SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT

THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made as of the last date indicated on the signature pages hereto between Unidym, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and the undersigned investor party hereto (“Investor”).

RECITALS

WHEREAS, the Company wishes to sell up to an aggregate of 8,333,333 shares of the Company’s Series C Preferred Stock (“Shares”) to one or more investors at a purchase price of $1.80 per Share, and the Investor wishes to purchase Shares from the Company.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants, agreements and conditions, and upon acknowledgement of each of the parties of the receipt of valuable consideration, the parties herein agree as follows:

1. Purchase and Sale of Shares.

1.1 The Initial Closing. At the Initial Closing (as defined below), the Company shall issue and sell to Investor such number of Shares as is set forth immediately below Investor’s name on the signature pages hereto. Investor shall pay an amount equal to $1.80 times the number of Shares to be purchased by the Investor (the “Purchase Price”) in cash (by check or wire transfer) or by cancellation of indebtedness in United States Dollars to the Company to be held in escrow until the Initial Closing, for release to the Company thereafter. Promptly after the Initial Closing, the Company shall deliver to Investor a duly executed certificate representing the Shares which Investor is purchasing hereunder. The purchase and sale transaction contemplated hereby will close on the first business day immediately following the satisfaction of the Initial Closing conditions set forth herein, which is targeted to be no later than 5:00 p.m., Pacific Time on October 17, 2007, as such date and time may be modified by the Company in its sole discretion (such day, the “Initial Closing”).

1.2 Additional Closing(s).

(a) Conditions of Additional Closing(s). At any time and from time to time during the 90 day period following the Initial Closing (the “Additional Closing Period”), the Company may, at one or more additional closings (each an “Additional Closing”), without obtaining the signature, consent or permission of Investor, offer and sell to other investors (the “New Investors”), at a price of $1.80 per Share, up to that number of Shares that is equal to 8,333,333 Shares less the number of Shares actually issued and sold by the Company at the Initial Closing. New Investors may include persons or entities who are already owners of shares of the Company’s Series C Preferred Stock or other capital stock. At least one New Investor must be an institutional investor that purchases a minimum of 1,111,111 Shares; provided, that this requirement may be waived by holders of a majority of the then-outstanding Series C Preferred Stock.

(b) Amendments. The Company and the New Investors purchasing Shares at each Additional Closing will execute a Subscription Agreement in substantially the same form hereof, and the New Investors will, to the extent not already a party thereto, execute counterpart signature pages to the Investors’ Rights Agreement (as defined in Section 4.6), the ROFR Agreement (as defined in Section 4.7) and the Voting Agreement (as defined in Section 4.8) (the Investors’ Rights Agreement, ROFR Agreement and Voting Agreement, collectively, the “Related Agreements”). Such New Investors will, upon delivery to the Company of such signature pages, become parties to, and bound by, the Related Agreements, each to the same extent as if they had been an Investor at the Initial Closing.

The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the Related Agreements, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby will not result in any such violation, or be in conflict with or constitute, with or without the passage of time and giving of notice, either a default under any such provision or an event that results in the creation of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any assets of the Company or the suspension, revocation, impairment, forfeiture or nonrenewal of any material permit, license, authorization or approval applicable to the Company, its business or operations or any of its assets or properties.

(a) there are no agreements, understandings, instruments, contracts, judgments, orders, writs or decrees to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound that may involve (i) obligations (contingent or otherwise) of, or payments to the Company, in excess of $10,000, other than obligations of, or payments to, the Company arising from purchase or sale agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business, or (ii) provisions materially restricting the development, manufacture or distribution of the Company’s products or services, and

2.12 Related-Party Transactions. No employee, officer or director of the Company or member of his or her immediate family is indebted to the Company, nor is the Company indebted (or committed to make loans or extend or guarantee credit) to any of them.

The Company is not a guarantor or indemnitor of any indebtedness of any other person, firm or corporation.

2.14 Permits. The Company has all franchises, permits, licenses and any similar authority necessary for the conduct of its business as now being conducted by it, except to the extent the lack of which would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adversely Effect. The Company is not in

 

5


default under any of such franchises, permits, licenses or other similar authority which would be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

2.15 Environmental and Safety Laws. To its knowledge, the Company is not in violation of any applicable statute, law or regulation relating to the environment or occupational health and safety, and, to its knowledge, no material expenditures are or will be required in order to comply with any such existing statute, law or regulation.

With respect to the property and assets it leases, the Company is in compliance with such leases and, to its knowledge, holds a valid leasehold interest free of any liens, claims or encumbrances, subject to clauses (i)-(ii) of the foregoing sentence, except to the extent the failure to be in compliance or hold a valid leasehold interest would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

2.19 Labor Agreements and Actions. The Company is not bound by or subject to any contract, commitment or arrangement with any labor union, and no labor union has requested or, to the Company’s knowledge, has sought to represent any of the employees, representatives or agents of the Company. There is no strike or other labor dispute involving the Company pending, or to the Company’s knowledge, threatened in writing, that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, nor is the Company aware of any labor organization activity involving its employees.

2. Registration Rights. The Company covenants and agrees as follows:

2.1 Request for Registration.

(a) If the Company shall receive at any time after the earlier of (i) 5 years after the date of this Agreement or (ii) 180 days after the effective date of the first registration statement for a public offering of securities of the Company (other than a registration statement relating either to the sale of securities to employees of the Company pursuant to a stock option, stock purchase or similar plan or a SEC Rule 145 transaction), a written request from the Holders who hold in excess of thirty percent (30%) of the Registrable Securities then outstanding that the Company file a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the registration of the Registrable Securities then outstanding with an anticipated aggregate offering price (net of underwriting discounts and commissions) of at least Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000), then the Company shall:

(i) within ten (10) days of the receipt thereof, give written notice of such request to all Holders;

(ii) as soon as practicable, and in any event within sixty (60) days of the receipt of such request, file a registration statement under the Securities Act covering all Registrable Securities which the Holders request to be registered, subject to the limitations of subsection 2.1(b), within twenty (20) days of the mailing of such notice by the Company in accordance with Section 6.5; and

(iii) use its best efforts to cause such registration statement to be declared effective by the SEC as soon as practicable.

(b) If the Initiating Holders intend to distribute the Registrable Securities covered by their request by means of an underwriting, they shall so advise the Company as a part of their request made pursuant to subsection 2.1 (a) and the Company shall include such information in the written notice referred to in subsection 2.1(a). The underwriter will be selected by the Company and shall be reasonably acceptable to a majority in interest of the Initiating Holders. In such event, the right of any Holder to include such Holder’s Registrable Securities in such registration shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s

 

4


participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided herein. All Holders proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting shall (together with the Company as provided in subsection 2.3(e)) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.1, if the underwriter advises the Initiating Holders in writing that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten, then the Initiating Holders shall so advise all Holders of Registrable Securities which would otherwise be underwritten pursuant hereto, and the number of shares of Registrable Securities that may be included in the underwriting shall be allocated among all Holders of Registrable Securities, including the Initiating Holders, in proportion (as nearly as practicable) to the number of Registrable Securities of the Company owned by each Holder; provided, however, that the number of shares of Registrable Securities held by the Holders to be included in such underwriting shall not be reduced unless all other securities are first entirely excluded from the underwriting. To facilitate the allocation of shares in accordance with the above provisions, the Company or the underwriters may round the number of shares allocated to any Holder to the nearest 100 shares.

(c) The Company shall not be obligated to effect, or to take any action to effect, any registration

 

  (i) pursuant to this Section 2.1:

(i) In any particular jurisdiction in which the Company would be required to execute a general consent to service of process in effecting such registration, unless the Company is already subject to service in such jurisdiction and except as may be required under the Securities Act;

(ii) After the Company has effected two (2) registrations pursuant to this Section 2.1 and such registrations have been declared or ordered effective;

(iii) If the Initiating Holders propose to dispose of shares of Registrable Securities that may be immediately registered on Form S-3 pursuant to a request made pursuant to Section 2.11, below; or

(iv) If the Registrable Securities to be included in the registration statement could be sold without restriction under SEC Rule 144(k) within a ninety (90) day period and the Company is currently subject to the periodic reporting requirements of Sections 12(g) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, or

 

  (ii) pursuant to any other provision of this Agreement:

(i) In any particular jurisdiction in which the Company would be required to execute a general consent to service of process in effecting such registration, unless the Company is already subject to service in such jurisdiction and except as may be required under the Securities Act; or

(ii) If the Registrable Securities to be included in the registration statement could be sold without restriction under SEC Rule 144(k) within a ninety (90) day period and the Company is currently subject to the periodic reporting requirements of Sections 12(g) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act.

 

5


(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company shall furnish to Holders requesting a registration statement pursuant to this Section 2.1 a certificate signed by the Chief Executive Officer of the Company stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board it would be materially detrimental to the Company and its stockholders for such registration statement to be filed and it is therefore necessary to defer the filing of such registration statement, the Company shall have the right to defer taking action with respect to such filing for a period of not more than ninety (90) days after receipt of the request of the Initiating Holders; provided, however, that the Company may not utilize this right more than once in any twelve-month period.

A registration statement shall not be counted until such time as such registration statement has been declared effective by the SEC (unless the Initiating Holders withdraw their request for such registration (other than as a result of information concerning the business or financial condition of the Company which is made known to the Investors after the date on which such registration was requested) and elect not to pay the registration expenses therefor pursuant to Section 2.5). A registration statement shall not be counted if, as a result of an exercise of the underwriter’s cut-back provisions, fewer than seventy-five percent (75%) of the total number of Registrable Securities that Holders have requested to be included in such registration statement are actually included.

2.2. Company Registration. If the Company proposes to register (including for this purpose a registration effected by the Company for stockholders other than the Holders) any of its stock or other securities under the Securities Act in connection with the public offering of such securities solely for cash (other than a registration statement relating either to the sale of securities to employees of the Company pursuant to a stock option, stock purchase or similar plan or an SEC Rule 145 transaction, a registration on any form which does not include substantially the same information as would be required to be included in a registration statement covering the sale of the Registrable Securities or a registration in which the only Common Stock being registered is Common Stock issuable upon conversion of debt securities which are also being registered), the Company shall, at such time, promptly give each Holder written notice of such registration. Upon the written request of each Holder given within twenty (20) days after mailing of such notice by the Company in accordance with Section 6.6, the Company shall, subject to the provisions of Section 2.7, cause to be registered under the Securities Act all of the Registrable Securities that each such Holder has requested to be registered. The Company shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under this Section 2.2 prior to the effectiveness of such registration whether or not any Holder has elected to include securities in such registration. The expenses of such withdrawn registration shall be borne by the Company in accordance with Section 2.6, hereof.

2.3. Obligations of the Company. Whenever required under this Section 2 to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities, the Company shall, as expeditiously as reasonably possible,

(a) prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement with respect to such Registrable Securities and use its reasonable best efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective, and, upon the request of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities registered thereunder, keep such registration statement effective for a period of up to one hundred twenty (120) days or, if earlier, until the distribution contemplated in the Registration Statement has been completed; provided, however, that (i) such 120-day period shall be extended for a period of time equal to the period the Holder refrains from selling any securities included in such registration at the request of an underwriter of Common Stock (or other securities) of the Company; and (ii) in the case of any registration of Registrable Securities on Form S-3 which are intended to be offered on a continuous or delayed basis, subject to compliance with applicable SEC rules, such 120-day period shall be extended, if necessary, to keep the registration statement effective until all such Registrable Securities are sold;

 

6


(b) prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection with such registration statement as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement;

(c) furnish to the Holders such numbers of copies of a prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents as they may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of Registrable Securities owned by them;

(d) use its reasonable best efforts to register and qualify the securities covered by such registration statement under such other securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as shall be reasonably requested by the Holders; provided that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to qualify to do business or to file a general consent to service of process in any such states or jurisdictions, unless the Company is already subject to service in such jurisdiction and except as may be required by the Securities Act;

(e) in the event of any underwritten public offering, enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary form, with the managing underwriter of such offering. Each Holder participating in such underwriting shall also enter into and perform its obligations under such an agreement;

(f) cause all such Registrable Securities registered pursuant to this Agreement hereunder to be listed on a national securities exchange or trading system and each securities exchange and trading system on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed;

(g) provide a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable Securities registered pursuant hereunder and a CUSIP number for all such Registrable Securities, in each case not later than the effective date of such registration;

(h) use its reasonable best efforts to furnish, at the request of any Holder requesting registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 2, on the date on which such Registrable Securities are sold to the underwriter, (i) an opinion, dated such date, of the counsel representing the Company for the purposes of such registration, in form and substance as is customarily given to underwriters in an underwritten public offering, addressed to the underwriters, if any, and (ii) a “comfort” letter dated such date, from the independent certified public accountants of the Company, in form and substance as is customarily given by independent certified public accountants to underwriters in an underwritten public offering, addressed to the underwriters, if any.

2.4. Furnish Information. It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to take any action pursuant to this Section 2 with respect to the Registrable Securities of any selling Holder that such Holder shall furnish to the Company such information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it, and the intended method of disposition of such securities as shall be reasonably required to effect the registration of such Holder’s Registrable Securities.

2.5. Expenses of Demand Registration. All expenses, other than underwriting discounts and commissions, incurred in connection with registrations, filings or qualifications pursuant to Section 2.1, including (without limitation) all registration, filing and qualification fees, printers’ and accounting fees, fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company and the reasonable fees and disbursements of one counsel for the selling Holders, shall be borne by the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay for any expenses of any registration proceeding begun pursuant to Section 2.1

 

7


if the registration request is subsequently withdrawn at the request of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities to be registered (in which case all participating Holders shall bear such expenses pro rata based upon the number of Registrable Securities that were to be included in the withdrawn registration), unless the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities agree to forfeit their right to one demand registration pursuant to Section 2.

2.6. Expenses of Company Registration. The Company shall bear and pay all expenses incurred in connection with any registration, filing or qualification of Registrable Securities with respect to the registrations pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof for each Holder (which right may be assigned as provided in Section 6.2 hereof), including (without limitation) all registration, filing, and qualification fees, printers and accounting fees relating or apportionable thereto and the fees and disbursements of one counsel for the selling Holders selected by them, but excluding underwriting discounts and commissions relating to Registrable Securities.

2.7. Underwriting Requirements. In connection with any offering involving an underwriting of shares of the Company’s capital stock pursuant to Section 2.2, the Company shall not be required to include any of the Holders’ securities in such underwriting unless they accept the terms of the underwriting as agreed upon between the Company and its underwriters, and then only in such quantity as the underwriters determine in their sole discretion will not jeopardize the success of the offering by the Company subject to the limitations set forth below. If the total number of securities, including Registrable Securities, requested by stockholders to be included in such offering exceeds the amount of securities to be sold other than by the Company that the underwriters determine in their reasonable discretion is compatible with the success of the offering, then the Company shall be required to include in the offering only that number of such securities, including Registrable Securities, which the underwriters and the Company determine in their sole discretion will not jeopardize the success of the offering. In no event shall any Registrable Securities be excluded from such offering unless all other stockholders’ securities have been first excluded. In the event that the underwriters determine that less than all of the Registrable Securities requested to be registered can be included in such offering, then the Registrable Securities that are included in such offering shall be apportioned pro rata among the selling Holders based on the number of Registrable Securities held by all selling Holders or in such other proportions as shall mutually be agreed to by all such selling Holders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the amount of securities of the selling Holders included in the offering be reduced below thirty percent (30%) of the total amount of securities included in such offering, unless such offering is the Company’s IPO in which case the selling Holders may be excluded beyond this amount if the underwriters make the determination described above and no other stockholder’s securities are included in such offering. For purposes of the preceding parenthetical concerning apportionment, for any selling stockholder which is a Holder of Registrable Securities and which is an investment fund, partnership, limited liability company or corporation, the partners, members, retired partners, retired members, stockholders and Affiliates of such Holder, or the estates and family members of any such partners, retired partners, members and retired members and any trusts for the benefit of any of the foregoing persons shall be deemed to be a single “selling Holder”, and any pro-rata reduction with respect to such “selling Holder” shall be based upon the aggregate amount of shares carrying registration rights owned by all entities and individuals included in such “selling Holder,” as defined in this sentence.

2.8. Delay of Registration. No Holder shall have any right to obtain or seek an injunction or restraining order or otherwise delay any registration pursuant to this Agreement as the result of any controversy that might arise with respect to the interpretation or implementation of this Section 2.

2.9. Indemnification. In the event any Registrable Securities are included in a registration statement under this Section 2:

 

8


(a) To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, the partners, members, officers, directors and stockholders of each Holder, legal counsel and accountants for each Holder, any underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act) for such Holder and each person, if any, who controls such Holder or underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, against any Violation and the Company will pay to each such Holder, underwriter, controlling person or other aforementioned person, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this subsection 2.9(a) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), nor shall the Company be liable in any such case for any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action to the extent that it arises out of or is based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished expressly for use in connection with such registration by any such Holder, underwriter, controlling person or other aforementioned person.

(b) To the extent, permitted by law, each selling Holder will severally and not jointly indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who has signed the registration statement, each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, legal counsel and accountants for the Company, any underwriter, any other Holder selling securities in such registration statement and any controlling person of any such underwriter or other Holder, against any losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (joint or several) to which any of the foregoing persons may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (or actions in respect thereto) arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in each case to the extent (and only to the extent) that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by such Holder expressly for use in connection with such registration; and each such Holder will pay any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by any person intended to be indemnified pursuant to this subsection 2.9(b), in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this subsection 2.9(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Holder, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, further, that, in no event shall any indemnity under this subsection 2.9(b) exceed the net proceeds from the offering received by such Holder, except in the case of fraud or willful misconduct by such Holder.

(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 2.9 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action), such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 2.9, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the parties; provided, however, that an indemnified party (together with all other indemnified parties which may be represented without conflict by one counsel) shall have the right to retain one separate counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if representation of such indemnified party by the counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such indemnified party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action, if prejudicial to its ability to defend such action, shall relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the indemnified party under this Section 2.9, but the omission so to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 2.9.

(d) In order to provide for just and equitable contribution to joint liability under the Securities Act in any case in which either (i) any Holder exercising rights under this Agreement, or any controlling person of any such Holder, makes a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Section 2.9 but it is judicially determined (by the entry of a final judgment or decree by a court of competent jurisdiction and the expiration of time to appeal or the denial of the last right of appeal) that such indemnification may not be enforced in such case notwithstanding the fact that this Section 2.9 provides for indemnification in such case, or (ii) contribution under the Securities Act may be required on the part of any such selling Holder or any such controlling person in circumstances for which indemnification is provided under this Section 2.9, then, and in each such case, the Company and such Holder will contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which they may be subject (after contribution from others) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and of the indemnified party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information, and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission; provided however, that, in any such case, (I) no such Holder will be required to contribute any amount in excess of the public offering price of all such Registrable Securities offered and sold by such Holder pursuant to such registration statement, and (II) no person or entity guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) will be entitled to contribution from any person or entity who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation; provided further, that in no event shall a Holder’s liability pursuant to this Section 2.9(d), when combined with the amounts paid or payable by such holder pursuant to Section 2.9(b), exceed the proceeds from the offering (net of any underwriting discounts or commissions) received by such Holder, except in the case of willful fraud by such Holder.

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the provisions on indemnification and contribution contained in the underwriting agreement entered into in connection with the underwritten public offering are in conflict with the foregoing provisions, the provisions in the underwriting agreement shall control.

(f) Unless otherwise superseded by an underwriting agreement entered into in connection with the underwritten public offering, the obligations of the Company and Holders under this Section 2.9 shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in a registration statement under this Section 2, and otherwise and shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

2.10. Reports Under Exchange Act. With a view to making available to the Holders the benefits of Sec Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act and any other rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permits a Holder to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration or pursuant to a registration on Form S-3, the Company agrees to:

(a) make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in SEC Rule 144, at all times after the effective date of the first registration statement filed by the Company for the offering of its securities to the general public so long as the Company is subject to the periodic reporting requirements under Sections 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act;

(b) file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act; and

 

10


(c) furnish to any Holder, so long as the Holder owns any Registrable Securities, forthwith upon request (i) a written statement by the Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements of SEC Rule 144, the Securities Act and the Exchange Act (at any time after it has become subject to such reporting requirements), or that it qualifies as a registrant whose securities may be resold pursuant to Form S-3 (at any time after it so qualifies), (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company, and (iii) such other information as may be reasonably requested in availing any Holder of any rule or regulation of the SEC which permits the selling of any such securities without registration or pursuant to such form.

2.11. Form S-3 Registration. In case the Company shall receive from Holders of Registrable Securities then outstanding a written request or requests that the Company effect a registration on Form S-3 and any related qualification or compliance with respect to all or a part of the Registrable Securities owned by such Holder or Holders, the Company will:

(a) promptly give written notice of the proposed registration, and any related qualification or compliance, to all other Holders; and

(b) as soon as practicable, effect such registration and all such qualifications and compliances as may be so requested and as would permit or facilitate the sale and distribution of all or such portion of such Holder’s or Holders’ Registrable Securities as are specified in such request, together with all or such portion of the Registrable Securities of any other Holder or Holders joining in such request as are specified in a written request given within 15 days after receipt of such written notice from the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to effect any such registration, qualification or compliance, pursuant to this Section 2.11: (1) if Form S-3 is not then available for such offering by the Holders; (2) if the Holders, together with the holders of any other securities of the Company entitled to inclusion in such registration, propose to sell Registrable Securities and such other securities (if any) at an aggregate price to the public (net of any underwriters’ discounts or commissions) of less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000); (3) if the Company shall furnish to the Holders a certificate signed by the President of the Company stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board, it would be materially detrimental to the Company and its stockholders for such Form S-3 Registration to be effected at such time, in which event the Company shall have the right to defer the filing of the Form S-3 registration statement for a period of not more than ninety (90) days after receipt of the request of the Holder or Holders under this Section 2.11; provided, however, that the Company shall not utilize this right more than once in any twelve month period, and, provided further that the Company shall not register any securities for the account of itself or any other stockholder during such ninety day period (other than a registration relating solely to the sale of securities of participants in a Company stock plan, a registration relating to a corporate reorganization or transaction under SEC Rule 145, a registration on any form that does not include substantially the same information as would be required to be included in a registration statement covering the sale of the Registrable Securities, or a registration in which the only Common Stock being registered is Common Stock issuable upon conversion of debt securities that are also being registered); (4) if the Company has, within the twelve (12) month period preceding the date of such request, already effected two (2) registrations on Form S-3 for the Holders pursuant to this Section 2.11; or (5) in any particular jurisdiction in which the Company would be required to qualify to do business or to execute a general consent to service of process in effecting such registration, qualification or compliance; or (6) during the period ending one hundred eighty (180) days after the effective date of a registration statement subject to Section 2.2 hereof.

(c) Subject to the foregoing, the Company shall file a registration statement covering the Registrable Securities and other securities so requested to be registered as soon as practicable after receipt of the request or requests of the Holders. All expenses incurred in connection with a registration requested pursuant to Section 2.11, including (without limitation) all registration, filing, qualification,

 

11


printer’s and accounting fees and the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the selling Holder or Holders and counsel for the Company, but excluding any underwriters’ discounts or commissions associated with Registrable Securities, shall be borne by the Company. Registrations effected pursuant to this Section 2.11 shall not be counted as demands for registration or registrations effected pursuant to Sections 2.1.

(d) If the 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 this Section 2.11 and the Company shall include such information in the written notice referred to in Section 2.11(a). The provisions of Section 2.1(b) shall be applicable to such request (with the substitution of Section 2.11, for references to Section 2.1).

2.12. Limitations on Subsequent Registration Rights. From and after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities then outstanding, enter into any agreement with any holder or prospective holder of any securities of the Company which would allow such holder or prospective holder (a) to include such securities in any registration unless under the terms of such agreement, such holder or prospective holder may include such securities in any such registration only to the extent that the inclusion of such securities will not reduce the amount of the Registrable Securities of the Holders that are included or (b) to demand registration of any securities held by such holder or prospective holder.

2.13. “Market Stand-Off” Agreement. Each Holder hereby agrees that it will not, without the prior written consent of the managing underwriter, during the period commencing on the date of the final prospectus relating to the Company’s IPO and ending on the date specified by the Company and the managing underwriter (such period not to exceed one hundred eighty (180) days which period may be extended upon the request of the managing underwriter for an additional period of up to fifteen (15) days if the Company issues or proposes to issue an earnings or other public release within fifteen (15) days of the expiration of the 180-day lockup period) (i) lend, offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock held immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement for such offering, or (ii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Common Stock, whether any such transaction described in clause (i) or (ii) above is to be settled by delivery of Common Stock or other securities, in cash or otherwise. The foregoing provisions of this Section 2.13 shall apply only to the Company’s IPO, shall not apply to the sale of any shares to an underwriter pursuant to an underwriting agreement, and shall only be applicable to the Holders if all officers, directors and greater than one percent (1%) stockholders of the Company enter into similar agreements. The underwriters in connection with the Company’s IPO are intended third-party beneficiaries of this Section 2.13 and shall have the right, power and authority to enforce the provisions hereof as though they were a party hereto. Each Holder further agrees to execute such agreements as may be reasonably requested by the underwriters in the Company’s IPO that are consistent with this Section 2.13 or that are necessary to give further effect thereto. Any discretionary waiver or termination of the restrictions of any or all of such agreements by the Company or the underwriters shall apply to all Holders subject to such agreements pro rata based on the number of shares subject to such agreements, except that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company and the underwriters may, in their sole discretion, waive or terminate these restrictions with respect to up to 100,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock.

 

12


In order to enforce the foregoing covenant, the Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the Registrable Securities of each Holder (and the shares or securities of every other person subject to the foregoing restriction) until the end of such period.

2.14. Termination of Registration Rights

(a) No Holder shall be entitled to exercise any right provided for in this Section 2, after five (5) years following the consummation of a Qualified Public Offering.

(b) In addition, the right of any Holder to exercise any right provided for in this Section 2, including the right to request registration or inclusion in a registration, shall terminate when all shares of Registrable Securities held by such Holder can be sold without restriction under SEC Rule 144(k).

3. Inspection Rights and Confidentiality.

3.1. Inspection. The Company shall permit an Investor or Stockholder, at such Investor’s or Stockholder’s expense, to visit and inspect the Company’s properties, to examine its books of account and records and to discuss the Company’s affairs, finances and accounts with its officers, all at such reasonable times as may be reasonably requested by the Investor or Stockholder; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated pursuant to this Section 3.1, to provide access to any information which it reasonably considers to be a trade secret or similar confidential information or would adversely affect the attorney-client privilege between the Company and its counsel. The covenant set forth in this Section 3.1 shall terminate and be of no further force or effect (i) immediately prior to the consummation of an IPO, (ii) when the Company first becomes subject to the periodic reporting requirements of Sections 12(g) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act; or (iii) upon a Sale of the Company, whichever event shall first occur.

3.2. Confidentiality. Each Investor agrees that such Investor will keep confidential and will not disclose, divulge or use for any purpose, other than to monitor its investment in the Company, any confidential information obtained from the Company pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, unless such confidential information (i) is known or becomes known to the public in general (other than as a result of a breach of this Section 3.2 by such Investor), (ii) is or has been independently developed or conceived by the Investor without use of the Company’s confidential information or (iii) is or has been made known or disclosed to the Investor by a third party without a breach of any obligation of confidentiality such third party may have to the Company; provided, however, that an Investor may disclose confidential information (a) to its attorneys, accountants, consultants, and other professionals to the extent necessary to obtain their services in connection with monitoring its investment in the Company, (b) to any prospective investor of any Registrable Securities from such Investor as long as such prospective investor agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section 3.2 or executes a similar confidentiality agreement, (c) to any Affiliate, partner, member, stockholder, prospective investor or acquirer or wholly owned subsidiary of such Investor or such other person with whom Investor is considering entering into a strategic relationship as long as such person agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section 3.2 or executes a similar confidentiality agreement or (d) as may otherwise be required by law (including without limitation disclosure of financial and other information required to be made in regulatory filings by Arrowhead), provided that the Investor takes reasonable steps to minimize the extent of any such required disclosure. The Company acknowledges that the Investors may be in the business of venture capital investing and therefore review the business plans and related proprietary information of many enterprises, including enterprises which may have products or services which compete directly or indirectly with those of the Company. Nothing in this Agreement shall preclude or in any way restrict the Investors from investing or participating in any particular enterprise whether or not such enterprise has products or services which compete with those of the Company.

4. Right of First Offer; First Refusal Right on Future Rounds: Directed Shares

4.1. Right of First Offer. Subject to the terms and conditions specified in this Section 4.1, and applicable securities laws, in the event the Company proposes to offer or sell any New Securities, the Company shall first make an offering of such New Securities to each Investor and Stockholder (for purposes of this Section 4.1 only, each a “Major Investor,” and collectively, “Major Investors”) in accordance with the following provisions of this Section 4.1. A Major Investor shall be entitled to apportion the right of first offer hereby granted it among itself and its partners, members and Affiliates in such proportions as it deems appropriate.

(a) The Company shall deliver a notice, in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.6 hereof (the “Offer Notice”), to each of the Major Investors stating (i) its bona fide intention to offer such New Securities, (ii) the number of such New Securities to be offered, and (iii) the price and terms, if any, upon which it proposes to offer such New Securities.

(b) By written notification received by the Company, within twenty (20) calendar days after mailing of the Offer Notice, each of the Major Investors may elect to purchase or obtain, at the price and on the terms specified in the Offer Notice, up to that portion of such New Securities which equals the proportion that the number of shares of Common Stock issued and held (and any other securities convertible into, or otherwise exercisable or exchangeable for, shares of Common Stock) by such Major Investor bears to the total number of shares of Common Stock of the Company then outstanding (assuming full conversion and exercise of all convertible or exercisable securities). The Company shall promptly, in writing, inform each Major Investor that elects to purchase all the shares available to it (each, a “Fully-Exercising Investor) of any other Major Investor’s failure to do likewise. During the ten (10) day period commencing after receipt of such information, each Fully-Exercising Investor shall be entitled to obtain that portion of the New Securities for which Major Investors were entitled to subscribe but which were not subscribed for by the Major Investors which is equal to the proportion that the number of shares of Common Stock issued and held by such Fully-Exercising Investor bears to the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and held by all Fully-Exercising Investors who wish to purchase such unsubscribed shares.

(c) If all New Securities referred to in the Offer Notice are not elected to be purchased or obtained as provided in Section 4.1(b) hereof, the Company may, during the ninety (90) day period following the expiration of the period provided in Section 4.1(b) hereof, offer the remaining unsubscribed portion of such New Securities (collectively, the “Refused Securities”) to any person or persons at a price not less than, and upon terms no more favorable to the offeree than, those specified in the Offer Notice. If the Company does not enter into an agreement for the sale of the New Securities within such period, or if such agreement is not consummated within thirty (30) days of the execution thereof, the right provided hereunder shall be deemed to be revived and such New Securities shall not be offered unless first reoffered to the Major Investors in accordance with this Section 4.1.

(d) The right of first offer in this Section 4.1 shall not be applicable to: (i) shares of Common Stock issued or deemed issued to employees or directors of, or consultants to, the Company or any of its subsidiaries pursuant to a plan, agreement, or arrangement approved by the Board; (ii) shares of Series C Preferred Stock issued in a transaction or series of transactions in a bona fide private financing transaction of the Company; (iii) shares of Common Stock issued in an IPO; (iii) the issuance of securities pursuant to the conversion or exercise of convertible or exercisable securities outstanding on the date hereof; (iv) securities issued in connection with any stock split or stock dividend of the Company; (v) the issuance of securities in connection with a bona fide business acquisition of or by the Company, whether by merger, consolidation, sale of assets, sale or exchange of stock or otherwise unanimously approved by the Board; (vi) the issuance of stock, warrants or other securities or rights to persons or entities with which the Company has business relationships provided such issuances are for other than primarily capital raising purposes and provided that at the time of any such issuance, the aggregate of such issuance

 

14


and similar issuances in the preceding twelve month period do not exceed one percent (1%) of the then outstanding Common Stock of the Company (assuming full conversion and exercise of all convertible and exercisable securities); or (vii) the issuance of up to an aggregate of 250,000 shares of Common Stock, or the grant of options or warrants therefor, in connection with any present or future borrowing, line of credit, leasing or similar financing arrangement approved by the Board, including at least one Investor-Designated Director and by a majority of the members of the Board who are not employees of the Company or any subsidiary.

(e) In lieu of complying with the provisions of this Section 4.1, the Company may elect to give notice to the Major Investors within thirty (30) days after the issuance of New Securities. Such notice shall describe the type, price and terms of the New Securities: Each Major Investor shall have twenty (20) days from the date of receipt of such notice to elect to purchase up to the number of New Securities that would, if purchased by such Major Investor, maintain such Major Investor’s percentage ownership position, calculated as set forth in Section 4.1(b) prior to giving effect to the issuance of such New Securities. The closing of such sale shall occur within sixty (60) days of the date of notice to the Major Investors.

