2. Registration Rights.
-------------------
a. Demand Registration. Upon the written request from any
-------------------
Initiating Holder ("Requesting Initiating Holder") that the Company effect any
registration with respect to all or any portion of the Registrable Securities
(other than a registration on Form S-3 or any related form of Registration
Statement), the Company will:
i. promptly give written notice of the proposed
registration to all other Persons holding Registrable Securities; and
ii. as soon as practicable, use its diligent best
efforts to effect such registration (including, without limitation, the
execution of an undertaking to file post-effective amendments, appropriate
qualifications under foreign, blue sky or other state securities laws and
appropriate compliance with applicable regulations issued under the Securities
Act), as may be so requested and as would permit or facilitate the sale and
distribution of all or such portion of such Registrable Securities as are
specified in such request, together with all or such portion of the Registrable
Securities of any Person or Persons joining in such request as are specified in
a written request given within twenty (20) days after receipt of such written
notice from the Company; provided that the Company shall not be obligated to
take any action to effect any such registration, qualification or compliance
pursuant to this Section 2.a:
A. In any particular jurisdiction in which the
Company would be required to execute a general consent to service of process in
effecting such registration, qualification or compliance unless the Company is
already subject to service in such jurisdiction and except as may be required by
the Securities Act;
B. Prior to the earlier of (i) an initial public
offering ("IPO") by the Company or (ii) the fifth anniversary after the date
hereof;
C. If the Initiating Holders propose to sell a
number of shares of Registrable Securities at an aggregate offering price (after
deduction for underwriter commissions and expenses) to the public of less than
Four Million Dollars ($4,000,000); or
2
D. After the Company has effected four (4) such
registrations pursuant to this Section 2.a, and such registration has been
declared or ordered effective.
Subject to the foregoing clauses (A) through (C) and to
Section 2.a.v (below), the Company shall file a registration statement covering
the Registrable Securities so requested to be registered as soon as practicable
after receipt of the request from the Requesting Initiating Holders.
iii. Underwriting. If the Requesting Initiating
------------
Holders intend to distribute the Registrable Securities covered by
their request by means of an underwriting, they shall so advise the Company as
part of their request made pursuant to Section 2.a and the Company shall include
such information in the written notice referred to in Section 2.a.i. The right
of any Person to registration pursuant to Section 2.a shall be conditioned upon
such Person's participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such
Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent requested (unless
otherwise mutually agreed by a majority in interest of the Requesting Initiating
Holders and such Person to the extent provided herein).
iv. Cutbacks/Withdrawals. The Company shall (together
--------------------
with all Persons proposing to distribute their securities through such
underwriting) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the
underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting by a majority in
interest of the Registrable Securities held by those Persons participating in
such registration ("Participating Persons") and approved by the Company (such
approval not to be unreasonably withheld). Notwithstanding any other provision
of this Section 2.a, if the underwriter(s) determine that marketing factors
require a limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten and so advises
the Requesting Initiating Holders in writing, then the Requesting Initiating
Holders shall so advise all Persons holding Registrable Securities (except those
Persons who have indicated to the Company their decision not to distribute any
of their Registrable Securities through such underwriting) and the number of
shares of Registrable Securities that may be included in the registration and
underwriting shall be allocated among all such Participating Persons in
proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective amounts of Registrable
Securities held by such
3
Participating Persons at the time of filing the registration statement. No
Registrable Securities excluded from the underwriting by reason of the
underwriter's marketing limitation shall be included in such registration.
If any Person owning Registrable Securities disapproves of
the terms of the underwriting, such Person may elect to withdraw therefrom by
written notice to the Company, the underwriter and the Requesting Initiating
Holders. The Registrable Securities and/or other securities so withdrawn from
such underwriting shall also be withdrawn from such registration; provided,
however, that, if by the withdrawal of such Registrable Securities a greater
number of Registrable Securities held by other Persons may be included in such
registration (up to the maximum of any limitation imposed by the underwriters),
then the Company shall offer to all Participating Persons the right to include
additional Registrable Securities in the same proportion used in determining the
underwriter limitation in this Section.
v. Right to Delay a Demand Registration. If at the
------------------------------------
time of any request to register Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section,
the Company is preparing a registration statement for a public offering (other
than a registration effected solely to implement an employee benefit plan or
a transaction to which Rule 145 of the Commission is applicable) which in fact
is filed and becomes effective within ninety (90) days after the request, then
the Company may at its option direct that such request be delayed for a period
not in excess of one hundred and twenty (120) days from the effective date of
such registration, such right to delay a request to be exercised by the Company
not more than once in any twelve (12) month period. Nothing in this Section
shall preclude a holder of Registrable Securities from enjoying registration
rights which it might otherwise possess under this Agreement.
b. Piggyback Registration.
----------------------
i. The Company's Obligation to Register. If the
------------------------------------
Company at any time proposes to initiate a registration of its securities under
the Securities Act on its own or upon request of Persons other than Initiating
Holders and thereafter registers any of its securities under the Securities Act
(other than a registration effected solely to implement an employee benefit
plan, a transaction to which Rule 145 of the Commission is applicable or any
4
other form or type of registration in which Registrable Securities cannot be
included pursuant to Commission rule or practice), it will give written notice
to all holders of the outstanding Registrable Securities of its intention to do
so (stating the intended method and terms of disposition of such securities,
including a list of the jurisdictions in which the Company intends to qualify
such securities). If such registration is proposed to be on a form which permits
inclusion of the Registrable Securities, upon the written request from any
Initiating Holder within twenty (20) days after transmittal by the Company to
the holders of such notice, the Company will, subject to the limits contained in
this Section, use its best efforts to cause all such Registrable Securities of
said Initiating Holders to be registered under the Securities Act and qualified
for sale under any state blue sky law, all to the extent requisite to permit
such sale or other disposition by such holders of the Registrable Securities so
registered.
ii. Cutbacks. Notwithstanding any other provision
--------
of this Section, if the underwriter managing such registration notifies the
Initiating Holders in writing that market or economic conditions limit the
amount of securities which may reasonably be expected to be sold, the holders of
such Registrable Securities will be allowed to register their Registrable
Securities pro rata based on the number of shares of Registrable Securities held
by such holders, respectively. On the initial public offering of its securities
initiated by the Company, said underwriter may exclude all Registrable
Securities from the Company's registration statement, but on all subsequent
registrations initiated by the Company, such underwriter may limit the amount of
the Registrable Securities to be registered to not less than twenty-five percent
(25%) of the aggregate number of Registrable Securities to be registered so long
as any other shares of the Company are to be registered as well. Likewise, the
Company shall to the extent possible require that the executive officers of the
Company limit their registration of the Company's securities in substantially
similar proportions in any registered public offering to which this Section
applies upon the recommendation of the managing underwriter involved in such
registration.
c. Form S-3.
--------
i. Obligation to Register. In the event of an IPO
----------------------
under the Securities Act, the Company shall use its best efforts to qualify for
registration on Form S-3 (or
5
comparable form for a foreign issuer). After the Company has qualified for the
use of Form S-3, the holders of Registrable Securities shall have the right to
request registrations on Form S-3 thereafter, as the case may be (but the
Holders, as a group, may not make more than two (2) such requests in any twelve
(12) month period and no more than four (4) in the aggregate) under this Section
(such requests shall be in writing and shall state the number of shares of
Registrable Securities to be disposed of and the intended method of disposition
of such shares by such Person or Persons), provided that the Company shall not
be required to effect a registration pursuant to this Section unless (A) the
Person or Persons requesting registration propose to dispose of shares of
Registrable Securities which they reasonably anticipate will have an aggregate
offering price (before deduction of underwriting discounts and expenses of sale)
of at least Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000), or (B) the Company has
initiated a proposed registration as described in Section 2.a.
ii. Notice. The Company shall give written notice
------
to all holders of Registrable Securities of the receipt of a request for
registration pursuant to this Section 2.c and shall permit such other holders to
participate in the registration upon their request thereto given within fifteen
(15) days after receipt of such notice. Subject to the foregoing, the Company
will use its best efforts to effect promptly the registration of all shares of
Registrable Securities on Form S-3, to the extent requested by the holders
thereof for purposes of disposition. The Company need not register shares on
Form S-3 (or comparable form) in any jurisdiction in which the Company does not
qualify to do business. The Company need not register shares on Form S-3 (or
comparable form) if the Company is preparing a registration statement for a
public offering (other than a registration effected solely to implement an
employee benefit plan or a transaction to which Rule 145 of the Commission is
applicable) which, in fact, is filed and becomes effective within ninety (90)
days after the request, then the Company may, at its option, direct that such
request be delayed for a period not in excess of one hundred twenty (120) days
from the effective date of such registration.
d. Registration Procedures. If and whenever the Company
-----------------------
is required by the provisions of this Article to use its best efforts to effect
the registration of any of its
6
securities under the Securities Act, the Company will, as expeditiously as
possible:
i. prepare and file with the Commission a
registration statement with respect to such securities and use its best efforts
to cause such registration statement to become and remain effective for the
period provided in this Section;
ii. prepare and file with the Commission such
amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus
used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such registration
statement effective and to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act
with respect to the sale or other disposition of all securities covered by such
registration statement whenever the seller or sellers of such securities shall
desire to sell or otherwise dispose of the same, but only to the extent provided
in this Section;
iii. furnish to each seller such number of copies of
a prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, in conformity with the
requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents, as such seller may
reasonably request in order to facilitate the public sale or other disposition
of the securities owned by such seller;
iv. use every reasonable effort to register or
qualify the securities covered by such registration statement under such other
United States, foreign or state blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as each
seller shall reasonably request, and do any and all other acts and things which
may be necessary under such securities or blue sky laws to enable such seller to
consummate the public sale or other disposition in such jurisdictions of the
securities owned by such seller, except that the Company shall not for any such
purpose be required to qualify to do business as a foreign company in any
jurisdiction wherein it is not so qualified or intends to be so qualified prior
to the effective date of the applicable registration statement;
v. before filing the registration statement or
prospectus or amendments or supplements thereto, furnish to one counsel selected
by a majority of the voting interests of the participating holders of
Registrable Securities copies of such documents proposed to be filed which shall
be subject to the reasonable approval of such counsel; and
7
vi. furnish to each prospective seller a signed
counterpart, addressed to the prospective seller, of (A) an opinion of counsel
for the Company, dated the effective date of the registration statement, and (B)
a "comfort" letter signed by the independent public accountants who have
certified the Company's financial statements included in the registration
statement, covering substantially the same matters with respect to the
registration statement (and the prospectus included therein) and (in the case of
the accountants' letter) with respect to events subsequent to the date of the
financial statements, as are customarily covered (at the time of such
registration) in opinions of the Company's counsel and in accountants, letters
delivered to the underwriters in underwritten public offerings of securities;
provided, however, that notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, the
Company shall not in any event be required to use its best efforts to maintain
the effectiveness of any such registration statement for a period in excess of
one hundred eighty (180) days.
e. Registration Expenses. As used herein, "Registration
---------------------
Expenses" shall mean all expenses incurred by the Company in complying with
Sections 2.a, 2.b, 2.c and 2.d hereof, including, without limitation, all
registration and filing fees; printing expenses; fees and disbursements of
counsel for the Company; fees and disbursements of one counsel for all the
selling shareholders of the Registrable Securities; blue sky fees and expenses;
foreign securities laws fees and expenses; and the expense of any special audits
incident to or required by any such registration (but excluding the compensation
of regular employees of the Company which shall be paid in any event by the
Company); and "Selling Expenses" shall mean all underwriting discounts and
selling commissions applicable to the sales thereunder. The Company will pay all
Registration Expenses in connection with the registrations pursuant to Sections
2.a, 2.b and 2.c, regardless of which Initiating Holders have requested
registration pursuant to Sections 2.a or 2.b. All Selling Expenses in connection
with each registration pursuant to Sections 2.a, 2.b and 2.c shall be borne by
the Company and the selling holders pro rata in proportion to the securities
covered thereby being sold by them.
f. Indemnification.
---------------
1. Indemnification by the Company. In the event
------------------------------
of any registration of any of its securities under the
8
Securities Act pursuant to this Section, the Company shall indemnify and hold
harmless each of the following parties: (A) the seller of such securities; (B)
each underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act); (C) each other Person who
is an officer, director or partner of such seller or who participates in the
offering of such securities; and (D) each other Person, if any, who controls
(within the meaning of the Securities Act) such seller, underwriter or
participating Person against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as
incurred (collectively the "liability"), joint or several, to which such
seller, underwriter, participating Person or controlling Person may become
subject under the Securities Act or any other statute or at common law, insofar
as such liability (or action in respect thereof) arises out of or is based upon
(A) any statement of any material fact contained in any registration statement
under which such securities were registered under the Securities Act, any
preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein, or any amendment
or supplement thereto; (B) any alleged omission to state therein a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading, or (C) any violation by the Company of the Securities Act or any
rule or regulation promulgated thereunder or any foreign securities rules or
regulations applicable to the Company in connection with any such registration,
qualification or compliance, except as otherwise provided in subparagraph 2.f.ii
(below). Except as otherwise provided in subparagraph 2.f.iv (below), the
Company shall reimburse each such seller, underwriter, participating Person or
such controlling Person in connection with investigating or defending any such
liability, as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the Company
shall not be liable to any seller, underwriters, participating Persons, or
controlling Persons in any such case to the extent that any such liability
arises out of or is based upon any statement or alleged omission made in such
registration statement, preliminary or final prospectus, or amendment or
supplement thereto in reliance upon and in conformity with written information
furnished to the Company by such Person to be specifically stated for use
therein; the Company shall not be required to indemnify any Person against any
liability arising from any untrue or misleading statement or omission contained
in any preliminary prospectus if such deficiency is corrected in the final
prospectus or for any liability which arises out of the failure of any Person to
deliver a prospectus as required by the Securities Act. The indemnity provided
for in this Section shall remain in full force and
9
effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such seller,
underwriter, participating Person or controlling Person and shall survive
transfer of such securities by such seller.
ii. Indemnification by Holders of Registrable
-----------------------------------------
Securities. Each holder of any Registrable Securities shall, by
----------
acceptance thereof, indemnify and hold harmless each other holder of any
Registrable Securities, its officers, directors or partners, the Company, its
directors and officers, each underwriter and each other Person, if any, who
controls the Company or such underwriter, against any liability, joint or
several, as incurred, to which any such other holder, the Company, underwriter
or any such director or officer of any such Person may become subject under the
Securities Act or any other statute or at common law, in so far as such
liability (or actions in respect thereof) arises out of or is based upon (A) the
disposition by such holder of such Registrable Securities in violation of the
provisions of this Section 2, (B) any statement of any material fact contained
in any registration statement under which securities were registered under the
Securities Act at the request of such holder, any preliminary prospectus or
final prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or
(C) any alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading.
Notwithstanding the above in this Section 2.f.ii, the indemnification set forth
in this Section 2.f.ii shall be given in the case of clauses (B) and (C) to the
extent, but only to the extent, that such statement or alleged omission was made
in such registration statement, preliminary or final prospectus, amendment or
supplement thereto in reliance upon and in conformity with written information
furnished to the Company by such holder and expressly stated for use therein.
