1.2 Demand Registration.

(a) If the Company shall receive, at any time after the earlier of (i) the effective date of the registration statement for a Qualified IPO or (ii) October 14, 2023, a written request from the record Holder(s) of a majority of the shares of Preferred Stock then outstanding, including Common Stock issued on conversion of Preferred Stock, and the shares of Conversion Common Stock then outstanding, voting together (on a combined and as-if converted basis) (the “Initiating Holders”), that the Company file a registration statement under the Securities Act (the “Registration Request”), then the Company shall:

(i) within 10 days of the receipt of the Registration Request, give written notice of such request to all Holders that such registration is to be effected (the “Registration Notice”); and

(ii) use its best efforts to effect as soon as practicable, and in any event within 90 days of the receipt of the Registration Request, the registration under the Securities Act of all Registrable Securities that the Holders request to be registered in the Registration Request and such additional Registrable Securities for which it has received written requests to register by such other Holders within 45 days after delivery of the Registration Notice, subject to the limitations of subsection 1.2(b).

 

4


(b) If the Company is required to use Form S-1 (or similar forms promulgated after the date hereof), the Company shall be obligated to (i) proceed with filing the registration statement only if the registration to be effected pursuant to the Registration Request has anticipated aggregate gross offering proceeds of at least $10,000,000 and (ii) prepare, file and cause to become effective, at the sole expense of the Company, no more than two (2) registration statements on Form S-1 (or similar forms promulgated after the date hereof) pursuant to Registration Requests made under this Section 1.2. Once the Company has prepared, filed and caused to become effective two (2) registrations on Form S-1, at its sole expense, it shall still be obligated to comply with this Section 1.2, but the expense of any such registration shall be borne by the Holders participating in such registration.

(c) If the Initiating Holders intend to distribute the Registrable Securities covered by such request by means of an underwriting, they shall so advise the Company as a part of their Registration Request and the Company shall include such information in the Registration Notice. The underwriter will be selected by the Company and a majority in interest of the Initiating Holders. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 1.2, if the underwriter advises the participating Holders in writing that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten, then the number of shares of Registrable Securities that may be included in the underwriting shall be allocated pro rata among all participating Holders according to the total amount of securities entitled to be included therein owned by such Holders; provided, however, that the number of shares of Registrable Securities to be included in such underwriting shall not be reduced unless all other securities are first entirely excluded from the underwriting.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company shall furnish to Holders requesting a registration statement pursuant to this Section 1.2 within thirty (30) days of the Registration Request a certificate signed by the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company stating that (i) the Company pursuant to an action approved by the Board already has a present plan to commence preparation of a registration statement, other than a Special Registration Statement, and to file the same within ninety (90) days, or (ii) in the good faith judgment of the Board, it would be seriously detrimental to the Company and its stockholders for such registration statement to be filed on or before the date filing would be required and it is therefore essential to defer the filing of such registration statement, the Company shall have the right to defer taking action with respect to such filing for a period of not more than 60 days from the date of the certificate required herein; provided, however, that the Company may not utilize this right more than twice in any 12-month period.

(e) In the event that the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities for which registration has been requested pursuant to this Section 1.2 determine for any reason not to proceed with a registration at any time before a registration statement has been declared effective by the Commission, and such registration statement, if theretofore filed with the Commission, is withdrawn with respect to the Registrable Securities covered thereby, and, unless the withdrawal is based on a material adverse change in the condition, business or prospects of the Company from that known to the Holders at the time of their registration request, the Holders of such Registrable Securities agree to bear their own expenses incurred in connection therewith and to reimburse the Company for the expenses incurred by it attributable to the registration of such Registrable Securities, and, if such Holders in fact so reimburse the Company, then the Holders of such Registrable Securities shall not be deemed to have exercised their right to require the Company to register Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 1.2.

 

5


(f) In addition, the Company shall not be obligated to effect, or to take any action to effect, any registration pursuant to this Section 1.2:

(i) during the period starting with the date of filing of, and ending on a date 180 days after the effective date of, a registration filed in connection with the Company’s Qualified IPO of its Common Stock; provided that the Company is actively employing in good faith all reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective; or

(ii) if the Initiating Holders propose to dispose of shares of Registrable Securities that may be immediately registered on Form S-3 pursuant to a request made pursuant to Section 1.11 below.

