9


 

 

including the exhibits thereto and documents incorporated by reference therein, the “SEC Documents”).  Each of the SEC Documents, including all SEC Documents filed or furnished after the date hereof but prior to or on the Closing, complied or, if not yet filed, will comply, as to form in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.  As of the date filed or furnished with the SEC, none of the SEC Documents, including all SEC Documents filed or furnished after the date hereof but prior to or on the Closing, contained or, if not yet filed, will contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted, or if not yet filed, will omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.  As of the date hereof, there are no material outstanding or unresolved comments received from the SEC with respect to any of the SEC Documents.

(b) The consolidated financial statements (including all related notes and schedules) of the Company included in the SEC Documents, and including all SEC Documents filed after the date hereof but prior to the Closing, fairly presented, or if not yet filed, will fairly present, in all material respects the consolidated financial position of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries, as at the respective dates thereof, and the consolidated results of their operations, their consolidated cash flows and changes in stockholders’ equity for the respective periods then ended (subject, in the case of the unaudited statements, to normal, immaterial year-end adjustments) and were prepared, or if not yet filed, will be prepared, in all material respects in conformity with GAAP (except, in the case of the unaudited financial statements, as permitted by the SEC) applied on a consistent basis during the periods referred to therein (except as may be indicated therein or in the notes thereto).  Since January 1, 2015, subject to any applicable grace periods, the Company has been and is currently in compliance in all material respects with the applicable provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the applicable rules and regulations of NASDAQ.

(c)The Company has designed and maintained disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting (as such terms are defined in paragraphs (e) and (f), respectively, of Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act) as required by Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act and as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP.  The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are reasonably designed to ensure that all material information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or furnishes under the Exchange Act is recorded,

10


 

 

processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and that all such material information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s principal executive officer and its principal financial officer by others in the Company or its Subsidiaries to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and to make the certifications required pursuant to Sections 302 and 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.  The Company’s certifying officers have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by the Company’s most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act (such date, the “Evaluation Date”). The Company presented in its most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act the conclusions of the certifying officers about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures based on their evaluations as of the Evaluation Date. Since the Evaluation Date, there have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in the Exchange Act) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.  Except as would not, individually or in the aggregate, constitute a Material Adverse Effect, the Company has disclosed, based on its most recent evaluation prior to the date hereof, to the Company’s auditors and the audit committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (i) any material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting and (ii) any allegation of fraud that involves management of the Company or any other employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries who have a significant role in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting or disclosure controls and procedures.  Since January 1, 2015, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any written complaint, allegation, assertion or claim regarding the accounting or auditing practices, procedures, methodologies or methods of the Company or its Subsidiaries or their respective internal accounting controls.

(d)Material Changes.  Since the date of the latest audited financial statements included within the SEC Documents, except as specifically disclosed in a subsequent SEC Document filed prior to the date hereof, (i) there have been no events, occurrences or developments that have had or would reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect, (ii) the Company has not incurred any material liabilities (contingent or otherwise) other than (A) trade payables and accrued expenses incurred in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice, (B) liabilities not required to be reflected in the Company's financial statements pursuant to GAAP or disclosed in

Except for the issuance of the Shares contemplated by this Agreement, since January 1, 2015, no event, liability or development has occurred or exists with respect to the Company or its Subsidiaries or their respective business, properties, operations or financial condition, that was required to have already been disclosed by the Company on Form 8-K under applicable securities laws that has not already been publicly disclosed.

3.3No Conflicts; Consents and Approvals; No Violation.  Neither the execution, delivery or performance by such Purchaser of any Transaction Agreement to which such Purchaser is a party nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall (a) result in a breach or a violation of, any provision of the articles of incorporation, bylaws or other organizational documents of such Purchaser or of the articles of incorporation, bylaws or other organizational documents of any of its Subsidiaries; (b) constitute, with or without notice or the passage of time or both, a breach, violation or default, create an Encumbrance, or give rise to any right of termination, modification, cancellation, prepayment, suspension, limitation, revocation or acceleration, under (i) any Law, or (ii) any provision of any agreement or other instrument to which such Purchaser is a party or pursuant to which such Purchaser or its assets or properties is subject, except for, in the case of each clause (i) and (ii), breaches, violations, defaults, Encumbrances, or rights of termination, modification, cancellation, prepayment, suspension, limitation, revocation or acceleration, which, individually or in the aggregate, would not materially adversely affect the ability of such Purchaser to perform its obligations under any Transaction Agreement to which such Purchaser is a party or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby; or (c) require any Consents, Approvals and Filings on the part of such Purchaser, except for (x) the Consents, Approvals and Filings required under the Exchange Act and applicable state securities Laws, (y) the Consents, Approvals and Filings required under the Merger Control Laws, and (z) such other Consents, Approvals and Filings which the failure of such Purchaser to make or obtain would not materially adversely affect the ability of such Purchaser to perform its obligations under any Transaction Agreement to which such Purchaser is a party or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

3.4Broker’s Fee.  No agent, broker, investment banker or other Person is or shall be entitled to any broker’s or finder’s fee or any other commission or similar fee from such Purchaser in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to occur at the Closing.

(d)Such Purchaser understands that the sale or re-sale of the Shares has not been and is not being registered under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws, and the Shares may not be offered, sold or otherwise transferred unless (i) the Shares are offered, sold or transferred pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, or (ii) the Shares are offered, sold or transferred pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws.

(e)Neither such Purchaser, nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, stockholders or partners has either directly or indirectly, including, through a broker or finder engaged in any general solicitation or published any advertisement in connection with the offer and sale of the Shares. 

(f)The principal offices of such Purchaser and the offices of such Purchaser in which it made its decision to purchase the Shares are located at the address set forth on Exhibit A with respect to such Purchaser or, in the case of the FF Beneficial Investor, at the address set forth on its signature page.

(a)“THE SHARES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AND HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND NOT WITH A VIEW TO, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THE SALE OR DISTRIBUTION THEREOF.  NO SUCH TRANSFER MAY BE EFFECTED WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT RELATED THERETO OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL IN A FORM SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933.”;

(b)Any legend set forth in, or required by, such of the New Investor Agreement or the Investors’ Rights Agreement to which such Purchaser is a party; or

(b)such Purchaser does not have any HSR filing obligation as a result of the transactions described herein because (i) the HSR size of transaction threshold test would not be satisfied with respect to such Purchaser or (ii) the exemption described in 15 U.S.C. Section 18a(c)(10) would apply to such Purchaser.

