AMENDED AND RESTATED
INVESTOR RIGHTS AGREEMENT
This Amended and Restated Investor Rights Agreement (the "Agreement")
is made as of the 10th day of February, 1999, by and between AdKnowledge Inc., a
California corporation (the "Company"), and the investors listed on Schedule A
hereto, each of which is herein referred to as an "Investor."
RECITALS
WHEREAS, certain of the Investors (the "Existing Investors") hold
shares of the Company's Series A, B, Series C-1, Series C-2, Series C-3 and
Series D Preferred Stock and are parties to an Amended and Restated Investor
Rights Agreement dated March 4, 1998, between the Company and such Existing
Investors (the "Prior Agreement");
WHEREAS, certain of the Investors (the "Series E Investors") and the
Company are parties to the Series E Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement of even
date herewith, which provides for the sale and issuance of Series E Preferred
Stock to such Series E Investors; and
WHEREAS, in order to induce the Company to enter into the Series E
Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement and to induce the Series E Investors to
invest funds in the Company pursuant to the Series E Stock Purchase Agreement,
the Investors and the Company hereby agree that the Prior Agreement shall be
superseded and replaced in its entirety by this Agreement and that this
Agreement shall govern the rights of the Investors to cause the Company to
register shares of Common Stock issuable to the investors and certain other
matters as set forth herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE PARTIES HEREBY AGREE AS FOLLOWS:
1. Registration Rights. The Company covenants and agrees as follows:
1.1 Definitions. For purposes of this Section 1:
(a) The term "Act" means the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
(b) The term "Form S-3" means such form under the Act as in
effect on the date hereof or any registration form under the Act subsequently
adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") which permits
inclusion or incorporation of substantial information by reference to other
documents filed by the Company with the SEC.
(c) The term "Holder" means any person owning or having the right
to acquire Registrable Securities or any assignee thereof in accordance with
Section 1.12 hereof.
(d) The term "1934 Act" shall mean the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended.
(e) The term "register," "registered" and "registration" refer to
a registration effected by preparing and filing a registration statement or
similar document in
1
4
compliance with the Act, and the declaration or ordering of effectiveness of
such registration statement or document.
(f) The term "Registrable Securities" means (i) the Common Stock
issuable or issued upon conversion of the Series B, Series C-1, Series C-2,
Series C-3, Series D and/or Series E Preferred Stock, (ii) except with respect
to Sections 1.2 and 1.11, the Common Stock issuable or issued upon conversion of
the Series A Preferred Stock and (iii) any Common Stock of the Company issued as
(or issuable upon the conversion or exercise of any warrant, right or other
security which is issued as) a dividend or other distribution with respect to,
or in exchange for or in replacement of the stock referenced in (i) or (ii)
above, excluding in all cases, however, any Registrable Securities sold by a
person in a transaction in which his or her rights under this Section 1 are not
assigned.
(g) The number of shares of "Registrable Securities then
outstanding" shall be determined by the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding which are, and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable
pursuant to then exercisable or convertible securities which are, Registrable
Securities.
1.2 Request for Registration.
(a) If the Company shall receive at any time after the earlier of
(i) February 10, 2004, or (ii) twelve (12) months after the effective date of
the first registration statement for a public offering of securities of the
Company (other than a registration statement relating either to the sale of
securities to employees of the Company pursuant to a stock option, stock
purchase or similar plan or a SEC Rule 145 transaction), a written request from
the Holders of at least thirty percent (30%) of the Registrable Securities then
outstanding that the Company file a registration statement under the Act for a
public offering in which the aggregate proceeds from the offering would exceed
$10,000,000, then the Company shall:
(i) within ten (10) days of the receipt thereof, give
written notice of such request to all Holders; and
(ii) effect as soon as practicable, and in any event shall
use its best efforts to effect within 120 days of the receipt of such request,
the registration under the Act of all Registrable Securities which the Holders
request to be registered, subject to the limitations of subsection 1.2(b),
within twenty (20) days of the mailing of such notice by the Company in
accordance with Section 3.5 below.
