Company Overview
Xoom is a pioneer and leader in the online consumer-to-consumer international money transfer industry. Our customers use Xoom to send money to family and friends in 30 countries. Since January 1, 2007, our customers have used Xoom to send $5.8 billion, including $1.7 billion in 2011 and $2.3 billion in the nine months ended September 30, 2012. According to the World Bank, international consumer money transfer volume totalled $513 billion worldwide in 2011 and is forecasted to grow to approximately $685 billion by 2015. Our modern online and mobile platforms disrupt traditional forms of money transfer and deliver our customers a convenient, fast and cost-effective way to send money.
Our typical customers left their home countries and moved to the United States to seek better employment opportunities and to support their family and friends back home. Our customers represent a broad range of professions and education levels, but share common traits in that they have bank accounts and actively use the Internet or mobile devices. They maintain close ties to home and regularly use Xoom to help their family and friends in their home countries afford basic, and sometimes dire, needs for food, shelter, healthcare and other critical, non-discretionary expenses.
We earn and maintain our customers trust by providing a high level of service through convenient, fast and cost-effective money transfers. Xooms money transfers are initiated online or through a mobile device and can be sent at any time, from any Internet-enabled location. Recipients receive money in the manner they prefer and to which they are individually or culturally accustomed, at major banks and leading retailers. We believe we process and complete money transfer transactions as fast as, or faster than, our competitors, and our customers and their recipients can track the status of their transactions in real time, providing them peace of mind. Our business model allows us to provide our customers with cost-effective money transfers because we do not pay originating agent commissions and the majority of our transfers are funded directly from bank accounts, which lowers our cost of sales.
Our solutions are built on our proprietary technology which, combined with our risk management capabilities and global disbursement network, constitute our operating platform. Our technology enables easy-to-use online and mobile sender interfaces, effective risk management and seamless integration with our disbursement partners systems. We have developed extensive partnerships with major banks and leading retailers who form our global disbursement network across 30 countries and deliver a high quality of service through regionally-recognized, trusted brands.
We generate revenue from transaction fees charged to customers, and from foreign exchange spreads on transactions where the payout currency is other than U.S. dollars. Service fees vary by country, type of funding source, disbursement currency and send amount, but do not vary by method of disbursement, how the transaction was initiated (via computer or mobile device) or the location of the customer. Our foreign exchange revenue is derived from the difference between our cost to buy local currency and the price at which we sell the currency,
referred to as our foreign exchange spread. Our foreign exchange spread varies by country, but our target spreads range from approximately 1% to 3% of a transactions principal send amount.
1
We believe our business model is often characterized by predictable and recurring revenue from our large and growing base of new and repeat customers. We have achieved significant revenue growth as our customer base has expanded. From 2007 to 2011, our revenue increased from $7.4 million to $50.0 million, representing a 61% CAGR. Our revenue increased from $34.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 to $57.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, a 68% increase. We incurred net losses of $4.4 million in 2011 and $3.0 million and $4.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2012, respectively, as we invested in growing our revenue. We have incurred net losses primarily as a result of long-term investments in our service innovation, solutions and marketing programs to increase brand awareness.
Industry Overview
The market for global money transfer is large and growing. According to the World Banks Migration and Development Briefs, the worldwide remittance market grew at a 12% CAGR from $234 billion in 2004 to $513 billion in 2011 and is expected to continue to grow to $685 billion by 2015, a 7% CAGR. Traditionally, the global money transfer market has been served by a few large players, many small regional players, traditional banks and informal person-to-person money transfer service providers that evade regulation. The large industry players primarily service senders who fund with cash, which requires an extensive network of originating agents in the United States and significant infrastructure in receiving locations. This antiquated model of predominantly cash-to-cash money transfer has not evolved meaningfully in more than 100 years and has been plagued by one or more of the following problems: slow transaction processing; non-transparent fees; opaque exchange rates; and an inconvenient offline money transfer experience, including limited store hours, long wait times, complicated manual forms and sometimes unsafe locations. With the widespread adoption of online and mobile channels and a steady increase in the proportion of the banked population among the foreign-born community in the United States, we believe there is a significant opportunity to disrupt the traditional forms of money transfer and provide a better customer experience.
Our Solutions
Our solutions are designed to offer customers a convenient, fast and cost-effective way to send money to family and friends at any time, from any Internet-enabled location. Our operating platform allows us to provide innovative solutions to the challenge of transferring funds internationally, as described below.
| Origination. All Xoom money transfers originate online, without the costs or inconvenience of initiating a transaction at a physical agent location or bank. Our money transfer services are available over the Internet or through a mobile device on our website at www.xoom.com and our co-branded website with Walmart.com. |
| Funding. Our customers have the option to fund a money transfer with a U.S.-based bank account, credit card or debit card. We do not have originating agents who accept cash. As a result, we do not incur the costs or commissions associated with physical agent-based origination and funding. Over 90% of our gross sending volume is funded by bank accounts through the Automated Clearinghouse system, or ACH. ACH transactions are less expensive to fund than credit or debit card transactions, as ACH does not include the variable fees associated with these transactions. |
| Disbursement. Our customers can transfer money from the United States to 30 countries, including many major recipient countries, such as India, Mexico and the Philippines. Our disbursement options include direct deposit into recipient bank accounts in all countries we serve, cash pick-up at our disbursement partner locations in most countries we serve or home delivery of cash in the Dominican Republic and the Philippines. These convenient options are made available through established partnerships with major banks and leading retailers that form our global disbursement network. |
| Transaction Processing. Throughout the entire money transfer process, we provide a high level of risk management, compliance and regulatory oversight and customer service. Our operating platform is |
2
built to track each of these requirements. From the inception of a transaction, our platform enables us to quickly and seamlessly assess the transactions risk profile without introducing undue friction into the customer experience. To minimize payment and fraud risk, we require several requirements to be satisfied in order for a prospective customer to use our services. We have built our technology to test each transaction for compliance, anti-money laundering, acceptable use, anti-fraud and funding risk within seconds. |
Our Competitive Strengths
The majority of our employees are from first or second generation immigrant families and personally understand the importance and impact of our service on our customer base. Our first-hand knowledge of our customers needs enhances our ability to innovate and design solutions that solve their challenges. This customer-centric culture and mission-driven approach permeates our organization, defines the fabric of our company and drives our focus on serving our customers. We believe we have the following competitive strengths:
| Compelling Value Proposition. We provide significant value to our customers through a unique combination of convenience, speed and cost-effective pricing of our services. We also provide transparency to our customers with simple fees and locked-in foreign exchange rates so our customers clearly understand the fee they will pay and the exact amount their recipients will receive before submitting a transaction. In general, we purchase each foreign currency once per business day, and we set our foreign exchange rates daily for our customers using historical customer transaction data and our quantitative models built over several years to balance internal target spreads of 1% to 3% with competitive pricing. |
| Proprietary Risk Management System. Our proprietary risk management system serves as the backbone of our technology platform, balancing a low-friction customer experience with low transaction loss rates, which have been 50 basis points or lower as a percentage of gross sending volume on an annual basis since 2009. |
| Online Origination Affords Valuable Customer Insight. Our customers initiate money transfers online or through mobile devices on www.xoom.com, creating a body of digital, transaction-related data that affords us deep insight into repeat customer behavior. This data provides us with revenue visibility, allows us to quantify the value of each customer and enables us to continually improve our overall customer experience. |
| Marketing Expertise. We believe our expertise in customizing our marketing to culturally diverse target markets provides us with a competitive advantage in attracting new customers to Xoom and retaining existing customers. In addition, the fact that our customers originate transfers online enables us to directly attribute new customers to specific marketing campaigns and optimize future marketing investment. |
| Established Global Disbursement Capabilities. Our network of major banks and leading retailers, assembled relationship by relationship over more than ten years, is comprised of trusted local brands who offer high-quality service. We believe our speed of deposit is superior to that of our competitors and it would be difficult for a new competitor to replicate the breadth and quality of service our disbursement network provides. |
| Efficient Regulatory Compliance. We have designed our technology platform to operate efficiently in a highly complex and continuously evolving regulatory environment. Our technology and compliance expertise enable a low-friction customer experience in a highly-regulated environment, which new market entrants would likely find difficult to replicate. |

Our Growth Strategy
Our growth strategy is focused primarily on attracting and retaining customers in the markets we currently serve. We intend to aggressively grow our business through the following strategies:
| Attract and Retain Customers in the Markets We Currently Serve. Our customers tend to behave predictably, and we are therefore able to increase and optimize our marketing investment to acquire new customers at a cost that is a fraction of their estimated lifetime values. We will continue to selectively invest more in targeted marketing campaigns to acquire new customers. We will also focus on enhancing our service and continue developing new features, including expanding and enhancing our mobile capabilities, to improve our customers experience and further strengthen brand loyalty. We launched our mobile strategy in November 2011. In the three months ended September 30, 2012, 22% of our transactions were sent via mobile devices. |
| Establish New Partnerships and Improve Current Partnerships. We will continue to establish new marketing partnerships to improve awareness of our money transfer services with potential customers. For example, in November 2011, we announced an online retail partnership with Walmart.com. By increasing the number of disbursement partners and improving the quality of service from existing partners, we believe we can increase the relevance of our service and improve our value proposition for our target customers. |
| Expand into New International Markets. We will continue to leverage the experience and expertise gained from our success in current markets to identify attractive, new origination and recipient markets for our services. |
| Leverage Technology and Develop Services in Adjacent Markets. As part of our long-term strategic plan, we intend to explore opportunities to leverage our technology and money transfer network to unlock new revenue streams in adjacent markets. |
Risks Affecting Us
Our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties. These risks include, among others, that:
| We have incurred significant operating losses in the past, and we may not be able to sustain our recent revenue growth and generate sufficient revenue to achieve or maintain profitability. |
| We have a limited operating history in an evolving industry, which makes it difficult to evaluate our future prospects and may increase the risk that we will not be successful. |
| If we fail to attract new customers or retain our existing customers, our business and revenue will be harmed. |
| Inaccurate forecasts of our new customer growth could result in our expenses exceeding our revenue and ultimately harm our business. |
| If the revenue generated by new customers differs significantly from our expectations, or if our customer acquisition costs or costs associated with servicing our customers increase, we may not be able to recover our customer acquisition costs or generate profits from this investment. |
| Our quarterly operating results fluctuate and may not predict our future performance accurately. Variability in our future performance could cause our stock price to fluctuate or decline. |
| Our cash balances are significantly affected by the day of the week on which a quarter ends. As a result, you should not rely on quarter-to-quarter comparisons of our cash balances. |
4
| Failure to maintain sufficient capital could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations. |
| We may not be able to secure additional financing in a timely manner, or at all, to meet our future capital needs, which could impair our ability to execute on our business plan. |
| We generate a substantial portion of our revenue from money transfers to India and the Philippines, and the failure to continue to generate such revenue, due to economic, political or regulatory factors beyond our control, could harm our business, financial position and results of operations. |
| Our revenue could be harmed by fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and other risks related to foreign exchange. |
| We face intense competition and, if we are unable to compete effectively, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be harmed. |
| New or existing technologies could gain wide adoption and supplant our services and features and harm our revenue and financial results. |
| We face payment and fraud risks that could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations. |
| Our business is subject to a wide range of laws and regulations intended to help detect and prevent illegal or illicit activity and our failure, or the failure of one of our disbursement partners or payment processors, to comply with those laws and regulations could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations. |
| Our business is subject to a variety of U.S. and foreign laws, many of which are unsettled and still developing, and many of which may contradict one another due to conflicting regulatory goals. Failure to comply with these laws could subject us to claims or otherwise harm our business. |

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted EBITDA
To provide investors with additional information regarding our financial results, we have disclosed in the table above and within this prospectus adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure. We have provided a reconciliation below between adjusted EBITDA and net loss, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.
We have included adjusted EBITDA in this prospectus because it is a key measure used by our management to evaluate our operating performance, generate future operating plans and make strategic decisions. Accordingly, we believe that adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management and board of directors.
While we believe that this non-GAAP financial measure is useful in evaluating our business, this information should be considered as supplemental in nature and is not meant as a substitute for the related financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Some of these limitations are:
| although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future; |
| adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; |
| adjusted EBITDA does not include the impact of stock-based compensation; |
| adjusted EBITDA does not reflect income tax payments that may represent a reduction in cash available to us; and |
| other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate adjusted EBITDA differently or not at all, which reduces its usefulness as a comparative measure. |
We believe it is useful to exclude non-cash charges, such as depreciation and amortization and stock-based compensation, from our adjusted EBITDA because the amount of such expenses in any specific period may not directly correlate to the underlying performance of our business operations.
Because of the aforementioned limitations, you should consider adjusted EBITDA alongside other financial performance measures, including net loss, cash flow metrics and our financial results presented in accordance
10
with GAAP. The following table presents a reconciliation of net loss to adjusted EBITDA for each of the periods indicated (unaudited):

We estimate revenue to be approximately $80.0 million for 2012, compared to $50.0 million for 2011, which represents an increase of approximately $30.0 million, or 60%. We estimate revenue to be in a range of $21.9 million to $22.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2012, compared to $15.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2011. The estimated increase in revenue is in the range of $6.3 million to $6.8 million, or 40% to 44%, compared to revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2011. The increase was primarily due to an increase in active customers, which included 102,800 and 405,259 new customers added in the three months and year ended December 31, 2012, respectively.
11
We estimate gross profit to be in a range of $52.5 million to $53.7 million for 2012, compared to $31.9 million for 2011. As a percentage of revenue, gross profit margin for 2012 is estimated to be in a range from 65% to 67%, compared to 64% for 2011. We estimate gross profit to be in a range of $14.0 million to $15.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2012, compared to $9.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2011. As a percentage of revenue, gross profit margin for the three months ended December 31, 2012 is estimated to be in a range from 63% to 70%, compared to 64% for the three months ended December 31, 2011. The anticipated increase in gross profit for the three months and year ended December 31, 2012 was primarily a result of a reduction in processing costs per transaction due to more active customers funding their money transfers via bank accounts, which is less costly to us than funding via credit or debit card.
12
Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the following risks and all other information contained in this prospectus, including our consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto, before investing in our common stock. If any of the following risks materialize, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially harmed. In that case, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose some or all of your investment.
Risks Related to Our Business
We have incurred significant operating losses in the past, and we may not be able to sustain our recent revenue growth and generate sufficient revenue to achieve or maintain profitability.
Since our inception, we have incurred significant operating losses and, as of September 30, 2012, we had an accumulated deficit of $61.9 million. Although our revenue has grown rapidly, increasing from $7.4 million in 2007 to $50.0 million in 2011, we expect that our revenue growth rate will decline in the future as a result of a variety of factors, including the maturation of our business, increased competition and the gradual decline in the year-over-year percentage growth of new customers. You should not rely on the revenue growth of any prior quarterly or annual period as an indication of our future performance. We also expect our costs to increase in future periods as we continue to expend substantial financial resources on, among other things:
| business development and marketing; |
| technology infrastructure; |
| service and feature development and enhancement; |
| international expansion efforts; and |
| general administration, including legal and accounting expenses related to being a public company. |
These investments may not result in increased revenue or growth in our business. If we are unable to maintain adequate revenue growth and to manage our expenses, we may continue to incur significant losses in the future and may not be able to achieve or maintain profitability.
We have a limited operating history in an evolving industry, which makes it difficult to evaluate our future prospects and may increase the risk that we will not be successful.
We have a limited operating history in an evolving market that may not grow as expected. This limited operating history makes it difficult to effectively assess our future prospects. You should consider our business and prospects in light of the risks and difficulties we encounter in this evolving market. These risks and difficulties include our ability to, among other things:
| retain an active customer base and attract new customers; |
| avoid interruptions or disruptions in our service or slower-than-expected website load times; |
| improve the quality of the customer experience on our website and through mobile devices; |
| earn and preserve our customers trust with respect to the security of their online money transfers and personal financial information; |
| process, store and use personal customer data in compliance with governmental regulation and other legal obligations related to privacy; |
| comply with extensive existing and new laws and regulations; |
| effectively maintain a scalable, high-performance technology infrastructure that can efficiently and reliably handle increased online money transfers globally; |
13
| successfully deploy new or enhanced features and services; |
| compete with other companies that are currently in, or may in the future enter, the online money transfer business; |
| hire, integrate and retain world-class talent; and |
| expand our business into new sending and receiving countries. |
If the market for online money transfer does not develop as we expect, or if we fail to address the needs of this market, our business will be harmed. We may not be able to successfully address these risks and challenges, including those described elsewhere in these risk factors. Failure to adequately address these risks and challenges could harm our business and results of operations.
If we fail to attract new customers or retain our existing customers, our business and revenue will be harmed.
We must continually attract new customers and retain existing customers in order to grow our business. Our ability to do so depends in large part on the success of our marketing efforts, our ability to enhance our services and our overall customer experience, to keep pace with changes in technology and our competitors and to expand our marketing partnerships and disbursement network. We spent $14.3 million on marketing and $9.4 million on technology and development in 2011, and we expect to continue to spend significant amounts to acquire new customers and to keep existing customers loyal to our service. We cannot assure you that the revenue from customers we acquire will ultimately exceed the marketing and technology and development costs associated with acquiring these customers. We may not be able to acquire new customers in sufficient numbers to continue to grow our business due to macroeconomic factors including exchange rate fluctuations, increased competition, new regulations or other factors, or we may be required to incur significantly higher marketing expenses in order to acquire new customers. If the level of usage by our existing customers declines or does not continue as expected, we may suffer a decline in customer growth or revenue. A decrease in the level of usage or customer growth would harm our business and revenue.
Inaccurate forecasts of our new customer growth could result in our expenses exceeding our revenue and ultimately harm our business.
Our new customer growth forecast is a key driver in our business plan which affects our ability to accurately forecast revenue. If we overestimate new customer growth, our revenue will not grow as we forecast, our costs and expenses may continue to exceed our revenue and our profitability will be harmed. In addition, we plan our operating expenses, including marketing expenses, and our hiring needs in part on our forecasts of new customer growth and future revenue. If new customer growth or revenue for a particular period is lower than expected, we may not be able to proportionately reduce our operating expenses for that period, which would harm our results of operations for that period.
If the revenue generated by new customers differs significantly from our expectations, or if our customer acquisition costs or costs associated with servicing our customers increase, we may not be able to recover our customer acquisition costs or generate profits from this investment.
We spent $14.3 million on marketing to acquire new customers in 2011 and expect to continue to spend significant amounts to acquire additional customers, primarily through television advertising, online advertising and marketing promotions. Our decisions regarding investments in customer acquisition are based upon our analysis of the revenue we have historically generated per customer over the expected lifetime value of the customer. Our analysis of the revenue that we expect a new customer to generate over his or her lifetime depends upon several estimates and assumptions, including whether a customer will send a second transaction, whether a customer will send multiple transactions in a month, the amount of money that a customer sends in a transaction and the predictability of a customers sending pattern. Our experience in markets in which we presently have low penetration rates may differ from our more established markets.
14
If our estimates and assumptions regarding the revenue we can generate from new customers prove incorrect, or if the revenue generated from new customers differs significantly from that of prior customers, we may be unable to recover our customer acquisition costs or generate profits from our investment in acquiring new customers. Moreover, if our customer acquisition costs or our operating costs increase, as they historically have, the return on our investment may be lower than we anticipate irrespective of the revenue generated from new customers. If we cannot generate profits from this investment, we may need to alter our growth strategy, and our growth rate and results of operations may be harmed.
Our quarterly operating results fluctuate and may not predict our future performance accurately. Variability in our future performance could cause our stock price to fluctuate or decline.
Although we have grown quickly in recent years, our quarterly operating results will fluctuate in the future as a result of a variety of factors, many of which are beyond our control. These factors include:
| changes in our costs, including transaction fees charged by our payment processors and disbursement partners; |
| changes in our pricing policies or those of our competitors; |
| relative rates of acquisition of new customers; |
| the online money transfer sending behavior of our customers, including seasonal patterns; |
| the introduction of new or enhanced services and related features by us or our competitors and any delays in the introduction of such services or market acceptance of these features and services; |
| the number of customer transaction refunds in a given period; |
| the number of fraudulent transactions in a given period; |
| the success rate of recovering failed or insufficient transaction funding; |
| bank holidays in foreign markets; |
| exchange rate fluctuations; |
| draw downs on our line of credit; and |
| other changes in our operating expenses, personnel and general economic conditions. |
As a result, period-to-period comparisons of our operating results may not be meaningful, and you should not rely on them as an indication of our future performance.
Our cash balances are significantly affected by the day of the week on which a quarter ends. As a result, you should not rely on quarter-to-quarter comparisons of our cash balances.
Our cash balances may be affected by the day of the week on which each quarter ends which may affect our quarterly operating results. There is a delay between when we release funds for disbursement and when we receive customer funds from our payment processors. For example, if a quarter closes on a Saturday, our analysis of cash flow statements will show a decreased cash balance because we will have wired out funds on Friday which will be available for disbursement on Saturday, Sunday and Monday but we will not receive customer funds from our payment processors until Monday. In addition, due to time zone differences, an additional days worth of funding is required for disbursements to certain markets. As a result, period-to-period comparisons of our statements of cash flows may not be meaningful, and you should not rely on them as an indication of our liquidity or capital resources.
15
Failure to maintain sufficient capital could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We have significant working capital requirements driven by:
| the delay between when we release funds for disbursement and when we receive customer funds from our payment processors, exacerbated by time zone differences, bank holidays and weekends; |
| regulatory requirements; |
| collateral requirements imposed on our subsidiary by our Indian regulator; and |
| collateral requirements imposed on us by our payment processors. |
This requires us to have access to significant amounts of capital, particularly at high volume sending times. Our need to access capital will increase as our number of customers and transactions processed increases. If we do not have sufficient capital, we may not be able to pursue our growth strategy, fund key strategic initiatives, such as feature development, or continue to transfer money to recipients before we receive the funds from our customers, which we refer to as instant ACH transactions. In addition, we may not be able to meet new capital requirements introduced or required by our regulators and payment processors. Increases in our transactions processed, even if short term in nature, can cause increases in our capital requirements. We currently have a line of credit but there can be no assurance that the line of credit will be sufficient or that we will have access to additional capital. Failure to meet capital requirements or to have access to sufficient capital could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We may not be able to secure additional financing in a timely manner, or at all, to meet our future capital needs, which could impair our ability to execute on our business plan.
We believe that our existing cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, available borrowing under our existing line of credit, expected cash flow from operations and net proceeds of this offering, will be sufficient to meet our operating and capital requirements for at least the next 12 months. However, we may require additional capital to respond to business opportunities (including increasing the number of customers acquired), challenges, acquisitions or unforeseen circumstances and may determine to engage in equity or debt financings for other reasons. Any debt financing secured by us in the future could involve restrictive covenants relating to our capital raising activities and other financial and operational matters, which may make it more difficult for us to obtain additional capital and to pursue business opportunities, including potential acquisitions. We may not be able to secure additional debt or equity financing in a timely manner, or at all, which could require us to scale back our business plan and operations.
We have substantial debt obligations that could restrict our operations.
As of September 30, 2012, we had $40.5 million in indebtedness outstanding, as well as $29.5 million available borrowing capacity under our line of credit and $10.0 million reserved under our standby letter of credit, and we may incur additional indebtedness in the future.
Our indebtedness could have adverse consequences on our business, including:
| limiting our ability to compete and our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and the industry; |
| limiting our ability to borrow additional funds because our line of credit agreement contains financial and restrictive covenants that could significantly impact our ability to operate our business, and any failure to comply with them may result in an event of default, which could harm our business; |
| requiring us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flows from operations to repay our debt, thereby reducing funds available for working capital and other purposes; |
16
| increasing our vulnerability to changing economic, regulatory and industry conditions; and |
| limiting our ability to pay dividends to our stockholders. |
Actions by regulators could interfere with our business or require us to limit or cease money transfers, which could harm our business and results of operations.
Money transfers are regulated by state, federal and foreign governments. We, along with our payment processors and disbursement partners, are subject to an extensive set of legal and regulatory requirements, including licensing requirements in many U.S. states and in India. If federal, state or foreign regulators were to take actions that interfered with our ability to transfer money reliably, attempt to seize money transfer funds, or limit or prohibit us, our payment processors or our disbursement partners from transferring money in certain countries, this could harm our business. For example, we have in the past ceased to do business in South Korea as a result of regulatory scrutiny of our disbursement partners business in Korea. If we are prevented from transferring money from particular states or jurisdictions that are significant to our business, it could harm our business and results of operations. For more information, see Regulatory Risks Faced by our Business.
We generate a substantial portion of our revenue from money transfers to India and the Philippines, and the failure to continue to generate such revenue due to economic, political or regulatory factors beyond our control could harm our business, financial position and results of operations.
Approximately 53% and 56% of our total revenue in 2010 and 2011, respectively, were derived from money transfers to India and the Philippines. As a result, any limitations (regulatory or otherwise) on our ability to send money to these jurisdictions, or any economic or political instability, civil unrest, natural disasters or other similar circumstances localized in these countries could have a disproportionately harmful impact on our business, financial position and results of operations.
Our revenue could be harmed by fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and other risks related to foreign exchange.
We have seen increased money transfer volume if the U.S. dollar strengthens against certain currencies. Conversely, we have seen decreased money transfer volume if the U.S. dollar weakens against certain currencies. In particular, we experience abrupt changes in money transfer volume to India when the U.S. dollar strengthens or weakens against the Indian rupee. As foreign exchange rates vary, revenue and other results of operations may differ materially from expectations.
We generate a substantial portion of our revenue from foreign exchange spreads on transactions where the payout currency is other than U.S. dollars. We typically purchase foreign currency each business day on an as-needed basis and evaluate and reset our foreign exchange spread as necessary. Our revenue may be reduced if we incorrectly set our foreign exchange spread. Our revenue also could be reduced if the foreign exchange rate changes between when we purchase our foreign currency and when we sell the foreign currency. In that case, we may reduce our spread to remain competitive or keep our spread the same but lose transaction volume because our exchange rates are viewed as uncompetitive. In addition, foreign exchange rates could become regulated by either U.S. or foreign governments and such governments could implement new laws or regulations that limit our right to set foreign exchange spreads. We may not be able to comply with such regulations and such regulations could harm our business. We do not currently hedge our foreign currency exposure but may in the future.
Our business is subject to seasonal fluctuations which could result in volatility or have an adverse effect on the market price of our common stock.
Our business is subject to some degree of seasonality. Historically, we have experienced increased money transfer volume during holiday periods such as Mothers Day and Christmas and decreased money transfer volume during the first and third quarters. As the growth of our business stabilizes, these seasonal fluctuations
17
may become more evident as our current growth may mask seasonality to some degree. Seasonality may cause our working capital cash flow requirements to vary from quarter to quarter depending on the variability in the volume and timing of money transfers. These factors, among other things, make forecasting our future business results and needs more difficult and may adversely affect our ability to manage working capital and to predict financial results accurately, which could adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
We face intense competition and, if we are unable to continue to compete effectively, our business, financial condition and results of operations would be harmed.
The markets in which we compete are highly competitive and are highly fragmented. Our largest competitors are The Western Union Company and MoneyGram Payment Systems, Inc. We also compete against smaller, country-specific competitors, banks and informal person-to-person money transfer service providers that evade regulation. For example, in money transfers sent from the United States to India, we compete with ICICI Bank. In the future, new competitors or alliances among established companies may emerge. Some of these competitors have longer operating histories, significantly greater financial, technical, marketing, customer service and other resources, greater name recognition, exclusive agreements or a larger base of customers in affiliated businesses than us. Our competitors may respond to new or emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements faster and more effectively than us. Our competitors may devote greater resources to the development, promotion and sale of money transfer services, offer lower prices or better exchange rates and may negotiate exclusive deals which would reduce our opportunities. For example, our competitors have offered coupons for free money transfers and, in India, have established no fee services. Competing services tied to established banks and other financial institutions may offer greater liquidity or superior foreign exchange rates and engender greater consumer confidence in the safety and efficacy of their services than us. We expect competition to continue to intensify. This competition could result in increased pricing pressure, reduced profit margins, increased sales and marketing expenses, our failure to increase market share, or our loss of market share, any of which could harm our business, results of operations and financial condition. There can be no assurance that growth in the online money transfer market will continue and that competitors would not decrease our market share. If we are unable to compete effectively and continue to grow our business, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be harmed.
New or existing technologies could gain wide adoption and supplant our services and features and harm our revenue and financial results.
The introduction of services embodying new technologies could render our existing services and features obsolete or less attractive to customers. Other similar technologies exist or could be developed in the future, and our business could be harmed if such technologies are widely adopted. We may not be able to successfully anticipate or adapt to changing technology or customer requirements on a timely basis, or at all. If we fail to keep up with technological changes or to convince our customers and potential customers of the value of our services even in light of new technologies, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be harmed.
Sustained financial market illiquidity, or illiquidity at our financial institutions, could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We face risks in the event of a sustained deterioration of financial market liquidity, as well as in the event of sustained deterioration in the liquidity or failure of financial institutions where we deposit money, including financial institutions that hold prefunding accounts for our disbursement partners. In particular:
| We may be unable to access funds in our investment portfolio, deposit accounts and clearing accounts on a timely basis to pay money transfers and receive settlement funds. Any resulting need to access other sources of liquidity or short-term borrowing would increase our costs. Any delay or inability to pay money transfers could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations; |
| Our payment processors, the commercial banks that hold our funds, our disbursement partners and the financial institutions that hold prefunding accounts for our disbursement partners or our disbursement |
18
collateral could fail or experience sustained deterioration in liquidity. This could lead to our inability to move funds on a global and timely basis as required to pay money transfers and receive settlement funds, loss of prefunded balances or a breach in our regulatory capital requirements if we are unable to recover our funds; |
| Our line of credit is one source of funding for our liquidity needs. If our lender was unable or unwilling to fulfill its lending commitment to us, our short-term liquidity and ability to operate our business could be harmed; |
| We may be unable to borrow from financial institutions or engage in equity or debt financings on favorable terms, or at all, which could harm our ability to operate our business and pursue our growth strategy; and |
| We maintain cash at commercial banks in the U.S. in amounts in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or the FDIC, limit of $250,000. In the event of a failure at a commercial bank where we maintain our deposits, we may incur a loss to the extent such loss exceeds the insurance limitation. |
If financial liquidity deteriorates, our business, financial condition and our ability to access capital may be harmed and we could become insolvent.
We face payment and fraud risks that could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Individual customer transactions, making up, in aggregate, more than 90% of the volume of amounts sent through Xoom, which we refer to as gross sending volume, is released for disbursement prior to our receiving funds from our customers, which exposes us to repayment risk. If customers have insufficient funds in their bank accounts or have closed their bank accounts and we are unable to collect the funds from customers, our revenue will decline and our business may be harmed. We also offer our customers the ability to transfer money utilizing their credit or debit card. Because these are card-not-present transactions, they involve a greater risk of fraud. If we are unable to effectively manage our payment and fraud risks, our business may be harmed.
To minimize payment and fraud risk, several requirements must be satisfied in order for a prospective customer to use our services. A prospective customer must provide us with the following information: name, address, e-mail address, phone number, date of birth, U.S.-based payment source, name of recipient, recipient disbursement information and recipient address. The U.S.-based payment source may be a bank account, credit card or debit card, but we do not require that it be from any particular bank or banks. All of the transaction data is then evaluated by our proprietary risk management system, which assesses the transaction for regulatory compliance, anti-money laundering, acceptable use, anti-fraud and funding risk. If the transaction is deemed to be high risk by our risk management system, then we will either hold the transaction for further screening or cancel the transaction.
Criminals are using increasingly sophisticated methods to engage in illegal activities such as unauthorized use of credit or debit cards and bank account information. Because we are an online service provider, requirements relating to customer authentication and fraud detection are more complex. We may ultimately be held liable for the unauthorized use of a cardholders card number in an illegal activity and be required by card issuers to pay a charge-back fee. Charge-backs result not only in our loss of fees earned with respect to the payment, but also leave us liable for the underlying money transfer amount. If our charge-back rate becomes excessive, card associations also may require us to pay fines. In addition, we may be subject to additional fraud risk if third-party service providers or our employees fraudulently use customer information for their own gain or facilitate the fraudulent use of such information. In general, we have little recourse if we process a criminally fraudulent transaction.
For the year ended December 31, 2011, our transaction loss expense totaled $5.4 million, representing 0.31% of our gross sending volume. Our transaction loss expense may increase in future quarters if our fraud
19
systems lose effectiveness. We have taken measures to detect and reduce the risk of fraud, but we cannot assure you of these measures effectiveness or our ability to update these measures to address future fraud risks. If these measures do not succeed, our business will be harmed.
The money transfer industry is under increasing scrutiny from federal, state and foreign regulators in connection with the potential for consumer fraud. Negative economic conditions may result in increased disbursement partner or consumer fraud. If consumer fraud levels involving our services were to rise, it could lead to regulatory intervention and reputational and financial damage to us. This, in turn, could lead to government enforcement actions and investigations, a reduction in the use and acceptance of our services or an increase in our compliance costs which may harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.
There has also been increased public attention regarding the use and disclosure of personal information, and regulatory authorities around the world are considering a number of legislative and regulatory proposals concerning data protection and consumer privacy and other matters that may be applicable to our business. Our ability to prevent fraudulent transactions may conflict with the goal of protecting individual privacy. If federal, state or foreign governments or our disbursement partners changed the parameters regarding the customer or recipient information we are allowed to monitor and/or collect, our ability to prevent fraud might be negatively impacted, and our business could be harmed.
We are exposed to the risk of loss or insolvency if our disbursement partners fail to disburse funds according to our instructions.
We are exposed to the risk of loss in the event our disbursement partners fail, for any reason, to disburse funds to recipients according to our instructions. Such reasons could include mistakes by our disbursement partners, or insolvency or fraud by our disbursement partners. To the extent such funds are not disbursed correctly and cannot be recovered, we could be exposed to significant losses, which could harm our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition or potentially cause insolvency. Our funds held by our disbursement partners are not insured by any government or other insurance programs. We have in the past and may in the future suffer such losses. In the event such losses occur, they are not covered by our provision for transaction losses, but are instead characterized in our statements of operations as bad debt.
Our ability to continue to offer our services in the manner we currently offer them depends, in part, on our ability to contract with third-party vendors on commercially reasonable terms.
We currently contract with and obtain certain services from a number of third-party vendors. If these vendors services are interrupted, we may experience a disruption in our services. Further, if these agreements are terminated or we are unable to renegotiate acceptable arrangements with these vendors or find alternative sources of such services, we may experience a disruption in our services and our business may be harmed.
If we are unable to maintain our payment network under terms consistent with those currently in place, or if our disbursement partners encounter business difficulties, our business could be harmed.
Our payment network consists of payment processors and disbursement partners. Payment processors clear and process the funds from the customer to us. We rely on U.S. banks and card processors to provide clearing, processing and settlement functions for the funding of all of our transactions. Disbursement partners disburse funds to our customers recipients. We rely on a network of major banks and leading retailers to disburse funds to our customers recipients in 30 countries. In addition, our disbursement partners may operate their own network of disbursement partners, which we refer to as sub-disbursement partners, with which we do not have a direct relationship.
While we have entered into non-exclusive agreements with each of our payment processors and disbursement partners, our payment processors and disbursement partners could choose to terminate or not renew
20
their agreements with us. Payment processor and disbursement partner attrition might occur for a number of reasons, including such payment processors or disbursement partners dissatisfaction with our relationship or the revenue derived from our relationship, changes in the law or changes or perceived changes in the regulatory environment that prohibit continuing the relationship or make the relationship less profitable for our payment processor or disbursement partner or, in the case of a disbursement partner, a competitor may engage a disbursement partner on an exclusive basis, offer greater financial incentives, or cause less attention to be provided to us. If we are unable to maintain our agreements with current payment processors and disbursement partners, or if our disbursement partners are unable to provide an adequate number of disbursement locations with satisfactory hours of operation in their network, our ability to disburse transactions and our revenue and business may be harmed.
Our payment processors and disbursement partners are critical components of our business. We have in the past experienced long business development periods before signing up both payment processors and disbursement partners. If we are unable to sign new payment processors and disbursement partners under terms consistent with, or better than, those currently in place, and if we are unable to sign new relationships or maintain our current relationships under terms consistent with those currently in place, our revenue and business may be harmed.
Payment processors and disbursement partners also engage in a variety of activities in addition to providing our services and may encounter business difficulties unrelated to our services. Such engagement could cause the affected payment processor or disbursement partner to reduce the services provided, cease to do business with us, or cease doing business altogether. This could lead to our inability to clear our payment instruments or move funds on a global and timely basis as required to settle our obligations. In addition, because we offer instant ACH transactions for the vast majority of our money transfers, if a disbursement partner experienced insufficient liquidity or ceased to do business, we may not be able to recover funds held with that disbursement partner which could lead to a breach of our capital requirements, our insolvency or otherwise harm our business.
We may also be forced to cease doing business with payment processors if card association operating rules, certification requirements and rules governing electronic funds transfers to which we are subject change or are reinterpreted to make it difficult or impossible for us to comply. If we fail to comply with these rules or requirements, we may be subject to fines and higher transaction fees and lose our ability to accept credit and debit card payments from customers or facilitate other types of online payments, and our business and operating results could be harmed.
If we fail to manage our growth effectively, our brand, results of operations and business could be harmed.
We have experienced rapid growth in our headcount and transaction volume, which places substantial demands on our management and operational infrastructure. Our headcount grew from 56 employees at December 31, 2009 to 144 employees at September 30, 2012. Additionally, we may not be able to hire new employees quickly enough to meet our needs. As we continue to grow, we must effectively integrate, develop and motivate a large number of new employees, while maintaining the beneficial aspects of our company culture. If we fail, our efficiency and ability to meet our forecasts and our employee morale, productivity and retention could suffer, and our business and operating results could be harmed.
Our gross sending volume increased over 240% from $500.5 million in 2009 to $1.7 billion in 2011. We will need to continue to improve our operational, financial and management controls, and our reporting systems and procedures in order to manage this growth. If we do not manage the growth of our business and operations effectively, the quality of our services and efficiency of our operations could suffer, which could harm our brand, results of operations and business.
If we fail to expand effectively into new markets abroad, our future growth rates may be harmed.
We are exploring opportunities to expand our operations into new markets abroad by both increasing the number of countries that customers can send money to and also increasing the number of countries where
21
transactions can originate. Any future expansion into new markets could place us in unfamiliar competitive environments and involve various risks, including incurring losses or failing to comply with applicable laws and regulations. Such expansion would also require significant resources and management time, and there is no guarantee that, after expending such resources and time, we will receive the necessary approvals to operate in such new markets. If we are ultimately granted authority to operate in such new markets, it is possible that returns on such investments will not be achieved for several years, if at all. There is no guarantee that our business model will be successful in a new market, that we could maintain profit margins in these new markets or that international expansion would help grow our business. If we are unable to successfully expand our operations into new markets, our future growth rates may be harmed.
Increases in transaction processing fees could increase our costs, affect our profitability, or otherwise limit our operations.
Our payment processors and disbursement partners charge us fees which may be increased from time to time. Banks currently determine the fees charged for ACH transactions and may increase the fees with little prior notice. Our card processors have in the past and may in the future increase the fees charged for each transaction using credit and debit cards which may be passed on to us. Our card processors currently assign us merchant category codes which may change from time to time. Any changes to these codes may affect the fees our customers are charged if they use a credit card, which could increase the overall cost to use our service.
Our disbursement partners charge us disbursement fees which they may renegotiate if they are dissatisfied with their revenue or if we are not providing them with enough transactions. U.S. and foreign governments could also mandate a payment processing tax or require additional taxes or fees to be imposed upon our customers, or otherwise impact the manner in which we provide our services. Any such taxes or increased fees could increase our operating costs, require us to provide additional disbursement collateral and reduce our profit margins.
The effectiveness of our marketing solutions depends in part on our relationships with media buying companies.
We rely, in part, on media buying companies to deliver our online and television marketing. We typically enter into short-term agreements with advertising companies for estimated levels of advertising. If we are not able to have our advertising orders fulfilled, if our agreements with these companies are not extended or renewed, or if we are not able to extend or renew our agreements on terms and conditions favorable to us and we are not able to enter into agreements with alternative companies on acceptable terms or on a timely basis, or both, our business could be harmed.
Our services might be used for illegal or improper purposes, which could expose us to additional liability and harm our business.
Our services remain susceptible to potentially illegal or improper uses as criminals are using increasingly sophisticated methods to engage in illegal activities involving Internet services and payment providers. Because our customers transfer money using bank accounts or credit and debit cards via the Internet, and these are not face-to-face transactions, these transactions involve a greater risk of fraud. Other illegal or improper uses of our services may include money laundering, terrorist financing, drug trafficking, human trafficking, illegal online gaming, romance and other online scams, illegal sexually-oriented services, prohibited sales of pharmaceuticals, fraudulent sale of goods or services, piracy of software, movies, music and other copyrighted or trademarked goods, unauthorized uses of credit and debit cards or bank accounts and similar misconduct. Users of our services may also encourage, promote, facilitate or instruct others to engage in illegal activities. If the measures we have taken are too restrictive and inadvertently screen proper transactions, this could diminish our customer experience which could harm our business. Despite measures we have taken to detect and lessen the risk of this kind of conduct, we cannot assure you that these measures will stop all illegal or improper uses of our services. Our business could be harmed if customers use our system for illegal or improper purposes.
22
If our payment processors and disbursement partners experience an interruption in service, our business and revenue would be harmed.
Our payment processors and disbursement partners have experienced service outages or an inability to connect with our processing systems and this may reoccur in the future. If a payment processor experiences a service outage or service interruption that results in our being unable to collect funds from customers, our liquidity could be harmed and we may not meet our capital requirements.
We rely on our disbursement partners information systems to obtain transaction data. If a disbursement partner, or its sub-disbursement partner, experiences a significant disruption to its information system, is unable to synch its system to our system, or does not maintain the appropriate controls over its systems, we may lose our customers confidence and our reputation may be harmed. Specific problems that could arise include a disbursement partner could be unable to disburse funds in the time period that we communicated to our customers, we may be unable to confirm if a transaction has been disbursed or customer information could be compromised. We currently undergo an extensive integration process with each disbursement partner, but unforeseen bugs or services outages by either the disbursement partner or us could delay disbursement. Such outages have lasted from a couple of hours to a couple of days and may be unplanned. If we are unable to minimize service outages, our business and revenue would be harmed.
If our disbursement partners do not provide a positive recipient experience, our business would be harmed.
We rely on our disbursement partners to disburse funds to our customers recipients. If the experience delivered by our disbursement partners to a recipient is deemed unsatisfactory for any reason, including because our disbursement partners are not properly trained to disburse money or deliver poor customer service, if wait times at our disbursement partners pick up locations are too long, or if cash pick-up locations are not located in convenient and safe locations and open for business at convenient times, customers may choose to not use our services in the future and our business would be harmed.
Customer complaints or negative publicity could result in a decline in the use of our services and our business could suffer.
Customer complaints or negative publicity about our service could diminish consumer confidence in our services which could lead to a reduced use of our services. Breaches of our customers privacy and our security measures could have the same effect. Measures we take to combat risks of fraud and breaches of privacy and security, such as cancelling customer transactions or closing customer accounts, can damage relations with our customers by restricting or decreasing money transfers or restricting the activities of certain customers. These measures heighten the need for prompt and accurate customer service to resolve irregularities and disputes. Effective customer service requires significant personnel expense, and this expense, if not managed properly, could impact our profitability significantly. Any inability by us to manage or train our own or our outsourced customer service representatives properly could compromise our ability to handle customer complaints effectively. If we do not handle customer complaints effectively, our reputation may be harmed and we may lose our customers confidence.
If consumers confidence in our business or in money transfer providers generally deteriorates, our business could be harmed.
We rely on consumers confidence in our brand and our ability to provide a convenient, fast and cost-effective service to send money online to family and friends. Erosion in confidence in our business, or in money transfer providers as a means to transfer money, could adversely impact money transfer volumes, which would in turn harm our business, financial position and results of operations.
23
A number of factors could adversely affect consumers confidence in our business, or in money transfer providers generally, many of which are beyond our control, and could have an adverse impact on our results of operations. These factors include:
| changes or proposed changes in laws or regulations or system rules that make it more difficult for consumers to transfer money using traditional money transfer providers or require us to capture or handle data in a way that is more burdensome or expensive; |
| actions by federal, state or foreign regulators that interfere with our ability to transfer consumers money reliably, including, for example, attempts to seize money transfer funds; |
| federal, state or foreign legal requirements, including those that require us to provide consumer data to a greater extent than is currently required; |
| any significant interruption in our systems, including by fire, natural disaster, power loss, telecommunications failure, terrorism, vendor failure, unauthorized entry and computer viruses; and |
| any breach, or reported breach, of our security policies or legal requirements resulting in a compromise of consumer data. |
We may be unable to continue to use the domain names that we use in our business, or prevent third parties from acquiring and using domain names that infringe on, are similar to, or otherwise decrease the value of our brand or our trademarks.
We have registered domain names for our website that we use in our business, such as www.xoom.com. If we lose the ability to use a domain name, whether due to trademark claims, failure to renew the applicable registration, or any other cause, we may be forced to market our services under a new domain name, which could diminish our brand or cause us to incur significant expenses in order to purchase rights to the domain name in question. In addition, our competitors and others could attempt to capitalize on our brand recognition by using domain names similar to ours. Domain names similar to ours have been registered in the United States and elsewhere. We may be unable to prevent third parties from acquiring and using domain names that infringe on, are similar to, or otherwise decrease the value of our brand or our trademarks or service marks. Protecting and enforcing our rights in our domain names may require litigation, which could result in substantial costs and diversion of managements attention, and we may not prevail.
If Internet search engines methodologies are modified or our search result page rankings decline for other reasons, our new customer growth could decline.
We depend in part on various Internet search engines, such as Google and Yahoo!, to direct a significant amount of traffic to our website. Our ability to maintain the number of visitors directed to our website is not entirely within our control. Our competitors search engine optimization efforts may result in their websites receiving a higher search result page ranking than ours, or Internet search engines could revise their methodologies in an attempt to improve their search results, which could adversely affect the placement of our search result page ranking. As a result, links to our website may not be prominent enough to drive traffic to our website, and we may not be able to influence the results. If Internet search engines modify their search algorithms in ways that are detrimental to our new customer growth or in ways that make it harder for our customers to find or use our website, or if our competitors search engine optimization efforts are more successful than ours, overall growth in our customer base could slow, and we could lose existing customers. In addition, search engines that we use to advertise our brand have frequently changing rules that govern the pricing, availability and placement of online advertisements (e.g., paid search and keywords) and changes to these rules could harm our ability to use online advertising to promote our brands in a cost-effective manner. Our website has experienced fluctuations in search result rankings in the past, and we anticipate similar fluctuations in the future. Any reduction in the number of persons directed to our website would harm our business.
24
Many people use smartphones and other mobile devices to access information on the Internet and if we are not successful in developing effective mobile solutions, or those solutions are not widely adopted, our business could be harmed.
The number of people who access the Internet through mobile devices, including smartphones and handheld tablets or computers, has increased significantly in the past few years and is expected to continue to increase. Mobile devices provide us an additional channel to offer our services to new and existing customers and offer a convenient solution to send money at any time, from any Internet-enabled location. We believe that mobile devices provide some customers with their first sustained Internet connection, which gives them access to our online money transfer services. Customers can currently access our services on our mobile site, but we are also in the process of developing a mobile application. If we are not able to drive customers to our mobile site, launch our mobile application in a timely manner or generate customer usage of our mobile website and mobile application, our ability to grow our business could be harmed.
Additionally, as new mobile devices and platforms are released, it is difficult to predict the problems we may encounter in developing features for these alternative devices and platforms, and we may need to devote significant resources to the creation, support and maintenance of such features. In addition, if we experience difficulties in the future in integrating our mobile application into mobile devices or if problems arise with our relationships with providers of mobile operating systems or mobile application download stores or if we face increased costs to distribute our mobile application, our future growth and results of operations could suffer. In addition, we may face different fraud risks from transactions sent from mobile devices than we do from personal computers. If we are unable to effectively anticipate and manage these fraud risks, our business and results of operations may be harmed.
We may not timely and effectively scale and adapt our existing technology and network infrastructure to ensure that our services are accessible.
The ability to access our services at all times and at acceptable load times is important for our business. We have previously experienced, and may experience in the future, service disruptions, outages and other performance problems due to a variety of factors, including infrastructure changes, human or software errors, hardware failures, capacity constraints due to an overwhelming number of customers accessing our service simultaneously, denial of service, fraud or security attacks or failure of third-party service providers on whom we rely to perform data hosting and related services. In some instances, we may not be able to identify the cause of these performance problems within an acceptable period of time. It may become increasingly difficult to maintain and improve the availability and reliability of our services, especially during peak usage times and as our services become more complex and our customer traffic increases. If our service is unavailable when customers attempt to access it or it does not load as quickly as they expect, customers may believe that our services are unreliable or too slow. New or existing customers may seek other money transfer services and may not return to our services as often in the future, or at all. This would harm our ability to attract customers and could decrease the frequency with which they use our website, mobile website and mobile application. We expect to continue to make significant investments to maintain and improve the availability and reliability of our services and to enable rapid releases of new features. To the extent that we do not effectively address capacity constraints, upgrade our systems as needed and continually develop our technology and network architecture to accommodate actual and anticipated changes in technology, our business and results of operations may be harmed.
Our disaster recovery program contemplates transitioning our website and data to a backup center in the event of a catastrophe, but we have not yet tested the procedure in full, and the transition procedure may take several months or more to complete. During this time, our services may be unavailable in whole or in part to our customers.
A breach of security of our systems could harm our business.
We obtain, transmit and store confidential customer information in connection with our services. These activities are subject to laws and regulations in the United States and other jurisdictions. The requirements
25
imposed by these laws and regulations, which often differ materially among the many jurisdictions to which we are subject, are designed to protect the privacy of personal information and to prevent that information from being inappropriately disclosed. We rely on a variety of technologies to provide security for our systems. Advances in computer capabilities, new discoveries in the field of cryptography or other events or developments, including improper acts by third parties, may result in a compromise or breach of the security measures we use to protect our systems. We could also suffer from an internal security breach. If a third party or an employee were to misappropriate, misplace or lose corporate information, including our financial and account information, our customers personal information or our source code, our business may be harmed. We may be required to expend significant capital and other resources to protect against these security breaches or losses or to alleviate problems caused by these breaches or losses. Our disbursement partners and third-party contractors also may experience security breaches involving the storage and transmission of our data. If third parties gain improper access to our systems or databases or those of our disbursement partners or contractors, they may be able to steal, publish, delete or modify confidential customer information. A security breach could expose us to monetary liability, lead to inquiries and fines or penalties from regulatory or governmental authorities, lead to reputational harm and make our customers less confident in our services, which could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.
If we are unable to adequately protect our brand and the intellectual property rights related to our existing and any new services, or if we infringe on the rights of others, our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations could be harmed.
The XOOM brand is important to our business. Our business could be harmed if we were unable to adequately protect our brand and the value of our brand decreased as a result.
We rely on a combination of patent and trademark laws, trade secret protection and confidentiality and license agreements to protect the intellectual property rights related to our services, all of which offer only limited protection. While we have filed two patent applications, we have not been granted any patents for features of our electronic payment processing system. The process of obtaining patent protection is expensive and time consuming, and we may not be able to prosecute all necessary or desirable patent applications at a reasonable cost or in a timely manner. We may choose not to seek patent protection for certain innovations and may choose not to pursue patent protection in certain jurisdictions. Furthermore, it is possible that our patent applications may not issue as granted patents, that the scope of our issued patents will be insufficient or not have the coverage originally sought, that our issued patents will not provide us with any competitive advantages, and that our patents and other intellectual property rights may be challenged by others or invalidated through administrative process or litigation. In addition, issuance of a patent does not guarantee that we have an absolute right to practice the patented invention. As a result, we may not be able to obtain adequate patent protection or to enforce our issued patents effectively. We may be subject to claims by third parties alleging that we infringe their intellectual property rights or have misappropriated other proprietary rights.
We have in the past and may in the future bring a claim against third parties alleging infringement of our intellectual property rights. For example, in February 2011, we filed a lawsuit in federal court in the Northern District of California against Motorola Mobility, Inc. and other affiliated companies, alleging trademark infringement and other related claims, stemming from Motorolas use of the name XOOM in connection with its wireless tablet devices and related accessories. If our lawsuit is unsuccessful, and one or more of Motorolas Xoom-branded products is commercially successful, then this could diminish the value of our brand, adversely affect our ability to market our services, and our business could be harmed. We may be required to spend resources to defend such claims or to protect and police our own rights. Some of our intellectual property rights may not be protected by intellectual property laws, particularly in foreign jurisdictions. The loss of our intellectual property protection, the inability to secure or enforce intellectual property protection or to successfully defend against claims of intellectual property infringement could harm our business.
We also rely on our unpatented proprietary technology and trade secrets. Despite our efforts to protect our proprietary technology and trade secrets, unauthorized parties may attempt to misappropriate, reverse engineer or
26
otherwise obtain and use them. The contractual provisions that we enter into with employees, consultants, disbursement partners, vendors and customers may not prevent unauthorized use or disclosure of our proprietary technology or intellectual property rights and may not provide an adequate remedy in the event of unauthorized use or disclosure of our proprietary technology or intellectual property rights. Moreover, policing unauthorized use of our technologies, services and intellectual property is difficult, expensive and time consuming, particularly in foreign countries where the laws may not be as protective of intellectual property rights as those in the U.S., and where mechanisms for enforcement of intellectual property rights may be weak. We may be unable to determine the extent of any unauthorized use or infringement of our services, technologies or intellectual property rights.
From time to time, legal action by us may be necessary to enforce our patents and other intellectual property rights, to protect our trade secrets, to determine the validity and scope of the intellectual property rights of others or to defend against claims of infringement or invalidity. Such litigation could result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and could negatively affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. If we are unable to protect our intellectual property rights, we may find ourselves at a competitive disadvantage to others who need not incur the additional expense, time and effort required to create the innovative services that have enabled us to be successful to date.
Assertions by third parties of infringement or other violations by us of their intellectual property rights could result in significant costs and substantially harm our business and operating results.
Patent and other intellectual property disputes are common in the payments and money transfer industries. Some companies in the money transfer industry, including some of our competitors, own large numbers of patents, copyrights, trademarks and trade secrets, which they may use to assert claims against us. Third parties have asserted and may in the future assert claims of infringement, misappropriation or other violations of intellectual property rights against us. As the number of services and competitors in our market increase and overlaps occur, claims of infringement, misappropriation and other violations of intellectual property rights may increase. Any claim of infringement, misappropriation or other violation of intellectual property rights by a third party, even those without merit, could cause us to incur substantial costs defending against the claim and could distract our management.
The patent portfolios of our most significant competitors are larger than ours and this disparity may increase the risk that they may sue us for patent infringement and may limit our ability to counterclaim for patent infringement or settle through patent cross-licenses. In addition, future assertions of patent rights by third parties, and any resulting litigation, may involve patent holding companies or other adverse patent owners who have no relevant product revenue and against whom our own patents may therefore provide little or no deterrence or protection. We cannot assure you that we are not infringing or otherwise violating any third-party intellectual property rights.
An adverse outcome of a dispute may require us to pay substantial damages, including treble damages, if we are found to have willfully infringed a third partys patents or copyrights; cease making, licensing or using solutions that are alleged to infringe or misappropriate the intellectual property of others; expend additional development resources to attempt to redesign our services or otherwise to develop non-infringing technology, which may not be successful; enter into potentially unfavorable royalty or license agreements in order to obtain the right to use necessary technologies or intellectual property rights; and indemnify our disbursement partners and other third parties. Royalty or licensing agreements, if required or desirable, may be unavailable on terms acceptable to us, or at all, and may require significant royalty payments and other expenditures. In addition, some licenses may be non-exclusive, and therefore our competitors may have access to the same technology licensed to us. Any of these events could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.
27
There are a number of risks associated with our international operations that could harm our business.
We provide money transfer services to 30 countries and territories and may expand into additional sending and receiving countries. Our ability to grow in international markets could be harmed by a number of factors, including:
| changes in political and economic conditions and potential instability in certain regions; |
| restrictions on money transfers to or from certain countries; |
| currency control and repatriation issues; |
| changes in regulatory requirements or in foreign policy, including the adoption of domestic or foreign laws, regulations and interpretations detrimental to our business; |
| possible increased costs and additional regulatory burdens imposed on our business; |
| the implementation of U.S. sanctions, resulting in bank closures in certain countries and the freezing of our assets; |
| burdens of complying with a wide variety of laws and regulations; |
| fraud, theft or lack of compliance by disbursement partners in foreign legal jurisdictions where legal enforcement may be difficult or costly; |
| reduced protection of our intellectual property rights; |
| unfavorable tax rules or trade barriers; |
| inability to secure, train or monitor disbursement partners; and |
| failure to successfully manage our exposure to foreign exchange rates, in particular with respect to the Indian rupee. |
In addition, we conduct certain functions, including customer operations, in regions outside of the United States. We are subject to both U.S. and local laws and regulations applicable to our offshore activities, and any factors which reduce the anticipated benefits associated with providing these functions outside of the United States, including cost efficiencies and productivity improvements, could harm our business.
We expect new remittance rules to take effect in the United States in the spring of 2013, which will impose additional disclosure and other responsibilities on us as described elsewhere in these risk factors.
A material slowdown or disruption in international migration patterns could harm our business.
A majority of our customers are from first or second generation immigrant families and our business relies in part on international migration patterns. A significant portion of money transfer transactions are initiated by immigrants who have moved from their home countries to the United States. These immigrants typically send money back to their home countries to their family and friends. Migration is affected by, among other factors, overall economic conditions, the availability of job opportunities, changes in immigration laws and political or other events such as war, terrorism or health emergencies that would make it more difficult for workers to migrate or work abroad. Changes to these factors could harm our online money transfer volume, our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Changes in U.S. immigration laws or changes in the emigration laws of other jurisdictions that discourage international migration, and political or other events, such as war, terrorism or health emergencies, that make it more difficult for individuals to immigrate to the United States or work in the United States, could adversely affect our gross sending volume or growth rate. Sustained weakness in U.S. or global economic conditions could reduce economic opportunities for immigrant workers and result in reduced or disrupted international migration patterns. Reduced or disrupted international migration patterns are likely to reduce money transfer volumes and harm our results of operations.

Our use of open source and third-party technology could impose limitations on our ability to commercialize our software.
We use open source software in our services and, although we monitor our use of open source software to avoid subjecting our services to conditions we do not intend, the terms of many open source licenses have not been interpreted by U.S. courts. As a result, there is a risk that these licenses could be construed in a way that could impose unanticipated conditions or restrictions on our ability to provide our services. In such an event, we could be required to seek licenses from third parties to continue offering our services, to make our proprietary code generally available in source code form, to re-engineer our services or to discontinue our services if re-engineering could not be accomplished on a timely basis, any of which could harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Our business is subject to the risks of earthquakes, fires, floods, other natural catastrophic events and to interruption by man-made problems such as computer viruses or terrorism which could result in system failures and interruptions which could harm our business.
Although our systems have been designed around industry-standard architectures to reduce downtime in the event of outages or catastrophic occurrences, they remain vulnerable to damage or interruption from earthquakes, floods, fires, power loss, California rolling blackouts, telecommunication failures, terrorist attacks, cyber-attacks, computer viruses, computer denial-of-service attacks, human error, hardware or software defects or malfunctions (including defects or malfunctions of components of our systems that are supplied by third-party service providers), and similar events or disruptions. Our U.S. corporate offices and one of the facilities we lease to house our computer and telecommunications equipment are located in the San Francisco Bay Area, a region known for seismic activity. Our outsourced customer call centers are located in the Philippines and El Salvador, which are also known for seismic activity. Despite any precautions we may take, system interruptions and delays could occur if there is a natural disaster, if a third-party provider closes a facility we use without adequate notice for financial or other reasons, or if there are other unanticipated problems at our leased facilities. As we rely heavily on our servers, computer and communications systems and the Internet to conduct our business and provide high-quality customer service, such disruptions could harm our ability to run our business and cause lengthy delays which could harm our business, results of operations and financial condition. We currently are not able to switch instantly to our back-up center in the event of failure of the main server site. This means that an outage at one facility could result in our system being unavailable for a significant period of time. We do not carry business interruption insurance sufficient to compensate us for losses that may result from interruptions in our service as a result of system failures. A system outage or data loss could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Continued weakness in economic conditions, in both the United States and global markets, could harm our business.
Our business relies in part on the overall strength of global economic conditions as well as international migration patterns. Money transfer transactions and international migration patterns are affected by, among other things, employment opportunities and overall economic conditions. Poor economic conditions may result in reduced job opportunities for our customers, or other countries that may become important to our business, which could harm our results of operations.
If general market conditions in the United States were to deteriorate, our business could be harmed. Additionally, if the volume of our online money transfers declines or international migration patterns shift due to deteriorating economic conditions, we may be unable to timely and effectively reduce our operating costs or take other actions in response, which could harm our results of operations.
We enable money transfers through disbursement partners in some regions that are politically volatile.
We enable money transfers in some regions that are politically volatile. If a country experiences political instability that affects its economy or financial systems, our business could be harmed. It also is possible that our
29
services could be used by wrongdoers in contravention of U.S. or foreign law or regulations. Such circumstances could result in increased compliance costs, regulatory inquiries, suspension or revocation of required licenses or registrations, seizure or forfeiture of assets and the imposition of civil and criminal fees and penalties. In addition to monetary fines or penalties that we could incur, we could be subject to reputational harm that could harm our business.
The loss of one or more key members of our management team, or our failure to attract, integrate and retain other highly qualified personnel in the future, could harm our business.
We believe our success has depended, and continues to depend, on the efforts and talents of our employees, including John Kunze, our President and Chief Executive Officer, Ryno Blignaut, our Chief Financial Officer, and Julian King, our Senior Vice President of Marketing and Corporate Development. Our future success depends on our continuing ability to attract, develop, motivate and retain highly qualified and skilled employees. Qualified individuals are in high demand, and we may incur significant costs to attract and keep them. In addition, the loss of any of our senior management or key employees could harm our ability to execute our business plan, and we may not be able to find adequate replacements. All of our officers and other U.S. employees are at-will employees, which means they may terminate their employment relationship with us at any time, and their knowledge of our business and industry would be extremely difficult to replace. We cannot ensure that we will be able to retain the services of any members of our senior management or other key employees. If we do not succeed in attracting well-qualified employees or retaining and motivating existing employees, our business could be harmed.
Our management team has limited experience managing a public company, and regulatory compliance may divert its attention from the day-to-day management of our business.
The individuals who now constitute our management team have limited experience managing a publicly-traded company and limited experience complying with the increasingly complex laws pertaining to public companies. Our management team may not successfully or efficiently manage our transition to being a public company that will be subject to significant regulatory oversight and reporting obligations under the federal securities laws. In particular, these new obligations will require substantial attention from our senior management and could divert their attention away from the day-to-day management of our business.
Acquisitions could disrupt our business and harm our financial condition and results of operations.
We may decide to acquire complementary businesses, products and technologies. Our ability as an organization to successfully make and integrate acquisitions is unproven. Acquisitions could require significant capital infusions and could involve many risks, including potential negative impact on our results of operations due to debt or liabilities incurred in connection with an acquisition, difficulties assimilating and integrating the acquired business, disruption of our ongoing business by diverting resources and distracting management, not realizing the expected benefits of the acquisition, and potential dilution of stockholders ownership in the event we issue equity securities to complete an acquisition. We cannot assure you that we will be able to identify or consummate any future acquisition on favorable terms, or at all. If we do pursue an acquisition, it is possible that we not realize the anticipated benefits from the acquisition or that the financial markets or investors will view the acquisition negatively. Even if we successfully complete an acquisition, it could harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.
The requirements of being a public company may strain our resources, divert managements attention and affect our ability to attract and retain executive management and qualified board members.
As a public company, we will be subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or the Exchange Act, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, or the Dodd-Frank Act, the listing requirements of the NASDAQ Global Market and other applicable securities rules and regulations. Compliance with these rules and regulations
30
will increase our legal and financial compliance costs, make some activities more difficult, time consuming or costly and increase demand on our systems and resources, particularly after we are no longer an emerging growth company, as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or the JOBS Act. The Exchange Act requires, among other things, that we file annual, quarterly and current reports with respect to our business and results of operations. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires, among other things, that we maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting. In order to maintain and, if required, improve our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting to meet this standard, significant resources and management oversight may be required. As a result, managements attention may be diverted from other business concerns, which could harm our business and results of operations. Although we have already hired additional employees to comply with these requirements, we may need to hire more employees in the future or engage outside consultants, which will increase our costs and expenses.
In addition, changing laws, regulations and standards relating to corporate governance and public disclosure are creating uncertainty for public companies, increasing legal and financial compliance costs and making some activities more time consuming. These laws, regulations and standards are subject to varying interpretations, in many cases due to their lack of specificity, and, as a result, their application in practice may evolve over time as new guidance is provided by regulatory and governing bodies. This could result in continuing uncertainty regarding compliance matters and higher costs necessitated by ongoing revisions to disclosure and governance practices. We intend to invest resources to comply with evolving laws, regulations and standards, and this investment may result in increased general and administrative expenses and a diversion of managements time and attention from revenue-generating activities to compliance activities. If our efforts to comply with new laws, regulations and standards differ from the activities intended by regulatory or governing bodies due to ambiguities related to their application and practice, regulatory authorities may initiate legal proceedings against us and our business may be adversely affected.
We also expect that being a public company and these new rules and regulations will make it more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance, and we may be required to accept reduced coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain coverage. These factors could also make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified members of our board of directors, particularly to serve on our audit committee and compensation committee, and qualified executive officers.
As a result of disclosure of information in this prospectus and in filings required of a public company, our business and financial condition will become more visible, which may result in threatened or actual litigation, including by competitors and other third parties. If such claims are successful, our business and results of operations could be harmed, and even if the claims do not result in litigation or are resolved in our favor, these claims, and the time and resources necessary to resolve them, could divert the resources of our management and harm our business and results of operations.
As a result of becoming a public company, we will be obligated to develop and maintain proper and effective internal control over financial reporting, but we may not complete our analysis of our internal control over financial reporting in a timely manner, or these internal controls may not be determined to be effective, either of which may harm investor confidence in us and the value of our common stock.
We will be required, pursuant to Section 404 of the SarbanesOxley Act, to furnish a report by management on, among other things, the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting for the year ended December 31, 2014. This assessment will need to include disclosure of any material weaknesses identified by our management in our internal control over financial reporting, as well as a statement that our independent registered public accounting firm has issued an opinion on our internal control over financial reporting.
We are in the very early stages of the costly and challenging process of compiling the system and processing documentation necessary to perform the evaluation needed to comply with Section 404. We may not be able to complete our evaluation, testing and any required remediation in a timely fashion. During the evaluation and
31
testing process, if we identify one or more material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, we will be unable to assert that our internal controls are effective.
If we are unable to assert that our internal control over financial reporting is effective, or if our independent registered public accounting firm is unable to express an opinion on the effectiveness of our internal controls, we could lose investor confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports, which could cause the price of our common stock to decline, and we may be subject to investigation or sanctions by the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC.
We will be required to disclose changes made in our internal control and procedures on a quarterly basis. However, our independent registered public accounting firm will not be required to formally attest to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404 until the later of the year following our first annual report required to be filed with the SEC, or the date we are no longer an emerging growth company. We will remain an emerging growth company for up to five years, although if the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of any June 30 before that time, we would cease to be an emerging growth company as of the following December 31. To comply with the requirements of being a public company, we may need to undertake various actions, such as implementing new internal controls and procedures and hiring accounting or internal audit staff.
We are an emerging growth company and we cannot be certain if the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies will make our common stock less attractive to investors.
We are an emerging growth company and we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies, including not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. If we choose not to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, our auditors will not be required to attest to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. As a result, investors may become less comfortable with the effectiveness of our internal controls and the risk that material weaknesses or other deficiencies in our internal controls go undetected may increase. If we choose to provide reduced disclosures in our periodic reports and proxy statements while we are an emerging growth company, investors would have access to less information and analysis about our executive compensation, which may make it difficult for investors to evaluate our executive compensation practices. We cannot predict if investors will find our common stock less attractive because we may rely on these exemptions and provide reduced disclosure. If some investors find our common stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our common stock and our stock price may be more volatile.
Our revenue may be harmed if we are required to pay transaction taxes on all or a portion of our past and future transfers in jurisdictions where we are currently not collecting and reporting tax.
We currently only pay transaction taxes in certain jurisdictions in which we do business. We do not separately collect other transaction taxes. A successful assertion by any state, local jurisdiction or country in which we do not pay such taxes that we should be paying sales or other transaction taxes on our services, or the imposition of new laws requiring the payment of sales or other transaction taxes on our services, could result in substantial tax liabilities related to past transactions, create increased administrative burdens or costs, discourage consumers from using our services, decrease our ability to compete or otherwise harm our business and results of operations.
32
New tax treatment of companies engaged in online money transfer may harm the commercial use of our services and our financial results.
Due to the global nature of the Internet, it is possible that various states or foreign countries might attempt to regulate our money transfers or levy sales, income or other taxes relating to our activities. Tax authorities at the international, federal, state and local levels are currently reviewing the appropriate treatment of companies engaged in Internet commerce in general. New or revised international, federal, state or local tax regulations may subject us or our customers to additional sales, income and other taxes. We cannot predict the effect of current attempts to impose sales, income or other taxes on commerce over the Internet. New or revised taxes would likely increase the cost of doing business online and decrease the attractiveness of using our Internet services. New taxes could also create significant increases in internal costs necessary to capture data, and collect and remit taxes. Any of these events could harm our business and results of operations.
Our ability to use net operating loss carryforwards to reduce future tax payments may be limited by provisions of the Internal Revenue Code.
As of December 31, 2011, we had net operating loss carryforwards for federal and state income tax purposes of approximately $53.2 million and $50.8 million, respectively. The annual use of our net operating losses may be limited following certain ownership changes under provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and applicable state tax law. We have not completed a study to assess whether an ownership change will occur as a result of this offering, or whether there have been one or more ownership changes since our inception, due to the costs and complexities associated with such study. Accordingly, our ability to use our net operating loss carryforwards to reduce future tax payments may be currently limited or may be limited as a result of this offering or any future issuance of shares of our stock.
Changes or modifications in financial accounting standards may harm our results of operations.
From time to time, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, either alone or jointly with the International Accounting Standards Board, or IASB, promulgates new accounting principles that could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations. For example, the FASB is currently working together with the IASB to converge certain accounting principles and facilitate more comparable financial reporting between companies who are required to follow generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, and those who are required to follow International Financial Reporting Standards, or IFRS. These efforts may result in different accounting principles under GAAP, which may have a material impact on the way in which we report financial results in areas including, among others, revenue recognition and financial statement presentation. We expect the SEC to make a determination in the future regarding the incorporation of IFRS into the financial reporting system for U.S. companies. A change in accounting principles from GAAP to IFRS would be costly to implement and may have a material impact on our financial statements and may retroactively harm previously reported transactions.
Regulatory Risks Faced by Our Business
Our business is subject to a wide range of laws and regulations intended to help detect and prevent illegal or illicit activity and our failure, or the failure of one of our disbursement partners or payment processors to comply with those laws and regulations could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our services are subject to an increasingly strict set of legal and regulatory requirements intended to help detect and prevent money laundering, terrorist financing, fraud and other illicit activity. The interpretation of those requirements by judges, regulatory bodies and enforcement agencies is changing, often quickly and with little notice. Economic and trade sanctions programs that are administered by the U.S. Treasury Departments Office of Foreign Assets Control, or OFAC, prohibit or restrict transactions to or from or dealings with specified
33
countries, their governments, and in certain circumstances, with individuals and entities that are specially-designated nationals of those countries, narcotics traffickers and terrorists or terrorist organizations. As federal, state and foreign legislative regulatory scrutiny and enforcement action in these areas increase, we expect our costs to comply with these requirements will increase, perhaps substantially. Failure to comply with any of these requirements by us or our disbursement partners could result in the suspension or revocation of a money transmitter license, the limitation, suspension or termination of our services, the seizure and/or forfeiture of our assets and/or the imposition of civil and criminal penalties, including fines.
We are subject to reporting, recordkeeping and anti-money laundering provisions of the Bank Secrecy Act, as amended by the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001, or the Bank Secrecy Act, and to regulatory oversight. We are also subject to enforcement by the U.S. Department of the Treasury Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, or FinCEN, and U.S. state regulators, and to economic sanctions imposed by the United States which are overseen by OFAC.
Our subsidiary is also subject to regulations in India in addition to U.S. federal and state regulations. Pursuant to our Indian license, we must adhere to certain transaction limits for transfers to India, which are typically lower than our limits for transfers to other countries, and we are prohibited from sending funds to certain types of accounts, including certain accounts held by non-resident Indians. We believe transfers to such accounts constitute a material percentage of fund transfers from the United States to India by other money transfer providers. Additionally, Indian regulations require us to file reports relating to suspicious transactions that we are in the process of filing. If we are unable to file these reports in the required timeframes or in the appropriate manner, we may face penalties. We may also become subject to additional reporting, recordkeeping and anti-money laundering regulations as well as additional risks and obligations if we expand our business into new geographic regions.
We are also subject to regulations imposed by the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, or the FCPA, in the United States and similar laws in other countries which generally prohibit companies and those acting on their behalf from making improper payments to foreign government officials for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. Because our services are offered in 30 countries, we face a higher risk associated with FCPA compliance and similar statutes than many other companies. Any determination that we have violated these laws could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.
The foregoing laws and regulations are constantly evolving, unclear and inconsistent across various jurisdictions, making compliance challenging. If we fail to update our compliance system to reflect legislative or regulatory developments, we could incur penalties. New legislation, changes in laws or regulations, implementing rules and regulations, litigation, court rulings, changes in industry practices or standards, changes in systems rules or requirements or other similar events could expose us to increased compliance costs, liability, reputational damage, and could reduce the market value of our services or render them less profitable or obsolete.
Our business is subject to a variety of U.S. and foreign laws, many of which are unsettled and still developing, and many of which may contradict one another due to conflicting regulatory goals. Failure to comply with these laws could subject us to claims or otherwise harm our business.
The Xoom service is subject to a variety of laws in the United States and abroad that are continuously evolving and developing, including laws regarding data retention, privacy, anti-spam, consumer protection, payment processing and money transfers. The scope and interpretation of the various laws that are or may be applicable to us are often uncertain and may be conflicting, particularly regarding laws outside the United States. For example, we are subject to regulatory requirements to assist in the prevention of money laundering and terrorist financing, such as the Bank Secrecy Act and, pursuant to these legal obligations and authorizations, we make information available to certain U.S. federal, state and local, as well as foreign, government agencies when required by law. As a result of particular concern with respect to terrorist financing, these agencies have increased their requests for such information from money service businesses in recent years. At the same time, there has been increased public attention regarding the use and disclosure of personal information, and regulatory
34
authorities around the world are considering a number of legislative and regulatory proposals concerning data protection and consumer privacy and other matters that may be applicable to our business. The regulatory goals of preventing illegal activity, such as money laundering and terrorist financing, may conflict with the goal of protecting individual privacy. If federal, state or foreign governments or our disbursement partners changed requirements regarding the customer or recipient information we are required to collect, we may be unable to comply with such changes, or such changes could interfere with our ability to assess fraud or other risks, and our business could be harmed as a result. New laws and regulations may be enacted in connection with mobile transactions, including money transfers that are performed via smartphones.
Failure to comply with existing and future laws could result in fines, sanctions, penalties or other adverse consequences and loss of consumer confidence, which could harm our results of operations, business and reputation. While we believe that we are compliant with our regulatory responsibilities, the legal, political and business environments in these areas are rapidly changing, and subsequent legislation, regulation, litigation, court rulings or other events could expose us to increased liability, increased operating costs to implement new measures to reduce our exposure to this liability and reputational damage.
Our business could be harmed if a government were to levy taxes on money transfers, as has occurred in the past. The current budget shortfalls in many jurisdictions could lead other states and jurisdictions to impose similar fees and taxes, as well as increase unclaimed property obligations. A tax or fee exclusively on money transfer companies could put us at a competitive disadvantage to other means of remittance or payment transfers which may not be subject to the same fees or taxes. A change in the unclaimed property obligations could increase our regulatory burdens and costs related to our obligation to escheat unclaimed property to the states.
It is possible that governments of one or more countries may seek to censor content available on our website and mobile applications or may even attempt to completely block access to our website. Adverse legal or regulatory developments could harm our business. In particular, in the event that we are restricted, in whole or in part, from operating in one or more countries, our ability to retain or increase our customer base may be harmed and we may not be able to maintain or grow our revenue as anticipated.
Consumer advocacy groups or governmental agencies could also seek to change laws and regulations to seek greater protections for our money transfer customers, which could result in enhanced consumer disclosure, impact fees or exchange spreads, or require other different customer treatment. If consumer advocacy groups are able to generate widespread support for positions that are detrimental to our business, then our business, financial position and results of operations could be harmed.
We are subject to licensing and other requirements imposed by U.S. state regulators, the U.S. federal government and the government of India. If we were found to be subject to or in violation of any laws or regulations governing money transmitters, we could lose our licenses, be subject to liability or be forced to change our business practices.
A number of states have enacted legislation regulating money transmitters. To date, we have obtained licenses to operate as a money transmitter in 42 U.S. states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico and have applied, or plan to apply, for money transmitter licenses in additional states. Our subsidiary holds a money transmitter license in India and a license in one U.S. state. Our subsidiary is a regulated entity in India, and we must renew our license to operate every two years, with our next renewal scheduled for January 2013. If regulators were to revoke or decline to renew our subsidiarys license to operate in India, we may be required to stop doing business in India, which would harm our business and results of operations. We and our subsidiary are also registered as money services businesses with FinCEN. As a licensed money transmitter, we are subject to bonding requirements, liquidity requirements, restrictions on our investment of customer funds, reporting requirements and inspection by state and foreign regulatory agencies. If our pending applications were denied or if additional states or jurisdictions require us to apply for a license, we could be forced to change our business practice or required to bear substantial cost to comply with the requirements of the additional states or
35
jurisdictions. If we were found to be subject to and in violation of any banking or money services laws or regulations, we could be subject to liability or additional restrictions, such as increased liquidity requirements. In addition, our licenses could be revoked or we could be forced to cease doing business or change our practices in certain states or jurisdictions, or be required to obtain additional licenses or regulatory approvals that could impose a substantial cost on us. Regulators could also impose other regulatory orders and sanctions on us. Any change to our business practices that makes our service less attractive to customers or prohibits use of our services by residents of a particular jurisdiction could decrease our transaction volume and harm our business.
The Dodd-Frank Act, as well as the regulations required by the Dodd-Frank Act, and the creation of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau could harm us and the scope of our activities, and could harm our operations, results of operations and financial condition.
The Dodd-Frank Act, which became law in the United States on July 21, 2010, calls for significant structural reforms and new substantive regulation across the financial services industry. In addition, the Dodd-Frank Act created the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, or the CFPB, whose purpose is to issue and enforce consumer protection initiatives governing financial products and services, including money transfer services. The CFPB will create additional regulatory oversight for us. The Dodd-Frank Act and actions by the CFPB could have a significant impact on us by, for example, requiring us to limit or change our business practices, limiting our ability to pursue business opportunities, requiring us to invest valuable management time and resources in compliance efforts, imposing additional costs on us, limiting fees we can charge for services, requiring us to meet more stringent capital requirements, impacting the value of our assets, delaying our ability to respond to marketplace changes, requiring us to alter our services in a manner that would make them less attractive to consumers and impair our ability to offer them profitably, or requiring us to make other changes that could harm our business.
The CFPB has recently issued regulations implementing the remittance provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act. These regulations, which we expect to become effective in the spring of 2013, will impact our business in a variety of areas as described elsewhere in these risk factors. These requirements and other potential changes under CFPB regulations could harm our operations and financial results and change the way we operate our business.
We may also be subject to examination by the CFPB, which has broad authority to enforce consumer financial laws. In July 2011, many consumer financial protection functions formerly assigned to the federal banking agency and other agencies were transferred to the CFPB. The CFPB has a large budget and staff and has broad authority with respect to our money transfer service and related business. It is authorized to collect fines and provide consumer restitution in the event of violations, engage in consumer financial education, track consumer complaints, request data and promote the availability of financial services to underserved consumers and communities. In addition, the CFPB may adopt other regulations governing consumer financial services, including regulations defining unfair, deceptive or abusive acts or practices, and new model disclosures. The CFPBs authority to change regulations adopted in the past by other regulators, or to rescind or alter past regulatory guidance, could increase our compliance costs and litigation exposure.
The Dodd-Frank Act establishes a Financial Stability Oversight Counsel that is authorized to designate as systemically important non-bank financial companies and payment systems. Companies designated under either standard will become subject to new regulation and regulatory supervision. If we were designated under either standard, the additional regulatory and supervisory requirements could result in costly new compliance burdens or may require changes in the way we conduct business that could harm our business.
The effect of the Dodd-Frank Act and the CFPB on our business and operations will be significant, in part because some of the Dodd-Frank Acts implementing regulations have not been issued and the function and scope of the CFPB, the reactions of our competitors and the responses of consumers and other marketplace participants are uncertain.
36
New remittance rules adopted by the CFPB, which we expect to become effective in the spring of 2013, could harm us and the scope of our activities, and could harm our operations, results of operations and financial condition.
The CFPB has issued new remittance regulations that we expect to go into effect in the spring of 2013. Among other things, these regulations require money transmitters to disclose to customers, at the time of their transaction, certain transaction details, such as any fees charged, the foreign exchange rate and the amount of money to be disbursed to the recipient. Money transmitters must also provide the customer with a receipt, and inform the customer as to the date on which the money will be available to the recipient. In addition, the regulations require money transmitters to provide refunds to customers within certain timeframes and create a customer complaint process, according to which money transmitters must investigate certain notices of error according to certain timeframes. While we already comply with many of the new remittance regulations, we do not currently comply with all of them. For example, we do not currently provide a date when the funds will be available to the recipient. Additionally, our scheduled transfer product allows customers to set up a transaction for a date in the future, but we are not able to provide the foreign exchange rate for a future scheduled transfer. The CFPB rules may require money transmitters to provide an exchange rate for transactions scheduled fewer than five business days from authorization. As a result, we may need to alter our scheduled transfer product prior to the spring of 2013 to prohibit transactions that are scheduled within five business days of their authorization.
If we are unable to comply with all of the new remittance regulations by the date such regulations are effective, our business could be harmed. These regulations and other potential changes under CFPB regulations could harm our operations, results of operations and financial condition and change the way we operate our business.
Our disbursement partners generally are regulated institutions in their home jurisdiction, and money transfers are regulated by governments in both the United States and in the jurisdiction of the recipient. If our disbursement partners fail to comply with applicable laws, it could harm our business.
Money transfers are regulated by state, federal and foreign governments. Many of our disbursement partners are banks and are heavily regulated by their home jurisdictions. Our non-bank disbursement partners are also subject to money transfer regulations. We require regulatory compliance as a condition to our continued relationship, perform due diligence on our disbursement partners and monitor them periodically with the goal of meeting regulatory expectations. However, there are limits to the extent to which we can monitor their regulatory compliance. Any determination that our disbursement partners or their sub-disbursement partners have violated laws and regulations could seriously damage our reputation, resulting in diminished revenue and profit and increased operating costs. While our services are not directly regulated by governments outside the United States, except with respect to our subsidiary which is regulated by the Indian government, it is possible that in some cases we could be liable for the failure of our disbursement partners or their sub-disbursement partners to comply with laws, which also could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We process, store and use personal information and other data, which subjects us to governmental regulation and other legal obligations related to privacy. Our actual or perceived failure to comply with such obligations could harm our business.
We receive, store and process personal information and other customer data, including bank account numbers, credit and debit card information, identification numbers and images of government identification cards. As a result, we are required to comply with the privacy provisions of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999, or the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, and the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard. There are also numerous other federal, state and local laws around the world regarding privacy and the storing, sharing, use, processing, disclosure and protection of personal information and other customer data, the scope of which are changing, subject to differing interpretations, and may be inconsistent between countries or conflict with other
37
applicable rules. It is possible that these obligations may be interpreted and applied in a manner that is inconsistent from one jurisdiction to another and may conflict with other rules or our business practices. Additionally, with advances in computer capabilities and data protection requirements to address ongoing threats, we may be required to expend significant capital and other resources to protect against potential security breaches or to alleviate problems caused by security breaches.
Any failure or perceived failure by us to comply with our privacy policies, our privacy-related obligations to customers or other third parties, or our privacy-related legal obligations, or any compromise of security that results in the unauthorized release or transfer of personally identifiable information or other customer data, may result in governmental enforcement actions, fines or litigation. If there is a breach of credit or debit card information that we store, we could also be liable to the issuing banks for their cost of issuing new cards and related expenses. In addition, a significant breach could result in our being prohibited from processing transactions for any of the relevant network organizations, such as Visa or MasterCard, which would harm our business. If any third parties with whom we work, such as marketing partners, vendors or developers, violate applicable laws or our policies, such violations may put our customers information at risk and could harm our business. Any negative publicity arising out of a data breach or failure to comply with applicable privacy requirements could damage our reputation and cause our customers to lose trust in us, which could harm our business, results of operations, financial position and potential for growth.
Public scrutiny of Internet privacy issues may result in increased regulation and different industry standards, which could deter or prevent us from providing our current services to our customers, thereby harming our business.
The regulatory framework for privacy issues worldwide is currently in flux and is likely to remain so for the foreseeable future. Practices regarding the collection, use, storage, transmission and security of personal information by companies operating over the Internet have recently come under increased public scrutiny. The U.S. government, including the Federal Trade Commission, or FTC, and the Department of Commerce, has announced that it is reviewing the need for greater regulation for the collection of information concerning consumer behavior on the Internet, including regulation aimed at restricting certain targeted advertising practices. Various government and consumer agencies have also called for new regulation and changes in industry practices. These data protection laws may be interpreted and applied inconsistently.
While we do not sell or share personally identifiable information with third parties for direct marketing purposes, we do have relationships with third parties that may allow them access to customer information for other purposes. For example, when we outsource functions such as customer support, tracking and reporting, and payment processing to other companies, we make customer information available to those companies to the extent necessary for them to provide their services. We believe our policies and practices comply with the FTC privacy guidelines and other applicable laws and regulations. However, if our belief proves incorrect, if there are changes to the guidelines, laws or regulations or their interpretation, or if new regulations are enacted that are inconsistent with our current business practices, our business could be harmed. We may be required to change our business practices, services or privacy policy, reconsider any plans to expand internationally, or obtain additional consents from our customers before collecting or using their information, among other changes. Changes like these could increase our operating costs and make it more difficult for customers to use our services, resulting in less revenue. Additionally, data collection, privacy and security have become the subject of increasing public concern. If Internet users were to reduce their use of our services as a result, our business could be harmed.
Risks Related to this Offering and Ownership of our Common Stock
There is no existing market for our common stock and we do not know if one will develop to provide our stockholders adequate liquidity.
There has not been a public trading market for shares of our common stock prior to this offering. An active trading market may not develop or be sustained after this offering. The initial public offering price for the shares of
38
our common stock sold in this offering will be determined by negotiations between us and representatives of the underwriters. This price may not be indicative of the price at which our common stock will trade after this offering.
Our stock price may be volatile and you may be unable to sell your shares at or above the offering price.
The market price of our common stock could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to, among other things, the risk factors described in this section of this prospectus, and other factors beyond our control, such as fluctuations in the valuation of companies perceived by investors to be comparable to us.
The stock markets have experienced price and volume fluctuations that have affected and continue to affect the market prices of equity securities of many companies. These fluctuations often have been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of those companies. These broad market and industry fluctuations, as well as general economic, political and market conditions, such as recessions, interest rate changes or international currency fluctuations, may harm the market price of our common stock.
In the past, many companies that have experienced volatility in the market price of their stock have been subject to securities class action litigation. We may become the target of this type of litigation in the future. Securities litigation against us could result in substantial costs and divert our managements attention from other business concerns, which could harm our business.
If research analysts do not publish research about our business or if they issue unfavorable commentary or downgrade our common stock, our stock price and trading volume could decline.
The trading market for our common stock will depend in part on the research and reports that research analysts publish about us and our business. If we do not establish and maintain adequate research coverage or if one or more analysts who covers us downgrades our stock or publishes inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, the price of our common stock could decline. If one or more of the research analysts ceases to cover us or fails to publish reports on us regularly, demand for our common stock could decrease, which could cause our stock price or trading volume to decline.
Our principal stockholders, executive officers and directors own a significant percentage of our stock and will continue to have significant control of our management and affairs after the offering, and they can take actions that may be against your best interests.
Following the completion of this offering, and excluding any purchases of our common stock in this offering and after giving effect to the sale of shares by the selling stockholders, our executive officers and directors, and entities that are affiliated with them, will beneficially own an aggregate of % of our outstanding common stock. This significant concentration of stock ownership may adversely affect the trading price for our common stock because investors often perceive disadvantages in owning stock in companies with controlling stockholders. Also, as a result, these stockholders, acting together, may be able to control our management and affairs and other matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors and approval of significant corporate transactions, such as mergers, consolidations or the sale of substantially all of our assets. Consequently, this concentration of ownership may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control, including a merger, consolidation or other business combination involving us, or discouraging a potential acquirer from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control, even if such a change in control would benefit our other stockholders.
Our stock price could decline due to the large number of outstanding shares of our common stock eligible for future sale.
Sales of substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market following this offering, or the perception that these sales could occur, could cause the market price of our common stock to decline. These sales
39
could also make it more difficult for us to sell equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and price that we deem appropriate.
Assuming completion of this offering, as of September 30, 2012, we would have had an aggregate of shares of common stock outstanding, assuming no exercise of the underwriters over-allotment option and no exercise of outstanding options or warrants. The shares sold pursuant to this offering will be immediately tradable without restriction. Of the remaining shares:
| no shares will be eligible for sale immediately upon completion of this offering; and |
| shares will be eligible for sale upon the expiration of lock-up agreements, subject in some cases to volume and other restrictions of Rule 144 and Rule 701 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act. |
The number of shares eligible for sale upon expiration of lock-up agreements assumes the conversion of all outstanding shares of our preferred stock into an aggregate of 21,444,251 shares of common stock on a one-for-one basis.
The lock-up agreements expire 180 days after the date of this prospectus, subject to potential extension in the event we release earnings results or material news or a material event relating to us occurs near the end of the lock-up period. Barclays Capital Inc., as representative of the underwriters, may, in their discretion and at any time, release all or any portion of the securities subject to lock-up agreements. After the completion of this offering, we intend to register approximately shares of our common stock that have been issued or reserved for future issuance under our equity incentive plans. Once we register the offer and sale of shares for the holders of registration rights and option holders, they can be freely sold in the public market upon issuance, subject to the lock-up agreements or unless they are held by affiliates, as that term is defined in Rule 144 of the Securities Act.
We may also issue shares of our common stock or securities convertible into our common stock from time to time in connection with a financing, acquisition or otherwise. Any such issuance could result in substantial dilution to our existing stockholders and cause the trading price of our common stock to decline.
Because our initial public offering price is substantially higher than the pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share of our outstanding common stock, new investors will incur immediate and substantial dilution.
The initial public offering price is substantially higher than the pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share of our common stock based on the expected total value of our total assets, less our goodwill and other intangible assets, less our total liabilities immediately following this offering. Our pro forma net tangible book value per share as of September 30, 2012 was $2.19 and our pro forma net tangible book value per share after this offering will be $ , assuming an initial public offering price of $ per share. Therefore, if you purchase shares of our common stock in this offering, you will experience immediate and substantial dilution of $ per share in the price you pay for our common stock as compared to the pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value as of September 30, 2012. To the extent outstanding options or warrants to purchase common stock are exercised, there will be further dilution. For a further description of the dilution that you will experience immediately after this offering, see Dilution.
Our management has broad discretion in the use of the net proceeds from this offering and our use of the net proceeds may not produce a positive rate of return.
Our management will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds of this offering. We cannot specify with certainty the uses to which we will apply the net proceeds we will receive from this offering and cannot assure you that our management will apply the net proceeds from this offering in ways that improve
40
our results of operations or increase the value of your investment. The failure by our management to apply these funds in a manner that produces a positive rate of return could harm our ability to continue to maintain and expand our business, which could cause our stock price to decline.
We currently do not intend to pay dividends on our common stock and, consequently, an investors only opportunity to achieve a return on the investment is if the price of our common stock appreciates.
We currently do not plan to declare dividends on shares of our common stock in the foreseeable future. See Dividend Policy for more information. Consequently, an investors only opportunity to achieve a return on the investment in us will be if the market price of our common stock appreciates and the investor sells shares at a profit. There is no guarantee that the price of our common stock that will prevail in the market after this offering will ever exceed the price that an investor pays.
Certain provisions of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws and of Delaware law could prevent a takeover that stockholders consider favorable and could also reduce the market price of our stock.
Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and our amended and restated bylaws, which will be effective upon completion of this offering, contain provisions that could delay or prevent a merger, acquisition or other change in control that stockholders may consider favorable, including transactions in which stockholders might otherwise receive a premium for their shares. These provisions may also prevent or delay attempts by stockholders to replace or remove our current management or members of our board of directors. These provisions include:
| providing for a classified board of directors with staggered three-year terms, which could delay the ability of stockholders to change the membership of a majority of our board of directors; |
| not providing for cumulative voting in the election of directors, which limits the ability of minority stockholders to elect director candidates; |
| authorizing our board of directors to issue, without stockholder approval, preferred stock rights senior to those of common stock, which could be used to significantly dilute the ownership of a hostile acquiror; |
| prohibiting stockholder action by written consent, which forces stockholder action to be taken at an annual or special meeting of our stockholders; |
| limiting the persons who may call special meetings of stockholders, which could delay the ability of our stockholders to force consideration of a proposal or to take action, including the removal of directors; and |
| requiring advance notification of stockholder nominations and proposals, which may discourage or deter a potential acquiror from conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect the acquirors own slate of directors or otherwise attempting to obtain control of us. |
The affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66 2/3% of our shares of capital stock entitled to vote is generally necessary to amend or repeal the above provisions that are contained in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation. Also, absent approval of our board of directors, our amended and restated by-laws may only be amended or repealed by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66 2/3% of our shares of capital stock entitled to vote.
In addition, we will be subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law upon completion of this offering. These provisions may prohibit large stockholders, in particular those owning 15% or more of our outstanding common stock, from engaging in certain business combinations without approval of substantially all of our stockholders for a certain period of time.
41
These and other provisions in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, our amended and restated bylaws and under Delaware law could discourage potential takeover attempts, reduce the price that investors might be willing to pay for shares of our common stock in the future and result in the market price being lower than it would be without these provisions. See Description of Capital StockPreferred Stock and Description of Capital StockAnti-takeover Effects of Our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws and Delaware Law.

