Except as otherwise provided herein, during the past five years none of the Reporting Person, CS Hldgs USA Inc, CS USA Inc, CS Sec USA LLC, the CS Entities nor, to the best knowledge of the Reporting Person, any of the other persons listed on Schedules A-1 through A-13 attached hereto, has been (i) convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or (ii) a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to United States federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

On January 22, 2002, CSFBC, without admitting or denying any alleged violation, entered into coordinated settlements with NASD Regulation, Inc. (“NASDR”) and the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) resolving all outstanding investigations of CSFBC into the allocation of shares in initial public offerings (“IPOs”). CSFB USA was then the sole stockholder of CSFBC.

CSFBC consented to these settlements without admitting or denying any of the allegations made in the SEC’s Complaint or the Letter of Acceptance, Waiver and Consent (“AWC”) filed with the NASDR. The SEC and NASDR alleged that, between April 1999 and June 2000, certain CSFBC employees allocated many shares in IPOs to over 100 customers with whom they had improper profit-sharing arrangements. The NASDR and SEC alleged that certain employees allocated “hot” IPO shares to certain customers who paid the Firm a portion of the profits (between 33 and 65 percent) that they made when they sold their IPO stock, by paying inflated brokerage commissions on transactions unrelated to the IPO shares.

Under the terms of the coordinated settlement:

 

 

• 

CSFBC paid a total of $100 million. This amount included $30 million in fines and civil penalties divided evenly between the SEC and NASDR, and a total of $70 million in disgorgement, $35 million of which was paid to the U.S. Treasury and $35 million of which was paid to the NASDR, representing the monies obtained as a result of the conduct described by the SEC and NASDR. The SEC determined in this case that it was appropriate and in the public interest to pay funds to the U.S. Treasury rather than to any third parties.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 



 

 

 

 

• 

CSFBC has adopted and implemented revised policies and procedures for allocating IPOs in its broker-dealer operations. The SEC and NASD have reviewed these policies and procedures. These included the establishment of an IPO Allocation Review Committee, a process for the pre-qualification of accounts before they are eligible to receive IPO allocations and enhanced supervisory procedures, which includes the review of commissions paid by certain accounts receiving allocations around the time of the IPO. CSFBC also agreed to retain an independent consultant to review the implementation of these policies and procedures one year from the date of the settlement.

 

In the NASDR settlement, CSFBC, without admitting or denying any findings, consented to a censure and findings that it violated NASD Rules 2110, 2330, 2710, 3010 and 3110. These Rules (a) require broker-dealers to adhere to just and equitable principles of trade, (b) prohibit broker-dealers from sharing in the profits of client accounts except as specifically provided, (c) require a managing underwriter to file certain information that may have a bearing on the NASDR’s review of underwriting arrangements, (d) require members to establish, maintain and enforce a reasonable supervisory system and (e) require broker-dealers to maintain certain books and records.

The NASDR AWC also found violations of Section 17(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and SEC Rule 17a-3, thereunder, which are incorporated by NASD Rule 3110 and similarly impose certain record keeping requirements on CSFBC as a broker-dealer. In the SEC settlement, CSFBC, without admitting or denying the allegations of the Complaint, consented to entry by the District Court for the District of Columbia of a final judgment that: (1) permanently enjoined CSFBC, directly or indirectly, from violations of NASD Conduct Rules 2110 and 2330 and Section 17(a)(1) of the Exchange Act and SEC Rule 17a-3; and (2) ordered CSFBC to comply with certain undertakings.

Neither the SEC nor NASDR made any allegations or findings of fraudulent conduct by CSFBC. Further, neither the SEC nor NASDR alleged that any IPO prospectus was rendered false or misleading by CSFBC’s conduct or that this conduct affected either the offering price of an IPO or the price at which any IPO stock traded in the aftermarket.

On August 13, 2002, Mr. John A. Ehinger, an executive officer of CSFB-USA and board member of CSFB LLC, without admitting or denying any alleged violation, entered into a settlement with the NASD resolving outstanding investigations of Mr. Ehinger into his alleged failure to supervise with a view toward preventing CSFBC’s violations of NASD Rules 2110, 2330, 2710 and 3110, and Section 17(a) of the Exchange Act and SEC Rule 17a-3 thereunder. Under the terms of the settlement, Mr. Ehinger agreed to (1) the payment of a fine of $200,000, (2) a suspension from associating with a member firm in any and all capacities for 30 calendar days and (3) a suspension from acting in any supervisory capacity for 30 additional calendar days, such supervisory suspension beginning after the suspension in all capacities had been served.

On October 31, 2003, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York (the “SDNY”) approved the global settlement among a number of Wall Street firms, including CSFB LLC, and a coalition of state and federal regulators and self-regulatory organizations (the “Global Settlement”). CSFB LLC, without admitting or denying any alleged violation, consented to the Global Settlement and thereby resolved an SEC complaint filed on April 28, 2003, in the SDNY. In this complaint, the SEC alleged that, from July 1998 to December 2001, CSFB LLC engaged in acts and practices that created or maintained inappropriate influence over research analysts, thereby imposing conflicts of interest on research analysts that CSFB LLC failed to manage in an adequate or appropriate manner. The SEC’s complaint also alleged that CSFB LLC engaged in inappropriate “spinning” of “hot” IPO allocations in violation of New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) and NASD Inc. (“NASD”) rules requiring adherence to high business standards and just and equitable principles of trade, and that CSFB LLC’s books and records relating to certain transactions violated the broker-dealer record-keeping provisions of Section 17(a) of the Exchange Act, NYSE Rules 401, 440 and 476(a)(6) and NASD Rules 2110 and 3110.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 



 

 

Under the terms of the Global Settlement:

 

 

• 

CSFB LLC agreed to pay the following amounts: $75 million as a penalty, $75 million as disgorgement of commissions and other monies for restitution for investors, and $50 million to be used to fund independent research. This $50 million to fund independent research is payable over a five year period.

    CSFB LLC is required, among other things, to: (i) separate its research and investment banking departments and make independent research available to investors, (ii) prohibit its analysts from receiving compensation for investment banking activities and prohibit analysts’ involvement in investment banking “pitches” and “roadshows,” (iii) contract, for a five-year period, with no fewer than three independent research firms that will make available independent research to CSFB LLC’s customers and (iv) make its analysts’ historical price targets (among other things) publicly available.
    CSFB LLC is permanently restrained and enjoined from violating Sections 15(e) and 17(a) of the Exchange Act, Exchange Act Rules 15c1-2 and 17a-3, NASD Rules 2110, 2210, 3010, and 3110, and NYSE Rules 342, 401, 440, 472, and 476.

