ARTICLE III
PURCHASE RIGHTS
3.1 Subsequent Offerings. Each Investor shall have a right of first refusal (the “Purchase Rights”) to purchase its Pro Rata Share of all Equity Securities, that the Company may, from

 


 

time to time, propose to sell and issue after the date of this Agreement, other than the Equity Securities excluded by Section 3.6 hereof.
3.2 Exercise of Rights.
          (a) If the Company proposes to issue any Equity Securities, it shall first give each Investor written notice of its intention, describing the Equity Securities, the price and the terms and conditions upon which the Company proposes to issue the same. Each Investor shall have thirty (30) days from the giving of such notice to agree to purchase up to its Pro Rata Share of the Equity Securities for the price and upon the terms and conditions specified in the notice by giving written notice to the Company (the “Company Notice”) and stating therein the quantity of Equity Securities to be purchased. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to offer or sell such Equity Securities to any Investor who would cause the Company to be in violation of applicable federal securities laws by virtue of such offer or sale or to not qualify for an exemption from the registration requirements of such securities laws on which the Company wishes to rely.
          (b) If not all of the Investors elect to purchase their Pro Rata Share of the Equity Securities, then the Company shall promptly notify in writing the Investors who do so elect and shall offer such Investors (the “Purchasing Investors”) the right to acquire such unsubscribed shares. Each Purchasing Investor shall have fifteen (15) days after receipt of such notice to notify the Company (the “Purchasing Investor Notice”) of its election to purchase all or a portion thereof of the unsubscribed shares. If the Purchasing Investors have, in the aggregate, elected to purchase more than the number of unsubscribed shares being offered in such notice, then the unsubscribed shares shall be allocated according to each Purchasing Investor’s Pro Rata Share up to the number of unsubscribed shares set forth in the notice to the Purchasing Investors, provided that for purposes of this Section 3.2(b), the denominator in clause (b) of the defined term “Pro Rata Share” shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock owned by all the Purchasing Investors on an As-Converted Basis. The Purchasing Investors shall then effect the purchase of the Equity Securities at the closing of the issuance of Equity Securities described in the notice delivered by the Company pursuant to Section 3.2(a). On the date of such closing, the Company shall deliver to the Purchasing Investors the certificates representing the Equity Securities to be purchased by the Purchasing Investors, each certificate to be properly endorsed for transfer, and at such time, the Purchasing Investors shall pay the purchase price for the Equity Securities.
3.3 Issuance of Equity Securities to Other Persons. If the Investors fail to exercise in full their Purchase Rights, the Company shall have sixty (60) days thereafter to sell the Equity Securities in respect of which the Investors’ rights were not exercised, at a price and upon general terms and conditions no more favorable to the purchasers thereof than specified in the Company’s notice to the Investors pursuant to Section 3.2 hereof. If the Company has not sold such Equity Securities within sixty (60) days of the notice provided pursuant to Section 3.2, the Company shall not thereafter issue or sell any Equity Securities without first again complying with this Article III.
3.4 Termination and Waiver of Purchase Rights. The Purchase Rights established by this Article III shall terminate immediately following the closing of a Qualified Public Offering. The Purchase Rights established by this Article III may be amended, or any provision waived, with the written consent (i) of the Required Holders; provided, that if any Required Holder participates in an issuance of Equity Securities with respect to which the Purchase Rights have

 


 

