agreement or other arrangement (a "Contract") (A) any breach or violation of, or
default under, such Contract, (B) any event which could (either with or without

by General Magic in connection with the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby or thereby. To the knowledge of General
6
13
Magic, no event has occurred and no circumstance, matter or set of facts exist
which would constitute a valid basis for the assertion by any third party of any
claim or Legal Proceeding, other than those listed on Schedule 3.5, which could
reasonably be expected to result in a DR Material Adverse Effect. No event has
occurred and no circumstance, matter or set of facts exists that would
constitute a valid basis for an assertion by General Magic against a third party

could reasonably be expected to result in a DR Material Adverse Effect, and
General Magic has no intention of pursuing any such Legal Proceeding against a

DR Material Adverse Effect: (i) each of the DR Contracts listed on Schedule
3.7(a) is a valid and enforceable obligation of General Magic in accordance with
its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium and similar laws affecting creditors' rights and remedies generally
and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity (regardless
of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding at law or in equity); (ii)
General Magic is not aware of the assertion (written or oral) by any third party
of any claim of Default or breach under any of the DR Contracts listed, or
required to be listed, in Schedule 3.7(a); and (iii) none of the terms of this
Agreement nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby conflicts

access to, such information that it considers necessary or appropriate for
deciding whether to engage in the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

this Agreement, has such knowledge and experience in financial or business
matters necessary to evaluate the merits and risks of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement and has the ability to bear the economic risks of

a view to or in connection with the sale or distribution of any part thereof.
3.12 Accredited Investor. General Magic is an "Accredited Investor" as
defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Act.
3.13 Exemption from Registration; Restricted Securities. General Magic
understands that the sale of shares of Common Stock, Series A Preferred Stock
and Common Stock underlying the Warrant will not be registered under the Act on
the ground that such sale provided for in this Agreement is exempt from
registration under the Act, and that the reliance of the Company on such
exemption is predicated in part on General Magic's representations set forth in
this Agreement. General Magic understands that the shares of Common Stock and
Series A Preferred Stock are restricted securities within the meaning of Rule
144 under the Act, and must be held pursuant to the requirements of Rule 144
unless they are subsequently registered or an exemption from such registration
is available, or they are sold in compliance with Regulation S.

the Company's Preferred Stock will bear some or all of the following legends
giving notice of restrictions on transfer under the Act and this Agreement as
follows:

OR TRANSFERRED IN A TRANSACTION WHICH WAS NOT REGISTERED UNDER THE

BE MADE, NO ATTEMPTED SALE OR TRANSFER SHALL BE VALID, AND THE ISSUER
SHALL NOT BE REQUIRED TO GIVE ANY EFFECT TO ANY SUCH TRANSACTION UNLESS
(A) SUCH TRANSACTION SHALL HAVE BEEN DULY REGISTERED UNDER THE ACT OR
(B) THE ISSUER SHALL HAVE FIRST RECEIVED AN OPINION OF COUNSEL
REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO IT THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED";
8
15
(b) "THIS CERTIFICATE AND THE SHARES REPRESENTED HEREBY MAY NOT

EXCEPT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF A REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT
BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND THE REGISTERED HOLDER OF THE SHARES (OR THE
PREDECESSOR IN INTEREST OF THE SHARES) WHICH MAY RESTRICT THE TRANSFER
OF THE SHARES FOLLOWING THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF A REGISTRATION STATEMENT
OF THE COMPANY FILED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED"; and
(e) Any other legends required by applicable state securities
laws as determined by the Company.

permitted by this Agreement, it shall not conduct any business without the prior
written consent of General Magic.
ARTICLE V.
ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS; WAIVER
5.1 Access to Information. The Company agrees that, prior to the Closing
Date, General Magic shall be entitled, through its officers, employees and
representatives (including, without limitation, its legal advisors and
accountants), to make such investigation of the properties, businesses and
operations and financial condition of the Business and examination of its books
and records as General Magic may reasonably request, and to make extracts and
copies of such books and records. Any such investigation and examination shall
be conducted during regular business hours and under reasonable circumstances,
and the Company shall cooperate fully therein. In order that General Magic may
have full opportunity to make such physical, business, accounting and legal
review, examination or investigation as it may reasonably request of the affairs
of the Business, the Company shall use its best efforts to cause the Company's
officers, employees, consultants, agents, accountants, attorneys and other
representatives to cooperate fully with such representatives in connection with
such review and examination.
5.2 Additional Agreements.
(a) Obtaining Consents, Etc. Each of the parties hereto agrees
to use its respective best efforts to (i) take, or cause to be taken, all
appropriate action, and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper
or advisable under applicable laws and regulations to consummate and make
effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary
Agreements, (ii) obtain all licenses, permits, consents, approvals,
authorizations, qualifications and orders of Governmental Entities and parties
to contracts with General Magic and the Company as

are necessary for consummation of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements and (iii) fulfill all conditions
precedent applicable to such party pursuant to this Agreement.
(b) Further Assurances. In case at any time after the Closing
any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this
Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements, each party hereto shall use its
respective commercially reasonable efforts to take or cause to be taken all such
necessary action. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, at any time
and from time to time after the Closing Date, at the request of and reasonable
expense of the Company, General Magic shall execute and deliver such other
instruments of assignment and transfer, and shall take such action as the
Company may reasonably deem necessary or appropriate, in order to more
effectively transfer, convey and assign to the Company and to confirm the
Company's right, title and interest in, all of the DR Assets to be transferred
pursuant to this Agreement, to put the Company in actual possession and
operating control thereof and to permit the Company to exercise all rights with
respect thereto (including, without limitation, rights under any Non-Assignable
Agreements (as defined below)).
(c) Non-Assignable Agreements. In the event and to the extent
that General Magic is unable to obtain any required consent to the transfer at
the Closing to the Company of any DR Contract (any such contract, the
"Non-Assignable Agreement"), then (i) General Magic shall remain a party to and
shall continue to be bound by such Non-Assignable Agreement, (ii) the Company
shall pay, perform and discharge fully all of the obligations of General Magic
thereunder from and after the Closing Date, upon the terms and subject to the
conditions of such Non-Assignable Agreement, (iii) the Company shall indemnify
General Magic for any Losses (as defined below) arising out of any failure on
the part of the Company to fulfill any of its obligations referred to under
clause (ii) above, from and after the Closing Date, (iv) General Magic shall,
without further consideration therefor, pay, assign and remit to the Company
promptly all monies, rights and other consideration received in respect of such
Non-Assignable Agreement on and after the Closing Date, and (v) General Magic
shall, without further consideration therefor, exercise and exploit its rights
and options under such Non-Assignable Agreement in the manner and only to the
extent directed by the Company and at the Company's sole expense. If and when
any consent shall be obtained following the Closing Date with respect to the
transfer by General Magic to the Company of any such Non-Assignable Agreement or
such Non-Assignable Agreement shall otherwise become assignable following the
Closing Date, General Magic shall promptly assign all of its rights and
obligations thereunder to the Company, without further consideration therefor,
and the Company shall, without further consideration therefor, assume such
rights and obligations, to the fullest extent permitted. The existence of the
provisions of this Section 5.2 shall not reduce or otherwise adversely affect
any party's ability to enforce any of its rights under this Agreement.
5.3 Publicity. On or prior to the Closing Date and for the sixty-day
period following the Closing Date, the Company and General Magic will consult
with each other and will mutually agree, which agreement shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed, upon any press release or public announcement
pertaining to this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements, the Company, the
Business or the DR Assets/Liabilities, and shall not issue any such press
release or
10
17
make any such public announcement prior to such consultation and agreement,
except that either party may issue any such release or make any such public
announcement as it determines, in its sole discretion, may be required by
applicable law or by obligations pursuant to any listing agreement with any
national securities exchange, in which case the parties shall use reasonable
efforts to consult in good faith with each other (but shall not be required to
obtain the agreement of either party) before issuing any such press release or
making any such public announcement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company
may issue a press release or public announcement without the approval or
agreement of General Magic with the Company if General Magic fails to respond to
the Company regarding any such press release or public announcement within 72
hours of receipt of the proposed press release or public announcement from the
Company.
5.4 Assignment of Rights. Effective as of the Closing, General Magic
hereby grants to the Company the right to assert as third party beneficiary any
and all rights of General Magic to enforce against any current or former
director, officer or employee of General Magic, any remedies it may have to
protect any trade secret, trade right, process, formula, customer list,
confidential or proprietary report or information of General Magic to the extent
related to the DR Assets/Liabilities. General Magic shall cooperate in such
enforcement by the Company and, if and to the extent that the Company is unable
to enforce such rights directly against any such director, officer or employee,
to the maximum extent permitted by law, shall use commercially reasonable
efforts to enforce any and all such rights on behalf of and for the benefit of
the Company and shall assign to the Company any judgments or awards rendered on
behalf of or for the benefit of the Company in connection with the enforcement
of such rights. All reasonable costs associated with the enforcement of rights
by or on behalf of the Company under this Section 5.4 will be the sole
responsibility of the Company. The Company shall indemnify General Magic for all
claims or judgments entered against General Magic arising out of General Magic's
actions undertaken in good faith pursuant to this Section 5.4 or under the
direction of the Company.
5.5 Taxes. All sales, value added, use, transfer, registration, stamp
and similar taxes imposed in connection with the assignment of the DR Assets
(the "Taxes") will be borne by General Magic, and General Magic will indemnify,
and hold the Company harmless against, any such Taxes.
5.6 DR Employees. As of the Closing Date, the Company will offer
employment to each employee of General Magic set forth on Schedule 5.6 (the "DR
Employees") by delivering to each of the DR Employees an offer of employment
substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E. All salary, bonus,
benefits, severance and other compensation, payments or other obligations
accrued or due to any DR Employees and any other employees of General Magic as
of the Closing Date, whether or not they are offered or accept employment with
the Company as of the Closing Date, shall be the exclusive responsibility of
General Magic; and General Magic shall indemnify, and hold the Company harmless
against, any and all such obligations.

the assignment by General Magic to the Company and the assumption by the Company
of the OEM Supply Agreement for Magic Cap Devices dated as of August 11, 1997 by
and between General Magic and OKI Electric Industry Co., Ltd. ("OKI"), as
amended (the "OKI Agreement"), the Company and General Magic agree as follows:
(a) General Magic shall, notwithstanding the assignment to and
assumption by the Company of the OKI Agreement, take no action to withdraw or
terminate the documentary letter of credit (the "Letter of Credit") established

owing OKI under the OKI Agreement.
(b) The Company agrees to reimburse General Magic upon notice by
General Magic to the Company for each remittance General Magic is required to
make to the lending institution which issued the Letter of Credit (each such
remittance is referred to as an "OKI Obligation" and all such remittances
collectively as the "OKI Obligations") in connection with each draw (a "Draw")
made by OKI on the Letter of Credit on or after October 1, 1998. The Company
shall reimburse General Magic for each OKI Obligation upon the earlier of (i)
five business days following the receipt by the Company of payment for the sale
of the products the supply of which under the OKI Agreement gave rise to a Draw
and subsequent OKI Obligation and (ii) 120 days following the specific Draw
which gave rise to an OKI Obligation.
(c) As collateral security for the prompt reimbursement when due
of the OKI Obligations by the Company to General Magic, effective as of the
Closing, the Company hereby grants to General Magic a continuing first priority
security interest in all personal property of the Company whether owned as of
the Closing (including such property acquired by the Company pursuant to this
Agreement) or created or acquired thereafter including, without limitation, (i)
all accounts, goods, fixtures, instruments, documents, chattel paper (as such
terms are defined in Article 9 of the California Uniform Commercial Code as now
in existence or hereafter amended (the "UCC")), wherever located, and all
replacements and substitutions therefor and products and proceeds thereof, and
(ii) all general intangibles (as such term is defined in the UCC), together with
all renewals, replacements and substitutions therefor, all rights accruing
therefrom and all proceeds thereof (the "Collateral"). In the event the Company
fails to make the required payments when due to General Magic required under
Section 5.7(b), General Magic shall be entitled to exercise all rights and
remedies of a secured party under the UCC or any other applicable law. Nothing
herein shall prevent the Company from granting security interests in the
Company's assets so long as such security interests are expressly subordinate to
the security interest granted in this Section 5.7(c).
(d) The Company hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints
General Magic and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution,
as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and
authority in the place and stead of the Company and in the name of the Company
or in its own name, from time to time in General Magic's discretion, to take any
and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments
which may be reasonably necessary to accomplish the purposes of Section 5.7(c).
12

and instruments as General Magic shall reasonably request to effect the security
interest granted in Section 5.7(c).

Agreement and continuing until the Closing, General Magic shall not license,

during such period.

hire for employment or other representation, any employee, agent, representative
or independent contractor known by General Magic to be employed or retained by
the Company, (ii) solicit or induce any such person to terminate any
relationship such person may have with the Company or (iii) encourage any third
party to do any of the foregoing (provided that General Magic shall not be
prevented from hiring any person who contacts General Magic pursuant to a
general employment solicitation or advertisement placed by General Magic in a
newspaper or other medium of general circulation or on his or her own initiative
without direct or indirect solicitation from General Magic).
(b) The Company agrees that it will not without the prior written

for employment or other representation, any employee, agent, representative or
independent contractor known by the Company to be employed or retained by

employment solicitation or advertisement placed by the Company in a newspaper or
other medium of general circulation or on his or her own initiative without
direct or indirect solicitation from the Company).
5.10 Company Repurchase Limitations. The Company agrees that it shall
not, without the prior written consent of General Magic, repurchase any shares
of its Common Stock under any circumstances, if such repurchase would cause
General Magic to own fifty percent (50%) or more of the total shares of Common
Stock outstanding immediately following such repurchase.

and obligations under this Article VIII of the General Magic Indemnitees and the

(i) neither the General Magic Indemnitees nor the
Company Indemnitees shall be entitled to any recovery unless a claim for
indemnification is made in accordance with Section 8.7(a), the claim for
indemnification is made within the time period of survival set forth in Section
8.1 and the entity seeking indemnification complies with the procedures set

the Company Indemnitees, on the other hand, shall not be entitled to any
indemnification pursuant to Sections 8.2, 8.3, 8.4 and 8.5 hereunder and Section
8.1 of the License Agreement, as applicable, unless and until the Losses that

forth in this Section 8.6 shall not apply to any claims arising out of fraud or
intentional misconduct in the making of representations and warranties set forth
herein.
(b) Notwithstanding Sections 8.2 and 8.4 hereto, General Magic
shall have no indemnification obligation with respect to any breach of any
representation or warranty made by General Magic in this Agreement if such
breach is based solely on a claim that, or arises solely as a result of the fact
that: (i) intellectual property of General Magic included in the DR Assets or
the Licensed Assets infringes on the intellectual property rights of any third
party, (ii) the intellectual property of General Magic included in the DR Assets
or the Licensed Assets does not constitute all of the intellectual property
necessary for the operation by the Company of its business as contemplated to be
conducted as of the Closing Date or (iii) General Magic did not have title to,
or had insufficient rights to, the intellectual property included in the DR
Assets or the Licensed Assets.
(c) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the
indemnification provisions in this Article VIII shall be the exclusive remedy
for any breach of the representations and warranties set forth in this
Agreement.
8.7 Procedure for Indemnification. The procedure for indemnification
shall be as follows:
(a) The party claiming indemnification (the "Claimant") shall
promptly give notice to the party from whom indemnification is claimed (the
"Indemnifying Party") of any claim, whether between the parties or brought by a
third party, specifying (i) in reasonable detail, the factual basis for such and
(ii) in good faith, the estimated amount of the claim. If the claim relates to
an action, suit or proceeding filed by a third party against the Claimant, such
notice shall be given by Claimant within ten business days after written notice
of such action, suit or proceeding was received by Claimant. The failure of the
Claimant to provide such written notice within the time period specified shall
not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification liability under
Sections 8.2, 8.3, 8.4 and 8.5, unless such failure materially prejudices the
rights of the Indemnifying Party in defending against the claim or action.
(b) Following receipt of notice from the Claimant of a claim, the
Indemnifying Party shall have 30 days to make such investigation of the claim as
the Indemnifying Party deems
20
27
necessary or desirable. For the purposes of such investigation, the Claimant
agrees to make available to the Indemnifying Party and/or its authorized
representative(s) the information relied upon by the Claimant to substantiate
the claim. If the Claimant and the Indemnifying Party agree at or prior to the
expiration of said 30-day period (or any mutually agreed upon extension thereof)
to the validity and amount of such claim, the Indemnifying Party shall
immediately pay to the Claimant the full amount of the claim. If the Claimant
and the Indemnifying Party do not agree within said period (or any mutually
agreed upon extension thereof), subject to clause (0) below with respect to
third party claims, the Claimant may seek appropriate legal remedy.
(c) With respect to any claim by a third party as to which the
Claimant is entitled to indemnification hereunder, the Indemnifying Party shall
have the right, at its own expense, to participate in or assume control of the
defense of such claim, and the Claimant shall cooperate fully with the
Indemnifying Party, subject to reimbursement for actual out-of-pocket expenses
incurred by the Claimant as the result of a request by the Indemnifying Party.
Claimant shall have the right to approve legal counsel selected by Indemnifying
Party, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. If the Indemnifying
Party elects to assume control of the defense of any third-party claim, the
Claimant shall have the right to participate in the defense of such claim with
legal counsel of its own selection; provided, however, that the Claimant shall
pay the fees and expenses of such counsel unless the named parties to any such
claim include both the Claimant and the Indemnifying Party and the Claimant has
been advised by counsel that representation of both parties by the same counsel
would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between
them, it being understood that the Indemnifying Party shall not, in connection
with any one claim, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one
separate firm of attorneys at any time for the Claimant. If the Indemnifying
Party does not elect to assume control or otherwise participate in the defense
of any third party claim, it shall be bound by the results obtained by the
Claimant with respect to such Claim; provided, however, that no settlement or
compromise of any claim which may result in any indemnification liability may be
made by the Claimant without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying
Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. No settlement or
compromise of any claim may be made by the Indemnifying Party without the prior
written consent of the Claimant, which written consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed.
(d) If a claim, whether between the parties or by a third party,
requires immediate action, the parties will make every effort to reach a
decision with respect thereto as expeditiously as possible.
(e) Upon satisfaction of any third party claim pursuant to this
Article VIII, the Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated to all rights and
remedies of the Claimant against any third party with respect to such claim;
provided that such right of subrogation shall be limited in amount to the amount
actually received by the Claimant from the Indemnifying Party with respect to
such claim; and provided, further, that any claim by an Indemnifying Party
against any such third party resulting from such right of subrogation shall be
subordinated to any claim of the Claimant against such third party for amounts
in excess of the amount actually received by the Claimant from the Indemnifying
Party pursuant to this Article VIII.
21
28
(f) The indemnification rights provided in Sections 8.2, 8.3, 8.4
and 8.5 shall extend to the shareholders, members, directors, officers,
employees and representatives of the Claimant, although for the purpose of the
procedures set forth in this Section 8.7, any indemnification claims by such
parties shall be made by and through the Claimant.

jurisdictions worldwide. DataRover shall notify all registries and foreign
associates of the assignment of the Magic Trademarks. If Magic receives,
directly or indirectly, through its foreign associates or trademark counsel, any
notices pertaining to the Magic Trademarks, Magic will use reasonable efforts to
promptly forward such notices to DataRover, provided that Magic will have no
responsibility to meet any deadlines or take any actions with respect to the
Magic Trademarks. Magic undertakes, at the request and expense of DataRover, to
do all acts and execute all documents that may be necessary to confirm
DataRover's ownership of the Magic Trademarks after the Effective Date.
5.2 AS IS. The Magic Trademarks are being assigned on an "as is basis."
MAGIC MAKES NO WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING
WITHOUT LIMITATION THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD
PARTY RIGHTS, MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE WITH RESPECT
TO THE MAGIC TRADEMARKS.
5.3 TRADEMARK LICENSES. DataRover hereby grants to Magic a non-exclusive,
limited license to use the Magic Trademarks on or in Magic products and services
containing or based on the Licensed Technology and in printed and electronic and
online materials related to Magic's past business activities using the Licensed

of the Effective Date until the inventory of such products and literature in
existence as of the Effective Date is exhausted.
5.4 RESTRICTIONS. Magic acknowledges the ownership of the Magic Trademarks
in DataRover as of the Effective Date, agrees that it will do nothing
inconsistent with such ownership, agrees to use reasonable efforts to preserve
DataRover's rights in the Magic Trademarks, and that all uses of the Magic
Trademarks by Magic after the Effective Date shall inure to the benefit of and
be on behalf of DataRover. Magic acknowledges Magic's use of the Magic
Trademarks after the Effective Date will not create any right, title or interest
in or to such trademarks. Magic agrees not to do anything contesting or
impairing the trademark rights of DataRover in the Magic Trademarks after the
Effective Date.
5.5 QUALITY STANDARDS. DataRover is familiar with and approves of the
quality of Magic products and services which contained or were based on the

6. ROYALTIES
6.1 UNIT ROYALTIES. DataRover will pay to Magic the royalty per unit set
forth in Exhibit F (Royalties) for each product sold by DataRover or (except as
set forth below) any of its sublicensees (whether to a distributor, reseller,
end user, or any other person) outside the DataRover Exclusive Field of Use that
contains any Magic Cap Software or is based on, derived from or incorporating
any portion of the Hardware Design Package. For these purposes, a sale will be
deemed to have occurred on the date on which DataRover or its sublicensee
receives payment of the price therefor, and the term "sale" includes any sale,
lease, or other transaction in which title passes but does not include the
provision of free demonstration units to manufacturers, developers,
distributors, resellers, or independent sales agents, or any alpha or beta
versions or any product returns. If a DataRover sublicensee pays DataRover only
license fees as consideration for use of the Licensed Technology, and does not
pay DataRover any per-unit royalties for units containing or based on the
Licensed Technology, such units which are outside the DataRover Exclusive Field
of Use shall not be royalty-bearing to Magic, provided DataRover pays Magic the
portion of such license fees required by Section 6.2 ("Sublicensing Fees"). Upon
any Change of Control, the per-unit royalties shall be increased as set forth in
Exhibit F (Royalties).
6.2 SUBLICENSING FEES. DataRover will pay to Magic [**] of any license fees
received by DataRover for any sublicense of the Magic Cap Software or Hardware
Design Package for use outside of the DataRover Exclusive Field of Use. It is
understood and agreed that "license fees" shall not include any unit royalties
(whether pre-paid or otherwise) or payments of non-recurring engineering fees or
other payments specifically allocated in good faith (as shown by documentation
satisfactory to Magic) to the development of identified enhancements or
modifications of DataRover products for DataRover customers.
6.3 REPORTS AND PAYMENTS. Within thirty (30) days after the end of each
calendar quarter, DataRover will provide Magic with a written report stating (a)
the number of units of royalty-bearing products (pursuant to Section 6.1 ("Unit
Royalties")) sold by DataRover during such quarter (less any units returned for
a full refund), (b) the total number of royalty-bearing units that DataRover's
sublicensees have reported to DataRover as having been sold during such quarter
(less any units reported as having been returned for a full refund), (c) the
aggregate amount of royalties owed to Magic as a result of sales and reported
sales, and (d) the amount of any licensee fees received by DataRover during such
quarter and the portion thereof payable to Magic pursuant to Section 6.2
("Sublicensing Fees"). Payment of the royalties and fees owed to Magic will be
due along with such reports. All payments shall be made in U.S. dollars.