 

Other Wall Street firms were subject to similar requirements.

2006, pursuant to which the CS Trust Entities deposited the Trust Shares into a voting trust. The Trustee is the record holder of the Trust Shares, and the CS Trust Entities hold trust certificates representing the Trust Shares. Pursuant to the Voting Trust Agreement, the Trustee has the exclusive right to vote the Trust Shares. Generally, the Trustee will vote the Trust Shares on a pro rata basis proportionate to all other votes cast on a particular matter. While the Trustee has the exclusive right to vote the Trust Shares, the CS Trust Entities, subject to certain limitations, will have the power to dispose of, or direct the disposition of, the Trust Shares beginning 100 days after September 21, 2006 (when the lock-up provision of the Voting Trust Agreement terminates). The CS Trust Entities also retain the right to receive all dividends paid on the Trust Shares.

The description of the Voting Trust Agreement in this Item 6 is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the Voting Trust Agreement, attached hereto as Exhibit 1, which is incorporated by reference in its entirety into this Item 6.

Lock-up Agreement

Pursuant to a letter dated March 9, 2006, from Credit Suisse, DLJCC, ESC II, First ESC, DLJ International, DLJMB Funding, DLJMB Partners and DLJ Offshore (collectively, the “Lock-up Participants”) to the Company, CS Sec USA LLC and Goldman, Sachs & Co., the Lock-up Participants entered into an agreement (the “Lock-up Agreement”) whereby the Lock-up Participants agreed not to offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any shares of Common Stock, or enter into a transaction that would have the same effect, or enter into certain other arrangements, from the date of the Lock-up Agreement until and including 180 days after the public offering date (the “Offering Date”) set forth in the Company’s final prospectus (the “Lock-up Period”). However, if the reported last sale price per share of the shares of Common Stock of the Company on the Nasdaq Stock Market’s National Market is at least 50% greater than the initial public offering price per share for 20 of the 30 trading days ending on the last trading day before the 100th day after the Offering Date, then 20% of the shares of the Common Stock subject to the Lock-up Agreement will be released from the restrictions of the Lock-up Agreement on the 101st day after the Offering Date. In addition, during the Lock-up Period the Lock-up Participants will not, without the prior written consent of CS Sec USA LLC and Goldman, Sachs & Co., make any demand for, or exercise any right with respect to, the registration of any shares of Common Stock or any security convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for any shares of Common Stock.

The description of the Lock-up Agreement in this Item 6 is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the Lock-up Agreement, attached hereto as Exhibit 2, which is incorporated by reference in its entirety into this Item 6.

Registration Rights Agreement

DLJMB Partners, L.P., DLJ International, DLJ Offshore, DLJMB Funding, DLJCC, First ESC, ESC II, Sprout Growth, Sprout Capital VII, Sprout IX, Sprout Entrepreneurs, SIPI and Sprout CEO (collectively, the “DLJ Entities”) entered into a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with the Company, dated as of September 27, 2006, which amends and restates the Stockholders’ Agreement (as amended), dated as of May 22, 1996. Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the DLJ Entities have the right, under certain circumstances, to request that the Company effect a registration of certain shares of Common Stock (such shares of Common Stock, the “Registrable Shares”). The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to effect such registration as soon as practicable and to keep such registration continuously effective for a specified period of time. The DLJ Entities also have “piggyback rights,” whereby the DLJ Entities may request that the Company include their Registrable Shares in certain registrations of shares of Common Stock effected by the Company.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 



 

Furthermore, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to qualify for registration on Form S-3, and the DLJ Entities shall have the right, subject to certain limitations, to request registration on Form S-3. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to effect any such registration as soon as practicable and shall keep such registration continuously effective for a specified period of time.

The description of the Registration Rights Agreement in this Item 6 is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the Registration Rights Agreement, attached hereto as Exhibit 3, which is incorporated by reference in its entirety into this Item 6.

The Trustee shall vote all Trust Shares in accordance with this Agreement. The Trustee shall have full power and authority, and it is hereby empowered and authorized, to vote the Trust Shares, and to do any and all other things and take any and all other actions as fully as any stockholder of the Corporation might do if personally present at a meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation.

(c)          Each Holder agrees that it will not communicate with the Trustee in connection with any proceeding in which the vote or consent of the holders of Shares may be required or authorized by law or otherwise seek to influence the Trustee in the exercise of its right to vote or consent in any such proceedings. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Trustee shall vote the Trust Shares (and use its power or right, if any, to designate or remove directors of the Corporation) to prevent the election of more than one CS Affiliate as a director of the Corporation. The duties of the Trustee under this Agreement shall include exercising reasonable effort under this Agreement in a manner that ensures that no CS Affiliate exercises control over the Corporation. CS Private Equity shall promptly provide to the Trustee from time to time, upon request, such information as is reasonably necessary (including certificates or other documents) in order to enable the Trustee to carry out the foregoing obligations; provided that the Trustee shall not be held responsible for identifying a person as a CS Affiliate unless it has actual knowledge that such person is a CS Affiliate.

If the dividend or distribution is in Shares, such Shares shall be held by the Trustee under the voting trust created herein and new Trust Certificates representing the Shares received shall be issued to the applicable Holders. Holders entitled to receive such dividends or distributions, or Trust Certificates in respect thereof, described in this Section 7 shall be those Holders registered as such on the transfer books of the Trustee at the close of business on the day fixed by the Corporation for the taking of a record to determine those holders of its stock entitled to receive such dividends or distributions. In the performance of its duties to deliver cash dividends under this Agreement, the Trustee shall not be obligated to risk its own funds and will not be liable for taxes or other charges related to the delivery of such dividends or distributions.

The notice to the Trustee shall also be accompanied by (A) a Trust Certificate or Certificates of the Requesting Party, duly endorsed for transfer, representing not less than the number of Shares of the type to be transferred to the Requesting Party, (B) a certificate of an officer of CS Private Equity certifying that immediately after giving effect to such request all CS Affiliates will own in the aggregate Excluded Capital Stock amounting to less than 5% of the total voting power of the Voting Stock of the Corporation then outstanding and (C) if the Requesting Party is not a CS Affiliate, an opinion of independent nationally recognized counsel who are experts in matters involving the federal securities law, that, immediately after giving effect to such request, such Requesting Party, together with its affiliates, should not be an affiliate of the Corporation within the meaning of Rule 144 of the Securities Act. The Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon such certificate or legal opinion. On the date specified in such request, and upon receipt by the Trustee from the Requesting Party of such certificates and legal opinions, as applicable, the Trustee shall deliver to the Requesting Party a certificate (or the equivalent evidence of ownership in the case of Share Equivalents) for the number of Shares of the type specified in such notice, registered in the name of the Trustee and duly endorsed for transfer.

