4.

Failure of Payments to Terk ---------------------------- (a) Upon the failure of CAIS to pay any amounts due to Terk pursuant to Section 3(a) hereof and such default continues for five (5) business days after written notice is received by CAIS, then the amendments to the Inline/Terk Agreement provided by Sections 2(a), 2(c), 2(d) and 2(e) hereof and the provisions in Section 4(a) hereof shall, at Terk's election, be subject to termination by written notice to Inline and CAIS and, upon Terk giving such notice, will thereafter be void and without further force or effect and the Inline/Terk Agreement shall continue in full force on the terms and conditions contained therein prior to the effective date of such amendments. If Terk elects to exercise its rights to rescind such amendments and Section 4(a), such election shall not relieve CAIS of any obligations it may have to Terk pursuant to this Agreement. Upon the failure of CAIS to make any payment when due under Section 3(a), the entire unpaid amount due under Section 3(a) shall become due and payable. (b) If any amounts payable to Terk under Section 3(a) of this Agreement are not paid when due and Terk engages legal counsel to collect such amounts due pursuant to this 9
EX-10.3210th Page of 17TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 10th
Agreement, then CAIS shall pay to Terk all of Terk's costs and expenses, including reasonable legal fees, incurred by Terk in connection with the collection of such amounts or the enforcement of Terk's rights. 6. Common Stock ------------- (a) Upon dismissal of the Arbitration and District Court Action with prejudice, CAIS shall deliver to Terk one or more certificates representing twenty-five thousand (25,000) shares of the common stock of CAIS Internet Inc. ("CAIS Internet"), currently known as CGX Communications, Inc. In the event there is an initial public offering of common shares or other equity securities of CAIS Internet pursuant to a registration statement filed on Form S-1, or such other form as may then be applicable, which becomes effective under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder (the "IPO") at a price less than Ten Dollars ($10.00) per share, CAIS shall deliver to Terk, at no cost to Terk, a further certificate or certificates representing additional shares of CAIS Internet common stock such that the total shares delivered to Terk under this subsection multiplied by the IPO share price equals Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000.00). If the IPO consists of units of securities which include equity securities of CAIS Internet, then the foregoing calculation shall be made with respect to the offering price of such units of securities, each unit being considered one (1) share. The shares of CAIS Internet common stock delivered to Terk under this subsection are hereafter referred to as "Terk Shares". (b) CAIS shall cause Terk's Shares to be registered on Form S-1 or such applicable form promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") as may then be available when requested by Terk in writing after the effective date of CAIS Internet's IPO; provided, however, that, at the written request of CAIS Internet's underwriter, such registration of Terk's 10
EX-10.3211th Page of 17TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 11th
Shares may be delayed for the shortest period accorded to any of CAIS Internet's other shareholders. CAIS agrees to take such steps as may be required from time to time for the registration of Terk's Shares to remain effective. Terk shall reimburse CAIS for the pro rata cost of the SEC registration fees associated with registering the Terk Shares and any underwriter's discounts if the Terk Shares are offered through an underwriter. (c) Terk understands and agrees that the Terk Shares are not currently registered and are subject to Rule 144 restrictions and any other applicable restrictions of the SEC. Terk also understands and agrees that the Terk Shares may be subject to the most favorable restrictions imposed on the sales of shares by CAIS Internet's underwriters in the future on any of the other shareholders of CAIS Internet, but not to exceed one year and one day from the effective date of CAIS Internet's IPO. (d) In the event any monies to be paid to Terk under Section 3(a) have not been paid sixty (60) days after the CAIS Internet IPO becomes effective, CAIS agrees to pay such monies to Terk within sixty (60) days following said effective date. (e) Upon its initial filing of a registration statement with the SEC, CAIS shall promptly notify Terk of its intent to conduct an initial public offering and the terms then contemplated. CAIS shall promptly furnish Terk with a "red herring" prospectus when available and, when such registration becomes effective, a final prospectus. 7. Additional Common Stock ----------------------- In the event an IPO of CAIS Internet occurs, twenty-five thousand (25,000) shares of the common stock of CAIS Internet will be set aside to be purchased by Terk at such IPO. Terk shall purchase such additional shares at the same price and upon the same terms as any other member of the public. 11
EX-10.3212th Page of 17TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 12th
8. Enforcement of Intellectual Property Rights. -------------------------------------------- In the event that Terk becomes aware of a product or service made, used, sold or offered for sale in Terk's Field of Use, which Terk believes to infringe an issued patent within the intellectual property as defined in the Inline/Terk Agreement, Terk shall promptly advise Inline and CAIS of all the relevant facts and circumstances known by Terk in connection with such infringement. Inline and/or CAIS shall have the first right to enforce such patent against such infringement, at its own expense. In the event that Inline and/or CAIS shall fail, within ninety (90) days after receiving notice from Terk of the infringement, either (i) to terminate such infringement or (ii) to institute an action for patent infringement, then Terk shall have the right to do so at its own expense, and Inline and/or CAIS agree to be joined as parties plaintiff to such action. Any damages or costs recovered by Inline and/or CAIS (collectively "Inline/CAIS") in connection with any action filed by one or both hereunder, after first reimbursing them for out-of-pocket costs and expenses of litigation, including expert witness and attorneys fees, shall be divided seventy-five percent (75%) to Inline/CAIS and twenty-five percent (25%) to Terk. Any damages or costs recovered in connection with any action filed by Terk hereunder, after first reimbursing Terk for its out-of-pocket costs and expenses of litigation, including expert witness and attorneys fees, shall be equally divided seventy- five percent (75%) to Terk and twenty-five percent (25%) to Inline/CAIS. 9. Distribution of CAIS Products. ----------------------------- Simultaneous with the execution of this Agreement, CAIS and Terk shall enter into a non-exclusive distribution agreement by which Terk shall have the non-exclusive right to distribute, market, sell and commercialize in the United States and throughout the world, products manufactured by or for CAIS which utilize the technology, but solely for installation 12
