3.                                       Right of Refusal on Dispositions.

 

(a)                                  Except as set forth in Section 5 hereof, no Stockholder shall sell, assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of any Shares owned by such Stockholder to any Person unless such Stockholder shall have (i) received a bona-fide arm’s-length offer to purchase such Shares from such Person, (ii) submitted a written offer (the “Offer”) to the Company and each of the Offerees and (iii) complied with all other applicable provisions of this Section 3. Each such notice and Offer shall (1) identify the Person to which the Stockholder proposes to sell the Shares, (2) specify the material terms and conditions, including price, of the proposed sale and (3) offer first to the Company and then to the Offerees, the opportunity to purchase such Shares on terms and conditions, including price, not less favorable to the Company and the Offerees than the terms and conditions on which the Stockholder proposes to sell such Shares to any other purchaser.

 

(b)                                 The Company shall act upon the Offer as soon as practicable, in any event within 15 days after receipt thereof. In the event that the Company shall elect to purchase

 

4



 

all or any portion of the shares subject to the Offer (the “Offered Shares”), the Company shall notify in writing the Stockholder that submitted the offer of the Company’s election to purchase, which notice shall be delivered in accordance with Section 13 hereof to the Stockholder that submitted the Offer at its address set forth in Exhibit B hereto or at such other address furnished in accordance with Section 13 hereof and shall, when taken in connection with the Offer, be deemed to constitute a valid, legally binding and enforceable agreement for the sale and purchase of the Offered Shares covered thereby, subject to the provisions of Section 3(d).

 

(c)                                  If the Company does not so notify such Stockholder within 15 days after receipt of the Offer or does not elect to purchase all the Offered Shares, the Offerees shall have a second option to purchase any Offered Shares which are not purchased by the Company (the “Remaining Shares”). Each Offeree shall have the right to accept the Offer as to any number of the Remaining Shares; provided, however, that except as provided in the last sentence of this Section 3(c), such Offeree shall be entitled to purchase only up to that number of Remaining Shares as shall be equal to the aggregate number of Remaining Shares multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock then held by such Offeree (assuming the conversion and exercise by such Offeree of all securities convertible into or exercisable for Common Stock) and the denominator of which is the total number of shares of Common Stock so held or so obtainable by all the Offerees (assuming the conversion and exercise of all securities convertible into or exercisable for Common Stock) (such number as to each Offeree being referred to as such Offeree’s “Pro Rata Fraction”). Each Offeree shall have the right to transfer its right to all or any portion of its Pro Rata Fraction to any Qualified Transferee (provided that such Qualified Transferee agrees in writing to be subject to the terms hereof to the same extent as if such Qualified Transferee were an original Institutional Investor hereunder), in which case the term “Offeree” in this Section 3 shall also mean each Qualified Transferee of such Offeree as is appropriate. Each Offeree shall act upon the Offer as soon as practicable, and in any event within 15 days after receipt thereof. In the event that any Offeree shall elect to purchase all or any portion of the Remaining Shares, such Offeree shall notify in writing the Stockholder that submitted the Offer of such Offeree’s election to purchase, which notice shall be delivered in accordance with Section 13 hereof to the Stockholder that submitted the Offer at its address set forth in Exhibit B hereto or at such other address furnished in accordance with Section 13 hereof and shall, when taken in conjunction with the Offer, be deemed to constitute a valid, legally binding and enforceable agreement for the sale and purchase of the Remaining Shares covered thereby, subject to the provisions of Section 3(d) hereof, to the extent of the number of Remaining Shares, if any, allocated to such Offeree. If an Offeree does not so notify such Stockholder within 15 days after receipt of the Offer, such Offeree shall be deemed to have elected not to purchase any of the Remaining Shares. Upon the expiration of all applicable periods under this Section 3, the number of Remaining Shares to be purchased by each Offeree shall be determined as follows:

 

(i)                                     there shall first be allocated to each Offeree a number of Remaining Shares equal to the lesser of (1) the number of Remaining Shares as to

 

5



 

which such Offeree accepted the Offer or (2) such Offeree’s Pro Rata Fraction, and

 

(ii)                                  any of the Remaining Shares not purchased pursuant to  clause (i) above shall be offered for sale to those Offerees that exercised their right to purchase any of the Remaining Shares (a “Purchasing Offeree”), in each case on a pro rata basis calculated by dividing the Common Stock held by a Purchasing Offeree (assuming conversion of all Shares held by such Purchasing Offeree) by the total number of shares of Common Stock held by all of the Purchasing Offerees (assuming conversion of all Shares held by such Purchasing Offerees), or in such other manner as the Purchasing Offerees may agree among themselves.

