiated by the
Company until subscriptions aggregating at least $200,000 in whole are received
and accepted by the Company provided that, if minimum subscriptions are not
accepted by the Company by September 15, 1990, the check will be promptly
returned to the undersigned.
This subscription shall be irrevocable and shall survive death, disability,
dissolution, liquidation or bankruptcy of Purchaser, subject, however, to all of
the terms and provisions contained in the Offering Documents and the closing
conditions set forth herein. The Company
shall have the right to accept or reject this subscription, in whole or in part,
and this subscription shall be deemed to be accepted by the Company only by
execution of this Agreement.
All capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the same
meaning as defined in the Memorandum.
If Purchaser is a beneficial holder of Series A or Series B Preferred
Stock, Purchaser hereby consents to the creation of a third series of Preferred
Stock in accordance with the Memorandum.
Purchaser represents the following to the Company:
(a) Purchaser has full power and authority to enter into this
Agreement, and to perform its obligations hereunder and to consummate the
transactions contemplated hereby. This Agreement is a legal, valid and binding
obligation of such Purchaser, enforceable against the purchaser in accordance
with its terms.
(b) Purchaser recognizes that an investment in the Company is a
speculative investment involving a high degree of risk.
(c) Purchaser has adequate net worth and means of providing for
current needs and possible personal contingencies, and has no need, and
anticipates no need in the foreseeable future, to sell the Preferred Stock (or
the Common Stock issuable upon conversion) for which such Purchaser hereby
subscribes. Purchaser is able to bear the economic risk of this investment and,
consequently, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, is able to hold
the Preferred Stock (and the Common Stock issuable upon conversion) for an
indefinite period of time and has a sufficient net worth to sustain a loss of
the entire investment in the Company in the event such loss should occur.
(d) Purchaser is acquiring the Preferred Stock for his own account
for investment and not for the benefit of any other person or with a view toward
resale or redistribution in a manner which would require registration under the
1933 Act, and such Purchaser does not now have any reason to anticipate any
change in circumstances or other particular occasion or event which would cause
such Purchaser to sell the Preferred Stock (or the Common Stock issuable upon
conversion).
(e) Purchaser acknowledges that there are substantial restrictions on
the transferability of the Preferred Stock (and the Common Stock issuable upon
the conversion thereof). Since the Preferred Stock (and the Common Stock
issuable upon conversion thereof) will not be, and, except as provided in this
Agreement, the Purchaser has no right to require that they be, registered under
the 1933 Act or qualified pursuant to applicable state securities law, the
Preferred Stock (and the Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof) may not
be, and
-2-
Purchaser agrees that they shall not be, sold unless such sale is exempt from
such registration under the 1933 Act and any other applicable state securities
law or regulation. Each Purchaser further acknowledges that the Company is under
no obligation to aid me in obtaining any exemption from the registration
requirements. Purchaser acknowledges that Purchaser shall be responsible for
compliance with all conditions on transfer imposed by any securities
administrator of any state and for any expenses incurred by the Company for
legal or accounting services in connection with reviewing such a proposed
transfer and/or issuing opinions in connection therewith.
Upon issuance of the Preferred Stock to Purchaser pursuant hereto, the
Company agrees that Purchaser shall have the following registration rights with
respect to such shares of Preferred Stock purchased hereunder (and the Common
Stock issuable upon conversion thereof):
1. Requested Registration.
----------------------
(a) Request for Registration. In case the Company shall receive from
------------------------
Holders of 50% of the issued or issuable Registrable Securities (the "Initiating
Holders") a written request that the Company effect a registration under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") with respect to not
less than a number of shares (as adjusted for recapitalizations) of Registrable
Securities, sufficient (when aggregated with the offering of other holders who
have similar registration rights who have so requested registration) so that the
net proceeds of a proposed offering of such shares would be reasonably estimated
to exceed $3,000,000, the Company will (i) promptly give written notice of the
proposed registration, qualification or compliance to all other Holders and (ii)
as soon as practicable, use its best efforts to effect such registration
(including, without limitation, appropriate qualification under blue sky or
other state securities laws and appropriate compliance with applicable
regulations issued under the Securities Act and any other governmental
requirements or regulations) as may be so requested and as would permit or
facilitate the sale and distribution of all or such portion of such Registrable
Securities as are specified in such request, together with all or such portion
of the Registrable Securities of any Holder or Holders joining in such request
as are specified in a written request received by the Company within 20 days
after receipt of such written notice from the Company; provided, however, that
the Company shall not be obligated to take any action to effect any such
registration, qualification or compliance pursuant to this Section 1:
(A) In any particular jurisdiction in which the Company would be
required to execute a general consent to service of process in effecting
such registration, qualification or compliance unless the Company is
already subject to service in such jurisdiction and except as may be
required by the Securities Act;
(B) Prior to the earlier of (i) December 31, 1992, or (ii) six months
after the effective date of the Company's first registered public offering
of its stock;
-3-
(C) If the Company receives an opinion of counsel, reasonably
satisfactory to a majority of the requesting Holders, to the effect that
the Holders can make open market sales of the outstanding Common Stock held
by them without registration, subject to the volume and manner of sale
limitations contained in Rule 144 promulgated by the Securities and
Exchange Commission or such similar exemption from registration
requirements of the Act;
(D) During the period starting with the date sixty (60) days prior to
the Company's estimated date of filing of, and ending on the date six (6)
months immediately following the effective date of, any registration
statement pertaining to securities of the Company (other than a
registration of securities in a Rule 145 transaction or with respect to an
employee benefit plan), provided that the Company is actively employing in
good faith all reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to
become effective;
(E) After the Company has effected one such registration pursuant to
this paragraph 1(a), and such registrations have been declared or ordered
effective; or
(F) If the Company shall furnish to such Holders a certificate signed
by the President of the Company stating that in the good faith judgment of
the Board of Directors of the Company it would be seriously detrimental to
the Company or its shareholders for a registration statement to be filed in
the near future, in which case the Company's obligation to use its best
efforts to register, qualify or comply under this Section 6.1 shall be
deferred for a period not to exceed 120 days from the date of receipt of
the written request from the Initiating Holders.