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This prospectus contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws, which statements involve substantial risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements generally relate to future events or our future financial or operating performance. You can generally identify forward-looking statements because they contain words such as may, will, should, expects, plans, anticipates, could, intends, target, projects, contemplates, believes, estimates, predicts, potential or continue or the negative of these terms or other similar expressions that concern our expectations, strategy, plans or intentions. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and trends that we believe may affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. The outcome of the events described in these forward-looking statements is subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors described in Risk Factors and elsewhere in this prospectus. Accordingly, you should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. We cannot assure you that the results, events and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements will be achieved or occur, and actual results, events or circumstances could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus include statements about:
| our expectations related to the use of proceeds from this offering; |
| expected growth in the markets for money transfer services; |
| our ability to compete with other companies that are developing or selling services that are competitive with our services; |
| our expectations regarding mobile usage of our services; |
| our ability to grow our active customer base; |
| our plans to continue to invest in and develop technology and services for our markets; |

We caution you that the foregoing list may not contain all of the forward-looking statements made in this prospectus. In addition, in light of these risks and uncertainties, the matters referred to in the forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus may not occur.
The forward-looking statements made in this prospectus relate only to events as of the date on which the statements are made. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which the statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. We may not actually achieve the plans, intentions or expectations disclosed in our forward-looking statements and you should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements. Our forward-looking statements do not reflect the potential impact of any future acquisitions, mergers, dispositions, joint ventures or investments we may make. We do not assume any obligation to update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.
This prospectus also contains statistical data, estimates and forecasts that are based on independent industry publications or other publicly available information, while other information is based on our internal sources. Although we believe that these third-party sources referred to in this prospectus are reliable, neither we nor the underwriters have independently verified the information provided by these third parties. While we are not aware of any misstatements regarding any third-party information presented in this prospectus, their estimates, in particular, as they relate to projections, involve numerous assumptions, are subject to risks and uncertainties, and are subject to change based on various factors, including those discussed under Risk Factors.
43
We estimate that the net proceeds from the sale of shares of our common stock that we are selling in this offering will be approximately $ million, based on an assumed initial public offering price of $ per share, which is the midpoint of the estimated offering price range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, and after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us. If the underwriters option to purchase additional shares from us is exercised in full, we estimate that we will receive additional net proceeds of $ million. A $1.00 increase (decrease) in the assumed initial public offering price would increase (decrease) the net proceeds we received from the offering by approximately $ million, assuming the number of shares offered by us remains the same and after deducting the estimated underwriting discounts and commissions. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares of our common stock by the selling stockholders.
The principal purposes of this offering are to obtain additional capital, to create a public market for our common stock and to facilitate our future access to the public equity markets. We plan to invest the net proceeds in short-term, investment-grade, interest-bearing securities such as money market accounts, certificates of deposit, commercial paper or guaranteed obligations of the U.S. government. We currently intend to use the net proceeds received by us from this offering primarily for working capital and also for general corporate purposes. We may also use a portion of the net proceeds received by us from this offering for acquisitions of complementary businesses, technologies or other assets. We have not entered into any agreements or commitments with respect to any specific acquisitions and have no understandings or agreements with respect to any such acquisition or investment at this time. We cannot specify with certainty the particular uses for the net proceeds to be received by us from this offering. Accordingly, our management team will have broad discretion in using the net proceeds to be received by us from this offering.
We have never declared or paid cash dividends on our common stock. We currently intend to retain any future earnings and do not expect to pay any dividends in the foreseeable future. Any determination to pay dividends in the future will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will be dependent on a number of factors, including our earnings, capital requirements and overall financial condition.

The following table sets forth our cash and cash equivalents, disbursement prefunding and short-term investments and capitalization as of September 30, 2012, on:
| an actual basis; |
| on a pro forma basis to reflect the automatic conversion of all outstanding shares of our preferred stock on a one-for-one basis into 21,444,251 shares of our common stock, based on the terms of our certificate of incorporation as currently in effect and the filing of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, each of which will occur immediately prior to the closing of this offering; and |
| on a pro forma as adjusted basis to reflect the conversion of our preferred stock and the filing of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation discussed in the prior bullet and the receipt of the net proceeds from the sale of shares of common stock offered by us in this offering, at an assumed initial public offering price of $ per share, which is the midpoint of the estimated offering price range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us. |

A $1.00 increase (decrease) in the assumed initial public offering price of $ per share, which is the mid-point of the estimated offering price range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, would increase (decrease) our pro forma as adjusted cash and cash equivalents, disbursement prefunding and short-term investments, additional paid-in capital, total stockholders equity and total capitalization by approximately $ million, assuming that the number of shares offered by us, as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, remains the same, and after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions.
The number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding actual, pro forma and pro forma as adjusted in the table above excludes the following shares:
| 6,688,211 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of stock options outstanding as of September 30, 2012, and having a weighted-average exercise price of $4.97 per share; |
| 35,778 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding warrants at a weighted-average exercise price of $4.84 per share; and |
| 3,058,117 shares of our common stock reserved for future issuance under our stock-based compensation plans as of September 30, 2012, consisting of 58,117 shares of common stock reserved for issuance under our 2010 Stock Option and Grant Plan and, subject to and effective upon the closing of the offering, 3,000,000 shares of common stock reserved for issuance under our 2012 Stock Option and Incentive Plan, and any future increase in shares reserved for issuance under such plans. |
46
If you invest in our common stock in this offering, your interest will be diluted immediately to the extent of the difference between the initial offering price per share of our common stock and the pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share of our common stock after this offering. Our pro forma net tangible book value as of September 30, 2012 was $58.0 million, or $2.19 per share of common stock. Pro forma net tangible book value per share represents the amount of our total tangible assets less our total liabilities, divided by the number of shares of common stock outstanding, as of September 30, 2012, after giving effect to the conversion of all outstanding shares of our convertible preferred stock into 21,444,251 shares of our common stock, which we expect to occur immediately prior to the closing of this offering.
After giving effect to the sale by us of shares of common stock in this offering at an assumed initial public offering price of $ per share, which is the midpoint of the estimated offering price range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, and after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us, our pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value as of September 30, 2012 would have been $ million, or $ per share. This amount represents an immediate increase in pro forma net tangible book value of $ per share to our existing stockholders and an immediate dilution in pro forma net tangible book value of approximately $ per share to new investors purchasing shares of common stock in this offering at the assumed initial public offering price.

SELECTED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL AND OTHER DATA
The following selected consolidated financial and other data regarding our business should be read in conjunction with, and are qualified by reference to, Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and our consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this prospectus. We derived the consolidated statement of operations data for 2009, 2010 and 2011, as well as the consolidated balance sheet data as of December 31, 2010 and 2011 from our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus. We derived the audited consolidated statement of operations data for 2007 and 2008 as well as the audited consolidated balance sheet data at December 31, 2007, 2008 and 2009 from our audited consolidated financial statements not included in this prospectus. We derived the unaudited consolidated statement of operations data for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2012 as well as the unaudited consolidated balance sheet data at September 30, 2012 from our unaudited interim consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus. The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements and reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial information set forth in those statements. Our historical results are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected in any future period, and results for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2012 or any other period.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted EBITDA
To provide investors with additional information regarding our financial results, we have disclosed in the table below and within this prospectus adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure. We have provided a reconciliation below between adjusted EBITDA and net loss, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.
We have included adjusted EBITDA in this prospectus because it is a key measure used by our management to evaluate our operating performance, generate future operating plans and make strategic decisions. Accordingly, we believe that adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management and board of directors.
While we believe that this non-GAAP financial measure is useful in evaluating our business, this information should be considered as supplemental in nature and is not meant as a substitute for the related financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Some of these limitations are:
| although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future; |
| adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; |
| adjusted EBITDA does not include the impact of stock-based compensation; |
| adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the impact of income taxes that may represent a reduction in cash available to us; and |
| other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate adjusted EBITDA differently or not at all, which reduces its usefulness as a comparative measure. |
We believe it is useful to exclude non-cash charges, such as depreciation and amortization and stock-based compensation, from our adjusted EBITDA because the amount of such expenses in any specific period may not directly correlate to the underlying performance of our business operations.
Because of the aforementioned limitations, you should consider adjusted EBITDA alongside other financial performance measures, including net loss, cash flow metrics and our financial results presented in accordance with GAAP. The following table presents a reconciliation of net loss to adjusted EBITDA for each of the periods indicated (unaudited):

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included elsewhere in this prospectus. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include those discussed below and elsewhere in this prospectus, particularly in Risk Factors.
Xoom is a pioneer and leader in the online consumer-to-consumer international money transfer industry. Our customers use Xoom to send money to family and friends in 30 countries. Since January 1, 2007, our customers have used Xoom to send $5.8 billion, including $1.7 billion in 2011 and $2.3 billion in the nine months ended September 30, 2012. We believe we are creating significant value for our customers by providing a convenient, fast and cost-effective solution for international money transfers.
We believe our business model is characterized by sustainable revenue from a growing base of active customers, creating attractive per unit economics and operating leverage. We expect to continue to grow this customer base through increased marketing investment.
Although we are not a traditional subscription business, we operate our business and forecast our revenue similar to a subscription-based business model. This similarity is demonstrated by the predictable and recurring revenue from our active customers. The following graph identifies the quarterly gross sending volume by the year in which we originally acquired the customer and demonstrates a meaningful amount of stable recurring sending volume from active customers:
Gross Sending Volume By Year of Customer Acquisition

Key Metrics
In addition to the line items in our financial statements, we regularly review the following key metrics to evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends in our business, prepare financial projections, make strategic business decisions, and assess marketing program efficacy, market share trends and working capital needs. We believe information on these metrics is useful for investors to understand the underlying trends in our business. The following table presents our key operating and financial metrics for the periods presented (unaudited):

Gross Sending Volume. We define gross sending volume, or GSV, as the total principal amount of funds sent by our customers in a given period, which does not include our fees. A percentage of GSV does not ultimately get paid out to recipients due to customer cancellations, our risk management decisions and customer error. In the periods presented, this percentage has ranged from 2.75% to 3.50%. Our GSV increased 105% for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to the same period in the prior year, 99% for 2011 and 72% for 2010. Some of our customers transact more depending on the value of the local currency relative to the U.S. dollar. For example, amongst our Indian customers, we saw an increase in activity in the three months ended June 30, 2012 due to a weakening Indian rupee and a decrease in activity in the three months ended September 30, 2012 due to a strengthening Indian rupee.
Transactions. This represents the total number of transactions sent by our customers in a given period. A small percentage of transactions do not ultimately get paid out to recipients due to customer cancellations, our risk management decisions and customer error. Our transactions increased 66% for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to the same period in the prior year, 43% for 2011 and 26% for 2010.
Active Customers. We define active customers as the number of customers who have sent at least one transaction during a trailing twelve month period. A new customer with one transaction during a trailing twelve month period would also be included as an active customer in the same period. Our active customers increased 57% for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to the same period in the prior year, 32% for 2011 and 30% for 2010.
New Customers. We define new customers as those customers who have sent their first transaction in a given period. Our new customers increased 53% for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to the same period in the prior year, 29% for 2011 and 10% for 2010.
Cost Per Acquisition of a New Customer. We calculate cost per acquisition of a new customer, or CPA, in a reporting period as direct marketing cost, a portion of which is reflected in our cost of revenue, divided by new customers added in a given period. Our direct marketing cost does not include certain indirect marketing costs that are included in our marketing expense line item in our consolidated statements of operations. Examples of our indirect marketing costs include personnel-related costs, including stock-based compensation, and creative production costs.
Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that we calculate as net loss adjusted for provision for income taxes, interest expense, depreciation and amortization and stock-based
53
compensation. For a reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to net loss and an explanation of how management uses this metric, see Selected Consolidated Financial And Other Data.
Basis of Presentation
Revenue. We generate revenue from transaction fees charged to customers, and foreign exchange spreads on transactions where the payout currency is other than U.S. dollars. Our revenue is derived from each transaction and may vary based on the size of the transaction, the funding method used, the currency to ultimately be disbursed and the countries to which the funds are transferred. Revenue is recognized net of cancellations and refunds. Revenue growth will depend on our ability to retain active customers and attract new customers.
Cost of Revenue. Our cost of revenue includes fees to our disbursement partners for paying funds to the recipient, fees to our payment processors for funding our transactions, a provision for transaction losses and the promotional expenses to acquire new customers that are referees described below under Marketing Expense. We expect our cost of revenue to increase on an absolute basis for the foreseeable future as we continue to grow our business.
Marketing Expense. Our marketing expense consists of business development costs, television, print, online and promotional advertising costs to acquire new customers, employee compensation and related costs to support the marketing process and allocated facilities and other supporting overhead costs. During 2011, we introduced a new Refer-A-Friend incentive program where the referrer receives either a cash-type or non-cash award and the referee receives a non-cash award. Cash-type awards are considered to be cash-type because the referrer could use them as cash. The amount related to the referee is classified as cost of revenue for non-cash awards. Awards provided to the referrer are recorded in marketing expense as these payments are a reward for bringing a new customer to Xoom. We anticipate our marketing expense will vary from period to period due to the timing of when such programs occur.
Technology and Development Expense. Our technology and development expense consists of employee compensation and related costs for our engineers and developers, professional services and consulting, costs related to the development of new technologies, costs associated with the enhancements of existing technologies, amortization of capitalized internally-developed software and allocated facilities and other supporting overhead costs. Internally-developed software costs are a combination of internal compensation costs of engineering time and costs of outside consultants and primarily relate to the development of specific enhancements such as the development of our mobile application. We intend to continue to invest in technology and development efforts to further improve our customer experience and to continue expanding our operating platform. As a result, we expect technology and development expense to increase on an absolute basis for the foreseeable future.
Customer Service and Operations Expense. Our customer service and operations expense consists of outsourced customer call centers, employee compensation for our employees who support customer service calls, costs incurred for fraud detection, compliance operations, maintenance costs related to our outsourced customer call centers and allocated facilities and other supporting overhead costs. We expect customer service and operations expense to increase on an absolute basis for the foreseeable future to support the anticipated growth of our business.
General and Administrative Expense. Our general and administrative expense consists of employee compensation and related costs for our executives, finance, legal, compliance policy, human resources and other administrative employees, outside consulting, legal and accounting services and facilities and other supporting overhead costs not allocated to other departments. We expect to incur additional expenses associated with being a public company, including increased legal and accounting costs, compliance costs in connection with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and investor relations costs.
54
Other Income (Expense). Other income (expense) consists of interest earned on our cash and cash equivalents, investment income and losses and gains or losses on foreign currency balances held at month end.
Interest Expense. Interest expense represents interest incurred in connection with outstanding borrowings under our line of credit.
Provision for Income Taxes. Provision for income taxes consists of federal and state income taxes in the United States. We have not been required to pay U.S. federal income taxes to date because of our current and accumulated net operating losses which totaled $53.2 million as of December 31, 2011. Since inception, we have only been required to pay minimal state income taxes. In the event we expand our operations outside the United States, we will become subject to foreign taxes and our effective tax rate could change accordingly.

Revenue |
$ | 34,446 | $ | 57,854 | 68 | % |
In the nine months ended September 30, 2012, revenue increased $23.4 million, or 68%, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The increase was primarily due to a 57% increase in active customers, which includes 302,459 new customers added during the nine months ended September 30, 2012. Revenue grew at a faster rate than the increase in our active customers because nine-month revenue per average active customer increased from $81 to $93, or 15%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to the same period in the prior year. This increase was due to changes in the mix of countries we serve toward those with a higher average transaction amount.

In the nine months ended September 30, 2012, cost of revenue increased $7.0 million, or 56%, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The increase in cost of revenue was driven by a $3.0 million increase to $11.7 million in processing and disbursement costs to support the 66% increase in transactions, a $2.3 million increase to $5.7 million in the provision for transaction losses due to the increase in our GSV and an additional $1.7 million in costs related to the Refer-A-Friend and other incentive programs. The decrease in cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue and corresponding increase in gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was primarily a result of a reduction in processing costs due to more active customers funding their money transfers via bank account, which is less costly to us than if they fund via credit or debit card. Further, we experienced a reduction in our processing costs as a result of the Durbin Amendment to the Dodd-Frank Act, which resulted in lower debit card fees beginning in the fourth quarter of 2011.

In the nine months ended September 30, 2012, marketing expense increased $6.3 million, or 64%, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The increase was primarily due to an expansion of our marketing programs to drive increased customer acquisition, including increasing television, online and incentive promotions by $5.8 million to $13.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2012. Our Refer-A-Friend incentive program contributed $1.8 million of this increase. As stated in Cost of Revenue above, marketing expenses in this line item do not reflect certain marketing expenses related to our Refer-A-Friend incentive program that we recognize under cost of revenue. The remaining increase was due to personnel-related costs (including stock-based compensation).

The increase was primarily the result of an increase in personnel-related costs of $4.3 million to $9.6 million (including stock-based compensation) due to an increase in headcount from 47 to 70 employees to expand and improve our service. The remaining increase was due to an increase in depreciation and amortization of $0.4 million and an increase in allocated overhead costs.

In the nine months ended September 30, 2012, general and administrative expense increased $2.6 million, or 70%, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

Interest Expense
In the nine months ended September 30, 2012, interest expense increased $0.6 million, as a result of the increase in average outstanding debt balances on our line of credit compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

2010 Compared to 2011. Revenue increased $17.2 million, or 52%, in 2011 as compared to 2010. The increase was primarily due to a 32% increase in active customers, which included 291,532 new customers added during 2011. Revenue grew at a faster rate than the increase in our active customers because the annual revenue per average active customer increased from $95 in 2010 to $110 in 2011, or 16%. This increase was due to changes in the mix of countries we serve toward those with a higher average transaction amount.
2009 Compared to 2010. Revenue increased $6.6 million, or 25%, in 2010 as compared to 2009. The increase was primarily due to a 30% increase in active customers, which included 225,949 new customers added during 2010.

2010 Compared to 2011. Cost of revenue increased $5.8 million, or 48%, in 2011 as compared to 2010. The increase in cost of revenue was primarily driven by a $2.7 million increase to $5.4 million in the provision for transaction losses due to the increase in our GSV, a $1.4 million increase to $11.9 million in processing and disbursement costs to support the 43% increase in transactions and an additional $0.8 million in costs related to the Refer-A-Friend incentive program. During 2010, we reduced the provision for transaction losses by $0.9 million due to lower than expected transaction losses, which further contributed to the increase in cost of revenue for 2011. Processing and disbursement costs did not increase at the same rate as the increase in revenue as more of our active customers funded their money transfers via bank accounts, which is less costly to us than if they fund via credit or debit card. Further, we experienced a reduction in our processing costs as a result of the Durbin Amendment to the Dodd-Frank Act, which resulted in lower debit card fees, beginning in the fourth quarter of 2011.
2009 Compared to 2010. Cost of revenue decreased $0.6 million, or 5%, in 2010 compared to 2009. As described above, we reduced the provision for transaction losses by $0.9 million to $1.8 million in 2010 due to lower than expected transaction losses, which contributed to the decrease in cost of revenue for 2010. This was partially offset by the increase in processing fees and disbursement costs to $10.4 million in 2010 to support the 26% increase in transactions in 2010.

2010 Compared to 2011. Marketing expense increased $2.7 million, or 23%, in 2011 as compared to 2010. The increase was primarily due to an expansion of our marketing programs to drive increased customer acquisition, including television, print, online and incentive promotions, of $1.7 million to $11.6 million. During 2011, we hired additional headcount to support our marketing initiatives which resulted in an additional $0.5 million of marketing expense. Our Refer-A-Friend incentive program contributed $0.3 million of the increase for 2011. As stated in Cost of Revenue above, marketing expenses in this line item do not reflect certain marketing expenses related to our Refer-A-Friend incentive program that we recognize under cost of revenue.
2009 Compared to 2010. Marketing expense increased $3.5 million, or 43%, in 2011 as compared to 2010. The increase was primarily due to an increase in advertising (both online and offline) which resulted in an incremental $2.8 million of marketing expense to $9.4 million for 2010 as compared to 2009. In addition, we hired additional headcount to support our marketing initiatives which resulted in an additional $0.5 million of expense.

We have experienced a 101% increase in quarterly revenue from the three months ended March 31, 2011 through our most recent three months ended September 30, 2012. We experience some seasonal trends in our business. Generally, revenue in our second and fourth quarters is stronger due to Mothers Day and Christmas when we tend to have an increased rate of activity from our active customers. In addition, some of our customers transact more depending on the value of the local currency relative to the U.S. dollar. We see this trend most clearly among our Indian customers, a subset of which is highly influenced by the value, or the perceived value, of the Indian rupee relative to the U.S. dollar. For example, we saw an increase in activity in the three months ended June 30, 2012 due to a weakening Indian rupee. Conversely, despite our strong operating results during the three months ended September 30, 2012, we saw a decrease in activity to India due to a strengthening Indian rupee, or the perception of a strengthening Indian rupee. We believe our business may become more seasonal in the future in terms of absolute dollars.
During the three months ended June 30, 2012, multiple factors contributed to the increase in GSV, including increased activity leading up to Mothers Day, and increased activity from a subset of our Indian customers, which we believe correlated to a weakening Indian rupee, or the perception of a weakening Indian rupee.
Our cost of revenue has increased in absolute dollars but has remained generally flat as a percentage of revenue. Our operating expenses have increased in absolute dollars as we continue to invest in service innovation and technology by hiring additional employees, and we continue to introduce new marketing programs to increase brand awareness. We continue to look for innovative and efficient marketing efforts and anticipate our marketing expense will vary from period to period due to the timing of when the programs occur. Marketing will continue to be our largest operating expense as a percentage of revenue as we seek to attract new customers.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Since inception, we have financed our operations and capital expenditures through the sale of preferred stock and, to a lesser extent, from borrowings. Our principal uses of cash are funding our operations and capital expenditures.
As of September 30, 2012, we had cash, cash equivalents, disbursement prefunding and short-term investments of $77.9 million, which consisted of cash, money market funds, U.S. government securities, commercial paper, certificates of deposit, corporate bonds, international government bonds and prefunded balances with some of our disbursement partners. All of our short-term investments are held at U.S. financial institutions.
The following table summarizes our cash and cash equivalents and disbursement prefunding as of the dates presented (in millions):

Foreign institutions |
10.8 | 30.1 | |
32.1 |
|
We hold cash at foreign financial institutions in order to prefund our disbursement partners. Our policy is generally to have relationships with multiple foreign institutions in each of our major markets so that our institutional risk is diversified. For example, we hold balances in the Philippines at eight different institutions. In India, all of our balances are held at one institution, Punjab National Bank, which is a large, state-owned bank. We generally review financial statements of our disbursement partners before commencing a business relationship with them, and annually thereafter, though such reviews may not mitigate all risk of loss. Certain of our balances in domestic and all of our balances in foreign institutions are uninsured. Our institutional losses of pre-funded balances have totaled less than $150,000 since our inception.
63
We experience significant day-to-day fluctuations in our cash and cash equivalents, disbursement prefunding and line of credit balances. These fluctuations are primarily due to:
| Fluctuations in daily GSV. As daily GSV increases, our cash and cash equivalents and disbursement prefunding amounts will increase in addition to an increase in our line of credit to fund these balances. Typically our cash, cash equivalents and disbursement prefunding balances at period end represent one to four days of disbursements to be made in the subsequent period; and |
| Timing of period end. For periods that end on a weekend or a bank holiday, our cash and cash equivalents and prefunding amounts typically will be more than for periods ending on a weekday as we fund these balances five days a week, but we disburse funds seven days a week. |
If a period ends on a weekend or holiday, our cash, cash equivalents and disbursement prefunding is generally higher than if the period ends on a business day, because we will then prefund our disbursement partners for the entire weekend or through the holiday instead of for one business day. As a result, we would need to draw down on our line of credit discussed below under Our Indebtedness, which would increase our cash, cash equivalents and disbursement prefunding balances. For example, September 30, 2012 fell on a Sunday and the line of credit balance was $40.5 million. However, if September 30, 2012 had fallen on a Tuesday, we would have prefunded our disbursement partners for only one business day and, consequently, cash, cash equivalents and disbursement prefunding balances would have been lower and the line of credit would have been closer to the required minimum loan balance of $25.0 million.
We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents, cash flow from operations, availability under our line of credit and the net proceeds we expect to receive from this offering will be sufficient to meet our working capital needs and planned capital expenditures for at least the next 12 months. From time to time, we may explore additional financing sources which could include equity, equity-linked and debt financing arrangements. We cannot assure you that any additional financing will be available to us on acceptable terms or at all.
Our Indebtedness
In October 2009, we entered into a line of credit agreement, or the Loan Agreement, with Silicon Valley Bank, or SVB, which was most recently amended in September 2012 to add a second lender and increase the available borrowing amount. The Loan Agreement allows for borrowings up to $80.0 million, bearing interest at the greater of prime plus 1.25% or 4.50%. The line of credit is scheduled to mature on September 19, 2014, at which time all outstanding borrowings would be due and payable. As part of the line of credit, we have a $10.0 million standby letter of credit which reduces the $80.0 million that we are allowed to borrow. At September 30, 2012, we were allowed to borrow up to $80.0 million. We had $29.5 million available under this facility, reflecting $40.5 million outstanding under our line of credit and $10.0 million outstanding under our letter of credit as of September 30, 2012. We were in compliance with all of our debt covenants as of September 30, 2012.
Cash Flows
We typically prefund our disbursement partners on each business day which allows the funds to be made available to our disbursement partners seconds or minutes after a customers transaction is processed. Our prefunding estimates are based on historical experiences with our customers and disbursement partners which vary depending on factors such as seasonality, the timing of bank holidays, weekends and paydays. These estimates incorporate assumptions surrounding the timing in which the customer funds receivables are settled and the customer liabilities are paid out. We often utilize our line of credit to satisfy short-term capital requirements over weekends or during bank holiday periods. We typically pay down the outstanding amount on the line of credit the first business day after the weekend or bank holiday period. Given these factors, we believe it is useful to review our cash flow in the aggregate to better understand the short-term flow of funds which can vary greatly depending on the timing of a weekend or bank holiday.

Investing Activities
Our primary investing activities have consisted of purchases, sales and maturities of short-term investments, purchases of property, equipment and software and changes in our restricted cash. Purchases of property and equipment may vary from period to period due to the timing of the expansion of our operations and website and internal-use software development. We expect to continue to invest in property and equipment and development of software for the remainder of 2012 and thereafter.
We used $10.5 million, $8.4 million and $3.8 million in 2010, 2011 and the nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, in net purchases of short-term investments. Cash provided by the net sale or maturity of short-term investments was $4.7 million and $6.9 million in 2009 and the nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively.
We used $0.1 million, $0.9 million and $1.7 million for purchases of property, equipment and the development of software in 2009, 2010 and 2011, respectively. We used $0.9 million and $2.4 million for our purchases of property, equipment and the development of software during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2012, respectively.
In addition, we had an increase in our restricted cash of $1.0 million and $0.2 million during 2010 and 2011 due to higher collateral requirements under our license to disburse funds in India due to our increased sending volume to India. Our restricted cash increased $0.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 for the same reason. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we had an increase in our restricted cash of $7.6 million due to the integration of a new payment processor, increase in our GSV with an existing ACH payment processor and higher collateral requirements under our license to operate in India.
Financing Activities
Our financing activities have primarily consisted of net proceeds from the issuance of preferred stock and exercise of preferred stock warrants and common stock options and repayments and borrowings under our line of credit.
Cash provided by financing activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was $14.0 million consisting primarily of net borrowings of $14.0 million on our line of credit.
Cash provided by financing activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $14.7 million consisting primarily of net borrowings of $14.6 million on our line of credit.
Cash provided by financing activities in 2011 was $49.9 million consisting of $25.0 million of net proceeds from the issuance of 2.2 million shares of our Series F preferred stock and $24.8 million of net borrowing under our line of credit.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As described in Our Indebtedness above, SVB issued a standby letter of credit which satisfies the additional collateral requirement to maintain our subsidiarys license to operate in India. As of December 31, 2011 and September 30, 2012, we had $1.5 million and $10.0 million reserved under our standby letter of credit, respectively.

We have no material long-term purchase obligations outstanding with any vendors or third parties.
For a description of our line of credit see Our Indebtedness.
We lease our office facilities for our corporate headquarters in San Francisco, California, under operating leases which expire in 2016. The terms of the lease agreements provide for rental payments on a graduated basis. We recognize rent expense on a straight-line basis over the lease periods. We do not have any material capital lease obligations and all of our property, equipment and software have been purchased with cash.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and related disclosures. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Our estimates are based on historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Our actual results could differ from these estimates.
We believe that the assumptions and estimates associated with our reserve for transaction losses, income taxes and stock-based compensation have the greatest potential impact on our consolidated financial statements. Therefore, we consider these to be our critical accounting policies and estimates. For further information on all of our significant accounting policies, please see Note 2 of the accompanying notes to our consolidated financial statements.
We are choosing to opt out of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards and, as a result, we will comply with new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for non-emerging growth companies. Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that our decision to opt out of the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards is irrevocable.
Reserve for Transaction Losses
On a quarterly basis, the reserve for estimated transaction losses is calculated based on our historical trends and data specific to each reporting period. We review the actual transaction losses evidenced in prior quarters as
67
a percent of GSV to determine a historical loss rate. We then apply the historical rate to the current period GSV as a basis for estimating future transaction losses. When necessary, we also provide a specific transaction loss reserve for specific risks identified in processing customer transactions. Recoveries are reflected as a reduction in the reserve for transaction losses when the recovery occurs. We evaluate the adequacy of the provision every reporting period and adjust the reserve accordingly. The following table summarizes our reserve for transaction losses for the following periods (in thousands):

Income Taxes
We use the asset and liability method to account for income taxes, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future income tax consequences of events that have been recognized in our consolidated financial statements or tax returns. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are established for deferred tax assets to the extent of the likelihood that the deferred tax assets may not be realized.
We also provide reserves as necessary for uncertain tax positions taken on our tax filings. First, we determine if a tax position is more likely than not to be sustained upon audit solely based on technical merits, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. Second, based on the largest amount of benefit, which is more likely than not to be realized on ultimate settlement, we recognize any such differences as a liability. We include in income tax expense any interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions. For all periods presented, there are no uncertain tax positions.
Stock-Based Compensation
Stock-based compensation is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense, net of estimated forfeitures, over the requisite service period, which is the vesting period of the respective award.
Determining the fair value of stock-based awards at the grant date requires judgment. We use the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to determine the fair value of stock options. The determination of the grant date fair value of options using an option-pricing model is affected by our estimated common stock fair value as well as assumptions regarding a number of other complex and subjective variables. These variables include the fair value of our common stock, our expected stock price volatility over the expected term of the options, stock option exercise and cancellation behaviors, risk-free interest rates and expected dividends, which are estimated as follows:
| Fair value of our common stock. Because our stock is not publicly-traded, we must estimate the fair value of our common stock, as discussed in Common Stock Valuations below. |
| Expected Term. The expected term was estimated using the simplified method allowed under the authoritative guidance. |
68
| Volatility. As we do not have a trading history for our common stock, the expected stock price volatility for our common stock was estimated by taking the average of the historical volatilities of an index fund and industry peers based on daily price observations over a period equivalent to the expected term of the stock option grants. We did not rely on implied volatilities of traded options in our industry peers common stock because the volume of activity was relatively low. We intend to continue to consistently apply this process using the same or similar public companies until a sufficient amount of historical information regarding the volatility of our own common stock share price becomes available. |
| Risk-free rate. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield in effect at the time of the grant for zero-coupon U.S. Treasury notes with remaining terms similar to the expected term of the options. |
| Dividend yield. We have never declared or paid any cash dividends and do not presently plan to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Consequently, we used an expected dividend yield of zero. |
If any of the assumptions used in the Black-Scholes model changes significantly, stock-based compensation for future awards may differ materially compared with the awards granted previously.
The following table presents the weighted-average assumptions used to estimate the fair value of options granted during the periods presented:

Common Stock Valuations
The fair value of the common stock underlying our stock options was determined by our board of directors, which intended all options granted to be exercisable at a price per share not less than the per share fair value of our common stock underlying those options on the date of grant. The valuations of our common stock were determined in accordance with the guidelines outlined in the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Practice Aid, Valuation of Privately-Held-Company Equity Securities Issued as Compensation. The assumptions we use in the valuation model are based on future expectations combined with management judgment. In the absence of a public trading market, our board of directors, with input from management, exercised significant judgment and considered numerous objective and subjective factors to determine the fair value of our common stock as of the date of each option grant, including the following factors:
| independent third-party valuations of our common stock performed as of February 2011, December 2011, April 2012 and July 2012; |
| the prices, rights, preferences and privileges of our preferred stock relative to the common stock; |
| our operating and financial performance; |
| current business conditions and projections; |
| our stage of development; |
| the likelihood of achieving a liquidity event for the shares of common stock underlying these stock options, such as an initial public offering or sale of our company, given prevailing market conditions; |
| any adjustment necessary to recognize a lack of marketability for our common stock; |

| the market performance of comparable publicly-traded money transfer and technology companies; and |
| the U.S. and global capital market conditions. |
In valuing our common stock, the board of directors determined the equity value of our business by taking a combination of the value indications under two valuation approaches, an income approach and a market approach.
The income approach estimates the fair value of a company based on the present value of the companys future estimated cash flows and the residual value of the company beyond the forecast period. These future values are discounted to their present values to reflect the risks inherent in the company achieving these estimated cash flows. Significant inputs of the income approach (in addition to our estimated future cash flows themselves) include the long-term growth rate assumed in the residual value, discount rate, terminal value and normalized long-term operating margin. The terminal value was calculated to estimate our value beyond the forecast period by applying a multiple to the terminal year.
The market approach estimates the fair value of a company by applying market multiples of comparable publicly-traded companies in the same industry or similar lines of business. The market multiples are based on key metrics implied by the enterprise or acquisition values of comparable publicly-traded companies. Given our significant focus on investing in and growing our business, we primarily utilized the revenue multiple when performing our valuation assessment under the market approach. When considering which companies to include in our comparable industry peer companies, we focused on U.S.-based publicly-traded companies with businesses similar to ours. The selection of our comparable industry peer companies requires us to make judgments as to the comparability of these companies to us. We considered a number of factors including business description, business size, market share, revenue model, development stage and historical operating results. We then analyzed the business and financial profiles of the selected companies for relative similarities to us and, based on this assessment, we selected our comparable industry peer companies. Several of the comparable industry peer companies are our competitors and are generally larger than us in terms of total revenue and assets. We believe that the comparable industry peers selected are a representative group for purposes of performing contemporaneous valuations. The same comparable industry peers were also used in determining various other estimates and assumptions in our contemporaneous valuations.
For each valuation, the enterprise value determined by the income and market approach was then allocated to the common stock using either the Option Pricing Method, or OPM, or Probability Weighted Expected Return Method, or PWERM.
The OPM treats common stock and preferred stock as call options on an enterprise value, with exercise prices based on the liquidation preference of the preferred stock. Therefore, the common stock has value only if the funds available for distribution to the stockholders exceed the value of the liquidation preference at the time of a liquidity event such as a merger, sale or initial public offering, assuming the enterprise has funds available to make a liquidation preference meaningful and collectible by the stockholders. The common stock is modeled to be a call option with a claim on the enterprise at an exercise price equal to the remaining value immediately after the preferred stock is liquidated. The OPM uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to price the call option. The OPM is appropriate to use when the range of possible future outcomes is so difficult to predict that forecasts would be highly speculative.
The PWERM involves a forward-looking analysis of the possible future outcomes of the enterprise. This method is particularly useful when discrete future outcomes can be predicted at a high confidence level with a probability distribution. Discrete future outcomes considered under the PWERM included non-initial public offering market based outcomes as well as initial public offering scenarios. In the non-initial public offering scenarios, a large portion of the equity value is allocated to the preferred stock to reflect the preferred stock liquidation preferences. In the initial public offering scenarios, the equity value is allocated pro rata among the shares of common stock and each series of preferred stock, which causes the common stock to have a higher
70
relative value per share than under the non-initial public offering scenario. The fair value of the enterprise determined using the initial public offering and non-initial public offering scenarios was weighted according to the board of directors estimate of the probability of each scenario.
Over time, as certainty developed regarding possible discrete events, including an initial public offering, or IPO, the allocation methodology utilized to allocate our enterprise value to our common stock transitioned away from the OPM, which was utilized for grants through December 31, 2011, to PWERM, which we utilized for grants after December 31, 2011.

With the exception of 28,544 stock options that were granted to non-employees, all of the above grants were issued to employees and directors. All of the stock options were granted for providing services to us.
No single event caused the valuation of our common stock to increase or decrease from May 12, 2011 through August 1, 2012. Instead, a combination of the factors described below in each period led to the changes in the fair value of the underlying common stock.
May, July and September 2011 Awards
We granted 374,019 options on May 12, 2011, 116,250 options on July 15, 2011 and 263,750 options on September 15, 2011. Our board of directors set an exercise price of $4.48 per share for these options based in part on a valuation prepared as of February 28, 2011. The February 28, 2011 valuation was prepared on a minority, non-marketable basis assuming our business was in the expansion stage of development.
This valuation was developed using the income approach and market approach. For the income approach, a discounted cash flow analysis was developed based on our cash flow projections for the years ending December 31, 2011 through December 31, 2015. These estimated future cash flows were discounted using a weighted-average cost of capital, or WACC, of 20%. For the market approach, we analyzed the financial performance of three publicly-traded companies in the funds transfer industry.
Based on the processes described above, our board of directors determined that it had equal confidence in both the income and market approaches so it weighted them equally to determine an aggregate enterprise value. This enterprise value was then allocated to the common stock utilizing an OPM with the following assumptions: a time to a liquidity event of two years, risk-free rate of 0.69%, dividend yield of 0% and volatility of 50% over the time to a liquidity event. As a result, the fair value of our common stock, as determined by an OPM and after applying a marketability discount of 32%, was determined to be not less than $4.16 per share. However, our board of directors determined the fair market value to be $4.48 per share.
71
January and March 2012 Awards
We granted 335,571 options on January 18, 2012, 27,500 options on March 8, 2012 and 1,280,750 options on March 22, 2012. Our board of directors set an exercise price of $6.84 per share for these options based in part on a valuation prepared as of December 31, 2011. The December 31, 2011 valuation was prepared on a minority, non-marketable basis assuming our business was still in the expansion stage of development.
This valuation was developed using the income approach and market approach. For the income approach, the discounted cash flow analysis was developed based on our cash flow projections for the years ending December 31, 2011 through December 31, 2016. These estimated future cash flows were discounted using a WACC of 23%. For the market approach, the comparable peer companies remained consistent with the February 28, 2011 valuation.
This valuation was in part based upon the PWERM approach instead of an OPM approach as applied previously. At the time of this valuation, the range of discrete events, specifically IPO and non-IPO scenarios, were fairly well established; therefore, PWERM was utilized to estimate the fair value of our common stock during this period. The expected outcomes were weighted as follows: (1) 40% toward an IPO scenario; (2) 10% toward non-IPO scenarios such as a merger or acquisition; (3) 50% toward remaining a private company; and (4) 0% toward non-IPO scenarios such as dissolution. We determined the appropriateness of the weighting of the expected outcome of the IPO by considering factors such as the planning stage we were in regarding the IPO, as well as a discount for general market factors. For example, during the December 31, 2011 valuation timing, we had begun to meet with underwriters, but had not yet decided to move forward with the IPO process. The IPO value assumed an IPO in 18 months, plus a six-month lock-up period.
As a result, the fair value of our common stock, as determined by a PWERM and after applying a marketability discount of 32%, was determined to be $6.84 per share. The increase in the fair value from the February 28, 2011 valuation was primarily due to strong projected revenue growth and projected profit margins, and the reduction in the time to a liquidity event due to the passage of time.
May 2012 Awards
We granted 358,750 options on May 24, 2012. Our board of directors set an exercise price of $12.72 per share for these options based in part on a valuation prepared as of April 30, 2012. The April 30, 2012 valuation was prepared on a minority, non-marketable basis assuming our business was still in the expansion stage of development.
This valuation was developed using the income approach and market approach. For the income approach, the discounted cash flow analysis was developed based on our cash flow projections for the years ending December 31, 2012 through December 31, 2016. These estimated future cash flows were discounted using a WACC of 20%. For the market approach, we analyzed the financial performance of the same publicly-traded companies we had used in the February 28, 2011 and December 31, 2011 valuations, but also included seven additional peer companies in the consumer Internet industry in our analysis.
Similar to the December 31, 2011 valuation, the April 30, 2012 valuation used the PWERM approach to estimate the fair value of our common stock during this period. The expected outcomes were weighted as follows: (1) 50% toward an IPO scenario; (2) 10% toward non-IPO scenarios such as a merger or acquisition; (3) 40% toward remaining a private company; and (4) 0% toward non-IPO scenarios such as dissolution. We determined the appropriateness of the weighting of the expected outcome of the IPO by considering factors such as the planning stage we were in regarding the IPO as well as a discount for general market factors. For example, during the April 30, 2012 valuation timing, we were closer to formally choosing an underwriter, as well as believing the likelihood of an IPO had increased based on feedback from the various underwriters with whom we met. The IPO value assumed an IPO in 8 months, plus a six-month lock-up period.
72
As a result, the fair value of our common stock, as determined by a PWERM and after applying a marketability discount of 26%, was determined to be $12.72 per share. The increase in the fair value from the December 31, 2011 valuation was primarily due to the reduction in the time to a liquidity event due to the passage of time.
August, November and December 2012 Awards
We granted 478,750 options on August 1, 2012, 66,250 options on November 12, 2012 and 31,250 options on December 7, 2012. Our board of directors set an exercise price of $14.12 per share for these options based in part on a valuation prepared as of July 15, 2012. The July 15, 2012 valuation was prepared on a minority, non-marketable basis assuming our business was still in the expansion stage of development.
This valuation was developed using the income approach and market approach. For the income approach, the discounted cash flow analysis was developed based on our cash flow projections for the years ending December 31, 2012 through December 31, 2018. These estimated future cash flows were discounted using a WACC of 20%. For the market approach, we analyzed the financial performance of the same publicly-traded companies we had used in the April 30, 2012 valuation.
Similar to the April 30, 2012 valuation, we used the PWERM approach to estimate the fair value of our common stock during this period. The expected outcomes were weighted as follows: (1) 70% toward an IPO scenario; (2) 10% toward non-IPO scenarios such as a merger or acquisition; (3) 20% toward remaining a private company; and (4) 0% toward non-IPO scenarios such as dissolution. We determined the appropriateness of the weighting of the expected outcome of the IPO by considering factors such as the stage we were in regarding the IPO, as well as a discount for general market factors. For example, during the July 15, 2012 valuation timing, we had formally chosen underwriters and had confidentially submitted our Registration Statement on Form S-1 with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The IPO value assumed an IPO in 2 months, plus a six-month lock-up period.
As a result, the fair value of our common stock, as determined by a PWERM and after applying a marketability discount of 22%, was determined to be $14.12 per share.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk
Interest Rate Fluctuation Risk
Our cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments consist of cash, money market funds, U.S. government securities, commercial paper, certificates of deposit, corporate bonds, corporate bonds and international government bonds.
The primary objective of our investment activities is to preserve principal while maximizing income without significantly increasing risk. Because our cash and cash equivalents have a relatively short maturity, our portfolios fair value is relatively insensitive to interest rate changes. We determined that the nominal difference in basis points from potentially investing our cash and cash equivalents in longer-term investments did not warrant a change in our investment strategy. In future periods, we will continue to evaluate our investment policy in order to ensure that we continue to meet our overall objectives.
Any borrowings under our line of credit with SVB are at a variable rate and, as a result, increases in market interest rates would generally result in increased interest expense on our outstanding borrowings.
Foreign Exchange Risk
We are exposed to foreign exchange risk as we offer our services in 30 countries and disburse our transactions in multiple foreign currencies. However, we believe that this risk is somewhat limited due to the fact that these transactions are usually disbursed in less than three business days. As of September 30, 2012, we had not entered into any foreign exchange hedging contracts.
73
Inflation Risk
We do not believe that inflation has had a material effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. If our costs were to become subject to significant inflationary pressures, we may not be able to fully offset such higher costs through fee increases.
Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or the FASB, issued an amendment to revise fair value measurements and disclosures. This standard provides clarification about the application of existing fair value measurement and disclosure requirements and expands certain other disclosure requirements. The update is effective fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this new standard did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements, although additional disclosures have been included.
In June 2011, the FASB amended its guidance on the presentation of comprehensive income. The new accounting guidance requires entities to report the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. The standard eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of equity. The update is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011 on a retrospective basis. We adopted this standard and have retroactively applied the provisions of this standard for all periods presented. This adoption did not have an impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
There have been no new accounting pronouncements not yet effective that have significance, or potential significance, to our consolidated financial statements.

Company Overview
Xoom is a pioneer and leader in the online consumer-to-consumer international money transfer industry. Our customers use Xoom to send money to family and friends in 30 countries. Since January 1, 2007, our customers have used Xoom to send $5.8 billion, including $1.7 billion in 2011 and $2.3 billion in the nine months ended September 30, 2012.
According to the World Bank, international consumer money transfer volume totalled $513 billion worldwide in 2011 and is forecasted to grow to approximately $685 billion by 2015. The traditional global money transfer market is highly fragmented and is primarily based on antiquated technology, with the majority of offline money transfers relying on physical infrastructure. In contrast, our modern online and mobile platforms disrupt the traditional forms of money transfer and deliver our customers a convenient, fast and cost-effective way to send money.
Our typical customers left their home countries and moved to the United States to seek better employment opportunities and to support their family and friends back home. Our customers represent a broad range of professions and education levels, but share common traits in that they have bank accounts and actively use the Internet or mobile devices. Despite being far from home, they maintain close ties to their family and friends and have a strong sense of family duty and obligation. As a result, our customers regularly use Xoom to help their family and friends in their home countries afford basic, and sometimes dire, needs for food, shelter, healthcare and other critical, non-discretionary expenses.
At Xoom, we earn and maintain our customers trust by providing a high level of service through convenient, fast and cost-effective money transfers. Xooms money transfers are initiated online or through a mobile device and can be sent at any time, from any Internet-enabled location. Our service is accessible in multiple languages and new customers can sign up and submit their first transaction in an average of less than ten minutes. Repeat customers typically submit transfers in approximately one minute. Recipients receive money in the manner they prefer and to which they are individually or culturally accustomed, at major banks and leading retailers. Our disbursement options include direct deposit into recipient bank accounts in all countries we serve, cash pick-up at our disbursement partner locations in most countries we serve or home delivery of cash in the Dominican Republic and the Philippines.
We believe we process and complete money transfer transactions as fast as, or faster than, our competitors, and our customers and their recipients can track the status of all transactions in real time. This speed and transparency provide our customers and their recipients peace of mind, providing certainty in the status of their money at any point. Our business model allows us to provide our customers with cost-effective money transfers because we do not pay originating agent commissions and the majority of our transfers are funded directly from bank accounts, which lowers our cost of sales. Xoom proudly passes a significant portion of these savings on to our customers in the form of cost-effective fees.
Our ability to provide our customers with convenient, fast and cost-effective money transfers relies on our proprietary technology which, combined with our risk management capabilities and global disbursement network, constitute our operating platform. We have invested in developing our operating platform over the past ten years. Our technology enables easy-to-use online and mobile sender interfaces, effective risk management and seamless integration with our disbursement partners systems. Our risk management capabilities allow us to proactively balance a low-friction customer experience with effective loss mitigation and regulatory compliance. We have built extensive partnerships with major banks and leading retailers that form our global disbursement network across 30 countries and deliver a high quality of service through regionally recognized, trusted brands.
75
We believe we are changing the way consumers transfer money around the globe by changing their habits and preferences. The value proposition we offer our customers has allowed us to add over one million new customers since 2007. The quality of service afforded by our operating platform has driven customer loyalty, resulting in a meaningful increase in gross sending volume, or GSV. GSV increased from $137.3 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2007 to $2.9 billion for the twelve months ended September 30, 2012, representing a 90% CAGR. GSV increased from $25.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 to $777.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012, representing a sequential quarterly growth rate of 17% per quarter over the last 23 quarters.
We generate revenue from transaction fees charged to customers, and from foreign exchange spreads on transactions where the payout currency is other than U.S. dollars. Service fees generally vary by country, type of funding source, disbursement currency and send amount, but do not vary by method of disbursement, how the transaction was initiated (via computer or mobile device) or the location of the customer. For example, the majority of our transactions sent to Mexico and the Philippines are funded from a bank account and are disbursed in local currency. For those transactions, the customer pays a flat fee of $4.99 to send any amount up to $2,999. Fees paid for debit and credit card-funded transactions to Mexico and the Philippines to be disbursed in local currency range from $4.99 to $75.99 depending on the amount sent and averaged $10.43 in the Philippines and $5.95 in Mexico per transaction for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. In the Philippines, fees vary for transactions paid in U.S. dollars based on the amount sent and the funding source. These fees range from $7.99 to $96.99 and averaged $9.43 per transaction for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. In India, we only offer bank deposit in local currency and over 99% of the transactions are funded from a bank account where the customer pays up to $4.99 to send up to $1,000 and is fee free if the amount sent is over $1,000. Fees for transactions sent to India averaged $1.31 per transaction for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.
Our foreign exchange revenue is derived from the difference between our cost to buy local currency and the price at which we sell the currency, referred to as our foreign exchange spread. Our foreign exchange spread varies by country, but our target spreads range from approximately 1% to 3% of a transactions principal send amount. We believe our business model is often characterized by predictable and recurring revenue from our large and growing base of new and repeat customers. In addition, our business model yields attractive per unit economics; over a 36 month period we estimate that, for a customer acquired today for $45 in marketing expense, we will generate $257 revenue and $173 of gross profit.
We have achieved significant revenue growth as our customer base has expanded. From 2007 to 2011, our revenue increased from $7.4 million to $50.0 million, representing a 61% CAGR. Revenue increased from $34.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 to $57.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, a 68% increase. We incurred net losses of $3.0 million and $4.4 million for the nine months ended
76
September 30, 2011 and 2012, respectively. We have incurred net losses primarily as a result of long-term investments in our service innovation, solutions and marketing programs to increase brand awareness.
A relatively limited number of countries, as determined based on location of the recipient of the funds disbursed, account for a large percentage of our total revenue. For 2011 and the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2012, the Philippines accounted for approximately 42%, 43% and 35% of our revenue, respectively. The top three countries, the Philippines, Mexico and India, in the aggregate represented approximately 71%, 70% and 74% of our revenue for 2011 and the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2012, respectively.
Industry Overview
The market for global money transfer is large and growing. According to the World Banks Migration and Development Briefs, the worldwide remittance market grew at a 12% CAGR from $234 billion in 2004 to $513 billion in 2011. This market is expected to continue to grow to $685 billion by 2015, a 7% CAGR. The growth trend in this market has primarily been driven by increasing globalization of economies with cross-border movement of people and employees. Over 200 million people live outside their country of birth, with Asia and Latin America having the largest migrant pools. According to the World Bank Migration & Remittance Factbook 2011, the United States continues to be the top destination for the immigrant population, with over 40 million immigrants living in the United States in 2010. Immigrants accounted for 13% of the U.S. population in 2010, up from 11% in 2000, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. Immigrants continue to send money to their family and friends in their home countries and represent the significant majority of worldwide remittances. Developing countries largely remain the top recipients of global remittances. The top four remittance-receiving countries India, China, Mexico and the Philippines collectively received an estimated annual volume of over $184 billion in 2012 according to the World Bank. The United States continues to be the top remittance-sending country with an estimated $129 billion of outbound remittance in 2010 according to the World Bank, of which approximately $82 billion was sent to countries that Xoom serves.
Traditionally, the global money transfer market has been highly fragmented. It is served by a few large players, many small regional players, traditional banks and informal person-to-person money transfer providers that evade regulation. The large industry players primarily service senders who fund with cash, which requires maintaining an extensive network of agents in the United States and the associated physical infrastructure. This model also requires significant infrastructure in receiving locations. Growth in transaction volume has typically been driven by adding more agent locations across the globe. This antiquated model of predominantly cash-to-cash money transfer has not evolved meaningfully in more than 100 years. The traditional model has been plagued by one or more of the following problems: slow transaction processing; non-transparent fees; opaque exchange rates and an inconvenient offline money transfer experience, including limited store hours, long wait times, complicated manual forms and sometimes unsafe locations. We believe these factors have led to customer frustration given the lack of a convenient, fast and cost-effective way to send money to family and friends.
With the widespread adoption of online and mobile channels and a steady increase in the proportion of the banked population among the foreign-born community in the United States, we believe there is a significant opportunity to disrupt the traditional forms of money transfer. According to Frost and Sullivan, a market research firm, Internet penetration in the United States continues to grow and reached 80% in 2011. According to the Internet marketing research firm eMarketer, 30% of the people in the United States had a smartphone in 2011, compared to 20% in 2010. In addition, a 2009 FDIC survey estimated that approximately 74% of U.S. households, 81% of foreign-born citizens in the United States and 60% of foreign-born non-citizens residing in the United States were banked. The confluence of these online, mobile and banking penetration trends provides a significant opportunity to disrupt the traditional forms of money transfer and deliver a convenient, fast and cost-effective way to send money. In addition, electronic origination of funds is materially less expensive than an agent and physical infrastructure-based origination model.

Our Solutions
Our solutions are designed to offer customers a convenient, fast and cost-effective way to send money to family and friends at any time, from any Internet-enabled location. Our operating platform allows us to provide innovative solutions to the challenge of transferring funds internationally, as described below.
Origination. All Xoom money transfers originate online, without the costs or inconvenience of initiating a transaction at a physical agent location or bank. Our money transfer services are available over the Internet or through a mobile device on our website at www.xoom.com and our co-branded website with Walmart.com.
Funding. Our customers have the option to fund a money transfer with a U.S.-based bank account, credit card or debit card. We do not have originating agents who accept cash. As a result, we do not incur the costs or commissions associated with physical agent-based origination and funding. Over 90% of our GSV is funded by bank accounts through the Automated Clearinghouse system, or ACH. ACH transactions are less expensive to fund than credit or debit card transactions as ACH does not include variable fees associated with these transactions. We are able to pass these cost savings directly to our customers in the form of cost-effective and often fixed fees. We instantly process over 95% of our ACH-funded transactions in order to expedite disbursement by our partners, which we refer to as instant ACH. We receive settlement from our payment processors for our customers funds within one to two business days, though we are typically exposed to the risk of reversals for up to four business days. Reasons for reversals include bounced checks, invalid accounts, fraud and other losses, but we are able to minimize the risks and potential losses based on our proprietary risk management system, which is discussed in more detail below. For reversals due to criminal fraud, we generally have little recourse. For reversals due to bounced checks or invalid account numbers, we are often successful at contacting the customer and receiving reimbursement. The combination of factors above enable us to provide a convenient, fast and cost-effective service, which we believe our competitors are unable to match.
Disbursement. Our customers can transfer money from the United States to 30 countries, including many major recipient countries, such as India, Mexico and the Philippines. Recipients accept money in the manner they
78
prefer and to which they are individually or culturally accustomed. Xooms disbursement options include direct deposit into a recipients bank account in all countries we serve, cash pick-up at our disbursement partner locations in most countries we serve or home delivery of cash in the Dominican Republic and the Philippines. Direct deposit recipients enjoy fast deposits made possible through the direct integration of Xooms platform with each of its bank-to-bank partners. Cash pick-up provides recipients, particularly those who do not have a bank account, with the convenience of picking cash up at retail outlets and banks generally within seconds or minutes. With home delivery, recipients can enjoy the convenience of receiving cash directly at their doorstep.
These convenient options are made available through established partnerships with major banks and leading retailers that form our global disbursement network. We carefully choose our partners based on recipient preference, quality of service, brand recognition, fee structure and co-branding opportunities. The quality of our disbursement partners makes us a trusted source of money transfer because customers are typically already familiar with their chosen disbursement partner and recipients feel comfortable receiving money where they regularly bank or shop. For example, our partnership with Punjab National Bank in India allows us to deposit funds into accounts at most banks in India. We offer bank deposit to any bank account in the United Kingdom in less than an hour through our partnership with Barclays. In the Philippines, our partnerships with the countrys largest banks, BDO Unibank, Inc., Bank of the Philippine Islands, Metrobank and Philippine National Bank, and leading retailers such as Cebuana Lhuillier Services Corporation and M.J. Lhuillier Financial Services Inc., allow us to provide bank deposit, cash pick-up at over 10,000 convenient locations, and home delivery. We offer deposit to most banks in Mexico, and, to facilitate cash pick-up, we have established a network of over 16,500 cash pick-up locations through partnerships with leading banks such as BBVA Bancomer, S.A., through its relationship with Bancomer Transfer Services, Inc., and retailers such as Elektra and Soriana. In other Latin American countries, we have established partnerships with many of the leading banks including Bancolombia; in Colombia, Itau Unibanco in Brazil; Banco de Crédito BCP, Interbank and Scotiabank Peru in Peru; and BAC and Citi Remesas Inc. in Central America.
We provide funds to our disbursement partners in two ways. One way is to post-fund a transaction, which means that we reimburse our disbursement partner after it has disbursed money to the recipients. We currently only have one disbursement partner utilizing post-funding. For the remainder of our disbursement partners, we prefund transactions, meaning that we provide them with funds prior to their disbursing money to the recipients. In order to prefund transactions, we generally deposit funds into a disbursement partners prefunding account each business day. Each disbursement partner then debits the appropriate prefunding account as transactions are disbursed. If the prefunding account balance is insufficient to cover the disbursements, the disbursement partner may halt disbursements until additional funding is deposited into the prefunding account.
Transaction Processing. Throughout the entire money transfer process, we provide a high level of risk management, compliance and regulatory oversight and customer service. Our operating platform is built to track each of these requirements. From the inception of a transaction, our platform enables us to quickly and seamlessly assess the transactions risk profile without introducing undue friction into the customer experience. We have built our technology to test each transaction for compliance, anti-money laundering, acceptable use, anti-fraud and funding risk within seconds. We also have 24/7 expert human oversight to monitor transaction traffic and identify and mitigate risks as they develop. Additionally, our multi-lingual customer service operations provide 24/7 support for both our customers and disbursement partners. Online and telephone support addresses customer inquiries, real-time transaction status updates, technical issue resolution, social media support, information verification, collections, internal processing monitoring and complaint resolution. We believe our strong risk management, combined with our high level of customer service, is reflected in our consistently low transaction loss rates and compelling value proposition. Our transaction loss rates have been 50 basis points or lower as a percentage of GSV on an annual basis since 2009.
Our Competitive Strengths
The majority of our employees are from first or second generation immigrant families and personally understand the importance and impact of our service on our customer base. Our first-hand knowledge of our customers needs enhances our ability to innovate and design solutions that solve their challenges. This customer-centric culture and
79
mission-driven approach permeates our organization, defines the fabric of our company and drives our focus on serving our customers. We believe we have the following competitive strengths:
Compelling Value Proposition. We provide significant value to our customers through a unique combination of convenience, speed and cost-effective pricing of our services. Our customers use Xoom to send money to their family and friends in 30 countries at any time, from any Internet-enabled location, either online or from a mobile device, in multiple languages. They also benefit from a safe and easy money transfer experience that requires four or fewer steps. Our operating platform offers superior speed of disbursement by making funds available to recipients within minutes for many of our transactions, while our real-time tracking on all transactions provides peace of mind to our customers and their recipients. Our business model innovations result in cost advantages that benefit our customers in the form of cost-effective fees. Importantly, we also provide transparency to our customers with simple fees and locked-in foreign exchange rates. As a result, our customers clearly understand the fee they will pay and the exact amount their recipients will receive before submitting a transaction. In general, we purchase each foreign currency once per business day, and we set our foreign exchange rates daily for our customers using historical customer transaction data and our quantitative models built over several years to balance internal target spreads of 1% to 3% with competitive pricing. For example, if we purchased 4,200,000 Philippine pesos for 100,000 U.S. dollars, our cost would be 42.00 pesos to one U.S. dollar. Assuming a spread of 2% would result in a competitive price, we would then set the customer foreign exchange rate at 41.16.
Proprietary Risk Management System. Our proprietary risk management system serves as the backbone of our technology platform, balancing a low-friction customer experience with low transaction loss rates, which have been 50 basis points or lower as a percentage of GSV on an annual basis since 2009. This system has been developed from the ground up and refined over ten years through continuous innovation and a relentless dedication to provide the best experience to our customers. Our platform is highly scalable to meet future growth and is flexible and agile, enabling us to provide real-time responses to new fraud risks and regulatory changes that may develop. We continue to invest in our risk management capabilities including 24/7 expert human oversight to monitor transaction traffic and to spot evolving risks.
Online Origination Affords Valuable Customer Insight. Traditional money transfer providers generally require senders to bring cash to a physical agent location to originate a transfer. Such transactions provide little insight into repeat sender behavior and limit the money transfer providers ability to develop a deeper customer relationship over time. In contrast, our customers initiate money transfers online or through mobile devices on www.xoom.com and usually connect their bank accounts, creating a body of digital, transaction-related data that affords us deep insight into repeat customer behavior, including their expected funding methods, transfer frequency and disbursement preferences. This data provides us with revenue visibility as we can more accurately predict how frequently new customers will transfer money using Xoom in the future. As a result, we can quantify the value of new customers over a defined period of time and continually compare and contrast that value against the marketing expenses to acquire new customers. In addition, this data allows us to refine our service to increase conversion of site visitors to customers and continually improve the retention rate of existing customers. More importantly, we can continually improve the overall customer experience by making our customers money transfers easier to fund, faster to transfer and disburse, and more convenient for our customers friends and families to collect.
Marketing Expertise. We believe our marketing expertise provides us with a competitive advantage in attracting new customers to Xoom. Our marketing campaigns drive awareness, consideration and trial of our service and increase existing customer retention and usage. These campaigns include advertising on television stations and websites popular with, and frequented by, immigrant communities and ongoing incentive trial campaigns where we provide rewards to customers for trying our service. We believe our marketing expertise is a competitive strength because it enables us to directly market to our diverse customer base and make marketing impressions with a high frequency and at a relatively low cost per impression. The fact that our customers create Xoom accounts and originate transfers online enables us to directly attribute new customers and their subsequent money transfers to specific marketing campaigns and optimize future marketing investment.
80
Established Global Disbursement Capabilities. We believe our global disbursement network with major banks and leading retailers represents a significant competitive advantage. Assembled relationship by relationship over more than ten years, our network is comprised of trusted local brands who offer high-quality service. Our target customers generally recognize these brands, enabling us to more effectively acquire new customers through co-branded marketing campaigns in the United States. As the number of customers and recipients on our platform increases, we provide greater value to our disbursement network partners. This allows us to further expand and develop our disbursement network, which in turn affords more co-branded marketing opportunities, attracting more customers to Xoom. We believe this represents a network effect in our business model that will create value as our business continues to scale. In addition, we work extensively to integrate the Xoom operating platform with our partners to enable the quality and speed of service that we believe is often unique to Xoom. We believe our speed of deposit is superior to that of our competitors and that our cash pick-up service matches or surpasses those of other leading money transfer service providers wherever cash pick-up is relevant. We believe it would be difficult for a new competitor to replicate the breadth and quality of service our disbursement network provides.
Efficient Regulatory Compliance. We have designed our technology platform to operate efficiently in a highly complex and continuously evolving regulatory environment. Executing an effective compliance program while minimizing customer friction is challenging. Our technology and compliance expertise enable a low-friction customer experience in a highly-regulated environment, which new market entrants would likely find difficult to replicate. Acquiring the federal, state and international regulatory approvals necessary to operate as a money transmitter is a time-consuming and capital-intensive process. We have spent significant time and resources developing our regulatory compliance program and fostering positive relations with the licensing authorities in the jurisdictions in which we operate.
Our Growth Strategy
Our growth strategy is focused primarily on attracting and retaining customers in the markets we currently serve as well as broadening our partnerships, expanding into new international markets and developing services in adjacent markets. We intend to aggressively grow our business through the following strategies:
Attract and Retain Customers in the Markets We Currently Serve
| Optimize Marketing Investment. Our customers tend to behave predictably, and we are therefore able to increase and optimize our marketing investment to acquire new customers at a cost that is a fraction of their estimated lifetime values. We will continue to selectively invest more in targeted marketing campaigns to acquire new customers. These initiatives include offline and online media campaigns customized to the countries and demographics we serve. Examples of our marketing include advertising on television stations popular with, as well as websites frequented by, immigrant communities, and our ongoing incentive trial campaigns where we provide rewards to new customers. We intend to continue to efficiently increase our marketing investment. |
| Enhance Services and Overall Customer Experience. We are committed to enhancing our services and developing new capabilities to improve customer experience and build loyalty. For example, in December 2011, we optimized our 2-Click Quick Send feature to allow our repeat customers to submit transfers in approximately one minute. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, approximately 60% of transactions submitted by repeat customers were submitted using this feature. We believe our singular focus on the customer will grow our active customer base, solidify brand loyalty and expand our market share. |
| Expand and Enhance Mobile Capabilities. We launched our mobile strategy in November 2011. During the three months ended September 30, 2012, 22% of our transactions were sent via mobile devices. We believe this percentage will increase over time as mobile devices become more popular, particularly among people whose only Internet access is via mobile device. We will continue to optimize our services for mobile devices to capitalize on the continued and growing trend in mobile |
81
usage. Our quarterly mobile usage as a percentage of overall transactions since we launched our mobile strategy in November 2011 was as follows: |
* | We launched our mobile strategy on November 11, 2011. |
Establish New Partnerships and Improve Current Partnerships
| Expand Our Marketing Partnerships. We will continue to establish new marketing partnerships to improve awareness of our money transfer services with potential customers. For example, in November 2011, we announced a retail partnership with Walmart.com, which made our online service available through Walmart.coms Online MoneyCenter or directly at walmart.xoom.com. In addition, in June 2012, we announced a cross-platform rewards initiative with Skype and, in November 2012, we announced a partnership with Univision Interactive Media, which has the most-visited Spanish-language website among U.S. online Hispanics, to become its preferred online international remittance service for the Latino community, which will allow us to reach a significant customer base of immigrants in the United States with relatives in other countries. We believe that we can grow our active customer base through these and other strategic partnerships. |
| Expand and Improve Our Disbursement Network. By increasing the number of partners and improving the quality of service from existing partners, we believe we can increase the relevance of our service and improve our value proposition. For example, in November 2011, we launched an enhanced service to deposit money into nearly any bank account in the United Kingdom in less than one hour, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. In April 2012, we also added Elektra, a leading retailer that provides a large cash pick-up network in Mexico, as a new disbursement partner, which materially increased the number of new customers sending to Mexico. Prior to launching a new disbursement partnership, we spend a significant amount of time working directly with the partner to meet our high performance standards, rigorously review fraud and compliance requirements and enhance the recipients experience. We believe that by adding to the breadth and performance of our disbursement network, we can attract new customers and increase existing customer loyalty. |
82
Expand into New International Markets
| New Origination Markets. We are continuing to explore potential new originating countries such as Canada, the United Kingdom and other developed countries throughout Western Europe. Origination markets that we find attractive typically have mature regulatory and compliance systems, high median income levels and significant immigrant populations that could benefit from our services. We will continue to leverage the experience and expertise gained from our success in current markets to identify attractive new markets for our services. |
| New Recipient Markets. We have been successful in forging partnerships to expand into new recipient markets. We are exploring market entry opportunities in regions with significant incoming money transfer volumes, such as China, Eastern Europe, North Africa, South Korea and Vietnam. |
Leverage Technology and Develop Services in Adjacent Markets
| As part of our long-term strategic plan, we intend to explore opportunities to leverage our technology and money transfer network to unlock new revenue streams in adjacent markets. These opportunities may include commercial payment solutions for small-to-medium businesses and liquidation for virtual currencies. |
Technology
Our technology platform, developed over the last ten years, allows our customers to conveniently, quickly and cost-effectively send money to their family and friends. It also enables us to process money transfers safely and securely, while complying with applicable money transfer regulations and minimizing fraud. We use a combination of proprietary technology and open source solutions. We will continue to invest in delivering technologies that improve our customer experience and the safety and security of money transfers by our customers. We designed our technology platform to handle traffic well in excess of expected peaks and to scale efficiently and easily with the addition of new servers.
Send Money Customer Interface. Our send money customer interface allows customers to send money from our website or mobile website quickly and easily, using a computer, a tablet or a smartphone. New customers complete four easy steps to sign up and send money, while repeat customers can send money with just two clicks. In addition, we plan to release a mobile application that offers the features and functionality of Xooms website.
Risk Management. Our risk management processes and technology are a central part of our business. We have developed a proprietary risk management system that allows us to analyze a range of data to detect compliance issues and fraud, including predictive artificial intelligence models, inline real-time rules engines, granular controls, 24/7 expert oversight, sending limits, comprehensive searching to link related accounts and linking and visualization tools to detect emerging patterns. Our risk management technology helps us manage the primary risk challenges our business confronts:
| ACH Returns on Instant ACH transactions. Our system carefully monitors ACH returns in order to balance the positive impact that instant ACH transactions have on our customers experience against the risk of loss to Xoom from such transactions. |
| Payment and Fraud Risk. We are subject to attempted fraud from the use of stolen payment instruments and identity or account theft. Our proprietary risk management system allows us to detect fraudulent senders, cancel their transactions, create and maintain internal black lists of fraudulent senders and make required reports to government entities. |
To minimize payment and fraud risk, several requirements must be satisfied in order for a prospective customer to use our services. A prospective customer must provide us with the following information: name, address, e-mail address, phone number, date of birth, U.S.-based payment source, name of
83
recipient, recipient disbursement information and recipient address. The U.S.-based payment source may be a bank account, credit card or debit card, but we do not require that it be from any particular bank or banks. All of the transaction data is then evaluated by our proprietary risk management system, which assesses the transaction for regulatory compliance, anti-money laundering, acceptable use, anti-fraud and funding risk. If the transaction is deemed to be high risk by our risk management system, then we will either hold the transaction for further screening or cancel the transaction.
| Anti-Money Laundering and Regulatory Compliance. While our risk from money laundering is reduced as compared to traditional money transfer businesses because we do not accept physical cash, our risk management system uses a multi-tier trust level matrix that adjusts the amount of information a customer and recipient must provide based on the amount of money sent and the frequency of sending. We leverage our fraud systems to prevent customers from opening multiple accounts in order to evade our trust levels and other compliance limits. |
| Acceptable Use. Our system is designed to detect sending patterns that indicate our service is potentially being used for illegal activities or for legal purposes that we do not want on our system, including gaming, pornography, pharmaceuticals, organized scams that solicit money transfers, or commercial activity. For example, patterns in which one person sends to many recipients or many senders send to one recipient are flagged for follow up. |
Transaction Processing. Our proprietary transaction processing platform allows us to send money seconds after our customer has authorized a transaction, either from a customers bank account through the ACH network, or from a customers credit or debit card. Our proprietary risk management system enables us to instantly process over 95% of ACH transactions. Our transaction processing platform allows processing of credit and debit card transfers in real time and ACH transfers from bank accounts in daily batches.
Disbursement Integration Platform. Our proprietary disbursement integration platform securely integrates our systems directly with those of our disbursement partners, so that we can deliver money quickly to a recipients bank account or to one of our disbursement partners for cash pickup or delivery. We work with our partners to deepen our integration with their systems in order to continuously improve our customers experience.
Automated Testing Framework. Our automated testing framework allows us to continuously test our operating platform using innovative applications of technologies to cost-effectively simulate customer behavior in order to produce a high-quality operating platform. Without this technology, we would require significant additional investment in quality assurance engineering resources.
Marketing and Corporate Development
We market our money transfer services to customers through a variety of offline and online channels such as television and print advertising, paid and unpaid search, social networks and email. We also market through a number of incentive programs including Refer-A-Friend and targeted promotions focused on sporting and other culturally-relevant events. The primary purpose of our marketing campaigns is to drive new customer acquisition and brand awareness. We specifically develop and design our marketing programs for the demographics of the countries we serve, and we continually strive to innovate and optimize our marketing strategies.
Our marketing program uses quantitative metrics to optimize the balance between cost per acquisition of a new customer and customer lifetime value, or CLV. The program has been fine-tuned through years of continuous improvement and experience, yielding attractive return on investment and CLV.
Our corporate development team is responsible for developing our disbursement partner network. We strive to identify and work with disbursement partners that will allow us to offer our customers an accessible cash pickup network as well as direct integration with key banks to ensure quick access to money for recipients. We
84
work continuously with our disbursement partners to improve quality and reduce costs. Our disbursement partners include prominent banks and retailers with well-recognized brands in the countries we serve.
Customer Support
We believe that effective customer support is critical to attracting new customers and retaining existing customers. Our customer operations group handles a range of customer experience management areas, including inbound customer calls and emails, partner and internal processing system monitoring, complaint resolution, customer verification and collections.
Our customer support organization provides support to customers by email, telephone and via a comprehensive set of frequently asked questions on our website. We have two outsourced customer call centers, one in the Philippines and one in El Salvador, allowing us to serve our customers around the clock in multiple languages. We take steps to ensure that calls and emails from customers are answered promptly and efficiently.
Regulation
Our services are subject to a wide range of laws and regulations enacted by the U.S. federal government, each of the states in the United States, many localities and many other countries and jurisdictions. These include international, federal and state anti-money laundering laws and regulations; financial services regulations; currency control regulations; anti-bribery laws; regulations of the U.S. Treasury Departments Office of Foreign Assets Control, or OFAC; money transfer and payment instrument licensing laws; escheatment laws; privacy, data protection and information security laws; consumer disclosure and consumer protection laws; and rules, laws and regulations including those governing credit and debit cards, electronic payments and competition. Our subsidiary is licensed in India pursuant to the Money Transfer Service Scheme, or MTSS, as administered by the Reserve Bank of India, and must comply with all applicable MTSS rules, which include caps on transaction amounts, prohibitions against certain types of transactions and verification of a robust anti-money laundering program. Failure to comply with any of these requirements could result in the suspension or revocation of a license or registration required to provide money transfer services, the limitation, suspension or termination of services, the seizure of our assets and the imposition of civil and criminal penalties, including fines and restrictions on our ability to offer services. See Risk Factors for additional discussion regarding potential impacts of failure to comply.
We continually enhance our compliance programs, including our anti-money laundering program, which comprises policies, procedures, systems and internal controls to monitor and to address various legal and regulatory requirements. In addition, we continue to adapt our business practices and strategies to help us comply with current and evolving legal standards and industry practices. These programs include dedicated compliance personnel, training and monitoring programs, suspicious activity reporting, regulatory outreach and education, and support and guidance to our disbursement partners concerning regulatory compliance. Our money transfer network operates through third-party disbursement partners in most countries, and, therefore, there are limitations on our legal and practical ability to manage those disbursement partners compliance programs.
Anti-Money Laundering Compliance. Our money transfer services are subject to anti-money laundering laws and regulations of the United States, including the Bank Secrecy Act, as amended by the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001, or the Bank Secrecy Act, as well as similar state laws and regulations and the anti-money laundering laws and regulations in many of the countries in which we or our disbursement partners operate. Jurisdictions in which we operate may have requirements, including:
| maintenance of an anti-money laundering program; |
| identifying and reporting of suspicious activity; |
| recordkeeping, including funds transferred recordkeeping; |
85
| prohibition of transactions in, to or from certain countries, governments, individuals and entities; |
| limitations on amounts that may be transferred by a customer or from a jurisdiction at any one time or over specified periods of time, which require the aggregation of information over multiple transactions; |
| customer identification, information gathering and reporting requirements; |
| customer disclosure and notification requirements; |
| registration or licensing of us or our subsidiary with a state or federal agency in the United States or with the central bank or other proper authority in a foreign country; |
| bonding; and |
| minimum capital or capital adequacy requirements. |
Anti-money laundering regulations are constantly evolving. We continuously monitor our compliance with anti-money laundering regulations and implement policies and procedures to make our business practices flexible so that our services remain compliant with the most current legal requirements. As a money services business, we maintain a stringent anti-money laundering compliance program that includes internal policies and controls, designation of a compliance officer, ongoing employee training and an independent review function.
U.S. Sanctions. We are required to remain in compliance with the sanctions laws and regulations administered by OFAC and may be required to remain in compliance with sanctions regimes established in certain countries in which we or our disbursement partners operate. In order to address those requirements, we:
| ensure that we are not engaging in any transactions in, relating to, or involving, directly or indirectly, countries subject to U.S. economic sanctions, including Cuba, Iran, and Syria, or that otherwise would be prohibited if performed by U.S. persons or entities, unless authorized by the appropriate U.S. government agency; |
| screen transactions, customers, affiliates, directors, officers or employees to ensure that none are listed on government watch-lists such as: The List of Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons, or SDNs, maintained by OFAC; any lists of restricted persons or entities maintained by any other U.S. government authority or pursuant to any Executive Order of the President of the United States of America; and lists maintained by other governments as applicable; |
| block funds of SDNs; and |
| prepare and submit blocking and other reports, and maintain blocked funds as required by OFAC laws and regulations. |
Money Transfer Licensing. Most states in the United States require us to be licensed to process transactions for their residents. To date, we have obtained money transmitter licenses in 42 U.S. states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico, and have applied, or plan to apply, for money transmitter licenses in additional states. Our subsidiary, buyindiaonline.com Inc., is licensed as a money transmitter in Delaware and is one of only nine entities currently licensed in India pursuant to the Money Transfer Service Scheme. Licensing requirements generally include minimum net worth requirements, provision of surety bonds, compliance with operational procedures and the maintenance of reserves or permissible investments in an amount equivalent to outstanding payment obligations, as defined by our various regulators. The types of securities that are considered permissible investments vary across jurisdictions, but generally include cash and cash equivalents, U.S. government securities and other highly-rated debt instruments. Most states require us to file reports on a regular basis to verify our compliance with their requirements. Many states and other regulators also subject us to periodic examinations and require us to comply with anti-money laundering and other laws and regulations similar to the Bank Secrecy Act.
Recent Federal Legislation in the United States. The Dodd-Frank Act will likely impose additional regulatory requirements upon us. It is difficult to gauge the impact on our business because many provisions of
86
the Dodd-Frank Act require the adoption of rules and further studies. The Dodd-Frank Act created the CFPB, which issues and enforces consumer protection initiatives governing financial products and services, including money transfer services, in the United States. We will be required to provide specific disclosures to our customers, which may require us to modify our systems and current customer disclosures. Enhanced disclosure requirements, error resolution procedures, refund requirements and other matters impacting how we offer international remittances from the United States were set forth in the Final Remittance Rule that was issued by the CFPB in January 2012 and that we expect to become effective in the spring of 2013.
Privacy Regulations. In the ordinary course of our business, we collect certain types of data that subject us to privacy laws in the United States and abroad. In the United States, we are subject to the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, which requires that financial institutions have in place policies regarding the collection, processing, storage and disclosure of information considered nonpublic personal information. Many states in the U.S. and other countries where we operate have adopted similar laws. We have confidentiality and information security standards and procedures in place for our business activities and with our third-party vendors and service providers.
Escheatment Regulations. Unclaimed property laws require that we track certain information on all of our payment instruments and money transfers and, if they are unclaimed at the end of an applicable statutory abandonment period, that we remit the proceeds of the unclaimed property to the appropriate jurisdiction. Statutory abandonment periods for payment instruments and money transfers range from three to seven years.
Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. We are subject to regulations imposed by the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act in the United States and similar laws in other countries that generally prohibit companies and those acting on their behalf from making improper payments to foreign government officials for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. We have developed training programs for employees, contractors and consultants who interact with foreign governmental officials and agencies.
Competition
The markets in which we compete are highly competitive and are highly fragmented. However, we believe we have competitive strengths that position us favorably in our markets, including the convenience, speed and competitive cost of our services. Our largest competitors are The Western Union Company and MoneyGram Payment Systems, Inc. We also compete against country-specific players, banks and informal person-to-person money transfer service providers that evade regulation. For example, in money transfers sent from the U.S. to India, we compete with ICICI Bank. In the future, new competitors or alliances among established companies may emerge.
Intellectual Property
The Xoom brand is important to our business. We utilize trademark registrations in the United States and internationally to protect our brand. We rely on a combination of patent and trademark laws, trade secret protection and confidentiality and license agreements to protect the intellectual property rights related to our services, all of which offer only limited protection. In addition, we have two patent applications on file with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.
We control access to our proprietary technology by entering into confidentiality and invention assignment agreements with employees, consultants, partners, vendors and customers. However, policing unauthorized use of our technologies, services and intellectual property is difficult, expensive and time-consuming, particularly in foreign countries where the laws may not be as protective of intellectual property rights as those in the United States and where mechanisms for enforcement of intellectual property rights may be weak. We may be unable to determine the extent of any unauthorized use or infringement of our services, technologies or intellectual property rights.
87
From time to time, legal action by us may be necessary to enforce our patents and other intellectual property rights, to protect our trade secrets, to determine the validity and scope of the intellectual property rights of others or to defend against claims of infringement or invalidity. We may also be subject to claims by third parties alleging that we infringe their intellectual property rights or have misappropriated other proprietary rights. Such litigation could result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and could negatively affect our business, operating results and financial condition. If we are unable to protect our intellectual property rights, we may find ourselves at a competitive disadvantage to others who need not incur the additional expense, time and effort required to create the innovative services that have enabled us to be successful to date.
Employees
As of September 30, 2012, we had 144 full-time employees, including 16 in marketing, 70 in technology and development, 26 in customer service and operations and 32 in general and administrative. We also rely on outsourcing for our customer call centers and other operational support. None of our employees is represented by a labor union or covered by a collective bargaining agreement. We have not experienced any work stoppages and we consider our relations with our employees to be good.
Legal Proceedings
In February 2011, we filed a lawsuit in federal court in the Northern District of California against Motorola Mobility, Inc. and other affiliated companies, or Motorola, alleging trademark infringement and other related claims, stemming from Motorolas use of the name XOOM in connection with its wireless tablet devices and related accessories. Following the filing of the complaint, we and Motorola engaged in confidential settlement discussions but did not reach an acceptable settlement. In October 2011, we formally served Motorola with the complaint. The litigation is ongoing.
We are not a party to any other material pending legal proceedings. We may, from time to time, be party to litigation and subject to claims incident to the ordinary course of our business. As our growth continues, we may become party to an increasing number of litigation matters and claims. The outcome of litigation and claims cannot be predicted with certainty and the resolution of these matters could materially affect our future results of operations, cash flows or financial position.
Facilities
We lease 35,552 square feet of space for our corporate headquarters in San Francisco, California pursuant to leases that expire in October 2016. We believe our facilities are adequate for our foreseeable needs.

The following section provides compensation information pursuant to the scaled disclosure rules applicable to emerging growth companies under the rules of the SEC and may contain statements regarding future individual and company performance targets and goals. These targets and goals are disclosed in the limited context of the companys executive compensation program and should not be understood to be statements of managements expectations or estimates of results or other guidance. We specifically caution investors not to apply these statements to other contexts.
Overview
Historically, our board of directors has set the compensation of our executive officers. The primary objectives of our executive compensation program have been to:
| attract, engage, and retain superior talent who contribute to our long-term success; |
| motivate, inspire and reward executive officers whose knowledge, skills and performance are critical to our business; |
| ensure compensation is aligned with our corporate strategies and business objectives; and |
| provide our executive officers with incentives that effectively align their interests with those of our stockholders. |
Executive Compensation Design Overview
Historically, our executive compensation program has reflected our growth and development-oriented corporate culture. To date, the compensation of John Kunze, our President and Chief Executive Officer, and the other executive officers identified in the Summary Compensation Table in this prospectus, who we refer to as the Named Executive Officers, has consisted of a combination of base salary and long-term incentive compensation in the form of stock options. Our executive officers and all salaried employees also are eligible to receive health and welfare benefits. Pursuant to employment agreements, the Named Executive Officers are also eligible to receive certain payments and benefits upon a termination of employment under certain circumstances, as well as acceleration of vesting of certain outstanding equity awards in connection with a change in control of the company.
The key component of our executive compensation program has been equity awards in the form of options to purchase shares of our common stock. As a privately-held company, we have emphasized the use of equity to provide incentives for our executive officers to focus on the growth of our overall enterprise value and, correspondingly, to create value for our stockholders. Going forward, we may introduce other forms of stock-based compensation awards into our executive compensation program to offer our executive officers additional types of equity incentives that further this objective.
As we transition from a private company to a publicly-traded company, we will evaluate our philosophy and compensation plans and arrangements as circumstances require. At a minimum, we expect to review executive compensation annually. As part of this review process, we expect the board of directors or the compensation committee to apply our values and the objectives outlined above, while considering the compensation levels needed to ensure our executive compensation program remains competitive. We will also review whether we are meeting our retention objectives and the potential cost of replacing a key employee.
Compensation of Named Executive Officers
Base Salaries
The board of directors reviews the base salaries of our executive officers, including the Named Executive Officers, from time to time and makes adjustments as it determines to be reasonable and necessary to reflect the
95
scope of an executive officers performance, contributions, responsibilities, experience, prior salary level, position (in the case of a promotion) and market conditions.
In March 2012, the board of directors reviewed the base salaries of our executive officers, taking into consideration the recommendations of our Chief Executive Officer (except with respect to his own base salary), compensation data compiled and prepared by Equilar, Inc., compensation data from a New Enterprise Associates, or NEA, survey of similarly-situated private companies, as well as the other factors described above. Our board of directors, exercising its judgment and discretion, decided to adjust the base salaries of certain of our executive officers. In particular, Mr. Kunzes base salary was increased based on the compensation data in order to bring his salary more in line with salaries paid to chief executive officers at comparable companies. The base salaries of the Named Executive Officers for 2011 and 2012 are as follows:
Named Executive Officer |
2011 Base Salary | 2012 Base Salary | ||||||
John Kunze |
$ | 275,000 | $ | 400,000 | ||||
Julian King |
$ | 230,000 | $ | 280,000 | ||||
Ryno Blignaut |
$ | 220,000 | $ | 280,000 |
The 2012 base salary adjustments became effective on April 1, 2012.
Equity Awards
We use equity awards to incentivize and reward our executive officers, including the Named Executive Officers, for long-term corporate performance based on the value of our common stock and, thereby, to align the interests of our executive officers with those of our stockholders. These equity awards have been granted in the form of stock options to purchase shares of our common stock. We believe that stock options, when granted with exercise prices equal to the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant, provide an appropriate long-term incentive for our executive officers, since the stock options reward them only to the extent that our stock price grows and stockholders realize value following the stock option grant date.
Historically, we have granted stock options to our executive officers, including the Named Executive Officers, when the board of directors has determined that such awards were necessary or appropriate upon initial hiring, in recognition of a promotion, or to achieve our retention objectives. In making its award decisions, the board of directors has exercised its judgment and discretion to set the size of each award at a level it considered appropriate to create a meaningful opportunity for reward predicated on the creation of long-term stockholder value.
In March 2012, the board of directors, after considering the recommendations of our Chief Executive Officer, as well as compensation data from an NEA survey of similarly-situated privately-held companies, approved the grant of stock options to purchase shares of our common stock for certain of our executive officers, including the Named Executive Officers, to ensure that our executive officers are sufficiently retained and to recognize our financial results and each executive officers individual performance for 2011. These stock options were granted with an exercise price equal to $6.84 per share, the fair market value of our common stock as determined by the board of directors on that date. These stock options are subject to a five-year, time-based vesting schedule to maximize the retention objectives of the awards. The stock option grants made to these Named Executive Officers were as follows:
Named Executive Officer |
Number of Shares Underlying Stock Option Grant |
|||
John Kunze |
500,000 | |||
Julian King |
140,000 | |||
Ryno Blignaut |

Senior Executive Incentive Bonus Plan
In December 2012, our board of directors adopted the Senior Executive Cash Incentive Bonus Plan, or the Bonus Plan. In the event the compensation committee decides in the future to implement a cash bonus program for certain key executive officers, including the Named Executive Officers, it will do so under the terms and conditions of the Bonus Plan. The Bonus Plan provides for cash bonus payments based upon the attainment of performance targets established by the compensation committee. The payment targets will be related to financial and operational measures or objectives with respect to us or our subsidiary, or the Performance Goals.
The compensation committee may select Performance Goals, from among the following: cash flow (including operating cash flow and free cash flow); revenue; corporate revenue; earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization; net income (loss) (either before or after interest, taxes, depreciation and/or amortization); changes in the market price of our common stock; economic value-added; acquisitions or strategic transactions; operating income (loss); return on capital, assets, equity, or investment; stockholder returns; return on sales; gross or net profit levels; productivity; expense; margins; operating efficiency; customer satisfaction; working capital; earnings (loss) per share of our common stock; sales or market shares; number of customers; number of new customers or customer references; operating income and net annual recurring revenue; any of which may be measured in absolute terms or compared to any incremental increase, measured in terms of growth, compared to another company or companies or to results of a peer group, measured against the market as a whole and/or according to applicable market indices, measured against our performance as a whole or a segment of the company and/or measured on a pre-tax or post-tax basis (if applicable).
Any bonuses paid under the Bonus Plan will be based upon objectively determinable bonus formulas that tie such bonuses to one or more performance targets relating to the Performance Goals. The bonus formulas will be adopted in each performance period by the compensation committee and communicated to each executive. No bonuses will be paid under the Bonus Plan unless and until the compensation committee makes a determination with respect to the attainment of the performance objectives. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the compensation committee can adjust or pay bonuses under the Bonus Plan based on achievement of individual performance goals or pay bonuses (including, without limitation, discretionary bonuses) to executive officers under the Bonus Plan based upon such other terms and conditions as the compensation committee may in its discretion determine.
Each executive officer who is selected to participate in the Bonus Plan will have a targeted bonus opportunity set for each performance period. The Performance Goals will be measured at the end of each performance period after our financial reports have been published or such other appropriate time as the compensation committee determines. If the Performance Goals are met, payments will be made as soon as practicable following the end of each performance period. Subject to the rights contained in any agreement between the executive officer and the company, an executive officer must be employed by the company on the bonus payment date to be eligible to receive a bonus payment.

Employment Agreements and Termination of Employment Arrangements
Each of our executive officers serves at the pleasure of our board of directors. We initially entered into offer letters or employment agreements with each of the Named Executive Officers in connection with his employment with the company, and replaced the offer letters or employment agreements with our Named Executive Officers with new employment agreements during 2011, which were later amended and restated in 2012. With the exception of his own arrangement which was negotiated by the board of directors, each of these employment agreements was negotiated on our behalf by our Chief Executive Officer, with the oversight and approval of our board of directors.
These agreements provided for at will employment and set forth the terms and conditions of employment of each Named Executive Officer, including base salary, target annual bonus opportunity and standard employee benefit plan participation. Each Named Executive Officer has also entered into our standard confidential information and invention assignment agreement.
These agreements also contain provisions that provide for certain payments and benefits in the event of a termination of employment, including an involuntary termination of employment following a change in control of the company. In addition, the Named Executive Officers may be entitled to accelerated vesting of certain of their outstanding and unvested awards in certain circumstances.

Pursuant to their employment agreements, each Named Executive Officer is eligible to receive certain payments and benefits in the event his employment is terminated by the company without cause (as defined in his employment agreement) or in the event he terminates his employment with good reason (as defined in his employment agreement). In addition to his accrued benefits (consisting of unpaid expense reimbursements, accrued but unused vacation to the extent such payment is required by law or company policy, any vested benefits that he may have under any of our employee benefit plans and any earned but unpaid base salary payable through the date of termination), upon the timely execution of a fully effective general release of claims in favor of the company, each Named Executive Officer is eligible to receive the following payments and benefits:
| a lump-sum cash severance payment equal to 6 months (12 months in the case of Mr. Kunze) of his base salary; and |
| if the Named Executive Officer was participating in a cash bonus plan at the time of such termination, a pro rata portion of the cash bonus payable under such cash bonus plan for the year in which the termination of employment occurs, based on the number of days in such year completed prior to the date of termination and determined assuming that all applicable performance targets are attained at the 100% level. |
99
Change in Control of the Company
Pursuant to their employment agreements, in the event of a change in control of the company (as defined in their employment agreements), 25%, in the case of Mr. Kunze, or 100%, in the case of Messrs. King and Blignaut of the total number of shares of our common stock subject to outstanding and unvested stock options granted to such Named Executive Officers prior to March 22, 2012 will immediately accelerate, vest, and become fully exercisable or non-forfeitable as of the effective date of the change in control.
Involuntary Termination of Employment in Connection with a Change in Control of the Company
Pursuant to their employment agreements, the remaining portion of any outstanding and unvested equity awards will continue to vest and become exercisable in accordance with their original vesting schedule following a change in control; provided, however, that any unvested portion of such outstanding stock options and other stock-based awards will immediately accelerate, vest, and become fully exercisable or non-forfeitable if, within 12 months after the change in control of the company:
| the Named Executive Officers employment is terminated by the company without cause (as defined in his employment agreement); or |
| the Named Executive Officer terminates his employment with good reason (as defined in his employment agreement). |
In addition, each Named Executive Officer is also eligible to receive the cash payments and benefits described above under Involuntary Termination of Employment, in the event of an involuntary termination of their employment following a change in control of the company, plus an additional lump sum payment of 6 months of his base salary (12 months in the case of Mr. Kunze) for a total of 12 months of base salary (24 months in the case of Mr. Kunze).
Excise Tax Considerations
The payments and benefits provided under the employment agreements of the Named Executive Officers in connection with a change in control of the company may be subject to an excise tax under Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code. These payments and benefits also may not be eligible for a federal income tax deduction pursuant to Section 280G of the Code. If any of these payments or benefits are subject to such excise taxes, they will be reduced (but not below zero) to the extent necessary so that the sum of all payments and benefits will not trigger such excise tax, if such reduction would result in a better net after-tax benefit to the affected Named Executive Officer.
Definitions
For purposes of the employment agreements, cause means:
| conduct by an executive officer constituting a material act of misconduct in connection with the performance of his duties, including, without limitation, misappropriation of funds or property of the company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates other than the occasional, customary, or de minimis use of company property for personal purposes; |
| the commission by an executive officer of any felony or a misdemeanor involving moral turpitude, deceit, dishonesty or fraud; |
| continued non-performance by an executive officer of his duties under the employment agreement (other than by reason of the executive officers physical or mental illness, incapacity, or disability) that has continued for more than 30 days following written notice from the company of such non-performance; |
| a breach by an executive officer of any of the provisions of the employment agreement, or our proprietary information agreement, or the nondisclosure agreement; |
100
| a material violation by an executive officer of our written employment policies; |
| acceptance of a position with a competitive entity; or |
| failure to cooperate with a bona fide internal investigation or an investigation by regulatory or law enforcement authorities, after being instructed by the company to cooperate, or the willful destruction or failure to preserve documents or other materials known to be relevant to such investigation or the inducement of others to fail to cooperate or to produce documents or other materials in connection with such investigation. |
For purposes of the employment agreements, good reason means the failure of the company to cure any of the following events within 30 days after receiving written notice from the executive officer:
| a demotion or any material diminution of an executive officers position, authority, duties, or responsibilities and that will include (but not be limited to) the executive officers having a position, authority, duties or responsibilities after a change in control of the company with respect to a division or line of business, rather than a substantially comparable position, authority, duties, or responsibilities with respect to our successor or acquirer; |
| a requirement that an executive officer report to work more than 30 miles from our existing headquarters (not including normal business travel required by the executive officers position and that is substantially comparable to the business travel historically required of the executive officer); |
| a material reduction in an executive officers base salary, bonus opportunity or benefits, except for an across-the-board reduction affecting all or substantially all senior executives of the company and that is implemented before a change in control of the company occurs; or |
| the material breach of the employment agreement by the company. |
For purposes of the employment agreements, a change in control of the company means the consummation of any of the following:
| the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the company on a consolidated basis to an unrelated person or entity; |
| a merger, reorganization, or consolidation involving the company in which the shares of voting stock outstanding immediately prior to such transaction represent or are converted into or exchanged for securities of the surviving or resulting entity immediately upon completion of such transaction that represent less than 50% of the outstanding voting power of such surviving or resulting entity; |
| the acquisition of all or a majority of the outstanding voting stock of the company in a single transaction or a series of related transactions by a person or group of persons; or |
| any other acquisition of the business of the company, as determined by the board of directors. |
Director Compensation
The following table presents the total compensation for each person who served as a non-employee member of our board of directors during 2012. Other than as set forth in the table and described more fully below, we did not pay any compensation, reimburse any expense of, make any equity awards or non-equity awards to, or pay any other compensation to any of the other non-employee members of our board of directors in 2012. Mr. Kunze, who is our President and Chief Executive Officer, receives no compensation for his service as a director and, consequently, is not included in this table. The compensation received by Mr. Kunze as an employee of the company is presented in Summary Compensation Table.

Historically, we generally did not provide our non-employee directors, in their capacities as such, with any cash, equity or other compensation, other than those disclosed in the table above and a $30,000 cash retainer paid to Ms. Davis in 2010 and 2011. In December 2012, our board of directors approved the following annual cash and equity retainers for our non-employee directors based on the recommendation of our Chief Executive Officer and the compensation committee of our board of directors:

The Annual Grant will be made to our non-employee directors then serving on our board of directors on the date of the annual meeting of stockholders, beginning with the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2014. All shares subject to an Annual Grant for a non-employee director shall vest on the one-year anniversary of the grant date, provided such non-employee director continues to be a director on such date.
Employee Stock Plans
2010 Stock Option and Grant Plan
Our 2010 Stock Option and Grant Plan, or the 2010 Plan, was adopted by our board of directors and subsequently approved by our stockholders. The 2010 Plan was an amendment and restatement of our prior option plan. As of September 30, 2012, we have reserved 8,137,500 shares of our common stock for issuance under the 2010 Plan. This number is subject to adjustment in the event of a stock split, stock dividend or other changes in our capitalization.
The 2010 Plan is administered by our board of directors. Our board of directors has the authority to delegate its authority to administer the 2010 Plan to one or more committees of the board, to select the individuals to whom awards will be granted, to make any combination of awards to participants, to accelerate the exercisability or vesting of any award, to provide substitute awards and to determine the specific terms and conditions of each award.
The 2010 Plan permits us to make grants of incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options and direct awards or sales of shares of restricted common stock to officers, employees, directors, consultants and other key persons (including prospective employees but conditioned on their employment).
Upon a change in control in which all awards are not assumed, substituted with awards issued by the successor entity, or substituted with cash consideration, the 2010 Plan and awards issued thereunder will be subject to accelerated vesting and, in the case of stock options, full exercisability, followed by the cancellation of such awards.
All employee stock option awards are covered by a stock option agreement and vest in accordance with the vesting schedule set forth in such stock option agreement. Our board of directors may choose to accelerate the vesting schedule, and some employees are entitled to acceleration upon a change of control. We have not engaged in any option repricing or other modification to any outstanding equity awards.
Our board of directors has determined not to grant any further awards under the 2010 Plan after the completion of the offering. Following the consummation of our initial public offering, we expect to make future awards under the 2012 Plan.
2012 Stock Option and Incentive Plan
In December 2012, our board of directors, upon the recommendation of the compensation committee of the board of directors, adopted our 2012 Stock Option and Incentive Plan, or the 2012 Plan, which was subsequently approved by our stockholders. The 2012 Plan will replace the 2010 Plan as our board of directors has determined
103
not to make additional awards under that plan following the consummation of our initial public offering. Our 2012 Plan provides flexibility to our compensation committee to use various equity-based incentive awards as compensation tools to motivate our workforce.
We have initially reserved 3,000,000 shares of our common stock for the issuance of awards under the 2012 Plan. The 2012 Plan provides that the number of shares reserved and available for issuance under the plan will automatically increase each January 1, beginning on January 1, 2014, by 4% of the outstanding number of shares of our common stock on the immediately preceding December 31 or such lesser number of shares as determined by our compensation committee. This number is subject to adjustment in the event of a stock split, stock dividend or other change in our capitalization.
The shares of common stock underlying any awards that are forfeited, cancelled, held back upon exercise or settlement of an award to satisfy the exercise price or tax withholding, reacquired by us prior to vesting, satisfied without any issuance of stock, expire or are otherwise terminated (other than by exercise) under the 2012 Plan and 2010 Plan will be added back to the shares of common stock available for issuance under the 2012 Plan.
The 2012 Plan is administered by our compensation committee. Our compensation committee has full power to select, from among the individuals eligible for awards, the individuals to whom awards will be granted, to make any combination of awards to individuals, and to determine the specific terms and conditions of each award, subject to the provisions of the 2012 Plan. Individuals eligible to participate in the 2012 Plan will be those full- or part-time officers, employees, non-employee directors and other key persons (including consultants and prospective employees) as selected from time to time by our compensation committee in its discretion.
The 2012 Plan permits the granting of both options to purchase common stock intended to qualify as incentive stock options under Section 422 of the Code and options that do not so qualify. The option exercise price of each option will be determined by our compensation committee but may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant. The term of each option will be fixed by our compensation committee and may not exceed 10 years from the date of grant. Our compensation committee will determine at what time or times each option may be exercised.
Our compensation committee may award stock appreciation rights subject to such conditions and restrictions as we may determine. Stock appreciation rights entitle the recipient to shares of common stock, or cash, equal to the value of the appreciation in our stock price over the exercise price. The exercise price is the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant.
Our compensation committee may award restricted shares of common stock and restricted stock units to participants subject to such conditions and restrictions as we may determine. These conditions and restrictions may include the achievement of certain performance goals and/or continued employment with us through a specified vesting period. Our compensation committee may also grant shares of common stock that are free from any restrictions under the 2012 Plan. Unrestricted stock may be granted to participants in recognition of past services or other valid consideration and may be issued in lieu of cash compensation due to such participant.
Our compensation committee may grant performance share awards to participants that entitle the recipient to receive shares of common stock upon the achievement of certain performance goals and such other conditions as our compensation committee shall determine.
Our compensation committee may grant cash bonuses under the 2012 Plan to participants, subject to the achievement of certain performance goals.
Our compensation committee may grant awards of restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance shares or cash-based awards under the 2012 Plan that are intended to qualify as performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code. Those awards would only vest or become payable upon the attainment of performance goals that are established by our compensation committee and related to one or more
104
performance criteria. The performance criteria that would be used with respect to any such awards include: earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization; net income (loss) (either before or after interest, taxes, depreciation and/or amortization); changes in the market price of our common stock; economic value-added; funds from operations or similar measure; sales or revenue; acquisitions or strategic transactions; operating income (loss), cash flow (including, but not limited to, operating cash flow and free cash flow), return on capital, assets, equity, or investment; stockholder returns; return on sales; gross or net profit levels; productivity; expense; margins; operating efficiency; customer satisfaction; working capital; earnings (loss) per share of stock; sales or market shares and number of customers; any of which may be measured either in absolute terms or as compared to any incremental increase or as compared to results of a peer group. From and after the time that we become subject to Section 162(m) of the Code, the maximum award that is intended to qualify as performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code that may be made to any one employee during any one calendar year period is 1,500,000 shares of common stock with respect to a stock-based award and $2,000,000 with respect to a cash-based award.
The 2012 Plan provides that in the case of, and subject to, the consummation of a sale event as defined in the 2012 Plan, all outstanding awards will be assumed, substituted or otherwise continued by the successor entity. To the extent that the successor entity does not assume, substitute or otherwise continue such awards, then all stock options and stock appreciation rights will automatically become fully exercisable and the restrictions and conditions on all other awards with time-based conditions will automatically be deemed waived, and awards with conditions and restrictions relating to the attainment of performance goals may become vested and non-forfeitable in connection with a sale event in the Compensation Committees discretion and, upon the effectiveness of the sale event, all stock options and stock appreciation rights and other awards will automatically terminate. In the event of such termination, individuals holding options and stock appreciation rights will be permitted to exercise such options and stock appreciation rights prior to the sale event. In addition, in connection with a sale event, we may make or provide for a cash payment to participants holding options and stock appreciation rights equal to the difference between the per share cash consideration payable to stockholders in the sale event and the exercise price of the options or stock appreciation rights.
Our board of directors may amend or discontinue the 2012 Plan and our compensation committee may amend or cancel outstanding awards for purposes of satisfying changes in law or any other lawful purpose, but no such action may adversely affect rights under an individuals award without the individuals consent. Certain amendments to the 2012 Plan require the approval of our stockholders.
No awards may be granted under the 2012 Plan after the date that is 10 years from the date of stockholder approval. No awards under the 2012 Plan have been made prior to our initial public offering.
Section 401(k) Plan
We maintain a tax-qualified retirement plan that provides eligible employees with an opportunity to save for retirement on a tax-advantaged basis. All participants interests in their contributions are 100% vested when contributed. Historically, we have not made any matching contributions to the Section 401(k) plan. Pre-tax contributions are allocated to each participants individual account and are then invested in selected investment alternatives according to the participants directions. The retirement plan is intended to qualify under Sections 401(a) and 501(a) of the Code.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PERSON TRANSACTIONS
In addition to the director and executive officer compensation arrangements discussed above under Compensation, the following is a description of transactions, or series of related transactions, since January 1, 2010, to which we were or will be a party in which the amount involved exceeded or will exceed $120,000 and in which the other parties included or will include our directors, executive officers, holders of more than 5% of our voting securities, each a Beneficial Owner, or any member of the immediate family of any of the foregoing persons.
Private Placements of Securities
Series F Preferred Stock Financing
From December 2009 to November 2011, we sold 5,087,608 shares of our Series F preferred stock at a price of $11.45 per share for an aggregate price of $58,250,010. Of that amount, we sold 3,755,659 shares of our Series F preferred stock for an aggregate price of $43,000,004 to investors that were our affiliates at such time, including entities affiliated with Sequoia Capital, New Enterprise Associates, Agilus Ventures, T. Rowe Price and DAG Ventures.
Investors Rights Agreement
In December 2009, in connection with the initial closing of our Series F preferred stock financing, we entered into a Fourth Amended and Restated Investors Rights Agreement, which was subsequently amended, or Investors Rights Agreement, with the holders of our outstanding preferred stock, including entities with which certain of our directors are affiliated, and our co-founders. In February 2010, we entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Investors Rights Agreement, the Third Amended and Restated Voting Agreement and the Fourth Amended and Restated Right of First Refusal and Co-Sale Agreement, with new and existing holders of our preferred stock, including entities with which certain of our directors are affiliated, and our co-founders. Upon the completion of this offering, the holders of shares of our common stock, including shares issuable in connection with the automatic conversion of all outstanding shares of our preferred stock into common stock, are entitled to rights with respect to the registration of their shares following this offering under the Securities Act. See Description of Capital StockRegistration Rights for more information regarding these registration rights.
Right of First Refusal and Co-Sale Agreement
In December 2009, in connection with the initial closing of our Series F preferred stock financing, we entered into a Fourth Amended and Restated Right of First Refusal and Co-Sale Agreement, which was subsequently amended in February 2010, with the holders of our outstanding preferred stock, including entities with which certain of our directors are affiliated, and our co-founders, which imposes restrictions on the transfer of our capital stock. Upon the closing of this offering, the right of first refusal and co-sale agreement will terminate and the restrictions on the transfer of our capital stock set forth in this agreement will no longer apply.
Voting Agreement
In December 2009, in connection with the initial closing of our Series F preferred stock financing, we entered into a Third Amended and Restated Voting Agreement, which was subsequently amended in February 2010, with the holders of our outstanding preferred stock, including entities with which certain of our directors are affiliated, and our co-founders, under which such parties have agreed to vote their shares on certain matters, including with respect to the election of directors. Upon the closing of this offering, the voting agreement will terminate and none of our stockholders will have any special rights regarding the election or designation of members of our board of directors or the voting of capital stock of the company.
106
Transactions With Our Executive Officers, Directors and Beneficial Owners
Employment Agreements
We have entered into employment agreements with our executive officers. These agreements provide for severance benefits and acceleration of the vesting of stock options. See Compensation Employment Agreements and Termination of Employment Arrangements for more information regarding these agreements.
Indemnification Agreements
We have entered into indemnification agreements governed by California law and intend to enter into indemnification agreements governed by Delaware law with each of our directors and executive officers. The new agreements will require us to indemnify these individuals and, in certain cases, affiliates of such individuals, to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware law against liabilities that may arise by reason of their service to us, and to advance expenses incurred as a result of any proceeding against them as to which they could be indemnified.
Stock Option Awards
For information regarding stock option awards granted to our Named Executive Officers and directors, see CompensationExecutive Compensation Design Overview, CompensationCompensation Tables, CompensationEmployment Agreements and Termination of Employment Arrangements and CompensationDirector Compensation.
Limitation of Liability and Indemnification of Officers and Directors
In December 2012, we adopted an amended and restated certificate of incorporation, which will become effective immediately prior to the closing of this offering, and which contains provisions that limit the liability of our directors for monetary damages to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. Consequently, our directors will not be personally liable to us or our stockholders for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duties as directors, except liability for the following:
| any breach of their duty of loyalty to our company or our stockholders; |
| any act or omission not in good faith or that involves intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; |
| unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions as provided in Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law; or |
| any transaction from which they derived an improper personal benefit. |
Any amendment to, or repeal of, these provisions will not eliminate or reduce the effect of these provisions in respect of any act, omission or claim that occurred or arose prior to that amendment or repeal. If the Delaware General Corporation Law is amended to provide for further limitations on the personal liability of directors of corporations, then the personal liability of our directors will be further limited to the greatest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law.
In addition, in December 2012, we adopted amended and restated bylaws, which will become effective immediately prior to the closing of this offering, and which provide that we will indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any person who is or was a party or is threatened to be made a party to any action, suit or proceeding by reason of the fact that he or she is or was one of our directors or officers or is or was serving at our request as a director or officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise. Our amended and restated bylaws provide that we may indemnify to the fullest extent permitted by law any person who is or was a party or is threatened to be made a party to any action, suit, or proceeding by reason of the fact
107
that he or she is or was one of our employees or agents or is or was serving at our request as an employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise. Our amended and restated bylaws also provide that we must advance expenses incurred by or on behalf of a director or officer in advance of the final disposition of any action or proceeding, subject to very limited exceptions.
Further, prior to the completion of this offering, we expect to enter into indemnification agreements with each of our directors and executive officers that may be broader than the specific indemnification provisions contained in the Delaware General Corporation Law. These indemnification agreements will require us, among other things, to indemnify our directors and executive officers against liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service. These indemnification agreements will also require us to advance all expenses incurred by the directors and executive officers in investigating or defending any such action, suit, or proceeding. We believe that these agreements are necessary to attract and retain qualified individuals to serve as directors and executive officers.
The limitation of liability and indemnification provisions that are included in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, amended and restated bylaws and in indemnification agreements that we enter into with our directors and executive officers may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against our directors and executive officers for breach of their fiduciary duties. They may also reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation against our directors and executive officers, even though an action, if successful, might benefit us and other stockholders. Further, a stockholders investment may be adversely affected to the extent that we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and executive officers as required by these indemnification provisions. At present, we are not aware of any pending litigation or proceeding involving any person who is or was one of our directors, officers, employees or other agents or is or was serving at our request as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, for which indemnification is sought, and we are not aware of any threatened litigation that may result in claims for indemnification. We have obtained insurance policies under which, subject to the limitations of the policies, coverage is provided to our directors and executive officers against loss arising from claims made by reason of breach of fiduciary duty or other wrongful acts as a director or executive officer, including claims relating to public securities matters, and coverage is provided to us with respect to payments that may be made by us to these directors and executive officers pursuant to our indemnification obligations or otherwise as a matter of law.
Certain of our non-employee directors may, through their relationships with their employers, be insured and/or indemnified against certain liabilities incurred in their capacity as members of our board of directors. The underwriting agreement provides for indemnification by the underwriters of us and our officers, directors and employees for certain liabilities arising under the Securities Act, or otherwise.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.
Review, Approval and Ratification of Transactions with Related Parties
Our board of directors reviews and approves transactions with directors, officers and Beneficial Owners, each of whom is a related party. Prior to our board of directors consideration of a transaction with a related party, the material facts as to the related partys relationship or interest in the transaction was disclosed to our board of directors, and the transaction was approved by our board of directors unless a majority of the directors who were not interested in the transaction approved the transaction. We have put into place a related party transactions policy which will require, among other items, that such transactions must be approved by our audit committee or another independent body of our board of directors.
108
PRINCIPAL AND SELLING STOCKHOLDERS
The following table sets forth information with respect to the beneficial ownership of our common stock, as of September 30, 2012, the most recent practicable date, and as adjusted to reflect the sale of common stock offered by us and the selling stockholders in this offering, for:
| each beneficial owner of more than 5% of our outstanding common stock; |
| each of our Named Executive Officers and directors; |
| all of our executive officers and directors as a group; and |
| each of the selling stockholders. |
Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC. These rules generally attribute beneficial ownership of securities to persons who possess sole or shared voting power or investment power with respect to those securities and include shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of stock options that are immediately exercisable or exercisable within 60 days. Except as otherwise indicated, all of the shares reflected in the table are shares of common stock and all persons listed below have sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares beneficially owned by them, subject to applicable community property laws. The information is not necessarily indicative of beneficial ownership for any other purpose.
Percentage ownership calculations for beneficial ownership prior to this offering are based on 26,508,253 shares outstanding as of September 30, 2012, assuming the conversion of all of the outstanding preferred stock. Percentage ownership calculations for beneficial ownership after this offering are based on shares outstanding after this offering, assuming no purchases of shares by our executive officers, directors or 5% stockholders and no exercise of the underwriters option to purchase additional shares. Except as otherwise indicated in the table below, addresses of named beneficial owners are in care of Xoom Corporation, 100 Bush Street, Suite 300, San Francisco, California 94104.
In computing the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by a person and the percentage ownership of that person, we deemed outstanding shares of common stock subject to options or warrants held by that person that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of September 30, 2012. We did not deem these shares outstanding, however, for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person.

The following descriptions are summaries of the material terms of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws, which will be effective upon consummation of this offering. The descriptions of the common stock and preferred stock give effect to changes to our capital structure that will occur immediately prior to the closing of this offering. We refer in this section to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation as our certificate of incorporation, and we refer to our amended and restated bylaws as our bylaws.
General
Upon completion of this offering, our authorized capital stock will consist of 500,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and 25,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share, all of which shares of preferred stock will be undesignated.
As of September 30, 2012, 26,508,253 shares of our common stock were outstanding and held by 123 stockholders of record. This amount assumes the conversion of all outstanding shares of our preferred stock and accumulated dividends thereon into common stock, which will occur immediately prior to the closing of this offering. In addition, as of September 30, 2012, we had outstanding options to purchase 6,688,211 shares of our common stock under our 2010 Plan, at a weighted average exercise price of $4.97 per share, 3,192,026 of which were exercisable, and outstanding warrants to purchase 35,778 shares of our common stock.
Common Stock
The holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders. The holders of our common stock do not have any cumulative voting rights. Holders of our common stock are entitled to receive ratably any dividends declared by the board of directors out of funds legally available for that purpose, subject to any preferential dividend rights of any outstanding preferred stock. Our common stock has no preemptive rights, conversion rights or other subscription rights or redemption or sinking fund provisions.
In the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, holders of our common stock will be entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining after payment of all debts and other liabilities and any liquidation preference of any outstanding preferred stock. The shares to be issued by us in this offering will be, when issued and paid for, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
Preferred Stock
As of September 30, 2012, there were 21,444,251 shares of our preferred stock outstanding. Immediately prior to the closing of this offering, we expect each outstanding share of our preferred stock to convert into one share of common stock. Pursuant to Article IV(4)(b) of our certificate of incorporation as currently in effect, such conversion automatically occurs immediately prior to the closing of a firm commitment underwritten initial public offering of our common stock that results in aggregate net proceeds of at least $20,000,000, or upon the written request from the holders of a majority of the preferred stock then outstanding.
Upon the closing of this offering, our board of directors may, subject to any limitations prescribed by law, without stockholder approval, to issue from time to time up to an aggregate of 25,000,000 shares of preferred stock, in one or more series, each series to have such rights and preferences, including voting rights, dividend rights, conversion rights, redemption privileges and liquidation preferences as our board of directors determines. The rights of the holders of common stock will be subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of holders of any preferred stock that may be issued in the future. Immediately prior to the closing of this offering, we will have no shares of preferred stock outstanding and we have no present plans to issue any shares of preferred stock.
113
Warrants
As of September 30, 2012, we had outstanding warrants to purchase 35,778 shares of common stock at a weighted-average exercise price of $4.84 per share. The warrants were issued in connection with a loan and security agreement and will expire on October 29, 2015 and April 30, 2022. The warrants contains a provision for the adjustment of the exercise price and the number of shares issuable upon the exercise of the warrant in the event of certain stock dividends, stock splits, reclassifications and consolidations. The warrants contains a customary cashless exercise feature, which allows the warrant holder to pay the exercise price of the warrant by forfeiting a portion of the exercised warrant shares with a value equal to the aggregate exercise price. In addition, if the fair market value of the warrant at the expiration date is greater than the exercise price, any unexercised portion of the warrant will automatically be converted into shares of common stock via the cashless exercise feature.
Registration Rights
Upon the completion of this offering, the holders of an aggregate of shares of our common stock, including shares issuable upon the conversion of preferred stock or their permitted transferees, are entitled to rights with respect to the registration of these shares under the Securities Act. These rights are provided under the terms of the Investors Rights Agreement between us and the holders of these shares, and include demand registration rights, short-form registration rights and piggyback registration rights. All fees, costs and expenses of underwritten registrations will be borne by us and all selling expenses, including underwriting discounts and selling commissions, will be borne by the holders of the shares being registered.
Demand Registration Rights. Upon the completion of this offering, the holders of an aggregate of shares of our common stock, including shares issuable upon the conversion of preferred stock or their permitted transferees, are entitled to demand registration rights. Under the terms of the Investors Rights Agreement, we will be required, upon the written request of holders of forty percent (40%) or more of these shares, to use our best efforts to file a registration statement and use reasonable, diligent efforts to effect the registration of all or a portion of these shares for public resale. We are required to effect only two registrations pursuant to this provision of the Investors Rights Agreement. A demand for registration may not be made until 180 days after the completion of this offering.
Short Form Registration Rights. Upon the completion of this offering, the holders of an aggregate of shares of our common stock, including shares issuable upon the conversion of preferred stock or their permitted transferees, are also entitled to short form registration rights. If we are eligible to file a registration statement on Form S-3, upon the written request of any of these holders to sell registrable securities at an aggregate price of at least $1,000,000, we will be required to use our best efforts to effect a registration of such shares. We are required to effect only two registrations in any twelve month period pursuant to this provision of the Investors Rights Agreement.
Piggyback Registration Rights. Upon the completion of this offering, the holders of an aggregate of shares of our common stock, including shares issuable upon the conversion of preferred stock or their permitted transferees, are entitled to piggyback registration rights. If we register any of our securities either for our own account or for the account of other security holders, the holders of these shares are entitled to include their shares in the registration. Subject to certain exceptions, we and the underwriters may limit the number of shares included in the underwritten offering if the underwriters believe that including these shares would adversely affect the offering.
Indemnification. Our Investors Rights Agreement contains customary cross-indemnification provisions, under which we are obligated to indemnify holders of registrable securities in the event of material misstatements or omissions in the registration statement attributable to us, and they are obligated to indemnify us for material misstatements or omissions attributable to them.
Expiration of Registration Rights. The registration rights granted under the Investors Rights Agreement will terminate on the fifth anniversary of the completion of this offering.
114
Anti-Takeover Effects of Our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws and Delaware Law
Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws include a number of provisions that may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing another party from acquiring control of us and encouraging persons considering unsolicited tender offers or other unilateral takeover proposals to negotiate with our board of directors rather than pursue non-negotiated takeover attempts. These provisions include the items described below.
Board Composition and Filling Vacancies. Our certificate of incorporation provides for the division of our board of directors into three classes serving staggered three-year terms, with one class being elected each year. Our certificate of incorporation also provides that directors may be removed only for cause and then only by the affirmative vote of the holders of 66 2/3% or more of the shares then entitled to vote at an election of directors. Furthermore, any vacancy on our board of directors, however occurring, including a vacancy resulting from an increase in the size of our board, may only be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of our directors then in office even if less than a quorum. The classification of directors, together with the limitations on removal of directors and treatment of vacancies, has the effect of making it more difficult for stockholders to change the composition of our board of directors.
No Written Consent of Stockholders. Our certificate of incorporation provides that all stockholder actions are required to be taken by a vote of the stockholders at an annual or special meeting, and that stockholders may not take any action by written consent in lieu of a meeting. This limit may lengthen the amount of time required to take stockholder actions and would prevent the amendment of our bylaws or removal of directors by our stockholders without holding a meeting of stockholders.
Meetings of Stockholders. Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws provide that only a majority of the members of our board of directors then in office may call special meetings of stockholders and only those matters set forth in the notice of the special meeting may be considered or acted upon at a special meeting of stockholders. Our bylaws limit the business that may be conducted at an annual meeting of stockholders to those matters properly brought before the meeting.
Advance Notice Requirements. Our bylaws establish advance notice procedures with regard to stockholder proposals relating to the nomination of candidates for election as directors or new business to be brought before meetings of our stockholders. These procedures provide that notice of stockholder proposals must be timely given in writing to our corporate secretary prior to the meeting at which the action is to be taken. Generally, to be timely, notice must be received at our principal executive offices not less than 90 days nor more than 120 days prior to the first anniversary date of the annual meeting for the preceding year. Our bylaws specify the requirements as to form and content of all stockholders notices. These requirements may preclude stockholders from bringing matters before the stockholders at an annual or special meeting.
Amendment to Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws. Any amendment of our certificate of incorporation must first be approved by a majority of our board of directors, and if required by law or our certificate of incorporation, must thereafter be approved by a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote on the amendment and a majority of the outstanding shares of each class entitled to vote thereon as a class, except that the amendment of the provisions relating to stockholder action, board composition, limitation of liability and the amendment of our certificate of incorporation must be approved by not less than 66 2/3% of the outstanding shares entitled to vote on the amendment, and not less than 66 2/3% of the outstanding shares of each class entitled to vote thereon as a class. Our bylaws may be amended by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors then in office, subject to any limitations set forth in the bylaws; and may also be amended by the affirmative vote of at least 66 2/3% of the outstanding shares entitled to vote on the amendment, or, if our board of directors recommends that the stockholders approve the amendment, by the affirmative vote of the majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote on the amendment, in each case voting together as a single class.
Undesignated Preferred Stock. Our certificate of incorporation provides for 25,000,000 authorized shares of preferred stock. The existence of authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock may enable our board of
115
directors to render more difficult or to discourage an attempt to obtain control of us by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise. For example, if in the due exercise of its fiduciary obligations, our board of directors were to determine that a takeover proposal is not in the best interests of our stockholders, our board of directors could cause shares of preferred stock to be issued without stockholder approval in one or more private offerings or other transactions that might dilute the voting or other rights of the proposed acquirer or insurgent stockholder or stockholder group. In this regard, our certificate of incorporation grants our board of directors broad power to establish the rights and preferences of authorized and unissued shares of preferred stock. The issuance of shares of preferred stock could decrease the amount of earnings and assets available for distribution to holders of shares of common stock. The issuance may also adversely affect the rights and powers, including voting rights, of these holders and may have the effect of delaying, deterring or preventing a change in control of us.
Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law
Upon completion of this offering, we will be subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. In general, Section 203 prohibits a publicly held Delaware corporation from engaging in a business combination with an interested stockholder for a three-year period following the time that this stockholder becomes an interested stockholder, unless the business combination is approved in a prescribed manner. Under Section 203, a business combination between a corporation and an interested stockholder is prohibited unless it satisfies one of the following conditions:
| before the stockholder became interested, our board of directors approved either the business combination or the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder; |
| upon consummation of the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding for purposes of determining the voting stock outstanding, shares owned by persons who are directors and also officers, and employee stock plans, in some instances, but not the outstanding voting stock owned by the interested stockholder; or |
| at or after the time the stockholder became interested, the business combination was approved by our board of directors and authorized at an annual or special meeting of the stockholders by the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the outstanding voting stock which is not owned by the interested stockholder. |
Section 203 defines a business combination to include:
| any merger or consolidation involving the corporation and the interested stockholder; |
| any sale, transfer, lease, pledge or other disposition involving the interested stockholder of 10% or more of the assets of the corporation; |
| subject to exceptions, any transaction that results in the issuance of transfer by the corporation of any stock of the corporation to the interested stockholder; |
| subject to exceptions, any transaction involving the corporation that has the effect of increasing the proportionate share of the stock of any class or series of the corporation beneficially owned by the interested stockholder; and |
| the receipt by the interested stockholder of the benefit of any loans, advances, guarantees, pledges or other financial benefits provided by or through the corporation. |
In general, Section 203 defines an interested stockholder as any entity or person beneficially owning 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation and any entity or person affiliated with or controlling or controlled by the entity or person.

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE
Immediately prior to this offering, there was no public market for our common stock. Future sales of substantial amounts of common stock in the public market, or the perception that such sales may occur, could adversely affect the market price of our common stock. Although we have applied to have our common stock approved for listing on the NASDAQ Global Market, we cannot assure you that there will be an active public market for our common stock.
Upon completion of this offering, we will have outstanding an aggregate of shares of common stock, assuming no exercise of the underwriters option to purchase additional shares and no exercise of outstanding stock options or warrants. Of these shares, the shares sold in this offering will be freely tradable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act, except for any shares held by our affiliates, as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act, whose sales would be subject to certain limitations and restrictions described below. The remaining shares of common stock held by existing stockholders will be restricted securities as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act. Restricted securities may be sold in the public market only if registered or it they qualify for exemption under Rules 144 or 701 under the Securities Act, which rules are summarized below, or another exemption.
As a result of the lock-up agreements described below and the provisions of Rule 144 and Rule 701 under the Securities Act, the shares of our common stock (excluding the shares sold in this offering) that will be available for sale in the public market are as follows:

Stock Plans
We intend to file one or more registration statements on Form S-8 under the Securities Act to register all shares of our common stock issuable or reserved for issuance under our stock option plans.

This consent may be given at any time. There are no agreements between Barclays Capital Inc., the company and any of our securityholders or affiliates releasing them from these lock-up agreements prior to the expiration of the 180-day period.
118

These sales of our common stock by any such person would be subject to the availability of current public information about us if the shares to be sold were beneficially owned by such person for less than one year.
In addition, under Rule 144, a person may sell shares of our common stock acquired from us immediately upon the closing of this offering, without regard to volume limitations or the availability of public information about us, if:
| the person is not our affiliate and has not been our affiliate at any time during the preceding three months; and |
| the person has beneficially owned the shares to be sold for at least one year, including the holding period of any prior owner other than one of our affiliates. |

| 1% of the number of shares of our common stock then outstanding, which will equal approximately shares immediately after this offering; and |
| the average weekly trading volume in our common stock on the NASDAQ Global Market during the four calendar weeks preceding the date of filing of a Notice of Proposed Sale of Securities Pursuant to Rule 144 with respect to the sale. |
Sales under Rule 144 by our affiliates are also subject to manner of sale provisions and notice requirements and to the availability of current public information about us.
Rule 701

Upon the completion of this offering, the holders of shares of our common stock, including shares issuable in connection with the automatic conversion of all outstanding shares of our preferred stock into common stock, are entitled to rights with respect to the registration of such shares under the Securities Act.

CERTAIN MATERIAL U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS
The following is a summary of certain material U.S. federal income tax considerations relating to the acquisition, ownership and disposition of our common stock issued pursuant to this offering. This summary deals only with common stock held as a capital asset by a stockholder, and does not discuss the U.S. federal income tax considerations applicable to a stockholder that is subject to special treatment under U.S. federal income tax laws, including: a dealer in securities or currencies; a financial institution; a regulated investment company; a real estate investment trust; a tax-exempt organization; an insurance company; a person holding common stock as part of a hedging, integrated, conversion or straddle transaction or a person deemed to sell common stock under the constructive sale provisions of the Code; a trader in securities that has elected the mark-to-market method of accounting; an entity that is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes; a person that received such common stock in connection with services provided to the company or any of its affiliates; a U.S. person whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar; a controlled foreign corporation; a passive foreign investment company; or a U.S. expatriate.
This summary is based upon provisions of the Code, and applicable regulations, rulings and judicial decisions in effect as of the date hereof. Those authorities may be changed, perhaps retroactively, or may be subject to differing interpretations, so as to result in U.S. federal income tax consequences different from those discussed below. No assurance can be given that the Internal Revenue Service, or IRS, would not assert, or that a court would not sustain, a position contrary to any of the tax consequences described below. We have not sought and will not seek an advance ruling from the IRS regarding any matter discussed herein. This summary does not address all aspects of U.S. federal income tax, does not deal with all tax considerations that may be relevant to stockholders in light of their personal circumstances and does not address any state, local, foreign, gift, estate or alternative minimum tax considerations.
For purposes of this discussion, a U.S. holder is a beneficial holder of common stock that is: an individual citizen or resident of the United States for U.S. federal income tax purposes; a corporation (or any other entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia; an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source; a trust if it (1) is subject to the primary supervision of a court within the United States and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (2) has a valid election in effect under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations to be treated as a U.S. person.
For purposes of this discussion, a non-U.S. holder is a beneficial holder of common stock (other than a partnership or any other entity or arrangement that is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) that is not a U.S. holder.
If a partnership (or an entity or arrangement that is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) holds common stock, the tax treatment of a partner will generally depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. A partner of a partnership holding common stock is particularly urged to consult its own tax advisors.
Holders of common stock are urged to consult their own tax advisors concerning their particular U.S. federal income tax consequences in light of their specific situations, as well as the tax consequences arising under the laws of any other taxing jurisdiction, including any state, local and foreign income and other tax laws.

U.S. Holders
The following discussion is a summary of certain U.S. federal income tax considerations relevant to a U.S. holder of common stock.
Distributions. Distributions with respect to common stock, if any, will be includible in the gross income of a U.S. holder as ordinary dividend income to the extent paid out of current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Any portion of a distribution in excess of current or accumulated earnings and profits would be treated as a return of the holders adjusted tax basis in its common stock (to the extent thereof) and as such would not be taxable to a U.S. holder. To the extent that such distribution exceeds the adjusted tax basis of a U.S. holders common stock, such excess will be taxable as capital gain from the sale or exchange of the common stock. If certain requirements are met (including certain holding period requirements), any dividends paid to a holder of common stock who is a U.S. individual will generally be subject to U.S. federal income tax at favorable capital gain rates applicable to the individual. Treatment of dividends as long term capital gain will not apply to dividends received to the extent that the U.S. holder elects to treat dividends as investment income, which may be offset by investment expense.
Distributions constituting dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes that are paid to U.S. holders that are corporate stockholders may qualify for the 70% dividends received deduction, or DRD, which is generally available to corporate stockholders that own less than 20% of the voting power or value of the outstanding stock of the distributing corporation. A U.S. holder that is a corporate stockholder holding 20% or more of the distributing corporation (by vote and value) may be eligible for an 80% DRD with respect to any such dividends. No assurance can be given that we will have sufficient earnings and profits (as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes) to cause any distributions to be treated as dividends eligible for a DRD. In addition, a DRD is available only if certain other requirements are satisfied, and a DRD may be subject to limitations in certain circumstances, which are not discussed here.
Sale, Exchange, Redemption or Certain Other Taxable Dispositions of our Common Stock. A U.S. holder of common stock will generally recognize gain or loss on the taxable sale, exchange, redemption (provided the redemption is treated as a sale or exchange), or other taxable disposition of such stock in an amount equal to the difference between such U.S. holders amount realized on the sale and its tax basis in the common stock sold. A U.S. holders amount realized should equal the amount of cash and the fair market value of any property received in consideration of its stock. The gain or loss will be capital gain or loss, and will be long-term capital gain or loss if the common stock is held for more than one year at the time of disposition. Capital loss can generally only be used to offset capital gain (individuals may also offset excess capital losses against up to $3,000 of ordinary income per tax year). In general, long-term capital gain recognized by an individual U.S. holder is subject to U.S. federal income tax at favorable capital gain rates applicable to the individual. Any gain recognized by a U.S. holder of common stock will be short-term capital gain and will be taxed at ordinary income rates if the stock is held for one year or less at the time of disposition.
If a stockholder recognizes a loss upon a disposition of common stock in an amount that exceeds a prescribed threshold, it is possible that the provisions of Treasury Regulations involving reportable transactions could apply, with a resulting requirement to separately disclose the loss-generating transaction to the IRS. These regulations, though directed towards tax shelters, are broadly written, and apply to transactions that would not typically be considered tax shelters. The Code imposes significant penalties for failure to comply with these requirements. Stockholders should consult their own tax advisors concerning any possible disclosure obligation with respect to the receipt or disposition of the common stock.
New Medicare Tax Legislation. An additional 3.8% Medicare tax will be imposed on certain net investment income of certain U.S. stockholders that are individuals, estates and trusts that do not fall into a special class of trusts that is exempt from such tax to the extent that such persons modified adjusted gross income (in the case of an individual) or adjusted gross income (in the case of an estate or trust) exceeds a threshold amount. Net
121
investment income generally includes dividends and net gains from the disposition of our common stock, unless such dividend or net gains are derived in the ordinary course of the conduct of a trade or business (other than a trade or business that consists of certain passive or trading activities). U.S. stockholders that are individuals, estates or trusts should consult their tax advisors regarding the effect, if any, of the Medicare Tax on their ownership and disposition of our common stock.
Information Reporting and Backup Withholding Tax. When required, we or our paying agent will report to our U.S. holders and the IRS the amounts paid on or with respect to our common stock during each calendar year, and the amount of any tax withheld from such payments. Under U.S. federal income tax law, dividends and proceeds from the sale of our common stock may, under certain circumstances, be subject to backup withholding at the then applicable rate. Backup withholding generally applies to a U.S. holder if the holder (i) fails to furnish to us or our paying agent a correct social security number or other taxpayer identification number, or TIN, or fails to furnish a certification of exempt status, (ii) has been notified by the IRS that it is subject to backup withholding as a result of the failure to properly report payments of interest or dividends or (iii) under certain circumstances, fails to provide a certified statement, signed under penalty of perjury, that the TIN provided is its correct number and that it is a U.S. person that is not subject to backup withholding. A U.S. holder may be eligible for an exemption from backup withholding by providing a properly completed IRS Form W-9 to us or our paying agent. Backup withholding is not an additional tax but merely an advance payment, which may be refunded to the extent it results in an overpayment of tax and the appropriate information is supplied to the IRS. Certain U.S. persons are exempt from backup withholding, including corporations, and in certain circumstances, financial institutions.
Non-U.S. Holders
The following is a summary of certain U.S. federal tax considerations applicable to a non-U.S. holder of common stock.
Distributions. Distributions treated as dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes that are paid to a non-U.S. holder, if any, with respect to shares of common stock will be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax at a 30% rate (or lower applicable income tax treaty rate) unless the dividends are effectively connected with the non-U.S. holders conduct of a trade or business in the United States. If a non-U.S. holder is engaged in a trade or business in the United States and dividends with respect to the common stock are effectively connected with the conduct of that trade or business and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, are attributable to a U.S. permanent establishment or fixed base, then the non-U.S. holder will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on those dividends on a net income basis in the same manner as if received by a U.S. person as defined under the Code (although the dividends will be exempt from the 30% U.S. federal withholding tax, provided certain certification requirements are satisfied). Any such effectively connected income received by a foreign corporation may, under certain circumstances, be subject to an additional branch profits tax at a 30% rate (or lower applicable income tax treaty rate). To claim the exemption from withholding with respect to any such effectively connected income, the non-U.S. holder must generally furnish to us or our transfer agent a properly executed IRS Form W-8ECI (or applicable successor form).
A non-U.S. holder who wishes to claim the benefit of an exemption or reduced rate of U.S. federal withholding tax under an applicable treaty must furnish to us or our transfer agent a valid IRS Form W-8BEN (or applicable successor form) certifying such holders qualification for the exemption or reduced rate. If a non-U.S. holder is eligible for a reduced rate of U.S. federal withholding tax pursuant to an income tax treaty, it may obtain a refund of any excess amounts withheld by filing an appropriate claim for refund with the IRS.
A non-U.S. holder will not incur tax on a distribution in excess of our current and accumulated earnings and profits if the excess portion of the distribution does not exceed the adjusted basis of the non-U.S. holders common stock. Instead, the excess portion of the distribution will reduce the adjusted basis of that stock. A non-U.S. holder will be subject to tax on a distribution that exceeds both our current and accumulated earnings and profits and the adjusted basis of its stock, if the non-U.S. stockholder otherwise would be subject to tax on
122
gain from the sale or disposition of its stock, as described below. If we are not able to determine whether or not a distribution will exceed current and accumulated earnings and profits at the time the distribution is made, we may withhold tax on the entire amount of any distribution at the same rate as we would withhold on a dividend. However, a non-U.S. holder may obtain a refund of amounts that we withhold to the extent that the distribution in fact exceeded our current and accumulated earnings and profits.
Sale, Exchange, Redemption or Certain Other Taxable Dispositions of Our Common Stock. Non-U.S. holders may recognize gain upon the sale, exchange, redemption (provided the redemption is treated as a sale or exchange) or other taxable disposition of common stock. Such gain generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax unless: (i) the gain is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, is attributable to a U.S. permanent establishment or a fixed base), by a non-U.S. holder; (ii) the non-U.S. holder is a non-resident alien individual who is present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of that disposition, and certain other conditions are met; or (iii) we are or have been a U.S. real property holding corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes. We believe that we are not and we do not anticipate becoming a U.S. real property holding corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
If a non-U.S. holder is an individual described in clause (i) of the preceding paragraph, the non-U.S. holder will generally be subject to tax on the net gain at regular graduated U.S. federal income tax rates. If the non-U.S. holder is an individual described in clause (ii) of the preceding paragraph, the non-U.S. holder will generally be subject to a flat 30% tax on the gain, which may be offset by U.S. source capital losses even though the non-U.S. holder is not considered a resident of the United States. If a non-U.S. holder is a foreign corporation that falls under clause (i) of the preceding paragraph, it will be subject to tax on its net gain in the same manner as if it were a U.S. person as defined under the Code and, in addition, the non-U.S. holder may be subject to the branch profits tax at a rate equal to 30% of its effectively connected earnings and profits or at such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty. If a non-U.S. holder is eligible for the benefits of a tax treaty between the United States and its country of residence, any gain will be subject to U.S. federal income tax in the manner specified by the treaty. To claim the benefit of a treaty, a non-U.S. holder must properly submit an IRS Form W-8BEN (or suitable successor or substitute form).
Information Reporting and Backup Withholding Tax. When required, we or our paying agent will report to our non-U.S. holders of common stock and the IRS the amounts paid on or with respect to our common stock during each calendar year, and the amount of any tax withheld. These information reporting requirements apply even if no withholding was required because the distributions were effectively connected with the non-U.S. holders conduct of a United States trade or business, or withholding was reduced or eliminated by an applicable income tax treaty. This information also may be made available under a specific treaty or agreement with the tax authorities in the country in which the non-U.S. holder resides or is established. Backup withholding, however, generally will not apply to distributions to a non-U.S. holder of our common stock provided the non-U.S. holder furnishes to us or our transfer agent the required certification as to its non-U.S. status, such as by providing a valid IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8ECI, or certain other requirements are met. Notwithstanding the foregoing, backup withholding may apply if either we or our transfer agent has actual knowledge, or reason to know, that the holder is a U.S. person that is not an exempt recipient. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules will be allowed as a refund or a credit against a holders U.S. federal income tax liability provided the required information is provided to the IRS.
Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act
Under the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act, or FATCA, a 30% withholding tax will apply to dividends on, or gross proceeds from the sale or other disposition of, common stock paid to a foreign financial institution unless the foreign financial institution enters into an agreement with the U.S. Treasury to, among other things, undertake to identify accounts held by certain U.S. persons or U.S.-owned foreign entities, annually report certain information about such accounts, and withhold 30% on payments to account holders whose actions
123
prevent it from complying with these reporting and other requirements. In addition, FATCA imposes a 30% withholding tax on the same types of payments to a foreign non-financial entity unless the entity certifies that it does not have any substantial U.S. owners or furnishes identifying information regarding each substantial U.S. owner. Such payments would include U.S.-source dividends and the gross proceeds from the sale or other disposition of stock that can produce U.S.-source dividends. By its terms, FATCA generally applies to payments of dividends on, or gross proceeds from the sale or disposition of, common stock made after December 31, 2012. However, the IRS has issued guidance the defers the application of FATCAs withholding obligations to payments of dividends until January 1, 2014, and payments of gross proceeds until January 1, 2017.
On February 8, 2012, the IRS and Treasury Department issued proposed Treasury regulations that provide detailed guidance regarding the reporting, withholding and other obligations under FATCA. The proposed regulations will not be effective until issued in final form, and there can be no assurance as to when those final regulations will be issued or as to the particular form that they might take. Investors should consult their tax advisors regarding the possible impact of the FATCA rules on their investment in our common stock, including, without limitation, the process and deadlines for meeting the applicable requirements to prevent the imposition of the 30% withholding tax under FATCA.

The underwriters are committed to take and pay for all of the shares being offered by us and the selling stockholders, if any are taken, other than the shares covered by the option described below unless and until this option is exercised.
If the underwriters sell more shares than the total number set forth in the table above, the underwriters have an option to buy up to an additional shares from us. They may exercise that option for 30 days. If any shares are purchased pursuant to this option, the underwriters will severally purchase shares in approximately the same proportion as set forth in the table above.

Shares sold by the underwriters to the public will initially be offered at the initial public offering price set forth on the cover of this prospectus. Any shares sold by the underwriters to securities dealers may be sold at a discount of up to $ per share from the initial public offering price. After the initial public offering of the shares, the representative may change the offering price and the other selling terms. The offering of the shares by the underwriters is subject to receipt and acceptance and subject to the underwriters right to reject any order in whole or in part.
We, the selling stockholders and our officers, directors, and holders of substantially all of our common stock and securities convertible into our common stock, have agreed with the underwriters, subject to certain exceptions, not to dispose of or hedge any of their common stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of common stock during the period from the date of this prospectus continuing through the date
125
180 days after the date of this prospectus, except with the prior written consent of the representative and the company. There are no agreements between the representative and any of our stockholders or affiliates releasing them from these lock-up agreements prior to the expiration of the 180-day period. See Shares Eligible for Future Sale for a discussion of certain transfer restrictions.
Prior to the offering, there has been no public market for the shares. The initial public offering price will be negotiated between us and the representative. Among the factors to be considered in determining the initial public offering price of the shares, in addition to prevailing market conditions, will be our historical performance, estimates of our business potential and earnings prospects, an assessment of our management and the consideration of the above factors in relation to market valuation of companies in related businesses.
We have applied to list the common stock on the NASDAQ Global Market under the symbol XOOM. In order to meet one of the requirements for listing the common stock on NASDAQ, the underwriters have undertaken to sell lots of 100 or more shares to a minimum of 400 beneficial holders.
In connection with the offering, the underwriters may purchase and sell shares of common stock in the open market. These transactions may include short sales, stabilizing transactions and purchases to cover positions created by short sales. Short sales involve the sale by the underwriters of a greater number of shares than they are required to purchase in the offering and a short position represents the amount of such sales that have not been covered by subsequent purchases. A covered short position is a short position that is not greater than the amount of additional shares for which the underwriters option described above may be exercised. The underwriters may cover any covered short position by either exercising their option to purchase additional shares or purchasing shares in the open market. In determining the source of shares to cover the covered short position, the underwriters will consider, among other things, the price of shares available for purchase in the open market as compared to the price at which they may purchase additional shares pursuant to the option described above. Naked short sales are any short sales that create a short position greater than the amount of additional shares for which the option described above may be exercised. The underwriters must cover any naked short position by purchasing shares in the open market. A naked short position is more likely to be created if the underwriters are concerned that there may be downward pressure on the price of the common stock in the open market after pricing that could adversely affect investors who purchase in the offering. Stabilizing transactions consist of various bids for or purchases of common stock made by the underwriters in the open market prior to the completion of the offering.
The underwriters may also impose a penalty bid. This occurs when a particular underwriter repays to the underwriters a portion of the underwriting discount received by it because the representative has repurchased shares sold by or for the account of such underwriter in stabilizing or short covering transactions.
Purchases to cover a short position and stabilizing transactions, as well as other purchases by the underwriters for their own accounts, may have the effect of preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of our stock, and together with the imposition of the penalty bid, may stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the market price of the common stock. As a result, the price of the common stock may be higher than the price that otherwise might exist in the open market. The underwriters are not required to engage in these activities and may end any of these activities at any time. These transactions may be effected on the NASDAQ Global Market, in the over-the-counter market or otherwise.
In the ordinary course of our business, we have an agreement with Barclays Bank PLC, the parent entity of one of our underwriters, Barclays Capital Inc. Pursuant to this agreement, Barclays Bank PLC acts as our disbursement partner for money transfers to the U.K. and for providing these services. The expenses we have incurred in connection with the agreement with Barclays Bank PLC have been non-material.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Xoom Corporation:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Xoom Corporation and subsidiary (the Company) as of December 31, 2010 and 2011, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), stockholders equity and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2011. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Xoom Corporation and subsidiary as of December 31, 2010 and 2011 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2011, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Xoom Corporation
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(1) Organization and Description of Business
Xoom Corporation and its subsidiary (together, Xoom or the Company) is a pioneer and leader in the online consumer-to-consumer international money transfer industry. Xooms customers send money to family and friends in 30 countries.
Xoom was formed on June 15, 2001 and the Companys corporate headquarters are located in San Francisco, California.
(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
(a) Principals of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Xoom and its wholly owned subsidiary. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
(b) Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements is in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). This requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited to, reserve for transaction losses, valuation of stock-based compensation, fair value of marketable securities, certain accrued expenses and realizability of deferred tax assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(c) Unaudited Interim Financial Information
The accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2012, the consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss) and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2012 and the consolidated statement of stockholders equity for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and related note information are unaudited. The unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual consolidated financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Companys financial position and stockholders equity as of September 30, 2012, and the results of operations, comprehensive income (loss) and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2012. The financial data and the other information disclosed in these notes to the consolidated financial statements related to these nine month periods are unaudited. The results of the nine months ended September 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2012 or for any other future period.
(d) Unaudited Pro Forma Balance Sheet
Upon the consummation of the initial public offering contemplated by the Company, all of the outstanding shares of convertible preferred stock will automatically convert into shares of common stock. The September 30, 2012 unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet data has been prepared assuming the conversion of the convertible preferred stock outstanding into 21,444,251 shares of common stock.
(e) Segments
The Companys chief operating decision maker (CODM), its Chief Executive Officer, reviews financial information for the Company on a consolidated basis. The Company manages its business on the basis of one operating segment. The Companys principal operations and decision-making functions are located in the United States.

(f) Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue when (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) services have been rendered to the customer, (iii) the fee is fixed or determinable and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured. The Companys revenue is derived from transaction fees charged to customers and foreign exchange spreads on transactions where the payout currency is other than U.S. dollars. Revenue is derived from each transaction and may vary based on the size of the transaction, the funding method used, the currency to be ultimately disbursed and the countries to which the funds are transferred. Revenue is recognized when the transaction is processed by the Company and is net of cancellations and refunds.
(g) Cost of Revenue
Cost of revenue includes fees paid to disbursement partners for paying funds to the recipient and fees paid to payment processors for funding transactions. In addition, cost of revenue includes provisions for transaction losses and the costs of certain promotional activities to acquire new customers.
(h) Reserve for Transaction Losses
The Company is exposed to transaction losses due to fraud, as well as nonperformance of third parties and customers. The Company establishes reserves for such losses based on historical trends and any specific risks identified in processing customer transactions. Recoveries are reflected as a reduction in the reserve for transaction losses when the recovery occurs. This reserve is included in accounts payable and accrued expenses on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The following table summarizes the Companys reserve for transaction losses for the following periods (in thousands):

During 2010, the Company revised the percentage with which it was recording its reserve, which resulted in a reduction of $0.9 million in the provision for transaction losses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. This revision was a result of lower than expected transaction losses. This revision was accounted for as a change in estimate.
(i) Marketing
Marketing expense consists of business development costs, television, print, online and promotional advertising, as well as employee compensation and related costs to support the marketing process. The Company expenses advertising costs in the period in which they are incurred. Advertising costs amounted to $6.5 million, $9.4 million and $11.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2010 and 2011, respectively, and $7.7 million and $13.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2012, respectively.
During 2011, the Company introduced a new Refer-A-Friend incentive program where the referrer receives either a cash-type or non-cash award and the referee receives a non-cash award. Cash-type awards are considered
F-9
Xoom Corporation
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
to be cash-type because the referrer could use them as cash. The amount related to the referee is classified as cost of revenue for non-cash awards. Awards provided to the referrer are recorded in marketing expense as these payments are a reward for bringing a new customer to Xoom.
(j) Technology and Development
Technology and development expense includes employee compensation and related costs, professional services and consulting expenses, costs associated with the development of new technologies and the enhancement of existing technologies and amortization of capitalized internally developed software.
(k) Customer Service and Operations
Customer service and operations expense includes costs for outsourced customer call centers, compensation for our employees who support customer service calls, costs incurred for fraud detection, compliance operations and maintenance costs related to our outsourced customer call centers.
(l) Stock-Based Compensation
Stock-based compensation expense is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award, which is the vesting period.
(m) Net Loss Per Share
Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by giving effect to all potential shares of common stock, including stock options, warrants and convertible preferred stock, to the extent dilutive. Due to net losses for all the periods presented, basic and diluted loss per share were the same, as the effect of potentially dilutive securities would have been anti-dilutive.
(n) Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase.
(o) Restricted Cash
The Company has relationships with certain payment processors. These processors are responsible for processing the Companys ACH and credit card payments and are distinct from the Companys disbursement partners discussed in Note 2 (p) below. These processors require the Company to maintain certain restricted cash balances as collateral throughout the term of the processor arrangement. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company integrated a new ACH payment processor and increased the gross sending volume with an existing ACH payment processor which required the Company to restrict an additional $7.0 million of its cash as collateral.
The Company is also required to maintain a restricted cash balance in connection with its license to operate in India. In accordance with the licensing rules in India, this balance is legally restricted and is held at a large financial institution in India. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company was required to restrict an additional $600,000 of its cash as collateral in India.

Xoom Corporation
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(p) Disbursement Prefunding
The Company maintains relationships with disbursement partners in various countries. These partners are responsible for disbursing funds to recipients and are distinct from the payment processors discussed in Note 2(o) above. The Company maintains prefunding balances with these disbursement partners so they are able to satisfy the Companys customer liabilities. The Company does not earn interest on these balances. The balances are not compensating balances and are not legally restricted.
(q) Short-term Investments
Short-term investments consist of certificates of deposit, commercial paper, corporate bonds, U.S. Treasury and Agency Notes and international government bonds with original maturities of 12 months or less. All of the Companys short-term investments other than certificates of deposit are accounted for as marketable securities and are considered to be available-for-sale and are recorded at fair value based on quoted market rates. Unrealized gains and losses are recorded as part of other comprehensive income (loss). Realized gains and losses and declines in value judged to be other-than-temporary on available-for-sale securities and credit losses are recorded in other income (expense) in the consolidated statements of operations when incurred. Gains and losses on sale of securities are determined on the specific-identification method. The Companys certificates of deposit are accounted for as a cash deposit with an original maturity in excess of 90 days and are recorded as a short-term investment.
(r) Customer Funds Receivable
When customers fund their transactions using their bank accounts or credit or debit cards, there is a clearing period before the cash is received from the payment processors by the Company, usually one to two business days. Hence, these funds are treated as a receivable until the cash is received by the Company. The Company does not maintain a reserve for doubtful accounts as historical losses have not been material.
(s) Property, Equipment and Software
Property, equipment and software is stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense is computed over the estimated economic useful life of the assets, between two to five years, using the straight-line method. Leasehold improvements are stated at cost and are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of their estimated useful life or the lease term.
(t) Website and Internal-Use Software Development Costs
The Companys capitalization of website and internal-use software development costs begins in the application development stage and ends when the asset is placed into service. The Company amortizes such costs using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives, which generally approximates two to three years. Amortization of website and internal-use software development costs is included in technology and development in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. These costs are a combination of internal compensation costs of the Companys engineering time and costs of outside consultants and primarily relate to the development of specific enhancements such as the development of the Companys mobile application. The Company capitalized $256,000 in website and internal-use software development costs for the year ended December 31, 2011 and $184,000 and $348,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2012, respectively. Prior to 2011, costs incurred during the application development stage were not significant and were expensed as incurred.
F-11
Xoom Corporation
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(u) Customer Liabilities
The Company recognizes transactions processed from customers but not yet confirmed as disbursed to the recipient by its disbursement partners as customer liabilities on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
(v) Income Taxes
The Company uses the asset and liability method to account for income taxes, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future income tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Companys consolidated financial statements or tax returns. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are established for deferred tax assets when the likelihood of the deferred tax assets not being realized exceeds the more likely than not criterion. The Company also provides reserves as necessary for uncertain tax positions taken on its tax filings. First, the Company determines if a tax position is more likely than not to be sustained upon audit solely based on technical merits, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. Second, based on the largest amount of benefit, which is more likely than not to be realized on ultimate settlement, the Company recognizes any such differences as a liability. The Company includes in income tax expense any interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions. For all periods presented, there are no uncertain tax positions.
(w) Concentration Risk
Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk, consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, disbursement prefunding, customer funds receivable, restricted cash and short-term investments. The Company assets are placed with financial institutions throughout the world, which management assesses to be of high credit quality, in order to limit the exposure of each investment.
A relatively limited number of countries, as determined based on location of the recipient of the funds disbursed, account for a large percentage of the Companys total revenue. For 2009, 2010 and 2011, the Philippines accounted for approximately 60%, 49% and 42% of the Companys revenue, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2012, the Philippines accounted for approximately 43% and 35% of the Companys revenue, respectively. The top three countries, Philippines, Mexico and Colombia, represented approximately 73% and 68% of the Companys revenue for 2009 and 2010, respectively. The top three countries, the Philippines, Mexico and India, represented approximately 71%, 70% and 74% of the Companys revenue for 2011 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2012, respectively.
(x) Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued an amendment to revise fair value measurements and disclosures. This standard provides clarification about the application of existing fair value measurement and disclosure requirements and expands certain other disclosure requirements. The update is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this new standard did not have a material effect on the Companys consolidated financial statements, although additional disclosures have been included.
In June 2011, the FASB amended its guidance on the presentation of comprehensive income. The new accounting guidance requires entities to report the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but
F-12
Xoom Corporation
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
consecutive statements. The standard eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of equity. The update is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011 on a retrospective basis. The Company adopted this standard and has retroactively applied the provisions of this standard for all periods presented. This adoption did not have an impact on the Companys consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
There have been no new accounting pronouncements not yet effective that have significance, or potential significance, to the Companys consolidated financial statements.
(3) Short-term Investments
Marketable securities, classified as available-for-sale, are stated at fair value. There were no other-than-temporary losses during any of the periods presented.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
As of September 30, 2012, the international government bond was AAA-rated and was issued by a financial institution that holds investments in multiple countries in Latin America.
As of December 31, 2010 and 2011 and September 30, 2012, there were no short-term investments with maturity dates greater than one year.
(4) Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is an exit price, the amount that would be received from the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. The authoritative guidance on fair value measurements establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis whereby inputs, used in valuation techniques, are assigned a hierarchical level. The Companys marketable securities are stated at fair value utilizing the same hierarchy.
The following are the three levels of inputs used to measure fair value:
Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities include items where the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.
The book value of the Companys financial instruments not measured at fair value, including certificates of deposit, restricted cash, disbursement prefunding, customer funds receivables, line of credit and customer liabilities approximates fair value due to the relatively short maturity of such instruments. The fair value of such financial instruments are determined using the income approach based on the present value of estimated future cash flows. The fair value of all of these instruments would be categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, with the exception of cash and cash equivalents which would be categorized as Level 1.
The Companys cash equivalents and marketable securities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis are classified as follows (in thousands):

Xoom Corporation
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Financial instruments, which are traded in active markets, using quoted market prices for identical instruments are assigned a Level 1 under the fair value hierarchy. The Company obtains the fair value of its Level 2 financial instruments from a professional pricing service, which may use quoted market prices for identical or comparable instruments, or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable either directly or indirectly. The professional pricing service gathers quoted market prices and observable inputs for the Companys financial instruments from a variety of industry data providers. The valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of Level 2 financial instruments were derived from nonbinding market consensus prices that are corroborated by observable market data, quoted market prices for similar instruments, or pricing models such as discounted cash flow techniques. There were no changes in the valuation techniques during any of the periods presented.
To validate the reasonableness of fair values obtained from a professional pricing service, the Company performs several controls including periodic meetings with the pricing service and the Companys custodians, obtaining the internal control reports of the pricing service and investigating any significant realized or unrealized gains or losses on its short-term investments. The Company believes that these controls coupled with the Companys investment policy and the nature of its short-term investments sufficiently mitigate the Companys valuation risk.
There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 assets during any of the periods presented.

Depreciation and amortization expense of $191,000, $276,000 and $548,000 was recorded for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2010 and 2011, respectively and $347,000 and $992,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2012, respectively.
(6) Line of Credit
On October 8, 2009, the Company entered into a loan and security agreement (the Loan Agreement) with Silicon Valley Bank (SVB), which is also a stockholder of the Company. The Loan Agreement permitted the Company to borrow through October 7, 2010 up to $3.0 million. On October 29, 2010, the Company amended the Loan Agreement to permit the Company to borrow through October 6, 2011 up to $10.0 million. On August 2, 2011, October 27, 2011 and April 30 2012, the Company further amended this Loan Agreement to permit the Company to borrow through April 30, 2014 up to $20.0 million, $40.0 million and $60.0 million, respectively. On September 19, 2012, the Company amended the Loan Agreement to add Chinatrust Bank U.S.A. as a second lender and to permit the Company to borrow through September 2014 up to $80.0 million. The Loan Agreement
F-15
Xoom Corporation
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
bears interest at the greater of prime plus 1.25% or 4.50%. The interest rate at December 31, 2011 and September 30, 2012 was 4.50%. In 2011, the Company paid a commitment fee of $87,000 and is required to pay monthly interest on the greater of the actual borrowings or $10.0 million. The Loan Agreement contains a $1.0 million early termination fee.
As part of the September 2012 amendments, the Company is required to pay monthly interest on the greater of the actual borrowings or $25.0 million. Since the Companys intent is not to repay below the $25.0 million in the next twelve months, the Company has classified the $25.0 million of its line of credit as a non-current liability.
SVB also issued a standby letter of credit which satisfied the additional collateral requirement to maintain a license to operate in India. The standby letter of credit amount reduces the $40.0 million and $80.0 million the Company is permitted to borrow under the Loan Agreement at December 31, 2011 and September 30, 2012, respectively. In July 2012, the Company increased the outstanding standby letter of credit from $5.5 million to $10.0 million.
At December 31, 2011, the Company had $12.0 million available under this facility, reflecting $26.5 million outstanding under the line of credit and $1.5 million reserved under the standby letter of credit. At September 30, 2012, the Company had $29.5 million available under this facility, reflecting $40.5 million outstanding under the line of credit and $10.0 million reserved under the standby letter of credit.
(7) Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes for each of the years ended December 31, 2009, 2010 and 2011 was $2,000.

The Company has deferred tax assets comprised primarily of net operating losses, stock-based compensation, accruals and reserves. The Company has not benefited from any of its deferred tax assets and has established a full valuation allowance. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management believes it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized; accordingly, a full valuation allowance has been established and no deferred tax asset and related tax benefit have been recognized in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
As of December 31, 2011, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards for federal and state income tax purposes of approximately $53.2 million and $50.8 million, respectively. These net operating losses can be utilized to reduce future taxable income, if any. The federal net operating loss carryforwards expire beginning in 2022 through 2032 and the state net operating loss carryforwards begin to expire in 2012 through 2032. Utilization of the net operating loss carryforwards may be subject to substantial annual limitations due to ownership change provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended and similar state provisions. The annual limitations may result in the expiration of net operating loss carryforwards before utilization.
As of December 31, 2011 and September 30, 2012, the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits. No significant interest or penalties were recorded during the years ended December 31, 2009, 2010 and 2011.
Tax years from 2001 and forward remain open to examinations by federal and state authorities due to net operating loss carryforwards. The Company is currently not under examinations by the Internal Revenue Service or any other taxing authorities.

Each share of preferred stock is currently convertible into one common share. Each share of Series A, Series B, Series C, Series C-1, Series D, Series E and Series F preferred stock carries a liquidation preference of $0.80, $1.86, $3.52, $3.52, $3.52, $4.40 and $11.45 per share, respectively.
Dividends on the preferred stock of 8% of the per share liquidation preference are payable when and if declared by the Board of Directors. Dividends are not cumulative. The dividend requirements of the preferred stock must be satisfied prior to the payment of any dividends or distributions with respect to the Companys common stock. Dividend rights for Series F, Series E and Series D (as a group) are senior to Series C-1 and Series C (as a group). Series C-1 and Series C (as a group) are senior to Series B, which is senior to Series A. Holders of preferred stock are entitled to voting rights equivalent to the number of common shares into which their shares are convertible. All preferred shares convert automatically to common shares immediately prior to the closing of a firm commitment underwritten initial public offering of the Companys common stock that results in aggregate net proceeds of at least $20,000,000 or upon the written request from the holders of a majority of the preferred stock then outstanding.
Upon any liquidation event, the holders of Series F, Series E and Series D (as a group) shall be entitled to receive, on a pro-rata basis, any distribution of Company assets prior and in preference to Series C-1 and Series C (as a group), followed by Series B, then Series A, and then common stock.
In the event the assets of the Company are insufficient to permit payment to the holders, the assets available for liquidations will be distributed with equal priority and pro-rata first among the holders of Series F, Series E and Series D (as a group) in proportion to the full amount they would otherwise be entitled to receive, followed by Series C-1 and Series C (as a group), then Series B, then Series A. After the payment or setting aside for payment to the holders of preferred stock of the full amounts, the entire remaining assets of the Company available for distribution shall be distributed pro-rata to holders of the common stock.
None of the series of preferred stock is redeemable.
(b) | Common Stock |
In November 2011, the Company amended and restated its Articles of Incorporation to increase the authorized number of common shares to 135,000,000. Of these shares, 5,027,249 are issued and outstanding as of December 31, 2011.

(c) | Election Rights |
Election of the Board of Directors is divided among the outstanding classes of stock. The holders of Series D, voting as a separate class, are entitled to elect one member of the Board of Directors. The holders of Series C-1 and holders of Series C, voting as a single class, are entitled to elect one member of the Board of Directors. The holders of Series B, voting as a separate class, are entitled to elect one member of the Board of Directors. The holders of Series A and common stockholders, voting together as a single class, are entitled to elect one member of the Board of Directors. The holders of preferred stock and the holders of common stock, voting together as a single class, are entitled to elect one member of the Board of Directors. The common stockholders, voting as a separate class, are entitled to elect two members of the Board of Directors. Any additional members of the Board of Directors are elected by the common stockholders and preferred stockholders, voting together as a single class.
(d) | Stock Option Plan |
Under the 2010 Stock Option Plan, which was an amendment and restatement of the Companys prior option plan (the 2010 Plan), the Company may grant incentive and nonqualified stock options to employees, directors and consultants of the Company at an option price not less than 85% of the fair value of the common stock at the date of grant. The fair value of the common stock is determined by the Board of Directors taking into account any independent third-party valuations performed during the period. Options vest according to the grant document. Options currently outstanding generally vest in equal amounts over periods not to exceed four or five years and have a maximum life of ten years. As of September 30, 2012, the Company was authorized to grant up to 8,137,500 shares underlying equity awards. There were 58,117 shares available for future grant as of September 30, 2012.
The weighted-average grant date fair value of options granted was $0.80, $2.16, $1.76, $1.76 and $3.84 per share for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2010 and 2011 and the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2012, respectively. No stock-based compensation cost was capitalized for any of the periods presented as it was insignificant for all periods presented.

No current income tax benefit has been recognized relating to stock-based compensation expense and no tax benefits realized from exercised stock options.
The Company utilizes the Black-Scholes model for valuing its stock options. This model utilizes several inputs including volatility, expected term, risk free interest rate and dividend yield. Volatility is based on an
F-19
Xoom Corporation
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
average of the historical volatilities of an index fund and industry peers with characteristics similar to those of the Company. The expected term of the options is determined using the simplified method. The Company used the simplified method due to the lack of sufficient historical exercise data to provide a reasonable basis upon which to otherwise estimate the expected life of the stock options. The risk-free interest rate is based on the implied yield of U.S. Treasury zero coupon bonds with a term comparable to the expected option term. Since the Company currently has no history or expectation of paying dividends on its common stock, a dividend yield of zero was used. Expected forfeitures are based on the Companys historical experience.
The following table presents the weighted-average assumptions used to estimate the fair value of the stock options granted in the Companys consolidated financial statements:

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
The aggregate intrinsic value of options exercised was approximately $204,000, $571,000 and $373,000 for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2010 and 2011 and $353,000 and $280,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2012, respectively. The total fair value of shares vested was approximately $199,000, $347,000 and $1,035,000 for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2010 and 2011, and $820,000 and $993,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2012, respectively.

As of September 30, 2012, there was $10.1 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to option grants, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.67 years.
The 2010 Plan permits certain option holders to exercise their options in advance of vesting. In the event that the employee fails to satisfy the required conditions for vesting of the option, as established in the original option award, the Company maintains the right to repurchase any nonvested shares at such time. Such shares are repurchased at a price equal to the exercise price paid. As of December 31, 2011 and September 30, 2012, there were no such shares.
(e) Stock Reserved
As of December 31, 2011, the Company has reserved 21,444,251 common shares for issuance on the conversion of preferred stock and an additional 4,304,750 common shares for issuance on the exercise of warrants or options to purchase common stock and for the options still available for grant. As of September 30, 2012, the Company has reserved 21,444,251 common shares for issuance on the conversion of preferred stock and an additional 6,782,106 common shares for issuance on the exercise of warrants or options to purchase common stock and for the options still available for grant.
(f) Issuance of Common Stock
On August 13, 2009, the Company issued 28,500 shares of common stock under the 2010 Plan at an amount less than the fair value. As such, expense for the difference between the fair value at the date of grant and the purchase amount resulted in a $73,000 expense being recorded as general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations and as common stock and additional paid-in capital on the consolidated balance sheet as of and for the year ended December 31, 2009.
(9) Warrants
During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Company issued warrants to purchase 284,378 shares of the Companys Series C-l preferred stock, in association with the issue of Series C-1 preferred stock. The warrants had an exercise price of $3.52 per share and expired if not exercised by November 17, 2010. During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company issued 283,223 shares of Series C-1 preferred stock upon the exercise of warrants, while the remaining 1,155 warrants expired unexercised.
During the year ended December 31, 2004, the Company issued warrants to purchase 26,946 shares of the Companys common stock. The warrants have an exercise price of $0.20 per share and were scheduled to expire on November 15, 2011. During 2009, in connection with the Loan Agreement, the Company extended the expiration date of 10,778 of these common stock warrants to October 29, 2015. This extension resulted in $26,519 being recorded as prepaid fees to be amortized into expense over the line of credit term of one year. The Company has classified the warrants as equity in the consolidated balance sheet. During 2011, the Company
F-22
Xoom Corporation

issued 15,446 shares of common stock in connection with a cashless exercise of warrants. As of December 31, 2011, there was a warrant to purchase 10,778 shares of common stock outstanding.
In connection with the April amendment and extension of the Loan Agreement with SVB, the Company issued a warrant to purchase 25,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $6.84 per share in April 2012. The warrant has an expiration date of April 30, 2022. This resulted in $219,000 being recorded as prepaid fees to be amortized into expense over the line of credit term of two years. The Company has classified the value of the warrants within equity on the consolidated balance sheet.
As of September 30, 2012, there were warrants to purchase 35,778 shares of common stock outstanding.
(10) Net Loss Per Share
Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is the same as basic loss per share for all periods presented because the effects of potentially dilutive items were anti-dilutive given the Companys net loss.

(11) Employee Benefit Plan
Effective January 1, 2005, the Company implemented a 401(k) Plan for all employees over the age of 21. Participants may contribute up to 100% of their salary (during 2011, up to a maximum of $16,500 or $22,000 for participants over 50 years of age). Company matching is at the discretion of the Board of Directors.
The employee benefit plan also provides a profit sharing component where the Company can make a discretionary contribution to the 401(k) Plan, which is allocated based on the compensation of eligible employees. The 401(k) Plan also provides for qualified non-elective contributions where the Company can make a discretionary contribution in order to pass various nondiscretionary tests for the 401(k) portion of the employee benefit plan. This contribution is allocated to eligible non-highly compensated employee in reverse order based on compensation. No Company contributions were made to the 401(k) Plan in 2009, 2010, 2011 or the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2012.

Rental expense for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2010 and 2011 amounted to $363,000, $442,000 and $524,000, respectively and $380,000 and $553,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2012, respectively.
(b) Litigation
On February 23, 2011, the Company filed a lawsuit in federal court in the Northern District of California against Motorola Mobility, Inc. and other affiliated companies (together, Motorola) alleging trademark infringement and other related claims, stemming from Motorolas use of the name XOOM in connection with its wireless tablet devices and related accessories. Following the filing of the complaint, the Company and Motorola engaged in confidential settlement discussions. On October 28, 2011, the Company formally served Motorola with the complaint. The litigation is pending.
The Company is not a party to any other material pending legal proceedings. The Company is also involved from time to time in various legal proceedings in the normal course of business that individually or in the aggregate would not have a material effect on its results of operations or financial position.
(13) Subsequent Event
On December 7, 2012, the Board approved a 1-for-4 reverse stock split of our preferred stock and common stock to be effective prior to the effectiveness of the registration statement for the Companys initial public offering. Upon the effectiveness of the reverse stock split, every four shares of outstanding preferred stock and common stock will decrease to one share of preferred stock and common stock, respectively, the number of shares of common stock into which each outstanding option and warrant to purchase common stock is exercisable will decrease on a 1-for-4 basis and the exercise price of each outstanding option and warrant to purchase common stock will proportionately increase. All of the share numbers, share prices and exercise prices have been adjusted within the consolidated financial statements, on a retroactive basis, to reflect this 1-for-4 reverse stock split.