SECTION 12.   Exercise, Conversion, Exchange or Cancellation of Shares. The Trustee shall, upon written instruction of a Holder, submit to the Corporation for exercise, conversion, exchange or cancellation any Share in which such Holder has a beneficial interest hereunder. Such notice shall state (a) whether such Shares are to be exercised, converted, exchanged or cancelled, (b) the date on which such Shares are to be submitted to the Corporation (which date shall not be less than five days after the Trustee’s receipt of such notice), (c) the number and type of Shares to be submitted to the Corporation and (d) the consideration, if any, to be received upon such exercise, conversion, exchange or cancellation from the Corporation.

 

 

 

13

 

 

 



 

The notice shall be accompanied by (i) a Trust Certificate or Certificates of the Holder, duly endorsed for transfer, representing not less than the number of Shares of the type to be submitted to the Corporation and (ii) any exercise price or other payment and any agreement, certificate or other documentation required in connection with such exercise, conversion, exchange or cancellation. On the date specified in such notice, and against receipt from the Corporation of the specified consideration, if any, the Trustee shall deliver by first class mail: (A) to the Corporation, (x) a certificate or certificates for the number of Shares of the type specified in such notice, registered in the name of the Trustee and duly endorsed for transfer and (y) any exercise price or other payment and any agreement, certificate or other documentation delivered to the Trustee by such Holder with such notice and (B) to the Holder, (x) a Trust Certificate representing a number of Shares equal to the number of Shares represented by the surrendered Trust Certificate or Certificates less the number of Shares submitted to the Corporation and (y) the consideration, if any, received by the Trustee pursuant to such exercise, conversion, exchange or cancellation; provided that if such consideration includes Shares, such Shares shall be retained and held by the Trustee pursuant to this Agreement and new Trust Certificates representing such Shares shall be issued to such Holder.

SECTION 13.   Increase or Decrease in Number of Shares. In the event of an increase in the number of Shares by virtue of a stock split or the decrease in the number of Shares because of a contraction of Shares or a change in the number of outstanding Shares as a result of some other recapitalization in which the Corporation receives no consideration for the issuance of the additional or reduced number of Shares, the new additional or changed number of Shares shall be held by the Trustee and new Trust Certificates representing the appropriate changed number of Shares shall be issued to Holders upon surrender of the then existing Trust Certificates.

SECTION 14.   Successor Trustee. There shall initially be one Trustee of the voting trust created herein. Upon the liquidation, dissolution, winding-up, suspension, incapacity, resignation or removal (in accordance with Section 15 below) of the initial Trustee, CS Private Equity or the Holders of Trust Certificates representing fifty percent (50%) or more of the Trust Shares shall appoint a successor Trustee; provided, however, that such successor Trustee may not be a CS Affiliate. In the event a successor Trustee shall not have been appointed within 30 days of such removal, the Trustee may petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint such a successor. In the event that the Trustee consolidates with, merges with or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust assets to, another corporation that is a bank or trust company, the surviving or transferee corporation (unless it is a CS Affiliate) may become the successor Trustee upon notice to the signatories hereto but without further action by the signatories or any Holder.

SECTION 15.  Removal / Resignation of Trustee.

(a)          A Trustee may be removed by CS Private Equity, CS Securities or the Holders of Trust Certificates representing fifty percent (50%) or more of the Trust Shares:

(i)           if it is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that either (A) the Trustee has willfully and materially violated the terms of the trust created

 

 

 

14

 

 

 



 

herein, or (B) the Trustee has been guilty of malfeasance, misfeasance or dereliction of duty hereunder;

(ii)          if the Trustee shall have commenced a voluntary case or other proceeding seeking liquidation, reorganization or other relief with respect to itself or its debts under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, or seeking the appointment of a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar official of it or any substantial part of its property, or shall have consented to any such relief or to the appointment of or taking possession by any such official in an involuntary case or other proceeding commenced against it, or shall have made a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, or shall have failed generally to pay its debts as they become due, or shall have taken any corporate action to authorize any of the foregoing; or

(iii)        if an involuntary case or other proceeding shall have been commenced against the Trustee seeking liquidation, reorganization or other relief with respect to it or its debts under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, or seeking the appointment of a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar official of it or any substantial part of its property, and such involuntary case or other proceeding shall have remained undismissed and unstayed for a period of 60 days; or an order for relief shall have been entered against the Trustee under the federal bankruptcy laws as now or hereafter in effect.

(b)          If CS Private Equity, CS Securities or the Holders of Trust Certificates representing fifty percent (50%) or more of the Trust Shares then deposited hereunder determine that a basis exists for removal of the Trustee under Section 15(a) above, they shall deliver written notice of such determination to the Trustee stating the basis for such removal.

(c)          The Trustee may resign its position as such (i) upon ten days’ written notice to CS Private Equity and CS Securities, but only if a successor Trustee, appointed as provided for in Section 14 above, has agreed to serve as such effective upon the effectiveness of the resignation of the Trustee then acting, or (ii) in any event upon thirty days’ written notice to CS Private Equity and CS Securities.

SECTION 16.   Trustee May Own Shares. Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent the Trustee from owning Shares or options to purchase Shares in its individual capacity or in any capacity other than as Trustee hereunder or for any CS Affiliate.

SECTION 17.   Trustee Not an Affiliate. The Trustee represents that it is a bank or trust company that is not a CS Affiliate.