6.4 TAXES. DataRover shall pay, and indemnify and hold Magic harmless
against, all sales, use, excise, value-added or similar tax, fee or duty not
based on Magic's net income, including any penalties and interest, as well as
any costs associated with the collection or withholding thereof, levied on the
delivery of the Licensed Technology to DataRover or DataRover's use thereof, or
any payments made by DataRover to Magic hereunder.
6.5 RECORDS AND AUDIT RIGHTS. DataRover will keep complete and accurate
records of its sales of royalty-bearing products and receipt of license fees for
at least three (3) years after the quarter in which such sales are made or such
fees received. Magic will have the right to have a nationally recognized
independent accounting firm (or any other mutually acceptable independent third
party) audit DataRover's relevant books and records no more than once per year
to verify that DataRover has paid the correct amount of royalties and license
fees due under this Agreement. Magic must give at least thirty (30) days advance
written notice to DataRover before any such audit is conducted. All such audits
will be conducted during normal business hours and in a manner that does not
unreasonably interfere with DataRover's business operations. Magic will pay all
costs and fees of the auditing firm unless the audit reveals underpayments by
more than five percent (5%) for the audited period, in which case DataRover will
pay such costs and fees. DataRover will immediately pay to Magic the amount of
any underpayment revealed by any such audit, plus interest on such amount at the
rate of one and one half per cent (1.5%) per month or the highest interest rate
payable under applicable law, whichever is lower. At DataRover's request, the
auditing firm will execute a confidentiality agreement reasonably acceptable to
DataRover. The auditing firm may report to Magic the aggregate amount of
royalties and license fees owed and paid, respectively, for the period being
audited, but otherwise will not disclose any information in the books and
records of DataRover to Magic.
7. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
7.1 RIGHT, POWER, AND AUTHORITY. Magic represents and warrants that it has
full right, power, and authority to enter into and perform its obligations under
this Agreement and to grant the licenses granted and to make the assignments
made in this Agreement.
7.2 NO INFRINGEMENT. Except for the matters disclosed in Schedule 3.5 of
the Stock Purchase Agreement to the best of Magic's knowledge neither the
Licensed Technology, nor its use, sale, disclosure, execution, reproduction,
distribution, performance, or display, to the extent permitted under this
Agreement, infringes or misappropriates any patent, copyright, trade secret, or
other Intellectual Property Rights of any third party.
7.3 DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES. The Licensed Technology and Third-Party
Technology is licensed on an "as is" basis. EXCEPT AS SET FORTH IN SECTION 7.1
("RIGHT, POWER AND AUTHORITY") AND SECTION 7.2 ("NO INFRINGEMENT"), MAGIC MAKES
NO WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY WITH RESPECT TO THE
LICENSED TECHNOLOGY AND THIRD PARTY TECHNOLOGY, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION THE
IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF TITLE, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE,
AND NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS.
12.
46
8. INFRINGEMENT INDEMNITY AND THIRD-PARTY INFRINGEMENT
8.1 MAGIC INDEMNITY. Subject to the limitation of liability in Section 9
("Limitation of Liability"), Magic will indemnify DataRover and its officers,
directors and employees for, and defend and hold them harmless against, any
loss, expense, damages or liability, including, without limitation, any
reasonable attorneys' and expert witness fees, arising from any breach of
Magic's representations and warranties in Section 7 ("Representations and
Warranties") or from any Action alleging that the Licensed Technology infringes
or misappropriates any third party's United States patents, United States
copyrights or trade secrets recognized as such under the Uniform Trade Secrets
Act, provided that (a) Magic is given prompt written notice of the existence of
such Action and is given the right to control the investigation, preparation,
defense and settlement of such Action; and (b) DataRover provides reasonable
cooperation at Magic's request and expense. DataRover may participate in the
defense of such claims with its own counsel at its own expense.
8.2 DATAROVER REMEDIES. In addition to Magic's obligations pursuant to
Section 8.1 ("Magic Indemnity"), following notice of an infringement Action, or
if Magic reasonably believes that such a claim may occur, Magic may, at Magic's
option and expense, either procure for DataRover the right to continue to use
the affected component of the Licensed Technology as furnished, or to replace or
modify the affected component of the Licensed Technology to make it
non-infringing, provided that such replacement or modification has equivalent
functionality and performance.
8.3 EXCEPTIONS TO MAGIC'S OBLIGATIONS. Magic shall have no liability to
DataRover for Actions (a) based on the combination of the Licensed Technology
with software, firmware or hardware not provided by Magic when such combination
is the object of the Action; or (b) based on any misuse of Licensed Technology
or any modification thereof by anyone other than Magic.
8.4 MAGIC DISCLAIMER. THE FOREGOING SHALL BE DATAROVER'S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE
REMEDIES FOR ANY CLAIM OF INFRINGEMENT OF ANY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS.
8.5 INFRINGEMENT BY THIRD PARTIES. DataRover shall use reasonable efforts
to promptly notify Magic in writing in the event that DataRover learns of the
existence of actual or potential infringement by a third party of any
Intellectual Property Rights in the Licensed Technology. Within thirty (30) days
of the receipt of such written notice from DataRover (or such longer time as the
parties may agree), Magic will provide a written response to DataRover stating
whether or not Magic will promptly prosecute, at Magic's expense, an Action
against such third party. If Magic agrees to prosecute the Action against the
third party, DataRover shall nevertheless have the right, at DataRover's
expense, to participate in such Action with DataRover's choice of counsel.
Regardless of whether DataRover chooses to participate in such Action, no such
Action shall be settled or compromised, nor shall any injunction be consented
to, without DataRover's consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.
Should Magic prosecute the Action, any recoveries realized from the successful
prosecution of such an Action shall first go to pay Magic's damages, costs and
expenses, then to DataRover's damages, costs and expenses, if any, and the
remainder shall go to Magic. In the event that Magic does not agree to promptly
prosecute an Action against the third party, DataRover shall have the right to
13.
47
bring such an Action in DataRover's own name. Should DataRover prosecute such an
action, Magic shall nevertheless have the right, at Magic's expense, to
participate in such Action with Magic's choice of counsel. Regardless of whether
Magic chooses to participate in such Action, no such Action shall be settled or
compromised, nor shall any injunction be consented to, without Magic's consent,
which shall not be unreasonably withheld. Should DataRover prosecute the Action,
any recoveries realized from the successful prosecution of such an Action shall
first go to pay DataRover's damages, costs and expenses, then to Magic's
damages, costs and expenses, if any, and the remainder shall go to DataRover.
9. LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY
9.1 CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. Except for a breach of Sections 3.1 ("Exclusive
and Non-Exclusive Licenses in Exclusive Field of Use"), 3.4 ("Restrictions on
Use of Licensed Technology") and 10 ("Confidentiality"), neither party will be
liable for any lost profits or other incidental, consequential, indirect, or
special damages arising from or relating to this agreement, even if advised of
the possibility of such damages and even if any exclusive remedy stated in this
Agreement is deemed to fail of its essential purpose.
9.2 CAP ON MAGIC'S LIABILITY. IN NO EVENT SHALL MAGIC'S AGGREGATE LIABILITY
UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH SECTION 8.1 OF THIS AGREEMENT AND FOR ANY
INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATION UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH SECTION 8.2 OF THE STOCK
PURCHASE AGREEMENT EXCEED [**]. THIS LIMITATION IS CUMULATIVE, WITH ALL PAYMENTS
FOR ALL CLAIMS UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH SECTION 8.1 OF THIS AGREEMENT AND
FOR INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH SECTION 8.2 OF THE
STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT BEING AGGREGATED TO DETERMINE SATISFACTION OF THE
LIMIT.
9.3 LIMITATIONS ARE REASONABLE AND ESSENTIAL. Each party acknowledges and
agrees that the limitations of the other party's liability set forth in this
Section 9 are reasonable and a fundamental part of this Agreement and that the
other party would not enter into this Agreement without these limitations.
10. CONFIDENTIALITY
10.1 NON-DISCLOSURE AND NON-USE. Each party receiving Confidential
Information shall treat such information as strictly confidential, and shall use
the same care to prevent disclosure of such information as such party uses with
respect to its own confidential and proprietary information, which shall not be
less than the care a reasonable person would use under similar circumstances. In
any event, each party receiving Confidential Information shall (a) disclose such
Confidential Information to (i) only those authorized employees and contractors
of such party whose duties justify their need to know such information and who
have been clearly informed of their obligation to maintain the confidential
and/or proprietary status of such Confidential Information; or (ii) for
Confidential Information other than the Licensed Technology, only those third
parties required for the performance of the receiving party's obligations under
this Agreement pursuant to a written confidentiality agreement as least as

shall disclose the terms of this Agreement to any third party without the
express prior written consent of the other party; provided however that either
party may disclose the terms of this Agreement to its attorneys and accountants
or as otherwise may be required by law or to a potential investor or purchaser
under a duty of confidentiality in connection with a contemplated financing of
such party or sale of such party's business, provided, that such investor or
purchaser is not a competitor of the other party.

arrange for their chief executive officers (or another senior executive
specifically requested to act for such chief executive officer) to seek to
resolve the dispute. Second, if the dispute cannot be resolved by the parties'
senior executives within a week after such discussions are initiated, the
parties shall engage in non-binding mediation to be conducted by a
mutually-accepted mediator with specific industry expertise.
11.3 EFFECTS OF TERMINATION.
15.

retain any copies of the Source Code for the Magic Cap Software and Magic
Application Software and of the other components of the Licensed Technology
(other than the SRE Technology) for use as licensed in Section 3.1 ("Exclusive
and Non-Exclusive Licenses in Exclusive Field of Use") in the DataRover
Exclusive Field of Use and to support DataRover's installed base of products
outside the DataRover Exclusive Field of Use; and (b) DataRover shall not be
required to purge backup and archival copies of DataRover information made in
the ordinary course of business which may contain Magic Confidential
Information. All sublicenses for distribution and use granted by DataRover
before the termination date shall remain in effect in accordance with their
terms. Magic will return or destroy all DataRover Confidential Information and
certify that it has done so, provided that Magic shall not be required to purge
backup and archival copies of Magic information made in the ordinary course of
business which may contain DataRover Confidential Information.
11.3.2 TERMINATION BY DATAROVER FOR BREACH. If DataRover terminates
the Agreement for Magic's uncured Material Breach, DataRover's licenses to the

only with respect to patents issued as of the effective date of termination.
Magic will return or destroy all DataRover Confidential Information and certify
that it has done so, provided that Magic shall not be required to purge backup
and archival copies of Magic information made in the ordinary course of business
which may contain DataRover Confidential Information.
11.4 TERMINATION OF LICENSE TO SRE TECHNOLOGY FOR CHANGE OF CONTROL. Magic,
in Magic's sole discretion, may terminate DataRover's license to the SRE
Technology granted in Section 3.1 .3 ("Non-Exclusive License to SRE Technology")
in the event of a Change of Control of DataRover. The effects of termination
with respect to the SRE Technology shall be the same as set forth in Section

12. GENERAL
12.1 INTERPRETATIVE PROVISIONS. Neither party hereto, nor its respective
counsel, shall be deemed the drafter of this Agreement for purposes of
construing the provisions hereof. The language in all parts of this Agreement
shall in all cases be construed according to its fair meaning, and not strictly
for or against any party hereto.
12.2 ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement, the Stock Purchase Agreement and the
Ancillary Agreements (as defined in the Stock Purchase Agreement) set forth the
entire agreement between the parties with regard to the subject matter of this
Agreement. No other covenants, representations or warranties, express or
implied, oral or written, have been made by either party to the other with
respect to the subject matter of this Agreement.
12.3 SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. Neither this Agreement nor any rights or
obligations of DataRover under this Agreement may be assigned (by operation of
law or otherwise) in whole or in part without the prior written consent of
Magic, other than pursuant to a Change of Control or sale of all or
substantially all of DataRover's assets, provided (a) any such assignee in the
context of a Change of Control or asset sale shall agree in writing to be bound
by all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement; (b) the SRE Technology may
not be so assigned without Magic's prior written consent; and (c) Magic may

party's facsimile signature.
12.13 SEVERABILITY. If any provision of this Agreement is unenforceable or
invalid under any applicable law or is so held by applicable court decision,
such unenforceability or invalidity will not render this Agreement unenforceable

as a result of any delay or failure in the performance of such party's

failure is caused by events or circumstances beyond such party's control
including earthquakes, fires, floods, riots, wars, labor disputes, shortages of
materials or supplies, changes in laws or government requirements, and
transportation difficulties. If either party is prevented from performing any of
its obligations hereunder due to any such event or circumstance beyond its
control, it will use reasonable efforts under the circumstances to notify the
other party and to resume performance as soon as reasonably possible.

debtor."

and differences known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, which now exist, may
exist or heretofore have existed between

and to all of the respective Released Matters and that it has not heretofore

any part or portion thereof of any claim, demand or right against the other.
General Magic and Magic Software shall indemnify and hold harmless the other

transfer or purported or claimed assignment or transfer.

The undersigned, Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxx and Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, do hereby
certify that:
1. They are all of the directors of DataRover Mobile Systems, Inc., a
California corporation (the "Corporation").
2. The articles of incorporation of the Corporation are amended and
restated to read in their entirety as follows:
I.
The name of the Corporation is DataRover Mobile Systems, Inc.
II.
The purpose of the Corporation is to engage in any lawful act or
activity for which a Corporation may be organized under the General Corporation
Law of California other than the banking business, the trust company business or
the practice of a profession permitted to be incorporated by the California
Corporations Code.
III.
The Corporation is authorized to issue two classes of stock to be
designated, respectively, "Common Stock" and "Preferred Stock." The total number
of shares of Common Stock which this Corporation is authorized to issue is
10,000,000, and the total number of shares of Preferred Stock this Corporation
is authorized to issue is 15,000,000. The first series of Preferred Stock shall
be comprised of 6,600,000 shares designated as Series A Preferred Stock ("Series
A Preferred").
IV.
The rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions granted to or imposed
upon the Common Stock and Preferred Stock are as follows:
1. Dividend Provisions. The holders of Series A Preferred shall be
entitled to receive in any fiscal year, out of any assets at the time legally
available therefor, dividends in cash at the rate per annum of $0.025 per share
of Series A Preferred, adjusted for any stock split,
1
98
combination, consolidation, or stock distributions or stock dividends with
respect to such shares, payable in preference and priority to any payment of any
cash dividend on Common Stock or other capital stock. The right to such cash
dividends on the Series A Preferred shall be cumulative, and shall be due and
payable quarterly in arrears.
2. Liquidation Preference.
(a) In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up
of the Corporation, either voluntary or involuntary, distributions to the
shareholders of the Corporation will be made in the following manner:
(i) The holders of Series A Preferred shall be entitled
to receive, prior and in preference to any distribution of any of the assets of
the Corporation to the holders of Common Stock by reason of their ownership
thereof, an amount per share equal to $0.50 for each outstanding share of Series
A Preferred plus an amount equal to any unpaid dividends on such share up to the
date fixed for distribution. If upon the occurrence of such event, the assets
and funds thus distributed among the holders of the Series A Preferred shall be
insufficient to permit the payment to such holders of the full aforesaid
preferential amount, then the entire assets and funds of the Corporation legally
available for distribution shall be distributed ratably among the holders of the
Series A Preferred in proportion to the amount of such Series A Preferred owned
by each such holder.
(ii) Upon the completion of the distributions required
by subsection (a)(i) of this Section 2, if assets remain in the Corporation, the
holders of Common Stock shall receive all of the remaining assets of the
Corporation pro rata based on the number of shares of Common Stock held by each.
(b) A merger or reorganization in which the shareholders of the
Corporation immediately prior to the transaction possess less than 50% of the
voting power of the surviving entity (or its parent) immediately after the
transaction, or a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the
Corporation, shall be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up
within the meaning of this Section 2; provided that the holders of Preferred
Stock and Common Stock shall be paid in cash or in securities received or in a
combination thereof (which combination shall be in the same proportions as the
consideration received in the transaction). Any securities to be delivered to
the holders of Preferred Stock and Common Stock upon merger, reorganization or
sale of substantially all the assets of the Corporation shall be valued as
follows:
(i) if traded on a securities exchange, the value shall
be deemed to be the average of the closing prices of the securities on such
exchange over the 30-day period ending three (3) business days prior to the
closing;
(ii) if actively traded over-the-counter, the value
shall be deemed to be the average of the closing bid prices (or closing sales
prices, whichever is applicable) over the 30-day period ending three (3)
business days prior to the closing; and
2
99
(iii) if there is no active public market, the value
shall be the fair market value thereof as mutually determined by the Corporation
and the holders of not less than a majority of the outstanding shares of
Preferred Stock, provided that if the Corporation and the holders of a majority
of the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock are unable to reach agreement, then
by independent appraisal by an investment banker hired and paid by the
Corporation, but acceptable to the holders of a majority of the outstanding
shares of Preferred Stock.
3. Notices of Record Date. In the event of any taking by the Corporation
of a record of the holders of any class of securities for the purpose of
determining the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend (other
than a cash dividend) or other distribution, any right to subscribe for,
purchase or otherwise acquire any shares of stock of any class or any other
securities or property or to receive any other right, the Corporation shall mail
to each holder of Series A Preferred at least ten (10) days prior to such record
date, a notice specifying the date on which any such record is to be taken for
the purpose of such dividend or distribution or right, and the amount and
character of such dividend, distribution or right.
4. Notices. Any notice required by the provisions hereof to be given to
the holder of shares of Series A Preferred shall be deemed given if deposited in
the United States mail, postage prepaid, and addressed to each holder of record
at his address appearing on the books of the Corporation.
5. Voting Rights. The holders of shares of Series A Preferred shall not
have voting rights with respect to such shares, except as otherwise provided
herein.
6. Protective Provisions.
(a) In addition to any other class vote that may be required by
law, so long as any shares of Series A Preferred are outstanding, the
Corporation shall not without first obtaining the approval (by vote or written
consent, as provided by law) of the holders of more than 50% of the then
outstanding shares of Series A Preferred:
(i) amend these Articles of Incorporation or the Bylaws
of the Corporation if such action would change the rights, preferences,
privileges or restrictions of the Series A Preferred;
(ii) increase or decrease the aggregate number of
authorized shares of Preferred Stock;
(iii) create a new class or series of shares having
rights, preferences or privileges prior to or on parity with the Series A
Preferred;
(iv) sell, convey or otherwise dispose of all or
substantially all of its property or business, or merge into or effect a
reorganization with any other corporation (other than a wholly owned subsidiary
of the Corporation) in which the shareholders of the Corporation
3
100
immediately prior to the transaction possess less than 50% of the voting power
of the surviving entity (or its parent) immediately after the transaction; and
(v) repurchase or redeem any of the outstanding shares
of Common Stock (except for repurchase of Common Stock from officers, employees,
directors and consultants upon termination of their employment or service, as
applicable, with the Corporation).
7. Repurchase of Shares. In connection with repurchases by the
Corporation of its Common Stock, pursuant to its agreements with certain of the
holders thereof, Sections 502 and 503 of the California General Corporation Law
shall not apply in whole or in part with respect to such repurchases.
8. Redemption. On November 1, 2005 (the "Redemption Date"), the
Corporation shall redeem all, but not less than all, of the outstanding shares
of Series A Preferred by paying therefor an amount per share equal to $0.50
(subject to adjustment for stock splits, recapitalization and the like) (the
"Redemption Price") plus any dividends unpaid as of the Redemption Date, with
respect to such shares. On the Redemption Date, each holder of shares of Series
A Preferred shall surrender to the Corporation the certificate or certificates
representing such shares, and thereupon the Redemption Price shall be payable to
the order of the person whose name appears on such certificate or certificates
as the owner thereof and each surrendered certificate shall be canceled. From
and after the Redemption Date, unless there shall have been a default in payment
of the Redemption Price, all rights of the holders of such shares as holders of
Series A Preferred (except the right to receive the Redemption Price upon
surrender of their certificate or certificates) shall cease with respect to such
shares, and such shares shall not thereafter be transferred on the books of this
Corporation or be deemed to be outstanding for any purpose whatsoever. If the
funds of the Corporation legally available for redemption of shares are
insufficient to redeem all of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred,
those funds which are legally available will be used to redeem the maximum
possible number of shares pro rata among the holders of such Series A Preferred
shares to be redeemed in proportion to the number of Series A Preferred shares
held by each such holder. The shares of Series A Preferred not redeemed shall
remain outstanding and entitled to all the rights and preferences provided
herein. At any time thereafter when additional funds of the Corporation are
legally available for the redemption of shares of Series A Preferred, such funds
will immediately be used to redeem the balance of the shares which the
Corporation has become obligated to redeem on the Redemption Date but which it
has not redeemed.
V.
1. Limitation of Directors' Liability. The liability of the directors of
the Corporation for monetary damages shall be eliminated to the fullest extent
permissible under California law.
2. Indemnification of Corporate Agents. The Corporation is authorized to
indemnify its agents to the fullest extent permissible under California law. For
purposes of this provision the term "agent" has the meaning set forth in Section
317 of the California Corporations Code.
4
101
3. Repeal or Modification. Any repeal or modification of the foregoing
provisions of this Article V shall not adversely affect any right of
indemnification or limitation of liability for an agent of the Corporation
relating to acts or omissions occurring prior to such repeal or modification.
VI.
The name and address in the State of California of this corporation's
initial agent for service of process is: Xxxxxx Xxx Xxxxxxxx, c/o Xxxx, Xxxx et
al, 000 Xxxxxxxx Xxx., Xxxx Xxxx, Xx. 00000.
3. No shares of the Corporation have been issued.

