1.5 Visitation Rights.

The decision of the Board with respect to the privileged or confidential nature of such information or whether a conflict of interest exists shall be final and binding.

1.6 Legend.

(a) Each stock certificate representing the Key Holder Shares and Investor Shares shall be imprinted with the following restrictive legend (the “Legend”):

“THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF A VOTING AGREEMENT WHICH PLACES CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS ON THE VOTING OF THE SHARES REPRESENTED HEREBY. ANY PERSON ACCEPTING ANY INTEREST IN SUCH SHARES SHALL BE DEEMED TO AGREE TO AND SHALL BECOME BOUND BY ALL THE PROVISIONS OF SUCH AGREEMENT. A COPY OF SUCH VOTING AGREEMENT WILL BE FURNISHED TO THE RECORD HOLDER OF THIS CERTIFICATE WITHOUT CHARGE UPON WRITTEN REQUEST TO THE COMPANY AT ITS PRINCIPAL PLACE OF BUSINESS.”

(b) The Company agrees that, during the term of this Agreement, it will not remove, and will not permit to be removed (upon registration of transfer, reissuance of otherwise), the Legend from any such certificate and will place or cause to be placed the Legend on any new certificate issued to represent Investor Shares or Key Holders Shares theretofore represented by a certificate carrying the Legend.

 

4.


1.7 Successors. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon the successors in interest to any of the Key Holder Shares or Investor Shares. The Company shall not permit the transfer of any of the Key Holder Shares or Investor Shares on its books or issue a new certificate representing any of the Key Holder Shares or Investor Shares unless and until the person to whom such security is to be transferred shall have executed a written agreement, substantially in the form of this Agreement, pursuant to which such person becomes a party to this Agreement and agrees to be bound by all the provisions hereof as if such person were a Key Holder or Investor, as applicable.

1.8 Change of Control. In the event that holders of at least (i) sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66 2/3%) of the Series B-1 Stock (voting as a separate class), and (ii) seventy-five percent (75%) of the Series D-1 Stock and Series E Stock (voting together as a single class) (collectively, the “Requisite Investors”) approve any acquisition of the Company by another entity by means of any transaction or series of related transactions (including, without limitation, any merger, tender offer, stock sale, stock exchange, reorganization or other business combination) in which the holders of the Company’s issued and outstanding voting securities immediately prior to such transaction, do not own or control at least a majority of the combined voting power of the voting securities of the surviving entity (or its parent) in substantially the same proportion as their ownership prior to such transaction (except as provided herein or in connection with an internal restructuring, reorganization or recapitalization of the Company), or any sale, lease or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or the exclusive license of substantially all of the intellectual property of the Company to a third party (each, a “Sale of the Company”); provided, however, that, a Sale of the Company shall not include (x) any consolidation or merger effected exclusively to change the domicile of the Company or (y) any transaction or series of transactions that are principally for bona fide equity financing purposes in which cash is received by the Company or indebtedness of the Company is cancelled or converted or a combination thereof (such approved Sale of the Company, an “Approved Sale”), the Key Holders and Investors shall each consent to vote for and raise no objections to the Approved Sale, and (i) if the Approved Sale is structured as a merger or consolidation of the Company, or a sale, lease or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or the exclusive license of substantially all of the intellectual property of the Company to a third party, the Key Holders and Investors shall each waive any dissenters rights, appraisal rights or similar rights in connection with the Approved Sale, or (ii) if the Approved Sale is structured as a sale of the stock of the Company, the Key Holders and Investors shall each agree to sell their Key Holder Shares and Investor Shares on the terms and conditions approved by the Requisite Investors, provided such terms do not provide that the Key Holder or Investor would receive less than the relative amount (as compared to other classes of stockholders of the Company) that would be distributed to such Key Holder or Investor in the event the proceeds of the sale of the Company were distributed in accordance with the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation as in effect on the date hereof. The Key Holders and the Investors shall each take all necessary and desirable actions approved by the Requisite Holders in connection with the consummation of the Approved Sale, including the execution of such agreements and such instruments and other actions reasonably necessary to (i) provide the representations, warranties, indemnities, covenants, conditions, non-compete agreements (with respect only to the Key Holders), escrow agreements and other provisions and agreements relating to such Approved Sale and (ii) effectuate the allocation and distribution of the aggregate consideration upon the Approved Sale; provided, however, that (A) no Key Holder or Investor

