Preferred Shares or the Conversion Shares upon any stock split, stock dividend,
recapitalization or similar event.
10
The terms "register", "registered" and "registration" shall refer
to a registration effected by preparing and filing a registration statement in
compliance with the Securities Act and applicable rules and regulations
thereunder, and the effectiveness of such registration statement.
"Registration Expenses" shall mean all expenses incurred by the
Company in compliance with Section 8.5, including, without limitation, all
registration and filing fees, printing expenses, fees and disbursements of
counsel for the Company and one counsel representing all holders participating
in such offering, blue sky fees and expenses, and the expense of any special
audits incident to or required by any such registration (but excluding the
compensation of regular employees of the Company, which shall be paid in any
event by the Company).
"Selling Expenses" shall mean all underwriting discounts and
selling commissions applicable to the sale of securities and all fees and
disbursements of counsel for any Holder other than as set forth above.

or Restricted Securities that have not been sold to the public.
8.3 RESTRICTIVE LEGEND. Each certificate representing (i) the
Preferred Shares, or (ii) the Conversion Shares, or (iii) any other securities
issued in respect of the Preferred Shares or the Conversion Shares, upon any
stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, merger, consolidation or similar
event, shall (unless otherwise permitted or unless the securities evidenced by
such certificate shall have been registered under the Securities Act) be stamped
or otherwise imprinted with a legend in the following form (in addition to any
legend required under applicable state securities laws):
THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED
UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 OR ANY
STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THEY MAY NOT BE SOLD
OR OFFERED FOR SALE IN THE ABSENCE OF AN
EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT AS TO THE
SECURITIES UNDER SAID ACT AND ANY
APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAW OR AN
OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE
COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT
REQUIRED.
Upon request of a Holder of such a certificate, the Company shall
remove the foregoing legend from the certificate or issue to such holder a new
certificate therefor free of any transfer legend, if, with such request, the
Company shall have received either the opinion referred to in Section 8.4(i) or
the "no-action" letter referred to in Section 8.4(ii) to the effect that any
transfer by such holder of the securities evidenced by such certificate will not
violate the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws.
11
8.4 NOTICE OF PROPOSED TRANSFERS. The Holder of each certificate
representing Restricted Securities by acceptance thereof agrees to comply in all
respects with the provisions of this Section 8.4. Prior to any proposed transfer
of any Restricted Securities (other than under circumstances described in
Section 8.5 hereof), the Holder thereof shall give written notice to the Company
of such holder's intention to effect such transfer. Each such notice shall
describe the manner and circumstances of the proposed transfer in sufficient
detail, and shall be accompanied (except in transactions in compliance with Rule
144) by either (i) a written opinion of legal counsel who shall be reasonably
satisfactory to the Company, addressed to the Company and reasonably
satisfactory in form and substance to the Company's counsel, to the effect that
the proposed transfer of the Restricted Securities may be effected without
registration under the Securities Act, or (ii) a "no-action" letter from the
Commission to the effect that the distribution of such securities without
registration will not result in a recommendation by the staff of the Commission
that action be taken with respect thereto, whereupon the Holder of such
Restricted Securities shall be entitled to transfer such Restricted Securities
in accordance with the terms of the notice delivered by the holder to the
Company. Each certificate evidencing the Restricted Securities transferred as
above provided shall bear the appropriate restrictive legend set forth in
Section 8.3 above, except that such certificate shall not bear such restrictive
legend if the opinion of counsel or "no-action" letter referred to above is to
the further effect that such legend is not required in order to establish
compliance with any provisions of the Securities Act.
