The term “Effective Time” means the date and time of the filing of the Certificate of Merger (or such later time as may be agreed by each of the Parties and specified in the Certificate of Merger). Immediately prior to the filing of the Certificate of Merger, a closing (the “Closing”) will be held at the offices of Latham & Watkins, 885 Third Avenue, Suite 1000, New York, New York 10022-4802 (or such other place as the Parties may agree).

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Effective Time, all the property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of each of Pihana and Merger Sub shall vest in the Surviving Corporation, and all debts, liabilities, obligations, restrictions, disabilities and duties of each of Pihana and Merger Sub shall become the debts, liabilities, obligations, restrictions, disabilities and duties of the Surviving Corporation.
 
SECTION 1A.04    Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation.
 
(a)    At the Effective Time, the certificate of incorporation of Pihana as the Surviving Corporation shall be amended and restated to read the same as the certificate of incorporation of Merger Sub as in effect

2


 
immediately prior to the Effective Time, except that Article 1 of the amended and restated certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation, instead of reading the same as Article 1 of the certificate of incorporation of Merger Sub, shall read as follows: “The name of this corporation is Pihana Pacific, Inc.”
 
(b)    At the Effective Time, the bylaws of Pihana as the Surviving Corporation shall be amended to read the same as the bylaws of Merger Sub as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, except that all references to Merger Sub in the amended and restated bylaws of the Surviving Corporation shall be changed to refer to Pihana Pacific, Inc.

STT Communications may elect to transfer the i-STT Shares to a direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary to act as its nominee prior to the Closing. In such case, all references to ownership and delivery of i-STT Shares in this Agreement shall be deemed to refer to ownership and delivery by such nominee, and all references to deliveries of Parent Shares and other consideration to STT Communications shall be deemed to refer to deliveries to such nominee. Such transfer will not, in any event, relieve STT Communications from any of its obligations under this Agreement. STT Communications alternatively may elect to transfer Parent Shares received hereunder or other securities of Parent received under the Securities Purchase Agreement to such a nominee following Closing, and nothing contained in this Agreement, the Securities Purchase Agreement or any other agreement or instrument entered into in connection herewith or therewith shall be deemed to restrict such a transfer that is otherwise made in compliance with applicable law.

Following receipt of the Initial Pihana Certificate, STT Communications and Parent shall have the right to review the Initial Pihana Certificate and consult in good faith with Pihana regarding the Initial Pihana Certificate. No later than one business day prior to the Closing Date, Pihana shall deliver to Parent a final certificate certified by Pihana’s chief financial officer (the “Final Pihana Certificate”) identical to the Initial Pihana Certificate; provided, however, that the Final Pihana Certificate shall include any revisions mutually agreed upon by Parent, STT Communications and Pihana following such consultation period. The Pihana Closing Balance Sheet and the calculation of Pihana Working Capital, Pihana Cash Balance and Pihana Total Other Liabilities (x) shall be prepared using the same accounting principles, methods of computing estimates and otherwise on a consistent basis with those used in preparing the Pihana Audited Financial Statements and Pihana Interim Financial Statements and (y) shall include the same line items as the Pihana Reference Balance Sheet (all as defined in Section 3A.08).

Unless the Pihana Stockholders’ Representative delivers written notice to Parent and STT Communications on or prior to the 30th day after receipt of the Final Pihana Adjustment Calculation stating that the Pihana Stockholders’ Representative objects to the Final Pihana Adjustment Calculation (and setting forth in reasonable detail his calculation of disputed items), the Pihana Stockholders’ Representative shall be deemed to have accepted and agreed to the Final Pihana Adjustment Calculation. If the Pihana Stockholders’ Representative so notifies STT Communications of his objections to the Final Pihana Adjustment Calculation, the Stockholders’ Representative and STT Communications shall, within 60 days (or such longer period as the parties may mutually agree) following such notice (the “Pihana Adjustment Resolution Period”), attempt to resolve their differences, and any resolution by the Stockholders’ Representative and STT Communications, subject to the approval of Parent, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, as to any disputed amounts that are communicated to the Escrow Agent (as defined in Section 2A.03(b)) jointly by the Pihana Stockholders’ Representative, STT Communications and Parent and shall be final, binding and conclusive.

(d)    Any amounts remaining in dispute at the conclusion of the Pihana Adjustment Resolution Period (the “Pihana Unresolved Items”) shall be submitted to Ernst & Young LLP (or, if Ernst & Young LLP is unwilling to serve, such other internationally recognized firm of independent public accountants to be mutually agreed upon) (the “Independent Auditors”) within ten days after the expiration of the Pihana Adjustment Resolution Period. Each of the Pihana Stockholders’ Representative, Parent and STT Communications shall offer a final, good faith resolution to the Pihana Unresolved Items. The Independent Auditors shall then be required to choose one of the two proposed resolutions as most representative of correct calculation, under the terms of this Agreement, of the Pihana Unresolved Items.

The term “Pihana Adjusted Calculation,” as used in this Agreement, shall mean the definitive Pihana Cash Balance agreed to (or deemed agreed to) by Parent, STT Communications and the Pihana Stockholders’ Representative under Section 2A.02(c) or, if Pihana Unresolved Items are submitted to the Independent Auditors, such definitive Pihana Cash Balance, as adjusted to reflect the determination of the Independent Auditors under this Section 2A.02(d).
 
(e)    If and to the extent the Pihana Adjusted Calculation is less than the Pihana Cash Balance as shown in the Final Pihana Certificate (the “Pihana Cash Balance Deficiency”), then Parent shall deliver written notice to the Escrow Agent and the Pihana Stockholders’ Representative specifying the amount of Pihana Cash Balance Deficiency, and the Escrow Agent shall, in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement, deliver to Parent and STT Communications out of the Escrow Fund (as defined in Section 2A.03(b)) an aggregate number of Pihana Escrow Shares calculated and allocated between Parent and STT Communications in accordance with the Pihana Consideration Adjustment Schedule within five days of such notice. In addition, if and to the extent that (i) the lesser of (a) the Pihana Cash Balance Objective and (b) the Pihana Adjusted Calculation exceeds (ii) the Pihana Cash Balance as shown in the Final Pihana Certificate (the “Pihana Cash Balance Excess”), then Parent shall deliver written notice to the Escrow Agent, the Pihana Stockholders’ Representative, STT Communications and Parent’s transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”) specifying the amount of Pihana Cash Balance Excess, and instructing the Transfer Agent (on behalf of Parent) and STT Communications to deliver an aggregate number of shares of Parent Common Stock to the Pihana Stockholders’ Representative and the Escrow Agent calculated (and allocated from STT Communications and Parent) in accordance with the Pihana Consideration Adjustment Schedule (nine-tenths of which shares will be deliverable to the Stockholders’ Representative on behalf of the Pihana Stockholders and one-tenth of which will be deliverable to the Escrow Agent for inclusion in the Escrow Fund within five days of such notice.
 
(f)    During the calculation of Pihana Working Capital, Pihana Cash Balance and Pihana Total Other Liabilities prior to or following the Closing and the period of any review or dispute within the contemplation of this Agreement, (i) each party hereto shall provide, or cause to be provided, to the other parties and their authorized representatives, all reasonably requested access to all relevant books, records, workpapers and employees of the Surviving Corporation or Parent, whether then-employed by the Surviving Corporation or Parent, or the Pihana Stockholders’ Representative, as the case may be, to the extent such materials or persons are within their possession or control and (ii) the Pihana Stockholders’ Representative and Parent shall cooperate in full with each other and their authorized representatives, including the provision on a timely basis of all information necessary or useful.
 
(g)    In acting under this Section 2A.02, the Independent Auditors shall be entitled to the privileges and immunities of arbitrators. Each party agrees to execute, if requested by the Independent Auditors, a reasonable engagement letter. All fees and expenses relating to the work, if any, to be performed by the Independent Auditors (the “Independent Auditors’ Fees”) shall be borne pro rata by Parent, STT Communications and the Escrow Account (as defined in Section 2A.03(b)) in proportion to the allocation of the dollar amount of the Pihana Unresolved Items, made by the Independent Auditors such that the prevailing party or parties pays a lesser proportion of the fees and expenses.

SECTION 2A.03    Exchange of Certificates.
 
(a)    Exchange Procedures. From and after the Effective Time, a bank or trust company to be designated by Parent shall act as exchange agent (the “Exchange Agent”) in effecting the exchange of the applicable Parent Merger Shares for certificates which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding shares of Pihana Common Stock and Pihana Preferred Stock (collectively, “Pihana Stock”) (“Pihana Share Certificates”) and which were converted into the right to receive Parent Merger Shares pursuant to Section 2A.01. As promptly as practicable after the Effective Time, Parent and the Exchange Agent shall mail to each record holder of Pihana Share Certificates a letter of transmittal (the “Letter of Transmittal”) in a form approved prior to the Closing by Parent and Pihana and instructions for use in surrendering such Pihana Share Certificates and receiving the applicable Parent Merger Shares pursuant to Section 2A.01. At or prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall cause to be deposited in trust with the Exchange Agent, the Cash Consideration and the Parent Merger Shares less the Pihana Escrow Shares.
 
Upon the surrender of each Pihana Share Certificate for cancellation to the Exchange Agent, together with a properly completed Letter of Transmittal and such other documents as may reasonably be required by Parent:
 
(i)    Parent shall cause to be issued to the holder of such Pihana Share Certificate in exchange therefor (A) a check for such holder’s pro rata portion of the Cash Consideration and (B) a separate stock certificate representing the Parent Merger Shares to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2A.01 (less the Pihana Escrow Shares attributable to the pro rata interest of such holder in the Escrow Fund pursuant to Section 2.03(b)); and
 
(ii)    Pihana Share Certificates so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled.
 
If a transfer of ownership of shares of Pihana Stock is not registered in the transfer records of Pihana, the applicable Parent Merger Shares may be issued to a person other than the person in whose name Pihana Share Certificate so surrendered is registered if Pihana Share Certificate representing such shares of Pihana Stock is presented to Parent, accompanied by all documents required to evidence and effect such transfer and evidence that (i) the shares are transferable and (ii) any applicable stock transfer taxes have been paid.
 
Until surrendered as contemplated by this Article II-A, each Pihana Share Certificate shall, subject to appraisal rights under the DGCL and Section 2A.06, be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon surrender the applicable Parent Merger Shares with respect to the shares of Pihana Stock formerly represented thereby to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2A.01.
 
(b)    Escrow Fund. Prior to or simultaneously with the Closing, the Pihana Stockholders’ Representative and Parent shall enter into an escrow agreement (the “Escrow Agreement”) with an escrow agent selected by Parent and reasonably acceptable to the Pihana Stockholders’ Representative (the “Escrow Agent”) substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto. Pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement, Parent

10


 
shall deposit one or more certificates in the name of the Escrow Agent representing the Pihana Escrow Shares into an escrow account, which account is to be managed by the Escrow Agent (the “Escrow Account”) to serve as security for the Pihana Stockholders’ indemnity obligations hereunder. Any Pihana Escrow Shares in the Escrow Account are referred to herein as the “Escrow Fund.” In connection with such deposit of the Pihana Escrow Shares with the Escrow Agent and as of the Effective Time, each holder of Pihana Stock will be deemed to have received and deposited with the Escrow Agent each stockholder’s (other than holders of Dissenting Shares) pro rata interest in the Escrow Fund as determined as of Closing by reference to such stockholder’s ownership of shares of Pihana Stock (plus any additional shares as may be issued upon any stock split, stock dividend or recapitalization effected by Parent after the Effective Time with respect to shares constituting the Escrow Fund), without any act of the stockholders of Pihana (the “Pihana Stockholders”). Distributions of any Pihana Escrow Shares from the Escrow Account shall be governed by the terms and conditions of the Escrow Agreement. The adoption of this Agreement by Pihana Stockholders shall constitute approval of the Escrow Agreement and of all the arrangements relating thereto, including, without limitation, the placement of the Pihana Escrow Shares in escrow and the appointment of the Pihana Stockholders’ Representative.
 
(c)    Distributions with Respect to Unexchanged Parent Merger Shares. No dividends or other distributions declared or made after the Effective Time with respect to Parent Merger Shares comprising part of the Aggregate Merger Consideration with a record date after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Pihana Share Certificate with respect to the Parent Merger Shares represented thereby until the holder of such Pihana Share Certificate shall surrender such Pihana Share Certificate in accordance with this Section 2A.03.
 
