untrue statement of material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein
or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading at the time such Company SEC Documents

accepted accounting principles consistently applied (“GAAP”) and present fairly the Company’s
consolidated financial position at the dates thereof and of its operations and cash flows for the

Since the date of the most recent Company SEC Document, the Company has not effected any change in
any method of accounting or accounting practice, except for any such change required because of a
concurrent change in GAAP. No event since November 1, 2004, has occurred that requires the filing
of a Current Report on Form 8-K (an “8-K”) with the SEC for which an 8-K has not been so filed.
Since November 1, 2003, the Company has timely filed all material reports, registration statements
and other filings required by the SEC.

material information relating to the Company, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made
known to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Financial Officer by others within
those entities, particularly during the periods in which the filings made by the Company with the
SEC under Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act are being prepared, (ii) have been
evaluated for effectiveness as of the end of each of the most recent fiscal year and most recent
fiscal quarter of the Company, and (iii) are effective to perform the functions for which they were
established.
(b) The independent registered public accountants and the Audit Committee of the Board of
Directors, or, if no Audit Committee of the Board of Directors exists, the Board of Directors (the

operation of internal controls which could adversely affect the Company’s ability to record,
process, summarize and report financial data, and (ii) any fraud, whether or not material, that
involves management or other employees who have a role in the Company’s internal controls; any
material weaknesses in internal controls have been identified for the accountants; and since the
date of the most recent evaluation of such disclosure controls and procedures, there have been no
significant changes in internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect
internal controls, including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and
material weaknesses.
6

all certifications required by the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002 (the “Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act”) and any
related rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC, each in effect on the date thereof, and the

commitments of any nature) or other agreement, or subject to any judgment, decree or order of any
court or administrative agency, that would interfere with the use of his or her best efforts to
promote the interests of the Company or that would conflict with the business of the Company as now
conducted or as proposed to be conducted. To the Company’s knowledge, neither the execution and
delivery of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, nor the carrying on of the
business of the Company by the Company’s employees, nor the conduct of the business of the Company
as now conducted or as proposed to
11
be conducted, will conflict with or result in a breach of the terms, conditions or provisions
of, or constitute a default under, any contract, covenant or instrument under which any of such
employees is now obligated. The Company is not aware of any instances where its employees, agents,
advisors, consultants, independent contractors or representatives, have transferred Intellectual

royalties or other compensation to any third party in respect of their ownership, use or license of
any of such third party’s Intellectual Property.

Property and (ii) to maintain the confidentiality of its trade secrets, know-how and other
confidential Intellectual Property, and to the Company’s knowledge, there have been no acts or
omissions by the officers, directors, shareholders or employees of the Company, the result of which
would be to compromise the rights of any aspects of the Company to apply for or enforce appropriate
legal protection of any aspects of the Company’s Intellectual Property that are material to the
Company’s business as conducted or as proposed to be conducted at the time of such acts or
omissions.
(f) The products, processes, proprietary technology and other proprietary know-how owned or

ARTICLE VII.
Section 7.01
Survival of Agreements. Except as otherwise provided herein or therein,
all covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made in any of the Transaction Documents
or any certificate or instrument delivered to the Purchaser or the Company pursuant to or in
connection with any of the Transaction Documents shall survive the execution and delivery of all of

delivery of the Preferred Stock Conversion Shares for a period of one year following the Closing
Date; provided, however, that the representations and warranties of the Company and the

this Agreement which are for the benefit of the Purchaser as a purchaser or holder of the Shares
(or any securities pursuant to which the Shares may be converted or exercised into) are also for

Section 7.05
Specific Performance; Remedies. Each party acknowledges and agrees that
the other parties would be damaged irreparably if any provision of this Agreement were not
performed in accordance with its specific terms or were otherwise breached. Accordingly, the
parties will be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of the provisions of
this Agreement and to enforce specifically this Agreement and its provisions in any action or
proceeding instituted in any court of the United States or any state thereof having jurisdiction
over the parties and the matter, in addition to any other remedy to which they may be entitled, at
law or in equity. Except as expressly provided herein, the rights, obligations and remedies
created by this Agreement are cumulative and in addition to any other rights, obligations or
remedies otherwise available at law or in equity. Except as expressly provided herein, nothing

provision of, or based on any matter arising out of or in connection with, this Agreement or the
transaction contemplated hereby shall only be brought in any federal court located in Dallas
County,
Texas or any
Texas state court located in Dallas County,
Texas, and each party consents to
the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of such courts (and of the appropriate appellate courts
therefrom) in any such action, suit or proceeding and irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any

brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Process in any such action,
suit or proceeding may be served on any party anywhere in the world, whether within or without the
jurisdiction of any such court. Without limiting the foregoing, service of process on such party
as provided in
Section 7.04 shall be deemed effective service of process on such party.
(b)

OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND
THEREFORE SUCH PARTY HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO JURY TRIAL OF ANY DISPUTE BASED UPON OR

AND ALL OTHER COMMON LAW AND STATUTORY CLAIMS. EACH PARTY REPRESENTS THAT (i) NO REPRESENTATIVE,
AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY

WAIVER, (iii) SUCH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY AND (iv) SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO

SECTION 7.06(b).
Section 7.07
Headings. The article and section headings contained in this Agreement
are inserted for convenience only and will not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of
this Agreement.
Section 7.08
Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by, and construed in
accordance with, the laws of the State of
Texas, without giving effect to any choice of law
principles.
39
Section 7.09
Amendments. This Agreement may not be amended or modified without the
written consent of the Company, the Controlling Shareholders and the Purchaser.
Section 7.10
Extensions; Waivers. Any party may, for itself only, (a) extend the time
for the performance of any of the obligations of any other party under this Agreement, (b) waive
any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of any other party contained herein or in
any document delivered pursuant hereto, and (c) waive compliance with any of the agreements or
conditions for the benefit of such party contained herein. Any such extension or waiver will be
valid only if set forth in a writing signed by the party to be bound thereby. No waiver by any
party of any default, misrepresentation or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder, whether
intentional or not, may be deemed to extend to any prior or subsequent default, misrepresentation
or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder or affect in any way any rights arising because of any
prior or subsequent occurrence. Neither the failure nor any delay on the part of any party to
exercise any right or remedy under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any
single or partial exercise of any right or remedy preclude any other or further exercise of the
same or of any other right or remedy.
Section 7.11
Severability. The provisions of this Agreement will be deemed severable
and the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision will not affect the validity or
enforceability of the other provisions hereof; provided that if any provision of this Agreement, as
applied to any party or to any circumstance, is judicially determined not to be enforceable in
accordance with its terms, the parties agree that the court judicially making such determination
may modify the provision in a manner consistent with its objectives such that it is enforceable,
and/or to delete specific words or phrases, and in its modified form, such provision will then be
enforceable and will be enforced.
Section 7.12
Counterparts; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in two or
more counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original but all of which together will
constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement will become effective when one or more
counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered to the other parties. For
purposes of determining whether a party has signed this Agreement or any document contemplated
hereby or any amendment or waiver hereof, only a handwritten original signature on a paper document
or a facsimile copy of such a handwritten original signature shall constitute a signature,
notwithstanding any law relating to or enabling the creation, execution or delivery of any contract
or signature by electronic means.
Section 7.13
Construction. This Agreement has been freely and fairly negotiated among
the parties. If an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement will
be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties and no presumption or burden of proof will arise
favoring or disfavoring any party because of the authorship of any provision of this Agreement.
Any reference to any law will be deemed to refer to such law as in effect on the date hereof and
all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, unless the context requires otherwise. The words
“include,” “includes,” and “including” will be deemed to be followed by “without limitation.”
Pronouns in masculine, feminine, and neuter genders will be construed to include any other gender,
and words in the singular form will be construed to include the plural and vice versa, unless the
context otherwise requires. The words “this Agreement,” “herein,”
40
“hereof,” “hereby,” “hereunder,” and words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a
whole and not to any particular subdivision unless expressly so limited. The parties intend that
each representation, warranty, and covenant contained herein will have independent significance.
If any party has breached any covenant contained herein in any respect, the fact that there exists
another covenant relating to the same subject matter (regardless of the relative levels of
specificity) which the party has not breached will not detract from or mitigate the fact that the
party is in breach of the first covenant.
Section 7.14
Attorneys’ Fees. If any dispute among any parties arises in connection
with this Agreement, the prevailing party in the resolution of such dispute in any action or
proceeding will be entitled to an order awarding full recovery of reasonable attorneys’ fees and
expenses, costs and expenses (including experts’ fees and expenses and the costs of enforcing this
Section 7.14) incurred in connection therewith, including court costs, from the
non-prevailing party.
Section 7.15
Brokerage. Each party hereto will indemnify and hold harmless the others
against and in respect of any claim for brokerage or other commissions relative to this Agreement
or to the transactions contemplated hereby, based in any way on agreements, arrangements or
understandings made or claimed to have been made by such party with any third party.
Section 7.16
Adjustments for Stock Splits, Etc. Wherever in this Agreement there is a
reference to a specific number of shares of the Company’s capital stock of any class or series
(other than with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock, the Series A Shares, the Shares or the
Preferred Stock Conversion Shares), then, upon the occurrence of any subdivision, combination or
stock dividend of such class or series of stock, the specific number of shares so referenced in
this Agreement will automatically be proportionally adjusted to reflect the effect of such
subdivision, combination or stock dividend on the outstanding shares of such class or series of
stock.
Section 7.17
Aggregation of Stock. All shares of Common Stock owned or acquired by
the Purchaser or its Affiliated entities or persons (assuming full conversion, exchange and
exercise of all convertible, exchangeable and exercisable securities into Common Stock) shall be
aggregated together for the purpose of determining the availability of any right under this
Agreement.
Section 7.18
No-Shop Clause. From and after the date of the execution and delivery of
this Agreement by the Company until the earlier of the termination of this Agreement or the Closing
Date, the Company will not, without the prior written consent of the Purchaser: (i) offer for sale
the assets of the Company and the Subsidiaries (or any material portion thereof) or any shares or
interest in any of the Company or the Subsidiaries, (ii) solicit offers to buy all or any material
portion of the assets of the Company and the Subsidiaries or any shares or interest of any of the
Company or the Subsidiaries, (iii) hold discussions with any party (other than the Purchaser)
looking toward such an offer or solicitation or looking toward a merger or consolidation of any of
the Company or the Subsidiaries, or (iv) enter into any agreement with any party (other than the
Purchaser) with respect to the sale or other disposition of the assets of
41
the Company and the Subsidiaries (or any material portion thereof) or any shares or interest
in any of the Company or the Subsidiaries, or with respect to any merger, consolidation, or similar
transaction involving any of the Company or the Subsidiaries.

