(a)                                 if such transaction requires stockholder approval, with respect to all Shares that such Stockholder owns or over which such Stockholder otherwise exercises voting power, to vote (in person, by proxy or by action by written consent, as applicable) all Shares in favor of, and adopt, such Sale of the Company or Financing Event (together with any related amendment to the Restated Certificate required in order to implement such Sale of the Company or Financing Event) and to vote in opposition to any and all other proposals that could delay or impair the ability of the Company to consummate such Sale of the Company or Financing Event;

 

(b)                                 if such transaction is a Stock Sale, to sell the same proportion of shares of capital stock of the Company beneficially held by such Stockholder as is being sold by the Selling Investors to the Person to whom the Selling Investors propose to sell their Shares, and, except as permitted in Section 3.2 below, on the same terms and conditions as the Selling Investors;

 

(c)                                  to execute and deliver all related documentation and take such other action in support of the Sale of the Company or Financing Event as shall reasonably be requested by the Company or the Selling Investors in order to carry out the terms and provision of this Section 3, including without limitation executing and delivering instruments of conveyance and transfer, and any purchase agreement, merger agreement, indemnity agreement, escrow agreement, consent, waiver, governmental filing, share certificates duly endorsed for transfer (free and clear of impermissible liens, claims and encumbrances) and any similar or related documents, as applicable;

 

(d)                                 not to deposit, and to cause their Affiliates not to deposit, except as provided in this Agreement, any Shares of the Company owned by such party or Affiliate in a voting trust or subject any Shares to any arrangement or agreement with respect to the voting of such Shares, unless specifically requested to do so by the acquiror in connection with the Sale of the Company;

 

(e)                                  to refrain from exercising any dissenters’ rights or rights of appraisal under applicable law at any time with respect to such Sale of the Company;

 


 

(f)                                   that, upon the election of the Company in its sole discretion and without any further action required on the part of such Stockholder, unless otherwise agreed by the holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class on an as-converted basis, each stock option, warrant, and other security then exercisable for shares of capital stock of the Company (collectively, “Exercisable Securities” and individually, an “Exercisable Security”), shall, if such Stockholder has not otherwise exercised the vested portion of such Exercisable Security prior to the closing of a Sale of the Company (or any such Exercisable Security contains a vesting acceleration provision that becomes effective immediately prior to the closing of a Sale of the Company), be cancelled in connection with a Sale of the Company in exchange for an amount of cash or such other consideration payable in connection with such Sale of the Company with an aggregate value equal to (A) the consideration payable in respect of each share of the class or series of capital stock underlying such Exercisable Security in connection with such Sale of the Company multiplied by the number of shares of such class or series of capital stock underlying such Exercisable Security that remain unexercised as of the closing of such Sale of the Company minus (B) the exercise price per share for such Exercisable Security multiplied by the number of shares of such class or series of capital stock underlying such Exercisable Security that remain unexercised as of the closing of such Sale of the Company, provided that the result of such calculation is a positive number, which payment shall be subject to the terms and conditions generally applicable to the payment of the consideration in connection with such Sale of the Company, including indemnification obligations, escrows, earnouts, contingency payments and purchase price adjustments; and

 

(g)                                  if the consideration to be paid in exchange for the Shares pursuant to this Section 3 in connection with such Sale of the Company includes any securities and due receipt thereof by any Stockholder would require under applicable law (x) the registration or qualification of such securities or of any person as a broker or dealer or agent with respect to such securities or (y) the provision to any Stockholder of any information other than such information as a prudent issuer would generally furnish in an offering made solely to “accredited investors” as defined in Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the “Securities Act”) the Company may cause to be paid to any such Stockholder in lieu thereof, against surrender of the Shares which would have otherwise been sold by such Stockholder, an amount in cash equal to the fair value (as determined in good faith by the Company) of the securities which such Stockholder would otherwise receive as of the date of the issuance of such securities in exchange for the Shares.