Subject to the foregoing clauses (A) through (F), the Company shall
file a registration statement covering the Registrable Securities so requested
to be registered as soon as practicable after receipt of the request or requests
of the Initiating Holders.
(b) Underwriting. In the event that a registration pursuant to this
------------
Section 1 is for a registered public offering involving an underwriting, the
Company shall so advise the Holders as part of the notice given pursuant to
Section 1(a)(i). In such event, the right of any Holder to registration pursuant
to this Section 1 shall be conditioned upon such Holder's participation in the
underwriting arrangements required by this Section 1, and the inclusion of such
Holder's Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent requested
shall be limited as provided herein. The Company shall (together with all
Holders proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting)
enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the managing
underwriter(s) selected for such underwriting by a majority in interest of the
Initiating Holders, but subject to the Company's reasonable approval.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 1, if the managing
underwriter(s) advise(s) the Initiating Holders in writing that marketing
factors require a limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten, then
the Company shall so advise all Holders participating and the number of shares
of
-4-
Registrable Securities that may be included in the registration and underwriting
shall be allocated among all Holders thereof in proportion, as nearly as
practicable, to the respective amounts of Registrable Securities held by such
Holders at the time of filing the registration statement. No Registrable
Securities excluded from the underwriting by reason of the underwriters'
marketing limitation shall be included in such registration. To facilitate the
allocation of shares in accordance with the above provisions, the Company or the
underwriters may round the number of shares allocated to any Holder to the
nearest 100 shares.
If any Holder disapproves of the terms of the underwriting, such
person may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company, the
managing underwriter and the Initiating Holders. The Registrable Securities so
withdrawn shall also be withdrawn from registration, and such Registrable
Securities shall not be transferred in a public distribution prior to 90 days
after the effective date of such registration, or such other shorter period of
time as the underwriters may require.
2. Optional Registrations. If at any time or times prior to
----------------------
December 31, 1995 the Company shall determine to register any of its securities
(for itself or for any other securities holder of the Company) under the
Securities Act or any successor legislation (other than a registration relating
to stock option plans, employee benefit plans or a Rule 145 transaction), and in
connection therewith the Company may lawfully register its Common Stock, the
Company will promptly give written notice thereof to the then holders (the
"Holders") of all issued or issuable Registrable Securities (as hereinafter
defined) and will use its best efforts to include in such registration and to
effect the registration under the Securities Act of all Registrable Securities
which such Holders may request in writing delivered to the Company within 15
days after receipt by such Holder of the notice given by the Company; provided,
however, if the managing underwriter for the Company advises the Company in
writing that including all or part of the Registrable Shares in such offering
will adversely affect the marketing of the proposed offering, then, in
connection with any such underwritten offering by the Company of any of its
securities, such registration of Registrable Securities shall be limited to not
less than 10% of the total number of shares to be sold in the case of an initial
public offering of the Company's securities, and 20% of the total number of
shares to be sold in the case of a subsequent offering; further provided,
however, that such limited number of shares of Common Stock in such offering,
which shares shall be taken from those owned (or obtainable upon the exercise of
rights with respect to other securities) by a group of holders requesting
registration consisting of the Holders and other holders having similar
registration rights to those of the Holders, and such limitation shall be
imposed upon the Holders and such other holders pro rata on the basis of the
total number of (i) shares of Registrable Securities owned by the requesting
Holders and (ii) shares of Common Stock owned, or obtainable by them upon the
exercise of rights with respect to other securities, by such other requesting
holders. In the event of such a limitation, shares of persons not having similar
registration rights will not be included in such registration. The Company shall
have the right to select the managing underwriter or underwriters for any
underwritten offering made pursuant to a registration under this Section 2
hereof.
