Closing, in which case such representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all
respects as of such specific date). Each of the representations and warranties set forth in
Section 8 of the Antigen SPA are true and correct in all respects as of the Closing (other than any
such representations and warranties that, by their terms, refer to a specific date other than the

respects as of such specific date). All such representations and warranties are hereby
incorporated herein as if set forth herein in their entirety, as delivered by the Company to the
Purchasers (but with respect to the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 6 and 7 of

18
have been fully satisfied, and have not been waived. Each of the
covenants set forth in the Antigen SPA, with respect to any actions required to take place on or
prior to the closing contemplated under the Antigen SPA, have been performed in all respects. To

SPA (as in effect on the date hereof) has been provided to the Purchasers. The Company has
delivered to each Purchaser audited financial statements for Antigen for the year ended December
31, 2007 (the “Antigen Financial Statements”). The Antigen Financial Statements have been prepared

throughout the periods indicated. The Antigen Financial Statements fairly present in all material
respects the financial condition and operating results of Antigen as of the dates, and for the
periods, indicated therein, subject to normal year-end adjustments. Except as set forth in

Company contained in this Agreement, as qualified by the Disclosure Schedule, and no certificate
furnished or to be furnished to Purchasers at the Closing contains any untrue statement of a
material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained
herein or therein not misleading in light of the circumstances under which they were made.

3. Representations and Warranties of the Purchasers. Each Purchaser hereby represents and
warrants to the Company, severally and not jointly, that:
3.1. Authorization. The Purchaser has full power and authority to enter into the
Transaction Agreements. The Transaction Agreements to which the Purchaser is a party, when
executed and delivered by the Purchaser, will constitute valid and legally binding
obligations of the Purchaser, enforceable in accordance with their terms, except (a) as limited by
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance, and any other
laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and as limited by
laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief, or other equitable
remedies, or (b) to the extent the indemnification provisions contained in the Investors’ Rights
Agreement may be limited by applicable federal or state securities laws.
3.2. Purchase Entirely for Own Account. This Agreement is made with the Purchaser in
reliance upon the Purchasers’ representation to the Company, which by the Purchasers’ execution of
this Agreement, the Purchaser hereby confirms, that the Shares to be acquired by the Purchaser will
be acquired for investment for the Purchasers’ own account, not
19
as a nominee or agent, and not with
a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof, and that the Purchaser has no present
intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same. By
executing this Agreement, the Purchaser further represents that the Purchaser does not presently
have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any Person to sell, transfer or grant
participations to such Person or to any third Person, with respect to any of the Shares. The
Purchaser has not been formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the Shares.
3.3. Disclosure of Information. The Purchaser has had an opportunity to discuss the
Company’s business, management, financial affairs and the terms and conditions of the offering of
the Shares with the Company’s management and has had an opportunity to review the Company’s
facilities. The foregoing, however, does not limit or modify the representations and warranties of
the Company in Section 2 of this Agreement or the right of the Purchasers to rely thereon.
3.4. Restricted Securities. The Purchaser understands that the Shares have not been, and
will not be, registered under the Securities Act, by reason of a specific exemption from the
registration provisions of the Securities Act which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide
nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of the Purchaser’s representations as expressed
herein. The Purchaser understands that the Shares are “restricted securities” under applicable
U.S. federal and state securities laws and that, pursuant to these laws, the Purchaser must hold
the Shares indefinitely unless they are registered with the Commission and qualified by state
authorities, or an exemption from such registration and qualification requirements is available.
The Purchaser acknowledges that the Company has no obligation to register or qualify the Shares, or
the Common Stock into which it may be converted, for resale except as set forth in the Investors’
Rights Agreement. The Purchaser further acknowledges that if an exemption from registration or
qualification is available, it may be conditioned on various requirements including, but not
limited to, the time and manner of sale, the holding period for the Shares, and on requirements
relating to the Company which are outside of the Purchaser’s control, and which the Company is
under no obligation and may not be able to satisfy.
3.5. No Public Market. The Purchaser understands that no public market now exists for the
Shares, and that the Company has made no assurances that a public market will ever exist for the
Shares.
3.6. Legends. The Purchaser understands that the Shares and any securities issued in
respect of or exchange for the Shares, may bear one or all of the following legends:
(a) “THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES
ACT OF 1933, AND HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND NOT WITH A VIEW TO, OR IN CONNECTION WITH,
THE SALE OR DISTRIBUTION THEREOF. NO SUCH TRANSFER MAY BE EFFECTED WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE
REGISTRATION STATEMENT RELATED THERETO OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL IN A FORM SATISFACTORY TO THE
COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933.”
20
(b) Any legend set forth in, or required by, the other Transaction Agreements.
(c) Any legend required by the securities laws of any state to the extent such laws are
applicable to the Shares represented by the certificate so legended.
3.7. Accredited Investor. The Purchaser is an accredited investor as defined in Rule
501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.
3.8. No General Solicitation. Neither the Purchaser, nor any of its officers, directors,
employees, agents, stockholders or partners has either directly or indirectly, including through a
broker or finder (a) engaged in any general solicitation, or (b) published any advertisement in
connection with the offer and sale of the Shares.
3.9. Exculpation Among Purchasers. The Purchaser acknowledges that it is not relying upon
any Person, other than the Company and its officers and directors, in making its investment or
decision to invest in the Company. The Purchaser agrees that neither any Purchaser nor the
respective controlling Persons, officers, directors, partners, agents or employees of any Purchaser
shall be liable to any other Purchaser for any action heretofore taken or omitted to be taken by
any of them in connection with the purchase of the Shares.

CERTIFICATE OF DETERMINATION OF PREFERENCES
OF THE SERIES B PREFERRED STOCK
We, the undersigned, being the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer and
Secretary, respectively, of
Planet Technologies, Inc. (“
The Corporation” or “
The Company”), a
corporation organized and existing under and by virtue of the provisions of the laws of the State
of California, DO HEREBY CERTIFY:
FIRST: We are the duly elected and acting Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer, respectively, of the Company;
SECOND: The Articles of Incorporation of
Planet Technologies, Inc., as amended and restated,
(the “
Articles”) authorizes the issuance of 5,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, no par value per
share (“
Preferred Stock”);
THIRD: Pursuant to the Articles, the Board of the Directors of the Corporation is authorized
to determine or alter the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions granted to or imposed
upon any wholly unissued series of Preferred Stock and to fix the number of shares constituting and
the designation of said series;
FOURTH: Acting pursuant to aforementioned authority, the Board of Directors has adopted the
following resolutions to determine and fix the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions
relating to a series of Preferred Stock, to be known as the Series B Preferred Stock, with
3,316,667 such shares authorized, none of the shares of such series having been issued;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that 3,316,667 shares of presently authorized but unissued
Preferred Stock, no par value per share, are hereby determined to be and shall be a series of said
Preferred Stock hereby designated as the “Series B Preferred Stock”; and
A. This series of preferred stock of this Corporation shall be designated as the “Series B
Preferred Stock.”
B. The number of shares constituting the Series B Preferred Stock shall be Three Million,
Three Hundred and Sixteen Thousand, Six Hundred and Sixty Seven (3,316,667) shares.
C. The rights, preferences, privileges, restrictions and other matters relating to the
Series B Preferred Stock are as follows:
1. Dividends.
The holders of outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive
dividends, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors, out of any assets at the time
legally available therefore. The right to receive dividends on such shares shall be cumulative,
and shall accrue to holders of Series B Preferred Stock from day to day whether or not declared
1
or paid in any calendar year or other period. Such dividend shall accrue from the date of
issuance of any shares of Series B Preferred Stock at a rate per annum of $0.48 per share of Series
B Preferred Stock (subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock
split, combination or other similar recapitalization with respect to Series B Preferred Stock) (the
“Series B Dividend Preference”). Except as contemplated by the following sentence, the Series B
Dividend Preference shall only be paid in the event of (i) any voluntary or involuntary
liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, or Deemed Liquidation (as defined in
Subsection 2.3.1), (ii) upon any redemption pursuant to Section 6, or (iii) the closing of
the sale of shares of Common Stock to the public (but not including a Qualified IPO (as defined in
Section 5.1) that occurs within eighteen months of the date hereof). Further, the
Corporation shall not declare, pay or set aside any dividends on shares of any other class or
series of capital stock of the Corporation (other than dividends on shares of Common Stock payable
solely in shares of Common Stock) unless (i) the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock then
outstanding shall first receive the Series B Dividend Preference and (ii) after payment of the
Series B Dividend Preference the remainder of such dividends are declared or paid pro rata among
the holders of the Preferred Stock and Common Stock on a per share basis (as if all shares of
Preferred Stock had been converted into Common Stock immediately prior to the payment of such
dividends) (such amount payable to the holders of the Series B Preferred, the “Series B
Dividends”). Any Series B Dividends that become payable hereunder shall be paid in cash. The
“Series B Original Issue Price” shall mean $6.00 per share, subject to appropriate adjustment in
the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination or other similar recapitalization with
respect to the Series B Preferred Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the
Corporation determines, subject to Section 3.3 and without limitation to Section 2,
including Section 2.3, to distribute the proceeds (cash or otherwise) resulting from any
sale or other transfer of its securities or sale, license and/or other transfer of its assets
(other than any sale, license or other transfer of its assets effected in the ordinary course of
business of the Corporation for which the Corporation is not required to obtain any consent
pursuant to Section 3.3), the proceeds resulting therefrom (including in respect of any
ongoing payments, such as a royalty or milestone payment) shall be distributed in accordance with
Sections 2.1 and 2.2, and not this Section 1.
2. Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding Up; Certain Mergers, Consolidations and Asset
Sales.
2.1 Preferential Payments to Holders of Series B Preferred Stock. Subject to the
final sentence of this Subsection 2.1, in the event of any voluntary or involuntary
liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, or any Deemed Liquidation Event (as
defined in Subsection 2.3.1), the holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock then
outstanding shall be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Corporation available for
distribution to its stockholders, pursuant to the laws of the State of California, before any
payment shall be made to the holders of any other shares of capital stock of the Company by reason
of their ownership thereof, a cash amount per share equal to the Series B Original Issue Price,
plus any Series B Dividends accrued but unpaid thereon. If upon any such liquidation, dissolution
or winding up of the Corporation, the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its
stockholders, pursuant to the laws of the State of California, shall be insufficient to pay the
holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock the full amount to which they shall be entitled under
this Subsection 2.1, the holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall share ratably
in any distribution of the
2
assets available for distribution in proportion to the respective amounts which would
otherwise be payable in respect of the shares held by them upon such distribution if all amounts
payable on or with respect to such shares were paid in full. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any
payment payable pursuant to this Subsection 2.1 shall be pari passu with any payment
payable to the holders of Redemption Notes (as defined Subsection 6.1) pursuant to
Subsection 6.1 upon any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of
the Corporation, or any Deemed Liquidation Event.