 

5.


compelled to take any action contemplated by this Section 1.8 in connection with the Approved Sale shall be required to make any representations or warranties regarding the Company, (B) any indemnification obligation or other contractual liability of any Key Holder or Investor incurred in connection with the Approved Sale shall be apportioned among the stockholders of the Company in proportion to the amount of consideration to be received by each stockholder and, in any event, shall be limited to the amount of consideration, if any, placed in escrow pursuant to such Approved Sale, (C) any such escrow shall be limited in duration to no more than one (1) year following the closing of such Approved Sale, (D) no more than 10% of the aggregate consideration relating to such Approved Sale shall be subject to any such escrow agreement or provision, and (E) any escrowed amounts shall be both withheld from and distributed out of such escrow account pro rata in accordance with each stockholder’s aggregate proceeds from the Approved Sale.

1.9 Irrevocable Proxy. To secure the Key Holder’s and the Investor’s obligations to vote the Key Holder Shares and the Investor Shares in accordance with this Agreement, each Key Holder and each Investor hereby grants to a stockholder designated by the Board of Directors an irrevocable proxy to vote all of such Key Holder’s Key Holder Shares or such Investor’s Investor Shares as set forth in this Agreement and to execute all appropriate instruments consistent with this Agreement on behalf of such Key Holder or Investor if, and only if, such Key Holder or Investor fails to vote all of such Key Holder’s Key Holder Shares or such Investor’s Investor Shares or execute such other instruments in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement within five (5) business days of the Company’s or any other party’s written request for such Key Holder’s or Investor’s written consent or signature. The proxy and power granted by each Key Holder and Investor pursuant to this Section are coupled with an interest and are given to secure the performance of such party’s duties under this Agreement. Each such proxy and power will be irrevocable for the term of this Agreement. The proxy and power, so long as any party hereto is an individual, will survive the death, incompetency and disability of such party or any other individual holder of the Key Holder Shares or Investor Shares, as applicable, and, so long as any party hereto is an entity, will survive the merger or reorganization of such party or any other entity holding any Investor Shares or Key Holder Shares.

1.10 Other Rights. Except as provided by this Agreement or any other agreement entered into in connection with the Financing, each Key Holder and Investor shall exercise the full rights of a holder of capital stock of the Company with respect to the Key Holder Shares and the Investor Shares, respectively.

 

2. TERMINATION.

2.1 This Agreement shall continue in full force and effect from the date hereof through the earliest of the following dates, upon which date it shall terminate in its entirety:

(a) the date of the closing of a firmly underwritten public offering of the Common Stock pursuant to a registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and declared effective under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in which the shares of Preferred Stock are converted to Common Stock.

 

6


(b) the date of the closing of an Acquisition or Asset Transfer, each as defined in the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation as in effect as of the date hereof, provided, that in the case of an Asset Transfer, this Agreement will not terminate until all sale proceeds available for distribution to the stockholders are distributed to such stockholders; or

(c) the date as of which the parties hereto terminate this Agreement by written consent of holders of (i) a majority of Common Stock held by the Key Holders then providing services to the Company as officers, directors, employees or consultants, (ii) at least sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66 2/3%) in interest of the holders of Series B-1 Stock (voting as a separate class), and (iii) at least seventy-five percent (75%) in interest of the holders of Series D-1 Stock and Series E Stock (voting together as a single class).

3.3 Specific Performance. The parties hereto hereby declare that it is impossible to measure in money the damages that will accrue to a party hereto or to their heirs, personal representatives, or assigns by reason of a failure to perform any of the obligations under this Agreement and agree that the terms of this Agreement shall be specifically enforceable. If any party hereto or his, her or its heirs, personal representatives, or assigns institutes any action or proceeding to specifically enforce the provisions hereof, any person against whom such action or proceeding is brought hereby waives the claim or defense therein that such party or such personal representative has an adequate remedy at law, and such person shall not offer in any such action or proceeding the claim or defense that such remedy at law exists.