(b) If the Holders initiating the registration request hereunder
("Initiating Holders") intend to distribute the Registrable Securities covered
by their request by means of an underwriting, they shall so advise the Company
as a part of their request made pursuant to subsection 1.2(a) and the Company
shall include such information in the written notice referred to in subsection
1.2(a). The underwriter will be selected by the Company and shall be reasonably
acceptable to a majority in interest of the Initiating Holders. In such event,
the right of any Holder to include its Registrable Securities in such
registration shall be conditioned upon such Holder's participation in such
underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder's Registrable Securities in the
underwriting (unless otherwise mutually agreed by a
2
5
majority in interest of the Initiating Holders and such Holder) to the extent
provided herein. All Holders proposing to distribute their securities through
such underwriting shall (together with the Company as provided in subsection
1.4(e)) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the
underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting. Notwithstanding any
other provision of this Section 1.2, if the underwriter advises the Initiating
Holders in writing that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of
shares to be underwritten, then the Initiating Holders shall so advise all
Holders of Registrable Securities which would otherwise be underwritten pursuant
hereto, and the number of shares of Registrable Securities that may be included
in the underwriting shall be allocated among all Holders thereof, including the
Initiating Holders, in proportion (as nearly as practicable) to the amount of
Registrable Securities of the Company owned by each Holder; provided, however,
that the number of shares of Registrable Securities to be included in such
underwriting shall not be reduced unless all other securities are first entirely
excluded from the underwriting.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company shall furnish
to Holders requesting a registration statement pursuant to this Section 1.2, 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 and its shareholders for such registration statement
to be filed and it is therefore essential to defer the filing of such
registration statement, the Company shall have the right to defer taking action
with respect to such filing for a period not greater than 90 days after receipt
of the request of the Initiating Holders; provided, however, the Company may not
exercise this deferral right more than once in any twelve (12) month period.
(d) In addition, the Company shall not be obligated to effect, or
to take any action to effect, any registration pursuant to this Section 1.2:
(i) After the Company has effected two registrations
pursuant to this Section 1.2 and such registrations have been declared or
ordered effective;
(ii) During the period starting with the date sixty (60)
days prior to the Company's good faith estimate of the date of filing of, and
ending on a date one hundred eighty (180) days after the effective date of, a
registration subject to Section 1.3 hereof; provided that the Company is
actively employing in good faith all reasonable efforts to cause such
registration statement to become effective; or
(iii) If the Initiating Holders propose to dispose of shares
of Registrable Securities that may be immediately registered on Form S-3
pursuant to a request made pursuant to Section 1.11 below.
(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, and provided that none of the
holders of the Common Stock issuable or issued upon conversion of the Series E
Preferred Stock requesting registration pursuant to this Section 1.2(e)
previously participated in either of the two registrations referred to above, if
the Company shall receive a written request from the holders of at least
fifty-one percent (51%) of the Common Stock issuable or issued upon conversion
of the Series E Preferred Stock that the Company file a registration statement
under the Act for a public offering in which the aggregate proceeds from the
offering would exceed $10,000,000, then the
3
6
Company shall, in the same manner as otherwise provided in this Section 1.2,
give written notice to the holders of the Registrable Securities and use its
best efforts to effect a registration of all Registrable Securities which the
Holders request to be registered.
1.3 Company Registration. If (but without any obligation to do so) the
Company proposes to register (including for this purpose a registration effected
by the Company for shareholders other than the Holders) any of its stock or
other securities under the Act in connection with the public offering of such
securities solely for cash (other than a registration relating solely to the
sale of securities to participants in a Company stock plan, a registration on
any form which does not include substantially the same information as would be
required to be included in a registration statement covering the sale of the
Registrable Securities or a registration in which the only Common Stock being
registered is Common Stock issuable upon conversion of debt securities which are
also being registered), the Company shall, at such time, promptly give each
Holder written notice of such registration. Upon the written request of each
Holder given within twenty (20) days after mailing of such notice by the Company
in accordance with Section 3.5 hereof, the Company shall, subject to the
provisions of Section 1.7 hereof, cause to be registered under the Act all of
the Registrable Securities that each such Holder has requested to be registered.