 

(d)                                 In the event that the Offerees and the Company, individually or collectively, do not elect to purchase all the Offered Shares, the Offer shall be deemed to have been accepted as to the Offered Shares to be purchased by the Company and the Offerees and rejected as to any Offered Shares not purchased by the Company or the Offerees, and the remaining Offered Shares may be sold by the Stockholder who submitted the Offer at any time within 180 days after the expiration of the 15-day period for acceptance or rejection of the Offer; provided, however, that the purchaser of such Offered Shares shall agree in writing to abide by all of the provisions of this Agreement, except for Sections 3 through 5 hereof which shall no longer apply to such Offered Shares. Any such sale shall be to the Person originally named in the Offer as the proposed purchaser and shall not be at a price and upon other terms and conditions, if any, more favorable to such purchaser than those specified in the Offer. Any Stockholder proposing to sell any Shares after such 180-day period, or to a different purchaser, or at a lower price, or on terms and conditions more favorable to the purchaser than those specified in the Offer must first comply again with the requirements of this Section 3.

 

(e)                                  The Company shall be entitled to refuse to register the name of any transferee of Offered Shares as an owner thereof on its records if such transferee acquired such Offered Shares at a lower price or on terms more favorable to such transferee than the price paid by, or the terms offered to, the Company and the Offerees, and the Company may require a written statement from such transferee of the price which the transferee paid for the Offered Shares and the terms of the purchase.

 

4.                                       Right of Participation in Sales by Stockholders. If at any time any Stockholder (the “Selling Stockholder”) wishes to sell, or otherwise dispose of, more than five percent (5%) of the Shares owned by such Selling Stockholder to any Person, including, without limitation, the Company and each Offeree that may have elected to exercise its rights of first refusal set forth in Section 3 hereof (each such Person a “Purchaser”), in a transaction that is subject to the provisions of Section 3 hereof, each Offeree that has not elected to purchase any such Shares pursuant to Section 3 hereof shall have the right to participate pro rata in such transaction and, accordingly, shall have the right to require, as a condition to such sale or disposition, that the Purchaser purchase from such Offeree at the same price per Share and on the same terms and conditions as involved in such sale or disposition by such Selling Stockholder, a number of shares of

 

6



 

Common Stock equal to the number of Shares proposed to be sold or disposed of by the Selling Stockholder multiplied by a fraction (i) the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock owned by such Offeree (assuming the conversion and exercise by such Offeree of all securities convertible into or exerciseable for Common Stock) and (ii) the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock owned by all Offerees selling stock pursuant to this Section 4 plus the number of shares of Common Stock owned by the Selling Stockholder (in all cases assuming the conversion of and exercise of all securities convertible into or exerciseable for Common Stock). As soon as practicable after receipt of the Offer made pursuant to Section 3 hereof and in any event within 15 days after receipt of such Offer, each Offeree that (a) has not elected to purchase any of the Offered Shares pursuant to Section 3 hereof and (b) wishes to participate in any such sale or disposition shall individually notify in writing the Selling Stockholder of such Offeree’s election to participate in such sale or disposition, which notice shall be delivered in accordance with Section 13 hereof to the Selling Stockholder at its address set forth in Exhibit B hereto or at such other address furnished in accordance with Section 13 hereof.

 

5.                                       Permitted Transfers. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the provisions of Sections 3 and 4 hereof shall not apply to:

 

(a)                                  any transfer of Shares by a Stockholder by gift or bequest or through inheritance to, or for the benefit of, any member or members of such Stockholder’s Immediate Family or a transfer of Shares by a Stockholder to a trust for the benefit of any member or members of such Stockholder’s Immediate Family;

 

(b)                                 any transfer of Shares by a Stockholder to a trust in respect of which such Stockholder serves as trustee; provided, however, that the trust instrument governing such trust shall provide that such Stockholder, as trustee, shall retain sole and exclusive control over the voting and disposition of such Shares until the termination of this Agreement;

 

(c)                                  any transfer of Shares by a Stockholder to a limited partnership or limited liability company all partners or members of which are members of the Stockholder’s Immediate Family;

 

(d)                                 any transfer of Shares by a Stockholder to an Affiliate of such Stockholder;

 

(e)                                  any sale or transfer of Shares to the Company at a price that is less than or equal to the original purchase price of such Shares in connection with the termination of a Stockholder’s employment with the Company pursuant to a stock restriction agreement between the Company and such Stockholder;

 

(f)                                    any sale or transfer of Shares by a Stockholder to the Company pursuant to the Equity Plan; and

 

(g)                                 any sale of Common Stock to underwriters and/or the public in connection with a registered public offering by the Company of its securities.