(a) Request for Registration. At any time and from time
to time on or after the earlier to occur of (i) the second anniversary of the
date of this Agreement and (ii) the expiration of any lock-up period applicable
in connection with the Company's first underwritten
2
109
public offering of Common Stock for its own account, any Holder or Holders
owning, individually or in the aggregate, Registrable Securities representing
not less than 20% of the outstanding Registrable Securities may make a written
request for registration under the 1933 Act of all or part of such Holder's or
Holders' Registrable Securities (a "Demand Registration"), subject to the
provisions of Section 2.1(f) pursuant to which the Company has a one-time right
to convert such Demand Registration into a Piggy-Back Registration. The Company
shall not be obligated to effect more than three Demand Registrations under this
Section 2.1, and in no event shall the Company be obligated to effect a
registration under this Section 2.1 within six (6) months of the effective date
of another registration effected pursuant to this Section 2 or within six (6)
months of the effective date of a registration effected pursuant to an
underwritten public offering of Common Stock. Any request for a Demand
Registration (a "Demand Request") must specify the number of shares of
Registrable Securities proposed to be sold and must also specify the intended
method of disposition thereof, it being agreed by the parties hereto that, in
the event the offering to be made pursuant to such Demand Registration will be
the initial public offering of the Company's Common Stock, then the intended
method of disposition must be a firm commitment underwriting being underwritten
by a reputable investment banking firm selected by the Holder or Holders
participating therein as provided in Section 2.1(c) hereof, and reasonably
acceptable to the Company. The Company shall give written notice of any such
registration request within 10 days after the receipt thereof to all
non-initiating Holders of Registrable Securities, if any. Within 10 days after
receipt of such notice by any Holder of Registrable Securities, such Holder may
request in writing that all or any of such Holder's Registrable Securities be
included in such registration and the Company shall, subject to the limitations
of Section 2.1(c) and the cut-back provisions of Section 2.1.(d), include in the
Demand Registration the Registrable Securities of any such Holder requested to
be so included. Each such request by such other Holders (each, an "Other Holder
Notice") shall specify the number of shares of Registrable Securities proposed
to be sold and the intended method of disposition thereof. Subject to the
foregoing, the Company shall file such registration statement covering the
Registrable Securities as specified in each Demand Request and Other Holder
Notice as soon as practicable, and in no event later than 90 days in the case of
filing a registration statement on Form S-1 and 60 days in the case of filing a
registration statement other than on Form S-1 or other than pursuant to Section
2.3, after receipt of the Other Holder Notices.
(b) Effective Registration. A registration will not count as a
Demand Registration until it has become effective and has remained effective
until all the securities covered by such registration statement have been sold
or withdrawn (which period shall not exceed the period required to satisfy the
prospectus delivery requirements of the federal securities laws, in the case of
an underwritten offering, and 180 days, in the case of any other offering).
(c) Underwritten Offering. If the Holder or Holders initiating a
Demand Registration so elect (and, in the case of the initial public offering of
the Company's Common Stock, such Holders must so elect), the offering of such
Registrable Securities pursuant to such Demand Registration shall be in the form
of an underwritten offering. The Holder or Holders participating in the Demand
Registration shall select one or more firms of investment bankers, which
investment bankers must be reasonably acceptable to the Company, to act as the
managing Underwriter or Underwriters in connection with such offering.
Thereafter, the right of any Holder to include his Registrable Securities in
such registration shall be conditioned upon
3
110
such Holder's participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such
Holder's Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided
herein. All Holders proposing to distribute their securities through such
underwriting shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with
the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting by the Company.
(d) Reduction of Offering. If the managing Underwriter or
Underwriters for a Demand Registration that is to be an underwritten offering
advise the Company and the Holder or Holders who have elected to participate in
such Demand Registration pursuant to Section 2.1(a), in writing, that the dollar
amount or number of shares of Registrable Securities and other shares of Common
Stock or securities to be included in the offering exceeds the maximum dollar
amount or number that can be sold in such offering without adversely affecting
the proposed offering price, the timing, the distribution method or the
probability of success of such offering (the "Maximum Number of Shares"), then
the Company shall include in such registration: (i) first, the Registrable
Securities as to which registration has been requested pursuant to Section
2.1(a) which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares
(allocated, pro rata among such Holders, as nearly as practicable, on the basis
of the number of shares of Registrable Securities requested by each such Holder
to be included in such offering), (ii) second, to the extent the Maximum Number
of Shares has not been reached under the foregoing clause (i), the shares of
Common Stock or other securities that the Company proposes to sell which can be
sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares, and (iii) third, to the
extent the Maximum Number of Shares has not been reached under the foregoing
clauses (i) and (ii), the shares of Common Stock or other securities requested
to be included by any other shareholders with registration rights entitling them
to request to participate in such offering which can be sold without exceeding
the Maximum Number of Shares (allocated pro rata among such other shareholders,
as nearly as practicable, on the basis of the number of shares of Common Stock
or other securities requested by such other shareholders to be included in such
offering).
(e) Withdrawal. If any Holder of Registrable Securities
requesting registration disapproves of the terms of any underwriting or is not
entitled to include all of such Holder's Registrable Securities in any offering,
it may elect to withdraw from such offering by giving written notice to the
Company and the Underwriter of its request to withdraw prior to the
effectiveness of the registration statement. If, by the withdrawal of such
Registrable Securities, a greater number of shares of Registrable Securities,
held by other Holders of Registrable Securities, may be included in such
registration (up to the maximum of any limitation imposed by the Underwriter),
then the Company shall offer to all Holders of Registrable Securities who have
included Registrable Securities in the registration, the right to include
additional shares of Registrable Securities in the same proportion used in
determining the limitation imposed by the provisions of Section 2.1.(d). If all
of the Holders of Registrable Securities which have requested to be included in
a Demand Registration withdraw from any proposed offering and, as a result, the
registration statement is withdrawn prior to being declared effective, such
request shall either (i) count as a Demand Registration provided for in Section
2.1, or (ii) not count as a Demand Registration if the withdrawing Holders pay
their pro rata share (based on the number of shares initially proposed to be
included in such registration statement) of the expenses incurred in connection
with such registration statement.
4
111
(f) Company Right to Convert Demand Registration into a
Piggy-Back Registration on Initial Public Offering. The provisions of this
Section 2.1 notwithstanding, in the event of a request for a Demand Registration
by Holders of Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof which would
constitute the initial public offering of the Common Stock, the Company may, by
giving written notice to the Holder or Holders making such registration request
within 10 days after the receipt of such request, elect to effect an
underwritten public offering of Common Stock for its own account rather than
effect the requested Demand Registration, in which an event, the registration
will be deemed to be a Piggy-Back Registration pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof
and will not count as a Demand Registration and the cutback provisions of
Section 2.2(b)(i) shall apply.
(g) Delay of Offering. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the
Company shall furnish to Holders requesting registration pursuant to this
Section 2.1, a certificate signed by the President of the Company stating that
in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company, it would be
seriously detrimental to the Company and its shareholders for such registration
statement to be filed and it is therefore essential to defer the filing of such
registration statement (and if such judgment is based on legal restrictions, the
Board shall have obtained written advice confirming such restrictions from
outside legal counsel), the Company shall have the right to defer taking action
with respect to such filing for a period of not more than 90 days after receipt
of the request of the Holders initiating such registration; provided, however,
that the Company may not utilize this right more than once in any twelve month
period.
The Company may include in the registration under this
Section 2.1 any other shares of Common Stock, subject to the priority of the
cutback provisions of Section 2.1(d) above.
2.2 Piggy-Back Registration.
(a) Piggy-Back Rights. If at any time (but without any
obligation to do so) the Company proposes to file a registration statement under
the 1933 Act with respect to an offering of Common Stock by the Company for its
own account or for the account of any other shareholders solely for cash, other
than a registration statement (i) on Form S-4 or S-8 (or any substitute or
successor form that may be adopted by the Commission), (ii) filed in connection
with any employee stock option or other benefit plan, (iii) for an exchange
offer or offering of securities solely to the Company's existing shareholders,
or (iv) for a dividend reinvestment plan, then the Company shall:
(i) give written notice of such proposed filing to the
Holders of Registrable Securities as soon as practicable but in no event less
than 20 days before the anticipated filing date, which notice shall describe the
number of shares of Common Stock to be included in such offering, the intended
method(s) of distribution, and the name of the proposed managing Underwriter or
Underwriters, if any, of the offering; and
(ii) offer in such notice to the Holders of Registrable
Securities the opportunity, subject to Section 2.2(b), to register such number
of shares of Registrable Securities as each such Holder may request in writing
within 10 days following receipt of such
5
112
notice (a "Piggy-Back Registration"). The Company shall, subject to Section
2.2(b), cause such Registrable Securities to be included in such registration
and shall use reasonable efforts to cause the managing Underwriter or
Underwriters of a proposed underwritten offering to permit the Registrable
Securities requested to be included in a Piggy-Back Registration to be included
on the same terms and conditions as the other shares of Common Stock included
therein and to permit the sale or other disposition of such Registrable
Securities in accordance with the intended method of distribution thereof.
(b) Reduction of Offering. If the managing Underwriter or
Underwriters for a Piggy-Back Registration that is to be an underwritten
offering advises the Company and the Holders requesting inclusion in the
Piggy-Back Registration, in writing, that the dollar amount or number of shares
of Registrable Securities and other shares of Common Stock to be included in the
offering exceeds the Maximum Number of Shares, then the Company shall include in
such registration:
(i) if the registration is a primary offering for the
Company, (A) first, the shares of Common Stock that the Company proposes to sell
which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares; (B) second, to
the extent the Maximum Number of Shares has not been reached under the foregoing
clause (A), the Registrable Securities as to which registration has been
requested by the Holders of Registrable Securities which can be sold without
exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares (allocated pro rata among such Holders of
Registrable Securities, as nearly as practicable, on the basis of the number of
shares of Registrable Securities requested to be included in such offering by
the Holders of Registrable Securities), and (C) third, to the extent the Maximum
Number of Shares has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A) and (B),
the shares of Common Stock or other securities requested to be included in such
registration by other shareholders entitled to request to participate in such
offering which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares
(allocated pro rata among other shareholders, as nearly as practicable, on the
basis of the number of shares of Common Stock or other securities requested to
be included in such offering by such other shareholders); and
(ii) if the registration is for a secondary offering for
any of the Company's shareholders pursuant to any registration rights of such
shareholders, (A) first, the shares of Common Stock, including Registrable
Securities, that such shareholders have requested to be included in such
offering which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares
(allocated pro rata among such Holders, as nearly as practicable, on the basis
of the number of shares of Registrable Securities requested to be included in
such offering) and (B) second, to the extent the Maximum Number of Shares has
not been reached under the foregoing clause (A), the shares of Common Stock that
any other shareholder proposes to sell which can be sold without exceeding the
Maximum Number of Shares.
(c) Withdrawal. Any Holder may elect to withdraw its
request for inclusion of its Registrable Securities in any Piggy-Back
Registration by giving written notice to the Company of its request to withdraw
prior to the effectiveness of the registration statement. The Company may also
elect to withdraw a Piggy-Back Registration at any time prior to the
effectiveness of the registration statement, and such withdrawal shall not
require the consent of
6
113
any Holder of Registrable Securities included therein; provided, however that
the Company shall reimburse Holders of Registrable Securities requested to be
included in such Piggy-Back Registration for all out-of-pocket expenses, if any,
incurred by such Holders in connection with such Piggy-Back Registration prior
to such withdrawal by the Company.
2.3 Request for Registration on Form S-3. In case the Company shall
receive from any Holder or Holders owning, individually or in the aggregate,
Registrable Securities representing not less than 20% of the outstanding
Registrable Securities, a written request or requests that the Company effect a
registration on Form S-3 or Form S-2, or any successor form to Form S-3 or Form
S-2, and any related qualification or compliance with respect to all or a part
of the Registrable Securities owned by such Holder (an "S-3 Registration"), the
Company will promptly give written notice of the proposed registration, and any
related qualification or compliance, to all other Holders of Registrable
Securities; and at any time after 180 days following the effective date of any
firm commitment underwritten initial public offering or after 180 days following
the effective date of any subsequent registered underwritten offering of the
Company's Common Stock to the general public, as applicable, effect such
registration and all such qualifications and compliances as may be so requested
and as would permit or facilitate the sale and distribution of all or such
portion of such Holder's or Holders' Registrable Securities as are specified in
such request, together with all or such portion of the Registrable Securities of
any other Holder or Holders joining in such request as are specified in a
written request given within fifteen (15) days after receipt of such written
notice from the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be
obligated to effect any such registration, qualification or compliance pursuant
to this Section 2.3: (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) at an aggregate
price to the public of less than $1,000,000, (ii) if the Company has, within the
six (6) month period preceding the date of such request, already effected a
registration for the Holders pursuant to this Section 2.3, (iii) 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, or (iv) notwithstanding the
foregoing, if the Company shall furnish to Holders requesting registration
pursuant to this Section 2.3, a certificate signed by the President of the
Company stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the
Company, it would be seriously detrimental to the Company and its shareholders
for such registration statement to be filed and it is therefore essential to
defer the filing of such registration statement (and if such judgment is based
on legal restrictions, the Board shall have obtained written advice confirming
such restrictions from outside legal counsel), the Company shall have the right
to defer taking action with respect to such filing for a period of not more than
90 days after receipt of the request of the Holders initiating such
registration; provided, however, that the Company may not utilize this right
more than once in any twelve-month period. The Company may include in the
registration under this Section 2.3 any other shares of Common Stock, subject to
the priority of the cutback provisions of Section 2.1(d) above. Subject to the
foregoing, the Company shall file such registration statement as is then
available to the Company covering the Registrable Securities and other
securities so requested to be registered as soon as practicable, and in no event
later than 30 days, after receipt of the request or requests of the Holders. The
Holders shall have the right to make unlimited requests for registration under
this Section 2.3.