Section 4.Covenants

4.1Public Announcements.  The Company and the Purchasers shall consult with each other before issuing any press release with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby and neither shall issue any such press release or make any such public statement with respect thereto without the prior consent of the others, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned; provided, however, that the Company may, without the prior consent of the Purchasers, issue such

15


 

 

press release or make such public statement as may upon the advice of counsel be required by Law or by the rules of NASDAQ, any other national securities exchange on which the Company’s securities are listed or any automated quotation system on which such securities are quoted or be required or advisable to complete any required Antitrust Filings or to address any inquiries by a Governmental Entity investigating pursuant to the Merger Control Laws the transactions contemplated hereby, provided that, to the extent time permits, the Company has used all commercially reasonable efforts to consult with the Purchasers prior thereto.

4.2Consents, Approvals and Filings

(a)Each of the Company and the Purchasers, or their respective Affiliates, as applicable, shall make any required HSR Filing and non-U.S. Antitrust Filing listed in Schedule 4.2 hereto as promptly as practicable, but not later than ten (10) Business Days after the date hereof, in accordance with applicable Laws.  To the extent a single Antitrust Filing is required with respect to the Company and any Purchaser in connection with any of the non-U.S. Antitrust Filings listed in Schedule 4.2, rather than separate Antitrust Filings from each party, the relevant Purchaser shall take the lead in making such filing.  Each Purchaser shall pay all filing fees required by it under applicable Merger Control Laws (including under the HSR Act).  In furtherance of the foregoing, the Company and each Purchaser agree to:

(ii)reasonably cooperate in the process to obtain antitrust clearance by the Outside Date;

(iii)furnish promptly to government agencies or authorities of competent jurisdiction any information required and reasonably requested under the Merger Control Laws;

16

(vii)consult and cooperate with the other party in connection with all analyses, appearances, presentations, memoranda, briefs, arguments, opinions and proposals made or submitted to any Governmental Entity in connection with proceedings under or relating to the Antitrust Filings.

(b)Each party will be responsible for and pay its own costs and  expenses  associated with any Antitrust Filing.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, nothing contained in this Agreement shall require the Company, any Purchaser, or the FF Beneficial Investor or their respective Affiliates to (i) (A) relinquish or forbear any rights, (B) agree to any restriction on the conduct of any business or operations or the ownership or exercise of any assets, properties or rights or (C) pay any consideration to any other Person (other than filing and application fees to government agencies or authorities) or (ii) disclose to the other parties, any of their representatives or any other Person, or grant to the other parties, any of their representatives or any other Person, any access in any way (including at meetings with governmental agencies or authorities) to (A) any information if making such information available would jeopardize any attorney-client or other legal privilege, contravene any applicable Law or breach any contract between such party and a third party, or (B) any nonpublic information about itself, any of its Affiliates or any of its or its Affiliates’ respective businesses or operations, other than information that is reasonably relevant to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each party shall provide to the other (or the other’s respective advisors) upon request copies of all correspondence between such party and any Governmental Entity relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.  The parties may, as they deem advisable and necessary, designate any competitively sensitive materials provided to the other under this Section 4.2 as "outside counsel only."  Such materials and the information contained therein shall be given only to outside counsel of the recipient and will not be disclosed by such outside counsel to employees, officers, or directors of the recipient without the advance written consent of the party providing such materials.

17


 

 

(c) The Company and the Purchasers each shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and do, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other party in doing, all things necessary, proper, desirable or advisable to obtain and make all consents, approvals and filings (other than the Antitrust Filings) required to be obtained or made by the Company and its Subsidiaries or the Purchasers, as the case may be, in connection with the authorization, execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

4.3Further Assurances.  Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, each party shall use its respective commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Laws to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement by or before the Outside Date.  If any administrative or judicial action or proceeding, including any proceeding by a private party, is instituted (or threatened to be instituted) challenging any transaction contemplated by this Agreement, each party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate in all respects with the other parties, to contest and resist any such action or proceeding and to have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned any Order, whether temporary, preliminary or permanent, that is in effect and that prohibits, prevents or restricts the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that no party shall be required to expend any material funds in connection with such commercially reasonable efforts.    KPCB agrees that it shall cause its signature to the IRA Amendment to be delivered at the time of the Closing.

4.4Confidential Information.  Except as may be required by applicable Law, any listing agreement with any applicable national or regional securities exchange, as required to be disclosed in filings or other submissions to Governmental Entities made to obtain necessary consents, approvals or filings, or pursuant to the terms and provisions of the existing confidentiality and non-use obligations of the parties, or as provided in the FF Side Letter, the parties will hold any non-public information exchanged between the parties in connection with this Agreement and, in the case of the Company, the New Investors and the FF Beneficial Investor, the New Investor Agreement, and/or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby in confidence in accordance with the terms and provisions of the existing confidentiality and non-use obligations of the parties.

4.5Notification of Certain Matters.  The Company shall give prompt notice to each Purchaser and the FF Beneficial Investor of, and each Purchaser and the FF Beneficial Investor  shall give prompt notice to the Company of, and shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to prevent or promptly remedy, (a) the occurrence or failure to occur, or the

18


 

 

impending or threatened occurrence or failure to occur, of any event which occurrence or failure to occur would cause any of its representations or warranties in this Agreement to be untrue or inaccurate in any material respect (or in all respects in the case of any representation or warranty containing any materiality qualification) at any time after the date hereof but on or prior to the Closing and (b) any material failure (or any failure in the case of any covenant, condition or agreement containing any materiality qualification) on its part to comply with or satisfy any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it under this Agreement. The delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 4.5 shall not limit or otherwise affect the remedies available under this Agreement to any party receiving such notice.

4.6Removal of Legends.  The Company agrees that such time as any legend set forth in Section 3.7 is no longer required (and the Company acknowledges that legends would no longer be required in a circumstance where the Company has received a legal opinion of securities counsel to the Purchaser, reasonably satisfactory to the Company, that a pro rata distribution by a Purchaser to its unaffiliated limited partners constitutes a circumstance under which legends would no longer be required), the Company will, no later than three (3) Business Days following receipt by the Company of (a) a written request by a Purchaser to the Company or the Company’s transfer agent to have such legend removed and (b) such customary representations, notices and other documentation as is reasonably requested by the Company or its transfer agent (including an opinion of securities counsel to the Purchaser, reasonably satisfactory to the Company and its transfer agent), deliver or cause to be delivered to the Purchaser a certificate representing such Shares that is free from such legend, or, in the event that such shares are uncertificated, remove any such legend in the Company’s stock records.  The Company may not make any notation on its records or give instructions to its transfer agent that enlarge the restrictions on transfer set forth in Section 3.7.