 

In the event of any such transfer pursuant to clauses (a), (b), (c) or (d) of this Section 5, the transferee of the Shares shall hold the Shares so acquired with all the rights conferred by, and

 

7



 

subject to all the restrictions imposed by, this Agreement, and shall be required, as a condition of such transfer, to execute and deliver to the Institutional Investors, the Stockholders and the Company an agreement pursuant to which such transferee agrees to become party to this Agreement and to be bound by all the terms and conditions hereof.

To the extent the Chief Executive Officer of the Company shall determine that it is advisable to require a consultant engaged by the Company to execute a Proprietary Information and Inventions Agreement or another similar agreement in light of the term and subject matter of such consultant’s engagement, such consultant shall execute a Proprietary Information and Inventions Agreement or other similar agreement in favor of the Company in such form as the Chief Executive Officer shall designate.

(c)                                  The Company shall not increase the number of shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance under the Equity Plan or any similar plan without the approval of a majority of the Board of Directors (which majority must include a majority of the Preferred Directors).

The Company shall submit to the Investors and to the Internal Revenue Service any reports that may be required under Section 1202(d)(1)(c) of the Code and the Regulations promulgated thereunder. In addition, within ten (10) days after an Investor’s written request therefor, the Company shall deliver to such Investor a written statement indicating whether such Investor’s interest in the Company constitutes “qualified small business stock” as defined in Section 1202(c) of the Code. Except as otherwise permitted under this Agreement, the Company shall not make any purchases of its securities, amend its Certificate of Incorporation or By-laws, or take any other action, in any event in a manner which would jeopardize the status of the Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock, Series D Preferred Stock and the Common Stock purchased by the Institutional Investors as “qualified small business stock” under Section 1202(c) of the Code.

 

7.13.                        IPO Allocation Rights. The Company shall use its best efforts to cause the underwriters to allocate an aggregate amount equal to two percent (2%) of the total number of shares sold in the first registered public offering of securities of the Company to or as directed by each of Bessemer Venture Partners V, L.P., Battery Ventures VI, L.P., JAFCO America Ventures and MK Capital SBIC, L.P.; provided, however, that the registration statement relating to such first registered public offering is initially filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission at least twelve (12) months following the date hereof. If the initial filing occurs within twelve (12) months of the date hereof, Bessemer Venture Partners V, L.P., Battery Ventures VI, L.P., JAFCO America Ventures and MK Capital SBIC, L.P. shall each be entitled to purchase or direct the purchase of such shares in a private placement closing simultaneously with such first registered public offering, at a price per share equal to eighty percent (80%) of the final price to the public in such public offering, but otherwise on the same terms as the purchasers in the public offering (to the extent practicable).

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, all action taken pursuant to this Section 7.13 shall be made in accordance with all federal and state securities laws, including, without limitation, Rule 134 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and all applicable rules and regulations promulgated by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. and other such self-regulating organizations.

 

8.                                       Preemptive Rights.

 

(a)                                  Except as provided in Section 8(f), the Company shall not issue or sell any of its equity securities (including securities convertible into equity securities) (collectively, the “Future Shares”) to any Person without first providing each holder of Preferred Stock (each a “Holder”) the right to subscribe for its Proportionate Percentage (as defined in Section 8(d)) of such Future Shares at the same price and on the same terms (including the method of purchase; provided, however, that the Holders shall have the option of purchasing Future Shares with cash, regardless of the method of purchase offered to such Person) as shall be offered to such third party and which shall have been specified by the Company in a writing delivered to each Holder (the “Proposal”). The

 

15



 

Proposal by its terms shall remain open and irrevocable for a period of 20 days from the date it is delivered by the Company to each Holder (the “Future Shares Exercise Period”). The Proposal shall also certify that the Company either (a) has received a firm offer from a prospective purchaser, who shall be identified in such certification, so that the Company in good faith believes a binding agreement of sale is obtainable for consideration having a fair market, cash equivalent or present value set forth in such certification; or (b) intends in good faith to make an offering of its securities at the price and on the terms set forth in such certification.

 

(b)                                 Notice of each Holder’s acceptance, in whole or in part, of the Proposal made pursuant to Section 8(a) hereof shall be evidenced by a writing signed by such Holder delivered to the Company prior to the end of the Future Shares Exercise Period setting forth that portion of the Future Shares, as the case may be, which the Holder elects to purchase (the “Notice of Purchase”). If a Holder does not deliver such written notice within the Future Shares Exercise Period, such Holder shall be deemed to have elected not to purchase all or any part of such Future Shares.

 

(c)                                  In the event that the Holders elect not to purchase all of the Future Shares available to them during a particular Future Shares Exercise Period, the Company shall have 120 days from the expiration of the Future Shares Exercise Period to offer and sell any part of such Future Shares available but not elected to be purchased by the Holders (the “Refused Future Shares”) and that portion of the Future Shares not subject to purchase by the Holders (collectively with the Refused Future Shares, the “Remaining Future Shares”) to any other Person(s), but only upon terms and conditions in all respects (including, without limitation, price, seniority, dividends and liquidation, redemption and conversion rights) which are no more favorable to such other Person(s) or less favorable to the Company than those set forth in the Proposal; provided, however, that such sale be to the same Person(s) or their affiliates identified in the Proposal, if so identified pursuant to Section 8(a). In the event that the Company so sells the Remaining Future Shares to such other Person(s), the sale to each Holder of the Future Shares in respect of which a Notice of Purchase was delivered to the Company by such Holder shall occur upon the closing of the sale to such other Person(s) of Remaining Future Shares (which closing shall include full payment to the Company). If there are no Refused Future Shares, the sale of such Future Shares to such Holder and the sale of Remaining Shares to any other Persons shall occur within 20 days of the expiration of the Future Shares Exercise Period. In any event, the sale to such Holder of such Future Shares shall be on the terms specified in the Proposal. Any Remaining Future Shares not purchased by such other Person(s) within such 120-day period shall remain subject to this Section 8.

 

(d)                                 The term “Proportionate Percentage” shall mean, as to any Holder, that percentage figure which expresses the ratio which (i) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock then (a) outstanding and owned by such Holder and (b) issuable upon conversion or exercise of securities which are convertible into or exercisable for Common Stock outstanding and owned by such Holder bears to (ii) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock (a) outstanding and owned by all stockholders and (b) issuable upon conversion or exercise of options, warrants, other securities and other

 

16



 

rights which are convertible into or exercisable for Common Stock outstanding and owned by all holders.

 

(e)                                  For purposes solely of the computation required under Section 8(d), Holders shall be treated as having converted or exercised all options, warrants, other securities and other rights which are convertible into or exercisable for shares of Common Stock at the rate at which such securities are convertible into or exercisable for Common Stock at the time of such computation.

 

(f)                                    Notwithstanding anything in Section 8(a) to the contrary, a Holder shall not be entitled to any preemptive rights under this Agreement in connection with any issuance of shares of Common Stock: (i) to employees, officers, directors, consultants, vendors and advisors of the Company under the Equity Plan or any stock option plan (including any increase in the number of shares available under the Equity Plan), stock purchase or bonus arrangement, or grant which is approved by a majority of the Board of Directors (which majority must include a majority of the Preferred Directors); (ii) to underwriters and/or the public pursuant to an Initial Public Offering; (iii) in connection with the acquisition of another corporation or other business entity by the Company by merger, stock purchase, purchase of substantially all assets or other reorganization whereby the Company owns, upon consummation of such acquisition, greater than fifty percent (50%) of the voting power to elect the directors of such corporation or other business entity, provided that such acquisition is approved by a Preferred Vote; (iv) in any merger or consolidation of the Company, provided that such merger or consolidation is approved by a Preferred Vote; (v) pursuant to a stock split, stock dividend or similar event; (vi) in connection with the acquisition of certain technology or license approved by a majority of the Board of Directors, which majority must include a majority of the Preferred Directors; (vii) to a non-financial corporation in connection with a license, distribution, development, foundry or similar “corporate partner” agreement, the terms of which are approved by the majority of the Board of Directors, which majority must include a majority of the Preferred Directors; (viii) to financial institutions and leasing companies in connection with borrowing or lease financing arrangements of the Company, provided that such issuances and grants are approved by a majority of the Board of Directors, which majority must include at least one Preferred Director; (ix) upon conversion of shares of Series B Preferred Stock; (x) pursuant to the First Series B Purchase Agreement prior to the date hereof; (xi) pursuant to the Second Series B Purchase Agreement prior to the date hereof; (xii) upon conversion of shares of Series C Preferred Stock; (xiii) pursuant to the Series C Purchase Agreement prior to the date hereof; (xiv) upon conversion of shares of Series D Preferred Stock or (xv) pursuant to the Series D Purchase Agreement.