-5-
3. Registrable Securities. For the purposes of these provisions, the
----------------------
term "Registrable Securities" shall mean (i) the Common Stock issued or issuable
upon conversion of any series of Preferred Stock of the Company (including the
Preferred Stock) where the holder thereof has the right under this agreement or
a substantially similar right to require registration of such stock (the
"Conversion Stock"), (ii) the Common Stock issued or issuable upon exercise of
the Company's outstanding Common Stock Purchase Warrants, of which warrants to
purchase 75,009 shares are outstanding and (iii) any Common Stock issued or
issuable with respect to the Common Stock described in clauses (i) or (ii) by
way of a stock dividend or stock split.
4. Expenses of Registration.
------------------------
(a) All expenses of the registration and offering incurred in
connection with (i) one registration pursuant to Section 1, and (ii) one
registration pursuant to Section 2, shall be borne by the Company, except that
the Holders shall bear underwriting commissions and discounts attributable to
their Registrable Securities being registered and the fees and expenses of
separate counsel, if any, for such Holders. Unless otherwise stated, all Selling
Expenses relating to securities registered on behalf of the Holders and all
other Registration Expenses shall be borne by the Holders of such securities pro
rata. If the Company includes in such registration any securities to be offered
by it, all expenses shall be borne by the Company,
(b) A proportionate share of the expenses of the registration and
offering incurred in connection with any registration pursuant to Section 2
after the first registration thereunder, shall be borne pro rata by the Holder
or Holders requesting the registration on the basis of the ratio of the number
of their shares so registered to the total number of shares included in such
registration.
5. Transfer of Registration Rights. The rights to cause the Company
-------------------------------
to register securities granted Purchasers under Sections 1 and 2 may be assigned
to a transferee or assignee reasonably acceptable to the Company in connection
with any transfer or assignment of Registrable Securities by a Purchaser
provided that: (i) such transfer may otherwise be effected in accordance with
applicable securities laws, and (ii) such assignee or transferee acquires at
least 5,000 shares of the Registrable Securities (appropriately adjusted for
Recapitalizations).
6. Standoff Agreement. The Holders shall, if requested by the
------------------
managing underwriter or underwriters of any proposed firm underwritten offering
of securities by the Company, agree not to sell any of their Registrable
Securities or any other securities of the Company owned by such Holders in any
transaction other than pursuant to such underwritten offering for a period of up
to 90 days beginning on the effective date of the registration statement,
provided that the Company's officers and directors and each holder of 10% or
more of the Company's issued and outstanding Common Stock also agree to such
limitations. The Holders shall upon request execute a written agreement
confirming and agreeing as to the foregoing.
-6-
7. Registration Indemnification. In the event of any Registration
----------------------------
under the Act pursuant to these provisions of Registrable Securities of any
Holder, the Company will hold harmless such Holder and each underwriter of such
securities and each other person, if any, who controls such Holder or such
underwriter within the meaning of the Act, against any losses, claims, damages
or liabilities to which such Holder or such underwriter or controlling person
may become subject under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims,
damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based
upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact
contained in any registration statement, or any preliminary prospectus or final
prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto on the effective date thereof, or
arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein
a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading; and will reimburse such Holder and each such
underwriter and each such controlling person for any legal or any other expenses
reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any
such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the
Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss,
claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in such
registration statement, or any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus or
amendment or supplement thereto, in reliance upon and in conformity with written
information furnished to the Company through an instrument duly executed by such
Holder or such underwriter specifically for use in the preparation thereof.
It shall be a condition precedent to the obligation of the Company to
include in any registration statement any Registrable Securities then held by a
Holder that the Company shall have received an undertaking satisfactory to it
and its counsel from each Holder, to indemnify and hold harmless (in the same
manner and to the same extent as set forth in the preceding paragraph) the
Company, each director of the Company, each officer of the Company who shall
sign such registration statement and any person who controls the Company within
the meaning of the Act, with respect to any statement or omission from such
registration statement, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained
therein, or any amendment or supplement thereto, if such statement or omission
was made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the
Company through an instrument duly executed by the Holder specifically for use
in the preparation of such registration statement, preliminary prospectus or
final prospectus or such amendment or supplement thereto.
Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party of notice of the
commencement of any action involving a claim referred to in the preceding
paragraphs of these provisions, such indemnified party will, if a claim in
respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party, give written notice
to the latter of the commencement of such action. In case any such action is
brought against an indemnified party, the indemnifying party will be entitled to
participate in and to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably
satisfactory to such indemnified party, and after notice from the indemnifying
party to such indemnified party of its election so to
-7-
assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such
indemnified party for any legal or other expenses incurred by the latter in
connection with the defense thereof.
