REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT (this "AGREEMENT"), dated as of March 30,
1999, by and among GENERAL MAGIC, INC., a Delaware corporation, with
headquarters located at 000 X. Xxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx 00000 (the
"COMPANY"), and the undersigned buyers (each, a "BUYER" and collectively, the
"BUYERS").
WHEREAS:
A. In connection with the Securities Purchase Agreement by and among the
parties of even date herewith (the "SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT"), the Company
has agreed, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Securities
Purchase Agreement, to issue and sell to the Buyers (i) shares of the Company's
Series D Convertible Preferred Stock (the "PREFERRED SHARES"), which will be
convertible into shares of the Company's common stock, par value $.001 per share
(the "COMMON STOCK") (as converted, the "CONVERSION SHARES"), in accordance with
the terms of the Company's Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights
of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock (the "CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATIONS"); and
(ii) warrants to acquire shares of Common Stock (the "WARRANTS") (the shares of
Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants are referred to herein as
the "WARRANT SHARES"); and
B. To induce the Buyers to execute and deliver the Securities Purchase
Agreement, the Company has agreed to provide certain registration rights under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations
thereunder, or any similar successor statute (collectively, the "1933 ACT"), and
applicable state securities laws:
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual
covenants contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company and the
Buyers hereby agree as follows:
1. DEFINITIONS.
As used in this Agreement, the following terms shall have the
following meanings:
a. "INVESTOR" means a Buyer and any transferee or assignee
thereof to whom a Buyer assigns its rights under this Agreement in accordance
with Section 9 and who agrees to become bound by the provisions of this
Agreement in accordance with Section 9.
2
b. "PERSON" means a corporation, a limited liability company, an
association, a partnership, an organization, a business, an individual, a
governmental or political subdivision thereof or a governmental agency.
c. "REGISTER," "REGISTERED," and "REGISTRATION" refer to a
registration effected by preparing and filing one or more Registration
Statements in compliance with the 1933 Act and pursuant to Rule 415 under the
1933 Act or any successor rule providing for offering securities on a continuous
basis ("RULE 415"), and the declaration or ordering of effectiveness of such
Registration Statement(s) by the United States Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "SEC").
d. "REGISTRABLE SECURITIES" means the Conversion Shares and the
Warrant Shares issued or issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares or the
exercise of the Warrants, as the case may be, the Registration Delay Payment
Shares (as defined in Section 2(h)) and any shares of capital stock issued or
issuable with respect to the Conversion Shares, the Preferred Shares, the
Warrant Shares, the Warrants or the Registration Delay Payment Shares as a
result of any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, exchange or similar
event or otherwise, regardless of any limitation on conversions of Preferred
Shares or on exercise of the Warrants.
e. "REGISTRATION STATEMENT" means a registration statement of
the Company filed under the 1933 Act.
Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the
respective meanings set forth in the Securities Purchase Agreement.
2. REGISTRATION.
a. Mandatory Registration. The Company shall prepare, and, as
soon as practicable but in no event later than 30 days after the date of
issuance of the Preferred Shares, file with the SEC a Registration Statement or
Registration Statements (as is necessary) on Form S-3 (or, if such form is
unavailable for such a registration, on such other form as is available for such
a registration, subject to the consent of the Investors holding a majority of
the Registrable Securities and the provisions of Section 2(c), which consent
will not be unreasonably withheld), covering the resale of all of the
Registrable Securities. Such Registration Statement shall initially register for
resale a number of shares of Common Stock equal to at least 200% of the number
of Conversion Shares issued and issuable and 150% of the number of Warrant
Shares issued and issuable as of the business day immediately preceding the date
the Company files the Registration Statement (without regard to any limitations
on conversions or exercises), subject to adjustment as provided in Section 3(b).
Such registered shares of Common Stock shall be allocated among the Investors
pro rata based on the total number of Registrable Securities issued or issuable
as of each date that a Registration Statement, as amended, relating to the
resale of the Registrable Securities is declared effective by the SEC. The
Company shall use its best efforts to have the Registration Statement(s)
declared effective by the SEC as soon as practicable, but in no event later than
90 days after the issuance of the relevant Preferred Shares.
-2-
3
b. Allocation of Registrable Securities. The initial number of
Registrable Securities included in any Registration Statement and each increase
in the number of Registrable Securities included therein shall be allocated pro
rata among the Investors based on the number of Registrable Securities held by
each Investor at the time of such establishment or increase, as the case may be.
In the event an Investor shall sell or otherwise transfer any of such holder's
Registrable Securities, each transferee shall be allocated a pro rata portion of
the then remaining number of Registrable Securities included in such
Registration Statement for such transferor. Any shares of Common Stock included
in a Registration Statement and which remain allocated to any person or entity
which does not hold any Registrable Securities shall be allocated to the
remaining Investors, pro rata based on the number of Registrable Securities then
held by such Investors. For the avoidance of doubt, the number of Registrable
Securities held by any Investor shall be determined as if all Preferred Shares
and Warrants then outstanding were converted into or exercised for Registrable
Securities, without regard to any limitations on conversions or exercises.
c. Counsel. Subject to Section 5 hereof, in connection with any
offering pursuant to this Section 2, the Investors shall have the right to
select one legal counsel, which counsel shall be selected by the Investors
holding a majority of the Registrable Securities. The Company shall reasonably
cooperate with any such counsel.
