1.2 Request for Registration.

(a) Subject to the conditions of this Section 1.2, if the Company shall receive at any time during the period of five (5) years from the effective date of the Initial Offering, a written request from the Holders holding at least twenty percent (20%) of the Preferred Registrable Securities then outstanding (the “Initiating Holders”) that the Company file a registration statement under the Act covering the registration of Preferred Registrable Securities with an anticipated aggregate offering price of at least $5,000,000, then the Company shall, within twenty (20) days of the receipt thereof, give written notice of such request to all Holders, and subject to the limitations of this Section 1.2, use its reasonable best efforts to effect, as soon as practicable, the registration under the Act of all Preferred Registrable Securities that the Holders request to be registered in a written request received by the Company within twenty (20) days of the mailing of the Company’s notice pursuant to this Section 1.2(a).

(b) If the Initiating Holders intend to distribute the Preferred Registrable Securities covered by their request by means of an underwritten public offering, they shall so advise the Company as a part of their request made pursuant to this Section 1.2 and the Company shall include such information in the written notice required pursuant to Section 1.2(a). In such event, the right of any Holder to include its Preferred Registrable Securities in such registration shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in such underwritten public offering and the inclusion of such Holder’s Preferred Registrable Securities in the underwritten public offering (unless otherwise mutually agreed by a majority in interest of the Initiating Holders and such Holder) to the extent provided herein. All Holders proposing to distribute their securities through such underwritten offering shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting by a majority in interest of the Initiating Holders (which underwriter or underwriters shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 1.2, if the underwriter advises the Company that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of securities underwritten (including Preferred Registrable Securities), then the Company shall so advise all Holders of Preferred Registrable Securities that would otherwise be underwritten pursuant hereto, and the number of shares that may be included in the underwritten public offering shall be first allocated to the holders of Series H Preferred Stock, Series G Preferred Stock, Series F Preferred Stock, Series E Preferred Stock, Series D Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock that would otherwise be underwritten pursuant hereto on a pro rata basis based on the number of shares of Series H Preferred Stock, Series G Preferred Stock, Series F Preferred Stock, Series E Preferred Stock, Series D Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock held by all such Holders, calculated on an as-converted basis (including the Initiating Holders); any remaining number of shares that may be included in the underwritten public offering shall be allocated to the other Holders on a pro rata basis based on the number of Preferred Registrable Securities held by all such Holders (including the Initiating Holders). Any Preferred Registrable Securities excluded or withdrawn from such underwritten public offering shall be withdrawn from the registration.

(c) The Company shall not be required to effect a registration pursuant to this Section 1.2:

(i) in any jurisdiction in which the Company would be required to execute a general consent to service of process in effecting such registration, unless the Company is already subject to service in such jurisdiction, and except as may be required under the Securities Act; or

 

6


(ii) with respect to registration pursuant to Sections 1.2(a)-(b), after the Company has effected two (2) registrations pursuant to Sections 1.2(a)-(b) and such registrations have been declared or ordered effective; or

(iii) if the Initiating Holders, together with the Holders of any other securities of the Company entitled to inclusion in such registration, propose to sell Preferred Registrable Securities and such other securities (if any) at an aggregate price to the public (net of any underwriters’ discounts or commissions) of less than $5,000,000; or

(iv) during the period beginning sixty (60) days prior to the Company’s good faith estimate of the date of the filing of the registration statement relating to the Initial Offering and ending (A) one hundred eighty (180) days following the effective date of such registration statement; or (B) ninety (90) days following the effective date of each other Company initiated registration subject to Section 1.3 below, provided that the Company is actively using reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective; or

(v) if the Company shall furnish to Holders requesting a registration statement pursuant to this Section 1.2 a certificate signed by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer or Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”), stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board, it would be seriously detrimental to the Company for such registration statement to be effected at such time, in which event the Company shall have the right to defer such filing for a period of not more than ninety (90) days after receipt of the request of the Initiating Holders, provided that such right to delay a request shall be exercised by the Company not more than once in any twelve (12) month period.

1.3 Company Registration.

(a) If (but without any obligation to do so) the Company proposes to register (including for this purpose a registration effected by the Company for stockholders other than the Holders) any of its stock or other securities under the Securities Act in connection with the public offering of such securities (other than (i) a registration relating solely to the sale of securities to participants in a Company stock plan, (ii) a registration relating to a corporate reorganization or other transaction listed in SEC Rule 145; and (iii) a registration on any form that does not include substantially the same information as would be required to be included in a registration statement covering the sale of the Registrable Securities), the Company shall, at such time, promptly give each Holder written notice of such registration. Upon the written request of each Holder given within twenty (20) days after delivery of such notice by the Company in accordance with Section 6.5, the Company shall, subject to the provisions of Section 1.3(c), use all reasonable efforts to cause to be registered all of the Registrable Securities that each such Holder has requested to be included in such registration.

 

7


(b) Right to Terminate Registration. The Company shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under this Section 1.3 prior to the effectiveness of such registration, regardless of whether or not any Holder has elected to include securities in such registration. The expenses of such withdrawn registration shall be borne by the Company in accordance with Section 1.7 hereof.