1.4 Obligations of the Company. Whenever required under this Section 1
to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities, the Company shall, as
expeditiously as reasonably possible:
(a) Prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement with
respect to such Registrable Securities and use its best efforts to cause such
registration statement to become effective, and, upon the request of the holders
of a majority of the Registrable Securities registered thereunder, keep such
registration statement effective for a period of up to ninety (90) days.
(b) Prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements
to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection with such
registration statement as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the
Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such
registration statement.
(c) Furnish to the Holders such numbers of copies of a
prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, in conformity with the
requirements of the Act, and such other documents as they may reasonably request
in order to facilitate the disposition of Registrable Securities owned by them.
(d) Use its best efforts to register and qualify the securities
covered by such registration statement under such other securities or Blue Sky
laws of such jurisdictions as shall be reasonably requested by the Holders;
provided that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a
condition thereto to qualify to do business or to file a general consent to
service of process in any such states or jurisdictions.
(e) In the event of any underwritten public offering, enter into
and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and
customary form, with the
4
7
managing underwriter of such offering. Each Holder participating in such
underwriting shall also enter into and perform its obligations under such an
agreement.
(f) Notify each Holder of Registrable Securities covered by such
registration statement at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is
required to be delivered under the Act of the happening of any event as a result
of which the prospectus included in such registration statement, as then in
effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing.
(g) Cause all such Registrable Securities registered hereunder to
be listed on each securities exchange on which similar securities issued by the
Company are then listed.
(h) Provide a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable
Securities registered hereunder and a CUSIP number for all such Registrable
Securities, in each case not later than the effective date of such registration.
(i) Provided such securities are being sold through underwriters,
use its best efforts to furnish, at the request of any Holder requesting
registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 1, on the date
that such Registrable Securities are delivered to the underwriters for sale in
connection with a registration pursuant to this Section 1, (i) an opinion, dated
such date, of the counsel representing the Company for the purposes of such
registration, in form and substance as is customarily given to underwriters in
an underwritten public offering, addressed to the underwriters and to the
Holders requesting registration of Registrable Securities and (ii) a letter
dated such date, from the independent certified public accountants of the
Company, in form and substance as is customarily given by independent certified
public accountants to underwriters in an underwritten public offering, addressed
to the underwriters and to the Holders requesting registration of Registrable
Securities.
1.5 Furnish Information.
(a) It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the
Company to take any action pursuant to this Section 1 with respect to the
Registrable Securities of any selling Holder that such Holder shall furnish to
the Company such information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held
by it, and the intended method of disposition of such securities as shall be
required to effect the registration of such Holder's Registrable Securities.
(b) The Company shall have no obligation with respect to any
registration requested pursuant to Section 1.2 or Section 1.11 if, due to the
operation of subsection 1.5(a), the number of shares or the anticipated
aggregate offering price of the Registrable Securities to be included in the
registration does not equal or exceed the number of shares or the anticipated
aggregate offering price required to originally trigger the Company's obligation
to initiate such registration as specified in subsection 1.2(a) or subsection
1.11(b)(2), whichever is applicable.
5
8
1.6 Expenses of Registration. The Company shall bear and pay all
expenses incurred in connection with a registration requested pursuant to
Sections 1.2, 1.3 and 1.11, including without limitation, all registration,
filing and qualification fees, printer's and accounting fees and the Company's
legal fees, but excluding underwriter discounts and commissions relating to the
Registrable Securities and the fees and disbursements of counsel for the selling
Holders; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay for
any expenses of any registration proceeding begun pursuant to Section 1.2 if the
registration request is subsequently withdrawn at the request of the Holders of
a majority of the Registrable Securities to be registered (in which case all
Participating Holders shall bear such expenses), unless the Holders of a
majority of the Registrable Securities agree to forfeit their right to one
demand registration pursuant to Section 1.2; provided further that if such
withdrawal is due to a material adverse change in the business of the Company
that the Holders were not previously aware of at the time of their request and
the Holders withdraw their request with reasonable promptness following
disclosure by the Company of such material adverse change, then the Holders
shall not be required to pay any such expenses and shall not forfeit as provided
above any rights to one demand registration pursuant to Section 1.2.