d. Piggy-Back Registrations. If at any time prior to the
expiration of the Registration Period (as hereinafter defined) the number of
shares of Common Stock available for sale under an effective Registration
Statement is insufficient to cover all of the Registrable Securities (in
accordance with Section 3(b)) and the Company proposes to file with the SEC a
Registration Statement relating to an offering for its own account or the
account of others under the 1933 Act of any shares of Common Stock (other than
on Form S-4 or Form S-8 or their then equivalents relating to securities to be
issued solely in connection with any acquisition of any entity or business or
equity securities issuable in connection with stock option or other employee
benefit plans), the Company shall promptly send to each Investor who is entitled
to registration rights under this Section 2(d) written notice of the Company's
intention to file a Registration Statement and of such Investor's rights under
this Section 2(d) and, if within 20 days after receipt of such notice, such
Investor shall so request in writing, the Company shall include in such
Registration Statement all or any part of the Registrable Securities such
Investor requests to be registered, subject to the priorities set forth in
Section 2(e) below. No right to registration of Registrable Securities under
this Section 2(d) shall be construed to limit any registration required under
Section 2(a). The obligations of the Company under this Section 2(d) may be
waived by Investors holding a majority of the Registrable Securities. If an
offering in connection with which an Investor is entitled to registration under
this Section 2(d) is an underwritten offering, then each Investor whose
Registrable Securities are included in such Registration Statement shall, unless
otherwise agreed by the Company, offer and sell such Registrable Securities in
an underwritten offering using the same underwriter or underwriters and, subject
to the provisions of this Agreement, on the same terms and conditions as other
shares of Common Stock included in such underwritten offering.
-3-
4
e. Priority in Piggy-Back Registration Rights in connection with
Registrations for Company Account. If the registration referred to in Section
2(d) is to be an underwritten public offering and the managing underwriter(s)
advise the Company in writing that, in their reasonable good faith opinion,
marketing or other factors dictate that a limitation on the number of shares of
Common Stock which may be included in the Registration Statement is necessary to
facilitate and not adversely affect the proposed offering, then the Company
shall include in such registration: (1) first, all securities the Company
proposes to sell for its own account, (2) second, up to the full number of
securities proposed to be registered for the account of the holders of
securities entitled to inclusion of their securities in the Registration
Statement by reason of demand registration rights, and (3) third, the securities
requested to be registered by the Investors and other holders of securities
entitled to participate in the registration, as of the date hereof, drawn from
them pro rata based on the number each has requested to be included in such
registration.
f. Eligibility for Form S-3. The Company represents and warrants
that on the date hereof it currently meets the requirements for the use of Form
S-3 for registration of the sale by the Investors of the Registrable Securities
and the Company has filed all reports required to be filed by the Company with
the SEC in a timely manner so as to obtain and maintain such eligibility for the
use of Form S-3. The Company covenants that on and after the date hereof it will
use its best efforts to meet the requirements for the use of Form S-3 for
registration of the sale by the Investors of the Registrable Securities and
shall file all reports required to be filed by the Company with the SEC in a
timely manner so as to maintain such eligibility for the use of Form S-3. In the
event that Form S-3 is not available for sale by the Investors of the
Registrable Securities, then the Company (i) with the consent of the Investors
holding a majority of the Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2(a), shall
register the sale of the Registrable Securities on another appropriate form, and
(ii) the Company shall undertake to register the Registrable Securities on Form
S-3 as soon as such form is available, provided that the Company shall maintain
the effectiveness of the Registration Statement then in effect until such time
as a Registration Statement on Form S-3 covering the Registrable Securities has
been declared effective by the SEC.
g. Intentionally omitted.
h. Effect of Failure to Obtain and Maintain Effectiveness of
Registration Statement. If (i) the Registration Statement is not declared
effective by the SEC on or before 90 days after the Issuance Date (as defined in
the Certificate of Designations) of the Preferred Shares (the "SCHEDULED
EFFECTIVE DATE"); or (ii) after the Registration Statement has been declared
effective by the SEC, sales cannot be made (other than on any days during any
Allowable Grace Period (as defined in Section 3(f))) pursuant to the
Registration Statement (whether because of a failure to keep the Registration
Statement effective, to disclose such information as is necessary for sales to
be made pursuant to the Registration Statement, to register sufficient shares of
Common Stock or otherwise); then, as partial relief for the damages to any
holder by reason of any such delay in or reduction of its ability to sell any of
the Registrable Securities (which remedy shall not be exclusive of any other
remedies available at law or in equity), the Company shall pay to each holder of
Preferred Shares an amount in cash per Preferred Share held equal to the product
of (i) $10,000 multiplied by (ii) the sum
-4-
5
of (A) .00033, for each day, up to and including the 30th day, that the
Registration Statement is not declared effective by the SEC after the Scheduled
Effective Date, plus, (B) beginning on and including the 31st day after the
Scheduled Effective Date, .0005, for each day that the Registration Statement is
not declared effective by the SEC after the 30th day after the Scheduled
Effective Date, plus (C) the product of (I) .0005 multiplied by (II) the number
of days after the date the Registration Statement has been declared effective by
the SEC that the Registration Statement is not available (other than on any days
during any Allowable Grace Period) for sales of at least all of the Registrable
Securities. The payments to which a holder shall be entitled pursuant to this
Section 2(h) are referred to herein as "REGISTRATION DELAY PAYMENTS."