Such holder shall reimburse the Company, such underwriter or such director,
officer, other Person or other holder for any legal fees incurred in
investigating or defending any such liability, as incurred; provided, however,
--------
that no holder of Registrable Securities shall be required to indemnify any
Person against any liability arising from any untrue or misleading statement or
omission contained in any preliminary prospectus if such deficiency is corrected
in the final prospectus or for any liability which arises out of the failure of
any Person to deliver a prospectus as required by the Securities Act; and
provided further, that the obligations of such holder of Registrable Securities
----------------
for the
10
indemnity hereunder shall be limited to an amount equal to the net proceeds
received by such holder of Registrable Securities upon disposition thereof, and
shall not extend to any settlement of claims related thereto without the express
written consent of such holder of Registrable Securities.
iii. Further Indemnity. Indemnification
-----------------
similar to that specified in Sections 2.f.i and 2.f.ii shall be given by the
Company and each holder of any Registrable Securities (with such modifications
as may be appropriate) with respect to any required registration or other
qualification of the Common Stock under any federal, foreign or state law or
regulation of governmental authority other than the Securities Act.
iv. Procedures; Rights to Separate Counsel.
--------------------------------------
Each party entitled to indemnification under this Section 2.f (the "Indemnified
Party") shall give notice to the party required to provide indemnification (the
"Indemnifying Party") promptly after such Indemnified Party has received written
notice of any claim as to which indemnity may be sought, and shall permit the
Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of any such claim or any litigation
resulting therefrom, unless there shall be a conflict of interest, provided that
--------
counsel for the Indemnifying Party, who shall conduct the defense of such claim
or litigation, shall be approved by the Indemnified Party (whose approval shall
not unreasonably be withheld), and the Indemnified Party may participate in such
defense at such Indemnified Party's expense, and provided further that the
----------------
failure of any Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein shall not
relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Section 2.f unless
such failure to give notice shall materially adversely affect the Indemnifying
Party in the defense of any such claim or any such litigation. The Indemnified
Party shall also have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action
and to participate in the defense thereof but the fees and expenses of such
counsel shall not be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party unless either (i)
in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Indemnified Party, there are
defenses available to the Indemnified Party that are not available to the
Indemnifying Party or representation of the Indemnified Party by counsel for the
Indemnifying Party would present a conflict of interest for such counsel, or
(ii) the Indemnifying Party fails to promptly defend, in which case the fees and
expenses of such counsel for the Indemnified Party shall be borne by the
Indemnifying Party. No
11
Indemnifying Party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation, shall,
except with the consent of each Indemnified Party, consent to entry of any
judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional
term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party a
release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.
g. Termination of Registration Rights. Notwithstanding the
----------------------------------
foregoing provisions of this Section, the rights to registration and the
designation of Common Stock as Registrable Securities shall terminate as to any
particular securities when such securities shall have been lawfully sold by the
holder thereof to the public pursuant to a registration statement or after a
sale thereof pursuant to Rule 144.
h. Compliance with Rule 144. If the Company: (i) registers a
------------------------
class of securities under Section 12 of the Exchange Act, or (ii) shall commence
to file reports under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, thereafter, at
the request of any holder of the Registrable Securities who proposes to sell the
Registrable Securities in compliance with Rule 144 of the Commission, the
Company shall forthwith furnish to such holder or holders a written statement of
compliance with the filing requirements of the Commission as set forth in such
Rule (at any time from and after 90 days following the effective date of the
first registration of the Company for an offering of its securities to the
general public), as such Rule may be amended from time to time, and make
available to the public and such holders such information as will enable the
holders to make sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 144.
i. Consent to be Bound. Each subsequent holder of Registrable
-------------------
Securities must consent in writing to be bound by the terms and conditions of
this Section 2 in order to acquire the rights granted pursuant to Section 2.
j. Assignability of Registration Rights. Subject to Section
------------------------------------
2.i hereof, the registration rights set forth in this Section 2 are assignable
to each assignee of at least fifty percent (50%) of the Registrable Securities
conveyed in accordance herewith (appropriately adjusted for recapitalizations)
who agrees in writing to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement
within ten (10) days of such assignment. The term "seller" as used herein refers
12
to a holder of the Registrable Securities selling such shares.
k. Rights Which May Not Be Granted to Subsequent Investors.