(c) Underwriting Requirements. In connection with any underwritten public offering of shares of the Company’s capital stock pursuant to Section 1.3, the Company shall not be required under this Section 1.3 to include any of the Holders’ securities in such offering unless such Holder accepts the terms of the underwriting, as agreed upon between the Company and the underwriters selected by the Company and enters into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected by the Company, 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. If the total amount of securities, including Registrable Securities, requested by Stockholders to be included in such offering exceeds the amount of securities sold other than by the Company that the underwriters determine in their sole discretion is compatible with the success of the offering, then the Company shall be required to include in the offering only that number of such securities, including Registrable Securities, that the underwriters determine in their sole discretion will not jeopardize the success of the offering. In no event shall any Registrable Securities be excluded from such offering unless all other stockholders’ securities have been first excluded. In the event that the underwriters determine that less than all the Registrable Securities requested to be registered can be included in such offering, then the Registrable Securities that are included in such offering shall be apportioned first pro rata among the selling holders of Series H Preferred Stock, Series G Preferred Stock, Series F Preferred Stock, Series E Preferred Stock, Series D Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock, second pro rata among the selling holders of Series A Preferred Stock, third pro rata among the selling Key Holders on the basis of their relative ownership of Key Holder Registrable Securities and thereafter any remaining Registrable Securities that are included in such offering (if any) shall be apportioned pro rata among the selling Holders or in such other proportions as shall mutually be agreed to by such selling Holders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the amount of securities of the selling Holders included in the offering be reduced below thirty percent (30%) of the total amount of securities included in such offering, unless such offering is the Initial Offering, in which case the selling Holders may be excluded if the underwriters make the determination described above and no other stockholder’s securities are included in such offering. For purposes of the preceding sentence concerning apportionment, for any selling stockholder that is a Holder of Registrable Securities and that is a venture capital, private equity or other investment fund, partnership, limited liability company or corporation, the affiliated venture capital, private equity or other investment funds, partners, members, retired partners, retired members and stockholders of such Holder, or the estates and family members of any such partners, members and retired partners, retired members and any trusts for the benefit of any of the foregoing persons shall be deemed to be a single “selling Holder,” and any pro rata reduction with respect to such “selling Holder” shall be based upon the aggregate amount of Registrable Securities owned by all such related entities and individuals. For this purpose, the T. Rowe Price Investors shall be deemed to be a single “selling Holder,” and any pro rata reduction with respect to such “selling Holder” shall be based upon the aggregate amount of Registrable Securities owned by all entities and individuals included in such “selling Holder,” as defined in this sentence.

 

8


1.4 Form S 3 Registration. In case the Company shall receive from Holders holding at least ten percent (10%) of the Registrable Securities then outstanding (the “S-3 Initiating Holders”) a written request or requests that the Company effect a registration on Form S 3 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 shall:

(a) within twenty (20) days after receipt of any such request, give written notice of the proposed registration, and any related qualification or compliance, to all other Holders; and

(b) use its reasonable best efforts to effect, as soon as practicable, 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 such S-3 Initiating Holders’ Registrable Securities as are specified in such request, together with all or such portion of the Registrable Securities of any other Holders joining in such request as are specified in a written request given within fifteen (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 1.4:

(i) if Form S-3 is not available for such offering by the Holders;

(ii) if the S-3 Initiating Holders, together with the holders of any other securities of the Company entitled to inclusion in such registration, propose to sell Registrable Securities and such other securities (if any) at an aggregate price to the public (net of any underwriters’ discounts or commissions) of less than $1,000,000;

(iii) if the Company shall furnish to the S-3 Initiating Holders a certificate signed by the Chief Executive Officer or Chairman of the Board stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board, it would be seriously detrimental to the Company for such Form S 3 Registration 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 ninety (90) days after receipt of the request of the S-3 Initiating Holder or Holders under this Section 1.4; provided, however, that the Company shall not utilize this right more than once in any twelve (12) month period;

(iv) if the Company has, within the twelve (12) month period preceding the date of such request, already effected two (2) registrations on Form S 3 for the Holders pursuant to this Section 1.4; 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.

(c) Subject to the foregoing, the Company shall file a registration statement covering the Registrable Securities and other securities so requested to be registered as soon as practicable after receipt of the request or requests of the Holders. Registrations effected pursuant to this Section 1.4 shall not be counted as requests for registration effected pursuant to Section 1.2 unless the S-3 Initiating Holders intend to distribute the Registrable Securities covered by their request by means of an underwritten public offering.

 

9


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

(a) prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement with respect to such Registrable Securities and use its reasonable best efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective, and, upon the request of the Holders holding at least a majority of the Registrable Securities registered thereunder, keep such registration statement effective (i) for a period of up to one hundred and twenty (120) days, (ii) in the event of a Form S-3 registration, for a period of up to two hundred and seventy (270) days or, (iii) in either case, if earlier, until the distribution contemplated in the Registration Statement has been completed, provided, however, that the Company may suspend sales at any time under the registration statement immediately upon notice to the selling Holders or their assigns if there then exists material, non-public information relating to the Company which, in the reasonable good faith opinion of the Board would be seriously detrimental to the Company to disclose during that time;

(b) prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection with such registration statement as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement;

(c) furnish to the Holders such numbers of copies of a prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, 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;

(d) use its reasonable best efforts to register and qualify the securities covered by such registration statement under such other 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, unless the Company is already subject to service in such jurisdiction and except as may be required by the Securities Act;

(e) 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 underwriter(s) of such offering;

(f) notify each Holder of Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act or 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;

(g) cause all such Registrable Securities registered pursuant hereunder to be listed on each securities exchange on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed;

(h) provide a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable Securities registered pursuant hereunder and a CUSIP number for all such Registrable Securities, in each case not later than the effective date of such registration;

(i) promptly make available for inspection by the selling Holders, any managing underwriter(s) participating in any disposition pursuant to such registration statement, and any attorney or accountant or other agent retained by any such underwriter or selected by the selling Holders, all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents, and properties of the Company, and cause the Company’s officers, directors, employees, and independent accountants to supply all information reasonably requested by any such seller, underwriter, attorney, accountant, or agent, in each case, as necessary or advisable to verify the accuracy of the information in such registration statement and to conduct appropriate due diligence in connection therewith;

(j) After such registration statement becomes effective, notify each selling Holder of any request by the SEC that the Company amend or supplement such registration statement or prospectus;

(k) cause senior representatives of the Company to participate in any “road show” or “road shows” reasonably requested by any underwriter of an underwritten or “best efforts” offering of Registrable Securities; and

In addition, the Company shall ensure that, at all times after any registration statement covering a public offering of securities of the Company under the Securities Act shall have become effective, its insider trading policy shall provide that the Company’s directors may implement a trading program under Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act.

1.6 Information from Holder. 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 reasonably required to effect the registration of such Holder’s Registrable Securities.

1.7 Expenses of Registration. All expenses (other than Selling Expenses) incurred in connection with registrations, filings or qualifications pursuant to Sections 1.2, 1.3 and 1.4, including (without limitation) all registration, filing and qualification fees, printers’ and accounting fees, fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company and the reasonable fees and disbursements of one counsel for all selling Holders shall be borne and paid by the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to pay for any expenses of any registration proceeding begun pursuant to Section 1.2 or Section 1.4 if the registration request is subsequently withdrawn at the request of the Initiating Holders or the S-3 Initiating Holders, as applicable, holding a majority of the Registrable Securities to be registered (in which case all participating Holders shall bear such expenses pro rata based upon the number of Registrable Securities that were to be requested in the withdrawn registration), provided, however, that in the case of a registration requested under Section 1.2(a), if the Holders holding a majority of the Preferred Registrable Securities agree to forfeit their right to one demand registration pursuant to Section 1.2(a), the Company shall be required to pay any such expenses; provided, however, that if at the time of such withdrawal, the Holders have learned of a material adverse change in the condition, business, or prospects of the Company from that known to the Holders at the time of their request and have withdrawn the request with reasonable promptness following disclosure by the Company of such material adverse change, then the Holders shall not be required to pay any expenses and shall retain their rights pursuant to Section 1.2 or 1.4. All Selling Expenses relating to Registrable Securities registered pursuant to this Section 1 shall be borne and paid by the Holders pro rata on the basis of the number of Registrable Securities registered on their behalf.

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 that any Registrable Securities are included in a registration statement under this Section 1:

(a) To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each selling Holder, the partners, members or officers, directors and stockholders of each Holder, legal counsel, accountants and investment advisors for each selling Holder, any underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act) for such Holder and each person, if any, who controls such Holder or underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act (a “Holder Indemnitee”), against any Damages; and the Company will reimburse each such Holder Indemnitee promptly upon demand for any legal or other expenses reasonably 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 l.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 for any Damages in any such case to a Holder Indemnitee to the extent that it arises out of or is based upon a violation that occurs in reliance

 

12


upon and in conformity with written information furnished by or on behalf of any such Holder, underwriter, controlling Person, or other aforementioned Persons expressly for use in connection with such registration statement by such Holder Indemnitee; provided further, however, that the foregoing indemnity agreement with respect to any preliminary prospectus shall not inure to the benefit of any Holder Indemnitee, from whom the person asserting any such losses, claims, damages or liabilities purchased shares in the offering, if a copy of the prospectus (as then amended or supplemented if the Company shall have furnished any amendments or supplements thereto) was not sent or given by or on behalf of such Holder Indemnitee, if required by law so to have been delivered, at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of the shares to such person, and if the prospectus (as so amended or supplemented) would have cured the defect giving rise to such loss, claim, damage or liability.

(b) To the extent permitted by law, each selling Holder will severally, and not jointly, 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 the Securities Act, legal counsel and accountants for the Company, any underwriter, any other Holder selling securities in such registration statement and any controlling person of any such underwriter or other Holder, against any Damages to the extent that such Damages 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 or on behalf of such Holder expressly for use in connection with such registration statement; and each such Holder will reimburse any person intended to be indemnified pursuant to this Subsection l.9(b), for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such person in connection with investigating or defending any claim or proceeding from which Damages may result, as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Subsection l.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), provided that in no event shall any indemnity under this Subsection l.9(b), when combined with any amounts paid pursuant to Subsection 1.9(d) below, exceed the gross proceeds from the offering (less underwriter’s commissions and discounts) received by such Holder.

(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 1.9 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action) involving the subject matter of the foregoing indemnity provisions, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 1.9, 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 one separate counsel, with the reasonable fees and expenses thereof 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 shall not relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the

 

13


indemnified party under this Section 1.9 except to the extent such delay is materially prejudicial to its ability to defend such action, and the omission so 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(c). No indemnifying party will consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

(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 herein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party hereunder, shall, subject to the limitation set forth in this Section 1.9(d), 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 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. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall the contribution obligation of any Holder set forth in this Section 1.9(d), when combined with any amounts paid or payable by such Holder pursuant to Subsection 1.9(b) above, exceed the gross proceeds from the offering received by such Holder (less underwriter’s commissions and discounts), except in the case of willful misconduct or fraud by such Holder. 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. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) will be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

(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) Unless otherwise superseded by an underwriting agreement entered into in connection with the underwritten public offer, 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 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

1.10 Reports Under Securities Exchange Act of 1934. With a view to making available to the Holders the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated under the Act and any other rule or regulation of the SEC 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:

 

14


(a) make and keep adequate current public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in SEC Rule 144, at all times after the effective date of the Initial Offering;

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

(c) 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 SEC Rule 144 (at any time after ninety (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 with the SEC, and (iii) such other information as may be reasonably requested in availing any Holder of any rule or regulation of the SEC that permits the selling of any such securities without registration or pursuant to such form (at any time after the Company has become subject to the reporting requirements under the Exchange Act) or pursuant to Form S-3 (at any time after the Company so qualifies to use such form).

1.11 Assignment of Registration Rights. The rights to cause the Company to register Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 1 may be assigned (but only with all related obligations and together with the transfer of the Registrable Securities) by a Holder to a transferee or assignee of such securities; provided: (a) the Company is, within a reasonable time 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 agrees in writing, in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to be bound by and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including without limitation the provisions of Section 1.13 below; and (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.

1.12 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 Preferred Stock outstanding, including a Required Vote, enter into any agreement with any holder or prospective holder of any securities of the Company that would allow such holder or prospective holder (a) to include such securities in any registration filed under Sections 1.2, 1.3 and 1.4 hereof, unless under the terms of such agreement, such holder or prospective holder may include such securities in any such registration only to the extent that the inclusion of such securities will not reduce the amount of the Registrable Securities of the Holders that are included or (b) to demand registration of their securities.

1.13 Market Stand Off Agreement. Each Stockholder hereby agrees that it will not, without the prior written consent of the managing underwriter, during the period commencing on the date of the final prospectus relating to the Initial Offering and ending on the date specified by the Company and the managing underwriter (such period not to exceed one hundred eighty (180) days) (the “Restricted Period”) (i) lend, offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option

 

15


or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock held immediately before the effective date of the registration statement for the Initial Offering, or (ii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of such securities, whether any such transaction described in clause (i) or (ii) above is to be settled by delivery of Common Stock or such other securities, in cash or otherwise (the “Lock-Up”). The foregoing provisions of this Section 1.13 (A) shall not apply to the sale of any shares to an underwriter pursuant to an underwriting agreement, (B) shall not apply to any shares of Common Stock acquired in the Initial Offering or in the open market after the Initial Offering and (C) shall only be applicable to the Stockholders if all officers, directors and greater than one percent (1%) stockholders of the Company enter into similar agreements. The underwriters in connection with the Initial Offering are intended third party beneficiaries of this Section 1.13 and shall have the right, power and authority to enforce the provisions hereof as though they were a party hereto. In addition, at the underwriters’ request, each Stockholder shall enter into a lock-up agreement in customary form reflecting the provisions of this Section 1.13.