FORM OF CERTICATE OF DESIGNATION FOR SERIES A PREFERRED
(Attached)
IMMEDIATEK, INC.
Certificate of Designation, Rights and Preferences of
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock
of
IMMEDIATEK, INC.
Immediatek, Inc. (the “Corporation”), a corporation organized and existing under the law of
the State of Nevada (the “NRS”), hereby certifies that, pursuant to the authority conferred upon
the board of directors of the Corporation (the “Board of Directors”) by its Amended and
Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended (the “Restated Articles “), which authorizes the
issuance, by the Corporation, in one or more series of up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock,
par value $0.001 per share (the “Preferred Stock”), and in accordance with the provisions of NRS
78.1955, the Board of Directors at a meeting duly called and held on ___, 2006 duly adopted
the following resolutions:
RESOLVED, that, pursuant to the authority vested in the Board of Directors by the provisions
of Article V of the Restated Articles and in accordance with the provisions of NRS 78.1955, the
Board of Directors hereby creates and provides for the issue of a series of Preferred Stock
consisting of 4,392,286 shares herein designated as the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the
“Series A Preferred Stock”), having the powers, designations, preferences and relative,
participating, optional or other special rights, and the qualifications, limitations or
restrictions thereof, of the shares of such series (in addition to the powers, designations
preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, and the qualifications,
limitations or restrictions thereof, set forth in the Restated Articles that are applicable to the
Preferred Stock of all series) are hereby fixed as follows (certain terms used herein being defined
in Section B.3. hereof):
(a) Upon any Liquidation Event, the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock then
outstanding shall be entitled to receive, out of the funds and assets of the Corporation legally
available therefor (the “Available Assets and Funds”), before any payment shall be made to the
holders of shares of Junior Stock, an amount per share equal to the greater of (i) the Stated Value
for a share of Series A Preferred Stock and (ii) the amount such holder would have received had such
holder converted such share of Series A Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock immediately
prior to such Liquidation Event. If, upon any such Liquidation Event, the Available Assets and
Funds shall be insufficient to pay the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock the full
amount to which they shall be entitled, the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock and
1
any Parity Stock shall share ratably in any distribution of the Available Assets and Funds in
proportion to the respective amounts that would otherwise be payable in respect of the shares held
by them upon such distribution if all amounts payable on or with respect to such shares were paid
in full.
(a)
Holders’ Redemption Rights. Upon an Event of Default, the holders of a
Majority-in-Interest of the Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding may require the Corporation
to redeem the Series A Preferred Stock at any time or from time to time, in whole but not in part,
at a redemption price per share equal to the Stated Value, plus declared and unpaid dividends, if
any, to the Redemption Date (the “
Redemption Price”). Such redemption shall be effected in
accordance with the procedures set forth in
subsections A.4.(b) and
A.4.(c) hereof.
(b)
Notice. Upon an Event of Default, the Corporation shall mail notice of such Event
of Default within ten (10) days of such Event of Default to the holders of record of the Series A
Preferred Stock. Within a twenty-day period following such notice by the Company to the holders of
the Series A Preferred Stock, each record holder of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled
to provide notice to the Corporation of his election to require the Company to redeem the
outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock. In the event that the holders of a
Majority-in-Interest of the Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding elect to require the
Corporation to redeem shares of the Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to this
subsection
A.4., the Corporation shall mail notice of such redemption by first-class mail, postage
prepaid, and mailed not less than ten (10) days nor more than sixty (60) days after to the date the
holders of a Majority-in-Interest of the Series A Preferred Stock elected to cause the redemption
of the Series A Preferred Stock (each such date, a “
Redemption Date”) to the holders of record of
the shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed, at their respective addresses as such
addresses shall appear in the records of the Corporation; provided, however, that failure to give
such notice or any defect therein or in the mailing thereof shall not affect the validity of the
proceeding for the redemption of any shares so to be redeemed. Each such notice shall state: (i)
the Redemption Date, (ii) the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed, (iii)
the Redemption Price, and (iv) the place or places where certificates for such shares are to be
surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price.
(c)
Right of the Holders of Series A Preferred Stock upon Redemption. Following the
Redemption Date, said shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed shall no longer be deemed
to be outstanding and shall not have the status of shares of Series A Preferred Stock, and all
rights of the holders thereof as stockholders of the Company (except the right to receive the
applicable Redemption Price on the Redemption Date) shall cease, unless the Corporation defaults in
the payment of the Redemption Price on the Redemption Date, in which case all rights of the holders
to whom payment of the Redemption Price was not made on the
2
Redemption Date shall continue until the Redemption Price is paid to such holders, and such
holders shall have the rights of the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock set forth herein.
(a)
Right to Convert. Subject to and in compliance with this
Section A.5.,
each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof,
at any time and from time to time, into that number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of
Common Stock as is determined by dividing the Stated Value for such share by the Conversion Price
(defined below) for such share in effect at the time of conversion. The price at which shares of
Common Stock shall be deliverable upon conversion of Series A Preferred Stock without the payment
of additional consideration by the holder thereof (the “
Conversion Price”) shall initially be $
[to
be completed to equal 95% of outstanding Common Stock]. Such initial Conversion Price shall be
subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in this
Section A.5.
(b)
Mechanics of Conversion. Each holder of Series A Preferred Stock who desires to
convert the same into shares of Common Stock shall surrender the certificate or certificates
therefor, duly endorsed, at the office of the Corporation or of any transfer agent for the Series A
Preferred Stock or Common Stock, and shall give written notice to the Corporation at such office
that such holder elects to convert the same and shall state therein the number of shares of Series
A Preferred Stock being converted. Thereupon, the Corporation shall promptly issue and deliver at
such office to such holder a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock
to which such holder is entitled. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made immediately
prior to the close of business on the date of such surrender of the certificate representing the
shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be converted, and the person entitled to receive the shares
of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record
holder of such shares of Common Stock on such date.
(c)
Adjustments for Stock Splits and Combinations. If the Corporation at any time or
from time to time after the Original Issue Date (as defined below) effects a subdivision of the
outstanding Common Stock, the Conversion Price then in effect immediately before the subdivision
shall be proportionately decreased, and conversely, if the Corporation at any time or from time to
time after the Original Issue Date combines the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller
number of shares, the Conversion Price then in effect immediately before the combination shall be
proportionately increased. Any adjustment under this
subsection A.5.(c) shall become
effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective.
“
Original Issue Date” means the date on which shares of Series A Preferred Stock are originally
issued under this Certificate of Designation.
(d)
Adjustments for Certain Dividends and Distributions. If the Corporation at any
time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date makes or issues, or fixes a record date for
the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution
payable in additional shares of Common Stock, then and in each such event the Conversion Price then
in effect shall be adjusted as of the time of such issuance or, in the event such record date is
fixed, as of the close of business on such record date, so that it will equal the price determined
by multiplying the Conversion Price then in effect by a fraction (1) the numerator of
3
which is the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior
to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date and (2) the denominator
of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately
prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date plus the number of
shares of Common Stock issuable in payment of such dividend or distribution; provided, however,
that if such record date is fixed and such dividend is not fully paid or if such distribution is
not fully made on the date fixed therefor, the Conversion Price shall be recomputed accordingly as
of the close of business on such record date and thereafter the Conversion Price shall be adjusted
pursuant to this subsection A.5.(d) as of the time of actual payment of such dividends or
distributions.
(e)
Adjustments for Dividends and Other Distributions. In the event the Corporation
at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date makes or issues, or fixes a record
date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or other
distribution payable in securities of the Corporation other than shares of Common Stock, then and
in each such event provision shall be made so that the holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall
receive upon conversion thereof, in addition to the number of shares of Common Stock receivable
thereupon, the amount of securities of the Corporation which they would have received had their
Series A Preferred Stock been converted into Common Stock on the date of such event and had they
thereafter, during the period from the date of such event to and including the conversion date,
retained such securities receivable by them as aforesaid during such period, subject to all other
adjustments called for during such period under this
Section A.5 with respect to the rights
of the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock.
(f)
Adjustment for Reclassification, Exchange and Substitution. In the event that, at
any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date, the Common Stock issuable upon the
conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock is changed into the same or a different number of shares
of any class or classes of stock, whether by recapitalization, reclassification or otherwise (other
than a subdivision or combination of shares or stock dividend or a reorganization, merger,
consolidation or sale of assets, provided for elsewhere in this
Section A.5), then and in
any such event each holder of Series A Preferred Stock shall have the right thereafter to convert
such Series A Preferred Stock into the kind and amount of stock and other securities and property
receivable upon such recapitalization, reclassification or other change, by holders of shares of
Common Stock into which such shares of Series A Preferred Stock could have been converted
immediately prior to such recapitalization, reclassification or change, all subject to further
adjustment as provided herein.
(g)
No Adjustment for Certain Issuances. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
herein, no adjustment will be made to the Conversion Price (1) for issuances of Common Stock upon
conversion of shares of the Series A Preferred Stock; or (2) for issuances of Common Stock,
options, warrants or other convertible securities as a dividend or distribution on the Series A
Preferred Stock.
(1) If at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date, the Corporation
issues or sells, or is deemed by the express provisions of this subsection A.5.(h)
to have issued or sold, Additional Shares of Common Stock (as hereinafter
4
defined), other than as a dividend or other distribution on any class of stock as
provided in subsection A.5.(d) above and other than upon a subdivision or
combination of shares of Common Stock as provided in subsection A.5.(c) above, then
and in each such event the Conversion Price then in effect shall be adjusted as of the time
of such issuance or sale so that it will equal the price determined by multiplying the
Conversion Price then in effect by a fraction (1) the numerator of which is the total number
of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such
issuance or sale and (2) the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of
Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or sale
plus the number of shares of Common Stock issued or sold.
(2) For the purpose of the adjustment required under this subsection A.5.(h),
if the Corporation issues or sells any rights or options for the purchase of, or stock or
other securities convertible or exchangeable, with or without consideration, into Additional
Shares of Common Stock (such convertible or exchangeable stock or securities being
hereinafter referred to as “Convertible Securities”), then in each case the Corporation
shall be deemed to have issued at the time of the issuance of such rights or options or
Convertible Securities the maximum number of Additional Shares of Common Stock issuable upon
exercise or conversion thereof. No further adjustment of the Conversion Price, adjusted
upon the issuance of such rights, options or Convertible Securities, shall be made as a
result of the actual issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock on the exercise of any
such rights or options or the conversion of any such Convertible Securities.
If any such rights or options, or the conversion or exchange privilege represented by
any such Convertible Securities, shall expire without having been exercised, the Conversion
Price adjusted upon the issuance of such rights, options or Convertible Securities shall be
readjusted to the Conversion Price which would have been in effect had an adjustment been
made on the basis that the only Additional Shares of Common Stock so issued were the
Additional Shares of Common Stock, if any, actually issued or sold on the exercise of such
rights or options or rights of conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities.
Further, if any shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise or conversion of options
or warrants that are issued and outstanding on the Original Issue Date shall no longer be
issuable thereunder due to expiration, termination or otherwise, the Conversion Price shall
be adjusted as of the time of such expiration so that it will equal the price determined by
multiplying the Conversion Price then in effect by a fraction (1) the numerator of which is
the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the
time of such expiration, plus the number of shares of Common Stock no longer exercisable
pursuant to such option or warrant and (2) the denominator of which shall be the total
number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of
such expiration.
(3) For the purpose of the adjustment required under this subsection A.5.(h),
if the Corporation issues or sells any rights or options for the purchase of Convertible
Securities, then in each such case the Corporation shall be deemed to have issued at the
time of the issuance of such rights or options the maximum number of Additional Shares of
Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exchange of the total
5
amount of Convertible Securities covered by such rights or options. No further
adjustment of the Conversion Price, adjusted upon the issuance of such rights or options,
shall be made as a result of the actual issuance of the Convertible Securities upon the
exercise of such rights or options or upon the actual issuance of Additional Shares of
Common Stock upon the conversion of such Convertible Securities. The provisions of
paragraph (2) above for the readjustment of the Conversion Price upon the expiration of
rights or options or the rights of conversion or exchange of Convertible Securities shall
apply mutatis mutandis to the rights, options and Convertible Securities
referred to in this paragraph (3).
(i)
Notices of Record Date. In the event of (a) any taking by the Corporation of
record of the holders of any class of securities for the purpose of determining the holders thereof
who are entitled to receive any dividend or other distribution, or (ii) any capital reorganization
of the Corporation, any reclassification or recapitalization of the capital stock of the
Corporation, any merger or consolidation of the Corporation with or into any other corporation, or
any transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation to any other Person or
any voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Corporation, the
Corporation shall mail to each holder of Series A Preferred Stock at least thirty (30) days prior
to the record date specified therein, a notice specifying (1) the date on which any such record is
to be taken for the purpose of such dividend or distribution and a description of such dividend or
distribution, (2) the date on which any such reorganization, reclassification, transfer,
consolidation, merger, dissolution, liquidation or winding up is expected to become effective, and
(3) the date, if any, that is to be fixed, as to when the holders of record of Common Stock (or
other securities) shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock (or other securities)
for securities or other property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, transfer,
consolidation, merger, dissolution, liquidation or winding up.
(j)
Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon
conversion of Series A Preferred Stock. If more than one share of Series A Preferred Stock shall
be surrendered for conversion at any one time by the same holder, the number of full shares of
Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate
number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock so surrendered. In lieu of any fractional share to
which the holder would otherwise be entitled, the Corporation shall pay cash equal to the product
of such fraction multiplied by the Fair Market Value of one share of the Corporation’s Common Stock
on the date of conversion.
(k)
Reservation of Stock Issuable Upon Conversion. The 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 Series A 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 Series A 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 the Series A Preferred Stock, the 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 purpose.
6
(l)
Notices. All notices and other communications required by the provisions of this
Section A.5 shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if delivered
personally, mailed by certified mail (return receipt requested) or sent by overnight delivery
service, cable, telegram, facsimile transmission or telex to each holder of record at the address
of such holder appearing on the books of the Corporation. Notice so given shall, in the case of