SECTION 18.   Compensation; Expenses. Reasonable expenses lawfully incurred in the administration of the Trustee’s duties hereunder shall be reimbursed to it by CS Securities on behalf of the Holders. During the period of its services hereunder, the Trustee shall receive a fee from CS Securities as follows: (i) an initial fee of $4,500, and (ii) thereafter, during the

 

 

 

15

 

 

 



 

period of its services hereunder, a fee of $3,000 per annum payable quarterly in arrears. The provisions of this Section 18 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

SECTION 19.   Merger, Etc. Upon any merger, consolidation, reorganization or dissolution of the Corporation or the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation pursuant to which shares of capital stock or other voting securities of another corporation are to be issued in payment or exchange for or upon conversion of Shares and other voting securities, the shares of said other corporation shall automatically be and become subject to the terms of this Agreement and be held by the Trustee hereunder in the same manner and upon the same terms as the Trust Shares, and in such event the Trustee shall issue to the Holders that have deposited Shares with the Trustee new Trust Certificates in lieu of the old Trust Certificates for the appropriate number of shares and other voting securities of such other corporation.

At the request of any Holder, the Trustee may transfer, sell or exchange or join with the Holder in such transfer, sale or exchange of Shares and other voting securities in exchange for shares of another corporation, and in said event the shares and other voting securities of the other corporation received by the transferor shall be and become subject to this Agreement and be held by the Trustee hereunder in the same manner as the Trust Shares.

SECTION 20.   Notices. All notices, reports, statements and other communications directed to the Trustee from the Corporation, other than communications pertaining solely to the voting of the Trust Shares, shall be forwarded promptly by the Trustee to CS Private Equity, CS Securities and each Holder. All notices, notices of election and other communications required herein shall be given in writing by overnight courier, telegram or facsimile transmission and shall be addressed, or sent, to the appropriate addresses as set forth beneath the signature of each party hereto (and if to the Corporation, to 2 Crescent Place, Oceanport, NJ 07757-0900), or at such other address as to which notice is given in accordance with this Section 20.

SECTION 21.   Indemnity, Etc. The Trustee shall be indemnified by CS Securities from and against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever (including, but not limited to, any and all expense whatsoever reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, commenced or threatened, or any claims whatsoever) (the “Indemnified Claims”) arising out of or based upon this Agreement or the actions or failures to act of the Trustee hereunder or thereunder, except to the extent such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense is caused by or results from the Trustee’s negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a final and unappealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction). CS Securities agrees on behalf of the Holders that it will indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee from and against any Indemnified Claims. CS Securities’ obligation hereunder shall survive the transfer of all or any portions of its respective shares and interests, the termination of the voting trust created herein, or the resignation or removal of the Trustee.

The Trustee shall be entitled to the prompt reimbursement for its out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, commenced or threatened, arising out of or based upon this Agreement, or the actions or failures to act of the Trustee hereunder or thereunder, without regard to the outcome of such litigation; provided, however, that the Trustee shall be obligated to

 

 

 

16

 

 

 



 

return any such reimbursement if it is subsequently determined by a final and unappealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction that the Trustee was negligent or engaged in willful misconduct in the matter in question.

If a claim under this Section 21 is not paid in full within 30 days after a written claim has been submitted by the Trustee, the Trustee may at any time thereafter bring suit to recover the unpaid amount of the claim and, if successful in whole or in part, the Trustee shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting such claims.

The Trustee is authorized and empowered to construe this Agreement and its construction of the same, made in good faith, shall be final, conclusive, and binding upon all Holders and all other parties interested. The Trustee may, in its discretion, consult with counsel to be selected and employed by it, and the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel shall be an expense for which the Trustee is entitled to indemnity hereunder.

The Trustee hereby accepts the trust created hereby and agrees to carry out the terms and provisions hereof, but assumes no responsibility for the management of the Corporation or for any action taken by it, by any person elected as a director of the Corporation or by the Corporation pursuant to any vote cast or consent given by the Trustee. The Trustee, whether or not acting upon the advice of counsel, shall incur no liability because of any error of law or fact, mistake of judgment or any matter or thing done or omitted under this Agreement, except its own negligence or willful misconduct. Anything done or suffered in good faith by the Trustee in accordance with the advice of counsel chosen as indicated above shall be conclusive in favor of the Trustee against the Holders and any other interested party.

The Trustee shall not be liable in any event for acts or defaults of any other trustee or trustees (under this or any other voting trust of the Corporation’s securities) or for acts or defaults of any employee, agent, proxy or attorney-in-fact of any other trustee or trustees. The Trustee shall be protected and free from liability in acting upon any notice, request, consent, certificate, declaration, guarantee, affidavit or other paper or document or signature reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed by the proper party or parties or by the party or parties purporting to have signed the same.

No provision of this Agreement shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.

SECTION 22.   Certain Calculations

(a)          For all purposes of this Agreement, in determining whether CS Affiliates will own in the aggregate Capital Stock of the Corporation amounting to 5% or more of the total voting power of the Voting Stock of the Corporation then outstanding, (i) shares of Voting Stock underlying Share Equivalents owned by a CS Affiliate shall be deemed to be outstanding and owned by such CS Affiliate and (ii) Shares held pursuant to this Agreement shall be excluded.

 

 

 

17

 

 

 



 

 

(b)          For purposes of Sections 10, 11, 14, 15, 18 and 21, a Holder owning a Trust Certificate representing Share Equivalents shall, in respect of such ownership, be deemed to be the Holder of a Trust Certificate representing the number of shares of Common Stock that the Trustee, acting on behalf of such Holder, may acquire, whether by exercise, conversion, subscription or otherwise, pursuant to or by reason of ownership of such Shares.

SECTION 23.   Further Assurances. Each of the parties to this Agreement will execute any and all further documents, agreements and instruments, and take all such further actions (including the filing and recording of any other documents), which may be required under any applicable law, or which the Trustee may reasonably request, to give effect to the Initial Deposit, any deposit of Shares after the Initial Deposit, the registration of such Trust Shares as transferred to the trust created herein, the termination of the trust created herein pursuant to Section 9 of this Agreement and any transfer of Trust Shares or Shares pursuant to Section 10 or 11 of this Agreement.

SECTION 24.   Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts all of which counterparts together shall constitute one agreement. Upon execution of this Agreement and the establishment of the voting trust created herein, the Trustee shall cause a copy of this Agreement to be filed in the registered office of the Corporation in the State of Delaware and the Agreement shall be open to inspection in the manner provided for inspection under the laws of the State of Delaware.

SECTION 25.   Choice of Law. This Agreement is intended by the parties to be a voting trust agreement under Section 218 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware except that the Trustee’s rights and obligations shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

SECTION 26.  Bond. The Trustee shall not be required to provide any bond to secure the performance of its duties hereunder.