In order to enforce the foregoing covenant, the Company may impose stop transfer instructions with respect to the Registrable Securities of each Stockholder (and the shares or securities of every other person subject to the foregoing restriction, including the Key Holders) until the end of such period.

If any of the obligations described in this Section 1.13 are waived or terminated with respect to any of the securities of any such Stockholder, officer, director or greater than one-percent stockholder (in any such case, the “Released Securities”), the foregoing provisions shall be waived or terminated, as applicable, to the same extent and with respect to the same percentage of securities of each Stockholder as the percentage of Released Securities represent with respect to the securities held by the applicable Stockholder, officer, director or greater than one-percent stockholder.

Each Stockholder agrees that a legend reading substantially as follows shall be placed on all certificates representing all Registrable Securities of each Stockholder (and the shares or securities of every other person subject to the restriction contained in this Section 1.13):

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO A LOCK-UP PERIOD AFTER THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THE ISSUER’S REGISTRATION STATEMENT FILED UNDER THE ACT, AS AMENDED, OR AFTER ANY SUBSEQUENT OFFERINGS AS SET FORTH IN AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND THE ORIGINAL HOLDER OF THESE SECURITIES, A COPY OF WHICH MAY BE OBTAINED AT THE ISSUER’S PRINCIPAL OFFICE. SUCH LOCK-UP PERIOD IS BINDING ON TRANSFEREES OF THESE SHARES.

 

16


1.14 Termination of Registration Rights. No Holder shall be entitled to exercise any right provided for in this Section 1 after the earlier of (i) the date that is five (5) years following the consummation of the Initial Offering and (ii) as to any Registrable Securities held by the Investors, any time after the Initial Offering when such Registrable Securities may be sold in any 90-day period without registration and without regard to volume and manner of sale limitation (and, if and to the extent that the Company is in breach of Subsection 1.10 above, without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144(c)(1)) in compliance with Rule 144 promulgated under the Act.

2. Restrictions on Transfer.

2.1 Reserved.

2.2 Restrictions on Transfer.

(a) The Capital Stock shall not be sold, pledged, or otherwise transferred, and the Company shall not recognize and shall issue stop-transfer instructions to its transfer agent with respect to any such sale, pledge, or transfer, except upon the conditions specified in this Agreement, which conditions are intended to ensure compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act. A transferring Stockholder will cause any proposed purchaser, pledgee, or transferee of the Capital Stock held by such Stockholder to agree to take and hold such securities subject to the provisions and upon the conditions specified in this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not require any transferee of Capital Stock pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or, following the Initial Offering, SEC Rule 144 to be bound by the terms of this Agreement.

(b) Each certificate or instrument representing (i) Capital Stock, and (ii) any other securities issued in respect of the securities referenced in clause (i), upon any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, or similar event, shall (unless otherwise permitted by the provisions of Subsection 2.2(c)) be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend substantially in the following form:

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933. SUCH SHARES MAY NOT BE SOLD, PLEDGED, OR TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR A VALID EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION AND PROSPECTUS DELIVERY REQUIREMENTS OF SAID ACT.

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY MAY BE TRANSFERRED ONLY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND THE STOCKHOLDER, A COPY OF WHICH IS ON FILE WITH THE SECRETARY OF THE COMPANY.

The Stockholders consent to the Company making a notation in its records and giving instructions to any transfer agent of the Restricted Securities in order to implement the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Subsection 2.2.

 

17


(c) The holder of each certificate representing Restricted Securities, by acceptance thereof, agrees to comply in all respects with the provisions of this Section 2. Before any proposed sale, pledge, or transfer of any Restricted Securities, unless there is in effect a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the proposed transaction or, following the Initial Offering, the transfer is made pursuant to SEC Rule 144, the Stockholder thereof shall give notice to the Company of such Stockholder’s intention to effect such sale, pledge, or transfer. Each such notice shall describe the manner and circumstances of the proposed sale, pledge, or transfer in sufficient detail and, if reasonably requested by the Company, shall be accompanied at such Stockholder’s expense by either (i) a written opinion of legal counsel who shall, and whose legal opinion shall, be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, addressed to the Company, to the effect that the proposed transaction may be effected without registration under the Securities Act; (ii) a “no action” letter from the SEC to the effect that the proposed sale, pledge, or transfer of such Restricted Securities without registration will not result in a recommendation by the staff of the SEC that action be taken with respect thereto; or (iii) any other evidence reasonably satisfactory to counsel to the Company to the effect that the proposed sale, pledge, or transfer of the Restricted Securities may be effected without registration under the Securities Act, whereupon the Stockholder of such Restricted Securities shall be entitled to sell, pledge, or transfer such Restricted Securities in accordance with the terms of the notice given by the Stockholder to the Company. The Company will not require such a legal opinion or “no action” letter (x) in any transaction in compliance with SEC Rule 144 or (y) in any transaction in which such Stockholder distributes Restricted Securities to an Affiliate of such Stockholder for no consideration; provided that, with respect to transfers under the foregoing clause (y), each transferee agrees in writing to be subject to the terms of this Subsection 2.2. Each certificate or instrument evidencing the Restricted Securities transferred as above provided shall bear, except if such transfer is made pursuant to SEC Rule 144 or pursuant to an effective registration statement, the appropriate restrictive legend set forth in Subsection 2.2(b), except that such certificate shall not bear such restrictive legend if, in the opinion of counsel for such Stockholder and the Company, such legend is not required in order to establish compliance with any provisions of the Securities Act.