Registration Delay Payments shall be paid within five (5) business days of the
earlier of (A) the first day of the month following the occurrence of the event
resulting in the requirement to make Registration Delay Payments, or (B) the
date on which the event resulting in the requirement to make Registration Delay
Payments is cured. In the event the Company fails to make Registration Delay
Payments in a timely manner, such Registration Delay Payments shall bear
interest at the rate of 1.5% per month (or the maximum rate permitted by law),
prorated for partial months, until paid in full. Registration Delay Payments,
and any interest thereon, shall be paid in cash, unless an Investor elects to
have such amounts included in the Additional Amount (as defined in the
Certificate of Designations) by providing the Company written notice of such
election at any time prior to the Company's payment of such amounts. If the
Company fails to pay the Registration Delay Payments, including any interest
thereon, within 15 business days of the applicable payment date, then the holder
entitled to such payments shall have the right at any time, so long as the
Company continues to fail to make such payments, to require the Company, upon
written notice, to immediately issue, in lieu of the Registration Delay
Payments, including any interest thereon, the number of shares of Common Stock
(the "REGISTRATION DELAY PAYMENT SHARES") equal to the quotient of (X) the sum
of the Registration Delay Payments and all interest accrued thereon, divided by
(Y) the lowest Closing Bid Price on any day during the period beginning on and
including the date the Registration Delay Payments were due and payable and
ending on and including the date the holder delivers written notice to the
Company of its election to receive shares of Common Stock in lieu of the
Registration Delay Payments.
3. RELATED OBLIGATIONS.
Whenever an Investor has requested that any Registrable Securities be
registered pursuant to Section 2(d) or at such time as the Company is obligated
to file a Registration Statement with the SEC pursuant to Section 2(a), the
Company will use its best efforts to effect the registration of the Registrable
Securities in accordance with the intended method of disposition thereof and,
pursuant thereto, the Company shall have the following obligations:
a. The Company shall promptly prepare and file with the SEC a
Registration Statement with respect to the Registrable Securities (on or prior
to the thirtieth day after the date of issuance of the Preferred Shares for the
registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2(a)) and use its
best efforts to cause such Registration Statement relating to the Registrable
Securities to become effective as soon as possible after such filing (but in no
event later than the Scheduled Effective Date, for the registration of
Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2(a)), and
-5-
6
keep such Registration Statement effective pursuant to Rule 415 at all times
until the earlier of (i) the date as of which the Investors may sell all of the
Registrable Securities without restriction pursuant to Rule 144(k) promulgated
under the 1933 Act (or successor thereto), or (ii) the date on which (A) the
Investors shall have sold all the Registrable Securities and (B) none of the
Preferred Shares or Warrants is outstanding (the "REGISTRATION PERIOD"), which
Registration Statement (including any amendments or supplements thereto and
prospectuses contained therein) shall not contain any untrue statement of a
material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein, or
necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which
they were made, not misleading. The Company shall submit to the SEC, within
three business days after the Company learns that no review of the Registration
Statement will be made by the staff of the SEC or that the staff of the SEC has
no further comments on the Registration Statement, as the case may be, a request
for acceleration of effectiveness of the Registration Statement to a time and
date not later than 48 hours after the submission of such request.
b. The Company shall prepare and file with the SEC such
amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to a
Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection with such
Registration Statement, which prospectus is to be filed pursuant to Rule 424
promulgated under the 1933 Act, as may be necessary to keep such Registration
Statement effective at all times during the Registration Period, and, during
such period, comply with the provisions of the 1933 Act with respect to the
disposition of all Registrable Securities of the Company covered by such
Registration Statement. In the event the number of shares available under all
Registration Statements filed pursuant to this Agreement is insufficient to
cover all of the Registrable Securities, the Company shall amend the appropriate
Registration Statement, or file a new Registration Statement (on the short form
available therefor, if applicable), or both, so as to cover all of the
Registrable Securities for all Investors, in each case, as soon as practicable,
but in any event within 15 days after the necessity therefore arises. The
Company shall use its best efforts to cause such amendment and/or new
Registration Statement to become effective as soon as practicable following the
filing thereof. For purposes of the foregoing provision, the number of shares
available under all Registration Statements shall be deemed "insufficient to
cover all of the Registrable Securities" if at any time the number of
Registrable Securities issued upon conversion of the Preferred Shares or upon
exercise of the Warrants or issuable upon conversion of the then outstanding
Preferred Shares or upon exercise of the then outstanding Warrants is greater
than the quotient determined by dividing (i) the number of shares of Common
Stock available for resale under such Registration Statements by (ii) 1.5. For
purposes of the calculation set forth in the foregoing sentence, any
restrictions on the convertibility of the Preferred Shares or on the
exercisability of the Warrants shall be disregarded and such calculation shall
assume that the Preferred Shares and Warrants are then convertible and
exercisable, respectively, into shares of Common Stock at the then prevailing
Conversion Rate (as defined in the Certificate of Designations) or Warrant
Exercise Price (as defined in the Warrants), as the case may be.
c. The Company shall furnish to each Investor whose Registrable
Securities are included in any Registration Statement and its legal counsel
without charge (i) promptly after the same is prepared and filed with the SEC at
least one copy of such Registration Statement and any amendment(s) thereto,
including financial statements and schedules, all documents incorporated
-6-
7
therein by reference and all exhibits, the prospectus included in such
Registration Statement (including each preliminary prospectus) and, with regards
to such Registration Statement(s), any correspondence by or on behalf of the
Company to the SEC or the staff of the SEC (other than unredacted versions of
supplemental correspondence for which confidential treatment has been requested)
and any correspondence from the SEC or the staff of the SEC to the Company or
its representatives, (ii) promptly after the effectiveness of any Registration
Statement, ten copies of the prospectus included in such Registration Statement
and all amendments and supplements thereto (or such other number of copies as
such Investor may reasonably request), and (iii) such other documents, including
copies of any preliminary or final prospectus, as such Investor may reasonably
request from time to time in order to facilitate the disposition of the
Registrable Securities owned by such Investor.
d. The Company shall use reasonable efforts to (i) register and
qualify, to the extent required under applicable law, the Registrable Securities
covered by a Registration Statement under such other securities or "blue sky"
laws of such jurisdictions in the United States as any Investor reasonably
requests, (ii) prepare and file in those jurisdictions such amendments
(including post-effective amendments) and supplements to such registrations and
qualifications as may be necessary to maintain the effectiveness thereof during
the Registration Period, (iii) take such other actions as may be necessary to
maintain such registrations and qualifications in effect at all times during the
Registration Period, and (iv) take all other actions reasonably necessary or
advisable to qualify the Registrable Securities for sale in such jurisdictions;
provided, however, that the Company shall not be required in connection
therewith or as a condition thereto to (x) qualify to do business in any
jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this
Section 3(d), (y) subject itself to general taxation in any such jurisdiction,
or (z) file a general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction.