1.7 Underwriting Requirements. In connection with any offering
involving an underwriting of shares of the Company's capital stock, the Company
shall not be required under Section 1.3 to include any of the Holders'
securities in such underwriting unless they accept the terms of the underwriting
as agreed upon between the Company and the underwriters selected by it (or by
other persons entitled to select the underwriters), and then only in such
quantity as the underwriters determine in their sole discretion will not
jeopardize the success of the offering by the Company. If the total amount of
securities, including Registrable Securities, requested by shareholders to be
included in such offering exceeds the amount of securities sold other than by
the Company that the underwriters determine in their sole discretion is
compatible with the success of the offering, then the Company shall be required
to include in the offering only that number of such securities, including
Registrable Securities, which the underwriters determine in their sole
discretion will not jeopardize the success of the offering (the securities so
included to be apportioned pro rata among the selling shareholders according to
the total amount of securities entitled to be included therein owned by each
selling shareholder or in such other proportions as shall mutually be agreed to
by such selling shareholders) but in no event shall (i) the amount of securities
of the selling Holders included in the offering be reduced below thirty percent
(30%) of the total amount of securities included in such offering, unless such
offering is the initial public offering of the Company's securities in which
case the selling shareholders may be excluded if the underwriters make the
determination described above and no other shareholder's securities are included
or (ii) notwithstanding (i) above, any shares being sold by a shareholder
exercising a demand registration right similar to that granted in Section 1.2 be
excluded from such offering or (iii) the Company limit the number of Registrable
Securities to be included in a registration pursuant to this Agreement in order
to include shares held by shareholders with no registration rights. For purposes
of the preceding sentence concerning apportionment, for any selling shareholder
which is a holder of Registrable Securities and which is a partnership or
corporation, the partners, retired partners and shareholders of such holder, or
the estates and family members of any such partners and retired partners and any
trusts for the benefit of any of the foregoing persons shall be deemed to be a
single "selling shareholder," and any pro-rata reduction with respect to such
"selling shareholder" shall be based upon the
6
9
aggregate amount of shares carrying registration rights owned by all entities
and individuals included in such "selling shareholder," as defined in this
sentence.
1.8 Delay of Registration. No Holder shall have any right to obtain or
seek an injunction restraining or otherwise delaying any such registration as
the result of any controversy that might arise with respect to the
interpretation or implementation of this Section 1.
1.9 Indemnification. In the event any Registrable Securities are
included in a registration statement under this Section 1:
(a) To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify
and hold harmless each Holder, any underwriter (as defined in the Act) for such
Holder and each person, if any, who controls such Holder or underwriter within
the meaning of the Act or the 1934 Act, against any losses, claims, damages or
liabilities (joint or several) to which they may become subject under the Act,
or the 1934 Act or other federal or state securities laws, insofar as such
losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereto) arise out
of or are based upon any of the following statements, omissions or violations
(collectively a "Violation"): (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact contained in such registration statement, including
any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or any
amendments or supplements thereto, (ii) the omission or alleged omission to
state therein a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to
make the statements therein not misleading, or (iii) any violation or alleged
violation by the Company of the Act, the 1934 Act, other federal or state
securities laws, or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Act, the 1934
Act or other federal or state securities laws; and the Company will pay to each
such Holder, underwriter or controlling person any legal or other expenses
reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any
such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the
indemnity agreement contained in this subsection 1.9(a) shall not apply to
amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action
if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld), nor shall the Company be liable in any such
case for any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action to the extent that
it arises out of or is based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and
in conformity with written information furnished expressly for use in connection
with such registration by any such Holder, underwriter or controlling person.