4.2. Directed IPO Shares. In the event of an IPO, the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to cause the managing underwriter(s) of such IPO to designate a number of shares equal to ten percent (10%) of the Company’s shares of Common Stock to be offered in such IPO for sale under a “directed shares program” and shall instruct such underwriter(s) to allocate no less than fifty percent (50%) of such directed shares program to be sold to persons or entities designated by the Investor, pro rata on the basis of the number of shares held by each such holder. The shares designated by the underwriter(s) for sale under a directed shares program are referred to herein as “directed shares.” The Investors acknowledge that, despite the Company’s use of its reasonable best efforts, the underwriter(s) may determine in their sole discretion that it is not advisable to designate all such shares as directed shares in the IPO, in which case the number of designated shares may be reduced or no directed shares may be designated, as applicable. The Investors also acknowledge that notwithstanding the terms of this Agreement, the sale of any directed shares to any person or entity pursuant to this Agreement will only be made in compliance with Rule 2110 of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. Conduct Rules, IM-21 10-1 and federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations.

4.3. Termination. The provisions of Section 4.1 shall terminate (i) immediately prior to the consummation of a Qualified Public Offering, (ii) when the Company first becomes subject to the periodic reporting requirements of Sections 12(g) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act; or (iii) upon a Sale of the Company, whichever event shall first occur. The provisions of Section 4.2 shall terminate upon a Sale of the Company.

5. Additional Covenants

5.1. Insurance; Director Indemnification. The Company shall maintain its existing policy of Directors and Officers Errors and Omissions insurance. The Company shall provide indemnification to the former directors of Carbon Nanotechnologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“CNI”) as and to the same extent that the Company provides indemnification to directors of the Company under the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Company as of April 20, 2007.

5.2. Employee Agreements. The Company will cause each person now or hereafter employed by it or any subsidiary (or engaged by the Company or any subsidiary as a consultant/independent contractor) with access to confidential information and/or trade secrets to enter into a non-disclosure and proprietary rights assignment agreement substantially in the form approved by the Board. In addition, the Company shall not amend, modify, terminate, waive or otherwise alter, in whole or in part, any of the above-referenced agreements or any restricted stock agreement between the Company and any employee

 

15


without the consent of those members of the Board elected solely by the Investors pursuant to the Voting Agreement.

5.3. Vesting of Option, Stock Grants. Unless approved by the Board, including any Investor-Designated Director, all future employees and consultants of the Company, who shall purchase, or receive options to purchase, shares of the Company’s capital stock following the date hereof shall be required to execute stock purchase or option agreements providing for (i) vesting of shares over a four (4) year period, with twenty-five percent (25%) of the shares subject to such option vesting one (1) year after the applicable vesting commencement date and the balance of the shares subject to such option vesting in a series of thirty-six (36) successive equal monthly installments over the thirty-six (36)-month period measured from the first anniversary of the vesting commencement date, and (ii) a 180-day lockup period in connection with the Company’s IPO. The Company shall retain a “right of first refusal” on employee transfers until the Company’s IPO and the right to repurchase unvested shares at cost.

5.4. Meetings of the Board. Unless otherwise determined by the vote of a majority of the directors then in office, the Board shall meet at least quarterly in accordance with an agreed upon schedule.

5.5. Successor Indemnification. In the event that the Company or any of its successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other entity and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any person or entity, then, and in each such case, to the extent necessary, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of the Company assume the obligations of the Company with respect to indemnification of members of the Board as in effect immediately prior to such transaction, whether in the Company’s bylaws, Certificate of Incorporation, or elsewhere, as the case may be.

5.6. Termination of Covenants. The covenants set forth in this Section 5, except for Section 5.5, shall terminate and be of no further force or effect (i) immediately prior to the consummation of the sale of shares of Common Stock in the Company’s IPO, (ii) when the Company first becomes subject to the periodic reporting requirements of Sections 12(g) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act; or (iii) upon a Sale of the Company, whichever event shall first occur.

condition to the Company’s recognizing such transfer, each transferee or assignee shall agree in writing to be subject to each of the terms of this Agreement by executing and delivering an Adoption Agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A. Upon the execution and delivery of an Adoption Agreement by any transferee, such transferee shall be deemed to be a party hereto as if such transferee’s signature appeared on the signature pages of this Agreement.

The Company shall not permit the transfer of the Registrable Securities subject to this Agreement on its books or issue a new certificate representing any such Registrable Securities unless and until such transferee shall have complied with the terms of this Section 6.2. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any party other than the parties or their respective executors, administrators, heirs, successors and assigns any rights, remedies, obligations, or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement, except as expressly provided in this Agreement.

Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this paragraph shall be binding upon each holder of any Registrable Securities then outstanding, each future holder of all such Registrable Securities, and the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may not be amended or terminated and the observance of any term hereunder may not be waived with respect to any Investor without the written consent of such Investor, unless such amendment, termination or waiver applies to all Investors in the same fashion (it being agreed that a waiver of the provisions of Section 4 with respect to a particular transaction shall be deemed to apply to all Investors in the same fashion if such waiver does so by its terms, notwithstanding the fact that certain Investors may nonetheless, by agreement with the Company, purchase securities in such transaction). The Company shall give prompt written notice of any amendment or termination hereof or waiver hereunder to any party hereto that did not consent in writing to such amendment, termination or waiver.

No delay or omission to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing to any party under this Agreement, upon any breach or default of any other party under this Agreement, shall impair any such right, power or remedy of such nonbreaching or non-defaulting party nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of any such breach or default, or an acquiescence therein, or of or in any similar breach or default thereafter occurring; nor shall any waiver of any single breach or default be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default theretofore or thereafter occurring. Any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind or character on the part of any party of any breach or default under this Agreement, or any waiver on the part of any party of any provisions or conditions of this Agreement, must be in writing and shall be effective only to the extent specifically set forth in such writing.

Amended and Restated Right of First Refusal and Co-Sale Agreement


AMENDED AND RESTATED

RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL AND CO-SALE AGREEMENT

This Amended and Restated Right of First Refusal and Co-Sale Agreement (the “Agreement”) is made as of the October [    ], 2007, among Unidym, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), the investors listed on Schedule A hereto (the “Investors”), and the key stockholders listed on Schedule B hereto (each of which is referred to in this Agreement as a “Key Stockholder”).

RECITALS

WHEREAS, the Company, certain of the Investors, and certain of the Key Stockholders entered into an Amended and Restated Right of First Refusal and Co-Sale Agreement dated as of April 20, 2007 (the “Prior Agreement”);

WHEREAS, certain investors (the “Series C Investors”) have agreed to purchase shares of the Company’s Series C Preferred Stock pursuant to a certain Series C Preferred Stock Subscription Agreement by and between the Company and such Series C Investor dated from and after the date of this Agreement (each a “Series C Agreement”). Each Series C Agreement provides that, as a condition to the Series C Investor’s purchase of Series C Stock thereunder, the Company will enter into this Agreement and the Series C Investor will be granted the rights set forth herein;

WHEREAS, the Company and the parties to the Prior Agreement desire to enter into this Agreement in order to amend, restate and replace their rights and obligations under the Prior Agreement with the rights and obligations set forth in this Agreement, and Section 10(e) of the Prior Agreement provides that the Prior Agreement may be amended by the written consent of (i) the Company, (ii) the holders of a majority of the Common Stock issuable or issued upon conversion of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock and (iii) the holders of a majority of the Key Stockholder Stock;

WHEREAS, the parties to this Agreement have reached certain agreements and understandings with respect to the sale, assignment, transfer, encumbrance or other disposition of any shares of capital stock (or any securities convertible into or exercisable for any shares of capital stock) of the Company now held or hereafter acquired by each Key Stockholder, including any shares of Series A Preferred Stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), any shares of Series B Preferred Stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Series B Preferred Stock”) and any shares of Series C Preferred Stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Series C Preferred Stock” and together with the Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock, the “Preferred Stock”), of the Company, (collectively, the “Key Stockholder Stock” with respect to each such Key Stockholder); and

WHEREAS, the Company has provided its written consent to amend the Prior Agreement, the undersigned parties hold a majority of the Common Stock issuable or issued upon conversion of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock and the undersigned parties hold a majority of the Key Stockholder Stock.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the promises and covenants contained herein, the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, all parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Right of First Refusal on Key Stockholder Stock. Before any Key Stockholder may sell, pledge, encumber or transfer to a third party any Key Stockholder Stock held by such Key Stockholder, such Key Stockholder Stock shall be offered to the Company and the Investors in the following manner:


(a) Company Right of First Refusal. If at any time a Key Stockholder proposes to transfer any Key Stockholder Stock to one or more third parties, then such selling Key Stockholder (the “Selling Stockholder”) shall give the Company a written notice (the “Company Notice”) stating (i) his, her or its bona fide intention to sell or transfer such Key Stockholder Stock, (ii) the identity of the person or persons to whom the Key Stockholder proposes to sell or transfer such Key Stockholder Stock (the “Proposed Transferee”), (iii) the number of shares of such Key Stockholder Stock proposed to be sold or transferred (which amount of Key Stockholder Stock shall be referred to herein as “Offered Stock”) and (iv) the purchase price for which such Key Stockholder proposes to sell or transfer such Offered Stock. The Company shall have the right, at any time within twenty-five (25) days of receipt of the above Company Notice, to purchase or obtain some or all of the Offered Stock at the price and on the terms specified in the Company Notice.

(b) Investors’ Right of First Refusal; CNI Stockholders’ Right of Co-Sale. If, after the expiration of such twenty-five (25) day period, the Company has not elected to purchase all of the Offered Stock, such Selling Stockholder shall offer such Offered Stock to the Investors in the following manner:

(i) The Selling Stockholder shall deliver a notice (the “Investors Notice”) to the Investors (who are parties to this Agreement as of the date of the Investors Notice) and the other Key Stockholders (who are parties to this Agreement as of the date of the Investors Notice) stating the same information as set forth in the Company Notice.

(ii) Each of the Investors shall have the right to purchase all or a portion of the remaining Offered Stock not elected to be purchased by the Company (the “Remaining Stock”), subject to the following:

(A) If any of the Investors are interested in purchasing any of the Remaining Stock, such Investors shall, within five (5) days of receipt of the Investors Notice, provide the Carbon Nanotechnologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“CNI”) Stockholders identified on Schedule B hereto with a written notice (the “CNI Notice” and, together with the Company Notice, and the Investors Notice, the “Notices”) stating the same information set forth in the Investors Notice and that portion of the Remaining Stock that such Investors intend to purchase. Each CNI Stockholder shall have the right to participate in the proposed sale of the Remaining Shares to the Investors by substituting up to that number of Common Stock and/or Preferred Stock equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the aggregate number of Remaining Stock covered by the CNI Notice by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock (assuming conversion of all issued and outstanding shares of Preferred Stock) held by such CNI Stockholder on the date of the CNI Notice and the denominator of which is the total number of shares of Common Stock (assuming conversion of all issued and outstanding shares of Preferred Stock) held by all CNI Stockholders on the date of the CNI Notice (the “CNI Substitution Right”). To exercise the CNI Substitution Right, the CNI Stockholder must give written notice to each of the Investors (the “CNI Election Notice”) and to the Selling Stockholder by overnight courier, within five (5) business days after receipt of the CNI Notice. Any sale of Common Stock and/or Preferred Stock by a CNI Stockholder to the Investors pursuant to the terms of this paragraph shall be on the same terms and conditions as the proposed sale of the Offered Shares. The delivery of the CNI Election Notice by a CNI Stockholder shall constitute an irrevocable commitment to sell such shares and the Selling Stockholder shall be required to reduce the number of shares of Offered Stock that such Selling Stockholder may sell to the Investors so as to accommodate the CNI Substitution Right of all CNI Stockholders

electing to exercise such CNI Substitution Right.

(iii) If, after the expiration of such five (5) day period, the CNI Stockholders have not delivered a CNI Election Notice to substitute that number of their shares of Common Stock and/or Preferred Stock equal to their respective pro rata share of all of the Remaining Stock, then at any time within fifteen (15) days after expiration of such five (5) day period, each Investor may elect to purchase or obtain from the Selling Stockholder, at the price and on the terms specified in the Investors Notice, up to that number of shares of the Remaining Stock equal to the product obtained by multiplying (A) the Remaining Stock by (B) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock (assuming conversion of all shares of the Company’s Preferred Stock) then held by such Investor and the denominator of which is the total number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock (assuming conversion of all shares of the Company’s Preferred Stock) then held by all the Investors.

(iv) After the expiration of such fifteen (15) day period, the Selling Stockholder shall promptly, in writing, notify each Investor that elects to purchase any portion of the Remaining Stock available to it pursuant to Section 1(b)(iii) (an “Exercising Investor”) of any Investor’s failure to purchase all of the Remaining Stock available to it. During the ten (10) day period commencing after such notice is given, each Exercising Investor shall be entitled to obtain that portion of the unsubscribed for Remaining Stock which is equal to the proportion that the number of shares of Common Stock (assuming conversion of all shares of Preferred Stock) then held by such Exercising Investor bears to the total number of shares of Common Stock (assuming conversion of all shares of Preferred Stock) then held by all Exercising Investors who wish to purchase some of the unsubscribed shares of Offered Stock.

(c) Non-Cash Payments. Should the purchase price specified in the Notices be payable in property other than cash or evidences of indebtedness, the Company (and/or the Investors, as applicable) shall have the right to pay the purchase price in the form of cash equal in amount to the value of such property. If the Selling Stockholder (and/or the CNI Stockholders) and the Company (and/or the Investors) cannot agree on such cash value within ten (10) days after the Company’s receipt of the applicable Notice, the valuation shall be made by an appraiser of recognized standing selected by the Selling Stockholder (and/or the CNI Stockholders) and the Company (and/or the Investors) or, if they cannot agree on an appraiser within twenty (20) days after the Company’s receipt of the applicable Notice, each shall select an appraiser of recognized standing and the two (2) appraisers so nominated shall appoint a third appraiser, and the determination of such third appraiser shall be determinative of such value. The cost of such appraisal shall be shared equally by the Selling Stockholder (and/or the CNI Stockholders) and the Company (and/or the Investors), with the half of the cost borne by the Company and the Investors borne by them on a pro rata basis, based on the number of shares such parties were interested in purchasing pursuant to this Section 1. If either of the fifteen (15) day periods for the election to purchase by the Company or the Investors set forth in Section 1(a) or Section 1(b), respectively, has expired but the determination of the value of the purchase price offered by the Proposed Transferee has not yet been made, then any such period shall be extended through the fifth (5th) business day after such valuation shall have been made pursuant to this Section 1(c).

(d) Assignment. The right of first refusal set forth in Section 1(b) may not be assigned or transferred, except that (i) such right is assignable by each Investor to any wholly owned subsidiary or parent of, or to any corporation, partner, member or entity that is, within the meaning of the 1933 Securities Act, as amended (the “Act”), controlling, controlled by or under common control with, any such Investor, and (ii) such right is assignable between and among any of the Investors.

 

3


(e) Permitted Sales of Refused Securities. If the Company and the Investors have not purchased all of the Offered Stock under their right of first refusal as described herein and subject to the provisions of Section 2 below, the Selling Stockholder (and/or CNI Stockholder) may then sell all of the Offered Stock not subscribed for by the Company and any Exercising Investors to the Proposed Transferee at a price not less than, and upon terms no more favorable to the Proposed Transferee than, those specified in the Notice (and the Investors Notice, if any), provided that such sale or transfer is consummated within sixty (60) days of the Company’s receipt of the Notice, and provided further that any such sale is in accordance with all the terms and conditions hereof. If the Selling Stockholder fails to consummate the sale or transfer within such sixty (60) day period, the right of first refusal of the Company and the Investors provided hereby (and any co-sale rights contained in Section 2 below) shall be deemed to be revived with respect to the Offered Stock and no sale or transfer of Key Stockholder Stock shall be effected without first offering the shares in accordance herewith.

2. Co-Sale Rights. In the event the Company and the Investors have not purchased all of the Offered Stock under their right of first refusal under Section 1 or in the event that any Investor proposes to transfer or sell any shares of Common Stock and/or Preferred Stock of the Company, the Selling Stockholder or such Investor, as the case may be (the “Co-Sale Seller”), shall provide written notice by overnight courier (the “Co-Sale Notice”) to all of the Key Stockholders and Investors (other than the Co-Sale Seller) informing them of the number and class or series of shares that such Co-Sale Seller intends to sell (the “Co-Sale Shares”) to a third party or parties (the “Co-Sale Transferee”).