Item 14. | Indemnification of Directors and Officers. |
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the DGCL) authorizes a corporation to indemnify its directors and officers against liabilities arising out of actions, suits and proceedings to which they are made or threatened to be made a party by reason of the fact that they have served or are currently serving as a director or officer to a corporation. The indemnity may cover expenses (including attorneys fees) judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the director or officer in connection with any such action, suit or proceeding. Section 145 permits corporations to pay expenses (including attorneys fees) incurred by directors and officers in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding. In addition, Section 145 provides that a corporation has the power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of its directors and officers against any liability asserted against them and incurred by them in their capacity as a director or officer, or arising out of their status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify the director or officer against such liability under Section 145.
We have adopted provisions in our certificate of incorporation and bylaws to be in effect at the completion of this offering that limit or eliminate the personal liability of our directors to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, as it now exists or may in the future be amended. Consequently, a director will not be personally liable to us or our stockholders for monetary damages or breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability for:
| any breach of the directors duty of loyalty to us or our stockholders; |
| any act or omission not in good faith or that involves intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; |
| any unlawful payments related to dividends or unlawful stock purchases, redemptions or other distributions; or |
| any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. |
II-1
These limitations of liability do not alter director liability under the federal securities laws and do not affect the availability of equitable remedies such as an injunction or rescission.
In addition, our bylaws provide that:
| we will indemnify our directors, officers and, in the discretion of our board of directors, certain employees to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, as it now exists or may in the future be amended; and |
| we will advance reasonable expenses, including attorneys fees, to our directors and, in the discretion of our board of directors, to our officers and certain employees, in connection with legal proceedings relating to their service for or on behalf of us, subject to limited exceptions. |
We have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our directors and intend to enter into such agreements with certain of our executive officers. These agreements provide that we will indemnify each of our directors, certain of our executive officers and, at times, their affiliates to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. We will advance expenses, including attorneys fees (but excluding judgments, fines and settlement amounts), to each indemnified director, executive officer or affiliate in connection with any proceeding in which indemnification is available and we will indemnify our directors and officers for any action or proceeding arising out of that persons services as a director or officer brought on behalf of the Company and/or in furtherance of our rights. Additionally, each of our directors may have certain rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and/or insurance provided by their affiliates, which indemnification relates to and might apply to the same proceedings arising out of such directors services as a director referenced herein. Nonetheless, we have agreed in the indemnification agreements that the Companys obligations to those same directors are primary and any obligation of the affiliates of those directors to advance expenses or to provide indemnification for the expenses or liabilities incurred by those directors are secondary.
We also maintain general liability insurance which covers certain liabilities of our directors and officers arising out of claims based on acts or omissions in their capacities as directors or officers, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
The underwriting agreement filed as Exhibit 1.1 to this registration statement provides for indemnification of us and our directors and officers by the underwriters against certain liabilities under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act.
Item 15. | Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities. |
Since January 1, 2010, we made sales of the following unregistered securities:
| We granted to our employees, directors, consultants and other service providers options to purchase an aggregate of 4,807,090 shares of common stock under our 2010 Plan at exercise prices ranging from $4.48 to $14.12 per share. |
| In October and November 2010, we issued 283,223 shares of preferred stock to certain accredited investors upon the exercise of outstanding warrants at an exercise price of $3.52 per share. |
| In August 2011, we issued 15,448 shares of common stock to an accredited investor upon the cashless exercise of an outstanding warrant at an exercise price of $0.20 per share. |
| From January 2010 to November 2011, we sold 3,840,556 shares of our Series F preferred stock at a price of $11.45 per share for an aggregate price of $43,972,049. |
II-2
We believe these transactions were exempt from registration under the Securities Act in reliance upon Section 4(2) of the Securities Act or Regulation D promulgated thereunder, or Rule 701 promulgated under Section 3(b) of the Securities Act as transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering or pursuant to benefit plans and contracts relating to compensation as provided under Rule 701. The recipients of the securities in each of these transactions represented their intentions to acquire the securities for investment only and not with a view to or for sale in connection with any distribution thereof, and appropriate legends were placed upon the stock certificates issued in these transactions. All recipients had adequate access, through their relationships with us, to information about Xoom.
Item 16. | Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules. |
(a) Exhibits
See the Exhibit Index on the page immediately following the signature page for a list of exhibits filed as part of this registration statement on Form S-1, which Exhibit Index is incorporated herein by reference.
(b) Schedules
All schedules are omitted because the required information is either not present, not present in material amounts or is presented within the consolidated financial statements included in the prospectus that is part of this registration statement.
Item 17. | Undertakings. |
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to provide to the underwriter at the closing specified in the underwriting agreements, certificates in such denominations and registered in such names as required by the underwriter to permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act, and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by the controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:
| For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4), or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective. |
| For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. |

(d) Each Underwriter represents and agrees that any Section 5(d) Communications undertaken by it were with entities that are qualified institutional buyers as defined in Rule 144A under the Act or institutions that are accredited investors as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Act; and

9. The obligations of the Underwriters hereunder, as to the Shares to be delivered at each Time of Delivery, shall be subject, in their discretion, to the condition that all representations and warranties and other statements of the Company and the Selling Stockholders herein are, at and as of such Time of Delivery, true and correct, the condition that the Company and the Selling Stockholders shall have performed all of their obligations hereunder theretofore to be performed, and the following additional conditions:

10. (a) The Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such Underwriter may become subject, under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing
24
Prospectus, the Pricing Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or any issuer information filed or required to be filed pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Act, or any Section 5(d) Writing, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse each Underwriter for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Underwriter in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the Company and the Selling Stockholders shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing Prospectus, the Pricing Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or any Section 5(d) Writing, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by any Underwriter through the Representative expressly for use therein.
(b) Each Selling Stockholder, severally and not jointly, will indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such Underwriter may become subject, under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing Disclosure Package the Pricing Prospectus or the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or any Section 5(d) Writing, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing Prospectus, the Pricing Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or any Section 5(d) Writing, in reliance upon and in conformity with its Selling Stockholder Information; and will reimburse each Underwriter for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Underwriter in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that such Selling Stockholder shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing Prospectus or the Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or in
25
each case any amendment or supplement thereto, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by any Underwriter through the Representative expressly for use therein and, provided further, that each of the Selling Stockholders shall not be liable under this Section 10(b) for any amount greater than the product of (i) the number of Shares purchased by the Underwriters from such Selling Stockholder under Section 2 hereof, times (B) the per Share proceeds (net of any underwriting discounts and commissions before expenses) (the Selling Stockholder Proceeds) to the Selling Stockholders as set forth on the cover page of the Prospectus.
(c) Each Underwriter will indemnify and hold harmless the Company and each Selling Stockholder against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Company or any Selling Stockholder may become subject, under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or any Section 5(d) Writing, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing Prospectus or the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or any Section 5(d) Writing, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Underwriter through the Representative expressly for use therein; and will reimburse the Company and each Selling Stockholder for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company or such Selling Stockholder in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim as such expenses are incurred.
(d) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under subsection (a), (b) or (c) above of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under such subsection, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under such subsection. In case any such action shall be brought against any indemnified party and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it shall wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall not, except with the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party), and, after notice from the
26
indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party under such subsection for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses, in each case subsequently incurred by such indemnified party, in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. No indemnifying party shall, without the written consent of the indemnified party, effect the settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened action or claim in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified party is an actual or potential party to such action or claim) unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (i) includes an unconditional release of the indemnified party from all liability arising out of such action or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of any indemnified party.
(e) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 10 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsection (a), (b) or (c) above in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Selling Stockholders on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other from the offering of the Shares. If, however, the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is not permitted by applicable law or if the indemnified party failed to give the notice required under subsection (d) above, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to such amount paid or payable by such indemnified party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company and the Selling Stockholders on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company and the Selling Stockholders on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Company and the Selling Stockholders bear to the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover page of the Prospectus. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or the Selling Stockholders on the one hand or the Underwriters on the other and the parties relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Company and each of the
27
Selling Stockholders and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this subsection (e) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this subsection (e). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above in this subsection (e) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (e), (i) no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Shares underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission, (ii) no Selling Stockholder who does not have any indemnification obligations pursuant to Section 10(b) of this Agreement shall have any obligation to contribute under this Section 10(e), and (iii) no Selling Stockholder shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the Selling Stockholder Proceeds to such Selling Stockholder exceeds the amount of any damages which such Selling Stockholder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Underwriters obligations in this subsection (e) to contribute are several in proportion to their respective underwriting obligations and not joint. The Selling Stockholders obligations in this subsection (e) to contribute are several in proportion to the Selling Stockholder Proceeds received by each Selling Stockholder.
(f) The obligations of the Company and the Selling Stockholders under this Section 10 shall be in addition to any liability which the Company and the respective Selling Stockholders may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of the Act and each broker-dealer affiliate of any Underwriter; and the obligations of the Underwriters under this Section 10 shall be in addition to any liability which the respective Underwriters may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each officer and director of the Company and to each person, if any, who controls the Company or any Selling Stockholder within the meaning of the Act.
11. (a) If any Underwriter shall default in its obligation to purchase the Shares which it has agreed to purchase hereunder at a Time of Delivery, the Representative may in the Representatives discretion arrange for the Representative or another party or other parties to purchase such Shares on the
28
terms contained herein. If within thirty-six hours after such default by any Underwriter, the Representative does not arrange for the purchase of such Shares, then the Company and the Selling Stockholders shall be entitled to a further period of thirty-six hours within which to procure another party or other parties reasonably satisfactory to the Representative to purchase such Shares on such terms. In the event that, within the respective prescribed periods, the Representative notifies the Company and the Selling Stockholders that the Representative has so arranged for the purchase of such Shares, or the Company and the Selling Stockholders notify the Representative that it has so arranged for the purchase of such Shares, the Representative or the Company and the Selling Stockholders shall have the right to postpone such Time of Delivery for a period of not more than seven days, in order to effect whatever changes may thereby be made necessary in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, or in any other documents or arrangements, and the Company agrees to file promptly any amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus which in the Representatives opinion may thereby be made necessary. The term Underwriter as used in this Agreement shall include any person substituted under this Section with like effect as if such person had originally been a party to this Agreement with respect to such Shares.
(b) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Shares of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters by the Representative and the Company and the Selling Stockholders as provided in subsection (a) above, the aggregate number of such Shares which remains unpurchased does not exceed one-eleventh of the aggregate number of all the Shares to be purchased at such Time of Delivery, then the Company and the Selling Stockholders shall have the right to require each non-defaulting Underwriter to purchase the number of Shares which such Underwriter agreed to purchase hereunder at such Time of Delivery and, in addition, to require each non-defaulting Underwriter to purchase its pro rata share (based on the number of Shares which such Underwriter agreed to purchase hereunder) of the Shares of such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters for which such arrangements have not been made; but nothing herein shall relieve a defaulting Underwriter from liability for its default.
(c) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Shares of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters by the Representative and the Company and the Selling Stockholders as provided in subsection (a) above, the aggregate number of such Shares which remains unpurchased exceeds one-eleventh of the aggregate number of all of the Shares to be purchased at such Time of Delivery, or if the Company and the Selling Stockholders shall not exercise the right described in subsection (b) above to require non-defaulting Underwriters to purchase Shares of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters, then this Agreement (or, with respect to a Second Time of Delivery, the obligations of the Underwriters to purchase and of the Company and the Selling Stockholders to sell the Optional Shares) shall thereupon terminate, without liability on the part of
29
any non-defaulting Underwriter or the Company or the Selling Stockholders, except for the expenses to be borne by the Company and the Selling Stockholders and the Underwriters as provided in Section 8 hereof and the indemnity and contribution agreements in Section 10 hereof; but nothing herein shall relieve a defaulting Underwriter from liability for its default.
12. The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the Company, the Selling Stockholders and the several Underwriters, as set forth in this Agreement or made by or on behalf of them, respectively, pursuant to this Agreement, shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation (or any statement as to the results thereof) made by or on behalf of any Underwriter or any controlling person of any Underwriter, or the Company, or any of the Selling Stockholders, or any officer or director or controlling person of the Company, or any controlling person of any Selling Stockholder, and shall survive delivery of and payment for the Shares.
13. If this Agreement shall be terminated pursuant to Section 11 hereof, neither the Company nor the Selling Stockholders shall be under any liability to any Underwriter except as provided in Sections 8 and 10 hereof; but, if for any other reason, any Shares are not delivered by or on behalf of the Company and the Selling Stockholders as provided herein, the Company will reimburse the Underwriters through the Representative for all documented out-of-pocket expenses approved in writing by the Representative, including fees and disbursements of counsel, reasonably incurred by the Underwriters in making preparations for the purchase, sale and delivery of the Shares not so delivered, but the Company and the Selling Stockholders shall then be under no further liability to any Underwriter in respect of the Shares not so delivered except as provided in Sections 8 and 10 hereof.
14. In all dealings hereunder, the Representative shall act on behalf of each of the Underwriters, and the parties hereto shall be entitled to act and rely upon any statement, request, notice or agreement on behalf of any Underwriter made or given by the Representative; and in all dealings with any Selling Stockholder hereunder, you and the Company shall be entitled to act and rely upon any statement, request, notice or agreement on behalf of such Selling Stockholder made or given by any or all of the Attorneys-in-Fact for such Selling Stockholder.
All statements, requests, notices and agreements hereunder shall be in writing, and if to the Underwriters shall be delivered or sent by mail, telex or facsimile transmission to the Representative in care of Barclays Capital Inc., 745 Seventh Avenue, New York, New York 10019, Attention: Syndicate Registration; and if to the Company shall be delivered or sent by mail, telex or facsimile transmission to the address of the Company set forth in the Registration Statement, Attention: Secretary; if to any Selling Stockholder shall be delivered or sent by mail, telex or facsimile transmission to counsel for such Selling
30
Stockholder at its address set forth in Schedule II hereto; provided, however, that any notice to an Underwriter pursuant to Section 10(d) hereof shall be delivered or sent by mail, telex or facsimile transmission to such Underwriter at its address set forth in its Underwriters Questionnaire, or telex constituting such Questionnaire, which address will be supplied to the Company or the Selling Stockholders by the Representative upon request; provided, further, that notices under subsection 6(e) shall be in writing, and if to the Underwriters shall be delivered or sent by mail, telex or facsimile transmission to the Representative at Barclays Capital Inc., 745 Seventh Avenue, New York, New York 10019, Attention: Syndicate Registration. Any such statements, requests, notices or agreements shall take effect upon receipt thereof.
In accordance with the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)), the Underwriters are required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies their respective clients, including the Company and the Selling Stockholders, which information may include the name and address of their respective clients, as well as other information that will allow the Underwriters to properly identify their respective clients.
15. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure solely to the benefit of, the Underwriters, the Company, the Selling Stockholders and, to the extent provided in Sections 10 and 12 hereof, the officers and directors of the Company and each person who controls the Company and the Selling Stockholders or any Underwriter, and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns, and no other person shall acquire or have any right under or by virtue of this Agreement. No purchaser of any of the Shares from any Underwriter shall be deemed a successor or assign by reason merely of such purchase.
16. Time shall be of the essence of this Agreement. As used herein, the term business day shall mean any day when the Commissions office in Washington, D.C. is open for business.
17. The Company and each Selling Stockholder acknowledges and agrees that (i) the purchase and sale of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement is an arms-length commercial transaction between the Company and the Selling Stockholders, on the one hand, and the several Underwriters, on the other, (ii) in connection therewith and with the process leading to such transaction each Underwriter is acting solely as a principal and not the agent or fiduciary of the Company and the Selling Stockholders, (iii) no Underwriter has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Company and the Selling Stockholders with respect to the offering contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether such Underwriter has advised or is currently advising the Company on other matters) or any other obligation to the Company and the Selling Stockholders except the obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement, and (iv) each of the Company and the Selling Stockholders has
31
consulted its own legal and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate. The Company and each of the Selling Stockholders agrees that it will not claim that the Underwriters, or any of them, has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to the Company or the Selling Stockholders, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.
18. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings (whether written or oral) between the Company, the Selling Stockholders and the Underwriters, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof.
19. THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY MATTERS RELATED TO THIS TRANSACTION SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICT OF LAWS THAT WOULD RESULT IN THE APPLICATION OF ANY LAW OTHER THAN THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

In any calendar year and subject to the prior dividend rights of the Series F Preferred Stock, Series E Preferred Stock and Series D Preferred Stock, the holders of outstanding shares of Series C-1 Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive dividends, when and as declared by the Board of Directors, out of any assets at the time legally available therefor, at the Dividend Rate specified for shares of Series C-1 Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock, respectively payable in preference and priority to any declaration or payment of any Distribution on Common Stock of the Corporation in such calendar year.

The right to receive dividends on shares of Preferred Stock shall not be cumulative, and no right to dividends shall accrue to holders of Preferred Stock by reason of the fact that dividends on shares of Preferred Stock are not declared or paid in any calendar year.
(b) Additional Dividends. After the payment or setting aside for payment of the dividends as described in Section 2(a), any additional dividends (other than dividends on Common Stock payable solely in Common Stock) declared or paid in any fiscal year shall be declared or paid among the holders of the Preferred Stock and Common Stock then outstanding in proportion to the greatest whole number of shares of Common Stock which would be held by each such holder if all shares of Preferred Stock were converted at the then-effective Conversion Rate (as defined in Section 4).
(c) Non-Cash Distributions. Whenever a Distribution provided for in this Section 2 shall be payable in property other than cash, the value of the Distribution shall be deemed to be the fair market value of the property as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors.
3. Liquidation Rights.
(a) Liquidation Preference. Upon any Liquidation Event, the holders of the Series F Preferred Stock, the Series E Preferred Stock and the Series D Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, on a pro-rata basis, prior and in preference to any Distribution of any of the assets of the Corporation to the holders of the Common Stock, Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock or Series C-1 Preferred Stock by reason of their ownership of such stock, an amount per share for each share of Series F Preferred Stock, Series E Preferred Stock and Series D Preferred Stock held by them equal to the sum of (i) the Liquidation Preference specified for such share of Series F Preferred Stock, Series E Preferred Stock and Series D Preferred Stock, as appropriate, and (ii) all declared but unpaid dividends (if any) on such share of Series F Preferred Stock, Series E Preferred Stock or Series D Preferred Stock, as appropriate. After payment of the liquidation preference to the holders of the Series F Preferred Stock, the Series E Preferred Stock and the Series D Preferred Stock, the holders of the Series C-1 Preferred Stock and the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, on a pro-rata and pari passu basis, prior and in preference to any Distribution of any of the assets of the Corporation to the holders of the Common Stock, Series A Preferred Stock or Series B Preferred Stock by reason of their ownership of such stock, an amount per share for each share of Series C-1 Preferred Stock or Series C Preferred Stock held by them equal to the sum of (i) the Liquidation Preference specified for such share of Series C-1 Preferred Stock or Series C Preferred Stock, as appropriate and (ii) all declared but unpaid dividends (if any) on such share of Series C-1 Preferred Stock or Series C Preferred Stock, as appropriate. After payment of the liquidation preference to the holders of the Series F Preferred Stock, the Series E Preferred Stock and the Series D Preferred Stock, the Series C-1 Preferred Stock and the Series C Preferred Stock, the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, prior and in preference to any Distribution of any of the assets of the Corporation to the holders of the Common Stock or Series A Preferred Stock by reason of their ownership of such stock, an amount per share for each share of Series B Preferred Stock held by them equal to the sum of (i) the Liquidation Preference specified for such share of Series B Preferred Stock and (ii) all declared but unpaid dividends (if any) on such share of Series B Preferred Stock. After payment of the liquidation preference to the holders of the Series F Preferred Stock, the Series E Preferred Stock, the Series D Preferred Stock, the Series C-1 Preferred Stock, the Series C Preferred Stock and the Series B Preferred Stock, the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, prior and in preference to any Distribution of any of the assets of the Corporation to the holders of the Common Stock by reason of their ownership of Common Stock, an amount per share for each share of Series A Preferred Stock held by them equal to the sum of (i) the Liquidation Preference specified for such share of Series A Preferred Stock and (ii) all declared but unpaid dividends (if any) on such share of Series A Preferred Stock. If, upon the Liquidation Event, the assets of the Corporation legally available for distribution to the holders of the Preferred Stock are insufficient to permit the payment to the holders of the full amounts specified in this Section 3(a), then the entire assets of the Corporation legally available for distribution shall be distributed with equal priority and pro rata first among the holders of the Series F Preferred Stock, the Series E Preferred Stock and the Series D Preferred Stock in proportion to the full amounts they would otherwise be entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 3(a) until such holders have received the full preference amount described above, second, among the holders of Series C-1 Preferred Stock and the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock in proportion to the full amounts they would otherwise be entitled to receive pursuant to this
Section 3(a) until such holders have received the full preference amount described above, third, among the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock in proportion to the full amounts they would otherwise be entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 3(a) until such holders have received the full preference amount described above and, fourth, among the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock in proportion to the full amounts they would otherwise be entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 3(a).
(b) Remaining Assets. After the payment or setting aside for payment to the holders of Preferred Stock of the full amounts specified in Section 3(a), the entire remaining assets of the Corporation legally available for distribution shall be distributed pro rata to holders of the Common Stock of the Corporation in proportion to the number of shares of Common Stock held by them.
(c) Shares not Treated as Both Preferred Stock and Common Stock in any Distribution. Shares of Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to be converted into shares of Common Stock in order to participate in any Distribution, or series of Distributions, as shares of Common Stock, without first forgoing participation in the Distribution, or series of Distributions, as shares of Preferred Stock.
(d) Deemed Conversion. Notwithstanding the above, for purposes of determining the amount each holder of shares of Preferred Stock is entitled to receive with respect to a Liquidation Event, each holder of shares of a series of Preferred Stock shall be deemed to have converted (regardless of whether the holder actually converted) the holders shares of the series into shares of Common Stock immediately prior to the Liquidation Event if, as a result of an actual conversion, the holder would receive, in the aggregate, an amount greater than the amount that would be distributed to the holder if the holder did not convert that series of Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock. If any holder is deemed to have converted shares of Preferred Stock into Common Stock pursuant to this Section 3(d), then the holder shall not be entitled to receive any distribution that would otherwise be made to holders of Preferred Stock that have not converted (or have not been deemed to have converted) into shares of Common Stock.
(e) Reorganization. For purposes of this Section 3, a Liquidation Event shall include (i) an acquisition of the Corporation or any other transaction or series of related transactions (including, without limitation, any stock acquisition, reorganization, merger or consolidation) other than a transaction or series of transactions in which the holders of the voting securities of the Corporation outstanding immediately prior to the transaction retain (either by the voting securities remaining outstanding or by the voting securities being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity), as a result of shares in the Corporation held by the holders prior to the transaction, a majority of the total voting power represented by the voting securities of the Corporation or the surviving entity outstanding immediately after the transaction or series of transactions; (ii) a sale, lease or other conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation (including the exclusive license of all or substantially all of the Corporations intellectual property); or (iii) any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary.
(f) Valuation of Non-Cash Consideration. If any assets of the Corporation distributed to stockholders in connection with any Liquidation Event are other than cash, then the value of the assets shall be their fair market value as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, except that any publicly-traded securities to be distributed to stockholders in a Liquidation Event shall be valued as follows:
(i) If the securities are then traded on a national securities exchange or a national quotation system, then the value of the securities shall be deemed to be to the average of the closing prices of the securities on that exchange or system over the ten (10) trading day period ending five (5) trading days prior to the Distribution;
(ii) if the securities are actively traded over-the-counter, then the value of the securities shall be deemed to be the average of the closing bid prices of the securities over the ten (10) trading day period ending five (5) trading days prior to the Distribution.
In the event of a merger or other acquisition of the Corporation by another entity, the Distribution date shall be deemed to be the date the transaction closes.
For the purposes of this Section 3(f), trading day means any day which the exchange or system on which the securities to be distributed are traded is open and closing prices or closing bid prices shall be deemed to be: (i) for securities traded primarily on the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange or Nasdaq, the last reported trade price or sale price, as the case may be, at 4:00 p.m., New York time, on that day and (ii) for securities listed or traded on other exchanges, markets and systems, the market price as of the end of the regular hours trading period that is generally accepted as such for the exchange, market or system. If, after the date hereof, the benchmark times generally accepted in the securities industry for determining the market price of a stock as of a given trading day change from those set forth above, the fair market value shall be determined as of the other generally accepted benchmark times.
(g) Notice of Liquidation Event. The Corporation shall give each holder of record of Preferred Stock written notice of any impending Liquidation Event not later than twenty (20) days prior to the stockholders meeting called to approve the transaction, or twenty (20) days prior to the closing of the transaction, whichever is earlier, and shall also notify the holders in writing of the final approval of the transaction. The first of these notices shall describe the material terms and conditions of the impending transaction and the provisions of this Section 3, and the Corporation shall thereafter give the holders prompt notice of any material changes. The transaction shall in no event take place sooner than twenty (20) days after the Corporation has given the first notice provided for herein or sooner than ten (10) days after the Corporation has given notice of any material changes provided for herein; provided, however, that, subject to compliance with the General Corporation Law, these periods may be shortened or waived upon the written consent of the holders of Preferred Stock that represent at least a majority of the voting power of all then outstanding shares of Preferred Stock (voting together as a single class and not as a separate series, and on an as-converted to Common Stock basis). All such notices shall be delivered by certified U.S. mail or express courier, postage prepaid, to the address of the holders set forth in the books and records of the Corporation.
4. Conversion. The holders of the Preferred Stock shall have conversion rights as follows (the Conversion Rights):
(a) Right to Convert. Each share of Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time after the date of issuance of the share at the office of the Corporation or any transfer agent for the Preferred Stock, into that number of fully-paid, nonassessable shares of Common Stock determined by dividing the Original Issue Price for the relevant series by the Conversion Price for that series. (The number of shares of Common Stock into which each share of Preferred Stock of a series may be converted is hereinafter referred to as the Conversion Rate for each series.) Upon any decrease or increase in the Conversion Price for any series of Preferred Stock, as described in this Section 4, the Conversion Rate for that series shall be appropriately increased or decreased.
(b) Automatic Conversion. Each share of Preferred Stock shall automatically be converted into fully-paid, non-assessable shares of Common Stock at the then effective Conversion Rate for that share (i) immediately prior to the closing of a firm commitment underwritten initial public offering pursuant to a registration statement filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act), covering the offer and sale of the Corporations Common Stock, provided that the aggregate net proceeds to the Corporation are not less than $20,000,000, or (ii) upon the receipt by the Corporation of a written request for conversion from the holders of a majority of the Preferred Stock then outstanding, or, if later, the effective date for conversion specified in the request (each of the events referred to in (i) and (ii) are referred to herein as an Automatic Conversion Event).
(c) Mechanics of Conversion. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of Preferred Stock. In lieu of any fractional shares to which the holder would otherwise be entitled, the Corporation shall pay cash equal to the fraction multiplied by the then fair market value of a share of Common Stock as determined by the Board of Directors. For this purpose, all shares of Preferred Stock to be so converted held by each holder of Preferred Stock shall be aggregated, and any resulting fractional share of Common Stock shall be paid in cash. Before any holder of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to convert the Preferred Stock into full shares of Common Stock, and to receive certificates therefor, he shall either (A) surrender the certificate or certificates therefor, duly endorsed, at the office of the Corporation or of any transfer agent for the Preferred Stock or (B) notify the Corporation or its transfer agent that the certificates have been lost, stolen or destroyed and execute an agreement satisfactory to the Corporation to indemnify the Corporation and its transfer agent from any loss incurred by them in connection with the certificates, and shall give written notice to the Corporation at its office that he elects to convert the shares represented by the lost, stolen or destroyed certificate; provided, however, that on the date of an Automatic Conversion Event, the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock shall be converted automatically without any further action by the holders of those shares and whether or not the certificates representing those shares are surrendered to the Corporation or its transfer agent; provided further, however, that the Corporation shall not be obligated to issue certificates evidencing the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the Automatic Conversion Event unless either the certificates evidencing the shares of Preferred Stock are delivered to the Corporation or its transfer agent as provided above, or the holder notifies the Corporation or its transfer agent that the certificates have been lost, stolen or destroyed and executes an agreement satisfactory to the Corporation to indemnify the
Corporation and its transfer agent from any loss incurred by them in connection with the certificates. On the date of the occurrence of an Automatic Conversion Event, each holder of record of shares of Preferred Stock shall be deemed to be the holder of record of the Common Stock issuable upon the conversion, notwithstanding that the certificates representing the shares of Preferred Stock were not surrendered at the office of the Corporation, that notice from the Corporation was not received by any holder of record of shares of Preferred Stock, or that the certificates evidencing the shares of Common Stock were not then actually delivered to the holder.
The Corporation shall, as soon as practicable after delivery, or after receipt of an agreement of indemnification, issue and deliver to the holder of Preferred Stock, a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock to which he shall be entitled and a check payable to the holder in the amount of any cash amounts payable as the result of a conversion into fractional shares of Common Stock, plus any declared and unpaid dividends on the converted Preferred Stock. The conversion shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to the close of business on the date of the surrender of the shares of Preferred Stock to be converted, and the person or persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of the shares of Common Stock on that date; provided, however, that if the conversion is in connection with an underwritten offer of securities registered pursuant to the Securities Act or a merger, sale or liquidation of the Corporation, the conversion may, at the option of any holder tendering Preferred Stock for conversion, be conditioned upon the closing of such transaction, in which event the person(s) entitled to receive the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion of the Preferred Stock shall not be deemed to have converted the Preferred Stock until immediately prior to the closing of such transaction.
(d) Adjustments to Conversion Price for Diluting Issues.
(i) Special Definition. For purposes of this Section 4(d), Additional Shares of Common shall mean all shares of Common Stock issued (or, pursuant to Section 4(d)(iii), deemed to be issued) by the Corporation after the filing of this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, other than:
(1) shares of Common Stock and options, warrants or other rights to purchase Common Stock issued to employees, officers or directors of, or consultants, contractors or advisors to, the Corporation or any subsidiary, in each case so long as such issuance (A) is pursuant to a restricted stock purchase agreement, stock option plan or similar arrangement approved by the Board of Directors and (B) is for the primary purpose of soliciting or retaining their services;
(2) shares of Common Stock issued upon the exercise or conversion of Options or Convertible Securities outstanding as of the date of filing of this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation;
(3) shares of Common Stock issued or issuable as a dividend or distribution on Preferred Stock or pursuant to any event for which adjustment is made pursuant to Sections 4(e), 4(f) and 4(g);
(4) shares of Common Stock issued in a registered public offering under the Securities Act pursuant to which all outstanding shares of Preferred Stock are automatically converted into Common Stock pursuant to an Automatic Conversion Event;
(5) shares of Common Stock issued (for consideration other than cash) pursuant to the bona fide acquisition of another corporation, limited liability company, partnership or other business entity by the Corporation by merger, purchase of substantially all of the assets or other reorganization, provided, that such issuances are approved by the Board of Directors;
(6) shares of Common Stock issued or issuable to banks, equipment lessors or other similar financial institutions pursuant to a debt financing or commercial leasing transaction, in each case so long as such issuance (A) is approved by the Board of Directors and (B) is for other than primarily equity financing purposes;
(7) shares of Common Stock issued or issuable in connection with collaboration, joint venture, development or other similar strategic partnerships approved by the Board of Directors; and
(8) shares of Common Stock issued to suppliers or third party service providers as compensation or incentive for the provision of goods or services to the Corporation (other than to employees, directors or individual consultants), in each case so long as such issuance (A) is pursuant to a business transaction approved by the Board of Directors and (B) is for other than primarily equity financing purposes.
(ii) No Adjustment of Conversion Price. No adjustment in the Conversion Price of a particular series of Preferred Stock shall be made in respect of the issuance of Additional Shares of Common unless the consideration per share (as determined pursuant to Section 4(d)(v)) for an Additional Share of Common issued or deemed to be issued by the Corporation is less than the Conversion Price in effect, as of immediately prior to the issuance, for that series of Preferred Stock.
(iii) Deemed Issue of Additional Shares of Common. If the Corporation at any time or from time to time after the date of the filing of this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation issues any Options or Convertible Securities or fixes a record date for the determination of holders of any class of securities entitled to receive any Options or Convertible Securities, then the maximum number of shares (as set forth in the instrument relating thereto without regard to any provisions contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of that number) of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Options or, in the case of Convertible Securities, the conversion or exchange of the Convertible Securities or, in the case of Options for Convertible Securities, the exercise of the Options and the conversion or exchange of the underlying securities, shall be deemed to have been issued as of the time of the issuance or, if a record date has been fixed, as of the close of business on the record date, provided that in any such case in which shares are deemed to be issued:
(1) no further adjustment in the Conversion Price of any series of Preferred Stock shall be made upon the subsequent issuance of Convertible Securities or shares of Common Stock in connection with the exercise of the Options or conversion or exchange of the Convertible Securities;
(2) if the Options or Convertible Securities by their terms provide, with the passage of time or otherwise, for any change in the consideration payable to the Corporation or in the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise, conversion or exchange thereof (other than a change pursuant to the anti-dilution provisions of the Options or Convertible Securities such as this Section 4(d) or pursuant to Recapitalization provisions of the Options or Convertible Securities such as Sections 4(e), 4(f) and 4(g)), the Conversion Price of each series of Preferred Stock and any subsequent adjustments based thereon shall be recomputed to reflect the change as if the change had been in effect as of the original issuance (or upon the occurrence of the record date with respect thereto);
(3) no readjustment pursuant to Section 4(d)(iii)(2) shall have the effect of increasing the Conversion Price of a series of Preferred Stock to an amount above the Conversion Price that would have resulted from any other issuances of Additional Shares of Common and any other adjustments provided for herein between the original adjustment date and the readjustment date;
(4) upon the expiration of any Options or any rights of conversion or exchange under Convertible Securities which have not been exercised, the Conversion Price of each series of Preferred Stock computed upon the original issue thereof (or upon the occurrence of a record date with respect thereto) and any subsequent adjustments based thereon shall, upon the expiration, be recomputed as if:
a. in the case of Convertible Securities or Options for Common Stock, the only Additional Shares of Common issued were the shares of Common Stock, if any, actually issued upon the exercise of the Options or the conversion or exchange of the Convertible Securities and the consideration received therefor was the consideration actually received by the Corporation for the issue of such exercised Options plus the consideration actually received by the Corporation upon the exercise or for the issuance of all Convertible Securities which were actually converted or exchanged, plus the additional consideration, if any, actually received by the Corporation upon the conversion or exchange, and
b. in the case of Options for Convertible Securities, only the Convertible Securities, if any, actually issued upon the exercise thereof were issued at the time of issue of the Options, and the consideration received by the Corporation for the Additional Shares of Common deemed to have been then issued was the consideration actually received by the Corporation for the issue of the exercised Options, plus the consideration deemed to have been received by the Corporation (determined pursuant to Section 4(d)(v)) upon the issue of the Convertible Securities with respect to which such Options were actually exercised; and
c. if the record date has been fixed and the Options or Convertible Securities are not issued on the date fixed therefor, the adjustment previously made in the Conversion Price which became effective on the record date shall be cancelled as of the close of business on the record date, and thereafter the Conversion Price shall be adjusted pursuant to this Section 4(d)(iii) as of the actual date of their issuance.
(iv) Adjustment of Conversion Price Upon Issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock. If the Corporation issues Additional Shares of Common (including Additional Shares of Common deemed to be issued pursuant to Section 4(d)(iii)) without consideration or for a consideration per share less than the applicable Conversion Price of a series of Preferred Stock in effect on the date of and immediately prior to the issuance, then, the Conversion Price of the affected series of Preferred Stock shall be reduced, concurrently with the issuance, to a price (calculated to the nearest cent) determined by multiplying the Conversion Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the issuance (which figure shall include the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of any outstanding shares of Preferred Stock) plus the number of shares which the aggregate consideration received by the Corporation for the total number of Additional Shares of Common so issued would purchase at the Conversion Price, and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the issuance (which figure shall include the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of any outstanding shares of Preferred Stock) plus the number of Additional Shares of Common so issued. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Conversion Price shall not be reduced at that time if the amount of the reduction would be less than $0.01, but any such amount shall be carried forward, and a reduction will be made with respect to that amount at the time of, and together with, any subsequent reduction which, together with that amount and any other amounts so carried forward, equal $0.01 or more in the aggregate. For the purposes of this Section 4(d)(iv), all shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of all outstanding shares of Preferred Stock and the exercise and/or conversion of any other outstanding Convertible Securities and all outstanding Options shall be deemed to be outstanding.
(v) Determination of Consideration. For purposes of this Section 4(d), the consideration received by the Corporation for the issuance (or deemed issuance) of any Additional Shares of Common shall be computed as follows:
(1) The consideration shall:
a. insofar as it consists of cash, be computed at the aggregate amount of cash received by the Corporation before deducting any discounts, commissions or other expenses allowed, paid or incurred by the Corporation for any underwriting or otherwise in connection with the issuance;
b. insofar as it consists of property other than cash, be computed at the fair market value thereof at the time of the issuance, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors irrespective of any accounting treatment; and
c. if Additional Shares of Common are issued together with other shares or securities or other assets of the Corporation for consideration which covers both, be the proportion of the consideration so received, computed as provided in Section 4(d)(v)(1)(a)-(b), as reasonably and determined in good faith by the Board of Directors.
(2) The consideration per share received by the Corporation for Additional Shares of Common deemed to have been issued pursuant to Section 4(d)(iii) shall be determined by dividing
(x) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Corporation as consideration for the issuance of the Options or Convertible Securities, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration (as set forth in the instruments relating thereto, without regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of the consideration) payable to the Corporation upon the exercise of the Options or the conversion or exchange of the Convertible Securities, or in the case of Options for Convertible Securities, the exercise of the Options for Convertible Securities and the conversion or exchange of the Convertible Securities by
(y) the maximum number of shares of Common Stock (as set forth in the instruments relating thereto, without regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of that number) issuable upon the exercise of the Options or the conversion or exchange of the Convertible Securities.
(e) Adjustments for Subdivisions or Combinations of Common Stock. If the outstanding shares of Common Stock are subdivided (by stock split, by payment of a stock dividend or otherwise), into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price of each series of Preferred Stock in effect immediately prior to the subdivision shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of the subdivision, be proportionately decreased. If the outstanding shares of Common Stock are combined (by reclassification or otherwise) into a lesser number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Prices in effect immediately prior to the combination shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of the combination, be proportionately increased.
(f) Adjustments for Subdivisions or Combinations of Preferred Stock. If the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock or a series of Preferred Stock are subdivided (by stock split, by payment of a stock dividend or otherwise) into a greater number of shares of Preferred Stock, then the Original Issue Price and Liquidation Preference of the affected series of Preferred Stock in effect immediately prior to the subdivision shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of the subdivision, be proportionately decreased. If the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock or a series of Preferred Stock are combined (by reclassification or otherwise) into a lesser number of shares of Preferred Stock, then the Original Issue Price and Liquidation Preference of the affected series of Preferred Stock in effect immediately prior to the combination shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of the combination, be proportionately increased.
(g) Adjustments for Reclassification, Exchange and Substitution. Subject to Section 3 (Liquidation Rights), if the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock is changed into the same or a different number of shares of any other class or classes of stock, whether by capital reorganization, reclassification or otherwise (other than a
subdivision or combination of shares provided for above), then, in any such event, in lieu of the number of shares of Common Stock which the holders would otherwise have been entitled to receive, each holder of the Preferred Stock shall have the right thereafter to convert the shares of Preferred Stock into a number of shares of the other class or classes of stock which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon conversion of the series of Preferred Stock immediately before that change would have been entitled to receive in the reorganization or reclassification, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein with respect to the other shares.
(h) Notice of Record Date. If the Corporation (i) takes a record of the holders of any class of securities for the purpose of determining the holders who are entitled to receive any dividend (other than a cash dividend) or other distribution or (ii) Recapitalizes the Common Stock, the Corporation shall mail to each holder of Preferred Stock, at least ten (10) days prior to the date specified therein, a notice specifying the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of the dividend or distribution or for determining rights to vote in respect of the matters referred to in clause (ii), and the amount and character of the dividend or distribution. No event description in clause (i) or (ii) shall take place sooner than ten (10) days after the Corporation has given the first notice provided for herein (or sooner than ten (10) days after the Corporation has given notice of any material changes in the terms of the transaction); provided, however, that, subject to compliance with applicable law, these periods may be shortened or waived upon the written consent of the holders of Preferred Stock that represent at least a majority of the voting power of all then outstanding shares of Preferred Stock. All such notices shall be delivered by certified U.S. mail or express courier, postage prepaid, to the address of the holders set forth in the books and records of the Corporation.
(i) Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Price pursuant to this Section 4, the Corporation at its expense shall promptly compute the adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and furnish to each holder of Preferred Stock a certificate setting forth the adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which the adjustment or readjustment is based. The Corporation shall, upon the written request at any time of any holder of Preferred Stock, furnish or cause to be furnished to the holder a like certificate setting forth (i) the adjustments and readjustments, (ii) the Conversion Price at the time in effect and (iii) the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other property which at the time would be received upon the conversion of Preferred Stock.
(j) Waiver of Adjustment of Conversion Price. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any downward adjustment of the Conversion Price of any series of Preferred Stock may be waived by the consent or vote of the holders of the majority of the outstanding shares of the series. Any such waiver shall bind all future holders of shares of that series of Preferred Stock.
(k) Reservation of Stock Issuable Upon Conversion. The Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the shares of the Preferred Stock, such number of its shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all then outstanding shares of the Preferred Stock; and if at
any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock is not sufficient to effect the conversion of all then outstanding shares of the Preferred Stock, the Corporation will take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as is sufficient for that purpose.
5. Voting Rights.
(a) Restricted Class Voting. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein or as required by law, the holders of Preferred Stock and the holders of Common Stock shall vote together and not as separate classes.
(b) Series Voting.
(i) Except as set forth in Sections 5(b)(ii) and (iii) of this Article IV, and other than as otherwise provided herein or required by law, there shall be no series voting.
(ii) As long as any shares of Series F Preferred Stock are issued and outstanding, the Corporation shall not whether by merger, reclassification or otherwise without first obtaining the approval (by vote or written consent as provided by law) of the holders of more than 60% of the outstanding shares of Series F Preferred (A) increase or decrease (other than for decreases resulting from conversion of the Series F Preferred Stock) the authorized number of shares of Series F Preferred Stock or (B) alter, amend or waive any provision of the Corporations Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws if such alteration, amendment or waiver would adversely affect any of the rights, preferences or privileges of the holders of shares of Series F Preferred Stock.
(iii) As long as any shares of Series E Preferred Stock are issued and outstanding, the Corporation shall not whether by merger, reclassification or otherwise without first obtaining the approval (by vote or written consent as provided by law) of the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding shares of Series E Preferred (A) increase or decrease (other than for decreases resulting from conversion of the Series E Preferred Stock) the authorized number of shares of Series E Preferred Stock or (B) alter, amend or waive any provision of the Corporations Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws if such alteration, amendment or waiver would adversely affect any of the rights, preferences or privileges of the holders of shares of Series E Preferred Stock.
(c) Preferred Stock. Each holder of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to the number of votes equal to the number of shares of Common Stock into which the shares of Preferred Stock held by the holder could be converted as of the record date. The holders of shares of the Preferred Stock shall be entitled to vote on all matters on which the Common Stock are entitled to vote. Holders of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to notice of any stockholders meeting in accordance with the bylaws of the Corporation. Fractional votes shall not, however, be permitted and any fractional voting rights resulting from the above formula (after aggregating all shares into which shares of Preferred Stock held by each holder could be converted), shall be disregarded.
(d) Election of Directors. The holders of the Series D Preferred Stock, voting as a separate class, shall be entitled to elect one (1) member of the Corporations Board of Directors at each meeting or pursuant to each consent of the Corporations stockholders for the election of directors (the Series D Director). The holders of the Series C-1 Preferred Stock and the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class, shall be entitled to elect one (1) member of the Corporations Board of Directors at each meeting or pursuant to each consent of the Corporations stockholders for the election of directors (the Series C Director). The holders of the Series B Preferred Stock, voting as a separate class, shall be entitled to elect one (1) member of the Corporations Board of Directors at each meeting or pursuant to each consent of the Corporations stockholders for the election of directors (the Series B Director, together with the Series D Director and Series C Director, each a Preferred Director and together the Preferred Directors ). The holders of the Common Stock and the Series A Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class, shall be entitled to elect one (1) member of the Corporations Board of Directors at each meeting or pursuant to each consent of the Corporations stockholders for the election of directors. The holders of the Common Stock and the Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class, shall be entitled to elect one (1) member of the Corporations Board of Directors at each meeting or pursuant to each consent of the Corporations stockholders for the election of directors. The holders of the Common Stock, voting as a separate class, shall be entitled to elect two (2) members of the Corporations Board of Directors at each meeting or pursuant to each consent of the Corporations stockholders for the election of directors. Any additional members of the Corporations Board of Directors shall be elected by the holders of the Common Stock and the Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class. If a vacancy on the Board of Directors is for a director elected by a class or classes of stockholders pursuant to this Section 5(d), then the holders of a majority of the total number of shares then outstanding of that class or classes may elect a successor to fill that vacancy; provided, however, that filling a vacancy by written consent of the stockholders shall require the unanimous written consent of the holders of the shares then outstanding of that class or classes entitled to elect such director, if such vacancy was created by the removal of a director.
(e) Common Stock. Each holder of shares of Common Stock shall be entitled to one vote for each share thereof held.
Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 223(a)(1) and 223(a)(2) of the General Corporation Law, any vacancy, including newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the authorized number of directors or amendment of this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, and vacancies created by removal or resignation of a director, may be filled by a majority of the directors then in office, though less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director, and the directors so chosen shall hold office until the next annual election and until their successors are duly elected and shall qualify, unless sooner displaced; provided, however, that where such vacancy occurs among the directors elected by the holders of a class or series of stock, the holders of shares of such class or series may override the Board of Directors action to fill such vacancy by (i) voting for their own designee to fill such vacancy at a meeting of the Corporations stockholders or (ii) written consent, if the consenting stockholders hold a sufficient number of shares to elect their designee at a meeting of the stockholders. Any director may be removed during his or her term of office, either with or without cause, by, and only by, the affirmative vote of the holders of the shares of the class or series of stock entitled to elect
such director or directors, given either at a special meeting of such stockholders duly called for that purpose or pursuant to a written consent of stockholders, and any vacancy thereby created may be filled by the holders of that class or series of stock represented at the meeting or pursuant to written consent.
6. Amendments and Changes.
Subject to the series voting provisions set forth in Section 5(b), as long as any of the Preferred Stock is issued and outstanding, the Corporation shall not, whether by merger, reclassification or otherwise without first obtaining the approval (by vote or written consent as provided by law) of the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding shares of the Preferred Stock:
(a) amend, alter or change the rights, preferences, privileges or powers of, or restrictions provided for the benefit of the Preferred Stock or any series thereof;

CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION OF
XOOM CORPORATION
The undersigned, John Kunze, hereby certifies that:

5. A paragraph is added to Article IV prior to Section A of the Restated Certificate to read as follows:
At the initial date and time of the effectiveness of this Certificate of Amendment (the Reverse Split Effective Time), the following recapitalization (the Reverse Stock Split) shall occur: (i) each four shares of Common Stock of the Corporation issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Reverse Split Effective Time shall be exchanged and combined into one share of Common Stock; (ii) each four shares of Series A Preferred Stock of the Corporation issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Reverse Split Effective Time shall be exchanged and combined into one share of Series A Preferred Stock; (iii) each four shares of Series B Preferred Stock of the Corporation issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Reverse Split Effective Time shall be exchanged and combined into one share of Series B Preferred Stock; (iv) each four shares of Series C Preferred Stock of the Corporation issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Reverse Split Effective Time shall be exchanged and combined into one share of Series C Preferred Stock; (v) each four shares of Series C-1 Preferred Stock of the Corporation issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Reverse Split Effective Time shall be exchanged and combined into one share of Series C-1 Preferred Stock; (vi) each four shares of Series D Preferred Stock of the Corporation issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Reverse Split Effective Time shall be exchanged and combined into one share of Series D Preferred Stock; (vii) each four shares of Series

(a) the holders of the Common Stock shall have the exclusive right to vote for the election of directors of the Corporation (the Directors) and on all other matters requiring stockholder action, each outstanding share entitling the holder thereof to one vote on each matter properly submitted to the stockholders of the Corporation for their vote; provided, however, that, except as otherwise required by law, holders of Common Stock, as such, shall not be entitled to vote on any amendment to this Certificate (or on any amendment to a certificate of designations of any series of Undesignated Preferred Stock) that alters or changes the powers, preferences, rights or other terms of one or more outstanding series of Undesignated Preferred Stock if the holders of such affected series of Undesignated Preferred Stock are entitled to vote, either separately or together with the holders of one or more other such series, on such amendment pursuant to this Certificate (or pursuant to a certificate of designations of any series of Undesignated Preferred Stock) or pursuant to the DGCL;

ARTICLE V
STOCKHOLDER ACTION
1. Action without Meeting. Any action required or permitted to be taken by the stockholders of the Corporation at any annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Corporation must be effected at a duly called annual or special meeting of stockholders and may not be taken or effected by a written consent of stockholders in lieu thereof.
2. Special Meetings. Except as otherwise required by statute and subject to the rights, if any, of the holders of any series of Undesignated Preferred Stock, special meetings of the stockholders of the Corporation may be called only by the Board of Directors acting pursuant to a resolution approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of the Directors then in office, and special meetings of stockholders may not be called by any other person or persons. Only those matters set forth in the notice of the special meeting may be considered or acted upon at a special meeting of stockholders of the Corporation.
ARTICLE VI
DIRECTORS
1. General. The business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by or under the direction of the Board of Directors except as otherwise provided herein or required by law.
2. Election of Directors. Election of Directors need not be by written ballot unless the By-laws of the Corporation (the By-laws) shall so provide.
3. Number of Directors; Term of Office. The number of Directors of the Corporation shall be fixed solely and exclusively by resolution duly adopted from time to time by the Board of Directors. The Directors, other than those who may be elected by the holders of any series of Undesignated Preferred Stock, shall be classified, with respect to the term for which
4
they severally hold office, into three classes. The initial Class I Directors shall serve for a term expiring at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2013, the initial Class II Directors shall serve for a term expiring at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2014, and the initial Class III Directors shall serve for a term expiring at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2015. At each annual meeting of stockholders, Directors elected to succeed those Directors whose terms expire shall be elected for a term of office to expire at the third succeeding annual meeting of stockholders after their election. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Directors elected to each class shall hold office until their successors are duly elected and qualified or until their earlier resignation, death or removal.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, whenever, pursuant to the provisions of Article IV of this Certificate, the holders of any one or more series of Undesignated Preferred Stock shall have the right, voting separately as a series or together with holders of other such series, to elect Directors at an annual or special meeting of stockholders, the election, term of office, filling of vacancies and other features of such directorships shall be governed by the terms of this Certificate and any certificate of designations applicable to such series.
4. Vacancies. Subject to the rights, if any, of the holders of any series of Undesignated Preferred Stock to elect Directors and to fill vacancies in the Board of Directors relating thereto, any and all vacancies in the Board of Directors, however occurring, including, without limitation, by reason of an increase in the size of the Board of Directors, or the death, resignation, disqualification or removal of a Director, shall be filled solely and exclusively by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining Directors then in office, even if less than a quorum of the Board of Directors, and not by the stockholders. Any Director appointed in accordance with the preceding sentence shall hold office for the remainder of the full term of the class of Directors in which the new directorship was created or the vacancy occurred and until such Directors successor shall have been duly elected and qualified or until his or her earlier resignation, death or removal. Subject to the rights, if any, of the holders of any series of Undesignated Preferred Stock to elect Directors, when the number of Directors is increased or decreased, the Board of Directors shall, subject to Article VI.3 hereof, determine the class or classes to which the increased or decreased number of Directors shall be apportioned; provided, however, that no decrease in the number of Directors shall shorten the term of any incumbent Director. In the event of a vacancy in the Board of Directors, the remaining Directors, except as otherwise provided by law, shall exercise the powers of the full Board of Directors until the vacancy is filled.
5. Removal. Subject to the rights, if any, of any series of Undesignated Preferred Stock to elect Directors and to remove any Director whom the holders of any such series have the right to elect, any Director (including persons elected by Directors to fill vacancies in the Board of Directors) may be removed from office (i) only with cause and (ii) only by the affirmative vote of the holders of 66 2/3% or more of the outstanding shares of capital stock then entitled to vote at an election of Directors. At least forty-five (45) days prior to any annual or special meeting of stockholders at which it is proposed that any Director be removed from office, written notice of such proposed removal and the alleged grounds thereof shall be sent to the Director whose removal will be considered at the meeting.
5
ARTICLE VII
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
A Director of the Corporation shall not be personally liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a Director, except for liability (a) for any breach of the Directors duty of loyalty to the Corporation or its stockholders, (b) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (c) under Section 174 of the DGCL or (d) for any transaction from which the Director derived an improper personal benefit. If the DGCL is amended after the effective date of this Certificate to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of Directors, then the liability of a Director of the Corporation shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, as so amended.
Any amendment, repeal or modification of this Article VII by either of (i) the stockholders of the Corporation or (ii) an amendment to the DGCL, shall not adversely affect any right or protection existing at the time of such amendment, repeal or modification with respect to any acts or omissions occurring before such amendment, repeal or modification of a person serving as a Director at the time of such amendment, repeal or modification.
ARTICLE VIII
EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF DELAWARE COURTS
Unless the Corporation consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware shall be the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Corporation, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer or other employee of the Corporation to the Corporation or the Corporations stockholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the Delaware General Corporation Law or the Corporations Certificate of Incorporation or By-laws, or (iv) any action asserting a claim against the Corporation governed by the internal affairs doctrine. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of capital stock of the Corporation shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to the provisions of this Article VIII.
ARTICLE IX
AMENDMENT OF BY-LAWS
1. Amendment by Directors. Except as otherwise provided by law, the By-laws of the Corporation may be amended or repealed by the Board of Directors by the affirmative vote of a majority of the Directors then in office.
2. Amendment by Stockholders. The By-laws of the Corporation may be amended or repealed at any annual meeting of stockholders, or special meeting of stockholders called for such purpose, by the affirmative vote of at least 66 2/3% of the outstanding shares of capital stock entitled to vote on such amendment or repeal, voting together as a single class; provided, however, that if the Board of Directors recommends that stockholders approve such amendment
6
or repeal at such meeting of stockholders, such amendment or repeal shall only require the affirmative vote of the majority of the outstanding shares of capital stock entitled to vote on such amendment or repeal, voting together as a single class.
ARTICLE X
AMENDMENT OF CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION
The Corporation reserves the right to amend or repeal this Certificate in the manner now or hereafter prescribed by statute and this Certificate, and all rights conferred upon stockholders herein are granted subject to this reservation. Whenever any vote of the holders of capital stock of the Corporation is required to amend or repeal any provision of this Certificate, and in addition to any other vote of holders of capital stock that is required by this Certificate or by law, such amendment or repeal shall require the affirmative vote of the majority of the outstanding shares of capital stock entitled to vote on such amendment or repeal, and the affirmative vote of the majority of the outstanding shares of each class entitled to vote thereon as a class, at a duly constituted meeting of stockholders called expressly for such purpose; provided, however, that the affirmative vote of not less than 66 2/3% of the outstanding shares of capital stock entitled to vote on such amendment or repeal, and the affirmative vote of not less than 66 2/3% of the outstanding shares of each class entitled to vote thereon as a class, shall be required to amend or repeal any provision of Article V, Article VI, Article VII, Article VIII, Article IX or Article X of this Certificate.

Meetings of stockholders for any other purpose may be held at such time and place, if any, within or without the State of Delaware, as shall be stated in the notice of the meeting or in a duly executed waiver of notice thereof, or a waiver by electronic transmission by the person entitled to notice.
2.2 Timing.

2.3 Notice of Meeting. Written notice of any stockholder meeting stating the place, if any, date and hour of the meeting, the means of remote communication, if any, by which stockholders and proxyholders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such meeting, shall be given to each stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting not fewer than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting.
2.4 Stockholders Records. The officer who has charge of the stock ledger of the corporation shall prepare and make, at least ten (10) days before every meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, arranged in alphabetical order, and showing the address (but not the electronic address or other electronic contact information) of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each
stockholder. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting for a period of at least 10 days prior to the meeting: (i) on a reasonably accessible electronic network, provided that the information required to gain access to such list is provided with the notice of the meeting, or (ii) during ordinary business hours, at the principal place of business of the corporation. In the event that the corporation determines to make the list available on an electronic network, the corporation may take reasonable steps to ensure that such information is available only to stockholders of the corporation. If the meeting is to be held at a place, then the list shall be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof, and may be inspected by any stockholder who is present. If the meeting is to be held solely by means of remote communication, then the list shall also be open to the examination of any stockholder during the whole time of the meeting on a reasonably accessible electronic network, and the information required to access such list shall be provided with the notice of the meeting.

Such request shall state the purpose or purposes of the proposed meeting.
2.6 Notice of Meeting. Written notice of a special meeting stating the place, date and hour of the meeting and the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called, shall be given not fewer than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting, to each stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting. The means of remote communication, if any, by which stockholders and proxyholders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such meeting shall also be provided in the notice.
2.7 Business Transacted at Special Meeting. Business transacted at any special meeting of stockholders shall be limited to the purposes stated in the notice.
2.8 Quorum; Meeting Adjournment; Presence by Remote Means.
(a) Quorum; Meeting Adjournment. The holders of a majority of the stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote thereat, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at all meetings of the stockholders for the transaction of business except as otherwise provided by statute or by the certificate of incorporation. If, however, such quorum shall not be present or represented at any meeting of the stockholders, the stockholders entitled to vote thereat, present in person or represented by proxy, shall have power to adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum shall be present or represented. At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present or represented, any business may be transacted that might have been transacted at the meeting as originally notified. If the adjournment is for more than thirty (30) days, or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting.
2
(b) Presence by Remote Means. If authorized by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion, and subject to such guidelines and procedures as the Board of Directors may adopt, stockholders and proxyholders not physically present at a meeting of stockholders may, by means of remote communication:
(1) participate in a meeting of stockholders; and
(2) be deemed present in person and vote at a meeting of stockholders whether such meeting is to be held at a designated place or solely by means of remote communication, provided that (i) the corporation shall implement reasonable measures to verify that each person deemed present and permitted to vote at the meeting by means of remote communication is a stockholder or proxyholder, (ii) the corporation shall implement reasonable measures to provide such stockholders and proxyholders a reasonable opportunity to participate in the meeting and to vote on matters submitted to the stockholders, including an opportunity to read or hear the proceedings of the meeting substantially concurrently with such proceedings, and (iii) if any stockholder or proxyholder votes or takes other action at the meeting by means of remote communication, a record of such vote or other action shall be maintained by the corporation.
2.9 Voting Thresholds. When a quorum is present at any meeting, the vote of the holders of a majority of the stock having voting power present in person or represented by proxy shall decide any question brought before such meeting, unless the question is one upon which by express provision of the statutes or of the certificate of incorporation, a different vote is required, in which case such express provision shall govern and control the decision of such question.
2.10 Number of Votes Per Share. Unless otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation, each stockholder shall at every meeting of the stockholders be entitled to one vote by such stockholder or by proxy for each share of the capital stock having voting power held by such stockholder, but no proxy shall be voted on after three years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period.
2.11 Action by Written Consent of Stockholders; Electronic Consent; Notice of Action.
(a) Action by Written Consent of Stockholders. Unless otherwise provided by the certificate of incorporation, any action required or permitted to be taken at any annual or special meeting of the stockholders may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent in writing setting forth the action so taken, is signed in a manner permitted by law by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted. Written stockholder consents shall bear the date of signature of each stockholder who signs the consent in the manner permitted by law and shall be delivered to the corporation as provided in subsection (b) below. No written consent shall be effective to take the action set forth therein unless, within sixty (60) days of the earliest dated consent delivered to the corporation in the manner provided above, written consents signed by a sufficient number of stockholders to take the action set forth therein are delivered to the corporation in the manner provided above.
3
(b) Electronic Consent. A cablegram or other electronic transmission consenting to an action to be taken and transmitted by a stockholder or proxyholder, or a person or persons authorized to act for a stockholder or proxyholder, shall be deemed to be written, signed and dated for the purposes of this section, provided that any such cablegram or other electronic transmission sets forth or is delivered with information from which the corporation can determine (1) that the cablegram or other electronic transmission was transmitted by the stockholder or proxyholder or by a person or persons authorized to act for the stockholder or proxyholder and (2) the date on which such stockholder or proxyholder or authorized person or persons transmitted such cablegram or electronic transmission. The date on which such cablegram or electronic transmission is transmitted shall be deemed to be the date on which such consent was signed. No consent given by cablegram or other electronic transmission shall be deemed to have been delivered until such consent is reproduced in paper form and until such paper form is delivered to the corporation by delivery to its registered office in the State of Delaware, its principal place of business or an officer or agent of the corporation having custody of the book in which proceedings of meetings of stockholders are recorded. Delivery made to a corporations registered office shall be made by hand or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested. Notwithstanding the foregoing limitations on delivery, consents given by cablegram or other electronic transmission may be otherwise delivered to the principal place of business of the corporation or to an officer or agent of the corporation having custody of the book in which proceedings of meetings of stockholders are recorded if, to the extent and in the manner provided by resolution of the Board of Directors of the corporation.
(c) Notice of Action. Prompt notice of any action taken pursuant to this Section 2.11 shall be provided to the stockholders in accordance with Section 228(e) of the DGCL.
ARTICLE III
DIRECTORS
3.1 Authorized Directors. The number of directors that shall constitute the whole Board of Directors shall be determined by resolution of the Board of Directors or by the stockholders at the annual meeting of the stockholders, except as provided in Section 3.2 of this Article, and each director elected shall hold office until his successor is elected and qualified. Directors need not be stockholders.
3.2 Vacancies. Unless otherwise provided in the corporations certificate of incorporation, as it may be amended, vacancies and newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the authorized number of directors may be filled by a majority of the directors then in office, though less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director, and the directors so chosen shall hold office until the next annual election and until their successors are duly elected and shall qualify, unless sooner displaced. If there are no directors in office, then an election of directors may be held in the manner provided by statute. If, at the time of filling any vacancy or any newly created directorship, the directors then in office shall constitute less than a majority of the whole Board of Directors (as constituted immediately prior to any such increase), the Court
4
of Chancery may, upon application of any stockholder or stockholders holding at least ten percent (10%) of the total number of the shares at the time outstanding having the right to vote for such directors, summarily order an election to be held to fill any such vacancies or newly created directorships, or to replace the directors chosen by the directors then in office.
3.3 Board Authority. The business of the corporation shall be managed by or under the direction of its Board of Directors, which may exercise all such powers of the corporation and do all such lawful acts and things as are not by statute or by the certificate of incorporation or by these bylaws directed or required to be exercised or done by the stockholders.
3.4 Location of Meetings. The Board of Directors of the corporation may hold meetings, both regular and special, either within or without the State of Delaware.
3.5 First Meeting.

(b) General.
(1) Only such persons who are nominated in accordance with the provisions of this By-law or in accordance with Rule 14a-11 under the Exchange Act shall be eligible for election and to serve as directors and only such business shall be conducted at an Annual Meeting as shall have been brought before the meeting in accordance with the provisions of this By-law or in accordance with Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act. The Board of Directors or a designated committee thereof shall have the power to determine whether a nomination or any business proposed to be brought before the meeting was made in accordance with the provisions of this By-law. If neither the Board of Directors nor such designated committee makes a determination as to whether any stockholder proposal or nomination was made in accordance with the provisions of this By-law, the presiding officer of the Annual Meeting shall have the power and duty to determine whether the stockholder proposal or nomination was made in accordance with the provisions of this By-law. If the Board of Directors or a designated committee thereof or the presiding officer, as applicable, determines that any stockholder proposal or nomination was not made in accordance with the provisions of this By-law, such proposal or nomination shall be disregarded and shall not be presented for action at the Annual Meeting.
(2) Except as otherwise required by law, nothing in this Article I, Section 2 shall obligate the Corporation or the Board of Directors to include in any proxy statement or other stockholder communication distributed on behalf of the Corporation or the Board of Directors information with respect to any nominee for director or any other matter of business submitted by a stockholder.
(3) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article I, Section 2, if the nominating or proposing stockholder (or a qualified representative of the stockholder) does not appear at the Annual Meeting to present a nomination or any business, such nomination or business shall be disregarded, notwithstanding that proxies in respect of such vote may have been received by the Corporation. For purposes of this Article I, Section 2, to be considered a qualified representative of the proposing stockholder, a person must be authorized by a written instrument executed by such stockholder or an electronic transmission delivered by such stockholder to act for such stockholder as proxy at the meeting of stockholders and such person must produce such written instrument or electronic transmission, or a reliable reproduction of the written instrument or electronic transmission, to the presiding officer at the meeting of stockholders.
5
(4) For purposes of this By-law, public announcement shall mean disclosure in a press release reported by the Dow Jones News Service, Associated Press or comparable national news service or in a document publicly filed by the Corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 13, 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act.
(5) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this By-law, a stockholder shall also comply with all applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder with respect to the matters set forth in this By-law. Nothing in this By-law shall be deemed to affect any rights of (i) stockholders to have nominations or proposals included in the Corporations proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 or Rule 14a-11 (or any successor rules), as applicable, under the Exchange Act and, to the extent required by such rule, have such nominations or proposals considered and voted on at an Annual Meeting or (ii) the holders of any series of Undesignated Preferred Stock to elect directors under specified circumstances.
SECTION 3. Special Meetings.
(a) Except as otherwise required by statute and subject to the rights, if any, of the holders of any series of Undesignated Preferred Stock, special meetings of the stockholders of the Corporation may be called only by the Board of Directors acting pursuant to a resolution approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of the Directors then in office.
(b) Only such business shall be conducted at a special meeting of stockholders as shall have been brought before the meeting by or at the direction of the Board of Directors. The notice of such special meeting shall include the purpose for which the meeting is called. Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors may be made at a special meeting of stockholders at which directors are to be elected (a) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or (b) provided that the Board of Directors has determined that directors shall be elected at such meeting, by any stockholder who is a stockholder of record of the Corporation at the time of giving of notice provided for in this paragraph, who shall be entitled to vote at the meeting, who is present (in person or by proxy) at the meeting and who complies with the notice and other procedures (including the content of such notice and the procedures to update and supplement such notice) applicable to nominations at Annual Meetings set forth in Article I, Section 2 of these By-laws; provided, however, that for such notice to be considered timely for purposes of this Section 3, such notice shall have been received by the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation no later than the close of business on the later of the ninetieth (90th) day prior to the scheduled date of such special meeting or the tenth (10th) day following the day on which public announcement is first made of the date of the special meeting and of the nominees proposed by the Board of Directors to be elected at such meeting. If the Corporation calls a special meeting of stockholders for the purpose of electing one or more directors to the Board of Directors, the provisions of Article I, Section 2 of these By-laws applicable to director nominations at an Annual Meeting shall apply to this Section 3 as if such special meeting were an Annual Meeting (subject to the proviso included in the immediately preceding sentence). A person shall not be eligible for election or reelection as a director at a special meeting unless the person is nominated (i) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors
6
or (ii) by a stockholder of record in accordance with the notice and other procedures set forth in this Article I.
(c) For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3, a stockholder shall also comply with all applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder with respect to matters set forth in this Section 3. Nothing in this Section 3 shall be deemed to affect any rights of (i) stockholders to have proposals included in the Corporations proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 (or any successor rule) under the Exchange Act and, to the extent required by such rule, have such proposals considered and voted on at a special meeting of stockholders or (ii) the holders of any series of Undesignated Preferred Stock to elect directors under specified circumstances.
(d) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 3 to the contrary, if the proposing stockholder or its qualified representative (as such term is defined in Article I, Section 2(b)(3) of these By-Laws) does not appear at the special meeting of stockholders of the Corporation to present a nomination, such nomination shall be disregarded, notwithstanding that proxies in respect of such vote may have been received by the Corporation.
SECTION 4. Notice of Meetings; Adjournments.
(a) A notice of each Annual Meeting stating the hour, date and place, if any, of such Annual Meeting and the means of remote communication, if any, by which stockholders and proxyholders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such meeting, shall be given not less than ten (10) days nor more than sixty (60) days before the Annual Meeting, to each stockholder entitled to vote thereat by delivering such notice to such stockholder or by mailing it, postage prepaid, addressed to such stockholder at the address of such stockholder as it appears on the Corporations stock transfer books. Without limiting the manner by which notice may otherwise be given to stockholders, any notice to stockholders may be given by electronic transmission in the manner provided in Section 232 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (DGCL).
(b) Notice of all special meetings of stockholders shall be given in the same manner as provided for Annual Meetings, except that the notice of all special meetings shall state the purpose or purposes for which the meeting has been called.
(c) Notice of an Annual Meeting or special meeting of stockholders need not be given to a stockholder if a waiver of notice is executed, or waiver of notice by electronic transmission is provided, before or after such meeting by such stockholder or if such stockholder attends such meeting, unless such attendance is for the express purpose of objecting at the beginning of the meeting to the transaction of any business because the meeting was not lawfully called or convened.
(d) The Board of Directors may postpone and reschedule any previously scheduled Annual Meeting or special meeting of stockholders and any record date with respect thereto, regardless of whether any notice or public disclosure with respect to any such meeting has been sent or made pursuant to Section 2 of this Article I of these By-laws or otherwise. In no event shall the public announcement of an adjournment, postponement or rescheduling of any
7
previously scheduled meeting of stockholders commence a new time period for the giving of a stockholders notice under this Article I of these By-laws.
(e) When any meeting is convened, the presiding officer may adjourn the meeting if (i) no quorum is present for the transaction of business, (ii) the Board of Directors determines that adjournment is necessary or appropriate to enable the stockholders to consider fully information which the Board of Directors determines has not been made sufficiently or timely available to stockholders, or (iii) the Board of Directors determines that adjournment is otherwise in the best interests of the Corporation. When any Annual Meeting or special meeting of stockholders is adjourned to another hour, date or place, notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting other than an announcement at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken of the hour, date and place, if any, to which the meeting is adjourned and the means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders and proxyholders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such adjourned meeting; provided, however, that if the adjournment is for more than thirty (30) days from the meeting date, or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, notice of the adjourned meeting and the means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders and proxyholders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote thereat and each stockholder who, by law or under the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation (as the same may hereafter be amended and/or restated, the Certificate) or these By-laws, is entitled to such notice.
SECTION 5. Quorum. A majority of the shares entitled to vote, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at any meeting of stockholders. If less than a quorum is present at a meeting, the holders of voting stock representing a majority of the voting power present at the meeting or the presiding officer may adjourn the meeting from time to time, and the meeting may be held as adjourned without further notice, except as provided in Section 4 of this Article I. At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum is present, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally noticed. The stockholders present at a duly constituted meeting may continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough stockholders to leave less than a quorum.
SECTION 6. Voting and Proxies. Stockholders shall have one vote for each share of stock entitled to vote owned by them of record according to the stock ledger of the Corporation as of the record date, unless otherwise provided by law or by the Certificate. Stockholders may vote either (i) in person, (ii) by written proxy or (iii) by a transmission permitted by Section 212(c) of the DGCL. Any copy, facsimile telecommunication or other reliable reproduction of the writing or transmission permitted by Section 212(c) of the DGCL may be substituted for or used in lieu of the original writing or transmission for any and all purposes for which the original writing or transmission could be used, provided that such copy, facsimile telecommunication or other reproduction shall be a complete reproduction of the entire original writing or transmission. Proxies shall be filed in accordance with the procedures established for the meeting of stockholders. Except as otherwise limited therein or as otherwise provided by law, proxies authorizing a person to vote at a specific meeting shall entitle the persons authorized thereby to vote at any adjournment of such meeting, but they shall not be valid after final
8
adjournment of such meeting. A proxy with respect to stock held in the name of two or more persons shall be valid if executed by or on behalf of any one of them unless at or prior to the exercise of the proxy the Corporation receives a specific written notice to the contrary from any one of them.
SECTION 7. Action at Meeting. When a quorum is present at any meeting of stockholders, any matter before any such meeting (other than an election of a director or directors) shall be decided by a majority of the votes properly cast for and against such matter, except where a larger vote is required by law, by the Certificate or by these By-laws. Any election of directors by stockholders shall be determined by a plurality of the votes properly cast on the election of directors.
SECTION 8. Stockholder Lists. The Secretary or an Assistant Secretary (or the Corporations transfer agent or other person authorized by these By-laws or by law) shall prepare and make, at least ten (10) days before every Annual Meeting or special meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, arranged in alphabetical order, and showing the address of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for a period of at least ten (10) days prior to the meeting in the manner provided by law. The list shall also be open to the examination of any stockholder during the whole time of the meeting as provided by law.
SECTION 9. Presiding Officer. The Board of Directors shall designate a representative to preside over all Annual Meetings or special meetings of stockholders, provided that if the Board of Directors does not so designate such a presiding officer, then the Chairman of the Board, if one is elected, shall preside over such meetings. If the Board of Directors does not so designate such a presiding officer and there is no Chairman of the Board or the Chairman of the Board is unable to so preside or is absent, then the Chief Executive Officer, if one is elected, shall preside over such meetings, provided further that if there is no Chief Executive Officer or the Chief Executive Officer is unable to so preside or is absent, then the President shall preside over such meetings. The presiding officer at any Annual Meeting or special meeting of stockholders shall have the power, among other things, to adjourn such meeting at any time and from time to time, subject to Sections 4 and 5 of this Article I. The order of business and all other matters of procedure at any meeting of the stockholders shall be determined by the presiding officer.
SECTION 10. Inspectors of Elections. The Corporation shall, in advance of any meeting of stockholders, appoint one or more inspectors to act at the meeting and make a written report thereof. The Corporation may designate one or more persons as alternate inspectors to replace any inspector who fails to act. If no inspector or alternate is able to act at a meeting of stockholders, the presiding officer shall appoint one or more inspectors to act at the meeting. Any inspector may, but need not, be an officer, employee or agent of the Corporation. Each inspector, before entering upon the discharge of his or her duties, shall take and sign an oath faithfully to execute the duties of inspector with strict impartiality and according to the best of his or her ability. The inspectors shall perform such duties as are required by the DGCL,
9
including the counting of all votes and ballots. The inspectors may appoint or retain other persons or entities to assist the inspectors in the performance of the duties of the inspectors. The presiding officer may review all determinations made by the inspectors, and in so doing the presiding officer shall be entitled to exercise his or her sole judgment and discretion and he or she shall not be bound by any determinations made by the inspectors. All determinations by the inspectors and, if applicable, the presiding officer, shall be subject to further review by any court of competent jurisdiction.

11
a meeting in accordance herewith shall constitute presence in person at such meeting for purposes of these By-laws.

Subject to any restrictions on transfer and unless otherwise provided by the Board of Directors, shares of stock that are represented by a certificate may be transferred on the books of the Corporation by the surrender to the Corporation or its transfer agent of the certificate theretofore properly endorsed or accompanied by a written assignment or power of attorney properly executed, with transfer stamps (if necessary) affixed, and with such proof of the authenticity of signature as the Corporation or its transfer agent may reasonably require. Shares of stock that are not represented by a certificate may be transferred on the books of the Corporation by submitting to the Corporation or its transfer agent such evidence of transfer and following such other procedures as the Corporation or its transfer agent may require.
SECTION 3. Record Holders. Except as may otherwise be required by law, by the Certificate or by these By-laws, the Corporation shall be entitled to treat the record holder of stock as shown on its books as the owner of such stock for all purposes, including the payment of dividends and the right to vote with respect thereto, regardless of any transfer, pledge or other disposition of such stock, until the shares have been transferred on the books of the Corporation in accordance with the requirements of these By-laws.
SECTION 4. Record Date. In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof or entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights, or entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the Board of Directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors, and which record date: (a) in the case of determination of stockholders entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders, shall, unless otherwise required by law, not be more than sixty (60) nor less than ten (10) days before the date of such meeting and (b) in the case of any other action, shall not be more than sixty (60) days prior to such other action. If no record date is fixed: (i) the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held; and (ii) the record date for determining stockholders for any other purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution relating thereto.
15
SECTION 5. Replacement of Certificates. In case of the alleged loss, destruction or mutilation of a certificate of stock of the Corporation, a duplicate certificate may be issued in place thereof, upon such terms as the Board of Directors may prescribe.

SECTION 2. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
(a) Subject to the operation of Section 4 of this Article V of these By-laws, each Director and Officer shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the fullest extent authorized by the DGCL, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than such law permitted the Corporation to provide prior to such amendment), and to the extent authorized in this Section 2.
(1) Actions, Suits and Proceedings Other than By or In the Right of the Corporation. Each Director and Officer shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation against any and all Expenses and Liabilities that are incurred or paid by such Director or Officer or on such Directors or Officers behalf in connection with any Proceeding or any claim, issue or matter therein (other than an action by or in the right of the Corporation), which such Director or Officer is, or is threatened to be made, a party to or participant in by reason of such Directors or Officers Corporate Status, if such Director or Officer acted in good faith and in a manner such Director or Officer reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation and, with respect to any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.
(2) Actions, Suits and Proceedings By or In the Right of the Corporation. Each Director and Officer shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation against any and all Expenses that are incurred by such Director or Officer or on such Directors or Officers behalf in connection with any Proceeding or any claim, issue or matter therein by or in the right of the Corporation, which such Director or Officer is, or is threatened to be made, a party to or participant in by reason of such Directors or Officers Corporate Status, if such Director or Officer acted in good faith and in a manner such Director or Officer reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation; provided, however, that no indemnification shall be made under this Section 2(a)(2) in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such Director or
17
Officer shall have been finally adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction to be liable to the Corporation, unless, and only to the extent that, the Court of Chancery or another court in which such Proceeding was brought shall determine upon application that, despite adjudication of liability, but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such Director or Officer is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification for such Expenses that such court deems proper.
(3) Survival of Rights. The rights of indemnification provided by this Section 2 shall continue as to a Director or Officer after he or she has ceased to be a Director or Officer and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors, administrators and personal representatives.
(4) Actions by Directors or Officers. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Corporation shall indemnify any Director or Officer seeking indemnification in connection with a Proceeding initiated by such Director or Officer only if such Proceeding (including any parts of such Proceeding not initiated by such Director or Officer) was authorized in advance by the Board of Directors of the Corporation, unless such Proceeding was brought to enforce such Officers or Directors rights to indemnification or, in the case of Directors, advancement of Expenses under these By-laws in accordance with the provisions set forth herein.
SECTION 3. Indemnification of Non-Officer Employees. Subject to the operation of Section 4 of this Article V of these By-laws, each Non-Officer Employee may, in the discretion of the Board of Directors of the Corporation, be indemnified by the Corporation to the fullest extent authorized by the DGCL, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended, against any or all Expenses and Liabilities that are incurred by such Non-Officer Employee or on such Non-Officer Employees behalf in connection with any threatened, pending or completed Proceeding, or any claim, issue or matter therein, which such Non-Officer Employee is, or is threatened to be made, a party to or participant in by reason of such Non-Officer Employees Corporate Status, if such Non-Officer Employee acted in good faith and in a manner such Non-Officer Employee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation and, with respect to any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. The rights of indemnification provided by this Section 3 shall exist as to a Non-Officer Employee after he or she has ceased to be a Non-Officer Employee and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, personal representatives, executors and administrators. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Corporation may indemnify any Non-Officer Employee seeking indemnification in connection with a Proceeding initiated by such Non-Officer Employee only if such Proceeding was authorized in advance by the Board of Directors of the Corporation.
SECTION 4. Determination. Unless ordered by a court, no indemnification shall be provided pursuant to this Article V to a Director, to an Officer or to a Non-Officer Employee unless a determination shall have been made that such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation and, with respect to any criminal Proceeding, such person had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. Such determination shall be made by (a) a majority vote of the
18
Disinterested Directors, even though less than a quorum of the Board of Directors, (b) a committee comprised of Disinterested Directors, such committee having been designated by a majority vote of the Disinterested Directors (even though less than a quorum), (c) if there are no such Disinterested Directors, or if a majority of Disinterested Directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (d) by the stockholders of the Corporation.
SECTION 5. Advancement of Expenses to Directors Prior to Final Disposition.
(a) The Corporation shall advance all Expenses incurred by or on behalf of any Director in connection with any Proceeding in which such Director is involved by reason of such Directors Corporate Status within thirty (30) days after the receipt by the Corporation of a written statement from such Director requesting such advance or advances from time to time, whether prior to or after final disposition of such Proceeding. Such statement or statements shall reasonably evidence the Expenses incurred by such Director and shall be preceded or accompanied by an undertaking by or on behalf of such Director to repay any Expenses so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that such Director is not entitled to be indemnified against such Expenses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Corporation shall advance all Expenses incurred by or on behalf of any Director seeking advancement of expenses hereunder in connection with a Proceeding initiated by such Director only if such Proceeding (including any parts of such Proceeding not initiated by such Director) was (i) authorized by the Board of Directors of the Corporation, or (ii) brought to enforce such Directors rights to indemnification or advancement of Expenses under these By-laws.
(b) If a claim for advancement of Expenses hereunder by a Director is not paid in full by the Corporation within thirty (30) days after receipt by the Corporation of documentation of Expenses and the required undertaking, such Director may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim and if successful in whole or in part, such Director shall also be entitled to be paid the expenses of prosecuting such claim. The failure of the Corporation (including its Board of Directors or any committee thereof, independent legal counsel, or stockholders) to make a determination concerning the permissibility of such advancement of Expenses under this Article V shall not be a defense to an action brought by a Director for recovery of the unpaid amount of an advancement claim and shall not create a presumption that such advancement is not permissible. The burden of proving that a Director is not entitled to an advancement of expenses shall be on the Corporation.
(c) In any suit brought by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the Corporation shall be entitled to recover such expenses upon a final adjudication that the Director has not met any applicable standard for indemnification set forth in the DGCL.
SECTION 6. Advancement of Expenses to Officers and Non-Officer Employees Prior to Final Disposition.
(a) The Corporation may, at the discretion of the Board of Directors of the Corporation, advance any or all Expenses incurred by or on behalf of any Officer or any Non-Officer Employee in connection with any Proceeding in which such person is involved by reason
19
of his or her Corporate Status as an Officer or Non-Officer Employee upon the receipt by the Corporation of a statement or statements from such Officer or Non-Officer Employee requesting such advance or advances from time to time, whether prior to or after final disposition of such Proceeding. Such statement or statements shall reasonably evidence the Expenses incurred by such Officer or Non-Officer Employee and shall be preceded or accompanied by an undertaking by or on behalf of such person to repay any Expenses so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that such Officer or Non-Officer Employee is not entitled to be indemnified against such Expenses.
(b) In any suit brought by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the Corporation shall be entitled to recover such expenses upon a final adjudication that the Officer or Non-Officer Employee has not met any applicable standard for indemnification set forth in the DGCL.
SECTION 7. Contractual Nature of Rights.
(a) The provisions of this Article V shall be deemed to be a contract between the Corporation and each Director and Officer entitled to the benefits hereof at any time while this Article V is in effect, in consideration of such persons past or current and any future performance of services for the Corporation. Neither amendment, repeal or modification of any provision of this Article V nor the adoption of any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation inconsistent with this Article V shall eliminate or reduce any right conferred by this Article V in respect of any act or omission occurring, or any cause of action or claim that accrues or arises or any state of facts existing, at the time of or before such amendment, repeal, modification or adoption of an inconsistent provision (even in the case of a proceeding based on such a state of facts that is commenced after such time), and all rights to indemnification and advancement of Expenses granted herein or arising out of any act or omission shall vest at the time of the act or omission in question, regardless of when or if any proceeding with respect to such act or omission is commenced. The rights to indemnification and to advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Article V shall continue notwithstanding that the person has ceased to be a director or officer of the Corporation and shall inure to the benefit of the estate, heirs, executors, administrators, legatees and distributes of such person.
(b) If a claim for indemnification hereunder by a Director or Officer is not paid in full by the Corporation within sixty (60) days after receipt by the Corporation of a written claim for indemnification, such Director or Officer may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim, and if successful in whole or in part, such Director or Officer shall also be entitled to be paid the expenses of prosecuting such claim. The failure of the Corporation (including its Board of Directors or any committee thereof, independent legal counsel, or stockholders) to make a determination concerning the permissibility of such indemnification under this Article V shall not be a defense to an action brought by a Director or Officer for recovery of the unpaid amount of an indemnification claim and shall not create a presumption that such indemnification is not permissible. The burden of proving that a Director or Officer is not entitled to indemnification shall be on the Corporation.
20
(c) In any suit brought by a Director or Officer to enforce a right to indemnification hereunder, it shall be a defense that such Director or Officer has not met any applicable standard for indemnification set forth in the DGCL.
SECTION 8. Non-Exclusivity of Rights. The rights to indemnification and to advancement of Expenses set forth in this Article V shall not be exclusive of any other right which any Director, Officer, or Non-Officer Employee may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the Certificate or these By-laws, agreement, vote of stockholders or Disinterested Directors or otherwise.
SECTION 9. Insurance. The Corporation may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any Director, Officer or Non-Officer Employee against any liability of any character asserted against or incurred by the Corporation or any such Director, Officer or Non-Officer Employee, or arising out of any such persons Corporate Status, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability under the DGCL or the provisions of this Article V.
SECTION 10. Other Indemnification. The Corporations obligation, if any, to indemnify or provide advancement of Expenses to any person under this Article V as a result of such person serving, at the request of the Corporation, as a director, partner, trustee, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise shall be reduced by any amount such person may collect as indemnification or advancement of Expenses from such other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or enterprise (the Primary Indemnitor). Any indemnification or advancement of Expenses under this Article V owed by the Corporation as a result of a person serving, at the request of the Corporation, as a director, partner, trustee, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise shall only be in excess of, and shall be secondary to, the indemnification or advancement of Expenses available from the applicable Primary Indemnitor(s) and any applicable insurance policies.