SECTION 27.  Reliance. CS Private Equity and each Holder acknowledges that CS Private Equity and CS Securities will rely on this Agreement in complying with the federal securities laws. The Trustee acknowledges that CS Private Equity and CS Securities will rely on the Trustee abiding by the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation, that (x) the Trustee will exercise independent judgment in voting the shares and will not consult with any CS Affiliate regarding the voting of such shares and (y) the Trustee will not consent to any amendment or waiver of this Agreement prohibited by Section 28 hereof whether or not such amendment or waiver is approved by each of the parties hereto and all of the Holders.

SECTION 28.   Amendments and Waivers. This Agreement may not be amended or waived in any material respect unless CS Securities shall have delivered to the Trustee an opinion of independent nationally recognized counsel who are experts in matters involving the federal securities law, that, immediately after such amendment or waiver, CS Securities, together with its affiliates, should not be an “affiliate” of the Corporation within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended with the written consent of the Trustee, the Corporation, CS Private Equity, CS Securities and the Holders

 

 

 

18

 

 

 



 

of Trust Certificates representing the beneficial interest in fifty percent (50%) or more of the Shares then deposited hereunder, and if so amended then this Agreement (as so amended) shall bind all of the parties hereto and all of the Holders.

SECTION 29.  Benefits and Assignment. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall give or be construed to give any person, other than the Corporation and the parties hereto and their successors and assigns, any legal claim under any covenant, condition or provision hereof, all the covenants, conditions and provisions contained in this Agreement being for the sole benefit of the Corporation and the parties hereto and their successors and assigns. No party may assign any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the written consent of all the other parties (except as provided in Section 14), which consent may be withheld in the sole discretion of the party whose consent is sought.

SECTION 30.   Severability. In case any provision in this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

EXECUTED as of the date and year first above written.

Dear Sirs:

As an inducement to the Underwriters to execute the Underwriting Agreement, pursuant to which an offering will be made that is intended to result in the establishment of a public market for Common Stock (the “Securities”) of CommVault Systems, Inc., and any successor (by merger or otherwise) thereto, (the “Company”), the undersigned hereby agrees that from the date hereof and until and including 180 days after the public offering date (the “Public Offering Date”) set forth on the final prospectus used to sell the Securities (the “Full Lock-up Period”) pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, to which you are or expect to become parties, the undersigned will not offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of Securities or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any shares of Securities, enter into a transaction which would have the same effect, or enter into any swap, hedge or other arrangement that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Securities, whether any such aforementioned transaction is to be settled by delivery of the Securities or such other securities, in cash or otherwise, or publicly disclose the intention to make any such offer, sale, pledge or disposition, or to enter into any such transaction, swap, hedge or other arrangement, without, in each case, the prior written consent of Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC and Goldman, Sachs & Co.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the reported last sale price per share of the Securities on The Nasdaq Stock Market’s National Market is at least 50% greater than the initial public offering price per share for 20 of the 30 trading days ending on the last trading day before the 100th day after the Public Offering Date (the period from the Public Offering Date to the 100th day thereafter, the “Initial Lockup Period”), then the number of shares of Securities equal to 20% of the shares of Securities subject to this Agreement on the Public Offering Date will be released (such release, the “Early Release”) from the restrictions of this Agreement on the 101st day after the Public Offering Date; provided that, the undersigned hereby agrees, after receiving notice from the Company specifying the last day of the Initial Lockup Period pursuant to the following paragraph, to give Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC and Goldman, Sachs & Co. written notice three business days prior to taking any of the actions set forth in the first paragraph of this Agreement pursuant to such Early Release.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 



 

 

Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if (i) during the last 17 days of the Initial Lockup Period the Company releases earnings results or (ii) prior to the expiration of the Initial Lockup Period, the Company announces that it will release earnings results during the 16-day period beginning on the last day of the Initial Lockup Period, then, in each case, the Initial Lockup Period will be extended until the expiration of the 18-day period beginning on the date of release of the earnings results, unless Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC and Goldman, Sachs & Co. waive, in writing, such extension.

Furthermore, notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if (i) during the last 17 days of the Full Lock-up Period the Company releases earnings results or (ii) prior to the expiration of the Full Lockup Period, the Company announces that it will release earnings results during the 16-day period beginning on the last day of the Full Lock-up Period, then, in the case of clauses (i) and (ii), the Full Lock-up Period will be extended until the expiration of the 18-day period beginning on the date of release of the earnings results, unless Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC and Goldman, Sachs & Co. waive, in writing, such extension.

The undersigned hereby acknowledges and agrees that written notice of any extension of the Initial Lock-up Period or Full Lockup Period pursuant to the previous two paragraphs will be delivered by Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC and Goldman, Sachs & Co. to the Company (in accordance with the Section of the Underwriting Agreement titled “Notices”) and that any such notice properly delivered will be deemed to have been given to, and received by, the undersigned. The undersigned further agrees that, prior to engaging in any transaction or taking any other action that is subject to the terms of this Agreement during the period from the date of this Agreement to and including the 34th day following the expiration of (i) the Initial Lockup Period (with respect to the Securities subject to Early Release) and (ii) the Full Lock-up Period (with respect to all Securities or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Securities subject to this Agreement other than those subject to Early Release), it will give notice thereof to the Company and will not consummate such transaction or take any such action unless it has received written notice from the Company that the Initial Lockup Period (as may have been extended pursuant to the third paragraph of this Agreement) or the Full Lockup Period (as may have been extended pursuant to the fourth paragraph of this Agreement), as applicable, has expired.

The (1) exercise of options granted to the undersigned, (2) conversion, on the Public Offering Date, of shares of the Series A, B, C, D, E, AA, BB or CC Preferred Stock of the Company outstanding as of the date of this Agreement (or received by the undersigned pursuant to the undersigned’s exercise of preemptive rights) and owned by the undersigned into Securities or (3) delivery or receipt by the undersigned of any Securities to give effect to a reverse stock split approved by the board of directors of the Company and disclosed in the final prospectus used to sell the Securities, in each case, will not be prohibited by this Agreement; provided that, any Securities or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Securities received by the undersigned upon such exercise of options, such conversion of shares of Series A, B, C, D, E, AA, BB or CC Preferred Stock or such effectuation of a reverse stock split, will be subject to this Agreement. Furthermore, as of the date of this Agreement, shares of the Series A, B, C, D and E Preferred Stock of the Company, upon conversion, entitle the holders thereof to a cash payment of $14.85 per share and the payment of all accrued and unpaid dividends (such

cash payment per share and accrued dividends together, the “Cash Amount”). Securities or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Securities paid or delivered to the undersigned in partial or full satisfaction of the Cash Amount will be subject to this Agreement. Any Securities acquired by the undersigned in the open market or in any issuer directed share program will not be subject to this Agreement. A transfer of Securities to a family member, trust or charitable organization may be made, provided the transferee agrees to be bound in writing by the terms of this Agreement; provided further, that any Securities so transferred will be subject to this Agreement for the Full Lockup Period.