3. Information Rights; Observer Rights.

3.1 Delivery of Financial Statements. The Company shall deliver to (i) each Key Holder and/or each Investor beneficially holding (calculated on the basis of Section 13 of the Exchange Act) at least two percent (2%) of the Capital Stock then issued and outstanding (treating the Preferred Stock on an as converted basis), (ii) each T. Rowe Price Investor beneficially holding any Capital Stock, (iii) the Durable Capital Investor so long as it holds any Capital Stock, (iv) any Investor designated by the Company as an Eligible Investor (each recipient in clause (i), (ii), (iii), and (iv) an “Eligible Investor”), and (v) Foxhaven Master Fund, LP and Foxway, LP so long as it holds any Capital Stock:

18


(c) concurrently with the delivery of the financial statements described in Subsections 3.1(a) and 3.1(b), a statement showing the number of shares of each class and series of capital stock and securities convertible into or exercisable for shares of capital stock outstanding at the end of the applicable period, the Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exercise of any outstanding securities convertible or exercisable for Common Stock and the exchange ratio or exercise price applicable thereto, and the number of shares of issued stock options and stock options not yet issued but reserved for issuance, if any, all in sufficient detail as to permit the Eligible Investors to calculate their respective percentage equity ownership in the Company, and certified by the chief financial officer or chief executive officer of the Company as being true, complete, and correct;

(d) as soon as practicable, but in any event thirty (30) days before the end of each fiscal year, a budget and business plan for the next fiscal year (collectively, the “Budget”), approved by at least a majority of the Board of Directors, including a Series B Director and a Series C Director, and prepared on a monthly basis, including balance sheets, income statements, and statements of cash flow for such months and, promptly after prepared, any other budgets or revised budgets prepared by the Company;

(f) such other information relating to the financial condition, business, prospects, or corporate affairs of the Company as any Eligible Investor may from time to time reasonably request; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated under this Subsection 3.1 to provide information (i) that the Company reasonably determines in good faith to be a trade secret or confidential information (unless covered by an enforceable confidentiality agreement, in a form acceptable to the Company) or (ii) the disclosure of which would adversely affect the attorney-client privilege between the Company and its counsel.

If, for any period, the Company has any subsidiary whose accounts are consolidated with those of the Company, then in respect of such period the financial statements delivered pursuant to the foregoing sections shall be the consolidated and consolidating financial statements of the Company and all such consolidated subsidiaries.

Notwithstanding anything else in this Subsection 3.1 to the contrary, the Company may cease providing the information set forth in this Subsection 3.1 during the period starting with the date thirty (30) days before the Company’s good-faith estimate of the date of filing of a registration statement if it reasonably concludes it must do so to comply with the SEC rules applicable to such registration statement and related offering; provided that the Company’s covenants under this Subsection 3.1 shall be reinstated at such time as the Company is no longer actively employing its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective.

 

19


3.2 Inspection. The Company shall permit each Eligible Investor (provided that the Board of Directors has not reasonably determined that such Eligible Investor is a Competitor of the Company), at such Eligible Investor’s expense, to visit and inspect the Company’s properties; examine its books of account and records; and discuss the Company’s affairs, finances, and accounts with its officers, during normal business hours of the Company as may be reasonably requested by the Eligible Investor; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated pursuant to this Subsection 3.2 to provide access to any information that it reasonably and in good faith considers to be a trade secret or confidential information (unless covered by an enforceable confidentiality agreement, in form acceptable to the Company) or the disclosure of which would adversely affect the attorney-client privilege between the Company and its counsel.

3.3 T. Rowe Price and Durable Information Rights. The Company shall promptly and accurately respond, and shall use its best efforts to cause its transfer agent to promptly respond, to requests for information made on behalf of any T. Rowe Price Investor or the Durable Capital Investor relating to (a) accounting or securities law matters required in connection with its audit or (b) the actual holdings of such T. Rowe Price Investor or Durable Capital Investor as applicable, including in relation to the total outstanding shares; provided however, that the Company shall not be obligated to provide any such information that could reasonably result in a violation of applicable law or conflict with the Company’s insider trading policy or a confidentiality obligation of the Company. On or prior to the effectiveness of the Initial Offering, the Company shall provide each T. Rowe Price Investor and the Durable Capital Investor written confirmation of its equity holdings in the Company (on an as-converted to Common Stock basis).

3.4 Observer Rights.

(a) As long as the T. Rowe Price Investors collectively own not less than 400,510 shares of Series C Preferred Stock, Series D Preferred Stock, Series E Preferred Stock, Series F Preferred Stock, Series G Preferred Stock and/or Series H Preferred Stock (as adjusted for any stock split, stock dividend, combination, or other recapitalization or reclassification effected after the date hereof) (or an equivalent amount of Common Stock issued upon conversion thereof), the Company shall invite a representative of T. Rowe Price to attend all meetings of its Board of Directors in a nonvoting observer capacity and, in this respect, shall give such representative copies of all notices, minutes, consents, and other materials that it provides to its directors at the same time and in the same manner as provided to such directors; provided, however, that such representative 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 representative 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 Investor or its representative is a Competitor of the Company.

 

20


(b) The Company shall invite a representative of the Durable Capital Investor to attend all meetings of its Board of Directors in a nonvoting observer capacity and, in this respect, shall give such representative copies of all notices, minutes, consents, and other materials that it provides to its directors at the same time and in the same manner as provided to such directors; provided, however, that such representative 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 representative 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 Investor or its representative is a Competitor of the Company.

(c) The Company shall invite one representative of the Cascade Investor to attend (in person or telephonically) all meetings of its Board of Directors in a nonvoting observer capacity and, in this respect, shall give such representative copies of all notices, minutes, consents and other material that the Company provides to the members of its Board at the same time and in the same manner as provided to such members (except when the representative is excluded from a meeting in order to preserve attorney-client privilege or when the representative’s presence would result in a conflict of interest, as set forth below); provided, however, that such representative shall agree to hold in confidence and trust all information so provided in accordance with Section 3.6(a) of this Agreement; and, provided further, that the representative may be excluded from access to any material or meeting or portion thereof if the Board determines upon advice of counsel that such exclusion is reasonably necessary to preserve the attorney-client privilege between the Company and its counsel, to avoid a conflict of interest between the lawful interests of the Company and/or any of its subsidiaries, on the one hand, and the representative, on the other hand, or to protect highly confidential proprietary information.