12
8.5 COMPANY REGISTRATION.
(a) If the Company determines to register any of its securities
either for its own account or the account of a security holder or holders
exercising their respective demand registration rights, other than a
registration relating solely to, employee benefit plans on a Form S-8 (as the
term "employee" is defined on Form S-8), or a registration relating solely to a
Commission Rule 145 transaction, or a registration on any registration form that
does not permit secondary sales, the Company shall:
(i) promptly give to each Holder written notice thereof (which
shall include a list of the jurisdictions in which the Company intends to
attempt to qualify such securities under the applicable blue sky or other state
securities laws); and
(ii) include in such registration (and any related
qualification under blue sky laws or other compliance), and in any underwriting
involved therein, all the Restricted Securities specified in a written request
or requests, made by any Holder within 15 days after receipt of the written
notice from the Company described in clause (i) above, except as set forth in
Section 8.5(b).
(b) If the registration of which the Company gives notice is for a
registered public offering involving an underwriting, the Company shall so
advise the Holders as part of the written notice given pursuant to Section
8.5(a)(i). In such event the right of any Holder to registration pursuant to
Section 8.5 shall be conditioned upon such Holder's participation in such
underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder's Restricted Securities in the
underwriting to the extent provided herein. All Holders proposing to distribute
their securities through such underwriting shall (together with the Company and
the Other Shareholders distributing their
13
securities through such underwriting) enter into an underwriting agreement in
customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for underwriting by
the Company. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 8.5, if the
underwriter determines that marketing factors require a limitation on the number
of shares to be underwritten, the underwriter may (subject to the allocation
priority set forth below) exclude from such registration and underwriting some
of or all the Restricted Securities that would otherwise be underwritten
pursuant hereto. The Company shall so advise all holders of securities
requesting registration, and the number of shares of securities that are
entitled to be included in the registration and underwriting shall be allocated
in the following manner. If a limitation on the number of shares is required,
the number of shares that may be included in the registration and underwriting
shall be allocated among all holders of securities of the Company in proportion,
as nearly as practicable, to the respective amounts of securities which they had
requested to be included in such registration at the time of filing the
registration statement. If any holder of securities disapproves of the terms of
any such underwriting, he may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to
the Company and the underwriter. Notwithstanding the above, in the event of an
offering of shares of stock other than the Company's initial public offering,
the number of Restricted Securities included in such offering shall not be
reduced below the lesser of (x) 10% of the shares to be offered in such offering
and (y) 50% of the conversion shares attributable to the Preferred Shares held
by Holder.
(c) Holder shall have the right, on one occasion, to require the
Company by notice to register the Restricted Shares on a form S-3 registration
statement, or successor form registration statement, provided that the Company
meets the requirements to use such a form. Thereafter, the Company shall
promptly prepare and file any amendments and supplements to the registration
statement and the prospectus included in the registration statement as may be
necessary to keep the registration statement effective until the earlier of (a)
one year after the effective date of the registration statement or (b) upon the
sale of the Restricted Shares pursuant to the registration statement, section
4(2) of the Securities Act or Rule 144 of the Securities Act.
8.6 EXPENSES OF REGISTRATION. All Registration Expenses incurred in
connection with any registration, qualification or compliance pursuant to this
Section 8 shall be borne by the Company, and all Selling Expenses shall be borne
by the holders of the securities so registered pro rata on the basis of the
number of their shares so registered.
8.7 REGISTRATION PROCEDURES. In the case of each registration effected
by the Company pursuant to Section 8, the Company shall keep each Holder advised
in writing as to the initiation of each registration and as to the completion
thereof.
8.8 INDEMNIFICATION.
(a) The Company shall indemnify each Holder, each of its officers,
directors and partners, and each person controlling such Holder, with respect to
which registration, qualification or compliance has been effected pursuant to
this Section 8, and each underwriter, if any, and each person who controls any
underwriter, against all claims, losses, damages and liabilities (or actions in
respect thereof) (collectively, "Losses") arising out of or based on:
14
(i) any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a
material fact contained in any prospectus, offering circular or other document
(including any related registration statement, notification or the like) (the
"Registration Documents") incident to any such registration, qualification or
compliance, or
(ii) any omission (or alleged omission) to state in
Registration Documents a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or
(iii) any violation by the Company of the Securities Act or
any rule or regulation thereunder applicable to the Company and relating to
action or inaction required of the Company in connection with any such
registration, qualification or compliance.