(d)    No Further Rights in Pihana Stock.    The Parent Merger Shares issued upon the conversion of shares of Pihana Stock in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares of Pihana Stock.
 
(e)    No Fractional Shares.    Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no fractional shares of Parent Common Stock shall be issued upon the conversion and exchange of Pihana Share Certificates, and no holder of Pihana Share Certificates shall be entitled to receive a fractional share of Parent Common Stock. In the event that any holder of Pihana Stock would otherwise be entitled to receive a fractional share of Parent Common Stock (after aggregating all shares and fractional shares of Parent Common Stock issuable to such holder), then such holder will receive an aggregate number of shares of Parent Common Stock rounded up or down to the nearest whole share (with 0.5 being rounded up). In the event that any holder of Pihana Stock would otherwise be entitled to receive a fractional share of Parent Common Stock (after aggregating all shares and fractional shares of Parent Common Stock issuable to such holder), then such holder will receive an aggregate number of shares of Parent Common Stock rounded up or down to the nearest whole share.
 
(f)    No Liability.    Neither Parent nor the Surviving Corporation shall be liable to any holder of shares of Pihana Stock for any such shares of Parent Common Stock (or dividends or distributions with respect thereto) or cash properly and legally delivered to a public official pursuant to any abandoned property, escheat or similar law.
 
(g)    Withholding Rights.    Each of the Exchange Agent, the Surviving Corporation and Parent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of shares of Pihana Stock such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code (as defined in Section 10.02(d)), or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax (as defined in Section 3A.15(c)) Law (as defined in Section 3A.06(a)). To the extent that amounts are so withheld by the Exchange Agent, the Surviving Corporation or Parent, as the case may be, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of the shares of Pihana Stock in respect of which such deduction and withholding were made by the Exchange Agent, the Surviving Corporation or Parent, as the case may be.

11


 
(h)    Lost Certificates.    If any Pihana Share Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming such Pihana Share Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by the Surviving Corporation, the posting by such person of a bond, in such reasonable amount as the Surviving Corporation may reasonably direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Pihana Share Certificate, Parent shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Pihana Share Certificate, the applicable Parent Merger Shares (and dividends or other distributions pursuant to Section 2A.03(c)) to which such person is entitled pursuant to the provisions of this Article II-A.
 
(i)    Return of Parent Merger Shares.    Promptly following the end of the sixth full calendar month after the Effective Time, the Exchange Agent shall return to Parent all of the remaining Parent Merger Shares and Cash Consideration in the Exchange Agent’s possession and the Exchange Agent’s duties shall terminate. Thereafter, upon the surrender of a Pihana Share Certificate to Parent, together with a properly executed Letter of Transmittal and such other documents as may reasonably be required by Parent, and subject to applicable abandoned property, escheat and similar Laws, the holder of such Pihana Share Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the applicable Parent Merger Shares (and dividends or other distributions pursuant to Section 2A.03(c)) without any interest thereon.
 
SECTION 2A.04    Stock Transfer Books.    At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of Pihana shall be closed and there shall be no further registration of transfers of shares of Pihana Stock thereafter on the records of Pihana.
 
SECTION 2A.05    Pihana Stock Options; Pihana Warrants.
 
(a)    Parent will not assume options to purchase Pihana Common Stock issued by Pihana.
 
(b)    At the Effective Time, each warrant to acquire shares of Series B-1 Preferred Stock granted and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (each a “Pihana Warrant”), whether or not contingent or earned and whether exercisable or unexercisable, that does not terminate by its terms at or prior to the Effective Time, shall be converted into a warrant to acquire shares of Parent Common Stock in accordance with its terms. Each Pihana Warrant so converted shall continue to have, and be subject to, the same terms and conditions set forth in such Pihana Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time, except that (i) such Pihana Warrant shall be exercisable (or become exercisable in accordance with its terms) for that number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock (rounded down to the nearest whole number) equal to the product of the number of shares of Pihana Series B-1 Preferred Stock that were issuable upon exercise of such Pihana Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by the Series B-1 Exchange Ratio (as modified to reflect any post-closing adjustments to the Aggregate Merger Consideration), and (ii) the per share exercise price for the shares of Parent Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such assumed Pihana Warrant shall be equal to the exercise price per share of Pihana Stock at which such Pihana Warrant was exercisable immediately prior to the Effective Time divided by the Pihana Series B-1 Preferred Stock Exchange Ratio (as modified to reflect any post-closing adjustment to the Aggregate Merger Consideration and rounded down to the nearest whole cent).
 
SECTION 2A.06    Dissenting Shares.
 
(a)    Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, shares of Pihana Stock that are outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and which are held by stockholders who have exercised and perfected appraisal rights for such shares of Pihana Stock in accordance with the DGCL (collectively, the “Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into or represent the right to receive the applicable Parent Merger Shares. Such stockholders shall be entitled to receive payment of the appraised value of such shares of Pihana Stock held by them in accordance with the DGCL, unless and until such stockholders fail to perfect or effectively withdraw or otherwise lose their appraisal rights under the DGCL. All Dissenting Shares held by stockholders who shall have failed to perfect or who effectively shall have withdrawn or lost

12


 
their right to appraisal of such shares of Pihana Stock under the DGCL shall thereupon be deemed to have been converted into and to have become exchangeable for, as of the Effective Time, the right to receive the applicable Parent Merger Shares, without any interest thereon, upon the surrender, in the manner provided in Section 2A.03 (including the provision for the Pihana Escrow Shares pursuant to Section 2A.03(b)), of the corresponding Pihana Share Certificate.
 
(b)    Pihana shall give Parent (i) prompt notice of any demands for appraisal received by Pihana, withdrawals of such demands, and any other related instruments served pursuant to the DGCL and received by Pihana and (ii) the opportunity to direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to demands for appraisal under the DGCL. Pihana shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, make any payment with respect to any demands for appraisal or offer to settle or settle any such demands.

(a)    No later than five business days and no earlier than ten business days prior to the Closing Date,  i-STT, together with STT Communications, shall prepare a certificate certified by i-STT’s chief financial officer (the “Initial i-STT Certificate”) which contains: (i) an estimated consolidated balance sheet of i-STT and its subsidiaries (the “i-STT Closing Balance Sheet”) as of the opening of business on the day during which the Closing Date occurs without giving effect to the transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) a calculation of the estimated i-STT Working Capital (as defined in Section 2B.02(h)) and (iii) a calculation of the estimated i-STT Total Other Liabilities (as defined in Section 2B.02(h)). Following receipt of the Initial i-STT Certificate, Parent and Pihana shall have the right to review the Initial i-STT Certificate and consult in good faith with i-STT regarding the Initial i-STT Certificate. No later than one business day prior to the Closing Date, i-STT shall deliver to Parent and Pihana a final certificate certified by i-STT’s chief financial officer (the “Final i-STT Certificate”) identical to the Initial i-STT Certificate; provided, however that the Final i-STT Certificate shall include any revisions mutually agreed upon by Parent, Pihana, i-STT and STT Communications following such consultation period. The i-STT Closing Balance Sheet and the calculation of i-STT Working Capital and i-STT Total Other Liabilities (x) shall be prepared in accordance with the same accounting principles, methods of computing estimates and otherwise on a consistent basis with those used in preparing the i-STT Audited Financial Statements and i-STT Interim Financial Statements and (y) shall include the same line items as the i-STT Reference Balance Sheet (all as defined in Section 3B.08).

Unless STT Communications delivers written notice to Parent on or prior to the 30th day after receipt of the Final i-STT Adjustment Calculation stating that STT Communications objects to the Final i-STT Adjustment Calculation (and setting forth in reasonable detail its calculation of disputed items), STT Communications shall be deemed to have accepted and agreed to the Final i-STT Adjustment Calculation. If STT Communications so notifies Parent of its objections to the Final i-STT Adjustment Calculation, the parties shall, within 60 days (or such longer period as the parties may mutually agree) following such notice (the  “i-STT Adjustment Resolution Period”), attempt to resolve their differences.

In addition, if and to the extent that (i) the lesser of (a) the i-STT Working Capital Objective and (b) the i-STT Adjusted Calculation exceeds (ii) i-STT Working Capital as shown in the Final i-STT Certificate, (the “i-STT Working Capital Excess”), then Parent shall deliver written notice to STT Communications, the Pihana Stockholders’ Representative and the Transfer Agent specifying the amount of i-STT Working Capital Excess, and instructing the Transfer Agent (on behalf of Parent) and the Escrow Agent (on behalf of the Pihana Stockholders) to deliver an aggregate number of shares of Parent Common Stock to STT Communications equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) i-STT Working Capital Excess, by (y) $1.53, calculated (and allocated from Parent and the Pihana Stockholders) in accordance with the i-STT Consideration Adjustment Schedule within five days of such notice.
 
(f)    During the calculation of i-STT Working Capital and i-STT Total Other Liabilities prior to or following the Closing and the period of any review or dispute within the contemplation of this Agreement, (i) each of i-STT, STT Communications and Parent shall provide, or cause to be provided, to the other Parties and their authorized representatives, all reasonably requested access to all relevant books, records, workpapers and employees of STT Communications or Parent, whether then-employed by STT Communications or Parent, as the case may be, to the extent such materials or persons are within their possession or control and (ii) STT Communications and Parent shall cooperate in full with each other and their authorized representatives, including the provision on a timely basis of all information necessary or useful.
 
(g)    In acting under this Section 2B.02, the Independent Auditors shall be entitled to the privileges and immunities of arbitrators. Each party agrees to execute, if requested by the Independent Auditors, a reasonable engagement letter. All Independent Auditors’ Fees shall be borne pro rata by Parent, STT Communications and the Escrow Account in proportion to the allocation of the dollar amount of the i-STT Unresolved Items, made by the Independent Auditors such that the prevailing party or parties pays a lesser proportion of the fees and expenses.

(i)    “i-STT Consideration Adjustment Schedule” determines the amount of shares to be allocated to each of Parent, the Escrow Account (on behalf of the Pihana Stockholders) and the Pihana Stockholders in the event of a i-STT Working Capital Shortfall or a i-STT Working Capital Deficiency. The i-STT Consideration Adjustment Schedule is attached hereto as Schedule 2B.02(h)(i). Any i-STT Working Capital Shortfall shall be reflected in the calculation of the Aggregate Stock Purchase Consideration deliverable at Closing pursuant to Section 2B.01 and the Aggregate Merger Consideration deliverable pursuant to Section 2A.03, and any i-STT Working Capital Deficiency (which shall not duplicate any adjustments already accounted for as a result of an i-STT Working Capital Shortfall) shall be given effect pursuant to the deliveries set forth in Section 2B.02(e).

Each Pihana Subsidiary has all requisite power and authority to carry on its business as it is now being conducted and as currently proposed to be conducted and to own, lease and otherwise use the assets and properties owned and used by it. Pihana has delivered to the Parent and STT Communications complete and accurate copies of the charter, bylaws or other organizational documents of each Pihana Subsidiary.

No action, claim or proceeding is pending or, to the knowledge of Pihana, threatened with respect to any Pihana Plan (other than claims for benefits in the ordinary course or relating to qualified domestic relations orders described in Section 414(p) of the Code) and Pihana is not aware of any fact or event that exists that could be reasonably expected to give rise to any such action, claim or proceeding. Neither Pihana nor any person that is a member of the same controlled group as Pihana or under common control with Pihana within the meaning of Section 414 of the Code (each, an “ERISA Affiliate”) is subject to any material penalty or Tax with respect to any Pihana Plan under Section 502(i) of ERISA or Sections 4975 through 4980 of the Code. Each Pihana Plan can be amended, terminated or otherwise discontinued at any time without material liability to Parent, Pihana or any of their ERISA Affiliates (other than benefits already accrued, ordinary administration

25


 
expenses, and the expenses associated with terminating the plan), other than contractual rights held by employees pursuant to employment agreements and option agreements each of which affirms an at will employment relationship.

(g)    Neither Pihana nor any Pihana Subsidiary nor any ERISA Affiliate has incurred any material liability under, arising out of or by operation of Title IV of ERISA (other than liability for premiums to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation arising in the ordinary course), including, without limitation, any liability in connection with (i) the termination or reorganization of any employee benefit plan subject to Title IV of ERISA or (ii) the withdrawal from any Multiemployer Plan or Single Employer Plan, and Pihana is unaware of any fact or event that exists that could be reasonably expected to give rise to any such material liability.

29


items as have yet to be conceived or developed or that are expected to be available for licensing on reasonable terms from third parties. Section 3A.14 of the Pihana Disclosure Letter contains a complete list of licenses, registered copyrights and trademarks, patents, trademark and patent registrations or applications, as the case may be, of Pihana and the Pihana Subsidiaries.

SECTION 3A.15    Taxes.
 
(a)    All Tax (as defined below) returns, statements, reports, declarations and other forms and documents (including without limitation estimated Tax returns and reports and material information returns and reports) required to be filed with any Tax Authority (as defined below) on or before the Closing with respect to any Taxable (as defined below) period ending on or before the Closing, by or on behalf of Pihana or any Pihana Subsidiary (collectively, “Pihana Tax Returns” and individually, a “Pihana Tax Return”), have been or will be completed and filed when due (including any extensions of such due date) and all amounts shown due on such Pihana Tax Returns on or before the Effective Time have been or will be paid on or before such date (except to the extent that a reserve for Taxes has been reflected on the Pihana Interim Financial Statements in accordance with GAAP). The Pihana Interim Financial Statements (i) fully accrue all actual and contingent liabilities for Taxes (as defined below) with respect to all periods through June 30, 2002 and Pihana has not and will not incur any Tax liability in excess of the amount reflected (excluding any amount thereof that reflects timing differences between the recognition of income for purposes of GAAP and for Tax purposes) on the Pihana Reference Balance Sheet included in the Pihana Interim Financial Statements with respect to such periods, and (ii) properly accrues in accordance with GAAP all material liabilities for Taxes payable after June 30, 2002, with respect to all transactions and events occurring on or prior to June 30, 2002. All information set forth in the notes to the Pihana Interim Financial Statements relating to Tax matters is true, complete and accurate in all material respects. Pihana has not incurred any material Tax liability since June 30, 2002 other than in the ordinary course of business and Pihana has made adequate provisions for all Taxes since that date in accordance with GAAP on at least a quarterly basis. The adjusted basis of Pihana’s assets exceed the sum of its liabilities. None of the Pihana Subsidiaries (other than any of such entities that are organized under the laws of a State of the United States) has either current or accumulated earnings and profits within the meaning of Section 312 of the Code.
 
(b)    Pihana has withheld and paid to the applicable financial institution or Tax Authority all amounts required to be withheld. To the knowledge of Pihana, no Pihana Tax Returns filed with respect to Taxable years through the Taxable year ended December 31, 2001 in the case of the United States, have been examined and closed. Pihana (or any member of any affiliated or combined group of which Pihana has been a member) has not granted any extension or waiver of the limitation period applicable to any Pihana Tax Returns that is still in effect and there is no material claim, audit, action, suit, proceeding, or (to the knowledge of Pihana) investigation now pending or threatened against or with respect to Pihana in respect

30


of any Tax or assessment. No notice of deficiency or similar document of any Tax Authority has been received by Pihana, and there are no liabilities for Taxes (including liabilities for interest, additions to Tax and penalties thereon and related expenses) with respect to the issues that have been raised (and are currently pending) by any Tax Authority that could, if determined adversely to Pihana, materially and adversely affect the liability of Pihana for Taxes. There are no liens for Taxes (other than for current Taxes not yet due and payable) upon the assets of Pihana. Pihana has never been a member of an affiliated group of corporations, within the meaning of Section 1504 of the Code other than a group of which Pihana is the common parent. Pihana is in full compliance with all the terms and conditions of any Tax exemption or other Tax-sparing agreement or order of a foreign government, and the consummation of the Merger will not have any adverse effect on the continued validity and effectiveness of any such Tax exemption or other Tax-sparing agreement or order. Neither Pihana nor any person on behalf of Pihana has entered into or will enter into any agreement or consent pursuant to the collapsible corporation provisions of Section 341(f) of the Code (or any corresponding provision of state, local or foreign income tax Law) or agreed to have Section 341(f)(2) of the Code (or any corresponding provision of state, local or foreign income tax Law) apply to any disposition of any asset owned by Pihana. None of the assets of Pihana is property that Pihana is required to treat as being owned by any other person pursuant to the so-called “safe harbor lease” provisions of former Section 168(f)(8) of the Code. None of the assets of Pihana directly or indirectly secures any debt the interest on which is tax exempt under Section 103(a) of the Code. None of the assets of Pihana is “tax-exempt use property” within the meaning of Section 168(h) of the Code. Pihana has not made and will not make a deemed dividend election under Treas. Reg. §1.1502-32(f)(2) or a consent dividend election under Section 565 of the Code. Pihana has never been a party (either as a distributing corporation, a distributed corporation or otherwise) to any transaction intended to qualify under Section 355 of the Code or any corresponding provision of state Law. Pihana has not participated in (and will not participate in) an international boycott within the meaning of Section 999 of the Code. Except as set forth in Section 3A.15(b) of the Pihana Disclosure Letter, Pihana (other than any non-United States Subsidiaries of Pihana) does not have and has not had a permanent establishment in any foreign country, as defined in any applicable Tax treaty or convention between the United States of America and such foreign country and Pihana has not engaged in a trade or business within any foreign country. Pihana has never elected to be treated as an S-corporation under Section 1362 of the Code or any corresponding provision of Federal or state Law. All material elections with respect to Pihana’s Taxes made during the fiscal years ending December 31, 1999, 2000 and 2001 are reflected on Pihana’s Tax Returns for such periods, copies of which have been provided to Parent. After the date of this Agreement, no material election with respect to Taxes will be made without the prior written consent of Parent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Pihana is not party to any joint venture, partnership, or other arrangement or contract which could be treated as a partnership for Federal income tax purposes. Pihana is not currently and never has been subject to the reporting requirements of Section 6038A of the Code. Except as provided in Section 3A.15(b) of the Pihana Disclosure Letter, there is no agreement, contract or arrangement to which Pihana is a party that could, individually or collectively, result in the payment of any amount that would not be deductible by reason of Sections 280G (as determined without regard to Section 280G(b)(4)), 162 (other than 162(a)) or 404 of the Code. Pihana is not a party to or bound by any Tax indemnity, Tax sharing or Tax allocation agreement (whether written or unwritten or arising under operation of Federal Law as a result of being a member of a group filing consolidated Pihana Tax Returns, under operation of certain state Laws as a result of being a member of a unitary group, or under comparable Laws of other states or foreign jurisdictions) that includes a party other than Pihana nor does Pihana owe any amount under any such agreement. Pihana has previously made available to Parent and i-STT true and correct copies of all income, franchise, and sales Pihana Tax Returns, and, as reasonably requested by Parent, prior to the date hereof, presently existing information statements and reports. Pihana is not, and has not been, a United States real property holding corporation (as defined in Section 897(c)(2) of the Code) during the applicable period specified in Section 897(c)(1)(A)(ii) of the Code, and will not be a United States real property holding corporation as of the Closing Date. Except as provided in Section 3A.15(b) of the Pihana Disclosure Letter, Pihana has not been and will not be required to include any material adjustment in Taxable income for any Tax period (or portion thereof)

The term “i-STT Material Adverse Effect” means any event, change, circumstance or effect that is, or would be reasonably likely to, have either individually or in the aggregate, a materially adverse effect on the business, operations, condition (financial or otherwise), assets (tangible or intangible), liabilities, properties, or results of operations of i-STT and the i-STT Subsidiaries (as defined in Section 3B.03(a)), taken as a whole, except for any such events, changes, circumstances or effects primarily resulting from or arising in connection with (i) any changes in general economic or business conditions of the markets in which i-STT and the i-STT Subsidiaries operate that do not disproportionately impact i-STT and the i-STT Subsidiaries taken as a whole, or (ii) any changes or events affecting the industry in which i-STT operates that do not disproportionately impact i-STT and the i-STT Subsidiaries, taken as a whole (it being understood that in any controversy concerning the applicability of the preceding exceptions, STT Communications shall have the burden of proof with respect to the elements of such exceptions).

All material elections with respect to i-STT’s Taxes made during the fiscal years ending December 31, 1999, 2000 and 2001 are reflected on i-STT’s Tax Returns for such periods, copies of which have been provided to Parent. After the date of this Agreement, no material election with respect to Taxes will be made without the prior written consent of Parent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. i-STT is not a party to or bound by any Tax indemnity, Tax sharing or Tax allocation agreement that includes a party other than i-STT nor does i-STT owe any amount under any such agreement. i-STT has previously made available to Parent and i-STT true and correct copies of all income, franchise, and sales i-STT Tax Returns, and, as reasonably requested by Parent, prior to the date hereof, presently existing information statements and reports.

None of Parent or any Parent Subsidiary, the officers or directors thereof in their capacity as such, or any property or asset of Parent or any Parent Subsidiary is subject to any continuing order of, consent decree, settlement agreement or other similar written agreement with, or, to the knowledge of Parent, continuing investigation by, any Governmental Entity, or any order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, determination or award of any court, arbitrator or Governmental Entity. Neither Parent nor any Parent Subsidiary has any plans to initiate any Parent Legal Proceeding against any third party.
 
(b)    Except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Parent Material Adverse Effect, neither Parent nor any Parent Subsidiary is in conflict with, or in default or violation of (i) any Law applicable to Parent or any Parent Subsidiary or by which any property or asset of Parent or any Parent Subsidiary is bound or affected or (ii) any note, bond, mortgage, indenture, contract, agreement, lease, license, permit, franchise or other instrument or obligation to which Parent or any Parent Subsidiary is a party or by which Parent or any Parent Subsidiary or any property or asset of Parent or any Parent Subsidiary is bound or affected.

SECTION 4.13    Intellectual Property.    To the knowledge of Parent and the Parent Subsidiaries, Parent and the Parent Subsidiaries have sufficient title and ownership of or license to all patents, trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyrights, trade secrets, information, proprietary rights and processes necessary for their respective businesses as now conducted without any material conflict with or infringement of the rights of others, except (i) for such items as have yet to be conceived or developed or that are expected to be available for licensing on reasonable terms from third parties, or (ii) where the absence of such title, ownership, or license is not reasonably likely to result in a Parent Material Adverse Effect. Section 4.13 of the Parent Disclosure Letter contains a complete list of material licenses, registered copyrights, trademarks, patents, and trademark and patent registrations or applications, as the case may be, of Parent and the Parent Subsidiaries. Except in the ordinary course of business, to the knowledge of Parent, there are no outstanding material options, licenses, or agreements of the Parent or any Parent Subsidiary of any kind relating to the foregoing. Parent or the Parent Subsidiaries are not bound by or party to any material options, licenses or agreements of any kind with respect to the patents, trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyrights, trade secrets, licenses, information, proprietary rights and processes of any other person or entity, except, in either case, for standard end-user, object code, internal-use software license or support/maintenance agreements. Parent and the Parent Subsidiaries have not received any written communications alleging that they have violated or, by conducting their respective businesses as proposed, would violate any of the patents, trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyrights or trade secrets or other proprietary rights of any other person or entity. Parent and the Parent Subsidiaries are not aware that any of their employees are obligated under any contract (including licenses, covenants or commitments of any nature) or other agreement, or subject to any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative agency, that would interfere with the use of his or her best efforts to promote the interests of Parent’s and the Parent’s Subsidiaries’ respective businesses. Neither the execution nor delivery of this Agreement, nor the carrying on of Parent’s and the Parent’s Subsidiaries’ respective businesses by the employees, will, to the best of Parent’s and the Parent’s Subsidiaries’ knowledge, conflict with or result in a breach of the terms, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under, any material contract, covenant or instrument under which any of such employees is now obligated.
 
SECTION 4.14    Taxes.
 