7.14Specific Enforcement.  The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage may occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific intent or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties may be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent or cure breaches of the provisions of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, in addition to any other remedy to which they may be entitled by law or equity.

The FF Investor enters into and is liable under (a) this Agreement, (b) any other document or agreement which the FF Investor may be required to provide under this Agreement (including the New Investor Agreement and the FF Side Letter) and (c) any document or agreement executed by the Company or any other person as agent or attorney of the FF Investor under this Agreement only in its capacity as custodian for the FF Beneficial Investor and to the extent that it is actually indemnified by the FF Beneficial Investor.  To the extent this paragraph operates to reduce the amounts for which the FF Investor would otherwise be liable to any person, the FF Beneficial Investor will pay or procure the payment of such amounts to such person.

Subject to the terms and conditions in this Agreement, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to file no later than the date six (6) months after the Closing Date, a supplement to the Company’s Prospectus dated July 1, 2013 (the “Prospectus Supplement”) to the Company’s existing Registration Statement (File No. 333-189718) filed by the Company on July 1, 2013 (the “Existing Registration Statement”) to cover the registration of the Registrable Securities in order to permit or facilitate the sale and distribution of all of the Registrable Securities by the Holders; provided,  however, that the Company shall not be obligated to file the Prospectus Supplement pursuant to this Section 2.1 if:

(a)the Company furnishes to the Holders a certificate signed by an authorized officer of the Company stating that (i) as of the date hereof, the Company expects to file a registration statement for the public offering of securities for the account of the Company (other than a registration of securities (x) issuable pursuant to an employee stock option, stock purchase or similar plan, (y) issuable pursuant to a merger, exchange offer or a transaction of the type specified in Rule 145(a) under the Securities Act or (z) in which the only securities being registered are securities issuable upon conversion of debt securities which are also being registered), provided, that the Company is actively employing good faith efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective, or (ii) the Company is engaged in a material transaction or has an undisclosed material corporate development, in either case, which would be required to be disclosed in the Prospectus Supplement, and in the good faith judgment of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer or Board of Directors, such disclosure would be materially detrimental to the Company and its stockholders at such time (in which case, the Company shall disclose the matter as promptly as reasonably practicable and thereafter file the Prospectus Supplement, and each Holder agrees not to disclose any information about such material transaction or undisclosed material corporate development to Third Parties until such disclosure has occurred or such information has entered the public domain other than through breach of this provision by such Holder), provided, however, that the Company shall have the right to only defer the filing of the Prospectus Supplement pursuant to this Section 2.1(a) until the date one hundred and twenty (120) days after the six (6) month anniversary of the Closing Date; or

7


 

 

(b)at any time prior to the filing of the Prospectus Supplement, any Holder is in breach of or has failed to cause its Affiliates to comply with the obligations and restrictions of Sections 3, 4 or 5 of this Agreement, the Company has provided notice of such breach to a Holder and such breach or failure is ongoing and has not been remedied; it being understood that (i) a one-time, inadvertent and de minimis breach of Section 4 shall not be deemed to be a breach of the obligations and restrictions under Section 4 for purposes of this Section 2.1(b) and (ii) a de minimis breach of Section 3.1(a) hereof, or an inadvertent breach of Section 3.1(f) hereof arising from informal discussions covering general corporate or other business matters the purpose of which is not intended to effectuate or lead to any of the actions referred to in paragraphs (a) through (e) of Section 3.1, shall not be deemed to be a breach of the obligations and restrictions under Section 3.1 for purposes of this Section 2.1(b).  

2.2Continuous Effectiveness of Registration Statement. The Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Existing Registration Statement and, once filed, the Prospectus Supplement continuously effective for the Required Period; provided, however, that if fifteen days prior to (or sooner at the election of the Company) the expiration of the Existing Registration Statement in accordance with Rule 415(a)(5) as promulgated under the Securities Act there remain Registrable Securities, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to either file and have declared effective (if not automatically effective) a replacement Registration Statement on Form S-3 in accordance with Rule 415(a)(6) as promulgated under the Securities Act or a separate Registration Statement on Form S-3 or other appropriate form (which, for the avoidance of doubt, would be filed prior to the expiration of the Existing Registration Statement) (either such Registration Statement, the “Replacement Registration Statement”) to register the resale of the Registrable Securities and include in the prospectus (the “Replacement Prospectus”) for the Replacement Registration Statement the information contained, or to be contained, in the Prospectus Supplement, in which case the references in this Agreement to Prospectus Supplement shall mean the Replacement Prospectus.

2.3Obligations of the Company. The Company shall:

(a)prior to filing the Prospectus Supplement or any amendments thereto, the Company shall furnish to the Holders and their counsel  all such documents proposed to be filed, and any Holder shall have the opportunity to comment on any information pertaining solely to such Holder and its plan of distribution that is contained therein and the Company shall incorporate the comments reasonably requested

8


 

 

by such Holder with respect to such information prior to filing the Prospectus Supplement or amendment;

(b)furnish to the Holders such numbers of copies of the Prospectus Supplement (including each preliminary prospectus or free writing prospectus, if applicable) in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents as they may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of Registrable Securities owned by them;

(c)notify the Holders promptly after the Prospectus Supplement has been filed;

(d)notify the Holders promptly of any request by the SEC for the amending or supplementing of the Prospectus Supplement or for additional information related thereto and promptly deliver to the Holders copies of any comments received from the SEC;

(e)notify the Holders promptly of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Prospectus Supplement or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose, and use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any such order or the termination of such proceedings;

(f)use its commercially reasonable efforts to register and qualify the Registrable Securities under such other securities or blue sky Laws of such jurisdictions as shall be reasonably requested by the Holders, use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep each such registration or qualification effective, including through new filings, or amendments or renewals, during the Required Period, and notify the Holders of the receipt of any written notification with respect to any suspension of any such qualification; provided,  however, 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, unless the Company is already subject to service in such jurisdiction and except as may be required by the Securities Act;