(b) Notwithstanding the forgoing to the contrary, the Company
shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such Losses arise
out of or are based upon any untrue statement or omission made in such
Registration Documents in reliance upon and in conformity with information
furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Holder, underwriter or
controlling person specifically for use in the preparation thereof.
(c) The Company shall reimburse each such Holder, each of its
officers, directors and partners, and each person controlling such Holder, each
such underwriter and each person who controls any such underwriter, for any
legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with
investigating and defending any such Losses.
(d) Each Holder shall, if Restricted Securities held by him are
included in the securities as to which such registration, qualification or
compliance is being effected, indemnify the Company, each of its directors and
officers and each underwriter, if any, of the Company's securities covered by
such a registration statement, each person who controls the Company or such
underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act and the rules and
regulations thereunder, each other Holder and holder of securities of the
Company, and each of their officers, directors and partners, and each person
controlling such Holder or other holders of securities of the Company, against
all Losses arising out of or based on: (i) any true statement (or alleged untrue
statement) of a material fact contained in any Registration Document, (ii) any
omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in
each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement (or
alleged untrue statement) or omission (or alleged omission) is made in such
Registration Document in reliance upon and in conformity with written
information furnished to the Company by such Holder and stated to be
specifically for use therein.
(e) The obligations of such Holders under Section 8.8(e) shall be
limited to an amount equal to the proceeds to each such Holder of securities
sold as contemplated herein.
(f) Each Holder shall reimburse the Company and such Holders or
other holders of securities of the Company, directors, officers, partners,
persons, underwriters or controlling persons for any legal or any other expenses
reasonably incurred in connection with
15
investigating or defending any such Losses referred to in Section 8.8(e) for
which such Holder is responsible.
(g) Each party entitled to indemnification under this Section 8.8
(the "Indemnified Party") shall give notice to the party required to provide
indemnification (the "Indemnifying Party") promptly after such Indemnified Party
has actual knowledge of any claim as to which indemnity may be sought, and shall
permit the Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of any such claim or any
litigation resulting therefrom provided that counsel for the Indemnifying Party,
who shall conduct the defense of such claim or any litigation resulting
therefrom, shall be subject to approval by the Indemnified Party (whose approval
shall not unreasonably withheld), provided that the failure of any Indemnified
Party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party
of its obligations under this Section 8. The Indemnified Party may participate
in such defense at such party's expense, provided that the Indemnifying Party
shall pay such expense 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 the Indemnified Party and any other
party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. No Indemnifying Party, in
the defense of any such claim or litigation, shall, except with the consent of
each Indemnified Party, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any
settlement that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by
the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party of a release from all
liability in respect to such claim or litigation.
8.9 INFORMATION BY HOLDER. Each Holder of Restricted Securities shall
furnish to the Company such information regarding such Holder and the
distribution proposed by such Holder as the Company may reasonably request in
writing and as shall be reasonably required in connection with any registration,
qualification or compliance referred to in this Section 8.
8.10 RULE 144 REPORTING. With a view to making available the benefits
of certain rules and regulations of the Commission that may permit the sale of
the Restricted Securities to the public without registration, the Company shall:
(a) make and keep public information available as those terms are
understood and defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act starting 90 days
following the effective date of the first registration under the Securities Act
filed by the Company for an offering of its securities to the general public;
(b) use its best efforts to file with the Commission in a timely
manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the
Securities Act and the Exchange Act at any time after it has become subject to
such reporting requirements;
(c) so long as Purchaser owns any Restricted Securities, furnish
to Holder forthwith upon request a written statement by the Company as to its
compliance with the reporting requirements of Rule 144 of the Securities Act and
the Exchange Act (once it has become subject to such reporting requirements), a
copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company, and such
other reports and documents so filed as Holder may reasonably
16
request in availing itself of any rule or regulation of the Commission allowing
Holder to sell any such securities without registration.