(a)    All Tax returns, statements, reports, declarations and other forms and documents (including without limitation estimated Tax returns and reports and material information returns and reports) required to be filed with any Tax Authority (as defined below) on or before the Closing with respect to any Taxable (as defined below) period ending on or before the Closing, by or on behalf of Parent or any Parent Subsidiary (collectively, “Parent Tax Returns” and individually, a “Parent Tax Return”), have been or will be completed and filed when due (including any extensions of such due date) and all amounts shown due on such Parent Tax Returns on or before the Effective Time have been or will be paid on or before such date (except to the extent that a reserve for Taxes has been reflected on the Parent Financial Statements in accordance with GAAP). The Parent Financial Statements (i) fully accrue all actual and contingent liabilities for Taxes (as defined below) with respect to all periods through June 30, 2002 and Parent has not and will not incur any Tax liability in excess of the amount reflected (excluding any amount thereof that reflects timing differences between the recognition of income for purposes of GAAP and for Tax purposes) on the Parent Financial Statements with respect to such periods, and (ii) properly accrues in accordance with GAAP all material liabilities for Taxes payable after June 30, 2002, with respect to all transactions and events occurring on or prior to such date. All information set forth in the notes to the Parent Financial Statements relating to Tax matters is true, complete and accurate in all material respects. Parent has not

53


incurred any material Tax liability since June 30, 2002 other than in the ordinary course of business and Parent has made adequate provisions for all Taxes since that date in accordance with GAAP on at least a quarterly basis. Parent has withheld and paid to the applicable financial institution or Tax Authority all amounts required to be withheld. Parent is in full compliance with all the terms and conditions of any Tax exemption or other Tax-sparing agreement or order of a foreign government, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein (or any of them) will not have any adverse effect on the continued validity and effectiveness of any such Tax exemption or other Tax-sparing agreement or order. Parent has never been a party (either as a distributing corporation, a distributed corporation or otherwise) to any transaction intended to qualify under Section 355 of the Code or any corresponding provision of state Law. As used in this Section 4.14, the term “Parent” means Parent, the Parent Subsidiaries and any entity included in, or required under GAAP to be included in, any of the Parent Financial Statements.
 
(b)    In relation to goods and services tax and/or value-added or other similar tax, Parent (i) has been duly registered and is a taxable person; (ii) has complied, in all respects, with all statutory requirements, orders, provisions, directions or conditions; (iii) maintains complete, correct and up to date records as is required by the applicable legislation; and (iv) has not been required by the relevant authorities of customs and excise to give security.

SECTION 4.16    Assets; Absence of Liens and Encumbrances.    Except as set forth in the Parent Disclosure Letter, Parent and the Parent Subsidiaries have good and marketable title to all properties and assets owned by them that are material to the operation of Parent’s business, in each case free from Liens, encumbrances and defects that would materially affect the value thereof or materially interfere with the use made or to be made thereof by them; and Parent and the Parent Subsidiaries hold any leased real or personal property that are material to the operation of Parent’s business under valid and enforceable leases with no exceptions that would materially interfere with the use made or to be made thereof by them.
 
SECTION 4.17    Owned Real Property.    Parent and Parent Subsidiaries do not own any real property.

SECTION 4.19    Insurance Policies.    Parent maintains insurance with respect to its businesses, properties, officers, directors and employees customary with industry practices. True and complete copies of all such policies have been made available to STT Communications and Pihana. All premiums due as of the date of this Agreement on such policies have been paid, and Parent and each Parent Subsidiary is otherwise in compliance with the terms of such policies. Neither Parent nor any Parent Subsidiary has failed to give any notice or present any claim under any such policy in a timely fashion, except where such failure would not prejudice Parent’s or any Parent Subsidiary’s ability to make a claim. Such insurance to the date hereof has been maintained in full force and effect and not been canceled or changed, except to extend the maturity dates thereof. Neither Parent nor any Parent Subsidiary has received any notice or other communication regarding any actual or possible (i) cancellation or threatened termination of any insurance policy, (ii) refusal of any coverage or rejection of any claim under any insurance policy or (iii) material adjustment in the amount of the premiums payable with respect to any insurance policy.

54


 
SECTION 4.20    Restrictions on Business Activities.    There is no agreement, commitment, judgment, injunction, order or decree binding upon Parent or any Parent Subsidiary or to which Parent or any Parent Subsidiary is a party which has or could reasonably be expected to have the effect of prohibiting or materially impairing any business practice material to Parent or any Parent Subsidiary, any acquisition of property by Parent or any Parent Subsidiary or the conduct of business by Parent or any Parent Subsidiary as currently conducted or as proposed to be conducted.
 
SECTION 4.21    Customers and Suppliers.    Section 4.21 of the Parent Disclosure Letter contains a complete list of all customers that accounted for 3% or more of Parent’s and the Parent Subsidiaries (taken as a whole) monthly recurring revenue for September 2002.

No material supplier of Parent or any Parent Subsidiary has cancelled or otherwise terminated any contract with Parent or any Parent Subsidiary prior to the expiration of the contract term, or made any threat to Parent or any Parent Subsidiary to cancel, reduce the supply or otherwise terminate its relationship with Parent or any Parent Subsidiary.

No other “fair price,” “moratorium,” “control share acquisition” or other similar anti-takeover statute or regulation or any anti-takeover provision in Parent’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws is, or at the Effective Time will be, applicable to Parent, STT Communications, i-STT, the shares of Parent Common Stock, the Combination or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Each of Parent, STT Communications and Pihana shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Proxy Statement to be cleared for mailing as promptly as practicable. Each Party shall furnish all information concerning itself as the other may reasonably request in connection with such actions and the

62

(b)    Except as provided in this Section 6.01(b), the Proxy Statement shall, subject to the fiduciary duties of the Board of Directors of Parent, include the recommendation of the board of directors of Parent to the stockholders of Parent to vote in favor of the approval of this Agreement (the “Parent Board Recommendation”) and approval of the reverse split of the Parent Common Stock and neither the board of directors of Parent nor any committee thereof shall, subject to the next sentence of this Section 6.01(b), withdraw or modify, or propose or resolve to withdraw or modify, in each case in a manner adverse to Pihana or STT Communications, the Parent Board Recommendation. Prior to the time of the Parent Stockholders’ Meeting, Parent’s board of directors may:
 
(i)    (x) approve or recommend a Superior Proposal (as defined in Section 6.12(d)), or (y) enter into an agreement with respect to a Superior Proposal, in each case at any time after the third business day following STT Communications’ and Pihana’s receipt of written notice from Parent advising STT Communications and Pihana that the board of directors of Parent has received a Superior Proposal which it intends to accept, specifying the material terms and conditions of such Superior Proposal, identifying the person making such Superior Proposal, but only if Parent shall have negotiated in good faith with STT Communications and Pihana to proceed with the transactions contemplated herein on adjusted terms that return at least equivalent value to Parent’s stockholders and debt holders as the Superior Proposal; provided, however, if Parent, STT Communications and Pihana are unable to agree to an acceptable adjustment within such three (3) business day period, Parent shall have no further obligation to negotiate such adjustment.
 
(ii)    withdraw or modify its approval or recommendation in favor of the approval of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated herein if Parent’s board of directors concludes in good faith, after consultation with its outside counsel, that the withdrawal or modification of such recommendation is consistent with Parent’s board of directors’ fiduciary duties (including its duty of candor) to the Parent Stockholders.
 
(c)    No amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement will be made by any Party without the approval of the other party (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Each Party will advise the other Parties, promptly after it receives notice thereof, of the time the SEC has issued formal comments to the Proxy Statement, of the time at which the Proxy Statement has been cleared for mailing or any supplement or amendment has been filed, of the issuance of any stop order with the Proxy Statement or of any request by the SEC for amendment of the Proxy Statement or comments thereon and responses thereto or requests by the SEC for additional information.
 
(d)    The information supplied by any Party for inclusion in the Proxy Statement shall not, at (i) any time the Proxy Statement is mailed to the stockholders of Parent, and (ii) the time of the Parent Stockholders’ Meeting, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or fail to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. If, at any time prior to the Effective Time, any event or circumstance relating to any Party, or its respective officers or directors, that should be set forth in an amendment or a supplement to the Proxy Statement is discovered by any Party, such Party shall promptly inform each other Party. All documents that Parent is responsible for filing with the SEC in connection with the Combination or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement will comply as to form and substance in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act.

If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim, it will conduct the defense actively, diligently and at its own expense, and it will hold all Indemnified Parties harmless from and against all Losses caused by or arising out of any settlement thereof. The Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in such defense and make available to the Indemnifying Party, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, all witnesses (but no amount shall be included for internal costs), pertinent records, materials and information in the Indemnified Party’s possession or under the Indemnified Party’s control relating thereto as is reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party.

release from all liability with respect to such suit, claim, action, or proceeding; (ii) unless there is no finding or admission of (A) any violation of Law by the Indemnified Party (or any affiliate thereof), (B) any liability on the part of the Indemnified Party (or any affiliate thereof) or (C) any violation of the rights of any person and no effect on any other claims of a similar nature that may be made by the same third party against the Indemnified Party (or any affiliate thereof); or (iii) which exceeds the then current Indemnity Stock Price of the Pihana Escrow Shares remaining in the Escrow Fund or the i-STT Escrow Shares, as applicable.
 
(iii)    In the event that the Indemnifying Party fails or elects not to assume the defense of an Indemnified Party against such Third Party Claim which the Indemnifying Party had the right to assume pursuant to Section 9.05(b)(ii), the Indemnified Party shall have the right, at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, to defend or prosecute such claim in any manner as it may reasonably deem appropriate and may settle such claim after giving written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party, on such terms as such Indemnified Party may deem appropriate, and the Indemnified Party may seek prompt reimbursement from the Escrow Fund, Parent or STT Communications, as the case may be, for any Losses incurred in connection with such settlement. If no settlement of such Third Party Claim is made, the Indemnified Party may seek prompt reimbursement from the Escrow Fund, Parent or STT Communications, as the case may be, for any Losses arising out of any judgment rendered with respect to such claim. Any Losses for which an Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification hereunder shall be promptly paid as suffered or incurred and invoiced. If the Indemnifying Party does not elect to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim which it has the right to assume hereunder, the Indemnified Party shall have no obligation to do so.
 
(iv)    In the event that the Indemnifying Party is not entitled to assume the defense of the Indemnified Party against such Third Party Claim pursuant to Section 9.05(b)(ii), the Indemnified Party shall have the right, at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, to defend or prosecute such claim and consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim in any manner it may reasonably deem appropriate after giving written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party, and the Indemnified Party may seek prompt reimbursement from the Escrow Fund, Parent or STT Communications, as the case may be, for any Losses incurred in connection with such judgment or settlement. In such case, the Indemnified Party shall conduct the defense of the Third Party Claim actively and diligently, and the Indemnifying Party shall cooperate with the Indemnified Party in such defense and make available to the Indemnified Party, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, all such witnesses, records, materials and information in the Indemnifying Party’s possession or under the Indemnifying Party’s control relating thereto as is reasonably requested by the Indemnified Party. If no settlement of such Third Party Claim is made, the Indemnified Party may seek prompt reimbursement from the Escrow Fund, Parent or STT Communications, as the case may be, for any Losses arising out of any judgment rendered with respect to such claim. Any Losses for which an Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification hereunder shall be promptly paid as suffered or incurred and invoiced.
 
(c)    Mechanics of Indemnity.    All claims for indemnity under this Article IX, other than claims by Parent against the Escrow Fund which claims shall be made in accordance with Section 9.05(d) below, shall be made in accordance with the provisions of this Section 9.05(c).
 
(i)    At any time on or prior to the R&W Termination Date (except with respect to any i-STT Loss resulting from the events described in Section 9.03(a)(iv) or any Parent Loss resulting from a breach of the representation contained in Section 4.33, which may be recovered in full at any time after the Closing), an Indemnified Party may deliver to Parent or STT Communications, as the case may be, a certificate executed by such Indemnified Party or an authorized officer of such Indemnified Party (an “Indemnity Certificate”), which Indemnity Certificate shall:
 
(A)    state that such Indemnified Party has suffered, incurred or paid a Loss for which it is entitled to indemnification, compensation or reimbursement under this Article IX of this Agreement (an “Indemnity Claim”);

84


 
(B)    state the aggregate amount of such Indemnity Claim (the “Indemnity Amount”); and
 
(C)    specify in reasonable detail the nature and amount of each individual Indemnity Claim to the extent then known or a good faith estimate of such amount.
 
(ii)    If the Indemnifying Party shall object to any amount claimed in connection with any Indemnity Claim specified in any Indemnity Certificate, the Indemnifying Party shall, within 15 business days after delivery by the Indemnified Party to the Indemnifying Party of such Indemnity Certificate (the “Response Period”), deliver to the Indemnified Party a certificate, executed by the Indemnifying Party (an “Objection Certificate”), which shall specify in reasonable detail (i) each such amount to which the Indemnifying Party objects and (ii) the nature and basis for each such objection.
 