(g) If, at the time a Registration Request is received by the Company, the Company has already determined to proceed with the actual preparation and filing of a registration statement under the Securities Act in connection with the Company’s proposed offer and sale for cash of its securities, the Registration Request shall be deemed to have been given pursuant to Section 1.3 rather than this Section 1.2, and the rights and obligations of the Holders and the Company with respect to the Registration Request shall be governed by Section 1.3 hereof.

1.3 Company Registration.

(a) Each time the Company shall determine to proceed with the actual preparation and filing of a registration statement under the Securities Act in connection with the proposed offer and sale for cash of any of its securities by it or any of its security holders (other than a registration on a form that does not permit the inclusion of shares by its security holders), the Company shall give written notice of its determination to all record Holders of Registrable Securities (a “Participation Notice”). Upon the written request of a record Holder of any Registrable Securities given within thirty (30) days after receipt of a Participation Notice, the Company will, except as herein provided, cause all such Registrable Securities, the record Holders of which have so requested registration thereof, to be included in such registration statement. If any registration pursuant to this Section 1.3 shall be underwritten in whole or in part, the Company may require that the Registrable Securities requested for inclusion pursuant to this Section 1.3 be included in the underwriting on the same terms and conditions as the securities otherwise being sold through the underwriters.

(b) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prevent the Company from, at any time, abandoning or delaying any such registration initiated by it without any liability to the Holders of Registrable Securities. If the Company determines not to proceed with a registration after the registration statement has been filed with the Commission and the Company’s decision not to proceed is primarily based upon the anticipated public offering price of the securities to be sold by the Company, the Company shall promptly complete the registration for the benefit of those selling security Holders who wish to proceed with a public offering of their securities and who bear all expenses incurred by the Company as the result of such registration arising after the Company has decided not to proceed.

 

6


(c) If, in the good faith judgment of the Company and its underwriter of such public offering, the inclusion of all of the Registrable Securities originally covered by a request for registration would interfere with the successful marketing of the shares of stock offered by the Company, then the number of shares of Registrable Securities that may be included in the underwriting shall be reduced, pro rata among the Holders participating in the offering according to the total amount of securities entitled to be included therein owned by the Holders; provided, however, that such number of shares of Registrable Securities shall not be reduced until any shares to be included in such underwriting for the account of any person other than the Company or the requesting Holders have been completely eliminated from the registration, and provided, further, that the number of shares of Registrable Securities shall not be reduced below an amount equal to 30% of the total number of shares to be included in the registration unless the underwriting is in connection with the Company’s Qualified IPO, in which case all shares may be excluded.

1.4 Obligations of the Company. Whenever required under this Section 1 to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities under the Securities Act, the Company shall, as expeditiously as reasonably possible:

(a) prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement with respect to such Registrable Securities and use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective as soon as practicable, and keep such registration statement effective for such period as may be necessary to effect the sale of such Registrable Securities registered thereunder;

(b) prepare and file with the Commission such amendments to such registration statement and supplements to the prospectus contained therein as may be necessary to keep such registration statement effective for such period as may be necessary to effect the sale of such Registrable Securities registered thereunder;

(c) furnish to each Holder of Registrable Securities participating in such registration and to the underwriters such numbers of copies of the registration statement, preliminary prospectus, final prospectus (each in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act), and such other documents as they may reasonably request in order to facilitate the public offering of such Registrable Securities;

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

(e) notify each Holder of Registrable Securities participating in such registration and the special counsel to the Holders (as described in Section 1.6 below) promptly after the Company receives notice, of the time when the registration statement with respect to such Registrable Securities has become effective or a supplement to any prospectus forming part of such registration statement has been filed;

 

7


(f) notify such Holders participating in such registration promptly of any request by the Commission for the amending or supplementing of such registration statement or prospectus or for additional information;

(g) prepare and file with the Commission, promptly upon the request of any such Holders participating in such registration, any amendments or supplements to such registration statement or prospectus which, in the opinion of counsel for such Holders (and concurred in by counsel for the Company), is required under the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder in connection with the distribution of the Registrable Securities to the public by such Holder;