2.2 Distribution of Remaining Assets. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary
liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, after the payment of all preferential
amounts required to be paid to the holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock pursuant to
Subsection 2.1, the remaining assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its
stockholders, pursuant to the laws of the State of California, shall be distributed among the
holders of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock and Common Stock, pro rata based on the number of
shares held by each such holder, treating for this purpose all such securities as if they had been
converted to Common Stock pursuant to the terms of the Certificate of Incorporation immediately
prior to such dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Corporation. The aggregate amount
which a holder of a share of Series B Preferred Stock is entitled to receive under Subsections
2.1 and 2.2 is hereinafter referred to as the “Series B Liquidation Amount”; provided,
however, if the Series B Liquidation Amount exceed the sum of (x) $21.00 (subject to appropriate
adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination or other similar
recapitalization with respect to the Series B Preferred Stock) per share of Series B Preferred
Stock plus (y) any Series B Dividends accrued but unpaid thereon (determined on a per share basis)
(the sum of (x) and (y), the “Liquidation Conversion Amount”), then the holders of outstanding
shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall instead receive the amount such holder of Series B
Preferred Stock would have received if the shares of Series B Preferred Stock were converted to
shares of Common Stock prior to the Liquidation (but in no event less than the Liquidation
Conversion Amount).
2.3 Deemed Liquidation Events.
2.3.1 Definition. Each of the following events shall be considered a “Deemed
Liquidation Event” unless the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred
Stock elect otherwise by written notice sent to the Corporation at least five (5) days prior to the
effective date of any such event:
(a) a merger or consolidation in which
|
(i) |
|
the Corporation
is a constituent party or |
|
|
(ii) |
|
a subsidiary of
the Corporation is a constituent party and the
Corporation issues shares of its capital stock pursuant
to such merger or consolidation, |
except any such merger or consolidation involving the Corporation or a subsidiary in which the
shares of capital stock of the Corporation outstanding immediately prior to such merger or
consolidation continue to represent, or are converted into or exchanged for shares of capital stock
3
that represent, immediately following such merger or consolidation, at least a majority, by voting
power, of the capital stock of (1) the surviving or resulting corporation or (2) if the surviving
or resulting corporation is a wholly owned subsidiary of another corporation immediately following
such merger or consolidation, the parent corporation of such surviving or resulting corporation; or
(b) the sale, lease, transfer, exclusive license or other disposition, in a single transaction
or series of related transactions, by the Corporation or any subsidiary of the Corporation of all
or substantially all the assets of the Corporation and its subsidiaries taken as a whole or the
sale or disposition (whether by merger or otherwise) of one or more subsidiaries of the Corporation
if substantially all of the assets of the Corporation and its subsidiaries taken as a whole are
held by such subsidiary or subsidiaries, except where such sale, lease, transfer, exclusive license
or other disposition is to a wholly owned subsidiary of the Corporation or where the holders of the
capital stock immediately prior to such disposition (as such) hold immediately following such
disposition at least a majority of the voting power and economic interest of the entity to whom
the assets were transferred; or
(c) any other transaction or series of related transactions in which at least 60% of the
equity or voting power of the capital stock of the Corporation is transferred.
2.3.2 Effecting a Deemed Liquidation Event. The Corporation shall not have the power
to effect a Deemed Liquidation Event unless (i) the agreement relating to such transaction provides
that the consideration payable to the stockholders of the Corporation shall be allocated among the
holders of capital stock of the Corporation in accordance with Subsections 2.1 and
2.2 or (ii) the holders of both (A) at least a majority of the then outstanding shares of
Series B Preferred Stock and (B) the aggregate principal amount of any then outstanding Redemption
Notes, specifically approve (whether at a duly called meeting of the Series B Preferred
Stockholders or by a valid written consent in lieu of a meeting) the allocation of such
consideration in a manner different from that provided in Subsections 2.1 and 2.2.
2.3.3 Amount Deemed Paid or Distributed. The amount deemed paid or distributed to the
holders of capital stock of the Corporation upon any such liquidation, dissolution or winding up of
the Corporation, or Deemed Liquidation Event, shall be the cash or the value of the property,
rights or securities paid or distributed to such holders by the Corporation or the acquiring
person, firm or other entity. The value of such property, rights or securities shall be determined
in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Corporation; provided, however, that
if the amount involved could reasonably be determined to exceed $100,000 and the holders of a
majority of the then outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock, voting together as a single
class, notify the Board of Directors within fifteen (15) days after receiving from the Corporation
written notification of the determination of such fair market value that they disagree with such
determination, the Board of Directors, subject to the approval by an affirmative vote of the
holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock, given in writing
or by vote at a meeting, consenting or voting (as the case may be) separately as a class, shall
agree upon a fair market value of the relevant property. Any securities to be distributed to
stockholders shall be valued as follows:
(i) Valuation of Securities Subject to Investment Letter. Securities
4
not subject to investment letter or other similar restrictions on free
marketability:
(a) if the securities are then traded on a national securities exchange or the
NASDAQ National Market (or similar national quotation system), then the value of the
securities shall be deemed to be the average of the closing prices of the securities
on such exchange or system for the ten (10) consecutive trading days ending five (5)
trading days prior to the distribution; and
(b) if the securities are actively traded over-the-counter, then the value of
the securities shall be deemed to be the average of the closing bid prices of the
securities for the ten (10) consecutive trading days ending five (5) trading days
prior to the distribution.
(i) Valuation of Securities Not Subject to Investment Letter. The
valuation of securities subject to investment letter or other restrictions on free
marketability (other than restrictions arising solely by virtue of a stockholder’s
status as an affiliate or former affiliate) shall be reduced by an appropriate
discount from the market value determined as above in Subsection 2.3.3 to
reflect the approximate fair market value thereof, as mutually determined by the
Board of Directors and the holders of at least a majority of the voting power of all
then outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock.
For the purposes of this Subsection 2.3, “trading day” shall mean any day
which the exchange or system on which the securities to be distributed are traded is open and
“closing prices” or “closing bid prices” shall be deemed to be: (i) for securities
traded primarily on the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange or NASDAQ, the last
reported trade price or sale price, as the case may be, at 4:00 p.m., New York time, on that day;
and (ii) for securities listed or traded on other exchanges, markets and systems, the market price
as of the end of the regular hours trading period that is generally accepted as such for such
exchange, market or system. If, after the date hereof, the benchmark times generally accepted in
the securities industry for determining the market price of a stock as of a given trading day shall
change from those set forth above, the fair market value shall be determined as of such other
generally accepted benchmark times.
3. Voting.
3.1 General. On any matter presented to the stockholders of the Corporation for their
action or consideration at any meeting of stockholders of the Corporation (or by written consent of
stockholders in lieu of meeting), each holder of outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock
shall be entitled to cast the number of votes equal to the number of whole shares of Common Stock
into which the shares of Series B Preferred Stock held by such holder are convertible as of the
record date for determining stockholders entitled to vote on such matter. Except as provided by
law or by the other provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation, holders of Series B Preferred
Stock shall vote together with the holders of Common Stock as a single class.
3.2 Election of Directors. The Board of Directors shall be composed of five
5
members; provided that at the election of holders of a majority of the outstanding Series B
Preferred (the “Board Expansion Right”), the Board of Directors shall be increased by two members
(the “Additional Series B Directors”), for a total of seven members. The holders of record of the
shares of Series B Preferred Stock, exclusively as a separate class, shall be entitled to elect two
directors of the Corporation (or four directors in the event that they exercise their Board
Expansion Right) (including any Additional Series B Directors, the “Series B Directors”), and the
holders of record of the shares of Common Stock and Series B Preferred Stock, voting together,
shall be entitled to elect three directors of the Corporation. Except as otherwise required by
law, any director elected as provided in the preceding sentences may be removed without cause by,
and only by, the affirmative vote of the holders of the shares of the class or series of capital
stock entitled to elect such director or directors, given either at a special meeting of such
stockholders duly called for that purpose or pursuant to a written consent of stockholders. If the
holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock or Common Stock, as the case may be, fail to elect a
sufficient number of directors to fill all directorships for which they are entitled to elect
directors, voting exclusively and as a separate class, pursuant to the first sentence of this
Subsection 3.2, then any directorship not so filled shall remain vacant until such time as the
holders of the Series B Preferred Stock or Common Stock, as the case may be, elect a person to fill
such directorship by vote or written consent in lieu of a meeting; and no such directorship may be
filled by stockholders of the Corporation other than by the stockholders of the Corporation that
are entitled to elect a person to fill such directorship, voting exclusively and as a separate
class. The holders of record of the shares of Common Stock and of any other class or
series of voting stock (including the Series B Preferred Stock), exclusively and voting together as
a single class, shall be entitled to elect the balance of the total number of directors of the
Corporation. At any meeting held for the purpose of electing a director, the presence in person or
by proxy of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the class or series entitled to
elect such director shall constitute a quorum for the purpose of electing such director. Except as
otherwise provided in this Subsection 3.2, a vacancy in any directorship filled by the holders of
any class or series shall be filled only by vote or written consent in lieu of a meeting of the
holders of such class or series or by all remaining Directors.