3.5 [Reserved]

3.6 Confidentiality.

(a) Each Investor agrees that such Investor will keep confidential and will not disclose, divulge, or use for any purpose (other than to monitor its investment in the Company) any confidential information obtained from the Company pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (including notice of the Company’s intention to file a registration statement), unless such confidential information (a) is known or becomes known to the public in general (other than as a result of a breach of this Subsection 3.6 by such Investor), (b) is or has been independently developed or conceived by the Investor without use of the Company’s confidential information, or (c) is or has been made known or disclosed to the Investor by a third party without a breach of any obligation of confidentiality such third party may have to the Company; provided, however, that an Investor may disclose confidential information (i) to its attorneys, accountants, consultants, and other professionals to the extent necessary to obtain their services in connection with monitoring its investment in the Company; (ii) to any prospective purchaser of any Capital Stock from such Investor, if such prospective purchaser agrees in writing to be bound by the provisions of this Subsection 3.6; (iii) to any existing or prospective Affiliate, partner, member, stockholder, or wholly owned subsidiary of such Investor in the ordinary course of business, provided that such Investor informs such Person that such information is confidential and directs such Person to maintain the confidentiality of such information; or (iv) as may otherwise be required by law, court order or an applicable governmental or regulatory body, provided that the Investor promptly notifies the Company of such disclosure and takes reasonable steps to minimize the extent of any

 

21


such required disclosure. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of any Investor that is (i) a registered investment company within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or (ii) is advised by a registered investment adviser (including T. Rowe Price) or Affiliates thereof, such Investor may identify the Company and the value of such Investor’s security holdings in the Company in accordance with applicable investment reporting and disclosure regulations and respond to routine examinations, demands, requests or reporting requirements of a regulator without prior notice to or consent from the Company.

(b) The Company understands and acknowledges that in the regular course of a T. Rowe Price Investor’s business, the T. Rowe Price Investor may invest in companies that have issued securities that are publicly traded (each, a “Public Company”). Accordingly, the Company covenants and agrees that before providing material non-public information about a Public Company (“Public Company Information”) to a T. Rowe Price Investor, the Company will provide prior written notice to the following compliance personnel at such Investor describing such information in reasonable detail: Ryan Nolan, Vice President, #########@troweprice.com, ###-###_#### or in his absence to Ellen York, Legal Counsel, #########@troweprice.com, ###-###_####. The Company shall not disclose Public Company Information to such T. Rowe Price Investor without written authorization from such compliance personnel, provided, however, that, the Company will be permitted to disclose agreements entered into with Public Companies in the ordinary course of business, such as routine customer, supplier, advertising and publishing agreements without such written authorization.

(c) The Company understands and acknowledges that AutoNation is in the automotive retail business and may pursue the same or similar investment or business opportunities as the Company, and the Company agrees that nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit AutoNation from pursuing such investment or business opportunities.

(d) The Company understands and acknowledges that the Durable Capital Investor may invest in a Public Company. Accordingly, the Company covenants and agrees that before providing Public Company Information to the Durable Capital Investor the Company will provide prior written notice to the following compliance personnel at such Investor describing such information in reasonable detail: Julie Jack, General Counsel and Chief Compliance Office, #####@durablecap.com. The Company shall not disclose Public Company Information to the Durable Capital Investor without written authorization from such compliance personnel, provided, however, that, the Company will be permitted to disclose agreements entered into with Public Companies in the ordinary course of business, such as routine customer, supplier, advertising and publishing agreements without such written authorization.

4. Rights to Future Stock Issuances.

4.1 Right of First Offer. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Subsection 4.1 and applicable securities laws, if the Company proposes to offer or sell any New Securities, the Company shall first offer such New Securities to each Investor and the Key Holders. An Investor shall be entitled to apportion the right of first offer hereby granted to it in such proportions as it deems appropriate, among (i) itself, (ii) its Affiliates and (iii) its beneficial interest holders, such as limited partners, members or any other Person having “beneficial ownership,” as such term is defined in Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act, of such Investor (“Investor

 

22


Beneficial Owners”); provided that, each such Affiliate or Investor Beneficial Owner: (x) is not a Competitor or FOIA Party, unless such party’s purchase of New Securities is otherwise consented to by the Board of Directors, (y) agrees to enter into this Agreement and each of the Voting Agreement and Right of First Refusal and Co-Sale Agreement of even date herewith among the Company, the Investors and the other parties named therein, as an “Investor” under each such agreement (provided that, any Competitor or FOIA Party shall not be entitled to any rights as an Investor under Subsections 3.1, 3.2 and 4.1 hereof), and (z) agrees to purchase Common Stock or other New Securities that are convertible into or the equivalent of at least 50,000 shares of Common Stock.

(a) The Company shall give notice (the “Offer Notice”) to each Investor and Key Holder, stating (i) its bona fide intention to offer such New Securities, (ii) the number and type of such New Securities to be offered, and (iii) the price and terms, if any, upon which it proposes to offer such New Securities.

(b) By notification to the Company within fifteen (15) days after the Offer Notice is given, each Investor and Key Holder may elect to purchase or otherwise acquire, at the price and on the terms specified in the Offer Notice, up to that portion of such New Securities which equals the proportion that the Common Stock issued and held, or issuable (directly or indirectly) upon conversion and/or exercise, as applicable, of the Preferred Stock and any other Derivative Securities then held, by such Investor or Key Holder bears to the total Common Stock of the Company then outstanding (assuming full conversion and/or exercise, as applicable, of all Preferred Stock and other Derivative Securities). At the expiration of such fifteen (15) day period, the Company shall promptly notify each Investor or Key Holder that elects to purchase or acquire all the shares available to it (each, a “Fully Exercising Investor”) of any other Investor’s and Key Holder’s failure to do likewise. During the ten (10) day period commencing after the Company has given such notice, each Fully Exercising Investor may, by giving notice to the Company, elect to purchase or acquire, in addition to the number of shares specified above, up to that portion of the New Securities for which Investors and Key Holders were entitled to subscribe but that were not subscribed for by the Investors and Key Holders which is equal to the proportion that the Common Stock issued and held, or issuable (directly or indirectly) upon conversion and/or exercise, as applicable, of Preferred Stock and any other Derivative Securities then held, by such Fully Exercising Investor bears to the Common Stock issued and held, or issuable (directly or indirectly) upon conversion and/or exercise, as applicable, of the Preferred Stock and any other Derivative Securities then held, by all Fully Exercising Investors who wish to purchase such unsubscribed shares. The closing of any sale pursuant to this Subsection 4.1(b) shall occur within the later of ninety (90) days of the date that the Offer Notice is given and the date of initial sale of New Securities pursuant to Subsection 4.1(c).