(h) prepare and promptly file with the Commission, and promptly notify such Holders of the filing of, such amendment or supplement to such registration statement or prospectus as may be necessary to correct any statements or omissions if, at the time when a prospectus relating to such securities is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, any event shall have occurred as the result of which any such prospectus or any other prospectus, as then in effect, would include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading;

(i) not file any amendment or supplement to such registration statement or prospectus to which a majority in interest of such Holders shall have reasonably objected on the grounds that such amendment or supplement does not comply in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act or the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, after having been furnished with a copy thereof at least two (2) business days prior to the filing thereof, unless in the opinion of counsel for the Company the filing of such amendment or supplement is reasonably necessary to protect the Company from any liabilities under any applicable federal or state law and such filing will not violate applicable law;

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

(k) notify each Holder of Registrable Securities participating in such registration and the special counsel to the Holders (as described in Section 1.6 below) at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing;

(l) provide to the special counsel to the Holders (as described in Section 1.6 below), without charge and at least 5 days prior to filing with the Commission, such registration statement and any amendment or supplement to such registration statement, for review; and negotiate in good faith with the special counsel toward resolving any reasonable objection of the special counsel on the grounds that such registration statement or any amendment or supplement

 

8


to such registration statement or prospectus does not comply in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act or the rules and regulations promulgated under the Securities Act prior to filing such registration statement, amendment or supplement, unless in the opinion of counsel for the Company filing of such registration statement, amendment or supplement is reasonably necessary to protect the Company from liability under any applicable federal or state securities law;

(m) provide to the special counsel to the Holders (as described in Section 1.6 below), without charge, copies of any correspondence between the Company and the Commission or its staff relating to the filing or effectiveness of such registration statement;

(n) cause all Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement to be listed on each securities exchange on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed;

(o) provide a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement and a CUSIP number for all such Registrable Securities, in each case not later than the effective date of such registration;

(p) notify each Holder of Registrable Securities participating in such registration and the special counsel to the Holders (as described in Section 1.6 below) promptly after the Company receives (i) notice, or obtains knowledge thereof, of the issuance of any stop order by the SEC suspending the effectiveness of a registration statement or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for that purpose, or (ii) any notification with respect to the suspension, or threatened suspension, of the registration or qualification of any Registrable Securities under the state securities or Blue Sky laws of any jurisdiction, and, promptly use the Company’s commercially reasonable efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or suspension of registration or qualification, or to obtain withdrawal of any stop order or suspension of registration or qualification if issued; and

(q) at the request of any Holder of Registrable Securities participating in such registration pursuant to this Section 1, furnish (i) an opinion, dated as of the closing date of the offering, of the counsel representing the Company for the purposes of such registration, in form and substance as is customarily given to underwriters in an underwritten public offering, addressed to the underwriters, if any, and to the Holders requesting registration of Registrable Securities, and (ii) letters, dated as of the effective date of the registration statement and as of the closing date of the offering, from the independent certified public accountants of the Company, in form and substance as is customarily given by independent certified public accountants to underwriters in an underwritten public offering, addressed to the underwriters, if any, and to the Holders requesting registration of Registrable Securities.

1.5 Furnish Information. It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to take any action pursuant to this Section 1 with respect to the Registrable Securities of any selling Holder that such Holder shall furnish to the Company such information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it and the intended method of disposition of such securities as shall be required to effect the registration of such Holder’s Registrable Securities.

1.6 Expenses of Registration.

(a) Demand Registration. The Company shall bear all of the expenses incurred in connection with registrations, filing or qualifications pursuant to Section 1.2, including without limitation all registration, filing and qualification fees, printer’s and accounting fees, and fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay (i) any underwriter’s commissions or discounts or transfer taxes related to the proposed offer and sale of Registrable Securities for the account of the Holders thereof, (ii) fees and expenses of special counsel, if any, for the selling Holders, or (iii) expenses of any registration proceeding begun pursuant to Section 1.2 if (A) the registration request is subsequently withdrawn at the request of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities to be registered (in which case all participating Holders shall bear such expenses), unless the withdrawal is based upon material adverse information concerning the Company of which the Initiating Holders were not aware at the time of such request or (B) the Company has already effected two registrations, at its expense, pursuant to Section 1.2.