The Company shall promptly notify each Investor who holds Registrable Securities
of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension
of the registration or qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for
sale under the securities or "blue sky" laws of any jurisdiction in the United
States or its receipt of actual notice of the initiation or threatening of any
proceeding for such purpose.
e. Intentionally omitted.
f. As promptly as practicable after becoming aware of such
event, the Company shall notify each Investor in writing of the happening of any
event as a result of which the prospectus included in a Registration Statement,
as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omission
to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made,
not misleading, and promptly prepare a supplement or amendment to such
Registration Statement to correct such untrue statement or omission, and deliver
ten copies of such supplement or amendment to each Investor (or such other
number of copies as such Investor may reasonably request). The Company shall
also promptly notify each Investor in writing (i) when a prospectus or any
prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment has been filed, and when a
Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment has become effective
(notification of such effectiveness shall be delivered to each Investor by
facsimile
-7-
8
on the same day of such effectiveness and by overnight mail), (ii) of any
request by the SEC for amendments or supplements to a Registration Statement or
related prospectus or related information, and (iii) of the Company's reasonable
determination that a post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement would
be appropriate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3(f),
at any time after the Registration Statement has been declared effective, the
Company may delay the disclosure of material non-public information concerning
the Company, the disclosure of which at the time is not, in the good faith
opinion of the Board of Directors of the Company and its counsel, in the best
interest of the Company and, in the opinion of counsel to the Company, otherwise
required (a "GRACE PERIOD"); provided, that the Company shall promptly (I)
notify the Investors in writing of the existence of (but in no event, without
the prior written consent of an Investor, shall the Company disclose to such
Investor any of the facts or circumstances regarding) material non-public
information giving rise to a Grace Period and the date on which the Grace Period
will begin, and (II) notify the Investors in writing of the date on which the
Grace Period ends; and, provided further, that no Grace Period shall exceed 15
consecutive calendar days and during any consecutive 365-day period, the Grace
Period shall not exceed 45 calendar days in the aggregate (an "ALLOWABLE GRACE
PERIOD"). For purposes of determining the length of a Grace Period above, the
Grace Period shall begin on and include the date which is the later of the date
specified in the notice or the date the holders receive the notice referred to
in clause (I) and shall end on and include the date which is the later of the
date specified in the notice or the date the holders receive the notice referred
to in clause (II). The provisions of Section 2(h) of this Agreement shall not be
applicable during the period of any Allowable Grace Period. Upon expiration of
the Allowable Grace Period, the Company shall again be bound by the first
sentence of this Section 3(f) with respect to the information giving rise
thereto. In the event a Grace Period exceeds the Allowable Grace Period, the
Maturity Date (as defined in the Certificate of Designations) shall be delayed
one and one-half (1 1/2) days for each day in excess of the Allowable GraCE
Period as provided in Section 2(g) of the Certificate of Designations.
g. The Company shall use its best efforts to prevent the
issuance of any stop order or other suspension of effectiveness of a
Registration Statement, or the suspension of the qualification of any of the
Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction and, if such an order or
suspension is issued, to obtain the withdrawal of such order or suspension at
the earliest possible moment and to notify each Investor who holds Registrable
Securities being sold (and, in the event of an underwritten offering, the
managing underwriters) of the issuance of such order and the resolution thereof
or its receipt of actual notice of the initiation or threat of any proceeding
for such purpose.
h. The Company shall permit each Investor and a single counsel,
initially Xxxxxx Xxxxxx & Xxxxx or such other counsel as thereafter designated
as selling stockholders' counsel by the Investors who hold a majority of the
Registrable Securities being sold, to review and comment upon a Registration
Statement and all amendments and supplements thereto at least five business days
prior to their filing with the SEC, and shall not file any document in a form to
which such counsel reasonably objects. The Company shall not submit a request
for acceleration of the
-8-
9
effectiveness of a Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement thereto
without the prior approval of such counsel, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld.
i. At the request of any Investor and at such Investor's
expense, the Company shall use its best efforts to furnish to such Investor, on
the date of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement and thereafter from
time to time on such dates as an Investor may reasonably request (i) a letter,
dated such date, from the Company's independent certified public accountants in
form and substance as is customarily given by independent certified public
accountants to underwriters in an underwritten public offering, addressed to the
underwriters, and (ii) an opinion, dated as of such date, of counsel
representing the Company for purposes of such Registration Statement, in form,
scope and substance as is customarily given in an underwritten public offering,
addressed to the underwriters and the Investors.
j. The Company shall make available for inspection by (i) any
Investor, (ii) any underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to a
Registration Statement, (iii) one firm of attorneys and one firm of accountants
or other agents retained by the Investors, and (iv) one firm of attorneys
retained by all such underwriters (collectively, the "INSPECTORS") all pertinent
financial and other records, and pertinent corporate documents and properties of
the Company (collectively, the "RECORDS"), as shall be reasonably deemed
necessary by each Inspector, and cause the Company's officers, directors and
employees to supply all information which any Inspector may reasonably request;
provided, however, that each Inspector shall hold in strict confidence and shall
not make any disclosure (except to an Investor) or use of any Record or other
information which the Company determines in good faith to be confidential, and
of which determination the Inspectors are so notified, unless (a) the disclosure
of such Records is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in
any Registration Statement or is otherwise required under the 1933 Act, (b) the
release of such Records is ordered pursuant to a final, non-appealable subpoena
or order from a court or government body of competent jurisdiction, or (c) the
information in such Records has been made generally available to the public
other than by disclosure in violation of this or any other agreement of which
the Inspector has knowledge. Each Investor agrees that it shall, upon learning
that disclosure of such Records is sought in or by a court or governmental body
of competent jurisdiction or through other means, give prompt notice to the
Company and allow the Company, at its expense, to undertake appropriate action
to prevent disclosure of, or to obtain a protective order for, the Records
deemed confidential.
k. The Company shall hold in confidence and not make any
disclosure of information concerning an Investor provided to the Company unless
(i) disclosure of such information is necessary to comply with federal or state
securities laws, (ii) the disclosure of such information is necessary to avoid
or correct a misstatement or omission in any Registration Statement, (iii) the
release of such information is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other final,
non-appealable order from a court or governmental body of competent
jurisdiction, or (iv) such information has been made generally available to the
public other than by disclosure in violation of this Agreement or any other
agreement of which the Company has knowledge. The Company agrees that it shall,
upon learning that disclosure of such information concerning an Investor is
sought in
-9-
10
or by a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction or through other
means, give prompt written notice to such Investor and allow such Investor, at
the Investor's expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure
of, or to obtain a protective order for, such information.
l. The Company shall use its best efforts either to (i) cause
all the Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement to be listed
on each securities exchange on which securities of the same class or series
issued by the Company are then listed, if any, if the listing of such
Registrable Securities is then permitted under the rules of such exchange, or
(ii) secure designation and quotation of all the Registrable Securities covered
by the Registration Statement on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market, or the Nasdaq
National Market, The American Stock Exchange, Inc. or The New York Stock
Exchange, Inc., as the case may be, and, without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, to arrange for at least two market makers to register with the
National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. ("NASD") as such with respect
to such Registrable Securities. The Company shall pay all fees and expenses in
connection with satisfying its obligation under this Section 3(l).
m. The Company shall cooperate with the Investors who hold
Registrable Securities being offered and, to the extent applicable, any managing
underwriter or underwriters, to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery
of certificates (not bearing any restrictive legend) representing the
Registrable Securities to be offered pursuant to a Registration Statement and
enable such certificates to be in such denominations or amounts, as the case may
be, as the managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, or, if there is no
managing underwriter or underwriters, the Investors may reasonably request and
registered in such names as the managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, or
the Investors may request.
n. The Company shall take all other reasonable actions necessary
to expedite and facilitate disposition by the Investors of Registrable
Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement during the Registration Period.
o. The Company shall provide a transfer agent and registrar for
all such Registrable Securities not later than the effective date of such
Registration Statement.
p. If reasonably requested by the managing underwriters or an
Investor, the Company shall (i) immediately incorporate in a prospectus
supplement or post-effective amendment such information as the managing
underwriters and the Investors agree should be included therein relating to the
sale and distribution of Registrable Securities, including, without limitation,
information with respect to the number of Registrable Securities being sold to
such underwriters, the purchase price being paid therefor by such underwriters
and any other terms of the underwritten (or best efforts underwritten) offering
of the Registrable Securities to be sold in such offering; (ii) make all
required filings of such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment as
soon as notified of the matters to be incorporated in such prospectus supplement
or post-effective amendment; and (iii) supplement or make any reasonable
amendments to any Registration Statement or the related prospectus if requested
by an Investor or any underwriter of such Registrable Securities.
-10-

q. The Company shall use its best efforts to cause the
Registrable Securities covered by the applicable Registration Statement to be
registered with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities
as may be necessary to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities
during the Registration Period.
r. The Company shall make generally available to its security
holders as soon as practical, but not later than 90 days after the close of the
period covered thereby, an earnings statement (in form complying with the
provisions of Rule 158 under the 0000 Xxx) covering a twelve-month period
beginning not later than the first day of the Company's fiscal quarter next
following the effective date of the Registration Statement.
s. The Company shall otherwise use its best efforts to comply
with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC in connection with any
registration hereunder.
t. Within two (2) business days after the Registration Statement
which includes the Registrable Securities is ordered effective by the SEC, the
Company shall deliver, and shall cause legal counsel for the Company to deliver,
to the transfer agent for such Registrable Securities (with copies to the
Investors whose Registrable Securities are included in such Registration
Statement) confirmation that the Registration Statement has been declared
effective by the SEC in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A.
4. OBLIGATIONS OF THE INVESTORS.
a. At least seven days prior to the first anticipated filing
date of a Registration Statement, the Company shall notify each Investor in
writing of the information the Company requires from each such Investor if such
Investor elects to have any of such Investor's Registrable Securities included
in such Registration Statement. It shall be a condition precedent to the
obligations of the Company to complete the registration pursuant to this
Agreement with respect to the Registrable Securities of a particular Investor
that such Investor shall furnish to the Company such information regarding
itself, the Registrable Securities held by it and the intended method of
disposition of the Registrable Securities held by it as shall be reasonably
required to effect the registration of such Registrable Securities and shall
execute such documents in connection with such registration as the Company may
reasonably request.
b. Each Investor, by such Investor's acceptance of the
Registrable Securities, agrees to cooperate with the Company as reasonably
requested by the Company in connection with the preparation and filing of any
Registration Statement hereunder, unless such Investor has notified the Company
in writing of such Investor's election to exclude all of such Investor's
Registrable Securities from such Registration Statement.