In addition, the undersigned agrees that, without the prior written consent of Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC and Goldman, Sachs & Co., it will not, during the Full Lock-up Period, make any demand for or exercise any right with respect to, the registration of any Securities or any security convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for the Securities.

In furtherance of the foregoing, the Company and its transfer agent and registrar are hereby authorized to decline to make any transfer of Securities if such transfer would constitute a violation or breach of this Agreement.

This Agreement shall be binding on the undersigned and the successors, heirs, personal representatives and assigns of the undersigned. This Agreement shall lapse and become null and void if the Public Offering Date shall not have occurred on or before December 31, 2006.

The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to effect such Registration as soon as practicable (including, without limitation, the execution of an undertaking to file post-effective amendments and appropriate qualification under applicable state securities laws); and shall keep such Registration continuously effective until the earlier of (i) the second anniversary of the date that shares of Registrable Stock are first sold pursuant to such Registration, (ii) the date on which all shares of Registrable Stock have been sold pursuant to such registration statement or Rule 144 and (iii) the date on which, in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Company, all of the Registrable Stock may be sold in accordance with Rule 144(k); provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to take any action to effect any such Registration, qualification or compliance pursuant 3

to this Section 2 (i) in any particular jurisdiction in which the Company would become subject to taxation or would be required to execute a general consent to service of process in effecting such Registration, qualification or compliance unless the Company is already subject to taxation or service in such jurisdiction or (ii) during the period starting with the date 60 days prior to the Company's good faith estimate of the date of filing of, and ending on a date 180 days after the effective date of, a Company-initiated registration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall have the right (the "Suspension Right") to defer such filing (or suspend sales under any filed registration statement or defer the updating of any filed registration statement and suspend sales thereunder) at any time or from time to time, for a period of not more than 90 days during any period of 365 days, if the Company shall furnish to the Holders a certificate signed by an executive officer or any trustee of the Company stating that, in the good faith judgment of the Company, it would be detrimental to the Company and its shareholders to file such registration statement or amendment thereto at such time (or continue sales under a filed registration statement) and therefore the Company has elected to defer the filing of such registration statement (or suspend sales under a filed registration statement). (b) If a Demand Registration is an underwritten Demand Registration with other holders requesting to include their securities pursuant to other piggy back rights and the managing underwriters advise the Company in writing that, in their opinion, the number of securities to be included in such registration exceeds the number that can be sold in an orderly manner in such offering within a price range acceptable to the Holders, the Company will include securities in such registration in the following order of priority: (i) first, the Registrable Stock requested to be included in such registration by the Holders exercising rights pursuant to Section 2(a) and any securities requested to be included therein by the Series AA Holders or the Series CC Holders, pro rata among all such holders based upon the number of shares of such securities requested for inclusion in such registration by each such holder; (ii) second, any securities requested to be included therein by any other holders pursuant to such holders' piggyback rights, if any, pro rata based upon the number of shares of such securities requested for inclusion in such registration by each such holder; and (iii) third, the Common Stock proposed to be registered by the Company, if any. (c) The Company shall not be required to effect more than two Registrations pursuant to this Section 2. Section 3. Piggyback Registrations. (a) As long as the Holders hold any Registrable Stock, if the Company proposes to register any of its common equity securities or any securities convertible into its common equity securities under the Securities Act (other than pursuant to (i) a registration on Form S-4 or any successor form, or (ii) an offering of securities in connection with an employee 4

benefit, share dividend, share ownership or dividend reinvestment plan) and the registration form to be used may be used for the registration of Registrable Stock, the Company shall give prompt written notice to all Holders of its intention to effect such a registration (each a "Piggyback Notice") and, subject to subparagraph 3(c) below, the Company shall include in such registration all Registrable Stock with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion therein within ten days after the date of receipt of the Piggyback Notice (a "Piggyback Registration"), unless, in the case of an underwritten Piggyback Registration, the managing underwriters advise the Company in writing that in their opinion, the inclusion of Registrable Stock would adversely interfere with such offering. Nothing herein shall affect the right of the Company to withdraw any such registration in its sole discretion. (b) If a Piggyback Registration is a primary underwritten registration and the managing underwriters advise the Company in writing that, in their opinion, the number of securities requested to be included in such registration exceeds the number which can be sold in an orderly manner within a price range acceptable to the Company, the Company will include securities in such registration in the following order of priority: (i) first, the Common Stock proposed to be registered by the Company; (ii) second, the securities requested to be included in such registration by the Series AA Holders and the Series CC Holders, if any, pro rata among all such holders based on the number of shares of such securities requested for inclusion in such registration by each such holder; and (iii) third, the Registrable Stock requested to be included in such registration among the Holders of Registrable Stock requesting such registration and any securities requested to be included therein by any other holder pursuant to such holder's piggyback rights, if any, pro rata based upon the number of shares of Registrable Stock and other securities requested for inclusion in such registration by each such Holder or holder. (c) If a Piggyback Registration is a secondary registration on behalf of holders of the Company's securities other than the Holders of Registrable Stock and, if the Piggyback Registration is an underwritten Piggyback Registration and the managing underwriters advise the Company in writing that, in their opinion, the number of securities requested to be included in such registration exceeds the number which can be sold in an orderly manner in such offering within a price range acceptable to the holders initially requesting such registration, the Company will include securities in such registration in the following order of priority: (i) first, the securities requested to be included in such registration by the holders requesting such registration and the securities of the Series AA Holders and the Series CC Holders requested to be included therein, if any, pro rata among all such holders based on the number of shares of such securities requested for inclusion in such registration by each such holder; (ii) second, the Registrable Stock requested to be included in such registration by the Holders of Registrable Stock and any securities requested to be included therein by any other holder pursuant to such holder's piggyback rights, if any, pro rata among all 5