(c) The Company shall be obligated to reissue unlegended certificates at the request of any Holder if (i) the securities proposed to be disposed of are registered under the Securities Act, or (ii) such holder obtains an opinion of counsel at the Holders expense (which counsel may be counsel to the Company) reasonably acceptable to the Company to the effect that the securities proposed to be disposed of may lawfully be so disposed of without registration, qualification or legend, provided that, in each case, the Holders shall have delivered the certificate to the Company or its transfer agent.
(d) Any legend endorsed on an instrument pursuant to applicable state securities laws and the stop-transfer instructions with respect to the securities shall be removed upon receipt by the Company of an order of the appropriate blue sky authority authorizing the removal.
1.2 Requested Registration.
(a) Request for Registration. If the Company receives from Initiating Holders at any time or times after the earlier of (i) two (2) years after the date of this Agreement or (ii) six (6) months after the effective date of an IPO, a written request that the Company effect any registration with respect to all or a part of the Registrable Securities the aggregate proceeds of which (after deduction for underwriters discounts and expenses related to the issuance) equal or exceed $5,000,000, then the Company will:
(i) promptly give written notice of the proposed registration to all other Holders; and
5
(ii) as soon as practicable, use its reasonable best efforts to effect the registration (including, without limitation, filing post-effective amendments, appropriate qualifications under applicable blue sky or other state securities laws, and appropriate compliance with the Securities Act) and as would permit or facilitate the sale and distribution of all or the portion of the Registrable Securities as are specified in the request, together with all or the portion of the Registrable Securities of any Holder or Holders joining in the request as are specified in a written request received by the Company within twenty (20) days after the written notice from the Company is mailed or delivered. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if the registration requested is to be an underwritten offering and if the underwriters have not limited the number of Registrable Securities to be underwritten, the Company shall be entitled, at its election, to join in any such registration with respect to securities to be offered by it or any other party, up to the additional number of shares as the underwriters determine in their sole discretion is compatible with the success of the offering.
The Company shall not be obligated to effect, or to take any action to effect, any registration pursuant to this Section 1.2:
(A) In any particular jurisdiction in which the Company would be required to execute a general consent to service of process in effecting the registration, qualification, or compliance, unless the Company is already subject to service in that jurisdiction and except as may be required by the Securities Act;
(B) After the Company has initiated two registrations pursuant to this Section 1.2(a) (counting for these purposes only (i) registrations which have been declared or ordered effective and pursuant to which securities have been sold and (ii) registrations which have been withdrawn by the Holders as to which the Holders have elected not to bear the Registration Expenses pursuant to Section 1.4 and would, absent such election, have been required to bear the expenses);
(C) If the Company delivers written notice to the Holders within thirty (30) days of receipt of a written request for registration from the Initiating Holders, of the Companys intent to file a registration statement for an IPO within sixty (60) days;
(D) During the period starting with the date sixty (60) days prior to the Companys good faith estimate of the date of filing of, and ending on a date one hundred eighty (180) days after the effective date of, a Company-initiated registration; provided that the Company is actively employing in good faith all reasonable efforts to cause the registration statement to become effective; or
6
(E) If the Initiating Holders propose to dispose of shares of Registrable Securities which may be immediately registered on Form S-3 pursuant to a request made under Section 1.5.
(b) Subject to the foregoing clauses (A) through (E), the Company shall file a registration statement covering the Registrable Securities so requested to be registered as soon as practicable after receipt of the request or requests of the Initiating Holders; provided, however, that if (i) in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company, the registration would be detrimental to the Company and the Board of Directors of the Company concludes, as a result, that it is in the best interests of the Company to defer the filing of the registration statement at that time, and (ii) the Company shall furnish to the Holders 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 detrimental to the Company for the registration statement to be filed in the near future and that it is, therefore, in the best interests of the Company to defer the filing of the registration statement, then the Company shall have the right to defer the filing (except as provided in clause (C) above) for a period of not more than one hundred twenty (120) days after receipt of the request of the Initiating Holders, and, provided further, that the Company shall not defer its obligation in this manner more than once in any twelve-month period.
The registration statement filed pursuant to the request of the Initiating Holders may, subject to the provisions of Sections 1.2(d) and 1.13, include other securities of the Company, with respect to which registration rights have been granted, and securities of the Company being sold for the account of the Company.
(c) Underwriting. If the Initiating Holders intend to distribute the Registrable Securities covered by their request by means of an underwriting, the right of any Holder to registration pursuant to Section 1.2 shall be conditioned upon the Holders participation in the underwriting and the inclusion of the Holders Registrable Securities in the underwriting (unless otherwise mutually agreed by a majority in interest of the Initiating Holders and the Holder with respect to the participation and inclusion) to the extent provided herein. A Holder may elect to include in the underwriting all or a part of the Registrable Securities he holds.
(d) Procedures. If the Company requests inclusion in any registration pursuant to Section 1.2 of securities being sold for its own account, or if other persons shall request inclusion in any registration pursuant to Section 1.2, the Initiating Holders shall, on behalf of all Holders, offer to include those securities in the underwriting and may condition the offer on their acceptance of the further applicable provisions of this Section 1 (including Section 1.12). The Company shall (together with all Holders and other persons proposing to distribute their securities through the underwriting) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the representative of the underwriter or underwriters selected for the underwriting by a majority in interest of the Initiating Holders, which underwriters are reasonably acceptable to the Company. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 1.2, if the representative of the underwriters advises the Initiating Holders in writing that marketing factors require a limitation on the number
7
of shares to be underwritten, the number of shares to be included in the underwriting or registration shall be allocated as set forth in Section 1.13. If a person who has requested inclusion in the registration as provided above does not agree to the terms of the underwriting, then that person shall be excluded therefrom by written notice from the Company, the underwriter or the Initiating Holders. The securities so excluded shall also be withdrawn from registration. Any Registrable Securities or other securities excluded or withdrawn from the underwriting shall also be withdrawn from the registration. If shares are so withdrawn from the registration and if the number of shares to be included in the registration was previously reduced as a result of marketing factors pursuant to this Section 1.2(d), then the Company shall offer to all holders who have retained rights to include securities in the registration the right to include additional securities in the registration in an aggregate amount equal to the number of shares so withdrawn, with those shares to be allocated among the Holders requesting additional inclusion in accordance with Section 1.13.
1.3 Company Registration.
(a) Company Registration/Piggyback Rights. If the Company decides to register any of its securities either for its own account or the account of a security holder or holders exercising their respective demand registration rights (other than pursuant to Section 1.2 or 1.5), other than a registration relating solely to employee benefit plans, a registration relating to the offer and sale of debt securities, or a registration relating to a corporate reorganization or other transaction on Form S-4, or a registration on any registration form that does not permit secondary sales, the Company will:
(i) promptly give to each Holder written notice thereof; and
(ii) use its commercially reasonable efforts to include in that registration (and any related qualification under blue sky laws or other compliance), except as set forth in Section 1.3(b), and in any underwriting involved therein, all the Registrable Securities specified in a written request or requests, made by any Holder and received by the Company within ten (10) days after the written notice from the Company described in clause (i) above is mailed or delivered by the Company. The written request may specify all or a part of a Holders Registrable Securities.
(b) Underwriting. If the registration of which the Company gives notice is for a registered public offering involving an underwriting, the Company shall so advise the Holders as a part of the written notice given pursuant to Section 1.3(a)(i). In that event, the right of any Holder to registration pursuant to this Section 1.3 shall be conditioned upon the Holders participation in the underwriting and the inclusion of the Holders Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided herein. All Holders proposing to distribute their securities through the underwriting shall (together with the Company and the other holders of securities of the Company with registration rights to participate therein distributing their securities through the underwriting) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the representative of the underwriter or underwriters selected by the Company.
8
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 1.3, if the representative of the underwriters advises the Company in writing that marketing factors require a limitation on the number of shares to be underwritten, the representative may (subject to the limitations set forth below) limit the number of Registrable Securities to be included in the registration and underwriting. The Company shall so advise all holders of securities requesting registration, and the number of shares of securities that are entitled to be included in the registration and underwriting shall be allocated as set forth in Section 1.13. If any person does not agree to the terms of the underwriting, he shall be excluded therefrom by written notice from the Company or the underwriter. Any Registrable Securities or other securities excluded or withdrawn from the underwriting shall be withdrawn from the registration. To facilitate the allocation of shares in accordance with the above provisions, the Company or the underwriter(s) may round the number of shares allocated to any Holder to the nearest 100 shares.
If shares are so withdrawn from the registration and if the number of shares of Registrable Securities to be included in the registration was previously reduced as a result of marketing factors, the Company shall then offer to all persons who have retained the right to include securities in the registration the right to include additional securities in the registration in an aggregate amount equal to the number of shares so withdrawn, with the shares to be allocated among the persons requesting additional inclusion in accordance with Section 1.13.
(c) Right to Terminate Registration. The Company shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under this Section 1.3 prior to the effectiveness of the registration whether or not any Holder has elected to include securities in the registration.
1.4 Expenses of Registration. All Registration Expenses incurred in connection with any registration, qualification or compliance pursuant to Sections 1.2, 1.3 and 1.5 and reasonable fees of one counsel for the selling shareholders in connection with any such registration shall be borne by the Company; provided, however, that if the Holders bear the Registration Expenses for any registration proceeding begun pursuant to Section 1.2 and subsequently withdrawn by the Holders registering shares therein, that registration proceeding shall not be counted as a requested registration pursuant to Section 1.2; provided, however, in the event that a withdrawal by the Holders is based upon material adverse information relating to the Company that is different from the information known or available (upon request from the Company or otherwise) to the Holders requesting registration at the time of their request for registration under Section 1.2, such registration shall not be treated as a counted registration for purposes of Section 1.2 hereof, even though the Holders do not bear the Registration Expenses for such registration. All Selling Expenses relating to securities so registered shall be borne by the holders of those securities pro rata on the basis of the number of shares of securities so registered on their behalf, as shall any other expenses in connection with the registration required to be borne by the Holders of the securities.
9
1.5 Registration on Form S-3.
(a) After it becomes an Exchange Act reporting company, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to qualify for registration on Form S-3 or any comparable or successor form or forms. After the Company has qualified for the use of Form S-3, in addition to the rights contained in the foregoing provisions of this Section 1, the Holders of Registrable Securities shall have the right to request registrations on Form S-3 (the requests shall be in writing and shall state the number of shares of Registrable Securities to be disposed of and the intended methods of disposition of the shares by the Holder or Holders), provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to effect any such registration (i) if the Holders, together with the holders of any other securities of the Company entitled to inclusion in that registration, propose to sell Registrable Securities and other securities (if any) on Form S-3 at an aggregate price to the public of less than $l,000,000 (ii) in the circumstances described in clauses (A) and (D) of Section 1.2(a), (iii) if the Company furnishes the certification described in Section 1.2(b) (but subject to the limitations set forth therein), (iv) if, in a given twelve-month period, the Company has effected two (2) such registrations or (v) if it is to be effected more than five (5) years after the Companys IPO.
(b) If a request complying with the requirements of Section 1.5(a) is delivered to the Company, the provisions of Sections 1.2(a)(i) and (ii) (exclusive of clauses (A) through (E) and the introductory language that follows the single paragraph numbered Section 1.2(a)(ii), in each case, except as specifically provided in Section 1.5(a)) ) and Section 1.2(b) shall apply to the registration. If the registration is for an underwritten offering, the provisions of Sections 1.2(c) and 1.2(d) shall apply to the registration.
1.6 Registration Procedures. In the case of each registration effected by the Company pursuant to Section 1, the Company will keep each Holder advised in writing as to the initiation of each registration and as to the completion thereof. At its expense, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to:
(a) Keep the registration effective for a period of ninety (90) days or until the Holder or Holders have completed the distribution described in the registration statement relating thereto, whichever first occurs; provided, however, that (i) such 90 day period shall be extended for a period of time equal to the period the Holder(s) refrain from selling any securities included in such registration at the request of an underwriter of Common Stock (or other securities) of the Company (including any market stand-off or black-out periods) and (ii) in the case of any registration of Registrable Securities on Form S-3 which are intended to be offered on a continuous or delayed basis, such 90 day period shall be extended, if necessary, to keep the registration statement effective until the earlier of (A) such time as all such Registrable Securities registered on such registration statement are sold or (B) all such Registrable Securities on such registration statement may be sold pursuant to Rule 144; provided, further, however, that with respect to (ii) above, that Rule 415, or any successor rule under the Securities Act, permits an offering on a continuous or delayed basis and that the applicable rules under the Securities Act governing the obligation to file a post-effective amendment permit, in lieu of filing a post-effective amendment that (I) includes any prospectus required by
10
Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act or (II) reflects facts or events representing a material or fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement, the incorporation by reference of information required to be included in (I) and (II) above to be contained in periodic reports filed pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act in the registration statement;
(b) Prepare and file with the Commission amendments and supplements to the registration statement and the prospectus used in connection with the registration statement as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by the registration statement;
(c) Furnish the number of prospectuses (including preliminary prospectuses) and other documents incident thereto, including any amendment of or supplement to the prospectus, as a Holder from time to time may reasonably request;
(d) Cause all Registrable Securities registered pursuant hereunder to be listed on each securities exchange on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed;
(e) In connection with any underwritten offering pursuant to a registration statement filed pursuant to Section 1.2, the Company will enter into an underwriting agreement in form reasonably necessary to effect the offer and sale of Common Stock, provided that the underwriting agreement contains reasonable and customary provisions, and provided further, that each Holder participating in the underwriting shall also enter into and perform its obligations under the underwriting agreement;
(f) Use its commercially reasonable efforts to register and qualify the securities covered by such registration statement under such other securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdiction as shall be reasonably requested by the Holders; provided, that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to qualify to do business or to file a general consent to service of process in any such states or jurisdictions;
(g) Notify each seller of Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or incomplete in light of the circumstances then existing promptly upon becoming aware of any such event, and promptly prepare and furnish to such seller a reasonable number of copies of a supplement to or an amendment of such prospectus as may be necessary so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such shares, such prospectus shall not include an 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 not misleading or incomplete in light of the circumstances then existing;
11
(h) Use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause to be furnished, on the date that such Registrable Securities are delivered to the underwriters for sale, if such securities are being sold through underwriters, (i) an opinion, dated as of such date, of the counsel representing the Company for the purposes of such registration, in form and substance as is customarily given to underwriters in an underwritten public offering, addressed to the underwriters, if any, and reasonably satisfactory to a majority in interest of the Holders requesting registration of Registrable Securities and (ii) a comfort letter dated as of such date, from the independent certified public accountants of the Company, in form and substance as is customarily given by independent certified public accountants to underwriters in an underwritten public offering, addressed to the underwriters;
(i) Provide a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable Securities registered pursuant to such registration statement and a CUSIP number for all such Registrable Securities, in each case not later than the effective date of such registration; and
(j) Otherwise use its commercially reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission, and make available to its security holders, as soon as reasonably practicable, an earnings statement covering the period of at least twelve months, but not more than eighteen months, beginning with the first month after the effective date of the Registration Statement, which earnings statement shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act.
1.7 Indemnification.
(a) The Company will indemnify each Holder, each of its officers, directors, partners, members, selling stockholders, legal counsel, and accountants and each person controlling the Holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, with respect to which registration, qualification, or compliance has been effected pursuant to this Section 1, and each underwriter, if any, and each person who controls within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act any underwriter, against all expenses, claims, losses, damages, and liabilities (or actions, proceedings, or settlements in respect thereof) arising out of or based on (i) any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in (or incorporated by reference in) any prospectus, offering circular, or other document (including any related registration statement, notification, or the like) incident to any registration, qualification, or compliance, (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, or (iii) any violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any state securities laws (or any rule or regulation under any of them) applicable to the Company and relating to action or inaction required of the Company in connection with the registration, qualification, or compliance, and will reimburse each Holder, each of its officers, directors, partners, selling stockholders, legal counsel, accountants and underwriter and each person controlling the Holder, each underwriter, and each person who controls the underwriter, for any legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating and defending or settling any such claim, loss, damage, liability, or action, provided that the Company will not be liable to any Holder to the extent that any claim, loss, damage, liability, or expense arises
12
out of or is based on any untrue statement or omission based upon written information furnished to the Company by such Holder or underwriter and stated to be specifically for use therein. It is agreed that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 1.7(a) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any loss, claim, damage, liability, or action if the settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).
(b) Each Holder will, if Registrable Securities held by the Holder are included in the securities as to which the registration, qualification, or compliance is being effected, indemnify the Company, each of its directors, officers, legal counsel, and accountants and each underwriter, if any, of the Companys securities covered by the registration statement, each person who controls the Company or any underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, each other Holder and Other Shareholder, and each of their officers, directors, and partners, and each person controlling that Holder or Other Shareholder, against all claims, losses, damages and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arising out of or based on (i) any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in (or incorporated by reference in) any registration statement, prospectus, offering circular, or other document, or (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, and will reimburse the Company and the Holders, Other Shareholders, directors, officers, partners, legal counsel, and accountants, persons, underwriters, or control persons for any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending any claim, loss, damage, liability, or action, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that the untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) or omission (or alleged omission) is made in the registration statement, prospectus, offering circular, or other document in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Holder and stated to be specifically for use therein; provided, however, that the obligations of such Holder hereunder shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any claims, losses, damages, or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) if the settlement is effected without the consent of the Holder (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld); and provided, further, that in no event shall any indemnity under this Section 1.7(b) exceed the net proceeds from the offering received by such Holder.
(c) Each party entitled to indemnification under this Section 1.7 (the Indemnified Party) shall give notice to the party required to provide indemnification (the Indemnifying Party) promptly after the Indemnified Party has actual knowledge of any claim as to which indemnity may be sought, and shall permit the Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of the claim or any litigation resulting therefrom, provided that counsel for the Indemnifying Party, who shall conduct the defense of the claim or any litigation resulting therefrom, shall be approved by the Indemnified Party (whose approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), and the Indemnified Party may participate in the defense at its expense, and provided further that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Section 1, to the extent the failure is not prejudicial. No Indemnifying Party, in the defense of any claim or litigation, shall, except with the consent of each Indemnified Party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any
13
settlement that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to the Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect to the claim or litigation. Each Indemnified Party shall furnish the information regarding itself or the claim in question as an Indemnifying Party may reasonably request in writing and as shall be reasonably required in connection with defense of the claim and litigation resulting therefrom.
(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 1.7 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an Indemnified Party with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense referred to therein, then the Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying the Indemnified Party hereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Indemnified Party as a result of the loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense in the proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party on the one hand and of the Indemnified Party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in the loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and of the Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Indemnifying Party or by the Indemnified Party and the parties relative intent, knowledge, access to information, and opportunity to correct or prevent the statement or omission; provided, however, that, in any such case, (x) no Indemnifying Party will be required to contribute any amount in excess of the public offering price of all such Registrable Securities offered and sold by such Indemnifying pursuant to such registration statement, and (y) no Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of section 11(f) of the Securities Act) will be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation; and provided further that in no event shall an Indemnifying Partys liability pursuant to this Section 1.7(d), when combined with the amounts paid or payable by such Indemnifying Party pursuant to Section 1.7(b), exceed the proceeds from the offering (net of any Selling Expenses) received by such Indemnifying Party, except in the case of willful misconduct or fraud by such Indemnifying Party.
(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the provisions on indemnification and contribution contained in the underwriting agreement entered into in connection with the underwritten public offering are in conflict with the foregoing provisions, the provisions in this Agreement shall control.
1.8 Information by Holder. Each Holder of Registrable Securities shall furnish to the Company any information regarding the Holder and the distribution proposed by the Holder that the Company reasonably requests in writing and is reasonably required in connection with any registration, qualification, or compliance referred to in this Section 1.
1.9 Limitations on Subsequent Registration Rights. From and after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of a majority in interest of the Holders, enter into any agreement with any holder or prospective holder of any securities of the Company giving that holder or prospective holder any registration rights the terms of which
14
are more favorable than the registration rights granted to the Holders hereunder or that could reduce the number of shares includable by the Holders in a registration hereunder.
1.10 Rule 144 Reporting. With a view to making available the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the Commission that may permit the sale of the Restricted Securities to the public without registration, the Company agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to:
(a) Make and keep public information regarding the Company available as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act, at all times from and after ninety (90) days following the effective date of the Companys IPO;
(b) File with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act at any time after it has become subject to those reporting requirements;
(c) So long as a Holder owns any Restricted Securities, furnish to the Holder forthwith upon written request a written statement by the Company as to its compliance with the reporting requirements of Rule 144 (at any time from and after ninety (90) days following the effective date of the first registration statement filed by the Company for an offering of its securities to the general public), and of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act (at any time after it has become subject to the reporting requirements), a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company, and other reports and documents so filed as a Holder may reasonably request in availing itself of any rule or regulation of the Commission allowing a Holder to sell any of those securities without registration.
1.11 Transfer or Assignment of Registration Rights. The rights to cause the Company to register securities granted to a Holder by the Company under this Section 1 may be transferred or assigned by a Holder only to a transferee or assignee that (a) is an affiliate (including an affiliated venture capital fund), partner or member of Sequoia Capital XI, New Enterprise Associates 11, Limited Partnership, Fidelity Ventures IV, Limited Partnership, or any of their respective affiliated venture capital funds, (b) after the proposed assignment, holds at least 2% of the then outstanding Registrable Securities or (c) shares a common investment adviser with a Holder (including funds and accounts managed by T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc., a registered investment adviser), provided that, in the case of a transfer under clause (a), (b) or (c), the Company is given written notice at the time of or within a reasonable time after the transfer or assignment, stating the name and address of the transferee or assignee and identifying the securities with respect to which the registration rights are being transferred or assigned, and, provided further, that the transferee or assignee of those rights assumes in writing the obligations of the Holder under this Agreement.
1.12 Market Stand-Off Agreement.
(a) If requested by the Company and an underwriter of Common Stock (or other securities) of the Company, each Investor shall not sell or otherwise transfer or dispose of any Registrable Securities of the Company held by the Investor during the one hundred eighty (180) day period following the effective date of the first registration
15
statement of the Company filed under the Securities Act; provided that all officers and directors of the Company and holders of at least one percent (1%) of the Companys voting securities are bound by and have entered into similar agreements. The Company may impose stop-transfer instructions and may stamp each certificate with the second legend set forth in Section 1.1(b) with respect to the shares of Common Stock (or other securities) subject to the foregoing restriction until the end of the one hundred eighty (180) day period. Each Investor agrees to execute a market standoff agreement with the underwriters in customary form consistent with the provisions of this Section 1.12.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (i) during the last seventeen (17) days of the one hundred eighty (180)-day restricted period, the Company issues an earnings release or material news or a material event relating to the Company occurs; or (ii) prior to the expiration of the one hundred eighty (180)-day restricted period, the Company announces that it will release earnings results during the sixteen (16)-day period beginning on the last day of the one hundred eighty (180)-day period, the restrictions imposed by this Section 1.12 shall continue to apply until the expiration of the eighteen (18)-day period beginning on the issuance of the earnings release or the occurrence of the material news or material event.
(c) With respect solely to entities advised, managed or similarly affiliated with T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc., this Section 1.12 shall not prohibit any purchase of shares of Common Stock by such entities in the Companys initial public offering or open market or the sale of Common Stock that was purchased in the open market following such initial public offering.
1.13 Allocation of Registration Opportunities.
(a) With respect to any Company-initiated registration pursuant to Section 1.3 hereof, if the underwriters determine in their sole discretion that marketing conditions require a limitation on the number of shares to be underwritten, then the Company shall be required to include in the offering only that number of such securities, including Registrable Securities, which the underwriters determine in their sole discretion will not jeopardize the success of the offering (the securities so included to be apportioned pro rata among the selling shareholders according to the total amount of securities requested to be included therein by each such selling shareholder or in such other proportions as shall mutually be agreed to by such selling shareholders), but in no event shall (i) the amount of securities of the selling Holders included in the offering be reduced unless the securities of all other selling stockholders included in the offering are first completely excluded from the offering, or (ii) the amount of securities of the selling Holders included in the offering be reduced below twenty five percent (25%) of the total amount of securities included in such offering, unless such offering is the initial public offering of the Companys securities, in which case such Holders may be excluded entirely if the underwriters make the determination described above and if the securities of all other selling stockholders are excluded entirely. For purposes of apportionment, for any selling shareholder which is a Holder of Registrable Securities and which is a partnership, limited liability company or corporation, the partners (or retired partners), members (or retired members) and shareholders of such selling shareholder, or the estates and family

2.3 Termination of Covenants. The covenants set forth in this Section 2 shall terminate and be of no further force and effect after the closing of an IPO.
SECTION 3
RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL
3.1 Right of First Refusal. The Company hereby grants to each Significant Holder the right of first refusal to purchase a pro rata share of New Securities (as defined in this Section 3.1) which the Company may, from time to time, propose to sell and issue. A Significant Holders pro rata share, for purposes of this right of first refusal, is the ratio of the number of shares of Common Stock owned by the Significant Holder immediately prior to the issuance of New Securities, assuming full conversion of all Preferred Stock and exercise of any option or warrant held by the Significant Holder, to the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of New Securities, assuming full conversion of all Preferred Stock and exercise of all outstanding convertible securities, rights, options and warrants to acquire Common Stock of the Company. Each Significant Holder shall have a right of over-allotment such that if any Significant Holder fails to exercise its right hereunder to purchase its pro rata share of New Securities, the other Significant Holders may purchase the non-purchasing Significant Holders portion on a pro rata basis within ten (10) days from the date that the non-purchasing Significant Holder fails to exercise its right hereunder to purchase its pro rata share of New Securities. This right of first refusal shall be subject to the following provisions:
(a) New Securities means any capital stock (including Common Stock and/or Preferred Stock) of the Company whether now authorized or not, and rights, options or warrants to purchase that capital stock, and securities of any type whatsoever that are, or may become, convertible into capital stock; provided that the term New Securities does not include:
(i) securities purchased under the Series F Agreement;
(ii) shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon conversion of shares of Preferred Stock;
(iii) shares of Common Stock and options, warrants or other securities issued or issuable to officers, directors and employees of, or consultants to, the Company pursuant to option plans, purchase plans or other employee stock incentive programs or arrangements approved by the Board of Directors of the Company (including at least one Preferred Director);
(iv) securities issued upon the exercise or conversion of options or convertible securities of the Company outstanding as of the date of this Agreement;
19
(v) securities issued or issuable as a dividend or distribution on Preferred Stock or pursuant to any event for which adjustment is made pursuant to paragraph 4(e), 4(f) or 4(g) of the Restated Articles;
(vi) shares of Common Stock issued in a registered public offering under the Securities Act pursuant to which all outstanding shares of Preferred Stock are automatically converted into Common Stock pursuant to an Automatic Conversion Event (as defined in the Restated Articles);
(vii) securities issued (for consideration other than cash) pursuant to the bona fide acquisition of another corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other business entity by the Company by merger, purchase of substantially all of the assets or other reorganization provided, that issuances are approved by the Board of Directors of the Company (including at least one Preferred Director);
(viii) securities issued or issuable to banks, equipment lessors or other similar financial institutions pursuant to a debt financing or commercial leasing transaction, in each case so long as such issuance (A) is approved by the Board of Directors of the Company (including at least one Preferred Director) and (B) is for other than primarily equity financing purposes;
(ix) securities issued or issuable in connection with collaboration, joint venture, development or other similar strategic partnerships approved by the Board of Directors of the Company (including at least one Preferred Director); and
(x) securities issued or issuable to real property lessors or landlords so long as such issuance is approved by the Board of Directors of the Company (including at least one Preferred Director).
(b) If the Company proposes to undertake an issuance of New Securities, it shall give each Significant Holder written notice of its intention, describing the type of New Securities, and their price and the general terms upon which the Company proposes to issue the same. Each Significant Holder shall have twenty (20) calendar days after the notice is mailed or delivered to agree to purchase the Holders pro rata share of the New Securities for the price and upon the terms specified in the notice by giving written notice to the Company and stating therein the quantity of New Securities to be purchased.
(c) If the Holders fail to exercise fully the right of first refusal within the twenty (20) calendar day period and after the expiration of the additional ten (10) day period for the exercise of the over-allotment provisions of this Section 3.1, the Company shall have ninety (90) days thereafter to sell or enter into an agreement (pursuant to which the sale of New Securities covered thereby shall be closed, if at all, within ninety (90) days from the date of that agreement) to sell the New Securities respecting which the Significant Holders right of first refusal option set forth in this Section 3.1 was not exercised, at a price and upon terms no more favorable to the purchasers than specified in
20
the Companys notice to Significant Holders pursuant to Section 3.1(b). If the Company has not sold the New Securities in accordance with the foregoing, the Company shall not thereafter issue or sell any New Securities, without first again offering the securities to the Significant Holders in the manner provided in Section 3.1(b).
(d) The right of first refusal granted under this Agreement shall expire immediately prior to and upon the earlier to occur of (i) the closing of an IPO, (ii) when the Company first becomes subject to the periodic reporting requirements of Sections 12(g) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, or (iii) an acquisition, merger or consolidation of the Company in which the shareholders of the Company as of immediately prior to such transaction do not hold, solely as a result of such holders shareholdings of the Company, more than 50% of the outstanding voting stock of the Company (or the surviving or acquiring entity) as of immediately after such transaction.
(e) With respect to any particular issuance, the rights provided in this Section 3 may only be exercised by parties that are Significant Investors at the time of such issuance; provided, however, that a Significant Investor that is a venture capital fund may, with respect to a particular issuance by the Company, assign or transfer such rights to an affiliated venture capital fund (and in the case of Fidelity, any Fidelity Entity) in order to allow such affiliated fund to participate in such issuance in place of such Significant Investor. The rights provided in this Section 3 may be assigned (but only with all related obligations) by a Significant Investor to a transferee or assignee of such securities that, after such assignment or transfer, qualifies as a Significant Investor; provided that (i) the Company is, within a reasonable time after such transfer, furnished with written notice of the name and address of such transferee or assignee and the securities with respect to which such registration rights are being assigned; and (ii) such transferee or assignee agrees in writing to be bound by and subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 3.
3.2 Waiver. In the event a Significant Holder waives its rights to participate with respect to a particular issuance of New Securities (Waiving Significant Holder), such Waiving Significant Holder may not purchase any of the New Securities offered by the Company in such particular issuance of New Securities unless the portion of the New Securities from the particular instance offered to the Waiving Significant Holder is offered to all Significant Holders on a pro rata basis pursuant to the rights of first refusal on New Securities set forth in Section 3.1.
21
SECTION 4
DRAG-ALONG RIGHT
4.1 Drag-Along Right. In the event that a majority of the Board of Directors of the Company approves a transaction or a series of related transactions (Sale of the Company) that qualifies as a Liquidation Event pursuant to Article IV Section 3(e) of the Restated Articles, then upon the written request of the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock (voting together as a single class on an as-converted basis), each Investor hereby agrees, with respect to all Shares that he, she or it holds and any other Company securities over which he, she or it otherwise exercises dispositive or voting power:
(A) in the event such transaction requires the approval of stockholders, (a) if the matter is to be brought to a vote at a stockholder meeting, after receiving proper notice of any meeting of stockholders of the Company to vote on the approval of a Sale of the Company, to be present, in person or by proxy, as a holder of Shares, at all such meetings and be counted for the purposes of determining the presence of a quorum at such meetings; and (b) to vote (in person, by proxy or by action by written consent, as applicable) all Shares in favor of such Sale of the Company and in opposition of any and all other proposals that could reasonably be expected to delay or impair the ability of the Company to consummate such Sale of the Company;
(B) in the event that the Sale of the Company is to be effected by the sale of Shares without the need for stockholder approval, each Investor agrees to sell all shares of capital stock of the Company beneficially held by such Investor (or in the event that the Selling Stockholders are selling fewer than all of their shares of capital stock of the Company, shares in the same proportion as the Selling Stockholders are selling) to the person to whom the Selling Stockholders propose to sell their shares, and on the same terms and conditions as the Selling Stockholders;
(C) to refrain from exercising any dissenters rights or rights of appraisal under applicable law at any time with respect to such Sale of the Company;
(D) to execute and deliver all related documentation and take such other action in support of the Sale of the Company as shall reasonably be requested by the Company; and
(E) not to deposit, and to cause their affiliates not to deposit, except as provided in this Agreement, any voting securities owned by such party or affiliate in a voting trust or subject any such voting securities to any arrangement or agreement with respect to the voting of such shares of capital stock, unless specifically requested to do so by the Company or the acquiror in connection with a Sale of the Company.
22
Notwithstanding the forgoing, an Investor will not be required to comply with Section 4.1 above in connection with any proposed Sale of the Company (the Proposed Sale) unless the aggregate consideration receivable by all holders of the Preferred Stock and Common Stock shall be allocated among the holders of Preferred Stock and Common Stock on the basis of the relative liquidation preferences to which the holders of each respective series of Preferred Stock and the holders of Common Stock are entitled in a Liquidation Event in accordance with the Companys Restated Articles in effect immediately prior to the Proposed Sale. The foregoing notwithstanding, nothing in this Section 4.1 shall require Investors holding shares of Series E Preferred Stock and/or Series F Preferred Stock to consent or agree to the conversion of such shares of Series E Preferred Stock and/or Series F Preferred Stock into Common Stock in connection with or in anticipation of a Proposed Sale absent the affirmative election of holders of a majority of the Series E Preferred Stock or Series F Preferred, as applicable, then outstanding.

5.13 Further Assurances. Each party hereto agrees to execute and deliver, by the proper exercise of its corporate, limited liability company, partnership or other powers, all other and additional instruments and documents and do all other acts and things as may be necessary to more fully effectuate this Agreement.

Company shall not be required to comply with any information rights of Section 2 in respect of any Holder whom the Company reasonably determines to be a competitor or an officer, employee, director or holder of more than ten percent (10%) of the equity or voting power of a competitor. Each Holder acknowledges that the information received by it pursuant to this Agreement may be confidential and for its use only, and it will not use the confidential information in violation of the Exchange Act or reproduce, disclose or disseminate the information to any other person (other than its employees, advisory clients holding shares of Registrable Securities or agents having a need to know the contents of the information, and its attorneys), except in connection with the exercise of rights under this Agreement, except to the extent such information (x) may be made publicly available by the Company or otherwise becomes publicly available (other than through unauthorized disclosure by the Holder), (y) is shown by written record to have been in the possession of or known to the Holder prior to its receipt by the Holder hereunder, or (z) is made available without restriction to the Holder by any person other than the Company without breach of any obligation of confidentiality of such other person, and except if required in connection with a judicial, legislative or administrative investigation or proceeding or to a government or other regulatory agency. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, to the extent any Holder is party to a separate nondisclosure agreement between the Company and such Holder the provisions of such separate nondisclosure agreement will govern.
5.15 Aggregation of Stock. All shares of Registrable Securities held or acquired by a Holder and its affiliated entities (and in the case of Fidelity, by all Fidelity Entities) or acquired by a Holder who is under common management by a registered investment adviser shall be aggregated together for the purpose of determining the availability of any rights under Section 1 of this Agreement and for purposes of determining a Significant Holder. For purposes of the foregoing, any shares of Registrable Securities held by a Holder that (X) is a partnership, limited liability company or corporation shall be deemed to include shares held by (i) entities affiliated with such partnership, limited liability company or corporation, (ii) any partner (or retired partner), member (or retired member) or stockholder of such partnership, limited liability company or corporation, (iii) the spouse, siblings, lineal descendants or ancestors of any such partner (or retired partner), member (or retired member) or stockholder, (iv) the estate of any such partner (or retired partner), member (or retired member) or stockholder and (v) any custodian or trustee for the benefit of any such partner (or retired partner), member (or retired member) or stockholder or the spouse, siblings, lineal descendants or ancestors of any such partner (or retired partner), member (or retired member) or stockholder and (Y) is an individual shall be deemed to include shares held by (i) the estate of such individual or (ii) the spouse, siblings, lineal descendants or ancestors of such individual and any custodian or trustee for the benefit of any of the foregoing persons.

WARRANT TO PURCHASE STOCK
Company: | XOOM CORPORATION, a California corporation | |
Number of Shares: | As set forth below | |
Class: | Common | |
Warrant Price: | $0.05 per share, subject to adjustment | |
Issue Date: | October 29, 2004 | |
Expiration Date: | October 29, 2011 |
THIS WARRANT CERTIFIES THAT, for the agreed upon value of $1.00 and for other good and valuable consideration, including without limitation the mutual promises contained in that certain Loan and Security Agreement of even date herewith entered into by and among Gold Hill Venture Lending 03, LP, Silicon Valley Bank, and Xoom Corporation (the Loan Agreement), SILICON VALLEY BANK (Holder) is entitled to purchase the number of fully paid and nonassessable Shares of the company named above (the Company) at the Warrant Price, all as set forth above and as adjusted pursuant to Article 2 of this Warrant, subject to the provisions and upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Warrant. This Warrant is issued in connection with the Loan Agreement.
As used herein:
Shares means the Initial Shares plus the Additional Shares, if any.
Initial Shares means Forty-Three Thousand One Hundred Fourteen (43,114) shares of the Class.
Additional Shares means a cumulative, aggregate number of additional shares of the Class equal to (i) 1.6% of each Advance (as defined in the Loan Agreement made to the Company pursuant to the Loan Agreement, divided by (ii) 0.46388. This Warrant shall become exercisable for the Additional Shares, if at all, only upon the making by the Lenders (as defined in the Loan Agreement) of an Advance (as defined in the Loan Agreement).
ARTICLE 1. EXERCISE.
1.1 Method of Exercise. Holder may exercise this Warrant by delivering a duly executed Notice of Exercise in substantially the form attached as Appendix 1 to the principal office of the Company. Unless Holder is exercising the conversion right set forth in Article 1.2, Holder shall also deliver to the Company a check, wire transfer (to an account designated by the Company), or other form of payment acceptable to the Company for the aggregate Warrant Price for the Shares being purchased.
1.2 Conversion Right. In lieu of exercising this Warrant as specified in Article 1.1, Holder may from time to time convert this Warrant, in whole or in part, into a number of Shares determined by dividing (a) the aggregate fair market value of the Shares or other securities otherwise issuable upon exercise of this Warrant minus the aggregate Warrant Price of such Shares by (b) the fair market value of one Share. The fair market value of the Shares shall be determined pursuant to Article 1.3.
1.3 Fair Market Value. If the Companys common stock is traded in a public market and the Shares are common stock, the fair market value of each Share shall be the closing price of a Share reported for the business day immediately before Holder delivers its Notice of Exercise to the Company (or in the instance where the Warrant is exercised immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Companys initial public offering, the price to public per share price specified in the final prospectus relating to such offering). If the Companys common stock is traded in a public market and the Shares are preferred stock, the fair market value of a Share shall be the closing price of a share of the Companys common stock reported for the business day immediately before Holder delivers its Notice of Exercise to the Company (or, in the instance where the Warrant is exercised immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Companys initial public offering, the initial price to public per share price specified in the final prospectus relating to such offering), in both cases, multiplied by the number of shares of the Companys common stock into which a Share is then convertible. If the Companys common stock is not traded in a public market, the Board of Directors of the Company shall determine fair market value in its reasonable good faith judgment.
1.4 Delivery of Certificate and New Warrant. Promptly after Holder exercises or converts this Warrant, but in any event within ten (10) days of such exercise or conversion, and, if applicable, the Company receives payment of the aggregate Warrant Price, the Company shall deliver to Holder certificates for the Shares acquired and, if this Warrant has not been fully exercised or converted and has not expired, a new Warrant representing the Shares not so acquired.
1.5 Replacement of Warrants. On receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, on delivery of an indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory in form and amount to the Company or, in the case of mutilation, or surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company shall, at its expense, execute and deliver, in lieu of this Warrant, a new warrant of like tenor.

1.6 Treatment of Warrant Upon Acquisition of Company.
1.6.1 Acquisition. For the purpose of this Warrant, Acquisition means any sale, license, or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or any reorganization, consolidation, or merger of the Company where the holders of the Companys securities before the transaction beneficially own less than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of the surviving entity after the transaction.
1.6.2 Treatment of Warrant at Acquisition.
(a) Upon the written request of the Company, Holder agrees that, in the event of an Acquisition in which the sole consideration is cash, either (a) Holder shall exercise its conversion or purchase right under this Warrant and such exercise will be deemed effective immediately prior to the consummation of such Acquisition or (b) if Holder elects not to exercise the Warrant, this Warrant will expire upon the consummation of such Acquisition. The Company shall provide the Holder with written notice of its request relating to the foregoing (together with such reasonable information as the Holder may request in connection with such contemplated Acquisition giving rise to such notice), which is to be delivered to Holder not less than ten (10) days prior to the closing of the proposed Acquisition.
(b) Upon the written request of the Company, Holder agrees that, in the event of an Acquisition that is an arms length sale of all or substantially all of the Companys assets (and only its assets) to a third party that is not an Affiliate (as defined below) of the Company (a True Asset Sale), either (a) Holder shall exercise its conversion or purchase right under this Warrant and such exercise will be deemed effective immediately prior to the consummation of such Acquisition or (b) if Holder elects not to exercise the Warrant, this Warrant will continue until the Expiration Date if the Company continues as a going concern following the closing of any such True Asset Sale. The Company shall provide the Holder with written notice of its request relating to the foregoing (together with such reasonable information as the Holder may request in connection with such contemplated Acquisition giving rise to such notice), which is to be delivered to Holder not less than ten (10) days prior to the closing of the proposed Acquisition.
(c) Upon the closing of any Acquisition other than those particularly described in subsections (a) and (b) above, the successor entity shall assume the obligations of this Warrant, and this Warrant shall be exercisable for the same securities, cash, and property as would be payable for the Shares issuable upon exercise of the unexercised portion of this Warrant as if such Shares were outstanding on the record date for the Acquisition and subsequent closing. The Warrant Price and/or number of Shares shall be adjusted accordingly.
As used herein Affiliate shall mean any person or entity that owns or controls directly or indirectly ten (10) percent or more of the stock of Company, any person or entity that controls or is controlled by or is under common control with such persons or entities, and each of such persons or entitys officers, directors, joint venturers or partners, as applicable.

ARTICLE 2. ADJUSTMENTS TO THE SHARES.
2.1 Stock Dividends, Splits, Etc. If the Company declares or pays a dividend on the Shares payable in common stock, or other securities, then upon exercise of this Warrant, for each Share acquired, Holder shall receive, without cost to Holder, the total number and kind of securities to which Holder would have been entitled had Holder owned the Shares of record as of the date the dividend occurred. If the Company subdivides the Shares by reclassification or otherwise into a greater number of shares or takes any other action which increases the amount of stock into which the Shares are convertible, the number of shares purchasable hereunder shall be proportionately increased and the Warrant Price shall be proportionately decreased. If the outstanding shares are combined or consolidated, by reclassification or otherwise, into a lesser number of shares, the Warrant Price shall be proportionately increased and the number of Shares shall be proportionately decreased.
2.2 Reclassification, Exchange, Combinations or Substitution. Upon any reclassification, exchange, substitution, or other event that results in a change of the number and/or class of the securities issuable upon exercise or conversion of this Warrant, Holder shall be entitled to receive, upon exercise or conversion of this Warrant, the number and kind of securities and property that Holder would have received for the Shares if this Warrant had been exercised immediately before such reclassification, exchange, substitution, or other event. Such an event shall include any automatic conversion of the outstanding or issuable securities of the Company of the same class or series as the Shares to common stock pursuant to the terms of the Companys Articles of Incorporation upon the closing of a registered public offering of the Companys common stock. The Company or its successor shall promptly issue to Holder an amendment to this Warrant setting forth the number and kind of such new securities or other property issuable upon exercise or conversion of this Warrant as a result of such reclassification, exchange, substitution or other event that results in a change of the number and/or class of securities issuable upon exercise or conversion of this Warrant. The amendment to this Warrant shall provide for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Article 2 including, without limitation, adjustments to the Warrant Price and to the number of securities or property issuable upon exercise of the new Warrant. The provisions of this Article 2.2 shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, exchanges, substitutions, or other events.
2.3 Adjustments for Diluting Issuances. The Warrant Price and the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant or, if the Shares are Preferred Stock, the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Shares, shall be subject to adjustment, from time to time in the manner set forth in the Companys Articles of Incorporation as if the Shares were issued and outstanding on and as of the date of any such required adjustment. The provisions set forth for the Shares in the Companys Articles or Certificate (as applicable) of Incorporation relating to the above in effect as of the Issue Date may not be amended, modified or waived, without the prior written consent of Holder unless such amendment, modification or waiver affects the rights associated with the Shares in the same manner as such amendment, modification or waiver affects the rights associated with all other shares of the same series and class as the Shares granted to the Holder.
4
2.4 No Impairment. The Company shall not, by amendment of its Articles or Certificate (as applicable) of Incorporation or through a reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue, or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed under this Warrant by the Company, but shall at all times in good faith assist in carrying out of all the provisions of this Article 2 and in taking all such action as may be necessary or appropriate to protect Holders rights under this Article against impairment.
2.5 Fractional Shares. No fractional Shares shall be issuable upon exercise or conversion of the Warrant and the number of Shares to be issued shall be rounded down to the nearest whole Share. If a fractional share interest arises upon any exercise or conversion of the Warrant, the Company shall eliminate such fractional share interest by paying Holder the amount computed by multiplying the fractional interest by the fair market value of a full Share.
2.6 Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon each adjustment of the Warrant Price, the Company shall promptly notify Holder in writing, and, at the Companys expense, promptly compute such adjustment, and furnish Holder with a certificate of its Chief Financial Officer setting forth such adjustment and the facts upon which such adjustment is based. The Company shall, upon written request, furnish Holder a certificate setting forth the Warrant Price in effect upon the date thereof and the series of adjustments leading to such Warrant Price.

WARRANT TO PURCHASE STOCK
Company: | XOOM CORPORATION, a California corporation | |||
Number of Shares: | 100,000 | |||

Warrant Price: | $1.71 per share | |||
Issue Date: | April 30, 2012 | |||
Expiration Date: | April 30, 2022. See also Section 5.1(b). | |||
Credit Facility: | This Warrant to Purchase Stock (Warrant) is issued in connection with that certain Fourth Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement of even date herewith between Silicon Valley Bank and the Company, which amends that certain Loan and Security Agreement dated October 8, 2009 between Silicon Valley Bank and the Company (as the same may from time to time be amended, modified, supplemented or restated, the Loan Agreement). |
THIS WARRANT CERTIFIES THAT, for good and valuable consideration, SILICON VALLEY BANK (together with any successor or permitted assignee or transferee of this Warrant or of any shares issued upon exercise hereof, Holder) is entitled to purchase the number of fully paid and non-assessable shares (the Shares) of the above-stated Type/Series of Stock (the Class) of the above-named company (the Company) at the above-stated Warrant Price, all as set forth above and as adjusted pursuant to Section 2 of this Warrant, subject to the provisions and upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Warrant. Reference is made to Section 5.4 of this Warrant whereby Silicon Valley Bank shall transfer this Warrant to its parent company, SVB Financial Group.
Section 1. EXERCISE.
1.1 Method of Exercise. Holder may at any time and from time to time exercise this Warrant, in whole or in part, by delivering to the Company the original of this Warrant together with a duly executed Notice of Exercise in substantially the form attached hereto as Appendix 1 and, unless Holder is exercising this Warrant pursuant to a cashless
exercise set forth in Section 1.2, a check, wire transfer of same-day funds (to an account designated by the Company), or other form of payment acceptable to the Company for the aggregate Warrant Price for the Shares being purchased.
1.2 Cashless Exercise. On any exercise of this Warrant, in lieu of payment of the aggregate Warrant Price in the manner as specified in Section 1.1 above, but otherwise in accordance with the requirements of Section 1.1, Holder may elect to receive Shares equal to the value of this Warrant, or portion hereof as to which this Warrant is being exercised. Thereupon, the Company shall issue to the Holder such number of fully paid and non-assessable Shares as are computed using the following formula;
X = Y(A-B)/A
where:
X = | the number of Shares to be issued to the Holder; | |
Y = | the number of Shares with respect to which this Warrant is being exercised (inclusive of the Shares surrendered to the Company in payment of the aggregate Warrant Price); | |
A= | the Fair Market Value (as determined pursuant to Section 1.3 below) of one Share; and | |
B = | the Warrant Price. |
1.3 Fair Market Value. If the Companys common stock is then traded or quoted on a nationally recognized securities exchange, inter-dealer quotation system or over-the-counter market (a Trading Market) and the Class is common stock, the fair market value of a Share shall be the closing price or last sale price of a share of common stock reported for the Business Day immediately before the date on which Holder delivers this Warrant together with its Notice of Exercise to the Company. If the Companys common stock is then traded in a Trading Market and the Class is a series of the Companys convertible preferred stock, the fair market value of a Share shall be the closing price or last sale price of a share of the Companys common stock reported for the Business Day immediately before the date on which Holder delivers this Warrant together with its Notice of Exercise to the Company multiplied by the number of shares of the Companys common stock into which a Share is then convertible. If the Companys common stock is not traded in a Trading Market, the Board of Directors of the Company shall determine the fair market value of a Share in its reasonable good faith judgment.
1.4 Delivery of Certificate and New Warrant. Within a reasonable time after Holder exercises this Warrant in the manner set forth in Section 1.1 or 1.2 above, the Company shall deliver to Holder a certificate representing the Shares issued to Holder upon such exercise and, if this Warrant has not been fully exercised and has not expired, a new warrant of like tenor representing the Shares not so acquired,

(b) Treatment of Warrant at Acquisition. In the event of an Acquisition in which the consideration to be received by the Companys stockholders consists solely of cash, solely of Marketable Securities or a combination of cash and Marketable Securities (a Cash/Public Acquisition), either (i) Holder shall exercise this Warrant pursuant to Section 1.1 and/or 1.2 and such exercise will be deemed effective immediately prior to and contingent upon the consummation of such Acquisition or (ii) if Holder elects not to exercise the Warrant, this Warrant will expire immediately prior to the consummation of such Acquisition.

The Holder shall provide Company with notice of whether it is exercising this Warrant not less than two (2) Business Days prior to closing of the proposed Cash/Public Acquisition. In the event the Company does not provide such notice, then if, immediately prior to the Cash/Public Acquisition, the fair market value of one Share (or other security issuable upon the exercise hereof) as determined in accordance with Section 1.3 above would be greater than the Warrant Price in effect on such date, then this Warrant shall automatically be deemed on and as of such date to be exercised pursuant to Section 1.2 above as to all Shares (or such other securities) for which it shall not previously have been exercised, and the Company shall promptly notify the Holder of the number of Shares (or such other securities) issued upon such exercise to the Holder and Holder shall be deemed to have restated each of the representations and warranties in Section 4 of the Warrant as the date thereof.
(d) Upon the closing of any Acquisition other than a Cash/Public Acquisition defined above, the acquiring, surviving or successor entity shall assume the obligations of this Warrant, and this Warrant shall thereafter be exercisable for the same
3
securities and/or other property as would have been paid for the Shares issuable upon exercise of the unexercised portion of this Warrant as if such Shares were outstanding on and as of the closing of such Acquisition, subject to further adjustment from time to time in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant.
(e) As used in this Warrant, Marketable Securities means securities meeting ah of the following requirements: (i) the issuer thereof is then subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), and is then current in its filing of all required reports and other information under the Act and the Exchange Act; (ii) the class and series of shares or other security of the issuer that would be received by Holder in connection with the Acquisition were Holder to exercise this Warrant on or prior to the closing thereof is then traded in Trading Market, and (iii) Holder would be able to publicly re-sell, within six (6) months following the closing of such Acquisition, all of the issuers shares and/or other securities that would be received by Holder in such Acquisition were Holder to exercise this Warrant in full on or prior to the closing of such Acquisition.

If the Company subdivides the outstanding shares of the Class by reclassification or otherwise into a greater number of shares, the number of Shares purchasable hereunder shall be proportionately increased and the Warrant Price shall be proportionately decreased. If the outstanding shares of the Class are combined or consolidated, by reclassification or otherwise, into a lesser number of shares, the Warrant Price shall be proportionately increased and the number of Shares shall be proportionately decreased.

The Plan shall be administered by the Board, or at the discretion of the Board, by a committee of the Board, comprised, except as contemplated by Section 2(c), of not less than two Directors. All references herein to the Committee shall be deemed to refer to the group then responsible for administration of the Plan at the relevant time (i.e., either the Board of Directors or a committee or committees of the Board, as applicable).
(b) Powers of Committee. The Committee shall have the power and authority to grant Awards consistent with the terms of the Plan, including the power and authority:
(i) to select the individuals to whom Awards may from time to time be granted;

(iii) to determine the number of shares of Stock to be covered by any Award and, subject to the provisions of Section 5(a)(i) below, the price, exercise price, conversion ratio or other price relating thereto;
5
(iv) to determine and, subject to Section 13, to modify from time to time the terms and conditions, including restrictions, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, of any Award, which terms and conditions may differ among individual Awards and grantees, and to approve the form of Award Agreements;
(v) to accelerate at any time the exercisability or vesting of all or any portion of any Award;
(vi) to impose any limitations on Awards granted under the Plan, including limitations on transfers, repurchase provisions and the like, and to exercise repurchase rights or obligations;
(vii) subject to any restrictions imposed by Section 409A, to extend at any time the period in which Stock Options may be exercised; and
(viii) at any time to adopt, alter and repeal such rules, guidelines and practices for administration of the Plan and for its own acts and proceedings as it shall deem advisable; to interpret the terms and provisions of the Plan and any Award (including related written instruments); to make all determinations it deems advisable for the administration of the Plan; to decide all disputes arising in connection with the Plan; and to otherwise supervise the administration of the Plan.
All decisions and interpretations of the Committee shall be binding on all persons, including the Company and Plan grantees.
(c) Award Agreement. Awards under the Plan shall be evidenced by Award Agreements that set forth the terms, conditions and limitations for each Award and may include, without limitation, the term of an Award, the provisions applicable in the event the Service Relationship terminates, and the Companys authority to unilaterally or bilaterally amend, modify, suspend, cancel or rescind an Award. To the extent permitted by the Committee, Award Agreements may be executed electronically by the Award recipient.
(d) Indemnification. Neither the Board nor the Committee, nor any member of either or any delegate thereof, shall be liable for any act, omission, interpretation, construction or determination made in good faith in connection with the Plan, and the members of the Board and the Committee (and any delegate thereof) shall be entitled in all cases to indemnification and reimbursement by the Company in respect of any claim, loss, damage or expense (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys fees) arising or resulting therefrom to the fullest extent permitted by law and/or under the Companys governing documents, including its certificate of incorporation or bylaws, or any directors and officers liability insurance coverage which may be in effect from time to time and/or any indemnification agreement between such individual and the Company.
(e) Foreign Award Recipients. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, in order to comply with the laws in other countries in which the Company and any Subsidiary operate or have employees or other individuals eligible for Awards, the Committee, in its sole discretion, shall have the power and authority to: (i) determine which Subsidiaries, if any, shall be covered by the Plan; (ii) determine which individuals, if any, outside the United
6
States are eligible to participate in the Plan; (iii) modify the terms and conditions of any Award granted to individuals outside the United States to comply with applicable foreign laws; (iv) establish subplans and modify exercise procedures and other terms and procedures, to the extent the Committee determines such actions to be necessary or advisable (and such subplans and/or modifications shall be attached to the Plan as appendices); provided, however, that no such subplans and/or modifications shall increase the share limitation contained in Section 3(a) hereof; and (v) take any action, before or after an Award is made, that the Committee determines to be necessary or advisable to obtain approval or comply with any local governmental regulatory exemptions or approvals. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may not take any actions hereunder, and no Awards shall be granted, that would violate the Exchange Act or any other applicable United States securities law, the Code, or any other applicable United States governing statute or law.
SECTION 3. | STOCK ISSUABLE UNDER THE PLAN; MERGERS AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS; SUBSTITUTION |
(a) Stock Issuable. The maximum number of shares of Stock reserved and available for issuance under the Plan shall be 32,750,000 shares, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 3(b). For purposes of this limitation, the shares of Stock underlying any Awards that are forfeited, canceled, withheld upon exercise of an Option or settlement of an Award to cover the exercise price or tax withholding, reacquired by the Company prior to vesting, satisfied without the issuance of Stock or otherwise terminated (other than by exercise), in each case shall be added back to the shares of Stock available for issuance under the Plan. Subject to such overall limitations, shares of Stock may be issued up to such maximum number pursuant to any type or types of Award. The shares available for issuance under the Plan may be authorized but unissued shares of Stock or shares of Stock reacquired by the Company. No more than 32,750,000 shares shall be issued in the form of Incentive Stock Options, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 3(b). Beginning on the date that the Company becomes subject to Section 162(m) of the Code, no more than 32,750,000 Options shall be granted to any one individual in any calendar year period.
(b) Changes in Stock. Subject to Section 3(c) hereof, if, as a result of any reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or other similar change in the Companys capital stock, the outstanding shares of Stock are increased or decreased or are exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or other securities of the Company, or additional shares or new or different shares or other securities of the Company or other non-cash assets are distributed with respect to such shares of Stock or other securities, or, if, as a result of any merger or consolidation, or sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, the outstanding shares of Stock are converted into or exchanged for securities of the Company or any successor entity (or a parent or subsidiary thereof), the Committee shall make an appropriate and equitable or proportionate adjustment in (i) the maximum number of shares reserved for issuance under the Plan, (ii) the number and kind of shares or other securities subject to any then outstanding Awards under the Plan, (iii) the repurchase price, if any, per share subject to each outstanding Award, and (iv) the exercise price for each share subject to any then outstanding Stock Options under the Plan, without changing the aggregate exercise price (i.e., the exercise price multiplied by the number of Stock Options) as to which such Stock Options remain exercisable. The Committee shall also make equitable or
7
proportionate adjustments in the number of shares subject to outstanding Awards and the exercise price and the terms of outstanding Awards to take into consideration cash dividends paid other than in the ordinary course or any other extraordinary corporate event. The adjustment by the Committee shall be final, binding and conclusive. No fractional shares of Stock shall be issued under the Plan resulting from any such adjustment, but the Committee in its discretion may make a cash payment in lieu of fractional shares.
(c) Sale Events.
(i) Options.
(A) In the case of and subject to the consummation of a Sale Event, the Plan and all Options issued hereunder shall terminate upon the effective time of any such Sale Event unless provision is made in connection with the Sale Event for the assumption or continuation of Options theretofore granted by the successor entity, or the substitution of such Options with new Options of the successor entity or parent thereof, with an equitable or proportionate adjustment as to the number and kind of shares and, if appropriate, the per share exercise prices, as such parties shall agree (after taking into account any acceleration hereunder and/or pursuant to the terms of any Award Agreement).
(B) In the event of the termination of the Plan and all Options issued hereunder pursuant to Section 3(c), except as the Committee may otherwise specify with respect to particular Options in the relevant Award Agreement, all Options that are not exercisable immediately prior to the effective time of the Sale Event shall become fully exercisable as of the consummation of the Sale Event. In addition, each Holder of Options shall be permitted, within a specified period of time prior to the consummation of the Sale Event as determined by the Committee, to exercise all such Options which are then exercisable or will become exercisable as of the effective time of the Sale Event; provided, however, that the exercise of Options not exercisable prior to the Sale Event shall be subject to the consummation of the Sale Event.
(C) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 3(c)(i)(A), in the event of a Sale Event, the Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to make or provide for a cash payment to the grantees holding Options in exchange for the cancellation thereof, in an amount equal to the difference between (A) the value as determined by the Committee of the consideration payable per share of Stock pursuant to the Sale Event (the Sale Price) times the number of shares of Stock subject to outstanding Options (to the extent then vested exercisable, including by reason of acceleration in connection with such Sale Event, at prices not in excess of the Sale Price) and (B) the aggregate exercise price of all such outstanding vested Options.
(ii) Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Unit Awards.
(A) In the case of and subject to the consummation of a Sale Event, all Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Unit Awards issued hereunder shall be assumed or continued by the successor entity, or substituted with new Awards of the successor entity
8
or parent thereof, with an equitable or proportionate adjustment as to the number and kind of shares subject to such Awards as such parties shall agree (after taking into account any acceleration hereunder and/or pursuant to the terms of any Award Agreement).
(B) To the extent that that Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Unit Awards issued hereunder are not assumed, continued or substituted pursuant to Section 3(c)(ii)(A), except as the Committee may otherwise specify with respect to particular Awards in the relevant Award Agreement, all such Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Unit Awards shall become fully vested and nonforfeitable as of the consummation of the Sale Event.
(C) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 3(c)(ii)(A), in the event of a Sale Event, the Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to make or provide for a cash payment to the grantees holding Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Unit Awards in exchange for the cancellation thereof, in an amount equal to the Sale Price times the number of shares of Stock subject to such Awards, to be paid at the time of such Sale Event or upon the later vesting of such Awards.
(iii) Unrestricted Stock Awards. Unless otherwise provided in an Award Agreement, any shares of Unrestricted Stock shall be treated in a Sale Event the same as all other Shares then outstanding.
SECTION 4. | ELIGIBILITY |
Grantees under the Plan will be such full or part-time officers and other employees, directors, Consultants and key persons (including prospective employees, but conditioned on their employment) of the Company and any Subsidiary who are selected from time to time by the Committee in its sole discretion; provided, however, that an Incentive Stock Option may be granted only to a person who, at the time the Incentive Stock Option is granted, is an employee of the Company or any Subsidiary.
SECTION 5. | STOCK OPTIONS |
The grant of a Stock Option is contingent on the grantee executing a Stock Option Award Agreement. The terms and conditions of each such Stock Option Award Agreement shall be determined by the Committee, and such terms and conditions may differ among individual Awards and grantees, all of whom must be eligible persons under Section 4 hereof.
Stock Options granted under the Plan may be either Incentive Stock Options or Non-Qualified Stock Options. Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to employees of the Company or any Subsidiary that is a subsidiary corporation within the meaning of Section 424(f) of the Code. To the extent that any Option does not qualify as an Incentive Stock Option, it shall be deemed a Non-Qualified Stock Option.
No Incentive Stock Option shall be granted under the Plan after the date which is ten years from the date the Plan is approved by the Board.
9
(a) Terms of Stock Options. The Committee in its discretion may grant Stock Options to eligible officers, employees, directors, Consultants and key persons of the Company or any Subsidiary. Stock Options granted pursuant to this Section 5(a) shall be subject to the following terms and conditions and shall contain such additional terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, as the Committee shall deem desirable. If the Committee so determines, Stock Options may be granted in lieu of cash compensation at the optionees election, subject to such terms and conditions as the Committee may establish.
(i) Exercise Price. The exercise price per share for the Stock covered by a Stock Option granted pursuant to Section 5(a) shall be determined by the Committee at the time of grant but shall not be less than 100 percent of the Fair Market Value on the Grant Date. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option that is granted to a Ten Percent Owner, the option price of such Incentive Stock Option shall not be less than 110 percent of the Fair Market Value on the Grant Date.
(ii) Option Term. The term of each Stock Option shall be fixed by the Committee, but no Stock Option shall be exercisable more than ten years after the date the Stock Option is granted. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option that is granted to a Ten Percent Owner, the term of such Stock Option shall be no more than five years from the Grant Date.
(iii) Exercisability; Rights of a Stockholder. Stock Options shall become exercisable and/or vested at such time or times, whether or not in installments, as shall be determined by the Committee at or after the Grant Date. The Award Agreement may permit an optionee to exercise all or a portion of a Stock Option immediately at grant; provided that the Option Shares issued upon such exercise shall be subject to restrictions and a vesting schedule identical to the vesting schedule of the related Stock Option and the optionee shall be required to enter into a Restricted Stock Award Agreement and any other similar documentation required by the Company as a condition to exercise of such Stock Option. An optionee shall have the rights of a stockholder only as to shares acquired upon the exercise of a Stock Option and not as to unexercised Stock Options. An optionee shall not be deemed to have acquired any such shares unless and until a Stock Option shall have been exercised pursuant to the terms hereof and the optionees name shall have been entered on the books of the Company as a stockholder.
(iv) Method of Exercise. Stock Options may be exercised by an optionee in whole or in part, by the optionee giving written notice of exercise to the Company, specifying the number of shares to be purchased. Payment of the purchase price may be made by one or more of the following methods (or any combination thereof) to the extent provided in the Option Award Agreement:
(A) In cash, by certified or bank check, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, or other instrument acceptable to the Committee;
(B) If permitted by the Committee, by the optionee delivering to the Company a promissory note, if the Board has expressly authorized the loan of funds to the optionee for the purpose of enabling or assisting the optionee to effect the exercise of his or her Stock Option; provided, that at least so much of the exercise price as represents the par value of the Stock shall be paid other than with a promissory note if required by state law;
10
(C) If permitted by the Committee and the Initial Public Offering has occurred (or the Stock otherwise becomes publicly-traded), through the delivery (or attestation to the ownership) of shares of Stock that have been purchased by the optionee on the open market or that are beneficially owned by the optionee and are not then subject to restrictions under any Company plan. To the extent required to avoid variable accounting treatment under FAS 123R or other applicable accounting rules, such surrendered shares if originally purchased from the Company shall have been owned by the optionee for at least six months. Such surrendered shares shall be valued at Fair Market Value on the exercise date;
(D) If permitted by the Committee and the Initial Public Offering has occurred (or the Stock otherwise becomes publicly-traded), by the optionee delivering to the Company a properly executed exercise notice together with irrevocable instructions to a broker to promptly deliver to the Company cash or a check payable and acceptable to the Company for the purchase price; provided that in the event the optionee chooses to pay the purchase price as so provided, the optionee and the broker shall comply with such procedures and enter into such agreements of indemnity and other agreements as the Committee shall prescribe as a condition of such payment procedure; and
(E) If permitted by the Committee, with respect to Stock Options that are not Incentive Stock Options, by a net exercise arrangement pursuant to which the Company will reduce the number of shares of Stock issuable upon exercise by the largest whole number of shares with a Fair Market Value that does not exceed the aggregate exercise price.
Payment instruments will be received subject to collection. No certificates for shares of Stock so purchased will be issued to the optionee or, with respect to uncertificated Stock, no transfer to the optionee on the records of the Company will take place, until the Company has completed all steps required by law to be taken in connection with the issuance and sale of the shares, which steps may include, without limitation (i) receipt of a representation from the optionee at the time of exercise of the Option that the optionee is purchasing the shares for the optionees own account and not with a view to any sale or distribution thereof, (ii) the legending of any certificate (or notation on any book entry) representing the shares to evidence the foregoing restrictions, (iii) obtaining from optionee payment or provision for all withholding taxes due as a result of the exercise of the Option, and (iv) if required by the Company, the optionee shall have entered into any stockholders agreement with the Company and/or certain other stockholders of the Company. The delivery of certificates representing the shares of Stock (or the transfer to the optionee on the records of the Company with respect to uncertificated Stock) to be purchased pursuant to the exercise of a Stock Option will be contingent upon receipt from the optionee (or a purchaser acting in his or her stead in accordance with the provisions of the Stock Option) by the Company of the full purchase price for such shares and the fulfillment of any other requirements contained in the Option Award Agreement or applicable provisions of laws. In the event an optionee chooses to pay the purchase price by previously-owned shares of Stock through the attestation method, the number of shares of Stock transferred to the optionee upon the exercise of the Stock Option shall be net of the number of shares attested to.
11
(b) Annual Limit on Incentive Stock Options. To the extent required for incentive stock option treatment under Section 422 of the Code, the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the time of grant) of the shares of Stock with respect to which Incentive Stock Options granted under the Plan and any other plan of the Company or its parent and any Subsidiary that become exercisable for the first time by an optionee during any calendar year shall not exceed $100,000 or such other limit as may be in effect from time to time under Section 422 of the Code. To the extent that any Stock Option exceeds this limit, it shall constitute a Non-Qualified Stock Option.
(c) Termination of Employment. In the event that an optionees employment terminates, such optionee may thereafter exercise his, her or its Stock Option, to the extent that it was vested and exercisable on the date of such termination, until the date specified below. Any portion of the Stock Option that is not exercisable on the date of termination of such employment shall immediately expire and be null and void. Once any portion of the Stock Option becomes vested and exercisable, the optionees right to exercise such portion of the Stock Option (or the optionees representatives and legatees as applicable) in the event of a termination of the optionees employment shall continue until the earliest of: (i) the date which is: (A) twelve months following the date on which the optionees employment terminates due to death or Disability (or such longer period of time as determined by the Committee and set forth in the applicable Option Agreement), or (B) 30 days following the date on which the optionees employment terminates if the termination is due to any other reason (or such longer period of time as determined by the Committee and set forth in the applicable Option Agreement), or (ii) the Expiration Date set forth in the Option Agreement; provided that notwithstanding the foregoing, an Option Agreement may provide that if the optionees employment is terminated for Cause, the Stock Option shall terminate immediately and be null and void upon the date of the optionees termination and shall not thereafter be exercisable.
SECTION 6. | RESTRICTED STOCK AWARDS |
(a) Nature of Restricted Stock Awards. The Committee may, in its sole discretion, grant (or sell at par value or such higher purchase price determined by the Committee) to an eligible person under Section 4 hereof a Restricted Stock Award under the Plan. The Committee shall determine the restrictions and conditions applicable to each Restricted Stock Award at the time of grant. Conditions may be based on continuing employment (or other Service Relationship), achievement of pre-established performance goals and objectives and/or such other criteria as the Committee may determine. The grant of a Restricted Stock Award is contingent on the grantee executing a Restricted Stock Award Agreement. The terms and conditions of each such Award Agreement shall be determined by the Committee, and such terms and conditions may differ among individual Awards and grantees, all of whom must be eligible persons under Section 4 hereof.
(b) Rights as a Stockholder. Upon execution of a Restricted Stock Award Agreement and payment of any applicable purchase price, a grantee of Restricted Stock shall be considered the record owner of and shall be entitled to vote the Shares of Restricted Stock if, and to the extent, such Shares are entitled to voting rights, subject to such conditions contained in the Restricted Stock Award Agreement. The grantee shall be entitled to receive all dividends and any other distributions declared on the Shares; provided, however, that the Company is under no
12
duty to declare any such dividends or to make any such distribution. The Restricted Stock Award Agreement may require or permit the immediate payment, waiver, deferral or investment of dividends paid on the Restricted Stock. Unless the Committee shall otherwise determine, certificates evidencing the Restricted Stock shall remain in the possession of the Company until such Restricted Stock is vested as provided in subsection (d) below of this Section, and the grantee shall be required, as a condition of the grant, to deliver to the Company a stock power endorsed in blank and such other instruments of transfer as the Committee may prescribe.
(c) Restrictions. Restricted Stock may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered or disposed of except as specifically provided herein or in the Restricted Stock Award Agreement. Except as may otherwise be provided by the Committee either in the Award Agreement or, subject to Section 13 below, in writing after the Award Agreement is issued, if any, if a grantees employment (or other Service Relationship) with the Company and any Subsidiary terminates, the Company or its assigns shall have the right, as may be specified in the relevant instrument, to repurchase some or all of the Shares subject to the Award at such purchase price as is set forth in the Restricted Stock Award Agreement.
(d) Vesting of Restricted Stock. The Committee at the time of grant shall specify the date or dates and/or the attainment of pre-established performance goals, objectives and other conditions on which the substantial risk of forfeiture imposed shall lapse and the Restricted Stock shall become vested, subject to such further rights of the Company or its assigns as may be specified in the Restricted Stock Award Agreement.
SECTION 7. | UNRESTRICTED STOCK AWARDS |
(a) Grant or Sale of Unrestricted Stock. The Committee may, in its sole discretion, grant (or sell at par value or such higher purchase price determined by the Committee) to an eligible person under Section 4 hereof an Unrestricted Stock Award under the Plan. Unrestricted Stock Awards may be granted in respect of past services or other valid consideration, or in lieu of cash compensation due to such grantee.
(b) Elections to Receive Unrestricted Stock In Lieu of Compensation. Upon the request of an eligible person under Section 4 hereof and with the consent of the Committee, each such grantee may, pursuant to an advance written election delivered to the Company no later than the date specified by the Committee, receive a portion of any cash compensation otherwise due to such grantee in the form of shares of Unrestricted Stock.
SECTION 8. | RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS |
(a) Nature of Restricted Stock Units. The Committee shall determine the restrictions and conditions applicable to each Restricted Stock Unit at the time of grant. Vesting conditions may be based on continuing employment (or other Service Relationship), achievement of pre-established performance goals and objectives and/or other such criteria as the Committee may determine. The grant of Restricted Stock Unit(s) is contingent on the grantee executing a Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement. The terms and conditions of each such Award Agreement shall be determined by the Committee and may differ among individual Awards and grantees. On or promptly following the vesting date or dates applicable to any Restricted Stock Unit, such Restricted Stock Unit(s), shall be settled in the form of cash or shares of Stock, as specified in the Award Agreement.
13
(b) Rights as a Stockholder. A grantee shall have the rights of a stockholder only as to shares of Stock, if any, acquired upon settlement of a Restricted Stock Unit. A grantee shall not be deemed to have acquired any such shares unless and until a Restricted Stock Unit shall have been settled in Stock pursuant to the terms hereof, the Company shall have issued and delivered a certificate representing the shares to the grantee, and the grantees name shall have been entered in the books of the Company as a stockholder.
(c) Termination. Except as may otherwise be provided by the Committee either in the Award Agreement or in writing after the Award Agreement is issued, a grantees right in all Restricted Stock Units that have not vested shall automatically terminate upon the grantees termination of employment (or cessation of Service Relationship) with the Company and any Subsidiary for any reason.
SECTION 9. | TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS; COMPANY RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL; COMPANY REPURCHASE RIGHTS |
(a) Restrictions on Transfer.
(i) Non-Transferability of Stock Options. No Stock Option shall be transferable by the optionee otherwise than by will, by the laws of descent and distribution, to a revocable trust or as permitted by Rule 701 of the Securities Act and all Stock Options shall be exercisable, during the optionees lifetime, only by the optionee, or by the optionees legal representative or guardian in the event of the optionees incapacity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may provide in the Award Agreement regarding a given Stock Option that the optionee may transfer, without consideration for the transfer, his or her Non-Qualified Stock Options to members of his or her immediate family, to trusts for the benefit of such family members, or to partnerships in which such family members are the only partners, provided that the transferee agrees in writing with the Company to be bound by all of the terms and conditions of this Plan and the applicable Option.
(ii) Issued Shares. No Issued Shares shall be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated, given away or in any other manner disposed of or encumbered, whether voluntarily or by operation of law, unless (i) such transfer is in compliance with the terms of the applicable Award Agreement, all applicable securities laws (including, without limitation, the Securities Act), and with the terms and conditions of this Section 9, (ii) such transfer does not cause the Company to become subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, and (iii) the transferee consents in writing to be bound by the provisions of the Plan, including this Section 9. In connection with any proposed transfer, the Committee may require the transferor to provide at the transferors own expense an opinion of counsel to the transferor, satisfactory to the Committee, that such transfer is in compliance with all foreign, federal and state securities laws (including, without limitation, the Securities Act). Any attempted disposition of Issued Shares not in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Section 9 shall be null and void, and the Company shall not reflect on its records any change in record ownership of any Issued Shares as a result of any such disposition, shall otherwise refuse to recognize any such disposition and shall not in any way give
14
effect to any such disposition of Issued Shares. Subject to the foregoing general provisions, and unless otherwise provided in the applicable Award Agreement, Issued Shares may be transferred pursuant to the following specific terms and conditions (provided that with respect to any transfer of Restricted Stock, all vesting and forfeiture provisions shall continue to apply only with respect to the original recipient):
(A) Transfers to Permitted Transferees. The Holder may sell, assign, transfer or give away any or all of the Issued Shares to Permitted Transferees; provided, however, that following such sale, assignment, transfer or gift, such Issued Shares shall continue to be subject to the terms of this Plan (including this Section 9) and such Permitted Transferee(s) shall, as a condition to any such transfer, deliver a written acknowledgment to that effect to the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Holder may not sell, assign, transfer or give away any or all of the Issued Shares to any Person whom the Company reasonably determines is a direct competitor or a potential competitor of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.
(B) Transfers Upon Death. Upon the death of the Holder, any Issued Shares then held by the Holder at the time of such death and any Issued Shares acquired thereafter by the Holders legal representative shall be subject to the provisions of this Plan, and the Holders estate, executors, administrators, personal representatives, heirs, legatees and distributees shall be obligated to convey such Issued Shares to the Company or its assigns under the terms contemplated hereby.
(b) Right of First Refusal. In the event that a Holder desires at any time to sell or otherwise transfer all or any part of such Holders Issued Shares (other than shares of Restricted Stock which by their terms are not transferrable), the Holder first shall give written notice to the Company of the Holders intention to make such transfer. Such notice shall state the number of Issued Shares which the Holder proposes to sell (the Offered Shares), the price and the terms at which the proposed sale is to be made and the name and address of the proposed transferee. At any time within 30 days after the receipt of such notice by the Company, the Company or its assigns may elect to purchase all or any portion of the Offered Shares at the price and on the terms offered by the proposed transferee and specified in the notice. The Company or its assigns shall exercise this right by mailing or delivering written notice to the Holder within the foregoing 30-day period. If the Company or its assigns elect to exercise its purchase rights under this Section 9(b), the closing for such purchase shall, in any event, take place within 45 days after the receipt by the Company of the initial notice from the Holder. In the event that the Company or its assigns do not elect to exercise such purchase right, or in the event that the Company or its assigns do not pay the full purchase price within such 45-day period, the Holder may, within 60 days thereafter, sell the Offered Shares to the proposed transferee and at the same price and on the same terms as specified in the Holders notice. Any Shares purchased by such proposed transferee shall no longer be subject to the terms of the Plan. Any Shares not sold to the proposed transferee shall remain subject to the Plan. If the Holder is a party to any stockholders agreement or other agreements with the Company and/or certain other of the Companys stockholders relating to the Stock, (i) the transferring Holder shall comply with the requirements of such stockholders agreement or other agreements relating to any proposed transfer of the Offered Shares, and (ii) any proposed transferee that purchases the Offered Shares shall enter into such stockholders agreement or other agreements with the Company and/or certain other of the Companys stockholders relating to the Offered Shares on the same terms and in the same capacity as the transferring Holder.
15
(c) Companys Right of Repurchase.
(i) Right of Repurchase for Option Shares. The Company or its assigns shall have the right and option upon a Repurchase Event to repurchase from a Holder of Option Shares some or all (as determined by the Company) of the Option Shares held or subsequently acquired upon exercise of a Stock Option by such Holder at the price per share specified below. Such repurchase right may be exercised by the Company within the later of (A) six months following the date of such Repurchase Event or (B) seven months after the acquisition of such Option Shares upon exercise of a Stock Option (the Option Shares Repurchase Period). The Option Shares Repurchase Price shall be equal to the Fair Market Value of the Option Shares, determined as of the date the Committee elects to exercise its repurchase rights in connection with a Repurchase Event.
(ii) Right of Repurchase With Respect to Restricted Stock and Shares issued pursuant to an Unrestricted Stock Award or Restricted Stock Unit Award. Unless otherwise set forth in the agreement entered into by the recipient and the Company in connection with a Restricted Stock Award, Unrestricted Stock Award or Restricted Stock Unit Award, the Company or its assigns shall have the right and option upon a Repurchase Event to repurchase from a Holder of Issued Shares received pursuant to a Restricted Stock Award, Unrestricted Stock Award or Restricted Stock Unit Award some or all (as determined by the Company) of such Issued Shares at the price per share specified below. In addition, upon a Termination Event, the Company or its assigns shall have the right and option to repurchase from a Holder of Issued Shares received pursuant to a Restricted Stock Award any Issued Shares which have not vested as of the Termination Event (including any unvested Option Shares). Such repurchase right may be exercised by the Company within six months following the date of such Repurchase Event or Termination Event as applicable (the Non-Option Shares Repurchase Period). The Non-Option Shares Repurchase Price shall be (i) in the case of Issued Shares which are vested as of the date of the Repurchase Event, the Fair Market Value of such Issued Shares as of the date the Company elects to exercise its repurchase rights in connection with a Repurchase Event and (ii) in the case of Issued Shares which have not vested as of the date of the Repurchase Event or Termination Event (as applicable), the lower of the original per share purchase price paid by the recipient subject to adjustment as provided in Section 3(b) or the current Fair Market Value of such Issued Shares as of the date the Company elects to exercise its repurchase rights in connection with a Repurchase Event or Termination Event (as applicable).
(iii) Procedure. Any repurchase right of the Company shall be exercised by the Company or its assigns by giving the Holder written notice on or before the last day of the Option Shares Repurchase Period or Non-Option Shares Repurchase Period, as applicable, of its intention to exercise such repurchase right. Upon such notification, the Holder shall promptly surrender to the Company, free and clear of any liens or encumbrances, any certificates representing the Shares being purchased, together with a duly executed stock power for the transfer of such Shares to the Company or the Companys assignee or assignees. Upon the Companys or its assignees receipt of the certificates from the Holder, the Company or its assignee or assignees shall deliver to him, her or them a check for the Option Shares Repurchase Price or the Non-Option
16
Shares Repurchase Price, as applicable; provided, however, that the Company may pay the Option Shares Repurchase Price or Non-Option Shares Repurchase Price, as applicable, by offsetting and canceling any indebtedness then owed by the Holder to the Company.
(d) Escrow Arrangement.
(i) Escrow. In order to carry out the provisions of Sections 9(b) and (c) of this Agreement more effectively, the Company shall hold any Issued Shares in escrow together with separate stock powers executed by the Holder in blank for transfer, and any Permitted Transferee shall, as an additional condition to any transfer of Issued Shares, execute a like stock power as to such Issued Shares. The Company shall not dispose of the Issued Shares except as otherwise provided in this Agreement. In the event of any repurchase by the Company (or any of its assigns), the Company is hereby authorized by the Holder and any Permitted Transferee, as the Holders and each such Permitted Transferees attorney-in-fact, to date and complete the stock powers necessary for the transfer of the Issued Shares being purchased and to transfer such Issued Shares in accordance with the terms hereof. At such time as any Issued Shares are no longer subject to the Companys repurchase and first refusal rights, the Company shall, at the written request of the Holder, deliver to the Holder (or the relevant Permitted Transferee) a certificate representing such Issued Shares with the balance of the Issued Shares to be held in escrow pursuant to this Section 9(d).
(ii) Remedy. Without limitation of any other provision of this Agreement or other rights, in the event that a Holder, any Permitted Transferees or any other Person is required to sell a Holders Issued Shares pursuant to the provisions of Sections 9(b) or (c) hereof and in the further event that he or she refuses or for any reason fails to deliver to the Company or its designated purchaser of such Issued Shares the certificate or certificates evidencing such Issued Shares together with a related stock power, the Company or such designated purchaser may deposit the applicable purchase price for such Issued Shares with a bank designated by the Company, or with the Companys independent public accounting firm, as agent or trustee, or in escrow, for such Holder, any Permitted Transferees or other Person, to be held by such bank or accounting firm for the benefit of and for delivery to him, her, them or it, and/or, in its discretion, pay such purchase price by offsetting any indebtedness then owed by such Holder as provided above. Upon any such deposit and/or offset by the Company or its designated purchaser of such amount and upon notice to the Person who was required to sell the Issued Shares to be sold pursuant to the provisions of Sections 9(b) or (c), such Issued Shares shall at such time be deemed to have been sold, assigned, transferred and conveyed to such purchaser, such Holder shall have no further rights thereto (other than the right to withdraw the payment thereof held in escrow, if applicable), and the Company shall record such transfer in its stock transfer book or in any appropriate manner.
(e) Lockup Provision. A Holder agrees, if requested by the Company and any underwriter engaged by the Company, not to sell or otherwise transfer or dispose of any Issued Shares (including, without limitation, pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act) held by him or her for such period following the effective date of any registration statement of the Company filed under the Securities Act as the Company or such underwriter shall specify reasonably and in good faith. If requested by the underwriter engaged by the Company, each holder shall execute a separate letter reflecting the agreement set forth in this Section 9(e).
17
(f) Adjustments for Changes in Capital Structure. If, as a result of any reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or other similar change in the Common Stock, the outstanding shares of Common Stock are increased or decreased or are exchanged for a different number or kind of shares of the Companys Stock, the restrictions contained in this Section 9 shall apply with equal force to additional and/or substitute securities, if any, received by Holder in exchange for, or by virtue of his or her ownership of, Issued Shares.
(g) Termination. The terms and provisions of Section 9(b) and Section 9(c) (except for the Companys right to repurchase unvested Restricted Stock Awards (including unvested Option Shares) upon a Termination Event) shall terminate upon the closing of the Companys Initial Public Offering or upon consummation of any Sale Event, in either case as a result of which shares of the Company (or a successor entity) of the same class as the Issued Shares are registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act and publicly-traded on NASDAQ or any national security exchange.
SECTION 10. | TAX WITHHOLDING |
(a) Payment by Grantee. Each grantee shall, no later than the date as of which the value of an Award or of any Stock or other amounts received thereunder first becomes includable in the gross income of the grantee for Federal income tax purposes, pay to the Company, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Committee regarding payment of, any Federal, state, or local taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld by the Company with respect to such income. The Company and any Subsidiary shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct any such taxes from any payment of any kind otherwise due to the grantee. The Companys obligation to deliver stock certificates (or evidence of book entry) to any grantee is subject to and conditioned on any such tax withholding obligations being satisfied by the grantee.
(b) Payment in Stock. Subject to approval by the Committee, the Companys minimum required tax withholding obligation may be satisfied, in whole or in part, by the Company withholding from shares of Stock to be issued pursuant to any Award a number of shares with an aggregate Fair Market Value (as of the date the withholding is effected) that would satisfy the minimum withholding amount due.
SECTION 11. | SECTION 409A AWARDS. |
To the extent that any Award is determined to constitute nonqualified deferred compensation within the meaning of Section 409A (a 409A Award), the Award shall be subject to such additional rules and requirements as specified by the Committee from time to time in order to comply with Section 409A. In this regard, if any amount under a 409A Award is payable upon a separation from service (within the meaning of Section 409A) to a grantee who is considered a specified employee (within the meaning of Section 409A), then no such payment shall be made prior to the date that is the earlier of (i) six months and one day after the grantees separation from service, or (ii) the grantees death, but only to the extent such delay is necessary to prevent such payment from being subject to interest, penalties and/or additional tax imposed pursuant to Section 409A.
18
SECTION 12. | TRANSFER, LEAVE OF ABSENCE, ETC. |
For purposes of the Plan, the following events shall not be deemed a termination of a Service Relationship:
(a) a transfer to the employment of the Company from a Subsidiary or from the Company to a Subsidiary, or from one Subsidiary to another; or
(b) an approved leave of absence for military service or sickness, or for any other purpose approved by the Company, if the employees right to re-employment is guaranteed either by a statute or by contract or under the policy pursuant to which the leave of absence was granted or if the Committee otherwise so provides in writing.
SECTION 13. | AMENDMENTS AND TERMINATION |
The Board may, at any time, amend or discontinue the Plan and the Committee may, at any time, amend or cancel any outstanding Award (or provide substitute Awards at the same or a reduced exercise or purchase price or with no exercise or purchase price in a manner not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan; provided, that such price, if any, must satisfy the requirements which would apply to the substitute or amended Award if it were then initially granted under the Plan for the purpose of satisfying changes in law or for any other lawful purpose), but no such action shall adversely affect rights under any outstanding Award without the consent of the holder of the Award. The Committee may exercise its discretion to reduce the exercise price of outstanding Stock Options or effect repricing through cancellation of outstanding Awards and by granting such holders new Awards in replacement of the cancelled Awards. To the extent determined by the Committee to be required either by the Code to ensure that Incentive Stock Options granted under the Plan are qualified under Section 422 of the Code or otherwise, Plan amendments shall be subject to approval by the Company stockholders entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders. Nothing in this Section 13 shall limit the Boards or Committees authority to take any action permitted pursuant to Section 3(c).
SECTION 14. | STATUS OF PLAN |
With respect to the portion of any Award that has not been exercised and any payments in cash, Stock or other consideration not received by a grantee, a grantee shall have no rights greater than those of a general creditor of the Company unless the Committee shall otherwise expressly so determine in connection with any Award or Awards. In its sole discretion, the Committee may authorize the creation of trusts or other arrangements to meet the Companys obligations to deliver Stock or make payments with respect to Awards hereunder; provided, that the existence of such trusts or other arrangements is consistent with the foregoing sentence.
SECTION 15. | GENERAL PROVISIONS |
(a) No Distribution; Compliance with Legal Requirements. The Committee may require each person acquiring Stock pursuant to an Award to represent to and agree with the Company in writing that such person is acquiring the shares of Stock without a view to distribution thereof. No shares of Stock shall be issued pursuant to an Award until all applicable securities law and other legal and stock exchange or similar requirements have been satisfied. The Committee may require the placing of such stop-orders and restrictive legends on certificates for Stock and Awards as it deems appropriate.
19
(b) Delivery of Stock Certificates. Stock certificates to grantees under the Plan shall be deemed delivered for all purposes when the Company or a stock transfer agent of the Company shall have mailed such certificates in the United States mail, addressed to the grantee, at the grantees last known address on file with the Company. Uncertificated Stock shall be deemed delivered for all purposes when the Company or a Stock transfer agent of the Company shall have given to the grantee by electronic mail (with proof of receipt) or by United States mail, addressed to the grantee, at the grantees last known address on file with the Company, notice of issuance and recorded the issuance in its records (which may include electronic book entry records).
(c) Other Compensation Arrangements; No Employment Rights. Nothing contained in the Plan shall prevent the Board from adopting other or additional compensation arrangements, including trusts, and such arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases. The adoption of the Plan and the grant of Awards do not confer upon any employee any right to continued employment or Service Relationship with the Company or any Subsidiary.
(d) Trading Policy Restrictions. Option exercises and other Awards under the Plan shall be subject to such Companys insider trading policy-related restrictions, terms and conditions as may be established by the Committee, or in accordance with policies set by the Committee, from time to time.
(e) Designation of Beneficiary. Each grantee to whom an Award has been made under the Plan may designate a beneficiary or beneficiaries to exercise any Award on or after the grantees death or receive any payment under any Award payable on or after the grantees death. Any such designation shall be on a form provided for that purpose by the Committee and shall not be effective until received by the Committee. If no beneficiary has been designated by a deceased grantee, or if the designated beneficiaries have predeceased the grantee, the beneficiary shall be the grantees estate.
(f) Legend. Any certificate(s) representing the Issued Shares shall carry substantially the following legend (and with respect to uncertificated Stock, the book entries evidencing such shares shall contain the following notation):
The transferability of this certificate and the shares of stock represented hereby are subject to the restrictions, terms and conditions (including repurchase and restrictions against transfers) contained in the Xoom Corporation 2010 Stock Option and Grant Plan and any agreement entered into thereunder by and between the company and the holder of this certificate (a copy of which is available at the offices of the company for examination).
20
SECTION 16. EFFECTIVE DATE OF PLAN
The Plan shall become effective upon approval of stockholders in accordance with applicable state law, and the Companys articles of incorporation and bylaws. Subject to such approval by the stockholders and to the requirement that no Stock may be issued hereunder prior to such approval, Stock Options and other Awards may be granted hereunder on and after adoption of the Plan by the Board. No grants of Stock Options and other Awards may be made hereunder after the earlier of the tenth anniversary of the Effective Date or the tenth anniversary of the date the Plan is approved by the Board.
SECTION 17. | GOVERNING LAW |
This Plan, all Awards and any controversy arising out of or relating to this Plan and all Awards shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of California, without regard to conflict of law principles that would result in the application of any law other than the law of the State of California.

Pursuant to the Xoom Corporation 2010 Stock Option and Grant Plan (the Plan), Xoom Corporation, a California corporation (together with any successor thereto, the Company), hereby grants to the Optionee, who is an employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, an option (the Stock Option) to purchase on or prior to the Expiration Date, or such earlier date as is specified herein, all or any part of the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company (Common Stock), indicated above (the Underlying Shares, and such shares once issued shall be referred to as the Option Shares), at the Option Exercise Price per share, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Incentive Stock Option Agreement (this Agreement) and in the Plan. This Stock Option is intended to qualify as an incentive stock option as defined in Section 422(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time (the Code). To the extent that any portion of the Stock Option does not so qualify, it shall be deemed a non-qualified stock option.
All capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Plan.
1. Vesting, Exercisability and Termination.
(a) No portion of this Stock Option may be exercised until such portion shall have vested and become exercisable.
(b) Except as set forth below, and subject to the determination of the Committee in its sole discretion to accelerate the vesting schedule hereunder, this Stock Option shall be vested and exercisable with respect to the Underlying Shares on the respective dates indicated below:
(i) All Underlying Shares shall initially be unvested and unexercisable.
(ii) 25 percent of the Underlying Shares shall vest and become exercisable on the first anniversary of the Vesting Commencement Date; provided that the Optionee continues to have a Service Relationship with the Company at such time.
(iii) Thereafter, the remaining 75 percent of the Underlying Shares shall vest and become exercisable in 36 equal monthly installments at the end of each month following the first anniversary of the Vesting Commencement Date, provided the Optionee continues to have a Service Relationship with the Company at such time.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary in the case of a Sale Event, this Stock Option shall be treated as provided in Section 3(c) of the Plan.
(c) Termination. Except as may otherwise be provided by the Committee, if the Optionees Service Relationship is terminated, the period within which to exercise this Stock Option will be subject to earlier termination as set forth below (and if not exercised within such period, shall thereafter terminate subject, in each case to Section 3(c) of the Plan):
(i) Termination Due to Death or Disability. If the Optionees Service Relationship terminates by reason of such Optionees death or disability (as defined in Section 422(c) of the Code), this Stock Option may be exercised, to the extent exercisable on the date of such termination, by the Optionee, the Optionees legal representative or legatee for a period of 12 months from the date of death or disability or until the Expiration Date, if earlier.
(ii) Other Termination. If the Optionees Service Relationship terminates for any reason other than death or disability (as defined in Section 422(c) of the Code), and unless otherwise determined by the Committee, this Stock Option may be exercised, to the extent exercisable on the date of termination, for a period of 90 days from the date of termination or until the Expiration Date or other termination date, if earlier; provided however, if the Optionees Service Relationship is terminated for Cause, this Stock Option shall terminate immediately upon the date of such termination.
For purposes hereof, the Committees determination of the reason for termination of the Optionees Service Relationship shall be conclusive and binding on the Optionee and his or her representatives or legatees. Any portion of this Stock Option that is not exercisable on the date of termination of the Service Relationship shall terminate immediately and be null and void.
(d) It is understood and intended that this Stock Option is intended to qualify as an incentive stock option as defined in Section 422 of the Code to the extent permitted under applicable law. Accordingly, the Optionee understands that in order to obtain the benefits of an incentive stock option under Section 422 of the Code, no sale or other disposition may be made of Option Shares for which incentive stock option treatment is desired within the one-year period beginning on the day after the day of the transfer of such Option Shares to him or her, nor within the two-year period beginning on the day after Grant Date of this Stock Option and further that this Stock Option must be exercised within three months after termination of employment as an employee (or 12 months in the case of death or disability) to qualify as an incentive stock option. If the Optionee disposes (whether by sale, gift, transfer or otherwise) of
2
any such Option Shares within either of these periods, he or she will notify the Company within 30 days after such disposition. The Optionee also agrees to provide the Company with any information concerning any such dispositions required by the Company for tax purposes. Further, to the extent the Underlying Shares and any other incentive stock options of the Optionee having an aggregate Fair Market Value in excess of $100,000 (determined as of the Grant Date) first become exercisable in any year, such options will not qualify as incentive stock options.
2. Exercise of Stock Option.
(a) The Optionee may exercise this Stock Option only in the following manner: Prior to the Expiration Date, the Optionee may deliver a Stock Option exercise notice (an Exercise Notice) in the form of Appendix A hereto indicating his or her election to purchase some or all of the Underlying Shares with respect to which this Stock Option is exercisable at the time of such notice. Such notice shall specify the number of Underlying Shares to be purchased. Payment of the purchase price may be made by one or more of the methods described in Sections 5(a)(iv)(A), (B), (C) or (D) of the Plan, subject to the limitations contained in such Sections of the Plan, including the requirement that the Committee specifically approve in advance certain payment methods.
(b) Notwithstanding any other provision hereof or of the Plan, no portion of this Stock Option shall be exercisable after the Expiration Date.
(c) The Optionee shall, not later than the date as of which the exercise of this Stock Option becomes a taxable event for federal income tax purposes, pay to the Company or make arrangements satisfactory to the Committee for payment of any federal, state and local taxes required by law to be withheld on account of such taxable event. The Optionee acknowledges and agrees that the Company has the right to deduct from payments of any kind otherwise due to the Optionee, or from the Option Shares to be issued in respect of an exercise of this Stock Option, any federal, state or local taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to the issuance of Option Shares to the Optionee.
3. Incorporation of Plan. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Stock Option shall be subject to and governed by all the terms and conditions of the Plan.
4. Transferability of Stock Option. This Agreement is personal to the Optionee and is not transferable by the Optionee in any manner other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. The Stock Option may be exercised during the Optionees lifetime only by the Optionee (or by the Optionees guardian or personal representative in the event of the Optionees incapacity). The Optionee may elect to designate a beneficiary by providing written notice of the name of such beneficiary to the Company, and may revoke or change such designation at any time by filing written notice of revocation or change with the Company; such beneficiary may exercise the Optionees Stock Option in the event of the Optionees death to the extent provided herein. If the Optionee does not designate a beneficiary, or if the designated beneficiary predeceases the Optionee, the legal representative of the Optionee may exercise this Stock Option to the extent provided herein in the event of the Optionees death.
3
5. Restrictions on Transfer of Option Shares. The Option Shares acquired upon exercise of the Stock Option shall be subject to certain transfer restrictions and other limitations including, without limitation, the provisions contained in Section 9 of the Plan.
6. Miscellaneous Provisions.
(a) Equitable Relief. The parties hereto agree and declare that legal remedies may be inadequate to enforce the provisions of this Agreement and that equitable relief, including specific performance and injunctive relief, may be used to enforce the provisions of this Agreement.
(b) Adjustments for Changes in Capital Structure. If, as a result of any reorganization, recapitalization, reincorporation, reclassification, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or other similar change in the Common Stock, the outstanding shares of Common Stock are increased or decreased or are exchanged for a different number or kind of shares of the Companys stock, the restrictions contained in this Agreement shall apply with equal force to additional and/or substitute securities, if any, received by the Optionee in exchange for, or by virtue of his or her ownership of, Option Shares.
(c) Change and Modifications. This Agreement may not be orally changed, modified or terminated, nor shall any oral waiver of any of its terms be effective. This Agreement may be changed, modified or terminated only by an agreement in writing signed by the Company and the Optionee.
(d) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict of law principles that would result in the application of any law other than the law of the State of California.
(e) Headings. The headings are intended only for convenience in finding the subject matter and do not constitute part of the text of this Agreement and shall not be considered in the interpretation of this Agreement.
(f) Saving Clause. If any provision(s) of this Agreement shall be determined to be illegal or unenforceable, such determination shall in no manner affect the legality or enforceability of any other provision hereof.
(g) Notices. All notices, requests, consents and other communications shall be in writing and be deemed given when delivered personally, by telex or facsimile transmission or when received if mailed by first class registered or certified mail, postage prepaid. Notices to the Company or the Optionee shall be addressed as set forth underneath their signatures below, or to such other address or addresses as may have been furnished by such party in writing to the other.
(h) Benefit and Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto, their respective successors, permitted assigns, and legal representatives. The Company has the right to assign this Agreement, and such assignee
4
shall become entitled to all the rights of the Company hereunder to the extent of such assignment.
(i) Counterparts. For the convenience of the parties and to facilitate execution, this Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same document.
7. Dispute Resolution.
(a) Except as provided below, any dispute arising out of or relating to the Plan or this Stock Option, this Agreement, or the breach, termination or validity of the Plan, this Stock Option or this Agreement, shall be finally settled by binding arbitration conducted expeditiously in accordance with the J.A.M.S./Endispute Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures (the J.A.M.S. Rules). The arbitration shall be governed by the United States Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. Sections 1 16, and judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrators may be entered by any court having jurisdiction thereof. The place of arbitration shall be San Francisco, California.
(b) The arbitration shall commence within 60 days of the date on which a written demand for arbitration is filed by any party hereto. In connection with the arbitration proceeding, the arbitrator shall have the power to order the production of documents by each party and any third-party witnesses. In addition, each party may take up to three depositions as of right, and the arbitrator may in his or her discretion allow additional depositions upon good cause shown by the moving party. However, the arbitrator shall not have the power to order the answering of interrogatories or the response to requests for admission. In connection with any arbitration, each party to the arbitration shall provide to the other, no later than seven business days before the date of the arbitration, the identity of all persons that may testify at the arbitration and a copy of all documents that may be introduced at the arbitration or considered or used by a partys witness or expert. The arbitrators decision and award shall be made and delivered within six months of the selection of the arbitrator. The arbitrators decision shall set forth a reasoned basis for any award of damages or finding of liability. The arbitrator shall not have power to award damages in excess of actual compensatory damages and shall not multiply actual damages or award punitive damages, and each party hereby irrevocably waives any claim to such damages.
(c) The Company, the Optionee, each party to the Agreement and any other holder of Stock issued pursuant to this Agreement (each, a Party) covenants and agrees that such party will participate in the arbitration in good faith. This Section 7 applies equally to requests for temporary, preliminary or permanent injunctive relief, except that in the case of temporary or preliminary injunctive relief any party may proceed in court without prior arbitration for the limited purpose of avoiding immediate and irreparable harm.
(d) Each Party (i) hereby irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of any United States District Court of competent jurisdiction for the purpose of enforcing the award or decision in any such proceeding, (ii) hereby waives, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense, or otherwise, in any such suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of the above named courts, that its property is exempt or immune
5
from attachment or execution (except as protected by applicable law), that the suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the suit, action or proceeding is improper or that this Agreement or the subject matter hereof may not be enforced in or by such court, and (iii) hereby waives and agrees not to seek any review by any court of any other jurisdiction which may be called upon to grant an enforcement of the judgment of any such court. Each Party hereby consents to service of process by registered mail at the address to which notices are to be given. Each Party agrees that its, his or her submission to jurisdiction and its, his or her consent to service of process by mail is made for the express benefit of each other Party. Final judgment against any Party in any such action, suit or proceeding may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit, action or proceeding on the judgment, or in any other manner provided by or pursuant to the laws of such other jurisdiction.

All capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Plan.
1. Vesting, Exercisability and Termination.
(a) This Stock Option shall be immediately exercisable, regardless of whether the Option Shares are vested.