(b) Company Registration. The Company shall bear and pay all expenses of the Holders incurred in connection with any registration, filing or qualification of Registrable Securities with respect to registrations pursuant to Section 1.3 in which the Company is selling any of its securities in such registration, including without limitation all registration, filing and qualification fees, and printers and accounting fees relating or apportionable thereto, fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company and fees and expenses of one special counsel, if any, to the selling Holders; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any underwriter’s commissions or discounts or transfer taxes related to the proposed offer and sale of Registrable Securities for the account of the Holders thereof. If the Company is not selling any of its securities in such registration, however, all expenses incurred in connection with any registration, filing or qualification of Registrable Securities with respect to registration pursuant to Section 1.3 shall be borne by the selling Holders.

1.7 Underwriting Requirements. In connection with any offering involving an underwriting of shares of the Company’s capital stock, the Company shall not be required under Section 1.3 to include any of the Holders’ securities in such underwriting unless such Holders accept the terms of the underwriting as agreed upon between the Company and the underwriters selected by it (or by other persons entitled to select the underwriters), and then only in such quantity as the underwriters determine in their sole discretion will not jeopardize the success of the offering by the Company.

1.8 Delay of Registration. No Holder shall have any right to obtain or seek an injunction restraining or otherwise delaying any such registration as the result of any controversy that might arise with respect to the interpretation or implementation of this Section 1.

1.9 Indemnification. In the event any Registrable Securities are included in a registration statement under this Section 1:

 

10


(a) To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, each of its officers, directors, partners and legal counsel, any underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act) for such Holder and each Person, if any, who controls or is deemed to control such Holder or underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, against, and will reimburse such Holder and each such underwriter and controlling Person with respect to, any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities (joint or several) to which they may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or other federal or state law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any of the following statements, omissions or violations (collectively a “Violation”): (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in such registration statement, including any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or any amendments or supplements thereto or free writing prospectuses issued in connect therewith; (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading; or (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any state securities law or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any state securities law; and the Company will pay to each such Holder, underwriter or controlling Person, as incurred, any legal or other costs and expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this subsection 1.9(a) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), nor shall the Company be liable in any such case for any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action to the extent that it arises out of or is based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished expressly for use in connection with such registration by such Holder, underwriter or controlling Person.

(b) To the fullest extent permitted by law, each selling Holder of Registrable Securities which is included in the registration statement pursuant to the provisions hereof will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who has signed the registration statement, the Company’s legal counsel, each Person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, any underwriter, any other Holder selling securities in such registration statement and any controlling person of any such underwriter or other Holder against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (joint or several) to which any of the foregoing persons may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or other federal or state law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereto) arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in each case to the extent (and only to the extent) that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by such Holder expressly for use in connection with such registration; and each such Holder will pay, as incurred, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by any person intended to be indemnified pursuant to this subsection 1.9(b) in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this subsection 1.9(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Holder, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; and provided that, in no event shall any indemnity under this subsection 1.9(b) exceed the net proceeds from the offering received by such Holder.

 

11


(c) Promptly after receipt by a party entitled to indemnification under this Section 1.9 (each, an “Indemnified Party”) of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action) involving the subject matter of the foregoing indemnification provisions, such Indemnified Party will, if a claim is to be made against the party obligated to provide indemnification pursuant to this Section 1.9 (each, an “Indemnifying Party”), deliver to the Indemnifying Party a written notice of the commencement thereof and the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the Indemnifying Party so desires, jointly with any other Indemnifying Party similarly noticed, to assume the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the parties; provided, however, that an Indemnified Party (together with all other Indemnified Parties which may be represented without conflict by one counsel) shall have the right to retain one separate counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid by the Indemnifying Party, if representation of such Indemnified Party by the counsel retained by the Indemnifying Party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such Indemnified Party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The failure to deliver written notice to the Indemnifying Party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action, if materially prejudicial to its ability to defend such action, shall relieve such Indemnifying Party of any liability to the Indemnified Party under this Section 1.9 to the extent of such prejudice, but the omission to deliver written notice to the Indemnifying Party will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any Indemnified Party otherwise than under this Section 1.9.