such holders based on the number of shares of such securities requested for inclusion in such registration by each such holder; and (iii) third, the Common Stock proposed to be registered by the Company, if any. (d) In the case of an underwritten Piggyback Registration, the Company will have the right to select the investment banker(s) and manager(s) to administer the offering. If requested by the underwriters for any underwritten offerings by Holders, under a registration requested pursuant to Section 2(a), the Company will enter into a customary underwriting agreement with such underwriters for such offering, to contain such representations and warranties by the Company and such other terms which are customarily contained in agreements of this type (including indemnification provisions). The Holders shall be a party to such underwriting agreement and may, at their option, require that any or all of the conditions precedent to the obligations of such underwriters under such underwriting agreement be conditions precedent to the obligations of Holders. The Holders shall not be required to make any representations or warranties to or agreement with the Company or the underwriters other than representations, warranties or agreements regarding the Holders and the Holders' intended method of distribution and any other representations or warranties required by law. Section 4. S-3 Registration (a) The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to qualify for registration on Form S-3 or any comparable or successor form or forms. After the Company has qualified for use of Form S-3, in addition to the rights contained in Sections 2 and 3, the Holders of Registrable Securities shall have the right to request registrations on Form S-3 (such requests shall be in writing and shall state the number of shares of Registrable Securities to be disposed of and the intended methods of disposition of such shares by such Holder or Holders). The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to effect such Registration as soon as practicable (including, without limitation, the execution of an undertaking to file post-effective amendments and appropriate qualification under applicable state securities laws); and shall keep such Registration continuously effective until the earlier of (i) the date on which all shares of Registrable Stock have been sold pursuant to such registration statement or Rule 144 and (ii) the date on which, in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Company, all of the Registrable Stock may be sold in accordance with Rule 144(k), provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to effect any such registration (i) if the 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) on Form S-3 at an aggregate price to the public of less than $1,000,000, (ii) in the circumstances described in the proviso to the first paragraph of Section 2(a), (iii) if the Company shall furnish the certification described in the second paragraph of Section 2(a) (but subject to the limitations set forth therein) or (iv) if, in a given twelve-month period, the Company has effected one such registration in such period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall have the right (the "S-3 Suspension Right") (i) to defer such filing for up to 60 days or suspend sales under any filed registration statement or (ii) defer the updating of any filed registration statement and suspend sales thereunder at any time or from time to time, for a period of not more than 90 days during 6

any period of 365 days, if the Company shall furnish to the Holders a certificate signed by an executive officer or any trustee of the Company stating that, in the good faith judgment of the Company, it would be detrimental to the Company and its shareholders to file such registration statement or amendment thereto at such time (or continue sales under a filed registration statement) and therefore the Company has elected to defer the filing of such registration statement (or suspend sales under a filed registration statement). (b) The Holders' rights under this Section 4 shall terminate upon the earlier to occur of (i) the fifth anniversary of the fifth anniversary of the date of the closing of the underwritten initial public offering of the Common Stock and (ii) the date on which, in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Company, all of the Registrable Stock may be sold in accordance with Rule 144(k). Section 5. Registration Procedures. (a) The Company shall promptly notify the Holders of the occurrence of the following events: (i) when any registration statement relating to the Registrable Stock or post-effective amendment thereto filed with the Commission has become effective; (ii) the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of any registration statement relating to the Registrable Stock; (iii) the suspension of an effective registration statement by the Company in accordance with the last paragraph of Section 2(a) or Section 4(a) hereof; (iv) the Company's receipt of any notification of the suspension of the qualification of any Registrable Stock covered by a registration statement for sale in any jurisdiction; and (v) the existence of any event, fact or circumstance that results in a registration statement or prospectus relating to Registrable Stock or any document incorporated therein by reference containing an untrue statement of material fact or omitting to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading during the distribution of securities. The Company agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of any such registration statement or any state qualification as promptly as possible. The Holders agree that upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the occurrence of any event of the type described in Sections 5(a)(ii), (iii), (iv) or (v) to immediately discontinue their disposition of Registrable Stock pursuant to any registration statement relating to such securities until the Holders receive written notice from the Company that such disposition may be made. (b) The Company shall provide to the Holders, at no cost to the Holders, a copy of the registration statement and any amendment thereto used to effect the Registration of the Registrable Stock, each prospectus contained in such registration statement or post-effective 7

amendment and any amendment or supplement thereto and such other documents as the requesting Holders may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Stock covered by such registration statement. The Company consents to the use of each such prospectus and any supplement thereto by the Holders in connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable Stock covered by such registration statement or any amendment thereto. If the Common Stock is listed on a national securities exchange at any time during the period in which the Company is obligated to keep the registration statement effective pursuant to Section 2(a), the Company shall also file a sufficient number of copies of the prospectus and any post-effective amendment or supplement thereto with such exchange so as to enable the Holders to have the benefits of the prospectus delivery provisions of Rule 153 under the Securities Act. (c) The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Registrable Stock covered by a registration statement to be registered with or approved by such state securities authorities as may be necessary to enable the Holders to consummate the disposition of such stock pursuant to the plan of distribution set forth in the registration statement; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to take any action to effect any such Registration, qualification or compliance pursuant to this Section 5 in any particular jurisdiction in which the Company would become subject to taxation or would be required to execute a general consent to service of process in effecting such Registration, qualification or compliance unless the Company is already subject to taxation or service in such jurisdiction. (d) Subject to the Company's Suspension Right or an S-3 Suspension Right, if any event, fact or circumstance requiring an amendment to a registration statement relating to the Registrable Stock or supplement to a prospectus relating to the Registrable Stock shall exist, immediately upon becoming aware thereof the Company shall notify the Holders and prepare and furnish to the Holders a post-effective amendment to the registration statement or supplement to the prospectus or any document incorporated therein by reference or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of the Registrable Stock, the prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading. (e) The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts (including the payment of any listing or quotation fees) to obtain the listing or quotation of all Registrable Stock covered by the registration statement on each securities exchange or inter-dealer automated quotation system on which securities of the same class or series are then listed. (f) The Company and the Holders shall use commercially reasonable efforts to comply with the Securities Act and the Exchange Act in connection with the offer and sale of Registrable Stock pursuant to a registration statement, and, as soon as reasonably practicable following the end of any fiscal year during which a registration statement effecting a Registration of the Registrable Stock shall have been effective, to make available to the Holders an earnings statement satisfying the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act. (g) The Company shall cooperate with the selling Holders to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing Registrable Stock to be sold pursuant to a Registration and not bearing any Securities Act legend; and enable certificates for such 8