posting, in the case of overnight delivery service, on the date of actual delivery and, in the case
of notice so given by cable, telegram, facsimile transmission, telex or personal delivery, on the
date of actual transmission or, as the case may be, personal delivery.

income) and other governmental charges that may be imposed with respect to the issue or delivery of
shares of Common Stock upon conversion of shares of Series A Preferred Stock, including, without
limitation, any tax or other charge imposed in connection with any transfer involved in the issue
and delivery of shares of Common Stock in a name other than that in which the shares of Series A
Preferred Stock so converted were registered.
(n)
No Dilution or Impairment. The Corporation shall not amend its Amended and
Restated Articles of Incorporation or participate in any reorganization, transfer of assets,
consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, for
the purpose of avoiding, or seeking to avoid, the observance or performance of any of the terms to
be observed or performed hereunder by the Corporation, but will at all times in good faith assist

Securities is not consummated for any reason, including, without limitation, if the underwriters of
an underwritten public offering advise the Participating Holders that the Registrable Securities
cannot be sold at a net price per share equal to or above the net price disclosed in the
preliminary prospectus; (iii) if the conditions to closing specified in the underwriting agreement,
if any, entered into in connection with such registration are not satisfied or waived; or (iv) if
the Requesting Holders are cut back regarding the Registrable Securities requested to be
registered.
(c) Selection of Underwriters. In the event that the Company is required to file a
Registration Statement covering any Registrable Securities of any Requesting Holders pursuant to
Section 1.2(a) hereof and the proposed public offering is to be an underwritten public
offering, the managing underwriter shall be one or more reputable, nationally recognized investment
banks selected by a majority in interest of the Requesting Holders and reasonably acceptable to the
Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.
(d) Priority for Demand Registration. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement, if the managing underwriter of an underwritten public offering determines and advises
the Participating Holders and the Company in writing that the inclusion of all securities proposed
to be included by the Company and any other Holders in the underwritten public offering would
materially and adversely interfere with the successful marketing of the Requesting Holders’
Registrable Securities, then the Company and other Holders shall not be permitted to include any
securities in excess of the amount, if any, of securities that the managing underwriter of such
underwritten public offering shall reasonably and in good faith agree in writing to include in such
public offering in addition to the amount of Registrable Securities to be registered for the
Requesting Holders. The Company will be obligated to include in such Registration Statement, as to
each Holder, only a portion of the Registrable Securities such Holder has requested be registered
equal to the ratio which such Holder’s requested Registrable Securities bears to the total number
of Registrable Securities requested to be included in such Registration Statement by all Holders
who have requested that their Registrable Securities be included in such Registration Statement. It
is acknowledged by the parties hereto that pursuant to the foregoing provision, the securities to
be included in a registration requested by the Requesting Holders pursuant to Section 1.2
shall be allocated:
(i) first, to the Participating Holders; and
(ii) second, to the Company and any other shareholders of the Company requesting registration
of securities of the Company.
4
(e) Limitations on Demand Registrations.
(i) The Company may delay making a filing of a Registration Statement or taking action in
connection therewith by not more than ninety (90) days if the Company provides a written
certificate signed by the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company to the
Holders, prior to the time it would otherwise have been required to file such Registration
Statement or take such action pursuant to this Section 1.2, stating that the Board has
determined in good faith that the filing of such Registration Statement would be seriously
detrimental to the Company or would otherwise materially adversely affect a financing, acquisition,
disposition, merger or other material transaction (collectively, a “Valid Business Reason”) and
that it is therefore essential to defer the filing of the Registration Statement; provided,
however, that such right to delay a Demand Request shall be exercised by the Company not
more than once in any twelve (12) month period and the Company shall only have the right to delay a
Demand Request so long as such Valid Business Reason exists, and during such time, the Company may
not file a Registration Statement for securities to be issued and sold for its own account or for
that of anyone other than the Holders.
(ii) The Company shall only be obligated to effect two (2) Demand Requests pursuant to this
Section 1.2.
(iii) The Company shall not be required to comply with a Demand Request unless the reasonably
anticipated aggregate gross proceeds to be raised (before any underwriting discounts and
commissions) would be equal to or exceed $1,000,000.
(f) Cancellation of Registration. A majority in interest of the Participating Holders
shall have the right to cancel a proposed registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to this
Section 1.2 when, (i) in their discretion, market conditions are so unfavorable as to be
seriously detrimental to an offering pursuant to such registration or (ii) the request for
cancellation is based upon material adverse information relating to the Company that is different
from the information known to the Participating Holders at the time of the Demand Request. Such
cancellation of a registration shall not be counted as one of the two (2) Demand Requests, and
notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement, the Company shall be responsible for the
expenses of the Participating Holders incurred in connection with the registration prior to the
time of cancellation.
(a) Right to Include Registrable Securities. Each time that the Company proposes for
any reason to register any of its Common Stock under the Securities Act, either for its own account
or for the account of a stockholder or stockholders exercising demand registration rights other
than Demand Requests pursuant to Section 1.2 hereof or pursuant to a Registration Statement
on Forms S-4 or S-8 (or similar or successor forms) (a
“Proposed Registration”), the Company shall
promptly give written notice of such Proposed Registration to all of the Holders of Registrable
Securities (which notice shall be given not less than thirty (30) days prior to the expected
effective date of the Company’s Registration Statement) and shall offer such Holders the right to
request inclusion of any of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in the Proposed Registration. No
registration pursuant to this Section 1.3 shall relieve the Company of its
5
obligation to register Registrable Securities pursuant to a Demand Request, as contemplated by
Section 1.2 hereof. The rights to piggyback registration may be exercised an unlimited
number of occasions.
(b) Piggyback Procedure. Each Holder of Registrable Securities shall have twenty (20)
days from the date of receipt of the Company’s notice referred to in Section 1.3(a) above
to deliver to the Company a written request specifying the number of Registrable Securities such
Holder intends to sell and such Holder’s intended method of disposition. Any Holder shall have the
right to withdraw such Holder’s request for inclusion of such holder’s Registrable Securities in
any Registration Statement pursuant to this Section 1.3 by giving written notice to the
Company of such withdrawal. Subject to Section 1.3(d) below, the Company shall use its
best efforts to include in such Registration Statement all such Registrable Securities so requested
to be included therein; provided, however, that the Company may at any time
withdraw or cease proceeding with any such Proposed Registration if it shall at the same time
withdraw or cease proceeding with the registration of all other shares of Common Stock originally
proposed to be registered.
(c) Selection of Underwriters. The managing underwriter for any Proposed Registration
that involves an underwritten public offering shall be one or more reputable, nationally recognized
investment banks selected by the Company and reasonably acceptable to a majority in interest of the
Holders.
(d) Priority for Piggyback Registration. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement, if the managing underwriter of an underwritten public offering determines and advises
the Company and the Holders in writing that the inclusion of all Registrable Securities proposed to
be included by the Holders of Registrable Securities in the underwritten public offering would
materially and adversely interfere with the successful marketing of the Company’s securities, then
the Holders of Registrable Securities shall not be permitted to include any Registrable Securities
in excess of the amount, if any, of Registrable Securities that the managing underwriter of such
underwritten public offering shall reasonably and in good faith agree in writing to include in such
public offering in addition to the amount of securities to be registered for the Company. The
Company will be obligated to include in such Registration Statement, as to each Holder, only a
portion of the Registrable Securities such Holder has requested be registered equal to the ratio
which such Holder’s requested Registrable Securities bears to the total number of Registrable
Securities requested to be included in such Registration Statement by all Holders who have
requested that their Registrable Securities be included in such Registration Statement. It is
acknowledged by the parties hereto that, pursuant to the foregoing provision, the securities to be
included in a registration initiated by the Company shall be allocated:
(i) first, to the Company; and
(ii) second, pari passu among the Holders and all other holders of securities of the Company
with piggyback registration rights.
6
If as a result of the provisions of this Section 1.3(d), any Holder shall not be
entitled to include all of its Registrable Securities in a registration that such Holder has
requested to be so included, such Holder may withdraw such Holder’s request to include Registrable
Securities in such Registration Statement.
(e) Underwritten Offering. In the event that the Proposed Registration by the Company
is, in whole or in part, an underwritten public offering of securities of the Company, any request
under this Section 1.3 shall specify that the Registrable Securities be included in the
underwriting on the same terms and conditions as the shares, if any, otherwise being sold through
underwriters under such registration.
Section 1.4
Form S-3 Registration. Any Holder (an
“
Initiating Form S-3 Holder”) may
request, at any time, that the Company file a Registration Statement under the Securities Act on
Form S-3 (or similar or successor form) covering the sale or other distribution of all or any
portion of the Registrable Securities held by such Initiating Form S-3 Holder pursuant to Rule 415
under the Securities Act (“
Form S-3 Demand”) if (i) the reasonably anticipated aggregate gross
proceeds would equal or exceed $5,000,000, (ii) the Company is a registrant qualified to use Form
S-3 (or any similar or successor form) to register such Registrable Securities and (iii) the plan
of distribution of the Registrable Securities is other than pursuant to an underwritten public
offering. If such conditions are met, the Company shall use its best efforts to register under the
Securities Act on Form S-3 (or any similar or successor form) at the earliest practicable date, for
sale in accordance with the method of disposition specified in the Form S-3 Demand, the number of
Registrable Securities specified in such Form S-3 Demand. In connection with a Form S-3 Demand,
the Company agrees to include in the prospectus included in any Registration Statement on Form S-3,
such material describing the Company and intended to facilitate the sale of securities being so