(g)promptly notify each Holder of the occurrence of any event as a result of which the Prospectus Supplement includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing, and promptly prepare a supplement or amendment to the Prospectus Supplement or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such Registrable Securities, such Prospectus Supplement will not contain an untrue

9


 

 

statement of material fact or omit to state any fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading;

(h)upon reasonable notice and during normal business hours, subject to the Company receiving customary confidentiality undertakings or agreements from any Holder or other person obtaining access to Company records, documents, properties or other information pursuant to this Section 2.3(h), make available for inspection by a representative of such Holder and any attorneys or accountants retained by any such Holder, relevant financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company, and use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the officers, directors and employees of the Company to supply all information reasonably requested by any such representative, attorneys or accountants in connection with the Registration Statement;

(i)use its reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC relating to the Prospectus Supplement and make generally available to its security holders earning statements satisfying the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act, provided that the Company will be deemed to have complied with this Section 2.3(i) with respect to such earning statements if it has satisfied the provisions of Rule 158;

(j)cause the Registrable Securities covered by the Prospectus Supplement to be listed on each securities exchange, if any, on which equity securities issued by the Company are then listed; and

(k)reasonably cooperate with each Holder and their respective counsel in connection with filings required to be made with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc., if any.

2.4Furnish Information. It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to take any action pursuant to this Section 2 with respect to the Registrable Securities of any selling Holder that such Holder shall furnish to the Company such information regarding itself and the Registrable Securities held by it as shall be reasonably necessary to effect the registration of such Holder’s Registrable Securities.

2.5No Underwritten Offering. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, neither the Prospectus Supplement nor the plan of distribution for the Registrable Securities will contemplate, and the Company is not obligated to register the Registrable Securities for resale in, an Underwritten Offering.

2.6Expenses. All Registration Expenses shall be borne by the Company. Solely to the extent that Company elects to pursue an Underwritten

10


 

 

Offering, all Selling Expenses incurred in connection with any registration hereunder shall be borne by the Holders of Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement, pro rata on the basis of the number of Registrable Securities registered on their behalf in such Registration Statement.

2.7Indemnification. 

(a)The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each Holder and, in the case of the FF Investor, the FF Beneficial Investor and each Person, if any, who controls such Holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of Exchange Act and the officers, directors, owners, agents and employees of such controlling Persons, against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities (joint or several) to which they may become subject under any securities Laws including, without limitation, the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or any state securities Law or any rule or regulation promulgated thereunder, or otherwise, including the amount paid in settlement of any litigation commenced or threatened, and shall promptly reimburse them, as and when incurred, for any legal or other expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating any claims and defending any actions, insofar as any 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 (each, a “Violation”): (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in or incorporated by reference into the Existing Registration Statement, including any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein (including the Prospectus Supplement) or any free writing prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto, (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company (or any of its agents or Affiliates) of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any state securities Law, or any rule or regulation promulgated under any state securities Law; provided,  however, the Company shall not be liable in any such case for any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action to the extent that it (A) arises out of or is based upon a Violation which occurs solely in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished expressly for use in connection with such registration by such Holder; or (B) is caused by such Holder’s disposition of Registrable Securities during any period during which such Holder is obligated to discontinue any disposition of Registrable Securities as a result of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Existing Registration Statement or Prospectus Supplement of which

11


 

 

such Holder has received written notice or during any period in which the effectiveness of the Existing Registration Statement or Prospectus Supplement has been suspended by the Company in order for the Company to amend the Existing Registration Statement or Prospectus Supplement and the Company has provided the Holders notice thereof. The Company shall pay, as incurred, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by any Person intended to be indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.7(a), in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided,  however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 2.7(a) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

(b)Each Holder shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who has signed the registration statement, each Person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act and the officers, directors, owners, agents and employees of such controlling Persons, any other Holder and any controlling Person of any such other Holder, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (joint or several) to which any of the foregoing Persons may become subject, under liabilities (or actions in respect thereto) which arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in each case to the extent (and only to the extent) that such Violation: (i) arises out of or is based upon a Violation which occurs solely in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished expressly for use in connection with such registration by such Holder; or (ii) is caused by such Holder’s disposition of Registrable Securities during any period during which such Holder is obligated to discontinue any disposition of Registrable Securities as a result of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Existing Registration Statement or Prospectus Supplement of which such Holder has received written notice. Each such Holder shall pay, as incurred, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by any Person intended to be indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.7(b), in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided,  however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 2.7(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without consent of the Holder, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

(c)Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 2.7 of notice of the commencement of any action (including

12


 

 

any action by a Governmental Entity) involving a claim referred to in this Section 2.7, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 2.7, 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 that may be represented without conflict by one counsel) shall have the right to retain its own counsel, with the reasonable 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 prejudicial to its ability to defend such action, shall relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the indemnified party under this Section 2.7, but the omission so to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party shall not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 2.7.  

(d)In order to provide for just and equitable contribution to joint liability in any case in which a claim for indemnification is made pursuant to this Section 2.7 but it is judicially determined (by the entry of a final judgment or decree by a court of competent jurisdiction and the expiration of time to appeal or the denial of the last right of appeal) that such indemnification may not be enforced in such case notwithstanding the fact that this Section 2.7 provided for indemnification in such case, the Company and each Holder of Registrable Securities shall contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which they may be subject (after contribution from others) in proportion to the relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and such Holder, severally, on the other hand; provided,  however, that in any such case, no Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation; provided further,  however, that in no event shall any contribution under this Section 2.7(d) on the part of any Holder exceed the net proceeds received by such Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities giving rise to such contribution obligation, except in the case of willful misconduct or fraud by such Holder.

13


 

 

(e)The obligations of the Company and the Holders under this Section 2.7 shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in a registration statement under this Agreement and otherwise.

Section 3.Restrictions on Beneficial Ownership.  