(b) To the extent permitted by law, each selling Holder will
indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its
officers who has signed the registration statement, each person, if any, who
controls the Company within the meaning of the Act, any underwriter, any other
Holder selling securities in such registration statement and any controlling
person of any such underwriter or other Holder, against any losses, claims,
damages or liabilities (joint or several) to which any of the foregoing persons
may become subject under the Act, the 1934 Act or other federal or state
securities laws, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or
actions in respect thereto) arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in
each case to the extent (and only to the extent) that such Violation occurs in
reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by such
Holder expressly for use in connection with such registration; and each such
Holder will pay any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by any person
intended to be indemnified pursuant to this subsection 1.9(b), in connection
with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or
action;
7
10
provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this subsection
1.9(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim,
damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent
of the Holder, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, that
in no event shall any indemnity under this subsection 1.9(b) exceed the gross
proceeds from the offering received by such Holder.
(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this
Section 1.9 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any
governmental action), such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof
is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 1.9, deliver to
the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof and the
indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent
the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party
similarly noticed, to assume the defense thereof with counsel mutually
satisfactory to the parties; provided, however, that an indemnified party
(together with all other indemnified parties which may be represented without
conflict by one counsel) shall have the right to retain one separate counsel,
with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if
representation of such indemnified party by the counsel retained by the
indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing
interests between such indemnified party and any other party represented by such
counsel in such proceeding. The failure to deliver written notice to the
indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such
action, if prejudicial to its ability to defend such action, shall relieve such
indemnifying party of any liability to the indemnified party under this Section
1.9, but the omission so to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party
will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party
otherwise than under this Section 1.9. No indemnifying party, in the defense of
any such claim or litigation, shall, except with the consent of each indemnified
party, consent to entry of any judgment or entry into any settlement which does
not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or
plaintiff to such indemnified party a release from all liability in respect to
such claim or litigation.
(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 1.9 is
held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified
party with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense referred to
therein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified
party hereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such
indemnified party as a result of such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense
in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the
indemnifying party on the one hand and of the indemnified party on the other in
connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such loss,
liability, claim, damage or expense as well as any other relevant equitable
considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the
indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things,
whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the
omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the
indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties' relative intent,
knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such
statement or omission.
(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the
provisions on indemnification and contribution contained in the underwriting
agreement entered into in connection with the underwritten public offering are
in conflict with the foregoing provisions, the provisions in the underwriting
agreement shall control.
8
11
(f) The obligations of the Company and Holders under this Section
1.9 shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in a
registration statement under this Section 1, and otherwise.
1.10 Reports Under Securities Exchange Act of 1934. With a view to
making available to the Holders the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated under the
Act and any other rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit a
Holder to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration or
pursuant to a registration on Form S-3, the Company agrees to:
(a) make and keep public information available, as those terms
are understood and defined in SEC Rule 144, at all times after ninety (90) days
after the effective date of the first registration statement filed by the
Company for the offering of its securities to the general public;
(b) file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other
documents required of the Company under the Act and the 1934 Act;
(c) furnish to any Holder, so long as the Holder owns any
Registrable Securities, forthwith upon request (i) a written statement by the
Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements of SEC Rule 144 (at
any time after ninety (90) days after the effective date of the first
registration statement filed by the Company), the Act and the 1934 Act (at any
time after it has become subject to such reporting requirements), or that it
qualifies as a registrant whose securities may be resold pursuant to Form S-3
(at any time after it so qualifies), (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or
quarterly report of the Company and such other reports and documents so filed by
the Company, and (iii) such other information as may be reasonably requested in
availing any Holder of any rule or regulation of the SEC which permits the
selling of any such securities without registration or pursuant to such form;
and
(d) take such action as is necessary to allow the Holders to use
Form S-3.