registered as is reasonably requested for inclusion therein by the Initiating Form S-3 Holders,
whether or not the rules applicable to preparation of Form S-3 require the inclusion of such
information. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company shall furnish to the Initiating Form
S-3 Holders a certificate signed by the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the
Company stating that in the good faith opinion of the Board of Directors of the Company, a Valid
Business Reason exists, the Company shall have the right to delay or defer taking action with
respect to such filing for a period of ninety (90) days after receipt of the Form S-3 Demand;
provided,
however, that such right to delay or defer a Form S-3 Demand shall be
exercised by the Company not more than once in any twelve (12) month period, the Company shall only
have the right to delay a Form S-3 Demand so long as such Valid Business Reason exists, and during
such time the Company may not file a Registration Statement for securities to be issued and sold
for its own account or for that of any other Holders. Form S-3 Demands will not be deemed to be
Demand Requests as described in
Section 1.2 hereof and Holders shall have the right to
request an unlimited number of Form S-3 Demands. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall
not be obligated to file more than one (1) Registration Statement on Form S-3 pursuant to this
Section 1.4 in any given six (6) month period.
7
(a) Obligations of the Company. Whenever registration of Registrable Securities is
required pursuant to this Agreement, the Company shall use its best efforts to effect the
registration and sale of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method of
distribution thereof as promptly as possible, and in connection with any such request, the Company
shall, as expeditiously as possible:
(i) Preparation
of Registration Statement; Effectiveness. Prepare and file with the SEC (in
any event not later than ninety (90) days after receipt of a Demand Request to file a Registration
Statement with respect to Registrable Securities), a Registration Statement on any form on which
the Company then qualifies, which counsel for the Company shall deem appropriate and pursuant to
which such offering may be made in accordance with the intended method of distribution thereof
(except that the Registration Statement shall contain such information as may reasonably be
requested for marketing or other purposes by the managing underwriter), and use its best efforts to
cause any registration required hereunder to become effective as soon as practicable after the
initial filing thereof and remain effective for a period of not less than one hundred and eighty
(180) days (or such shorter period in which all Registrable Securities have been sold in accordance
with the methods of distribution set forth in the Registration Statement); provided,
however, that, in the case of any registration of Registrable Securities on Form S-3 that
are intended to be offered on a continuous or delayed basis, such one hundred eighty (180) day
period shall be extended, if necessary, to keep the Registration Statement effective until all such
Registrable Securities are sold, provided that Rule 415, or any successor rule under the
Securities Act, permits an offering on a continuous or delayed basis;
(ii) Participation
in Preparation. Provide any Participating Holder, any underwriter
participating in any disposition pursuant to a Registration Statement and any attorney, accountant
or other agent retained by any Participating Holder or underwriter (each, an “Inspector” and,
collectively, the “Inspectors”), the opportunity to reasonably participate (including, but not
limited to, reviewing, commenting on and attending all meetings) in the preparation of such
Registration Statement, each prospectus included therein or filed with the SEC and each amendment
or supplement thereto;
(iii) Due
Diligence. For a reasonable period prior to the filing of any Registration
Statement pursuant to this Agreement, make available for inspection and copying by the Inspectors
such financial and other information and books and records, pertinent corporate documents and
properties of the Company and its subsidiaries and cause the officers, directors, employees,
counsel and independent registered public accountants of the Company and its subsidiaries to
respond to such inquiries and to supply all information reasonably requested by any such Inspector
in connection with such Registration Statement, as shall be reasonably necessary, in the judgment
of the respective counsel referred to in Section 1.5(a)(ii), to conduct a reasonable
investigation within the meaning of the Securities Act;
(iv) General
Notifications. Promptly notify in writing the Participating Holders, the sales
or placement agent, if any, therefor and the managing underwriter of the securities being sold, (A)
when such Registration Statement or the prospectus included therein or any prospectus amendment or
supplement or post-effective amendment has been filed, and, with
8
respect to any such Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment, when the same has
become effective, (B) when the SEC notifies the Company whether there will be a “review” of such
Registration Statement and (C) of any comments (oral or written) by the SEC and by the blue sky or
securities commissioner or regulator of any state with respect thereto or (D) of any request by the
SEC for any amendments or supplements to such Registration Statement or the prospectus or for
additional information;
(v) 10b-5
Notification. Promptly notify in writing the Participating Holders, the sales or
placement agent, if any, therefor and the managing underwriter of the securities being sold
pursuant to any Registration Statement at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required
to be delivered under the Securities Act upon discovery that, or upon the happening of any event as
a result of which, any prospectus included in such Registration Statement (or amendment or
supplement thereto) contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in
light of the circumstances under which they were made, and the Company shall promptly prepare a
supplement or amendment to such prospectus and file it with the SEC (in any event no later than ten
(10) days following notice of the occurrence of such event to each Participating Holder, the sales
or placement agent and the managing underwriter) so that after delivery of such prospectus, as so
amended or supplemented, to the purchasers of such Registrable Securities, such prospectus, as so
amended or supplemented, shall not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state
any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading in light of the circumstances under which they were made;
(vi) Notification
of Stop Orders; Suspensions of Qualifications and Exemptions. Promptly
notify in writing the Participating Holders, the sales or placement agent, if any, therefor and the
managing underwriter of the securities being sold of the issuance by the SEC of (A) any stop order
issued or threatened to be issued by the SEC or (B) any notification with respect to the suspension
of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale
in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose, and the
Company agrees to use commercially reasonable best efforts to (x) prevent the issuance of any such
stop order, and in the event of such issuance, to obtain the withdrawal of any such stop order and
(y) obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending or preventing the use of any related prospectus
or suspending the qualification of any Registrable Securities included in such Registration
Statement for sale in any jurisdiction at the earliest practicable date;
(vii) Amendments
and Supplements; Acceleration. Prepare and file with the SEC such
amendments, including post-effective amendments to each Registration Statement as may be necessary
to keep such Registration Statement continuously effective for the applicable time period required
hereunder and, if applicable, file any Registration Statements pursuant to Rule 462(b) under the
Securities Act; cause the related prospectus to be supplemented by any required prospectus
supplement, and as so supplemented to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 (or any similar provisions then
in force) promulgated under the Securities Act; and comply with the provisions of the Securities
Act and the Exchange Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such
Registration Statement during such period in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by
the sellers thereof set forth in such Registration Statement as
9
so amended or in such prospectus as so supplemented. If a majority in interest of the
Participating Holders so request, to request acceleration of effectiveness of the Registration
Statement from the SEC and any post-effective amendments thereto, if any are filed;
provided that at the time of such request, the Company does not in good faith believe that
it is necessary to amend further the Registration Statement in order to comply with the provisions
of this subparagraph. If the Company wishes to further amend the Registration Statement prior to
requesting acceleration, it shall have five (5) days to so amend prior to requesting acceleration;
(viii) Copies. Furnish as promptly as practicable to each Participating Holder and Inspector
prior to filing a Registration Statement or any supplement or amendment thereto, copies of such
Registration Statement, supplement or amendment as it is proposed to be filed, and after such
filing such number of copies of such Registration Statement, each amendment and supplement thereto
(in each case including all exhibits thereto), the prospectus included in such Registration
Statement (including each preliminary prospectus) and such other documents as each such
Participating Holder or underwriter may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition
of the Registrable Securities owned by such Participating Holder;
(ix) Blue
Sky. Use commercially reasonable efforts to, prior to any public offering of the
Registrable Securities, register or qualify (or seek an exemption from registration or
qualifications) such Registrable Securities under such other securities or blue sky laws of such
jurisdictions as any Participating Holder or underwriter may request, and to continue such
qualification in effect in each such jurisdiction for as long as is permissible pursuant to the
laws of such jurisdiction, or for as long as a Participating Holder or underwriter requests or
until all of such Registrable Securities are sold, whichever is shortest, and do any and all other
acts and things which may be reasonably necessary or advisable to enable any Participating Holder
to consummate the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities;
(x) Other
Approvals. Use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all other approvals,
consents, exemptions or authorizations from such governmental agencies or authorities as may be
necessary to enable the Participating Holders and underwriters to consummate the disposition of
Registrable Securities;
(xi) Agreements. Enter into customary agreements (including any underwriting agreements in
customary form), and take such other actions as may be reasonably required in order to expedite or
facilitate the disposition of Registrable Securities;
(xii) “Cold
Comfort” Letter. Obtain a “cold comfort” letter from the Company’s independent
public accountants in customary form and covering such matters of the type customarily covered by
“cold comfort” letters as the managing underwriter may reasonably request, and reasonably
satisfactory to a majority in interest of the Participating Holders;
(xiii) Legal
Opinion. Furnish, at the request of any underwriter of Registrable Securities on
the date such securities are delivered to the underwriters for sale pursuant to such registration,
an opinion, dated such date, of counsel representing the Company for the purposes of such
registration, addressed to the Holders, and the placement agent or sales agent, if any, thereof and
the underwriters, if any, thereof, covering such legal matters with respect to the registration in
respect of which such opinion is being given as such underwriter may reasonably
10
request and as are customarily included in such opinions, and reasonably satisfactory to a
majority in interest of the Participating Holders;
(xiv) SEC

Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder;
(xv) Certificates,

participate in a “road show” or similar marketing effort being conducted by such underwriter with
respect to an underwritten public offering;
(xviii) Listing. Use its best efforts to cause all such Registrable Securities to be listed
on each securities exchange on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed and
if not so listed, to be eligible for quotation on the NASD automated quotation system;

actions necessary to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities contemplated hereby.
(b) Seller Information. The Company may require each Participating Holder as to which
any registration of such Holder’s Registrable Securities is being effected to furnish the Company
with such information regarding such Participating Holder and such Participating Holder’s method of
distribution of such Registrable Securities as the Company may from time to time reasonably request
in writing.
(c) Notice to Discontinue. Each Participating Holder whose Registrable Securities are
covered by a Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Agreement agrees that, upon receipt of
written notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section
1.5(a)(v), such Participating Holder shall forthwith discontinue the disposition of Registrable
Securities until such Participating Holder’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented
11
or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 1.5(a)(v) or until it is advised in
writing by the Company that the use of the prospectus may be resumed and has received copies of any
additional or supplemental filings which are incorporated by reference into the prospectus, and, if
so directed by the Company in the case of an event described in Section 1.5(a)(v), such
Participating Holder shall deliver to the Company (at the Company’s expense) all copies, other than
permanent file copies then in such Participating Holder’s possession, of the prospectus covering
such Registrable Securities which is current at the time of receipt of such notice. If the Company
shall give any such notice, the Company shall extend the period during which such Registration
Statement is to be maintained effective by the number of days during the period from and including
the date of the giving of such notice pursuant to Section 1.5(a)(v) to and including the
date when the Participating Holder shall have received the copies of the supplemented or amended
prospectus contemplated by, and meeting the requirements of, Section 1.5(a)(v).
Section 1.6. Registration Expenses. Except as otherwise provided herein, all
Registration Expenses shall be borne by the Company. All Selling Expenses relating to Registrable
Securities registered shall be borne by the Participating Holders of such Registrable Securities
pro rata on the basis of the number of shares so registered.
(a) Indemnification by the Company. The Company agrees, notwithstanding termination
of this Agreement, to indemnify and hold harmless to the fullest extent permitted by law, each
Holder, each of its directors, officers, employees, advisors, agents and general or limited
partners (and the directors, officers, employees, advisors and agents thereof), their respective
Affiliates and each Person who controls (within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange
Act) any of such Persons, and each underwriter and each Person who controls (within the meaning of
the Securities Act or the Exchange Act) any underwriter
(collectively, “Holder Indemnified
Parties”) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, expenses (including, without
limitation, reasonable costs of investigation and fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel,
any amounts paid in settlement effected with the Company’s consent, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed and any costs incurred in enforcing the Company’s indemnification
obligations hereunder) or other liabilities (collectively,
“Losses”) to which any such Holder
Indemnified Party may become subject under the Securities Act, Exchange Act, any other federal law,
any state or common law or any rule or regulation promulgated thereunder or otherwise, insofar as
such Losses (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) are
resulting from or arising out of or based upon (i) any untrue, or alleged untrue, statement of a
material fact contained in any Registration Statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus (as
amended or supplemented) or any document incorporated by reference in any of the foregoing or
resulting from or arising out of or based upon any omission, or alleged omission, to state therein
a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the
case of a prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made), not misleading or
(ii) any violation by the Company of the Securities Act, Exchange Act, any other federal law, any
state or common law or any rule or regulation promulgated thereunder or otherwise incident to any
registration, qualification or compliance and in any such case, the Company will promptly reimburse
each such Holder Indemnified Party for any legal and any other Losses reasonably incurred in
12
connection with investigating, preparing or defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability,
action or investigation or proceeding (collectively, a
“Claim”); provided, however,
that the Company shall not be liable to any Holder Indemnified Party for any Losses that arise out
of or are based upon written information provided by a Holder Indemnified Party specifically
stating it is for use in the Registration Statement. Such indemnity obligation shall remain in
full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Holder
Indemnified Parties and shall survive the transfer of Registrable Securities by such Holder
Indemnified Parties.
(b) Indemnification by Holders. In connection with any proposed registration in which
a Holder is participating pursuant to this Agreement, each such Holder shall furnish to the Company
in writing such information with respect to such Holder as the Company may reasonably request or as
may be required by law for use in connection with any Registration Statement or prospectus or
preliminary prospectus to be used in connection with such registration and each Holder agrees,
severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, any underwriter retained by
the Company and their respective directors, officers, partners, employees, advisors and agents,
their respective Affiliates and each Person who controls (within the meaning of the Securities Act
or the Exchange Act) any of such Persons to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the
Company to the Holders as set forth in Section 1.7(a) (subject to the exceptions set forth
in the foregoing indemnity, the proviso to this sentence and applicable law), but only with respect
to any such information furnished in writing by such Holder expressly for use therein;
provided, however, that the liability of any Holder under this Section
1.7(b) shall be limited to the amount of the net proceeds received by such Holder in the
offering giving rise to such liability. Such indemnity obligation shall remain in full force and
effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Holder Indemnified Parties
(except as provided above) and shall survive the transfer of Registrable Securities by such Holder.
(c) Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. Any Person entitled to indemnification
hereunder (the “Indemnified Party”) agrees to give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party
(the “Indemnifying Party”) after the receipt by the Indemnified Party of any written notice of the
commencement of any action, suit, proceeding or investigation or threat thereof made in writing for
which the Indemnified Party intends to claim indemnification or contribution pursuant to this
Agreement; provided, however, that, the failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party
shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of any liability that it may have to the Indemnified Party
hereunder unless and to the extent such Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such
failure. If notice of commencement of any such action is given to the Indemnifying Party as above
provided, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in and, to the extent it may
wish, jointly with any other Indemnifying Party similarly notified, to assume the defense of such
action at its own expense, with counsel chosen by it and reasonably satisfactory to such
Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any
such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall
be paid by the Indemnified Party unless (i) the Indemnifying Party agrees to pay the same, (ii) the
Indemnifying Party fails to assume the defense of such action with counsel satisfactory to the
Indemnified Party in its reasonable judgment or (iii) the named parties to any such action
(including, but not limited to, any impleaded parties) reasonably believe that the representation
of such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party by the same counsel would be inappropriate
under applicable standards of professional conduct. In the case of clause (ii) above
13
and (iii) above, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such
action on behalf of such Indemnified Party. No Indemnifying Party shall be liable for any
settlement entered into without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the written consent of the Indemnified Party,
effect the settlement of, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, any
pending or threatened action or claim in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be
sought hereunder (whether or not the Indemnified Party is an actual or potential party to such
action or claim) unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (A) includes an unconditional
release of the Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such action or claim and (B)
does not include a statement as to, or an admission of, fault, culpability or a failure to act by
or on behalf of any Indemnified Party. The rights afforded to any Indemnified Party hereunder
shall be in addition to any rights that such Indemnified Party may have at common law, by separate
agreement or otherwise.
(d) Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 1.7
from the Indemnifying Party is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an Indemnified Party in
respect of any Losses referred to herein, then the Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying the
Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Indemnified Party as a
result of such Losses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the
Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party, as well as any other relevant equitable
considerations. The relative faults of the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall be
determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any
untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a
material fact, was made by, or relates to information supplied by, such Indemnifying Party or
Indemnified Party, and the Indemnifying Party’s and Indemnified Party’s relative intent, knowledge,
access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action; provided,
however, that the liability of any Holder under this Section 1.7(d) shall be
limited to the amount of the net proceeds received by such Holder in the offering giving rise to
such liability. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the Losses or other
liabilities referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in
Sections 1.7(a), 1.7(b) and 1.7(c), any legal or other fees, charges or
expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding.
The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to
this Section 1.7(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of
allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the
immediately preceding paragraph. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the
meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution pursuant to this
Section 1.7(d).
Section 1.8. Rule 144 and Rule 144A; Other Exemptions. With a view to making available
to the Holders the benefits of Rule 144 and Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act and
other rules and regulations of the SEC that may at any time permit a Holder to sell securities of