3. Registration Procedures.
3.1 Filings; Information. If and whenever the Company is
required to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities under the 1933
Act pursuant to Section 2.1, 2.2 or 2.3., the Company shall use its best efforts
to effect the registration and the sale of such Registrable Securities in
accordance with the intended method of disposition thereof as expeditiously as
practicable, and in connection with any such request:
(a) Filing Registration Statement. The Company shall, as
expeditiously as possible, prepare and file with the Commission a registration
statement on any form for which the Company then qualifies or which counsel for
the Company shall deem appropriate and which form shall be available for the
sale of the Registrable Securities to be registered thereunder in accordance
with the intended method of distribution thereof, and use its best efforts to
cause such filed registration statement to become and remain effective.
(b) Copies. The Company shall, prior to filing a
registration statement or prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto,
furnish without charge to each Selling Holder of the Registrable Securities
covered by such registration statement and legal counsel for any such Selling
Holder, copies of such registration statement as proposed to be filed, each
amendment and supplement to such registration statement (in each case including
all exhibits thereto and documents incorporated by reference therein), the
prospectus included in such registration statement (including each preliminary
prospectus), and such other documents as such Selling Holder may reasonably
request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities
owned by such Selling Holder.
(c) Amendments and Supplements. The Company shall
prepare and file with the Commission such amendments, including post-effective
amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus
used in connection therewith, as may be necessary to keep such registration
statement effective and in compliance with the provisions of the 1933 Act until
all Registrable Securities and other securities covered by such registration
statement have been disposed of in accordance with the intended methods of
disposition set forth in such registration statement (which period shall not
exceed the period required to satisfy the prospectus delivery requirements of
the federal securities laws, in the case of an underwritten offering, and nine
months, in the case of any other offering) or such securities have been
withdrawn.
(d) Notification. After the filing of the registration
statement, the Company shall promptly notify each Selling Holder, and confirm
such advice in writing upon request, (i) when such registration statement
becomes effective, (ii) when any post-effective amendment to such registration
statement becomes effective, (iii) of any stop order issued or threatened by the
Commission (and the Company shall take all reasonable actions required to
prevent the entry of such stop order or to remove it if entered) and (iv) of any
request by the Commission for any amendment or supplement to such registration
statement or any prospectus relating thereto or for additional information or of
the occurrence of an event requiring the preparation of a supplement or
amendment to such prospectus so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers
of such Registrable Securities, such prospectus will not contain an untrue
8
115
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 and
promptly make available to each Selling Holder any such supplement or amendment;
except that before filing with the Commission a registration statement or
prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, including documents
incorporated by reference, the Company shall furnish to each Selling Holder and
to legal counsel representing any Selling Holder, copies of all such documents
proposed to be filed sufficiently in advance of filing to provide such Selling
Holders, Underwriters and legal counsel with a reasonable opportunity to review
such documents and comment thereon, and any such comments shall be sent by such
reviewing party to the Company or its legal counsel within seven (7) days of
receiving documents, and the Company shall not file any registration statement
or prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto, including documents
incorporated by reference to which such Selling Holders or legal counsel shall
reasonably object on a timely basis in light of the requirements of the 1933 Act
or any other applicable laws and regulations.
(e) State Securities Laws Compliance. The Company shall use its
best efforts to (i) register or qualify the Registrable Securities covered by
the registration statement under such securities or blue sky laws of such
jurisdictions in the United States as any Selling Holder (in light of such
Selling Holder's intended plan of distribution) requests and (ii) cause such
Registrable Securities covered by the registration statement to be registered
with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities in the
United States as may be necessary by virtue of the business and operations of
the Company and do any and all other acts and things that may be necessary or
advisable to enable such Selling Holder to consummate the disposition of the
Registrable Securities owned by such Selling Holder in such jurisdictions;
provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to qualify generally
to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to
qualify but for this paragraph (e), or subject itself to taxation in any such
jurisdiction.
(f) Agreements for Disposition. The Company shall enter into
customary agreements (including, if applicable, 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 Securities. The
Selling Holders may, at their option, require that any or all of the
representations, warranties and covenants of the Company in any underwriting
agreement to or for the benefit of any Underwriters also be made to and for the
benefit of the Selling Holders.
(g) Cooperation. The Chief Executive Officer of the Company and
the Chief Financial Officer of the Company and other members of the management
of the Company shall cooperate fully in any offering of Registrable Securities
hereunder, which cooperation shall include, without limitation, the preparation
of the Registration Statement and all other offering materials and related
documents, and participation in meetings with Underwriters, attorneys,
accountants and potential investors.
(h) Records. The Company shall make available for inspection by
any Selling Holder, any Underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to
such registration statement and any attorney, accountant or other professional
retained by any such Selling Holder
9
116
or Underwriter all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents
and properties of the Company as shall be necessary to enable such persons to
exercise their due diligence responsibility, and shall cause the Company's
officers, directors and employees to supply all information reasonably requested
by any such person in connection with such registration statement.
(i) Earnings Statement. The Company shall comply with all
applicable rules and regulations of the Commission and the 1933 Act, and make
available to its shareholders, as soon as practicable, an earnings statement
covering a period of 12 months, beginning within three months after the
effective date of the registration statement, which earnings statement shall
satisfy the provisions of Section II (a) of the 1933 Act and Rule 158
thereunder.
(j) Listing. The Company shall use its best efforts to cause all
such Registrable Securities to be listed on such exchanges or otherwise
designated for trading in the same manner as similar securities issued by the
Company are then listed or designated.
(k) Transfer Agent. The Company shall provide a transfer agent
and registrar for all Registrable Securities registered hereunder and a CUSIP
number for all such Registrable Securities, in each case not later than the
effective date of such registration.
3.2 Selling Holder's Obligation to Suspend Distribution. Each Selling
Holder agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening
of any event of the kind described in Section 3.1.(d)(iv), such Selling Holder
will forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the
registration statement covering such Registrable Securities until such Selling
Holder's receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus
contemplated by Section 3.1.(d)(iv), and, if so directed by the Company, such
Selling Holder will deliver to the Company all copies, other than permanent file
copies then in such Selling Holder's possession, of the most recent prospectus
covering such Registrable Securities at the time of receipt of such notice.
3.3 Registration Expenses. Except as otherwise provided in the final
sentence of Section 2.l(e), the Company shall pay all expenses incurred in
connection with any Demand Registration pursuant to Section 2.1, any Piggy-Back
Registration pursuant to Section 2.2, any S-3 Registration pursuant to Section
2.3 and all expenses incurred in performing or complying with the Company's
obligations under this Section 3, whether or not the registration statement
becomes effective, in each case including, but not limited to: (i) all
registration and filing fees, (ii) fees and expenses of compliance with
securities or blue sky laws (including fees and disbursements of counsel in
connection with blue sky qualifications of the Registrable Securities), (iii)
printing expenses, (iv) the Company's internal expenses (including, without
limitation, all salaries and expenses of its officers and employees performing
legal or accounting duties), (v) the fees and expenses incurred in connection
with the listing of the Registrable Securities as required by Section 3.1.(i),
(vi) National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. fees, (vii) fees and
disbursements of counsel for the Company and fees and expenses for independent
certified public accountants retained by the Company, (viii) the fees and
expenses of any special experts retained by the Company in connection with such
registration, and (ix) all
10
117
reasonable fees and expenses incurred by the Selling Holders in connection with
their participation in such registration, including, without limitation, the
reasonable fees and expenses of one legal counsel for, and chosen by, a majority
in interest of the Selling Holders. The Company shall have no obligation to pay
any underwriting fees, discounts or selling commissions attributable to the
Registrable Securities being sold by the Selling Holders, which expenses shall
be borne by the Selling Holders.
4. Indemnification and Contribution.
4.1 Indemnification by the Company. The Company agrees to
indemnify and hold harmless each Selling Holder, its officers, directors,
partners, members and agents, and each person, if any, who controls such Selling
Holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the
1934 Act from and against any loss, claim, damage or liability and any action in
respect thereof to which such Selling Holder, its officers, directors, partners,
members or agents, and any such controlling person may become subject under the
1933 Act or the 1934 Act or any other statute or common law, insofar as such
loss, claim, damage, liability or action arises out of, or is based upon, (a)
any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained or
incorporated by reference in any registration statement or prospectus relating
to the Registrable Securities (as amended or supplemented if the Company shall
have furnished any amendments or supplements thereto) or any preliminary
prospectus, (b) any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact
required to be stated in any registration statement or prospectus or necessary
to make the statements therein not misleading or (c) any violation by the
Company of the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act, any state securities laws or any rule or
regulation promulgated thereunder in connection with such registration. The
Company also shall pay directly or reimburse each Selling Holder, its officers,
directors, partners, members and agents, and each such controlling person for
any legal and other expenses incurred by such Selling Holder, its officers,
directors, partners, members and agents, or any such controlling person in
investigating or defending or preparing to defend against any such loss, claim,
damage, liability or action. The Company shall either promptly pay directly all
amounts which it is required to pay hereunder or shall reimburse the requesting
party for such amounts within 30 days after any request for such payment. The
Company also shall indemnify any Underwriter of the Registrable Securities,
their officers, directors, partners, members and agents and each person who
controls such Underwriters on substantially the same basis as that of the
indemnification of the Selling Holders provided in this Section 4.1.
The indemnity agreement contained in this Section 4.1 shall not apply to
amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage or liability or any
action in respect thereof if such settlement is effected without the consent of
the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), nor shall the
Company be liable to any Selling Holder or its officers, directors, partners,
members or agents in any such case for any loss, claim, damage, liability or any
action in respect thereof to the extent that it arises from or is based upon and
is in conformity with written information relating to such Selling Holder
furnished expressly for use in connection with such registration by such Selling
Holder or its agents, nor shall the Company be liable to any Selling Holder for
any such loss, claim, damage or liability or any action in respect thereof to
the extent it arises from or is based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement of a material fact contained in any registration statement or
prospectus relating to the Registrable
11
118
Securities delivered by such Selling Holder after the Company had provided
written notice to such Selling Holder that such registration statement or
prospectus contained such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact, (ii) 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 after the Company had provided written notice to such Selling
Holder that such registration statement or prospectus contained such omission or
alleged omission, or (iii) the failure of such Selling Holder to deliver any
preliminary or final prospectus, or any amendments or supplements thereto,
required under applicable securities laws, including the 1933 Act, to be so
delivered, provided that a sufficient number of copies thereof had been timely
provided by the Company to such Selling Holder.
4.2 Indemnification by Holders of Registrable Securities. Each
Selling Holder shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its officers,
directors, partners, members and agents and each person, if any, who controls
the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of
the 1934 Act to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to
such Selling Holder, but solely with reference to information in conformity with
and related to such Selling Holder furnished in writing by such Selling Holder
expressly for use in any registration statement or prospectus relating to the
Registrable Securities, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any
preliminary prospectus. The indemnity agreement contained in this Section 4.2
shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage or
liability or any action in respect thereof if such settlement is effected
without the consent of the Selling Holder (which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld). Such Selling Holder also shall pay directly or reimburse
the Company, its officers, directors, partners, members and agents, and each
such controlling person for any legal and other expenses incurred by the
Company, its officers, directors, partners, members and agents, or any such
controlling person in investigating or defending or preparing to defend against
any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action. Such Selling Holder shall
either promptly pay directly all amounts which it is required to pay hereunder
or shall reimburse the requesting party for such amounts within 30 days after
any request for such payment. Each Selling Holder shall also indemnify and hold
harmless any Underwriter of the Registrable Securities, their officers,
directors, partners, members and agents and each person who controls such
Underwriters on substantially the same basis as that of the indemnification of
the Company provided in this Section 4.2: provided, however, that in no event
shall any indemnity obligation under this Section 4.2 exceed the dollar amount
of the net proceeds actually received by such Selling Holder from the sale of
Registrable Securities which gave rise to such indemnification obligation under
such registration statement or prospectus.
4.3 Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. Promptly after
receipt by any person of any notice of any loss, claim, damage or liability or
any action in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section 4.1
or 4.2, such person (the "Indemnified Party") shall, if a claim in respect
thereof is to be made against any other person for indemnification hereunder,
notify such other person (the "Indemnifying Party") in writing of the loss,
claim damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the failure by the
Indemnified Party to notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the
Indemnifying Party from any liability which the Indemnifying Party may have to
such Indemnified Party hereunder unless the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced
thereby. If the Indemnified Party is seeking indemnification with respect to any
12
119
claim or action brought against the Indemnified Party, then the Indemnifying
Party shall be entitled to participate in such claim or action, and, to the
extent that it wishes, jointly with all other Indemnifying Parties, to assume
the defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. After
notice from the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of its election to
assume the defense of such claim or action, the Indemnifying Party shall not be
liable to the Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses subsequently
incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof other
than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, that in any action in
which both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party are named as
defendants, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate
counsel (but no more than one such separate counsel for all Indemnified Parties)
to represent the Indemnified Party and its controlling persons who may be
subject to liability arising out of any claim in respect of which indemnity may
be sought by the Indemnified Party against the Indemnifying Party, with the fees
and expenses of such counsel at the expense of such Indemnifying Party if, based
upon the written opinion of counsel of such Indemnified Party, representation of
both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or
potential differing interests between them. No Indemnifying Party shall, without
the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, consent to entry of judgment
or effect any settlement of any claim or pending or threatened proceeding in
respect of which the Indemnified Party is or could have been a party and
indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless
such judgment or settlement includes an unconditional release of such
Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such claim or proceeding.
4.4 Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in the
foregoing Sections 4. 1, 4.2 and 4.3 is unavailable to any Indemnified Party in
respect of any loss, claim, damage, liability or action referred to herein, then
each such Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party,
shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a
result of such loss, claim, damage, liability or action in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnified Parties and the
Indemnifying Parties in connection with the actions or omissions which resulted
in such loss, claim, damage, liability or action, as well as any other relevant
equitable considerations. The relative fault of any Indemnified Party and any
Indemnifying Party 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 such Indemnified Party or such Indemnifying Party and the parties'
relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or
prevent such statement or omission.
The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if
contribution pursuant to this Section 4.4 were determined by pro rata allocation
or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the
equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. The
amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Party as a result of any loss, claim,
damage, liability or action referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph
shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any
legal or other expenses incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with
investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the
provisions of this Section 4.4, no Selling Holder shall be required to
contribute any amount in excess of the dollar amount of the net proceeds
actually received by such Selling Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities
which gave rise to such contribution
13
120
obligation. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning
of Section 11(f) of the 0000 Xxx) shall be entitled to contribution from any
person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
4.5 Superseding Provisions. The indemnification provisions of
any underwriting agreement entered into by the Company and any Selling Holder
with respect to any registration rights granted to such Selling Holder pursuant
to this Agreement shall supersede the indemnification provisions of this Section
4.
5. Underwriting and Distribution.
5.1 Restrictions on Sale by the Company and Others. The Company
agrees (i) not to effect any sale or distribution of any securities similar to
those being registered in accordance with Section 2.1, or any securities
convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for such securities, during the
14 days prior to, and during the 120-day period beginning on, the effective date
of any registration statement (except as part of such registration statement
where the Holder making such Demand Registration consents); and (ii) that any
agreement entered into after the date hereof pursuant to which the Company
issues or agrees to issue any privately placed securities shall contain a
provision under which holders of such securities agree not to effect any sale or
distribution of any such securities during the periods described in (i) above,
other than a sale pursuant to Rule 144 or 144A under the 1933 Act (except as
part of any such registration, if permitted); provided, however, that the
provisions of this Section 5.1, shall not prevent the conversion or exchange of
any securities pursuant to their terms into or for other securities and shall
not prevent the issuance of securities by the Company under any employee
benefit, stock option or stock subscription plans.
14
121
5.2 Agreement by Holders of Registrable Securities.
(a) The Holders of Registrable Securities, by their
acceptance thereof, agree that, upon request, in connection with any
underwritten public offering by the Company, they will enter into "lock-up"
agreements, in customary form, pursuant to which they will agree not to effect
any sale or distribution of any securities similar to those being registered by
the Company in the Company's first registration which covers Common Stock (or
other securities) to be sold on its behalf in an underwritten offering, or any
securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for such securities,
including a sale pursuant to Rule 144 or 144A under the 1933 Act, during such
period as may be requested by the managing Underwriters, which shall not exceed
180 days, beginning on the effective date of the registration statement relating
to such offering (except as part of such registration statement), provided that
all officers and directors of the Company and holders of 1% or more of the
Company's outstanding shares enter into similar agreements. In order to enforce
the foregoing covenant, the Company may impose appropriate stop-transfer
instructions with respect to the Registrable Securities of each Holder.
(b) It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations
of the Company to take any action pursuant to this Agreement with respect to the
Registrable Securities of any Selling Holder that such Holder shall furnish to
the Company such information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held
by it, and the intended method of disposition of such securities as shall be
required to effect the registration of such Holder's Registrable Securities. The
Company shall have no obligation (including the obligation to pay expenses
pursuant to Section 3.3 hereof) with respect to any registration requested
pursuant to Section 2.1 or Section 2.3 if, in light of the information furnished
pursuant to the preceding sentence, the number of shares or the anticipated
aggregate offering price of the Registrable Securities to be included in the
registration does not equal or exceed the number of shares or the anticipated
aggregate offering price required to originally trigger the Company's obligation
to initiate such registration as specified in Section 2.1 or Section 2.3,
whichever is applicable.
(c) No Holder shall have any right to obtain or seek an
injunction restraining or otherwise delaying any registration being made for or
on behalf of the Company as a result of any controversy that might arise with
respect to the interpretation or implementation of this Agreement.
5.3 Assignment of Registration Rights. The rights to cause the
Company to register Registrable Securities pursuant to this Agreement may be
assigned by a Holder to a transferee or assignee of Registrable Securities;
provided, however, that no such transferee or assignee shall be entitled to
registration rights under Sections 2.2 or 2.3 hereof unless it acquires at least
50,000 shares of Registrable Securities (as adjusted for stock splits and
combinations) and the Company shall, within a reasonable time, be 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;
and provided further, that 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 1933 Act. Any such
assignee shall be subject to all rights and obligations hereunder and, if
requested by the Company, shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms of
15
122
this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, rights to cause the Company to
register securities may be assigned to any subsidiary, parent, partner or
shareholders of a Holder without restriction as to the percentage of shares
acquired by any such subsidiary, parent, partner or shareholder; provided that
all such assignees and transferees who do not meet the 50,000 share threshold
shall appoint a single Holder as their attorney-in-fact for the purpose of
exercising any rights, receiving notices or taking any action under this
Agreement.
5.4 Reports Under the 1934 Act. With a view to making available
to the Holders the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated under the 1933 Act and any
other rule or regulation of the Commission that may at any time permit a Holder
to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration, the
Company agrees to:
(i) make and keep public information available, as those terms
are understood and defined in Rule 144, at all times after ninety (90) days
after the effective date of the first registration statement filed by the
Company covering an underwritten public offering of its securities to the
general public;
(ii) file with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and
other documents required of the Company under the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act; and
(iii) furnish to any Holder, so long as the Holder owns any
Registrable Securities, forthwith upon request (i) a written statement by the
Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements of Rule 144 (at any
time after ninety (90) days after the effective date of said first registration
statement filed by the Company), the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act (at any time
after it has become subject to such reporting requirements), and (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.
6. Stock Legend. In addition to any other legend that may be required to
be placed on the certificates representing the Registrable Securities under
applicable law or under the terms of any other agreement of which any of the
parties hereto are subject, certificates representing the Registrable Securities
shall bear substantially the following legend:
"THIS CERTIFICATE AND THE SHARES REPRESENTED HEREBY MAY NOT BE SOLD, ASSIGNED,
TRANSFERRED, ENCUMBERED OR IN ANY MANNER DISPOSED OF EXCEPT IN ACCORDANCE WITH
THE TERMS OF A REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND THE
REGISTERED HOLDER OF THE SHARES (OR THE PREDECESSOR IN INTEREST OF THE SHARES)
WHICH MAY RESTRICT THE TRANSFER OF THE SHARES FOLLOWING THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF A
REGISTRATION STATEMENT OF THE COMPANY FILED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933."
All certificates representing the Registrable Securities hereafter
issued to any party subject to this Agreement shall bear the legend set forth
above.
16
123
7. Information Rights.
7.1 GMGC shall be entitled to receive from the Company, and the
Company shall use its best efforts to deliver: (i) within 90 days after the end
of each fiscal year of the Company, an audited balance sheet as of the end of
such year and the related statements of income and cash flow and stockholders
equity for such fiscal year and (ii) within 15 days, but in no event later than
45 days, of the end of each fiscal quarter (except for the last quarter of each
fiscal year) of the Company, an unaudited balance sheet as of the end of such

portion thereof; and that the entire legal and beneficial interest of the Stock
he is purchasing is being purchased for, and will be held for the account of,
the Founder only and neither in whole nor in part for any other person.
(b) The Founder is aware of the Corporation's business affairs
and financial condition and has acquired sufficient information about the
Corporation to reach an informed and knowledgeable decision to acquire the
Stock. The Founder further represents and warrants that he has discussed the
Corporation and its plans, operations and financial condition with its officers,
has received all such information as he deems necessary and appropriate to
enable him to evaluate the financial risk inherent in making an investment in
the Stock and has received satisfactory and complete information concerning the
business and financial condition of the Corporation in response to all inquiries
in respect thereof.
(c) The Founder realizes that his purchase of the Stock will be
a highly speculative investment, and he is able, without impairing his financial
condition, to hold the Stock for an indefinite period of time and to suffer a
complete loss on his investment.
(d) The Corporation has disclosed to the Founder that:
(i) The sale of the Stock has not been registered under
the Act, and the Stock must be held indefinitely unless a transfer of it is
subsequently registered under the Act or an exemption from such registration is
available, and that the Corporation is under no obligation to register the Stock
(except as set forth in that certain Registration Rights Agreement of even date
herewith by and among the Corporation, General Magic, Inc., a Delaware
corporation, Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxx, Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxxxxx and Xxxx
X. Xxxxxxx); and
(ii) The Corporation will make a notation in its records
of the aforementioned restrictions on transfer and legends.
(e) The Founder is aware of the provisions of Rule 144,
promulgated under the Act, which, in substance, permits limited public resale of
"restricted securities" acquired, directly or indirectly, from the issuer
thereof (or an affiliate of such issuer), in a non-public offering subject to
the satisfaction of certain conditions, including among other things: the resale
occurring not less than one (1) year from the date the Founder has purchased and
paid for the Stock; the availability of certain public information concerning
the Corporation; the sale being through a broker in an unsolicited "brokers
transaction" or in a transaction directly with a market maker (as said term is
defined under the Exchange Act); and that any sale of the Stock may be made by
him only in limited amounts during any three-month period not exceeding
specified limitations. The Founder further represents that he understands that
at the time he wishes to sell the Stock there may be no public market upon which
to make such a sale, and that, even if such a public market then exists, the
Corporation may not be satisfying the current public information requirements of
Rule 144, and that, in such event, he would be precluded from selling the Stock
under Rule 144 even if the two-year minimum holding period had been satisfied.
The Founder represents that he understands that in the event all of the
requirements of Rule 144 are not satisfied, registration under the Act or
compliance with an exemption from registration will be required; and that,
notwithstanding the fact that Rule 144 is not exclusive, the staff of the
2
144
Securities and Exchange Commission has expressed its opinion that persons
proposing to sell private placement securities other than in a registered
offering and otherwise than pursuant to Rule 144 will have a substantial burden
of proof in establishing that an exemption from registration is available for
such offers or sales, and that such persons and their respective brokers who
participate in such transactions do so at their own risk.
4. Further Instruments. The parties agree to execute such further
instruments and to take such further action as may reasonably be necessary to
carry out the intent of this Agreement.
5. Notice. Any notice required or permitted hereunder shall be given in
writing and shall be deemed effectively given upon personal delivery or upon
deposit in the United States Post Office, by registered or certified mail with
postage and fees prepaid, addressed to the other party hereto at the address
hereinafter shown below his signature or at such other address as such party may
designate by ten (10) days advance written notice to the other party hereto.
6. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of
the successors and assigns of the Corporation and, subject to the restrictions
on transfer herein set forth, be binding upon the Founder, his heirs, executors,
administrators, successors and assigns.
7. Entire Agreement; Amendments. This Agreement shall be construed under
the laws of the State of California, and constitutes the entire agreement of the
parties with respect to the subject matter hereof superseding all prior written
or oral agreements, and no amendment or addition hereto shall be deemed
effective unless agreed to in writing by the parties hereto.
8. Right to Specific Performance. The Founder agrees that the
Corporation shall be entitled to a decree of specific performance of the terms
hereof or an injunction restraining violation of this Agreement, said right to
be in addition to any other remedies available to the Corporation.
9. Separability. If any provision of this Agreement is held by a court
of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remaining
provisions shall nevertheless continue in full force and effect without being
impaired or invalidated in any way and shall be construed in accordance with the
purposes and tenor and effect of this Agreement.