(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 1.9 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an Indemnified Party with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense referred to therein, then the Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party hereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and of the Indemnified Party, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and of the Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Indemnifying Party or by the Indemnified Party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission; provided that in no event shall any contribution by a Holder hereunder exceed the net proceeds from the offering received by such Holder.

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

(f) The obligations of the Company and Holders under this Section 1.9 shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in a registration statement under this Section 1 and otherwise.

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

(a) make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act, at all times after 90 days after the effective date of the first registration statement filed by the Company for the offering of its securities to the general public;

 

12


(b) take such action, including the voluntary registration of its Common Stock under Section 12 of the Exchange Act, as is necessary to enable the Holders to utilize Form S-3 for the sale of their Registrable Securities, such action to be taken as soon as practicable after the end of the fiscal year in which the first registration statement filed by the Company for the offering of its securities to the general public is declared effective;

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

(d) furnish to any Holder, so long as the Holder owns any Registrable Securities, forthwith upon request (i) a written statement by the Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements of Rule 144 under the Securities Act (at any time after 90 days after the effective date of the first registration statement filed by the Company), the Securities Act and the Exchange Act (at any time after it has become subject to such reporting requirements), or that it qualifies as a registrant whose securities may be resold pursuant to Form S-3 (at any time after it so qualifies), (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company and (iii) such other information as may be reasonably requested in availing any Holder of any rule or regulation of the Commission which permits the selling of any such securities without registration or pursuant to such form.

1.11 Form S-3 Registration. In case the Company shall receive a written request from the record Holder(s) of at least 10% of Registrable Securities then outstanding that the Company effect a registration on Form S-3 (or any equivalent successor form) and any related qualification or compliance with respect to all or a part of the Registrable Securities owned by such Holder or Holders, the Company will:

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

(b) as soon as practicable, effect such registration and all such qualifications and compliances as may be so requested and as would permit or facilitate the sale and distribution of all or such portion of the Registrable Securities as are specified in such request, together with all or such portion of the Registrable Securities of any other Holder or Holders joining in such request as are specified in a written request given within 15 days after receipt of such written notice from the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to effect any such registration, qualification or compliance, pursuant to this Section 1.11 if: (i) the registration to be effected does not have anticipated aggregate gross offering proceeds of at least $1,000,000, (ii) the Company has already prepared, filed and caused to become effective, at the sole expense of the Company, two (2) registration statements on Form S-3 (or similar forms promulgated after the date hereof) pursuant to requests made under this Section 1.11 in the preceding twelve (12) months, (iii) Form S-3 (or any equivalent successor form) is not available for such offering by the Holders; (iv) the Company shall furnish to the Holders within thirty (30) days of receipt of the notice given

 

13


pursuant to Section 1.11(a) a certificate signed by the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board, it would be seriously detrimental to the Company and its stockholders for such Form S-3 registration statement to be effected at such time, in which event the Company shall have the right to defer the filing of the Form S-3 registration statement for a period of not more than 60 days after receipt of the request of the Holder or Holders under this Section 1.11; provided, however, that the Company shall not utilize this right to defer more than twice in any 12-month period; or (v) in any particular jurisdiction in which the Company would be required to qualify to do business or to execute a general consent to service of process in effecting such registration, qualification or compliance; and

(c) pay all expenses incurred in connection with a registration requested pursuant to this Section 1.11, including without limitation all registration, filing, qualification, printer’s and accounting fees, fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company and up to $30,000 for one special counsel of the selling stockholders; provided, however, the Company will not be required to pay underwriter’s commissions or discount or transfer taxes or fees, if any, for the selling Holders. Registrations effected pursuant to this Section 1.11 shall not be counted as demands for registration or registrations effected pursuant to Section 1.2 or Section 1.3, respectively.

1.12 Assignment of Registration Rights. The rights to cause the Company to register Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 1 may be transferred or assigned (but only with all related obligations) by a Holder to a transferee or assignee of such securities, provided: (a) the Company is, within ten days after such transfer, furnished with written notice of the name and address of such transferee or assignee and the securities with respect to which such registration rights are being assigned; (b) such transferee or assignee is not a competitor of the Company, (c) such assignment shall be effective only if immediately following such transfer the further disposition of such securities by the transferee or assignee is restricted under the Securities Act; (d) such transferee or assignee owns at least 20,000 shares of the Company’s capital stock following the transfer or assignment; (e) such transferee or assignee acquires at least twenty-five percent (25%) of the shares held by such transferring Holder immediately prior to the transfer (or Common Stock issued upon conversion of such Preferred Stock); (f) such transferee or assignee agrees in writing, by executing a joinder to this Agreement, to be bound by and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the provisions of Section 1.14 below; and (g) such transferee is a transferee permitted in Section 4.1 of this Agreement. The transfer of registration rights to a limited or general partner of any Holder, or an Affiliate of such Holder, will be without restriction as to any minimum number of shares of Preferred Stock held by such Holder. SRI hereby covenants to the Company and the Preferred Holders that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or the Tenth Amended and Restated Voting, Right of First Refusal and Co-Sale Agreement of even date herewith, (i) all officers, directors, or key employees of SRI who have received a stock option to purchase shares of the Company’s Common Stock held by SRI (an “Option Award”) or a stock bonus of shares of the Company’s Common Stock held by SRI (a “Bonus Award”) under the Sarnoff Corporation 2002 Incentive Plan II (the “SRI Plan”) to date are listed on Exhibit A to this Agreement (each a “SRI Employee” and, collectively, the “SRI Employees”), (ii) as of the date of this Agreement, SRI has not requested the Company to transfer or register any of its shares of Common Stock to or in the name of any SRI Employee; (iii) prior to requesting the Company to transfer or register any shares of Common Stock owned beneficially and of record by SRI to or in the name of any SRI

 

14


Employee, SRI will require such SRI Employee to agree in writing, by executing a joinder to this Agreement, to be bound by and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement in the same manner as if the SRI Employee were an original party to this Agreement, (iv) the registration rights provided in this Agreement are the only registration rights the SRI Employees are or will be entitled to in connection with such SRI Employee’s award under the SRI Plan and (v) it currently does not anticipate granting any additional Option Awards or Bonus Awards to any employee, officer or directors of SRI under the SRI Plan after the date of this Agreement, but if it does grant additional Option Awards and Bonus Awards, in no event shall such grants exceed 25,800 shares of Common Stock (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations and the like) as provided in the SRI Plan. Notwithstanding Section 1.12(d) above, the transfer of registration rights to a SRI Employee by SRI pursuant to the foregoing conditions will be without restriction as to any number of shares of Common Stock held by SRI or transferred to the SRI Employee.

1.13 Limitations on Subsequent Registration Rights. From and after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities then outstanding, enter into any agreement with any holder or prospective holder of any securities of the Company which would allow such holder or prospective holder any rights to request or participate in any registration of Company securities.

1.14 “Market Stand-Off” Agreement. Each Holder hereby agrees that, during the period of duration (not to exceed 180 days) specified by the Company and an underwriter of Common Stock or other securities of the Company following the effective date of a registration statement in connection with a firm commitment underwritten public offering of the Company’s Common Stock or other securities to the general public, it shall not, to the extent requested by the Company or such underwriter, (i) directly or indirectly, sell, offer to sell, contract to sell (including, without limitation, any short sale), grant any option to purchase or otherwise transfer or dispose of (other than to donees (including limited partners of any Holder) who agree to be similarly bound) any Registrable Securities or other securities of the Company held by it, except Common Stock or other securities included in such registration, or (ii) enter into any hedging swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Common Stock, whether any such transaction above is to be settled by delivery of Common Stock or other securities, in cash or otherwise, any Common Stock (or other securities) of the Company held by such Holder (other than those included in the registration) for a period specified by the representative of the underwriters of Common Stock (or other securities) of the Company not to exceed one hundred eighty (180) days following the effective date of a registration statement of the Company filed under the Securities Act in connection with a bona fide firm commitment underwritten initial public offering by a nationally recognized underwriter pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the offer and sale of shares of Common Stock for the account of the Company; provided, however, that (i) all officers and directors of the Company and all holders of at least 1% of the Company’s equity securities purchased from the Company (other than securities purchased from the Company at any time after the date of this Agreement in a registered public offering) are bound by and have entered into a similar agreement and the restriction on transfer has not been waived in whole or in part with respect to any such officers, directors or holders, and (ii) the restriction shall not apply to a registration on a Special Registration Statement. In order to enforce the foregoing covenant, the Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the Registrable Securities or other securities of each Holder (and the shares or securities of every other person subject to the foregoing