3.1Standstill. During the Standstill Term each Investor and FF Beneficial Investor and their respective Affiliates (other than the FF Investor) (collectively, the “Standstill Parties”) shall not (and each Investor (other than the FF Investor) and the FF Beneficial Investor shall cause its Affiliates not to), without the prior written consent of the Board of Directors (or any committee thereof) of the Company, directly or indirectly:

(a)acquire, offer or propose to acquire, or agree to acquire, directly or indirectly, more than one percent (1%) of any class or series of any equity or convertible debt securities of the Company or any of its subsidiaries (whether by purchase, business combination, merger, consolidation, share exchange, joint venture or otherwise); provided, however, notwithstanding the foregoing, each Investor (together with its Affiliates) and the FF Beneficial Investor (together with its Affiliates), in each case, may acquire securities of the Company in regular brokerage transactions on the public securities market, such that when taken together with the securities purchased pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, such entity beneficially owns (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(1) of the Exchange Act) up to 9.9% of any class or series of any equity or convertible debt securities of the Company;

(b)solicit proxies or consents or become a “participant” in a “solicitation” (as such terms are defined in Regulation 14A under the Exchange Act) of proxies or consents with respect to securities of the Company or initiate any stockholder proposal with respect to the Company;

(c)seek to advise, control or influence the management, Board of Directors or policies of the Company or any of its subsidiaries (other than communications with the Company’s management with respect to the Company’s business in the ordinary course), or take action for the purpose of convening a stockholders meeting of the Company;

(d)make any proposal or any public announcement (including, for the avoidance of doubt, indirectly by means of communication with the press or media) relating to a tender or exchange offer for securities of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or relating to any business combination, acquisition, merger, consolidation, share exchange,

14


 

 

sale of substantially all assets, liquidation, restructuring, recapitalization, or similar transaction involving the Company or its subsidiaries, or take any action that might require the Company to make a public announcement regarding any of the foregoing;

(e)form, join or in any way participate in a “group” as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act for the purpose of acquiring, holding, voting or disposing of securities of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or taking any other actions restricted or prohibited under clauses (a) through (d) of this Section 3, or take any steps in connection therewith; or

(f)enter into any discussions, negotiations, arrangements or understandings with any third party (other than such Investor’s Affiliates) with respect to any of the actions restricted or prohibited under clauses (a) through (e) of this Section 3.

Nothing in this Agreement shall restrict an Investor or any of its representatives from (1)(a) from the date of this Agreement until June 30, 2016, making a request directly to the Board of Directors of the Company for written consent to submit a proposal regarding a possible business combination involving the Company and such Investor or any of their respective Affiliates (a “Transaction”) directly to the Board of Directors of the Company on a confidential basis, which request shall be considered in good faith (provided that if the Company believes that such Investor has made a confidential proposal not meeting the requirements of clause (a), the Company will provide such Investor notice of such violation and such Investor shall have the opportunity to withdraw or otherwise negate such proposal to ensure compliance with the provisions of this Section 3), or (b) following June 30, 2016, making a proposal regarding a possible Transaction directly to the CEO or Board of Directors of the Company on a confidential basis, (2) acquiring or offering to acquire, seeking, proposing or agreeing to acquire any third party that owns any securities or assets of the Company or (3) acquiring any securities of the Company in connection with any mutual fund, pension plan or employee benefit plan managed on behalf of employees or former employees of the Company.

Section 4.Restrictions on Dispositions.

4.1Lock-Up. During the Lock-Up Term, without the prior approval of the Company, each Investor shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, Dispose of (x) any of the Purchased Shares, together with any shares of Common Stock issued in respect thereof as a result of any stock split, stock dividend, share exchange, merger, consolidation or similar recapitalization, and (y) any Common Stock issued as (or issuable upon the exercise of any warrant, right or other security that is issued as) a dividend or other distribution with respect to, or in exchange or in replacement of, the shares of Common Stock described in clause (x) of this sentence (collectively, the “Lock-Up Securities”); provided,  however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit such Investor from (A) transferring Lock-Up Securities to a Permitted Transferee or (B) Disposing of any

15


 

 

Lock-Up Securities in order to reduce the beneficial ownership of the Standstill Parties or the FF Beneficial Investor to 19.9%, or such lesser percentage as advised in good faith and in writing by such Investor’s certified public accountants that would not require such Investor to include in its financial statements its portion of the Company’s financial results, of the Shares of Then Outstanding Common Stock or, in the case of the FF Beneficial Investor as advised in good faith and in writing by the FF Beneficial Investor to enable it to comply with applicable law or official undertaking.

4.2Certain Tender Offers. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 4, this Section 4 shall not prohibit or restrict any Disposition of Shares of Then Outstanding Common Stock and/or Common Stock Equivalents by the Standstill Parties into (a) a tender offer by a Third Party which is not opposed by the Company’s Board of Directors (but only after the Company’s filing of a Schedule 14D-9, or any amendment thereto, with the SEC disclosing the recommendation of the Company’s Board of Directors with respect to such tender offer) or (b) an issuer tender offer by the Company.

Section 5.Termination of Certain Rights and Obligations.

16


 

 

(c)the date that any person commences a tender or exchange offer that, if consummated, would make such person (or any of its affiliates) the beneficial owner (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(1) of the Exchange Act) of more than 50% of the Company’s equity securities;

provided,  however, that if Section 3 terminates due to clause (b) above and such agreement is abandoned or the transactions contemplated by the agreement are not consummated, the restrictions contained in Section 3 shall again be applicable until otherwise terminated pursuant to this Section 6.2.

Section 6.Miscellaneous.

17


 

 

6.2Waiver. Waiver by a party of a breach hereunder by another party shall not be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same or any other provision. No delay or omission by a party in exercising or availing itself of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude the later exercise of any such right, power or privilege by such party. No waiver shall be effective unless made in writing with specific reference to the relevant provision(s) of this Agreement and signed by a duly authorized representative of the party granting the waiver.

6.5Amendments. Any term of this Agreement may be amended or terminated only with the written consent of the Company, the Holders and the FF Beneficial Investor.

6.6Titles and Subtitles. The titles and subtitles used in this Agreement are used for convenience only and are not to be considered in construing or interpreting this Agreement.

18


 

 

(a)The rights of any Holder hereunder may be assigned in whole or in part (but only with all restrictions and obligations set forth in this Agreement) by a Holder to a Permitted Transferee which acquires at least 25,000 Registrable Securities (subject to adjustment in the event of any stock split, stock dividend, share exchange, merger, consolidation or similar recapitalization) from such Holder; provided, however, (i) such Holder shall, within five (5) days prior to such transfer, furnish to the Company written notice of the name and address of such Permitted Transferee, details of its status as a Permitted Transferee and details of the Registrable Securities with respect to which such registration rights are being assigned, (ii) the Permitted Transferee, prior to or simultaneously with such transfer or assignment, shall agree in writing to be subject to and bound by all restrictions and obligations set forth in this Agreement, (iii) the applicable Investor shall continue to be bound by all restrictions and obligations set forth in this Agreement and (iv) such transfer or assignment shall be effective only if immediately following such transfer or assignment the further disposition of such Registrable Securities by the Permitted Transferee is restricted under the Securities Act and other applicable securities Law.

(b)Except for an assignment of this Agreement by a Holder to a Permitted Transferee in accordance with Section 6.8(a), neither this Agreement nor any rights or duties of a party hereto may be assigned by such party, in whole or in part, without (a) the prior written consent of the Company in the case of any assignment by a Holder; or (b) the prior written consent of the Investors in the case of an assignment by the Company.

6.9Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

6.10Counterparts.  This Agreement 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.

6.11Third Party Beneficiaries. None of the provisions of this Agreement shall be for the benefit of or enforceable by any Third Party other than any Affiliate of an Investor. No Third Party with the exception of any Affiliate of an Investor shall obtain any right under any provision of this Agreement

19


 

 

or shall by reason of any such provision make any claim in respect of any debt, liability or obligation (or otherwise) against any party hereto.

6.12 No Strict Construction. This Agreement has been prepared jointly and will not be construed against any party.

6.13Remedies. The rights, powers and remedies of the parties under this Agreement are cumulative and not exclusive of any other right, power or remedy which such parties may have under any other agreement or Law. No single or partial assertion or exercise of any right, power or remedy of a party hereunder shall preclude any other or further assertion or exercise thereof.

6.14Specific Performance. The Company and each Investor hereby acknowledge and agree that the rights of the parties hereunder are special, unique and of extraordinary character, and that if any party refuses or otherwise fails to act, or to cause its Affiliates to act, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, such refusal or failure may result in irreparable injury to the Company or such Investor, as the case may be, the exact amount of which would be difficult to ascertain or estimate and the remedies at law for which would not be reasonable or adequate compensation. Accordingly, if any party refuses or otherwise fails to act, or to cause its Affiliates to act, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, then, in addition to any other remedy which may be available to any damaged party at law or in equity, such damaged party will be entitled to seek specific performance and injunctive relief, without posting bond or other security, and without the necessity of proving actual or threatened damages, which remedy such damaged party will be entitled to seek in any court of competent jurisdiction.

6.15No Conflicting Agreements. Each Investor hereby represents and warrants to the Company that neither it nor any of its Affiliates is, as of the date of this Agreement, a party to, and agrees that neither it nor any of its Affiliates shall, on or after the date of this Agreement, enter into any agreement that conflicts with the rights granted to the Company in this Agreement. The Company hereby represents and warrants to each Holder that it is not, as of the date of this Agreement, a party to, and agrees that it shall not, on or after the date of this Agreement, enter into any agreement or approve any amendment to its organizational documents with respect to its securities that conflicts with the rights granted to the Holders in this Agreement. The Company further represents and warrants that the rights granted to the Holders hereunder do not in any way conflict with the rights granted to any other holder of the Company’s securities under any other agreements.

6.16No Publicity. The parties hereto agree that the provisions of Section 4.1 of the Purchase Agreement shall be applicable to the parties to this Agreement with respect to any public disclosures regarding the proposed transactions

20


 

 

contemplated hereby or by the Purchase Agreement or regarding the parties hereto or their Affiliates (it being understood that the provisions of Section 4.1 of the Purchase Agreement shall be read to apply to disclosures of information relating to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby).

6.17Limitation of Liability. IN NO EVENT WILL ANY PARTY BE LIABLE TO ANY OTHER PARTY (OR SUCH OTHER PARTY’S AFFILIATES) IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT FOR LOST REVENUE, LOST PROFITS, LOST SAVINGS, LOSS OF USE, DAMAGE TO GOODWILL, OR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE OR INDIRECT DAMAGES UNDER ANY THEORY, INCLUDING CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE, OR STRICT LIABILITY, EVEN IF THAT PARTY HAS BEEN PLACED ON NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

6.18Construction.  Whenever required by the context, any pronoun used in this Agreement shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine or neuter forms, and the singular forms of nouns, pronouns, and verbs shall include the plural and vice versa. Reference to any agreement, document, or instrument means such agreement, document, or instrument as amended or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof and, if applicable, hereof.  A reference to any party hereto includes such party’s permitted assignees and/or the respective successors in title to substantially the whole of such party’s undertaking. All references to “Sections” and “Exhibits” contained in this Agreement are, unless specifically indicated otherwise, references to sections or exhibits of or to this Agreement.  The recitals and exhibits to this Agreement form part of the operative provisions of this Agreement and references to this Agreement shall, unless the context otherwise requires, include references to the recitals and exhibits to this Agreement.  As used in this Agreement, the following terms shall have the meanings indicated: (a) “day” means a calendar day; (b) “U.S.” or “United States” means the United States of America; (c) “dollar” or “$” means lawful currency of the United States; (d) “including” or “include” means “including without limitation”; and (e) references in this Agreement to specific laws includes the succeeding law, section, or provision corresponding thereto and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

6.19The FF Investor Limitation of Liability. The FF Investor enters into and is liable under (a) this Agreement, (b) any other document or agreement which the FF Investor may be required to provide under this Agreement and (c) any document or agreement executed by the Company or any other person as agent or attorney of the FF Investor under this Agreement only in its capacity as custodian for the FF Beneficial Investor, and to the extent that it is actually indemnified by the FF Beneficial Investor.  To the extent this paragraph operates to reduce the amounts for which the FF Investor would otherwise be liable to any person, the FF Beneficial Investor will pay or procure the payment of such amounts to such person.

Amendment No. 2

To

SECOND Amended and Restated INVESTORS’ RIGHTS Agreement

 

 

The Second Amended and Restated Investors’ Rights Agreement (as amended, the “Agreement”), dated as of June 6, 2011, among TESARO, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), the investors listed on Schedule A thereto (the “Investors”), OPKO Health, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and the persons listed on Schedule B thereto (the “Founders”), as amended by Amendment No. 1, dated as of July 7, 2011, is hereby amended by this Amendment No. 2 (this “Amendment”) as of [___], 2016 (“Amendment Effective Date”).  Any capitalized term used herein, but not defined herein, shall have the meaning of such term set forth in the Agreement.