October 28, 1998
VIA HAND DELIVERY
[NAME]
Dear [NAME]:
As you know, General Magic has entered into an agreement to sell the assets and
license the technology of its DataRover division to DataRover Mobile Systems,
Inc. ("DSI") in a transaction expected to close on October 28, 1998 (the
"Closing Date"). As an employee in the DataRover division, you have been
offered employment with DSI effective as of the next business day following the
Closing Date. The purpose of this letter is to provide you with formal notice
of your termination of employment with General Magic effective as of the close
of business on the Closing Date.
You will receive your final paycheck, which will include all unpaid wages you
have earned through your final day of work with General Magic, as well as any
unused vacation which you have accrued. You will continue to be covered under
General Magic's applicable group medical and dental plan through your last day
worked at General Magic. After that date, you will be able to elect continued
insurance coverage (COBRA) in accordance with federal law. Also, you may be
entitled to a distribution from the General Magic 401(k) Savings and Retirement
Plan in accordance with the Plan's provisions. Please set up an appointment
with Human Resources in order to receive information regarding your COBRA
election, the 401(k) Plan, completion of General Magic's exit checklist and
other matters related to the conclusion of your employment with General Magic.
In recognition of your continued support of General Magic and agreement to join
DSI, we would like to offer you the opportunity to have your existing General
Magic stock options which are unvested as of the Closing Date amended to
provide for continued vesting as long as you remain an employee of DSI. In
addition, the amendment will provide for full vesting of those stock options
after completion of six months of employment with DSI or
148
upon certain earlier events. However, you will need to exercise your General
Magic options within three months following the Closing Date for any shares
that have vested as of the Closing Date. These amendments are covered in
greater detail in the form of "Amendment of Stock Option" enclosed with this
letter. If you wish to have your existing unvested General Magic stock options
amended, please sign the Amendment of Stock Option and bring it to your meeting
with Human Resources.
Finally, we have attached a copy of the General Magic Proprietary Rights and
Information Agreement which you signed when you joined the company. Please
review it carefully, as your obligations under this agreement are ongoing and
survive the termination of your employment with General Magic.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for all your hard work and
support of General Magic. I am confident that you'll attain great success with
DSI, and I wish you all the best of luck.
Sincerely,
Xxxxx X. Xxxxxx

GENERAL MAGIC, INC.
AMENDMENT OF STOCK OPTION
THIS AMENDMENT OF STOCK OPTION (the "AGREEMENT") is made and entered into
by and between General Magic, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "COMPANY"), and
the undersigned Optionee, effective as of the Closing Date (as defined below).
RECITALS
A. The Company previously granted to the Optionee prior to September
1998 one or more options (each an "OPTION") to purchase shares of the common
stock of the Company pursuant to the Company's 1990 Stock Option Plan (the
"PLAN") and the terms and conditions of a Stock Option Agreement between the
Company and the Optionee (each an "OPTION AGREEMENT"). A list of such Options
is attached to this Agreement as Exhibit A. This Agreement shall be deemed a
separate agreement with respect to each such Option and Option Agreement.
B. The Optionee is currently an employee of the Company working in the
Company's DataRover division.
C. The Company intends to sell the assets of the DataRover division to
DataRover Mobile Systems, Inc. ("DataRover") on the date of the closing (the
CLOSING DATE") of the transactions contemplated by a Stock Purchase Agreement
among DataRover, the Company and others.
D. A number of shares subject to the Option, as designated in Exhibit A
(the "DESIGNATED SHARES"), will remain unvested and unexercisable under the
terms of the Option Agreement as of the Closing Date.
E. In order to induce the Optionee to enter into an employment
relationship with DataRover, the Company is willing to amend certain provisions
of the Option Agreement with respect to the Designated Shares, as set forth
below.
F. Unless otherwise defined herein, all capitalized terms shall have the
meanings assigned to such terms by the Option Agreement or the Plan.
AGREEMENT
In consideration of the mutual covenants and conditions contained herein,
it is hereby agreed by and among the parties hereto that the Option Agreement
shall be amended effective as of the Closing Date as follows:
1
150
1. Deemed Continuation of Employment. In determining whether the
Optionee remains an employee of or has ceased employment with the Participating
Company Group for purposes of the treatment of the Designated Shares only,
DataRover shall be deemed a "Participating Company" for all purposes applicable
to the treatment of the Designated Shares under the Option Agreement and this
Agreement. In accordance with the foregoing.
(a) the Optionee shall be deemed an employee of the Participating
Company Group and shall continue to vest in the Designated Shares in accordance
with the vesting provisions of the Option Agreement for so long as the Optionee
remains an employee of DataRover or any other Participating Company;
(b) termination of the Optionee's employment with DataRover (unless
the Optionee remains or immediately becomes an employee of another
Participating Company) shall be deemed termination of employment with the
Participating Company Group for purposes of the exercisability of the
Designated Shares, and, accordingly, the applicable post-termination exercise
periods provided in paragraph 7 of the Option Agreement shall commence with
respect to the Designated Shares upon the Optionee's termination of employment
with DataRover (unless the Optionee remains or immediately becomes an employee
of another Participating Company); and
(c) upon the Optionee's termination of employment with the Company,
the vesting of the shares subject to the Option which are not Designated Shares
shall cease, and the applicable post-termination exercise periods provided in
paragraph 7 of the Option Agreement shall commence with respect to such shares.
2. Acceleration of Vesting.
(a) Provided that the Optionee accepts employment with DataRover,
the Designated Shares shall become immediately exercisable and vested in full
(and the Vested Ratio shall be deemed to equal 48/48) on the first to occur of:
(i) the date occurring six (6) months after the Closing Date,
provided that the Optionee's employment with DataRover has not terminated prior
to such date;
(ii) the date on which the Optionee's employment with DataRover
terminates, provided that such termination of employment does not result from
the Optionee's voluntary resignation or involuntary termination for Cause, as
defined below; or
(iii) the date ten (10) days prior to the consummation of a
Transfer of Control of either the Company or DataRover if, in connection with
such Transfer of Control, the Acquiring Corporation fails to assume the
Company's rights and obligations under the Option or to substitute for the
Option a substantially equivalent option for the Acquiring Corporation's
2
151
stock. In the event of a Transfer of Control of DataRover in which the Acquiring
Corporation assumes or substitutes for the Options, the Acquiring Corporation
shall be deemed a "Participating Company" for all purposes applicable to the
treatment of the Designated Shares under the Option Agreement and this
Agreement.
(b) For purposes of this Section 2, "Cause" shall mean any of the
following: (i) the Optionee's theft, dishonesty, or intentional falsification of
any Participating Company employment or company records; (ii) the Optionee's
improper disclosure of a Participating Company's confidential or proprietary
information; (iii) any action by the Optionee which has a detrimental effect on
a Participating Company's reputation or business; (iv) the Optionee's failure or
inability to perform any reasonable assigned duties after written notice from a
Participating Company of, and a reasonable opportunity to cure, such failure or
inability; or (v) the Optionee's conviction (including any plea of guilty or
nolo contendere) of any criminal act that impairs the Optionee's ability to
perform his or her duties with the Participating Company Group.
3. Acknowledgment of Tax Consequences. The Optionee understands and
acknowledges that the amendments contemplated by this Agreement may result in
the Option ceasing to be an "incentive stock option" within the meaning of
Section 422(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, to the extent,
if any, that it was an incentive stock option prior to these amendments. In any
event, to the extent that the Optionee does not exercise the Option within three
months following the date on which the Optionee ceases to be an employee of the
Company, the Option will not be an incentive stock option. The Optionee further
acknowledges that the tax law applicable to stock options is complex and subject
to change, and that the Optionee is advised to consult with his or her tax
advisor regarding the tax consequences of the Option and the amendments
contemplated by this Agreement.
4. Continuation of Other Terms. Except as set forth herein, all other
terms and conditions of the Option Agreement shall remain in full force and
effect.

NOVEMBER 4, 1998
DATAROVER MOBILE SYSTEMS, INC.
COMMON STOCK WARRANT
This certifies that, for good and valuable consideration, DATAROVER
MOBILE SYSTEMS, INC., a California corporation (the "Company"), grants to
GENERAL MAGIC, INC., a Delaware corporation (the "Warrantholder"), the right to
subscribe for and purchase from the Company up to one hundred thousand
(100,000), subject to adjustment as per Section 6 below, validly issued, fully
paid and nonassessable shares (the "Warrant Shares") of the Company's Common
Stock, no par value per share (the "Common Stock"), at the exercise price per
share of $.50 (the "Exercise Price"), exercisable at any time and from time to
time, subject to the terms, conditions and adjustments herein set forth, during
the period (the "Exercise Period") commencing on the date hereof and ending on
the earlier of (i) the fifth anniversary of the date hereof, (ii) the closing of
the sale and issuance of Common Stock of the Company in a firmly underwritten
public offering, pursuant to an effective registration statement under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the gross proceeds of which equal or exceed
$10,000,000 or (iii) immediately preceding a Change of Control (as defined
below). This Warrant is granted in connection with the purchase by the
Warrantholder of 6,600,000 shares of the Company's Series A Preferred Stock and
490,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock pursuant to a Stock Purchase
Agreement by and between the Company and the Warrantholder dated as of October
28, 1998.
1. Exercise of Warrant; Payment of Taxes; Information.
1.1 Exercise of Warrant.
(a) Exercise. This Warrant may be exercised by the Warrantholder by (i)
the surrender of this Warrant to the Company, with a duly executed Exercise Form
specifying the number of Warrant Shares to be purchased, during normal business
hours on any Business Day during the Exercise Period and (ii) the delivery of
payment to the Company, by (A) cash, wire transfer of immediately available
funds to a bank account specified by the Company, or by certified or bank
cashier's check in lawful money of the United States of America, or (B) by
cancellation by the Warrantholder of indebtedness of the Company to the
Warrantholder, or (C) by a combination of (A) and (B), of the Exercise Price for
the number of Warrant Shares
154
specified in the Exercise Form. The Company agrees that such Warrant Shares
shall be deemed to be issued to the Warrantholder as the record holder of such
Warrant Shares as of the close of business on the date on which this Warrant
shall have been surrendered and payment made for the Warrant Shares as
aforesaid. A stock certificate or certificates for the Warrant Shares specified
in the Exercise Form shall be delivered to the Warrantholder as promptly as
practicable, and in any event within 10 days, thereafter. The stock certificate
or certificates so delivered shall be in denominations of 100 shares each or
such lesser or greater denominations as may be reasonably specified by the
Warrantholder in the Exercise Form. If this Warrant shall have been exercised
only in part, the Company shall, at the time of delivery of the stock
certificate or certificates, deliver to the Warrantholder a new Warrant
evidencing the rights to purchase the remaining Warrant Shares, which new
Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this Warrant. No
adjustments shall be made on Warrant Shares issuable on the exercise of this
Warrant for any cash dividends paid or payable to holders of record of Common
Stock prior to the date as of which the Warrantholder shall be deemed to be the
record holder of such Warrant Shares.
(b) Net Issue Exercise. In lieu of exercising this Warrant pursuant to
Section 1.1(a), if the fair market value of one share of Common Stock is greater
than the exercise price, this Warrant may be exercised by the Warrantholder by
the surrender of this Warrant to the Company, with a duly executed Exercise Form
marked to reflect a "Net Issue Exercise" and specifying the number of Warrant
Shares to be purchased, during normal business hours on any Business Day during
the Exercise Period. The Company agrees that such Warrant Shares shall be deemed
to be issued to the Warrantholder as the record holder of such Warrant Shares as
of the close of business on the date on which this Warrant shall have been
surrendered as aforesaid. Upon such exercise, the Warrantholder shall be
entitled to receive shares equal to the value of this Warrant (or the portion
thereof being canceled) by surrender of this Warrant to the Company together
with notice of such election in which event the Company shall issue to
Warrantholder a number of shares of the Company's Common Stock computed as of
the date of surrender of this Warrant to the Company using the following
formula:
X = Y(A-B)
-----
A
Where X = the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to
Warrantholder under this Section 1.1(b);
Y = the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable under this
Warrant or, if only a portion of the Warrant is being exercised,
the portion of the Warrant being canceled (at the date of such
calculation);
A = the fair market value of one share of the Company's Common
Stock (at the date of such calculation);
B = the Exercise Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculation).
155
(c) Fair Market Value. For purposes of Section 1.1(b), the fair market
value of one share of the Company's Common Stock shall mean:
(i) the closing price per share of the Company's Common Stock on
the principal national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is
listed or admitted to trading or,
(ii) if not listed or traded on any such exchange, the last
reported sales price per share on the Nasdaq National Market or the
Nasdaq Small-Cap Market (collectively, "Nasdaq") or,
(iii) if not listed or traded on any such exchange or Nasdaq, the
average of the bid and asked price per share as reported in the "pink
sheets" published by the National Quotation Bureau, Inc. (the "pink
sheets") or,
(iv) if such quotations are not available, the fair market value
per share of the Company's Common Stock on the date such notice was
received by the Company as reasonably determined by the Board of
Directors of the Company.
1.2 Payment of Taxes. The issuance of certificates for Warrant Shares
shall be made without charge to the Warrantholder for any stock transfer or
other issuance tax in respect thereto; provided, however, that the Warrantholder
shall be required to pay any and all taxes which may be payable in respect of
any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any certificate in a name
other than that of the then Warrantholder as reflected upon the books of the
Company.
1.3 Information. Upon receipt of a written request from a Warrantholder,
the Company agrees to deliver promptly to such Warrantholder a copy of its
current publicly available financial statements and to provide such other
publicly available information concerning the business and operations of the
Company as such Warrantholder may reasonably request in order to assist the
Warrantholder in evaluating the merits and risks of exercising the Warrant and
to make an informed investment decision in connection with such exercise.
2. Transfer of Warrant.
2.1 Warrant Register. The Company will maintain a register (the "Warrant
Register") containing the names and addresses of the Warrantholder or
Warrantholders. Any Warrantholder of this Warrant or any portion thereof may
change his address as shown on the Warrant Register by written notice to the
Company requesting such change. Any notice or written communication required or
permitted to be given to the Warrantholder may be delivered or given by mail to
such Warrantholder as shown on the Warrant Register and at the address shown on
the Warrant Register. Until this Warrant is transferred on the Warrant Register
of the Company, the Company may treat the Warrantholder as shown on the Warrant
Register as the absolute owner of this Warrant for all purposes, notwithstanding
any notice to the contrary.
156
2.2 Warrant Agent. The Company may, by written notice to the
Warrantholder, appoint an agent for the purpose of maintaining the Warrant
Register referred to in Section 2.1 above, issuing the Warrant Shares or other
securities then issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant, exchanging this
Warrant, replacing this Warrant, or any or all of the foregoing. Thereafter, any
such registration, issuance, exchange, or replacement, as the case may be, shall
be made at the office of such agent.
2.3 Transferability and Nonnegotiability of Warrant. This Warrant may
not be transferred or assigned in whole or in part without compliance with all
applicable federal and state securities laws by the transferor and the
transferee (including the delivery of investment representation letters and
legal opinions reasonably satisfactory to the Company, if such are requested by
the Company). Subject to the provisions of this Warrant with respect to
compliance with the Securities Act, title to this Warrant may be transferred by
endorsement (by the Warrantholder executing the Assignment Form annexed hereto)
and delivery in the same manner as a negotiable instrument transferable by
endorsement and delivery.
2.4 Exchange of Warrant Upon a Transfer. On surrender of this Warrant
for exchange, properly endorsed on the Assignment Form and subject to the
provisions of this Warrant with respect to compliance with the Act and with the
limitations on assignments and transfers and contained in this Section 2, the
Company at its expense shall issue to or on the order of the Warrantholder a new
warrant or warrants of like tenor, in the name of the Warrantholder or as the
Warrantholder (on payment by the Warrantholder of any applicable transfer taxes)
may direct, for the number of shares issuable upon exercise hereof.
2.5 Compliance with Securities Laws.
(a) The Warrantholder, by acceptance hereof, acknowledges that this
Warrant and the shares of Warrant Shares to be issued upon exercise hereof are
being acquired solely for the Warrantholder's own account and not as a nominee
for any other party, and for investment, and that the Warrantholder will not
offer, sell or otherwise dispose of this Warrant or any shares of Warrant Shares
to be issued upon exercise hereof except under circumstances that will not
result in a violation of the Act or any state securities laws. Upon exercise of
this Warrant, the Warrantholder shall, if requested by the Company, confirm in
writing, in a form satisfactory to the Company, that the shares of Warrant
Shares so purchased are being acquired solely for the Warrantholder's own
account and not as a nominee for any other party, for investment, and not with a
view toward distribution or resale.
(b)(i) This Warrant shall (and each Warrant issued in substitution for
this Warrant issued pursuant to Section 4 shall) be stamped or otherwise
imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form:
157
"THIS WARRANT AND ANY SHARES ACQUIRED UPON THE EXERCISE OF THIS WARRANT
HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED,
AND MAY NOT BE SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN
EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FILED UNDER SUCH ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN
EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER SUCH ACT."
(ii) Except as otherwise permitted by this Section 2, each stock
certificate for Warrant Shares issued upon the exercise of any Warrant and each
stock certificate issued upon the direct or indirect transfer of any such
Warrant Shares shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend in
substantially the following form:
"THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED
UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD OR
OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION
STATEMENT FILED UNDER SUCH ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM
REGISTRATION UNDER SUCH ACT."
2.6 Removal of Legends. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Warrantholder
may require the Company to issue a stock certificate for Warrant Shares without
a legend if (i) such Warrant Shares, as the case may be, have been registered
for resale under the Securities Act or sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the
Securities Act (or a successor rule thereto) or (ii) the Warrantholder has
received an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company that such
registration is not required with respect to such Warrant Shares.
3. Reservation and Registration of Shares, Etc. The Company covenants
and agrees that all Warrant Shares which are issued upon the exercise of this
Warrant will, upon issuance, be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and
free from all taxes, liens, security interests, charges and other encumbrances
with respect to the issue thereof, other than taxes in respect of any transfer
occurring contemporaneously with such issue. The Company further covenants and
agrees that, during the Exercise Period, the Company will at all times have
authorized and reserved, and keep available free from preemptive rights, a
sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to provide for the exercise of the
rights represented by this Warrant and will, at its expense, upon each such
reservation of shares, procure such listing of such shares of Common Stock
(subject to issuance or notice of issuance) as then may be required on all stock
exchanges on which the Common Stock is then listed or on Nasdaq.
4. Exchange, Loss or Destruction of Warrant. Upon receipt by the Company
of evidence satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of
this Warrant and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of such bond or
indemnification as the Company may require, and, in the case of such mutilation,
upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company will execute and
deliver a new Warrant of like tenor. The term "Warrant" as used in this
Agreement shall be deemed to include any Warrants issued in substitution or
exchange for this Warrant.
158
5. Ownership of Warrant. The Company may deem and treat the person in
whose name this Warrant is registered as the holder and owner hereof
(notwithstanding any notations of ownership or writing hereon made by anyone
other than the Company) for all purposes and shall not be affected by any notice
to the contrary.
6. Certain Adjustments.
6.1 The number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of this
Warrant and the Exercise Price shall be subject to adjustment as follows:
(a) Stock Dividends. If at any time prior to the exercise of this
Warrant in full (i) the Company shall fix a record date for the issuance of any
stock dividend payable in shares of Common Stock or (ii) the number of shares of
Common Stock shall have been increased by a subdivision or split-up of shares of
Common Stock, then, on the record date fixed for the determination of holders of
Common Stock entitled to receive such dividend or immediately after the
effective date of subdivision or split-up, as the case may be, the number of
shares of Common Stock to be delivered upon exercise of this Warrant will
increased so that the Warrantholder will be entitled to receive the number of
shares of Common Stock that such Warrantholder would have owned immediately
following such action had this Warrant been exercised immediately prior thereto,
and the Exercise Price will be adjusted as provided below in paragraph (f).
(b) Combination of Stock. If at any time prior to the exercise of this
Warrant in full the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding shall have been
decreased by a combination of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, then,
immediately after the effective date of such combination, the number of shares
of Common Stock to be delivered upon exercise of this Warrant will be decreased
so that the Warrantholder thereafter will be entitled to receive the number of
shares of Common Stock that such Warrantholder would have owned immediately
following such action had this Warrant been exercised immediately prior thereto,
and the Exercise Price will be adjusted as provided below in paragraph (f).
(c) Reorganization, etc. If at any time prior to the exercise of this
Warrant in full any capital reorganization of the Company, or any
reclassification of the Common Stock, or any consolidation of the Company with
or merger of the Company with or into any other person or any sale, lease or
other transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to any
other person, shall be effected in such a way that the holders of Common Stock
shall be entitled to receive stock, other securities or assets (whether such
stock, other securities or assets are issued or distributed by the Company or
another person) with respect to or in exchange for Common Stock, then, upon
exercise of this Warrant the Warrantholder shall have the right to receive the
kind and amount of stock, other securities or assets receivable upon such
reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale, lease or other
transfer by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock that such
Warrantholder would have been entitled to receive upon exercise of this Warrant
had this Warrant been exercised immediately before such reorganization,
reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale, lease or other transfer,
subject to
159
adjustments that shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable
to the adjustments provided for in this Section 6.
(d) Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock or scrip
shall be issued to any Warrantholder in connection with the exercise of this
Warrant. Instead of any fractional shares of Common Stock that would otherwise
be issuable to such Warrantholder, the Company will pay to such Warrantholder a
cash adjustment in respect of such fractional interest in an amount equal to
that fractional interest of the then current Closing Price per share of Common
Stock.
(e) Carryover. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 6, no
adjustment shall be made to the number of shares of Common Stock to be delivered

purchasable immediately thereafter.
(g) No Duplicate Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything else to the
contrary contained herein, in no event will an adjustment be made under the
provisions of this Section 6 to the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon
exercise of this Warrant or the Exercise Price for any event if an adjustment
having substantially the same effect to the Warrantholder as any adjustment that
otherwise would be made under the provisions of this Section 6 is made by the
Company for any such event to the number of shares of Common Stock (or other
securities) issuable upon exercise of this Warrant.
6.2 No Adjustment for Dividends. Except as provided in Section 6.1, no
adjustment in respect of any dividends shall be made during the term of the

chief financial officer of the Company setting forth the number of Warrant
Shares and the Exercise Price of such Warrant Shares after such adjustment,