For purposes of this Agreement, Good Reason shall mean any of the following events without the Optionees consent: (i) a demotion or any diminution of the Optionees position, authority, duties or responsibilities and which shall include (but not be limited to) the Optionee having a position, authority, duties or responsibilities after the Sale Event with respect to a division or line of business, rather than a substantially comparable position, authority, duties or responsibilities with respect to the Companys successor or acquirer (for example, being the CFO of the Xoom (or similar) division of an acquiring entity and not the CFO of an acquiring entity or its parent would constitute Good Reason hereunder), (ii) a requirement that the Optionee report to work more than 30 miles from the Companys existing headquarters immediately prior to the Sale Event (not including normal business travel required of the Optionees position and which is substantially comparable to the business travel required of the Optionee immediately prior to the Sale Event); or (iii) a reduction in the Optionees base salary, bonus opportunity or benefits. For the avoidance of doubt, this definition of Good Reason supersedes any conflicting terms in any offer letter, employment agreement or similar agreement between the Company and the Optionee in effect on or prior to the date hereof.
(c) Termination. Except as may otherwise be provided by the Committee, if the Optionees Service Relationship is terminated, the period within which to exercise this Stock Option will be subject to earlier termination as set forth below (and if not exercised within such period, shall thereafter terminate subject, in each case to Section 3(c) of the Plan):
(i) Termination Due to Death or Disability. If the Optionees Service Relationship terminates by reason of such Optionees death or disability (as defined in Section 422(c) of the Code), this Stock Option may continue to be exercised, to the extent the Option Shares are vested on the date of termination, by the Optionee, the Optionees legal representative or legatee for a period of 12 months from the date of death or disability or until the Expiration Date, if earlier.
(ii) Other Termination. If the Optionees Service Relationship terminates for any reason other than death or disability (as defined in Section 422(c) of
2
the Code), and unless otherwise determined by the Committee, this Stock Option may continue to be exercised, to the extent the Option Shares are vested on the date of termination, for a period of 90 days from the date of termination or until the Expiration Date or other termination date, if earlier; provided however, if the Optionees Service Relationship is terminated for Cause, this Stock Option shall terminate immediately upon the date of such termination.
For purposes hereof, the Committees determination of the reason for termination of the Optionees Service Relationship shall be conclusive and binding on the Optionee and his or her representatives or legatees. Any portion of this Stock Option with respect to Option Shares that are not vested on the date of termination of the Service Relationship shall terminate immediately and be null and void.
(d) It is understood and intended that this Stock Option is intended to qualify as an incentive stock option as defined in Section 422 of the Code to the extent permitted under applicable law. Accordingly, the Optionee understands that in order to obtain the benefits of an incentive stock option under Section 422 of the Code, no sale or other disposition may be made of Option Shares for which incentive stock option treatment is desired within the one-year period beginning on the day after the day of the transfer of such Option Shares to him or her, nor within the two-year period beginning on the day after Grant Date of this Stock Option and further that this Stock Option must be exercised within three months after termination of employment as an employee (or 12 months in the case of death or disability) to qualify as an incentive stock option. If the Optionee disposes (whether by sale, gift, transfer or otherwise) of any such Option Shares within either of these periods, he or she will notify the Company within 30 days after such disposition. The Optionee also agrees to provide the Company with any information concerning any such dispositions required by the Company for tax purposes. Further, to the extent the Option Shares and any other incentive stock options of the Optionee having an aggregate Fair Market Value in excess of $100,000 (determined as of the Grant Date) first become exercisable in any year, such options will not qualify as incentive stock options.
2. Exercise of Stock Option.
(a) The Optionee may exercise this Stock Option only in the following manner: Prior to the Expiration Date, the Optionee may deliver a Stock Option exercise notice (an Exercise Notice) in the form of Appendix A hereto indicating his or her election to purchase some or all of the Option Shares. Such notice shall specify the number of Option Shares to be purchased. To the extent this Stock Option is only partially exercised, such exercise shall first be with respect to the Option Shares, if any, that have previously vested, and then with respect to the Option Shares that will next vest, with the Option Shares that vest at the latest date being exercised last. Payment of the purchase price may be made by one or more of the methods described in Sections 5(a)(iv)(A), (B), (C) or (D) of the Plan, subject to the limitations contained in such Sections of the Plan, including the requirement that the Committee specifically approve in advance certain payment methods.
(b) In the event the Optionee exercises a portion of this Stock Option with respect to Option Shares that have not vested, the Optionee shall also deliver a Restricted Stock Agreement covering such unvested Option Shares in the form of Appendix B hereto (the
3
Restricted Stock Agreement) with the same vesting schedule for such Option Shares as set forth for such Option Shares herein.
(c) Notwithstanding any other provision hereof or of the Plan, no portion of this Stock Option shall be exercisable after the Expiration Date.
(d) The Optionee shall, not later than the date as of which the exercise of this Stock Option becomes a taxable event for federal income tax purposes, pay to the Company or make arrangements satisfactory to the Committee for payment of any federal, state and local taxes required by law to be withheld on account of such taxable event. The Optionee acknowledges and agrees that the Company has the right to deduct from payments of any kind otherwise due to the Optionee, or from the Option Shares to be issued in respect of an exercise of this Stock Option, any federal, state or local taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to the issuance of Option Shares to the Optionee.
3. Incorporation of Plan. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Stock Option shall be subject to and governed by all the terms and conditions of the Plan.
4. Transferability of Stock Option. This Agreement is personal to the Optionee and is not transferable by the Optionee in any manner other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. The Stock Option may be exercised during the Optionees lifetime only by the Optionee (or by the Optionees guardian or personal representative in the event of the Optionees incapacity). The Optionee may elect to designate a beneficiary by providing written notice of the name of such beneficiary to the Company, and may revoke or change such designation at any time by filing written notice of revocation or change with the Company; such beneficiary may exercise the Optionees Stock Option in the event of the Optionees death to the extent provided herein. If the Optionee does not designate a beneficiary, or if the designated beneficiary predeceases the Optionee, the legal representative of the Optionee may exercise this Stock Option to the extent provided herein in the event of the Optionees death.
5. Restrictions on Transfer of Option Shares. The Option Shares acquired upon exercise of the Stock Option shall be subject to certain transfer restrictions and other limitations including, without limitation, the provisions contained in Section 9 of the Plan and, if applicable, the Restricted Stock Agreement.
6. Miscellaneous Provisions.
(a) Equitable Relief. The parties hereto agree and declare that legal remedies may be inadequate to enforce the provisions of this Agreement and that equitable relief, including specific performance and injunctive relief, may be used to enforce the provisions of this Agreement.
(b) Adjustments for Changes in Capital Structure. If, as a result of any reorganization, recapitalization, reincorporation, reclassification, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or other similar change in the Common Stock, the outstanding shares of Common Stock are increased or decreased or are exchanged for a different number or kind of shares of the Companys stock, the restrictions contained in this Agreement shall apply with
4
equal force to additional and/or substitute securities, if any, received by the Optionee in exchange for, or by virtue of his or her ownership of, Option Shares.
(c) Change and Modifications. This Agreement may not be orally changed, modified or terminated, nor shall any oral waiver of any of its terms be effective. This Agreement may be changed, modified or terminated only by an agreement in writing signed by the Company and the Optionee.
(d) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of State of California, without regard to conflict of law principles that would result in the application of any law other than the law of the State of California.
(e) Headings. The headings are intended only for convenience in finding the subject matter and do not constitute part of the text of this Agreement and shall not be considered in the interpretation of this Agreement.
(f) Saving Clause. If any provision(s) of this Agreement shall be determined to be illegal or unenforceable, such determination shall in no manner affect the legality or enforceability of any other provision hereof.
(g) Notices. All notices, requests, consents and other communications shall be in writing and be deemed given when delivered personally, by telex or facsimile transmission or when received if mailed by first class registered or certified mail, postage prepaid. Notices to the Company or the Optionee shall be addressed as set forth underneath their signatures below, or to such other address or addresses as may have been furnished by such party in writing to the other.
(h) Benefit and Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto, their respective successors, permitted assigns, and legal representatives. The Company has the right to assign this Agreement, and such assignee shall become entitled to all the rights of the Company hereunder to the extent of such assignment.
(i) Counterparts. For the convenience of the parties and to facilitate execution, this Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same document.
7. Dispute Resolution.
(a) Except as provided below, any dispute arising out of or relating to the Plan or this Stock Option, this Agreement, or the breach, termination or validity of the Plan, this Stock Option or this Agreement, shall be finally settled by binding arbitration conducted expeditiously in accordance with the J.A.M.S./Endispute Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures (the J.A.M.S. Rules). The arbitration shall be governed by the United States Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. Sections 1 16, and judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrators may be entered by any court having jurisdiction thereof. The place of arbitration shall be San Francisco, California.
5
(b) The arbitration shall commence within 60 days of the date on which a written demand for arbitration is filed by any party hereto. In connection with the arbitration proceeding, the arbitrator shall have the power to order the production of documents by each party and any third-party witnesses. In addition, each party may take up to three depositions as of right, and the arbitrator may in his or her discretion allow additional depositions upon good cause shown by the moving party. However, the arbitrator shall not have the power to order the answering of interrogatories or the response to requests for admission. In connection with any arbitration, each party to the arbitration shall provide to the other, no later than seven business days before the date of the arbitration, the identity of all persons that may testify at the arbitration and a copy of all documents that may be introduced at the arbitration or considered or used by a partys witness or expert. The arbitrators decision and award shall be made and delivered within six months of the selection of the arbitrator. The arbitrators decision shall set forth a reasoned basis for any award of damages or finding of liability. The arbitrator shall not have power to award damages in excess of actual compensatory damages and shall not multiply actual damages or award punitive damages, and each party hereby irrevocably waives any claim to such damages.
(c) The Company, the Optionee, each party to the Agreement and any other holder of Stock issued pursuant to this Agreement (each, a Party) covenants and agrees that such party will participate in the arbitration in good faith. This Section 7 applies equally to requests for temporary, preliminary or permanent injunctive relief, except that in the case of temporary or preliminary injunctive relief any party may proceed in court without prior arbitration for the limited purpose of avoiding immediate and irreparable harm.
(d) Each Party (i) hereby irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of any United States District Court of competent jurisdiction for the purpose of enforcing the award or decision in any such proceeding, (ii) hereby waives, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense, or otherwise, in any such suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of the above named courts, that its property is exempt or immune from attachment or execution (except as protected by applicable law), that the suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the suit, action or proceeding is improper or that this Agreement or the subject matter hereof may not be enforced in or by such court, and (iii) hereby waives and agrees not to seek any review by any court of any other jurisdiction which may be called upon to grant an enforcement of the judgment of any such court. Each Party hereby consents to service of process by registered mail at the address to which notices are to be given. Each Party agrees that its, his or her submission to jurisdiction and its, his or her consent to service of process by mail is made for the express benefit of each other Party. Final judgment against any Party in any such action, suit or proceeding may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit, action or proceeding on the judgment, or in any other manner provided by or pursuant to the laws of such other jurisdiction.

Pursuant to the Xoom Corporation 2010 Stock Option and Grant Plan (the Plan), Xoom Corporation, a California corporation (together with any successor thereto, the Company), hereby grants to the Optionee, who is an employee or Consultant of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, an option (the Stock Option) to purchase on or prior to the Expiration Date, or such earlier date as is specified herein, all or any part of the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company (Common Stock) indicated above (the Option Shares), at the Option Exercise Price per share, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Early Exercise Non-Qualified Stock Option Agreement (this Agreement) and in the Plan. This Stock Option is not intended to qualify as an incentive stock option as defined in Section 422(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time (the Code).
All capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Plan.
1. Vesting, Exercisability and Termination.
(a) This Stock Option shall be immediately exercisable, regardless of whether the Option Shares are vested.
(b) Except as set forth below, and subject to the determination of the Committee in its sole discretion to accelerate the vesting schedule hereunder, the Option Shares shall be vested on the respective dates indicated below:
(i) All Option Shares shall initially be unvested.
(ii) 20 percent of the Option Shares shall vest on the first anniversary of the Vesting Commencement Date; provided that the Optionee continues to have a Service Relationship with the Company at such time.
(iii) Thereafter, the remaining 80 percent of the Option Shares shall vest in 48 equal monthly installments at the end of each month following the first anniversary of the Vesting Commencement Date, provided the Optionee continues to have a Service Relationship with the Company at such time.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any unvested Option Shares shall become vested in full upon the date on which the Optionees Service Relationship with the Company and its Subsidiaries or successor entity terminates if (A) such termination occurs in connection with and effective as of the date of, or within 12 months following the date of, such Sale Event and (B) such termination is either by the Company without Cause or by the Optionee for Good Reason. For purposes of this Agreement, Good Reason shall mean any of the following events without the Optionees consent: (i) a demotion or any diminution of the Optionees position, authority, duties or responsibilities and which shall include (but not be limited to) the Optionee having a position, authority, duties or responsibilities after the Sale Event with respect to a division or line of business, rather than a substantially comparable position, authority, duties or responsibilities with respect to the Companys successor or acquirer (for example, being the CFO of the Xoom (or similar) division of an acquiring entity and not the CFO of an acquiring entity or its parent would constitute Good Reason hereunder), (ii) a requirement that the Optionee report to work more than 30 miles from the Companys existing headquarters immediately prior to the Sale Event (not including normal business travel required of the Optionees position and which is substantially comparable to the business travel required of the Optionee immediately prior to the Sale Event); or (iii) a reduction in the Optionees base salary, bonus opportunity or benefits. For the avoidance of doubt, this definition of Good Reason supersedes any conflicting terms in any offer letter, employment agreement or similar agreement between the Company and the Optionee in effect on or prior to the date hereof.
(c) Termination. Except as may otherwise be provided by the Committee, if the Optionees Service Relationship is terminated, the period within which to exercise this Stock Option will be subject to earlier termination as set forth below (and if not exercised within such period, shall thereafter terminate subject, in each case to Section 3(c) of the Plan):
(i) Termination Due to Death or Disability. If the Optionees Service Relationship terminates by reason of such Optionees death or disability (as defined in Section 422(c) of the Code), this Stock Option may continue to be exercised, to the extent the Option Shares are vested on the date of termination, by the Optionee, the Optionees legal representative or legatee for a period of 12 months from the date of death or disability or until the Expiration Date, if earlier.
(ii) Other Termination. If the Optionees Service Relationship terminates for any reason other than death or disability (as defined in Section 422(c) of the Code), and unless otherwise determined by the Committee, this Stock Option may continue to be exercised, to the extent the Option Shares are vested on the date of
2
termination, for a period of 90 days from the date of termination or until the Expiration Date or other termination date, if earlier; provided however, if the Optionees Service Relationship is terminated for Cause, this Stock Option shall terminate immediately upon the date of such termination.
For purposes hereof, the Committees determination of the reason for termination of the Optionees Service Relationship shall be conclusive and binding on the Optionee and his or her representatives or legatees and any Permitted Transferee. Any portion of this Stock Option with respect to Option Shares that are not vested on the date of termination of the Service Relationship shall terminate immediately and be null and void.
2. Exercise of Stock Option.
(a) The Optionee may exercise this Stock Option only in the following manner: Prior to the Expiration Date, the Optionee may deliver a Stock Option exercise notice (an Exercise Notice) in the form of Appendix A hereto indicating his or her election to purchase some or all of the Option Shares. Such notice shall specify the number of Option Shares to be purchased. To the extent this Stock Option is only partially exercised, such exercise shall first be with respect to the Option Shares, if any, that have previously vested, and then with respect to the Option Shares that will next vest, with the Option Shares that vest at the latest date being exercised last. Payment of the purchase price may be made by one or more of the methods described in Sections 5(a)(iv)(A), (B), (C), (D) or (E) of the Plan, subject to the limitations contained in such Sections of the Plan, including the requirement that the Committee specifically approve in advance certain payment methods.
(b) In the event the Optionee exercises a portion of this Stock Option with respect to Option Shares that have not vested, the Optionee shall also deliver a Restricted Stock Agreement covering such unvested Option Shares in the form of Appendix B hereto (the Restricted Stock Agreement) with the same vesting schedule for such Option Shares as set forth for such Option Shares herein.
(c) Notwithstanding any other provision hereof or of the Plan, no portion of this Stock Option shall be exercisable after the Expiration Date.
(d) The Optionee shall, not later than the date as of which the exercise of this Stock Option becomes a taxable event for federal income tax purposes, pay to the Company or make arrangements satisfactory to the Committee for payment of any federal, state and local taxes required by law to be withheld on account of such taxable event. The Optionee acknowledges and agrees that the Company has the right to deduct from payments of any kind otherwise due to the Optionee, or from the Option Shares to be issued in respect of an exercise of this Stock Option, any federal, state or local taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to the issuance of Option Shares to the Optionee.
3. Incorporation of Plan. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Stock Option shall be subject to and governed by all the terms and conditions of the Plan.
4. Transferability of Stock Option. This Agreement is personal to the Optionee and is not transferable by the Optionee in any manner other than by will or by the laws of descent
3
and distribution. The Stock Option may be exercised during the Optionees lifetime only by the Optionee (or by the Optionees guardian or personal representative in the event of the Optionees incapacity). The Optionee may elect to designate a beneficiary by providing written notice of the name of such beneficiary to the Company, and may revoke or change such designation at any time by filing written notice of revocation or change with the Company; such beneficiary may exercise the Optionees Stock Option in the event of the Optionees death to the extent provided herein. If the Optionee does not designate a beneficiary, or if the designated beneficiary predeceases the Optionee, the legal representative of the Optionee may exercise this Stock Option to the extent provided herein in the event of the Optionees death.
5. Restrictions on Transfer of Option Shares. The Option Shares acquired upon exercise of the Stock Option shall be subject to certain transfer restrictions and other limitations including, without limitation, the provisions contained in Section 9 of the Plan and, if applicable, the Restricted Stock Agreement.
6. Miscellaneous Provisions.
(a) Equitable Relief. The parties hereto agree and declare that legal remedies may be inadequate to enforce the provisions of this Agreement and that equitable relief, including specific performance and injunctive relief, may be used to enforce the provisions of this Agreement.
(b) Adjustments for Changes in Capital Structure. If, as a result of any reorganization, recapitalization, reincorporation, reclassification, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or other similar change in the Common Stock, the outstanding shares of Common Stock are increased or decreased or are exchanged for a different number or kind of shares of the Companys stock, the restrictions contained in this Agreement shall apply with equal force to additional and/or substitute securities, if any, received by the Optionee in exchange for, or by virtue of his or her ownership of, Option Shares.
(c) Change and Modifications. This Agreement may not be orally changed, modified or terminated, nor shall any oral waiver of any of its terms be effective. This Agreement may be changed, modified or terminated only by an agreement in writing signed by the Company and the Optionee.
(d) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of State of California, without regard to conflict of law principles that would result in the application of any law other than the law of the State of California.
(e) Headings. The headings are intended only for convenience in finding the subject matter and do not constitute part of the text of this Agreement and shall not be considered in the interpretation of this Agreement.
(f) Saving Clause. If any provision(s) of this Agreement shall be determined to be illegal or unenforceable, such determination shall in no manner affect the legality or enforceability of any other provision hereof.
4
(g) Notices. All notices, requests, consents and other communications shall be in writing and be deemed given when delivered personally, by telex or facsimile transmission or when received if mailed by first class registered or certified mail, postage prepaid. Notices to the Company or the Optionee shall be addressed as set forth underneath their signatures below, or to such other address or addresses as may have been furnished by such party in writing to the other.
(h) Benefit and Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto, their respective successors, permitted assigns, and legal representatives. The Company has the right to assign this Agreement, and such assignee shall become entitled to all the rights of the Company hereunder to the extent of such assignment.
(i) Counterparts. For the convenience of the parties and to facilitate execution, this Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same document.
7. Dispute Resolution.
(a) Except as provided below, any dispute arising out of or relating to the Plan or this Stock Option, this Agreement, or the breach, termination or validity of the Plan, this Stock Option or this Agreement, shall be finally settled by binding arbitration conducted expeditiously in accordance with the J.A.M.S./Endispute Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures (the J.A.M.S. Rules). The arbitration shall be governed by the United States Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. Sections 1 16, and judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrators may be entered by any court having jurisdiction thereof. The place of arbitration shall be San Francisco, California.
(b) The arbitration shall commence within 60 days of the date on which a written demand for arbitration is filed by any party hereto. In connection with the arbitration proceeding, the arbitrator shall have the power to order the production of documents by each party and any third-party witnesses. In addition, each party may take up to three depositions as of right, and the arbitrator may in his or her discretion allow additional depositions upon good cause shown by the moving party. However, the arbitrator shall not have the power to order the answering of interrogatories or the response to requests for admission. In connection with any arbitration, each party to the arbitration shall provide to the other, no later than seven business days before the date of the arbitration, the identity of all persons that may testify at the arbitration and a copy of all documents that may be introduced at the arbitration or considered or used by a partys witness or expert. The arbitrators decision and award shall be made and delivered within six months of the selection of the arbitrator. The arbitrators decision shall set forth a reasoned basis for any award of damages or finding of liability. The arbitrator shall not have power to award damages in excess of actual compensatory damages and shall not multiply actual damages or award punitive damages, and each party hereby irrevocably waives any claim to such damages.
(c) The Company, the Optionee, each party to the Agreement and any other holder of Stock issued pursuant to this Agreement (each, a Party) covenants and agrees that
5
such party will participate in the arbitration in good faith. This Section 7 applies equally to requests for temporary, preliminary or permanent injunctive relief, except that in the case of temporary or preliminary injunctive relief any party may proceed in court without prior arbitration for the limited purpose of avoiding immediate and irreparable harm.
(d) Each Party (i) hereby irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of any United States District Court of competent jurisdiction for the purpose of enforcing the award or decision in any such proceeding, (ii) hereby waives, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense, or otherwise, in any such suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of the above named courts, that its property is exempt or immune from attachment or execution (except as protected by applicable law), that the suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the suit, action or proceeding is improper or that this Agreement or the subject matter hereof may not be enforced in or by such court, and (iii) hereby waives and agrees not to seek any review by any court of any other jurisdiction which may be called upon to grant an enforcement of the judgment of any such court. Each Party hereby consents to service of process by registered mail at the address to which notices are to be given. Each Party agrees that its, his or her submission to jurisdiction and its, his or her consent to service of process by mail is made for the express benefit of each other Party. Final judgment against any Party in any such action, suit or proceeding may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit, action or proceeding on the judgment, or in any other manner provided by or pursuant to the laws of such other jurisdiction.

SECTION 3. STOCK ISSUABLE UNDER THE PLAN; MERGERS; SUBSTITUTION
(a) Stock Issuable. The maximum number of shares of Stock reserved and available for issuance under the Plan shall be 3,000,000 shares (the Initial Limit), subject to adjustment as provided in Section 3(b), plus on January 1, 2014 and each January 1 thereafter, the number of shares of Stock reserved and available for issuance under the Plan shall be cumulatively increased by four percent (4%) of the number of shares of Stock issued and outstanding on the immediately preceding December 31 (the Annual Increase). Subject to such overall limitation, the maximum aggregate number of shares of Stock that may be issued in the form of Incentive Stock Options shall not exceed the Initial Limit cumulatively increased on January 1, 2014 and on each January 1 thereafter by the lesser of the Annual Increase for such year or 1,500,000 shares of Stock, subject in all cases to adjustment as provided in Section 3(b). For purposes of the overall share limitation, the shares of Stock underlying any Awards under the Plan as well as the shares of Stock underlying any awards under the Companys 2010 Stock Option and Grant Plan that are forfeited, canceled, held back upon exercise of an Option or settlement of an Award to cover the exercise price or tax withholding, reacquired by the Company prior to vesting, satisfied without the issuance of Stock or otherwise terminated (other than by exercise) shall be added back to the shares of Stock available for issuance under the Plan. In the event the Company repurchases shares of Stock on the open market, such shares shall not be added to the shares of Stock available for issuance under the Plan. Subject to such overall limitations, shares of Stock may be issued up to such maximum number pursuant to any type or types of Award; provided, however, that Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights with respect to no more than 1,500,000 shares of Stock may be granted to any one individual grantee during any one calendar year period. The shares available for issuance under the Plan may be authorized but unissued shares of Stock or shares of Stock reacquired by the Company.
(b) Changes in Stock. Subject to Section 3(c) hereof, if, as a result of any reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or other similar change in the Companys capital stock, the outstanding shares of Stock are increased or decreased or are exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or other securities of the Company, or additional shares or new or different shares or other securities of the Company or other non-cash assets are distributed with respect to such shares of Stock or other securities, or, if, as a result of any merger or consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, the outstanding shares of Stock are converted into or exchanged for securities of the Company or any successor entity (or a parent or subsidiary thereof), the Administrator shall make an appropriate or proportionate adjustment in (i) the maximum number of shares reserved for issuance under the Plan, including the maximum number of shares that may be issued in the form of Incentive Stock Options, (ii) the number of Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights that can be granted to any one individual grantee and the maximum number of shares that may be granted under a Performance-Based Award, (iii) the number and kind of shares or other securities subject to any then outstanding Awards under the Plan, (iv) the repurchase price, if any, per share subject to each outstanding Restricted Stock Award, and (v) the exercise price for each share subject to any then outstanding Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights under the Plan, without changing the aggregate exercise price (i.e., the
6
exercise price multiplied by the number of Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights) as to which such Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights remain exercisable. The Administrator shall also make equitable or proportionate adjustments in the number of shares subject to outstanding Awards and the exercise price and the terms of outstanding Awards to take into consideration cash dividends paid other than in the ordinary course or any other extraordinary corporate event. The adjustment by the Administrator shall be final, binding and conclusive. No fractional shares of Stock shall be issued under the Plan resulting from any such adjustment, but the Administrator in its discretion may make a cash payment in lieu of fractional shares.
(c) Mergers and Other Transactions. Except as the Administrator may otherwise specify with respect to particular Awards in the relevant Award Certificate, in the case of and subject to the consummation of a Sale Event, the parties thereto may cause the assumption or continuation of Awards theretofore granted by the successor entity, or the substitution of such Awards with new Awards of the successor entity or parent thereof, with appropriate adjustment as to the number and kind of shares and, if appropriate, the per share exercise prices, as such parties shall agree. To the extent the parties to such Sale Event do not provide for the assumption, continuation or substitution of Awards, all Options and Stock Appreciation Rights that are not exercisable immediately prior to the effective time of the Sale Event shall become fully exercisable as of the effective time of the Sale Event, all other Awards with time-based vesting, conditions or restrictions shall become fully vested and nonforfeitable as of the effective time of the Sale Event and all Awards with conditions and restrictions relating to the attainment of performance goals may become vested and nonforfeitable in connection with a Sale Event in the Administrators discretion and upon the effective time of the Sale Event, the Plan and all outstanding Awards granted hereunder shall terminate. In the event of such termination, (i) the Company shall have the option (in its sole discretion) to make or provide for a cash payment to the grantees holding Options and Stock Appreciation Rights, in exchange for the cancellation thereof, in an amount equal to the difference between (A) the Sale Price multiplied by the number of shares of Stock subject to outstanding Options and Stock Appreciation Rights (to the extent then exercisable at prices not in excess of the Sale Price) and (B) the aggregate exercise price of all such outstanding Options and Stock Appreciation Rights; or (ii) each grantee shall be permitted, within a specified period of time prior to the consummation of the Sale Event as determined by the Administrator, to exercise all outstanding Options and Stock Appreciation Rights (to the extent then exercisable) held by such grantee.
(d) Substitute Awards. The Administrator may grant Awards under the Plan in substitution for stock and stock based awards held by employees, directors or other key persons of another corporation in connection with the merger or consolidation of the employing corporation with the Company or a Subsidiary or the acquisition by the Company or a Subsidiary of property or stock of the employing corporation. The Administrator may direct that the substitute awards be granted on such terms and conditions as the Administrator considers appropriate in the circumstances. Any substitute Awards granted under the Plan shall not count against the share limitation set forth in Section 3(a).
7
SECTION 4. ELIGIBILITY
Grantees under the Plan will be such full or part-time officers and other employees, Non-Employee Directors and key persons (including Consultants) of the Company and its Subsidiaries as are selected from time to time by the Administrator in its sole discretion.
SECTION 5. STOCK OPTIONS
Any Stock Option granted under the Plan shall be in such form as the Administrator may from time to time approve.
Stock Options granted under the Plan may be either Incentive Stock Options or Non-Qualified Stock Options. Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to employees of the Company or any Subsidiary that is a subsidiary corporation within the meaning of Section 424(f) of the Code. To the extent that any Option does not qualify as an Incentive Stock Option, it shall be deemed a Non-Qualified Stock Option.
Stock Options granted pursuant to this Section 5 shall be subject to the following terms and conditions and shall contain such additional terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, as the Administrator shall deem desirable. If the Administrator so determines, Stock Options may be granted in lieu of cash compensation at the optionees election, subject to such terms and conditions as the Administrator may establish.
(a) Exercise Price. The exercise price per share for the Stock covered by a Stock Option granted pursuant to this Section 5 shall be determined by the Administrator at the time of grant but shall not be less than 100 percent of the Fair Market Value on the date of grant. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option that is granted to a Ten Percent Owner, the option price of such Incentive Stock Option shall be not less than 110 percent of the Fair Market Value on the grant date.
(b) Option Term. The term of each Stock Option shall be fixed by the Administrator, but no Stock Option shall be exercisable more than ten years after the date the Stock Option is granted. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option that is granted to a Ten Percent Owner, the term of such Stock Option shall be no more than five years from the date of grant.
(c) Exercisability; Rights of a Stockholder. Stock Options shall become exercisable at such time or times, whether or not in installments, as shall be determined by the Administrator at or after the grant date. The Administrator may at any time accelerate the exercisability of all or any portion of any Stock Option. An optionee shall have the rights of a stockholder only as to shares acquired upon the exercise of a Stock Option and not as to unexercised Stock Options.
(d) Method of Exercise. Stock Options may be exercised in whole or in part, by giving written or electronic notice of exercise to the Company, specifying the number of shares to be purchased. Payment of the purchase price may be made by one or more of the following methods to the extent provided in the Option Award Certificate:
(i) In cash, by certified or bank check or other instrument acceptable to the Administrator;
8
(ii) Through the delivery (or attestation to the ownership) of shares of Stock that have been purchased by the optionee on the open market or that have been beneficially owned by the optionee for at least six months and that are not then subject to restrictions under any Company plan. Such surrendered shares shall be valued at Fair Market Value on the exercise date;
(iii) By the optionee delivering to the Company a properly executed exercise notice together with irrevocable instructions to a broker to promptly deliver to the Company cash or a check payable and acceptable to the Company for the purchase price; provided that in the event the optionee chooses to pay the purchase price as so provided, the optionee and the broker shall comply with such procedures and enter into such agreements of indemnity and other agreements as the Administrator shall prescribe as a condition of such payment procedure; or
(iv) With respect to Stock Options that are not Incentive Stock Options, by a net exercise arrangement pursuant to which the Company will reduce the number of shares of Stock issuable upon exercise by the largest whole number of shares with a Fair Market Value that does not exceed the aggregate exercise price.
Payment instruments will be received subject to collection. The transfer to the optionee on the records of the Company or of the transfer agent of the shares of Stock to be purchased pursuant to the exercise of a Stock Option will be contingent upon receipt from the optionee (or a purchaser acting in his stead in accordance with the provisions of the Stock Option) by the Company of the full purchase price for such shares and the fulfillment of any other requirements contained in the Option Award Certificate or applicable provisions of laws (including the satisfaction of any withholding taxes that the Company is obligated to withhold with respect to the optionee). In the event an optionee chooses to pay the purchase price by previously-owned shares of Stock through the attestation method, the number of shares of Stock transferred to the optionee upon the exercise of the Stock Option shall be net of the number of attested shares. In the event that the Company establishes, for itself or using the services of a third party, an automated system for the exercise of Stock Options, such as a system using an internet website or interactive voice response, then the paperless exercise of Stock Options may be permitted through the use of such an automated system.
(e) Annual Limit on Incentive Stock Options. To the extent required for incentive stock option treatment under Section 422 of the Code, the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the time of grant) of the shares of Stock with respect to which Incentive Stock Options granted under this Plan and any other plan of the Company or its parent and subsidiary corporations become exercisable for the first time by an optionee during any calendar year shall not exceed $100,000. To the extent that any Stock Option exceeds this limit, it shall constitute a Non-Qualified Stock Option.
SECTION 6. STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS
(a) Exercise Price of Stock Appreciation Rights. The exercise price of a Stock Appreciation Right shall not be less than 100 percent of the Fair Market Value of the Stock on the date of grant.
9
(b) Grant and Exercise of Stock Appreciation Rights. Stock Appreciation Rights may be granted by the Administrator independently of any Stock Option granted pursuant to Section 5 of the Plan.
(c) Terms and Conditions of Stock Appreciation Rights. Stock Appreciation Rights shall be subject to such terms and conditions as shall be determined from time to time by the Administrator. The term of a Stock Appreciation Right may not exceed ten years.
SECTION 7. RESTRICTED STOCK AWARDS
(a) Nature of Restricted Stock Awards. The Administrator shall determine the restrictions and conditions applicable to each Restricted Stock Award at the time of grant. Conditions may be based on continuing employment (or other service relationship) and/or achievement of pre-established performance goals and objectives. The terms and conditions of each such Award Certificate shall be determined by the Administrator, and such terms and conditions may differ among individual Awards and grantees.
(b) Rights as a Stockholder. Upon the grant of the Restricted Stock Award and payment of any applicable purchase price, a grantee shall have the rights of a stockholder with respect to the voting of the Restricted Stock and receipt of dividends; provided that if the lapse of restrictions with respect to the Restricted Stock Award is tied to the attainment of performance goals, any dividends paid by the Company during the performance period shall accrue and shall not be paid to the grantee until and to the extent the performance goals are met with respect to the Restricted Stock Award. Unless the Administrator shall otherwise determine, (i) uncertificated Restricted Stock shall be accompanied by a notation on the records of the Company or the transfer agent to the effect that they are subject to forfeiture until such Restricted Stock are vested as provided in Section 7(d) below, and (ii) certificated Restricted Stock shall remain in the possession of the Company until such Restricted Stock is vested as provided in Section 7(d) below, and the grantee shall be required, as a condition of the grant, to deliver to the Company such instruments of transfer as the Administrator may prescribe.
(c) Restrictions. Restricted Stock may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered or disposed of except as specifically provided herein or in the Restricted Stock Award Certificate. Except as may otherwise be provided by the Administrator either in the Award Certificate or, subject to Section 18 below, in writing after the Award is issued, if a grantees employment (or other service relationship) with the Company and its Subsidiaries terminates for any reason, any Restricted Stock that has not vested at the time of termination shall automatically and without any requirement of notice to such grantee from or other action by or on behalf of, the Company be deemed to have been reacquired by the Company at its original purchase price (if any) from such grantee or such grantees legal representative simultaneously with such termination of employment (or other service relationship), and thereafter shall cease to represent any ownership of the Company by the grantee or rights of the grantee as a stockholder. Following such deemed reacquisition of unvested Restricted Stock that are represented by physical certificates, a grantee shall surrender such certificates to the Company upon request without consideration.
10
(d) Vesting of Restricted Stock. The Administrator at the time of grant shall specify the date or dates and/or the attainment of pre-established performance goals, objectives and other conditions on which the non-transferability of the Restricted Stock and the Companys right of repurchase or forfeiture shall lapse. Subsequent to such date or dates and/or the attainment of such pre-established performance goals, objectives and other conditions, the shares on which all restrictions have lapsed shall no longer be Restricted Stock and shall be deemed vested. Except as may otherwise be provided by the Administrator either in the Award Certificate or, subject to Section 18 below, in writing after the Award is issued, a grantees rights in any shares of Restricted Stock that have not vested shall automatically terminate upon the grantees termination of employment (or other service relationship) with the Company and its Subsidiaries and such shares shall be subject to the provisions of Section 7(c) above.
SECTION 8. RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS
(a) Nature of Restricted Stock Units. The Administrator shall determine the restrictions and conditions applicable to each Restricted Stock Unit at the time of grant. Conditions may be based on continuing employment (or other service relationship) and/or achievement of pre-established performance goals and objectives. The terms and conditions of each such Award Certificate shall be determined by the Administrator, and such terms and conditions may differ among individual Awards and grantees. At the end of the deferral period, the Restricted Stock Units, to the extent vested, shall be settled in the form of shares of Stock. To the extent that an award of Restricted Stock Units is subject to Section 409A, it may contain such additional terms and conditions as the Administrator shall determine in its sole discretion in order for such Award to comply with the requirements of Section 409A.
(b) Election to Receive Restricted Stock Units in Lieu of Compensation. The Administrator may, in its sole discretion, permit a grantee to elect to receive a portion of future cash compensation otherwise due to such grantee in the form of an award of Restricted Stock Units. Any such election shall be made in writing and shall be delivered to the Company no later than the date specified by the Administrator and in accordance with Section 409A and such other rules and procedures established by the Administrator. Any such future cash compensation that the grantee elects to defer shall be converted to a fixed number of Restricted Stock Units based on the Fair Market Value of Stock on the date the compensation would otherwise have been paid to the grantee if such payment had not been deferred as provided herein. The Administrator shall have the sole right to determine whether and under what circumstances to permit such elections and to impose such limitations and other terms and conditions thereon as the Administrator deems appropriate. Any Restricted Stock Units that are elected to be received in lieu of cash compensation shall be fully vested, unless otherwise provided in the Award Certificate.
(c) Rights as a Stockholder. A grantee shall have the rights as a stockholder only as to shares of Stock acquired by the grantee upon settlement of Restricted Stock Units; provided, however, that the grantee may be credited with dividend equivalent rights with respect to the phantom stock units underlying his Restricted Stock Units, subject to such terms and conditions as the Administrator may determine.
11
(d) Termination. Except as may otherwise be provided by the Administrator either in the Award Certificate or, subject to Section 18 below, in writing after the Award is issued, a grantees right in all Restricted Stock Units that have not vested shall automatically terminate upon the grantees termination of employment (or cessation of service relationship) with the Company and its Subsidiaries for any reason.
SECTION 9. UNRESTRICTED STOCK AWARDS
Grant or Sale of Unrestricted Stock. The Administrator may, in its sole discretion, grant (or sell at par value or such higher purchase price determined by the Administrator) an Unrestricted Stock Award under the Plan. Unrestricted Stock Awards may be granted in respect of past services or other valid consideration, or in lieu of cash compensation due to such grantee.
SECTION 10. CASH-BASED AWARDS
Grant of Cash-Based Awards. The Administrator may, in its sole discretion, grant Cash-Based Awards to any grantee in such number or amount and upon such terms, and subject to such conditions, as the Administrator shall determine at the time of grant. The Administrator shall determine the maximum duration of the Cash-Based Award, the amount of cash to which the Cash-Based Award pertains, the conditions upon which the Cash-Based Award shall become vested or payable, and such other provisions as the Administrator shall determine. Each Cash-Based Award shall specify a cash-denominated payment amount, formula or payment ranges as determined by the Administrator. Payment, if any, with respect to a Cash-Based Award shall be made in accordance with the terms of the Award and may be made in cash or in shares of Stock, as the Administrator determines.
SECTION 11. PERFORMANCE SHARE AWARDS
(a) Nature of Performance Share Awards. The Administrator may, in its sole discretion, grant Performance Share Awards independent of, or in connection with, the granting of any other Award under the Plan. The Administrator shall determine whether and to whom Performance Share Awards shall be granted, the Performance Goals, the periods during which performance is to be measured, and such other limitations and conditions as the Administrator shall determine.
(b) Rights as a Stockholder. A grantee receiving a Performance Share Award shall have the rights of a stockholder only as to shares actually received by the grantee under the Plan and not with respect to shares subject to the Award but not actually received by the grantee. A grantee shall be entitled to receive shares of Stock under a Performance Share Award only upon satisfaction of all conditions specified in the Performance Share Award Certificate (or in a performance plan adopted by the Administrator).
(c) Termination. Except as may otherwise be provided by the Administrator either in the Award agreement or, subject to Section 18 below, in writing after the Award is issued, a grantees rights in all Performance Share Awards shall automatically terminate upon the grantees termination of employment (or cessation of service relationship) with the Company and its Subsidiaries for any reason.
12
SECTION 12. PERFORMANCE-BASED AWARDS TO COVERED EMPLOYEES
(a) Performance-Based Awards. Any employee or other key person providing services to the Company and who is selected by the Administrator may be granted one or more Performance-Based Awards in the form of a Restricted Stock Award, Restricted Stock Units, Performance Share Awards or Cash-Based Award payable upon the attainment of Performance Goals that are established by the Administrator and relate to one or more of the Performance Criteria, in each case on a specified date or dates or over any period or periods determined by the Administrator. The Administrator shall define in an objective fashion the manner of calculating the Performance Criteria it selects to use for any Performance Cycle. Depending on the Performance Criteria used to establish such Performance Goals, the Performance Goals may be expressed in terms of overall Company performance or the performance of a division, business unit, or an individual. The Administrator, in its discretion, may adjust or modify the calculation of Performance Goals for such Performance Cycle in order to prevent the dilution or enlargement of the rights of an individual (i) in the event of, or in anticipation of, any unusual or extraordinary corporate item, transaction, event or development, (ii) in recognition of, or in anticipation of, any other unusual or nonrecurring events affecting the Company, or the financial statements of the Company, or (iii) in response to, or in anticipation of, changes in applicable laws, regulations, accounting principles, or business conditions provided however, that the Administrator may not exercise such discretion in a manner that would increase the Performance-Based Award granted to a Covered Employee. Each Performance-Based Award shall comply with the provisions set forth below.
(b) Grant of Performance-Based Awards. With respect to each Performance-Based Award granted to a Covered Employee, the Administrator shall select, within the first 90 days of a Performance Cycle (or, if shorter, within the maximum period allowed under Section 162(m) of the Code) the Performance Criteria for such grant, and the Performance Goals with respect to each Performance Criterion (including a threshold level of performance below which no amount will become payable with respect to such Award). Each Performance-Based Award will specify the amount payable, or the formula for determining the amount payable, upon achievement of the various applicable performance targets. The Performance Criteria established by the Administrator may be (but need not be) different for each Performance Cycle and different Performance Goals may be applicable to Performance-Based Awards to different Covered Employees.
(c) Payment of Performance-Based Awards. Following the completion of a Performance Cycle, the Administrator shall meet to review and certify in writing whether, and to what extent, the Performance Goals for the Performance Cycle have been achieved and, if so, to also calculate and certify in writing the amount of the Performance-Based Awards earned for the Performance Cycle. The Administrator shall then determine the actual size of each Covered Employees Performance-Based Award, and, in doing so, may reduce or eliminate the amount of the Performance-Based Award for a Covered Employee if, in its sole judgment, such reduction or elimination is appropriate.
(d) Maximum Award Payable. The maximum Performance-Based Award payable to any one Covered Employee under the Plan for a Performance Cycle is 1,500,000 shares of Stock (subject to adjustment as provided in Section 3(b) hereof) or $2,000,000 in the case of a Performance-Based Award that is a Cash-Based Award.
13
SECTION 13. RESERVED
SECTION 14. TRANSFERABILITY OF AWARDS
(a) Transferability. Except as provided in Section 14(b) below, during a grantees lifetime, his or her Awards shall be exercisable only by the grantee, or by the grantees legal representative or guardian in the event of the grantees incapacity. No Awards shall be sold, assigned, transferred or otherwise encumbered or disposed of by a grantee other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to a domestic relations order. No Awards shall be subject, in whole or in part, to attachment, execution, or levy of any kind, and any purported transfer in violation hereof shall be null and void.
(b) Administrator Action. Notwithstanding Section 14(a), the Administrator, in its discretion, may provide either in the Award Certificate regarding a given Award or by subsequent written approval that the grantee (who is an employee or director) may transfer his or her Non-Qualified Options to his or her immediate family members, to trusts for the benefit of such family members, or to partnerships in which such family members are the only partners, provided that the transferee agrees in writing with the Company to be bound by all of the terms and conditions of this Plan and the applicable Award. In no event may an Award be transferred by a grantee for value.
(c) Family Member. For purposes of Section 14(b), family member shall mean a grantees child, stepchild, grandchild, parent, stepparent, grandparent, spouse, former spouse, sibling, niece, nephew, mother-in-law, father-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, brother-in-law, or sister-in-law, including adoptive relationships, any person sharing the grantees household (other than a tenant of the grantee), a trust in which these persons (or the grantee) have more than 50 percent of the beneficial interest, a foundation in which these persons (or the grantee) control the management of assets, and any other entity in which these persons (or the grantee) own more than 50 percent of the voting interests.
(d) Designation of Beneficiary. Each grantee to whom an Award has been made under the Plan may designate a beneficiary or beneficiaries to exercise any Award or receive any payment under any Award payable on or after the grantees death. Any such designation shall be on a form provided for that purpose by the Administrator and shall not be effective until received by the Administrator. If no beneficiary has been designated by a deceased grantee, or if the designated beneficiaries have predeceased the grantee, the beneficiary shall be the grantees estate.
SECTION 15. TAX WITHHOLDING
(a) Payment by Grantee. Each grantee shall, no later than the date as of which the value of an Award or of any Stock or other amounts received thereunder first becomes includable in the gross income of the grantee for Federal income tax purposes, pay to the Company, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Administrator regarding payment of, any Federal, state, or local taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld by the Company with
14
respect to such income. The Company and its Subsidiaries shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct any such taxes from any payment of any kind otherwise due to the grantee. The Companys obligation to deliver evidence of book entry (or stock certificates) to any grantee is subject to and conditioned on tax withholding obligations being satisfied by the grantee.
(b) Payment in Stock. Subject to approval by the Administrator, a grantee may elect to have the Companys minimum required tax withholding obligation satisfied, in whole or in part, by authorizing the Company to withhold from shares of Stock to be issued pursuant to any Award a number of shares with an aggregate Fair Market Value (as of the date the withholding is effected) that would satisfy the withholding amount due.
SECTION 16. SECTION 409A AWARDS
To the extent that any Award is determined to constitute nonqualified deferred compensation within the meaning of Section 409A (a 409A Award), the Award shall be subject to such additional rules and requirements as specified by the Administrator from time to time in order to comply with Section 409A. In this regard, if any amount under a 409A Award is payable upon a separation from service (within the meaning of Section 409A) to a grantee who is then considered a specified employee (within the meaning of Section 409A), then no such payment shall be made prior to the date that is the earlier of (i) six months and one day after the grantees separation from service, or (ii) the grantees death, but only to the extent such delay is necessary to prevent such payment from being subject to interest, penalties and/or additional tax imposed pursuant to Section 409A. Further, the settlement of any such Award may not be accelerated except to the extent permitted by Section 409A.
SECTION 17. TRANSFER, LEAVE OF ABSENCE, ETC.
For purposes of the Plan, the following events shall not be deemed a termination of employment:
(a) a transfer to the employment of the Company from a Subsidiary or from the Company to a Subsidiary, or from one Subsidiary to another; or
(b) an approved leave of absence for military service or sickness, or for any other purpose approved by the Company, if the employees right to re-employment is guaranteed either by a statute or by contract or under the policy pursuant to which the leave of absence was granted or if the Administrator otherwise so provides in writing.
SECTION 18. AMENDMENTS AND TERMINATION
The Board may, at any time, amend or discontinue the Plan and the Administrator may, at any time, amend or cancel any outstanding Award for the purpose of satisfying changes in law or for any other lawful purpose, but no such action shall adversely affect rights under any outstanding Award without the holders consent. The Administrator is specifically authorized to exercise its discretion to reduce the exercise price of outstanding Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights or effect the repricing of such Awards through cancellation and re-grants. To the extent required under the rules of any securities exchange or market system on which the
15
Stock is listed or to the extent determined by the Administrator to be required by the Code to ensure that Incentive Stock Options granted under the Plan are qualified under Section 422 of the Code, Plan amendments shall be subject to approval by the Company stockholders entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders. Nothing in this Section 18 shall limit the Administrators authority to take any action permitted pursuant to Section 3(b) or 3(c).
SECTION 19. STATUS OF PLAN
With respect to the portion of any Award that has not been exercised and any payments in cash, Stock or other consideration not received by a grantee, a grantee shall have no rights greater than those of a general creditor of the Company unless the Administrator shall otherwise expressly determine in connection with any Award or Awards. In its sole discretion, the Administrator may authorize the creation of trusts or other arrangements to meet the Companys obligations to deliver Stock or make payments with respect to Awards hereunder, provided that the existence of such trusts or other arrangements is consistent with the foregoing sentence.
SECTION 20. GENERAL PROVISIONS
(a) No Distribution. The Administrator may require each person acquiring Stock pursuant to an Award to represent to and agree with the Company in writing that such person is acquiring the shares without a view to distribution thereof.
(b) Delivery of Stock Certificates. Stock certificates to grantees under this Plan shall be deemed delivered for all purposes when the Company or a stock transfer agent of the Company shall have mailed such certificates in the United States mail, addressed to the grantee, at the grantees last known address on file with the Company. Uncertificated Stock shall be deemed delivered for all purposes when the Company or a Stock transfer agent of the Company shall have given to the grantee by electronic mail (with proof of receipt) or by United States mail, addressed to the grantee, at the grantees last known address on file with the Company, notice of issuance and recorded the issuance in its records (which may include electronic book entry records). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any certificates evidencing shares of Stock pursuant to the exercise of any Award, unless and until the Administrator has determined, with advice of counsel (to the extent the Administrator deems such advice necessary or advisable), that the issuance and delivery of such certificates is in compliance with all applicable laws, regulations of governmental authorities and, if applicable, the requirements of any exchange on which the shares of Stock are listed, quoted or traded. All Stock certificates delivered pursuant to the Plan shall be subject to any stop-transfer orders and other restrictions as the Administrator deems necessary or advisable to comply with federal, state or foreign jurisdiction, securities or other laws, rules and quotation system on which the Stock is listed, quoted or traded. The Administrator may place legends on any Stock certificate to reference restrictions applicable to the Stock. In addition to the terms and conditions provided herein, the Administrator may require that an individual make such reasonable covenants, agreements, and representations as the Administrator, in its discretion, deems necessary or advisable in order to comply with any such laws, regulations, or requirements. The Administrator shall have the right to require any individual to comply with any timing or other restrictions with respect to the settlement or exercise of any Award, including a window-period limitation, as may be imposed in the discretion of the Administrator.
16
(c) Stockholder Rights. Until Stock is deemed delivered in accordance with Section 20(b), no right to vote or receive dividends or any other rights of a stockholder will exist with respect to shares of Stock to be issued in connection with an Award, notwithstanding the exercise of a Stock Option or any other action by the grantee with respect to an Award.
(d) Other Compensation Arrangements; No Employment Rights. Nothing contained in this Plan shall prevent the Board from adopting other or additional compensation arrangements, including trusts, and such arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases. The adoption of this Plan and the grant of Awards do not confer upon any employee any right to continued employment with the Company or any Subsidiary.
(e) Trading Policy Restrictions. Option exercises and other Awards under the Plan shall be subject to the Companys insider trading policies and procedures, as in effect from time to time.
(f) Forfeiture of Awards under Sarbanes-Oxley Act. If the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement due to the material noncompliance of the Company, as a result of misconduct, with any financial reporting requirement under the securities laws, then any grantee who is one of the individuals subject to automatic forfeiture under Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 shall reimburse the Company for the amount of any Award received by such individual under the Plan during the 12-month period following the first public issuance or filing with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, as the case may be, of the financial document embodying such financial reporting requirement.
SECTION 21. EFFECTIVE DATE OF PLAN
This Plan shall become effective upon stockholder approval in accordance with applicable state law, the Companys bylaws and articles of incorporation, and applicable stock exchange rules or pursuant to written consent. No grants of Stock Options and other Awards may be made hereunder after the tenth anniversary of the Effective Date and no grants of Incentive Stock Options may be made hereunder after the tenth anniversary of the date the Plan is approved by the Board.
SECTION 22. GOVERNING LAW
This Plan and all Awards and actions taken thereunder shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of California, applied without regard to conflict of law principles.

This notice shall specify the number of Option Shares to be purchased.
Payment of the purchase price for the Option Shares may be made by one or more of the following methods: (i) in cash, by certified or bank check or other instrument acceptable to the Administrator; (ii) through the delivery (or attestation to the ownership) of shares of Stock that have been purchased by the Optionee on the open market or that are beneficially owned by the Optionee and are not then subject to any restrictions under any Company plan and that otherwise satisfy any holding periods as may be required by the Administrator; (iii) by the Optionee delivering to the Company a properly executed exercise notice together with irrevocable instructions to a broker to promptly deliver to the Company cash or a check payable and acceptable to the Company for the purchase price, provided that in the event the Optionee chooses to pay the purchase price as so provided, the Optionee and the broker shall comply with such procedures and enter into such agreements of indemnity and other agreements as the Administrator shall prescribe as a condition of such payment procedure; or (iv) a combination of (i), (ii) and (iii) above. Payment instruments will be received subject to collection.
The transfer to the Optionee on the records of the Company or of the transfer agent of the Option Shares will be contingent upon (i) the Companys receipt from the Optionee of the full purchase price for the Option Shares, as set forth above, (ii) the fulfillment of any other requirements contained herein or in the Plan or in any other agreement or provision of laws, and (iii) the receipt by the Company of any agreement, statement or other evidence that the Company may require to satisfy itself that the issuance of Stock to be purchased pursuant to the exercise of Stock Options under the Plan and any subsequent resale of the shares of Stock will be in compliance with applicable laws and regulations. In the event the Optionee chooses to pay the purchase price by previously-owned shares of Stock through the attestation method, the number of shares of Stock transferred to the Optionee upon the exercise of the Stock Option shall be net of the Shares attested to.
(b) The shares of Stock purchased upon exercise of this Stock Option shall be transferred to the Optionee on the records of the Company or of the transfer agent upon compliance to the satisfaction of the Administrator with all requirements under applicable laws or regulations in connection with such transfer and with the requirements hereof and of the Plan. The determination of the Administrator as to such compliance shall be final and binding on the Optionee. The Optionee shall not be deemed to be the holder of, or to have any of the rights of a holder with respect to, any shares of Stock subject to this Stock Option unless and until this Stock Option shall have been exercised pursuant to the terms hereof, the Company or the transfer agent shall have transferred the shares to the Optionee, and the Optionees name shall have been entered as the stockholder of record on the books of the Company. Thereupon, the Optionee shall have full voting, dividend and other ownership rights with respect to such shares of Stock.
2
(c) The minimum number of shares with respect to which this Stock Option may be exercised at any one time shall be 100 shares, unless the number of shares with respect to which this Stock Option is being exercised is the total number of shares subject to exercise under this Stock Option at the time.
(d) Notwithstanding any other provision hereof or of the Plan, no portion of this Stock Option shall be exercisable after the Expiration Date hereof.
3. Termination of Employment. If the Optionees employment by the Company or a Subsidiary (as defined in the Plan) is terminated, the period within which to exercise the Stock Option may be subject to earlier termination as set forth below.
(a) Termination Due to Death. If the Optionees employment terminates by reason of the Optionees death, any portion of this Stock Option outstanding on such date, to the extent exercisable on the date of death, may thereafter be exercised by the Optionees legal representative or legatee for a period of 12 months from the date of death or until the Expiration Date, if earlier. Any portion of this Stock Option that is not exercisable on the date of death shall terminate immediately and be of no further force or effect.
(b) Termination Due to Disability. If the Optionees employment terminates by reason of the Optionees disability (as determined by the Administrator), any portion of this Stock Option outstanding on such date, to the extent exercisable on the date of such disability, may thereafter be exercised by the Optionee for a period of 12 months from the date of disability or until the Expiration Date, if earlier. Any portion of this Stock Option that is not exercisable on the date of disability shall terminate immediately and be of no further force or effect.
(c) Termination for Cause. If the Optionees employment terminates for Cause, any portion of this Stock Option outstanding on such date shall terminate immediately and be of no further force and effect. For purposes hereof, Cause shall mean, unless otherwise provided in an employment agreement between the Company and the Optionee, a determination by the Administrator that the Optionee shall be dismissed as a result of (i) any material breach by the Optionee of any agreement between the Optionee and the Company; (ii) the conviction of, indictment for or plea of nolo contendere by the Optionee to a felony or a crime involving moral turpitude; or (iii) any material misconduct or willful and deliberate non-performance (other than by reason of disability) by the Optionee of the Optionees duties to the Company.
(d) Other Termination. If the Optionees employment terminates for any reason other than the Optionees death, the Optionees disability, or Cause, and unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, any portion of this Stock Option outstanding on such date may be exercised, to the extent exercisable on the date of termination, for a period of three months from the date of termination or until the Expiration Date, if earlier. Any portion of this Stock Option that is not exercisable on the date of termination shall terminate immediately and be of no further force or effect.
The Administrators determination of the reason for termination of the Optionees employment shall be conclusive and binding on the Optionee and his or her representatives or legatees.

4. Incorporation of Plan. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Stock Option shall be subject to and governed by all the terms and conditions of the Plan, including the powers of the Administrator set forth in Section 2(b) of the Plan. Capitalized terms in this Agreement shall have the meaning specified in the Plan, unless a different meaning is specified herein.
5. Transferability. This Agreement is personal to the Optionee, is non-assignable and is not transferable in any manner, by operation of law or otherwise, other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. This Stock Option is exercisable, during the Optionees lifetime, only by the Optionee, and thereafter, only by the Optionees legal representative or legatee.
6. Status of the Stock Option. This Stock Option is intended to qualify as an incentive stock option under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code), but the Company does not represent or warrant that this Stock Option qualifies as such. The Optionee should consult with his or her own tax advisors regarding the tax effects of this Stock Option and the requirements necessary to obtain favorable income tax treatment under Section 422 of the Code, including, but not limited to, holding period requirements. To the extent any portion of this Stock Option does not so qualify as an incentive stock option, such portion shall be deemed to be a non-qualified stock option. If the Optionee intends to dispose or does dispose (whether by sale, gift, transfer or otherwise) of any Option Shares within the one-year period beginning on the date after the transfer of such shares to him or her, or within the two-year period beginning on the day after the grant of this Stock Option, he or she will so notify the Company within 30 days after such disposition.
7. Tax Withholding. The Optionee shall, not later than the date as of which the exercise of this Stock Option becomes a taxable event for Federal income tax purposes, pay to the Company or make arrangements satisfactory to the Administrator for payment of any Federal, state, and local taxes required by law to be withheld on account of such taxable event. The Company shall have the authority to cause the minimum required tax withholding obligation to be satisfied, in whole or in part, by withholding from shares of Stock to be issued to the Optionee a number of shares of Stock with an aggregate Fair Market Value that would satisfy the minimum withholding amount due.
8. No Obligation to Continue Employment. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is obligated by or as a result of the Plan or this Agreement to continue the Optionee in employment and neither the Plan nor this Agreement shall interfere in any way with the right of the Company or any Subsidiary to terminate the employment of the Optionee at any time.
9. Integration. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to this Stock Option and supersedes all prior agreements and discussions between the parties concerning such subject matter.
10. Data Privacy Consent. In order to administer the Plan and this Agreement and to implement or structure future equity grants, the Company, its subsidiaries and affiliates and certain agents thereof (together, the Relevant Companies) may process any and all personal or professional data, including but not limited to Social Security or other identification number,
4
home address and telephone number, date of birth and other information that is necessary or desirable for the administration of the Plan and/or this Agreement (the Relevant Information).

The Company shall have the authority to cause the required minimum tax withholding obligation to be satisfied, in whole or in part, by withholding from shares of Stock to be issued to the Grantee a number of shares of Stock with an aggregate Fair Market Value that would satisfy the withholding amount due.

Exhibit 10.3
XOOM CORPORATION
SENIOR EXECUTIVE CASH INCENTIVE BONUS PLAN
1. | Purpose |
This Senior Executive Cash Incentive Bonus Plan (the Incentive Plan) is intended to provide an incentive for superior work and to motivate eligible executives of Xoom Corporation (the Company) and its subsidiaries toward even higher achievement and business results, to tie their goals and interests to those of the Company and its stockholders and to enable the Company to attract and retain highly qualified executives. The Incentive Plan is for the benefit of Covered Executives (as defined below).
2. | Covered Executives |
From time to time, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the Compensation Committee) may select certain key executives (the Covered Executives) to be eligible to receive bonuses hereunder. Participation in this Plan does not change the at will nature of a Covered Executives employment with the Company.
3. | Administration |
The Compensation Committee shall have the sole discretion and authority to administer and interpret the Incentive Plan.
4. | Bonus Determinations |
(a) Corporate Performance Goals. A Covered Executive may receive a bonus payment under the Incentive Plan based upon the attainment of one or more performance objectives that are established by the Compensation Committee and relate to financial and operational metrics with respect to the Company or any of its subsidiaries (the Corporate Performance Goals), including the following: cash flow (including, but not limited to, operating cash flow and free cash flow); revenue; corporate revenue; earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization; net income (loss) (either before or after interest, taxes, depreciation and/or amortization); changes in the market price of the Companys common stock; economic value-added; acquisitions or strategic transactions; operating income (loss); return on capital, assets, equity, or investment; stockholder returns; return on sales; gross or net profit levels; productivity; expense efficiency; margins; operating efficiency; customer satisfaction; working capital; earnings (loss) per share of the Companys common stock; bookings, new bookings or renewals; sales or market shares; number of customers, number of new customers or customer references; operating income and/or net annual recurring revenue, any of which may be (A) measured in absolute terms or compared to any incremental increase, (B) measured in terms of growth, (C) compared to another company or companies or to results of a peer group, (D) measured against the market as a whole and/or as compared to applicable market indices and/or (E) measured on a pre-tax or post-tax basis (if applicable). Further, any Corporate Performance Goals may be used to measure the performance of the Company as a whole or a business unit or
other segment of the Company, or one or more product lines or specific markets. The Corporate Performance Goals may differ from Covered Executive to Covered Executive.
(b) Calculation of Corporate Performance Goals. At the beginning of each applicable performance period, the Compensation Committee will determine whether any significant element(s) will be included in or excluded from the calculation of any Corporate Performance Goal with respect to any Covered Executive. In all other respects, Corporate Performance Goals will be calculated in accordance with the Companys financial statements, generally accepted accounting principles, or under a methodology established by the Compensation Committee at the beginning of the performance period and which is consistently applied with respect to a Corporate Performance Goal in the relevant performance period.
(c) Target; Minimum; Maximum. Each Corporate Performance Goal shall have a target (100 percent attainment of the Corporate Performance Goal) and may also have a minimum hurdle and/or a maximum amount.
(d) Bonus Requirements; Individual Goals. Except as otherwise set forth in this Section 4(d): (i) any bonuses paid to Covered Executives under the Incentive Plan shall be based upon objectively determinable bonus formulas that tie such bonuses to one or more performance targets relating to the Corporate Performance Goals, (ii) bonus formulas for Covered Executives shall be adopted in each performance period by the Compensation Committee and communicated to each Covered Executive at the beginning of each performance period and (iii) no bonuses shall be paid to Covered Executives unless and until the Compensation Committee makes a determination with respect to the attainment of the performance targets relating to the Corporate Performance Goals. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Compensation Committee may adjust bonuses payable under the Incentive Plan based on achievement of one or more individual performance objectives or pay bonuses (including, without limitation, discretionary bonuses) to Covered Executives under the Incentive Plan based on individual performance goals and/or upon such other terms and conditions as the Compensation Committee may in its discretion determine.
(e) Individual Target Bonuses. The Compensation Committee shall establish a target bonus opportunity for each Covered Executive for each performance period. For each Covered Executive, the Compensation Committee shall have the authority to apportion the target award so that a portion of the target award shall be tied to attainment of Corporate Performance Goals and a portion of the target award shall be tied to attainment of individual performance objectives.
(f) Employment Requirement. Subject to any additional terms contained in a written agreement between the Covered Executive and the Company, the payment of a bonus to a Covered Executive with respect to a performance period shall be conditioned upon the Covered Executives employment by the Company on the bonus payment date. If a Covered Executive was not employed for an entire performance period, the Compensation Committee may pro rate the bonus based on the number of days employed during such period.
5. | Timing of Payment |
(a) With respect to Corporate Performance Goals established and measured on a basis more frequently than annually (e.g., quarterly or semi-annually), the Corporate Performance
2
Goals will be measured at the end of each performance period after the Companys financial reports with respect to such period(s) have been published. If the Corporate Performance Goals and/or individual goals for such period are met, payments will be made as soon as practicable following the end of such period, but not later 74 days after the end of the fiscal year in which such performance period ends.
(b) With respect to Corporate Performance Goals established and measured on an annual or multi-year basis, Corporate Performance Goals will be measured as of the end of each such performance period (e.g., the end of each fiscal year) after the Companys financial reports with respect to such period(s) have been published. If the Corporate Performance Goals and/ or individual goals for any such period are met, bonus payments will be made as soon as practicable, but not later than 74 days after the end of the relevant fiscal year.
(c) For the avoidance of doubt, bonuses earned at any time in a fiscal year must be paid no later than 74 days after the last day of such fiscal year.
6. | Amendment and Termination |
The Company reserves the right to amend or terminate the Incentive Plan at any time in its sole discretion.

Exhibit 10.4
XOOM CORPORATION
Indemnification Agreement
This Indemnification Agreement (Agreement) is made as of by and between Xoom Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the Company), and (Indemnitee).
RECITALS
WHEREAS, the Company desires to attract and retain the services of highly qualified individuals, such as Indemnitee, to serve the Company;
WHEREAS, in order to induce Indemnitee to provide or continue to provide services to the Company, the Company wishes to provide for the indemnification of, and advancement of expenses to, Indemnitee to the maximum extent permitted by law;
WHEREAS, the Bylaws (as the same may be amended, restated or otherwise modified from time to time, the Bylaws) of the Company require indemnification of the officers and directors of the Company, and Indemnitee may also be entitled to indemnification pursuant to the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the DGCL);
WHEREAS, the Bylaws and the DGCL expressly provide that the indemnification provisions set forth therein are not exclusive, and thereby contemplate that contracts may be entered into between the Company and members of the board of directors, officers and other persons with respect to indemnification;
WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company (the Board) has determined that the increased difficulty in attracting and retaining highly qualified persons such as Indemnitee is detrimental to the best interests of the Companys stockholders;
WHEREAS, it is reasonable, prudent and necessary for the Company contractually to obligate itself to indemnify, and to advance expenses on behalf of, such persons to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, regardless of any amendment or revocation of the Certificate of Incorporation (as the same may be amended, restated or otherwise modified from time to time, the Charter) or the Bylaws, so that they will serve or continue to serve the Company free from undue concern that they will not be so indemnified;
WHEREAS, this Agreement is a supplement to and in furtherance of the indemnification provided in the Bylaws and any resolutions adopted pursuant thereto, and shall not be deemed a substitute therefor, nor to diminish or abrogate any rights of Indemnitee thereunder; and
[WHEREAS, Indemnitee has certain rights to indemnification and/or insurance provided by [Name of Fund/Sponsor] which Indemnitee and [Name of Fund/Sponsor] intend to be secondary to the primary obligation of the Company to indemnify Indemnitee as provided in this
Agreement, with the Companys acknowledgment and agreement to the foregoing being a material condition to Indemnitees willingness to serve or continue to serve on the Board.]1
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the covenants contained herein, the Company and Indemnitee do hereby covenant and agree as follows:
Section 1. Services to the Company. Indemnitee agrees to serve as a director or officer of the Company. Indemnitee may at any time and for any reason resign from such position (subject to any other contractual obligation or any obligation imposed by law), in which event the Company shall have no obligation under this Agreement to continue Indemnitee in such position. This Agreement shall not be deemed an employment contract between the Company (or any of its subsidiaries or any Enterprise) and Indemnitee.
Section 2. Definitions.
As used in this Agreement:
(a) Change in Control shall mean:
(i) the date any person, as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Act) (other than the Company, any of its subsidiaries, or any trustee, fiduciary or other person or entity holding securities under any employee benefit plan or trust of the Company or any of its subsidiaries), together with all affiliates and associates (as such terms are defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Act) of such person, becomes the beneficial owner (as such term is defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing 50 percent or more of the combined voting power of the Companys then outstanding securities having the right to vote in an election of the Board (Voting Securities) (in such case other than as a result of an acquisition of securities directly from the Company); or
(ii) the date a majority of the members of the Board is replaced during any 12-month period by directors whose appointment or election is not endorsed by a majority of the members of the Board before the date of the appointment or election; or
(iii) the date of consummation of (A) any consolidation or merger of the Company where the stockholders of the Company, immediately prior to the consolidation or merger, would not, immediately after the consolidation or merger, beneficially own (as such term is defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Act), directly or indirectly, shares representing in the aggregate more than 50 percent of the voting shares of the Company issuing cash or securities in the consolidation or merger (or of its ultimate parent corporation, if any), or (B) any sale or other transfer (in one transaction or a series of transactions contemplated or arranged by any party as a single plan) of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company.
1 Note: to include for directors affiliated with funds.
2
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Change in Control will not be deemed to have occurred for purposes of the foregoing clause (i) solely as the result of an acquisition of securities by the Company which, by reducing the number of shares of Voting Securities outstanding, increases the proportionate number of Voting Securities beneficially owned by any person to 50 percent or more of the combined voting power of all of the then outstanding Voting Securities; provided, however, that if any person referred to in this sentence will thereafter become the beneficial owner of any additional shares of Voting Securities (other than pursuant to a stock split, stock dividend, or similar transaction or as a result of an acquisition of securities directly from the Company) and immediately thereafter beneficially owns 50 percent or more of the combined voting power of all of the then outstanding Voting Securities, then a Change in Control will be deemed to have occurred for purposes of the foregoing clause (i).
(b) Corporate Status describes the status of a person as a current or former director or officer of the Company or current or former director, manager, officer, employee, agent or trustee of any other Enterprise which such person is or was serving at the request of the Company.
(c) Enforcement Expenses shall include all reasonable attorneys fees, court costs, transcript costs, fees of experts, travel expenses, duplicating costs, printing and binding costs, telephone charges, postage, delivery service fees, and all other out-of-pocket disbursements or expenses of the types customarily incurred in connection with an action to enforce indemnification or advancement rights, or an appeal from such action. Expenses, however, shall not include fees, salaries, wages or benefits owed to Indemnitee.
(d) Enterprise shall mean any corporation (other than the Company), partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan, limited liability company, or other legal entity of which Indemnitee is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, manager, officer, employee, agent or trustee.
(e) Expenses shall include all reasonable attorneys fees, court costs, transcript costs, fees of experts, travel expenses, duplicating costs, printing and binding costs, telephone charges, postage, delivery service fees, and all other out-of-pocket disbursements or expenses of the types customarily incurred in connection with prosecuting, defending, preparing to prosecute or defend, investigating, being or preparing to be a witness in, or otherwise participating in, a Proceeding or an appeal resulting from a Proceeding. Expenses, however, shall not include amounts paid in settlement by Indemnitee, the amount of judgments or fines against Indemnitee or fees, salaries, wages or benefits owed to Indemnitee.
(f) Independent Counsel means a law firm, or a partner (or, if applicable, member or shareholder) of such a law firm, that is experienced in matters of Delaware corporation law and neither presently is, nor in the past five (5) years has been, retained to represent: (i) the Company, any subsidiary of the Company, any Enterprise or Indemnitee in any matter material to any such party (other than with respect to matters concerning Indemnitee under this Agreement, or of other indemnitees under similar indemnification agreements); or (ii) any other party to the Proceeding giving rise to a claim for indemnification hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term Independent Counsel shall not include any person
3
who, under the applicable standards of professional conduct then prevailing, would have a conflict of interest in representing either the Company or Indemnitee in an action to determine Indemnitees rights under this Agreement. The Company agrees to pay the reasonable fees and expenses of the Independent Counsel referred to above and to fully indemnify such counsel against any and all expenses, claims, liabilities and damages arising out of or relating to this Agreement or its engagement pursuant hereto.
(g) The term Proceeding shall include any threatened, pending or completed action, suit, arbitration, alternate dispute resolution mechanism, investigation, inquiry, administrative hearing or any other actual, threatened or completed proceeding, whether brought in the right of the Company or otherwise and whether of a civil, criminal, administrative, regulatory or investigative nature, and whether formal or informal, in which Indemnitee was, is or will be involved as a party or otherwise by reason of the fact that Indemnitee is or was a director or officer of the Company or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, manager, officer, employee, agent or trustee of any Enterprise or by reason of any action taken by Indemnitee or of any action taken on his or her part while acting as a director or officer of the Company or while serving at the request of the Company as a director, manager, officer, employee, agent or trustee of any Enterprise, in each case whether or not serving in such capacity at the time any liability or expense is incurred for which indemnification, reimbursement or advancement of expenses can be provided under this Agreement; provided, however, that the term Proceeding shall not include any action, suit or arbitration, or part thereof, initiated by Indemnitee to enforce Indemnitees rights under this Agreement as provided for in Section 12(a) of this Agreement.
Section 3. Indemnity in Third-Party Proceedings. The Company shall indemnify Indemnitee to the extent set forth in this Section 3 if Indemnitee is, or is threatened to be made, a party to or a participant in any Proceeding, other than a Proceeding by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor. Pursuant to this Section 3, Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all Expenses, judgments, fines, penalties, excise taxes, and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on his or her behalf in connection with such Proceeding or any claim, issue or matter therein, if Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company and, in the case of a criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.
Section 4. Indemnity in Proceedings by or in the Right of the Company. The Company shall indemnify Indemnitee to the extent set forth in this Section 4 if Indemnitee is, or is threatened to be made, a party to or a participant in any Proceeding by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor. Pursuant to this Section 4, Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or her or on his or her behalf in connection with such Proceeding or any claim, issue or matter therein, if Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company. No indemnification for Expenses shall be made under this Section 4 in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which Indemnitee shall have been finally adjudged by a court to be liable to the Company, unless and only to the extent that the Delaware Court of Chancery (the Delaware Court) shall determine upon application that, despite the

adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, Indemnitee is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification for such expenses as the Delaware Court shall deem proper.
Section 5. Indemnification for Expenses of a Party Who is Wholly or Partly Successful. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement and except as provided in Section 7, to the extent that Indemnitee is a party to or a participant in any Proceeding and is successful in such Proceeding or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection therewith. If Indemnitee is not wholly successful in such Proceeding but is successful as to one or more but less than all claims, issues or matters in such Proceeding, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or her or on his or her behalf in connection with each successfully resolved claim, issue or matter. For purposes of this Section and without limitation, the termination of any claim, issue or matter in such a Proceeding by dismissal, with or without prejudice, shall be deemed to be a successful result as to such claim, issue or matter.
Section 6. Reimbursement for Expenses of a Witness or in Response to a Subpoena. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to the extent that Indemnitee, by reason of his or her Corporate Status, (i) is a witness in any Proceeding to which Indemnitee is not a party and is not threatened to be made a party or (ii) receives a subpoena with respect to any Proceeding to which Indemnitee is not a party and is not threatened to be made a party, the Company shall reimburse Indemnitee for all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or her or on his or her behalf in connection therewith.
Section 7. Exclusions. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall not be obligated under this Agreement:
(a) to indemnify for amounts otherwise indemnifiable hereunder (or for which advancement is provided hereunder) if and to the extent that Indemnitee has otherwise actually received such amounts under any insurance policy, contract, agreement or otherwise[; provided that the foregoing shall not affect the rights of Indemnitee or the Fund Indemnitors as set forth in Section 14(c)]2;
(b) to indemnify for an accounting of profits made from the purchase and sale (or sale and purchase) by Indemnitee of securities of the Company within the meaning of Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or similar provisions of state statutory law or common law;
(c) to indemnify for any reimbursement of, or payment to, the Company by Indemnitee of any bonus or other incentive-based or equity-based compensation or of any profits realized by Indemnitee from the sale of securities of the Company pursuant to Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (SOX) or any formal policy of the Company adopted by the Board (or a committee thereof), or any other remuneration paid to Indemnitee if it shall be
2 | Note: to include for directors affiliated with funds. |
5
determined by a final judgment or other final adjudication that such remuneration was in violation of law;
(d) to indemnify with respect to any Proceeding, or part thereof, brought by Indemnitee against the Company, any legal entity which it controls, any director or officer thereof or any third party, unless (i) the Board has consented to the initiation of such Proceeding or part thereof and (ii) the Company provides the indemnification, in its sole discretion, pursuant to the powers vested in the Company under applicable law; provided, however, that this Section 7(d) shall not apply to counterclaims or affirmative defenses asserted by Indemnitee in an action brought against Indemnitee; or
(e) to provide any indemnification or advancement of expenses that is prohibited by applicable law (as such law exists at the time payment would otherwise be required pursuant to this Agreement).
Section 8. Advancement of Expenses. Subject to Section 9(b), the Company shall advance, to the extent not prohibited by law, the Expenses incurred by Indemnitee in connection with any Proceeding, and such advancement shall be made within thirty (30) days after the receipt by the Company of a statement or statements requesting such advances (which shall include invoices received by Indemnitee in connection with such Expenses but, in the case of invoices in connection with legal services, any references to legal work performed or to expenditures made that would cause Indemnitee to waive any privilege accorded by applicable law shall not be included with the invoice) from time to time, whether prior to or after final disposition of any Proceeding. Advances shall be unsecured and interest free. Advances shall be made without regard to Indemnitees ability to repay the expenses and without regard to Indemnitees ultimate entitlement to indemnification under the other provisions of this Agreement. Indemnitee shall qualify for advances upon the execution and delivery to the Company of an undertaking to repay the advance if and to the extent it is ultimately determined that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A. The right to advances under this paragraph shall in all events continue until final disposition of any Proceeding, including any appeal therein. Nothing in this Section 8 shall limit Indemnitees right to advancement pursuant to Section 12(e) of this Agreement.
Section 9. Procedure for Notification and Defense of Claim.
(a) To obtain indemnification under this Agreement, Indemnitee shall submit to the Company a written request therefor specifying the basis for the claim, the amounts for which Indemnitee is seeking payment under this Agreement, and all documentation related thereto as reasonably requested by the Company.
(b) In the event that the Company shall be obligated hereunder to provide indemnification for or make any advancement of Expenses with respect to any Proceeding, the Company shall be entitled to assume the defense of such Proceeding, or any claim, issue or matter therein, with counsel approved by Indemnitee (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) upon the delivery to Indemnitee of written notice of the Companys election to do so. After delivery of such notice, approval of such counsel by Indemnitee and the retention
6
of such counsel by the Company, the Company will not be liable to Indemnitee under this Agreement for any fees or expenses of separate counsel subsequently employed by or on behalf of Indemnitee with respect to the same Proceeding; provided that (i) Indemnitee shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such Proceeding at Indemnitees expense and (ii) if (A) the employment of separate counsel by Indemnitee has been previously authorized by the Company, (B) Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded that there may be a conflict of interest between the Company and Indemnitee in the conduct of such defense, or (C) the Company shall not continue to retain such counsel to defend such Proceeding, then the reasonable fees and expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee with respect to his or her separate counsel shall be Expenses hereunder.
(c) In the event that the Company does not assume the defense in a Proceeding pursuant to paragraph (b) above, then the Company will be entitled to participate in the Proceeding at its own expense.
(d) The Company shall not be liable to indemnify Indemnitee under this Agreement for any amounts paid in settlement of any Proceeding effected without its prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of Indemnitee (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), enter into any settlement which (i) includes an admission of fault of Indemnitee, any non-monetary remedy imposed on Indemnitee or any monetary damages for which Indemnitee is not wholly and actually indemnified hereunder or (ii) with respect to any Proceeding with respect to which Indemnitee may be or is made a party or may be otherwise entitled to seek indemnification hereunder, does not include the full release of Indemnitee from all liability in respect of such Proceeding.
Section 10. Procedure Upon Application for Indemnification.
(a) To the extent that Indemnitee shall have been successful on the merits in any Proceeding to which it is a party or a participant or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, no determination shall be required to be made with respect to Indemnitees entitlement to indemnification hereunder. In all other cases, a determination with respect to Indemnitees entitlement to indemnification hereunder shall be made in the specific case by one of the following methods: (x) if a Change in Control shall have occurred, (i) by Independent Counsel in a written opinion to the Board or (ii) if the Indemnitee so requests in writing, by a majority vote of the disinterested directors, even though less than a quorum; or (y) if a Change in Control shall not have occurred: (i) by a majority vote of the disinterested directors, even though less than a quorum; (ii) by a committee of disinterested directors designated by a majority vote of the disinterested directors, even though less than a quorum; (iii) if there are no disinterested directors or if the disinterested directors so direct, by Independent Counsel in a written opinion to the Board; or (iv) if so directed by the Board, by the stockholders of the Company. For purposes hereof, disinterested directors are those members of the Board who are not parties to the action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification is sought. In the case that such determination is made by Independent Counsel, a copy of Independent Counsels written opinion shall be delivered to Indemnitee and, if it is so determined that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, payment to Indemnitee shall be made within thirty (30) days after such
7
determination. Indemnitee shall cooperate with the Independent Counsel or the Company, as applicable, in making such determination with respect to Indemnitees entitlement to indemnification, including providing to such counsel or the Company, upon reasonable advance request, any documentation or information which is not privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure and which is reasonably available to Indemnitee and reasonably necessary to such determination. Any out-of-pocket costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys fees and disbursements) actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in so cooperating with the Independent Counsel or the Company shall be borne by the Company (irrespective of the determination as to Indemnitees entitlement to indemnification) and the Company hereby indemnifies and agrees to hold Indemnitee harmless therefrom.
(b) If the determination of entitlement to indemnification is to be made by Independent Counsel pursuant to Section 10(a), the Independent Counsel shall be selected by the Board if a Change in Control shall not have occurred or, if a Change in Control shall have occurred, by Indemnitee. Indemnitee or the Company, as the case may be, may, within ten (10) days after written notice of such selection, deliver to the Company or Indemnitee, as the case may be, a written objection to such selection; provided, however, that such objection may be asserted only on the ground that the Independent Counsel so selected does not meet the requirements of Independent Counsel as defined in Section 2 of this Agreement, and the objection shall set forth with particularity the factual basis of such assertion. Absent a proper and timely objection, the person so selected shall act as Independent Counsel. If such written objection is so made and substantiated, the Independent Counsel so selected may not serve as Independent Counsel unless and until such objection is withdrawn or the Delaware Court has determined that such objection is without merit. If, within twenty (20) days after the later of (i) submission by Indemnitee of a written request for indemnification pursuant to Section 9(a), and (ii) the final disposition of the Proceeding, including any appeal therein, no Independent Counsel shall have been selected without objection, either Indemnitee or the Company may petition the Delaware Court for resolution of any objection which shall have been made by Indemnitee or the Company to the selection of Independent Counsel and/or for the appointment as Independent Counsel of a person selected by the court or by such other person as the court shall designate. The person with respect to whom all objections are so resolved or the person so appointed shall act as Independent Counsel under Section 10(a) hereof. Upon the due commencement of any judicial proceeding or arbitration pursuant to Section 12(a) of this Agreement, Independent Counsel shall be discharged and relieved of any further responsibility in such capacity (subject to the applicable standards of professional conduct then prevailing).
Section 11. Presumptions and Effect of Certain Proceedings.
(a) To the extent permitted by applicable law, in making a determination with respect to entitlement to indemnification hereunder, it shall be presumed that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement if Indemnitee has submitted a request for indemnification in accordance with Section 9(a) of this Agreement, and the Company shall have the burden of proof to overcome that presumption in connection with the making of any determination contrary to that presumption. Neither (i) the failure of the Company or of Independent Counsel to have made a determination prior to the commencement of any action pursuant to this Agreement that indemnification is proper in the circumstances because Indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct, nor (ii) an actual determination by the
8
Company or by Independent Counsel that Indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that Indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct.
(b) The termination of any Proceeding or of any claim, issue or matter therein, by judgment, order, settlement or conviction, or upon a plea of guilty, nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not (except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement) of itself adversely affect the right of Indemnitee to indemnification or create a presumption that Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company or, with respect to any criminal Proceeding, that Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.
(c) The knowledge and/or actions, or failure to act, of any director, manager, officer, employee, agent or trustee of the Company, any subsidiary of the Company, or any Enterprise shall not be imputed to Indemnitee for purposes of determining the right to indemnification under this Agreement.
Section 12. Remedies of Indemnitee.
(a) Subject to Section 12(f), in the event that (i) a determination is made pursuant to Section 10 of this Agreement that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, (ii) advancement of Expenses is not timely made pursuant to Section 8 of this Agreement, (iii) no determination of entitlement to indemnification shall have been made pursuant to Section 10(a) of this Agreement within sixty (60) days after receipt by the Company of the request for indemnification for which a determination is to be made other than by Independent Counsel, (iv) payment of indemnification or reimbursement of expenses is not made pursuant to Section 5 or 6 or the last sentence of Section 10(a) of this Agreement within thirty (30) days after receipt by the Company of a written request therefor (which shall include any invoices received by Indemnitee but, in the case of invoices in connection with legal services, any references to legal work performed or to expenditures made that would cause Indemnitee to waive any privilege accorded by applicable law shall not be included with the invoice) or (v) payment of indemnification pursuant to Section 3 or 4 of this Agreement is not made within thirty (30) days after a determination has been made that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, Indemnitee shall be entitled to an adjudication by the Delaware Court of his or her entitlement to such indemnification or advancement. Alternatively, Indemnitee, at his or her option, may seek an award in arbitration to be conducted by a single arbitrator pursuant to the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association. Indemnitee shall commence such proceeding seeking an adjudication or an award in arbitration within 180 days following the date on which Indemnitee first has the right to commence such proceeding pursuant to this Section 12(a); provided, however, that the foregoing time limitation shall not apply in respect of a proceeding brought by Indemnitee to enforce his or her rights under Section 5 of this Agreement. The Company shall not oppose Indemnitees right to seek any such adjudication or award in arbitration.
(b) In the event that a determination shall have been made pursuant to Section 10(a) of this Agreement that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification, any judicial
9
proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 12 shall be conducted in all respects as a de novo trial, or arbitration, on the merits and Indemnitee shall not be prejudiced by reason of that adverse determination. In any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 12, the Company shall have the burden of proving Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification or advancement, as the case may be.
(c) If Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 10(a) of this Agreement, the Company shall be bound by such provision and/or determination in any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 12, absent (i) a misstatement by Indemnitee of a material fact, or an omission of a material fact necessary to make Indemnitees statement not materially misleading, in connection with the request for indemnification, or (ii) a prohibition of such indemnification under applicable law.
(d) The Company shall be precluded from asserting in any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 12 that the procedures and presumptions of this Agreement are not valid, binding and enforceable and shall stipulate in any such court or before any such arbitrator that the Company is bound by all the provisions of this Agreement.
(e) The Company shall indemnify Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by law against any and all Enforcement Expenses and, if requested by Indemnitee, shall (within thirty (30) days after receipt by the Company of a written request therefor) advance, to the extent not prohibited by law, such Enforcement Expenses to Indemnitee, which are incurred by Indemnitee in connection with any action brought by Indemnitee for indemnification or advancement from the Company under this Agreement or under any directors and officers liability insurance policies maintained by the Company in the suit for which indemnification or advancement is being sought. Such written request for advancement shall include invoices received by Indemnitee in connection with such Enforcement Expenses but, in the case of invoices in connection with legal services, any references to legal work performed or to expenditures made that would cause Indemnitee to waive any privilege accorded by applicable law shall not be included with the invoice.
(f) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no determination as to entitlement to indemnification under this Agreement shall be required to be made prior to the final disposition of the Proceeding, including any appeal therein.
Section 13. Non-exclusivity; Survival of Rights; Insurance; [Primacy of Indemnification;]3 Subrogation.
(a) The rights of indemnification and to receive advancement as provided by this Agreement shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which Indemnitee may at any time be entitled under applicable law, the Charter, the Bylaws, any agreement, a vote of stockholders or a resolution of directors, or otherwise. No amendment, alteration or repeal of this Agreement or of any provision hereof shall limit or restrict any right of Indemnitee under this Agreement in respect of any action taken or omitted by such Indemnitee in his or her
3 | Note: to include for directors affiliated with funds. |
10
Corporate Status prior to such amendment, alteration or repeal. To the extent that a change in Delaware law, whether by statute or judicial decision, permits greater indemnification or advancement than would be afforded currently under the Charter, Bylaws and this Agreement, it is the intent of the parties hereto that Indemnitee shall enjoy by this Agreement the greater benefits so afforded by such change. No right or remedy herein conferred is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every other right and remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other right or remedy.
(b) To the extent that the Company maintains an insurance policy or policies providing liability insurance for directors, managers, officers, employees, agents or trustees of the Company or of any other Enterprise, Indemnitee shall be covered by such policy or policies in accordance with its or their terms to the maximum extent of the coverage available for any such director, manager, officer, employee, agent or trustee under such policy or policies. If, at the time of the receipt of a notice of a claim pursuant to the terms hereof, the Company has director and officer liability insurance in effect, the Company shall give prompt notice of the commencement of such proceeding to the insurers in accordance with the procedures set forth in the respective policies. The Company shall thereafter take all necessary or desirable action to cause such insurers to pay, on behalf of Indemnitee, all amounts payable as a result of such proceeding in accordance with the terms of such policies.
(c) [The Company hereby acknowledges that Indemnitee has certain rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and/or insurance provided by [Name of Fund/Sponsor] and certain of its affiliates (collectively, the Fund Indemnitors). The Company hereby agrees (i) that it is the indemnitor of first resort (i.e., its obligations to Indemnitee are primary and any obligation of the Fund Indemnitors to advance expenses or to provide indemnification for the same expenses or liabilities incurred by Indemnitee are secondary), (ii) that it shall be required to advance the full amount of expenses incurred by Indemnitee and shall be liable for the full amount of all Expenses, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement to the extent legally permitted and as required by the terms of this Agreement and the Charter and/or Bylaws (or any other agreement between the Company and Indemnitee), without regard to any rights Indemnitee may have against the Fund Indemnitors, and (iii) that it irrevocably waives, relinquishes and releases the Fund Indemnitors from any and all claims against the Fund Indemnitors for contribution, subrogation or any other recovery of any kind in respect thereof. The Company further agrees that no advancement or payment by the Fund Indemnitors on behalf of Indemnitee with respect to any claim for which Indemnitee has sought indemnification from the Company shall affect the foregoing and the Fund Indemnitors shall have a right of contribution and/or be subrogated to the extent of such advancement or payment to all of the rights of recovery of Indemnitee against the Company. The Company and Indemnitee agree that the Fund Indemnitors are express third party beneficiaries of the terms of this Section 8(c).]4
4 | Note: to include for directors affiliated with funds. |
11
(d) [Except as provided in paragraph (c) above,] [I/i]n the event of any payment under this Agreement, the Company shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of Indemnitee [(other than against the Fund Indemnitors)], who shall execute all papers required and take all action necessary to secure such rights, including execution of such documents as are necessary to enable the Company to bring suit to enforce such rights.
(e) [Except as provided in paragraph (c) above,] [T/t]he Companys obligation to provide indemnification or advancement hereunder to Indemnitee who is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, manager, officer, employee, agent or trustee of any other Enterprise shall be reduced by any amount Indemnitee has actually received as indemnification or advancement from such other Enterprise.
Section 14. Duration of Agreement. This Agreement shall continue until and terminate upon the later of: (a) ten (10) years after the date that Indemnitee shall have ceased to serve as a director or officer of the Company or (b) one (1) year after the final termination of any Proceeding, including any appeal, then pending in respect of which Indemnitee is granted rights of indemnification or advancement hereunder and of any proceeding commenced by Indemnitee pursuant to Section 12 of this Agreement relating thereto. This Agreement shall be binding upon the Company and its successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of Indemnitee and his or her heirs, executors and administrators. The Company shall require and cause any successor (whether direct or indirect by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all, substantially all or a substantial part, of the business and/or assets of the Company, by written agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Indemnitee, expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform if no such succession had taken place.
Section 15. Severability. If any provision or provisions of this Agreement shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever: (a) the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, each portion of any section of this Agreement containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that is not itself invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and shall remain enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law; (b) such provision or provisions shall be deemed reformed to the extent necessary to conform to applicable law and to give the maximum effect to the intent of the parties hereto; and (c) to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, each portion of any section of this Agreement containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that is not itself invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall be construed so as to give effect to the intent manifested thereby.
Section 16. Enforcement.
(a) The Company expressly confirms and agrees that it has entered into this Agreement and assumed the obligations imposed on it hereby in order to induce Indemnitee to serve or continue to serve as a director or officer of the Company, and the Company acknowledges that Indemnitee is relying upon this Agreement in serving as a director or officer of the Company.
12
(b) This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, oral, written and implied, between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof; provided, however, that this Agreement is a supplement to and in furtherance of the Charter, the Bylaws and applicable law, and shall not be deemed a substitute therefor, nor to diminish or abrogate any rights of Indemnitee thereunder.
Section 17. Modification and Waiver. No supplement, modification or amendment, or waiver of any provision, of this Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing by the parties thereto. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of any other provisions of this Agreement nor shall any waiver constitute a continuing waiver. No supplement, modification or amendment of this Agreement or of any provision hereof shall limit or restrict any right of Indemnitee under this Agreement in respect of any action taken or omitted by such Indemnitee prior to such supplement, modification or amendment.
Section 18. Notice by Indemnitee. Indemnitee agrees promptly to notify the Company in writing upon being served with any summons, citation, subpoena, complaint, indictment, information or other document relating to any Proceeding or matter which may be subject to indemnification, reimbursement or advancement as provided hereunder. The failure of Indemnitee to so notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of any obligation which it may have to Indemnitee under this Agreement or otherwise.