(a) Each Key Stockholder and Investor shall have the right to participate in the proposed sale by the Co-Sale Seller and sell to the Co-Sale Transferee up to that number of shares of Common Stock and/or Preferred Stock equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the aggregate number of Co-Sale Shares covered by the Co-Sale Notice by (ii) a fraction the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock (assuming conversion of all issued and outstanding shares of Preferred Stock) held by such Investor or Key Stockholder on the date of the Co-Sale Notice and the denominator of which is the total number of shares of Common Stock (assuming conversion of all issued and outstanding shares of Preferred Stock) held by all the Investors and Key Stockholders, including the Co-Sale Seller, on the date of the Co-Sale Notice. To exercise such right of co-sale, the Investor or Key Stockholder must give written notice to the Selling Stockholder by overnight mail, within five (5) business days after receipt of the Co-Sale Notice of its election to participate in such sale of Co-Sale Shares (such electing Investors and Key Stockholders are collectively referred to as the “Participating Sellers”). Any such participation shall be on the same terms and conditions as the proposed sale of Co-Sale Shares. The delivery of the notice of election by a Participating Seller under this paragraph shall constitute an irrevocable commitment by such Participating Seller to sell such shares. To the extent one or more of the Investors and/or Key Stockholders exercise such right of participation in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth below, the number of Co-Sale Shares that the Co-Sale Seller may sell to the Co-Sale Transferee in the transaction shall be correspondingly reduced.

(b) Each Participating Seller shall effect its participation in the sale by promptly delivering to the Co-Sale Seller for transfer to the Co-Sale Transferee one or more certificates, properly endorsed for transfer, which represent (i) the type and number of shares of Common Stock which the Co-Sale Seller elects to sell or (ii) that number of shares of Preferred Stock which is at such time convertible into the number of shares of Common Stock which the Co-Sale Seller elects to sell; provided, however, that if the Co-Sale Transferee objects to the delivery of the Preferred Stock, in lieu of Common Stock, the Participating Seller shall convert such Preferred Stock into Common Stock and deliver Common Stock as provided in subparagraph (i) above. The Company agrees to make any such conversion concurrent with the actual transfer of such shares to the Co-Sale Transferee.

 

4


(c) The stock certificates which the Participating Sellers deliver to the Co-Sale Seller pursuant to Section 2(b) shall be transferred by the Co-Sale Seller to the Co-Sale Transferee in consummation of the sale of the Co-Sale Shares pursuant to the terms and conditions specified in the Co-Sale Notice, and the Co-Sale Seller shall promptly thereafter remit to each Participating Seller that portion of the sale proceeds to which the Participating Seller is entitled by reason of its or his participation in such sale.

(d) The exercise or non-exercise of the rights of the Investors or Key Stockholders hereunder to participate in one or more sales of Co-Sale Shares by a Co-Sale Seller shall not adversely affect their rights to participate in subsequent sales by any Investors or Key Stockholders.

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Section 2 shall not apply to the sale of any Key Stockholder Stock by a Key Stockholder to the Company.

(f) The co-sale right set forth in this Section 2 may not be assigned or transferred, except that (i) such right is assignable by each Investor to any wholly-owned subsidiary or parent of, or to any corporation, partner or entity that is, within the meaning of the Act, controlling, controlled by or under common control with, any such Investor, and (ii) such right is assignable between and among any of the Investors and Key Stockholders.

3. Invalid Transfers. Any sale, pledge, encumbrance, assignment or other transfer of Key Stockholder Stock or Co-Sale Shares, as the case may be, by an Investor or Key Stockholder contrary to the provisions of Sections 1 and 2, as applicable, shall be null and void, and the transferee shall not be recognized by the Company as the holder or owner of the Key Stockholder Stock or Co-Sale Shares, as the case may be, unless and until the Key Stockholder or Investor, as the case may be, has satisfied the requirements of Sections 1 and 2 with respect to such sale. The Key Stockholder or Investor shall provide the Company with written evidence that such requirements have been met or waived prior to consummating any sale, assignment or other transfer of Key Stockholder Stock or Co-Sale Shares, as the case may be, and no Key Stockholder Stock or Co-Sale Shares shall be transferred on the books of the Company until such written evidence thereof has been received by the Company.

4. Permitted Transfers. The restrictions contained in this Agreement with respect to transfers of shares of Key Stockholder Stock or Co-Sale Shares shall not apply (a) subject to Section 5 below, to any transfer or assignment, without consideration, by a Key Stockholder or Investor to the spouse of such Key Stockholder or Investor, issue of such Key Stockholder or Investor, including adopted children, or other relatives of such Key Stockholder or Investor (including, for all purposes of this Agreement, persons related by marriage), or to any transfer to a trust or partnership for the exclusive benefit of such Key Stockholder or Investor and/or such Key Stockholder’s or Investor’s spouse, issue, including adopted children, or other relatives and/or any charitable purpose, or to distributions made by such trust to the beneficiaries thereof; (b) subject to Section 5 below, to transfers by the Key Stockholder’s or Investor’s executor, administrator or personal representative upon the death of such Key Stockholder or Investor; (c) any transfer or assignment by an Investor to an Affiliate (as defined in Section 7 hereof) of such Investor; (d) any transfer or assignment by a Key Stockholder that is not an individual to an Affiliate of such Key Stockholder; or (e) to any transfer of Key Stockholder Stock by a Key Stockholder (i) pursuant to a statutory merger or statutory consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation or corporations or (ii) pursuant to a sale of the Company’s Common Stock in a firm commitment underwritten public offering, or (f) to any transfer of Co-Sale Shares by an Investor pursuant to a sale of the Company’s Common Stock in a firm commitment underwritten public offering; provided, that in each of cases (a), (b), (c) and (d), each transferee, donee, heir or distributee shall, as a condition precedent to such transfer, execute an adoption agreement as described in Section 10(c) of this Agreement.

 

5


5. Involuntary Transfers.

(a) In the event of any involuntary transfer by operation of law or otherwise pursuant to which any Key Stockholder shall be deprived or divested of any right, title or interest in his Key Stockholder Stock (other than Key Stockholder Stock subject to repurchase by the Company upon an involuntary transfer pursuant to any other agreement between the Key Stockholder and the Company, the form of which has been approved by the Board of Directors of the Company) (the “Subject Stock”), including in connection with any divorce or separation, or as a result of bankruptcy, reorganization, attachment, levy, execution, sequestration or garnishment, or transfers in connection with pledge foreclosures, but excluding death, the Company and the Investors shall have the same option to purchase all of the Subject Stock so transferred as specified in Section 1 (except that (i) the time periods for exercising the rights shall run from the date of receipt by the Company of notice of the involuntary transfer, (ii) the exercise notices shall be delivered to the transferee of the Subject Stock, and (iii) the price per share of the Subject Stock shall be the fair market value thereof if the Company and/or the Investors elect to exercise the option to purchase any Subject Stock pursuant to this Section 5). Upon such a transfer, the persons acquiring the Subject Stock and the Key Stockholder deprived or divested of the Subject Stock shall promptly notify the Secretary of the Company and the Investors in writing of such transfer and the identity of the person or persons who take or propose to take an interest in the Subject Stock. Such person or persons shall hold such interest subject to the rights of the Company and the Investors pursuant to this Section 5.

(b) As used herein, “fair market value” shall mean the fair market value of a share of such Subject Stock, representing the price a willing buyer would pay and at which a willing seller would sell, neither under any compulsion or duress, determined by valuing the consideration that would be received in a sale of one hundred percent (100%) of the equity of the Company (the “Company Value”), as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, and then allocating to the Subject Stock the portion of the Company Value that the Subject Stock would receive if the Company Value were distributed in a liquidation under the terms of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation. Any notice of exercise of the option to purchase any Subject Stock pursuant to this Section 5 shall specify the purchase price determined by the Board of Directors.

(c) If the transferee or proposed transferee disagrees with the purchase price determined by the Board of Directors, the transferee and the Company (or the Investors, if the Company is not purchasing any shares of the Subject Stock) shall attempt to agree on the purchase price for a period of fifteen (15) days. If they are unable to reach agreement in such fifteen (15) day period, then the transferee or proposed transferee and the Company (or the Investors, as applicable) shall agree on an independent appraiser skilled in valuing securities similar to the Subject Stock. If the parties cannot agree on an independent appraiser, then each party shall, within ten (10) days, nominate an independent appraiser and the two (2) appraisers so nominated shall appoint a third appraiser skilled in valuing securities similar to the Subject Stock within thirty (30) days of being appointed, and the determination of such third appraiser shall be conclusive and binding on all parties. If the fair market value of the Subject Stock as determined by the independent appraiser exceeds the price determined by the Board of Directors by five percent (5%) or more, the fees and expenses of such appraiser shall be paid by the Company (or the Investors, as applicable). If the price determined by the independent appraiser does not exceed the price determined by the Board of Directors by five percent (5%) or more, the fees and expenses of such appraiser shall be paid by the transferee. In the event that the Company and the Investors do not purchase all of the Subject Stock involved in any involuntary transfer, the person or persons taking an interest in the Subject Stock shall take and hold all rights and interests in any Subject Stock not so purchased, subject to the terms of this Agreement.

6. Market Stand-Off.

(a) To the extent that an Investor or Key Stockholder is not a party to the Amended and Restated Investors’ Rights Agreement of even date herewith among the Company and stockholders of the Company identified on Schedule A or Schedule B thereto, such Key Stockholder or Investor, as the case may be, hereby agrees that, during the period of duration specified by the Company and an underwriter of common stock or other securities of the Company, following the effective date of a registration statement of the Company filed under the Act, it shall not, to the extent requested by the Company and such underwriter, directly or indirectly sell, offer to sell, contract to sell (including, without limitation, any short sale), grant any option to purchase or otherwise transfer or dispose of (other than to donees who agree to be similarly bound) any securities of the Company held by it at any time during such period except Common Stock included in such registration; provided, however, that such agreement shall not exceed one hundred eighty (180) days from the effective date of registration (which period may be extended upon the request of the managing underwriter for an additional period of up to fifteen (15) days if the Company issues or proposes to issue an earnings or other public release within fifteen (15) days of the expiration of the 180-day lockup period). The foregoing provisions of this Section 6(a) shall apply only to the Company’s first underwritten public offering of its Common Stock pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, resulting in at least $20 million of gross proceeds to the Company (the “IPO”), shall not apply to the sale of any shares to an underwriter pursuant to an underwriting agreement, and shall only be applicable to Investors or Key Stockholders hereunder if all officers, directors and greater than one percent (1%) stockholders of the Company enter into similar agreements. The underwriters in connection with the Company’s IPO are intended third-party beneficiaries of this Section 6(a) and shall have the right, power and authority to enforce the provisions hereof as though they were a party hereto. Each Investor and Key Stockholder subject to this Section 6(a) further agrees to execute such agreements as may be reasonably requested by the underwriters in the Company’s IPO that are consistent with this Section 6(a) or that are necessary to give further effect thereto. Any discretionary waiver or termination of the restrictions of any or all of such agreements by the Company or the underwriters shall apply to all Investors and Key Stockholders subject to such agreements pro rata based on the number of shares subject to such agreements, except that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company and the underwriters may, in their sole discretion, waive or terminate these restrictions with respect to up to 100,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock.

(b) In the event of any stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization or other change affecting the Company’s outstanding Common Stock effected without receipt of consideration, then any new, substituted or additional securities distributed with respect to the Key Stockholder Stock shall be immediately subject to the provisions of Section 6(a), to the same extent the Key Stockholder Stock is at such time covered by such provisions.

(c) In order to enforce the foregoing covenant, the Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the shares of capital stock of the Company held by the Investors and Key Stockholders (and the shares or securities of every other person subject to the foregoing restriction).

7. Drag Along Rights. If stockholders holding at least a majority of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock of the Company, voting together as a single class and on an as-if-converted basis (the “Drag Along Holders”) desire that there be effected (a) any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any other corporation or other entity or person (or any other corporate reorganization) in which the stockholders of the Company immediately prior to such consolidation, merger or reorganization, will own less than fifty percent (50%) of the voting power of the surviving entity immediately after such consolidation, merger or reorganization, (b) any other transaction or series of related transactions to which the Company will be a party in which in excess of fifty percent (50%) of the Company’s voting power is transferred, or (c) any transaction or series of related

 

7


transactions in which all or substantially all of the assets of the Company are sold, leased, exclusively licensed or otherwise disposed of, whereby each of the transactions referred to above (i) is not with an Affiliate (as defined below) of the Company or any Drag-Along Holder and (ii) will result in the proceeds and/or consideration payable in respect of capital stock of the Company being distributed or paid among the holders of Common Stock and Preferred Stock in relative amounts (based on the class(es) and/or series of capital stock they own) as if such proceeds and/or consideration had been distributed by the Company in connection with a “Deemed Liquidation Event” (as defined in the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation as then in effect) (each of the transactions referred to in clauses (a), (b) and (c), and further limited by clauses (i) and (ii), referred to herein as a “Drag-Along Transaction”), each Key Stockholder shall vote its Key Stockholder Stock for, consent to and otherwise raise no objections to the Drag-Along Transaction. If the Drag-Along Transaction is structured as a consolidation or merger of the Company, or a sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, each Key Stockholder shall waive any dissenters’ rights, appraisal rights or similar rights in connection with such consolidation, merger or asset sale. If the Drag-Along Transaction is structured as a sale of the stock of the Company, each Key Stockholder shall agree to sell its Key Stockholder Stock on the terms and conditions approved by the Drag-Along Holders; provided, however, that no Key Stockholder shall be obligated in connection with such Drag-Along Transaction (x) to make any representation and warranty other than as to such Key Stockholder’s ownership of the securities and the transfer of title thereof to the transferee, as to such Key Stockholder’s ability to transfer such securities free and clear of all liens and encumbrances (other than liens or encumbrances under the definitive agreement with respect to such Drag-Along Transaction and under this Agreement), as to the fact that there are no required consents necessary to transfer ownership of such securities and as to such Key Stockholder’s authority to execute the applicable definitive agreement and transfer such securities or (y) to indemnify the prospective transferee, its Affiliates or any other Person with respect to an amount in excess of the cash proceeds paid to such Key Stockholder in connection with such Drag-Along Transaction (or, if less, such Key Stockholder’s pro rata share (based on the portion of the consideration for the securities of such Key Stockholder to be disposed of) of the amount due as a result of such indemnification); and any indemnity given by any Key Stockholder shall be several and not joint and no Key Stockholder shall be required to execute a non-compete, non-solicitation, or other restrictive covenant of any kind in connection with such Drag-Along Transaction other than a customary covenant with respect to the protection of confidential or proprietary information. Subject to the foregoing, each Key Stockholder shall take all necessary and desirable actions approved by the Drag-Along Holders in connection with the consummation of the Drag-Along Transaction, including executing such agreements and instruments and taking such other actions as may be necessary to provide the representations, warranties, indemnities, covenants, conditions, escrow agreements and other provisions and agreements relating to such Drag-Along Transaction.

If any Key Stockholder should marry or remarry subsequent to the date of this Agreement, such Key Stockholder shall within thirty (30) days thereafter obtain his/her new spouse’s acknowledgement of and consent to the existence and binding effect of all restrictions contained in this Agreement by causing such spouse to execute and deliver a Consent of Spouse acknowledging the restrictions and obligations contained in this Agreement and agreeing and consenting to the same.

(h) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

(i) Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, unenforceable or void, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect without said provision. In such event, the parties shall negotiate, in good

 

10


faith, a valid, legal and enforceable substitute provision which most nearly effects the intent of the parties in entering into this Agreement.

(j) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California as applied to agreements between California residents entered into and performed in California.

(k) Aggregation of Stock. For the purposes of determining the availability of any rights under this Agreement, the holdings of any transferee and assignee of an individual or a partnership who is a spouse, ancestor, lineal descendant or siblings of such individual or partners or retired partners of such partnership or affiliates of such partnership (including spouses and ancestors, lineal descendants and siblings of such partners or spouses who acquire Common Stock by gift, will or intestate succession) shall be aggregated together with the individual or partnership, as the case may be, for the purpose of exercising any rights or taking any action under this Agreement.

The following is a statement of the designations and the powers, privileges and rights, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof in respect of each class of capital stock of the Corporation. Unless otherwise indicated, references to “Sections” or “Subsections” in this Article Fourth refer to sections and subsections of this Article Fourth.