the Company to the public without registration, the Company covenants that it shall (i) file in a
timely manner all reports and other documents required to be filed by it under the Securities Act
and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC thereunder and (ii) take
such further action as each Holder may reasonably request (including,
14
but not limited to, providing any information necessary to comply with Rule 144 and Rule 144A, if
available with respect to resales of the Registrable Securities under the Securities Act), all to
the extent required from time to time to enable such Holder to sell Registrable Securities without
registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by (x) Rule
144 and Rule 144A (if available with respect to resales of the Registrable Securities) under the
Securities Act, as such rules may be amended from time to time or (y) any other rules or
regulations now existing or hereafter adopted by the SEC. Upon the written request of a Holder,
the Company shall deliver to the Holder a written statement as to whether it has complied with such
requirements.
Section 1.9. Certain Limitations On Registration Rights. No Holder may
participate in any Registration Statement hereunder unless such Holder completes and executes all
questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents
reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements and agrees to sell such
Holder’s Registrable Securities on the basis provided in any underwriting agreement approved by the
Holder or Holders entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements;
provided,
however, that no such Holder shall be required to make any representations or warranties to
the Company or the underwriters in connection with any such registration other than representations
and warranties as to (i) such Holder’s ownership of its Registrable Securities to be sold or
transferred, (ii) such Holder’s power and authority to effect such transfer and (iii) such matters
pertaining to compliance with securities laws as may be reasonably requested. Such Holders of
Registrable Securities to be sold by such underwriters may, at their option, require that any or
all of the representations and warranties by, and the other agreements on the part of the Company
to and for the benefit of such underwriters, shall also be made to and for the benefit of such
Holders and that any or all of the conditions precedent to the obligations of the underwriters
under the underwriting agreement be conditions precedent to the obligations of the Holders.
Section 1.10. Limitations on Subsequent Registration Rights. The Company agrees that
from and after the date of this Agreement, it shall not, without the prior written consent of the
Holders of at least 51% of the Registrable Securities then outstanding, enter into any agreement
(or amendment or waiver of the provisions of any agreement) with any holder or prospective holder
of any securities of the Company that would grant such holder registration rights that are more
favorable, pari passu or senior to those granted to the Purchaser hereunder.
Section 1.11. Transfer of Registration Rights. The rights of a Holder hereunder may be
transferred or assigned in connection with a transfer of Registrable Securities to (i) any
Affiliate of a Holder, (ii) any subsidiary, parent, partner, limited partner, shareholder or member
of a Holder or (iii) any party or parties to a transaction or series of related transactions who,
after such transaction, holds or collectively hold at least 1,000,000 shares of Registrable
Securities (as adjusted for any stock dividends, stock splits, combinations and reorganizations and
similar events). Notwithstanding the foregoing, such rights may only be transferred or assigned
provided that all of the following additional conditions are satisfied: (a) such transfer or
assignment is effected in accordance with applicable securities laws; (b) such transferee or
assignee agrees in writing to become subject to the terms of this Agreement; and (c) the Company is
given written notice by such Holder of such transfer or assignment, stating the name and address of
the transferee or assignee and identifying the Registrable Securities with respect to which such
rights are being transferred or assigned.

accordance with, the laws of the State of Texas, without giving effect to any choice of law
principles.
(a) Submission to Jurisdiction. Any action, suit or proceeding seeking to enforce any
provision of, or based on any matter arising out of or in connection with, this Agreement shall
only be brought in any federal court located in Dallas County, Texas or any Texas state court
located in Dallas County, Texas, and each party consents to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of
such courts (and of the appropriate appellate courts therefrom) in any such action, suit or
proceeding and irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection that it
may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such action, suit or proceeding in any
such court or that any such action, suit or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought
in an inconvenient forum. Process in any such action, suit or proceeding may be served on any
party anywhere in the world, whether within or without the jurisdiction of any such court. Without
limiting the foregoing, service of process on such party as provided in Section 4.3 shall
be deemed effective service of process on such party.
(b) Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ANY DISPUTE THAT MAY ARISE OUT
OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND
THEREFORE SUCH PARTY HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO JURY TRIAL OF ANY DISPUTE BASED UPON OR
ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER AGREEMENTS RELATING HERETO OR ANY DEALINGS AMONG THEM
RELATING TO THE MATTERS CONTEMPLATED HEREIN. THE SCOPE OF THIS WAIVER IS INTENDED TO ENCOMPASS ANY
AND ALL ACTIONS, SUITS AND PROCEEDINGS
23
THAT RELATE TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS AGREEMENT AND CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, INCLUDING CONTRACT
CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS, BREACH OF DUTY CLAIMS, AND ALL OTHER COMMON LAW AND STATUTORY CLAIMS. EACH
PARTY HEREBY REPRESENTS THAT (i) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS
REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT IN THE EVENT OF ANY ACTION,
SUIT OR PROCEEDING, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (ii) SUCH PARTY UNDERSTANDS, AND WITH THE
ADVICE OF COUNSEL HAS CONSIDERED, THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (iii) SUCH PARTY MAKES THIS
WAIVER VOLUNTARILY AND (iv) SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG
OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND REPRESENTATIONS IN THIS SECTION 4.5(b).
Section 4.6 Headings. The article and section headings contained in this Agreement
are inserted for convenience only and will not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of
this Agreement.
Section 4.7 Amendments. This Agreement may be amended only by a written instrument
signed by the Company, the Purchaser and the Holders of at least a majority of the Registrable
Securities, except for
Article III, which may be amended only by a written instrument
signed by the Company, the Purchaser and the Founders.
Section 4.8 Extensions; Waivers. Any party may, for itself only, (a) extend the time
for the performance of any of the obligations of any other party under this Agreement, (b) waive
any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of any other party contained herein or in
any document delivered pursuant hereto and (c) waive compliance with any of the agreements or
conditions for the benefit of such party contained herein. Any such extension or waiver will be
valid only if set forth in a writing signed by the party to be bound thereby. No waiver by any
party of any default, misrepresentation or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder, whether
intentional or not, may be deemed to extend to any prior or subsequent default, misrepresentation
or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder or affect in any way any rights arising because of any
prior or subsequent such occurrence. Neither the failure nor any delay on the part of any party to
exercise any right or remedy under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any
single or partial exercise of any right or remedy preclude any other or further exercise of the
same or of any other right or remedy.
Section 4.9 Severability. The provisions of this Agreement will be deemed severable
and the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision will not affect the validity or
enforceability of the other provisions hereof; provided that if any provision of this Agreement, as
applied to any party or to any circumstance, is judicially determined not to be enforceable in
accordance with its terms, the parties agree that the court judicially making such determination
may modify the provision in a manner consistent with its objectives such that it is enforceable,
and/or to delete specific words or phrases, and in its modified form, such provision will then be
enforceable and will be enforced.
24
Section 4.10 Counterparts; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in two or
more counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original but all of which together will
constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement will become effective when one or more
counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered to the other parties. For
purposes of determining whether a party has signed this Agreement or any document contemplated
hereby or any amendment or waiver hereof, only a handwritten original signature on a paper document
or a facsimile copy of such a handwritten original signature shall constitute a signature,
notwithstanding any law relating to or enabling the creation, execution or delivery of any contract
or signature by electronic means.
Section 4.11 Specific Performance; Remedies. Each party acknowledges and agrees that
the other parties would be damaged irreparably if any provision of this Agreement were not
performed in accordance with its specific terms or were otherwise breached. Accordingly, the
parties will be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of the provisions of
this Agreement and to enforce specifically this Agreement and its provisions in any action or
proceeding instituted in any court of the United States or any state thereof having jurisdiction
over the parties and the matter, in addition to any other remedy to which they may be entitled, at
law or in equity. Except as expressly provided herein, the rights, obligations and remedies
created by this Agreement are cumulative and in addition to any other rights, obligations or
remedies otherwise available at law or in equity. Except as expressly provided herein, nothing
herein will be considered an election of remedies.
Section 4.12 Construction. This Agreement has been freely and fairly negotiated
among the parties. If an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement
will be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties and no presumption or burden of proof will
arise favoring or disfavoring any party because of the authorship of any provision of this
Agreement. Any reference to any law will be deemed to refer to such law as in effect on the date
hereof and all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, unless the context requires otherwise.
The words “include,” “includes,” and “including” will be deemed to be followed by “without
limitation.” Pronouns in masculine, feminine and neuter genders will be construed to include any
other gender, and words in the singular form will be construed to include the plural and vice
versa, unless the context otherwise requires. The words “this Agreement,” “herein,” “hereof,”
“hereby,” “hereunder,” and words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to
any particular subdivision unless expressly so limited. The parties intend that each
representation, warranty and covenant contained herein will have independent significance. If any
party has breached any covenant contained herein in any respect, the fact that there exists another
covenant relating to the same subject matter (regardless of the relative levels of specificity)
which the party has not breached will not detract from or mitigate the fact that the party is in
breach of the first covenant.