All notices, requests, demands and other communications under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if (a) delivered by hand and receipted for by the party to whom said notice or other communication shall have been directed, (b) mailed by certified or registered mail with postage prepaid, on the third business day after the date on which it is so mailed, (c) mailed by reputable overnight courier and receipted for by the party to whom said notice or other communication shall have been directed or (d) sent by facsimile transmission, with receipt of oral confirmation that such transmission has been received:

Section 20. Contribution. To the fullest extent permissible under applicable law, if the indemnification provided for in this Agreement is unavailable to Indemnitee for any reason whatsoever, the Company, in lieu of indemnifying Indemnitee, shall contribute to the amount incurred by Indemnitee, whether for judgments, fines, penalties, excise taxes, amounts paid or to
13
be paid in settlement and/or for Expenses, in connection with any Proceeding in such proportion as is deemed fair and reasonable in light of all of the circumstances in order to reflect (i) the relative benefits received by the Company and Indemnitee in connection with the event(s) and/or transaction(s) giving rise to such Proceeding; and/or (ii) the relative fault of the Company (and its directors, officers, employees and agents) and Indemnitee in connection with such event(s) and/or transactions.
Section 21. Internal Revenue Code Section 409A. The Company intends for this Agreement to comply with the Indemnification exception under Section 1.409A-1(b)(10) of the regulations promulgated under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code), which provides that indemnification of, or the purchase of an insurance policy providing for payments of, all or part of the expenses incurred or damages paid or payable by the Indemnitee with respect to a bona fide claim against the Indemnitee or the Company do not provide for a deferral of compensation, subject to Section 409A of the Code, where such claim is based on actions or failures to act by the Indemnitee in his capacity as a service provider of the Company. The parties intend that this Agreement be interpreted and construed with such intent.
Section 22. Applicable Law and Consent to Jurisdiction. This Agreement and the legal relations among the parties shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict of laws rules. Except with respect to any arbitration commenced by Indemnitee pursuant to Section 12(a) of this Agreement, the Company and Indemnitee hereby irrevocably and unconditionally (i) agree that any action or proceeding arising out of or in connection with this Agreement shall be brought only in the Delaware Court, and not in any other state or federal court in the United States of America or any court in any other country, (ii) consent to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Delaware Court for purposes of any action or proceeding arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, (iii) consent to service of process at the address set forth in Section 19 of this Agreement with the same legal force and validity as if served upon such party personally within the State of Delaware, (iv) waive any objection to the laying of venue of any such action or proceeding in the Delaware Court, and (v) waive, and agree not to plead or to make, any claim that any such action or proceeding brought in the Delaware Court has been brought in an improper or inconvenient forum.

This Executive Agreement (Agreement) is made as of the 27th day of November, 2012, between Xoom Corporation, a California corporation (the Company), and John Kunze (the Executive) (together the Parties).
WHEREAS, the Company and the Executive previously entered into other legally binding agreements including, without limitation, an Executive Agreement with Xoom Corporation dated February 15, 2011 (the Prior Agreement), an Employee Proprietary Information and Invention Assignment Agreement dated August 16, 2006 (the Proprietary Information Agreement), and a Nondisclosure Agreement (the Nondisclosure Agreement); and
WHEREAS, the Parties desire to replace the Prior Agreement in its entirety with this Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

(a) Base Salary. The Executives base salary shall be the annual base salary paid to the Executive by the Company in effect on the date hereof. The Executives base salary shall be reviewed annually by the Companys Board of Directors (the Board) or the Boards Compensation Committee (Compensation Committee) and is subject to increase but not decrease except for an across-the-board salary reduction affecting all or substantially all senior executives of the Company.

The Company may terminate the Executives employment if he is disabled (as determined under the Companys long-term disability plan) in a manner that renders the Executive unable to perform the essential functions of his then existing position or positions under this Agreement with or without reasonable accommodation for a period of six months or more. Nothing in this Section 3(b) shall be construed to waive the Executives rights, if any, under existing law including, without limitation, the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993, 29 U.S.C. §2601 et seq. and the Americans with Disabilities Act, 42 U.S.C. §12101 et seq.

(d) Termination by the Company Without Cause. The Company may terminate the Executives employment hereunder at any time without Cause. Any termination by the Company of the Executives employment under this Agreement which does not constitute a termination for Cause under Section 3(c) and does not result from the death or disability of the Executive under Section 3(a) or (b) shall be deemed a termination without Cause.

For purposes of this Agreement, Good Reason shall mean that the Executive has complied with the Good Reason Process (hereinafter defined) following the occurrence of any of the following events: (i) a demotion or any material diminution of the Executives position, authority, duties or responsibilities and which shall include (but not be limited to) the Executive having a position, authority, duties or responsibilities after a Change in Control with respect to a division or line of business, rather than a substantially comparable position, authority, duties or responsibilities with respect to the Companys successor or acquirer, (ii) a requirement that the Executive report to work more than 30 miles from the Companys existing headquarters (not including normal business travel required of the Executives position and which is substantially comparable to the business travel historically required of the Executive); (iii) a material reduction in the Executives Base Salary, bonus opportunity or benefits, except for an across-the-board reduction affecting all or substantially all senior executives of the Company and which is implemented before a Change in Control occurs; or (iv) the material breach of this Agreement by the Company.

If the Company cures the Good Reason condition during the Cure Period, Good Reason shall be deemed not to have occurred.
(f) Notice of Termination. Except for termination as specified in Section 3(a), any termination of the Executives employment by the Company or any such termination by the Executive shall be communicated by written Notice of Termination to the other party hereto. For purposes of this Agreement, a Notice of Termination shall mean a notice which shall indicate the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon.
(g) Date of Termination. Date of Termination shall mean: (i) if the Executives employment is terminated by his death, the date of his death; (ii) if the

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Executive gives a Notice of Termination to the Company, the Company may unilaterally accelerate the Date of Termination and such acceleration shall not be deemed a termination by the Company for purposes of this Agreement.
4. Compensation Upon Termination.
(a) Termination Generally. If the Executives employment with the Company is terminated for any reason, the Company shall pay or provide to the Executive (or to his authorized representative or estate), (i) unpaid expense reimbursements, (ii) accrued but unused vacation to the extent such payment is required by law or Company policy, (iii) any vested benefits the Executive may have under any employee benefit plan of the Company, and (iv) any earned but unpaid base salary (collectively the Accrued Benefit) on or before the time required by law but in no event more than 30 days after the Executives Date of Termination.

In addition subject to the Executive providing the Company with a fully effective general release of claims in a form and manner satisfactory to the Company that includes but is not limited to the terms set forth in the attached Exhibit A (the Release) within the 60-day period following the Date of Termination, the Executive shall be entitled to the following payments and benefits:

5. Change in Control Provisions. The provisions of this Section 5 set forth certain terms of an agreement reached between the Executive and the Company regarding the Executives rights and obligations upon the occurrence of a Change in Control of the Company. These provisions are intended to assure and encourage in advance the Executives continued attention and dedication to his assigned duties and his objectivity during the pendency and after the occurrence of any such event. These provisions shall apply in addition to the provisions of Section 4(b) regarding severance pay and benefits upon a termination of employment, if such termination of employment occurs within 12 months after the occurrence of a Change in Control. These provisions shall terminate and be of no further force or effect beginning 12 months after the occurrence of a Change in Control.
(a) Severance Pay. Subject to the Executive providing the Company with the Release within the 60-day period following the Date of Termination, if, within 12 months after the occurrence of a Change in Control, the Executives employment is terminated by the Company without Cause as provided in Section 3(d), or the Executive terminates his employment for Good Reason as provided in Section 3(e), in addition to the severance pay described in Section 4(b)(i) above, the Company shall pay the Executive severance pay in a lump sum in cash in an amount equal to 12 months of the Executives Base Salary (for a total amount equal to 24 months of the Executives Base Salary), payable within 60 days after the Date of Termination but if such 60-day period extends over two calendar years, the payment shall be made in the second calendar year.

(c) Additional Limitation.
(i) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that the amount of any compensation, payment, acceleration, benefit or distribution by the Company to or for the benefit of the Executive, whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise, calculated in a manner consistent with Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code) and the applicable regulations thereunder (the Severance Payments), would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, then the Severance
5
Payments shall be reduced (but not below zero) to the extent necessary so that the sum of all Severance Payments shall not exceed the Threshold Amount, provided, however, that if the after-tax amount the Executive would receive if there were no reduction pursuant to this section (including any federal, state and local taxes) exceeds the after-tax amount the Executive would receive if the Severance Payments were reduced below the Threshold Amount, the Severance Payments shall no longer be so reduced. In the event Severance Payments are required to be reduced, the Severance Payments shall be reduced in the following order: (1) cash payments not subject to Section 409A of the Code; (2) cash payments subject to Section 409A of the Code; (3) equity-based payments and acceleration; and (4) non-cash forms of benefits.
(ii) For the purposes of this Section 5(b), Threshold Amount shall mean three times the Executives base amount within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(3) of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder less one dollar ($1.00).

(iii) the acquisition of all or a majority of the outstanding voting stock of the Company in a single transaction or a series of related transactions by a person or group of persons; or
(iv) any other acquisition of the business of the Company, as determined by the Board;
provided, however, that the Companys initial public offering, any subsequent public offering or another capital raising event, or a merger effected solely to change the Companys domicile shall not constitute a Change in Control.

6. Section 409A.
(a) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, if at the time of the Executives separation from service within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, the Company determines that the Executive is a specified employee within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, then to the extent any payment or benefit that the Executive becomes entitled to under this Agreement on account of the Executives separation from service would be considered deferred compensation subject to the 20 percent additional tax imposed pursuant to Section 409A(a) of the Code as a result of the application of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, such payment shall not be payable and such benefit shall not be provided until the date that is the earlier of (A) six months and one day after the Executives separation from service, or (B) the Executives death. If any such delayed cash payment is otherwise payable on an installment basis, the first payment shall include a catch-up payment covering amounts that would otherwise have been paid during the six-month period but for the application of this provision, and the balance of the installments shall be payable in accordance with their original schedule.
(b) All in-kind benefits provided and expenses eligible for reimbursement under this Agreement shall be provided by the Company or incurred by the Executive during the time periods set forth in this Agreement. All reimbursements shall be paid as soon as administratively practicable, but in no event shall any reimbursement be paid after the last day of the taxable year following the taxable year in which the expense was incurred. The amount of in-kind benefits provided or reimbursable expenses incurred in one taxable year shall not affect the in-kind benefits to be provided or the expenses eligible for reimbursement in any other taxable year. Such right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits is not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit.
(c) To the extent that any payment or benefit described in this Agreement constitutes non-qualified deferred compensation under Section 409A of the Code, and to the extent that such payment or benefit is payable upon the Executives termination of employment, then such payments or benefits shall be payable only upon the Executives separation from service. The determination of whether and when a separation from service has occurred shall be made in accordance with the presumptions set forth in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h).
(d) The parties intend that this Agreement will be administered in accordance with Section 409A of the Code. To the extent that any provision of this Agreement is ambiguous as to its compliance with Section 409A of the Code, the provision shall be read in such a manner so that all payments hereunder comply with Section 409A of the Code. The parties agree that this Agreement may be amended, as reasonably requested by either party, and as may be necessary to fully comply with Section 409A of the Code and all related rules and regulations in order to preserve the payments and benefits provided hereunder without additional cost to either party.
7
(e) The Company makes no representation or warranty and shall have no liability to the Executive or any other person if any provisions of this Agreement are determined to constitute deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code but do not satisfy an exemption from, or the conditions of, such Section.
7. Company Property; Cooperation; Proprietary Information and Nondisclosure; Third-Party Agreements.
(a) Documents, Records, etc. All documents, records, data, apparatus, equipment and other physical property, which are furnished to the Executive by the Company or are produced by the Executive in connection with the Executives employment will be and remain the sole property of the Company. The Executive will return to the Company all such materials and property as and when requested by the Company. In any event, the Executive will return all such materials and property immediately upon termination of the Executives employment for any reason. The Executive will not retain with the Executive any such material or property or any copies thereof after such termination.
(b) Litigation and Regulatory Cooperation. During and after the Executives employment, the Executive shall cooperate fully with the Company in the defense or prosecution of any claims or actions now in existence or which may be brought in the future against or on behalf of the Company which relate to events or occurrences that transpired while the Executive was employed by the Company. The Executives full cooperation in connection with such claims or actions shall include, but not be limited to, being available to meet with counsel to prepare for discovery or trial and to act as a witness on behalf of the Company at mutually convenient times. During and after the Executives employment, the Executive also shall cooperate fully with the Company in connection with any investigation or review of any federal, state or local regulatory authority as any such investigation or review relates to events or occurrences that transpired while the Executive was employed by the Company. The Company shall reimburse the Executive for any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the Executives performance of obligations pursuant to this Section 7(b).
(c) Proprietary Information and Nondisclosure. The Executive and the Company acknowledge that the Proprietary Information Agreement and Nondisclosure Agreement remain in full force and effect on the date hereof.
(d) Third-Party Agreements and Rights. The Executive hereby confirms that the Executive is not bound by the terms of any agreement with any previous employer or other party which restricts in any way the Executives use or disclosure of information or the Executives engagement in any business. The Executive represents to the Company that the Executives execution of this Agreement, the Executives employment with the Company and the performance of the Executives proposed duties for the Company will not violate any obligations the Executive may have to any such previous employer or other party. In the Executives work for the Company, the Executive will not disclose or make use of any information in violation of any agreements with or rights of any such previous employer or other party, and the
8
Executive will not bring to the premises of the Company any copies or other tangible embodiments of non-public information belonging to or obtained from any such previous employment or other party.
(e) Non-Disclosure. The Executive shall use his reasonable efforts to maintain the confidentiality of the terms of this Agreement to the extent permitted by law, provided, however that the Executive may disclose such terms to his immediate family members and to his tax and other advisors.
8. Arbitration of Disputes. Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the breach thereof or otherwise arising out of the Executives employment or the termination of that employment (including, without limitation, any claims of unlawful employment discrimination whether based on age or otherwise) shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be settled by arbitration in any forum and form agreed upon by the parties or, in the absence of such an agreement, under the auspices of the American Arbitration Association (AAA) in San Francisco, California in accordance with the Employment Arbitration Rules and Mediation Procedures of the AAA, including, but not limited to, the rules and procedures applicable to the selection of arbitrators. In the event that any person or entity other than the Executive or the Company may be a party with regard to any such controversy or claim, such controversy or claim shall be submitted to arbitration subject to such other person or entitys agreement. Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. This Section 8 shall be specifically enforceable. The Company shall bear the cost of arbitration. If the Company prevails, the Executive shall pay any litigation costs of the Company to the same extent as if the matter had been heard in a court of general jurisdiction. Each party shall pay its own attorneys fees, unless the arbitrator orders otherwise, pursuant to applicable law.
9. Consent to Jurisdiction. To the extent that any court action is initiated to enforce Section 8 of this Agreement, the parties hereby consent to the jurisdiction of the Superior Court of the County of San Francisco and the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. Accordingly, with respect to any such court action, the Executive (a) submits to the personal jurisdiction of such courts; (b) consents to service of process; and (c) waives any other requirement (whether imposed by statute, rule of court, or otherwise) with respect to personal jurisdiction or service of process.
10. Integration. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements between the parties concerning such subject matter including, without limitation, the Prior Agreement, provided, however, that the Proprietary Information Agreement, Nondisclosure Agreement, Indemnification Agreement, and all plans and agreements related to all stock options and other stock-based awards held by the Executive, shall remain in full force and effect except to the extent specifically modified by this Agreement.
11. Withholding. All payments made by the Company to the Executive under this Agreement shall be net of any tax or other amounts required to be withheld by the Company under applicable law. Nothing herein shall be construed to obligate the Company to design or implement any compensation arrangement in a way that minimizes tax consequences for the Executive.
9
12. Successor to the Executive. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Executives personal representatives, executors, administrators, heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees. In the event of the Executives death after his termination of employment but prior to the completion by the Company of all payments due him under this Agreement, the Company shall continue such payments to the Executives beneficiary designated in writing to the Company prior to his death (or to his estate, if the Executive fails to make such designation).
13. Enforceability. If any portion or provision of this Agreement shall to any extent be declared illegal or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, then the remainder of this Agreement, or the application of such portion or provision in circumstances other than those as to which it is so declared illegal or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each portion and provision of this Agreement shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.
14. Survival. The provisions of this Agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement and/or the termination of the Executives employment to the extent necessary to effectuate the terms contained herein.
15. Waiver. No waiver of any provision hereof shall be effective unless made in writing and signed by the waiving party. The failure of any party to require the performance of any term or obligation of this Agreement, or the waiver by any party of any breach of this Agreement, shall not prevent any subsequent enforcement of such term or obligation or be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach.
16. Notices. Any notices, requests, demands and other communications provided for by this Agreement shall be sufficient if in writing and delivered in person or sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier service or by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to the Executive at the last address the Executive has filed in writing with the Company or, in the case of the Company, at its main offices, attention to the CEO with a copy to the Corporate Secretary unless the CEO is providing notice to the Company in which case such notice shall be directed to the Chairman of the Board with a copy to the Corporate Secretary.
17. Amendment. This Agreement may be amended or modified only by a written instrument signed by the Executive and by a duly authorized representative of the Company.
18. Governing Law. This is a California contract and shall be construed under and be governed in all respects by the laws of the State of California without giving effect to the conflict of laws principles of such state.
19. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be taken to be an original; but such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same document. PDF, facsimile and electronic signatures shall have the same legal effect as originals.
10
20. Successor to Company. The Company shall require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no succession had taken place. Failure of the Company to obtain an assumption of this Agreement at or prior to the effectiveness of any succession shall be a material breach of this Agreement.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Agreement on the date and year first above written.

GENERAL RELEASE LANGUAGE
Executive agrees, for himself, his spouse, heirs, executor or administrator, assigns, insurers, attorneys and other persons or entities acting or purporting to act on his behalf (the Executives Parties), to irrevocably and unconditionally release, acquit and forever discharge the Company, its affiliates, subsidiaries, directors, officers, employees, shareholders, partners, agents, representatives, predecessors, successors, assigns, insurers, attorneys, benefit plans sponsored by the Company and said plans fiduciaries, agents and trustees (the Companys Parties), from any and all actions, cause of action, suits, claims, obligations, liabilities, debts, demands, contentions, damages, judgments, levies and executions of any kind, whether in law or in equity, known or unknown, which the Executives Parties have, have had, or may in the future claim to have against the Companys Parties by reason of, arising out of, related to, or resulting from Executives employment with the Company or the termination thereof. This release specifically includes without limitation any claims arising in tort or contract, any claim based on wrongful discharge, any claim based on breach of contract, any claim arising under federal, state or local law prohibiting race, sex, age, religion, national origin, handicap, disability or other forms of discrimination, any claim arising under federal, state or local law concerning employment practices, and any claim relating to compensation or benefits. This specifically includes, without limitation, any claim which the Executive has or has had under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, as amended, the Americans with Disabilities Act, as amended, and the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended. It is understood and agreed that the waiver of benefits and claims contained in this section does not include a waiver of the right to payment of any vested, nonforfeitable benefits to which the Executive or a beneficiary of the Executive may be entitled under the terms and provisions of any employee benefit plan of the company which have accrued as of the separation date and does not include a waiver of the right to benefits and payment of consideration to which Executive may be entitled under this Agreement or any of the agreements contemplated hereby (including the indemnification agreement and the stock option agreements). Executive acknowledges that he is only entitled to the severance benefits and compensation set forth in this Agreement, and that all other claims for any other benefits or compensation are hereby waived, except those expressly stated in the preceding sentence.
Executive hereby acknowledges his understanding that under this Agreement he is releasing any known or unknown claims he may have. He therefore acknowledges that he has read and understands Section 1542 of the California Civil Code, which reads as follows:
A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.
Executive expressly waives and relinquishes all rights and benefits under that section and any law of any jurisdiction of similar effect with respect to his release of claims.

EXECUTIVE AGREEMENT
This Executive Agreement (Agreement) is made as of the day of , 20 between Xoom Corporation, a California corporation (the Company), and (Executive) (together the Parties).

(d) Termination by the Company Without Cause. The Company may terminate the Executives employment hereunder at any time without Cause. Any termination by the Company of the Executives employment under this Agreement which does not constitute a termination for Cause under Section 3(c) and does not result from the death or disability of the Executive under Section 3(a) or (b) shall be deemed a termination without Cause.
(e) Termination by the Executive. The Executive may terminate his employment hereunder at any time for any reason, including but not limited to Good Reason. For purposes of this Agreement, Good Reason shall mean that the Executive has complied with the Good Reason Process (hereinafter defined) following the occurrence of any of the following events: (i) a demotion or any material diminution of the Executives position, authority, duties or responsibilities and which shall include (but not be limited to) the Executive having a position, authority, duties or responsibilities after a Change in Control with respect to a division or line of business, rather than a substantially comparable position, authority, duties or responsibilities with respect to the Companys successor or acquirer, (ii) a requirement that the Executive report to work more than 30 miles from the Companys existing headquarters (not including normal business travel required of the Executives position and which is substantially comparable to the business travel historically required of the Executive); (iii) a material reduction in the Executives Base Salary, bonus opportunity or benefits, except for an across-the-board reduction affecting all or substantially all senior executives of the Company and which is implemented before a Change in Control occurs; or (iv) the material breach of this Agreement by the Company. Good Reason Process shall mean that (i) the Executive reasonably determines in good faith that a Good Reason condition has occurred; (ii) the Executive notifies the Company in writing of the first occurrence of the Good Reason condition within 30 days of the first occurrence of such condition; (iii) the Executive cooperates in good faith with the Companys efforts, for a period of not less than 30 days following such notice (the Cure Period) to remedy the condition; (iv) notwithstanding such efforts, the Good Reason condition continues to exist; and (v) the Executive terminates his employment within 30 days after the end of the Cure Period. If the Company cures the Good Reason condition during the Cure Period, Good Reason shall be deemed not to have occurred.
(f) Notice of Termination. Except for termination as specified in Section 3(a), any termination of the Executives employment by the Company or any such termination by the Executive shall be communicated by written Notice of Termination to the other party hereto. For purposes of this Agreement, a Notice of Termination shall mean a notice which shall indicate the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon.
(g) Date of Termination. Date of Termination shall mean: (i) if the Executives employment is terminated by his death, the date of his death; (ii) if the Executives employment is terminated on account of disability under Section 3(b) or by the Company for Cause under Section 3(c) or by the Company without Cause under Section 3(d) on the date the Notice of Termination is given; (iii) if the Executives employment is terminated by the Executive under Section 3(e) without Good Reason,
3
30 days after the date on which a Notice of Termination is given, and (iv) if the Executives employment is terminated by the Executive under Section 3(e) with Good Reason, the date on which a Notice of Termination is given after the end of the Cure Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Executive gives a Notice of Termination to the Company, the Company may unilaterally accelerate the Date of Termination and such acceleration shall not be deemed a termination by the Company for purposes of this Agreement.
4. Compensation Upon Termination.
(a) Termination Generally. If the Executives employment with the Company is terminated for any reason, the Company shall pay or provide to the Executive (or to his authorized representative or estate), (i) unpaid expense reimbursements, (ii) accrued but unused vacation to the extent such payment is required by law or Company policy, (iii) any vested benefits the Executive may have under any employee benefit plan of the Company, and (iv) any earned but unpaid base salary (collectively the Accrued Benefit) on or before the time required by law but in no event more than 30 days after the Executives Date of Termination.
(b) Termination by the Company Without Cause or by the Executive with Good Reason. If the Executives employment is terminated by the Company without Cause as provided in Section 3(d), or the Executive terminates his employment for Good Reason as provided in Section 3(e), then the Company shall, through the Date of Termination, pay the Executive his Accrued Benefit. In addition subject to the Executive providing the Company with a fully effective general release of claims in a form and manner satisfactory to the Company that includes but is not limited to the terms set forth in the attached Exhibit A (the Release) within the 60-day period following the Date of Termination, the Executive shall be entitled to the following payments and benefits:
(i) the Company shall pay the Executive severance pay in a lump sum in cash in an amount equal to six months of Executives Base Salary, payable within 60 days after the Date of Termination but if such 60-day period extends over two calendar years, the payment shall be made in the second calendar year; and
(ii) if the Executive is participating in a Company cash bonus plan immediately prior to the Date of Termination, the Company shall pay the Executive a pro rata portion of any such cash bonus for the year in which the Date of Termination occurs, based on the number of days in such year completed prior to the Date of Termination and determined assuming that all applicable performance targets are attained at the 100% level, payable within 60 days after the Date of Termination but if such 60-day period extends over two calendar years, the payment shall be made in the second calendar year.

5. Change in Control Provisions. The provisions of this Section 5 set forth certain terms of an agreement reached between the Executive and the Company regarding the Executives rights and obligations upon the occurrence of a Change in Control of the Company. These provisions are intended to assure and encourage in advance the Executives continued attention and dedication to his assigned duties and his objectivity during the pendency and after the occurrence of any such event. These provisions shall apply in addition to the provisions of Section 4(b) regarding severance pay and benefits upon a termination of employment, if such termination of employment occurs within 12 months after the occurrence of a Change in Control. These provisions shall terminate and be of no further force or effect beginning 12 months after the occurrence of a Change in Control.
(a) Severance Pay. Subject to the Executive providing the Company with the Release within the 60-day period following the Date of Termination, if, within 12 months after the occurrence of a Change in Control, the Executives employment is terminated by the Company without Cause as provided in Section 3(d), or the Executive terminates his employment for Good Reason as provided in Section 3(e), in addition to the severance pay described in Section 4(b)(i) above, the Company shall pay the Executive severance pay in a lump sum in cash in an amount equal to six months of the Executives Base Salary (for a total amount equal to 12 months of the Executives Base Salary), payable within 60 days after the Date of Termination but if such 60-day period extends over two calendar years, the payment shall be made in the second calendar year.
(b) Stock Options and Other Stock-Based Awards. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any applicable option agreement or stock-based award agreement, all stock options and other stock-based awards granted to the Executive before March 22, 2012 and held by the Executive shall immediately accelerate, vest and become fully exercisable or nonforfeitable as of the Change in Control and, if, within 12 months after the occurrence of a Change in Control, the Executives employment is terminated by the Company without Cause as provided in Section 3(d), or the Executive terminates his employment for Good Reason as provided in Section 3(e), all stock options and other stock-based awards granted to the Executive on or after March 22, 2012 and held by the Executive shall accelerate, vest and become fully exercisable or nonforfeitable as of the Date of Termination.
(c) Additional Limitation.
(i) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that the amount of any compensation, payment, acceleration, benefit or distribution by the Company to or for the benefit of the Executive, whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise, calculated in a manner consistent with Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code) and the applicable regulations thereunder (the Severance Payments), would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, then the Severance Payments shall be reduced (but not below zero) to the extent necessary so that the sum of all Severance Payments shall not exceed the Threshold Amount, provided, however, that if the after-tax amount the Executive would receive if there were no reduction pursuant to this section (including any federal, state and local taxes) exceeds the after-tax amount the Executive would receive if the Severance
5
Payments were reduced below the Threshold Amount, the Severance Payments shall no longer be so reduced. In the event Severance Payments are required to be reduced, the Severance Payments shall be reduced in the following order: (1) cash payments not subject to Section 409A of the Code; (2) cash payments subject to Section 409A of the Code; (3) equity-based payments and acceleration; and (4) non-cash forms of benefits.
(ii) For the purposes of this Section 5(b), Threshold Amount shall mean three times the Executives base amount within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(3) of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder less one dollar ($1.00).
(iii) The determinations under this Section 5(b) shall be made by a nationally recognized accounting firm selected by the Company (the Accounting Firm), which shall provide detailed supporting calculations both to the Company and the Executive within 15 business days of the Date of Termination, if applicable, or at such earlier time as is reasonably requested by the Company or the Executive.
(d) Change in Control Definition. For purposes of this Section 5, Change in Control shall mean the consummation of any of the following:
(i) the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company on a consolidated basis to an unrelated person or entity;
(ii) a merger, reorganization or consolidation involving the Company in which the shares of voting stock outstanding immediately prior to such transaction represent or are converted into or exchanged for securities of the surviving or resulting entity immediately upon completion of such transaction which represent less than 50% of the outstanding voting power of such surviving or resulting entity;
(iii) the acquisition of all or a majority of the outstanding voting stock of the Company in a single transaction or a series of related transactions by a person or group of persons; or
(iv) any other acquisition of the business of the Company, as determined by the Board;
provided, however, that the Companys initial public offering, any subsequent public offering or another capital raising event, or a merger effected solely to change the Companys domicile shall not constitute a Change in Control.
6. Section 409A.
(a) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, if at the time of the Executives separation from service within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, the Company determines that the Executive is a specified employee within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, then to the extent any payment or
6
benefit that the Executive becomes entitled to under this Agreement on account of the Executives separation from service would be considered deferred compensation subject to the 20 percent additional tax imposed pursuant to Section 409A(a) of the Code as a result of the application of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, such payment shall not be payable and such benefit shall not be provided until the date that is the earlier of (A) six months and one day after the Executives separation from service, or (B) the Executives death. If any such delayed cash payment is otherwise payable on an installment basis, the first payment shall include a catch-up payment covering amounts that would otherwise have been paid during the six-month period but for the application of this provision, and the balance of the installments shall be payable in accordance with their original schedule.
(b) All in-kind benefits provided and expenses eligible for reimbursement under this Agreement shall be provided by the Company or incurred by the Executive during the time periods set forth in this Agreement. All reimbursements shall be paid as soon as administratively practicable, but in no event shall any reimbursement be paid after the last day of the taxable year following the taxable year in which the expense was incurred. The amount of in-kind benefits provided or reimbursable expenses incurred in one taxable year shall not affect the in-kind benefits to be provided or the expenses eligible for reimbursement in any other taxable year. Such right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits is not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit.
(c) To the extent that any payment or benefit described in this Agreement constitutes non-qualified deferred compensation under Section 409A of the Code, and to the extent that such payment or benefit is payable upon the Executives termination of employment, then such payments or benefits shall be payable only upon the Executives separation from service. The determination of whether and when a separation from service has occurred shall be made in accordance with the presumptions set forth in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h).
(d) The parties intend that this Agreement will be administered in accordance with Section 409A of the Code. To the extent that any provision of this Agreement is ambiguous as to its compliance with Section 409A of the Code, the provision shall be read in such a manner so that all payments hereunder comply with Section 409A of the Code. The parties agree that this Agreement may be amended, as reasonably requested by either party, and as may be necessary to fully comply with Section 409A of the Code and all related rules and regulations in order to preserve the payments and benefits provided hereunder without additional cost to either party.
(e) The Company makes no representation or warranty and shall have no liability to the Executive or any other person if any provisions of this Agreement are determined to constitute deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code but do not satisfy an exemption from, or the conditions of, such Section.
7
7. Company Property; Cooperation; Proprietary Information and Nondisclosure; Third-Party Agreements.
(a) Documents, Records, etc. All documents, records, data, apparatus, equipment and other physical property, which are furnished to the Executive by the Company or are produced by the Executive in connection with the Executives employment will be and remain the sole property of the Company. The Executive will return to the Company all such materials and property as and when requested by the Company. In any event, the Executive will return all such materials and property immediately upon termination of the Executives employment for any reason. The Executive will not retain with the Executive any such material or property or any copies thereof after such termination.
(b) Litigation and Regulatory Cooperation. During and after the Executives employment, the Executive shall cooperate fully with the Company in the defense or prosecution of any claims or actions now in existence or which may be brought in the future against or on behalf of the Company which relate to events or occurrences that transpired while the Executive was employed by the Company. The Executives full cooperation in connection with such claims or actions shall include, but not be limited to, being available to meet with counsel to prepare for discovery or trial and to act as a witness on behalf of the Company at mutually convenient times. During and after the Executives employment, the Executive also shall cooperate fully with the Company in connection with any investigation or review of any federal, state or local regulatory authority as any such investigation or review relates to events or occurrences that transpired while the Executive was employed by the Company. The Company shall reimburse the Executive for any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the Executives performance of obligations pursuant to this Section 7(b).
(c) Proprietary Information and Nondisclosure. The Executive and the Company acknowledge that the Proprietary Information Agreement and Nondisclosure Agreement remain in full force and effect on the date hereof.
(d) Third-Party Agreements and Rights. The Executive hereby confirms that the Executive is not bound by the terms of any agreement with any previous employer or other party which restricts in any way the Executives use or disclosure of information or the Executives engagement in any business. The Executive represents to the Company that the Executives execution of this Agreement, the Executives employment with the Company and the performance of the Executives proposed duties for the Company will not violate any obligations the Executive may have to any such previous employer or other party. In the Executives work for the Company, the Executive will not disclose or make use of any information in violation of any agreements with or rights of any such previous employer or other party, and the Executive will not bring to the premises of the Company any copies or other tangible embodiments of non-public information belonging to or obtained from any such previous employment or other party.
(e) Non-Disclosure. The Executive shall use his reasonable efforts to maintain the confidentiality of the terms of this Agreement to the extent permitted by law, provided, however that the Executive may disclose such terms to his immediate family members and to his tax and other advisors.
8
8. Arbitration of Disputes. Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the breach thereof or otherwise arising out of the Executives employment or the termination of that employment (including, without limitation, any claims of unlawful employment discrimination whether based on age or otherwise) shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be settled by arbitration in any forum and form agreed upon by the parties or, in the absence of such an agreement, under the auspices of the American Arbitration Association (AAA) in San Francisco, California in accordance with the Employment Arbitration Rules and Mediation Procedures of the AAA, including, but not limited to, the rules and procedures applicable to the selection of arbitrators. In the event that any person or entity other than the Executive or the Company may be a party with regard to any such controversy or claim, such controversy or claim shall be submitted to arbitration subject to such other person or entitys agreement. Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. This Section 8 shall be specifically enforceable. The Company shall bear the cost of arbitration. If the Company prevails, the Executive shall pay any litigation costs of the Company to the same extent as if the matter had been heard in a court of general jurisdiction. Each party shall pay its own attorneys fees, unless the arbitrator orders otherwise, pursuant to applicable law.
9. Consent to Jurisdiction. To the extent that any court action is initiated to enforce Section 8 of this Agreement, the parties hereby consent to the jurisdiction of the Superior Court of the County of San Francisco and the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. Accordingly, with respect to any such court action, the Executive (a) submits to the personal jurisdiction of such courts; (b) consents to service of process; and (c) waives any other requirement (whether imposed by statute, rule of court, or otherwise) with respect to personal jurisdiction or service of process.
10. Integration. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements between the parties concerning such subject matter including, without limitation, the Prior Agreement, provided, however, that the Proprietary Information Agreement, Nondisclosure Agreement, Indemnification Agreement, and all plans and agreements related to all stock options and other stock-based awards held by the Executive, shall remain in full force and effect except to the extent specifically modified by this Agreement.
11. Withholding. All payments made by the Company to the Executive under this Agreement shall be net of any tax or other amounts required to be withheld by the Company under applicable law. Nothing herein shall be construed to obligate the Company to design or implement any compensation arrangement in a way that minimizes tax consequences for the Executive.
12. Successor to the Executive. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Executives personal representatives, executors, administrators, heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees. In the event of the Executives death after his termination of employment but prior to the completion by the Company of all payments due him under this Agreement, the Company shall continue such payments to the Executives beneficiary designated in writing to the Company prior to his death (or to his estate, if the Executive fails to make such designation).
9
13. Enforceability. If any portion or provision of this Agreement shall to any extent be declared illegal or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, then the remainder of this Agreement, or the application of such portion or provision in circumstances other than those as to which it is so declared illegal or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each portion and provision of this Agreement shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.
14. Survival. The provisions of this Agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement and/or the termination of the Executives employment to the extent necessary to effectuate the terms contained herein.
15. Waiver. No waiver of any provision hereof shall be effective unless made in writing and signed by the waiving party. The failure of any party to require the performance of any term or obligation of this Agreement, or the waiver by any party of any breach of this Agreement, shall not prevent any subsequent enforcement of such term or obligation or be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach.
16. Notices. Any notices, requests, demands and other communications provided for by this Agreement shall be sufficient if in writing and delivered in person or sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier service or by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to the Executive at the last address the Executive has filed in writing with the Company or, in the case of the Company, at its main offices, attention to the CEO with a copy to the Corporate Secretary unless the CEO is providing notice to the Company in which case such notice shall be directed to the Chairman of the Board with a copy to the Corporate Secretary.
17. Amendment. This Agreement may be amended or modified only by a written instrument signed by the Executive and by a duly authorized representative of the Company.
18. Governing Law. This is a California contract and shall be construed under and be governed in all respects by the laws of the State of California without giving effect to the conflict of laws principles of such state.
19. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be taken to be an original; but such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same document. PDF, facsimile and electronic signatures shall have the same legal effect as originals.
20. Successor to Company. The Company shall require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no succession had taken place. Failure of the Company to obtain an assumption of this Agreement at or prior to the effectiveness of any succession shall be a material breach of this Agreement.

EXHIBIT A
GENERAL RELEASE LANGUAGE
Executive agrees, for himself, his spouse, heirs, executor or administrator, assigns, insurers, attorneys and other persons or entities acting or purporting to act on his behalf (the Executives Parties), to irrevocably and unconditionally release, acquit and forever discharge the Company, its affiliates, subsidiaries, directors, officers, employees, shareholders, partners, agents, representatives, predecessors, successors, assigns, insurers, attorneys, benefit plans sponsored by the Company and said plans fiduciaries, agents and trustees (the Companys Parties), from any and all actions, cause of action, suits, claims, obligations, liabilities, debts, demands, contentions, damages, judgments, levies and executions of any kind, whether in law or in equity, known or unknown, which the Executives Parties have, have had, or may in the future claim to have against the Companys Parties by reason of, arising out of, related to, or resulting from Executives employment with the Company or the termination thereof. This release specifically includes without limitation any claims arising in tort or contract, any claim based on wrongful discharge, any claim based on breach of contract, any claim arising under federal, state or local law prohibiting race, sex, age, religion, national origin, handicap, disability or other forms of discrimination, any claim arising under federal, state or local law concerning employment practices, and any claim relating to compensation or benefits. This specifically includes, without limitation, any claim which the Executive has or has had under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, as amended, the Americans with Disabilities Act, as amended, and the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended. It is understood and agreed that the waiver of benefits and claims contained in this section does not include a waiver of the right to payment of any vested, nonforfeitable benefits to which the Executive or a beneficiary of the Executive may be entitled under the terms and provisions of any employee benefit plan of the company which have accrued as of the separation date and does not include a waiver of the right to benefits and payment of consideration to which Executive may be entitled under this Agreement or any of the agreements contemplated hereby (including the indemnification agreement and the stock option agreements). Executive acknowledges that he is only entitled to the severance benefits and compensation set forth in this Agreement, and that all other claims for any other benefits or compensation are hereby waived, except those expressly stated in the preceding sentence.
Executive hereby acknowledges his understanding that under this Agreement he is releasing any known or unknown claims he may have. He therefore acknowledges that he has read and understands Section 1542 of the California Civil Code, which reads as follows:
A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.
Executive expressly waives and relinquishes all rights and benefits under that section and any law of any jurisdiction of similar effect with respect to his release of claims.

Upon written request by Tenant within forty-five (45) days of issuance of Landlords Statement, Landlord will make its prior year records pertaining to Direct Expenses available to Tenant to allow Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, to verify their accuracy. In the event that Tenants examination reveals an overcharge of more than 5%, then Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for its costs and expenses in connection with the examination but in no event will such reimbursement exceed the amount which Tenant was overcharged.

Permitted capital improvements and repairs may be amortized in the Landlords reasonable discretion over: (i) their useful lives, (ii) the period during which capital improvements reduce Direct Expenses or (iii) three (3) years or more at Landlords discretion. Landlord may allocate costs of operation and maintenance between the building where the Premises are located and other properties owned by landlord or its affiliates and under common management, as determined by landlord in the exercise of its reasonable discretion. Similarly, Landlord may make other allocations of Direct Expenses in accordance with sound management and accounting principles.

Property taxes for any calendar year shall include property taxes which are due for payment as well as those paid in such year.
F. If the Building rentable square footage is not one hundred percent (100%) occupied during an entire calendar year, including the Base Year, then the variable component of Direct Expenses and Direct Tax Expenses will be equitably adjusted so that the total amount of Direct Tax Expenses and Direct Expenses equals the amount which would have been paid or incurred by Landlord had the Building been one hundred percent (100%) occupied for the entire calendar year. In no event will Landlord be entitled to receive from Tenant and the other tenants in the Building an aggregate amount in excess of actual Direct Expenses and Direct Tax Expenses as a result of the foregoing provision.
6. Security Deposit; Late Charge.
Upon the execution of this Lease, Tenant will pay Landlord the Security Deposit to secure the faithful performance by Tenant of all of the terms, covenants, and conditions of this Lease to be kept and performed by Tenant. The Security Deposit is not being held in trust, and Landlord is not required to segregate the Security Deposit from its other funds or pay interest or any other return on such Security Deposit. Landlord has the right (but not the obligation) at any time or times to apply the Security Deposit, or any portion thereof, to any Rent or other sums due and unpaid by Tenant under this Lease. If Landlord elects to so apply, Landlord will deliver notice to Tenant of the nature and amount so applied. Tenant must then deposit with Landlord an amount sufficient to replace the amount so applied to return such funds to an amount equal to the original Security Deposit. If Tenant fails to make such deposit within ten (10) days after receipt of Landlords notice, Landlord at its option may resort to any or all remedies available to it for the nonpayment of Rent. Following the termination of the Term of this Lease or, if Tenant has held over beyond such termination, following the end of such hold over, provided Tenant has vacated the Premises and fully performed all of its obligations hereunder, Landlord will return to Tenant the Security Deposit, or such portion thereof then held by Landlord, after all applications have been made by Landlord on account of Tenants breach or default hereunder; provided, however, any such return is not an admission by Landlord that Tenant has performed all of its obligations hereunder. It is specifically understood that Tenant has no right at any time to apply the Security Deposit, or any portion thereof, to any of its Rent obligations (including its last months Rent) or to any other sums due and payable by Tenant under this Lease. No beneficiary, mortgagee, secured party, or other holder of any encumbrance (hereinafter, lender), nor any purchaser at any judicial or private foreclosure sale of the Building, will ever be responsible to Tenant for its Security Deposit unless the lender or purchaser has actually received the same. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Tenant exercises its right to terminate the this Lease in accordance with Section 1.C. above, then, provided
7
Tenant has not been in default under the Lease, Tenant may apply $90,247.50 of the Security Deposit to the termination fee. Landlord will endeavor to return the Security Deposit to Tenant as soon as practicable after the end of the Term of this Lease (or, if Tenant has held over beyond the end of the Term, following the end of such hold over), but in no event shall Landlord return the Security Deposit to Tenant more than forty-five (45) days after such termination plus or minus any open charges or credits whereby the exact amount may not yet be determined (such as Landlord year end statement).
Tenant acknowledges that late payment by Tenant to Landlord of Rent or other sums due hereunder will cause Landlord to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which would be extremely difficult to ascertain. Such costs include, but are not limited to, processing and accounting charges, and late charges that may be imposed upon Landlord. Accordingly, if Landlord does not receive any installment of Rent or any other sum due from Tenant within ten (10) days after due, Tenant will pay to Landlord, in addition to any other sums payable hereunder, a late charge of ten percent (10%) of the amount due, plus any attorneys fees incurred by Landlord because of Tenants failure to pay Rent and/or other charges when due hereunder. The parties agree that such late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs that Landlord will incur because of the late payment by Tenant. Acceptance of such late charges by the Landlord will in no event be a waiver of Tenants default with respect to any such overdue amount, nor prevent Landlord from exercising any of the other rights and remedies granted hereunder.
In addition, Tenant will pay Landlord $50.00 as additional Rent for each check tendered by Tenant that is not honored for payment by Tenants bank for whatever reason.

However, no alteration will be permitted if it is structural or will affect the Buildings HVAC, electrical, or plumbing systems. Any alteration (excluding trade fixtures and movable furniture installed by Tenant that belongs to Tenant) becomes at once a part of the realty and belongs to Landlord subject to Landlords rights under Paragraph 17.

D. In making any alterations, Tenant will keep the Premises and the Building free from any liens arising out of any work performed, materials furnished, or obligations incurred by Tenant. Tenant may not make any alterations of the Premises until seven (7) days after receipt by it of the written consent of Landlord in order that Landlord may post or request to post any appropriate notices to avoid any possible liability with respect to liens. Tenant will, at Landlords request, prepare, record and post such notices and at all times permit such notices to be posted and to remain posted until the completion and acceptance of such work. In addition, at Landlords request, Tenant will secure at Tenants own cost and expense a completion and lien indemnity bond, satisfactory to Landlord, for all such work. At Landlords option, Landlord may require Tenant to utilize escrow construction services in connection with any alterations. Tenant further agrees that there will be no construction, partitions, or other obstructions which might interfere with Landlords free access to mechanical installations or service facilities of the Building or with the moving of Landlords equipment to or from the enclosures containing said installations or facilities. Tenant must notify Landlord if the Alterations include the handling of any Hazardous Materials1 and whether these materials are of a customary and typical nature for industry practices. Upon completion of the Alterations, Tenant will provide Landlord with copies of as-built plans. Neither the approval by Landlord of plans and specifications relating to any Alterations nor Landlords supervision or monitoring of any Alterations constitute any warranty by Landlord to Tenant of the adequacy of the design for Tenants intended use or the proper performance of the Alterations.
E. If, as a result of any alterations made by Tenant it is necessary for Landlord to make any other improvements or repairs to the Building, whether within or without the Premises, such work will be at Tenants expense.

The judgment of any court of competent jurisdiction, or the admission of Tenant in any action or proceeding against Tenant, whether or not Landlord is a party thereto, that Tenant has violated any law pertaining to

The parties agree that their respective insurance policies are now, or will be, endorsed such that said waiver of subrogation will not affect the right of the insured to recover thereunder, so long as no material additional premium is charged therefor.
G. Other Insurance Matters.

(i) Be issued by insurance companies authorized to do business in California, with a financial rating of at least an A-10 status as rated in the most recent edition of Bests Insurance Reports.

Each policy of insurance required under this Lease, or a certificate of the policy, together with evidence of payment of premiums will be deposited with Landlord at the commencement of the Term and on each renewal of the policy.

Nothing in this Paragraph 13 will be construed as creating or implying the existence of (i) any ownership by Tenant of any alterations in, on or about the Premises or (ii) any right of Tenant to make any alterations in, on or about the Premises.
14
14. Rules and Regulations.
The Rules and Regulations attached hereto as Exhibit C are hereby incorporated by reference herein and made a part hereof. Tenant shall abide by, and faithfully observe and comply with the Rules and Regulations and any reasonable and non-discriminatory amendments, modifications and/or additions thereto as may hereafter be adopted and published by written notice to tenants by Landlord for the safety, care, security, good order and/or cleanliness of the Premises and/or the Building. Any such amendments, modifications or additions will be applicable to all tenants of the Building. Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any violations of such rules and regulations by any other tenant or occupant of the Building.
15. Utilities and Services.
A. Landlord agrees to furnish or cause to be furnished to the Premises, during reasonable hours determined by Landlord (as set forth in Section 1.K of this Lease) and subject to applicable law and the rules and regulations of the Building, the following utilities and services, subject to the conditions and standards set forth herein: (i) non-attended automatic elevator service (if the Building has such equipment serving the Premises), in common with Landlord and other tenants and occupants and their agents and invitees, (ii) water for drinking and rest room purposes, (iii) reasonable janitorial and cleaning services, provided that the Premises are used exclusively for office purposes and are kept reasonably in order by Tenant (if the Premises are not used exclusively as offices, Landlord, at Landlords sole discretion, may require that the Premises be kept clean and in order by Tenant, at Tenants expense, to the satisfaction of Landlord and by persons approved by Landlord; and, in all events, Tenant will pay Landlord for the cost of removing Tenants refuse and rubbish, to the extent the same exceeds the refuse and rubbish attendant to normal office usage), (iv) radiant heat, (v) at all reasonable times,, electric current as required for building standard lighting and customary office equipment. However: (a) without Landlords consent, Tenant may not install, or permit the installation, in the Premises of any space heaters, air conditioning equipment, electronic equipment or other type of equipment or machines which will increase Tenants use of electric current in excess of that which. Landlord is obligated to provide hereunder (provided, however, that the foregoing will not preclude the normal use of personal computers or similar office equipment); (b) if Tenant requires electric current which may disrupt the provision of electrical services to other tenants or which exceeds normal usage for tenants in the Building, Landlord may refuse to grant its consent or may condition its consent upon Tenants paying the cost of installing and providing any additional facilities required to furnish such excess power to the Premises and upon the installation in the Premises of electric current meters to measure the amount of electric current consumed, Tenant will pay for the cost of such meter(s) and the cost of installation, maintenance and repair thereof, as well as for all excess electric current consumed at the rates charged by the applicable local public utility, plus a reasonable amount to cover the additional expenses incurred by Landlord in keeping account of the electric current so consumed; and (c) if Tenants increased electrical requirements will materially affect the temperature level in the Premises or the Building, Landlords consent may be conditioned upon Tenants requirement to pay such
15
amounts as will be incurred by Landlord to install and operate any machinery or equipment necessary to restore the temperature level to that otherwise required to be provided by Landlord, including but not limited to the cost of modifications to any air conditioning system. Landlord will not, in any way, be liable or responsible to Tenant for any loss or damage or expense which Tenant may incur or sustain if, for any reasons beyond Landlords reasonable control, either the quantity or character of electric service is changed or is no longer available or suitable for Tenants requirements. Tenant covenants that at all times its use of electric current will never exceed the capacity of the feeders, risers or electrical installations of the Building. If submetering of electricity in the Building will not be permitted under future laws or regulations, the Rent will be equitably and periodically adjusted to include an additional payment to Landlord reflecting the cost to Landlord for furnishing electricity to Tenant in the Premises. Any amounts which Tenant is required to pay to Landlord pursuant to this section are due within ten (10) business days after demand by Landlord and are Additional Rental.
B. Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph 15.A. above, the existing, dedicated package HVAC unit in the server room shall be delivered in as is condition. The electricity for this package HVAC unit shall be at Tenants sole cost and expense. The west portion of the Premises is equipped with a package AC unit with electric heating coils for after-hours heat. This portion of the Premises has 24/7 HVAC available to it. The remainder of the Premises is not serviced by separate package HVAC units, but rather by fan coils utilizing chilled water from the main building chiller. Tenant at its sole cost and expense shall provide maintenance and repairs for the server room package HVAC unit, except that Landlord shall assist with minor, routine maintenance (e.g., change filters and fix drain pans if overturned and minor troubleshooting). Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for after-hours utilization of all package AC units. Landlord reserves the right to install an additional meter to determine Tenants normal business hours server room electrical usage. Any after-hours electrical usage will be charged to Tenant at the actual averaged rate charged to the Landlord. Any other after-hours services provided by Landlord caused by Tenants after-hours use will be reimbursed to Landlord at Landlords normal charges for such services.
C. Landlord is not liable for any failure to furnish, stoppage of, or interruption in furnishing any of services or utilities, when such failure is caused by accident, breakage, repairs, strikes, lockouts, labor disputes, labor disturbances, governmental regulation, civil disturbances, acts of war, moratorium or other governmental action, or any other cause beyond Landlords reasonable control, and, in such event, Tenant is not entitled to any damages nor will any failure or interruption abate or suspend Tenants obligation to pay Base Monthly Rental and Additional Rental or be construed as a constructive or other eviction of Tenant. Further, in the any governmental authority or public utility promulgates or revises any law, ordinance, rule or regulation, or issues mandatory controls, or voluntary controls relating to the use or conservation of energy, water, gas,, light or electricity, the reduction of automobile or other emissions, or the provision of any other utility or service, Landlord may take any reasonably appropriate action to comply with such law, ordinance, rule, regulation, mandatory control or voluntary guideline and Tenants obligations hereunder will not be affected by any
16
action of Landlord. The parties acknowledge that safety and security devices, services and programs provided by Landlord, if any, while intended to deter crime and ensure safety, may not in given instances prevent theft or other criminal acts, or ensure safety of persons or property. The risk that any safety or security device, service or program may not be effective, or may malfunction, or be circumvented by a criminal, is assumed by Tenant with respect to Tenants property and interests, and Tenant must obtain insurance coverage to the extent Tenant desires protection against such criminal acts and other losses, as further described in this Lease. Tenant agrees to cooperate in any reasonable safety or security program developed by Landlord or required by Law. The foregoing notwithstanding, in the event that such services are interrupted to the extent it prevents Tenant from conducting its business at the Premises, Tenants Base Rent hereunder will be abated after the exhaustion of its business interruption insurance coverage (required under Paragraph 13.B above).
16. Personal Property Taxes.
Tenant is responsible for and will pay before delinquency all taxes and other governmental charges and impositions levied against Tenant, Tenants improvements, fixtures, trade fixtures, alterations, furniture, fixtures, equipment, or other personal property, Tenants leasehold interest, the Rent or other charges payable by Tenant, any business carried on at the Premises, or in connection with the use or occupancy thereof, including, without limitation, City of San Francisco Gross Receipts Taxes, payroll taxes, any general or special assessments, levies, fees or charges, transit or transportation charges, housing subsidies and/or housing fund assessments, possessory interest taxes, business or license taxes or fees, job training subsidies and/or assessments, or open space charges, irrespective of whether any of the foregoing is assessed or designated as a real or personal property tax, and irrespective of whether any of the foregoing is assessed to or against Landlord or Tenant. Should any of the foregoing be applied in any manner to the real property taxes levied on the Building or appurtenances thereto, Tenant, upon demand, will pay such personal property taxes to Landlord who in turn will pay the same to the property tax collector.
17. Maintenance.
A. Upon occupancy, Tenant accepts the Premises as being in good and sanitary order, condition and repair. Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, will keep the Premises and every part thereof in good and sanitary condition and repair, damage thereto by fire, earthquake, act of God or the elements excepted unless caused by Tenants negligence or willful act. Tenant agrees to carry out promptly all maintenance that at any time may become necessary to put and keep the Premises in as good and sanitary a condition as when received by Tenant from Landlord, reasonable wear and tear excepted, and, the preceding sentence notwithstanding, to replace immediately all interior glass now or hereafter installed in the Premises, however broken. Maintenance or repair required because of burglary or vandalism will be the sole responsibility of Tenant, unless required as a result of Landlords grossly negligent or intentional misconduct. Landlord, however, is responsible for the compliance of the Premises and the common areas in the Building (which may be a part of Direct Expenses as defined
17
in Section 5D of this Lease) with ADA and building codes, such as sprinkler requirements, path of travel and exiting, subject to any exemptions therefrom due to the Buildings status as an historical building as referred to in Section 41 of the Lease.
B. If, during the Term, because of the Tenants use of the Premises, any alterations or improvements to the Premises are required by law, whether or not such law was within the contemplation of the parties upon execution of this Lease, Tenant will be obligated to make such alterations or improvements at its sole cost and expense. However, if such alterations are required on a Building-wide basis, and are not related to Tenants particular use of the Premises, Tenants obligation under this Paragraph B will be limited to $5,000.
C. Tenant hereby waives all rights under, and the benefits of, Subsection 1 of Section 1932 and Sections 1941 and 1942 of the California Civil Code, and under any similar law, permitting Tenant to make repairs at the expense of Landlord or to terminate a lease by reason of the condition of the leased premises.
18. Restoration of Premises.
Tenant agrees that upon the expiration of the Term, the earlier termination of the Lease for whatever reason, of Tenants abandonment of the Premises, whichever occurs first, Tenant will surrender or leave the Premises in the same condition as when received, reasonable wear and tear excepted, and damage by fire, earthquake, acts of God, or the elements excepted, unless caused by Tenants negligent or willful act or omission, and if Tenant has made any alteration or improvement of the Premises, without Landlords consent as required by this Lease, Tenant will effect the restoration of the Premises unless Landlord has expressly set forth in writing that a particular alteration or improvement will not be removed. As used throughout this paragraph, restoration means the reconstruction, rebuilding, rehabilitation, and repairs necessary to return altered, improved, or damaged portions of the Premises and other damaged property in, on or about the Premises to substantially the same physical condition in which they were immediately before the alteration, improvement, or damage.
19. Entry by Landlord.
Landlord reserves the right and Tenant will permit Landlord and its authorized representatives to enter the Premises at all reasonable times upon not more than 24 hours notice as may be required by Tenant if such entry interrupts Tenants scheduled business activity. Up to 24 hours notice is not required in the case of inspections, emergencies, required or routine maintenance. Up to 24 hours notice is required at all reasonable times for purposes of (i) performing scheduled maintenance, repairs or making alterations to the Premises or any other portion of the Building serviced in or about the Premises, including the erection and maintenance of such scaffolding, canopies, fences, and props as Landlord may reasonably require; (ii) posting notices to the interior of the Premises beyond the elevator lobby, such as notices of nonresponsibility or nonliability for alterations or repairs; or (iii) showing or submitting the Premises to prospective purchasers or tenants, all of which actions Landlord may
18
take without any abatement of Rent. Tenant agrees to cooperate with the showing of the Premises to prospective purchasers and tenants. Landlord agrees to limit leasing tours for the Premises except during the last six months of the Term. Prior to the sixth month before the end of the Term or upon Tenants notice of early termination, Landlord will use best efforts not to average more than one leasing tour per week. During the last six months before the end of the Term or upon Tenants notice of early termination, Landlord has no restriction on the number of tours per week. If Tenant has notified Landlord that it is terminating the Lease as provided in Section 1.C, then Landlords right to conduct leasing tours will commence immediately. Tenant hereby waives any claim for damages for any injury or inconvenience to or interferences with Tenants business, any loss of occupancy or quiet enjoyment of the Premises, and any other loss occasioned by such entry. Landlord will use reasonable efforts in order that the entrance to the Premises will not be blocked by the making of such alterations or the performing of such maintenance and that the business of Tenant will not thereby be interfered with unreasonably. For each of the aforesaid purposes, Landlord will at all times have and retain a key with which to unlock all of the doors in, upon, and about the Premises, excluding Tenants vaults, safes, file cabinets and desks, and Landlord may use any means which Landlord deems proper to open said doors in an emergency in order to obtain entry to the Premises. Any entry to the Premises obtained by Landlord by any of said means, or otherwise, will not under any circumstances be construed or deemed to be a forcible or unlawful entry into or a detainer of the Premises, or an eviction of Tenant from the Premises or any portion thereof. Landlord has the right to make alterations to or demolish the Building or erect other buildings on the real property adjacent thereto. Tenant will not in such event be entitled to any direct or consequential damages for any damage or inconvenience occasioned thereby, but Landlord will use its best efforts to accomplish such work in such a manner as to inconvenience Tenant as little as possible. In the event Tenant is deprived of the use of the Premises by reason of the demolition of the Building, this Lease will terminate without any liability of Landlord to Tenant.
20. Estoppel Certificates.
At any time not more than ten (10) days after a request is received from Landlord, Tenant will execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord, or to such party as Landlord may designate a written statement certifying the date of commencement of this Lease, that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or, if there have been any modifications of this Lease, that the Lease is in full force and effect as modified and stating the date and nature of the modification or modifications), that Landlord is not in default under this Lease (or, if there is any claimed default, stating the nature and extent thereof), that Tenant is not in default under this Lease (or, if Tenant is in default, specifying the nature and extent thereof), the current amounts of and the dates up to which Rent has been paid, the period for which Rent and other charges have been paid in advance, and any additional matters or information that may reasonably be requested by Landlord. It is expressly understood and agreed that any such statement delivered pursuant to this paragraph may be relied upon by any prospective purchaser of the Building or any lender, prospective lender, or any assignee or prospective assignee of any lender, and by any third person. Tenants failure to
19
deliver such a statement within said 10-day period will be conclusive against Tenant (i) that this Lease is in full force and effect, without modifications except as may be represented by Landlord, (ii) that there are no defaults in Landlords performance hereunder, and (iii) that not more than one months Rent has been paid in advance.
21. Abandonment of Premises.
Tenant will not vacate or abandon the Premises at any time during the Term. If Tenant abandons, vacates or surrenders the Premises, or is dispossessed by process of law or otherwise, any personal property belonging to Tenant and left in or on the Premises will be deemed to be abandoned, except as to such property as may be mortgaged to Landlord, and, at the option of Landlord, such property may be removed and stored in any public warehouse or elsewhere at the cost of and for the account of Tenant, and Landlord shall have a lien thereupon for the costs of removal and storage as well as all other sums which Tenant owes Landlord. At Landlords option, such property shall conclusively be deemed to have been conveyed by Tenant to Landlord as if by bill of sale without payment by Landlord.
22. Security Interest in Trade Fixtures; Removal by Tenant at End of Term.
Tenant grants Landlord a security in all trade fixtures, movable furniture and decorations (including art objects) in the Premises in order to secure the performance of all Tenants obligations under the Lease, if Tenant fully and faithfully performs all of Tenants obligations under this Lease, then Tenant may remove, and upon the request of Landlord will remove, at Tenants sole cost and expense, all trade fixtures, movable furniture and decorations installed in, on or about the Premises by Tenant, provided that such removal may be effected without damage to the Premises.
23. Surrender of Lease.
The voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by Tenant, accepted by Landlord, or the mutual cancellation hereof, will not work a merger and, at the option of Landlord, will either terminate any or all existing subleases or subtenancies or operate as an assignment to Landlord of any or all of such subleases or subtenancies.
24. Holding Over.
Any holding over after the expiration of the Term with the written consent of Landlord will be construed to be a tenancy from month to month at a rent equal to 150% of the Rent payable under this Lease during the last full month before the date of such expiration, provided that Landlord may specify a higher rent upon thirty (30) days notice. In addition, Tenant will indemnify Landlord and hold it harmless from and against all damages, costs, claims, causes of action, liabilities, and expenses (including, without limitation attorneys fees and expenses and claims for damages by any other person to whom Landlord may have leased all or any part of the Premises effective upon such expiration) sustained by Landlord by reason of such retention.
20
25. Grace Period.
A. No default or breach of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Lease will exist on the part of Landlord until (i) Tenant serves Landlord with a notice specifying with particularity the default or breach alleged to exist and (ii) Landlord fails to perform or observe said term, covenant or condition, as the case may be, within a reasonable time not to exceed thirty (30) days after receiving the notice.
B. If the Landlord is delayed or prevented from performing the act required by reason of acts of God, strikes, lockouts, labor troubles, inability to procure materials, restrictive laws, or any other cause beyond Landlords reasonable control, the performance of the act will be excused for the period of the delay, and the period for the performance of the act will be extended for a period equivalent to the period of such delay.
C. Tenant will not be in default for its first nonpayment of Rent or other monetary sum one (1) time during the Term until Landlord has provided Tenant with a written notice that such Rent or other sum is due and Tenant fails to pay such sum within three (3) days after receiving the notice. If Tenant breaches any of its other obligations under the Lease (Non-Monetary Breach), the same will not be a default unless Landlord notifies Tenant as provided in California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1162 of such Non-Monetary Breach and gives Tenant thirty (30) days to remedy the default. So long as the Non-Monetary Breach is so remedied within that thirty (30) days, that Non-Monetary Breach will not constitute a default under this Lease.
26. Landlords Remedies Upon Default.
A breach of this Lease by Tenant, if not cured as may be provided herein or by law, shall be a default. Landlord has the following remedies if Tenant defaults on this Lease. These remedies are not exclusive but are in addition to any rights and remedies now or later allowed by law or in equity.
A. Landlord may either terminate Tenants right of possession to the Premises, thereby terminating this Lease, or have this Lease continue in full force and effect with Tenant having the right of possession to the Premises. If Landlord elects to terminate Tenants right of possession to the Premises, then Landlord will have the immediate right of entry to and may remove all persons and property from the Premises. Such property so removed may be stored in a public warehouse or elsewhere at the cost and for the account of Tenant. Upon such termination Landlord, in addition to any other rights and remedies, including rights and remedies under Subparagraphs (1), (2) and (4) of Subdivision (a) of Section 1951.2 of the California Civil Code, or any amendment to or any successor law of that section, will be entitled to recover from Tenant the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent for the balance of the Term after the time of the, award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that the Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided. The amount Landlord may recover under Subparagraph (4) of Subdivision (a) of Section 1951.2 of the California Civil Code will include, without limitation, the cost of recovering possession of the
21
Premises, expenses of reletting (including advertising), brokerage commissions and fees, costs of placing the Premises in good order, condition and repair, including necessary maintenance and restoration of the Premises, attorneys fees, court costs and costs incurred in the appointment of and performance by a receiver to protect the Premises or Landlords interest under this Lease. The worth at the time of the award of the amount referred to in Subparagraph (3) of Subdivision (a) of Section 1951.2 of the California Civil Code will be computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of the award plus one percent (1%). The worth at the time of the award referred to in Subparagraphs (1) and (2) of Subdivision (a)f of Section 1951.2 of the California Civil Code will be computed by allowing interest at the maximum rate permitted by law. Prior to such-award, Landlord may relet the Premises for the purpose of mitigating damages suffered by Landlord because of Tenants failure to perform its obligations hereunder.
B. Any proof by Tenant under Subparagraphs (2) or (3) of Subdivision (a) of Section 1951.2 of the California Civil Code of the amount of rental loss that could be reasonably avoided will be made in the following manner: Landlord and Tenant will each select a licensed real estate broker in the business of renting property of the same type and Purpose as the Premises and in the same geographic vicinity; these two brokers will select a third licensed real estate broker of similar qualifications; the two brokers selected by the parties will determine the amount of rental loss that could be reasonably avoided for the balance of the Term after the time of the award. The third broker will then decide which of the two brokers has made the better determination of the worth the time of the award, and his decision will be final and binding on the parties.
C. If Landlord elects to keep this Lease in full force and effect with Tenant retaining the right of possession to the Premises (notwithstanding the fact that Tenant may have vacated or abandoned the Premises), Landlord may enforce all of its rights and remedies under this Lease or allowed by law or in equity including, but not limited to, the right to recover the installments of Rent as they become due under this Lease; additionally, the Landlord has the remedy described in California Civil Code Section 1951.4 (lessor may continue lease in effect after lessees breach and abandonment and recover rent as it becomes due, if lessee has right to sublet or assign, subject only to reasonable limitations). Notwithstanding any such election to have this Lease remain in full force and effect, Landlord may at any time thereafter elect to terminate Tenants right of possession to the Premises, thereby terminating this Lease, for any previous breach or default which remains uncured, or for any existing or subsequent breach or default. For purposes of Landlords right to continue this Lease in effect upon Tenants breach or default, acts of maintenance or preservation or efforts by Landlord to relet the Premises or the appointment of a receiver on initiative of Landlord to protect its interest under this Lease do not constitute a termination of Tenants right of possession.
D. If Landlord elects to keep this Lease in full force and effect, Landlord may, as attorney-in-fact of Tenant sublet the Premises, or any part thereof, from time to time and for such tenant, at such rent, and upon such other terms, covenants and conditions as Landlord in its sole discretion may deem advisable with the unqualified right to make
22
alterations, effect restoration, and perform maintenance to the Premises. Upon each such subletting (i) Tenant will be responsible for, in addition to Tenants indebtedness to Landlord other than Rent due hereunder, the costs of such subletting and of such alterations, restoration and maintenance incurred by Landlord (except, as to alterations or restoration, if the alterations or restoration exceed building standard, Tenant is not responsible for the portion of such costs that exceed building standard unless previously approved by Tenant), and the amount by which the Rent hereunder for the period of such subletting (to the extent such period does not exceed the Term hereof) exceeds the amount agreed to be paid as Rent for the Premises for the period of such subletting, or (ii) at the option of Landlord, rents received from such subletting will be applied: first, to the payment of Tenants indebtedness to Landlord other than Rent due hereunder; second, to the payment of costs of such subletting and of such alterations, restoration and maintenance; third, to the payment of Rent due and unpaid hereunder; and fourth, the residue, if any, to be held by Landlord and applied in payment of future Rent as the same becomes due hereunder. If Tenant has been credited with any rent to be received by such subletting and such rent is not promptly paid to Landlord by the subtenant(s), or if such rent received from such subletting during any month is less than the Rent to be paid during that month by Tenant hereunder, Tenant will pay any such deficiency to Landlord. Such deficiency will be calculated and paid monthly on the date Rent is due and payable hereunder. No taking possession of the Premises by Landlord, as attorney-in-fact for Tenant, will be construed as an election on Landlords part to terminate this Lease unless a notice of such election is given to Tenant. Notwithstanding any such subletting without termination of this Lease, Landlord may at any time thereafter elect to terminate this Lease for any previous, existing or subsequent breach or default. At Landlords option and application a receiver for Tenant will be appointed to take possession of the Premises, to exercise Landlords right to sublet the Premises as attorney-in-fact for Tenant, and to apply any rent collected from the Premises as provided herein.
E. Nothing in this paragraph affects Landlords right to indemnification for liability arising prior to the termination of the Lease for damage to person or property.
F. If Tenant is in default in the performance of any term, covenant or condition to be performed by it under this Lease, then, after notice and without waiving or releasing Tenant from the performance of such term, covenant or condition, Landlord may, but will not be obligated to, perform the same, and, in exercising any such right, may pay necessary and incidental costs and expenses in connection therewith. All sums so paid by Landlord, together with interest thereon at the maximum rate of interest allowed by law, will be deemed Additional Rent hereunder and will be payable to Landlord by Tenant on the next rent-paying day.
G. Rent not paid when due bears interest, in addition to any late charge provided hereunder, at the maximum rate of interest allowed by law from the date due until paid.
H. No security or guaranty which may now or hereafter be furnished Landlord for the payment of the Base Rental or for performance by Tenant of the other terms,
23
covenants or conditions of this Lease will in any way be a bar or defense to any action in unlawful detainer, for the recovery of the Premises, or to any action which Landlord may at anytime commence for a breach of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Lease.
27. Attorneys Fees on Default.
If either Landlord or Tenant obtain legal counsel or bring an action against the other for any reason relating to of arising out of this Lease, the unsuccessful party will pay to the prevailing party its attorneys fees, which will be payable whether or not such action is prosecuted to judgment. The term prevailing party includes, without limitation, a party who obtains substantially the relief sought whether by compromise, settlement or judgment.
28. Insolvency.
Any of the following is a breach of this Lease by Tenant and a default hereunder:
A. The appointment a receiver to take possession of all or substantially all of the assets of Tenant; or
B. A general assignment by Tenant for the benefit of creditors; or
C. Any action taken or suffered by Tenant under any insolvency, bankruptcy, or reorganization act; or
D. The admission by Tenant in writing of its inability to pay its debts as they become due; or
E. The levying of execution upon any interest of Tenant in or under this Lease or upon the property of Tenant within the Premises, unless the same will be bonded against or discharged within twenty (20) days following the levy or within five (5) days prior to the proposed sale thereunder, whichever is earlier; or
F. The attachment or garnishment of any interest of Tenant in, to, or under this Lease or upon the property of Tenant in the Premises, unless it is discharged within twenty (20) days after the levy thereof.
Upon any such event, this Lease terminates five (5) days after receipt by Tenant of notice of termination; provided, however, that notwithstanding such termination, Landlord may enforce its remedies under Paragraph 26 and provided further that neither such termination nor such exercise of remedies will terminate the right of Landlord or any lender to enforce any indemnifies given by Tenant under this Lease. In no event will this Lease be assigned or assignable by reason of any voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy proceedings, nor will any rights or privileges hereunder be an asset of Tenant in any bankruptcy, insolvency, or reorganization proceedings, except at the election of Landlord so to treat the same. In the event this Lease is assumed and assigned by Tenants trustee in bankruptcy, Landlord will require that such assignee
24
deposit with it security in an amount equal to Landlords then standard security deposit requirements for similar tenants of the Building.
29. Assignment or Subletting.
A. Tenant will not, directly or indirectly, voluntarily or involuntarily, assign, pledge, encumber, or otherwise transfer this Lease or any interest therein, and will not sublet the Premises or any part thereof or any right or privilege appurtenant thereto, or permit any other person (the authorized representatives of Tenant excepted) to occupy or use the Premises or any portion thereof (collectively assign) without first receiving the written consent of Landlord. Landlord agrees not to unreasonably withhold such consent, but may in lieu of granting such consent terminate this Lease or exercise its other rights as hereinafter provided. Any such assignment without Landlords consent will be void and will, at the option of Landlord, constitute a default hereunder entitling Landlord to terminate this Lease and giving rise to all other remedies available to Landlord for breach of this Lease. A consent to one assignment will not be deemed to be a consent to any other or further assignment. This Lease and any interest in it will not be assignable as to the interest of Tenant by operation of law without the prior written consent of Landlord.
B. If Tenant contemplates an action under Subparagraph A, Tenant will give Landlord forty-five (45) days notice thereof, designating the terms proposed and, if a sublease, the term thereof and space proposed to be sublet. Tenant will also provide a current financial statement of any proposed assignee and any further information which Landlord may reasonably request. Landlord may, upon notice to Tenant within thirty (30) days after receipt of Tenants notice of intention to assign, (i) assign from Tenant any portion of the Premises proposed by Tenant to be assigned, for the term for which such portion is proposed to be assigned, but at the same Rent as Tenant is required to pay to Landlord under this Lease for the same space, computed on a pro rata share of rentable square footage basis, (ii) terminate this as it pertains to the portion of the Premises so proposed by Tenant to be assigned, (iii) approve Tenants proposal to assign, subject to Landlords subsequent written approval of the specific agreement between Tenant and the proposed assignee, or (iv) terminate this Lease in its entirety if, after said subleasing or assignment, Tenant will have then subleased or assigned more than 50% of the original square footage of the Premises. Upon acceptance of the offer to terminate this Lease as it pertains to the portion of the Premises Tenant seeks to assign or upon acceptance of the offer to terminate this Lease in its entirety, this Lease (in its entirety or as it pertains to said portion, as the case may be) will terminate as of the end of the calendar month in which such notice of acceptance is given to Tenant. Tenant must then vacate and surrender all or such portion of the Premises and the provisions of this Lease applicable to termination upon expiration of the Term will apply to all or to such portion of the Premises. Such termination will not relieve Tenant from liability for any breach or default with respect to all or such portion of the Premises occurring prior to termination.
C. For the purposes of this paragraph, the following events will be deemed an assignment of this Lease or a sublease of the Premises, as appropriate: (i) the
25
issuance of an equity interest (whether a stock or partnership interest or otherwise)to any person or group of related persons, in a single transaction or a series of related or unrelated transactions such that, following such issuance, such person or group will have control of Tenant; (ii) a transfer of control in a single transaction or a series of related or unrelated transactions (including, without limitation, by consolidation, merger, or reorganization), except that the transfer of outstanding stock of any corporate Tenant by persons or parties other than insiders within the meaning of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, through any recognized national or international securities exchange or through the over-the-counter market will not be included in the determination of whether control has been transferred; (iii) a dissolution of a corporation, partnership, limited liability company other entity; or (iv) the sale or transfer of substantially all the assets of the Tenant to another party. For purposes of this paragraph, control will mean ownership of not less than 50% of the voting stock of a corporation or of not less than 50% of the legal or equitable interest in any other business entity.
D. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 29, a corporate Tenant will have the right in the event of a merger, consolidation, reorganization, sale of all or substantially all of its assets or recapitalization, whether or not Tenant survives as the surviving corporation, to assign or transfer this Lease to such surviving corporation; provided, however, such right of assignment or transfer will be limited to an assignee (i) whose net worth is equal to or greater than the net worth of Tenant at the time of such assignment or transfer and (ii) whose historical profitability (in both duration and amount) is equal to or greater than Tenant, as viewed at the time of the proposed assignment or transfer. In the event Tenant contemplates making an assignment or transfer as provided in this subparagraph, Tenant will give thirty (30) days notice to Landlord of its intention to make such assignment or transfer and will furnish Landlord with all pertinent information as to the net worth of the proposed assignee or transferee.
E. In all events, if this Lease is assigned other than to Landlord, Tenant will continue to be primarily liable under this Lease and the assignee will execute an agreement by which it assumes and agrees to be jointly and severally liable for the complete performance by Tenant of its obligations hereunder.
F. Tenant irrevocably assigns to Landlord, as security for the performance of Tenants obligations under this Lease, all rent from any assignment of all or any part of the Premises. A receiver for Tenant, appointed on Landlords application, may collect such rent and apply it toward Tenants obligations under this Lease except that, until the occurrence of an act of default by Tenant, Tenant will have the right to collect such rent.
G. In no event may Tenant assign this Lease or sublet the Premises, or any portion thereof, to any then-existing or prospective tenant of the Building without first obtaining Landlords prior written authorization which Landlord may withhold in the exercise of its sole discretion. In addition, neither Tenant nor any other person having an interest in the possession, use, occupancy, or utilization of space of the Premises will enter into any lease, sublease, license, concession, or other agreement for use, occupancy, or utilization of space in the Premises which provides for rental or other
26
payment for such occupancy, or utilization based in whole or in part on the net income or profits derived by any person from the property leased, used, occupied, or utilized (other than an amount based on a fixed percentage or percentages of receipt or sales) and any such purported lease, sublease, license, concession, or other agreement is void and ineffective as a conveyance of any right or interest in the possession, use, occupancy, or utilization of any part of the Premises.
H. Tenant will pay to Landlord the amount of Landlords reasonable cost of processing every proposed assignment (including, without limitation, the cost of attorneys and other professional fees and the administrative, accounting, and clerical time of Landlord) not to exceed $2,500, and the amount of all reasonable direct and indirect expenses as well as a minimum fee to Landlord of $500 arising from any assignees or subtenants taking occupancy (including, without limitation, the expenses of freight elevator operation for the moving of furnishings, trade fixtures and other personal property, security service, janitorial and cleaning service, and rubbish removal service). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the assignee or sublessee is an entity of which Tenant owns at least 51% of, then the minimum fee of $500 is waived but Tenant must comply with all other provisions of this Section 29. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, Landlord will have no obligation to process any request for its consent to assignment or sublease prior to Landlords receipt of payment by Tenant of the amount of Landlords estimate of the processing costs and expenses and all other direct and indirect costs and expenses of Landlord and its authorized representatives arising from such matter.
I. If Landlord consents to any assignment or subletting, 50% of the amount by which all consideration received by Tenant in connection with such assignment or subletting (less any brokerage commissions paid by Tenant for such assignment or subletting), whether denominated as rent or otherwise, exceeds the consideration which Tenant is obligated to pay Landlord under this Lease will be paid to Landlord promptly after receipt as additional Rent under the Lease without affecting or reducing any other obligation of Tenant hereunder. If less than the entire Premises is assigned or sublet, Tenants rental obligations shall be prorated based upon the amount of space assigned or sublet. (For example, if Tenant was leasing space at $3.00 per rentable square foot per month and subleased four (4) offices in the Premises, containing a total of 1,000 rentable square feet, for $4,000 per month, Tenant would owe the Landed the sum of $500.00 per month, calculated as follows: Sublease rent of $4,000 minus Tenants prorated rent for that space of $3,000 (1,000 sq. ft. sublet times $3.00/sq. ft.) times 50%.
30. Transfer by Landlord Release from Liability.
If Landlord sells or transfers the Building, or assigns its interest as Landlord in this Lease, then, from the effective date of such sale, assignment or transfer, Landlord will be released from all further liability to Tenant, express or implied, under this Lease, and Tenant agrees to look solely to the successor in interest of Landlord in and to the Building or this Lease, except as to any matters of liability based upon Landlords action prior to transfer or that have accrued and remain unsatisfied as of the date of such sale,
27
assignment or transfer. It is intended that the covenants and obligations contained in this Lease on the part of Landlord will be binding upon Landlord and its successors and assigns only during their respective periods of ownership of the fee or leasehold estate, as the case may be. If any security is given by Tenant to secure the faithful performance of all or any part of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease on the part of Tenant, Landlord may transfer and deliver the security to the successor in interest of Landlord, and thereupon Landlord will be discharged from any further liability in reference thereto. Landlord may enter into any transaction described in this paragraph without the consent of Tenant.
31. Damage.
If the Premises or the Building is damaged from any caused covered by Landlords and/or Tenants insurance, Landlord will forthwith repair such damage provided the cost of repair does not exceed the insurance proceeds available from the insurance carried by both parties, and provided further that such repairs can be made within ninety (90) days after such damage occurs. This Lease will remain in full force and effect during the period such repairs are being made. Such damage will not in any way void or render voidable this Lease or any provision hereof. If such damage was caused by any risk not covered by Landlords or Tenants insurance, or if the cost of repairs exceeds the insurance proceeds payable from the parties, Landlord may, at its option, make such repairs, provided the repairs can be made within ninety (90) days after such damage occurs, and, in such event, this Lease will remain in full force and effect and will be neither void nor voidable. If Landlord elects not to make repairs it is not obligated to make, or if such repairs cannot be made within the 90-day period, this Lease may be terminated by either party upon notice and without liability to the other party. If either Landlord or Tenant gives notice of termination as provided herein, this Lease and all interests of Tenant in the Premises will terminate on the date specified in the notice. Landlord will under no circumstances be required to repair any damage by fire or any other cause, whether of a similar or dissimilar nature, to the property of Tenant. Tenant hereby specifically waives the provisions of Section 1932, Subdivision 2 and Section 1933, Subdivision 4, of the California Civil Code. In the event the Building is damaged to the extent of more than twenty percent (20%) of the then replacement cost thereof, Landlord may elect to terminate this Lease, whether the Premises are damaged or not and without liability to Tenant. A total destruction of the Premises or of the Building will terminate this Lease without liability of Landlord to Tenant.
32. Condemnation.
A. As used in this Lease, condemn is coextensive with the phrase right of eminent domain, i.e., the right of people or government to take property for government or public use, and will| include the intention to condemn expressed in writing as well as the filing of any action or proceeding for condemnation.
B. If any action or proceeding is commenced for the condemnation of the Building or any part thereof, or if Landlord is advised in writing by any agency, entity or
28
body having the right or power of condemnation of its intention to condemn the same, then Landlord may:
(i) Without any obligation or liability to Tenant, and without affecting the validity and existence of this Lease other than as hereinafter provided, agree to sell or convey to the condemnor the part or portion of the Premises or Building sought by the condemnor free from this Lease and the rights of Tenant hereunder. Such agreement may be made without first requiring that any action or proceeding be instituted, or if such action or proceeding will have been instituted, without requiring any trial or hearing thereof, and Landlord is expressly empowered to stipulate to judgment therein.
(ii) Terminate this Lease and all rights of Tenant hereunder.
(iii) Continue this Lease in full force and effect, provided that such condemnation does not result in a taking of the Premises. If this Lease continues in full force and effect and by reason of the condemnation an alteration of the Building is required, and such alteration materially interferes with Tenants business in the Premises, then Tenant will be entitled to a reasonable abatement in Rent during the period of such modification or alteration to the extent such work interferes with Tenants business.
C. If a portion of the Premises is permanently condemned and taken, and such condemnation and taking materially affects Tenants business in the Premises, then Tenant will have the option of either terminating all of its obligations under this Lease or continuing this Lease in full force and effect with respect to such portion of the Premises not taken. In such latter event, Rent for the remainder of the Term will be reduced in the proportion which the rentable square footage of the Premises taken bears to the total rentable square footage of the original Premises.
D. If, as a result of any such condemnation proceedings, a leasehold interest or right of possession only is so condemned or taken for a period of time less than the then unexpired Term of this Lease, this Lease will continue in full force and effect and any condemnation award will be payable to Landlord and will be credited by Landlord against the Rent payable by Tenant for said period. If the amount received by Landlord is in excess of said Rent, Tenant will be entitled to receive such excess, and, if the amount so received by Landlord is less than said Rent, then Tenant will pay the amount of such deficiency to Landlord, if such condemnation is for a period of time extending beyond the expiration of the Term of this Lease, the foregoing provisions will apply only up to the date of expiration of the Term. Upon said expiration, Landlord will receive all awards thereafter payable, and no accounting will be made to Tenant for such period extending beyond said expiration.
E. All compensation and damages awarded for the taking of the Premises, Building, or any portion or portions thereof, will, except as otherwise herein provided, belong to and be the sole property of Landlord, and Tenant will not have any claim or be entitled to any award for diminution in value of its leasehold interest hereunder or for the
29
value of any unexpired Term of this Lease; provided, however, Tenant will be entitled to any separate award that may be made for the taking of or damage to, or on account of any cost or damage Tenant may sustain in the removal of, Tenants merchandise, fixtures, trade fixtures, equipment and furnishings.
F. If this Lease is terminated, in whole or in part, under this paragraph, all Rent and other charges payable by Tenant to Landlord hereunder and attributable to the Premises taken will be paid up to the date upon which actual physical possession will be taken by the condemnor, and the parties will thereupon be released from all further liability in relation thereto.
33. Subordination to Encumbrances
This Lease, and the leasehold estate created hereby, is at all times subject to and subordinate to any lien or encumbrance, and replacements thereof, in any amount whatsoever now existing or hereafter placed on or against the Building or any part thereof, or against Landlords interest or estate therein, without the necessity of having further instruments executed on the part of Tenant to effectuate such subordination. However, Landlord or any lender may elect to make this Lease prior and superior to any lien and encumbrance placed or to be placed by Landlord upon or against the Premises or Building, or any part thereof, which election will, of and by itself and without further notice to or act or agreement of Tenant, make this Lease and the estate created hereby prior and superior to any lien or encumbrance, whether presently existing or hereinafter created. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant covenants and agrees to execute and deliver upon demand such further instrument evidencing such superiority or subordination of this Lease to such liens or encumbrances as may be required by Landlord or any lender. Tenant hereby irrevocably appoints Landlord its attorney-in-fact to execute and deliver any instrument or instruments for or in the name of Tenant to effectuate such actions. In the event of foreclosure or exercise of any power of sale under any lien or encumbrance superior to this Lease or to which this Lease is subject or subordinate, Tenant will, upon demand, attorn to the purchaser any foreclosure sale or pursuant to the exercise of any power of sale, in which event this Lease will not terminate, and Tenant will automatically be and become the Tenant of said purchaser upon the same terms, covenants and conditions as are contained in this Lease. In the event of attornment, no lender shall be: (i) liable for any act or omission of Landlord, or subject to any offsets or defenses which Tenant might have against Landlord (prior to such lender becoming Landlord under such attornment), (ii) liable for any security deposit or bound by any prepaid Rent not actually received by lender, or (iii) bound by any future modifications of this Lease not consented to by such lender. If, in connection with Landlords obtaining financing for the Building, the lender requests reasonable modifications in this Lease as a condition to such financing, Tenant will not unreasonably withhold, delay or defer its consent thereto, provided that such modifications do not increase the obligations of Tenant hereunder or materially adversely affect the leasehold interest hereby created or Tenants rights hereunder. In the event of any default on the part of Landlord, Tenant will file notice by registered or certified mail to any beneficiary of a deed of trust or mortgagee under a mortgage covering the Property or the Building whose address has been disclosed Tenant, and
30
offer such beneficiary or mortgagee a reasonable opportunity to cure the default, not less than thirty (30) days in any event, including time to obtain possession of the Property or the Building by power of sale or a judicial foreclosure, if such should prove necessary to effect a cure. Tenant shall execute such documentation as Landlord may reasonably request from time to time, in order to confirm the matters set forth in this paragraph in recordable form.
34. Relocation.
Landlord shall have the right, at its option upon not less than sixty (60) days prior written notice to Tenant, to relocate Tenant and to substitute for the Premises described above other space in the Building containing at least as much contiguous rentable area as the Premises described in Section 1A above. The relocation premises will be located on the same or higher floor in the Building and shall contain improvements that are at least substantially the same in quantity and quality as the Premises. If Tenant is already in occupancy of the Premises, then Landlord shall approve in advance the relocation expenses for purposes of reimbursement for Tenants reasonable moving, build out, electrical services and telephone relocation expenses (including building a server room and associated cabling), so as to create in the new space in a substantially similar space build out and operation as exists in the Premises and for reasonable quantities of new stationery and business cards upon submission to Landlord of receipts for such expenditures incurred by Tenant. The relocation premises will then become the Premises hereunder and the Rent and other sums payable hereunder will be adjusted, if necessary, to reflect any increase or decrease in the square footage of the Premises, provided, however, that if the relocation occurs during the initial Term then Rent will not be increased and further provided that if the relocation occurs during the first renewal term, then Rent will not be increased unless the increase in square footage results in additional built-out offices (as opposed to common areas such as reception areas or corridors) and is utilized by Tenant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Tenant is unwilling to accept any relocation premises proposed by Landlord, Tenant may terminate this Lease upon written notice to Landlord delivered within ten days following the date Tenant receives Landlords notice as set forth above. In the event of such termination, Tenant will vacate the Premises within sixty (60) days following the date written notice of termination is delivered to Landlord and, in such event, this Lease will be terminated on the date the Premises are vacated and possession thereof is returned to Landlord.
35. Communications and Computer Lines.
A. Tenant shall not alter, modify, add to or disturb any telecommunications wiring or cabling not exclusively located within the Premise or elsewhere in the Building without Landlords prior written consent. Landlord shall provide and maintain, at no expense to Tenant (other than as an item of Direct Expenses), telephone riser space in the Building core adequate to accommodate the telecommunications needs of a general office tenant and lines and conduit in Building risers or pathways that provide a continuous connection of intrabuilding telecommunications cabling from a distribution frame located in an access controlled area on the floor of the Premises (the IDF) to the
31
main telecommunications demarcation point located in the ground or basement level floors of the Building (the MPOE); provided, however, Landlord shall have no obligation (and Tenant shall have no right) to increase the capacity of the existing telecommunications riser and distribution facilities and/or cabling in the Building. By its acceptance of possession of the Premises, Tenant shall be deemed to have agreed that the existing number and type of lines serving the Premises is adequate for Tenants occupancy. The number and type of lines presently allocated to Tenant at the IDF shall not be increased or added to without the prior written consent of Landlord. Any and all telecommunications equipment and cabling serving Tenant and the Premises and connecting to or from the IDF shall be located solely in the Premises, and Tenant shall only be permitted to access the IDF, with the Prior written consent of Landlord and for purposes of confirming interconnection with the Buildings riser facilities. Only Landlord and/or Landlords approved installers are authorized to install and/or connect additional telecom lines (including, voice, data, video, cable and other) from the MPOE and/or the IDF to the Premises, and such work shall be at Tenants expense. Tenant shall maintain and repair all telecommunication cabling and wiring within or exclusively serving the Premises. Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for any damage to the telecommunications cabling and wiring in the Building due to the act (negligent or otherwise) of Tenant or any employee, agent or contractor of Tenant. Tenant hereby waives any claim against Landlord for any damages if Tenants telecommunications services and/or equipment are in any way interrupted, damaged or otherwise interfered with, except to the extent caused by the gross negligence or willful or criminal misconduct of Landlord, its agents or employees; provided that in no event shall any such interruption, damage or interference entitle Tenant to any consequential damages (including damages for loss of business) or relieve Tenant of any of its obligations under this Lease. Landlord reserves the right to limit the number of local exchange carriers and competitive alternative telecommunications providers (collectively TSPs) having access to the Buildings riser system and infrastructure, and Landlord reserves the right to charge TSPs for the use of Landlords telecommunications riser system and infrastructure; provided, however, in all cases, Landlord will provide Building and riser access to at least one TSP for dial tone telecommunications service to tenants of the Building.
B. Tenant may, in a manner consistent with the provisions and requirements of this Lease, including subparagraph A above, install, maintain, replace, remove or use any communications or computer wires, cable and related devices (collectively the Lines) in or serving the Premises, provided: (a) Tenant obtains Landlords prior written consent, which consent may be conditioned as required by Landlord, (b) if Tenant at any time uses any equipment that may create an electromagnetic field exceeding the normal insulation ratings of ordinary twisted pair riser cable or cause radiation higher than normal background radiation, the Lines therefor (including riser cables) must be appropriately insulated to prevent such excessive electromagnetic fields or radiation, (c) Tenant may not install mini satellite dishes (e.g., Direct TV) in the Premises, and (d) Tenant will pay all costs in connection therewith. Landlord reserves the right to require that Tenant remove any Lines which are installed in violation of these provisions.
32
C. Landlord may, but is not obligated to: (i) install new Lines in the Building, and (ii) create additional space for Lines in the Building, and adopt reasonable and uniform rules and regulations with respect to the Lines.
D. Tenant may not, without the prior written consent of Landlord in each instance, grant to any third party a security interest or lien in or on the Lines, and any such security interest or lien granted without Landlords written consent is null and void. Except to the extent arising from the intentional or negligent acts of Landlord or Landlords agents or employees, Landlord has no liability for damages arising from, and Landlord does not warrant that Tenants use of any Lines will be free from the following (collectively called Line Problems): (x) any eavesdropping or wire-tapping by unauthorized parties, (y) any failure of any Lines to satisfy Tenants requirements, or (z) any shortages, failures, variations, interruptions, disconnections, loss or damage caused by the installation, maintenance, replacement, use or removal of Lines by or for other tenants or occupants at the Property. Under no circumstances will any Line Problems be deemed an actual or constructive eviction of Tenant, render Landlord liable to Tenant for abatement of Rent, or relieve Tenant from performance of Tenants obligations under this Lease. Landlord will in no event be liable for damages by reason of loss of profits, business interruption or other consequential damage arising from any Line Problems.
E. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall remove, at its sole cost and expense (and by installers approved by Landlord), all telecommunications lines and cabling within the Premises and/or exclusively serving the Premises.
F. Tenant releases Landlord and waives any and all claims for damages, losses and expenses against Landlord arising from or relating to any interruption or failure to furnish or maintain telecommunications services; no interruption of telecommunication service shall constitute a constructive eviction or entitle Tenant to an abatement of Rent
36. Effect of Exercise of or Failure to Exercise Privilege.
Neither the exercise of nor the failure to exercise any right, option, or privilege hereunder by Landlord or Tenant will exclude such party from exercising any and all other rights, options, or privileges hereunder at any other time, nor will such exercise or nonexercise relieve Landlord or Tenant from their obligation to perform each and every term, covenant and condition to be performed hereunder, or from damages or other remedy for failure to perform or meet their obligations under this Lease.
37. Waiver.
The waiver by Landlord or Tenant of any performance or breach of any term, covenant or condition contained herein will not be deemed to be a waiver of such term, covenant or condition, or of any subsequent or continuing breach of the same, or of any other term, covenant or condition contained herein. Nor will any custom or practice that
33
may arise between the parties in the administration of the provisions of this Lease be deemed a waiver of, or in any way affect, the right of Landlord or Tenant to insist upon the performance by the other party hereto in strict accordance with the provisions of this Lease. The subsequent acceptance of Rent hereunder by Landlord will not be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding breach by Tenant of any term, covenant or condition of this Lease other than Tenants breach in failing to pay the particular Rent so accepted regardless of Landlords knowledge of such additional preceding breach at the time of the acceptance of such Rent.
38. Labor Relations.
Tenant will conduct its labor relations and its relations with its employees so as to attempt to avoid all strikes, picketing, and boycotts of, on, or about the Premises or the Building. If any of Tenants employees strike or if a picket line or a boycott is established, conducted or carried out against Tenant or its employees, or any of them, Tenant, on Landlords request, will forthwith cease operations in and upon the Premises and remain closed until all disputes are settled. This does not apply to random boycotts or demonstrations not related to Tenants employees or Tenants business activities.
39. Notices.
All notices under this Lease will be in writing personally delivered or sent by United States certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, or overnight courier, and addressed: if to Tenant, at the Premises, or at such other address as Tenant may from time to time designate by giving notice thereof to Landlord under this paragraph; and if to Landlord, at the Building office, or at such other address as Landlord may from time to time designate by giving notice thereof to Tenant under this paragraph. Mailed notice will be deemed given 48 hours after the date of postmark. For the purpose of serving notices under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1161, et seq., Tenant reaffirms the representations made in Section 1.I. above.
40. Entire Agreement; Amendments.
This Lease represents the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the parties rights and duties under this Lease, and no promises or representations, express or implied, whether written or oral, not set forth herein will be binding upon or inure to the benefit of Landlord or Tenant. Tenant acknowledges that neither Landlord nor any authorized representative of Landlord, or any other person purporting to act on Landlords behalf, has made any representation, warranty, or statement with respect to the amount of taxes that may or will be assessed against the Premises, the cost of any insurance required to be maintained by Tenant hereunder, or any other matter relating to this Lease that is not expressly covered in this Lease. With respect to such matters, Tenant is relying upon its own independent investigation and sources of information, and Tenant expressly waives any right Tenant might otherwise have to rescind this Lease or to claim damages by reason of Tenants misunderstanding or mistake. This Lease will not be amended or modified by any oral agreement, either express or
34
implied; all amendments and modifications hereof will be in writing and signed by both Landlord and Tenant.
41. Landmark.
Tenant acknowledges that the Building has been declared a Historical Landmark in the City and County of San Francisco, and agrees to be bound by all of the applicable rules and regulations related thereto.
42. Light and Air.
Tenant covenants and agrees that no diminution of light, air or view by any structure which may hereafter be erected (whether or not by Landlord) will entitle Tenant to any reduction of Rent hereunder, result in any liability of Landlord to Tenant, or in any other way affect this Lease.
43. Auctions and Signs.
Tenant will not conduct any auctions in, upon, or from the Premises, affix any signs, awnings, notices, or other advertising matter to the Premises, or issue or circulate any advertising matter in the Building without the prior written consent of Landlord. The design and character of any such signs, awnings, notices, or other advertising matter will also be subject to Landlords prior written approval.
44. Execution, Recordation.
Submission of instrument for examination or signature by Tenant does not constitute a reservation of an option for a lease, and this instrument will not be effective as a lease or otherwise until execution and delivery by both Landlord and Tenant. Tenant will not record this Lease or any memorandum of this Lease.
45. Tenants Authority.
If Tenant is a corporation, partnership, trust, association, or other entity, Tenant and each person executing this Lease on behalf of Tenant hereby covenant and warrant that (i) Tenant is duly incorporated or otherwise established or formed and validly existing under the laws of its state of incorporation, establishment, or formation; (ii) Tenant has and is duly qualified to do business in California; (iii) Tenant has full corporate, partnership, trust, association, or other appropriate power and authority to enter into this Lease and to perform all of Tenants obligations hereunder; (iv) each person (and all persons if more than one signs) signing this Lease on behalf of Tenant is duly and validly authorized to do so; and (v) when executed by both parties, this Lease and all of terms and conditions contained herein will be binding and enforceable against Tenant.
35
46. Limitation of Tenants Remedies.
If Tenant obtains a judgment against Landlord, Tenant agrees to look solely to Landlords interest in the Building for recovery.
47. Time and Applicable Law.
Time is of the essence of this Lease and each and all of its provisions. This Lease will be construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of California. Tenant, Landlord and any Guarantor, consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of any federal or state court located within the City and County of San Francisco, California and any other court in which Landlord may initiate equitable or legal proceedings which has subject matter jurisdiction over the matter in controversy. Tenant waives any right to remove a state court action to federal court on ground of diversity of citizenship and consents to remand any action filed in federal court to the California state superior court. Tenant waives any objection of forum non conveniens and venue. Tenant, and any guarantor, waives personal service of process and consents to service of process being made in the same manner as notices are given.
48. Name.
Tenant will not use the name of the Building for any purpose other than as the address of the business conducted by Tenant in the Premises.
49. Provisions are Covenants and Conditions.
All provisions, whether set forth herein as covenants or conditions on the part of Tenant are deemed both covenants and conditions.
50. Severability.
The unenforceability, invalidity, or illegality of any provision of this Lease, for any reason, will not render its other provisions unenforceable, invalid, or illegal, in such an event, this Lease will be equitably construed as if it did not contain the invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision to the extent permitted by applicable law, it being the intent of the parties that this Lease will be enforced to the greatest extent possible.
51. Captions.
The table of contents and the headings to the paragraphs of this Lease are for convenience only, are not part of this Lease, and will have no effect on the construction or interpretation hereof.
52. Successors.
This Lease, subject to the provisions as to assignment and sublease, apply to, inure to the benefit of, and bind the heirs, successors, administrators, executors, and assigns of the parties hereto.
36
53. Relationship of Parties.
Neither anything contained in this Lease nor any acts of the parties will be construed to create any relationship between the parties other than that of Landlord and Tenant.
54. Temporary Space.
Subject to timely execution of this Lease, Landlord will make all reasonable efforts to deliver the Premises to Tenant so as to allow Tenant to move-in to the Premises on October 10, 2008. If the Premises are not ready for occupancy within thirty (30) days of the estimated completion date in Exhibit B, then Landlord will provide Tenant with temporary space in the Building, if such space is available, to be used and occupied by Tenant. Tenant shall occupy the Temporary Space free of base rent, and shall be responsible only for utilities and other similar costs, until such time as possession of the Premises is delivered to Tenant.
55. Brokers.
Tenant warrants and represents to Landlord that it has had no dealings with any real estate broker or agent or any other party who could be entitled to a commission or finders fee in connection with the negotiation of this lease, except as set forth in paragraph 1.L. above. There is no real estate brokerage other than what Landlord is paying Grubb & Ellis by separate agreement, provided, however, that such commission paid by Landlord to Grubb & Ellis shall include an amount equal to $1.50 per square foot per Lease year, not to exceed a total of $10.00 per square foot, which Grubb & Ellis shall pay to Tenants broker one-half upon full execution of the Lease documents and one-half on the earlier of occupancy or Lease commencement. Grubb & Ellis will hold Landlord harmless from any claim by Tenants broker.
56. Interpretation.
The parties acknowledge that each party has reviewed and revised, and has been provided the opportunity of its respective counsel to review and revise, this Lease, and no rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party may be employed in the interpretation or construction of this Lease, or any amendments or exhibits hereto, or any other document executed and delivered by either party in connection herewith.
57. Force Majeure.
Except as may be otherwise specifically provided herein, time periods for performance under this Lease not involving the payment of money will be extended for periods of time during which the nonperforming partys performance is prevented due to circumstances beyond the partys control, including, without limitation, strikes, embargoes, governmental regulations, inability to obtain permits, acts of God, war or other strife. Tenant waives its right to terminate this Lease under Section 1932(I) of the
37
California Civil Code or under any similar law, statute or ordinance now or hereafter in effect.
58. Asbestos.
Tenant acknowledges that it has been expressly disclosed to Tenant by Landlords Managing Agent that the Building and the Premises contain asbestos-containing materials (ACM). The acknowledgment by Tenant of the ACM does not in any manner impose any liability or responsibility on Tenant for removal, treatment or abatement of such ACM or any responsibility whatsoever regarding such ACM provided, however, that Tenant shall comply with all applicable laws and regulations in connection with any work in the Premises including, but not limited to, work which requires entry into the ceiling and Exhibit F.
59. Accuracy of Tenant Information.
Tenant represents and warrants that all information which Tenant has provided to Landlord prior to execution of this Lease is true and complete in all material respects; tenant further represents and warrants that all information provided to Landlord by Tenant during the Term of the Lease shall be true and correct in all material respects.
60. Counterparts.
This Lease may be executed in counterparts.
61. Building Security.
Keycards are required to control after-hours access to the Building and the Building elevators. During the early occupancy of Premises, Landlord will provide to Tenant as many keycards for Tenants employees as Tenant requests, up to seventy (70). After Landlord has provided seventy (70) employee keycards to Tenant, any reissues, exchanges, or lost cards are subject to standard charges. Landlord will make additional keycards for employees available to Tenant for purchase should Tenant require them. All keycards are to be returned no later than Lease Termination or standard lost card charges apply.