1.11 Form S-3 Registration. In case the Company shall receive from any
Holder or Holders a written request or requests that the Company effect a
registration on Form S-3 and any related qualification or compliance with
respect to all or a part of the Registrable Securities owned by such Holder or
Holders, the Company will:
(a) promptly give written notice of the proposed registration,
and any related qualification or compliance, to all other Holders; and
(b) as soon as practicable, effect such registration and all such
qualifications and compliances as may be so requested and as would permit or
facilitate the sale and distribution of all or such portion of such Holder's or
Holders' Registrable Securities as are specified in such request, together with
all or such portion of the Registrable Securities of any other Holder or Holders
joining in such request as are specified in a written request given within 15
days after receipt of such written notice from the Company; provided, however,
that the Company shall not be obligated to effect any such registration,
qualification or compliance, pursuant to this section 1.11: (1) if Form S-3 is
not available for such offering by the Holders; (2)
9
12
if the Holders, together with the holders of any other securities of the Company
entitled to inclusion in such registration, propose to sell Registrable
Securities and such other securities (if any) at an aggregate price to the
public (net of any underwriters' discounts or commissions) of less than
$500,000; (3) if the Company shall furnish to the 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 and its shareholders for such Form S-3 Registration to be effected at
such time, in which event the Company shall have the right to defer the filing
of the Form S-3 registration statement for a period not greater than 90 days
after receipt of the request of the Holder or Holders under this Section 1.11;
provided, however, that the Company shall not utilize this right more than once
in any twelve (12) month period; (4) if the Company has, within the twelve (12)
month period preceding the date of such request, already effected two
registrations on Form S-3 for the Holders pursuant to this Section 1.11; (5) if
the Company has already effected three registrations on Form S-3 for the Holders
pursuant to this Section 1.11; or (6) in any particular jurisdiction in which
the Company would be required to qualify to do business or to execute a general
consent to service of process in effecting such registration, qualification or
compliance.
(c) Subject to the foregoing, the Company shall file a
registration statement covering the Registrable Securities and other securities
so requested to be registered as soon as practicable after receipt of the
request or requests of the Holders. Registrations effected pursuant to this
Section 1.11 shall not be counted as demands for registration or registrations
effected pursuant to Sections 1.2 or 1.3, respectively.
1.12 Assignment of Registration Rights. The rights to cause the
Company to register Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 1 may be
assigned (but only with all related obligations) by a Holder to a transferee or
assignee of such securities who, after such assignment or transfer, holds at
least 100,000 shares of Registrable Securities (subject to appropriate
adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, combinations and other
recapitalizations), provided: (a) the Company is, within a reasonable time after
such transfer, furnished with written notice of the name and address of such
transferee or assignee and the securities with respect to which such
registration rights are being assigned; (b) such transferee or assignee agrees
in writing to be bound by and subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, including without limitation the provisions of Section 1.13 below,
and (c) such assignment shall be effective only if immediately following such
transfer the further disposition of such securities by the transferee or
assignee is restricted under the Act.
1.13 "Market Stand-Off" Agreement. Each Holder hereby agrees that,
during the period of duration specified by the Company and an underwriter of
common stock or other securities of the Company, following the effective date of
a registration statement of the Company filed under the Act, it shall not, to
the extent requested by the Company and such underwriter, directly or indirectly
sell, offer to sell, contract to sell (including, without limitation, any short
sale), grant any option to purchase or otherwise transfer or dispose of (other
than to donees who agree to be similarly bound) any securities of the Company
held by it at any time during such period which was not acquired directly in the
public market or in a public offering by the Company, except common stock
included in such registration; provided, however, that:
10
13
(a) all executive officers and directors of the Company enter
into similar agreements; and
(b) such market stand-off time period shall not exceed 180 days.
In order to enforce the foregoing covenant, the Company may impose
stop-transfer instructions with respect to the Registrable Securities of each
Holder (and the shares or securities of every other person subject to the
foregoing restriction) until the end of such period.
1.14 Termination and/or Suspension of Registration Rights. No Holder
shall be entitled to exercise any right provided for in this Section 1, and all
such rights shall (i) terminate five (5) years following the consummation of the
sale of securities pursuant to a registration statement filed by the Company
under the Act in connection with the initial firm commitment underwritten
offering of its securities to the general public and/or (ii) be suspended on
such date after the closing of such sale of securities as all shares of
Registrable Securities held or entitled to be held upon conversion by such
Holder may immediately be sold under Rule 144 during any 90-day period and shall
remain suspended as long as all such shares of Registrable Securities may be
sold under Rule 144 during any 90-day period.
2. Covenants of the Company.
2.1 Delivery of Financial Statements. The Company shall deliver to
each Investor:
(a) as soon as practicable, but in any event within ninety (90)
days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company, an income statement for
such fiscal year, a balance sheet of the Company, a statement of shareholder's
equity as of the end of such year, and a statement of cash flows for such year,
which reports shall be in reasonable detail, prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and audited by nationally
recognized independent accountants;
(b) as soon as practicable, but in any event within forty-five
(45) days after the end of each of the first three (3) quarters of each fiscal
year of the Company, an unaudited profit or loss statement, an unaudited balance
sheet, an unaudited statement of cash flows and a statement of shareholder's
equity as of the end of such fiscal quarter; and
(c) such other information relating to the financial condition,
business, prospects or corporate affairs of the Company as the Investor or any
assignee of the Investor may from time to time request; provided, however, that
the Company shall not be obligated under this subsection (c) or any other
subsection of Section 2.1 to provide information which it deems in good faith to
be a trade secret or similar confidential information.
2.2 Delivery of Additional Information. The Company shall deliver to
each Holder who holds at least 500,000 shares of Registrable Securities:
(a) within twenty (20) days of the end of each month, an
unaudited income statement, statement of cash flows and balance sheet for and as
of the end of such month,
11
14
in reasonable detail; provided, however, that the Company's obligation under
this subsection 2.2(a) shall not commence until the end of the third month from
the date hereof; and
(b) as soon as practicable, but in any event thirty (30) days
prior to the end of each fiscal year, a business plan for the next fiscal year.
2.3 Inspection. The Company shall permit each Investor, at such
Investor's expense, to visit and inspect the Company's properties, to examine
its books of account and records and to discuss the Company's affairs, finances
and accounts with its officers, all at such reasonable times as may be requested
by the Investor; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated
pursuant to this Section 2.3 to provide access to any information which it
reasonably considers to be a trade secret or similar confidential information;
provided, further, that the Investors coordinate their visitations and
inspections so as to minimize the disruptions and interruptions to the Company.
2.4 Termination of Information and Inspection Covenants. The covenants
set forth in subsections 2.2(a) and (b) and Section 2.3 shall terminate as to
Investors and be of no further force or effect when the sale of securities
pursuant to a registration statement filed by the Company under the Act in
connection with the firm commitment underwritten offering of its securities to
the general public is consummated or when the Company first becomes subject to
the periodic reporting requirements of Sections 12(g) or 15(d) of the 1934 Act,
whichever event shall first occur.
2.5 Confidentiality of Information. The information provided pursuant
to Sections 2.1 and 2.2 shall be used by each Holder or any permitted assignee
of each Holder solely in furtherance of its interests as an investor in the
Company, and such Holder and any permitted assignee of such Holder shall
maintain the confidentiality of all information of the Company obtained under
Sections 2.1 and 2.2, unless such information (i) was known by such Holder or
permitted assignee prior to its disclosure to them by the Company, (ii) is
disclosed to such Holder or permitted assignee without restriction as a matter
of right by a third party not affiliated with or working for the Company, or
(iii) has become publicly available through no fault of such Investor or
permitted assignee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Holder may disclose, if
applicable, (i) to Holder's general and limited partners, or (ii) Holder's Board
of Directors or executive officers such information provided that such general
or limited partners, or such Board of Directors or executive officers agree to
be bound by the terms of this Section 2.5.