Registrable Stock to be issued for such numbers of stock and registered in such names as the Holders may reasonably request at least two business days prior to any sale of Registrable Stock. (h) The Company may select, in its sole discretion, the underwriter or underwriters in connection with any underwritten public offering as it may deem appropriate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the DLJ Entities will have the right, in their sole discretion to select the underwriter or underwriters in connection with any underwritten Demand Registration initiated by any of the DLJ Entities pursuant to Section 2. Any Affiliate of any of the DLJ Entities may be selected as underwriter for an underwritten public offering. The Company will enter into customary agreements (including an underwriting agreement in customary form) and take such other actions as are reasonably required in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Stock, including the engagement of a "qualified independent underwriter" in connection with the qualification of the underwriting arrangements with the NASD. (i) During standard business hours, the Company will make available for inspection by any Holder and any underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to a registration statement being filed by the Company pursuant to Section 4 and any attorney, accountant or other professional retained by any such Holder or underwriter, all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company as shall be reasonably requested by any such Person, and cause the Company's officers, directors and employees to supply all information reasonably requested by any attorney, accountant or other professional retained by any such Holder in connection with such registration statement. (j) The Company will furnish to each such Holder and to each such underwriter, if any, a signed counterpart, addressed to such underwriter, of (i) an opinion or opinions of counsel to the Company and (ii) a comfort letter or comfort letters from the Company's independent public accountants, each in customary form and covering such matters of the type customarily covered by opinions or comfort letters, as the case may be, as the managing underwriter therefor reasonably requests. Section 6. Expenses of Registration. All expenses, other than underwriting discounts and commissions and transfer taxes, incurred in connection with registrations, filings or qualifications pursuant to Sections 2, 3, 4 and 5 hereof, including, without limitation, all registration, listing and qualifications fees, printers and accounting fees, the fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company and the reasonable fees and disbursements of one counsel selected by the Holders shall be borne by the Company. Section 7. Indemnification. (a) The Company shall indemnify each Holder, each Holder's officers and directors, and each person controlling such Holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, against all expenses, claims, losses, damages and liabilities (including reasonable legal fees and expenses), arising out of or based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any registration statement or prospectus relating to the Registrable Stock, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or based on any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such claim, loss, damage, liability or expense arises out of or is based on any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission, made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder or underwriter for inclusion therein. (b) Each Holder, if Registrable Stock held by such Holder is included in the securities as to which such registration is being effected, shall indemnify the Company, each of its trustees and each of its officers who signs the registration statement, each underwriter, if any, of the Company's securities covered by such registration statement, and each person who controls the Company or such underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, against all claims, losses, damages and liabilities (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) arising out of or based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any such registration statement or prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or based on any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) or omission (or alleged omission) is made in such registration statement or prospectus, in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder for inclusion therein. (c) Each party entitled to indemnification under this Section 7 (the "Indemnified Party") shall give notice to the party required to provide indemnification (the "Indemnifying Party") promptly after such Indemnified Party has actual knowledge of any claim as to which indemnity may be sought, but the omission to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to the Indemnified Party pursuant to the provisions of this Section 7 except to the extent of the actual damages suffered by such delay in 9

notification. The Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense of such action, including the employment of counsel to be chosen by the Indemnifying Party to be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, and payment of expenses. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ its own counsel in any such case, but the legal fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party, unless the employment of such counsel shall have been authorized in writing by the Indemnifying Party in connection with the defense of such action, or the Indemnifying Party shall not have employed counsel to take charge of the defense of such action or the Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be defenses available to it or them which are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party (in which case the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of the Indemnified Party), in any of which events such fees and expenses shall be borne by the Indemnifying Party. No Indemnifying Party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation, shall, except with the consent of each Indemnified Party, 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 7 is unavailable to a party that would have been an Indemnified Party under this Section 7 in respect of any expenses, claims, losses, damages and liabilities referred to herein, then each party that would have been an Indemnifying Party hereunder shall, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such expenses, claims, losses, damages and liabilities in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party on the one hand and such Indemnified Party on the other in connection with the statement or omission which resulted in such expenses, claims, losses, damages and liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Indemnifying Party or such Indemnified Party and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Company and each Holder agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this Section 7(d). (e) 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. (f) In no event shall any Holder be liable for any expenses, claims, losses, damages or liabilities pursuant to this Section 7 in excess of the net proceeds to such Holder of any Registrable Stock sold by such Holder pursuant to the registration statement in question. Section 8. Information to be Furnished by Holders. Each Holder shall furnish to the Company such information as the Company may reasonably request and as shall be required in connection with the Registration and related proceedings referred to in Section 2 or Section 3 hereof. If any Holder fails to provide the Company with such information within 10 days of 10

receipt of the Company's request, the Company's obligations under Section 2 or Section 3 hereof, as applicable, with respect to such Holder or the Registrable Stock owned by such Holder shall be suspended until such Holder provides such information. Section 9. Rule 144 Sales. (a) The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to file the reports required to be filed by the Company under the Exchange Act, so as to enable any Holder to sell Registrable Stock pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act. (b) In connection with any sale, transfer or other disposition by any Holder of any Registrable Stock pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, the Company shall cooperate with such Holder to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing Registrable Stock to be sold and not bearing any Securities Act legend, and enable certificates for such Registrable Stock to be for such number of shares and registered in such names as the selling Holder may reasonably request at least two business days prior to any sale of Registrable Stock. Section 10. Assignment of Registration Rights. The rights of the Holders hereunder, including the right to have the Company register Registrable Stock pursuant to this Agreement, shall be automatically assignable by each Holder to any transferee of all or any portion of the shares of Preferred Stock or the Registrable Stock if: (i) the Holder agrees in writing with the transferee or assignee to assign such rights, and a copy of such agreement is furnished to the Company after such assignment, (ii) the Company is furnished with written notice of (a) the name and address of such transferee or assignee, and (b) the securities with respect to which such registration rights are being transferred or assigned, (iii) following such transfer or assignment, the further disposition of such securities by the transferee or assignee is restricted under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, (iv) the transferee or assignee agrees in writing for the benefit of the Company to be bound by all of the provisions contained herein, and (v) such transfer of the Registered Stock shall have been made in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 5(f) of the Purchase Agreement. Section 11. Miscellaneous. (a) Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware. (b) WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. THE COMPANY AND THE INVESTORS HEREBY WAIVE ANY RIGHT THEY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREBY. (c) Entire Agreement.