3.3 Series B Preferred Stock Protective Provisions. In addition to any other consent
required by law, at any time when shares of Series B Preferred Stock and/or Redemption Notes are
outstanding, the Corporation shall not, either directly or indirectly by amendment, merger,
consolidation or otherwise, do any of the following without the written consent or affirmative vote
of the holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock (including
any Unredeemed Shares (as defined in Subsection 6.1) as if held instead of Redemption
Notes), given in writing or by vote at a meeting, consenting or voting (as the case may be)
separately as a class:
(a) amend, alter or repeal any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation (including the
Certificate of Designations) or Bylaws of the Corporation;
(b) create, or authorize the creation of, or issue or obligate itself to issue shares of, any
additional class or series of capital stock pari passu or senior to the Series B Preferred Stock or
increase or decrease the authorized number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock or Common Stock;
6
(c) enter into, or effect, a merger, consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of the
assets of the Corporation (including a Deemed Liquidation) or otherwise liquidate, dissolve or
wind-up the business and affairs of the Corporation;
(d) declare or pay any dividend on the Common Stock or other junior securities;
(e) alter or change the rights, preferences, privileges or restrictions of the shares of the
Series B Preferred Stock (whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise);
(f) redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire (or permit any subsidiary to purchase or redeem),
any shares of capital stock of the Corporation other than (i) the repurchase of shares of Common
Stock pursuant to a written benefit plan or employment or consulting agreement (approved by the
Board of Directors), (ii) the repurchase of any equity securities in connection with the
Corporation’s right of first offer pursuant to an agreement executed by the Corporation or (iii)
the cash payment for fractional shares upon the conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock into
shares of Common Stock;
(g) increase or decrease the authorized number of directors constituting the Board of
Directors;
(h) approve any sale, license or other transfer of any intellectual property of the
Corporation, other than licenses made in the ordinary course of the Corporation’s business;
(i) approve material changes to the Corporation’s business plan; or
(j) amend the Investor Rights Agreement, the Voting Agreement or the Right of First Refusal
and Co-Sale Agreement.
The foregoing shall be without limitation to any approvals required under law by the Board of
Directors.
3.4 The Corporation will not permit any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries to take any of
the actions specified in Section 3.3, other than payment of dividends to the direct or indirect
subsidiaries’ parent entity, absent the written consent or affirmative vote of the holders of a
majority of the then outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock (including any Unredeemed
Shares as if held instead of Redemption Notes), given in writing or by vote at a meeting,
consenting or voting (as the case may be) separately as a class.
4. Optional Conversion.
The holders of the Series B Preferred Stock shall have conversion rights as follows (the
“Conversion Rights”):
4.1 Right to Convert. Each share of Series B Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at
the option of the holder thereof, at any time and from time to time, and without
7
the payment of additional consideration by the holder thereof, into such number of fully paid
and nonassessable shares of Common Stock as is determined by dividing the Series B Original Issue
Price by the Series B Conversion Price (as defined in the following sentence) in effect at the time
of conversion. The “Series B Conversion Price” shall initially be equal to $2.25, so initially
each share of Series B Preferred Stock (if convertible on the date hereof) would be convertible
into two and two-thirds shares of Common Stock. Such initial Series B Conversion Price, and the
rate at which shares of Series B Preferred Stock may be converted into shares of Common Stock,
shall be subject to adjustment as provided below.
4.2 Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon
conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock. In lieu of any fractional shares to which the holder
would otherwise be entitled, the Corporation shall pay cash equal to such fraction multiplied by
the fair market value of a share of Common Stock as determined in good faith by the Board of
Directors of the Corporation. Whether or not fractional shares would be issuable upon such
conversion shall be determined on the basis of the total number of shares of Series B Preferred
Stock the holder is at the time converting into Common Stock and the aggregate number of shares of
Common Stock issuable upon such conversion.
4.3 No Conversion. For so long as the shares of Common Stock remain registered
pursuant to Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange
Act”), and for a period of 61 days thereafter, the number of shares of Common Stock that may be
acquired by any holder upon any conversion of Series B Preferred Stock (or otherwise in respect of
the Series B Preferred Stock) shall be limited to the extent necessary to ensure that, following
such conversion (or other issuance), the total number of shares of Common Stock then beneficially
owned by all stockholders and their respective Affiliates and any other Persons whose beneficial
ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with the stockholder’s for purposes of Section 13(d)
of the Exchange Act (including, without limitation, any other members of any “group” (within the
meaning of Rule 13d-5(b) promulgated under the Exchange Act), does not exceed 4.999% of the total
number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock (including for such purpose the shares of
Common Stock issuable upon such conversion); provided, however, that this Section
4.3 shall terminate and be of no further force and effect upon the first to occur of (i) June 1,
2008, (ii) such earlier date as the Company shall have no class of securities registered under
Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act, and (iii) the consummation of a Qualified IPO, or any voluntary
or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, or any Deemed Liquidation
Event. Each delivery of a notice of conversion by a holder of Series B Preferred Stock will
constitute a representation by such holder that it has evaluated the limitation set forth in this
paragraph and determined that issuance of the full number of shares of Common Stock requested in
such notice of conversion is permitted under this paragraph. For such purposes, beneficial
ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules
and regulations promulgated thereunder.
4.4 Mechanics of Conversion.
4.4.1 Notice of Conversion. In order for a holder of Series B Preferred Stock to
voluntarily convert shares of Series B Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock, such holder
shall surrender the certificate or certificates for such shares of Series B Preferred
8
Stock (or, if such registered holder alleges that such certificate has been lost, stolen or
destroyed, a lost certificate affidavit and agreement reasonably acceptable to the Corporation to
indemnify the Corporation against any claim that may be made against the Corporation on account of
the alleged loss, theft or destruction of such certificate), at the office of the transfer agent
for the Series B Preferred Stock (or at the principal office of the Corporation if the Corporation
serves as its own transfer agent), together with written notice that such holder elects to convert
all or any number of the shares of the Series B Preferred Stock represented by such certificate or
certificates and, if applicable, any event on which such conversion is contingent. Such notice
shall state such holder’s name or the names of the nominees in which such holder wishes the
certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock to be issued. If required by the
Corporation, certificates surrendered for conversion shall be endorsed or accompanied by a written
instrument or instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Corporation, duly executed by
the registered holder or his, her or its attorney duly authorized in writing. The close of
business on the date of receipt by the transfer agent (or by the Corporation if the Corporation
serves as its own transfer agent) of such certificates (or lost certificate affidavit and
agreement) and notice shall be the time of conversion (the “Conversion Time”), and the shares of
Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the shares represented by such certificate shall be deemed
to be outstanding of record as of such date. The Corporation shall, as soon as practicable after
the Conversion Time, issue and deliver to such holder of Series B Preferred Stock, or to his, her
or its nominees, a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock
issuable upon such conversion in accordance with the provisions hereof, a certificate for the
number (if any) of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock represented by the surrendered
certificate that were not converted into Common Stock, and cash as provided in Subsection
4.2 in lieu of any fraction of a share of Common Stock otherwise issuable upon such conversion
and payment of any declared but unpaid dividends on the shares of Series B Preferred Stock
converted.
4.4.2 Reservation of Shares. The Corporation shall at all times when the Series B
Preferred Stock shall be outstanding, reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued
capital stock, for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock, such
number of its duly authorized shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to
effect the conversion of all outstanding Series B Preferred Stock; and if at any time the number of
authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of
all then outstanding shares of the Series B Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall take such
corporate action as may be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock
to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes, including, without limitation,
engaging in best efforts to obtain the requisite stockholder approval of any necessary amendment to
the Certificate of Incorporation. Before taking any action which would cause an adjustment
reducing the Series B Conversion Price below the then par value of the shares of Common Stock
issuable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock, the Corporation will take any corporate
action which may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary in order that the Corporation may
validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock at such adjusted
Series B Conversion Price.
4.4.3 Effect of Conversion. All shares of Series B Preferred Stock which shall have
been surrendered for conversion as herein provided shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding and
all rights with respect to such shares shall immediately cease and
9
terminate at the Conversion Time, except only the right of the holders thereof to receive
shares of Common Stock in exchange therefor and to receive payment of any dividends declared but
unpaid thereon and payment of any fractional shares. Any shares of Series B Preferred Stock so
converted shall be retired and cancelled and may not be reissued as shares of such series, and the
Corporation may thereafter take such appropriate action (without the need for stockholder action)
as may be necessary to reduce the authorized number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock
accordingly.
4.4.4 No Further Adjustment. Upon any such conversion, no adjustment to the Series B
Conversion Price shall be made for any declared but unpaid dividends on the Series B Preferred
Stock surrendered for conversion or on the Common Stock delivered upon conversion.
4.4.5 Taxes. The Corporation shall pay any and all issue and other similar taxes that
may be payable in respect of any issuance or delivery of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of
shares of Series B Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 4. The Corporation shall not,
however, be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the
issuance and delivery of shares of Common Stock in a name other than that in which the shares of
Series B Preferred Stock so converted were registered, and no such issuance or delivery shall be
made unless and until the person or entity requesting such issuance has paid to the Corporation the
amount of any such tax or has established, to the satisfaction of the Corporation, that such tax
has been paid.
4.5 Adjustments to Series B Conversion Price for Diluting Issues.

affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the
then outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock,
given in writing or by vote at a meeting, consenting or
voting (as the case may be) separately as a class. |
4.5.2 No Adjustment of Series B Conversion Price. No adjustment in the Series B
Conversion Price shall be made as the result of the issuance or deemed issuance of Additional
Shares of Common Stock if the Corporation receives written notice from the holders of at least a
majority of the then outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock agreeing that no such
adjustment shall be made as the result of the issuance or deemed issuance of such Additional Shares
of Common Stock.
4.5.3 Deemed Issue of Additional Shares of Common Stock.
(a) If the Corporation at any time or from time to time after the Series B Original Issue Date
shall issue any Options or Convertible Securities (excluding Options or Convertible Securities
which are themselves Exempted Securities) or shall fix a record date for the determination of
holders of any class of securities entitled to receive any such Options or Convertible Securities,
then the maximum number of shares of Common Stock (as set forth in the instrument relating thereto,
assuming the satisfaction of any conditions to exercisability, convertibility or exchangeability
but without regard to any provision contained
11
therein for a subsequent adjustment of such number) issuable upon the exercise of such Options
or, in the case of Convertible Securities and Options therefor, the conversion or exchange of such
Convertible Securities, shall be deemed to be Additional Shares of Common Stock issued as of the
time of such issue or, in case such a record date shall have been fixed, as of the close of
business on such record date.