2.6 Right of First Offer. Subject to the terms and conditions
specified in this paragraph 2.6, the Company hereby grants to each Investor a
right of first offer with respect to future sales by the Company of its Shares
(as hereinafter defined). For purposes of this Section 2.6, an Investor includes
any general partners and affiliates of an Investor. An Investor shall be
entitled to apportion the right of first offer hereby granted it among itself
and its partners and affiliates in such proportions as it deems appropriate.
Each time the Company proposes to offer any shares of, or
securities convertible into or exercisable for any shares of, any class of its
capital stock ("Shares"), the
12
15
Company shall first make an offering of such Shares to each Investor in
accordance with the following provisions:
(a) The Company shall deliver a notice by certified mail
("Notice") to the Investor stating (i) its bona fide intention to offer such
Shares, (ii) the number of such Shares to be offered, and (iii) the price and
terms, if any, upon which it proposes to offer such Shares.
(b) Within 20 calendar days after receipt of the Notice, the
Investor may elect to purchase or obtain, at the price and on the terms
specified in the Notice, up to that portion of such Shares which equals the
proportion that the number of shares of Common Stock issued and held, or
issuable upon conversion of the Series B, Series C-1, Series C-2, Series C-3,
Series D or Series E Preferred Stock then held, by such Investor bears to the
total number of shares of Common Stock of the Company then outstanding (assuming
full conversion of all convertible securities), issued and held, or issuable
upon conversion of the Series B, Series C-1, Series C-2, Series C-3, Series D or
Series E Preferred Stock, then held by all Investors. The Company shall
promptly, in writing, inform each Investor that purchases all the shares
available to it ("Fully-Exercising Investor") of any other Investor's failure to
do likewise. During the ten-day period commencing after receipt of such
information, each Fully-Exercising Investor shall be entitled to obtain that
portion of the Shares for which Investors were entitled to subscribe but which
were not subscribed for by the Investors which is equal to the proportion that
the number of shares of Common Stock issued and held, or issuable upon
conversion of Series B, Series C-1, Series C-2, Series C-3, Series D or Series E
Preferred Stock then held, by such Fully-Exercising Investor bears to the total
number of shares of Common Stock issued and held, or issuable upon conversion of
the Series B, Series C-1, Series C-2, Series C-3, Series D or Series E Preferred
Stock then held, by all Fully-Exercising Investors who wish to purchase some of
the unsubscribed shares.
(c) If all Shares which Investors are entitled to obtain pursuant
to subsection 2.6(b) are not elected to be obtained as provided in subsection
2.6(b) hereof, the Company may, during the 60-day period following the
expiration of the period provided in subsection 2.6(b) hereof, offer the
remaining unsubscribed portion of such Shares to any person or persons at a
price not less than, and upon terms no more favorable than, those specified in
the Notice. If the Company does not enter into an agreement for the sale of the
Shares within such period, or if such agreement is not consummated within 30
days of the execution thereof, the right provided hereunder shall be deemed to
be revived and such Shares shall not be offered unless first reoffered to the
Investors in accordance herewith.
(d) The right of first offer in this Section 2.6 shall not be
applicable (i) to the issuance or sale of shares of Common Stock (or options
therefor) to Company employees, directors, officers, or consultants for the
primary purpose of soliciting or retaining their employment or services, (ii) to
or after consummation of a bona fide, firmly underwritten public offering of
shares of Common Stock, registered under the Act pursuant to registration
statement on Form S-1, (iii) to the issuance of Common Stock pursuant to the
conversion of the Series B, Series C-1, Series C-2, Series C-3, Series D or
Series E Preferred Stock, or (iv) to the issuance of securities in connection
with a bona fide business acquisition of or by the Company, whether by merger,
consolidation, sale of assets, sale or exchange of stock, or otherwise.