 

WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 4.7 of the Agreement, the Company and the undersigned Investors desire to amend the Agreement as set forth below.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, the Company and the undersigned Investors hereby agree that the Agreement is hereby amended by this Amendment and further agree as follows:

 

1.AMENDMENTS

 

1.1 The definition of “Registrable Securities” set forth in Section 1 of the Agreement is hereby amended and restated by replacing such definition with the following definition:

 

Registrable Securities” means (i) the Common Stock issuable or issued upon conversion of the Preferred Stock, (ii) any Common Stock of the Company issued as (or issuable upon the conversion or exercise of any warrant, right or other security that is issued as) a dividend or other distribution with respect to, or in exchange for, or in replacement of, the shares referenced in (i) above, and (iii) the Common Stock issued to KPCB Holdings, Inc., as nominee, NEA 15 Opportunities Fund, L.P., New Enterprise Associates 13, L.P. and InterWest Partners X, LP pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of February 24, 2016, by and among the Company and the other parties thereto (the “2016 Private Placement”), excluding in all cases, however, any Registrable Securities sold by a person in a transaction in which his rights under Section 2 are not assigned.  The number of shares of “Registrable Securities” outstanding shall be determined by the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding that are, and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to then exercisable or convertible securities that are, Registrable Securities.

 

1.2Section 2.13 of the Agreement is hereby amended to include the following immediately prior to the period at the end of such section:

 

 


 

 

“; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Holder that purchased Registrable Securities in the 2016 Private Placement, such Holder shall be entitled to exercise any right provided for in this Section 2 until (i) three (3) years following [to be Amendment Effective Date], (ii) as to such Holder, such earlier time following the second anniversary of [to be Amendment Effective Date] at which such Holder (A) holds less than one percent (1%) of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock and (B) all Registrable Securities held by such Holder (together with any affiliate of the Holder with whom such Holder must aggregate its sales under Rule 144) can be sold in any three (3)-month period without registration in compliance with Rule 144 or (iii) the earlier consummation of a Liquidation Event, as that term is defined in the Company’s Restated Certificate”

 

2.JOINDER OF NEA 15 OPPORTUNITY FUND, L.P.

 

NEA 15 Opportunity Fund, L.P. hereby agrees to become, and is hereby made, a party to the Agreement, as amended hereby, with all the rights and obligations of an Investor thereunder and agrees to be bound by and subject to all of the terms, provisions and conditions contained in the Agreement from and after the Amendment Effective Date. 

 

3.MISCELLANEOUS

 

Except as modified by this Amendment, which shall be effective as of the Amendment Effective Date, the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, enforceable in accordance with its terms.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Reference is made to that certain Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of 24, February 2016 (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”), by and among TESARO, Inc., (the “Company”), Future Fund Investment Company No.4 Pty Ltd (the “Beneficial Investor”), and certain investors including The Northern Trust Company in its capacity as custodian for the Beneficial Investor (the “Custodian”), pursuant to which the Custodian is purchasing 852,514 shares of Common Stock (par value $0.0001 per share) of the Company (the “Shares”), at a price per share of the Per Share Price (as defined in the Stock Purchase Agreement) in its capacity as custodian for the Beneficial Investor. 

 

This letter agreement will confirm that pursuant to, and effective upon, the execution of the Stock Purchase Agreement and the related issuance of Shares, the Company, the Beneficial Investor and the Custodian agree as follows:

1.Terms of agreement.

1.1Custodian limitation of liability.  The Custodian has entered into and shall be liable under the following documents (as amended from time to time) only in its capacity as custodian for the Beneficial Investor, and to the extent that it is actually indemnified by the Beneficial Investor (together, the Transaction Documents):

(a)This letter agreement;

(b)The Stock Purchase Agreement;

 


 

 

(c)Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company and Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company;

(d)Investor Agreement, by and among the Company, the Custodian and other New Investors (as defined in the Stock Purchase Agreement) and the Beneficial Investor dated on or about the date of this letter agreement (the “Investor Agreement”); and

(e)Any document entered into by the Company as proxy or on behalf of the Custodian.

To the extent this paragraph 1.1 operates to reduce the amounts for which the Custodian would otherwise be liable to any person, the Beneficial Investor will pay or procure the payment of such amounts to such person.  

1.2Permitted transfers.

(a)The Company must consent to, permit, and update its books and records to reflect, a transfer by the Custodian of any or all of its purchased Shares (as defined in the Stock Purchase Agreement) (including as adjusted for any stock split, stock dividend, share exchange, merger, consolidation or similar recapitalization, and any Common Stock issued (or issuable) as a dividend or other distribution with respect to or in exchange for or replacement of the Shares, in each case, after the date hereof) to any one or more of the following persons (each a “Permitted Transferee”):

(i)the Future Fund Board of Guardians;

(ii)any person controlling, controlled by, or under common control with, the Future Fund Board of Guardians;

(iii)the trustee of a trust in which all or substantially all of the beneficial interests thereof are held directly or indirectly by the Future Fund Board of Guardians or any person controlling, controlled by, or under common control with, the Future Fund Board of Guardians; or

(iv)any custodian for any of the foregoing.

(b)In the case of a transfer to a Permitted Transferee, the Company waives the following requirements of section 6.8 of the Investor Agreement:

(i)the minimum number of Registrable Securities to be transferred; and

(ii)paragraph 6.8(a)(iii) with respect to the Shares transferred to such Permitted Transferee.

(c)Following any such transfer to a Permitted Transferee, the Company will ensure that such Permitted Transferee is given the benefit of the terms of the Transaction Documents as if such Permitted Transferee had executed the Transaction

2


 

 

Documents in place of the Custodian.  At the request of such Permitted Transferee, the Company will execute a new or amended agreement with such Permitted Transferee containing terms and conditions substantially equivalent to the terms and conditions set forth in this letter agreement.

1.3Constraints on publicity.    Except as may be required by applicable laws or by the rules of any stock exchange or listing authority, the Company will not, and will ensure that its respective affiliates do not, without the prior written consent of the Custodian or the Beneficial Investor, (a) make any press release or other public disclosure about the investment of the Beneficial Investor (or any entity associated with the Beneficial Investor, including the Future Fund Board of Guardians) in the Company; or (b) in any non-public disclosure, describe the Beneficial Investor (or any entity associated with the Beneficial Investor) as an anchor investor (or as anything synonymous to an anchor investor); provided, however, that once a statement has been made public in accordance herewith, the Company may repeat and redistribute such statement or make any statement substantially consistent therewith without the prior written consent of the Beneficial Investor or the Custodian.

1.4Bank account details.    

(a)The Company will ensure that all distributions or payments to the Custodian from the Company are placed into the account whose details are set out in Exhibit A.  The Beneficial Investor or the Custodian may, by written notice to the Company, update the account details set out in Exhibit A.

(b)The Company confirms that all payments to the Company from the Custodian may be made into the account whose details are set out in Exhibit A.

1.5Written communications.  

(a)The Company (a) must ensure that each notice or written communication given by the Company to the Custodian and/or the Beneficial Investor, including any such notices required pursuant to the Transaction Documents, is sent to the fax numbers, e-mail addresses or postal addresses set out in Exhibit B (as updated from time to time by the Custodian or the Beneficial Investor by notice to the Company) and (b) will not require the Custodian to act, or not act, or change any course of action pursuant to any notice or other written communication unless paragraph (a) hereof has been complied with in respect of that notice of written communication.

(b)The Company acknowledges that the information in Exhibit B to this letter agreement is deemed to have been provided pursuant to Section 7.6 of the Stock Purchase Agreement and Section 6.3 of the Investor Agreement.

1.6Confidentiality.  

(a)The Custodian and the Beneficial Investor may disclose, without any further notice or other action from the Custodian or the Beneficial Investor, information and documents that would otherwise be confidential to:

3


 

 

(i)each other, the Future Fund Board of Guardians, the Future Fund Management Agency, and the Future Fund Board of Guardians’ wholly owned subsidiaries (the “Future Fund Disclosure Parties”)

(ii)the directors, board members, officers, employees, agents, auditors and advisers of the Future Fund Disclosure Parties;

(iii)any service providers utilized by a Future Fund Disclosure Party; and

(iv)any other person to whom disclosure of such information or documents is required under applicable laws, rules, regulations, orders, rulings, governmental policies, conventions, official requests or requirements, or in respect of whom non-disclosure may incur a penalty or disadvantage under applicable laws, rules, regulations, orders, rulings, governmental policies, conventions, official requests or requirements; provided that the Custodian and the Beneficial Investor shall disclose only such confidential information that it is so required to disclose or in respect of which it would incur a penalty or disadvantage if it did not disclose.   

(b)The Custodian and the Beneficial Investor will ensure that, except to the extent that a disclosure must be made available to the public under applicable laws, rules, regulations, orders, rulings, governmental policies, conventions, official requests or requirements, any person to whom information or documents are disclosed under paragraph 1.6(a) is informed or otherwise understands that such information or documents are disclosed in confidence, in accordance with this letter agreement.

(c)In addition to the foregoing, the Future Fund Disclosure Parties may disclose the following information to any person:

(i)that the Future Fund Board of Guardians, the Custodian or the Beneficial Investor has an interest in the Company, the jurisdiction of formation or domiciliation of the Company, and the percentage of the equity of the Company which that interest comprises; and

(ii)any ratios, statistics, or other aggregated information calculated using the foregoing information, as well as information on the general investment strategy or general objectives of the Company and the net capital cost, and the fair value of the Shares of the Custodian; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Future Fund Disclosure Parties shall be prohibited from specifically identifying any such ratios, statistics, or other aggregated information as relating exclusively to the Company.

1.7Voting securities.  For so long as the Custodian is the record holder of the Shares, the Company will notify the Beneficial Investor prior to any Company action that, to the knowledge of the Company after making reasonable enquiries, would result in the percentage of the voting securities of the Company or, if securities in the Company are exchanged for securities in a

4


 

 

company or other entity that are or become quoted on a stock exchange (whether by way of merger, sale or otherwise) (an “Acquiring Company”), or of an Acquiring Company held by the Custodian:

(a)increasing from below 10% to a percentage equal to or greater than 10%;

(b)increasing from below 15% to a percentage equal to or greater than 15%; or

(c)increasing to a percentage equal to or greater than 18%.

1.8Distributions in specie.    For so long as the Custodian is the record holder of the Shares,  the Company: (a) will not distribute any ‘non-financial assets’ (that term having the same meaning as when used in the Future Fund Act 2006 (Cth)) to the Custodian (including on winding up of the Company) without the prior written consent of the Custodian and (b) will procure that non-financial assets are not paid as consideration to the Custodian without the prior written consent of the Custodian. If the Company proposes to distribute any non-financial assets to any of the holders of capital stock in the Company, or it is otherwise proposed that non-financial assets be paid as consideration to the holders of capital stock in the Company, the Company will ensure that the Custodian’s portion of such non-financial assets are instead (at the Custodian’s election and expense):

(a)sold for cash by the Company on behalf of the Custodian; or

(b)transferred to a third party broker to sell for cash on behalf of the Custodian.

1.9Responsibility for tax filings. The Company acknowledges that it is responsible for arranging the timely filing of all tax returns (including the discharge of all associated tax payment and tax withholding obligations) in all relevant jurisdictions for itself and its subsidiaries.  In the case of the United States, this shall include filing of all federal, state and local tax returns. The costs of preparing and filing tax returns for the Company and all entities controlled directly or indirectly by the Company shall be borne by the Company and those entities.

1.10Tax status.  The Company is and always has been a subchapter C corporation for United States federal income tax purposes.  Except with 60 days’ prior written notice to the Custodian and Beneficial Investor, the Company will not take any action or make any election that results in it being classified other than as a subchapter C corporation for United States federal income tax purposes.

1.11Withholding taxes. The Company shall notify the Beneficial Investor of any taxes that have been withheld or are otherwise payable by or on behalf of the Custodian or the Beneficial Investor in any country in connection with the Company.

2.Miscellaneous.  This letter agreement constitutes the entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter contained herein and supersedes all prior oral or written agreements, if any, between the parties hereto with respect to such subject matter.  In the event that there is a conflict between this letter agreement and the other Transaction Documents, the terms of this letter govern.  This letter agreement and any controversy arising out of or relating to

5


 

 

this letter agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, regardless of the laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of law.  No amendment, alteration, modification of, or addition to this letter agreement will be valid or binding unless expressed in writing and signed by all parties.  This letter agreement may be executed and delivered by facsimile or electronic signature and in two (2) or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one (1) and the same instrument.