-------------------------------------------------------
The Company shall not grant registration rights or enter into any registration
rights agreement or similar agreement with any Person after the date hereof
which are superior to the rights granted hereunder.
l. Information by Holder. The holder or holders of Registrable
---------------------
Securities included in any registration shall furnish to the Company such
information regarding such holder or holders, the Registrable Securities held by
them, and the distribution proposed by such holder or holders, as the Company
may reasonably request in writing and as shall be required in connection with
any registration, qualification or compliance referred to in this Section.
m. Standoff Agreement. In connection with the first
------------------
registration of the Company's securities, each Holder (a "Standoff Holder"")
agrees, upon the request of the Company and the underwriters managing such
underwritten offering of the Company's securities, not to sell, make any short
sale of, loan, grant any option for the purchase of, or otherwise dispose of
any Registrable Securities (other than those included in the registration)
without the prior written consent of the Company and such underwriters, as the
case may be, for such period of time, not to exceed one hundred eighty (180)
days, from the effective date of such registration as the underwriters may
specify, provided that all officers and directors of the Company and each
Standoff Holder enter into similar agreements. Such agreement shall be in
writing in the form reasonably satisfactory to the Company and such underwriter.
The Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the shares
subject to the foregoing restrictions until the end of said one hundred eighty
(180) day period.
3. Miscellaneous.
-------------
a. Consent to Amendments. Except as otherwise expressly
---------------------
provided herein, the provisions of this Agreement may be amended and the Company
may take any action herein prohibited, or omit to perform any act herein
required to be performed by them, only if it has obtained the written consent of
each of the Holders. No course of dealing between the Company and any Holder or
any delay in exercising any rights hereunder or under the Company's
13
Articles of Incorporation will operate as a waiver of any rights of any such
Holders.
b. Successors and Assigns. Except as otherwise expressly
----------------------
provided herein, all covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement by or
on behalf of any of the parties hereto shall bind and inure to the benefit of
the respective successors and assigns of the parties hereto whether so expressed
or not.
c. Severability. Each provision of this Agreement shall be
------------
interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law,
but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be prohibited by or invalid
under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of
such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of this
Agreement.
d. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more
------------
counterparts, any one of which need not contain the signatures of more than one
party, but all such counterparts when taken together shall constitute one and
the same Agreement.
e. Descriptive Headings. The descriptive headings of this
--------------------
Agreement are inserted for convenience only and do not constitute a part of this
Agreement.
f. Notices. All notices, demands, consents or other
-------
communications required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be
deemed to have been given when personally delivered or three (3) business days
(including Saturday) if sent by first class certified mail, return receipt
requested or the next business day if sent by facsimile, Express Mail, Federal
Express or similar service, addressed as follows:

--------------------------------------------
meaning and effect of this Agreement shall be determined in accordance with the
laws of Delaware, applicable to contracts made and to be performed entirely
within the State of Delaware.
h. Schedules and Exhibits. All schedules and exhibits are an
----------------------
integral part of this Agreement.
i. Litigation Costs. Subject to Section 2.f, if any legal
----------------
action or any arbitration or other proceeding is brought for the enforcement of
this Agreement, or because of a dispute, breach, default, or misrepresentation
in connection with any of the provisions of this Agreement, the successful or
prevailing party or parties shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys'
fees and other costs incurred in that action or proceeding, in addition to any
other relief to which it or they may be entitled.
j. Specific Performance. Each party's obligation under this
--------------------
Agreement is unique. If any party should default in its obligations under this
Agreement, the parties each acknowledge that it would be extremely impracticable
to measure the resulting damages; accordingly, the non-defaulting party, in
addition to any other available rights or remedies, may xxx in equity for
specific performance and the parties each expressly waive the defense that a
remedy in damages will be adequate.
k. Final Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire
---------------
agreement between the parties pertaining to the subject matter hereof and
supersedes and terminates all prior and contemporaneous agreements,
understandings, negotiations and discussions, whether oral or written.