(c) If all New Securities referred to in the Offer Notice are not elected to be purchased or acquired as provided in Subsection 4.1(b), the Company may, during the ninety (90) day period following the expiration of the periods provided in Subsection 4.1(b), offer and sell the remaining unsubscribed portion of such New Securities to any Person or Persons at a price not less than, and upon terms no more favorable to the offeree than, those specified in the Offer Notice. If the Company does not enter into an agreement for the sale of the New Securities within such period, or if such agreement is not consummated within thirty (30) days of the execution thereof, the right provided hereunder shall be deemed to be revived and such New Securities shall not be offered or sold unless first reoffered to the Investors and Key Holders in accordance with this Subsection 4.1.

 

23


(d) The right of first offer in this Subsection 4.1 shall not be applicable to (i) Exempted Securities (as defined in the Charter); and (ii) shares of Common Stock issued in the Initial Offering.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4, the rights in this Section 4 shall not be extended to any Investor or Key Holder that is not an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in the Securities Act. Nothing in this paragraph (e) shall affect the rights of any accredited investor.

(f) In the event that the rights of a Significant Investor to purchase New Securities under this Section 4.1 are waived with respect to a particular offering of New Securities without such Investor’s prior written consent (a “Waived Investor”) and any Investor that participated in waiving such rights actually purchases New Securities in such offering, then the Company shall grant, and hereby grants, each Waived Investor the right to purchase, in a subsequent closing of such issuance on substantially the same terms and conditions, the same percentage of its full pro rata share of such New Securities as the highest percentage of any such purchasing Investor.

5. Additional Covenants.

5.1 Insurance. The Company currently maintains, from financially sound and reputable insurers, Directors and Officers liability insurance in the amount of at least $5,000,000, and it shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, within sixty (60) days after the date hereof, term “key person” insurance on Mr. Paul J. Hennessy, in an amount and on terms and conditions satisfactory to the Board of Directors, and it will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such insurance policies to be maintained until such time as the Board of Directors determines that such insurance should be discontinued. The key person policies shall name the Company as loss payee, and neither the D&O insurance policy nor the “key person” insurance policies shall be cancelable by the Company without prior approval by the Board of Directors.

5.2 Employment Agreements. It is acknowledged that the Company has entered into agreements which include non-competition covenants with each of Kevin Westfall, Marshall Chesrown, Elie Wurtman, Allon Bloch, Michael Welch, Richard Williams and Paul J. Hennessy. The Company shall not amend, modify, terminate, waive, or otherwise alter, in whole or in part, any of the non-competition covenants in the above-referenced agreements without the consent of a Series C Director.

5.3 Employee Stock. Except as otherwise approved by the Board of Directors, including a Series B Director and a Series C Director, all future employees and consultants of the Company who purchase, receive options to purchase, or receive awards of shares of the Company’s capital stock after the date hereof shall be required to execute restricted stock or option agreements, as applicable, providing for (i) vesting of the shares or options over a four (4) year period, with the first twenty-five percent (25%) of such shares vesting following twelve (12) months of continued employment or service, and the remaining shares vesting in equal monthly

 

24


installments over the following thirty-six (36) months, and (ii) a market stand-off provision substantially similar to that in Subsection 1.13. In addition, unless otherwise approved by at least a majority of the Board of Directors, including a Series B Director and a Series C Director, the Company shall retain a “right of first refusal” on employee transfers of subject shares until the Initial Offering and shall have the right to repurchase unvested shares at cost upon termination of employment of a holder of restricted stock.

The Company shall maintain a compensation committee, which shall consist solely of non-management directors, with the compensation committee comprised as set forth in Section 5.4(c). Each non-employee director shall be entitled in such person’s discretion to be a member of any Board committee.

(b) Consent of a majority of the Board of Directors, which majority shall include a Series B Director and a Series C Director, shall be required for approval of the incurrence of any new indebtedness (other than debt incurred for the sole purpose of acquiring vehicle inventory, which debt was also approved as part of the Budget).

(c) The Board of Directors shall establish a compensation committee comprised as provided in the Company’s Voting Agreement. Approval of the Compensation Committee shall be required for any issuance of options or other equity awards and/or any changes to the compensation of any Key Holder, including, but not limited to, the determination of bonuses and establishment of criteria for bonuses.

5.5 Successor Indemnification. If the Company or any of its successors or assignees consolidates with or merges into any other Person and is not the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger, then to the extent necessary, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assignees of the Company assume the obligations of the Company with respect to indemnification of members of the Board of Directors as in effect immediately before such transaction, whether such obligations are contained in the Company’s Bylaws, its Charter as then in effect, or elsewhere, as the case may be.

5.6 Selection of Auditors. The Company’s selection of a nationally recognized independent public accounting firm as its independent auditors shall be subject to the approval by the Investors representing the holders of at least fifty percent (50%) of the shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock and Series D Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class.

5.7 Indemnification Matters. The Company hereby acknowledges that one (1) or more of the directors nominated to serve on the Board of Directors by the Investors (each a “Fund Director”) may have certain rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and/or insurance provided by one or more of the Investors and certain of their affiliates (collectively, the “Fund Indemnitors”). The Company hereby agrees (a) that it is the indemnitor of first resort (i.e.,

 

25


its obligations to any such Fund Director are primary and any obligation of the Fund Indemnitors to advance expenses or to provide indemnification for the same expenses or liabilities incurred by such Fund Director are secondary), (b) that it shall be required to advance the full amount of expenses incurred by such Fund Director and shall be liable for the full amount of all expenses, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement by or on behalf of any such Fund Director to the extent legally permitted and as required by the Charter or Bylaws of the Company (or any agreement between the Company and such Fund Director), without regard to any rights such Fund Director may have against the Fund Indemnitors, and (c) that it irrevocably waives, relinquishes and releases the Fund Indemnitors from any and all claims against the Fund Indemnitors for contribution, subrogation or any other recovery of any kind in respect thereof. The Company further agrees that no advancement or payment by the Fund Indemnitors on behalf of any such Fund Director with respect to any claim for which such Fund Director has sought indemnification from the Company shall affect the foregoing and the fund Indemnitors shall have a right of contribution and/or be subrogated to the extent of such advancement or payment to all of the rights of recovery of such Fund Director against the Company.