 

9.                                       Anti-Dilution. If the Company shall issue any Additional Stock (as defined in Section 10.1 hereof) after the date hereof involving the issuance of shares of Common Stock (whether as part of a unit with shares of Series A Preferred Stock or other security, or in connection with the exercise of an option, warrant or other right to purchase Common Stock or the conversion of a security convertible into Common Stock) in a transaction or series of related transactions occurring within 6 months of each other in which the total consideration is at least $100,000, where the total consideration received or receivable is less than “ B “ (as defined below) (a

 

17



 

Dilutive Event”), the Company shall concurrently with such event issue additional shares of Common Stock to each holder of Series A Preferred Stock (“Series A Holder”) for cash in an amount equal to the par value of such shares (the “Anti-Dilutional Shares”) according to the following formula:

 

 

where y is the number of Anti-Dilutional Shares to be issued to the Series A Holder, N is the number of Investor Common Shares originally purchased by the Series A Holder under the Series A Purchase Agreement and A is the following fraction:

 

 

where M is the number of fully diluted shares of Common Stock outstanding or issuable upon conversion or exchange of any outstanding convertible or exchangeable securities or exercise of any outstanding options or warrants prior to the Dilutive Event, P is the number of such shares issued or deemed to be issued in the Dilutive Event, D is the amount of money raised (before expenses) in the Dilutive Event and B is the base price per share (which shall initially be $0.49); provided, however, that no Anti-Dilutional Shares shall be issued to a Series A Holder in respect of any transaction subject to Section 8(a) unless such Series A Holder shall have purchased at least its full Proportionate Percentage (or such lesser percentage as determined by majority of the Board of Directors which majority must include a majority of the Preferred Directors) of Additional Stock issued in such transaction. Following any issuance of Anti-Dilutional Shares under this Section 9, B shall be reset to be equal to the product of B (prior to the Dilutive Event giving rise to such issuance) and A (in the Dilutive Event giving rise to such issuance) and N shall become the number of shares of Common Stock held by the Series A Holder immediately following such issuance of Anti-Dilutional Shares. N and B shall be equitably adjusted to reflect stock splits, reverse splits, recapitalizations and similar changes to the Common Stock occurring after the date of this Agreement.

 

9.1.                              “Additional Stock” shall mean:

 

(a)                                  The issuance of Common Stock for cash by the Company, in which case the consideration for such Common Stock shall be deemed to be the amount of cash paid therefor before deducting any reasonable discounts, commissions or other expenses allowed, paid or incurred by the Company for any underwriting or otherwise in connection with the issuance and sale thereof;

 

18



 

(b)                                 The issuance of Common Stock for a consideration in whole or in part other than cash, in which case the fair value of such consideration is to be determined by the Board of Directors irrespective of any accounting treatment;

 

(c)                                  The issuance of Shares of Common Stock upon exercise (i) of options to purchase or rights to subscribe for Common Stock, (ii) of securities by their terms convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock, or (iii) of options to purchase or rights to subscribe for such convertible or exchangeable securities, in which case the total consideration per share shall include the aggregate consideration paid upon issuance or grant of such option, right or security plus the consideration, if any, paid upon exercise, conversion or exchange thereof.