A. COMMON STOCK

1. General. The voting, dividend and liquidation rights of the holders of the Common Stock are subject to and qualified by the rights, powers and preferences of the holders of the Preferred Stock set forth herein.

2. Voting. The holders of the Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share of Common Stock held at all meetings of stockholders (and written actions in lieu of meetings). The number of authorized shares of Common Stock may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) by (in addition to any vote of the holders of one or more series of Preferred Stock that may be required by the terms of the Certificate of Incorporation) the affirmative vote of the holders of shares of capital stock of the Corporation representing a majority of the votes represented by all outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote, irrespective of the provisions of Section 242(b)(2) of the General Corporation Law.

B. PREFERRED STOCK

The Preferred Stock shall have the following rights, preferences, powers, privileges and restrictions, qualifications and limitations.

1. Dividend Rights.

1.1 Series C Preferred Stock. The holders of shares of Series C Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, when and if declared by the Board of Directors of the Corporation, out of any assets legally available therefor, non-cumulative dividends at such rate per share per annum as may be determined by the Board of Directors of the Corporation, prior and in preference to any declaration or payment of any cash dividend on the Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock or Common Stock of the Corporation.

1.2 Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock. Subject to the prior dividend rights of the Series C Preferred Stock set forth in subsection 1.1, the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, when and if declared by the Board of Directors of the Corporation, out of any assets legally available therefor, non-cumulative dividends at such rate per share per annum as may be determined by the Board of Directors of the Corporation, prior and in preference to any declaration or payment of any cash dividend on the Common Stock of the Corporation. Any such dividends shall be distributed among the holders of Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock pro rata based on the number of shares of Common Stock held by each, determined on an as-if-converted basis (assuming full conversion of all such Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock) as of the record date with respect to the declaration of such dividends.

1.3 Participation Rights. If, after dividends, if any, in the full amounts specified in subsections 1.1 and 1.2 for the Preferred Stock have been paid or declared, the Board of Directors of the Corporation may, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors of the Corporation, declare additional dividends out of assets legally available therefor. Any such dividends shall be distributed pro rata among the holders of the Common Stock and the holders of the Preferred Stock on a pari passu basis

 

2


based on the number of shares of Common Stock held by each, determined on an as-if-converted basis (assuming full conversion of all such Preferred Stock) as of the record date with respect to the declaration of such dividends.

2. Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding Up; Certain Mergers, Consolidations and Asset Sales.

2.1 Payments to Holders of Series C Preferred Stock. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation or Deemed Liquidation Event (as defined below) the holders of shares of Series C Preferred Stock then outstanding shall be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders before any payment shall be made to the holders of Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock or Common Stock by reason of their ownership thereof, an amount per share equal to the greater of (i) $1.80 (subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination or other similar recapitalization with respect to the Series C Preferred Stock) (the “Series C Original Issue Price”), plus any dividends declared but unpaid thereon, or (ii) such amount per share as would have been payable had each such share of Series C Preferred Stock been converted into Common Stock pursuant to Section 4 immediately prior to such liquidation, dissolution or winding up (the amount payable pursuant to this sentence is hereinafter referred to as the “Series C Liquidation Amount”). If upon any such voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation or Deemed Liquidation Event, the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders shall be insufficient to pay the holders of shares of Series C Preferred Stock the full amount to which they shall be entitled under this Subsection 2.1, the holders of shares of Series C Preferred Stock shall share ratably in any distribution of the assets available for distribution in proportion to the respective amounts which 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.

2.2 Payments to Holders of Series B Preferred Stock. Subject to payment in full of the Series C Liquidation Amount as provided in Section 2.1 above, in the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation or Deemed Liquidation Event, the holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock then outstanding shall be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders before any payment shall be made to the holders of Series A Preferred Stock and Common Stock by reason of their ownership thereof, an amount per share equal to the greater of (i) $1.938923 (subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination or other similar recapitalization with respect to the Series B Preferred Stock) (the “Series B Original Issue Price”), plus any dividends declared but unpaid thereon or (ii) such amount per share as would have been payable had each such share of Series B Preferred Stock been converted into Common Stock pursuant to Section 4 immediately prior to such liquidation, dissolution or winding up (the amount payable pursuant to this sentence is hereinafter referred to as the “Series B Liquidation Amount”). If upon any such voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation or Deemed Liquidation Event, the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders shall be insufficient to pay the holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock the full amount to which they shall be entitled under this Subsection 2.2, the holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall share ratably in any distribution of the assets available for distribution in proportion to the respective amounts which 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.

2.3 Payments to Holders of Common Stock. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation or Deemed Liquidation Event, after the payment of all preferential amounts required to be paid to the holders of shares of Series C Preferred Stock pursuant to Subsection 2.1 and Series B Preferred Stock pursuant to Subsection 2.2, the remaining

 

3


assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders shall be distributed among the holders of shares of Common Stock, pro rata based on the number of shares held by each such holder and after giving effect to the conversion of all shares of Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 4.1.1 or Section 5.1 hereof, as applicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no payments shall be made to the holders of shares of Common Stock under this Section 2.3 unless all of the issued and outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock have converted into shares of Common Stock.

2.4 Deemed Liquidation Events.

2.4.1 Definition. Each of the following events shall be considered a “Deemed Liquidation Event” unless the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock and at least a majority of the outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock (each voting separately as a class and on as-if-converted basis) elect otherwise by written notice sent to the Corporation at least 5 days prior to the effective date of any such event:

(a) a merger, reorganization or consolidation in which

 

  (i) the Corporation is a constituent party or

 

  (ii) a subsidiary of the Corporation is a constituent party and the Corporation issues shares of its capital stock pursuant to such merger or consolidation,

except any such merger, reorganization or consolidation involving the Corporation or a subsidiary in which the shares of capital stock of the Corporation outstanding immediately prior to such merger or consolidation continue to represent, or are converted into or exchanged for shares of capital stock that represent, immediately following such merger, reorganization or consolidation, at least a majority, by voting power, of the capital stock of (1) the surviving or resulting corporation or entity or (2) if the surviving or resulting corporation or entity is a wholly owned subsidiary of another corporation or entity immediately following such merger, reorganization or consolidation, the parent corporation or entity of such surviving or resulting corporation or entity (provided that, for the purpose of this Subsection 2.4.1, all shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of Options (as defined below) outstanding immediately prior to such merger or consolidation or upon conversion of Convertible Securities (as defined below) outstanding immediately prior to such merger or consolidation shall be deemed to be outstanding immediately prior to such merger or consolidation and, if applicable, converted or exchanged in such merger or consolidation on the same terms as the actual outstanding shares of Common Stock are converted or exchanged); or

(b) the sale, lease, exclusive license, transfer or other disposition, in a single transaction or series of related transactions, by the Corporation or any subsidiary of the Corporation of all or substantially all the assets of the Corporation and its subsidiaries taken as a whole or the sale or disposition (whether by merger or otherwise) of one or more subsidiaries of the Corporation if substantially all of the assets of the Corporation and its subsidiaries taken as a whole are held by such subsidiary or subsidiaries, except where such sale, lease, exclusive license, transfer or other disposition is to a wholly owned subsidiary of the Corporation; or

(c) a transaction or series of related transactions of the Corporation in which a person, or a group of related persons, acquires shares representing fifty percent (50%) or more of the outstanding voting power of the Corporation, except equity securities of the Corporation in a bona fide private financing transaction of the Corporation.

2.4.2 Effecting a Deemed Liquidation Event.

(a) The Corporation shall not have the power to effect a Deemed Liquidation Event referred to in
Subsection 2.4.1(a)(i)
above unless the agreement or plan of merger, reorganization or consolidation for such transaction (the “Merger Agreement”) provides that the consideration payable to the stockholders of the Corporation shall be allocated among the holders of capital stock of the Corporation in accordance with Subsections 2.1, 2.2 and 2.3 above.

(b) In the event of a Deemed Liquidation Event referred to in Subsection 2.4.1(a)(ii), 2.4.1(b), or 2.4.1(c) above, if the Corporation does not effect a dissolution of the Corporation under the General Corporation Law within 90 days after such Deemed Liquidation Event, then (i) the Corporation shall send a written notice to each holder of Series B Preferred Stock and each holder of Series C Preferred Stock no later than the 90th day after the Deemed Liquidation Event advising such holders of their right (and the requirements to be met to secure such right) pursuant to the terms of the following clause (ii) to require the redemption of such shares of Series B Preferred Stock and such shares of Series C Preferred Stock, and (ii) if both the holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock (voting together as a single series) and the holders of a least a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock (voting together as a single series) so request in a written instrument delivered to the Corporation not later than 120 days after such Deemed Liquidation Event, the Corporation shall use the consideration received by the Corporation for such Deemed Liquidation Event (net of any retained liabilities associated with the assets sold or technology licensed, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Corporation) (the “Net Proceeds”), to the extent legally available therefor, on the 150th day after such Deemed Liquidation Event (the “Liquidation Redemption Date”), to redeem all outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock at a price per share equal to the Series B Liquidation Amount and to redeem all outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock at a price per share equal to the Series C Liquidation Amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a redemption pursuant to the preceding sentence, if the Available Proceeds are not sufficient to redeem all outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock at a price per share equal to the Series B Liquidation Amount and to redeem all outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock at a price per share equal to the Series C Liquidation Amount, then the Corporation shall, as soon as practicable after the Corporation has funds legally available therefor, first redeem all outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock at a price per share equal to the Series C Liquidation Amount to the fullest extent of such Available Proceeds (distributed among such holders as provided in the last sentence of subsection 2.1) and shall thereafter redeem all outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock at a price per share equal to the Series B Liquidation Amount to the fullest extent of such Available Proceeds (distributed among such holders as provided in the last sentence of subsection 2.2). The provisions of subsections 6.2 through 6.4 below shall apply, with such necessary changes in the details thereof as are necessitated by the context, to the redemption of the Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock pursuant to this subsection 2.4.2(b). Prior to the distribution or redemption provided for in this subsection 2.4.2(b), the Corporation shall not expend or dissipate the consideration received for such Deemed Liquidation Event, except to discharge expenses incurred in connection with such Deemed Liquidation Event or in the ordinary course of business.

2.4.3 Amount Deemed Paid or Distributed. The amount deemed paid or distributed to the holders of capital stock of the Corporation upon any such merger, reorganization, consolidation, sale, lease, acquisition, transfer, exclusive license, other disposition or redemption shall be the cash or the value of the property, rights or securities paid or distributed to such holders by the Corporation or the acquiring person, firm or other entity. If the amount deemed paid or distributed under this Subsection 2.4.3 is made in property other than in cash, the value of such distribution shall be the fair market value of such property, determined as follows:

 

5


(a) For securities not subject to investment letters or other similar restrictions on free marketability,

 

  (i) if traded on a securities exchange or the NASDAQ Stock Market, the value shall be deemed to be the average of the closing prices of the securities on such exchange or market over the 30-trading day period ending three trading days prior to the closing of such transaction;

 

  (ii) if actively traded over-the-counter, the value shall be deemed to be the average of the closing bid prices over the 30-trading day period ending three trading days prior to the closing of such transaction; or

 

  (iii) if there is no active public market, the value shall be the fair market value thereof, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Corporation.

(b) The method of valuation of securities subject to investment letters or other similar restrictions on free marketability (other than restrictions arising solely by virtue of a stockholder’s status as an affiliate or former affiliate) shall take into account an appropriate discount (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Corporation) from the market value as determined pursuant to clause (a) above so as to reflect the approximate fair market value thereof.

2.4.4 Allocation of Escrow or Contingent Payments. In the case of a Deemed Liquidation Event above, if any portion of the consideration payable to the stockholders of the Corporation is placed into escrow and/or is payable to the stockholders of the Corporation subject to contingencies, the Merger Agreement shall provide that (a) the portion of such consideration that is not placed in escrow and not subject to any contingencies (the “Initial Consideration”) shall be allocated among the holders of capital stock of the Corporation in accordance with Subsections 2.1, 2.2 and 2.3 above as if the Initial Consideration were the only consideration payable in connection with such Deemed Liquidation Event and (b) any additional consideration which becomes payable to the stockholders of the Corporation upon release from escrow or satisfaction of contingencies shall be allocated among the holders of capital stock of the Corporation in accordance with Subsections 2.1, and 2.2 and 2.3 above after taking into account the previous payment of the Initial Consideration as part of the same transaction.

3. Voting.

3.1 General. On any matter presented to the stockholders of the Corporation for their action or consideration at any meeting of stockholders of the Corporation (or by written consent of stockholders in lieu of meeting), each holder of outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Stock shall be entitled to cast the number of votes equal to the number of whole shares of Common Stock into which the shares of Series B Preferred Stock or Series C Preferred Stock (as applicable) held by such holder are convertible as of the record date for determining stockholders entitled to vote on such matter. Except as provided by law or by the other provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation, holders of Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock shall vote together with the holders of Common Stock as a single class. Holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall vote together as a single class as required by law or expressly set forth in this Certificate of Incorporation and shall not vote together with the holders of Common Stock, Series B Preferred Stock or Series C Preferred Stock on an as-converted to Common Stock basis on matters that are not otherwise expressly set forth in this Certificate of Incorporation.

3.2 Election of Directors. The holders of record of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock, exclusively and as a separate class, shall be entitled to elect two (2) directors of the Corporation (the “Series A Directors”), the holders of record of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock, exclusively and as a separate class, shall be entitled to elect three (3) directors of the Corporation (the “Series B Directors”), the holders of record of the shares of Series C Preferred Stock, exclusively and as a separate class, shall be entitled to elect one (1) director of the Corporation (the “Series C Director”) and the holders of record of the shares of Common Stock, exclusively and as a separate class, shall be entitled to elect one (1) director of the Corporation (the “Common Director”). Any director elected as provided in the preceding sentence may be removed without cause by, and only by, the affirmative vote of the holders of the shares of the class or series of capital stock entitled to elect such director or directors, given either at a special meeting of such stockholders duly called for that purpose or pursuant to a written consent of stockholders. The holders of record of the shares of Common Stock and of any other class or series of voting stock (including the Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock), voting together as a single class, shall be entitled to elect the balance of the total number of directors of the Corporation. At any meeting held for the purpose of electing a director, the presence in person or by proxy of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the class or series entitled to elect such director shall constitute a quorum for the purpose of electing such director. A vacancy in any directorship filled by the holders of any class or series may be filled by vote or written consent in lieu of a meeting of the holders of such class or series or by any remaining director or directors elected by the holders of such class or series pursuant to this Subsection 3.2.

3.3 Series A Preferred Stock Protective Provisions. At any time prior to a Liquidity Event (as defined below) and so long as any shares of Series A Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Corporation shall not, either directly or indirectly by amendment, merger, consolidation or otherwise, do any of the following without (in addition to any other vote required by law or the Certificate of Incorporation) the written consent or affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, given in writing or by vote at a meeting, consenting or voting (as the case may be) separately as a class:

(a) Issue or sell, or agree to issue or sell, in a transaction or series of related transactions, equity securities of the Corporation in a bona fide private financing transaction of the Corporation, including any strategic financing transaction, or to an affiliate of the Corporation or the parent entity of the Corporation or in a private financing transaction that is not bona fide;

(b) Sell, or agree to sell, shares of Common Stock to the public in a public offering, unless such offering is a Qualified IPO;

(c) Take any action that results in the purchase, repurchase, redemption, retirement or other acquisition for value by the Corporation of any Common Stock, other than (i) acquisitions of Common Stock by the Corporation pursuant to agreements with employees, advisors, consultants or service providers that permit the Corporation to repurchase such shares upon termination of services to the Corporation or (ii) acquisitions of Common Stock by the Corporation upon the exercise of the Corporation’s right of first refusal upon a proposed transfer;

(d) Increase or decrease (other than by conversion as provided in the Certificate of Incorporation) the aggregate number of authorized shares of Series A Preferred Stock; or

(e) Amend the Certificate of Incorporation in any manner that adversely affects the rights, preferences, powers or privileges of the Series A Preferred Stock.

 

7


For purposes of this Section 3.3, a “Liquidity Event” shall mean (i) a Deemed Liquidation Event in which the acquiring or merging entity is a third party unaffiliated with the Corporation or the parent entity of the Corporation, or (ii) a Qualified IPO (as defined below).