 

15


restriction) until the end of such period. For clarity, this Section 1.14 shall apply to the NB Funds but shall not apply to any other funds or separate accounts managed by Neuberger Berman Investment Advisers LLC or its affiliates that do not directly hold securities in the Company. Any release or waiver of the restrictions set forth above with respect to any institutional investor shall be made on a pro rata basis based on the number of shares of Common Stock then subject to such restrictions.

1.15 Termination of Registration Rights. No Holder shall be entitled to exercise any right provided for in this Section 1 after such time as such Holder may sell all of such Holder’s Registrable Securities held or entitled to be held upon conversion by such Holder in any 90-day period in a single transaction under Rule 144 of the Securities Act (or similar exception).

1.16 Registration of Common Stock. The Company shall have no obligation to register an offering of Preferred Stock and the foregoing registration rights apply only to the registration of Common Stock issued upon conversion of Preferred Stock, Conversion Common Stock or Common Stock issued upon conversion or exercise of any other convertible securities, held by the Holder.

Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated orally, but only by a statement in writing signed by the party against which enforcement of the change, waiver, discharge or termination is sought, except to the extent provided in this Section 4.3.

4.4 Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement or any agreement entered into pursuant to this Agreement shall be declared invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction in any jurisdiction, such provision shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent declared invalid or unenforceable without affecting the validity or enforceability of all the other provisions of this Agreement and each agreement entered into pursuant to this Agreement, and the remainder of this Agreement and each agreement entered into pursuant to this Agreement shall remain binding on the parties hereto and thereto.

WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 4.3 of the Agreement, subject to certain limitations, with the written consent of (a) the Company and (b) the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock then held by the Preferred Holders and the outstanding shares of Conversion Common Stock then held by the Prior Preferred Holders, voting together (on a combined and as-if converted basis) (the “Requisite Holders”), the rights and obligations of the Company and the Holders under the Agreement may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively), modified or amended.

WHEREAS, the Company and the undersigned Holders desire to amend the Agreement to provide for a board observer right held by Goodgrower, S.A.

WHEREAS, the undersigned Holders constitute the Requisite Holders.

AGREEMENT

The parties agree as follows:

1. Amendments.

(a) Section 1.1(o) of the Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

“The term “Qualified IPO” means the closing of a bona fide firm commitment underwritten initial public offering by a nationally recognized underwriter pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the offer and sale of shares of Common Stock for the account of the Company to the public in which the aggregate gross proceeds received by the Company prior to underwriter discounts, commissions and expenses equals or exceeds $75,000,000 and the holders of New Series B/B-1 Preferred and the holders of New Series C/C-1 Preferred receive their IPO Liquidation Amounts (as defined in the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation).”

(b) Section 2.6 of the Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:


Observer Rights. (i) After such time as Charles Larsen no longer serves on the Company’s Board of Directors, as long as AMV Partners II, L.P. (“AMV”) owns any shares of the Company’s capital stock, the Company shall invite a representative of AMV to attend all meetings of its Board of Directors in a nonvoting observer capacity, (ii) as long as IGC Fund VI, L.P. (“IGC”) owns any shares of the Company’s capital stock, the Company shall invite a representative of IGC to attend all meetings of its Board of Directors in a nonvoting observer capacity, (iii) as long as KCK Ltd. (“KCK”) owns any shares of the Company’s capital stock, the Company shall invite a representative of KCK to attend all meetings of its Board of Directors in a nonvoting observer capacity, (iv) as long as Neuberger Berman Principal Strategies PRIMA Fund LP or Neuberger Berman Principal Strategies PRIMA Co-Invest Fund III LP (the “NB Funds”) hold shares of New Series B/B-1 Preferred or New Series C/C-1 Preferred and until such time as the NB Funds shall have the right to appoint a member of the Board of Directors, the Company shall invite a representative of the NB Funds to attend all meetings of its Board of Directors in a nonvoting observer capacity and (v) as long as Goodgrower, S.A. (“Goodgrower”), together with its Affiliates, owns any shares of the Company’s capital stock, the Company shall invite a representative of Goodgrower to attend all meetings of its Board of Directors in a nonvoting observer capacity, and, in this respect, shall give such representatives copies of all notices, minutes, consents, and other materials that it provides to its directors; provided, however, that such representatives shall agree to hold in confidence and trust all information so provided; and provided further, that the Company reserves the right to withhold any information and to exclude such representatives from any meeting or portion thereof if access to such information or attendance at such meeting could adversely affect the attorney-client privilege between the Company and its counsel or result in disclosure of trade secrets or a conflict of interest, or if such Holder or its representative is a competitor of the Company.”

(c) Section 4.3 of the Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

Amendments and Waivers; Additional Parties. In each case in which approval of the Holders is required by the terms of this Agreement, such requirement shall be satisfied by a vote or the written action of holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock then held by the Preferred Holders and the outstanding shares of Conversion Common Stock then held by the Prior Preferred Holders, voting together (on a combined and as-if converted basis) (the “Requisite Holders”), unless a different percentage is specifically required pursuant to this Agreement. The rights and obligations of the Company and the Holders under this Agreement may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively), modified or amended only by a writing signed by the Company and the Requisite Holders. Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this Section shall be binding upon the Holders (including permitted assigns pursuant to Section 4.1 hereof). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no provision of this Agreement may be amended or terminated and the observance of any term hereof may not be waived with respect to any Holder without the written consent of such Holder unless such amendment, termination, or waiver applies to all Holders in the same fashion (including, for the avoidance of doubt, and without limitation, (i) that this clause (i) shall not be amended, terminated or waived without the prior written consent of AMV and that Section 2.6 shall not be amended or terminated or the observance of any term therein waived in relation to AMV’s rights thereunder without the prior written consent of AMV), (ii) that this clause (ii) shall not be amended, terminated or waived without the prior written consent of IGC and that Section 2.6 shall not be

amended or terminated or the observance of any term therein waived in relation to IGC’s rights thereunder without the prior written consent of IGC), (iii) that this clause (iii) shall not be amended, terminated or waived without the prior written consent of KCK and that Section 2.6 shall not be amended or terminated or the observance of any term therein waived in relation to KCK’s rights thereunder without the prior written consent of KCK), (iv) that this clause (iv) shall not be amended, terminated or waived without the prior written consent of the NB Funds and that Section 2.6 shall not be amended or terminated or the observance of any term therein waived in relation to NB Funds’ rights thereunder without the prior written consent of the NB Funds) and (v) that this clause (v) shall not be amended, terminated or waived without the prior written consent of Goodgrower and that Section 2.6 shall not be amended or terminated or the observance of any term therein waived in relation to Goodgrower’s rights thereunder without the prior written consent of Goodgrower). The waiver by a party of any breach or default of the terms of this Agreement shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver of any other default or succeeding breach or default. Written notice of any such waiver, consent or agreement of amendment, modification or supplement shall be given to the record Holders of Registrable Securities who have not previously consented thereto in writing. Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated orally, but only by a statement in writing signed by the party against which enforcement of the change, waiver, discharge or termination is sought, except to the extent provided in this Section 4.3.”

2. Reference to and Effect on the Agreement. On or after the date hereof, each reference in the Agreement to “this Agreement,” “hereunder,” “herein” or words of like import shall mean and be a reference to the Agreement as amended hereby.

3. No Other Amendments. Except as set forth herein, the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms.

4. Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in two (2) or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Counterparts may be delivered via facsimile, electronic mail (including pdf or any electronic signature complying with the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000, e.g., www.docusign.com) or other transmission method and any counterpart so delivered shall be deemed to have been duly and validly delivered and be valid and effective for all purposes.