(b) If the terms of any Option or Convertible Security, the issuance of which resulted in an
adjustment to the Series B Conversion Price pursuant to the terms of Subsection 4.5.4, are
revised as a result of an amendment to such terms or any other adjustment pursuant to the
provisions of such Option or Convertible Security (but excluding automatic adjustments to such
terms pursuant to anti-dilution or similar provisions of such Option or Convertible Security) to
provide for either (1) any increase or decrease in the number of shares of Common Stock issuable
upon the exercise, conversion and/or exchange of any such Option or Convertible Security or (2) any
increase or decrease in the consideration payable to the Corporation upon such exercise, conversion
and/or exchange, then, effective upon such increase or decrease becoming effective, the Series B
Conversion Price computed upon the original issue of such Option or Convertible Security (or upon
the occurrence of a record date with respect thereto) shall be readjusted to such Series B
Conversion Price as would have obtained had such revised terms been in effect upon the original
date of issuance of such Option or Convertible Security. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no
readjustment pursuant to this clause (b) shall have the effect of increasing the Series B
Conversion Price to an amount which exceeds the lower of (i) the Series B Conversion Price in
effect immediately prior to the original adjustment made as a result of the issuance of such Option
or Convertible Security, or (ii) the Series B Conversion Price that would have resulted from any
issuances of Additional Shares of Common Stock (other than deemed issuances of Additional Shares of
Common Stock as a result of the issuance of such Option or Convertible Security) between the
original adjustment date and such readjustment date.
(c) If the terms of any Option or Convertible Security (excluding Options or Convertible
Securities which are themselves Exempted Securities), the issuance of which did not result in an
adjustment to the Series B Conversion Price pursuant to the terms of Subsection 4.5.4
(either because the consideration per share (determined pursuant to Subsection 4.5.5) of
the Additional Shares of Common Stock subject thereto was equal to or greater than the Series B
Conversion Price then in effect, or because such Option or Convertible Security was issued before
the Series B Original Issue Date), are revised after the Series B Original Issue Date as a result
of an amendment to such terms or any other adjustment pursuant to the provisions of such Option or
Convertible Security (but excluding automatic adjustments to such terms pursuant to anti-dilution
or similar provisions of such Option or Convertible Security) to provide for either (1) any
increase or decrease in the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise, conversion
or exchange of any such Option or Convertible Security or (2) any increase or decrease in the
consideration payable to the Corporation upon such exercise, conversion or exchange, then such
Option or Convertible Security, as so amended or adjusted, and the Additional Shares of Common
Stock subject thereto (determined in the manner provided in Subsection 4.5.3(a)) shall be
deemed to have been issued effective upon such increase or decrease becoming effective.
(d) Upon the expiration or termination of any unexercised
12
Option or unconverted or unexchanged Convertible Security (or portion thereof) which resulted
(either upon its original issuance or upon a revision of its terms) in an adjustment to the Series
B Conversion Price pursuant to the terms of Subsection 4.5.4, the Series B Conversion Price
shall be readjusted to such Series B Conversion Price as would have obtained had such Option or
Convertible Security (or portion thereof) never been issued.
(e) If the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise, conversion and/or
exchange of any Option or Convertible Security, or the consideration payable to the Corporation
upon such exercise, conversion and/or exchange, is calculable at the time such Option or
Convertible Security is issued or amended but is subject to adjustment based upon subsequent
events, any adjustment to the Series B Conversion Price provided for in this Subsection
4.5.3 shall be effected at the time of such issuance or amendment based on such number of
shares or amount of consideration without regard to any provisions for subsequent adjustments (and
any subsequent adjustments shall be treated as provided in clauses (b) and (c) of this
Subsection 4.5.3). If the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise,
conversion and/or exchange of any Option or Convertible Security, or the consideration payable to
the Corporation upon such exercise, conversion and/or exchange, cannot be calculated at all at the
time such Option or Convertible Security is issued or amended, any adjustment to the Series B
Conversion Price that would result under the terms of this Subsection 4.5.3 at the time of
such issuance or amendment shall instead be effected at the time such number of shares and/or
amount of consideration is first calculable (even if subject to subsequent adjustments), assuming
for purposes of calculating such adjustment to the Series B Conversion Price that such issuance or
amendment took place at the time such calculation can first be made.
4.5.4 Adjustment of Series B Conversion Price Upon Issuance of Additional Shares of Common
Stock. In the event the Corporation shall at any time after the Series B Original Issue Date
issue Additional Shares of Common Stock (including Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to be
issued pursuant to Subsection 4.5.3), without consideration or for a consideration per
share less than the Series B Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issue, then the
Series B Conversion Price shall be reduced, concurrently with such issue, to a price (calculated to
the nearest one-hundredth of a cent) determined in accordance with the following formula:
CP2 = CP1* (A + B) ÷ (A + C).
For purposes of the foregoing formula, the following definitions shall apply:
(a) “CP2” shall mean the Series B Conversion Price in effect immediately after such
issue of Additional Shares of Common Stock
(b) “CP1” shall mean the Series B Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to
such issue of Additional Shares of Common Stock;
(c) “A” shall mean the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such
issue of Additional Shares of Common Stock (treating for this purpose as outstanding all shares of
Common Stock issuable upon exercise of Options
13
outstanding immediately prior to such issue or upon conversion or exchange of Convertible
Securities (including the Series B Preferred Stock) outstanding (assuming exercise of any
outstanding Options therefor) immediately prior to such issue);
(d) “B” shall mean the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued if such
Additional Shares of Common Stock had been issued at a price per share equal to CP1
(determined by dividing the aggregate consideration received by the Corporation in respect of such
issue by CP1); and
(e) “C” shall mean the number of such Additional Shares of Common Stock issued in such
transaction.
4.5.5 Determination of Consideration. For purposes of this Subsection 4.5,
the consideration received by the Corporation for the issue of any Additional Shares of Common
Stock shall be computed as follows:
(a) Cash and Property: Such consideration shall:
|
(i) |
|
insofar as it
consists of cash, be computed at the aggregate amount of
cash received by the Corporation, excluding amounts paid
or payable for accrued interest and before deducting any
reasonable discounts, commissions or other expenses
allowed, paid or incurred by the Corporation for any
underwriting or otherwise in connection with such
issuance; |
|
|
(ii) |
|
insofar as it
consists of property other than cash, be computed at the
fair market value thereof at the time of such issue, as
determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of
the Corporation; provided, however, that
if the amount involved could reasonably be determined to
exceed $100,000 and the holders of a majority of the
then outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock,
voting together as a single class, notify the Board of
Directors within fifteen (15) days after receiving from
the Corporation written notification of the
determination of such fair market value that they
disagree with such determination, the Board of
Directors, subject to the approval by an affirmative
vote of the holders of a majority of the then
outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock, given in
writing or by vote at a meeting, consenting or voting
(as the case may be) separately as a class, shall agree
upon a fair market value of the relevant property; and |
14
|
(iii) |
|
in the event
Additional Shares of Common Stock are issued together
with other shares or securities or other assets of the
Corporation for consideration which covers both, be the
proportion of such consideration so received, computed
as provided in clauses (i) and (ii)
above, as determined in good faith by the Board of
Directors of the Corporation. |
(b) Options and Convertible Securities. The consideration per share received by the
Corporation for Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued pursuant to
Subsection 4.5.3, relating to Options and Convertible Securities, shall be determined by
dividing
|
(i) |
|
the total amount,
if any, received or receivable by the Corporation as
consideration for the issue of such Options or
Convertible Securities, plus the minimum aggregate
amount of additional consideration (as set forth in the
instruments relating thereto, without regard to any
provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment
of such consideration) payable to the Corporation upon
the exercise of such Options or the conversion or
exchange of such Convertible Securities, or in the case
of Options for Convertible Securities, the exercise of
such Options for Convertible Securities and the
conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities,
by |
|
|
(ii) |
|
the maximum
number of shares of Common Stock (as set forth in the
instruments relating thereto, without regard to any
provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment
of such number) issuable upon the exercise of such
Options or the conversion or exchange of such
Convertible Securities, or in the case of Options for
Convertible Securities, the exercise of such Options for
Convertible Securities and the conversion or exchange of
such Convertible Securities. |
4.5.6 Multiple Closing Dates. In the event the Corporation shall issue on more than
one date Additional Shares of Common Stock that are a part of one transaction or a series of
related transactions and that would result in an adjustment to the Series B Conversion Price
pursuant to the terms of Subsection 4.5.4 then, upon the final such issuance, the Series B
Conversion Price shall be readjusted to give effect to all such issuances as if they occurred on
the date of the first such issuance (and without giving effect to any additional adjustments as a
result of any such subsequent issuances within such period).
15
4.6 Adjustment for Stock Splits and Combinations. If the Corporation shall at any
time or from time to time after the Series B Original Issue Date effect a subdivision of the
outstanding Common Stock, the Series B Conversion Price in effect immediately before that
subdivision shall be proportionately 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 in the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. If the Corporation shall
at any time or from time to time after the Series B Original Issue Date combine the outstanding
shares of Common Stock, the Series B Conversion Price in effect immediately before the combination
shall be proportionately 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 the
aggregate number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Any adjustment under this subsection shall
become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes
effective.
4.7 Adjustment for Certain Dividends and Distributions. In the event the Corporation
at any time or from time to time after the Series B Original Issue Date shall make or issue, or fix
a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or
other distribution payable on the Common Stock in additional shares of Common Stock, then and in
each such event the Series B Conversion Price in effect immediately before such event shall be
decreased as of the time of such issuance or, in the event such a record date shall have been
fixed, as of the close of business on such record date, by multiplying the Series B Conversion
Price then in effect by a fraction:
|
(1) |
|
the numerator of which shall
be the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and
outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or
the close of business on such record date, and |
|
|
(2) |
|
the denominator of which
shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and
outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or
the close of business on such record date plus the number of
shares of Common Stock issuable in payment of such dividend or
distribution. |
Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) if such record date shall have been fixed and such dividend is
not fully paid or if such distribution is not fully made on the date fixed therefor, the Series B
Conversion Price shall be recomputed accordingly as of the close of business on such record date
and thereafter the Series B Conversion Price shall be adjusted pursuant to this subsection as of
the time of actual payment of such dividends or distributions; and (b) that no such adjustment
shall be made if the holders of Series B Preferred Stock simultaneously receive a dividend or other
distribution of shares of Common Stock in a number equal to the number of shares of Common Stock as
they would have received if all outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock had been converted
into Common Stock on the date of such event.
4.8 Adjustments for Other Dividends and Distributions. In the event the Corporation
at any time or from time to time after the Series B Original Issue Date shall make or issue, or fix
a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive,
16
a dividend or other distribution payable in securities of the Corporation (other than a
distribution of shares of Common Stock in respect of outstanding shares of Common Stock) or in
other property and the provisions of Section 1 do not apply to such dividend or
distribution, then and in each such event the holders of Series B Preferred Stock shall receive,
simultaneously with the distribution to the holders of Common Stock, a dividend or other
distribution of such securities or other property in an amount equal to the amount of such
securities or other property as they would have received if all outstanding shares of Series B
Preferred Stock had been converted into Common Stock on the date of such event.
4.9 Adjustment for Merger or Reorganization, etc. Subject to the provisions of
Subsection 2.3, if there shall occur any reorganization, recapitalization,
reclassification, consolidation or merger involving the Corporation in which the Common Stock (but
not the Series B Preferred Stock) is converted into or exchanged for securities, cash or other
property (other than a transaction covered by Subsections 4.5, 4.7 or 4.8),
then, following any such reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, consolidation or
merger, each share of Series B Preferred Stock shall thereafter be convertible in lieu of the
Common Stock into which it was convertible prior to such event into the kind and amount of
securities, cash or other property which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock of the
Corporation issuable upon conversion of one share of Series B Preferred Stock immediately prior to
such reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, consolidation or merger would have been
entitled to receive pursuant to such transaction; and, in such case, appropriate adjustment (as
determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Corporation) shall be made in the
application of the provisions in this Section 4 with respect to the rights and interests
thereafter of the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock, to the end that the provisions set forth
in this Section 4 (including provisions with respect to changes in and other adjustments of
the Series B Conversion Price) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as reasonably may be, in
relation to any securities or other property thereafter deliverable upon the conversion of the
Series B Preferred Stock.
4.10 Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or
readjustment of the Series B Conversion Price pursuant to this Section 4, the Corporation
at its expense shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable but in any event not later than 10 days
thereafter, compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and furnish
to each holder of Series B Preferred Stock a certificate setting forth such adjustment or
readjustment (including the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property into which the
Series B Preferred Stock is convertible) and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment
or readjustment is based. The Corporation shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable after the
written request at any time of any holder of Series B Preferred Stock (but in any event not later
than 10 days thereafter), furnish or cause to be furnished to such holder a certificate setting
forth (i) the Series B Conversion Price then in effect, and (ii) the number of shares of Common
Stock and the amount, if any, of other securities, cash or property which then would be received
upon the conversion of Series B Preferred Stock.
4.11 Notice of Record Date. In the event:
(a) the Corporation shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock (or other capital
stock or securities at the time issuable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock) for the
purpose of entitling or enabling them to receive any dividend or
17
other distribution, or to receive any right to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital
stock of any class or any other securities, or to receive any other security; or
(b) of any capital reorganization of the Corporation, any reclassification of the Common Stock
of the Corporation, or any Deemed Liquidation Event; or
(c) of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Corporation,
then, and in each such case, the Corporation will send or cause to be sent to the holders of the
Series B Preferred Stock a notice specifying, as the case may be, (i) the record date for such
dividend, distribution or right, and the amount and character of such dividend, distribution or
right, or (ii) the effective date on which such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation,
merger, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is proposed to take place, and the time,
if any is to be fixed, as of which the holders of record of Common Stock (or such other capital
stock or securities at the time issuable upon the conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock) shall
be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock (or such other capital stock or securities)
for securities or other property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification,
consolidation, merger, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up, and the amount per share
and character of such exchange applicable to the Series B Preferred Stock and the Common Stock.
Such notice shall be sent at least 10 days prior to the record date or effective date for the event
specified in such notice.
5. Mandatory Conversion.
5.1 Trigger Events. Upon either (a) the closing of the sale of shares of Common Stock
to the public at a price of at least $5.625 per share (subject to appropriate adjustment in the
event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination or other similar recapitalization with
respect to the Common Stock), in a firm-commitment underwritten public offering pursuant to an
effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, resulting in at
least $25,000,000 of gross proceeds to the Corporation (a
“Qualified IPO”) or (b) the date and time, or the occurrence of an event, specified by vote or
written consent of the holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series B
Preferred Stock (the time of such closing or the date and time specified or the time of the event
specified in such vote or written consent is referred to herein as the “Mandatory Conversion
Time”), (i) all outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall automatically be converted
into shares of Common Stock, at the then effective conversion rate and (ii) such shares may not be
reissued by the Corporation.
5.2 Procedural Requirements. All holders of record of shares of Series B Preferred
Stock shall be sent written notice of the Mandatory Conversion Time and the place designated for
mandatory conversion of all such shares of Series B Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section
5. Such notice need not be sent in advance of the occurrence of the Mandatory Conversion Time.
Upon receipt of such notice, each holder of shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall surrender
his, her or its certificate or certificates for all such shares (or, if such holder alleges that
such certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed, a lost certificate affidavit and agreement
reasonably acceptable to the Corporation to indemnify the Corporation against any
18
claim that may be made against the Corporation on account of the alleged loss, theft or
destruction of such certificate) to the Corporation at the place designated in such notice. If so
required by the Corporation, certificates surrendered for conversion shall be endorsed or
accompanied by written instrument or instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the
Corporation, duly executed by the registered holder or by his, her or its attorney duly authorized
in writing. All rights with respect to the Series B Preferred Stock converted pursuant to
Section 5.1, including the rights, if any, to receive notices and vote (other than as a
holder of Common Stock), will terminate at the Mandatory Conversion Time (notwithstanding the
failure of the holder or holders thereof to surrender the certificates at or prior to such time),
except only the rights of the holders thereof, upon surrender of their certificate or certificates
(or lost certificate affidavit and agreement) therefor, to receive the items provided for in the
next sentence of this Subsection 5.2. As soon as practicable after the Mandatory
Conversion Time and the surrender of the certificate or certificates (or lost certificate affidavit
and agreement) for Series B Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall issue and deliver to such
holder, or to his, her or its nominees, a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares
of Common Stock issuable on such conversion in accordance with the provisions hereof, together with
cash as provided in Subsection 4.2 in lieu of any fraction of a share of Common Stock
otherwise issuable upon such conversion and the payment of any declared but unpaid dividends on the
shares of Series B Preferred Stock converted. Such converted Series B Preferred Stock shall be
retired and cancelled and may not be reissued as shares of such series, and the Corporation may
thereafter take such appropriate action (without the need for stockholder action) as may be
necessary to reduce the authorized number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock accordingly.
6. Redemption.
6.1 Redemption. At any time on or after November 1, 2014, the holders of the then
outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock may require the Corporation to redeem all or a
portion of their shares of Series B Preferred Stock out of funds lawfully available therefor at a
price equal to the Series B Original Issue Price plus any Series B Dividends accrued but unpaid
thereon (the “Redemption Price”). Within five business days of receipt of a Redemption Notice, the
Corporation shall provide written notice (the “Corporation Notice”) to all holders of Series B
Preferred Stock stating that the Corporation has received a Redemption Notice and inviting each
such holder to require redemption of all or a portion of their shares of Series B Preferred Stock
by delivering notice to the Corporation within twenty business days of receipt of a Corporation
Notice. The Corporation shall within 90 days after receipt by the Corporation of the Redemption
Notice (the “Redemption Date”) be required to redeem all shares of Series B Preferred Stock
requested to be redeemed. On the Redemption Date, the Corporation shall redeem all shares of
Series B Preferred Stock for which a request for redemption has been made; provided that if the
Corporation does not have sufficient funds legally available to redeem on the Redemption Date all
such shares, the Corporation shall redeem a pro rata portion of each holder’s redeemable shares of
such Series B Preferred Stock (requested to be redeemed) out of funds legally available therefor,
based on the respective amounts which would otherwise be payable in respect of the shares to be
redeemed if the legally available funds were sufficient to redeem all such shares, and shall redeem
the remaining shares by issuance of a secured note (a “Redemption Note”), which shall be secured by
all of the assets of the Corporation (and senior to any other indebtedness of the Corporation other
than indebtedness owed to a banking or similar institution which is senior to the Redemption
Notes); provided further that if the legally
19
available funds are not sufficient to redeem all of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock
that otherwise would have been redeemed then any holder of Series B Preferred Stock who so elected
to redeem may in its sole and absolute discretion elect to receive a Redemption Note, in lieu of a
cash payment, for the entire amount of proceeds otherwise payable with respect to such shares that
were to be redeemed (the shares that have not been redeemed for cash, after giving effect to the
foregoing proviso, are referred to as the “Unredeemed Shares”). For purposes of any consent or
approval required under the Certificate of Determination, including Subsections 3.3 and
3.4, Unredeemed Shares shall be deemed to be outstanding. Each Redemption Note shall accrue
interest at a rate of 8% per annum (whether or not declared), which shall compound annually. The
Corporation shall pay the Redemption Notes, pro rata among the holders thereof based on the balance
then outstanding, immediately out of funds legally available therefore. In the event of any
liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation or any Deemed Liquidation Event while the
Redemptions Notes are outstanding, holders of the Redemption Notes shall be entitled to receive the
greater of (i) an amount that is not less than what they would have otherwise received had they
held all Unredeemed Shares of Series B Preferred Stock at the time of the Deemed Liquidation Event,
and (ii) the face value of the Redemption Notes (together with accrued interest thereof), such
amount to be paid pari passu with the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock in accordance with
Subsection 2.1.
6.2 Surrender of Certificates; Payment. On or before the Redemption Date, each holder
of shares of Series B Preferred Stock to be redeemed on the Redemption Date, unless such holder has
exercised his, her or its right to convert such shares as provided in Section 4, shall
surrender the certificate or certificates representing such shares (or, if such registered holder
alleges that such certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed, a lost certificate affidavit and
agreement reasonably acceptable to the Corporation to indemnify the Corporation against any claim
that may be made against the Corporation on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of
such certificate) to the Corporation, in the manner and at the place designated in the Redemption
Notice, and thereupon the Redemption Price for such shares shall be payable to the order of the
person whose name appears on such certificate or certificates as the owner thereof. In the event
less than all of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock represented by a certificate are redeemed
(including shares of Series B Preferred Stock for which the Redemption Price has not yet been
paid), a new certificate representing the unredeemed shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall
promptly be issued to such holder.
6.3 Rights Subsequent to Redemption. If the Redemption Notice shall have been duly
given, and if on the applicable Redemption Date the Redemption Price payable upon redemption of the
shares of Series B Preferred Stock to be redeemed on such Redemption Date is paid or tendered for
payment or deposited with an independent payment agent so as to be available therefor, then
notwithstanding that the certificates evidencing any of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock so
called for redemption shall not have been surrendered, dividends with respect to such shares of
Series B Preferred Stock shall cease to accrue after such Redemption Date and all rights with
respect to such shares shall forthwith after the Redemption Date terminate, except only the right
of the holders to receive the Redemption Price without interest upon surrender of their certificate
or certificates therefor.
6.4 Determination of Legally Available Funds. In any determination of funds legally
available for the redemption of shares pursuant to this Section 6, the Corporation shall at
20
all times act in good faith in the determination of such amount including, without limitation,
retaining proper valuation experts and revaluing the Corporation’s statutory surplus, if
appropriate.
6.5 No Other Redemption. In no event shall the Corporation redeem any other of its
securities while any shares of Series B Preferred Stock or Redemption Notes are outstanding.
7. Redeemed or Otherwise Acquired Shares. Any shares of Series B Preferred Stock that
are redeemed or otherwise acquired by the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries shall be
automatically and immediately cancelled and retired and shall not be reissued, sold or transferred.
Neither the Corporation nor any of its subsidiaries may exercise any voting or other rights
granted to the holders of Series B Preferred Stock following redemption.
8. Waiver. Any of the rights, powers, preferences and other terms of the Series B
Preferred Stock set forth herein may be waived on behalf of all holders of Series B Preferred Stock
by the affirmative written consent or vote of the holders of at least a majority of the shares of
Series B Preferred Stock then outstanding.
9. Notices. Any notice required or permitted by the provisions of this Certificate of
Determination to be given to a holder of shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall be mailed,
postage prepaid, to the post office address last shown on the records of the Corporation, or given
by electronic communication in compliance with the provisions of the General Corporation Law, and
shall be deemed sent upon such mailing or electronic transmission.

1. General. The voting, dividend and liquidation rights of the holders of the Common
Stock are subject to and qualified by the rights, powers and preferences of the holders of the
Preferred Stock set forth herein; provided, however, that, except as otherwise required by law,
holders of Common Stock, as such, shall not be entitled to vote on any amendment to the Certificate
of Incorporation that relates solely to the terms of one or more outstanding series of Preferred
Stock if the holders of such affected Series are entitled, either separately or together with the
holders of one or more other such series, to vote thereon pursuant to the Certificate of
Incorporation or pursuant to the General Corporation Law. The number of authorized shares of
Common Stock may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares thereof then
outstanding) by the affirmative vote of the holders of shares of capital stock of the Corporation
representing a majority of the votes represented by all outstanding shares of capital stock of the
Corporation entitled to vote, irrespective of the provisions of Section 242(b)(2) of the General
Corporation Law.
2. Voting. The holders of the Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share of
Common Stock held at all meetings of stockholders (and written actions in lieu of meetings). There
shall be no cumulative voting.
B. PREFERRED STOCK
1. Issuance and Reissuance.
Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series, each of such series to
consist of such number of shares and to have such terms, rights, powers and preferences, and the
qualifications and limitations with respect thereto, as stated or expressed herein.
C. SERIES B PREFERRED STOCK
5,000,000 shares of the authorized and unissued Preferred Stock of the Corporation are hereby
designated “Series B Preferred Stock” with the following rights, preferences, powers,
privileges and restrictions, qualifications and limitations. Unless otherwise indicated, references
to “Sections” or “Subsections” in this Part C of this Article Fourth refer to sections and
subsections of Part C of this Article Fourth.
1. Dividends.
The holders of outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive
dividends, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors, out of any assets at the time
legally available therefore. The right to receive dividends on such shares shall be cumulative,
and shall accrue to holders of Series B Preferred Stock from day to day whether or not declared or
paid in any calendar year or other period. Such dividend shall accrue from the date of
2
issuance of
any shares of Series B Preferred Stock at a rate per annum of $0.48 per share of Series B Preferred
Stock (subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split,
combination or other similar recapitalization with respect to Series B Preferred Stock) (the
“Series B Dividend Preference”). Except as contemplated by the following sentence, the Series B
Dividend Preference shall only be paid in the event of (i) any voluntary or involuntary
liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, or Deemed Liquidation (as defined in
Subsection 2.3.1), (ii) upon any redemption pursuant to Section 6, or (iii) the closing of
the sale of shares of Common Stock to the public (but not including a Qualified IPO (as defined in
Section 5.1) that occurs within eighteen months of the date hereof). Further, the
Corporation shall not declare, pay or set aside any dividends on shares of any other class or
series of capital stock of the Corporation (other than dividends on shares of Common Stock payable
solely in shares of Common Stock) unless (i) the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock then
outstanding shall first receive the Series B Dividend Preference and (ii) after payment of the
Series B Dividend Preference the remainder of such dividends are declared or paid pro rata among
the holders of the Preferred Stock and Common Stock on a per share basis (as if all shares of
Preferred Stock had been converted into Common Stock immediately prior to the payment of such
dividends) (such amount payable to the holders of the Series B Preferred, the “Series B
Dividends”). At the option of each holder of Series B Preferred Stock, any Series B Dividends that
become payable hereunder shall be paid in either (i) cash or (ii) shares of Common Stock (based on
the then fair market value of the Common Stock, as determined in good faith by the Board of
Directors (including at least one Series B Director (as defined in Subsection 3.2), if then
serving on the Board of Directors) and the aggregate amount of the Series B Dividend payable to
such holder). The “Series B Original Issue Price” shall mean $6.00 per share, subject to
appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination or other
similar recapitalization with respect to the Series B Preferred Stock. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in the event that the Corporation determines, subject to Section 3.3 and without
limitation to Section 2, including Section 2.3, to distribute the proceeds (cash or
otherwise) resulting from any sale or other transfer of its securities or sale, license and/or
other transfer of its assets (other than any sale, license or other transfer of its assets
effected in the ordinary course of business of the Corporation for which the Corporation is not
required to obtain any consent pursuant to Section 3.3), the proceeds resulting therefrom
(including in respect of any ongoing payments, such as a royalty or milestone payment) shall be
distributed in accordance with Sections 2.1 and 2.2, and not this Section
1.
2. Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding Up; Certain Mergers, Consolidations and Asset
Sales.
2.1 Preferential Payments to Holders of Series B Preferred Stock. Subject to the
final sentence of this Subsection 2.1, in the event of any voluntary or involuntary
liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, or any Deemed Liquidation Event (as
defined in Subsection 2.3.1), the holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock then
outstanding shall be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Corporation available for
distribution to its stockholders before any payment shall be made to the holders of any other
shares of capital stock of the Company by reason of their ownership thereof, a cash amount per
share equal to the Series B Original Issue Price, plus any Series B Dividends accrued but unpaid
thereon. If upon any
3
such liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the assets of
the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders shall be insufficient to pay the
holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock the full amount to which they shall be entitled under
this Subsection 2.1, the holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall share ratably
in any distribution of the assets available for distribution in proportion to the respective
amounts which would otherwise be payable in respect of the shares held by them upon such
distribution if all amounts payable on or with respect to such shares were paid in full.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any payment payable pursuant to this Subsection 2.1 shall be
pari passu with any payment payable to the holders of Redemption Notes (as defined Subsection
6.1) pursuant to Subsection 6.1 upon any voluntary or involuntary liquidation,
dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, or any Deemed Liquidation Event.
2.2 Distribution of Remaining Assets. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary
liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, after the payment of all preferential
amounts required to be paid to the holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock pursuant to
Subsection 2.1, the remaining assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its
stockholders shall be distributed among the holders of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock and
Common Stock, pro rata based on the number of shares held by each such holder, treating for this
purpose all such securities as if they had been converted to Common Stock pursuant to the terms of
the Certificate of Incorporation immediately prior to such dissolution, liquidation or winding up
of the Corporation. The aggregate amount which a holder of a share of Series B Preferred Stock is
entitled to receive under Subsections 2.1 and 2.2 is hereinafter referred to as the
“Series B Liquidation Amount”; provided, however, if the Series B Liquidation Amount exceed the sum
of (x) $21.00 (subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split,
combination or other similar recapitalization with respect to the Series B Preferred Stock) per
share of Series B Preferred Stock plus (y) any Series B Dividends accrued but unpaid thereon
(determined on a per share basis) (the sum of (x) and (y), the “Liquidation Conversion Amount”),
then the holders of outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall instead receive the amount
such holder of Series B Preferred Stock would have received if the shares of Series B Preferred
Stock were converted to shares of Common Stock prior to the Liquidation (but in no event less than
the Liquidation Conversion Amount).
2.3 Deemed Liquidation Events.
2.3.1 Definition. Each of the following events shall be considered a “Deemed
Liquidation Event” unless the holders of sixty percent (60%) of the outstanding shares of Series B
Preferred Stock elect otherwise by written notice sent to the Corporation at least five (5) days
prior to the effective date of any such event:
(a) a merger or consolidation in which
|
(i) |
|
the Corporation
is a constituent party or |
|
|
(ii) |
|
a subsidiary of
the Corporation is a constituent party and the
Corporation issues shares of its capital stock pursuant to such merger or consolidation,
|
4
except any such merger or consolidation involving the Corporation or a subsidiary in which the
shares of capital stock of the Corporation outstanding immediately prior to such merger or
consolidation continue to represent, or are converted into or exchanged for shares of capital stock
that represent, immediately following such merger or consolidation, at least a majority, by voting
power, of the capital stock of (1) the surviving or resulting corporation or (2) if the surviving
or resulting corporation is a wholly owned subsidiary of another corporation immediately following
such merger or consolidation, the parent corporation of such surviving or resulting corporation; or
(b) the sale, lease, transfer, exclusive license or other disposition, in a single transaction
or series of related transactions, by the Corporation or any subsidiary of the Corporation of all
or substantially all the assets of the Corporation and its subsidiaries taken as a whole or the
sale or disposition (whether by merger or otherwise) of one or more subsidiaries of the Corporation
if substantially all of the assets of the Corporation and its subsidiaries taken as a whole are
held by such subsidiary or subsidiaries, except where such sale, lease, transfer, exclusive license
or other disposition is to a wholly owned subsidiary of the Corporation or where the holders of the
capital stock immediately prior to such disposition (as such) hold immediately following such
disposition at least a majority of the voting power and economic interest of the entity to whom
the assets were transferred; or
(c) any other transaction or series of related transactions in which at least 60% of the
equity or voting power of the capital stock of the Corporation is transferred.