3.4 Series C Preferred Stock Protective Provisions. At any time prior to a Liquidity Event (as defined above) and so long as any shares of Series C Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Corporation shall not, either directly or indirectly by amendment, merger, consolidation or otherwise, do any of the following without (in addition to any other vote required by law or the Certificate of Incorporation) the written consent or affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock, given in writing or by vote at a meeting, consenting or voting (as the case may be) separately as a class:

(a) Take any action that results in the purchase, repurchase, redemption, retirement or other acquisition for value by the Corporation of any Common Stock, other than (i) acquisitions of Common Stock by the Corporation pursuant to agreements with employees, advisors, consultants or service providers that permit the Corporation to repurchase such shares upon termination of services to the Corporation, (ii) acquisitions of Common Stock by the Corporation upon the exercise of the Corporation’s right of first refusal upon a proposed transfer or (iii) as approved by the Corporation’s Board of Directors;

(b) Increase or decrease (other than by conversion as provided in the Certificate of Incorporation) the aggregate number of authorized shares of Series C Preferred Stock;

(c) Authorize or issue (by reclassification or otherwise) any capital stock of the Corporation having rights, preferences or privileges senior to or on a parity with the Series C Preferred Stock with respect to dividend rights, conversion rights, liquidation rights, redemption rights, voting rights or any other rights;

(d) Amend the Certificate of Incorporation in any manner that materially and adversely affects the rights, preferences, powers or privileges of the Series C Preferred Stock; or

(e) Increase or decrease the authorized number of directors constituting the Corporation’s Board of Directors.

4. Optional Conversion.

The holders of the Preferred Stock shall have conversion rights as follows (the “Conversion Rights”):

4.1 Right to Convert.

4.1.1 Conversion Ratio. Except as otherwise provided in Subsection 5.1, each share of Series A Preferred Stock (i) upon the liquidation, dissolution and winding up of the Corporation, (ii) upon a Deemed Liquidation Event, or (iii) upon a Qualified IPO (as defined below) shall automatically be converted, without the payment of additional consideration by the holder thereof, into 1.680096462 fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock (the “Series A Conversion Rate”). Each share of Series B Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time and from time to time, and without the payment of additional consideration by the holder thereof, into 1.000042304 fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock (the “Series B Conversion Rate”). Each share of Series C Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time

 

8


and from time to time, and without the payment of additional consideration by the holder thereof, into one (1) fully paid and nonassessable share of Common Stock (the “Series C Conversion Rate”). Such initial Series A Conversion Rate, Series B Conversion Rate and Series C Conversion Rate shall be subject to adjustment as provided below.

4.1.2 Termination of Conversion Rights. In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation or a Deemed Liquidation Event, the Conversion Rights shall terminate at the close of business on the last full day preceding the date fixed for the payment of any such amounts distributable on such event to the holders of Preferred Stock.

4.2 Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of the Preferred Stock. In lieu of any fractional shares to which the holder would otherwise be entitled, the Corporation shall pay cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the fair market value of a share of Common Stock as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Corporation. Whether or not fractional shares would be issuable upon such conversion shall be determined on the basis of the total number of shares of Preferred Stock the holder is at the time converting into Common Stock and the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion.

4.3 Mechanics of Conversion.

4.3.1 Notice of Conversion. In order for a holder of Preferred Stock to convert shares of Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock, such holder shall surrender the certificate or certificates for such shares of Preferred Stock (or, if such registered holder alleges that such certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed, a lost certificate affidavit and agreement reasonably acceptable to the Corporation to indemnify the Corporation against any claim that may be made against the Corporation on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of such certificate), at the office of the transfer agent for the Preferred Stock (or at the principal office of the Corporation if the Corporation serves as its own transfer agent), together with written notice that such holder is converting all or any number of the shares of the Preferred Stock represented by such certificate or certificates and, if applicable, any event on which such conversion is contingent. Such notice shall state such holder’s name or the names of the nominees in which such holder wishes the certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock to be issued. If required by the Corporation, certificates surrendered for conversion shall be endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Corporation, duly executed by the registered holder or his, her or its attorney duly authorized in writing. The close of business on the date of receipt by the transfer agent (or by the Corporation if the Corporation serves as its own transfer agent) of such certificates (or lost certificate affidavit and agreement) and notice shall be the time of conversion (the “Conversion Time”), and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the shares represented by such certificate shall be deemed to be outstanding of record as of such date. The Corporation shall, as soon as practicable after the Conversion Time, issue and deliver to such holder of Preferred Stock, or to his, her or its nominees, a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion in accordance with the provisions hereof, a certificate for the number (if any) of the shares of Preferred Stock represented by the surrendered certificate that were not converted into Common Stock, and cash as provided in Subsection 4.2 in lieu of any fraction of a share of Common Stock otherwise issuable upon such conversion and payment of any declared but unpaid dividends on the shares of Preferred Stock converted.

4.3.2 Reservation of Shares. The Corporation shall at all times when the Preferred Stock shall be outstanding, reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued capital stock, for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Preferred Stock, such number of its duly authorized shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding Preferred Stock; and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common

 

9


Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all then outstanding shares of the Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall take such corporate action as may be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes, including, without limitation, engaging in best efforts to obtain the requisite stockholder approval of any necessary amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation.

4.3.3 Effect of Conversion. All shares of Preferred Stock which shall have been surrendered for conversion as herein provided shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding and all rights with respect to such shares shall immediately cease and terminate at the Conversion Time, except only the right of the holders thereof to receive shares of Common Stock in exchange therefor and to receive payment of any dividends declared but unpaid thereon. Any shares of Preferred Stock so converted shall be retired and cancelled and may not be reissued as shares of such series, and the Corporation may thereafter take such appropriate action (without the need for stockholder action) as may be necessary to reduce the authorized number of shares of Preferred Stock accordingly.

4.3.4 No Further Adjustment. Upon any such conversion, no adjustment to the Series A Conversion Rate, Series B Conversion Rate or Series C Conversion Rate, as applicable, shall be made for any declared but unpaid dividends on the Preferred Stock surrendered for conversion or on the Common Stock delivered upon conversion.

4.3.5 Taxes. The Corporation shall pay any and all issue and other similar taxes that may be payable in respect of any issuance or delivery of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of shares of Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 4. The Corporation shall not, however, be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of shares of Common Stock in a name other than that in which the shares of Preferred Stock so converted were registered, and no such issuance or delivery shall be made unless and until the person or entity requesting such issuance has paid to the Corporation the amount of any such tax or has established, to the satisfaction of the Corporation, that such tax has been paid.

4.4 Adjustments to Series C Conversion Price for Diluting Issues.

4.4.1 Special Definitions. For purposes of this Article Fourth, the following definitions shall apply:

(a) “First Carveout Limit” shall mean an aggregate of 1,640,000 shares issued under subsections 4.4.1(d)(iii), (v), (vi) and (viii); such number of shares is to be (A) calculated net of any repurchases of such shares by the Company, (B) calculated net of any such expired or terminated options, warrants or rights and (C) proportionally adjusted to reflect any stock dividend, stock split, combination or other similar recapitalization with respect to the Common Stock.

(b) “Second Carveout Limit” shall mean an aggregate of 8,200,000 shares issued under subsection 4.4.1(d)(vii); such number of shares is to be proportionally adjusted to reflect any stock dividend, stock split, combination or other similar recapitalization with respect to the Common Stock.

(c) “Option” shall mean rights, options or warrants to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire Common Stock or Convertible Securities.

(d) “Series C Original Issue Date” shall mean the date on which the first share of Series C Preferred Stock was issued.

 

10


(e) “Convertible Securities” shall mean any evidences of indebtedness, shares or other securities directly or indirectly convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock, but excluding Options.

(f) “Additional Shares of Common Stock” shall mean all shares of Common Stock issued (or, pursuant to Subsection 4.4.3 below, deemed to be issued) by the Corporation after the Series C Original Issue Date, other than (1) the following shares of Common Stock and (2) shares of Common Stock deemed issued pursuant to the following Options and Convertible Securities (clauses (1) and (2), collectively, “Exempted Securities”):

 

  (i) shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities issued as a dividend or distribution on Series C Preferred Stock;

  (viii) Up to the First Carveout Limit, shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities issued in connection with sponsored research, collaboration, technology license, development, OEM, marketing or other similar agreements or strategic partnerships approved by the Board of Directors of the Corporation.

4.4.2 No Adjustment of Series C Conversion Price. No adjustment in the Series C Conversion Price shall be made as the result of the issuance or deemed issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock if the Corporation receives written notice from the holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock agreeing that no such adjustment shall be made as the result of the issuance or deemed issuance of such Additional Shares of Common Stock.

4.4.3 Deemed Issue of Additional Shares of Common Stock.

(a) If the Corporation at any time or from time to time after the Series C Original Issue Date shall issue any Options or Convertible Securities (excluding Options or Convertible Securities which are themselves Exempted Securities) or shall fix a record date for the determination of holders of any class of securities entitled to receive any such Options or Convertible Securities, then the maximum number of shares of Common Stock (as set forth in the instrument relating thereto, assuming the satisfaction of any conditions to exercisability, convertibility or exchangeability but without regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such number) issuable upon the exercise of such Options or, in the case of Convertible Securities and Options therefor, the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, shall be deemed to be Additional Shares of Common Stock issued as of the time of such issue or, in case such a record date shall have been fixed, as of the close of business on such record date.

(b) If the terms of any Option or Convertible Security, the issuance of which resulted in an adjustment to the Series C Conversion Price pursuant to the terms of Subsection 4.4.4, are revised as a result of an amendment to such terms or any other adjustment pursuant to the provisions of such Option or Convertible Security (but excluding automatic adjustments to such terms pursuant to anti-dilution or similar provisions of such Option or Convertible Security) to provide for either (1) any increase or decrease in the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise, conversion and/or exchange of any such Option or Convertible Security or (2) any increase or decrease in the consideration payable to the Corporation upon such exercise, conversion and/or exchange, then, effective upon such increase or decrease becoming effective, the Series C Conversion Price computed upon the original issue of such Option or Convertible Security (or upon the occurrence of a record date with respect thereto) shall be readjusted to such Series C Conversion Price as would have obtained had such revised terms been in effect upon the original date of issuance of such Option or Convertible Security. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no readjustment pursuant to this clause (b) shall have the effect of increasing the Series C Conversion Price to an amount which exceeds the lower of (i) the Series C Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the original adjustment made as a result of the issuance of such Option or Convertible Security, or (ii) the Series C Conversion Price that would have resulted from any issuances of Additional Shares of Common Stock (other than deemed issuances of Additional Shares

 

12


of Common Stock as a result of the issuance of such Option or Convertible Security) between the original adjustment date and such readjustment date.

(c) If the terms of any Option or Convertible Security (excluding Options or Convertible Securities which are themselves Exempted Securities), the issuance of which did not result in an adjustment to the Series C Conversion Price pursuant to the terms of Subsection 4.4.4 (either because the consideration per share (determined pursuant to Subsection 4.4.5) of the Additional Shares of Common Stock subject thereto was equal to or greater than the Series C Conversion Price then in effect, or because such Option or Convertible Security was issued before the Series C Original Issue Date), are revised after the Series C Original Issue Date as a result of an amendment to such terms or any other adjustment pursuant to the provisions of such Option or Convertible Security (but excluding automatic adjustments to such terms pursuant to anti-dilution or similar provisions of such Option or Convertible Security) to provide for either (1) any increase in the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of any such Option or Convertible Security or (2) any decrease in the consideration payable to the Corporation upon such exercise, conversion or exchange, then such Option or Convertible Security, as so amended or adjusted, and the Additional Shares of Common Stock subject thereto (determined in the manner provided in Subsection 4.4.3(a)) shall be deemed to have been issued effective upon such increase or decrease becoming effective.

(d) Upon the expiration or termination of any unexercised Option or unconverted or unexchanged Convertible Security (or portion thereof) which resulted (either upon its original issuance or upon a revision of its terms) in an adjustment to the Series C Conversion Price pursuant to the terms of Subsection 4.4.4, the Series C Conversion Price shall be readjusted to such Series C Conversion Price as would have obtained had such Option or Convertible Security (or portion thereof) never been issued.

(e) If the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise, conversion and/or exchange of any Option or Convertible Security, or the consideration payable to the Corporation upon such exercise, conversion and/or exchange, is calculable at the time such Option or Convertible Security is issued or amended but is subject to adjustment based upon subsequent events, any adjustment to the Series C Conversion Price provided for in this Subsection 4.4.3 shall be effected at the time of such issuance or amendment based on such number of shares or amount of consideration without regard to any provisions for subsequent adjustments (and any subsequent adjustments shall be treated as provided in clauses (b) and (c) of this Subsection 4.4.3). If the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise, conversion and/or exchange of any Option or Convertible Security, or the consideration payable to the Corporation upon such exercise, conversion and/or exchange, cannot be calculated at all at the time such Option or Convertible Security is issued or amended, any adjustment to the Series C Conversion Price that would result under the terms of this Subsection 4.4.3 at the time of such issuance or amendment shall instead be effected at the time such number of shares and/or amount of consideration is first calculable (even if subject to subsequent adjustments), assuming for purposes of calculating such adjustment to the Series C Conversion Price that such issuance or amendment took place at the time such calculation can first be made.

4.4.4 Adjustment of Series C Conversion Price Upon Issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock. In the event the Corporation shall at any time after the Series C Original Issue Date issue Additional Shares of Common Stock (including Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued pursuant to Subsection 4.4.3), without consideration or for a consideration per share less than the Series C Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issue, then the Series C Conversion Price shall be reduced, concurrently with such issue, to a price (calculated to the nearest one-hundredth of a cent) determined in accordance with the following formula:

 

13


CP2 = CP1* (A + B) ÷ (A + C).

For purposes of the foregoing formula, the following definitions shall apply:

(a) “CP2” shall mean the Series C Conversion Price in effect immediately after such issue of Additional Shares of Common Stock

(b) “CP1” shall mean the Series C Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issue of Additional Shares of Common Stock;

(c) “A” shall mean the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue of Additional Shares of Common Stock (treating for this purpose as outstanding all shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of Options outstanding immediately prior to such issue or upon conversion or exchange of Convertible Securities (including the Series C Preferred Stock) outstanding (assuming exercise of any outstanding Options therefor) immediately prior to such issue);

(d) “B” shall mean the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued if such Additional Shares of Common Stock had been issued at a price per share equal to CP1 (determined by dividing the aggregate consideration received by the Corporation in respect of such issue by CP1); and

(e) “C” shall mean the number of such Additional Shares of Common Stock issued in such transaction.

4.4.5 Determination of Consideration. For purposes of this Subsection 4.4, the consideration received by the Corporation for the issue of any Additional Shares of Common Stock shall be computed as follows:

(a) Cash and Property: Such consideration shall:

 

  (i) insofar as it consists of cash, be computed at the aggregate amount of cash received by the Corporation, excluding amounts paid or payable for accrued interest;

 

  (ii) insofar as it consists of property other than cash, be computed at the fair market value thereof at the time of such issue, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Corporation; and

 

  (iii) in the event Additional Shares of Common Stock are issued together with other shares or securities or other assets of the Corporation for consideration which covers both, be the proportion of such consideration so received, computed as provided in clauses (i) and (ii) above, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Corporation.

(b) Options and Convertible Securities. The consideration per share received by the Corporation for Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued

 

14


pursuant to Subsection 4.4.3, relating to Options and Convertible Securities, shall be determined by dividing

 

  (i) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Corporation as consideration for the issue of such Options or Convertible Securities, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration (as set forth in the instruments relating thereto, without regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such consideration) payable to the Corporation upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, or in the case of Options for Convertible Securities, the exercise of such Options for Convertible Securities and the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, by

 

  (ii) the maximum number of shares of Common Stock (as set forth in the instruments relating thereto, without regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such number) issuable upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, or in the case of Options for Convertible Securities, the exercise of such Options for Convertible Securities and the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities.

4.4.6 Multiple Closing Dates. In the event the Corporation shall issue on more than one date Additional Shares of Common Stock that are a part of one transaction or a series of related transactions and that would result in an adjustment to the Series C Conversion Price pursuant to the terms of Subsection 4.4.4 then, upon the final such issuance, the Series C Conversion Price shall be readjusted to give effect to all such issuances as if they occurred on the date of the first such issuance (and without giving effect to any additional adjustments as a result of any such subsequent issuances within such period).