been waived pursuant to this clause (i), then each non-waiving Investor shall be entitled to purchase up to its Pro Rata Share of Equity Securities in such issuance at the same time and on the same terms and conditions; provided, further, that each non-waiving Investor receiving less than 5 days notice of any such issuance shall be entitled to make such purchase within five (5) days following such issuance; and (ii) the Investor holding the Warrant issued to CIGPF I Corp. (the “Warrant Investor”), as long as such Warrant is held by CIGPF I Corp. or its Permitted Transferee, and is exercisable for at least seventy five percent (75%) of the Common Stock originally issuable upon exercise of the Warrant, provided, however, that consent of the Warrant Investor shall not be required for any amendment or waiver of any provision of Article III unless such amendment or waiver affects the Warrant Investor or the Warrant Investor’s Shares in a manner different than the Investors that were originally issued Series A Preferred Stock or the Series A Preferred Stock and in a manner adverse to the interests of the Warrant Investor as an equity investor in the Company, it being understood that no such consent shall be required for an amendment or waiver that adversely affects the Warrant Investor and the Investors that were originally issued Series A Preferred Stock in a similar manner given their relative and different equity interests in the Company; and (iii) the PCP Investor, if required under Section 8.13.
3.5 Transfer of Purchase Rights. The Purchase Rights of each Investor under this Article III may be transferred to any Affiliate of such Investor or in connection with a Transfer of Shares made in compliance with the provisions of Article IV hereof; provided, that any such Affiliate transferee shall furnish the Company and the Investors with a written agreement, reasonably satisfactory to the Investors, to be bound by and comply with all provisions of this Agreement as if such Affiliate transferee were an Investor or an Excluded Investor, as the case may be.
3.6 Excluded Securities. The Purchase Rights established by this Article III shall have no application to any of the following Equity Securities (collectively, the “Excluded Securities”):
          (a) shares of Common Stock issued in connection with any stock split, stock dividend or recapitalization by the Company;
          (b) up to 152,312,347 shares of Common Stock (and/or options, warrants or other Common Stock purchase rights issued pursuant to such options, warrants or other rights) issued to employees, officers or directors of, or consultants or advisors to the Company or any subsidiary, pursuant to stock purchase or stock option plans or other arrangements that are approved by the Board of Directors;
          (c) any Equity Securities issued pursuant to any rights or agreements outstanding as of the date of this Agreement; options and warrants outstanding as of the date of this Agreement; and stock issued pursuant to any such rights or agreements sold or granted after the date of this Agreement, provided, however, that the Purchase Rights established by this Article III shall apply with respect to the initial sale or grant by the Company of such rights or agreements;
          (d) any Equity Securities issued in connection with business acquisitions, mergers or strategic partnerships of, into or with a Person that is not an Affiliate approved by the Board of Directors and the Required Holders;
          (e) any Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock or Series B Preferred Stock;

 


 

          (f) any Common Stock issued pursuant to an initial public offering (“IPO Common Stock”); provided, however, that IPO Common Stock shall not be deemed to be Excluded Securities with respect to the availability of the Investors’ Purchase Rights in this Article III unless the Investors and their Affiliates are offered the right to purchase their pro rata share of up to five percent (5%) of the shares of Common Stock offered in such offering at the offering price per share net of underwriters’ commissions or discounts; or
          (g) any other Equity Securities designated as Excluded Securities (i) by the Required Holders; provided, that if any Required Holder participates in an issuance of Equity Securities designated as Excluded Securities pursuant to this clause (i), then each non-waiving Investor shall be entitled to purchase up to its Pro Rata Share of Equity Securities in such issuance at the same time and on the same terms and conditions; provided, further, that each non-waiving Investor receiving less than 5 days notice of any such issuance shall be entitled to make such purchase within five (5) days following such issuance and (ii) the Warrant Investor, as long as such Warrant is held by CIGPF I Corp. or its Permitted Transferee, and is exercisable for at least seventy five percent (75%) of the Common Stock originally issuable upon exercise of the Warrant, provided, however, that consent of the Warrant Investor shall not be required for the designation of Excluded Securities unless such designation affects the Warrant Investor or the Warrant Investor’s Shares in a manner different than the Investors that were originally issued Series A Preferred Stock or the Series A Preferred Stock and in a manner adverse to the interests of the Warrant Investor as an equity investor in the Company, it being understood that no such consent shall be required for a designation of Excluded Securities that adversely affects the Warrant Investor and the Investors that were originally issued Series A Preferred Stock in a similar manner given their relative and different equity interests in the Company; and (iii) the PCP Investor, if required under Section 8.13.
ARTICLE IV
RIGHTS OF FIRST REFUSAL AND CO-SALE RIGHTS
4.1 Notice of Transfer. No Stockholder (a “Selling Stockholder”) other than an Excluded Investor may Transfer any Shares other than as set forth in Section 5.1 hereof or in connection with a Sale of the Company (including pursuant to Section 6.1 hereof) unless (i) such Selling Stockholder shall have received a bona-fide arm’s length offer (an “Offer”) to purchase such Shares from a third party who has agreed to become party to this Agreement and to be bound by all the terms and conditions hereof and who the Selling Stockholder reasonably believes has the financial capacity to fund such purchase, (ii) such Selling Stockholder gives written notice (the “Notice”) to each of the Investors and the Company at least thirty (30) days prior to the closing of such proposed Transfer as described below, and (iii) such Selling Stockholder otherwise complies with this Article IV. The Notice shall describe in reasonable detail the proposed transfer including, without limitation, the number and class or series of Shares to be transferred (the “Offered Shares”), the nature of such Transfer, the consideration to be paid, and the name and address of each prospective purchaser or transferee. For the avoidance of doubt, Transfers of Shares by any Excluded Investor shall not be subject to the Company Refusal Right or the Right of First Refusal or Co-Sale Right of any other Investor, and the term “Selling Stockholder” as used in this Article IV shall exclude any Excluded Investor; provided, that (A) any Excluded Investor Transferring Shares shall inform the Company and the Investors of such Transfer prior

 


 

to effecting it, and (B) the transferee shall furnish the Company with a written agreement, reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to be bound by and comply with all provisions of this Agreement as if such transferee were an Excluded Investor.
4.2 Right of First Refusal and Co-Sale Rights. For a period of ten (10) days following receipt of any Notice, the Company shall have the right (the “Company Refusal Right”) upon written notice to the Selling Stockholder to elect to purchase all or any part of the Offered Shares on the same terms and conditions set forth in the Notice, and for a period of twenty (20) days following the receipt of the Notice, each Investor shall have, upon written notice to the Selling Stockholder, either (a) the right (the “Right of First Refusal”), subject to the Company Refusal Right, to elect to purchase all or any part of the Offered Shares on the same terms and conditions as set forth in the Notice, or (b) except with respect to a PCP Investor, CIGPF I Corp. or any Permitted Transferee thereof that is the Selling Stockholder and that holds less than 5% of the Common Stock on an As-Converted Basis, the right (the “Co-Sale Right”) to elect to sell on such terms all or any part of that number of Shares then owned by such Investor (the “Co-Sale Shares”) equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the aggregate number of Offered Shares by (ii) a fraction the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock owned by all of the Investors (on an As-Converted Basis) and the denominator of which is the total number of shares of Common Stock owned by the Selling Stockholder and all of the Investors (on an As-Converted Basis). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Selling Shareholder is a PCP Investor, CIGPF I Corp. or a Permitted Transferee thereof and such Selling Shareholder holds less than 5% of the Common Stock on an As-Converted Basis, the Company Refusal Right and the Right of First Refusal shall be applicable to all, but not less than all, of the Offered Shares.
          (a) If the Company does not elect to purchase all of the Offered Shares within the ten (10) day period specified above, the Selling Stockholders shall promptly give written notice to the Investors setting forth the number of Offered Shares not purchased by the Company (the “Remaining Shares”). The Remaining Shares shall be allocated among the Investors who have exercised the Right of First Refusal (the “Participating Investors”) as follows: there shall first be allocated to each Participating Investor a number of Remaining Shares equal to the lesser of (i) the number of Remaining Shares which the Participating Investor has elected to purchase and (ii) such Participating Investor’s Refusal Right Pro Rata Share (as defined below) of the Remaining Shares. The balance of the Remaining Shares which the Participating Investors have elected to purchase shall be allocated to the Participating Investors who have elected to purchase more than their Refusal Right Pro Rata Share of the Remaining Shares pro rata based on the number of Remaining Shares which each Participating Investor has elected to purchase in excess of such Participating Investor’s Refusal Right Pro Rata Share of the Remaining Shares. Each Participating Investor’s “Refusal Right Pro Rata Share” shall be equal to the fraction (i) the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock owned by such Participating Investor (on an As-Converted Basis) and (ii) the denominator of which is the total number of shares of Common Stock owned by all of the Participating Investors (on an As-Converted Basis). In the event the Company or the Participating Investors do not elect to purchase all of the Offered Shares of a Selling Shareholder that is a PCP Investor, CIGPF I Corp. or a Permitted Transferee thereof and who holds less than 5% of the Common Stock on an As-Converted Basis, then none of the Offered Shares shall be subject to any purchase rights of the Company or any Investor.

 


 

          (b) Except with respect to a Selling Shareholder that is a PCP Investor, CIGPF I Corp. or a Permitted Transferee thereof and that holds less than 5% of the Common Stock on an As-Converted Basis, each Investor who has exercised the Co-Sale Right (a “Co-Sale Participant”) shall be entitled to sell a number of Co-Sale Shares equal to the lesser of (a) the number of Offered Shares which the Co-Sale Participant has elected to sell and (b) such Co-Sale Participant’s Co-Sale Pro Rata Share of the Offered Shares which are not purchased by the Company pursuant to the Company Refusal Right or by the Participating Investors pursuant to the Right of First Refusal (the “Co-Sale Remaining Shares”). Each Participant’s “Co-Sale Pro Rata Share” shall be equal to the fraction (i) the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock owned by such Co-Sale Participant (on an As-Converted Basis) and (ii) the denominator of which is the total number of shares of Common Stock owned by the Selling Stockholder and all of the Investors (on As-Converted Basis). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Co-Sale Participant shall be entitled to sell any shares of (x) Series A Preferred Stock or Common Stock in a proposed Transfer of Series B Preferred Stock subject to this Article IV, or (y) Common Stock in a proposed transfer of Series A Preferred Stock subject to this Article IV.
          (c) Any proposed Transfer at a different price or on terms and conditions more favorable to the transferee(s) than specified in the Notice, or not completed within the time specified in this Section 4.2, as well as any subsequent proposed Transfer of any Shares by a Stockholder, shall again be subject to the Company Refusal Right and the Right of First Refusal and Co-Sale Rights of the Investors, and shall require compliance by the Selling Stockholder with the procedures described in this Article IV.
          (d) The exercise or non-exercise of the Right of First Refusal or the Co-Sale Rights by the Investors in respect of one or more Transfers of Shares made by any Selling Stockholder shall not adversely affect their rights to participate in subsequent Transfers of Shares subject to this Article IV.
4.3 Transfer Mechanics.
          (a) If (i) the Company and/or the Participating Investors elect to purchase all of the Offered Shares subject to the Notice or (ii) the Company and/or the Participating Investors elect to purchase less than all the Offered Shares and the prospective purchaser identified in the Notice does not agree to purchase any of the Offered Shares not so purchased, the following provisions shall apply: The Company and/or Participating Investors shall effect the purchase of the Offered Shares and/or Remaining Shares on a date specified by the Selling Stockholder by notice to the Company and/or the Participating Investors not earlier than the later of (x) ten (10) days after such notice or (y) thirty (30) days after the receipt of the Notice by the Investors. On the date of such purchase, the Selling Stockholder shall deliver to the Company and/or the Participating Investors, as applicable, the certificates representing the Shares to be purchased by the Company and/or the Participating Investors, each certificate to be properly endorsed for transfer, in exchange for payment by the Company and/or the Participating Investors, as applicable, of the purchase price for the Shares.
          (b) If (i) the Company and the Participating Investors do not elect to purchase any of the Offered Shares or (ii) the Company and/or the Participating Investors elect to purchase less than all of the Offered Shares and the prospective purchaser agrees to purchase less than all

 


 

of the Offered Shares, the following provisions shall apply: The Selling Stockholder may, not later than forty (40) days following delivery to the Company and each of the Investors of the Notice, enter into an agreement providing for the closing of the Transfer to the third party purchaser(s) identified in the Notice of any Offered Shares with respect to which neither the Company Refusal Right nor the Right of First Refusal has been exercised, together with the closing of the purchase of any Shares to be sold by any Co-Sale Participant, such purchase to occur within thirty (30) days of such agreement at a price and on terms and conditions no more favorable to the transferee(s) thereof than specified in the Notice. Simultaneously with such purchase there shall occur the purchase of any Shares with respect to which the Company Refusal Right or the Right of First Refusal has been exercised. On the date of such purchase, each Co-Sale Participant shall be paid that portion of the sale proceeds to which such Co-Sale Participant is entitled by reason of its participation in such sale and the Company and/or each Participating Investor, as applicable, shall pay the Selling Stockholder the purchase price to be paid by such Person for the Offered Shares purchased by them. Upon receipt of such payment, each Co-Sale Participant shall promptly deliver to the Selling Stockholder for Transfer to the prospective purchaser(s) and, if applicable, the Selling Stockholder shall deliver to the Company and/or the Participating Investors, one or more certificates properly endorsed for transfer which represent the Shares to be sold by each such Person pursuant to this Article IV. To the extent that any prospective purchaser or purchasers prohibits such assignment or otherwise refuses to purchase Shares from a Co-Sale Participant exercising its Co-Sale Rights hereunder, such Selling Stockholder shall not sell to such prospective purchaser or purchasers any Shares unless and until, simultaneously with such sale, such Selling Stockholder shall purchase such Shares from such Co-Sale Participant on the same terms and conditions specified in the Notice.
          (c) If the consideration to be paid for the Shares by the third party purchaser shall be other than cash, the Company or the Participating Investors, as applicable, exercising the Company Refusal Right or the Right of First Refusal may in lieu of such consideration pay cash equal to the fair market value of such consideration as mutually agreed between the Selling Stockholder and the holders of a majority of the Shares as to which the Right of First Refusal and Company Refusal Right have been exercised. If such mutual agreement cannot be reached, the Appraisal Procedure set forth in the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation shall be followed mutatis mutandis and the time periods in Article 4.2 shall be extended by the time needed to determine such fair value.
ARTICLE V
GENERAL PROVISIONS CONCERNING TRANSFERS
5.1 Exempt Transfers.
          (a) A Stockholder may Transfer Shares without complying with the provisions of Article IV if such Transfer is to any Permitted Transferee; provided that in the event of any Transfer made pursuant to this Section 5.1, (A) the Transferring Stockholder shall inform the Company and the Investors of such Transfer prior to effecting it, and (B) the transferee shall furnish the Company with a written agreement, reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to be bound by and comply with all provisions of this Agreement as if such transferee

 


 

were a Common Stockholder, Investor or Excluded Investor, as the case may be, based on the status of the Transferring Stockholder. Such Transferred Shares shall remain Shares hereunder.
          (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of Article IV hereof shall not apply to the sale of any Shares to the public pursuant to a registration statement filed with, and declared effective by, the Securities and Exchange Commission under Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).
5.2 [Reserved]
5.3 [Reserved]
5.4 Transfers to Competitors. Any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, other than in connection with a Sale of the Company, prior to a Qualified Public Offering, no Transfer of Shares may be made by any Stockholder to a Competitor.
5.5 Stockholder Lockup Agreements in Connection with Initial Public Offering. Each Stockholder agrees that, subject to any early release provisions that apply generally to stockholders of the Company, it will not, if reasonably requested by the managing underwriter, for a period of up to 180 days following the effective date of the registration statement for an initial public offering directly or indirectly sell, offer to sell, grant any option for the sale of, or otherwise dispose of any Common Stock or securities convertible into Common Stock, except for (i) Registrable Securities (as defined in the Investor Rights Agreement) sold pursuant to such registration statement, (ii) transactions relating to Common Stock or other securities acquired in open market transactions after the completion of the initial public offering, and (iii) Transfers to Affiliates, partners, members and stockholders of such Stockholder (each of whom shall have furnished to the Company and the managing underwriter their written consent to be bound by this Agreement and the Investor Rights Agreement), provided that the Company’s officers, directors and all holders of more than 1% of the shares of Common Stock (calculated for this purpose as if all securities convertible into or exercisable for Common Stock, directly or indirectly, are so converted or exercised) of the Company enter such lockup agreements for the same period and on the same terms, and provided further that any waiver or termination of the prohibitions contained in this Section 5.5 by the Company or any underwriter shall apply to each Stockholder.
5.6 Consequences of Prohibited Transfer. Any attempt by a Stockholder to Transfer Shares in violation of the terms of this Agreement shall be void, and the Company agrees that it will not effect such a Transfer nor will it treat any alleged transferee as the holder of such Shares.
ARTICLE VI
DRAG ALONG RIGHTS
6.1 Drag Along Rights.
          (a) In the event that the Required Holders (the “Proposing Stockholders”) agree to and accept an offer from a third party or third parties not Affiliated with any Proposing Stockholder (a “Buyer”) to consummate a transaction or series of related transactions with such Buyer pursuant to which such Buyer would acquire all of the Shares held by such Proposing Stockholders for a specified price payable in cash, securities or other consideration and on

 


 

specified terms and conditions, the remaining Stockholders (the “Non Proposing Stockholders”) shall be required, if so demanded by the Proposing Stockholders (a “Drag Along Notice”), to sell all of their Shares to such Buyer in such transaction(s) and to participate in such transaction(s) (a “Drag Along Sale”), notwithstanding any other rights of co-sale, rights of first refusal or other rights in this Agreement or otherwise.
          (b) The provisions of this Article VI shall apply regardless of the form of consideration received in the Drag Along Sale, and each Non Proposing Stockholder shall (i) if the Drag Along Sale is structured as a merger or consolidation, waive any dissenters’ rights, appraisal rights or similar rights in connection with such merger or consolidation, or (ii) if the Drag Along Sale is structured as a sale, agree to sell all of its Shares on the terms and conditions approved by the Proposing Stockholders. Each participating Stockholder in any Drag Along Sale (a) shall be subject to the same terms and conditions, and (b) shall execute such documents and take such actions as may be reasonably required by the Company and the Proposing Stockholders.
          (c) Upon the consummation of the Drag Along Sale, each holder of any class or series of Shares (i) shall receive the same form of consideration and the same amount of consideration per share of Common Stock (on an As-Converted Basis) as every other holder of any class or series of Shares, except to the extent otherwise approved in connection with Section 2 of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company, as amended from time to time, and (ii) shall be given the same option, if any, as any other holders of any other class or series of Shares as to the form of consideration to be received.
6.2 Transfer Mechanics; Further Assurances.
          (a) At least five (5) days prior to the date of consummation of a Drag Along Sale (which date and the place and time of such consummation shall be designated by the Proposing Stockholders and provided to each Non Proposing Stockholder in the Drag Along Notice), each Non Proposing Stockholder shall deliver for transfer to the Buyer one or more certificates, properly endorsed for transfer in form satisfactory to the Proposing Stockholders, which represent all of the Equity Securities of the Company held by such Non Proposing Stockholder, duly executed and free and clear of any liens. The certificate(s) delivered by each Other Stockholder shall be transferred to the Buyer identified in the Drag Along Notice as part of the consummation of the Drag Along Sale. Upon receipt of the proceeds of the Drag Along Sale, the Proposing Stockholders shall promptly remit to each Non Proposing Stockholder that portion of such proceeds to which such Non Proposing Stockholder is entitled by reason of such Non Proposing Stockholder’s participation in such sale.
          (b) In connection with a Drag Along Sale, each participating Stockholder agrees to execute and deliver such agreements as may be reasonably specified by the Proposing Stockholders to which such Proposing Stockholders will also be party, on the same terms, including, without limitation, agreements to (a) (i) make individual representations, warranties, covenants and other agreements as to the unencumbered title to its Shares and the power, authority and legal right to Transfer such Shares and to enter into the agreements relating thereto and the absence of any adverse claim with respect to such Shares (but shall not be required to make individual representations or warranties with respect to any of the Company’s operations, activities, financial condition or other characteristics) and (ii) be liable without limitation as to

 


 

such individual representations, warranties, covenants and other agreements and (b) be liable (whether by purchase price adjustment, indemnity payments or otherwise) in respect of representations, warranties, covenants and agreements in respect of the Company; provided, however, that the aggregate amount of liability described in this clause (b) in connection with any sale of Shares shall not exceed the lesser of (i) such participating Stockholder’s pro rata portion of any such liability, to be determined in accordance with such participating Stockholder’s portion of the total number of Shares included in such Drag Along Sale (on an As-Converted Basis) or (ii) the proceeds to such participating Stockholder in connection with such Drag Along Sale.