172
4. SHARES SUBJECT TO PLAN.
4.1 MAXIMUM NUMBER OF SHARES ISSUABLE. Subject to adjustment as
provided in Section 4.2, the maximum aggregate number of shares of Stock that
may be issued under the Plan shall be seven hundred and fifty thousand shares
(750,000) and shall consist of authorized but unissued or reacquired shares of
Stock or any combination thereof. If an outstanding Option for any reason
expires or is terminated or canceled or if shares of Stock are acquired upon the
exercise of an Option subject to a Company repurchase option and are repurchased
by the Company at the Optionee's exercise price, the shares of Stock allocable
to the unexercised portion of such Option or such repurchased shares of Stock
shall again be available for issuance under the Plan. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, at any such time as the offer and sale of securities pursuant to the
Plan is subject to compliance with Section 260.140.45 of Title 10 of the
California Code of Regulations ("SECTION 260.140.45"), the total number of
shares of Stock issuable upon the exercise of all outstanding Options (together
with options outstanding under any other stock option plan of the Company) and
the total number of shares provided for under any stock bonus or similar plan of
the Company shall not exceed thirty percent (30%) (or such other higher
percentage limitation as may be approved by the shareholders of the Company
pursuant to Section 260.140.45) of the then outstanding shares of the Company as
calculated in accordance with the conditions and exclusions of Section
260.140.45.
4.2 ADJUSTMENTS FOR CHANGES IN CAPITAL STRUCTURE. In the event
of any stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, recapitalization,
combination, reclassification or similar change in the capital structure of the
Company, appropriate adjustments shall be made in the number and class of shares
subject to the Plan and to any outstanding Options and in the exercise price per
share of any outstanding Options. If a majority of the shares which are of the
same class as the shares that are subject to outstanding Options are exchanged
for, converted into, or otherwise become (whether or not pursuant to an
Ownership Change Event, as defined in Section 8.1) shares of another corporation
(the "NEW SHARES"), the Board may unilaterally amend the outstanding Options to
provide that such Options are exercisable for New Shares. In the event of any
such amendment, the number of shares subject to, and the exercise price per
share of, the outstanding Options shall be adjusted in a fair and equitable
manner as determined by the Board, in its discretion. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, any fractional share resulting from an adjustment pursuant to this
Section 4.2 shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number, and in no event
may the exercise price of any Option be decreased to an amount less than the par
value, if any, of the stock subject to the Option. The adjustments determined by
the Board pursuant to this Section 4.2 shall be final, binding and conclusive.
5. ELIGIBILITY AND OPTION LIMITATIONS.
5.1 PERSONS ELIGIBLE FOR OPTIONS. Options may be granted only to
Employees, Consultants, and Directors. For purposes of the foregoing sentence,
"Employees," "Consultants" and "Directors" shall include prospective Employees,
prospective Consultants and prospective Directors to whom Options are granted in
connection with written offers of an employment or other service relationships
with the Participating Company Group. Eligible persons may be granted more than
one (1) Option.
6
173
5.2 OPTION GRANT RESTRICTIONS. Any person who is not an Employee
on the effective date of the grant of an Option to such person may be granted
only a Nonstatutory Stock Option. An Incentive Stock Option granted to a
prospective Employee upon the condition that such person become an Employee
shall be deemed granted effective on the date such person commences Service with
a Participating Company, with an exercise price determined as of such date in
accordance with Section 6.1.
5.3 FAIR MARKET VALUE LIMITATION. To the extent that options
designated as Incentive Stock Options (granted under all stock option plans of
the Participating Company Group, including the Plan) become exercisable by an
Optionee for the first time during any calendar year for stock having a Fair
Market Value greater than One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000), the portions
of such options which exceed such amount shall be treated as Nonstatutory Stock
Options. For purposes of this Section 5.3, options designated as Incentive Stock
Options shall be taken into account in the order in which they were granted, and
the Fair Market Value of stock shall be determined as of the time the option
with respect to such stock is granted. If the Code is amended to provide for a
different limitation from that set forth in this Section 5.3, such different
limitation shall be deemed incorporated herein effective as of the date and with
respect to such Options as required or permitted by such amendment to the Code.
If an Option is treated as an Incentive Stock Option in part and as a
Nonstatutory Stock Option in part by reason of the limitation set forth in this
Section 5.3, the Optionee may designate which portion of such Option the
Optionee is exercising. In the absence of such designation, the Optionee shall
be deemed to have exercised the Incentive Stock Option portion of the Option
first. Separate certificates representing each such portion shall be issued upon
the exercise of the Option.
6. TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF OPTIONS.
Options shall be evidenced by Option Agreements specifying the number of
shares of Stock covered thereby, in such form as the Board shall from time to
time establish. No Option or purported Option shall be a valid and binding
obligation of the Company unless evidenced by a fully executed Option Agreement.
Option Agreements may incorporate all or any of the terms of the Plan by
reference and shall comply with and be subject to the following terms and
conditions:
6.1 EXERCISE PRICE. The exercise price for each Option shall be
established in the discretion of the Board; provided, however, that (a) the
exercise price per share for an Incentive Stock Option shall be not less than
the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the effective date of grant of the
Option, (b) the exercise price per share for a Nonstatutory Stock Option shall
be not less than eighty-five percent (85%) of the Fair Market Value of a share
of Stock on the effective date of grant of the Option, and (c) no Option granted
to a Ten Percent Owner Optionee shall have an exercise price per share less than
one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on
the effective date of grant of the Option. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an
Option (whether an Incentive Stock Option or a Nonstatutory Stock Option) may be
granted with an exercise price lower than the minimum exercise price set
7
174
forth above if such Option is granted pursuant to an assumption or substitution
for another option in a manner qualifying under the provisions of Section 424(a)
of the Code.
6.2 EXERCISE PERIOD. Options shall be exercisable at such time
or times, or upon such event or events, and subject to such terms, conditions,
performance criteria, and restrictions as shall be determined by the Board and
set forth in the Option Agreement evidencing such Option; provided, however,
that (a) no Option shall be exercisable after the expiration of ten (10) years
after the effective date of grant of such Option, (b) no Incentive Stock Option
granted to a Ten Percent Owner Optionee shall be exercisable after the
expiration of five (5) years after the effective date of grant of such Option,
(c) no Option granted to a prospective Employee, prospective Consultant or
prospective Director may become exercisable prior to the date on which such
person commences Service with a Participating Company, and (d) with the
exception of an Option granted to an officer, Director or Consultant, no Option
shall become exercisable at a rate less than twenty percent (20%) per year over
a period of five (5) years from the effective date of grant of such Option,
subject to the Optionee's continued Service. Subject to the foregoing, unless
otherwise specified by the Board in the grant of an Option, any Option granted
hereunder shall have a term of ten (10) years from the effective date of grant
of the Option.
6.3 PAYMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE.
(a) FORMS OF CONSIDERATION AUTHORIZED. Except as
otherwise provided below, payment of the exercise price for the number of shares
of Stock being purchased pursuant to any Option shall be made (i) in cash, by
check or cash equivalent, (ii) by tender to the Company, or attestation to the
ownership, of shares of Stock owned by the Optionee having a Fair Market Value
(as determined by the Company without regard to any restrictions on
transferability applicable to such stock by reason of federal or state
securities laws or agreements with an underwriter for the Company) not less than
the exercise price, (iii) by the assignment of the proceeds of a sale or loan
with respect to some or all of the shares being acquired upon the exercise of
the Option (including, without limitation, through an exercise complying with
the provisions of Regulation T as promulgated from time to time by the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System) (a "CASHLESS EXERCISE"), (iv) by the
Optionee's promissory note in a form approved by the Company, (v) by such other
consideration as may be approved by the Board from time to time to the extent
permitted by applicable law, or (vi) by any combination thereof. The Board may
at any time or from time to time, by adoption of or by amendment to the standard
forms of Option Agreement described in Section 7, or by other means, grant
Options which do not permit all of the foregoing forms of consideration to be
used in payment of the exercise price or which otherwise restrict one or more
forms of consideration.
(b) LIMITATIONS ON FORMS OF CONSIDERATION.
(i) TENDER OF STOCK. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, an Option may not be exercised by tender to the Company, or
attestation to the ownership, of shares of Stock to the extent such tender or
attestation would constitute a violation of the provisions of any law,
regulation or agreement restricting the redemption of the Company's stock.
Unless
8
175
otherwise provided by the Board, an Option may not be exercised by tender
to the Company, or attestation to the ownership, of shares of Stock unless such
shares either have been owned by the Optionee for more than six (6) months or
were not acquired, directly or indirectly, from the Company.
(ii) CASHLESS EXERCISE. The Company reserves, at
any and all times, the right, in the Company's sole and absolute discretion, to
establish, decline to approve or terminate any program or procedures for the
exercise of Options by means of a Cashless Exercise.
(iii) PAYMENT BY PROMISSORY NOTE. No promissory
note shall be permitted if the exercise of an Option using a promissory note
would be a violation of any law. Any permitted promissory note shall be on such
terms as the Board shall determine at the time the Option is granted. The Board
shall have the authority to permit or require the Optionee to secure any
promissory note used to exercise an Option with the shares of Stock acquired
upon the exercise of the Option or with other collateral acceptable to the
Company. Unless otherwise provided by the Board, if the Company at any time is
subject to the regulations promulgated by the Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System or any other governmental entity affecting the extension of
credit in connection with the Company's securities, any promissory note shall
comply with such applicable regulations, and the Optionee shall pay the unpaid
principal and accrued interest, if any, to the extent necessary to comply with
such applicable regulations.
6.4 TAX WITHHOLDING. The Company shall have the right, but not
the obligation, to deduct from the shares of Stock issuable upon the exercise of
an Option, or to accept from the Optionee the tender of, a number of whole
shares of Stock having a Fair Market Value, as determined by the Company, equal
to all or any part of the federal, state, local and foreign taxes, if any,
required by law to be withheld by the Participating Company Group with respect
to such Option or the shares acquired upon the exercise thereof. Alternatively
or in addition, in its discretion, the Company shall have the right to require
the Optionee, through payroll withholding, cash payment or otherwise, including
by means of a Cashless Exercise, to make adequate provision for any such tax
withholding obligations of the Participating Company Group arising in connection
with the Option or the shares acquired upon the exercise thereof. The Company
shall have no obligation to deliver shares of Stock or to release shares of
Stock from an escrow established pursuant to the Option Agreement until the
Participating Company Group's tax withholding obligations have been satisfied by
the Optionee.
6.5 REPURCHASE RIGHTS. Shares issued under the Plan may be
subject to a right of first refusal, one or more repurchase options, or other
conditions and restrictions as determined by the Board in its discretion at the
time the Option is granted. The Company shall have the right to assign at any
time any repurchase right it may have, whether or not such right is then
exercisable, to one or more persons as may be selected by the Company. Upon
request by the Company, each Optionee shall execute any agreement evidencing
such transfer restrictions prior to the receipt of shares of Stock hereunder and
shall promptly present to the Company any and all certificates representing
shares of Stock acquired hereunder for the placement on such certificates of
appropriate legends evidencing any such transfer restrictions.
9
176
6.6 EFFECT OF TERMINATION OF SERVICE.
(a) OPTION EXERCISABILITY. Subject to earlier termination of the
Option as otherwise provided herein, an Option shall be exercisable after an
Optionee's termination of Service as follows:
(i) DISABILITY. If the Optionee's Service with the
Participating Company Group is terminated because of the Disability of the
Optionee, the Option, to the extent unexercised and exercisable on the date on
which the Optionee's Service terminated, may be exercised by the Optionee (or
the Optionee's guardian or legal representative) at any time prior to the
expiration of six (6) months (or such longer period of time as determined by the
Board, in its discretion) after the date on which the Optionee's Service
terminated, but in any event no later than the date of expiration of the
Option's term as set forth in the Option Agreement evidencing such Option (the
"OPTION EXPIRATION DATE").
(ii) DEATH. If the Optionee's Service with the
Participating Company Group is terminated because of the death of the Optionee,
the Option, to the extent unexercised and exercisable on the date on which the
Optionee's Service terminated, may be exercised by the Optionee's legal
representative or other person who acquired the right to exercise the Option by
reason of the Optionee's death at any time prior to the expiration of six (6)
months (or such longer period of time as determined by the Board, in its
discretion) after the date on which the Optionee's Service terminated, but in
any event no later than the Option Expiration Date. The Optionee's Service shall
be deemed to have terminated on account of death if the Optionee dies within
thirty (30) days (or such longer period of time as determined by the Board, in
its discretion) after the Optionee's termination of Service.
(iii) OTHER TERMINATION OF SERVICE. If the Optionee's
Service with the Participating Company Group terminates for any reason, except
Disability or death, the Option, to the extent unexercised and exercisable by
the Optionee on the date on which the Optionee's Service terminated, may be
exercised by the Optionee within ninety (90) days (or such longer period of time
as determined by the Board, in its discretion) after the date on which the
Optionee's Service terminated, but in any event no later than the Option
Expiration Date.
(b) EXTENSION IF EXERCISE PREVENTED BY LAW. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if the exercise of an Option within the applicable time periods set
forth in Section 6.6(a) is prevented by the provisions of Section 11 below, the
Option shall remain exercisable until thirty (30) days (or such longer period of
time as determined by the Board, in its discretion) after the date the Optionee
is notified by the Company that the Option is exercisable, but in any event no
later than the Option Expiration Date.
(c) EXTENSION IF OPTIONEE SUBJECT TO SECTION 16(b).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a sale within the applicable time periods set
forth in Section 6.6(a) of shares acquired upon the exercise of the Option would
subject the Optionee to suit under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, the Option
shall remain exercisable until the earliest to occur of (i) the tenth
10
177
(10th) day following the date on which a sale of such shares by the Optionee
would no longer be subject to such suit, (ii) the one hundred and ninetieth
(190th) day after the Optionee's termination of Service, or (iii) the Option
Expiration Date.
7. STANDARD FORMS OF OPTION AGREEMENT.
7.1 OPTION AGREEMENT. Unless otherwise provided by the Board at
the time the Option is granted, an Option shall comply with and be subject to
the terms and conditions set forth in the form of Option Agreement adopted by
the Board concurrently with its adoption of the Plan and as amended from time to
time.
7.2 AUTHORITY TO VARY TERMS. The Board shall have the authority
from time to time to vary the terms of any of the standard forms of Option
Agreement described in this Section 7 either in connection with the grant or
amendment of an individual Option or in connection with the authorization of a
new standard form or forms; provided, however, that the terms and conditions of
any such new, revised or amended standard form or forms of Option Agreement are
not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan.
8. CHANGE IN CONTROL.
8.1 DEFINITIONS.
(a) An "OWNERSHIP CHANGE EVENT" shall be deemed to have
occurred if any of the following occurs with respect to the Company: (i) the
direct or indirect sale or exchange in a single or series of related
transactions by the shareholders of the Company of more than fifty percent (50%)
of the voting stock of the Company; (ii) a merger or consolidation in which the
Company is a party; (iii) the sale, exchange, or transfer of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Company; or (iv) a liquidation or
dissolution of the Company.
(b) A "CHANGE IN CONTROL" shall mean an Ownership Change
Event or a series of related Ownership Change Events (collectively, a
"TRANSACTION") wherein the shareholders of the Company immediately before the
Transaction do not retain immediately after the Transaction, in substantially
the same proportions as their ownership of shares of the Company's voting stock
immediately before the Transaction, direct or indirect beneficial ownership of
more than fifty percent (50%) of the total combined voting power of the
outstanding voting stock of the Company or the corporation or corporations to
which the assets of the Company were transferred (the "TRANSFEREE
CORPORATION(S)"), as the case may be. For purposes of the preceding sentence,
indirect beneficial ownership shall include, without limitation, an interest
resulting from ownership of the voting stock of one or more corporations which,
as a result of the Transaction, own the Company or the Transferee
Corporation(s), as the case may be, either directly or through one or more
subsidiary corporations. The Board shall have the right to determine whether
multiple sales or exchanges of the voting stock of the Company or multiple
Ownership Change Events are related, and its determination shall be final,
binding and conclusive.
11
178
8.2 EFFECT OF CHANGE IN CONTROL ON OPTIONS. In the event of a
Change in Control, the surviving, continuing, successor, or purchasing
corporation or parent corporation thereof, as the case may be (the "ACQUIRING
CORPORATION"), may either assume the Company's rights and obligations under
outstanding Options or substitute for outstanding Options substantially
equivalent options for the Acquiring Corporation's stock. For purposes of this
Section 8.2, an Option shall be deemed assumed if, following the Change in
Control, the Option confers the right to purchase in accordance with its terms
and conditions, for each share of Stock subject to the Option immediately prior
to the Change in Control, the consideration (whether stock, cash or other
securities or property) to which a holder of a share of Stock on the effective
date of the Change in Control was entitled. In the event the Acquiring
Corporation elects not to assume or substitute for outstanding Options in
connection with a Change in Control, any unexercisable or unvested portions of
outstanding Options held by Optionees whose Service has not terminated prior to
such date shall become immediately exercisable and vested in full (and any
unvested share repurchase option shall lapse) as of the date ten (10) days prior
to the date of the Change in Control. The accelerated exercise or vesting of any
Option that was permissible solely by reason of this Section 8.2 shall be
conditioned upon the consummation of the Change in Control. Any Options which
are neither assumed or substituted for by the Acquiring Corporation in
connection with the Change in Control nor exercised as of the date of the Change
in Control shall terminate and cease to be outstanding effective as of the date
of the Change in Control. Notwithstanding the foregoing, shares acquired upon
exercise of an Option prior to the Change in Control and any consideration
received pursuant to the Change in Control with respect to such shares shall
continue to be subject to all applicable provisions of the Option Agreement
evidencing such Option except as otherwise provided in such Option Agreement.
Furthermore, notwithstanding the foregoing, if the corporation the stock of
which is subject to the outstanding Options immediately prior to an Ownership
Change Event described in Section 8.1(a)(i) constituting a Change in Control is
the surviving or continuing corporation and immediately after such Ownership
Change Event less than fifty percent (50%) of the total combined voting power of
its voting stock is held by another corporation or by other corporations that
are members of an affiliated group within the meaning of Section 1504(a) of the
Code without regard to the provisions of Section 1504(b) of the Code, the
outstanding Options shall not terminate unless the Board otherwise provides in
its discretion.
9. PROVISION OF INFORMATION.
At least annually, copies of the Company's balance sheet and
income statement for the just completed fiscal year shall be made available to
each Optionee and purchaser of shares of Stock upon the exercise of an Option.
The Company shall not be required to provide such information to key employees
whose duties in connection with the Company assure them access to equivalent
information.
12
179
10. NONTRANSFERABILITY OF OPTIONS.
During the lifetime of the Optionee, an Option shall be
exercisable only by the Optionee or the Optionee's guardian or legal
representative. No Option shall be assignable or transferable by the Optionee,
except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.
11. COMPLIANCE WITH SECURITIES LAW.
The grant of Options and the issuance of shares of Stock upon
exercise of Options shall be subject to compliance with all applicable
requirements of federal, state and foreign law with respect to such securities.
Options may not be exercised if the issuance of shares of Stock upon exercise
would constitute a violation of any applicable federal, state or foreign
securities laws or other law or regulations or the requirements of any stock
exchange or market system upon which the Stock may then be listed. In addition,
no Option may be exercised unless (a) a registration statement under the
Securities Act shall at the time of exercise of the Option be in effect with
respect to the shares issuable upon exercise of the Option or (b) in the opinion
of legal counsel to the Company, the shares issuable upon exercise of the Option
may be issued in accordance with the terms of an applicable exemption from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act. The inability of the Company to
obtain from any regulatory body having jurisdiction the authority, if any,
deemed by the Company's legal counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and
sale of any shares hereunder shall relieve the Company of any liability in
respect of the failure to issue or sell such shares as to which such requisite
authority shall not have been obtained. As a condition to the exercise of any
Option, the Company may require the Optionee to satisfy any qualifications that
may be necessary or appropriate, to evidence compliance with any applicable law
or regulation and to make any representation or warranty with respect thereto as
may be requested by the Company.
12. INDEMNIFICATION.
In addition to such other rights of indemnification as they may
have as members of the Board or officers or employees of the Participating
Company Group, members of the Board and any officers or employees of the
Participating Company Group to whom authority to act for the Board or the
Company is delegated shall be indemnified by the Company against all reasonable
expenses, including attorneys' fees, actually and necessarily incurred in
connection with the defense of any action, suit or proceeding, or in connection
with any appeal therein, to which they or any of them may be a party by reason
of any action taken or failure to act under or in connection with the Plan, or
any right granted hereunder, and against all amounts paid by them in settlement
thereof (provided such settlement is approved by independent legal counsel
selected by the Company) or paid by them in satisfaction of a judgment in any
such action, suit or proceeding, except in relation to matters as to which it
shall be adjudged in such action, suit or proceeding that such person is liable
for gross negligence, bad faith or intentional misconduct in duties; provided,
however, that within sixty (60) days after the institution of such action, suit
or proceeding, such person shall offer to the Company, in writing, the
opportunity at its own expense to handle and defend the same.
13
180
13. TERMINATION OR AMENDMENT OF PLAN.
The Board may terminate or amend the Plan at any time. However,
subject to changes in applicable law, regulations or rules that would permit
otherwise, without the approval of the Company's shareholders, there shall be
(a) no increase in the maximum aggregate number of shares of Stock that may be
issued under the Plan (except by operation of the provisions of Section 4.2),
(b) no change in the class of persons eligible to receive Incentive Stock
Options, and (c) no other amendment of the Plan that would require approval of
the Company's shareholders under any applicable law, regulation or rule. In any
event, no termination or amendment of the Plan may adversely affect any then
outstanding Option or any unexercised portion thereof, without the consent of
the Optionee, unless such termination or amendment is required to enable an
Option designated as an Incentive Stock Option to qualify as an Incentive Stock
Option or is necessary to comply with any applicable law, regulation or rule.
14. SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL.
The Plan or any increase in the maximum aggregate number of
shares of Stock issuable thereunder as provided in Section 4.1 (the "AUTHORIZED
SHARES") shall be approved by the shareholders of the Company within twelve (12)
months of the date of adoption thereof by the Board. Options granted prior to
shareholder approval of the Plan or in excess of the Authorized Shares
previously approved by the shareholders shall become exercisable no earlier than
the date of shareholder approval of the Plan or such increase in the Authorized
Shares, as the case may be.
14
181
STANDARD FORM OF
TERMS OF STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT
182
DATAROVER MOBILE SYSTEMS, INC.
TERMS OF STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT
The Company has granted to the Optionee, pursuant to a Stock Option
Grant Agreement (the "GRANT AGREEMENT") and the Company's 1998 Stock Option Plan
(the "PLAN"), an Option to purchase certain shares of Stock, upon the terms and
conditions set forth in this Agreement. The Option shall in all respects be
subject to the terms and conditions of the Grant Agreement and the Plan, the
provisions of which are incorporated herein by reference.
1. DEFINITIONS AND CONSTRUCTION.
1.1 DEFINITIONS. Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized
terms shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Grant Agreement or
the Plan.
1.2 CONSTRUCTION. Captions and titles contained herein are for
convenience only and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of any
provision of this Agreement. Except when otherwise indicated by the context, the
singular shall include the plural and the plural shall include the singular. Use
of the term "or" is not intended to be exclusive, unless the context clearly
requires otherwise.
2. TAX CONSEQUENCES.
2.1 TAX STATUS OF OPTION. As indicated in the Grant Agreement,
this Option is intended to be either an Incentive Stock Option ("ISO") within
the meaning of Section 422(b) of the Code or a nonstatutory stock option, which
is not intended to qualify as an ISO. The Optionee should consult with the
Optionee's own tax advisor regarding the tax effects of this Option (and any
requirements necessary to obtain favorable income tax treatment under Section
422 of the Code, including, but not limited to, holding period requirements).
2.2 ISO FAIR MARKET VALUE LIMITATION. If this Option is
designated an ISO in the Grant Agreement, to the extent that the Option
(together with all Incentive Stock Options granted to the Optionee under all
stock option plans of the Participating Company Group, including the Plan)
becomes exercisable for the first time during any calendar year for shares
having a Fair Market Value greater than One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000),
the portion of such options which exceeds such amount will be treated as
Nonstatutory Stock Options. For purposes of this Section 2.2, options designated
as Incentive Stock Options are taken into account in the order in which they
were granted, and the Fair Market Value of stock is determined as of the time
the option with respect to such stock is granted. If the Code is amended to
provide for a different limitation from that set forth in this Section 2.2, such
different limitation shall be deemed incorporated herein effective as of the
date required or permitted by such amendment to the Code. If the Option is
treated as an Incentive Stock Option in part and as a Nonstatutory Stock Option
in part by reason of the limitation set forth in this Section 2.2, the Optionee
may designate which portion of such Option the Optionee is exercising. In the
absence of such designation, the Optionee shall be deemed to have exercised the
Incentive Stock Option portion of the Option first. Separate certificates
representing each such portion shall be issued upon the exercise of the Option.
(NOTE TO OPTIONEE: If the aggregate Exercise Price of the Option (that is, the
Exercise Price multiplied by the Number of Option Shares) plus the aggregate
1
183
exercise price of any other Incentive Stock Options you hold (whether granted
pursuant to the Plan or any other stock option plan of the Participating Company
Group) is greater than $100,000, you should contact the Chief Financial Officer
of the Company to ascertain whether the entire Option qualifies as an Incentive
Stock Option.)
2.3 ELECTION UNDER SECTION 83(b) OF THE CODE. If this Option is
designated in the Grant Agreement as Immediately Exercisable and the Optionee
exercises this Option prior to vesting (or option is otherwise nontransferable
and subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture), the Optionee understands that
the Optionee should consult with the Optionee's tax advisor regarding the
advisability of filing with the Internal Revenue Service an election under
Section 83(b) of the Code. This election must be filed no later than thirty (30)
days after the date on which the Optionee exercises the Option. Shares acquired
upon exercise of the Option are nontransferable and subject to a substantial
risk of forfeiture if, for example, (a) they are unvested and are subject to a
right of the Company to repurchase such shares at the Optionee's original
purchase price if the Optionee's Service terminates, (b) the Optionee is an
Insider and, under certain circumstances, exercises the Option within six (6)
months of the Date of Option Grant (if a class of equity security of the Company
is registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act), or (c) the Optionee is
subject to a restriction on transfer to comply with "Pooling-of-Interests
Accounting" rules. Failure to file an election under Section 83(b), if
appropriate, may result in adverse tax consequences to the Optionee. The
Optionee acknowledges that the Optionee has been advised to consult with a tax
advisor prior to the exercise of the Option regarding the tax consequences to
the Optionee of the exercise of the Option. AN ELECTION UNDER SECTION 83(b) MUST
BE FILED WITHIN 30 DAYS AFTER THE DATE ON WHICH THE OPTIONEE EXERCISES OPTIONS.
THIS TIME PERIOD CANNOT BE EXTENDED. THE OPTIONEE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT TIMELY
FILING OF A SECTION 83(b) ELECTION IS THE OPTIONEE'S SOLE RESPONSIBILITY, EVEN
IF THE OPTIONEE REQUESTS THE COMPANY OR ITS REPRESENTATIVE TO FILE SUCH ELECTION
ON HIS OR HER BEHALF.
3. EXERCISE OF THE OPTION.
3.1 RIGHT TO EXERCISE. Except as otherwise provided herein, the
Option shall be exercisable on and after the Date of Option Grant and prior to
the termination of the Option (as provided in Section 5) in an amount not to
exceed the Number of Option Shares less the number of shares previously acquired
upon exercise of the Option, subject to the Optionee's agreement that any shares
purchased upon exercise are subject to the Company's Unvested Share Repurchase
Option and Right of First Refusal (as such terms are defined herein).
3.2 METHOD OF EXERCISE. Exercise of the Option shall be by
written notice to the Company which must state the election to exercise the
Option, the number of whole shares of Stock for which the Option is being
exercised and such other representations and agreements as to the Optionee's
investment intent with respect to such shares as may be required pursuant to the
provisions of this Agreement. The written notice must be signed by the Optionee
and must be delivered in person, by certified or registered mail, return receipt
requested, by confirmed facsimile transmission, or by such other means as the
Company may permit, to the Chief Financial Officer of the Company, or other
authorized representative of the Participating Company Group, prior to the
termination of the Option as set forth in Section 5, accompanied by
2
184
(i) full payment of the aggregate Exercise Price for the number of shares of
Stock being purchased and (ii) an executed copy, if required herein, of the then
current form of escrow agreement referenced below. The Option shall be deemed to
be exercised upon receipt by the Company of such written notice, the aggregate
Exercise Price, and, if required by the Company, such executed agreement.
3.3 PAYMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE.
(a) FORMS OF CONSIDERATION AUTHORIZED. Except as
otherwise provided below, payment of the aggregate Exercise Price for the number
of shares of Stock for which the Option is being exercised shall be made (i) in
cash, by check, or cash equivalent, (ii) by tender to the Company, or
attestation to the ownership, of whole shares of Stock owned by the Optionee
having a Fair Market Value (as determined by the Company without regard to any
restrictions on transferability applicable to such stock by reason of federal or
state securities laws or agreements with an underwriter for the Company) not
less than the aggregate Exercise Price, (iii) by means of a Cashless Exercise,
as defined in Section 3.3(b), or (iv) by any combination of the foregoing.
(b) LIMITATIONS ON FORMS OF CONSIDERATION.
(i) TENDER OF STOCK. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Option may not be exercised by tender to the Company, or
attestation to the ownership, of shares of Stock to the extent such tender, or
attestation to the ownership, of Stock would constitute a violation of the
provisions of any law, regulation or agreement restricting the redemption of the
Company's stock. The Option may not be exercised by tender to the Company, or
attestation to the ownership, of shares of Stock unless such shares either have
been owned by the Optionee for more than six (6) months or were not acquired,
directly or indirectly, from the Company.
(ii) CASHLESS EXERCISE. A "CASHLESS EXERCISE"
means the assignment in a form acceptable to the Company of the proceeds of a
sale or loan with respect to some or all of the shares of Stock acquired upon
the exercise of the Option pursuant to a program or procedure approved by the
Company (including, without limitation, through an exercise complying with the
provisions of Regulation T as promulgated from time to time by the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System). The Company reserves, at any and all
times, the right, in the Company's sole and absolute discretion, to decline to
approve or terminate any such program or procedure. Generally, and without
limiting the Company's absolute discretion, a "cashless exercise" will only be
permitted at such times in which the shares underlying this Option are publicly
traded.
3.4 TAX WITHHOLDING. At the time the Option is exercised, in
whole or in part, or at any time thereafter as requested by the Company, the
Optionee hereby authorizes withholding from payroll and any other amounts
payable to the Optionee, and otherwise agrees to make adequate provision for
(including by means of a Cashless Exercise to the extent permitted by the
Company), any sums required to satisfy the federal, state, local and foreign tax
withholding obligations of the Participating Company Group, if any, which arise
in connection with the Option, including, without limitation, obligations
arising upon (i) the exercise, in whole or in part, of the Option, (ii) the
transfer, in whole or in part, of any shares acquired upon
3
185
exercise of the Option, (iii) the operation of any law or regulation providing
for the imputation of interest, or (iv) the lapsing of any restriction with
respect to any shares acquired upon exercise of the Option. The Optionee is
cautioned that the Option is not exercisable unless the tax withholding
obligations of the Participating Company Group are satisfied. Accordingly, the
Optionee may not be able to exercise the Option when desired even though the
Option is vested, and the Company shall have no obligation to issue a
certificate for such shares or release such shares from any escrow provided for
herein.
3.5 CERTIFICATE REGISTRATION. Except in the event the Exercise
Price is paid by means of a Cashless Exercise, the certificate for the shares as
to which the Option is exercised shall be registered in the name of the
Optionee, or, if applicable, the Optionee's heirs.
3.6 RESTRICTIONS ON GRANT OF THE OPTION AND ISSUANCE OF SHARES.
The grant of the Option and the issuance of shares of Stock upon exercise of the
Option shall be subject to compliance with all applicable requirements of
federal, state or foreign law with respect to such securities. The Option may
not be exercised if the issuance of shares of Stock upon exercise would
constitute a violation of any applicable federal, state or foreign securities
laws or other law or regulations or the requirements of any stock exchange or
market system upon which the Stock may then be listed. In addition, the Option
may not be exercised unless (i) a registration statement under the Securities
Act shall at the time of exercise of the Option be in effect with respect to the
shares issuable upon exercise of the Option or (ii) in the opinion of legal
counsel to the Company, the shares issuable upon exercise of the Option may be
issued in accordance with the terms of an applicable exemption from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act. THE OPTIONEE IS CAUTIONED THAT
THE OPTION MAY NOT BE EXERCISED UNLESS THE FOREGOING CONDITIONS ARE SATISFIED.
ACCORDINGLY, THE OPTIONEE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO EXERCISE THE OPTION WHEN DESIRED
EVEN THOUGH THE OPTION IS VESTED. The inability of the Company to obtain from
any regulatory body having jurisdiction the authority, if any, deemed by the
Company's legal counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any
shares subject to the Option shall relieve the Company of any liability in
respect of the failure to issue or sell such shares as to which such requisite
authority shall not have been obtained. As a condition to the exercise of the
Option, the Company may require the Optionee to satisfy any qualifications that
may be necessary or appropriate, to evidence compliance with any applicable law
or regulation and to make any representation or warranty with respect thereto as
may be requested by the Company.
3.7 FRACTIONAL SHARES. The Company shall not be required to
issue fractional shares upon the exercise of the Option.
4. NONTRANSFERABILITY OF THE OPTION.
The Option may be exercised during the lifetime of the Optionee
only by the Optionee or the Optionee's guardian or legal representative and may
not be assigned or transferred in any manner except by will or by the laws of
descent and distribution. Following the death of the Optionee, the Option, to
the extent provided in Section 6, may be exercised by the Optionee's legal
representative or by any person empowered to do so under the deceased Optionee's
will or under the then applicable laws of descent and distribution.

186
5. TERMINATION OF THE OPTION.
The Option shall terminate and may no longer be exercised on the
first to occur of (a) the Option Expiration Date, (b) the last date for
exercising the Option following termination of the Optionee's Service as
described in Section 6, or (c) pursuant to a Change in Control, to the extent
provided in the Plan.
6. EFFECT OF TERMINATION OF SERVICE.
6.1 OPTION EXERCISABILITY.
(a) DISABILITY. If the Optionee's Service with the
Participating Company Group is terminated because of the Disability of the
Optionee, the Option, to the extent unexercised and exercisable on the date on
which the Optionee's Service terminated, may be exercised by the Optionee (or
the Optionee's guardian or legal representative) at any time prior to the
expiration of twelve (12) months after the date on which the Optionee's Service
terminated, but in any event no later than the Option Expiration Date. (NOTE: If
the Option is exercised more than three (3) months after the date on which the
Optionee's Service as an Employee terminated as a result of a Disability other
than a permanent and total disability as defined in Section 22(e)(3) of the
Code, the Option will be treated as a Nonstatutory Stock Option and not as an
Incentive Stock Option to the extent required by Section 422 of the Code.)
(b) DEATH. If the Optionee's Service with the
Participating Company Group is terminated because of the death of the Optionee,
the Option, to the extent unexercised and exercisable on the date on which the
Optionee's Service terminated, may be exercised by the Optionee's legal
representative or other person who acquired the right to exercise the Option by
reason of the Optionee's death at any time prior to the expiration of twelve
(12) months after the date on which the Optionee's Service terminated, but in
any event no later than the Option Expiration Date. The Optionee's Service shall
be deemed to have terminated on account of death if the Optionee dies within one
(1) month after the Optionee's termination of Service.
(c) OTHER TERMINATION OF SERVICE. If the Optionee's
Service with the Participating Company Group terminates for any reason, except
Disability or death, the Option, to the extent unexercised and exercisable by
the Optionee on the date on which the Optionee's Service terminated, may be
exercised by the Optionee within ninety (90) days (or such other longer period
of time as determined by the Board, in its sole discretion) after the date on
which the Optionee's Service terminated, but in any event no later than the
Option Expiration Date.
6.2 ADDITIONAL LIMITATIONS ON OPTION EXERCISE. Notwithstanding
the provisions of Section 6.1, the Option may not be exercised after the
Optionee's termination of Service to the extent that the shares to be acquired
upon exercise of the Option would be subject to the Unvested Share Repurchase
Option.
6.3 EXTENSION IF EXERCISE PREVENTED BY LAW. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if the exercise of the Option within the applicable time periods set
forth in Section 6.1 is prevented by the provisions of Section 3.6, the Option
shall remain exercisable until one (1) month after the date the Optionee is
notified by the Company that the Option is exercisable, but
5
187
in any event no later than the Option Expiration Date. The Company makes no
representation as to the tax consequences of any such delayed exercise. The
Optionee should consult with the Optionee's own tax advisor as to the tax
consequences of any such delayed exercise.
6.4 EXTENSION IF OPTIONEE SUBJECT TO SECTION 16(b).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a sale within the applicable time periods set
forth in Section 6.1 of shares acquired upon the exercise of the Option would
subject the Optionee to suit under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, the Option
shall remain exercisable until the earliest to occur of (i) the tenth (10th) day
following the date on which a sale of such shares by the Optionee would no
longer be subject to such suit, (ii) the one hundred and ninetieth (190th) day
after the Optionee's termination of Service, or (iii) the Option Expiration
Date. The Company makes no representation as to the tax consequences of any such
delayed exercise. The Optionee should consult with the Optionee's own tax
advisor as to the tax consequences of any such delayed exercise.
7. RIGHTS AS A STOCKHOLDER, EMPLOYEE OR CONSULTANT.
The Optionee shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect
to any shares covered by the Option until the date of the issuance of a
certificate for the shares for which the Option has been exercised (as evidenced
by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized
transfer agent of the Company). No adjustment shall be made for dividends,
distributions or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date
such certificate is issued, except as provided in Section 4.2 of the Plan. If
the Optionee is an Employee, the Optionee understands and acknowledges that,
except as otherwise provided in a separate, written employment agreement between
a Participating Company and the Optionee, the Optionee's employment is "at will"
and is for no specified term. Nothing in this Agreement shall confer upon the
Optionee any right to continue in the Service of a Participating Company or
interfere in any way with any right of the Participating Company Group to
terminate the Optionee's Service as an Employee or Consultant, as the case may
be, at any time.
8. UNVESTED SHARE REPURCHASE OPTION.
8.1 GRANT OF UNVESTED SHARE REPURCHASE OPTION. In the event this
Option is designated as Immediately Exercisable in the Grant Agreement and
subsequently Optionee's Service with the Participating Company Group is
terminated for any reason or no reason, with or without cause, or, if the
Optionee, the Optionee's legal representative, or other holder of shares
acquired upon exercise of the Option attempts to sell, exchange, transfer,
pledge, or otherwise dispose of (other than pursuant to an Ownership Change
Event) any shares acquired upon exercise of the Option which exceed the Vested
Shares as defined in Section 8.2 below (the "UNVESTED SHARES"), the Company
shall have the right to repurchase the Unvested Shares under the terms and
subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 8 (the "UNVESTED SHARE
REPURCHASE OPTION").
8.2 VESTED SHARES AND UNVESTED SHARES DEFINED. The "VESTED
SHARES" shall mean, on any given date, a number of shares of Stock equal to the
Number of Option Shares multiplied by the Vested Ratio determined as of such
date and rounded down to the nearest whole share. On such given date, the
"UNVESTED SHARES" shall mean the number of shares of
6
188
Stock acquired upon exercise of the Option which exceed the Vested Shares
determined as of such date.
8.3 EXERCISE OF UNVESTED SHARE REPURCHASE OPTION. The Company
may exercise the Unvested Share Repurchase Option by written notice to the
Optionee within sixty (60) days after (a) termination of the Optionee's Service
(or exercise of the Option, if later) or (b) the Company has received notice of
the attempted disposition of Unvested Shares. If the Company fails to give
notice within such sixty (60) day period, the Unvested Share Repurchase Option
shall terminate unless the Company and the Optionee have extended the time for
the exercise of the Unvested Share Repurchase Option. The Unvested Share
Repurchase Option must be exercised, if at all, for all of the Unvested Shares,
except as the Company and the Optionee otherwise agree.
8.4 PAYMENT FOR SHARES AND RETURN OF SHARES TO COMPANY. The
purchase price per share being repurchased by the Company shall be an amount
equal to the Optionee's original cost per share, as adjusted pursuant to Section
4.2 of the Plan (the "REPURCHASE PRICE"). The Company shall pay the aggregate
Repurchase Price to the Optionee in cash within thirty (30) days after the date
of the written notice to the Optionee of the Company's exercise of the Unvested
Share Repurchase Option. For purposes of the foregoing, cancellation of any
purchase money indebtedness of the Optionee to any Participating Company for the
shares shall be treated as payment to the Optionee in cash to the extent of the
unpaid principal and any accrued interest canceled. The shares being repurchased
shall be delivered to the Company by the Optionee at the same time as the
delivery of the Repurchase Price to the Optionee.
8.5 ASSIGNMENT OF UNVESTED SHARE REPURCHASE OPTION. The Company
shall have the right to assign the Unvested Share Repurchase Option at any time,
whether or not such option is then exercisable, to one or more persons as may be
selected by the Company.
8.6 OWNERSHIP CHANGE EVENT. Upon the occurrence of an Ownership
Change Event, any and all new, substituted or additional securities or other
property to which the Optionee is entitled by reason of the Optionee's ownership
of Unvested Shares shall be immediately subject to the Unvested Share Repurchase
Option and included in the terms "Stock" and "Unvested Shares" for all purposes
of the Unvested Share Repurchase Option with the same force and effect as the
Unvested Shares immediately prior to the Ownership Change Event. While the
aggregate Repurchase Price shall remain the same after such Ownership Change
Event, the Repurchase Price per Unvested Share upon exercise of the Unvested
Share Repurchase Option following such Ownership Change Event shall be adjusted
as appropriate. For purposes of determining the Vested Ratio following an
Ownership Change Event, credited Service shall include all Service with any
corporation which is a Participating Company at the time the Service is
rendered, whether or not such corporation is a Participating Company both before
and after the Ownership Change Event.
9. RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL.
9.1 GRANT OF RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL. Except as provided in
Section 9.7 below, in the event the Optionee, the Optionee's legal
representative, or other holder of shares acquired upon exercise of the Option
proposes to sell, exchange, transfer, pledge, or otherwise
7
189
dispose of any Vested Shares (the "TRANSFER SHARES") to any person or entity,
including, without limitation, any stockholder of a Participating Company, the
Company shall have the right to repurchase the Transfer Shares under the terms
and subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 9 (the "RIGHT OF FIRST
REFUSAL"). This Right of First Refusal terminates in accordance with Section
9.9.
9.2 NOTICE OF PROPOSED TRANSFER. Prior to any proposed transfer
of the Transfer Shares, the Optionee shall deliver written notice (the "TRANSFER
NOTICE") to the Company describing fully the proposed transfer, including the
number of Transfer Shares, the name and address of the proposed transferee (the
"PROPOSED TRANSFEREE") and, if the transfer is voluntary, the proposed transfer
price, and containing such information necessary to show the bona fide nature of
the proposed transfer. In the event of a bona fide gift or involuntary transfer,
the proposed transfer price shall be deemed to be the Fair Market Value of the
Transfer Shares, as determined by the Board in good faith. If the Optionee
proposes to transfer any Transfer Shares to more than one Proposed Transferee,
the Optionee shall provide a separate Transfer Notice for the proposed transfer
to each Proposed Transferee. The Transfer Notice shall be signed by both the
Optionee and the Proposed Transferee and must constitute a binding commitment of
the Optionee and the Proposed Transferee for the transfer of the Transfer Shares
to the Proposed Transferee subject only to the Right of First Refusal.
9.3 BONA FIDE TRANSFER. If the Company determines that the
information provided by the Optionee in the Transfer Notice is insufficient to
establish the bona fide nature of a proposed voluntary transfer, the Company
shall give the Optionee written notice of the Optionee's failure to comply with
the procedure described in this Section 9, and the Optionee shall have no right
to transfer the Transfer Shares without first complying with the procedure
described in this Section 9. The Optionee shall not be permitted to transfer the
Transfer Shares if the proposed transfer is not bona fide.
9.4 EXERCISE OF RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL. If the Company
determines the proposed transfer to be bona fide, the Company shall have the
right to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Transfer Shares (except as
the Company and the Optionee otherwise agree) at the purchase price and on the
terms set forth in the Transfer Notice by delivery to the Optionee of a notice
of exercise of the Right of First Refusal within thirty (30) days after the date
the Transfer Notice is delivered to the Company. The Company's exercise or
failure to exercise the Right of First Refusal with respect to any proposed
transfer described in a Transfer Notice shall not affect the Company's right to
exercise the Right of First Refusal with respect to any proposed transfer
described in any other Transfer Notice, whether or not such other Transfer
Notice is issued by the Optionee or issued by a person other than the Optionee
with respect to a proposed transfer to the same Proposed Transferee. If the
Company exercises the Right of First Refusal, the Company and the Optionee shall
thereupon consummate the sale of the Transfer Shares to the Company on the terms
set forth in the Transfer Notice within sixty (60) days after the date the
Transfer Notice is delivered to the Company (unless a longer period is offered
by the Proposed Transferee); provided, however, that in the event the Transfer
Notice provides for the payment for the Transfer Shares other than in cash, the
Company shall have the option of paying for the Transfer Shares by the present
value cash equivalent of the consideration described in the Transfer Notice as
reasonably determined by the Company. For purposes of the foregoing,
cancellation of any
8
190
indebtedness of the Optionee to any Participating Company shall be treated as
payment to the Optionee in cash to the extent of the unpaid principal and any
accrued interest canceled.
9.5 FAILURE TO EXERCISE RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL. If the Company
fails to exercise the Right of First Refusal in full (or to such lesser extent
as the Company and the Optionee otherwise agree) within the period specified in
Section 9.4 above, the Optionee may conclude a transfer to the Proposed
Transferee of the Transfer Shares on the terms and conditions described in the
Transfer Notice, provided such transfer occurs not later than ninety (90) days
following delivery to the Company of the Transfer Notice. The Company shall have
the right to demand further assurances from the Optionee and the Proposed
Transferee (in a form satisfactory to the Company) that the transfer of the
Transfer Shares was actually carried out on the terms and conditions described
in the Transfer Notice. No Transfer Shares shall be transferred on the books of
the Company until the Company has received such assurances, if so demanded, and
has approved the proposed transfer as bona fide. Any proposed transfer on terms
and conditions different from those described in the Transfer Notice, as well as
any subsequent proposed transfer by the Optionee, shall again be subject to the
Right of First Refusal and shall require compliance by the Optionee with the
procedure described in this Section 9.
9.6 TRANSFEREES OF TRANSFER SHARES. All transferees of the
Transfer Shares or any interest therein, other than the Company, shall be
required as a condition of such transfer to agree in writing (in a form
satisfactory to the Company) that such transferee shall receive and hold such
Transfer Shares or interest therein subject to all of the terms and conditions
of this Option Agreement, including this Section 9 providing for the Right of
First Refusal with respect to any subsequent transfer. Any sale or transfer of
any shares acquired upon exercise of the Option shall be void unless the
provisions of this Section 9 are met.
9.7 TRANSFERS NOT SUBJECT TO RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL. The Right
of First Refusal shall not apply to any transfer or exchange of the shares
acquired upon exercise of the Option if such transfer or exchange is in
connection with an Ownership Change Event. If the consideration received
pursuant to such transfer or exchange consists of stock of a Participating
Company, such consideration shall remain subject to the Right of First Refusal
unless the provisions of Section 9.9 below result in a termination of the Right
of First Refusal.
9.8 ASSIGNMENT OF RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL. The Company shall have
the right to assign the Right of First Refusal at any time, whether or not there
has been an attempted transfer, to one or more persons as may be selected by the
Company.
9.9 EARLY TERMINATION OF RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL. The other
provisions of this Option Agreement notwithstanding, the Right of First Refusal
shall terminate and be of no further force and effect upon (a) the occurrence of
a Change in Control, unless the Acquiring Corporation assumes the Company's
rights and obligations under the Option or substitutes a substantially
equivalent option for the Acquiring Corporation's stock for the Option, or (b)
the existence of a public market for the class of shares subject to the Right of
First Refusal. A "PUBLIC MARKET" shall be deemed to exist if (i) such stock is
listed on a national securities exchange (as that term is used in the Exchange
Act) or (ii) such stock is traded on the
9
191
over-the-counter market and prices therefor are published daily on business days
in a recognized financial journal.
10. ESCROW.
10.1 ESTABLISHMENT OF ESCROW. To ensure that shares subject to
the Unvested Share Repurchase Option will be available for repurchase, the
Company may require the Optionee to deposit the certificate evidencing the
shares which the Optionee purchases upon exercise of the Option with an agent
designated by the Company under the terms and conditions of escrow and security
agreements approved by the Company. If the Company does not require such deposit
as a condition of exercise of the Option, the Company reserves the right at any
time to require the Optionee to so deposit the certificate in escrow. Upon the
occurrence of an Ownership Change Event or a change, as described in Section 9,
in the character or amount of any of the outstanding stock of the corporation
the stock of which is subject to the provisions of this Option Agreement, any
and all new, substituted or additional securities or other property to which the
Optionee is entitled by reason of the Optionee's ownership of shares of Stock
acquired upon exercise of the Option that remain, following such Ownership
Change Event or change described in Section 4.2 of the Plan, subject to the
Unvested Share Repurchase Option shall be immediately subject to the escrow to
the same extent as such shares of Stock immediately before such event. The
Company shall bear the expenses of the escrow.
10.2 DELIVERY OF SHARES TO OPTIONEE. As soon as practicable
after the expiration of the Unvested Share Repurchase Option, but not more
frequently than twice each calendar year, the escrow agent shall deliver to the
Optionee the shares and any other property no longer subject to such
restriction.
10.3 NOTICES AND PAYMENTS. In the event the shares and any other
property held in escrow are subject to the Company's exercise of the Unvested
Share Repurchase Option or the Right of First Refusal, the notices required to
be given to the Optionee shall be given to the escrow agent, and any payment
required to be given to the Optionee shall be given to the escrow agent. Within
thirty (30) days after payment by the Company, the escrow agent shall deliver
the shares and any other property which the Company has purchased to the Company
and shall deliver the payment received from the Company to the Optionee.
11. STOCK DISTRIBUTIONS SUBJECT TO THIS AGREEMENT.
If, from time to time, there is any stock dividend, stock split
or other change, as described in Section 4.2 of the Plan, in the character or
amount of any of the outstanding stock of the corporation the stock of which is
subject to the provisions of this Agreement, then in such event any and all new,
substituted or additional securities to which the Optionee is entitled by reason
of the Optionee's ownership of the shares acquired upon exercise of the Option
shall be immediately subject to the Unvested Share Repurchase Option and the
Right of First Refusal with the same force and effect as the shares subject to
the Unvested Share Repurchase Option and the Right of First Refusal immediately
before such event.
12. NOTICE OF SALES UPON DISQUALIFYING DISPOSITION.
10
192
The Optionee shall dispose of the shares acquired pursuant to the
Option only in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. In addition,
the Optionee shall promptly notify the Chief Financial Officer of the Company if
the Optionee disposes of any of the shares acquired pursuant to the Option
within one (1) year after the date of the Optionee exercises all or part of the
Option or within two (2) years after the Date of Grant. Until such time as the
Optionee disposes of such shares in a manner consistent with the provisions of
this Agreement, unless otherwise expressly authorized by the Company, the
Optionee shall hold all shares acquired pursuant to the Option in the Optionee's
name (and not in the name of any nominee) for the one-year period immediately
after the exercise of the Option and the two-year period immediately after Date
of Grant. At any time during the one-year or two-year periods set forth above,
the Company may place a legend on any certificate representing shares acquired
pursuant to the Option requesting the transfer agent for the Company's stock to
notify the Company of any such transfers. The obligation of the Optionee to
notify the Company of any such transfer shall continue notwithstanding that a
legend has been placed on the certificate pursuant to the preceding sentence.
13. LEGENDS.
The Company may at any time place legends referencing the
Unvested Share Repurchase Option, the Right of First Refusal, and any applicable
federal, state or foreign securities law restrictions on all certificates
representing shares of stock subject to the provisions of this Agreement. The
Optionee shall, at the request of the Company, promptly present to the Company
any and all certificates representing shares acquired pursuant to the Option in
the possession of the Optionee in order to carry out the provisions of this
Section. Unless otherwise specified by the Company, legends placed on such
certificates may include, but shall not be limited to, the following:
13.1 "THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN

THE COMPANY, STATING THAT SUCH SALE, TRANSFER, ASSIGNMENT OR HYPOTHECATION IS
EXEMPT FROM THE REGISTRATION AND PROSPECTUS DELIVERY REQUIREMENTS OF SUCH ACT."
13.2 "THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO

A RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL OPTION IN FAVOR OF THE
11
193
CORPORATION OR ITS ASSIGNEE SET FORTH IN AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CORPORATION
AND THE REGISTERED HOLDER, OR SUCH HOLDER'S PREDECESSOR IN INTEREST, A COPY OF
WHICH IS ON FILE AT THE PRINCIPAL OFFICE OF THIS CORPORATION."

THE CORPORATION TO THE REGISTERED HOLDER UPON EXERCISE OF AN INCENTIVE STOCK
OPTION AS DEFINED IN SECTION 422 OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE OF 1986, AS
AMENDED ("ISO"). IN ORDER TO OBTAIN THE PREFERENTIAL TAX TREATMENT AFFORDED TO
ISOs, THE SHARES SHOULD NOT BE TRANSFERRED PRIOR TO [INSERT DISQUALIFYING
DISPOSITION DATE HERE]. SHOULD THE REGISTERED HOLDER ELECT TO TRANSFER ANY OF
THE SHARES PRIOR TO THIS DATE AND FOREGO ISO TAX TREATMENT, THE TRANSFER AGENT
FOR THE SHARES SHALL NOTIFY THE CORPORATION IMMEDIATELY. THE REGISTERED HOLDER
SHALL HOLD ALL SHARES PURCHASED UNDER THE INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION IN THE
REGISTERED HOLDER'S NAME (AND NOT IN THE NAME OF ANY NOMINEE) PRIOR TO THIS DATE
OR UNTIL TRANSFERRED AS DESCRIBED ABOVE."
14. PUBLIC OFFERING.
The Optionee hereby agrees that in the event of any underwritten
public offering of stock, including an initial public offering of stock, made by
the Company pursuant to an effective registration statement filed under the
Securities Act, the Optionee shall not offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge,
hypothecate, grant any option to purchase or make any short sale of, or
otherwise dispose of any shares of stock of the Company or any rights to acquire
stock of the Company for such period of time from and after the effective date
of such registration statement as may be established by the underwriter for such
public offering; provided, however, that such period of time shall not exceed
one hundred eighty (180) days from the effective date of the registration
statement to be filed in connection with such public offering. The foregoing
limitation shall not apply to shares registered in the public offering under the
Securities Act. The Optionee shall be subject to this Section provided and only
if the officers and directors of the Company are also subject to similar
arrangements.
15. RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER OF SHARES.
No shares acquired upon exercise of the Option may be sold,
exchanged, transferred (including, without limitation, any transfer to a nominee
or agent of the Optionee), assigned, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise disposed
of, including by operation of law, in any manner which violates any of the
provisions of this Agreement and, except pursuant to an Ownership Change Event,
until the date on which such shares become Vested Shares, and any such attempted
disposition shall be void. The Company shall not be required (a) to transfer on
its books any shares which will have been transferred in violation of any of the
provisions set forth in this Option Agreement or (b) to treat as owner of such
shares or to accord the right to vote as such owner or to pay dividends to any

time; provided, however, that except in connection with a Change in Control, no
such termination or amendment may adversely affect the Option or any unexercised
portion hereof without the consent of the Optionee unless such termination or

Plan (the "PLAN") and pursuant to the Stock Option Grant Agreement dated ______,
19__ and the related Terms of Stock Option Agreement (together, the "OPTION
AGREEMENT"). I hereby elect to exercise the Option as to a total of
______________ shares of the common stock of the Company (the "SHARES"), of
which ___________ are Vested Shares and __________ are Unvested Shares as
determined in accordance with the Option Agreement.
2. Payments. Enclosed herewith is full payment in the aggregate amount
of $_____________ (representing $_______ per share) for the Shares in the manner
set forth in the Option Agreement. I authorize payroll withholding and otherwise
will make adequate provision for federal, state, local and foreign tax
withholding obligations of the Company, if any.
3. Binding Effect. I agree that the Shares are being acquired in
accordance with and subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the
Option Agreement, including the Unvested Share Repurchase Option (if applicable)
and the Right of First Refusal set forth therein, to all of which I hereby
expressly assent. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding
upon my heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns. I agree, that
if required by the Company, I will deposit the certificate or certificates
evidencing the Shares, along with a blank stock assignment separate from
certificate executed by me, with an escrow agent designated by the Company, to
be held by such escrow agent pursuant to the Company's standard Joint Escrow
Instructions, an executed copy of which I have delivered herewith.
4. Transfer. I am aware that Rule 144, promulgated under the Securities
Act, which permits limited public resale of securities acquired in a nonpublic
offering, is not currently available with respect to the Shares and, in any
event, is available only if certain conditions are satisfied. I understand that
any sale of the Shares that might be made in reliance upon Rule 144
1
196
may only be made in limited amounts in accordance with the terms and conditions
of such rule and that a copy of Rule 144 will be delivered to me upon request.
I agree that, if the Option is designated an Incentive Stock Option in
the Grant Agreement I will promptly notify the Chief Financial Officer of the

applies if the Option was designated as Immediately Exercisable.) I understand
and acknowledge that if I am exercising the Option to purchase Unvested Shares
(i.e., shares that remain subject to the Company's Unvested Share Repurchase
Option), that I should consult with my tax advisor regarding the advisability of
filing with the Internal Revenue Service an election under Section 83(b) of the
Code, which must be filed no later than thirty (30) days after the date on which
I exercise the Option.
I acknowledge that I have been advised to consult with a tax advisor
prior to the exercise of the Option regarding the tax consequences to me of
exercising the Option. AN ELECTION UNDER SECTION 83(b) MUST BE FILED WITHIN 30
DAYS AFTER THE DATE ON WHICH I PURCHASE SHARES. THIS TIME PERIOD CANNOT BE
EXTENDED. I ACKNOWLEDGE THAT TIMELY FILING OF A SECTION 83(b) ELECTION IS MY
SOLE RESPONSIBILITY, EVEN IF I REQUEST THE COMPANY OR ITS REPRESENTATIVES TO
FILE SUCH ELECTION ON MY BEHALF.