4.5 Adjustment for Stock Splits and Combinations. If the Corporation shall at any time or from time to time after the filing of this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the “Filing Date”) effect a subdivision of the outstanding Common Stock, the then current Series A Conversion Rate, Series B Conversion Rate and Series C Conversion Rate, as applicable, in effect immediately before that subdivision shall be proportionately increased. If the Corporation shall at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Series A Conversion Rate, Series B Conversion Rate or Series C Conversion Rate, as applicable, in effect immediately before the combination shall be proportionately decreased. Any adjustment under this subsection shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective.

4.6 Adjustment for Certain Dividends and Distributions. In the event the Corporation at any time or from time to time after the Filing Date shall make or issue, or fix a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable on the Common Stock in additional shares of Common Stock or other securities or rights (hereinafter referred to as “Common Stock Equivalents”) without payment of any consideration by such

 

15


holder for the additional shares of Common Stock or the Common Stock Equivalents (including the additional shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exercise thereof), then and in each such event the maximum number of shares (as a subsequent adjustment of such number) of Common Stock issuable in payment of such dividends or distribution or upon conversion or exercise of such Common Stock Equivalents shall be deemed to be issued and outstanding as of the time of such issuance or, in the event such a record date shall have been fixed, as of the close of business on such record date. In addition, in each such event the Series A Conversion Rate, Series B Conversion Rate or Series C Conversion Rate, as applicable, in effect immediately before such event shall be increased as of the time of such issuance or, in the event such a record date shall have been fixed, as of the close of business on such record date, by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock then issuable upon conversion of each share of Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock or Series C Preferred Stock, as applicable, by a fraction:

 

  (1) the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately or deemed to be issued and outstanding 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 or upon conversion or exercise of such Common Stock Equivalents; and

 

  (2) the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding or deemed to be 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.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) if such record date shall have been fixed and such dividend is not fully paid or if such distribution is not fully made on the date fixed therefor, the Series A Conversion Rate, Series B Conversion Rate or Series C Conversion Rate, as applicable, shall be recomputed accordingly as of the close of business on such record date and thereafter the Series A Conversion Rate, Series B Conversion Rate or Series C Conversion Rate, as applicable, shall be adjusted pursuant to this subsection as of the time of actual payment of such dividends or distributions; and (b) that no such adjustment shall be made if the holders of Preferred Stock simultaneously receive a dividend or other distribution of shares of Common Stock in a number equal to the number of shares of Common Stock as they would have received if all outstanding shares of Preferred Stock had been converted into Common Stock on the date of such event.

4.7 Adjustments for Other Dividends and Distributions. In the event the Corporation at any time or from time to time after the Filing Date shall make or issue, or fix 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 a distribution of shares of Common Stock in respect of outstanding shares of Common Stock) or in other property and the provisions of Section 1 do not apply to such dividend or distribution, then and in each such event the holders of Preferred Stock shall receive, simultaneously with the distribution to the holders of Common Stock, a dividend or other distribution of such securities or other property in an amount equal to the amount of such securities or other property as they would have received if all outstanding shares of Preferred Stock had been converted into Common Stock on the date of such event.

 

16


4.8 Adjustment for Merger or Reorganization, etc. Subject to the provisions of Subsection 2.3, if there shall occur any reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, consolidation or merger (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value, or as the result of subdivision, combination, stock distribution or stock dividend) involving the Corporation in which the Common Stock (but not the Preferred Stock) is converted into or exchanged for securities, cash or other property (other than a transaction covered by Subsections 4.6, or 4.7), then, following any such reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, consolidation or merger, each share of Preferred Stock shall thereafter be convertible in lieu of the Common Stock into which it was convertible prior to such event into the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock of the Corporation issuable upon conversion of one share of Preferred Stock immediately prior to such reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, consolidation or merger would have been entitled to receive pursuant to such transaction; and, in such case, appropriate adjustment (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Corporation) shall be made in the application of the provisions in this Section 4 with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the holders of the Preferred Stock, to the end that the provisions set forth in this Section 4 (including provisions with respect to changes in and other adjustments of the Series A Conversion Rate, Series B Conversion Rate or Series C Conversion Rate, as applicable) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as reasonably may be, in relation to any securities or other property thereafter deliverable upon the conversion of the Preferred Stock.

4.9 Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Series A Conversion Rate, Series B Conversion Rate or Series C Conversion Rate, as applicable, pursuant to this Section 4, the Corporation at its expense shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable but in any event not later than 10 days thereafter, compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and furnish to each holder of Preferred Stock a certificate of the chief financial officer of the Corporation setting forth such adjustment or readjustment (including the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property into which the Preferred Stock is convertible) and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. The Corporation shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable after the written request at any time of any holder of Preferred Stock (but in any event not later than 10 days thereafter), furnish or cause to be furnished to such holder a certificate of the chief financial officer of the Corporation setting forth (i) the Series A Conversion Rate, Series B Conversion Rate or Series C Conversion Rate, as applicable, then in effect, and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other securities, cash or property which then would be received upon the conversion of Preferred Stock.

4.10 Notice of Record Date. In the event:

(a) the Corporation shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock (or other capital stock or securities at the time issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock) for the purpose of entitling or enabling them to receive any dividend or other distribution, or to receive any right to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or any other securities, or to receive any other security; or

(b) of any capital reorganization of the Corporation, any reclassification of the Common Stock of the Corporation, or any Deemed Liquidation Event; or

(c) of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Corporation,

then, and in each such case, the Corporation will send or cause to be sent to the holders of the Preferred Stock a notice specifying, as the case may be, (i) the record date for such dividend, distribution or right,

 

17


and the amount and character of such dividend, distribution or right, or (ii) the effective date on which such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding up is proposed to take place, and the time, if any is to be fixed, as of which the holders of record of Common Stock (or such other capital stock or securities at the time issuable upon the conversion of the Preferred Stock) shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock (or such other capital stock or securities) for securities or other property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up, and the amount per share and character of such exchange applicable to the Preferred Stock and the Common Stock. Such notice shall be sent at least 10 days prior to the record date or effective date for the event specified in such notice.

5. Mandatory Conversion.

5.1 Trigger Events. Upon either (a) the closing of the sale of shares of Common Stock to the public at a price of at least $3.00 per share (subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination or other similar recapitalization with respect to the Common Stock) in a firm-commitment underwritten public offering pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (a “Qualified IPO”), or (b) the date and time, or the occurrence of an event, specified by vote or written consent of the holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding shares of Preferred Stock, voting as a single class on an as-if-converted basis (the time of such closing or the date and time specified or the time of the event specified in such vote or written consent is referred to herein as the “Mandatory Conversion Time”), then (i) all outstanding shares of Preferred Stock shall automatically be converted into shares of Common Stock, at the then effective conversion rate and (ii) such shares may not be reissued by the Corporation.

5.2 Procedural Requirements. All holders of record of shares of Preferred Stock shall be sent written notice of the Mandatory Conversion Time and the place designated for mandatory conversion of all such shares of Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 5. Such notice need not be sent in advance of the occurrence of the Mandatory Conversion Time. Upon receipt of such notice, each holder of shares of Preferred Stock shall surrender his, her or its certificate or certificates for all such shares (or, if such holder alleges that such certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed, a lost certificate affidavit and agreement reasonably acceptable to the Corporation to indemnify the Corporation against any claim that may be made against the Corporation on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of such certificate) to the Corporation at the place designated in such notice, and shall thereafter receive certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock to which such holder is entitled pursuant to this Section 5. At the Mandatory Conversion Time, all outstanding shares of Preferred Stock shall be deemed to have been converted into shares of Common Stock, which shall be deemed to be outstanding of record, and all rights with respect to the Preferred Stock so converted, including the rights, if any, to receive notices and vote (other than as a holder of Common Stock), will terminate, except only the rights of the holders thereof, upon surrender of their certificate or certificates (or lost certificate affidavit and agreement) therefor, to receive the items provided for in the last sentence of this Subsection 5.2. If so required by the Corporation, certificates surrendered for conversion shall be endorsed or accompanied by written instrument or instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Corporation, duly executed by the registered holder or by his, her or its attorney duly authorized in writing. As soon as practicable after the Mandatory Conversion Time and the surrender of the certificate or certificates (or lost certificate affidavit and agreement) for Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall issue and deliver to such holder, or to his, her or its nominees, a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable on such conversion in accordance with the provisions hereof, together with cash as provided in Subsection 4.2 in lieu of any fraction of a share of Common Stock otherwise issuable upon such conversion and the payment of any declared but unpaid dividends on the shares of Preferred Stock converted.

 

18


5.3 Effect of Mandatory Conversion. All shares of Preferred Stock shall, from and after the Mandatory Conversion Time, no longer be deemed to be outstanding and, notwithstanding the failure of the holder or holders thereof to surrender the certificates for such shares on or prior to such time, all rights with respect to such shares shall immediately cease and terminate at the Mandatory Conversion Time, except only the right of the holders thereof to receive shares of Common Stock in exchange therefor and to receive payment of any dividends declared but unpaid thereon. Such converted Preferred Stock shall be retired and cancelled and may not be reissued as shares of such series, and the Corporation may thereafter take such appropriate action (without the need for stockholder action) as may be necessary to reduce the authorized number of shares of Preferred Stock accordingly.

6. Redemption.

6.1 The Preferred Stock is not be redeemable, except in accordance with the Deemed Liquidation provisions of Subsection 2.4.2.

6.2 Redemption Notice. Promptly following receipt of a written request of the holders of at least a majority of the Series B Preferred Stock and the holders of at least a majority of Series C Preferred Stock (each voting as a separate series on an as-if-converted basis) pursuant to Section 2.4.2, the Corporation shall deliver written notice of the redemption (the “Redemption Notice”) to each holder of record of Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock. The Redemption Notice shall state:

(a) the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock held by such holder that the Corporation shall redeem on the Liquidation Redemption Date specified in the Redemption Notice;

(b) the Liquidation Redemption Date;

(c) the date upon which such holder’s right to convert such shares terminates (as determined in accordance with Subsection 4.1); and

(d) that such holder is to surrender to the Corporation, in the manner and at the place designated, his, her or its certificate or certificates representing the shares of Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock to be redeemed.

6.3 Surrender of Certificates; Payment. On or before the Liquidation Redemption Date, each holder of shares of Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock to be redeemed on such Liquidation Redemption Date, unless such holder has exercised his, her or its right to convert such shares as provided in Section 4, shall surrender the certificate or certificates representing such shares (or, if such registered holder alleges that such certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed, a lost certificate affidavit and agreement reasonably acceptable to the Corporation to indemnify the Corporation against any claim that may be made against the Corporation on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of such certificate) to the Corporation, in the manner and at the place designated in the Redemption Notice, and thereupon the Series B Liquidation Amount and the Series C Liquidation Amount, as applicable, for such shares shall be payable to the order of the person whose name appears on such certificate or certificates as the owner thereof. In the event less than all of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock represented by a certificate are redeemed, a new certificate representing the unredeemed shares of Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock, as applicable, shall promptly be issued to such holder.

 

19


6.4 Rights Subsequent to Redemption. If the Redemption Notice shall have been duly given, and if on the Liquidation Redemption Date the applicable Liquidation Amount payable upon redemption of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock to be redeemed on such Liquidation Redemption Date is paid or tendered for payment or deposited with an independent payment agent so as to be available therefor, then notwithstanding that the certificates evidencing any of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock so called for redemption shall not have been surrendered, dividends with respect to such shares of Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock shall cease to accrue after such Liquidation Redemption Date and all rights with respect to such shares shall forthwith after the Liquidation Redemption Date terminate, except only the right of the holders to receive the Series B Liquidation Amount and the Series C Liquidation Amount, as applicable, without interest upon surrender of their certificate or certificates therefor.

7. Redeemed or Otherwise Acquired Shares. Any shares of Preferred Stock which are redeemed or otherwise acquired by the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries shall be automatically and immediately cancelled and retired and shall not be reissued, sold or transferred. Neither the Corporation nor any of its subsidiaries may exercise any voting or other rights granted to the holders of Preferred Stock following redemption.

8. Waiver. Any of the rights, powers, preferences and other terms of the Preferred Stock set forth herein may be waived on behalf of all holders of Preferred Stock by the affirmative written consent or vote of the holders of at least a majority of the shares of Preferred Stock then outstanding.

9. Notices. Any notice required or permitted by the provisions of this Article Fourth to be given to a holder of shares of Preferred Stock shall be mailed, postage prepaid, to the post office address last shown on the records of the Corporation, or given by electronic communication in compliance with the provisions of the General Corporation Law, and shall be deemed sent upon such mailing or electronic transmission.

FIFTH: Subject to any additional vote required by the Certificate of Incorporation, in furtherance and not in limitation of the powers conferred by statute, the Board of Directors is expressly authorized to make, repeal, alter, amend and rescind any or all of the Bylaws of the Corporation.

SIXTH: Subject to any additional vote required by the Certificate of Incorporation, the number of directors of the Corporation shall be determined in the manner set forth in the Bylaws of the Corporation.

SEVENTH: Elections of directors need not be by written ballot unless the Bylaws of the Corporation shall so provide.

EIGHTH: Meetings of stockholders may be held within or without the State of Delaware, as the Bylaws of the Corporation may provide. The books of the Corporation may be kept outside the State of Delaware at such place or places as may be designated from time to time by the Board of Directors or in the Bylaws of the Corporation.

NINTH: To the fullest extent permitted by law, a director of the Corporation shall not be personally liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director. If the General Corporation Law or any other law of the State of Delaware is amended after approval by the stockholders of this Article Ninth to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors, then the liability of a director of the Corporation shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the General Corporation Law as so amended.

 

20


Any repeal or modification of the foregoing provisions of this Article Ninth by the stockholders of the Corporation shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a director of the Corporation existing at the time of, or increase the liability of any director of the Corporation with respect to any acts or omissions of such director occurring prior to, such repeal or modification.

TENTH: The following indemnification provisions shall apply to the persons enumerated below.

1. Right to Indemnification of Directors and Officers. The Corporation shall indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law as it presently exists or may hereafter be amended, any person (an “Indemnified Person”) who was or is made or is threatened to be made a party or is otherwise involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (a “Proceeding”), by reason of the fact that such person, or a person for whom such person is the legal representative, is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or, while a director or officer of the Corporation, is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another Corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, limited liability company, trust, enterprise or nonprofit entity, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, against all liability and loss suffered and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Person in such Proceeding. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, except as otherwise provided in Section 3 of this Article Tenth, the Corporation shall be required to indemnify an Indemnified Person in connection with a Proceeding (or part thereof) commenced by such Indemnified Person only if the commencement of such Proceeding (or part thereof) by the Indemnified Person was authorized in advance by the Board of Directors.

2. Prepayment of Expenses of Directors and Officers. The Corporation shall pay the expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by an Indemnified Person in defending any Proceeding in advance of its final disposition, provided, however, that, to the extent required by law, such payment of expenses in advance of the final disposition of the Proceeding shall be made only upon receipt of an undertaking by the Indemnified Person to repay all amounts advanced if it should be ultimately determined that the Indemnified Person is not entitled to be indemnified under this Article Tenth or otherwise.

3. Claims by Directors and Officers. If a claim for indemnification or advancement of expenses under this Article Tenth is not paid in full within 30 days after a written claim therefor by the Indemnified Person has been received by the Corporation, the Indemnified Person may file suit to recover the unpaid amount of such claim and, if successful in whole or in part, shall be entitled to be paid the expense of prosecuting such claim. In any such action the Corporation shall have the burden of proving that the Indemnified Person is not entitled to the requested indemnification or advancement of expenses under applicable law.

4. Indemnification of Employees and Agents. The Corporation may indemnify and advance expenses to any person who was or is made or is threatened to be made or is otherwise involved in any Proceeding by reason of the fact that such person, or a person for whom such person is the legal representative, is or was an employee or agent of the Corporation or, while an employee or agent of the Corporation, is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, limited liability company, trust, enterprise or nonprofit entity, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, against all liability and loss suffered and expenses (including attorney’s fees) reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such Proceeding. The ultimate determination of entitlement to indemnification of persons who are non-director or officer employees or agents shall be made in such manner as is determined by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the Corporation shall not be

 

21


required to indemnify a person in connection with a Proceeding initiated by such person if the Proceeding was not authorized in advance by the Board of Directors.

5. Advancement of Expenses of Employees and Agents. The Corporation may pay the expenses (including attorney’s fees) incurred by an employee or agent in defending any Proceeding in advance of its final disposition on such terms and conditions as may be determined by the Board of Directors.

6. Non-Exclusivity of Rights. The rights conferred on any person by this Article Tenth shall not be exclusive of any other rights which such person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the certificate of incorporation, these by-laws, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.