(iii)    If the Indemnified Party shall not have received an Objection Certificate objecting to the amount claimed with respect to an Indemnity Claim prior to the expiration of the applicable Response Period, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have agreed to the Indemnity Certificate and to have acknowledged the correctness of the Indemnity Amount claimed with respect to such Indemnity Claim, or if the Indemnified Party shall have received an Objection Certificate pursuant to Section 9.05(c)(iv) below prior to the expiration of the Response Period with respect to an Indemnity Claim as to which any portion of the Indemnity Amount claimed is not objected to, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have agreed to that portion of the Indemnity Certificate and to have acknowledged the correctness of that portion of the Indemnity Amount claimed as to which no objection is raised in the Objection Certificate, and, in either case, the Indemnifying Party shall (i) with respect to STT Communications, promptly thereafter forward to the Transfer Agent for further transfer out of the i-STT Escrow Shares or (ii) with respect to Parent, direct the Transfer Agent to issue to the Indemnified Party such number of shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the lesser of (x) the Indemnity Amount (or the portion of the Indemnity Amount not objected to in an Objection Certificate) divided by the Indemnity Stock Price and (y) the number of shares of Parent Common Stock then remaining in the Maximum i-STT Liability or Maximum Parent Liability, as the case may be, with respect to such Indemnified Party.
 
(iv)    If the Indemnified Party shall have received within the applicable Response Period an Objection Certificate contesting the amount claimed with respect to any Indemnity Claim specified in the Indemnify Certificate (a “Contested Claim”), the amount so contested (the “Contested Amount”) shall not be paid by the Indemnifying Party, except in accordance with any of the following:
 
(A)    written agreement executed by the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, or
 
(B)    if the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party are unable to resolve any such Contested Claim within 60 days after delivery of the Objection Certificate, the settlement of such Contested Claim by a binding arbitration proceeding which shall take place in accordance with Section 10.09 hereof.
 
(v)    After (i) the execution of a written agreement pursuant to Section 9.05(c)(iv)(a) of this Agreement, or (ii) the final arbitration decision pursuant to Section 9.05(c)(iv)(b) of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall (x) if STT Communications, promptly forward to, and (y) if Parent, promptly provide instructions to, the Transfer Agent as soon as administratively practicable for further transfer or issuance, as the case may be, to the Indemnified Party such number of shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the lesser of (x) that number of shares of Parent Common Stock specified in such written agreement or arbitration decision, as the case may be (or, if not so specified in the written agreement, decision, award, settlement or arbitration decision, the number of shares of Parent Common Stock (or, with resect to STT Communications, Parent Preferred Stock on an as converted to Common Stock basis, equal to the dollar amount set forth in the written agreement or arbitration decision, as the case may be, divided by the Indemnity Stock Price) and (y) the number of shares of Common Stock then remaining in the Maximum i-STT Liability (assuming all shares of Parent Preferred Stock are converted to Parent Common Stock) or Maximum Parent Liability, as the case may be, with respect to such Indemnified Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the written agreement or final arbitration

85


 
decision relates to an i-STT Loss described in Section 9.03(a)(iv), STT Communications shall promptly remit to Parent the dollar amount specified in such written agreement or arbitration decision, as the case may be.
 
(vi)    Notwithstanding the limitations set forth in Section 9.05(c)(i) of this Agreement, following the Termination Date, the Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to assert claims against Parent, the Escrow Fund and/or STT Communications with respect to all Losses that were included in determining the Reserved Amount (as defined below). For purposes of this Agreement, the “Reserved Amount” shall be equal to the aggregate dollar value of all amounts claimed and unpaid in all Indemnify Certificates delivered to an Indemnifying Party prior to the R&W Termination Date which claims or amounts shall not have been resolved on or prior to the R&W Termination Date.
 
(vii)    If, on the R&W Termination Date, the Reserved Amount is less than the product of (x) the number of shares of Parent Common Stock then remaining in the Maximum i-STT Liability (as summary all shares of Parent Preferred Stockholder converted to Parent Common Stock) or Maximum Parent Liability, as the case may be, with respect to such Indemnified Party and (y) the Indemnity Stock Price, then promptly after the R&W Termination Date, Parent shall remove the legend described in Section 1B.04 with respect to such number of i-STT Escrow Shares (rounded up to the nearest whole share) equal to (A) the total number of remaining i-STT Escrow Shares minus (B) the quotient obtained by dividing the Reserved Amount by the Indemnity Stock Price, if any.
 
(d)    Parent Claims.    Claims by Parent against the Escrow Fund shall be made in accordance with the Escrow Agreement. STT Communications agrees to use reasonable good faith efforts to resolve any Contested Claims (as defined in the Escrow Agreement) with the Stockholders’ Representative as contemplated in the Escrow Agreement prior to the submission of any such matter to arbitration as contemplated in the Escrow Agreement, provided that, any such resolution shall be subject to Parent’s approval (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld).

(a)    Jane Dietze (such person and any successor or successors being the “Pihana Stockholders’ Representative”) shall act as the representative of Pihana Stockholders, and shall be authorized to act on behalf of Pihana Stockholders and to take any and all actions required or permitted to be taken by the Pihana Stockholders’ Representative under this Agreement with respect to any claims (including the settlement thereof) made by a Pihana Stockholder for indemnification pursuant to this Article IX and with respect to any actions to be taken by the Pihana Stockholders’ Representative pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement (including, without limitation, the exercise of the power to (i) authorize the delivery of Pihana Escrow Shares to a Pihana Stockholder in satisfaction of claims by a Pihana Stockholder, (ii) agree to, negotiate, enter into settlements and compromises of, and comply with orders of courts with respect to any claims for indemnification and (iii) take all actions necessary in the judgment of the Pihana Stockholders’ Representative for the accomplishment of the foregoing).

The Pihana’s Stockholders’ Representative shall not be required to take any action under this Agreement unless he, she or it has received undertakings from the Pihana Stockholders to reimburse any out-of-pocket costs or other expenses incurred by the Pihana Stockholders’ Representative in connection with his duties under this Agreement. Inaction on the part of the Stockholders’ Representative shall not effect the rights of STT Communications and Parent under this Agreement.

SECTION 10.03    Severability.    If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of Law or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, Parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.
 
SECTION 10.04    Assignment; Binding Effect; Benefit.    Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned by any of the Parties hereto (whether by operation of Law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the other Parties. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and assigns. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, is intended to confer on any person other than the Parties or their respective successors and assigns any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement.

94


 
SECTION 10.05    Incorporation of Exhibits.    The i-STT Disclosure Letter, the Pihana Disclosure Letter, the Parent Disclosure Letter, the Schedules and all Exhibits attached hereto and referred to herein are hereby incorporated herein and made a part hereof for all purposes as if fully set forth herein.
 
SECTION 10.06    Specific Performance.    The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event any provision of this Agreement was not performed in accordance with the terms hereof and that the Parties shall be entitled to specific performance of the terms hereof in addition to any other remedy at law or in equity. Nothing in this section shall entitle any Party to circumvent the requirement in Section 10.09 to first seek any such remedy through binding arbitration.
 
SECTION 10.07    Governing Law.    This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware applicable to contracts executed in and to be performed in that state without regard to any conflicts of laws.

(a)    Except as provided in Article II, all disputes, controversies or claims (whether in contract, tort or otherwise) arising out of, relating to or otherwise by virtue of, this Agreement, breach of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be finally settled under the Rules of Arbitration (except as set forth below) of the London Court of International Arbitration (as amended from time to time, the “LCIA Rules”).
 
(b)    The arbitration shall be seated in London, England, in the English language and shall be the exclusive forum for resolving such disputes, controversies or claims.

(d)    The arbitrator shall have practiced the field of law that is principally the subject of such dispute, controversy or claim in the State of Delaware for at least ten years.

Notwithstanding the LCIA Rules, no party shall have the right to seek a court order of interim or conservatory measures, other than a court order confirming and enforcing an arbitral award of interim or conservatory measures. The arbitrator may hear and rule on dispositive motions as part of the arbitration proceeding (e.g. motions for summary judgment on the pleadings, summary judgment and partial summary judgment).
 
(e)    All timetables and deadlines for the conduct of the arbitration shall be set in accordance with the rules as then interpreted and applicable in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware of and for the County of New Castle. The Arbitrator shall not have the power to abridge such time deadline requirements.
 
(f)    Discovery shall be permitted to the extent, and under the conditions, then in effect in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware of and for the County of New Castle. The arbitrator may appoint an expert only with the consent of all of the parties to the arbitration. Testimony of witnesses may be challenged to the extent, and under the conditions, then in effect in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware of and for the County of New Castle.

95


 
(g)    All deposits required under the LCIA Rules shall be paid equally by all parties to the arbitration. Each party shall to the arbitration shall pay its own costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, attorney’s fees) in connection with the arbitration.
 
(h)    The award rendered by the arbitrator shall be executory, final and binding on the parties. The award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered into any court having jurisdiction, or application may be made to such court for judicial acceptance of the award and an order of enforcement, as the case may be. Such court proceeding shall disclose only the minimum amount of information concerning the arbitration as is required to obtain such acceptance or order.

The parties acknowledge and agree that this Agreement has been reviewed, negotiated, and accepted by all parties and their attorneys and shall be construed and interpreted according to the ordinary meaning of the words used so as fairly to accomplish the purposes and intentions of all parties hereto.
 
(c)    As used in this Agreement, the words “include” and “including,” and variations thereof, shall not be deemed to be terms of limitation, but rather shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.”

2.    Dividends.    Subject to the rights of any shares of Preferred Stock that may from time to time come into existence, the holders of shares of Series A Stock shall be entitled to receive an amount equal to any dividend paid (other than dividends paid in Common Stock or other securities and rights convertible into or entitling the holder thereof to receive, directly or indirectly, additional shares of Common Stock of this Corporation) on the Common Stock of this Corporation (as determined on a per annum basis and on as a converted basis for the Series A Stock), payable when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors.
 
3.    Liquidation Preference.

(d)    Conversion Price Adjustments of Series A Stock for Splits, Stock Dividends, Combinations and the Like.    The Conversion Price of the Series A Stock shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:
 
(i)    In the event this Corporation should at any time or from time to time after this Certificate of Designation is accepted for filing by the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware fix a record date for the effectuation of a split or subdivision of the outstanding shares of Common Stock or the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in additional shares of Common Stock or other securities or rights convertible into, or entitling the holder thereof to receive directly or indirectly, additional shares of Common Stock (hereinafter referred to as “Common Stock Equivalents”) without payment of any consideration by such holder for the additional shares of Common Stock or the Common Stock Equivalents (including the additional shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exercise thereof), then, as of such record date (or the date of such dividend distribution, split or subdivision if no record date is fixed), the Conversion Price of the Series A Stock shall be appropriately decreased so that the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on conversion of each share of such series shall be increased in proportion to such increase of the aggregate of shares of Common Stock outstanding and those issuable with respect to such Common Stock Equivalents.
 
(ii)    If the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any time after the date of issuance of the Series A Stock is decreased by a combination of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, then, following the record date of such combination, the Conversion Price for the Series A Stock shall be appropriately increased so that the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on conversion of each share of such series shall be decreased in proportion to such decrease in outstanding shares.
 
(e)    Other Distributions.    In the event this Corporation shall declare a distribution payable in securities of other persons, evidences of indebtedness issued by this Corporation or other persons, assets (excluding cash dividends) or other options or rights not referred to in subsection 5(d)(i), then, in each such case for the purpose of this Subsection 5(e), the holders of the Series A Stock shall be entitled to a proportionate share of any such distribution as though they were the holders of the number of shares of Common Stock of this Corporation into which their shares of Series A Stock are convertible as of the record date fixed for the determination of the holders of Common Stock of this Corporation entitled to receive such distribution.
 
(f)    Recapitalizations.    If at any time or from time to time there shall be a recapitalization of the Common Stock (other than a subdivision, combination or merger or sale of assets transaction provided for elsewhere in this Section 5) provision shall be made so that the holders of the Series A Stock shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon conversion of the Series A Stock the number of shares of stock or other securities or property of this Corporation or otherwise, to which a holder of Common Stock deliverable upon conversion would have been entitled on such recapitalization. In any such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Section 5 with respect to the rights of the holders of the Series A Stock after the recapitalization to the end that the provisions of this Section 5 (including adjustment of the Conversion Price then in effect and the number of shares purchasable upon conversion of the Series A Stock) shall be applicable after that event as nearly equivalent as may be practicable.
 
(g)    No Fractional Shares and Certificate as to Adjustments.
 
(i)    No fractional shares shall be issued upon the conversion of any share or shares of the Series A Stock, and the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued shall be rounded down to the nearest whole share. This Corporation shall provide the holder of any fractional interest with an amount of cash equal to the fair market value of one share of this Corporation’s Common Stock multiplied by such fractional interest. Whether or not fractional shares are issuable upon such conversion shall be determined on the basis of the total number of shares of Series A Stock the holder is at the time converting into Common Stock and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such aggregate conversion.

6


 
(ii)    Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Price of Series A Stock pursuant to this Section 5, this Corporation, at its expense, shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and prepare and furnish to each holder of Series A Stock a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. This Corporation shall, upon the written request at any time of any holder of Series A Stock, furnish or cause to be furnished to such holder a like certificate setting forth (A) such adjustment and readjustment, (B) the Conversion Price for the Series A Stock at the time in effect, and (C) the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other property that at the time would be received upon the conversion of a share of Series A Stock to Common Stock.

(i)    Reservation of Stock Issuable Upon Conversion.    This Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock and Series A Preferred Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the shares of the Series A Stock, such number of its shares of Common Stock or Series A Preferred Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding shares of the Series A Stock; and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock or Series A Preferred Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all then outstanding shares of the Series A Stock, in addition to such other remedies as shall be available to the holder of such Series A Stock, this 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 or Series A Preferred Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes, including, without limitation, engaging in best efforts to obtain the requisite shareholder approval of any necessary amendment to this Certificate of Designation or the Restated Certificate of Incorporation.

7.    Voting for the Election of Directors.

Preferred Stock shall be entitled to elect a number of directors of this Corporation at any election of directors (each, a “Series A Director”), as follows:

(b)    For purposes of determining shares beneficially owned pursuant to Section 7(a) hereof, “beneficial ownership” shall be as defined in Rule 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, provided, that in determining such beneficial ownership it shall not matter whether or not the right to acquire such beneficial ownership is within 60 days and whether or not a contract, arrangement or understanding to acquire beneficial ownership is subject to Conversion Conditions or other contingencies.
 
(c)    Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 223(a)(1) and 223(a)(2) of the General Corporation Law, any vacancy in the seats reserved for Series A Directors, and vacancies created by removal or resignation of a Series A Director, may be filled by a majority of all 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 the holders of Series A Preferred Stock may override the Board’s action to fill such vacancy by (i) voting for their own designee to fill such vacancy at a meeting of the Company’s stockholders or (ii) written consent, if the consenting stockholders hold a sufficient number of shares to elect their designee(s) at a meeting of the stockholders. Any director elected as provided in the immediately preceding sentence hereof may be removed during the aforesaid term of office, either with or without cause, by, and only by, the affirmative vote of the holders of Series A Preferred Stock, given either at a special meeting of such stockholders duly called for that purpose or pursuant to a written consent of such stockholders, and any vacancy thereby created may be filled in accordance with this Section 7(a).
 
(d)    Notwithstanding the prohibition in Article VII of this Corporation’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation and the Corporation’s Bylaws regarding actions of the stockholders taken by written consent, and consistent with Section 7(a) above, the holders of Series A Preferred Stock may act by written consent to, and only to, (i) elect any Series A Director, (ii) remove any Series A Director or (iii) override the Board’s appointment of any such Series A Director to fill a vacancy.

STT

4


Communications may designate as purchasers under such right itself or its partners, members, subsidiaries or assignees in such proportions as it deems appropriate. Each time Parent proposes to offer any Securities, except for (i) Securities issued pursuant to an Excluded Conversion Adjustment (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement under which the Notes were issued), or (ii) Securities issued pursuant to a Registration Statement (a “Registered Offering”), Parent shall first make an offering of such Securities to STT Communications in accordance with the following provisions:
 
(a)    Parent shall deliver a notice (“Notice”) to STT Communications stating (i) its bona fide intention to offer such Securities, (ii) the number of such Securities to be offered, and (iii) the price and terms, if any, upon which it proposes to offer such Securities.
 
(b)    Within 15 days after receipt of the Notice, STT Communications may elect to purchase or obtain, at the price and on the terms specified in the Notice, up to that portion of such Securities which equals the proportion that the number of Securities held by STT Communications bears to the total number of Securities then outstanding (the “STT Communications Pro Rata Shares”).
 
(c)    Parent may, during the 45-day period following the expiration of the period provided in subsection 3.1(b) hereof, offer the remaining unsubscribed portion of the Securities to any person or persons at a price not less than, and upon terms no more favorable to the offeree than those specified in the Notice. If Parent does not enter into an agreement for the sale of the Securities within such period, or if such agreement is not consummated within 60 days of the execution thereof, the right provided hereunder shall be deemed to be revived and such Securities shall not be offered unless first reoffered to STT Communications in accordance herewith.
 
3.2.    Registered Offerings.    Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, in connection with a Registered Offering of Securities by Parent, Parent shall first make an offering of such Securities to STT Communications in accordance with the following provisions:

(c)    Parent shall notify STT Communications one (1) business day prior to the anticipated occurrence of the following events: (i) the anticipated pricing call at which the underwriters of the offering and Parent decide the final offering price (the “Pricing Call), or (ii) if not an underwritten offering, at such time when Parent will set the final price for its offering (the Parent Pricing).
 
(d)    Within one (1) hour after the Pricing Call or the Parent Pricing, Parent shall notify STT Communications of the final price and number of shares to be sold (including any over allotments) and STT Communications shall have one (1) hour to deliver to Parent written notice of the number of shares it intends to purchase in the Registered Offering up to the STT Communications Pro Rata Share, including any shares of any over allotment that it elects to purchase, if exercised (the STT Communications Notice). The STT Communications Notice shall be evidence of STT Communications’ obligation to purchase that number of shares indicated in such STT Communications Notice. STT Communications’ failure to timely deliver the STT Communications Notice shall relieve Parent from any obligations under this Section 3.2 with respect to the Registered Offering.

ARTICLE 4
 
REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT
 
4.1.    Demand Registration.
 
(a)    Parent shall prepare and file with the SEC, not later than the 90th day following the Closing Date, a Registration Statement covering the resale of all Registrable Securities, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective on or prior to the 180th day following the Closing Date and to remain effective until all Registrable Securities have been sold.
 
(b)    If the holders of a majority of Registrable Securities intend to distribute Registrable Securities by means of an underwriting, they shall so advise Parent. The underwriter will be selected by Parent, subject to the consent of a majority in interest of the Holders (which will not be unreasonably withheld). In such event, the right of any Holder to include its Registrable Securities in such registration shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting (unless otherwise mutually agreed by a majority in interest of the Holders and such Holder) to the extent provided in this Article 4. All Holders proposing to distribute Registrable Securities through such underwriting shall (together with Parent as provided in Section 4.4(e)) enter into an underwriting agreement in the form requested by the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 4.1, if the underwriter advises the Holders in writing that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten, then the number of shares of Registrable Securities that may be included in the underwriting shall be allocated among the Holders in proportion (as nearly as practicable) to the amount of Registrable Securities owned by each Holder.
 
(c)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent shall have the right to defer the filing of the Registration Statement under this Section 2.1, or suspend the use of the related prospectus, during a Black-Out Period occurring after receipt of the request of the Initiating Note Holders; provided that Parent may not utilize such deferral or suspension right more than once in any six-month period.
 
(d)    All expenses (other than underwriting discounts and commissions) incurred in connection with registration pursuant to Section 4.1, including all registration, filing and qualification fees, printers’ and accounting fees, fees and disbursements of counsel for Parent and the reasonable fees and disbursements of one counsel for the selling Holders (not to exceed $50,000 per registration or underwriting) selected by the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities included in the offering shall be borne by Parent regardless of whether such Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC.
 
4.2.    Parent Registration.
 
(a)    If (but without any obligation to do so) Parent proposes to register (including for this purpose a registration effected by Parent for stockholders other than the Holders) any of its stock or other securities under the Securities Act in connection with the public offering of such securities (other than a registration relating solely to the sale of securities to participants in a Parent stock plan, a registration with respect to any transaction within the scope of Rule 145 or a registration in which the only Common Stock being registered is Common Stock issuable upon conversion of debt securities), Parent shall give each Holder thirty days prior written notice of such registration. Upon the written request of each Holder given within fifteen days after receipt of such notice by Parent in accordance with Section 5.7, Parent shall, subject to the provisions of Section 4.2(c), use commercially reasonable efforts to cause all of the Registrable Securities that each such Holder has requested to be registered to be so registered under the Securities Act.
 
(b)    Parent shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under this Section 4.2 prior to the effectiveness of such registration whether or not any Holder has elected to include securities in such registration.

6


 
(c)    All expenses (other than underwriting discounts and commissions related to the Registrable Securities) incurred, in connection with any registration, pursuant to this Section 4.2, including all registration, filing, and qualification fees, printers and accounting fees, fees and disbursements of counsel for Parent and the fees and disbursements of one counsel for the selling Holders (not to exceed $50,000 per registration) selected by the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities included in the offering shall be borne by Parent regardless of whether such Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC.
 
(d)    In connection with any offering involving an underwriting of shares of Parent’s capital stock, Parent shall not be required under this Section 2.2 to include any of the Registrable Securities in such underwriting unless the Holders thereof accept the terms of the underwriting as agreed upon between Parent and the underwriters selected by it (or by other persons entitled to select the underwriters), and then only in such quantity as the underwriters determine in their sole discretion will not, jeopardize the success of the offering by Parent. If the total amount of securities, including Registrable Securities, requested by stockholders to be included in such offering exceeds the amount of securities sold other than by Parent that the underwriters determine in their sole discretion is compatible with the success of the offering, then Parent 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 stockholders according to the total amount of securities entitled to be included therein owned by each selling stockholder or in such other proportions as shall mutually be agreed to by such selling stockholders) but in no event shall the amount of securities of the selling Holders of Registrable Securities included in the offering be reduced below thirty percent of the total amount of securities included in such offering. For purposes of the preceding parenthetical concerning apportionment, for any selling stockholder which is a Holder of Registrable Securities and which is a partnership or corporation, the partners, retired partners and stockholders of such Holder, or the estates and family members of any such partners and retired partners and any trusts for the benefit of any of the foregoing persons shall be deemed to be a single “selling stockholder,” and any pro-rata reduction with respect to such “selling stockholder” shall be based upon the aggregate amount of Registrable Securities owned by all entities and individuals included in such “selling stockholder,” as defined in this sentence.
 
4.3.    Form S-3 Registration.
 
(a)    Beginning 180 days following the Closing if at any time or from time to time Parent shall receive a written request or requests from any Holder that Parent effect a registration on Form S-3, or, if Parent is not then eligible for a registration on Form S-3, on Form S-1 related to a Rule 415 offering, with respect to all or a part of the Registrable Securities owned by such Holder, Parent will:
 
(i)    promptly give written notice of the proposed registration, and any related qualification or compliance, to all other Holders; and
 
(ii)    as soon as practicable, effect such registration and all such qualifications and compliances as may be so requested and as would permit or facilitate the sale and distribution of all or such portion of such Holder’s or Holders’ Registrable Securities as are specified in such request, together with all or such portion of the Registrable Securities of any other Holder or Holders joining in such request as are specified in a written request given within fifteen days after receipt of such written notice from Parent; provided, however, that Parent shall not be obligated to effect any such registration, qualification or compliance, pursuant to this Section 4.3: (A) if the Holders, together with the holders of any other securities of Parent entitled to inclusion in such registration, propose to sell Registrable Securities and such other securities (if any) at an aggregate price to the public (net of any underwriters’ discounts or commissions) of less than $250,000 (an Insufficient Amount); or (B) during a Black-Out Period. Parent shall have the right, in the case of an Insufficient Amount or Black-Out Period, to (x) defer the filing of the Form S-3 (or Form S-1) Registration Statement for a period of not more than sixty days, in the case of an Insufficient Amount, or the duration of the Black-Out Period, whichever is shorter, after receipt of the request of the Holder or Holders under this Section 2.3 or (y) suspend the use of the

7


 
related prospectus for the Black-Out Period; provided further that Parent shall not utilize its deferral or suspension rights based on a Black-Out Period more than once in any six-month period; or (C) in any particular jurisdiction in which Parent would be required to qualify to do business or to execute a general consent to service of process in effecting such registration, qualification or compliance; and
 
(iii)    keep such Registration Statement effective for the shorter of 18 months or until the distribution contemplated in the Registration Statement has been completed; provided, however, that such 18-month period shall be extended for a period of time equal to (A) the period in which any Holder refrains from selling any securities included in such Registration Statement at the request of an underwriter of Common Stock (or other securities of Parent); (B) the period in which any Holder refrains from selling any securities included in such Registration Statement at the request of Parent to permit Parent to amend such Registration Statement; (C) the duration of a Black-Out Period during which the use of a prospectus was suspended or sales of Registrable Securities by a Selling Holder were not permitted and (D) the periods for which effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been suspended as permitted by this Agreement.
 