5.8 Preferred Stock Protective Provision regarding President and CEO. So long as CGP2 Zoom Holding, L.P. and/or CGP2 Lone Star, L.P. remain(s) entitled to designate a director of the Company that the holders of record of the Series C Preferred Stock and the Series D Preferred Stock are entitled to elect pursuant to the Charter, the Company hereby covenants and agrees with each of the Investors that it shall not hire a new Chief Executive Officer or a new President without written consent of the holders of 70% of the issued and outstanding Preferred Stock, voting together as a separate class (on an as-converted basis), unless such hire shall have been approved by the Board, including the affirmative vote of a Series C Director.

5.9 FCPA. The Company agrees that it shall not (and shall not permit any of its subsidiaries or affiliates or any of its or their respective directors, officers, managers, employees, independent contractors, representatives or agents to) promise, authorize or make any payment to, or otherwise contribute any item of value to, directly or indirectly, to any third party, including any Non-U.S. Official (as such term is defined in the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended (the “FCPA”)), in each case, in violation of the FCPA, the U.K. Bribery Act, or any other applicable anti-bribery or anti-corruption law. The Company further agrees that it shall (and shall cause each of its subsidiaries and affiliates to) cease all of its or their respective activities, as well as remediate any actions taken by the Company, it subsidiaries or affiliates, or any of their respective directors, officers, managers, employees, independent contractors, representatives or agents in violation of the FCPA, the U.K. Bribery Act, or any other applicable anti-bribery or anti-corruption law. The Company further agrees that it shall (and shall cause each of its subsidiaries and affiliates to) maintain systems of internal controls (including, but not limited to, accounting systems, purchasing systems and billing systems) to ensure compliance with the FCPA, the U.K. Bribery Act, or any other applicable anti-bribery or anti-corruption law. Upon request, the Company agrees to provide responsive information and/or certifications concerning it compliance with applicable anti-corruption laws. The Company shall promptly notify each Investor if the Company becomes aware of any Enforcement Action (as defined in the Purchase Agreement). The Company shall, and shall cause any direct or indirect subsidiary or entity controlled by it, whether now in existence or formed in the future, to comply with the FCPA. The Company shall use its best efforts to cause any direct or indirect subsidiary, whether now in existence or formed in the future, to comply in all material respects with all applicable laws.

 

26


5.10 Regulatory Compliance. Promptly after the date hereof, the Company shall take commercially reasonable steps (which shall include, without limitation, engaging an advisor with significant experience with federal and state consumer finance, automobile dealer and other relevant consumer protection laws and regulations) to (1) undertake an analysis and/or survey of consumer protection laws, regulations, licensing, registration and similar requirements that are or may be applicable to the Company and its subsidiaries and the conduct and operation of the business of the Company and its subsidiaries as presently conducted and as proposed to be conducted and (2) implement a course of action to ensure substantial compliance with applicable laws, regulations, licensing, registration and similar requirements, including, without limitation, federal and state consumer finance, automobile dealer and other relevant consumer protection laws and regulations. The Company shall keep the Eligible Investors generally informed of the status of its undertakings pursuant to the foregoing clauses (1) and (2) by providing periodic updates to the Eligible Investors; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated under this Section 5.10 to provide information the disclosure of which would adversely affect the attorney-client privilege between the Company and its counsel.

5.11 Durable Consent to Deemed Liquidation Event. For so long as the Durable Capital Investor and/or its Affiliates holds at least 937,740 shares of Series H Preferred Stock (subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination or other similar recapitalization with respect to the Series H Preferred Stock), without the prior written approval of the Durable Capital Investor, the Company shall not, other than as required by its obligations under Section 3.5 of the Voting Agreement, consummate a Series H Company Sale that would result in the holders of Series H Preferred Stock receiving an amount deemed paid or distributed (calculated in accordance with Section B.2 of Article Fourth of the Charter) per share of Series H Preferred Stock that is less than $27.19305 (subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of a stock split, stock dividend, combination, reclassification or similar event affecting the Series H Preferred Stock), disregarding any consideration that is placed into escrow or subject to contingencies. For purposes of this Section 5.11, a “Series H Company Sale” means a Sale of the Company (as defined in the Voting Agreement (as in effect on the date hereof)); provided, that, for purposes of this definition only, any of the transactions described in Section 2.3.1 of Article Fourth of the Charter as in effect from time to time shall be treated as a Deemed Liquidation Event (as defined in the Charter) whether or not certain stockholders of the Company elect not to treat such transaction as a Deemed Liquidation Event pursuant to the first sentence of Section 2.3.1 of Article Fourth of the Charter.

5.12 Termination of Covenants. The covenants set forth in Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 4 and 5 hereof, except for Subsections 5.5 and 5.7 and 5.11, shall terminate and be of no further force or effect (i) immediately before the consummation of the Initial Offering or when the Company first becomes subject to the periodic reporting requirements of Sections 12(g) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, or (ii) upon a Deemed Liquidation Event, as such term is defined in the Charter, whichever event occurs first; provided, however, that Sections 3.1 and 3.2 shall not terminate upon a Deemed Liquidation Event unless the consideration to be received by the Investors is solely in the form of cash and/or marketable securities.

29


of the AutoNation Investor; and (D) Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4(b), 3.6(d), 5.11 and/or 5.12 of this Agreement may not be amended or terminated and the observance of any term hereof may not be waived in a manner that is materially adverse to the Durable Capital Investor without the prior written consent of the Durable Capital Investor.

6.10 Delays or Omissions. No delay or omission to exercise any right, power, or remedy accruing to any party under this Agreement, upon any breach or default of any other party under this Agreement, shall impair any such right, power, or remedy of such nonbreaching or nondefaulting party, nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of or acquiescence to any such breach or default, or to any similar breach or default thereafter occurring, nor shall any waiver of any single breach or default be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default theretofore or thereafter occurring. All remedies, whether under this Agreement or by law or otherwise afforded to any party, shall be cumulative and not alternative.

6.11 Acknowledgment. The Company acknowledges that the Investors are in the business of venture capital investing and therefore review the business plans and related proprietary information of many enterprises, including enterprises which may have products or services which compete directly or indirectly with those of the Company.