8. Exclusive Use of Talent and Duty of Loyalty. During the Term, Employee shall not
perform, directly or indirectly, any duties or provide any consultative or related services for any
other entity or person, nor, directly or indirectly, control or otherwise be involved in any
business that is competitive with the Company. Employee agrees to exercise a duty of loyalty and
fidelity to the Company during the Term.
9. Termination.
A. The Company shall have the right to terminate the employment of Employee under this
Agreement for cause immediately upon written notice to Employee. For purposes of this Agreement,
“cause” shall mean the occurrence of any of the following:
(i) Employee’s failure to perform any of the duties, obligations or responsibilities
contemplated by this Agreement;
(ii) The death of Employee;
(iii) The disability of Employee (meaning the physical or mental inability of Employee to
perform the essential functions of his position, with or without reasonable accommodation as
required by law, for a period of 90 consecutive days or 90 days in a 180 day period, as determined
by a physician selected by the Company); provided, however, that termination of employment due to
disability shall not occur until Employee has exhausted all leave entitlement, if any, under the
Family and Medical Leave Act;
(iv) Employee intentionally and knowingly uses or possesses illegal drugs at any time, or
intentionally and knowingly abuses alcohol while in the course and scope of his employment with the
Company or is impaired by alcohol while driving any vehicle; or
(v) Employee’s conviction or pleading nolo contendere to any felony or misdemeanor, other than
minor traffic violations or similar offenses.
-4-
Upon termination of Employee’s employment with the Company under this Paragraph 9A, the
Term shall end, and the Company will have no obligation to provide or pay any compensation or
other payments to Employee under this Agreement that would have otherwise accrued after such
termination date.
B. The Company may also terminate this Agreement upon written notice to Employee on account of
any reason other than as provided in Paragraph 9A. Upon such termination of Employee’s
employment with the Company under this Paragraph 9B, the Term shall end, and the Company
shall have no obligation to provide or pay any compensation or other payments to Employee hereunder
accruing after such termination date, except that such termination shall in no way affect
Employee’s right to receive the lesser of (i) the aggregate of the sums payable pursuant to
Paragraph 3 for the remaining term of this Agreement in the amounts and at the times called
for by such paragraph and (ii) a sum equal to the Employee’s then current annual compensation under
Paragraph 3 payable in accordance with the regular payroll practices of the Company over a
period of one year following the date of termination of this Agreement, in each case subject to the
offset provisions of Paragraph 10 below This provision shall survive such termination.
10. Right of Offset. In the event the Company shall terminate this Agreement other
than for cause, as defined by this Agreement, the Company shall be entitled to offset any remaining
salary due to Employee pursuant to Paragraph 9B hereof against any compensation received by
Employee during the period the Company is required to continue payments to Employee hereunder. In
the event the Company shall determine that the compensation received by Employee for such
subsequent employment is below a rate reasonable for such employment, the Company shall instead be
entitled to offset compensation still owing to Employee against such reasonable rate. This
provision shall survive such termination.
-5-
11. Confidential Information.
A. Company Information. Employee hereby covenants and agrees at all times during the
Term and thereafter to hold in strictest confidence, and not to use, except for the benefit of the
Company, or to disclose to any person, firm or corporation without written authorization of the
Company’s Board of Directors, any of the Company’s Confidential Information (as defined herein). Employee hereby understands and acknowledges that
“Confidential Information” means any and all information that relates to the Company’s
actual or anticipated business or research and development, technical data, trade secrets or
know-how, including, but not limited to, research, product plans or other information regarding the
Company’s products or services and markets therefor, customer lists and customers (including, but
not limited to, the Company’s customers on whom Employee called or with whom Employee became
acquainted during the Term), software, developments, inventions, processes, formulas, technology,
designs, drawings, engineering, hardware configuration information, marketing, finances or other
business information. Employee further understands that Confidential Information does not include
any of the foregoing items that is or becomes publicly known through no wrongful act or omission of
Employee or of others who were under confidentiality obligations as to the item or items involved.
Further, Employee shall not write, or supply information to others for the purpose of writing, any
books, periodicals or other publications (including fictional accounts) concerning any current or
former employer, partner or indirect or direct owner of the Company or communicate with reporters
or other members of the media concerning any such persons or any such Confidential Information.
Employee acknowledges and agrees that any and all information and reports obtained or produced by
Employee in the performance of his duties and responsibilities hereunder shall at all times remain
the confidential property of the Company. This provision shall survive the termination or
expiration of this Agreement.
B. Third Party Information. Employee recognizes that the Company has received, and in
the future will receive, from third parties their confidential or proprietary information, subject to a duty on the Company’s part to maintain the confidentiality of such information and to use it
only for certain limited purposes. Employee hereby agrees to hold all
-6-
such confidential or
proprietary information in the strictest confidence, and not to disclose it to any person, firm or
corporation or to use it, except as necessary in carrying out his work for the Company consistent
with the Company’s agreement with such third party.
12. Inventions.
A. Inventions Retained and Licensed. Employee has attached hereto as Exhibit
A a list describing all inventions, original works of authorship, developments, improvements
and trade secrets that (i) were made by Employee prior to the Effective Date, (ii) belong to
Employee, (iii) relate to the Company’s proposed business, products or research and development and
(iv) are not assigned to the Company hereunder (collectively, “Prior Inventions”); or, if
no such list is attached, Employee represents and warrants to the Company that there are no such
Prior Inventions. Employee hereby agrees that he will not incorporate, or permit to be
incorporated, any Prior Invention owned by Employee or in which Employee has an interest into a
Company product, process or service without the Company’s prior written consent. Notwithstanding
the foregoing sentence, if, in the course of Employee’s employment with the Company, Employee
incorporates into a Company product, process or service a Prior Invention owned by Employee or in
which Employee has an interest, Employee hereby grants to the Company a nonexclusive, royalty-free,
fully paid-up, irrevocable, perpetual, worldwide license to make, have made, modify, use and sell
such Prior Invention as part of, or in connection with, such product, process or service, and to
practice any method related thereto.
B. Assignment of Inventions. Employee hereby covenants and agrees that Employee will
promptly make full written disclosure to the Company, will hold in trust for the sole right and
benefit of the Company, and hereby assign to the Company, or its designee, all Employee’s right,
title and interest in and to any and all inventions, original works of authorship, developments,
concepts, improvements, designs, discoveries, ideas, trademarks or trade secrets, whether or not
patentable or registrable under copyright or similar laws, which Employee may, solely or jointly,
conceive or develop or reduce to practice, or has or cause to be conceived or developed or reduced
to practice, prior to or during the period of time Employee is in the employ of the Company
(collectively, “Inventions”). Employee further acknowledges and understands that all
original works of authorship that are made by Employee (solely or jointly with others)
-7-
within the
scope of and during the period of Employee’s employment with the Company and that are protectable
by copyright are “works made for hire,” as that term is defined in the United States Copyright Act.
Employee hereby understands and agrees that the decision whether or not to commercialize or market
any Invention is within the Company’s sole discretion and for the
Company’s sole benefit and that no royalty will be due to Employee as a result of the
Company’s efforts to commercialize or market any such Invention.
C. Inventions Assigned to the United States. Employee hereby covenants and agrees to
assign to the United States government all Employee’s right, title and interest in and to any and
all Inventions whenever such full title is required to be in the United States by a contract
between the Company and the United States or any of its agencies.
D. Maintenance of Records. Employee hereby agrees to keep and maintain adequate and
current written records of all Inventions during the term of Employee’s employment with the
Company. The records will be in the form of notes, sketches, drawings and any other format that
may be specified by the Company. The records will be available to the Company and remain the
Company’s sole property at all times.
E. Patent and Copyright Registrations. Employee hereby covenants and agrees to assist
the Company, or its designee, at the Company’s expense, in every proper way to secure the Company’s
rights in any Inventions and any copyrights, patents, mask work rights or other intellectual
property rights relating thereto in any and all countries, including, but not limited to, the
disclosure to the Company of all pertinent information and data with respect thereto, the execution
of all applications, specifications, oaths, assignments and all other instruments that the Company
deems necessary in order to apply for and obtain such rights and in order to assign and convey to
the Company, its successors, assigns, and nominees the sole and exclusive rights, title and
interest in and to such Inventions, and any copyrights, patents, mask work rights or other
intellectual property rights relating thereto. Employee hereby further agrees that Employee’s
obligation to execute, or cause to be executed, when it is in Employee’s power to do so, any such
instrument or papers shall continue after the termination of this Agreement. If the Company is
unable because of Employee’s mental or physical incapacity or for any other
-8-
reason to secure
Employee’s signature to apply for or to pursue any application for any United States or foreign