(b)    If a Holder or Holders requests that a Parent registration under Section 4.3(a) be made for an offering on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act on Form S-3 (or Form S-1), Parent shall (i) register the Registrable Securities of such Holder or Holders, as the case may be, on a continuous basis and (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to keep such Registration Statement effective for 18 months or until all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement have been sold.
 
(c)    All expenses (other than underwriters’ discounts or commissions associated with Registrable Securities) incurred in connection with a registration requested pursuant to this Section 4.3, including all registration, filing and qualification fees, printer’s and accounting fees, fees and disbursements of counsel for Parent and the reasonable fees and disbursements of one counsel for the selling Holder or Holders (not to exceed $50,000 per registration) and counsel for Parent, shall be borne by Parent regardless of whether such Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC. Registrations effected pursuant to this Section 4.3 shall not be counted as demands for registration pursuant to Section 4.1.
 
4.4.    Obligations of Parent.    Whenever required under this Article 4 to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities, Parent shall, as expeditiously as reasonably possible:
 
(a)    Registration Statement.    Prepare and file with the SEC a Registration Statement with respect to such Registrable Securities and use its best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective.
 
(b)    Amendments.    Prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection with such 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 such Registration Statement.
 
(c)    Prospectuses.    Furnish to the selling Holders such numbers of copies of a prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents as they may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of Registrable Securities owned by them.
 
(d)    Blue Sky.    Use its best efforts to register and qualify the securities covered by such Registration Statement under such other securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as shall be reasonably requested by the Holders; provided that Parent 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, unless Parent is already subject to service in such jurisdiction and except as may be required by the Securities Act.
 
(e)    Underwriting Agreement.    If an offering is an underwritten public offering, enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement requested by the managing underwriter of such offering. Each Holder participating in such underwriting shall also enter into and perform its obligations under such an agreement.

8


 
(f)    Notice of Misstatement or Omission.    Notify each Holder 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 in the light of the circumstances then existing.
 
(g)    Listing or Quotation.    Cause all such Registrable Securities registered pursuant to this Agreement to be listed on each securities exchange on which similar securities issued by Parent are then listed.
 
(h)    Transfer Agent: CUSIP.    Provide a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable Securities registered pursuant hereunder and a CUSIP number for all such Registrable Securities, in each case not later than the effective date of such registration.
 
(i)    Legal Opinion.    Use commercially reasonable efforts to furnish, at the request of any Holder requesting registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Article 4, on the date that such Registrable Securities are delivered to the underwriters for sale in connection with a registration pursuant to this Article 4, if such securities are being sold through underwriters, or, if such securities are not being sold through underwriters, on the date that the Registration Statement with respect to such securities becomes effective, (i) an opinion, dated such date, of the counsel for Parent, in form and substance as is customarily requested by the underwriters in an underwritten public offering, addressed to the underwriters, if any, and to the Holders requesting registration of Registrable Securities and (ii) a letter dated such date, from the independent certified public accountants of Parent and any acquired 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, if any, and to the Holders requesting registration of Registrable Securities.
 
4.5.    Obligations of Holders.
 
(a)    It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of Parent to take any action pursuant to this Article 4 with respect to the Registrable Securities of any selling Holder that such Holder shall furnish to Parent such information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it, and the intended method of disposition of such securities as shall be required to effect the registration of such Holder’s Registrable Securities.
 
(b)    Parent shall have no obligation with respect to any registration requested pursuant to Section 4.3 if the number of shares or the anticipated aggregate offering price of the Registrable Securities to be included in the registration does not equal or exceed the number of shares or the anticipated aggregate offering price required to originally trigger Parent’s obligation to initiate such registration as specified in Section 4.3(a).
 
4.6.    Assignment of Registration Rights.    The rights to cause Parent to register Registrable Securities pursuant to this Article 4 may be assigned (but only with all related obligations) by a Holder to a transferee or assignee of such securities provided: (a) Parent is 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; (b) such transferee or assignee agrees in writing to be bound by and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement; and (c) such assignment shall be effective only if immediately following such transfer the further disposition of such securities by the transferee or assignee is restricted under the Securities Act.
 
4.7.    Limitations on Subsequent Registration Rights.    Unless unanimously approved by the Parent board of directors, from and after the date of this Agreement, Parent shall not, without the prior written consent of the Holders of a majority of the then-outstanding Registrable Securities, enter into any new agreement with any holder or prospective holder of any securities of Parent which would allow such holder or prospective holder (a) to include such securities in any registration filed under Section 4.1, unless under the terms of such agreement,

9


such holder or prospective holder may include such securities in any such registration only to the extent that the inclusion of such holder’s prospective holder’s securities will not reduce the amount of the Registrable Securities of the Holders that is included or (b) to make a demand registration which could result in such Registration Statement being declared effective prior to the date of the first demand registration pursuant to Section 4.1(a) or within 120 days of the effective date of any registration effected pursuant to Section 4.1.
 
4.8.    Indemnification by Parent.    Parent agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Holder of Registrable Securities to be included in any Registration Statement, the officers and directors of each such Person, and each Person, if any, who controls any such Holder within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (each, a “Participant), from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including the reasonable legal fees and other reasonable expenses actually incurred in connection with any suit, action, proceeding, investigation or any claim asserted or threatened) caused by, arising out of or based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement or Prospectus (as amended or supplemented if Parent shall have furnished any amendments or supplements thereto) or caused by, arising out of or based upon any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, except insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities are caused by any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with information relating to any Participant furnished to Parent in writing by or on behalf of such Participant expressly for use therein; provided, however, that Parent shall not be liable if such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission was contained or made in any preliminary prospectus and corrected in the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto and the Prospectus does not contain any other untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission of a material fact that was the subject matter of the related proceeding and any such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense suffered or incurred by the Participants resulted from any action, claim or suit by any Person who purchased Registrable Securities that are the subject thereof from such Participant and it is established in the related proceeding that such Participant had been provided with such Prospectus and failed to deliver or provide a copy of the Prospectus (as amended or supplemented) to such Person with or prior to the confirmation of the sale of such Registrable Securities sold to such Person unless such failure to deliver or provide a copy of the Prospectus (as amended or supplemented) was a result of noncompliance by Parent with this Agreement.
 
4.9.    Several Indemnification by Participants.    Each Participant agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless Parent, each other Participant, its directors and officers and each Person who controls Parent and each other Participant within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including the reasonable legal fees and other reasonable expenses actually incurred in connection with any suit, action, proceeding, investigation or any claim asserted or threatened) caused by, arising out of or based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement or Prospectus (as amended or supplemented if Parent shall have furnished any amendments or supplements thereto) or caused by, arising out of or based upon any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, only insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities are caused by any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with information relating to any Participant furnished to Parent in writing by or on behalf of such Participant expressly for use therein; provided, however, that a Participant shall not be liable if such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission was contained or made in any preliminary prospectus and corrected in the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto and the Prospectus does not contain any other untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission of a material fact that was the subject matter of the related proceeding and any such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense suffered or incurred by Parent or any other Participant resulted from any action, claim or suit by any Person who purchased Registrable Securities that are the subject thereof from such other Participant and it is established in the related proceeding that Parent or such other Participant, as applicable, had been provided with such Prospectus and failed to deliver or provide a

10


copy of the Prospectus (as amended or supplemented) to such Person with or prior to the confirmation of the sale of such Registrable Securities sold to such Person unless such failure to deliver or provide a copy of the Prospectus (as amended or supplemented) was a result of noncompliance by such Participant with this Agreement. No Participant shall be liable under this Article 4 for any amounts in excess of such Participant’s proceeds from the sale of such Participant’s Registrable Securities.
 
4.10.    Indemnification Procedures.
 
(a)    If any suit, action, proceeding (including any governmental or regulatory investigation), claim or demand shall be brought or asserted against any Person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to either of the two preceding paragraphs, such Person (the “Indemnified Person”) shall promptly notify the Person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the “Indemnifying Person”) in writing, and the Indemnifying Person, upon request of the Indemnified Person, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person to represent the Indemnified Person and any others the Indemnifying Person may reasonably designate in such proceeding and shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses actually incurred by such counsel related to such proceeding; provided, however, that the failure to so notify the Indemnifying Person shall not relieve it of any obligation or liability which it may have hereunder or otherwise, except to the extent of any prejudice caused by such delay. In any such proceeding, any Indemnified Person shall have the right to retain its own counsel if it would be a conflict of interest for the Indemnified Person and the Indemnifying Person to be represented by the same counsel, but the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Person unless (a) the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person shall have mutually agreed in writing to the contrary, (b) the Indemnifying Person has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person or (c) the named parties in any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person and there are one or more defenses available to the Indemnified Person that are not available to the Indemnifying Person. It is understood that the Indemnifying Person shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceeding in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all Indemnified Persons, and that all such reasonable fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. Any such separate firm for the Participants and such control Persons of Participants shall be designated in writing by Participants who sold a majority in interest of Registrable Securities sold by all such Participants and any such separate firm for Parent, its directors, officers and control Persons of Parent shall be designated in writing by Parent. The Indemnifying Person shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), but if settled with such consent or if there is a final non-appealable judgment for the plaintiff, the Indemnifying Person agrees to indemnify any Indemnified Person from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. No Indemnifying Person shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Person, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Person is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person, unless such settlement (y) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person, in form and substance satisfactory to such Indemnified Person, from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding and (z) does not include any statement as to an admission of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of an Indemnified Person.
 
4.11.    Contribution.
 
(a)    If the indemnification provided for in the preceding sections of this Article 4 is unavailable to, or insufficient to hold harmless, an Indemnified Person in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then each Indemnifying Person under such paragraphs, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Person thereunder and in order to provide for just and equitable contribution, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Person or Persons on the one hand and the Indemnified Person or Persons on the other in connection with the

11


 
statements or omissions (or alleged statements or omissions) that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the parties shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Indemnifying Person on the one hand or by the Indemnified Person, as the case may be, on the other, the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission and any other equitable considerations appropriate under the circumstances.
 
(b)    The parties agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Article 4 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Participants were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Person as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any reasonable legal or other expenses actually incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with investigating or defending any such suit, action, proceeding or investigation or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article 4, in no event shall a Participant be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which proceeds received by such Participant from sales of Registrable Securities exceeds the amount of any damages that such Participant 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 of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
 
4.12.    Additional Remedies.    The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Article 4 will be in addition to any liability which the Indemnifying Persons may otherwise have to the Indemnified Persons referred to above.
 
ARTICLE 5
 
MISCELLANEOUS
 
5.1.    Rule 144.    Parent covenants that it will file the reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations adopted by the SEC thereunder in a timely manner and, if at any time it is not required to file such reports, it will, upon the request of any Holder of Registrable Securities, make available other information so long as necessary to permit sales pursuant to Rule 144.
 
5.2.    Legend.    Upon the execution of this Agreement, the certificates representing all Common Stock and Series A Preferred Stock held by the Stockholders shall be endorsed with the following legend:
 
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS WITH RESPECT TO VOTING AND OTHER MATTERS UNDER A GOVERNANCE AGREEMENT, DATED AS OF             , 200_, BY AND AMONG EQUINIX, INC. AND CERTAIN OF ITS STOCKHOLDERS.
 
In the event that any Stockholder sells, transfers or otherwise disposes of Shares, the foregoing legend shall, at the request of the holder, be removed from the certificates representing the Shares so sold, transferred or disposed of, provided that the sale, transfer or disposition is effected subject to the adjustment or termination of the board representation rights of the Stockholders pursuant to Article 2 hereof as a result of such sales, transfers or dispositions.
 