7. Other Indemnification. The Corporation’s obligation, if any, to indemnify any person who was or is serving at its request as a director, officer or employee of another Corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust, organization or other enterprise shall be reduced by any amount such person may collect as indemnification from such other Corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust, organization or other enterprise.

8. Insurance. The Board of Directors may, to the full extent permitted by applicable law as it presently exists, or may hereafter be amended from time to time, authorize an appropriate officer or officers to purchase and maintain at the Corporation’s expense insurance: (a) to indemnify the Corporation for any obligation which it incurs as a result of the indemnification of directors, officers and employees under the provisions of this Article Tenth; and (b) to indemnify or insure directors, officers and employees against liability in instances in which they may not otherwise be indemnified by the Corporation under the provisions of this Article Tenth.

9. Amendment or Repeal. Any repeal or modification of the foregoing provisions of this Article Tenth shall not adversely affect any right or protection hereunder of any person in respect of any act or omission occurring prior to the time of such repeal or modification. The rights provided hereunder shall inure to the benefit of any Indemnified Person and such person’s heirs, executors and administrators.

ELEVENTH: The Corporation renounces any interest or expectancy of the Corporation in, or in being offered an opportunity to participate in, any Excluded Opportunity. An “Excluded Opportunity” is any matter, transaction or interest that is presented to, or acquired, created or developed by, or which otherwise comes into the possession of, (i) any director of the Corporation who is not an employee of the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries, or (ii) any holder of Series A Preferred Stock or Series B Preferred Stock or any partner, member, director, stockholder, employee or agent of any such holder, other than someone who is an employee of the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries (collectively, “Covered Persons”), unless such matter, transaction or interest is presented to, or acquired, created or developed by, or otherwise comes into the possession of, a Covered Person expressly and solely in such Covered Person’s capacity as a director of the Corporation.

The Company, the Key Holders and the Investor are individually referred to herein as “Party” and are collectively referred to herein as the “Parties.” Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning so ascribed in the Merger Agreement.

RECITALS

WHEREAS, the Company, Arrowhead Research Corporation (“Arrowhead”) and certain Key Holders are parties to an Amended and Restated Voting Agreement dated as of April 20, 2007 (the “Prior Agreement”);

WHEREAS, certain new investors (the “Series C Investors”) have agreed to purchase shares of the Company’s Series C Preferred Stock (the “Series C Stock”) pursuant to a certain Series C Preferred Stock Subscription Agreement between the Company and each such Series C Investor dated of even date herewith or hereafter (each a “Series C Agreement”), and the Series C Agreement provides that, as a condition to the Series C Investor’s purchase of Series C Stock thereunder, the Company will enter into this Agreement and the Series C Investor will be granted the rights set forth herein;

WHEREAS, the Company and the parties to the Prior Agreement desire to enter into this Agreement in order to amend, restate and replace their rights and obligations under the Prior Agreement with the rights and obligations set forth in this Agreement, and Section 5.6 of the Prior Agreement provides that the Prior Agreement may be amended by the written consent of (i) the Key Holders holding greater than fifty percent (50%) of the Series A Preferred Stock and fifty percent (50%) of the Shares then held by all of the Key Holders and (ii) the holders of greater than fifty percent (50%) of the Shares then held by the Investors (voting as a single class);

WHEREAS, the undersigned Key Holders to this Agreement hold a majority of the Series A Preferred Stock and a majority of the Shares then held by all of the Key Holders and the undersigned Investors hold a majority of the Shares then held by the Investors (voting as a single class).

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual promises and agreements contained herein, the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, all Parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Voting Agreement.

1.1 Board Composition. Each Stockholder agrees to vote all of his, her or its shares of voting securities in the Company, whether now owned or hereafter acquired or which such


Stockholder may be empowered to vote (together the “Shares”), from time to time and at all times, in whatever manner shall be necessary to ensure that at each annual or special meeting of stockholders at which an election of directors is held or pursuant to any written consent of the stockholders, the following persons shall be elected to the Board:

(i) Arrowhead Directors. Arrowhead shall be entitled to designate three (3) directors (the “Arrowhead Directors”), who shall initially be R. Bruce Stewart, Edward W. Frykman and Arthur L. Swift, unless any or all of them shall elect not to stand for election, or in the event of a vacancy created by the resignation, removal (in accordance with Section 1.3 below) or death of one or all of them, in which case Arrowhead may designate any qualifying person to serve in his or their place;

(ii) CNI Directors. The holders of a majority of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock, voting separately as a single class, shall be entitled to designate two (2) directors (the “CNI Directors”), who shall initially be Bob Gower and Ray McLaughlin, unless either or both of them shall elect not to stand for election, or in the event of a vacancy created by the resignation, removal (in accordance with Section 1.3 below) or death of either or both of them, in which case the holders of a majority of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock may designate any qualifying person to serve in his or their place;

(iii) Series C Director. The holders of a majority of the shares of Series C Preferred Stock, voting separately as a single class, shall be entitled to designate one (1) director (the “Series C Director”), who shall initially be Charles P. McKenney, unless he shall elect not to stand for election, or in the event of a vacancy created by his resignation, removal (in accordance with Section 1.3 below) or death, in which case the holders of a majority of the shares of Series C Preferred Stock may designate any qualifying person to serve in his place; and

(iv) Common Director. The holders of a majority of the Common Stock, voting separately as a single class, shall be entitled to designate one (1) director (the “Common Director”), who shall initially be George Gruner. If, for any reason, George Gruner shall be unable to serve on the Board, then each of the Stockholders shall promptly vote their respective Shares (i) to remove him from the Board if he has not resigned from such position and (ii) to elect the Chief Executive Officer of the Company (or, if there is no Chief Executive Officer designated, the President of the Company) as the new Common Director.

1.2 Size of the Board. Each Stockholder agrees to vote all of his, her or its Shares from time to time and at all times, in whatever manner shall be necessary to ensure that the size of the Board shall be set and remain at seven (7) directors.

1.3 Removal of Board Members. Each Stockholder also agrees to vote all of his, her or its Shares from time to time and at all times in whatever manner as shall be necessary to ensure that (i) no director elected pursuant to Section 1.1 of this Agreement may be removed from office other than for cause unless (A) such removal is directed or approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of the shares of stock entitled under Section 1.1 to designate that director or (B) the person(s) or entity(ies) originally entitled to designate or approve such director pursuant to Section 1.1 are no longer so entitled to designate or approve such director; and (ii) any vacancies created by the resignation, removal or death of a director elected pursuant to Section 1.1 shall be filled pursuant to the provisions of Section 1.1. All Stockholders agree to execute any written consents required to effectuate the obligations of this Agreement, and the Company agrees at the request of any Party entitled to designate directors to call a special meeting of stockholders for the purpose of electing directors. So long as the stockholders of the Company are entitled to cumulative voting, if less than the entire Board is to be removed, no director

 

2


may be removed without cause if the votes cast against his or her removal would be sufficient to elect such director if then cumulatively voted at an election of the entire board of directors.

1.4 Committees. The Board shall establish (a) an executive search committee, which shall be comprised of both Bruce Stewart and Raymond McLaughlin, or any Board successor to either individual (which shall be responsible for conducting a search for a chief executive officer of the Company), (b) a budget committee, which shall be comprised of both Bruce Stewart and Raymond McLaughlin, or any Board successor to either individual (which shall be responsible for reviewing and commenting on the Company’s overall budget and any specific strategic initiatives for the Company), and (c) such other committees as the Board shall deem necessary or convenient from time to time. Except to the extent otherwise required by applicable law or regulation, one (1) CNI Director and one (1) Series C Director shall be entitled to be a member of the budget committee and any compensation committee and of any audit committee that may be established by the Board.

1.5 Board Composition Before Filing of Registration Statement. Each Stockholder agrees to vote all of his, her or its Shares, in whatever manner shall be necessary to ensure that immediately prior to the filing of a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), a majority of the Board shall be independent directors, two (2) of whom shall be designated by Arrowhead and two (2) of whom shall be designated by the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock.

2. Term. This Agreement shall be effective as of the date hereof and shall continue in effect until and shall terminate (i) immediately prior to the consummation of the sale of shares of Common Stock to the public in a firm-commitment underwritten public offering pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, provided that the price per share to the public is at least $3.00 per share (subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination or other similar recapitalization with respect to the Common Stock); (ii) when the Company first becomes subject to the periodic reporting requirements of Sections 12(g) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act or (iii) upon a Deemed Liquidation Event (as defined below), whichever event shall first occur. A “Deemed Liquidation Event” shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as it may be amended from time to time.

3. Specific Enforcement. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that each Party hereto will be irreparably damaged in the event any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed by the Parties in accordance with their specific terms or are otherwise breached. Accordingly, it is agreed that each of the Company and the Stockholders shall be entitled to an injunction to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to specific enforcement of this Agreement and its terms and provisions in any action instituted in any court of the United States or any state having subject matter jurisdiction, in addition to any other remedy to which the Parties may be entitled at law or in equity. Each of the Parties to this Agreement hereby consents to personal jurisdiction in any such action brought in the United States District Court for the Central District of California or in any court of the State of California having subject matter jurisdiction.

4. CNI Intellectual Property and Technology. Until earlier of (i) April 20, 2012 and (ii) a Deemed Liquidation Event, in the event Arrowhead or a subsidiary of Arrowhead other than the Company wishes to negotiate to license intellectual property or technology that is an asset of the Company or Unidym Acquisition, LLC, such license negotiation shall be conducted on market terms and, to the extent possible, at arms-length, and any resulting license agreement shall be subject to approval by the Board; provided, however, if directors elected by the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to the terms of this Agreement constitute less than fifty percent (50%) of the Board, then a majority of the directors appointed pursuant to Sections 1.1(ii), (iii) and (iv) of this Agreement shall be

 

3


required to approve any resulting license agreement; provided, further, for the purposes of this Section 4, “subsidiary of Arrowhead” includes all entities that are subsidiaries of Arrowhead either (x) as of April 20, 2007 or (y) until the earlier of (i) April 20, 2007 or (ii) a Deemed Liquidation Event.

5.6 Amendment. This Agreement may be amended or modified and the observance of any term hereof may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively) only by a written instrument executed by (i) the Key Holders holding greater than fifty percent (50%) of the Series A Preferred Stock and fifty (50%) percent (50%) of the Shares then held by all of the Key Holders (voting together as a single class and on an as-converted basis) and (ii) the holders of greater than fifty percent (50%) of the Shares then held by the Investors (voting as a single class and on an as-converted basis). Any amendment or waiver so effected shall be binding upon the Company, the Investor, the Key Holders and all of their respective successors and permitted assigns whether or not such party, assignee or other shareholder entered into or approved such amendment or waiver. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) this Agreement may not be amended or terminated and the observance of any term of this Agreement may not be waived with respect to any Investor without the written consent of such Investor unless such amendment, termination or waiver applies to all Investor or Key Holders, as the case may be, in the same fashion, and (b) the consent of the Key Holders shall not be required for any amendment or waiver if such amendment or waiver does not apply to the Key Holders. The Company shall give prompt written notice of any amendment or termination of this Agreement or waiver hereunder to any Party that did not consent in writing to such amendment, termination or waiver. No waivers of or exceptions to any term, condition or provision of this Agreement, in any one or more instances, shall be deemed to be, or construed as, a further or continuing waiver of any such term, condition or provision. Any party may agree to waive or amend its own rights hereunder with respect to the Company or another party without the necessity of obtaining the consent or agreement of any other party.

5.7 Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision hereof shall in no way affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision.

5.8 Delays or Omissions. No delay or omission to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing to any party under this Agreement, upon any breach or default of any other party under this Agreement, shall impair any such right, power or remedy of such non-breaching or non-defaulting party nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of any such breach or default, or an acquiescence therein, or of or in any similar breach or default thereafter occurring; nor shall any waiver of any single breach or default be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default theretofore or thereafter occurring. All remedies, either under this Agreement or by law or otherwise afforded to any party, shall be cumulative and not alternative.

5.9 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including the Schedules and Exhibits hereto) and the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation as the same may be further amended after the date hereof constitute the full and entire understanding and agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and any other prior written or oral agreements, or contemporaneous oral agreements, relating to the subject matter hereof existing between the parties are expressly canceled.

The Company, by its execution in the space provided below, agrees that it will cause the certificates evidencing the shares of Common Stock and Preferred Stock to bear the legend required by Section 5.10 of this Agreement, and it shall supply, free of charge, a copy of this Agreement to any holder of a certificate evidencing shares of capital stock of the Company upon written request from such holder to the Company at its principal office. The Parties to this Agreement do hereby agree that the failure to cause the certificates evidencing the shares of Common Stock and Preferred Stock to bear the legend required by Section 5.10 herein and the failure of the Company to supply, free of charge, a copy of this Agreement as provided under this Section 5.11 shall not affect the validity or enforcement of this Agreement.

5.12 Stock Splits, Stock Dividends, etc. In the event of any issuance of any of the Company’s voting securities hereafter to any of the Stockholders (including, without limitation, in connection with any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, or the like), such voting securities shall become subject to this Agreement and deemed to be “Shares” hereunder and shall be endorsed with the legend set forth in Section 5.10.

5.13 Covenants of the Company. The Company agrees to use its best efforts to ensure that the rights granted under this Agreement are effective and that the Parties enjoy the benefits of this Agreement. Such actions include, without limitation, the use of the Company’s best efforts to cause the nomination and election of the directors as provided above. The Company will not, by any voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be performed hereunder by the Company, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all of the provisions of this Agreement and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary, appropriate or reasonably requested by the holders of a majority of the outstanding voting securities held by the Stockholders (assuming conversion of all outstanding convertible securities) in order to protect the rights of the Stockholders against impairment.

5.14 Manner of Voting; Grant of Proxy. The voting of Shares pursuant to this Agreement may be effected in person, by proxy, by written consent or in any other manner permitted by applicable law. Each Party hereby grants to the Secretary of the Company, in the event that such Party or Parties fail to vote their Shares as required by this Agreement, a proxy coupled with an interest in all Shares, whether held by an Investor or a Key Holder, beneficially owned by such Party, which proxy is irrevocable until this Agreement terminates pursuant to its terms or this Section 5.14 is amended to remove such grant of proxy in accordance with Section 5.6 of this Agreement.

5.15 Additional Investors. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if the Company issues additional shares of the Company’s Series C Preferred Stock after the date hereof pursuant to a Series C Agreement, the Company shall cause any purchaser of such shares of Series C Preferred Stock to execute a counterpart signature page hereto as an Investor, and such party shall thereby be bound by, and subject to, all the terms and provisions of this Agreement applicable to an Investor.

5.16 Costs of Enforcement. If any Party to this Agreement seeks to enforce its rights under this Agreement by legal proceedings, the non-prevailing Party shall pay all costs and expenses incurred by the prevailing Party, including, without limitation, all reasonable attorneys’ fees.

5.17 Additional Key Holders. In the event that after the date of this Agreement, the Company issues shares of capital stock to any employee, which shares constitute one

 

6


percent (1%) or more of the Company’s then outstanding capital stock (treating for this purpose all shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of or conversion of outstanding options, warrants or convertible securities, as if exercised or converted), the Company shall cause such person to execute a counterpart signature page hereto as a Key Holder, and such person shall thereby be bound by, and subject to, all the terms and provisions of this Agreement applicable to a Key Holder.

5.18 Spousal Consent. If any Key Holder is married on the date of this Agreement, such Key Holder’s spouse shall execute and deliver to the Company a consent of spouse in the form of Exhibit B hereto (“Consent of Spouse”), effective on the date hereof. Notwithstanding the execution and delivery thereof, such consent shall not be deemed to confer or convey to the spouse any rights in such Key Holder’s shares of capital stock that do not otherwise exist by operation of law or the agreement of the parties. If any Key Holder should marry or remarry subsequent to the date of this Agreement, such Key Holder shall within thirty (30) days thereafter obtain his/her new spouse’s acknowledgement of and consent to the existence and binding effect of all restrictions contained in this Agreement by causing such spouse to execute and deliver a Consent of Spouse acknowledging the restrictions and obligations contained in this Agreement and agreeing and consenting to the same.

5.19 Prior Agreement Superseded. Pursuant to Section 5.6 of the Prior Agreement, the undersigned parties who are parties to such Prior Agreement hereby amend and restate the Prior Agreement to read in its entirety as set forth in this Agreement, all with the intent and effect that the Prior Agreement shall hereby be terminated and entirely replaced and superseded by this Agreement.