 

provided, however, that Additional Stock shall not include shares of Common Stock:

 

(a)                                  issuable or issued to employees, officers, directors, consultants, vendors and advisors of the Company under the Equity Plan or any stock option plan (including any increase in the number of shares available under the Equity Plan), stock purchase or bonus arrangement, or grant which is approved by a majority of the Board of Directors, which majority must include a majority of the Preferred Directors; or

 

(b)                                 issued: (i) to underwriters and/or the public pursuant to an Initial Public Offering; (ii) in connection with the acquisition of another corporation or other business entity by the Company by merger, stock purchase, purchase of substantially all assets or other reorganization whereby the Company owns, upon consummation of such acquisition, greater than fifty percent (50%) of the voting power to elect the directors of such corporation or other business entity, provided that such acquisition is approved by a Preferred Vote; (iii) in any merger or consolidation of the Company, provided that such merger or consolidation is approved by a Preferred Vote; (iv) pursuant to a stock split, stock dividend or similar event; (v) in connection with the acquisition of certain technology or license approved by a majority of the Board of Directors, which majority must include a majority of the Preferred Directors; (vi) to a non-financial corporation in connection with a license, distribution, development, foundry or similar “corporate partner” agreement, the terms of which are approved by the majority of the Board of Directors, which majority must include a majority of the Preferred Directors; (vii) to financial institutions and leasing companies in connection with borrowing or lease financing arrangements of the Company, provided that such issuances and grants are approved by a majority of the Board of Directors, which majority must include at least one Preferred Director; (viii) upon conversion of shares of Series B Preferred Stock; (ix) pursuant to the First Series B Purchase Agreement prior to the date hereof; (x) pursuant to the Second Series B Purchase Agreement prior to the date hereof; (xi) upon conversion of shares of Series C Preferred Stock; (xii) pursuant to the Series C Purchase Agreement prior to the date hereof; (xii) upon conversion of shares of Series D Preferred Stock or (xiv) pursuant to the Series D Purchase Agreement.

 

10.                                 Lock-up Agreements. If reasonably requested by the Company and the managing underwriter, each party to this Agreement (for purposes of this Section 10, a “Locked-Up Holder”) agrees to enter into lock-up agreements (the “Lock-up Agreements”) pursuant to which

 

19



 

it will not, for a period of no more than 180 days following the effective date of the first registration statement for a public offering of the Company’s securities, offer, sell or otherwise dispose of the Registrable Securities or other equity securities of the Company other than to its members or partners, as the case may be, except the Registrable Securities sold pursuant to such registration statement, without the prior consent of the Company and the underwriter, provided that the officers, directors and all holders of more than five percent (5%) of the shares of Common Stock (calculated for the purpose as if all securities convertible into or exercisable for Common Stock, directly or indirectly, are so converted or exercised) of the Company enter into Lock-up Agreements for the same period and on the same terms. The Lock-up Agreements shall provide that the provisions thereof may be waived with the consent of the Company and the managing underwriter, provided that with the exception of the release of any Locked-Up Holder from the provisions of the Lock-up Agreement for reasons of financial hardship, which release shall prohibit the disposition of equity securities of the Company by such Locked-Up Holder in excess of $50,000, any release from the provisions of the Lock-up Agreement shall be allocated pro rata among all Holders.

 

11.                                 Confidentiality. Each of the parties to this agreement covenants and agrees that such party shall maintain the confidentiality of all confidential and proprietary information of the Company acquired by such party, and before exercising rights hereunder, first shall execute a non-disclosure agreement in form acceptable to counsel for the Company. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, each party may (1) disclose such information to the extent required by law or governmental order or regulation, or when required by a subpoena or other process, provided that such party first gives the Company advance notice of such disclosure as soon as practicable, (2) disclose such information to the extent necessary to enforce this Agreement, (3) disclose such information to its attorneys, accountants, consultants and other professionals to the extent necessary to obtain their services in connection with its investment in the Company, provided that the requirements of this subsection shall in turn be binding on any such attorney, accountant, consultant or other professional, or (4) disclose such information as may be required by any prospective purchaser of any Shares from such party, provided that such prospective purchaser shall first execute a non-disclosure agreement in form acceptable to counsel for the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall be deemed to require any Institutional Investor to execute a non-disclosure agreement. An Institutional Investor may also disclose such information to any Affiliate of such Institutional Investor provided that the requirements of this subsection shall in turn be binding on any such affiliate, partner, member, shareholder or subsidiary of such Institutional Investor and further provided that such partner, member, shareholder or subsidiary agrees in writing to be bound by the provisions of this subsection.

 

12.                                 Termination. This Agreement, and the respective rights and obligations of the parties hereto, shall terminate upon the completion of (i) an Initial Public Offering, (ii) a sale, lease or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or (iii) a merger, consolidation, stock purchase, or similar transaction in which the holders of a majority of the Common Stock immediately prior to the completion of such transaction do not hold at least 50% of the voting securities of the surviving or resulting entity immediately following the completion of such transaction.