 

3.2                               Exceptions.  Notwithstanding the forgoing, a Stockholder will not be required to comply with Section 3.1 above in connection with any proposed Sale of the Company (the “Proposed Sale”) unless:

 

(a)                                 any representations and warranties to be made by such Stockholder in connection with the Proposed Sale are limited to representations and warranties related to authority, ownership and the ability to convey title to such Shares, including but not limited to representations and warranties that (i) the Stockholder holds all right, title and interest in and to the Shares such Stockholder purports to hold, free and clear of all liens and encumbrances, (ii) the obligations of the Stockholder in connection with the transaction have been duly authorized,

 



 

if applicable, (iii) the documents to be entered into by the Stockholder have been duly executed by the Stockholder and delivered to the acquirer and are enforceable against the Stockholder in accordance with their respective terms and (iv) neither the execution and delivery of documents to be entered into in connection with the transaction, nor the performance of the Stockholder’s obligations thereunder, will cause a breach or violation of the terms of any agreement, law or judgment, order or decree of any court or governmental agency;

 

(b)                                 the Stockholder shall not be liable for the inaccuracy of any representation or warranty made by any other Person in connection with the Proposed Sale, other than the Company;

 

(c)                                  the liability for indemnification, if any, of such Stockholder in the Proposed Sale and for the inaccuracy of any representations and warranties made by the Company in connection with such Proposed Sale, is several and not joint with any other Person, and is pro rata in proportion to the amount of consideration paid to such Stockholder in connection with such Proposed Sale (in accordance with the provisions of the Restated Certificate);

 

(d)                                 liability shall be limited to such Stockholder’s pro rata share (determined in proportion to proceeds received by such Stockholder in connection with such Proposed Sale in accordance with the provisions of the Restated Certificate) of a negotiated aggregate indemnification amount that applies equally to all Stockholders but that in no event exceeds the amount of consideration actually paid to such Stockholder in connection with such Proposed Sale, except with respect to claims related to fraud by such Stockholder, the liability for which need not be limited as to such Stockholder;

 

(e)                                  upon the consummation of the Proposed Sale, (i) each holder of each series of the Company’s Preferred Stock and each holder of Common Stock will, subject to Section 3.1(g), receive the same form of consideration for their shares of Common Stock and Preferred Stock, (ii) each holder of a series of Preferred Stock will receive the same amount of consideration per share of such series of Preferred Stock, (iii) each holder of Common Stock will receive the same amount of consideration per share of Common Stock, and (iv) unless the holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class on an as-converted basis, elect otherwise by written notice given to the Company at least ten (10) days prior to the effective date of any such Proposed Sale, the aggregate consideration receivable by all holders of the Preferred Stock and Common Stock shall be allocated among the holders of Preferred Stock and Common Stock on the basis of the relative liquidation preferences to which the holders of each respective series of Preferred Stock and the holders of Common Stock are entitled in a Deemed Liquidation Event (assuming for this purpose that the Proposed Sale is a Deemed Liquidation Event) in accordance with the Restated Certificate; and

 

(f)                                   subject to clause (e) above, requiring the same form of consideration to be received by the holders of the Company’s Common Stock and Preferred Stock, if any holders of any capital stock of the Company are given an option as to the form and amount of consideration to be received as a result of the Proposed Sale, all holders of such capital stock will be given the same option.

 



 

3.3                               Restrictions on Sales of Control of the Company.                      No Stockholder shall be a party to any Stock Sale unless all holders of Preferred Stock are allowed to participate in such transaction and the consideration received pursuant to such transaction is allocated among the parties thereto in the manner specified in the Restated Certificate (as if such transaction were a Deemed Liquidation Event), unless the holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class on an as-converted basis, elect otherwise by written notice given to the Company at least ten (10) days prior to the effective date of any such transaction or series of related transactions.

 

3.4                               Grant of Proxy.            Upon the failure of any Key Holder to vote its Shares in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such Key Holder hereby grants to a stockholder designated by the Board a proxy coupled with an interest in all Shares owned by such Stockholder, which proxy shall be irrevocable until this Agreement terminates pursuant to its terms or this Section 3.4 is amended to remove such grant of proxy in accordance with Section 8.10 hereof, to vote all such Shares in the manner provided in Sections 2 and 3 hereof.

4.1                               Right of First Refusal.

 

(a)                                 Grant.  Subject to the terms of Section 5 below, each Key Holder hereby unconditionally and irrevocably grants to the Company a Right of First Refusal to purchase all or any portion of Transfer Stock that such Key Holder may propose to transfer in a Proposed Key Holder Transfer, on the same terms and conditions (including price and form of consideration), subject to Section 4.1(e), as those offered to the Prospective Transferee.

 

(b)                                 Notice.  Each Key Holder proposing to make a Proposed Key Holder Transfer must deliver a Proposed Transfer Notice to the Company and each Investor not later than thirty (30) days prior to the consummation of such Proposed Key Holder Transfer.  Such Proposed Transfer Notice shall contain the material terms and conditions (including price and form of consideration) of the Proposed Key Holder Transfer and the identity of the Prospective Transferee and the intended date of the Proposed Key Holder Transfer.  To exercise its Right of First Refusal under this Section 4, the Company must deliver a Company Notice to the selling Key Holder within fifteen (15) days after delivery of the Proposed Transfer Notice.  In the event of a conflict between this Agreement and any other agreement that may have been entered into by a Key Holder with the Company that contains a preexisting right of first refusal, the Company and the Key Holder acknowledge and agree that the terms of this Agreement shall control and the preexisting right of first refusal shall be deemed satisfied by compliance with this Section 4.1.

 

(c)                                  Grant of Secondary Refusal Right to Investors.  Subject to the terms of Section 5 below, each Key Holder hereby unconditionally and irrevocably grants to the Investors, on a pro rata basis, a Secondary Refusal Right to purchase all or any portion of the Transfer Stock not purchased by the Company pursuant to the Right of First Refusal, as provided in this Section 4.1(c).  If the Company does not intend to exercise its Right of First Refusal with respect to all Transfer Stock subject to a Proposed Key Holder Transfer, the Company must

 



 

deliver a Secondary Notice to the selling Key Holder and to each Investor to that effect no later than fifteen (15) days after the selling Key Holder delivers the Proposed Transfer Notice to the Company.  To exercise its Secondary Refusal Right, an Investor must deliver an Investor Notice to the selling Key Holder and the Company within ten (10) days after the Company’s deadline for its delivery of the Secondary Notice as provided in the preceding sentence.

 

(d)                                 Undersubscription of Transfer Stock.  If options to purchase have been exercised by the Company and the Investors with respect to some but not all of the Transfer Stock by the end of the 10-day period specified in the last sentence of Section 4.1(c) (the “Investor Notice Period”), then the Company shall, immediately after the expiration of the Investor Notice Period, send written notice (the “Company Undersubscription Notice”) to those Investors who fully exercised their Secondary Refusal Right within the Investor Notice Period (the “Exercising Investors”).  Each Exercising Investor shall, subject to the provisions of this Section 4.1(d), have an Undersubscription Option to purchase all or any part of the balance of any such remaining unsubscribed shares of Transfer Stock on the terms and conditions set forth in the Proposed Transfer Notice.  To exercise such Undersubscription Option, an Exercising Investor must deliver an Undersubscription Notice to the selling Key Holder and the Company within ten (10) days after the expiration of the Investor Notice Period.  In the event there are two or more such Exercising Investors that choose to exercise the Undersubscription Option for a total number of remaining shares in excess of the number available, the remaining shares available for purchase under this Section 4.1(d) shall be allocated to such Exercising Investors pro rata based on the number of shares of Transfer Stock such Exercising Investors have elected to purchase pursuant to the Secondary Refusal Right (without giving effect to any shares of Transfer Stock that any such Exercising Investor has elected to purchase pursuant to the Company Undersubscription Notice).  If the Undersubscription Options to purchase the remaining shares are exercised in full by the Exercising Investors, the Company shall immediately notify all of the Exercising Investors and the selling Key Holder of that fact.

 

(e)                                  Consideration; Closing.  If the consideration proposed to be paid for the Transfer Stock is in property, services or other non-cash consideration, the fair market value of the consideration shall be as determined in good faith by the Board and as set forth in the Company Notice.  If the Company or any Investor cannot for any reason pay for the Transfer Stock in the same form of non-cash consideration, the Company or such Investor may pay the cash value equivalent thereof, as determined in good faith by the Board and as set forth in the Company Notice.  The closing of the purchase of Transfer Stock by the Company and the Investors shall take place, and all payments from the Company and the Investors shall have been delivered to the selling Key Holder, by the later of (i) the date specified in the Proposed Transfer Notice as the intended date of the Proposed Key Holder Transfer and (ii) thirty (30) days after delivery of the Proposed Transfer Notice.

 

4.2                               Right of Co-Sale.

 

(a)                                 Exercise of Right.  If any Transfer Stock subject to a Proposed Key Holder Transfer is not purchased pursuant to Section 4.1 above and thereafter is to be sold to a Prospective Transferee, each respective Investor may elect to exercise its Right of Co-Sale and participate on a pro rata basis in the Proposed Key Holder Transfer as set forth in Section 4.2(b)

 



 

below and otherwise on the same terms and conditions specified in the Proposed Transfer Notice (provided that if an Investor wishes to sell Preferred Stock, the price set forth in the Proposed Transfer Notice shall be appropriately adjusted based on the conversion ratio of the Preferred Stock into Common Stock).  Each Investor who desires to exercise its Right of Co-Sale must give the selling Key Holder written notice to that effect within fifteen (15) days after the deadline for delivery of the Secondary Notice described above, and upon giving such notice such Investor shall be deemed to have effectively exercised the Right of Co-Sale.

 

(b)                                 Shares Includable.  Each Investor who timely exercises such Investor’s Right of Co-Sale by delivering the written notice provided for above in Section 4.2(a) may include in the Proposed Key Holder Transfer all or any part of such Investor’s Capital Stock equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the aggregate number of shares of Transfer Stock subject to the Proposed Key Holder Transfer (excluding shares purchased by the Company or the Investors pursuant to the Right of First Refusal, the Secondary Refusal Right or the Undersubscription Option, as applicable) by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of Capital Stock owned by such Investor immediately before consummation of the Proposed Key Holder Transfer and the denominator of which is the total number of shares of Capital Stock owned, in the aggregate, by all Investors immediately prior to the consummation of the Proposed Key Holder Transfer, plus the number of shares of Transfer Stock held by the selling Key Holder.  To the extent one or more of the Investors exercise such right of participation in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth herein, the number of shares of Transfer Stock that the selling Key Holder may sell in the Proposed Key Holder Transfer shall be correspondingly reduced.

 

(c)                                  Delivery of Certificates.  Each Investor shall effect its participation in the Proposed Key Holder Transfer by delivering to the transferring Key Holder, no later than fifteen (15) days after such Investor’s exercise of the Right of Co-Sale, one or more stock certificates, properly endorsed for transfer to the Prospective Transferee, representing:

 

(i)                                     the number of shares of Common Stock that such Investor elects to include in the Proposed Key Holder Transfer; or

 

(ii)                                  the number of shares of Preferred Stock that is at such time convertible into the number of shares of Common Stock that such Investor elects to include in the Proposed Key Holder Transfer; provided, however, that if the Prospective Transferee objects to the delivery of convertible Preferred Stock in lieu of Common Stock, such Investor shall first convert the Preferred Stock into Common Stock and deliver Common Stock as provided above.  The Company agrees to make any such conversion concurrent with and contingent upon the actual transfer of such shares to the Prospective Transferee.

 

(d)                                 Purchase Agreement.  The parties hereby agree that the terms and conditions of any sale pursuant to this Section 4.2 will be memorialized in, and governed by, a written purchase and sale agreement with customary terms and provisions for such a transaction and the parties further covenant and agree to enter into such an agreement as a condition precedent to any sale or other transfer pursuant to this Section 4.2.

 



 

(e)                                  Deliveries.  Each stock certificate an Investor delivers to the selling Key Holder pursuant to Section 4.2(c) above will be transferred to the Prospective Transferee against payment therefor in consummation of the sale of the Transfer Stock pursuant to the terms and conditions specified in the Proposed Transfer Notice and the purchase and sale agreement, and the selling Key Holder shall concurrently therewith remit or direct payment to each Investor the portion of the sale proceeds to which such Investor is entitled by reason of its participation in such sale.  If any Prospective Transferee or Transferees refuse(s) to purchase securities subject to the Right of Co-Sale from any Investor exercising its Right of Co-Sale hereunder, no Key Holder may sell any Transfer Stock to such Prospective Transferee or Transferees unless and until, simultaneously with such sale, such Key Holder purchases all securities subject to the Right of Co-Sale from such Investor on the same terms and conditions (including the proposed purchase price) as set forth in the Proposed Transfer Notice.

 

(f)                                   Additional Compliance.  If any Proposed Key Holder Transfer is not consummated within forty-five (45) days after receipt of the Proposed Transfer Notice by the Company, the Key Holders proposing the Proposed Key Holder Transfer may not sell any Transfer Stock unless they first comply in full with each provision of this Section 4.  The exercise or election not to exercise any right by any Investor hereunder shall not adversely affect its right to participate in any other sales of Transfer Stock subject to this Section 4.2.

 

4.3                               Effect of Failure to Comply.

 

(a)                                 Transfer Void; Equitable Relief.  Any Proposed Key Holder Transfer not made in compliance with the requirements of this Agreement shall be null and void ab initio, shall not be recorded on the books of the Company or its transfer agent and shall not be recognized by the Company.  Each party hereto acknowledges and agrees that any breach of this Agreement would result in substantial harm to the other parties hereto for which monetary damages alone could not adequately compensate.  Therefore, the parties hereto unconditionally and irrevocably agree that any non-breaching party hereto shall be entitled to seek protective orders, injunctive relief and other remedies available at law or in equity (including, without limitation, seeking specific performance or the rescission of purchases, sales and other transfers of Transfer Stock not made in strict compliance with this Agreement).

 

(b)                                 Violation of Right of First Refusal or Secondary Refusal Right.  If any Key Holder becomes obligated to sell any Transfer Stock to the Company or any Investor under this Agreement and fails to deliver such Transfer Stock in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Company and/or such Investor may, at its option, in addition to all other remedies it may have, send to such Key Holder the purchase price for such Transfer Stock as is herein specified and transfer to the name of the Company or such Investor (or request that the Company effect such transfer in the name of an Investor) on the Company’s books the certificate or certificates representing the Transfer Stock to be sold.

 

(c)                                  Violation of Co-Sale Right.  If any Key Holder purports to sell any Transfer Stock in contravention of the Right of Co-Sale (a “Prohibited Transfer”), each Investor who desires to exercise its Right of Co-Sale under Section 4.2 may, in addition to such remedies as may be available by law, in equity or hereunder, require such Key Holder to purchase from such Investor the type and number of shares of Capital Stock that such Investor

 



 

would have been entitled to sell to the Prospective Transferee under Section 4.2 had the Prohibited Transfer been effected pursuant to and in compliance with the terms of Section 4.2.  The sale will be made on the same terms and subject to the same conditions as would have applied had the Key Holder not made the Prohibited Transfer, except that the sale (including, without limitation, the delivery of the purchase price) must be made within ninety (90) days after the Investor learns of the Prohibited Transfer, as opposed to the timeframe proscribed in Section 4.2.  Such Key Holder shall also reimburse each Investor for any and all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses, including reasonable legal fees and expenses, incurred pursuant to the exercise or the attempted exercise of the Investor’s rights under Section 4.2.

 

5.                                      Exempt Transfers.

 

5.1                               Exempted Transfers.  Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary herein, the provisions of Sections 4.1 and 4.2 shall not apply: (a) in the case of a Key Holder that is an entity, upon a transfer by such Key Holder to its stockholders, members, partners or other equity holders, (b) to a repurchase of Transfer Stock from a Key Holder by the Company at a price no greater than that originally paid by such Key Holder for such Transfer Stock and pursuant to an agreement containing vesting and/or repurchase provisions approved by a majority of the Board, or (c) in the case of a Key Holder that is a natural person, upon a transfer of Transfer Stock by such Key Holder made for bona fide estate planning purposes, either during his or her lifetime or on death by will or intestacy to his or her spouse, child (natural or adopted), parent, or any other direct lineal descendant or ancestor of such Key Holder (or his or her spouse) (all of the foregoing collectively referred to as “family members”), or any other Person approved by the Board, or any custodian or trustee of any trust, partnership or limited liability company for the benefit of, or the ownership interests of which are owned wholly by, such Key Holder or any such family members; provided that in the case of clauses (a) and (c), the Key Holder shall deliver prior written notice to the Investors of such pledge, gift or transfer and such shares of Transfer Stock shall at all times remain subject to the terms and restrictions set forth in this Agreement and such transferee shall, as a condition to such issuance, deliver a counterpart signature page to this Agreement as confirmation that such transferee shall be bound by all the terms and conditions of this Agreement as a Key Holder (but only with respect to the securities so transferred to the transferee), including the obligations of a Key Holder with respect to Proposed Key Holder Transfers of such Transfer Stock pursuant to Section 4; and provided, further, in the case of any transfer pursuant to clause (a) or (c) above, that such transfer is made pursuant to a transaction in which there is no consideration actually paid for such transfer.

 

5.2                               Exempted Offerings.  Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary herein, the provisions of Section 4 shall not apply to the sale of any Transfer Stock (a) to the public in an offering pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act (the “IPO”) or (b) pursuant to a Sale of the Company.

 

5.3                               Prohibited Transferees.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Key Holder shall transfer any Transfer Stock to (a) any entity which, in the determination of the Board, directly or indirectly competes with the Company or (b) any customer, distributor or supplier of the Company, if the Board should determine that such transfer would result in such customer,

 



 

distributor or supplier receiving information that would place the Company at a competitive disadvantage with respect to such customer, distributor or supplier.

 

6.                                      Lock-Up.

 

6.1                               Agreement to Lock-Up.  Each Key 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 IPO and ending on the date specified by the Company and the managing underwriter (such period not to exceed l80 days) or, if required by such underwriter, such longer period of time as is necessary to enable such underwriter to issue a research report or make a public appearance that relates to an earnings release or announcement by the Company within fifteen (15) days prior to or after the date that is one hundred eighty (180) days after the effective date of the registration statement relating to such offering, but in any event not to exceed two hundred ten (210) days following the effective date of the registration statement relating to such offering (a) 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 Capital Stock held immediately prior to the effectiveness of the registration statement for the IPO or (b) 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 Capital Stock, whether any such transaction described in clause (a) or (b) above is to be settled by delivery of Capital Stock or other securities, in cash or otherwise.  The foregoing provisions of this Section 6 shall not apply to the sale of any shares to an underwriter pursuant to an underwriting agreement.  The underwriters in connection with the IPO are intended third party beneficiaries of this Section 6 and shall have the right, power and authority to enforce the provisions hereof as though they were a party hereto.  Each Key Holder further agrees to execute such agreements as may be reasonably requested by the underwriters in the IPO that are consistent with this Section 6 or that are necessary to give further effect thereto.

 

6.2                               Stop Transfer Instructions.  In order to enforce the foregoing covenant, the Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the shares of Capital Stock of each Key Holder (and transferees and assignees thereof) until the end of such restricted period.

 

7.                                      Remedies and “Bad Actor” Matters.

 

7.1                               Covenants of the Company.  The Company agrees to use its best efforts, within the requirements of applicable law, 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 in this Agreement.

 

7.2                               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.

 

7.3                               Remedies Cumulative.  All remedies, either under this Agreement or by law or otherwise afforded to any party, shall be cumulative and not alternative.

7.5                               “Bad Actor” Covenant.  Each Stockholder (other than a Wellington Investor) hereby agrees that it shall notify the Company promptly in writing in the event a Disqualification Event becomes applicable to such Stockholder or any of its Rule 506(d) Related Parties, except, if applicable, for a Disqualification Event as to which Rule 506(d)(2)(ii) or (iii) or (d)(3) is applicable.

 

8.                                      Miscellaneous.

 

8.1                               Term.  This Agreement shall be effective as of the date hereof and shall continue in effect until and shall terminate upon the earliest to occur of (a) immediately prior to the consummation of the IPO; (b) the consummation of a Deemed Liquidation Event; or (c) termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 8.10 below.

 

8.2                               Additional Parties.(a)                              Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if the Company issues additional shares of Preferred Stock to a Person who is not already a party to this Agreement (“New Investor”) after the date hereof, as a condition to the issuance of such shares the Company shall require that such New Investor become a party to this Agreement by executing and delivering an Adoption Agreement in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A.  Each such New Investor shall thereafter be deemed an Investor and Stockholder for all purposes under this Agreement.

 

(b)                                 In the event that after the date of this Agreement, the Company enters into an agreement with any Person to issue shares of capital stock, including any Exercisable Securities, to such Person (other than to a purchaser of Preferred Stock described in Section 8.2(a) above), following which such Person shall hold shares of capital stock constituting one 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 and/or converted or exercised), then the Company shall cause such Person, as a condition precedent to entering into such agreement, to become a party to this Agreement by executing an Adoption Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, agreeing to be bound by and subject to the terms of this Agreement as a

 



 

Stockholder and thereafter such Person shall be deemed a Key Holder and Stockholder for all purposes under this Agreement.

(a)                                 Each permitted transferee or permitted assignee of any Shares subject to this Agreement shall continue to be subject to the terms hereof, and, as a condition precedent to the Company’s recognizing such transfer, each such 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 permitted transferee or permitted assignee, such transferee or assignee shall be deemed to be a party hereto as if such transferee or assignee were the transferor or assignor and such transferee’s or assignee’s signature appeared on the signature pages of this Agreement and shall be deemed to be an Investor and Stockholder, or Key Holder and Stockholder, as applicable.  The Company shall not permit the transfer or assignment of the Shares subject to this Agreement on its books or issue a new certificate representing any such Shares unless and until such transferee or assignee shall have complied with the terms of this Section 8.3.  Each certificate representing the Shares subject to this Agreement if issued on or after the date of this Agreement shall be endorsed by the Company with the legends set forth in Sections 8.14.

 

(b)                                 The terms and conditions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the respective successors and permitted assigns of the parties.  Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any party other than the parties hereto or their respective successors and permitted assigns any rights, remedies, obligations, or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement, except as expressly provided in this Agreement.

 

(c)                                  The rights of the Investors hereunder are not assignable without the Company’s written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), except (i) by an Investor to any Affiliate or (ii) to an assignee or transferee who acquires at least 500,000 shares of Capital Stock (as adjusted for any stock combination, stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or other similar transaction), it being acknowledged and agreed that any such assignment, including an assignment contemplated by the preceding clauses (i) or (ii), shall be subject to and conditioned upon any such assignee’s delivery to the Company and the other Investors of a counterpart signature page hereto pursuant to which such assignee shall confirm their agreement to be subject to and bound by all of the provisions set forth in this Agreement that were applicable to the assignor of such assignee.  Each such permitted assignee or permitted transferee shall thereafter be deemed an Investor and Stockholder for all purposes under this Agreement.

 

(d)                                 Except in connection with an assignment by the Company by operation of law to the acquirer of the Company, the rights and obligations of the Company hereunder may not be assigned under any circumstances.

8.6                               Governing Law.  This Agreement and any controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware as to matters within the scope thereof, and as to all other matters shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without regard to conflict of law principles that would result in the application of any law other than the law of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

8.10                        Consent Required to Amend, Terminate or Waive.  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 the holders of at least a majority of the shares of Common Stock issued or issuable

 



 

upon conversion of the then outstanding shares of the Preferred Stock held by the Investors (voting as a single class and on an as-converted basis).  Notwithstanding the foregoing:

 

(i)                                     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 or Key Holder without the written consent of such Investor or Key Holder unless such amendment, termination or waiver applies to all Investors or Key Holders, as the case may be, in the same fashion;

 

(ii)                                  the consent of the Key Holders holding at least a majority of the Shares then held by the Key Holders who are providing services to the Company as a consultant, employee, director or officer shall be required for any amendment or waiver if such amendment or waiver seeks to eliminate any rights of the Key Holders hereunder, unless such amendment or waiver does not adversely affect the rights of the Key Holders in a manner that is different than the effect on the rights of the other parties hereto;

 

(iii)                               Schedules A and B hereto may be amended by the Company from time to time to update information with respect to the Investors and Key Holders, as applicable;

 

(iv)                              any provision hereof may be waived by the waiving party on such party’s own behalf, without the consent of any other party;

The Company shall give prompt written notice of any amendment, termination or waiver hereunder to any party that did not consent in writing thereto.  Any amendment, termination or waiver effected in accordance with this Section 8.10 shall be binding on each party and all of such party’s successors and permitted assigns, whether or not any such party, successor or assignee entered into or approved such amendment, termination or waiver.

 



 

8.11                        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 previously 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.  All remedies, either under this Agreement or by law or otherwise afforded to any party, shall be cumulative and not alternative.

 

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

8.15                        Stock Splits, Stock Dividends, etc.  In the event of any issuance of Shares 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 Shares shall become subject to this Agreement and shall be endorsed with the legends set forth in Section 8.14, as applicable.