patents or copyright registrations covering any Inventions or original works of authorship assigned
to the Company as above, then Employee hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Company and
its duly authorized officers and agents as Employee’s agent and attorney in fact, to act for and in Employee’s behalf and stead to execute and file any such applications and to do
all other lawfully permitted acts to further the prosecution and issuance of letters patent or
copyright registrations thereon with the same legal force and effect as if executed by Employee.
13. Solicitation of Employees. Employee hereby agrees that for a period of two (2)
years immediately following the termination of Employee’s relationship with the Company for any
reason (whether with or without cause, at the option either of the Company or Employee, with or
without notice), Employee will not, either directly or indirectly, solicit, induce, recruit or
encourage any of the Company’s employees to leave their employment or contractors to terminate
their relationship with the Company, or hire or take away such employees or contractors, or attempt
to solicit, induce, recruit, encourage, hire or take away employees or contractors of the Company,
either for himself or for any other person or entity.
14. Interference. Employee hereby agrees that during the course of Employee’s
employment and for a period of two (2) years immediately following the termination of Employee’s
relationship with the Company for any reason (whether with or without cause, at the option either
of the Company or Employee, with or without notice), Employee will not, either directly or
indirectly, interfere with the Company’s relationships with any of its customers or clients whom
Employee served or whose names became known to Employee during the course of Employee’s employment
(“Covered Clients or Customers”). This paragraph is geographically limited to any location
or place of business where a Covered Client or Customer is present and available for solicitation
at that time. Employee hereby acknowledges that he may not avoid the purpose and intent of this
paragraph by engaging in conduct within the geographically limited area from a remote location
through means such as telecommunications, written correspondence, computer generated or assisted
communications, or other similar methods.
-9-
15. Covenant Not to Compete.
A. Employee hereby covenants and agrees that during the Term and for a period of two (2) years
immediately following the termination of Employee’s relationship with the Company for any reason
(whether with or without cause, at the option either of the Company or Employee, with or without
notice), Employee will not without the Company’s prior written consent, either directly or
indirectly, (i) serve in any capacity that could require Employee to use any of the Confidential
Information, goodwill or training that Employee received or had access to during Employee’s
employment with the Company, including, as an advisor, agent, supervisor, consultant, contractor,
director, employee, officer, partner, proprietor or otherwise of, (ii) have any ownership interest
in (except for passive ownership of one percent (1%) or less of any entity whose securities have
been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or Section 12 of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) or (iii) participate in the organization, financing, operation,
management or control of, any business in competition with the Company’s business as conducted by
the Company during the course of Employee’s employment with the Company (including any customer of
the Company). The foregoing covenant shall cover Employee’s activities in every part of the
Territory (as defined herein). “Territory” shall mean (i) all counties in the State of
Texas, (ii) all other states of the United States of America and (iii) all other countries of the
world; provided that, with respect to clauses (ii) and (iii), the Company either (1) derives at
least five percent (5%) of its gross revenues from such geographic area prior to the date of the
termination of Employee’s relationship with the Company or (2) has active plans for the
introduction of such product or services in such geographic area within six (6) months of the date
of the termination of Employee’s relationship with the Company. Employee stipulates that the
foregoing is a reasonable geographic area because of the scope of the Company’s operations and
Employee’s activities, and that this paragraph creates a narrowly tailored advance approval
requirement in order to avoid unfair competition and irreparable harm to Company and is not
intended or to be construed as a general restraint from engaging in a lawful profession or a
general covenant against competition. Further, Employee hereby agrees that Employee may not avoid
the purpose and intent of this paragraph by engaging in conduct within the geographically limited
area from a remote location through means such as telecommunications, written correspondence,
computer generated or
-10-
assisted communications, or other similar methods.
B. Employee hereby understands and acknowledges that Employee’s fulfillment of the obligations
contained in this Agreement, including, but not limited to, Employee’s obligation neither to use,
except for the benefit of the Company, or to disclose the Company’s Confidential Information and
Employee’s obligation not to compete contained in Paragraph 15.A. above is necessary to
protect the Company’s Confidential Information and to preserve the Company’s value and goodwill.
Employee hereby further acknowledges the time, geographic and scope limitations of Employee’s
obligations under Paragraph 15.A. above are reasonable, especially in light of the
Company’s desire to protect its Confidential Information, and that Employee will not be precluded
from gainful employment if Employee is obligated not to compete with the Company during the period
and within the Territory as described above.
C. The covenants contained in Paragraph 15.A. above shall be construed as a series of
separate covenants, one for each city, county and state of any geographic area in the Territory.
Except for geographic coverage, each such separate covenant shall be deemed identical in terms to
the covenant contained in Paragraph 15.A. above. If, in any judicial proceeding, a court
refuses to enforce any of such separate covenants (or any part thereof), then such unenforceable
covenant (or such part) shall be eliminated from this Agreement to the extent necessary to permit
the remaining separate covenants (or portions thereof) to be enforced. In the event the provisions
of Paragraph 15.A. above are deemed to exceed the time, geographic or scope limitations
permitted by applicable law, then such provisions shall be reformed to the maximum time, geographic
or scope limitations, as the case may be, then permitted by such law.
16. Returning Company Documents, etc. Employee hereby agrees that, at the time of
leaving the employ of the Company, Employee will deliver to the Company (and will not keep in his
possession, recreate or deliver to anyone else) any and all devices, records, data, notes, reports,
proposals, lists, correspondence, specifications, drawings, blueprints, sketches, materials,
equipment, other documents or property, or reproductions of any aforementioned items developed by
Employee pursuant to his employment with the Company or otherwise belonging to the Company, its
successors or assigns, including, but not limited to, those records
-11-
maintained pursuant to Paragraph 12.D. above. In the event of the termination of Employee’s
employment, Employee hereby agrees to sign and deliver the “Termination Certification” attached
hereto as Exhibit B.
17. Survival of Covenants. Each of the provisions or restrictions set forth in
Paragraphs 6B. 9B, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 19, 21 and 22 hereof shall survive the
termination of Employee’s employment with Company. Further, the existence of any claim or cause of
action by Employee against Company, whether predicated on this Agreement or otherwise, shall not
constitute a defense to enforcement by Company of such provisions or restrictions, and in the event
an enforcement remedy is sought for Employee’s violation of any of those provisions or
restrictions, the time periods provided for in such paragraphs, if any, shall be extended by one
day for each day Employee failed to comply with the provision or restriction at issue.
18. Standards. Employee shall comply with the Company’s policies for its employees as
adopted from time to time and shall act at all times with due regard to public convention and
morals, and shall refrain from engaging in conduct, committing any act or becoming involved in any
situation or occurrence that will bring Employee into public disrepute, scandal, contempt or
ridicule or which prejudices or is detrimental to the Company, its owners or employees.
19. Notification of New Employer. In the event that Employee leaves the employ of the
Company, Employee hereby grants consent to notification by the Company to Employee’s new employer
about Employee’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.
20. Further Assurances; No Conflict. Employee agrees to execute any proper oath or
verify any proper document required to carry out the terms of this Agreement. Employee represents
that his performance of all the terms of this Agreement will not breach any agreement to keep in
confidence proprietary information acquired by Employee in confidence or in trust prior to his
employment by the Company. Employee has not entered into, and Employee agrees that Employee will
not enter into, any oral or written agreement in conflict herewith.
-12-
21. Attorneys’ Fees. If either party hereto commences any action or proceeding in
connection with or to enforce or interpret any term or provision of this Agreement, the prevailing
party, as determined by the persons or persons who try the facts, shall be entitled to receive from
the losing party such prevailing party’s reasonable and necessary attorneys’ fees and costs
incurred in connection therewith.
22. Limit of Liability. No liability or obligation of any sort to Employee shall
exist until Employee gives the Company written notice of his claim and the Company fails to cure or
remedy the claim within thirty (30) days of Employee’s written notice. Any such liability or
obligation shall come solely from the assets of the Company, and no owner, partner, shareholder,
officer, employee or director of the Company shall be individually or personally liable for any
claim, liability or obligations arising under this Agreement or arising out of Employee’s
employment. This provision shall survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement.
23. Headings. Paragraph headings in this Agreement shall not affect in any way the
meaning or interpretation of any provisions of this Agreement.
24. Severability. The illegality, invalidity or unenforceability of a provision
herein shall not affect the legality, validity or enforceability of any other provision herein.
25. Notices. All notices or communications to either party hereunder shall be in
writing and shall be deemed given when personally delivered, or when mailed by certified mail,
return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed as follows:
