  2. Stock Fully Paid; Reservation of Shares; Stock Dividends, Subdivisions, and Combinations; Reorganization, Reclassification, Merger, Consolidation or Disposition of Assets.

(b) As a condition of transfer to an Affiliate or to a transferee approved by the Company in accordance with Subsection 3(a)

 

- 4 -


(either an “Approved Transferee”) such Approved Transferee shall agree (i) to execute and deliver joinder agreements, in form acceptable to the Company, agreeing to be bound by the provisions of the: (y) Amended and Restated Stockholders Agreement, dated as of March 15, 2005, as amended, among the Company and the stockholders of the Company named therein (the “Stockholders Agreement”); and (z) the Amended and Restated Investors’ Rights Agreement, dated as of March 15, 2005, as amended, among the Company and the investors in the Company named therein (the “Rights Agreement”, and with the Stockholders Agreement, the “Investor Agreements”), in each case upon the exercise of this Warrant in whole or in part; and (ii) that to the extent that the triggers enumerated in this Warrant require the performance by Motorola of a particular action, performance of that action by an entity other than Motorola will not activate such triggers and will not entitle the Approved Transferee to exercise the Warrant thereunder, without the consent of the Company.

(c) The Warrantholder acknowledges that it is a party to the Investor Agreements.

(d) The Company need not register a transfer of this Warrant unless the conditions specified in the legend on the front page hereof and Sections 3(a) and 3(b) hereof are satisfied. Subject to the satisfaction of such conditions, any transfer of this Warrant and all rights hereunder, in whole or in part, shall be registered on the books of the Company to be maintained for such purpose, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company, or the office or agency designated by the Company, together with a written assignment of this Warrant substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto duly executed by Warrantholder or its agent or attorney and funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes payable upon the making of such transfer. Upon such surrender and, if required, such payment, the Company shall, subject to the conditions set forth in the legend and Sections 3(a) and 3(b) hereof, execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees and in the denomination specified in such instrument of assignment, and shall issue to the assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant not so assigned, and this Warrant shall promptly be canceled. A Warrant, if properly assigned, may be exercised by a new holder for the purchase of the Shares without having a new Warrant issued.

(e) Subject to the conditions set forth in the legend and Sections 3(a) and 3(b) hereof, this Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants upon presentation hereof at the aforesaid office or agency of the Company, together with a written notice specifying

 

- 5 -


the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued, signed by Warrantholder or its agent or attorney. Subject to compliance with this Section 3 as to any transfer which may be involved in such division or combination, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in exchange for the Warrant or Warrants to be divided or combined in accordance with such notice.

(f) The Company shall prepare, issue and deliver at its own expense (other than transfer taxes) the new Warrant or Warrants under this Section 3.

(g) The Company agrees to maintain, at its aforesaid office or agency, books for the registration and the registration of transfer of the Warrants.

(h) Each certificate or other instrument for Shares issued upon the exercise of this Warrant shall bear a legend substantially similar to the legend on the front page hereof and as the Investor Agreements shall require. Certificates evidencing the Shares issued upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be delivered to the Warrantholder within seven (7) days following due exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the terms hereof.

(i) The Company hereby acknowledges that exercise of this Warrant by Warrantholder may subject the Company and/or the Warrantholder to the filing requirements of the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the “HSR Act”) and that Warrantholder may be prevented from exercising this Warrant until the expiration or early termination of all waiting periods imposed by the HSR Act (“HSR Act Restrictions”). If, on or before the expiration of this Warrant, Warrantholder has sent the Notice of Exercise to Company and Warrantholder has not been able to complete the exercise of this Warrant prior to its expiration because of HSR Act Restrictions, the Warrantholder shall be entitled to complete the process of exercising this Warrant in accordance with the procedures contained herein notwithstanding the fact that completion of the exercise of this Warrant would take place after the expiration of the Warrant.

 

  4. Rights, Preferences, Privileges and Restrictions of Series B Preferred Stock. The Shares of Series B Stock shall have the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions set forth in the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (the “Charter”), as such Charter may be further amended from time to time in accordance with its provisions. To the extent the Warrantholder holds or may exercise registration rights with respect to the shares of Series B Stock it holds in the Company, the Warrant Shares, to the extent exercised, shall be included in any exercise of such registration rights and the Company agrees to include the Warrant Shares in any exercise of the Warrantholder’s registration rights.

  5. Notices. Upon any adjustment of the Warrant Price and increase or decrease in the number of Shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant, then, and in each such case, the Company, within thirty (30) days thereafter, shall give written notice thereof to Warrantholder at the address of such holder as shown on the books of the Company, which notice shall state the Warrant Price and the increased or decreased number of Shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant, setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation of each. The Company shall also provide the Warrantholder with at least twenty (20) days advance written notice before the occurrence of any IPO.

 

  6. Representations and Warranties of Warrantholder. Warrantholder represents and warrants that (a) it is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501 under the Act; (b) it will acquire this Warrant for its own account and that this Warrant is being and will be acquired by it for the purpose of investment and not with a view to distribution or resale thereof in violation of the Act; and (c) it has taken no action that would give rise to any claim by any other Person for any brokerage commissions, finders’ fees or the like relating to this Warrant. Warrantholder further represents that it understands and agrees that until this Warrant or any Shares held by it are registered under the Act or transferred pursuant to the provisions of Rule 144 under the Act, all certificates evidencing this Warrant or any of such Shares shall bear a legend, prominently stamped or printed thereon, substantially similar to the legend on the front page hereof.

 

  7. Miscellaneous.

(a) The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available, solely for the purpose of issue upon the exercise hereof, a sufficient number of shares of Series B Stock to permit the exercise hereof in full and a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to permit the conversion of such shares acquired upon Warrant exercise. Such shares when issued in compliance with the provisions of this Warrant and the Company’s Charter, as amended, will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

(b) In the event the Series B Stock of the Company is converted or exchanged into another series of preferred stock of the Company or other securities of the Company, this Warrant will automatically be exercisable for the security in which the Series B Stock is converted or exchanged and at the same conversion or exchange rate (e.g., if each share of Series B Stock is converted into two shares of another series of preferred stock of the Company, this Warrant will be exercisable for 2,288,260 shares of that series of preferred stock and all the vesting share amounts would be doubled).

(c) The terms of this Warrant shall be binding and shall inure to the benefit of any successors or permitted assigns of the Company and of Warrantholder.

(d) No Warrantholder, as such, shall be entitled to vote or receive dividends or be deemed to be a stockholder of the Company for any purpose, nor shall anything contained

in this Warrant be construed to confer upon the holder of this Warrant, as such, any rights of a stockholder of the Company or any right to vote, give or withhold consent to any corporate action, receive notice of meetings, receive dividends or subscription rights, or otherwise.

(e) Receipt of this Warrant by Warrantholder shall constitute acceptance of and agreement to the foregoing terms and conditions.

(f) The Company will not, by amendment of its Charter or through any other means, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the holder of this Warrant against impairment.

(g) Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and, in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction, upon delivery of an indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory in form and amount to the Company or, in the case of any such mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant, the Company at its expense will execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a new Warrant of like date and tenor.

(h) If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Warrant is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Warrant shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated.

(i) Neither this Warrant nor any term hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated orally but only by an instrument in writing signed by the party against which enforcement of the change, waiver, discharge or termination is sought.

(j) This Warrant shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware.

(k) For purposes of this Warrant:
