AMENDED AND RESTATED ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION

ACCENTIA, INC.

(AS AMENDED)

The undersigned, being the Chief Executive Officer of Accentia, Inc., a Florida profit corporation (the “Corporation”), hereby certifies that the following Amendment to the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation of the Corporation, as amended, was duly approved and adopted by the Directors and by the stockholders of the Corporation on January 9, 2004:

AMENDMENT

Article IV shall be deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

ARTICLE IV

AUTHORIZED STOCK

1. (a) Authorized Issuance. The Corporation shall be authorized to issue (i) Three Hundred Million (300,000,000) shares of common stock with One Tenth of One Cent ($0.001) par value (the “Common Stock”), (ii) Ten Million (10,000,000) shares of Series A convertible preferred stock with One and No/100 Dollar ($1.00) par value (the “Series A Convertible Preferred Stock”), (iii) Thirty Million (30,000,000) shares of Series B convertible preferred stock with One and No/100 Dollar ($1.00) par value (the “Series B Convertible Preferred Stock”), (iv) Ten Million (10,000,000) shares of Series C convertible preferred stock with One and No/100 Dollar ($1.00) par value (the “Series C Convertible Preferred Stock”), (v) Fifteen Million (15,000,000) shares of Series D convertible preferred stock with One and No/100 Dollar ($1.00) par value (the “Series D Convertible Preferred Stock”) and (vi) Thirty Million (30,000,000) shares of Series E convertible preferred stock with One and No/100 Dollar ($1.00) par value (the “Series E Convertible Preferred Stock”). Except as otherwise expressly provided in these Articles or any amendment thereto, no holder of the Corporation’s stock shall have any preemptive right to acquire the Corporation’s securities.

(b) Parity. The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock and the Series E Convertible Preferred Stock are of the same class and shall be on parity with each other, except as provided elsewhere herein.

(i) Preference on Liquidation. The holders of outstanding shares of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock shall have liquidation rights senior to the liquidation rights of the holders of outstanding shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, the holders of

outstanding shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, the holders of outstanding shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, the holders of outstanding shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock and the holders of outstanding shares of Common Stock; accordingly, holders of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock are entitled to receive, upon the occurrence of a Liquidating Event (as defined below) an amount equal to $1.00 per share of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding and thereafter to participate in any additional liquidating distributions, along side the holders of outstanding shares of Common Stock immediately prior to the Liquidating Event, once required liquidating distributions to outstanding preferred stock have been satisfied. If, upon the occurrence of a Liquidating Event, the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders shall be insufficient to pay the holders of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock the full amount to which they shall be entitled, then the entire assets and funds of the Corporation legally available for distribution to its stockholders shall be distributed ratably among the holders of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock in proportion to the liquidation amount each such holder is otherwise entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 1.(c). The holders of outstanding shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock shall have liquidation rights senior to the liquidation rights of the holders of outstanding shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, the holders of outstanding shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, the holders of outstanding shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock and the holders of outstanding shares of Common Stock. The holders of outstanding shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall have liquidation rights senior to the liquidation rights of the holders of outstanding shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, the holders of outstanding shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock and the holders of outstanding shares of Common Stock. The holders of outstanding shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall have liquidation rights senior to the liquidation rights of the holders of outstanding shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock and the holders of outstanding shares of Common Stock. The holders of outstanding shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock shall have liquidation rights senior to the liquidation rights of the holders of outstanding shares of Common Stock. Before any liquidating distribution shall be paid to holders of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, Series D Convertible Preferred Stock and Common Stock, all liquidating distributions remaining after payment of liquidating distributions to holders of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock shall be paid to holders of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock until the aggregate amount of liquidating distribution payments equals the face value (of $1.00 per share) of outstanding Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations or the like) plus an amount equal to eight percent (8%) per annum from date of issuance of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock. All shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock that are outstanding, regardless of date of issuance, shall participate proportionately in such liquidating distributions based on the face value of all outstanding shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock.

(ii) Definition of Liquidating Event. A “Liquidating Event” shall mean (i) any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, either voluntary or involuntary, or (ii) a sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all the assets of the Corporation to, or a merger or consolidation into, an entity that is not controlled, directly or indirectly, by the stockholders of the Corporation; for purposes of this definition, “control” shall mean ownership of more than 50% of the voting power of an entity. Upon the occurrence of any

Liquidating Event that would involve the distribution of assets other than cash with respect to the outstanding shares of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock, the amount of such distribution shall be deemed to be the fair market value thereof at the time of such distribution determined as follows:

(A) Securities not subject to investment letter or other similar restrictions on free marketability covered by (B) below:

(1) If traded on a securities exchange or through the Nasdaq National Market or SmallCap Market, the fair market value shall be the average closing price of the Corporation’s Common Stock for the twenty (20) trading days immediately preceding the trading date ending three trading days prior to the closing;

(2) If actively traded over the counter, the fair market value shall be the average closing price of the Corporation’s Common Stock for the twenty (20) trading days immediately preceding the trading date ending three trading days prior to the closing; and

(3) If there is no active public market, the fair market value shall be the fair market value thereof, as mutually determined by the Board of Directors of this Corporation and the holders of at least two-thirds of the number of the then outstanding shares of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock. In the event that the Board of Directors and the holders of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock are unable to mutually determine the fair market value, an independent third party shall be mutually selected by the Board of Directors and the holders of at least two-thirds of the number of the then outstanding shares of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock.

(iii) Notice of Liquidating Event. The Corporation shall give each holder of record of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock written notice of such impending transaction not later than twenty (20) days prior to the stockholders’ meeting called to approve such transaction, or twenty (20) days prior to the closing of such transaction, whichever is earlier, and shall also notify such holders in writing of final approval of such transaction. Subject to confidentiality limitations, the first of such notices shall describe the material terms and conditions of the impending transaction, and the Corporation shall thereafter give such

holders prompt notice of any material changes. The transaction shall in no event take place sooner than twenty (20) days after the Corporation has given the first notice provided for herein or sooner than ten (10) days after the Corporation has given notice of any material changes provided for herein; provided, however, that such periods may be shorted upon the Corporation’s receipt of written consent of the holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock entitled to such notice and rights.

(d) Conversion Rights.

(i) Voluntary and Automatic Conversion. Each holder of outstanding shares of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock shall have the right at any time to convert all of that holders (this conversion right requires the conversion of all shares of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock owned or controlled by the converting party) outstanding shares of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock into that number of shares of fully paid and non-assessable Common Stock such that each share of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock shall represent one millionth percent of the capital stock of the Corporation outstanding after the conversion on a fully diluted basis (i.e. giving full effect to the assumed conversion or exercise of all outstanding options, warrants, preferred stock and convertible rights of the Corporation as if converted or exercised immediately before conversion). For example, five million (5,000,000) shares of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock would be convertible into 5% of the fully diluted equity of the Corporation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the aggregate value of the shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable upon a conversion determined in accordance with the preceding sentences is less than $1.00 for each share of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock being converted, then the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion will be automatically increased (but not decreased) by that number of shares of Common Stock necessary to cause the total shares of Common Stock to be issued at conversion to have a minimum value equal to $1.00 for each share of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock being converted. The value of the Common Stock, if automatic conversion is being effected pursuant to a Qualifying IPO (as defined below), shall be based on the IPO Offering Price or, if conversion is being effected other than as a result of a Qualifying IPO, then the value shall be based on appraisal value (as mutually agreed upon by the Board of Directors of the Corporation and at least two-thirds of the outstanding shares of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock). “IPO Offering Price” shall mean the initial public offering price per share for such stock in connection with a Qualifying IPO, as set forth in the final prospectus relating thereto. The holders of outstanding shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock shall have the right to convert outstanding shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock into that number of shares of fully paid and non-assessable Common Stock of the Corporation determined by dividing the aggregate face value of the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock being converted by the Per Share Value of the Common Stock of the Corporation, which Per Share Value shall be discounted by twenty percent (20%). The holders of outstanding shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock shall have the right to convert outstanding shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock into that number of shares of fully paid and non-assessable Common Stock of the Corporation determined by dividing the aggregate face value of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock being converted by the Per Share Value of the Common Stock of the Corporation, which Per Share Value shall be discounted by twenty percent (20%). The holders of outstanding shares of Series B Convertible

Preferred Stock shall have the right to convert outstanding shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock into that number of shares of fully paid and non-assessable Common Stock of the Corporation determined by dividing the aggregate face value of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock being converted by the Per Share Value of the Common Stock of the Corporation, which Per Share Value shall be discounted by twenty-five percent (25%). The holders of outstanding shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall have the right to convert each one (1) share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock into one (1) share of fully paid and non-assessable Common Stock of the Corporation. Notice of conversion must be in writing and delivered to the principal office of the Corporation. Such notice of conversion, once issued by the holder, shall be irrevocable. Notice of conversion may be issued by the holders of shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock commencing thirty-six (36) months following the effective time of the merger of TEAMM Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation, into TEAMM Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Florida corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Corporation; provided, however, that all outstanding shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock shall automatically convert to Common Stock upon a firm commitment underwritten initial public offering of the Common Stock of the Corporation resulting in aggregate gross proceeds to the Corporation (after all underwriting discounts) of at least $30,000,000. Notice of conversion may be issued by the holders of shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock commencing twenty-four (24) months following the effective time of the merger of The Analytica Group, Ltd., a New Jersey corporation, into The Analytica Group, Inc., a Florida corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Corporation (the “Analytica Effective Time”). On the last day of the 60^th month following the Analytica Effective Time, all outstanding shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall automatically convert to Common Stock as provided above. In the event of the sale to, or the merger of the Corporation with, a non-affiliated entity, the outstanding shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall automatically convert into that number of fully paid and no assessable shares of Common Stock determined by dividing the aggregate face value of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock by the amount equal to the aggregate value assigned to the Corporation or its assets in the sale or merger agreement divided by the total number of shares of the Corporation’s capital stock determined on a “fully diluted” basis immediately prior to the sale or merger (giving full effect to the shares of Common Stock to be issued upon conversion) which shall be discounted by twenty-five percent (25%) (the “Sale/Merger Per Share Value”). A sale or merger shall not be deemed to be to or with a non-affiliated entity unless, following such sale or merger, the holders of the voting securities of the Corporation immediately prior to such sale or merger shall own less than fifty percent (50%) of the voting securities of the entity surviving such sale or merger.

(ii) Determination of Per Share Value. Except with respect to conversion in the event of the sale to, or the merger of the Corporation with, a non-affiliated entity as discussed in clause (i) of this Section 1(d) (in which case Per Share Value shall be the Sale/Merger Per Share Value as defined in clause (i) of this Section 1(d)), Per Share Value shall be determined as follows:

(A) Securities not subject to investment letter or other similar restrictions on free marketability covered by (B) below:

(1) If traded on a securities exchange or through the Nasdaq National Market, the Per Share Value shall be the average closing price (i.e.- average of bid and ask price) of the Corporation’s Common Stock for the twenty (20) trading days immediately preceding (a) notice of conversion or (b) the date of conversion in the case of an automatic conversion;

(2) If actively traded over the counter, the Per Share Value shall be the average closing price of the Corporation’s Common Stock for the twenty (20) trading days immediately preceding (a) notice of conversion or (b) the date of conversion in the case of an automatic conversion; and

(B) any Stock Purchase Rights where the consideration per share for which shares of Common Stock may at any time thereafter be issuable upon exercise thereof (or, in the case of Stock Purchase Rights exercisable for the purchase of Convertible Securities, upon the subsequent conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities) shall be less than the Series E Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to, or at any time subsequent to, the time of the issue or sale of such Stock Purchase Rights; or

(C) any Convertible Securities where the consideration per share for which shares of Common Stock may at any time thereafter be issuable pursuant to the terms of such Convertible Securities shall be less than any Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to, or at any time subsequent to, the time of the issue or sale of such Convertible Securities;

other than an issuance of Common Stock pursuant to Subsections 1(e) and 1(d)(v)(F) of this Article IV (any such issuance shall be referred to hereinafter as a “Dilutive Issuance”), then forthwith upon such issue or sale (or at any such time thereafter, as the case may be, that the consideration per share in the Dilutive Issuance is, or becomes, less than the Series E Conversion Price), the Series E Conversion Price shall be reduced to (x) the lowest price per share in the Dilutive Issuance (calculated to the nearest cent), or (y) such other amount as each such holder of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock shall determine, provided that such amount shall not be less than the amount in (x) above.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Series E Conversion Price shall not at such time be reduced if such reduction would be an amount less than $.01, but any such amount shall be carried forward and deduction with respect thereto made at the time of and together with any subsequent

reduction that, together with such amount and any other amount or amounts so carried forward, shall aggregate $.01 or more.

(v) For purposes of Section 1(d)(iv), the following provisions will be applicable:

(2) Noncash Payment. In the case of consideration other than cash, the value of such consideration, which shall not include the value of any Convertible Securities being converted or exchanged, as determined by the Board of Directors in good faith, after deducting any accrued interest or dividends; and

(3) Stock Purchase Rights and Convertible Securities. The total consideration, if any, received by the Corporation as consideration for the issuance of the Stock Purchase Rights or the Convertible Securities, as the case may be, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Corporation upon the exercise of such Stock Purchase Rights or upon the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, as the case may be, in each case after deducting any accrued interest or dividends.

(E) Exclusions. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Corporation shall not be required to make any adjustment of the Series E Conversion Price in the case of (i) the issuance or sale of options, or the shares of stock issuable upon exercise of such options, to directors, officers, employees or consultants of the Corporation pursuant to stock options or stock purchase plans or agreements, whether “qualified” for tax purposes or not, pursuant to plans or arrangements approved by the Board of Directors, (ii) the issuance of Common Stock upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, the Series B

(e) Other Distributions. In the event this Corporation shall declare a distribution payable in securities of other entities, evidences of indebtedness issued by this Corporation or other entities, assets (excluding cash dividends) or options or rights not covered by Section 1(d) above, then, in each such case for the purpose of this Section 1(e), the holders of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, Series D Convertible Preferred Stock and Series E Convertible Preferred Stock shall be entitled to a proportionate share of any such distribution as though they were holders of the number of shares of Common Stock of this Corporation into which their shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, Series D Convertible Preferred Stock and Series E Convertible Preferred 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 Article IV), provision shall be made so that the holders of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, Series D Convertible Preferred Stock and Series E Convertible Preferred Stock shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon conversion of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, Series C Convertible Preferred, Stock Series D Convertible Preferred Stock and Series E Convertible Preferred Stock the number of shares of stock or other securities or property of the Corporation or otherwise, to which a holder of Common Stock deliverable upon conversion would have been entitled on such recapitalization.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This correspondence is delivered to you in connection with my position of in-house legal counsel to Accentia, Inc. (the “Company”). It is noted that I am a member of the Board of Directors of the Company. Except as otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the respective meanings given to them in the Series E Convertible Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of January 9, 2004 between the Company and you (the “Agreement”).

In connection with rendering this opinion, I have examined the Agreement, the Series E Convertible Preferred Stock Certificate, the Class A Warrant, the Class B Warrant and the Investors’ Rights Agreement (herein collectively referred to as the “Transaction Documents”). Additionally, I have reviewed the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Company and such other documents, agreements and records as I deemed necessary.

In connection herewith I have assumed that: (i) each of the Transaction Documents have been duly executed and delivered by you, (ii) the genuineness of all signatures, (iii) the legal capacity of natural persons, (iv) the authenticity of all documents including those submitted as fax or email copies, and (iv) that all Transaction Documents are valid and binding obligations of all of the parties thereto other than the Company.

Based upon and subject to the forgoing, I am of the opinion that:

1. The Company is duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing in the State of Florida. The Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation which authorize the Series E Convertible Preferred stock have been duly approved by the Company’s directors and shareholders.

2. The Company’s authorized capital stock consists of (a) 300,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of which, as of the date hereof, 10,264,200 shares are issued and outstanding, and (b) 95,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, $1.00 par value per share, of which (i) 10,000,000 shares have been designated Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, $0.0001 par value per share, of which, as of the date hereof,

3,233,000 shares are issued and outstanding, (ii) 30,000,000 shares have been designated Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, $0.0001 par value per share, of which, as of the date hereof, 8,074,263 shares are issued and outstanding, (iii) 10,000,000 shares have been designated Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, $0.0001 par value per share, of which, as of the date hereof, 7,500,000 shares are issued and outstanding, (iv) 15,000,000 shares have been designated Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, $0.0001 par value per share, of which, as of the date hereof, 11,790,486 shares are issued and outstanding, and (v) 30,000,000 shares have been designated Series E Convertible Preferred Stock, $0.0001 par value per share, of which, as of the date hereof (excluding the shares to be issued at the Closing), no shares are issued and outstanding. The outstanding of Common Stock and Preferred Stock have been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid and nonassessable. The rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, Series D Convertible Preferred Stock and Series E Convertible Preferred Stock are as stated in the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation of the Company. The Shares have been duly authorized, and upon issuance and delivery against payment therefore in accordance with the terms of the Agreement, the Shares will be validly issued, outstanding, fully paid and nonassessable. The shares of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants have been duly authorized and reserved, and upon the issuance and delivery against payment therefore in accordance with the terms of the Warrants, will be validly issued, outstanding, fully paid and nonassessable. The shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Shares and the Warrant Shares have been duly authorized, and upon issuance and delivery against payment therefore in accordance with the terms of the Shares and Warrant Shares, will be validly issued, outstanding, fully paid and nonassessable. Except for the conversion privileges of the Preferred Stock and except as disclosed in the Agreement, there are no other outstanding options, warrants, rights (including conversion rights, preemptive rights, co-sale rights, rights of first refusal or other similar rights) or agreements for the purchase or acquisition from the Company of any shares of its capital stock.

3. The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into, execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents and each of the Transaction Documents is duly authorized by all necessary corporate action by the Company. Upon delivery the Transaction Documents will be valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, except as enforceability may be limited by general equitable principals, bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium or other laws affecting such rights.

4. The execution, delivery, and performance of the Transaction Documents and the issuance of the Shares and Warrants pursuant thereto do not violate any of the terms or provisions of the Company’s Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws, do not constitute a default under the provisions of any material agreement of the Company or any Subsidiary, and do not violate or contravene (a) any governmental statute, rule or regulation applicable to the Company or the Transaction Documents or (b)

any order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, determination or award which has been entered against the Company and of which we are aware, the violation or contravention of which would materially and adversely affect the company, its assets, financial condition or operations.

5. To the best of my knowledge and except as disclosed in the Schedule of Exceptions, there is no action, proceeding or investigation pending or threatened against the Company or any Subsidiary before any court or administrative agency that questions the validity of the Transaction Documents or might result, either individually or in the aggregate, in any material adverse change in the assets, financial condition, or operations of the Company or its Subsidiaries.

6. All consents, approvals, authorizations, or orders of, and filings, registrations, and qualifications with any regulatory authority or governmental body in the United States required for the execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents by the Company and the issuance of the Shares and the Warrants have been made or obtained, except (i) for the filing of a Form D pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation D and (ii) as may be required under any applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws subsequent to the issuance and sale of the Shares and the Warrants.

7. Provided that the representations made by you in the Agreement are accurate, the offer and sale of the Shares and the Warrants are exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the issuance of Common Stock to you upon conversion of the Shares, the issuance of shares of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock to you upon exercise of the Warrants, and the issuance of Common Stock to you upon conversion of the Warrant Shares would also be exempt from such registration requirements, subject to the timely filing of a Form D pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation D.

This opinion is rendered only with regard to the matters set out in paragraphs 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 hereof and no further or additional opinion should be inferred. This opinion is based on the federal laws of the United States of America and the laws of the State of Florida and does not include an interpretation of the laws of North Carolina or any other jurisdiction. In so far as the Transaction Documents are governed by the laws of jurisdictions other than Florida, we have assumed that such laws are identical in all respects with the laws of Florida.

The letter is issued to you solely for your use in connection with the Transaction Documents and may not be relied upon by any other person or entity or for any other purpose without my express permission.

Very truly yours,

Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxx, Esq.

RECITALS

WHEREAS, PPD is a party to the Series E Convertible Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement of even date herewith by and among the Company and PPD (the “Series E Stock Purchase Agreement”), which provides that as a condition to the closing of the sale of up to 5,000,000 shares of the Company’s Series E Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series E Stock”), this Agreement must be executed and delivered by the Company.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants set forth herein, the parties hereto further agree as follows:

AGREEMENT

1. REGISTRATION RIGHTS. The Company covenants and agrees as follows:

1.1 Definitions. For purposes of this Section 1:

(a) The term “register,” “registered,” and “registration” refer to a registration effected by preparing and filing a registration statement or similar document in compliance with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), and the declaration or ordering of effectiveness of such registration statement or document;

(b) The term “Registrable Securities” means the (i) Common Stock issuable or issued upon conversion of the Series E Stock issued or issuable in connection with the Series E Stock Purchase Agreement, whether such Series E Stock is issued at the Closing or subsequent thereto upon the exercise of any warrants issued to PPD pursuant to the Series E Stock Purchase Agreement ; and (ii) any Common Stock of the Company issued as (or issuable upon the conversion or exercise of any warrant, right or other security which is issued as) a dividend or other distribution with respect to, or in exchange for or in replacement of, any Series E Stock;

(c) The number of shares of “Registrable Securities then outstanding” shall be determined by the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding which are, and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to then exercisable or convertible securities which are, Registrable Securities;

(d) The term “Holder” means any person owning or having the right to acquire Registrable Securities or any assignee thereof in accordance with Section 1.12 hereof, including PPD; and

(e) The term “Form S-3” means such form under the Act as in effect on the date hereof or any registration form under the Act subsequently adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) which permits inclusion or incorporation of substantial information by reference to other documents filed by the Company with the SEC.

(f) The term “Qualifying IPO” means the closing of a firm commitment underwritten public offering pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Act, as amended, covering the offer and sale of Common Stock for the account of the Company to the public (an “Initial Public Offering”) in which the public offering price exceeds (prior to underwriter’s discounts or commissions and offering expenses) a price per share (adjusted for any subsequent stock splits, stock dividends, reclassifications or recapitalizations) that implies a minimum aggregate enterprise value for the Company, on a fully diluted share basis, of not less than $200,000,000 and the aggregate gross proceeds raised by the Company (after all underwriting discounts) shall equal or exceed $30,000,000.

1.2 Request for Registration.

(a) If the Company shall receive at any time after the earlier of (i) eighteen (18) months after the date hereof or (ii) six (6) months following the effective date of the first registration statement for a public offering of securities of the Company (other than a registration statement relating either to the sale of securities to employees of the Company pursuant to a stock option, stock purchase or similar plan or a SEC Rule 145 transaction) (the “Initial Registration”), a written request from the Holders of at least twenty percent (20%) of the Registrable Securities (the “Initiating Holders”) that the Company file a registration statement under the Act covering the registration of such Holders’ Registrable Securities with an aggregate offering price expected to exceed $2,000,000, then the Company shall, within ten (10) days of the receipt thereof, give written notice of such request to all Holders and shall, subject to the limitations of Section 1.2(b), use its best efforts to effect as soon as practicable the registration under the Act of all Registrable Securities which the Holders request to be registered within twenty (20) days of the mailing of such written notice by the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to take any action to effect any such registration, qualification or compliance pursuant to this Section 1.2(a):

(i) During the period starting with the date ninety (90) days prior to the Company’s estimated date of filing of, and ending on the date one hundred eighty (180) days immediately following the effective date of, any registration statement pertaining to securities of the Company (other than a registration of securities in a Rule 145 transaction or with respect to an employee benefit plan), provided that the Company is actively employing in good faith all reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective;

(ii) After the Company has effected two (2) such registrations pursuant to this Section 1.2(a), and such registrations have been declared or ordered effective;

(iii) If the Company shall furnish to such Holders a certificate signed by the Chief Executive Officer or President of the Company stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors it would be seriously detrimental to the Company or its stockholders for a registration statement to be filed at such time, then the Company’s obligation to use its best efforts to register, qualify or comply under this Section 1.2(a) shall be deferred for a period not to exceed 60 days (which may be extended by the Company for an additional 60 days if in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors the serious detriment was continuing) from the date of receipt of written request from the Holders; provided, however, that the Company may not utilize this right more than once in any twelve-month period.

(b) If the Initiating Holders intend to distribute the Registrable Securities covered by their request by means of an underwriting, they shall so advise the Company as a part of their request made pursuant to this Section 1.2, and the Company shall include such information in the written notice referred to in Section 1.2(a). In such event, the right of any Holder to include such Holder’s 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 Initiating Holders and such Holder) to the extent provided herein. All Holders proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting shall (together with the Company as provided in Section 1.4(e)) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting by a majority in interest of the Initiating Holders. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 1.2, if the underwriter advises the Initiating Holders in writing that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten, then the Initiating Holders shall so advise all Holders of Registrable Securities which would otherwise be underwritten pursuant hereto, and the number of shares of Registrable Securities that may be included in the underwriting shall be allocated among all Holders thereof, including the Initiating Holders, in proportion (as nearly as practicable) to the amount of Registrable Securities of the Company owned by each Holder participating in such underwriting.

1.3 Company Registration. If (but without any obligation to do so) the Company proposes to register (including for this purpose a registration effected by the Company for stockholders other than the Holders) any of its stock or other securities under the Act in connection with the public offering of such securities solely for cash (other than a registration relating solely to the sale of securities to participants in a Company stock plan, or a registration on any form which does not include substantially the same information as would be required to be included in a registration statement covering the sale of the Registrable Securities), the Company shall, at such time, promptly give each Holder written notice of such registration. Upon the written request of each Holder given within twenty (20) days after mailing of written notice by the Company, the Company shall, subject to the provisions of Section 1.8, cause to be registered under the Act all of the Registrable Securities that each such Holder has requested to be registered. The Company shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under this Section 1.3 prior to the effectiveness of such registration whether or not any Holder has elected to include securities in such registration. The registration expenses of such withdrawn registration shall be borne by the Company in accordance with Section 1.7 hereof.

1.4 Obligations of the Company. Whenever required under this Section 1 to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities, the Company shall, as expeditiously as reasonably possible:

(a) 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, and keep such registration statement effective for the earlier of ninety (90) days from the effective date of the Registration Statement or until the distribution described in the Registration Statement has been completed.

(b) 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 Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement.

(c) Furnish to the Holders such numbers of copies of a prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, in conformity with the requirements of the Act, and such other documents as they may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of Registrable Securities owned by them.

(d) 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, however, that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to qualify to do business or to file a general consent to service of process in any such states or jurisdictions.

(e) In the event of any underwritten public offering, enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary form, with the managing underwriter of such offering. Each Holder participating in such underwriting shall also enter into and perform its obligations under such an agreement.

(f) Notify each Holder covered by such registration statement at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the 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) Furnish, at the request of any Holder requesting registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 1, on the date that such Registrable Securities are delivered to the underwriters for sale in connection with a registration pursuant to this Section 1, 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, an opinion, dated such date, of the counsel representing the Company for the purposes of such registration, in form and substance as is customarily given to underwriters in an underwritten public offering, addressed to the underwriters, if any, and to the Holders requesting registration of Registrable Securities.

1.5 Furnish Information. It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to take any action pursuant to this Section 1 with respect to the Registrable Securities of any selling Holder that such Holder shall furnish to the Company, promptly upon request, 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.

1.6 Expenses of Registrations. The Company shall bear and pay all expenses incurred in connection with any registration, filing or qualification of Registrable Securities with respect to the registrations pursuant to Sections 1.2, 1.3 and 1.11 for each Holder (which right may be assigned as provided in Section 1.12), including (without limitation) all registration, filing, and qualification fees, printers and accounting fees relating or apportionable thereto, , but excluding stock transfer taxes, and any underwriting discounts and commissions and any legal fees incurred by Holder relating to Registrable Securities.

1.7 Underwriting Requirements. In connection with any offering involving an underwriting of shares being issued by the Company, the Company shall not be required under Section 1.3 to include any of the Holders’ securities in such underwriting unless they accept the terms of the underwriting as agreed upon between the Company and the underwriters selected by it (or by other persons entitled to select the underwriters), and then only in such quantity as will not, in the opinion of the underwriters, jeopardize the success of the offering by the Company, but in no event will the amount of Registrable Securities of the selling Holders included in the offering be reduced below twenty percent (20%) of the total amount of securities included in such offering, unless such offering is the initial public offering of the Company’s securities in which case the selling stockholders may be excluded entirely if the underwriters make the determination described above and no other stockholder’s securities are included. If the underwriter determines in good faith that marketing factors require a limitation in the number of shares to be underwritten, the number of shares that may be included in the underwriting shall be allocated (i) first, to the Company; (ii) second to the Holders on a pro rata basis based on the number of Registrable Securities held by the Holders; and (iii) third to any other stockholder of the Company (other than a Holder) on a pro rata basis; provided, however, that in no event shall any Holder be restricted from including such Holder’s Registrable Securities in an offering pursuant to this Section 1.7 unless and until all other holders of securities of the Company have been entirely restricted. For purposes of apportionment, 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 shares carrying registration rights owned by all entities and individuals included in such “selling stockholder,” as defined in this sentence.

1.8 Delay of Registration. No Holder shall have any right to obtain or seek an injunction restraining or otherwise delaying any such registration as the result of any controversy that might arise with respect to the interpretation or implementation of this Section 1.

1.9 Indemnification. In the event any Registrable Securities are included in a registration statement under this Section 1:

(a) To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, any underwriter (as defined in the Act) for such Holder and each person, if any, who controls such Holder or underwriter within the meaning of the Act or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, amended (the “1934 Act”), against any losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (joint or several) to which such Holder, underwriter or controlling person may become subject under the Act, the 1934 Act or other federal or state law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any of the following statements, omissions or violations of the Company (collectively a “Violation”): (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of the Company of a material fact contained in such registration statement, including any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or any amendments or supplements thereto, (ii) the omission or alleged omission by the Company to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Act, the 1934 Act, any state securities law or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Act, the 1934 Act or any state securities law; and the Company will pay to each such Holder, underwriter or controlling person, as incurred, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 1.9(a) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), nor shall the Company be liable in any such case for any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action to the extent that it arises out of or is based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished expressly for use in connection with such registration by any such Holder, underwriter or controlling person.

(b) To the extent permitted by law, each selling Holder will severally, not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who has signed the registration statement, each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Act, any underwriter, any other Holder selling securities in such registration statement and any controlling person of any such underwriter or other Holder, against any losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (joint or several) to which any of the foregoing persons may become subject, under the Act, the 1934 Act or other federal or state law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (or actions in respect thereto) arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in each case to the extent (and only to the extent) that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by such Holder expressly for use in connection with such registration; and each such Holder will pay, as incurred, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by any person intended to be indemnified pursuant to this Section 1.9(b), in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 1.9(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Holder, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, that, in no event shall any indemnity under this

Section 1.9(b) exceed the net proceeds from the offering received by such Holder, except in the case of willful fraud by such Holder.

(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 1.9 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action), such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 1.9, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof, and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the parties; provided, however, that an indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if representation of such indemnified party by the counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such indemnified party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action, if prejudicial to its ability to defend such action, shall relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the indemnified party under this Section 1.9, but the omission so to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 1.9.

(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 1.9 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense referred to therein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party hereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and of the indemnified party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided, that, in no event shall any indemnity under this Section 1.9(d) exceed the net proceeds from the offering received by such Holder, except in the case of willful fraud by such Holder. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the provisions on indemnification and contribution contained in the underwriting agreement entered into in connection with the underwritten public offering are in conflict with the foregoing provisions, the provisions in the underwriting agreement shall control.

(f) The obligations of the Company and Holders under this Section 1.9 shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in a registration statement under this Section 1, and otherwise.

1.10 Reports Under Securities Exchange Act of 1934. With a view to making available to the Holders the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated under the Act (“Rule 144”) and any other rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit a Holder to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration or pursuant to a registration on Form S-3, the Company agrees to:

(a) make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144, at all times after the effective date of the first registration statement filed by the Company for the offering of its securities to the general public;

(b) take such action, including the voluntary registration of its Common Stock under Section 12 of the 1934 Act, as is necessary to enable the Holders to utilize Form S-3 for the sale of their Registrable Securities, such action to be taken as soon as practicable after the end of the fiscal year in which the first registration statement filed by the Company for the offering of its securities to the general public is declared effective;

(c) file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Act and the 1934 Act; and

(d) furnish to any Holder, so long as the Holder owns any Registrable Securities, forthwith upon request (i) a written statement by the Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements of Rule 144 (at any time after ninety (90) days after the effective date of the first registration statement filed by the Company), the Act and the 1934 Act (at any time after it has become subject to such reporting requirements), or that it qualifies as a registrant whose securities may be resold pursuant to Form S-3 (at any time after it so qualifies), (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company, and (iii) such other information as may be reasonably requested in availing any Holder of any rule or regulation of the SEC which permits the selling of any such securities without registration or pursuant to such form.

1.11 Form S-3 Registration. In case the Company shall receive from any Holder or Holders who hold in excess of thirty percent (30%) of the Registrable Securities, a written request or requests that the Company effect a registration on Form S-3 and any related qualification or compliance with respect to all or a part of the Registrable Securities owned by such Holder or Holders, the Company will:

(a) promptly give written notice of the proposed registration, and any related qualification or compliance, to all other Holders; and

(b) 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 (15) days after receipt of such written notice from the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to effect any such registration, qualification or compliance, pursuant to this Section 1.11: (i) if Form S-3 is not available for such offering by the Holders; (ii)

if the Holders, together with the holders of any other securities of the Company entitled to inclusion in such registration, propose to sell Registrable Securities and such other securities (if any) at an aggregate price to the public (net of any underwriters’ discounts or commissions) of less than $500,000; (iii) if the Company shall furnish to the Holders a certificate signed by the Chief Executive Officer or President of the Company stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company, it would be seriously detrimental to the Company and its stockholders for such Form S-3 Registration to be effected at such time, in which event the Company shall have the right to defer the filing of the Form S-3 registration statement for a period of not more than 60 days (which may be extended by the Company for an additional 60 days if in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors the serious detriment was continuing) after receipt of the request of the Holder or Holders under this Section 1.11; provided, however, that the Company shall not utilize this right more than once in any twelve (12) month period; or (iv) in any particular jurisdiction in which the Company would be required to qualify to do business or to execute a general consent to service of process in effecting such registration, qualification or compliance.

(c) If the Holders initiating the registration request hereunder (the “Participating Holders”) intend to distribute the Registrable Securities covered by their request by means of an underwriting, they shall so advise the Company as part of their request made pursuant to this Section 1.11 and the Company shall include such information in the written notice referred to in Section 1.11(a). In such event, the right of any Holder to include such Holder’s 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 Participating Holders and such Holder) to the extent provided herein. All Holders proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting shall (together with the Company as provided in Section 1.4(e)) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting by a majority in interest of the Participating Holders. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 1.11, if the underwriter advises the Participating Holders in writing that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten, then the Participating Holders shall so advise all Holders of Registrable Securities which would otherwise be underwritten pursuant hereto, and the number of shares of Registrable Securities that may be included in the underwriting shall be allocated among all Holders thereof, including the Participating Holders, in proportion (as nearly as practicable) to the amount of Registrable Securities of the Company owned by each Holder.

(d) Subject to the foregoing, the Company shall file a registration statement covering the Registrable Securities and other securities so requested to be registered as soon as practicable after receipt of the request or requests of the Holders. Registrations effected pursuant to this Section 1.11 shall not be counted as the demand for registration or registrations effected pursuant to Sections 1.2 or 1.3, respectively.

1.12 Assignment of Registration Rights. The rights to cause the Company to register Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 1 may be assigned by a Holder to any of the following transferees or assignees of Registrable Securities: (i) any such transferee or assignee who holds, subsequent to such transfer, five percent (5%) of the total number of shares of Registrable Securities (as adjusted for stock splits, bonuses, combinations, and the

like); or (ii) a subsidiary, wholly-owned entity, parent, affiliate, member, stockholder, officer, general partner, limited partner or former or retired partner or member of a Holder; or (iii) a Holder’s family member or trust for the benefit of an individual Holder or any family member; provided, however, that (a) the Company is, within a reasonable time after such transfer, furnished with written notice of the name and address of such transferee or assignee and the securities with respect to which such registration rights are being assigned and (b) such assignment shall be effective only if immediately following such transfer the transferee is bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement and such transfer of any Registrable Securities is lawful under all applicable securities laws.

1.13 Termination of Registration Rights. No stockholder shall be entitled to exercise any right provided for in this Section 1 (except rights pursuant to Section 1.10) after the earlier of (i) three (3) years following the consummation of the sale of securities pursuant to an Initial Public Offering, or (ii) as to a given Holder, when such Holder can sell all of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in a consecutive ninety (90) day period pursuant to Rule 144.

1.14 Limitations on Subsequent Registration Rights. Except with respect to substantially identical registration rights that may be granted to other holders of Series E Stock and Series F Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series F Stock”), if created, with respect to such Series E Stock or Series F Stock (and the Common Stock obtained upon conversion) held by them, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities, enter into any agreement (other than this Agreement) with any holder or prospective holder of any securities of the Company which would allow such holder or prospective holder (i) to include securities of the Company in any Registration Statement upon terms which are the same or more favorable to such holder or prospective holder than the terms on which holders of Registrable Securities may include shares in such registration or (ii) to make a demand registration which could result in such registration statement being declared effective prior to the dates set forth in Section 1.2.

2. INFORMATION RIGHTS.

2.1 Inspection. The Company shall permit each Holder holding, together with its affiliates (which may include, without limitation, any person or entity to which rights can be transferred pursuant to Section 3.4, below), an aggregate of at least 1,000,000 shares of the Series E Stock (each, a “Major Holder” and collectively, the “Major Holders”), at such Major Holder’s expense to visit and inspect the Company’s properties, to examine its books of account and records and to discuss the Company’s affairs, finances and accounts with its officers, all at such reasonable times as may be requested by the Major Holder; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated pursuant to this Section 2.1 to provide access to any information which it reasonably considers to be a trade secret or similar confidential information unless such Major Holder agrees in writing to hold such information in confidence.

10.

2.2 Delivery of Financial Statements.

(a) The Company shall deliver to each Holder of Series E Stock:

(1) as soon as practicable, but in any event within one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company commencing with the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003, a balance sheet dated as of the last day of such fiscal year, and statements of operations, cash flow and stockholders’ equity for such fiscal year. Such year-end financial reports to be in reasonable detail, prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), and audited and certified by independent public accountants of nationally recognized standing selected by the Company;

(2) within forty five (45) days of the end of each fiscal quarter of the Company commencing with the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2003, an unaudited statement of operations and balance sheet for and as of the end of such quarter, in reasonable detail and prepared in accordance with GAAP, subject to year end audit adjustments and the absence of footnotes; and

(b) The Company shall deliver to each Major Holder:

(1) as soon as practicable, but in any event within thirty (30) days prior to the end of the Company’s fiscal year, an annual budget and operating plan for the Company for the following fiscal year;

(2) as soon as practicable after the end of each month, and in any event within thirty (30) days thereafter, an unaudited statement of operations and balance sheet for such month, in reasonable detail and prepared in accordance with GAAP, subject to year end audit adjustments and the absence of footnotes.

2.3 Termination of Information Rights. The covenants set forth in this Section 2 shall terminate as to all Holders and Major Holders and be of no further force and effect (i) upon the consummation of a Qualifying IPO or (ii) when the Company first becomes subject to the periodic reporting requirements of Section 12(g) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, whichever event shall first occur.

3. INVESTORS’ RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL.

3.1 Right of First Refusal. The Company hereby grants to each Holder, on the terms set forth in this Section 3, the right of first refusal to purchase all or any part of such Holder’s pro rata share of the New Securities (as defined in Section 3.2) which the Company may, from time to time, propose to sell and issue (the “Right of First Refusal”). The Holders may purchase said New Securities on the same terms and at the same price at which the Company proposes to sell the New Securities. For the purposes of this right of first refusal, a Holder’s pro rata share of the New Securities is a fraction, the numerator of which is the total number of shares of Common Stock held by such Holder (including any shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series E Stock held by or issuable to such Holder) and the denominator of which is the total number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock outstanding (including any shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of or exercise of, as the case may be, Preferred Stock) immediately prior to the issuance of the New Securities; provided, however, if it is impossible or impractical, as determined in the sole discretion of Holder’s of a majority of the Series E Stock, to determine the applicable pro rata

11.

percentage in accordance with the preceding sentences of this Section 3.1, then such majority may elect for the applicable pro rata percentage to be set at 15%.

3.2 New Securities. “New Securities” shall mean any capital stock of the Company, whether now authorized or not, and any rights, options or warrants to purchase said capital stock, and securities of any type whatsoever that are, or may become, convertible into said capital stock; provided, however, that New Securities shall not include (i) the Series E Stock, (ii) shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Preferred Stock, (iii) securities offered pursuant to a registration statement filed under the Act, (iv) securities issued pursuant to the acquisition of another corporation by the Company by merger, purchase of substantially all of the assets or other reorganization, or in any transaction in which the Company’s stockholders immediately prior to such transaction own immediately after such transaction not less than 51% of the voting power of the surviving corporation or its parent, (v) up to 10,000,000 shares of capital stock and/or stock options issued to officers, employees, consultants or advisors pursuant to the Company’s stock option plans; (vi) securities issued in connection with leases or bank financing arrangements or corporate partnering, licensing or similar transactions, provided that such transactions and the issuance of shares therein has been approved by the Board of Directors of the Company, (vii) any warrants, options or rights (and any shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock issued or issuable upon the exercise of such warrants, options or rights) to purchase shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock that are outstanding as of the date of this Agreement, and (viii) securities issued in connection with any stock split, stock dividend or distribution, or recapitalization by the Company approved by the Company’s Board of Directors.

3.3 Notice of Proposed Issuance. In the event the Company proposes to undertake an issuance of New Securities, it shall give to the Holders written notice (the “Notice”) of its intention, describing the type of New Securities, the price, the terms upon which the Company proposes to issue the same, the date of the proposed issuance and a statement as to the number of days from receipt of such Notice within which the Holders must respond to such Notice. The Holders shall have twenty (20) days from the date of receipt of the Notice to purchase any or all of the New Securities for the price and upon the terms specified in the Notice by giving written notice to the Company and stating therein the quantity of New Securities to be purchased and forwarding payment for such New Securities to the Company if immediate payment is required by such terms, or in any event no later than the date of the proposed issuance as set forth in the Notice. If not all of the Holders elect to purchase their pro rata share of the New Securities, then the Company shall promptly notify in writing the Holders who do so elect to purchase all of their pro rata portion of the New Securities and shall offer such subscribing Holders the right to acquire their pro rata portion of any unsubscribed New Securities. Each subscribing Holder shall have five (5) days after receipt of such notice to notify the Company in writing of its election to purchase all of its pro rata portion of the unsubscribed New Securities. If the Holders fail to exercise in full their first refusal rights, the Company may sell the New Securities for which the Holders first refusal rights were not exercised, at a price and upon terms and conditions no more favorable then specified in the Notice.

3.4 Transfer of Rights. The right of first refusal granted under this Section 3 may not be assigned or transferred, except that such right is assignable or

12.

transferable by each Holder to any transferee or assignee (i) who is a partner or member (or retired partner or member) of a Holder or the estate of such partner or member (or retired partner or member) or (ii) that is a wholly owned subsidiary or parent of, or to any corporation or entity that is, within the meaning of the Act, controlling, controlled by or under common control with, any such Holder; provided, however, that the provisions of this Section 3 shall be binding upon any such assignee or transferee.

3.5 Termination of Rights. The right of first refusal granted under this Section 3 shall expire upon the first to occur of (i) consummation of a Qualifying IPO, (ii) the sale, assignment or other transfer of the Registrable Securities or the Series E Stock, or (iii) the conversion of the Series E Stock into Common Stock.