2.3.2 Effecting a Deemed Liquidation Event. The Corporation shall not have the power
to effect a Deemed Liquidation Event unless (i) the agreement relating to such transaction provides
that the consideration payable to the stockholders of the Corporation shall be allocated among the
holders of capital stock of the Corporation in accordance with Subsections 2.1 and
2.2 or (ii) the holders of both (A) at least sixty percent (60%) of the then outstanding
shares of Series B Preferred Stock and (B) the aggregate principal amount of any then outstanding
Redemption Notes, specifically approve (whether at a duly called meeting of the Series B Preferred
Stockholders or by a valid written consent in lieu of a meeting) the allocation of such
consideration in a manner different from that provided in Subsections 2.1 and 2.2.
2.3.3 Amount Deemed Paid or Distributed. The amount deemed paid or distributed to the
holders of capital stock of the Corporation upon any such liquidation, dissolution or winding up of
the Corporation, or Deemed Liquidation Event, shall be the cash or the value of the property,
rights or securities paid or distributed to such holders by the Corporation or the acquiring
person, firm or other entity. The value of such property, rights or securities shall be determined
in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Corporation; provided, however, that
if the amount involved could reasonably be determined to exceed $100,000 and the holders of a
majority of the then outstanding shares of Series B Preferred
5
Stock, voting together as a single
class, notify the Board of Directors within fifteen (15) days after receiving from the Corporation
written notification of the determination of such fair market value that they disagree with such
determination, the Board of Directors and the holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares
of Series B Preferred Stock shall have thirty (30) days to agree upon a fair market value of the
relevant property. If, by the end of such thirty (30) day period no agreement is reached as to the
proper fair market value, the fair market value shall be undertaken by an independent appraiser to
be selected jointly by the Corporation and the holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares
of Series B Preferred Stock with the fees paid by the Corporation. Absent such an agreement, the
appraiser shall be selected by the American Arbitration Association. Any securities to be
distributed to stockholders in shall be valued as follows:
(i) Valuation of Securities Subject to Investment Letter. Securities
not subject to investment letter or other similar restrictions on free
marketability:
(a) if the securities are then traded on a national securities exchange or the
NASDAQ National Market (or similar national quotation system), then the value of the
securities shall be deemed to be the average of the closing prices of the securities
on such exchange or system for the ten (10) consecutive trading days ending five (5)
trading days prior to the distribution; and
(b) if the securities are actively traded over-the-counter, then the value of
the securities shall be deemed to be the average of the closing bid prices of the
securities for the ten (10) consecutive trading days ending five (5) trading days
prior to the distribution.
(i) Valuation of Securities Not Subject to Investment Letter. The
valuation of securities subject to investment letter or other restrictions on free
marketability (other than restrictions arising solely by virtue of a stockholder’s
status as an affiliate or former affiliate) shall be reduced by an appropriate
discount from the market value determined as above in Subsection 2.3.3 to
reflect the approximate fair market value thereof, as mutually determined by the
Board of Directors and the holders of at least a majority of the voting power of all
then outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock.
For the purposes of this Subsection 2.3, “trading day” shall mean any day
which the exchange or system on which the securities to be distributed are traded is open and
“closing prices” or “closing bid prices” shall be deemed to be: (i) for securities
traded primarily on the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange or NASDAQ, the last
reported trade price or sale price, as the case may be, at 4:00 p.m., New York time, on that day;
and (ii) for securities listed or traded on other exchanges, markets and systems, the market price
as of the end of the regular hours trading period that is generally accepted as such for such
exchange, market or system. If, after the date hereof, the benchmark times generally accepted in
the securities industry for determining the market price of a stock as of a given trading day shall
change from those set forth above, the fair market value shall be determined as of such other
generally accepted benchmark times.

3. Voting.
3.1 General. On any matter presented to the stockholders of the Corporation for their
action or consideration at any meeting of stockholders of the Corporation (or by written consent of
stockholders in lieu of meeting), each holder of outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock
shall be entitled to cast the number of votes equal to the number of whole shares of Common Stock
into which the shares of Series B Preferred Stock held by such holder are convertible as of the
record date for determining stockholders entitled to vote on such matter. Except as provided by
law or by the other provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation, holders of Series B Preferred
Stock shall vote together with the holders of Common Stock as a single class.
3.2 Election of Directors. The Board of Directors shall be composed of five members;
provided that at the election of holders of a majority of the outstanding Series B Preferred (the
“Board Expansion Right”), the Board of Directors shall be increased by two members (the “Additional
Series B Directors”), for a total of seven members. The holders of record of the shares of Series
B Preferred Stock, exclusively as a separate class, shall be entitled to elect two directors of the
Corporation (or four directors in the event that they exercise their Board Expansion Right)
(including any Additional Series B Directors, the “Series B Directors”), and the holders of record
of the shares of Common Stock and Series B Preferred Stock, voting together, shall be entitled to
elect three directors of the Corporation. Any director elected as provided in the preceding
sentences may be removed without cause by, and only by, the affirmative vote of the holders of the
shares of the class or series of capital stock entitled to elect such director or directors, given
either at a special meeting of such stockholders duly called for that purpose or pursuant to a
written consent of stockholders. If the holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock or Common
Stock, as the case may be, fail to elect a sufficient number of directors to fill all directorships
for which they are entitled to elect directors, voting exclusively and as a separate class,
pursuant to the first sentence of this Subsection 3.2, then any directorship not so filled
shall remain vacant until such time as the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock or Common Stock,
as the case may be, elect a person to fill such directorship by vote or written consent in lieu of
a meeting; and no such directorship may be filled by stockholders of the Corporation other than by
the stockholders of the Corporation that are entitled to elect a person to fill such directorship,
voting exclusively and as a separate class. The holders of record of the shares of Common Stock
and of any other class or series of voting stock (including the Series B Preferred Stock),
exclusively and voting together as a single class, shall be entitled to elect the balance of the
total number of directors of the Corporation. At any meeting held for the purpose of electing a
director, the presence in person or by proxy of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares
of the class or series entitled to elect such director shall constitute a quorum for the purpose of
electing such director. Except as otherwise provided in this Subsection 3.2, a vacancy in
any directorship filled by the holders of any class or series shall be filled only by vote or
written consent in lieu of a meeting of the holders of such class or series or by any remaining
director or directors elected by the holders of such class or series pursuant to this
Subsection 3.2.
7
3.3 Series B Preferred Stock Protective Provisions. In addition to any other consent
required by law, at any time when shares of Series B Preferred Stock and/or Redemption Notes are
outstanding, the Corporation shall not, either directly or indirectly by amendment, merger,
consolidation or otherwise, do any of the following without the written consent or affirmative vote
of the holders of sixty percent (60%) of the then outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock
(including any Unredeemed Shares (as defined in Subsection 6.1) as if held instead of
Redemption Notes), given in writing or by vote at a meeting, consenting or voting (as the case may
be) separately as a class:
(a) amend, alter or repeal any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation (including the
Certificate of Designations) or Bylaws of the Corporation;
(b) create, or authorize the creation of, or issue or obligate itself to issue shares of, any
additional class or series of capital stock pari passu or senior to the Series B Preferred Stock or
increase or decrease the authorized number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock or Common Stock;
(c) enter into, or effect, a merger, consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of the
assets of the Corporation (including a Deemed Liquidation) or otherwise liquidate, dissolve or
wind-up the business and affairs of the Corporation;
(d) declare or pay any dividend on the Common Stock or other junior securities;
(e) alter or change the rights, preferences, privileges or restrictions of the shares of the
Series B Preferred Stock (whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise);
(f) redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire (or permit any subsidiary to purchase or redeem),
any shares of capital stock of the Corporation other than (i) the repurchase of shares of Common
Stock pursuant to a written benefit plan or employment or consulting agreement (approved by the
Board of Directors), (ii) the repurchase of any equity securities in connection with the
Corporation’s right of first offer pursuant to an agreement executed by the Corporation or (iii)
the cash payment for fractional shares upon the conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock into
shares of Common Stock;
(g) increase or decrease the authorized number of directors constituting the Board of
Directors;
(h) approve any sale, license or other transfer of any intellectual property of the
Corporation, other than licenses made in the ordinary course of the Corporation’s business;
(i) approve material changes to the Corporation’s business plan; or
8
(j) amend the Investor Rights Agreement, the Voting Agreement or the Right of First Refusal
and Co-Sale Agreement.
The foregoing shall be without limitation to any approvals required under law by the Board of
Directors.
3.4 The Corporation will not permit any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries to take any of
the actions specified in Section 3.3, other than payment of dividends to the direct or indirect
subsidiaries’ parent entity, absent the written consent or affirmative vote of the holders of sixty
percent (60%) of the then outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock (including any Unredeemed
Shares as if held instead of Redemption Notes), given in writing or by vote at a meeting,
consenting or voting (as the case may be) separately as a class.
4. Optional Conversion.
The holders of the Series B Preferred Stock shall have conversion rights as follows (the
“Conversion Rights”):
4.1 Right to Convert. Each share of Series B Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at
the option of the holder thereof, at any time and from time to time, and without the payment of
additional consideration by the holder thereof, into such number of fully paid and nonassessable
shares of Common Stock as is determined by dividing the Series B Original Issue Price by the Series
B Conversion Price (as defined in the following sentence) in effect at the time of conversion. The
“Series B Conversion Price” shall initially be equal to $2.25, so initially each share of Series B
Preferred Stock (if convertible on the date hereof) would be convertible into two and two-thirds
shares of Common Stock. Such initial Series B Conversion Price, and the rate at which shares of
Series B Preferred Stock may be converted into shares of Common Stock, shall be subject to
adjustment as provided below.