FIRST AMENDMENT TO LEASE
I. | PARTIES AND DATE |
This First Amendment to Lease (Amendment) dated October 11, 2011, is by and between 100 Bush Corporation, a California corporation (Landlord), and Xoom Corporation, a California corporation (Tenant).
II. | RECITALS |
Landlord and Tenant are parties to a lease dated August 15, 2008 (Lease), for the premises (Premises) located at 100 Bush Street, Suite 300, California, in the property commonly known as The Shell Building, San Francisco, CA 94104.

The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (for its own account and/or the account of the Lenders) the fees in the amounts and on the dates as set forth in the Fee Letter and to perform any other obligations contained therein. All fees payable shall be fully earned on the date paid and nonrefundable.
2.10 Termination or Reduction of Revolving Commitments.
25
(a) Termination or Reduction. Subject to payment of the sums set forth in Section 2.10(b), the Borrower shall have the right, upon not less than three (3) Business Days notice to the Administrative Agent, to terminate the Revolving Commitments or, from time to time, to reduce the amount of the Revolving Commitments; provided that no such termination or reduction of the Revolving Commitments shall be permitted if, after giving effect thereto and to any prepayments of the Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans made on the effective date thereof, the Total Revolving Extensions of Credit would exceed the Available Revolving Commitments. Any such reduction shall be in an amount equal to $1,000,000 (or, if the then Total Revolving Commitments are less than such amount, such lesser amount), or a whole multiple thereof, and shall reduce permanently the Revolving Commitments then in effect. The Borrower shall have the right, upon not less than three (3) Business Days notice to the Administrative Agent, to terminate the L/C Commitments or, from time to time, to reduce the amount of the L/C Commitments; provided that no such termination or reduction of L/C Commitments shall be permitted if, after giving effect thereto, the Total L/C Commitments shall be reduced to an amount that would result in the aggregate L/C Exposure exceeding the Total L/C Commitments (as so reduced). Any such reduction shall be in an amount equal to $1,000,000 (or, if the then Total L/C Commitments are less than such amount, such lesser amount), or a whole multiple thereof, and shall reduce permanently the L/C Commitments then in effect.
(b) Revolving Commitment Reduction Fee. The Revolving Commitments may not be reduced or terminated pursuant to Section 2.10(a) unless the Borrower pays to the Administrative Agent (for the ratable benefit of the Revolving Lenders), contemporaneously with the reduction or termination of the Revolving Commitments, a fee equal to 1.25% of the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments so reduced or terminated. Any such fee described in this Section 2.10(b) shall be fully earned on the date paid and shall not be refundable for any reason.
2.11 Overadvances. If at any time or for any reason the aggregate amount of all Revolving Extensions of Credit of all of the Lenders exceeds the amount of the Total Revolving Commitments then in effect (any such excess, an Overadvance), the Borrower shall immediately pay the full amount of such Overadvance to the Administrative Agent, without notice or demand, for application against the Revolving Extensions of Credit in accordance with the terms hereof.
2.12 [Reserved]
2.13 [Reserved]
2.14 [Reserved]
2.15 Interest Rates and Payment Dates.
(a) Each Revolving Loan (including any Swingline Loan) shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to (i) the ABR plus (ii) the Applicable Margin.
(b) During the continuance of an Event of Default, all outstanding Loans shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section plus 5.00% (the Default Rate).
(c) Interest shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date; provided that interest accruing pursuant to Section 2.15(b) shall be payable from time to time on demand.
(d) In the event that the average outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Loans in any calendar month is less than Twenty Five Million Dollars ($25,000,000) (the Minimum Average Balance), Borrower shall pay the Lenders an amount, payable on the first (1st) calendar day of
26
the following month, equal to (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the Minimum Average Balance in such month minus (ii) the aggregate amount of all interest earned by the Lenders in such month.
2.16 Computation of Interest and Fees.
(a) Interest and fees payable pursuant hereto shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed, except that, with respect to ABR Loans the rate of interest on which is calculated on the basis of the Prime Rate, the interest thereon shall be calculated on the basis of a 365- (or 366-, as the case may be) day year for the actual days elapsed. Any change in the interest rate on a Loan resulting from a change in the ABR shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change becomes effective. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the relevant Lenders of the effective date and the amount of each such change in interest rate.
(b) Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and the Lenders in the absence of demonstrable error. The Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the Borrower, deliver to the Borrower a statement showing the quotations used by the Administrative Agent in determining any interest rate pursuant to Section 2.16(a).
2.17 [Reserved]
2.18 Pro Rata Treatment and Payments.
(a) Each borrowing by the Borrower from the Lenders hereunder, each payment by the Borrower on account of any commitment fee and any reduction of the Commitments shall be made pro rata according to the respective L/C Percentages or Revolving Percentages, as the case may be, of the relevant Lenders.
(b) [Reserved].
(c) Each payment (including each prepayment) by the Borrower on account of principal of and interest on the Revolving Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Revolving Loans then held by the Revolving Lenders.
(d) All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Borrower hereunder, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff and shall be made prior to 10:00 A.M., Pacific time, on the due date thereof to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, at the applicable Funding Office, in Dollars and in immediately available funds. The Administrative Agent shall distribute such payments to the Lenders promptly upon receipt in like funds as received. Any payment received by the Administrative Agent after 10:00 A.M. shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. If any payment hereunder becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day. In the case of any extension of any payment of principal pursuant to the preceding sentence, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension.
(e) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Lender prior to the date of any borrowing that such Lender will not make the amount that would constitute its share of such borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender is making such amount available to the Administrative Agent on such date
27
in accordance with Section 2, and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If such amount is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent by the required time on the Borrowing Date therefor, such Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent, on demand, such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date on which such amount is made available to the Borrower but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, a rate equal to the greater of (A) the Federal Funds Effective Rate and (B) a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, and (ii) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrower, the rate per annum applicable to ABR Loans under the relevant Facility. If the Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lenders Loan included in such borrowing. Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.
(f) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the Issuing Lender hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower is making such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or Issuing Lender, with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the rights of Administrative Agent or any Lender against the Borrower.
(g) If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Section 2, and such funds are not made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable extension of credit set forth in Section 5.1 or Section 5.2 are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest, within five (5) Business Days.
(h) The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to (i) make Revolving Loans, (ii) to fund its participations in L/C Disbursements in accordance with its respective L/C Percentage, (iii) to fund its respective Swingline Participation Amount of any Swingline Loan, and (iv) to make payments pursuant to Section 9.7, as applicable, are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any such Loan, to fund any such participation or to make any such payment under Section 9.7 on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan, to purchase its participation or to make its payment under Section 9.7.
(i) Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner.
(j) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, interest and fees then due hereunder, such
28
funds shall be applied (i) first, toward payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, toward payment of principal then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal then due to such parties.
(k) If any Lender shall obtain any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise) on account of the principal of or interest on any Loan made by it, its participation in the L/C Exposure or other obligations hereunder, as applicable (other than pursuant to a provision hereof providing for non-pro rata treatment), in excess of its Revolving Percentage or L/C Percentage, as applicable, of such payment on account of the Loans or participations obtained by all of the Lenders, such Lender shall forthwith advise the Administrative Agent of the receipt of such payment, and within five (5) Business Days of such receipt purchase (for cash at face value) from the other Revolving Lenders or L/C Lenders, as applicable (through the Administrative Agent), without recourse, such participations in the Revolving Loans made by them and/or participations in the L/C Exposure held by them, as applicable, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each of the other Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Percentages or L/C Percentages, as applicable; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered by or on behalf of the Borrower from such purchasing Lender, the purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section 2.18(k) may exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. No documentation other than notices and the like referred to in this Section 2.18(k) shall be required to implement the terms of this Section 2.18(k). The Administrative Agent shall keep records (which shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of demonstrable error) of participations purchased pursuant to this Section 2.18(k) and shall in each case notify the Revolving Lenders or the L/C Lenders, as applicable, following any such purchase. The provisions of this Section 2.18(k) shall not be construed to apply to (i) any payment made by or on behalf of the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender), (ii) the application of Cash Collateral provided for in Section 3.10, or (iii) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or sub-participations in any L/C Exposure to any assignee or participant, other than an assignment to the Borrower or any Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section shall apply).
(l) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion at any time or from time to time, without the Borrowers request and even if the conditions set forth in Section 5.2 would not be satisfied, make a Revolving Loan in an amount equal to the portion of the Obligations constituting overdue interest and fees and Swingline Loans from time to time due and payable to itself, any Revolving Lender, the Swingline Lender or the Issuing Lender, and apply the proceeds of any such Revolving Loan to those Obligations; provided that after giving effect to any such Revolving Loan, the aggregate outstanding Revolving Loans will not exceed the Total Revolving Commitments then in effect.
2.19 Requirements of Law.
(a) [Reserved]
(b) Requirements of Law. If the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof:
29
(i) shall subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its Loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto;
(ii) shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender; or
(iii) impose on any Lender any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;
and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender or such other Recipient, by an amount that such Lender or such other Recipient deems to be material, of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining Loans or of maintaining its obligation to make such Loans, or to increase the cost to such Lender or such other Recipient of issuing or participating in Letters of Credit, or to reduce any amount receivable or received by such Lender or other Recipient hereunder in respect thereof (whether in respect of principal, interest or any other amount), then, in any such case, upon the request of such Lender or other Recipient, the Borrower shall promptly pay such Lender or other Recipient, as the case may be, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or other Recipient, as the case may be, for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable. If any Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this paragraph, it shall promptly notify the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled.
(c) If any Lender determines that any change in any Requirement of Law affecting such Lender or any lending office of such Lender or such Lenders holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lenders capital or on the capital of such Lenders holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by the Issuing Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or such Lenders holding company could have achieved but for such change in such Requirement of Law (taking into consideration such Lenders policies and the policies of such Lenders holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing Lender or such Lenders or Issuing Lenders holding company for any such reduction suffered.
(d) For purposes of this Agreement, (i) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines, or directives in connection therewith are deemed to have gone into effect and been adopted after the date of this Agreement, and (ii) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall in each case be deemed to be a change in any Requirement of Law, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued.
(e) A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to paragraphs (b), (c), or (d) of this Section 2.19 submitted by any Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) shall be conclusive in the absence of demonstrable error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lenders right to demand such compensation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
30
Section 2.19, the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section 2.19 for any amounts incurred more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of such Lenders intention to claim compensation therefor; provided that if the circumstances giving rise to such claim have a retroactive effect, then such nine-month period shall be extended to include the period of such retroactive effect. The obligations of the Borrower arising pursuant to this Section 2.19 shall survive the termination of the Commitments, the termination of this Agreement, the repayment of all Obligations and the resignation of the Administrative Agent.
2.20 Taxes.
(a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law and the Borrower shall, and shall cause each other Loan Party, to comply with the requirements set forth in this Section 2.20. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.20) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.
(b) Payment of Other Taxes. The Loan Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.
(c) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.20, such Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
(d) Indemnification by Loan Parties. The Loan Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.20) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto (including any recording and filing fees with respect thereto or resulting therefrom and any liabilities with respect to, or resulting from, any delay in paying such Indemnified Taxes), whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. If any Loan Party fails to pay any Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to the Administrative Agent the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, such Loan Party shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by the Administrative Agent or any Lender as a result of any such failure.
(e) Indemnification by Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to
31
such Lender (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lenders failure to comply with the provisions of Section 10.6 relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (e).
(f) Status of Lenders.
(i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Sections 2.20(f)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if the Lender is not legally entitled to complete, execute or deliver such documentation or such completion, execution or submission would reasonably be expected to materially prejudice the legal position of such Lender.
(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower is a U.S. Person,
(A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;
(B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:
(1) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the interest article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the business profits or other income article of such tax treaty;
32
(2) executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI;
(3) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 871(h) or Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a bank within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a 10 percent shareholder of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a controlled foreign corporation described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate) and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN; or
(4) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H-2 or Exhibit H-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;
(C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and
(D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lenders obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), FATCA shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
(iii) Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so. Each Foreign Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered certificate to the Borrower (or any other form of certification adopted by the U.S. taxing authorities for such purpose). Notwithstanding any other provision of this paragraph, a Foreign Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this paragraph that such Foreign Lender is not legally able to deliver.
(iv) Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that certain payments made under this Agreement after December 31, 2013, as to extensions of credit made after December 31, 2012, to any Lender that does not comply with the information collection and reporting obligations imposed by the
33
United States with respect to foreign accounts, or that fails to provide adequate certification regarding such compliance, may become subject to withholding taxes imposed under FATCA. Each Lender agrees to undertake commercially reasonable actions to cooperate with the Administrative Agent and the Borrower in establishing that it is in compliance with such requirements and agrees to provide all certifications required by the IRS or determined by the Administrative Agent, in its reasonable discretion, to be necessary for the Administrative Agent to establish its compliance under such provisions on or before June 30, 2013. Nothing in this Agreement shall be interpreted to require any Lender to violate any law or regulation applicable to such Lender in any jurisdiction in which such Lender is formed, managed and controlled or doing business.
(g) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.20 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.20), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 2.20 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (g) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.
(h) Survival. Each partys obligations under this Section 2.20 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments, the termination of this Agreement and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.
2.21 [Reserved]
2.22 Change of Lending Office. Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.19(c), Section 2.19(d) or Section 2.20(a) with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the Borrower, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans affected by such event or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, in each case, with the object of avoiding the consequences of such event; provided that such designation is made on terms that, in the sole judgment of such Lender, cause such Lender and its lending office(s) to suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage; provided, further that nothing in this Section 2.22 shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Borrower or the rights of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.19(c), Section 2.19(d) or Section 2.20(a).
2.23 Substitution of Lenders. Upon the receipt by the Borrower of any of the following (or in the case of clause (a) below, if the Borrower is required to pay any such amount), with respect to any Lender (any such Lender described in clauses (a) through (c) below being referred to as an Affected Lender hereunder):
34
(a) a request from a Lender for payment of Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts under Section 2.20 or of increased costs pursuant to Section 2.19(c) or Section 2.19(d) (and, in any such case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office in accordance with Section 2.22 or is a Non-Consenting Lender);
(b) a notice from the Administrative Agent under Section 10.1(b) that one or more Minority Lenders are unwilling to agree to an amendment or other modification approved by the Required Lenders and the Administrative Agent; or
(c) notice from the Administrative Agent that a Lender is a Defaulting Lender;
then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, within thirty (30) days after the occurrence of such event or receipt by the Borrower of such notice and demand, upon notice to the Administrative Agent and such Affected Lender: (i) request that one or more of the other Lenders acquire and assume all or part of such Affected Lenders Loans and Commitment; or (ii) designate a replacement lending institution (which shall be an Eligible Assignee) to acquire and assume all or a ratable part of such Affected Lenders Loans and Commitment (the replacing Lender or lender in (i) or (ii) being a Replacement Lender); provided, however, that if the Borrower elects to exercise such right with respect to any Affected Lender under clause (a) or (b) of this Section 2.23, then the Borrower shall be obligated to replace all Affected Lenders under such clauses. The Affected Lender replaced pursuant to this Section 2.23 shall be required to assign and delegate, without recourse, all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to one or more Replacement Lenders that so agree to acquire and assume all or a ratable part of such Affected Lenders Loans and Commitment upon payment to such Affected Lender of an amount (in the aggregate for all Replacement Lenders) equal to 100% of the outstanding principal of the Affected Lenders Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents from such Replacement Lenders (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts). Any such designation of a Replacement Lender shall be effected in accordance with, and subject to the terms and conditions of, the assignment provisions contained in Section 10.6 (with the assignment fee to be paid by the Borrower in such instance), and, if such Replacement Lender is not already a Lender hereunder or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, shall be subject to the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any assignment pursuant to this Section 2.23, (a) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.19 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.20, such assignment shall result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; (b) such assignment shall not conflict with applicable law and (c) in the case of any assignment resulting from a Lender being a Minority Lender referred to in clause (b) of this Section 2.23, the applicable assignee shall have consented to the applicable amendment, waiver or consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Affected Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Affected Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.
2.24 Defaulting Lenders.
(a) Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law:
(i) Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lenders right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in Section 10.1 and in the definition of Required Lenders.
35
(ii) Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Section 8 or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 10.7), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Issuing Lender or to the Swingline Lender hereunder; third, to be held as Cash Collateral for the funding obligations of such Defaulting Lender of any participation in any Letter of Credit; fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lenders potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement, and (y) be held as Cash Collateral for the future funding obligations of such Defaulting Lender of any participation in any future Letter of Credit; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to any L/C Lender, Issuing Lender or Swingline Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any L/C Lender, Issuing Lender or Swingline Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lenders breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lenders breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (A) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or L/C Advances in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (B) such Loans or L/C Advances were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 5.2 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and L/C Advances owed to, all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or L/C Advances owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in L/C Advances and Swingline Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Commitments under the applicable Facility without giving effect to Section 2.24(a)(iv). Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.24(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.
(iii) Certain Fees.
(A) No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any fee pursuant to Section 2.9 for any period during which such Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to such Defaulting Lender).
(B) Each Defaulting Lender shall be limited in its right to receive letter of credit fees as provided in Section 3.3(d).
(C) With respect to any letter of credit fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (A) or (B) above, the Borrower shall (x) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lenders participation in Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (iv) below, (y) pay to the Issuing Lender and the Swingline Lender, as applicable, the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting
36
Lender to the extent allocable to the Issuing Lenders or the Swingline Lenders Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender, and (z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee.
(iv) Reallocation of Pro Rata Share to Reduce Fronting Exposure. During any period in which there is a Defaulting Lender, for purposes of computing the amount of the obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit pursuant to Section 3.4 or in Swingline Loans pursuant to Section 2.7(c), the L/C Percentage of each non-Defaulting Lender of any such Letter of Credit and the Revolving Percentage of each non-Defaulting Lender of any such Swingline Loan, as the case may be, shall be computed without giving effect to the Revolving Commitment of such Defaulting Lender; provided that, (A) each such reallocation shall be given effect only if, at the date the applicable Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; (B) the aggregate obligations of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans shall not exceed the positive difference, if any, of (1) the Revolving Commitment of that non-Defaulting Lender minus (2) the aggregate outstanding amount of the Revolving Loans of that Lender plus the aggregate amount of that Lenders L/C Percentage of then outstanding Letters of Credit and (C) the conditions set forth in Section 5.2 are satisfied at the time of such reallocation (and, unless the Borrower shall have otherwise notified the Administrative Agent at such time, the Borrower shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such conditions are satisfied at such time).No reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such non-Defaulting Lenders increased exposure following such reallocation.
(v) Cash Collateral, Repayment of Swingline Loans. If the reallocation described in clause (iv) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under law, (x) first, prepay Swingline Loans in an amount equal to the Swingline Lenders Fronting Exposure and (y) second, Cash Collateralize the Issuing Lenders Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 3.10.
(b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Lender agree in writing in their sole discretion that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), such Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Percentages and L/C Percentages, as applicable (without giving effect to Section 2.24(a)(iv)), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while such Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender having been a Defaulting Lender.
(c) New Swingline Loans/Letters of Credit. So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, (i) the Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loans unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect to such Swingline Loan and (ii) no Issuing Lender shall be required to issue, extend, renew or increase any Letter of Credit unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect thereto.
37
(d) Termination of Defaulting Lender. The Borrower may terminate the unused amount of the Commitment of any Revolving Lender that is a Defaulting Lender upon not less than ten (10) Business Days prior notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders thereof), and in such event the provisions of Section 2.24(a)(ii) will apply to all amounts thereafter paid by the Borrower for the account of such Defaulting Lender under this Agreement (whether on account of principal, interest, fees, indemnity or other amounts); provided that (i) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and (ii) such termination shall not be deemed to be a waiver or release of any claim the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender, the Swingline Bank or any other Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.10(b), the Borrower shall not have to pay any revolving commitment reduction fee in connection with any reductions or terminations of Revolving Commitments made pursuant to this Section 2.24(d).
2.25 Notes. If so requested by any Lender by written notice to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (and/or, if applicable and if so specified in such notice, to any Person who is an assignee of such Lender pursuant to Section 10.6) (promptly after the Borrowers receipt of such notice) a Note or Notes to evidence such Lenders Loans.

(ii) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain the Issuing Lender from issuing, amending or reinstating such Letter of Credit, or any law, rule or regulation applicable to the Issuing Lender or any request, guideline or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the Issuing Lender shall prohibit, or request that the Issuing Lender refrain from, the issuance, amendment, renewal or reinstatement of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon the Issuing Lender with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which the Issuing Lender is not otherwise compensated) not in effect on the Closing Date, or shall impose upon the Issuing Lender any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Closing Date and which the Issuing Lender in good faith deems material to it;
38
(iii) the Issuing Lender has received written notice from any Lender, the Administrative Agent or the Borrower, at least one (1) Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or reinstatement of such Letter of Credit, that one or more of the applicable conditions contained in Section 5.2 shall not then be satisfied;

3.2 Procedure for Issuance of Letters of Credit. The Borrower may from time to time request that the Issuing Lender issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the Borrower by delivering to the Issuing Lender at its address for notices specified herein an Application therefor, completed to the satisfaction of the Issuing Lender, and such other certificates, documents and other papers and information as the Issuing Lender may request. Upon receipt of any Application, the Issuing Lender will process such Application and the certificates, documents and other papers and information delivered to it in connection therewith in accordance with its customary procedures and shall promptly issue the Letter of Credit requested thereby (but in no event shall the Issuing Lender be required to issue any Letter of Credit earlier than three (3) Business Days after its receipt of the Application therefor and all such other certificates, documents and other papers and information relating thereto) by issuing the original of such Letter of Credit to the beneficiary thereof or as otherwise may be agreed to by the Issuing Lender and the Borrower. The Issuing Lender shall furnish a copy of such Letter of Credit to the Borrower promptly following the issuance thereof. The Issuing Lender shall promptly furnish to the Administrative Agent, which shall in turn promptly furnish to the Lenders, notice of the issuance of each Letter of Credit (including the amount thereof).
3.3 Fees and Other Charges.
(a) The Borrower agrees to pay, with respect to each Existing Letter of Credit and each outstanding Letter of Credit issued for the account of (or at the request of) the Borrower, (i) an issuance fee of Two Hundred Fifty Dollars ($250), (ii) a SWIFT fee of Seventy Five Dollars ($75), and (iii) a letter of credit fee equal to one and one half percent (1.50%) multiplied by the daily amount available to be drawn under each such Letter of Credit on the drawable amount of such Letter of Credit to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the L/C Lenders (determined in accordance with their respective L/C Percentages), in each case payable upon the issuance of such Letter of Credit, each anniversary of the issuance during the term of such Letter of Credit, and upon the renewal of such Letter of Credit (each, an L/C Fee Payment Date) after the issuance date of such Letter of Credit, as well as the Issuing Lenders standard and reasonable fees with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or
39
extension of any Letter of Credit issued for the account of (or at the request of) the Borrower or processing of drawings thereunder (the fees in this clause (iii), collectively, the Issuing Lender Fees). All Issuing Lender Fees shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days.
(b) In addition to the foregoing fees, the Borrower shall pay or reimburse the Issuing Lender for such normal and customary costs and expenses as are incurred or charged by the Issuing Lender in issuing, negotiating, effecting payment under, amending or otherwise administering any Letter of Credit.
(c) The Borrower shall furnish to the Issuing Lender and the Administrative Agent such other documents and information pertaining to any requested Letter of Credit issuance, amendment or renewal, including any L/C-Related Documents, as the Issuing Lender or the Administrative Agent may require. This Agreement shall control in the event of any conflict with any L/C-Related Document (other than any Letter of Credit).
(d) Any letter of credit fees otherwise payable for the account of a Defaulting Lender with respect to any Letter of Credit as to which such Defaulting Lender has not provided Cash Collateral satisfactory to the Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 3.10 shall be payable, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, to the other L/C Lenders in accordance with the upward adjustments in their respective L/C Percentages allocable to such Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 2.24(a)(iv), with the balance of such fee, if any, payable to the Issuing Lender for its own account.
3.4 L/C Participations; Existing Letters of Credit.
(a) L/C Participations. The Issuing Lender irrevocably agrees to grant and hereby grants to each L/C Lender, and, to induce the Issuing Lender to issue Letters of Credit, each L/C Lender irrevocably agrees to accept and purchase and hereby accepts and purchases from the Issuing Lender, on the terms and conditions set forth below, for such L/C Lenders own account and risk an undivided interest equal to such L/C Lenders L/C Percentage in the Issuing Lenders obligations and rights under and in respect of each Letter of Credit and the amount of each draft paid by the Issuing Lender thereunder. Each L/C Lender agrees with the Issuing Lender that, if a draft is paid under any Letter of Credit for which the Issuing Lender is not reimbursed in full by the Borrower pursuant to Section 3.5(a), such L/C Lender shall pay to the Issuing Lender upon demand at the Issuing Lenders address for notices specified herein an amount equal to such L/C Lenders L/C Percentage of the amount of such draft, or any part thereof, that is not so reimbursed. Each L/C Lenders obligation to pay such amount shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such L/C Lender may have against the Issuing Lender, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (ii) the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default or the failure to satisfy any of the other conditions specified in Section 5.2, (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrower, (iv) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other L/C Lender, or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.
(b) Existing Letters of Credit. On and after the Closing Date, the Existing Letters of Credit shall be deemed for all purposes, including for purposes of the fees to be collected pursuant to Sections 3.3(a) and (b), reimbursement of costs and expenses to the extent provided herein and for purposes of being secured by the Collateral, a Letter of Credit outstanding under this Agreement and entitled to the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and shall be governed by the applications and agreements pertaining thereto and by this Agreement (which shall control in the event of a conflict).
40
3.5 Reimbursement.
(a) If the Issuing Lender shall make any L/C Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender shall notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent thereof and the Borrower shall pay or cause to be paid to the Issuing Lender an amount equal to the entire amount of such L/C Disbursement not later than the immediately following Business Day. Each such payment shall be made to the Issuing Lender at its address for notices referred to herein in Dollars and in immediately available funds.
(b) If the Issuing Lender shall not have received from the Borrower the payment that it is required to make pursuant to Section 3.5(a) with respect to a Letter of Credit within the time specified in such Section, the Issuing Lender will promptly notify the Administrative Agent of the L/C Disbursement and the Administrative Agent will promptly notify each L/C Lender of such L/C Disbursement and its L/C Percentage thereof, and each L/C Lender shall pay to the Issuing Lender upon demand at the Issuing Lenders address for notices specified herein an amount equal to such L/C Lenders L/C Percentage of such L/C Disbursement (and the Administrative Agent may apply Cash Collateral provided for this purpose); upon such payment pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the Issuing Lender for any L/C Disbursement, the Borrower shall be required to reimburse the L/C Lenders for such payments (including interest accrued thereon from the date of such payment until the date of such reimbursement at the rate applicable to Revolving Loans that are ABR Loans plus 2% per annum) on demand; provided that if at the time of and after giving effect to such payment by the L/C Lenders, the conditions to borrowings and Revolving Loan Conversions set forth in Section 5.2 are satisfied, the Borrower may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent certifying that such conditions are satisfied and that all interest owing under this paragraph has been paid, request that such payments by the L/C Lenders be converted into Revolving Loans (a Revolving Loan Conversion), in which case, if such conditions are in fact satisfied, the L/C Lenders shall be deemed to have extended, and the Borrower shall be deemed to have accepted, a Revolving Loan in the aggregate principal amount of such payment without further action on the part of any party, and the Total L/C Commitments shall be permanently reduced by such amount; any amount so paid pursuant to this paragraph shall, on and after the payment date thereof, be deemed to be Revolving Loans for all purposes hereunder; provided that the Issuing Lender, at its option, may effectuate a Revolving Loan Conversion regardless of whether the conditions to borrowings and Revolving Loan Conversions set forth in Section 5.2 are satisfied.
3.6 Obligations Absolute. The Borrowers obligations under this Section 3 shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment that the Borrower may have or have had against the Issuing Lender, any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit or any other Person. The Borrower also agrees with the Issuing Lender that the Issuing Lender shall not be responsible for, and the Borrowers obligations hereunder shall not be affected by, among other things, the validity or genuineness of documents or of any endorsements thereon, even though such documents shall in fact prove to be invalid, fraudulent or forged, or any dispute between or among the Borrower and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred or any claims whatsoever of the Borrower against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit or any such transferee. The Issuing Lender shall not be liable for any error, omission, interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with any Letter of Credit, except for errors or omissions found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Lender or breach in bad faith of the obligations of the Issuing Lender hereunder. The Borrower agrees that any action taken or omitted by the Issuing Lender under or in connection with any Letter of Credit or the related drafts or documents, if done in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct or breach in bad faith of its obligations hereunder, shall be binding on the Borrower and shall not result in any liability of the Issuing Lender to the Borrower.
41
In addition to amounts payable as elsewhere provided in the Agreement, the Borrower hereby agrees to pay and to protect, indemnify, and save Issuing Lender harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, charges and expenses (including reasonable attorneys fees and allocated costs of internal counsel) that the Issuing Lender may incur or be subject to as a consequence, direct or indirect, of (A) the issuance of any Letter of Credit, or (B) the failure of Issuing Lender or of any L/C Lender to honor a demand for payment under any Letter of Credit thereof as a result of any act or omission, whether rightful or wrongful, of any present or future de jure or de facto government or Governmental Authority, in each case other than to the extent solely as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Issuing Lender or such L/C Lender or the breach in bad faith of the obligations of the Issuing Lender or such L/C Lender hereunder (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction).
3.7 Letter of Credit Payments. If any draft shall be presented for payment under any Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of the date and amount thereof. The responsibility of the Issuing Lender to the Borrower in connection with any draft presented for payment under any Letter of Credit shall, in addition to any payment obligation expressly provided for in such Letter of Credit, be limited to determining that the documents (including each draft) delivered under such Letter of Credit in connection with such presentment are substantially in conformity with such Letter of Credit.
3.8 Applications. To the extent that any provision of any Application related to any Letter of Credit is inconsistent with the provisions of this Section 3, the provisions of this Section 3 shall apply.
3.9 Interim Interest. If the Issuing Lender shall make any L/C Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, then, unless either the Borrower shall have reimbursed such L/C Disbursement in full within the time period specified in Section 3.5(a) or the L/C Lenders shall have reimbursed such L/C Disbursement in full on such date as provided in Section 3.5(b), in each case the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest for the account of the Issuing Lender, for each day from and including the date of such L/C Disbursement to but excluding the date of payment by the Borrower, at the rate per annum that would apply to such amount if such amount were a Revolving Loan that is an ABR Loan; provided that the provisions of Section 2.15(b) shall be applicable to any such amounts not paid when due.
3.10 Cash Collateral.
(a) Certain Credit Support Events. Upon the request of the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Lender (i) if the Issuing Lender has honored any full or partial drawing request under any Letter of Credit and such drawing has resulted in an L/C Advance by all the L/C Lenders that is not reimbursed by the Borrower or converted into a Revolving Loan pursuant to Section 3.5(b), or (ii) if, as of the Letter of Credit Maturity Date, any L/C Exposure for any reason remains outstanding, the Borrower shall, in each case, immediately Cash Collateralize the then effective L/C Exposure in an amount equal to 105% of such L/C Exposure.
At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, within three (3) Business Days following the request of the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to cover 105% of the Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.24(a)(iv) and any Cash Collateral provided by such Defaulting Lender).
(b) Grant of Security Interest. All Cash Collateral (other than credit support not constituting funds subject to deposit) shall be maintained in blocked, non-interest bearing deposit accounts with the Administrative Agent. The Borrower, and to the extent provided by any Lender or Defaulting Lender, such Lender or Defaulting Lender, hereby grants to (and subjects to the control of) the
42
Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender and the L/C Lenders, and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such Cash Collateral and in all proceeds thereof, as security for the obligations to which such Cash Collateral may be applied pursuant to Section 3.10(c). If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Lender as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than 105% of the applicable L/C Exposure, Fronting Exposure and other obligations secured thereby, the Borrower or the relevant Defaulting Lender will, promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency (after giving effect to any Cash Collateral provided by such Defaulting Lender).
(c) Application. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under any of this Section 3.10, Section 2.24 or otherwise in respect of Letters of Credit shall be held and applied to the satisfaction of the specific L/C Exposure, obligations to fund participations therein (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) and other obligations for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may otherwise be provided for herein.
(d) Termination of Requirement. Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce Fronting Exposure or other obligations shall no longer be required to be held as Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 3.10 following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure and other obligations giving rise thereto (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender), or (ii) a good faith determination by the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lender that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided, however, (A) that Cash Collateral furnished by or on behalf of a Loan Party shall not be released during the continuance of an Event of Default, and (B) that, subject to Section 2.24, the Person providing Cash Collateral and the Issuing Lender may agree that Cash Collateral shall not be released but instead held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations, and provided further, that to the extent that such Cash Collateral was provided by the Borrower or any other Loan Party, such Cash Collateral shall remain subject to any security interest granted pursuant to the Loan Documents.
3.11 [Reserved].
3.12 Resignation of the Issuing Lender. The Issuing Lender may resign at any time by giving at least 30 days prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower.

To induce the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to make the Loans and issue the Letters of Credit, the Borrower hereby represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and each Lender, as to itself and each of its Subsidiaries, that:
4.1 Financial Condition.
(a) The audited consolidated balance sheets of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2011, and the related consolidated statements of income and of cash flows for the fiscal years ended on such dates, reported on by and accompanied by an unqualified report from KPMG LLP, present fairly in all material respects the consolidated financial condition of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as at such date, and the consolidated results of its operations and its consolidated cash flows for the respective fiscal years then ended. The unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as at June 30, 2012, and the related unaudited consolidated statements of income and cash flows for the three-month period ended on such date, present fairly in all material respects the consolidated financial condition of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as at such date, and the consolidated results of its operations and its consolidated cash flows for the three-month period then ended (subject to normal year-end audit adjustments). All such financial statements, including the related schedules and notes thereto, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applied consistently throughout the periods involved (except as approved by the aforementioned firm of accountants and disclosed therein). No Group Member has, as of the Closing Date, any material Guarantee Obligations, contingent liabilities and liabilities for taxes, or any long-term leases or unusual forward or long-term commitments, including any interest rate or foreign currency swap or exchange transaction or other obligation in respect of derivatives, that are not reflected in the most recent financial statements referred to in this paragraph.
4.2 No Change. Since December 31, 2011, there has been no development or event that has had or would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
4.3 Existence; Compliance with Law. Each Group Member (a) is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, (b) has the power and authority, and the legal right, to own and operate its property, to lease the property it operates as lessee and to conduct the business in which it is currently engaged, (c) is duly qualified as a foreign corporation or other organization and in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction where the failure to be so qualified could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and (d) is in material compliance with all Requirements of Law except in such instances in which (i) such Requirement of Law is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted and the prosecution of such contest would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, or (ii) the failure to comply therewith, either individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
4.4 Power, Authorization; Enforceable Obligations. Each Loan Party has the power and authority, and the legal right, to make, deliver and perform the Loan Documents to which it is a party and, in the case of the Borrower, to obtain extensions of credit hereunder. Each Loan Party has taken all
44
necessary organizational action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents to which it is a party and, in the case of the Borrower, to authorize the extensions of credit on the terms and conditions of this Agreement. No Governmental Approval or consent or authorization of, filing with, notice to or other act by or in respect of, any other Person is required in connection with the extensions of credit hereunder or with the execution, delivery, performance, validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, except (i) Governmental Approvals, consents, authorizations, filings and notices described in Schedule 4.4, which Governmental Approvals, consents, authorizations, filings and notices have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect, (ii) the filings referred to in Section 4.19 and (iii) Governmental Approvals described in Schedule 4.4. Each Loan Document has been duly executed and delivered on behalf of each Loan Party that is a party thereto. This Agreement constitutes, and each other Loan Document upon execution will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of each Loan Party that is a party thereto, enforceable against each such Loan Party in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors rights generally and by general equitable principles (whether enforcement is sought by proceedings in equity or at law).
4.5 No Legal Bar. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the issuance of Letters of Credit, the borrowings hereunder and the use of the proceeds thereof will not violate any Requirement of Law (except as set forth in Schedule 4.5) or any material Contractual Obligation of any Group Member and will not result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any Lien on any of their respective properties or revenues pursuant to any Requirement of Law or any such Contractual Obligation (other than the Liens created by the Security Documents). No Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation applicable to the Borrower, or any of its Subsidiaries could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The absence of obtaining the Governmental Approvals described in Schedule 4.5 and the violations of Requirements of Law referenced in Schedule 4.5 shall not have a Material Adverse Effect on any rights of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent pursuant to the Loan Documents or a Material Adverse Effect on the Group Members with regard to their continuing operations.
4.6 Litigation. No litigation, arbitration or similar proceeding or, to the knowledge of Borrower, investigation, of or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority is pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened in writing by or against any Group Member or against any of their respective properties or revenues (a) with respect to any of the Loan Documents or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or (b) that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
4.7 No Default. No Group Member is in default under or with respect to any of its Contractual Obligations in any respect that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 11 of the Perfection Certificate sets forth a complete and accurate list of all leases of real property under which any Loan Party is the lessee as of the Closing Date.

No claim has been asserted and is pending by any Person challenging or questioning any Group Members use of any Intellectual Property or the validity or effectiveness of any Group Members Intellectual Property, nor does the Borrower know of any valid basis for any such claim, unless such claim could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The use of Intellectual Property by each Group Member, and the conduct of such Group Members business, as currently conducted, does not infringe on or otherwise violate the rights of any Person, unless such infringement could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and there are no claims pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened to such effect.
4.10 Taxes.

The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Section shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the Facilities provided for herein as well as
73
activities as the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub agents.
9.3 Exculpatory Provisions. The Administrative Agent shall have no duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, and its duties hereunder and thereunder shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall not:
(a) be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether any Default or any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;
(b) have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), as applicable; provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law; and
(c) except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and the Administrative Agent shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by any Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.
The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 8.2 and 10.1), or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment.
The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Section 5.1, Section 5.2 or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.
9.4 Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur
74
any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance, extension, renewal or increase of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for any of the Loan Parties), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. Subject to Section 10.6(c), the Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of Lenders as shall be provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents) as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of Lenders as shall be provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon the Lenders and all future holders of the Loans.
9.5 Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default unless the Administrative Agent has received notice in writing from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a notice of default. In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders); provided that unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action or refrain from taking such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders.
9.6 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys in fact or affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of a Group Member or any affiliate of a Group Member, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents to the Administrative Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Group Members and their affiliates and made its own credit analysis and decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also agrees that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Group Members and their affiliates. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be
75
furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall have no duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of any Group Member or any affiliate of a Group Member that may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys in fact or affiliates.
9.7 Indemnification. Each of the Lenders agrees to indemnify each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender and the Swingline Lender and each of its Related Parties in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower or any other Loan Party and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower or any other Loan Party to do so) according to its Aggregate Exposure Percentage in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Section 9.7 (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Commitments shall have terminated and the Loans shall have been paid in full, in accordance with its Aggregate Exposure Percentage immediately prior to such date), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (whether before or after the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent or such other Person in any way relating to or arising out of, the Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent or such other Person under or in connection with any of the foregoing and any other amounts not reimbursed by the Borrower or such other Loan Party; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements that are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted primarily from the Administrative Agents or such other Persons gross negligence or willful misconduct. The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.
9.8 Agent in Its Individual Capacity. The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent and the term Lender or Lenders shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.
9.9 Successor Administrative Agent.
(a) The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the State of California, and which shall be a U.S. Person (as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) and which shall be a commercial banking institution that is a member of the Federal Reserve System and has net assets of not less than $500,000,000, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the State of California. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the Resignation Effective Date), then the retiring Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above. Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date.
76
(b) With effect from the Resignation Effective Date (i) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed and such collateral security is assigned to such successor Administrative Agent) and (ii) except for any indemnity payments owed to the retiring Administrative Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this Section. Upon the acceptance of a successors appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent (other than any rights to indemnity payments owed to the retiring Administrative Agent), and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Administrative Agents resignation or removal hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of Section 9 and Section 10.5 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as the Administrative Agent.
9.10 Collateral and Guaranty Matters. The Lenders irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion,
(a) to release any Lien on any Collateral or other property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document (i) upon termination of the Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations) and the expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit (other than Letters of Credit as to which other arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Lender shall have been made), (ii) that is sold or otherwise disposed of or to be sold or otherwise disposed of as part of or in connection with any sale or other disposition permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or (iii) subject to Section 10.1, if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders;
(b) to subordinate any Lien on any Collateral or other property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by Sections 7.3(g) and (i); and
(c) to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted under the Loan Documents.
(d) Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agents authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty pursuant to this Section 9.10.
(e) The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have a duty to ascertain or inquire into any representation or warranty regarding the existence, value or collectability of the Collateral, the existence, priority or perfection of the Administrative Agents Lien thereon, or any certificate prepared by any Loan Party in connection therewith, nor shall the Administrative Agent be responsible or liable to the Lenders for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral.
77
9.11 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or Obligation in respect of any Letter of Credit shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated), by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:
(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, Obligations in respect of any Letter of Credit and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable to have the claims of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.9 and 10.5) allowed in such judicial proceeding (any Lender may file a proof of claim in respect of the claims of such Lender if the Administrative Agent fails to do so on a timely basis); and
(b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;
and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.9 and 10.5.
Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.
9.12 No Other Duties, Etc.
Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Bookrunners or Arrangers listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent, a Lender, the Issuing Lender or the Swingline Lender hereunder.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or Letter of Credit, or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee referred to in paragraph (b) above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

10.6 Successors and Assigns; Participations and Assignments.
(a) Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender, and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an assignee in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (b) of this Section, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (d) of this Section, or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of paragraph (f) of this Section (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in paragraph (d) of this Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a reincorporation of the Borrower from a
83
California corporation to a Delaware corporation through a merger shall not be deemed an assignment under this Agreement.
(b) Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided that (in each case with respect to any Facility) any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:
(i) Minimum Amounts.
(A) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lenders Commitment and/or the Loans at the time owing to it (in each case with respect to any Facility) or contemporaneous assignments to related Approved Funds that equal at least the amount specified in paragraph (b)(i)(B) of this Section in the aggregate or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and
(B) in any case not described in paragraph (b)(i)(A) of this Section, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if Trade Date is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date) shall not be less than $1,000,000, in the case of any assignment in respect of the Revolving Facility, unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
(ii) Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lenders rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loan or the Commitment assigned, except that this clause (ii) shall not prohibit any Lender from assigning all or a portion of its rights and obligations among separate Facilities on a non-pro rata basis.
(iii) Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by paragraph (b)(i)(B) of this Section and, in addition:
(A) the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (x) a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment, or (y) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days after having received notice thereof and provided, further, that the Borrowers consent shall not be required during the primary syndication of the Facilities;
(B) the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments in respect of the Revolving Facility if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender with a Commitment in respect of such Facility, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender; and
(C) the consent of the Issuing Lender and the Swingline Lender shall be required for any assignment in respect of the Revolving Facility.
84
(iv) Assignment and Assumption. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; provided that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment. The assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent any such administrative questionnaire as the Administrative Agent may request.
(v) No Assignment to Certain Persons. No such assignment shall be made to (A) the Borrower or any of the Borrowers Affiliates or Subsidiaries or (B) to any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (B).
(vi) No Assignment to Natural Persons. No such assignment shall be made to a natural Person.
(vii) Certain Additional Payments. In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender, the Swingline Lender and each other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans in accordance with its Revolving Percentage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.
Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lenders rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of and subject to the provisions of Sections 2.19, 2.20, and 10.5 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment; provided, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lenders having been a Defaulting Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (d) of this Section.
(c) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms
85
hereof from time to time (the Register). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural Person or the Borrower or any of the Borrowers Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a Participant) in all or a portion of such Lenders rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lenders obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lenders rights and obligations under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the indemnities under Sections 2.20(e) and 9.7 with respect to any payments made by such Lender to its Participant(s).
Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver which affects such Participant and for which the consent of such Lender is required (as described in Section 10.1). The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.19, and 2.20 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 2.20(f) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.20(f) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 2.23 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.19 or 2.20, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrowers request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 2.23 with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.7 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.18(k) as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participants interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the Participant Register); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participants interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.
86
(e) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.
(f) The Borrower, upon receipt by the Borrower of written notice from the relevant Lender, agrees to issue Notes to any Lender requiring Notes to facilitate transactions of the type described in Section 10.6.
(g) Each Lender, upon execution and delivery hereof or upon succeeding to an interest in the Commitments or Loans, as the case may be, represents and warrants as of the Closing Date or as of the effective date of the applicable Assignment and Assumption that (i) it is an Eligible Assignee; (ii) it has experience and expertise in the making of or investing in commitments, loans or investments such as the Commitments and Loans; and (iii) it will make or invest in its Commitments and Loans for its own account in the ordinary course of its business and without a view to distribution of such Commitments and Loans within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, or other federal securities laws (it being understood that, subject to the provisions of this Section 10.6, the disposition of such Commitments and Loans or any interests therein shall at all times remain within its exclusive control).
10.7 Adjustments; Set-off.
(a) Except to the extent that this Agreement expressly provides for payments to be allocated to a particular Lender or to the Lenders under a particular Facility, if any Lender (a Benefitted Lender) shall, at any time after the Loans and other amounts payable hereunder shall immediately become due and payable pursuant to Section 8.2, receive any payment of all or part of the Obligations owing to it, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 8.1(f), or otherwise), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of the Obligations owing to such other Lender, such Benefitted Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participating interest in such portion of the Obligations owing to each such other Lender, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefitted Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral ratably with each of the Lenders; provided that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefitted Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.
(b) Upon (i) the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default and (ii) obtaining the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, without prior notice to the Borrower or any other Loan Party, any such notice being expressly waived by the Borrower and each Loan Party, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, at any time held or owing, and any other credits, indebtedness, claims or obligations, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender, its Affiliates or any branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower or any other Loan Party, as the case may be, against any and all of the obligations of the Borrower or such other Loan Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender or its Affiliates, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or Affiliate shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of the Borrower or such other Loan Party may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch, office or Affiliate of such Lender different from the
87
branch, office or Affiliate holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness; provided, that in the event that any Defaulting Lender or any of its Affiliates shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.23 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender or Affiliate thereof from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender or Affiliate thereof as to which it exercised such right of setoff. Each Lender agrees to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application made by such Lender or any of its Affiliates; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The rights of each Lender and its Affiliates under this Section 10.7 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off) which such Lender or its Affiliates may have.
10.8 Payments Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower is made to the Administrative Agent or any Lender, or the Administrative Agent or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b) each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share (without duplication) of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Lenders under clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.
10.9 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable law (the Maximum Rate). If the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.
10.10 Counterparts; Electronic Execution of Assignments.
(a) This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts, and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or electronic mail transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof. A set of the copies of this Agreement signed by all the parties shall be lodged with the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.
(b) The words execution, signed, signature, and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in
88
electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.
10.11 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.11, if and to the extent that the enforceability of any provisions in this Agreement relating to Defaulting Lenders shall be limited under or in connection with any Insolvency Proceeding, as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Lender, as applicable, then such provisions shall be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited.
10.12 Integration. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents represent the entire agreement of the Borrower, the other Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by the Administrative Agent or any Lender relative to the subject matter hereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Loan Documents.

(a) submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the State and Federal courts in the Northern District of the State of California; provided that nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to operate to preclude the Administrative Agent or any Lender from bringing suit or taking other legal action in any other jurisdiction to realize on the Collateral or any other security for the Obligations, or to enforce a judgment or other court order in favor of Administrative Agent or such Lender. The Borrower expressly submits and consents in advance to such jurisdiction in any action or suit commenced in any such court, and the Borrower hereby waives any objection that it may have based upon lack of personal jurisdiction, improper venue, or forum non conveniens and hereby consents to the granting of such legal or equitable relief as is deemed appropriate by such court. The Borrower hereby waives personal service of the summons, complaints, and other process issued in such action or suit and agrees that service of such summons, complaints, and other process may be made by registered or certified mail addressed to the Borrower at the addresses set forth in Section 10.2 of this Agreement and that service so made shall be deemed completed upon the earlier to occur of the Borrowers actual receipt thereof or three (3) days after deposit in the U.S. mails, proper postage prepaid;

The proceeding before the private judge shall be conducted in the same manner as it would be before a court under the rules of evidence applicable to judicial proceedings. The Borrower shall be entitled to discovery which shall be conducted in the same manner as it would be before a court under the rules of discovery applicable to judicial proceedings. The private judge shall oversee discovery and may enforce all discovery rules and orders applicable to judicial proceedings in the same manner as a trial court judge. The Borrower agrees that the selected or appointed private judge shall have the power to decide all issues in the action or proceeding, whether of fact of law, and shall report a statement of decision thereon pursuant to the California Code of Civil Procedure § 644(a).

1.2 Other Definitional Provisions. The rules of interpretation set forth in Section 1.2 of the Credit Agreement are by this reference incorporated herein, mutatis mutandis, as if set forth herein in full.
SECTION 2. Guarantee.
2.1 Guarantee.
(a) Each Grantor, other than the Borrower, who has executed this Agreement as of the date hereof, together with each Domestic Subsidiary of any Grantor who accedes to this Agreement as a Grantor after the date hereof pursuant to Section 6.12 of the Credit Agreement (each a Guarantor and, collectively, the Guarantors), hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally and irrevocably, guarantees to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties and their respective successors, indorsees, transferees and assigns, the prompt and complete payment and performance by the Borrower and the other Loan Parties when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the Secured Obligations. In furtherance of the foregoing, and without limiting the generality thereof, each Guarantor agrees as follows:
(i) each Guarantors liability hereunder shall be the immediate, direct, and primary obligation of such Guarantor and shall not be contingent upon the Administrative Agents or any Secured Partys exercise or enforcement of any remedy it or they may have against the Borrower, any other Guarantor, any other Person, or all or any portion of the Collateral; and
(ii) the Administrative Agent may enforce this guaranty notwithstanding the existence of any dispute between any of the Secured Parties and the Borrower or any other Guarantor with respect to the existence of any Event of Default.
(b) Anything herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum liability of each Guarantor hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall in no event exceed the amount which can be guaranteed by such Guarantor under applicable federal and state laws relating to the insolvency of debtors (after giving effect to the right of contribution established in Section 2.2).
(c) Each Guarantor agrees that the Secured Obligations may at any time and from time to time exceed the amount of the liability of such Guarantor hereunder without impairing the guarantee contained in this Section 2 or affecting the rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party hereunder.
(d) The guarantee contained in this Section 2 shall remain in full force and effect until all the Secured Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity or reimbursement obligations or
5
obligations which, by their terms, survive termination of the Credit Agreement) shall have been satisfied by payment in full, in cash, no Letters of Credit, Specified Swap Agreements, FX Forward Contracts or Cash Management Services shall be outstanding (unless back-stopped or cash collateralized to the satisfaction of the Issuing Lender, Qualified Counterparty or provider of Cash Management Services or FX Forward Contracts, as applicable), and all of the Commitments are terminated (the Discharge of Obligations), notwithstanding that from time to time during the term of the Credit Agreement the outstanding amount of the Secured Obligations may be zero.
(e) No payment made by the Borrower, any Guarantor, any other guarantor or any other Person or received or collected by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party from the Borrower, any Guarantor, any other guarantor or any other Person by virtue of any action or proceeding or any setoff or appropriation or application at any time or from time to time in reduction of or in payment of the Secured Obligations shall be deemed to modify, reduce, release or otherwise affect the liability of any Guarantor hereunder which shall, notwithstanding any such payment (other than any payment made by such Guarantor in respect of the Secured Obligations or any payment received or collected from such Guarantor in respect of the Secured Obligations), remain liable for the Secured Obligations up to the maximum liability of such Guarantor hereunder until the Discharge of Obligations.
2.2 Right of Contribution. If in connection with any payment made by any Guarantor hereunder any rights of contribution arise in favor of such Guarantor against one or more other Guarantors, such rights of contribution shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Section 2.3. The provisions of this Section 2.2 shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Guarantor to the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties, and each Guarantor shall remain liable to the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties for the full amount guaranteed by such Guarantor hereunder.
2.3 No Subrogation. Notwithstanding any payment made by any Guarantor hereunder or any setoff or application of funds of any Guarantor by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party, no Guarantor shall be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party against the Borrower or any other Guarantor or any Collateral or guarantee or right of offset held by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party for the payment of the Secured Obligations, nor shall any Guarantor seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from the Borrower or any other Guarantor in respect of payments made by such Guarantor hereunder, in each case, until the Discharge of Obligations. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time prior to the Discharge of Obligations, such amount shall be held by such Guarantor in trust for the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties, shall be segregated from other funds of such Guarantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Guarantor, be turned over to the Administrative Agent in the exact form received by such Guarantor (duly indorsed by such Guarantor to the Administrative Agent, if required), to be applied in such order as set forth in Section 6.5 hereof.
2.4 Amendments, etc. with respect to the Secured Obligations. Each Guarantor shall remain obligated hereunder notwithstanding that, without any reservation of rights against any Guarantor and without notice to or further assent by any Guarantor, any demand for payment of any of the Secured Obligations made by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party may be rescinded by the Administrative Agent or such Secured Party and any of the Secured Obligations continued, and the Secured Obligations, or the liability of any other Person upon or for any part thereof, or any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto, may, from time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed, extended, amended, modified, accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered or released by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party, and the Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Specified Swap Agreements, any FX Forward Contracts, any Cash Management Agreements and any other documents executed and delivered in connection therewith may be amended, modified, supplemented or terminated, in whole or in part, as the Administrative Agent (or the Required
6
Lenders or all of the Lenders, as the case may be) may deem advisable from time to time, and any collateral security, guarantee or right of offset at any time held by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party for the payment of the Secured Obligations may be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or released. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any other Secured Party shall have any obligation to protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien at any time held by it as security for the Secured Obligations or for the guarantee contained in this Section 2 or any property subject thereto.
2.5 Guarantee Absolute and Unconditional; Guarantor Waivers; Guarantor Consents. To the fullest extent permitted by law, each Guarantor waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Secured Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party upon the guarantee contained in this Section 2 or acceptance of the guarantee contained in this Section 2; the Secured Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred, or renewed, extended, amended or waived, in reliance upon the guarantee contained in this Section 2; and all dealings between the Borrower and any of the Guarantors on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties, on the other hand, likewise shall be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon the guarantee contained in this Section 2. To the fullest extent permitted by law, each Guarantor further waives:
(a) diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment and notice of default or nonpayment to or upon the Borrower or any of the other Guarantors with respect to the Secured Obligations;
(b) any right to require any Secured Party to marshal assets in favor of the Borrower, such Guarantor, any other Guarantor or any other Person, to proceed against the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person, to proceed against or exhaust any of the Collateral, to give notice to any Person of the terms, time and place of any public or private sale of personal property security constituting the Collateral or other collateral for the Secured Obligations or to comply with any other provisions of Section 9611 of the California UCC (or any equivalent provision of any other applicable law) or to pursue any other right, remedy, power or privilege of any Secured Party whatsoever;
(c) the defense of the statute of limitations in any action hereunder or for the collection or performance of the Secured Obligations;
(d) any defense arising by reason of any lack of corporate or other authority or any other defense of the Borrower, such Guarantor or any other Person;
(e) any defense based upon the Administrative Agents or any Secured Partys errors or omissions in the administration of the Secured Obligations;
(f) any rights to set-offs and counterclaims;
(g) any defense based upon an election of remedies (including, if available, an election to proceed by nonjudicial foreclosure) which destroys or impairs the subrogation rights of such Guarantor or the right of such Guarantor to proceed against the Borrower or any other obligor of the Secured Obligations for reimbursement; and
(h) without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by applicable law that limit the liability of or exonerate guarantors or sureties, or which may conflict with the terms of this Agreement.
Each Guarantor understands and agrees that the guarantee contained in this Section 2 shall be construed as a continuing, absolute and unconditional guarantee of payment without regard to (i) the
7
validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, any of the Secured Obligations or any other collateral security therefor or guarantee or right of offset with respect thereto at any time or from time to time held by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party, (ii) any defense, setoff or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or performance) which may at any time be available to or be asserted by the Borrower or any other Person against the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party, (iii) any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of the Borrower or such Guarantor) which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of the Borrower and the Guarantors for the Secured Obligations, or of such Guarantor under the guarantee contained in this Section 2, in bankruptcy or in any other instance, (iv) any Insolvency Proceeding with respect to the Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Person, (v) any merger, acquisition, consolidation or change in structure of the Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Person, or any sale, lease, transfer or other disposition of any or all of the assets or Voting Stock of the Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Person, (vi) any assignment or other transfer, in whole or in part, of any Secured Partys interests in and rights under this Guaranty or the other Loan Documents, including any Secured Partys right to receive payment of the Secured Obligations, or any assignment or other transfer, in whole or in part, of any Secured Partys interests in and to any of the Collateral, (vi) any Secured Partys vote, claim, distribution, election, acceptance, action or inaction in any Insolvency Proceeding related to any of the Secured Obligations, and (vii) any other guaranty, whether by such Guarantor or any other Person, of all or any part of the Secured Obligations or any other indebtedness, obligations or liabilities of any Guarantor to any Secured Party.
When making any demand hereunder or otherwise pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against any Guarantor, the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party may, but shall be under no obligation to make a similar demand on or otherwise pursue such rights and remedies as it may have against the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person or against any collateral security or guarantee for the Secured Obligations or any right of offset with respect thereto.

Each Grantor hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, a security interest in such Grantors right, title, and interest in and to all of the following property now owned or at any time hereafter acquired by such Grantor or in which such Grantor now has or at any time in the future may acquire any right, title or interest and wherever located (collectively, the Collateral), as collateral security for the prompt and complete payment and performance when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the Secured Obligations:
(a) all Accounts;
(b) all Chattel Paper;
(c) all Commercial Tort Claims;
(d) all Deposit Accounts;
(e) all Documents;
(f) all Equipment;
(g) all Fixtures;
(h) all General Intangibles;
(i) all Goods;
9
(j) all Instruments;

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Collateral does not include any Intellectual Property; provided, however, the Collateral shall include all Accounts and all proceeds of Intellectual Property. If a judiciary authority (including a U.S. Bankruptcy Court) would hold that a security interest in the underlying Intellectual Property is necessary to have a security interest in such Account and such property that are proceeds of Intellectual Property, then the Collateral shall automatically, and effective as of the date of this Agreement, include the Intellectual Property to the extent necessary to permit perfection of Administrative Agents security interest in such Account and such other property of Borrower that are proceeds of the Intellectual Property.
Grantor hereby agrees not to create, incur, allow or suffer any Lien on any of its property, or assign or convey and right to receive income, including the sale of any Accounts, or permit any of its Subsidiaries to do so, except for Liens permitted by Section 7.3 of the Credit Agreement, permit any Collateral not to be subject to the first priority security interest granted herein (other than Liens permitted by Section 7.3 of the Credit Agreement which have priority by operation of applicable law), or enter into any agreement, document, instrument or other arrangement (except in favor of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties) with any Person which directly or indirectly prohibits or has the effect of prohibiting Grantor or any of its Subsidiaries from assigning, mortgaging, pledging, granting a security interest in or upon, or encumbering any of the Grantors or any its Subsidiaries Intellectual Property.
Notwithstanding any of the other provisions set forth in this Section 3, this Agreement shall not constitute a grant of a security interest in any property to the extent that such grant of a security interest is prohibited by any Requirement of Law of a Governmental Authority or constitutes a breach or default under or results in the termination of or requires any consent not obtained under, any contract, license, agreement, instrument or other document evidencing or giving rise to such property, except (i) to the extent that the terms in such contract, license, instrument or other document providing for such prohibition, breach, default or termination, or requiring such consent are not permitted under the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement or (ii) to the extent that such Requirement of Law or the term in such contract, license, agreement, instrument or other document providing for such prohibition, breach, default or termination or requiring such consent is ineffective under Section 9406, 9407, 9408 or 9409 of the UCC (or any successor provision or provisions) of any relevant jurisdiction or any other applicable law (including the Bankruptcy Code) or principles of equity; provided, however, that such security
10
interest shall attach immediately at such time as such Requirement of Law is not effective or applicable, or such prohibition, breach, default or termination is no longer applicable or is waived, and to the extent severable, shall attach immediately to any portion of the Collateral that does not result in such consequences.
3.2 Grantors Remains Liable. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, (a) each Grantor shall remain liable under any contracts, agreements and other documents included in the Collateral, to the extent set forth therein, to perform all of its duties and obligations thereunder to the same extent as if this Agreement had not been executed, (b) the exercise by the Administrative Agent of any of the rights granted to the Administrative Agent hereunder shall not release any Grantor from any of its duties or obligations under any such contracts, agreements and other documents included in the Collateral, and (c) neither the Administrative Agent nor any other Secured Party shall have any obligation or liability under any such contracts, agreements and other documents included in the Collateral by reason of this Agreement, nor shall the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party be obligated to perform any of the obligations or duties of any Grantor thereunder or to take any action to collect or enforce any such contract, agreement or other document included in the Collateral hereunder.
3.3 Perfection and Priority.
(a) Financing Statements. Pursuant to any applicable law, each Grantor authorizes the Administrative Agent (and its counsel and its agents) to file or record at any time and from time to time any financing statements and other filing or recording documents or instruments with respect to the Collateral and each Grantor shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent and each Grantor hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent (and its counsel and its agents) to file (with or without the signature of such Grantor) at any time and from time to time, all amendments to financing statements, continuation financing statements, termination statements, security agreements relating to the Intellectual Property, if applicable, assignments, fixture filings, affidavits, reports notices and all other documents and instruments, in such form and in such offices as the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders determine appropriate to perfect and continue perfected, maintain the priority of or provide notice of the Administrative Agents security interest in the Collateral under and to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement. Each Grantor authorizes the Administrative Agent to use the collateral description all personal property, whether now owned or hereafter acquired or any other similar collateral description in any such financing statements. Each Grantor hereby ratifies and authorizes the filing by the Administrative Agent (and its counsel and its agents) of any financing statement with respect to the Collateral made prior to the date hereof.
(b) Filing of Financing Statements. Each Grantor shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, from time to time, such completed UCC-1 financing statements for filing or recording in the appropriate filing offices as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent.
(c) Transfer of Security Interest Other Than by Delivery. If for any reason Pledged Collateral cannot be delivered to or for the account of the Administrative Agent as provided in Section 5.6(b), each applicable Grantor shall promptly take such other steps as may be necessary or as shall be reasonably requested from time to time by the Administrative Agent to effect a grant of a perfected first priority security interest in and pledge of the Pledged Collateral to the Administrative Agent for itself and on behalf of and for the ratable benefit of the other Secured Parties pursuant to the UCC. To the extent practicable, each such Grantor shall thereafter deliver the Pledged Collateral to or for the account of the Administrative Agent as provided in Section 5.6(b).
(d) Reserved.
11
(e) Bailees. Any Person (other than the Administrative Agent) at any time and from time to time holding all or any portion of the Collateral shall be deemed to, and shall, hold the Collateral as the agent of, and as pledge holder for, the Administrative Agent. At any time and from time to time, the Administrative Agent may give notice to any such Person holding all or any portion of the Collateral that such Person is holding the Collateral as the agent and bailee of, and as pledge holder for, the Administrative Agent, and obtain such Persons written acknowledgment thereof. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor will join with the Administrative Agent in notifying any Person who has possession of any Collateral of the Administrative Agents security interest therein and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain an acknowledgment from such Person that it is holding the Collateral for the benefit of the Administrative Agent.
(f) Control. Each Grantor will cooperate with the Administrative Agent in obtaining control (as defined in the UCC) of Collateral consisting of any Deposit Accounts, Electronic Chattel Paper, Investment Property or Letter-of-Credit Rights, including delivery of control agreements, as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request, to perfect and continue perfected, maintain the priority of or provide notice of the Administrative Agents security interest in such Collateral.
(g) Additional Subsidiaries. In the event that any Grantor acquires rights in any Subsidiary after the date hereof, it shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a completed pledge supplement, substantially in the form of Annex 2 (the Pledge Supplement), together with all schedules thereto, reflecting the pledge of the Capital Stock (other than any Excluded Assets) of such new Subsidiary. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that the security interest of the Administrative Agent shall attach to the Pledged Collateral related to such Subsidiary immediately upon any Grantors acquisition of rights therein and shall not be affected by the failure of any Grantor to deliver a Pledge Supplement.

SECTION 6. REMEDIAL PROVISIONS
Each Grantor covenants and agrees with the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties that, from and after the date of this Agreement until the Discharge of Obligations:
6.1 Certain Matters Relating to Receivables.
20
(a) The Administrative Agent hereby authorizes each Grantor to collect such Grantors Receivables, and the Administrative Agent may curtail or terminate said authority at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default. If required by the Administrative Agent at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, any payments of Receivables, when collected by any Grantor, (i) shall be forthwith (and, in any event, within two Business Days) deposited by such Grantor in the exact form received, duly indorsed by such Grantor to the Administrative Agent if required, in a Collateral Account over which the Administrative Agent has control, subject to withdrawal by the Administrative Agent for the account of the Secured Parties only as provided in Section 6.5, and (ii) until so turned over, shall be held by such Grantor in trust for the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties, segregated from other funds of such Grantor. After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each such deposit of Proceeds of Receivables shall be accompanied by a report identifying in reasonable detail the nature and source of the payments included in the deposit.
(b) At the Administrative Agents request, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor shall deliver to the Administrative Agent all original and other documents evidencing, and relating to, the agreements and transactions which gave rise to the Receivables, including, without limitation, all original orders, invoices and shipping receipts.
6.2 Communications with Obligors; Grantors Remain Liable.
(a) The Administrative Agent in its own name or in the name of others may at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default communicate with obligors under the Receivables to verify with them to the Administrative Agents satisfaction the existence, amount and terms of any Receivables.
(b) Upon the request of the Administrative Agent, at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor shall notify obligors on the Receivables that the Receivables have been assigned to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties and that payments in respect thereof shall be made directly to the Administrative Agent.
(c) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, each Grantor shall remain liable under each of the Receivables to observe and perform all the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it thereunder, all in accordance with the terms of any agreement giving rise thereto. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any other Secured Party shall have any obligation or liability under any Receivable (or any agreement giving rise thereto) by reason of or arising out of this Agreement or the receipt by the Administrative Agent or any Lender of any payment relating thereto, nor shall the Administrative Agent nor any other Secured Party be obligated in any manner to perform any of the obligations of any Grantor under or pursuant to any Receivable (or any agreement giving rise thereto), to make any payment, to make any inquiry as to the nature or the sufficiency of any payment received by it or as to the sufficiency of any performance by any party thereunder, to present or file any claim, to take any action to enforce any performance or to collect the payment of any amounts which may have been assigned to it or to which it may be entitled at any time or times.
6.3 Investment Property.
(a) Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Administrative Agent shall have given written notice to the relevant Grantor of the Administrative Agents intent to exercise its corresponding rights pursuant to Section 6.3(b), each Grantor shall be permitted to receive all dividends paid in respect of the Pledged Collateral and all payments made in respect of the Pledged Notes to the extent not prohibited by the Credit Agreement, and to exercise all voting and corporate or other organizational rights with respect to the Investment Property of such
21
Grantor; provided, however, that no vote shall be cast or corporate or other organizational right exercised or other action taken which, in the Administrative Agents reasonable discretion, would materially impair the Collateral or which would be inconsistent with or result in any violation of any provision of the Credit Agreement, this Agreement or any other Loan Document.
(b) If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing and the Administrative Agent shall give notice of its intent to exercise such rights to the relevant Grantor or Grantors, (i) the Administrative Agent shall have the right (A) to receive any and all cash dividends, payments or other Proceeds paid in respect of the Investment Property (including the Pledged Collateral) of any or all of the Grantors and make application thereof to the Secured Obligations in the order set forth in Section 6.5, and (B) to exchange uncertificated Pledged Collateral for certificated Pledged Collateral and to exchange certificated Pledged Collateral for certificates of larger or smaller denominations, for any purpose consistent with this Agreement (in each case to the extent such exchanges are permitted under the applicable Pledged Collateral Agreements or otherwise agreed upon by the Issuer of such Pledged Collateral), and (ii) any and all of such Investment Property shall be registered in the name of the Administrative Agent or its nominee, and the Administrative Agent or its nominee may thereafter exercise (x) all voting, corporate and other rights pertaining to such Investment Property at any meeting of shareholders of the relevant Issuer or Issuers or otherwise and (y) any and all rights of conversion, exchange and subscription and any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to such Investment Property as if it were the absolute owner thereof (including, without limitation, the right to exchange at its discretion any and all of any such Investment Property upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other fundamental change in the corporate or other organizational structure of any Issuer, or upon the exercise by any Grantor or the Administrative Agent of any right, privilege or option pertaining to such Investment Property, and in connection therewith, the right to deposit and deliver any and all of such Investment Property with any committee, depositary, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agency upon such terms and conditions as the Administrative Agent may determine), all without liability except to account for property actually received by it, but the Administrative Agent shall have no duty to any Grantor to exercise any such right, privilege or option and shall not be responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so doing.
(c) Each Grantor hereby authorizes and instructs each Issuer of any Pledged Collateral or Pledged Notes pledged by such Grantor hereunder to (i) comply with any instruction received by it from the Administrative Agent in writing that (x) states that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (y) is otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, without any other or further instructions from such Grantor, and each Grantor agrees that each Issuer shall be fully protected in so complying, and (ii) unless otherwise expressly permitted hereby, pay any dividends or other payments with respect to the Pledged Collateral or, as applicable, the Pledged Notes directly to the Administrative Agent.
(d) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Administrative Agent shall have the right to apply the balance from any Deposit Account or instruct the bank at which any Deposit Account is maintained to pay the balance of any Deposit Account to or for the benefit of the Administrative Agent.
6.4 Proceeds to be Turned Over To Administrative Agent. In addition to the rights of the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties specified in Section 6.1 with respect to payments of Receivables, if an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, all Proceeds received by any Grantor consisting of cash, checks, Cash Equivalents and other near-cash items shall be held by such Grantor in trust for the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties, segregated from other funds of such Grantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Grantor, be turned over to the Administrative Agent in the exact form received by such Grantor (duly indorsed by such Grantor to the Administrative Agent, if required). All Proceeds received by the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be held by the
22
Administrative Agent in a Collateral Account over which it maintains control, within the meaning of the UCC. All Proceeds while held by the Administrative Agent in a Collateral Account (or by such Grantor in trust for the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties) shall continue to be held as collateral security for all the Secured Obligations and shall not constitute payment thereof until applied as provided in Section 6.5.
6.5 Application of Proceeds. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, at any time at the Administrative Agents election, the Administrative Agent may apply all or any part of Proceeds constituting Collateral, whether or not held in any Collateral Account, in payment of the Secured Obligations in accordance with Section 8.3 of the Credit Agreement.
6.6 Code and Other Remedies. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, may exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to them in this Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the Secured Obligations, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC or any other applicable law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent, without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by law) to or upon any Grantor or any other Person (all and each of which demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may in such circumstances forthwith, in accordance with applicable law, collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, lease, assign, give option or options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, brokers board or office of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. The Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in any Grantor, which right or equity is hereby waived and released. Each Grantor further agrees, at the Administrative Agents request, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Administrative Agent at places which the Administrative Agent shall reasonably select, whether at such Grantors premises or elsewhere. The Administrative Agent shall apply the net proceeds of any action taken by it pursuant to this Section 6.6, in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.5, only after deducting all reasonable and documented costs and expenses of every kind incurred in connection therewith or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties hereunder, including, without limitation, reasonable and documented out-of-pocket attorneys fees and disbursements, to the payment in whole or in part of the Secured Obligations then due, in such order as is contemplated by Section 8.3 of the Credit Agreement, and only after such application and after the payment by the Administrative Agent of any other amount required by any provision of law, including Section 9615(a)(3) of the UCC, but only to the extent of the surplus, if any, owing to any Grantor. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Grantor waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party arising out of the exercise by any of them of any rights hereunder, except to the extent caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent or such Secured Party or their respective agents. If any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of Collateral shall be required by law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at least 10 days before such sale or other disposition.
6.7 Registration Rights.
(a) [Reserved].
23
(b) Each Grantor recognizes that the Administrative Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all the Pledged Stock, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or otherwise, and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers which will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. Subject to its compliance with state securities laws applicable to private sales. the Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Pledged Stock for the period of time necessary to permit the Issuer thereof to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act, or under applicable state securities laws, even if such Issuer would agree to do so.
(c) Each Grantor agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to do or cause to be done all such other acts as may be necessary to make such sale or sales of all or any portion of the Pledged Stock pursuant to this Section 6.7 valid and binding and in compliance with any applicable Requirement of Law. Each Grantor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section 6.7 will cause irreparable injury to the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties, that the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Section 6.7 shall be specifically enforceable against such Grantor, and such Grantor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no Event of Default has occurred under the Credit Agreement.
6.8 Deficiency. Each Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay its Secured Obligations and the fees and disbursements of any attorneys employed by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to collect such deficiency.
SECTION 7. THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT
Each Grantor covenants and agrees with the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties that:
7.1 Administrative Agents Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact, etc.
(a) Each Grantor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Administrative Agent 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 such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor or in its own name, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor hereby gives the Administrative Agent the power and right, on behalf of such Grantor, without notice to or assent by such Grantor, to do any or all of the following:

24
Administrative Agent for the purpose of collecting any and all such moneys due under any Receivable or with respect to any other Collateral whenever payable;
(ii) [reserved];
(iii) pay or discharge taxes and Liens levied or placed on or threatened against the Collateral, effect any repairs or any insurance called for by the terms of this Agreement and pay all or any part of the premiums therefor and the costs thereof;
(iv) execute, in connection with any sale provided for in Section 6.6 or 6.7, any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Collateral; and
(v) (A) direct any party liable for any payment under any of the Collateral to make payment of any and all moneys due or to become due thereunder directly to the Administrative Agent or as the Administrative Agent shall direct; (B) ask or demand for, collect, and receive payment of and receipt for, any and all moneys, claims and other amounts due or to become due at any time in respect of or arising out of any Collateral; (C) sign and indorse any invoices, freight or express bills, bills of lading, storage or warehouse receipts, drafts against debtors, assignments, verifications, notices and other documents in connection with any of the Collateral; (D) commence and prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Collateral or any portion thereof and to enforce any other right in respect of any Collateral; (E) defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against such Grantor with respect to any Collateral; (F) settle, compromise or adjust any such suit, action or proceeding and, in connection therewith, give such discharges or releases as the Administrative Agent may deem appropriate; (G) [Reserved]; and (H) generally, sell, transfer, pledge and make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though the Administrative Agent were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and do, at the Administrative Agents option and such Grantors expense, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things which the Administrative Agent deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the Administrative Agents and the other Secured Parties security interests therein and to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as such Grantor might do.
Anything in this Section 7.1(a) to the contrary notwithstanding, the Administrative Agent agrees that it will not exercise any rights under the power of attorney provided for in this Section 7.1(a) unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.
(b) If any Grantor fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained herein, the Administrative Agent, at its option, but without any obligation so to do, may perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement.
(c) The expenses of the Administrative Agent incurred in connection with actions undertaken as provided in this Section 7.1, together with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the highest rate per annum at which interest would then be payable on any category of past due ABR Loans under the Credit Agreement, from the date of payment by the Administrative Agent to the date reimbursed by the relevant Grantor, shall be payable by such Grantor to the Administrative Agent on demand.
(d) Each Grantor hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. All powers, authorizations and agencies contained in this Agreement are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable until this Agreement is terminated and the security interests created hereby are released.
25
7.2 Duty of Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agents sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession, under Section 9207 of the UCC or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the Administrative Agent deals with similar property for its own account. Neither the Administrative Agent, any other Secured Party nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of any Grantor or any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof. The powers conferred on the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties hereunder are solely to protect the Administrative Agents and the other Secured Parties interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to exercise any such powers. The Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties shall be accountable only for amounts that they actually receive as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither they nor any of their officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to any Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own gross negligence or willful misconduct.
7.3 Authority of Administrative Agent. Each Grantor acknowledges that the rights and responsibilities of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement with respect to any action taken by the Administrative Agent or the exercise or non-exercise by the Administrative Agent of any option, voting right, request, judgment or other right or remedy provided for herein or resulting or arising out of this Agreement shall, as between the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties, be governed by the Credit Agreement and by such other agreements with respect thereto as may exist from time to time among them, but, as between the Administrative Agent and the Grantors, the Administrative Agent shall be conclusively presumed to be acting as agent for the Secured Parties with full and valid authority so to act or refrain from acting, and no Grantor shall be under any obligation, or entitlement, to make any inquiry respecting such authority.
SECTION 8. MISCELLANEOUS
8.1 Amendments in Writing. None of the terms or provisions of this Agreement may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except in accordance with Section 10.1 of the Credit Agreement.
8.2 Notices.

8.3 No Waiver by Course of Conduct; Cumulative Remedies. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any other Secured Party shall by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to Section 8.1), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Default or Event of Default, as applicable. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which the Administrative Agent or such other Secured Party would otherwise have on any future occasion. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by law.
8.4 Enforcement Expenses; Indemnification.