c. In the event any Investor elects to participate in an
underwritten public offering pursuant to Section 2, each such Investor agrees to
enter into and perform such Investor's obligations under an underwriting
agreement, in usual and customary form, including, without
-11-
12
limitation, customary indemnification and contribution obligations (only with
respect to violations which occur in reliance upon and in conformity with
information furnished in writing to the Company by such Investor expressly for
use in the Registration Statement for such underwritten public offering), with
the managing underwriter of such offering and take such other actions as are
reasonably required in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of the
Registrable Securities, unless such Investor notifies the Company in writing of
such Investor's election to exclude all of such Investor's Registrable
Securities from such Registration Statement.
d. Each Investor agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from
the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3(g)
or the first sentence of Section 3(f), such Investor will immediately
discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to any Registration
Statement(s) covering such Registrable Securities until such Investor's receipt
of the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section
3(g) or the first sentence of Section 3(f), or until, in the case of a Grace
Period, after the date on which the Allowable Grace Period ended.
e. No Investor may participate in any underwritten registration
hereunder unless such Investor (i) agrees to sell such Investor's Registrable
Securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by
the Investors entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements, (ii) completes
and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting
agreements and other documents reasonably required under the terms of such
underwriting arrangements, and (iii) agrees to pay its pro rata share of all
underwriting discounts and commissions.
5. EXPENSES OF REGISTRATION.
All reasonable expenses, other than underwriting discounts and
commissions, incurred in connection with registrations, filings or
qualifications pursuant to Sections 2 and 3, including, without limitation, all
registration, listing and qualifications fees, printers and accounting fees, and
fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company and fees and disbursements of
one counsel for the Investors selected by the Investors holding a majority of
the Registrable Securities, shall be paid by the Company.
6. INDEMNIFICATION.
In the event any Registrable Securities are included in a
Registration Statement under this Agreement:
-12-
13
a. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company will, and
hereby does, indemnify, hold harmless and defend each Investor who holds such
Registrable Securities, the directors, officers, partners, employees, agents of,
and each Person, if any, who controls, any Investor within the meaning of the
1933 Act or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934 ACT"),
and any underwriter (as defined in the 0000 Xxx) for the Investors, and the
directors and officers of, and each Person, if any, who controls, any such
underwriter within the meaning of the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act (each, an
"INDEMNIFIED PERSON"), against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities,
judgments, fines, penalties, charges, costs, attorneys' fees, amounts paid in
settlement or expenses, joint or several, (collectively, "CLAIMS") incurred in
investigating, preparing or defending any action, claim, suit, inquiry,
proceeding, investigation or appeal taken from the foregoing by or before any
court or governmental, administrative or other regulatory agency, body or the
SEC, whether pending or threatened, whether or not an indemnified party is or
may be a party thereto ("INDEMNIFIED DAMAGES"), to which any of them may become
subject insofar as such Claims (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or
threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon: (i) any untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact in a Registration
Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto or in any filing made in
connection with the qualification of the offering under the securities or other
"blue sky" laws of any jurisdiction in which Registrable Securities are offered
("BLUE SKY FILING"), or the omission or alleged omission to state a material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein
not misleading, (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact contained in any preliminary prospectus if used prior to the
effective date of such Registration Statement, or contained in the final
prospectus (as amended or supplemented, if the Company files any amendment
thereof or supplement thereto with the SEC) or the omission or alleged omission
to state therein any material fact necessary to make the statements made
therein, in light of the circumstances under which the statements therein were
made, not misleading, or (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company
of the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act, any other law, including, without limitation, any
state securities law, or any rule or regulation thereunder relating to the offer
or sale of the Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement (the
matters in the foregoing clauses (i) through (iii) being, collectively,
"VIOLATIONS"). Subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 6(d) with
respect to the number of legal counsel, the Company shall reimburse each
Indemnified Person promptly as such expenses are incurred and are due and
payable, for any legal fees or other reasonable expenses incurred by them in
connection with investigating or defending any such Claim. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, the indemnification agreement
contained in this Section 6(a): (i) shall not apply to a Claim arising out of or
based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with
information furnished in writing to the Company by any Indemnified Person or
underwriter for such Indemnified Person expressly for use in connection with the
preparation of the Registration Statement or any such amendment thereof or
supplement thereto if such prospectus was timely made available by the Company
pursuant to Section 3(c); (ii) with respect to any prospectus, shall not inure
to the benefit of any Indemnified Person or any such person from whom the person
asserting any such Claim purchased the Registrable Securities that are the
subject thereof (or to the benefit of any person controlling such person) if the
untrue statement or omission of material fact contained in the prospectus was
corrected in a subsequent prospectus that was delivered to the Indemnified
Person prior to the pertinent sale or sales by the Indemnified
-13-
14
Person, and the Indemnified Person was promptly advised in writing not to use
the incorrect prospectus prior to the use giving rise to a violation and such
Indemnified Person, notwithstanding such advice, used it, (iii) shall not be
available to the extent such Claim is based on a failure of the Investor to
deliver or to cause to be delivered the prospectus made available by the
Company; and (iv) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if
such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Company,
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Such indemnity shall remain in
full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of
the Indemnified Person and shall survive the transfer or disposition of the
Registrable Securities by the Investors.