5.3.    Remedies.    If Parent breaches of any of its obligations under this Agreement, each Holder of Registrable Securities, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein, or granted by law, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Agreement. Parent agrees that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach

12


by it of any of the provisions of this Agreement and hereby further agrees that, in the event of any action for specific performance in respect of such breach, it shall waive the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.
 
5.4.    No Inconsistent Agreements.    Parent has not entered, as of the date hereof, into any agreement with respect to any of its securities that is inconsistent with, diminishes, or other limits the rights granted to the Holders of Registrable Securities in this Agreement or otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof.
 
5.5.    Adjustments Affecting Registrable Securities.    Parent shall not, directly or indirectly, take any action with respect to the Registrable Securities as a class distinct from other holders of Parent Capital Stock that would adversely affect the ability of the Holders of Registrable Securities to include such Registrable Securities in a registration undertaken pursuant to this Agreement.
 
5.6.    Amendments and Waivers.    Except as set forth in Section 3.3, the provisions of this Agreement may not be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given, otherwise than with the prior written consent of Parent, STT Communications and a majority in interest of the Pihana Stockholders.

EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT IS WAIVING ANY RIGHTS IT MAY HAVE TO TRIAL BY JURY.
 
(b)    The arbitration shall be seated in London, England, in the English language and shall be the exclusive forum for resolving such disputes, controversies or claims. The arbitrator shall have the power to order hearings and meetings to be held in such place or places as he or she deems in the interests of reducing the total cost to the parties of the arbitration.

14


 
(c)    The arbitration shall be held in before a single arbitrator. Each party to the arbitration shall submit a list of three proposed arbitrators, who each meet the criteria set forth in Section 5.12(d) within ten Business Days of service of the request for arbitration on the last respondent.

(d)    The arbitrator shall have practiced the field of law that is principally the subject of such dispute, controversy or claim in the State of Delaware for at least ten years. The arbitrator may be of the same nationality as any party. The arbitrator shall have the power to order equitable remedies and not just the payment of monies. Notwithstanding the LCIA Rules, no party shall have the right to seek a court order of interim or conservatory measures, other than a court order confirming and enforcing an arbitral award of interim or conservatory measures. The arbitrator may hear and rule on dispositive motions as part of the arbitration proceeding (e.g. motions for judgment on the pleadings, summary judgment and partial summary judgment).
 
(e)    All timetables and deadlines (and criteria for granting extensions and waivers thereof) for the conduct of the arbitration shall be set in accordance with the rules then interpreted and applied in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware of and for the County of New Castle. The Arbitrator shall not have the power to abridge such time requirements.
 
(f)    Discovery shall be permitted to the extent, and under the conditions, then in effect in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware of and for the County of New Castle. The arbitrator may appoint an expert only with the consent of all of the parties to the arbitration. Testimony of witnesses may be challenged to the extent, and under the conditions, then in effect in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware of and for the County of New Castle.
 
(g)    All deposits required under the LCIA Rules shall be paid equally by all parties to the arbitration. Each party shall to the arbitration shall pay its own costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, attorney’s fees) in connection with the arbitration.
 
(h)    The award rendered by the arbitrator shall be executory, final and binding on the parties. The award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered into any court having jurisdiction (including, the courts of the State of Delaware), or application may be made to such court for judicial acceptance of the award and an order of enforcement, as the case may be. Such court proceeding shall disclose only the minimum amount of information concerning the arbitration as is required to obtain such acceptance or order.
 
(i)    Except as required by law, no party to this Agreement nor the arbitrator may disclose the existence, content or results of an arbitration brought pursuant to this Agreement.
 
5.13.    Severability.    Any term or provision of this Agreement that is held to be invalid, void or unenforceable shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement. If any term or provision of this Agreement is determined by the arbitrator to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the parties agree that the arbitrator shall have the power to and shall, subject to the arbitrator’s discretion, reduce the scope, duration, area or applicability of the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace any invalid, void or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision.
 
5.14.    Registrable Securities Held by Parent or Its Affiliates.    Whenever the consent or approval of Holders of a specified percentage of Registrable Securities is required hereunder, Registrable Securities held by Parent or its affiliates (as such term is defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) shall not be counted in determining whether such consent or approval was given by the Holders of such required percentage.
 
5.15.    Third Party Beneficiaries.    All Persons who become Holders of Registrable Securities are intended third party beneficiaries of Articles 4 and 5 of this Agreement and such provisions may be enforced by such Persons.

15


 
5.16.    Entire Agreement.    This Agreement, together with the Combination Agreement and the Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of October 2, 2002, by and among Parent, the subsidiaries of Parent that from time to time become guarantors of Parent’s obligations thereunder, and the Purchasers named therein, is intended by the parties as a final and exclusive statement of the agreement and understanding of the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter contained herein and therein and any and all prior oral or written agreements, representations, or warranties, contracts, understandings, correspondence, conversations and memoranda between STT Communications, the Pihana Stockholders, the Equinix Stockholders or Parent, or between or among any agents, representatives, parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, predecessors in interest or successors in interest with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof are merged herein and replaced hereby.

To be timely, a stockholder’s notice shall be delivered to the Secretary of the Corporation at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not less than 45 or more than 75 days prior to the first anniversary (the “Anniversary”) of the date on which the Corporation first mailed its proxy materials for the preceding year’s annual meeting of stockholders; provided, however, that if no proxy materials were mailed by the Corporation in connection with the preceding year’s annual meeting, or if the date of the annual meeting is advanced more than 30 days prior to or delayed by more than 30 days after the anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so delivered not later than the close of business on the later of (x) the 90th day prior to such annual meeting or (y) the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made. Such stockholder’s notice shall set forth (a) as to each person whom the stockholder proposes to nominate for election or reelection as a director all information relating to such person as would be required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for the election of such nominees as directors pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and such person’s written consent to serve as a director if elected; (b) as to any other business that the stockholder proposes to bring before the meeting, a brief description of such business, the reasons for conducting such business at the meeting and any material interest in such business of such stockholder and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal is made; and (c) as to the stockholder giving the notice and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination or proposal is made (i) the name and address of such stockholder, as they appear on the Corporation’s books, and of such beneficial owner and (ii) the class and number of shares of the Corporation that are owned beneficially and of record by such stockholder and such beneficial owner.

The chair of the meeting shall have the power and the duty to determine whether a nomination or any business proposed to be brought before the meeting has been made in accordance with the procedures set forth in these Amended and Restated Bylaws and, if any proposed nomination or business is not in compliance with these Amended and Restated Bylaws, to declare that such defective proposed business or nomination shall not be presented for stockholder action at the meeting and shall be disregarded.

Subject to Article VII, 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 pursuant to the Corporation’s notice of meeting (1) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or (2) by any stockholder of record of the Corporation who is a stockholder of record at the time of giving of notice provided for in this paragraph, who shall be entitled to vote at the meeting and who complies with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 2.7. Subject to Article VII, nominations by stockholders of persons for election to the Board of Directors may be made at such a special meeting of stockholders if the stockholder’s notice required by paragraph (B) of this Section 2.7 shall be delivered to the Secretary of the Corporation at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than the close of business on the later of the 90th day prior to such special meeting or the 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.
 
F.    For purposes of this Section 2.7, “public announcement” shall mean disclosure in a press release reported by the Dow Jones News Service, Associated Press or a 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.
 
G.    Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.7, 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 2.7. Nothing in this Section 2.7 shall be deemed to affect any rights of stockholders to request inclusion of proposals in the Corporation’s proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act.
 
Section 2.8    Procedure for Election of Directors.    Election of directors at all meetings of the stockholders at which directors are to be elected shall be by written ballot or other means allowed by Delaware General Corporation Law, and, except as otherwise set forth in the Certificate of Incorporation with respect to the right of the holders of any series of preferred stock of the Corporation (the “Preferred Stock”) or any other series or class of stock to elect additional directors under specified circumstances, a plurality of the votes cast thereat shall elect directors. Except as otherwise provided by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Amended and Restated Bylaws, all matters other than the election of directors submitted to the stockholders at any meeting shall be decided by the affirmative vote of a majority of the voting power of the outstanding Voting Stock present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote thereon.
 
Section 2.9    Inspectors of Elections; Opening and Closing the Polls.
 
A.    The Board of Directors by resolution shall appoint one or more inspectors, which inspector or inspectors may include individuals who serve the Corporation in other capacities, including, without limitation, as officers, employees, agents or representatives of the Corporation, to act at the meeting and make a written report thereof. One or more persons may be designated as alternate inspectors to replace any inspector who fails to act. If no inspector or alternate has been appointed to act, or if all inspectors or alternates who have been appointed are unable to act, at a meeting of stockholders, the chairman of the meeting shall appoint one or more inspectors to act at the meeting. Each inspector, before discharging his or her duties, shall take and sign an oath faithfully to execute the duties of inspector with strict impartiality and

25


 
according to the best of his or her ability. The inspectors shall have the duties prescribed by the Delaware General Corporation Law.

ARTICLE VI
 
INDEMNIFICATION
 
Section 6.1    Right to Indemnification.    Each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (hereinafter a “proceeding”), by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan (hereinafter an “indemnitee”), whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent or in any other capacity while serving as a director, officer, employee or agent, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the fullest extent authorized by the Delaware General Corporation Law, 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 permitted prior thereto), against all expense, liability and loss (including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such indemnitee in connection therewith and such indemnification shall continue as to an indemnitee who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the indemnitee’s heirs, executors and administrators; provided, however, that, except as provided in Section 6.3 with respect to proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification, the Corporation shall indemnify any such indemnitee in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such indemnitee only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board of Directors of the Corporation.
 
Section 6.2    Right to Advancement of Expenses.    The right to indemnification conferred in Section 6.1 shall include, to the extent permitted by law, the right to be paid by the Corporation the expenses incurred in defending any proceeding for which such right to indemnification is applicable in advance of its final disposition (hereinafter an “advancement of expenses”); provided, however, that, if the Delaware General Corporation Law requires, an advancement of expenses incurred by an indemnitee in his or her capacity as a director or officer

29


(and not in any other capacity in which service was or is rendered by such indemnitee, including, without limitation, service to an employee benefit plan) shall be made only upon delivery to the Corporation of an undertaking (hereinafter an “undertaking”), by or on behalf of such indemnitee, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined by final judicial decision from which there is no further right to appeal (hereinafter a “final adjudication”) that such indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified for such expenses under this Section or otherwise.
 
Section 6.3    Right of Indemnitee to Bring Suit.    The rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses conferred in Section 6.1 and Section 6.2, respectively, shall be contract rights. If a claim under Section 6.1 or Section 6.2 is not paid in full by the Corporation within sixty days after a written claim has been received by the Corporation, except in the case of a claim for an advancement of expenses, in which case the applicable period shall be twenty days, the indemnitee may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim. If successful in whole or in part in any such suit, or in a suit brought by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the indemnitee shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting or defending such suit. In (A) any suit brought by the indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification hereunder (but not in a suit brought by the indemnitee to enforce a right to an advancement of expenses) it shall be a defense that, and (B) in any suit 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 indemnitee has not met any applicable standard for indemnification set forth in the Delaware General Corporation Law. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such suit that indemnification of the indemnitee is proper in the circumstances because the indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the Delaware General Corporation Law, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) that the indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall create a presumption that the indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct or, in the case of such a suit brought by the indemnitee, be a defense to such suit. In any suit brought by the indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification or to an advancement of expenses hereunder, or by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the burden of proving that the indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified, or to such advancement of expenses, under this Section or otherwise shall be on the Corporation.
 
Section 6.4    Non-Exclusivity of Rights.    The rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses conferred in this Section shall not be exclusive of any other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under the Certificate of Incorporation, these Amended and Restated Bylaws, or any statute, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.
 
Section 6.5    Insurance.    The Corporation may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any indemnitee or another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any expense, liability or loss, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under the Delaware General Corporation Law.
 
Section 6.6    Indemnification of Employees and Agents of the Corporation.    The Corporation may, to the extent authorized from time to time by the Board of Directors, grant rights to indemnification, and to the advancement of expenses, to any employee or agent of the Corporation to the fullest extent of the provisions of this Section with respect to the indemnification and advancement of expenses of directors and officers of the Corporation.