8.11 "MARKET STAND-OFF" AGREEMENT. Each Holder shall agree, if
requested by the Company and an underwriter of Common Stock (or other
securities) of the Company, not to sell or otherwise transfer or dispose of any
Common Stock (other securities) of the Company held by it during the 120 day
period following the effective date of a registration statement of the Company
filed under the Securities Act, provided that:
(a) such agreement shall apply only to the first such
registration statement of the Company including securities to be sold on its
behalf to the public in an underwritten offering; and
(b) all officers and directors of the Company, and each Holder
who holds at least 5% of the Company's voting securities shall enter into a
similar agreement.
Such agreement shall be in writing in a form satisfactory to the
Company and such underwriter. The Company may impose stop-transfer instructions
with respect to the shares (or securities) subject to the foregoing restriction
until the end of such 120-day period.
SECTION 9
INDEMNIFICATION
9.1 OBLIGATION OF THE COMPANY TO INDEMNIFY. The Company shall
indemnify, defend and hold harmless Purchaser (and its respective partners,
directors, officers, employees, affiliates and assigns) from and against all
losses, liabilities, damages, deficiencies, diminution in value, costs or
expenses (including interest and penalties imposed or assessed by any judicial
or administrative body and reasonable attorneys' fees) ("Losses") based upon,
arising out of or relating to any material inaccuracy or any material breach of
any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of the Company contained in
this Agreement or in any Exhibit, Schedule or certificate delivered by the
Company at the Closing.
9.2 NOTICE AND OPPORTUNITY TO DEFEND.
(a) NOTICE OF ASSERTED LIABILITY. Within 30 days after receipt by
any party hereto (the "Indemnitee") of notice of any demand, claim or
circumstances that, with the lapse of time, would give rise to a claim or the
commencement (or threatened commencement) of any action, proceeding or
investigation or within 30 days of an Indemnitee learning that a representation
or warranty is materially inaccurate, in each case that may result in a Loss (an
"Asserted Liability"), the Indemnitee shall give notice thereof (the "Claims
Notice") to the other party) obligated to provide indemnification pursuant to
Section 9.1 (the "Indemnitor"). The Claims Notice shall describe the Asserted
Liability in reasonable detail, and shall indicate the amount (estimated, if
necessary) of the Loss that has been or may be suffered by the Indemnitee.
17
(b) OPPORTUNITY TO DEFEND. The Indemnitor may elect to compromise
or defend, and control the defense of, at its own expense and by counsel
reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee, any Asserted Liability provided that
the Indemnitee shall have no liability under any compromise or settlement agreed
to by the Indemnitor that it has not approved in writing. If the Indemnitor
elects to compromise or defend such Asserted Liability, it shall within 30 days
(or sooner, if the nature of the Asserted Liability so requires) notify the
Indemnitee of its intent to do so, and the Indemnitee shall cooperate upon the
request and at the expense of the Indemnitor, in the compromise of, or defense
against, such Asserted Liability. If the Indemnitor elects not to compromise or
defend against the Asserted Liability, or fails to notify the Indemnitee of its
election as herein provided, the Indemnitee may pay, compromise or defend such
Asserted Liability and receive full indemnification for its Losses as provided
in Sections 9.1. In any event, the Indemnitee and the Indemnitor may
participate, at their own expense, in the defense of such Asserted Liability by
the Indemnitor or the Indemnitee, respectively. If the Indemnitor chooses to
defend any claim, the Indemnitee shall make available to the Indemnitor any
books, records or other documents within its control that are reasonably
requested for such defense and shall otherwise cooperate with the Indemnitor, in
which event the Indemnitee shall be reimbursed for its out-of-pocket expense.