b. In connection with any Registration Statement in which an
Investor is participating, each such Investor agrees to severally and not
jointly indemnify, hold harmless and defend, to the same extent and in the same
manner as is set forth in Section 6(a), the Company, each of its directors, each
of its officers, each Person, if any, who controls the Company within the
meaning of the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act (collectively and together with an
Indemnified Person, an "INDEMNIFIED PARTY"), against any Claim or Indemnified
Damages to which any of them may become subject, under the 1933 Act, the 1934
Act or otherwise, insofar as such Claim or Indemnified Damages arise out of or
are based upon any Violation, in each case to the extent, and only to the
extent, that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with
written information furnished to the Company by such Investor expressly for use
in connection with such Registration Statement; and, subject to Section 6(d),
such Investor will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by
them promptly as such expenses are incurred and are due and payable in
connection with investigating or defending any such Claim; provided, however,
that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 6(b) and the agreement
with respect to contribution contained in Section 7 shall not apply to amounts
paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior
written consent of such Investor, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld; provided, further, however, that the Investor shall be liable under
this Section 6(b) for only that amount of a Claim or Indemnified Damages as does
not exceed the net proceeds to such Investor as a result of the sale of
Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement. Such indemnity
shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or
on behalf of such Indemnified Party and shall survive the transfer of the
Registrable Securities by the Investors pursuant to Section 9. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, the indemnification agreement
contained in this Section 6(b) with respect to any prospectus shall not inure to
the benefit of any Indemnified Party if the untrue statement or omission of
material fact contained in the prospectus was corrected in a subsequent
prospectus that was delivered to the purchaser or purchasers prior to the
pertinent sale or sales by such Investors.
c. The Company shall be entitled to receive indemnities from
underwriters, selling brokers, dealer managers and similar securities industry
professionals participating in any distribution, to the same extent as provided
above, with respect to information such persons so furnished in writing
expressly for inclusion in the Registration Statement.
d. Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person or
Indemnified Party under this Section 6 of notice of the commencement of any
action or proceeding (including any
-14-
15
governmental action or proceeding) involving a Claim, such Indemnified Person or
Indemnified Party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any
indemnifying party under this Section 6, deliver to the indemnifying party a
written notice of the commencement thereof, and the indemnifying party shall
have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so
desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume
control of the defense thereof with counsel selected by the indemnifying party
and approved by the Indemnified Person or the Indemnified Party, as the case may
be, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that
an Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its
own counsel with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if,
in the reasonable opinion of counsel retained by the indemnifying party, the
representation by such counsel of the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party
and the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential
differing interests between such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party and any
other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The indemnifying
party shall pay for only one separate legal counsel for the Indemnified Persons
or the Indemnified Parties, as applicable, and such counsel shall be selected by
Investors holding a majority-in-interest of the Registrable Securities included
in the Registration Statement to which the Claim relates, if the Investors are
entitled to indemnification hereunder, or the Company, if the Company is
entitled to indemnification hereunder, as applicable. The Indemnified Party or
Indemnified Person shall cooperate fully with the indemnifying party in
connection with any negotiation or defense of any such action or claim by the
indemnifying party and shall furnish to the indemnifying party all nonprivileged
information reasonably available to the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person
which relates to such action or claim. The indemnifying party shall keep the
Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person fully apprised at all times as to the
status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. No
indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the Indemnified Party or
Indemnified Person (as the case may be), consent to entry of any judgment or
enter into any settlement or other compromise which does not include as an
unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such
Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person of a release from all liability in
respect to such claim or litigation. Following indemnification as provided for
hereunder, the indemnifying party shall be subrogated to all rights of the
Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person with respect to all third parties, firms
or corporations relating to the matter for which indemnification has been made.
The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a
reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall not relieve such
indemnifying party of any liability to the Indemnified Person or Indemnified
Party under this Section 6, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is
materially prejudiced in its ability to defend such action.
e. The indemnification required by this Section 6 shall be made
by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the
investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or Indemnified Damages
are incurred.
f. The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in
addition to (i) any cause of action or similar right of the Indemnified Party or
Indemnified Person against the indemnifying party or others, and (ii) any
liabilities the indemnifying party may be subject to pursuant to the law.
-15-
16
7. CONTRIBUTION.
To the extent any indemnification by an indemnifying party is
prohibited or limited by law, the indemnifying party agrees to make the maximum
contribution with respect to any amounts for which it would otherwise be liable
under Section 6 to the fullest extent permitted by law; provided, however, that:
(i) no contribution shall be made under circumstances where the maker would not
have been liable for indemnification under the fault standards set forth in
Section 6; (ii) no seller of Registrable Securities guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 0000 Xxx) shall be
entitled to contribution from any seller of Registrable Securities who was not
guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation; and (iii) contribution by any seller of
Registrable Securities shall be limited in amount to the net amount of proceeds
received by such seller from the sale of such Registrable Securities pursuant to
the Registration Statement.
8. REPORTS UNDER THE 1934 ACT.
With a view to making available to the Investors the benefits of
Rule 144 promulgated under the 1933 Act or any other similar rule or regulation
of the SEC that may at any time permit the Investors to sell securities of the
Company to the public without registration ("RULE 144"), the Company agrees to:
a. make and keep public information available, as those terms
are understood and defined in Rule 144;
b. file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other
documents required of the Company under the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act so long as
the Company remains subject to such requirements (it being understood that
nothing herein shall limit the Company's obligations under Section 4(c) of the
Securities Purchase Agreement) and the filing of such reports and other
documents is required for the applicable provisions of Rule 144; and
c. furnish to each Investor so long as such Investor owns
Registrable Securities, promptly upon request, (i) a written statement by the
Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements of Rule 144, the
1933 Act and the 1934 Act, (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, and (iii) such other information as may be reasonably requested to
permit the investors to sell such securities pursuant to Rule 144 without
registration.
9. ASSIGNMENT OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS.
The rights under this Agreement shall be automatically
assignable by the Investors to any transferee of all or any portion of
Registrable Securities if: (i) the Investor agrees in writing with the
transferee or assignee to assign such rights, and a copy of such agreement is
furnished to the Company promptly after such assignment; (ii) the Company is
promptly furnished with written notice of (a) the name, address and fax number
of such transferee or assignee, and (b) the securities
-16-
17
with respect to which such registration rights are being transferred or
assigned; (iii) immediately following such transfer or assignment the further
disposition of such securities by the transferee or assignee is restricted under
the 1933 Act and applicable state securities laws; (iv) at or before the time
the Company receives the written notice contemplated by clause (ii) of this
sentence the transferee or assignee agrees in writing with the Company to be
bound by all of the provisions contained herein; and (v) such transfer shall
have been made in accordance with the applicable requirements of the Securities
Purchase Agreement.
10. AMENDMENT OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS.
Provisions of this Agreement may be amended and the observance
thereof may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either
retroactively or prospectively), only with the written consent of the Company
and Investors who hold two-thirds (2/3) of the Registrable Securities. Any
amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this Section 10 shall be binding
upon each Investor and the Company. No such amendment shall be effective to the
extent that it applies to less than all of the holders of the Registrable
Securities. No consideration shall be offered or paid to any person to amend or
consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of this Agreement unless
the same consideration also is offered to all of the parties to this Agreement.
11. MISCELLANEOUS.
a. A person or entity is deemed to be a holder of Registrable
Securities whenever such person or entity owns of record such Registrable
Securities. If the Company receives conflicting instructions, notices or
elections from two or more persons or entities with respect to the same
Registrable Securities, the Company shall act upon the basis of instructions,
notice or election received from the registered owner of such Registrable
Securities.
b. Any notices, consents, waivers or other communications
required or permitted to be given under the terms of this Agreement must be in
writing and will be deemed to have been delivered: (i) upon receipt, when
delivered personally; (ii) upon receipt, when sent by facsimile (provided
confirmation of transmission is mechanically or electronically generated and

delivery service, in each case properly addressed to the party to receive the

accordance with the laws of the State of New York without regard to the
principles of conflict of laws. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the
non-exclusive jurisdiction of (i) the state and federal courts sitting in the
City of New York, borough of Manhattan and (ii) the state and federal courts
sitting in the State of California, for the adjudication of any dispute
hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby

any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to
the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is
brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or
proceeding is improper. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of
process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or
proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address for such
notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute
good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained
herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any
manner permitted by law. If any provision of this Agreement shall be invalid or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not
affect the

validity or enforceability of the remainder of this Agreement in that

Agreement in any other jurisdiction.
e. This Agreement, the Securities Purchase Agreement, the

Securities Purchase Agreement, the Certificate of Designations and the Warrants
supersede all prior agreements and understandings among the parties hereto with
respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof.
f. Subject to the requirements of Section 9, this Agreement
shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the permitted successors and
assigns of each of the parties hereto.
g. The headings in this Agreement are for convenience of
reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof.
h. This Agreement may be executed in two or more identical
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which shall
constitute one and the same agreement. This Agreement, once executed by a party,
may be delivered to the other party hereto by facsimile transmission of a copy
of this Agreement bearing the signature of the party so delivering this
Agreement.
i. Each party shall do and perform, or cause to be done and
performed, all such further acts and things, and shall execute and deliver all
such other agreements, certificates, instruments and documents, as the other
party may reasonably request in order to carry out the intent and accomplish the
purposes of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated
hereby.
j. All consents and other determinations to be made by the
Investors pursuant to this Agreement shall be made, unless otherwise specified
in this Agreement, by Investors holding a majority of the Registrable
Securities, determined as if all of the Preferred Shares and Warrants then
outstanding have been converted into or exercised for, as the case may be,
Registrable Securities (without regard to any limitations on conversions or
exercises).
k. The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the
language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent and no rules of
strict construction will be applied against any party.

Attn: ___________________
RE: GENERAL MAGIC, INC.
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We are counsel to GENERAL MAGIC, INC., a Delaware corporation (the
"COMPANY"), and have represented the Company in connection with that certain
Securities Purchase Agreement (the "PURCHASE AGREEMENT") entered into by and
among the Company and the Buyers named therein (collectively, the "HOLDERS")
pursuant to which the Company issued to the Holders shares of its Series D
Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $.001 per share (the "PREFERRED SHARES"),
and warrants (the "WARRANTS") to purchase shares of the Company's common stock,
par value $.001 per share (the "COMMON STOCK"). Pursuant to the Purchase
Agreement, the Company also has entered into a Registration Rights Agreement
with the Holders (the "REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT") pursuant to which the
Company agreed, among other things, to register the Registrable Securities (as
defined in the Registration Rights Agreement), including the shares of Common
Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares and exercise of the
Warrants, under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 ACT"). In
connection with the Company's obligations under the Registration Rights
Agreement, on ____________ ___, 1999, the Company filed a Registration Statement
on Form S-3 (File No. 333-_____________) (the "REGISTRATION STATEMENT") with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") relating to the Registrable
Securities which names each of the Holders as a selling stockholder thereunder.
In connection with the foregoing, we advise you that a member of the
SEC's staff has advised us by telephone that the SEC has entered an order
declaring the Registration Statement effective under the 1933 Act at [ENTER TIME
OF EFFECTIVENESS] on [ENTER DATE OF EFFECTIVENESS] and we have no knowledge as
of the date hereof, after telephonic inquiry of a member of the SEC's staff,
that any stop order suspending its effectiveness has been issued or that any
proceedings for that purpose are pending before, or threatened by, the SEC.
Very truly yours,
[COMPANY COUNSEL]