4.2 Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon
conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock. In lieu of any fractional shares to which the holder
would otherwise be entitled, the Corporation shall pay cash equal to such fraction multiplied by
the fair market value of a share of Common Stock as determined in good faith by the Board of
Directors of the Corporation. Whether or not fractional shares would be issuable upon such
conversion shall be determined on the basis of the total number of shares of Series B Preferred
Stock the holder is at the time converting into Common Stock and the aggregate number of shares of
Common Stock issuable upon such conversion.
4.3 No Conversion. For so long as the shares of Common Stock remain registered
pursuant to Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange
Act”), and for a period of 61 days thereafter, the number of shares of Common Stock that may be
acquired by any holder upon any conversion of Series B Preferred Stock (or otherwise in respect of
the Series B Preferred Stock) shall be limited to the extent necessary to ensure that, following
such conversion (or other issuance), the total number of shares of Common Stock then beneficially
owned by all stockholders and their respective Affiliates and any other Persons whose beneficial
ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with the
9
stockholder’s for purposes of Section 13(d)
of the Exchange Act (including, without limitation, any other members of any “group” (within the
meaning of Rule 13d-5(b) promulgated under the Exchange Act), does not exceed 4.999% of the total
number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock (including for such purpose the shares of
Common Stock issuable upon such conversion); provided, however, that this Section
4.3 shall terminate and be of no further force and effect upon the first to occur of (i) June 1,
2008, (ii) such earlier date as the Company shall have no class of securities registered under
Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act, and (iii) the consummation of a Qualified IPO, or any voluntary
or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, or any Deemed Liquidation
Event. Each delivery of a notice of conversion by a holder of Series B Preferred Stock will
constitute a representation by such holder that it has evaluated the limitation set forth in this
paragraph and determined that issuance of the full number of shares of Common Stock requested in
such notice of conversion is permitted under this paragraph. For such purposes, beneficial
ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules
and regulations promulgated thereunder.
4.4 Mechanics of Conversion.
4.4.1 Notice of Conversion. In order for a holder of Series B Preferred Stock to
voluntarily convert shares of Series B Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock, such holder
shall surrender the certificate or certificates for such shares of Series B Preferred Stock (or, if
such registered holder alleges that such certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed, a lost
certificate affidavit and agreement reasonably acceptable to the Corporation to indemnify the
Corporation against any claim that may be made against the Corporation on account of the alleged
loss, theft or destruction of such certificate), at the office of the transfer agent for the Series
B Preferred Stock (or at the principal office of the Corporation if the Corporation serves as its
own transfer agent), together with written notice that such holder elects to convert all or any
number of the shares of the Series B Preferred Stock represented by such certificate or
certificates and, if applicable, any event on which such conversion is contingent. Such notice
shall state such holder’s name or the names of the nominees in which such holder wishes the
certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock to be issued. If required by the
Corporation, certificates surrendered for conversion shall be endorsed or accompanied by a written
instrument or instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Corporation, duly executed by
the registered holder or his, her or its attorney duly authorized in writing. The close of
business on the date of receipt by the transfer agent (or by the Corporation if the Corporation
serves as its own transfer agent) of such certificates (or lost certificate affidavit and
agreement) and notice shall be the time of conversion (the “Conversion Time”), and the shares of
Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the shares represented by such certificate shall be deemed
to be outstanding of record as of such date. The Corporation shall, as soon as practicable after
the Conversion Time, issue and deliver to such holder of Series B Preferred Stock, or to his, her
or its nominees, a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock
issuable upon such conversion in accordance with the provisions hereof, a certificate for the
number (if any) of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock represented by the surrendered
certificate that were not converted into Common Stock, and cash as provided in Subsection
4.2 in lieu of any fraction of a share of Common Stock otherwise
10
(issuable upon such conversion
and payment of any declared but unpaid dividends on the shares of Series B Preferred Stock
converted.
4.4.2 Reservation of Shares. The Corporation shall at all times when the Series B
Preferred Stock shall be outstanding, reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued
capital stock, for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock, such
number of its duly authorized shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to
effect the conversion of all outstanding Series B Preferred Stock; and if at any time the number of
authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of
all then outstanding shares of the Series B Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall take such
corporate action as may be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock
to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes, including, without limitation,
engaging in best efforts to obtain the requisite stockholder approval of any necessary amendment to
the Certificate of Incorporation. Before taking any action which would cause an adjustment
reducing the Series B Conversion Price below the then par value of the shares of Common Stock
issuable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock, the Corporation will take any corporate
action which may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary in order that the Corporation may
validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock at such adjusted
Series B Conversion Price.
4.4.3 Effect of Conversion. All shares of Series B Preferred Stock which shall have
been surrendered for conversion as herein provided shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding and
all rights with respect to such shares shall immediately cease and terminate at the Conversion
Time, except only the right of the holders thereof to receive shares of Common Stock in exchange
therefor and to receive payment of any dividends declared but unpaid thereon and payment of any
fractional shares. Any shares of Series B Preferred Stock so converted shall be retired and
cancelled and may not be reissued as shares of such series, and the Corporation may thereafter take
such appropriate action (without the need for stockholder action) as may be necessary to reduce the
authorized number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock accordingly.
4.4.4 No Further Adjustment. Upon any such conversion, no adjustment to the Series B
Conversion Price shall be made for any declared but unpaid dividends on the Series B Preferred
Stock surrendered for conversion or on the Common Stock delivered upon conversion.
4.4.5 Taxes. The Corporation shall pay any and all issue and other similar taxes that
may be payable in respect of any issuance or delivery of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of
shares of Series B Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 4. The Corporation shall not,
however, be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the
issuance and delivery of shares of Common Stock in a name other than that in which the shares of
Series B Preferred Stock so converted were registered, and no such issuance or delivery shall be
made unless and until the person or entity requesting such issuance has paid to the Corporation the
amount of any such tax or has established, to the satisfaction of the Corporation, that such tax
has been paid.

sixty percent (60%) of the then outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock agreeing that no
such adjustment shall be made as the result of the issuance or deemed issuance of such Additional
Shares of Common Stock.
4.5.3 Deemed Issue of Additional Shares of Common Stock.
(a) If the Corporation at any time or from time to time after the Series B Original Issue Date
shall issue any Options or Convertible Securities (excluding Options or Convertible Securities
which are themselves Exempted Securities) or shall fix a record date for the determination of
holders of any class of securities entitled to receive any such Options or Convertible Securities,
then the maximum number of shares of Common Stock (as set forth in the instrument relating thereto,
assuming the satisfaction of any conditions to exercisability, convertibility or exchangeability
but without regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such number)
issuable upon the exercise of such Options or, in the case of Convertible Securities and Options
therefor, the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, shall be deemed to be
Additional Shares of Common Stock issued as of the time of such issue or, in case such a record
date shall have been fixed, as of the close of business on such record date.
(b) If the terms of any Option or Convertible Security, the issuance of which resulted in an
adjustment to the Series B Conversion Price pursuant to the terms of Subsection 4.5.4, are
revised as a result of an amendment to such terms or any other adjustment pursuant to the
provisions of such Option or Convertible Security (but excluding automatic adjustments to such
terms pursuant to anti-dilution or similar provisions of such Option or Convertible Security) to
provide for either (1) any increase or decrease in the number of shares of Common Stock issuable
upon the exercise, conversion and/or exchange of any such Option or Convertible Security or (2) any
increase or decrease in the consideration payable to the Corporation upon such exercise, conversion
and/or exchange, then, effective upon such increase or decrease becoming effective, the Series B
Conversion Price computed upon the original issue of such Option or Convertible Security (or upon
the occurrence of a record date with respect thereto) shall be readjusted to such Series B
Conversion Price as would have obtained had such revised terms been in effect upon the original
date of issuance of such Option or Convertible Security. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no
readjustment pursuant to this clause (b) shall have the effect of increasing the Series B
Conversion Price to an amount which exceeds the lower of (i) the Series B Conversion Price in
effect immediately prior to the original adjustment made as a result of the issuance of such Option
or Convertible Security, or (ii) the Series B Conversion Price that would have resulted from any
issuances of Additional Shares of Common Stock (other than deemed issuances of Additional Shares of
Common Stock as a result of the issuance of such Option or Convertible Security) between the
original adjustment date and such readjustment date.
13
(c) If the terms of any Option or Convertible Security (excluding Options or Convertible
Securities which are themselves Exempted Securities), the issuance of which did not result in an
adjustment to the Series B Conversion Price pursuant to the terms of Subsection 4.5.4
(either because the consideration per share (determined pursuant to Subsection 4.5.5) of
the Additional Shares of Common Stock subject thereto was equal to or greater than the Series B
Conversion Price then in effect, or because such Option or Convertible Security was issued before
the Series B Original Issue Date), are revised after the Series B Original Issue Date as a result
of an amendment to such terms or any other adjustment pursuant to the provisions of such Option or
Convertible Security (but excluding automatic adjustments to such terms pursuant to anti-dilution
or similar provisions of such Option or Convertible Security) to provide for either (1) any
increase or decrease in the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise, conversion
or exchange of any such Option or Convertible Security or (2) any increase or decrease in the
consideration payable to the Corporation upon such exercise, conversion or exchange, then such
Option or Convertible Security, as so amended or adjusted, and the Additional Shares of Common
Stock subject thereto (determined in the manner provided in Subsection 4.5.3(a)) shall be
deemed to have been issued effective upon such increase or decrease becoming effective.
(d) Upon the expiration or termination of any unexercised Option or unconverted or unexchanged
Convertible Security (or portion thereof) which resulted (either upon its original issuance or upon
a revision of its terms) in an adjustment to the Series B Conversion Price pursuant to the terms of
Subsection 4.5.4, the Series B Conversion Price shall be readjusted to such Series B
Conversion Price as would have obtained had such Option or Convertible Security (or portion
thereof) never been issued.
(e) If the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise, conversion and/or
exchange of any Option or Convertible Security, or the consideration payable to the Corporation
upon such exercise, conversion and/or exchange, is calculable at the time such Option or
Convertible Security is issued or amended but is subject to adjustment based upon subsequent
events, any adjustment to the Series B Conversion Price provided for in this Subsection
4.5.3 shall be effected at the time of such issuance or amendment based on such number of
shares or amount of consideration without regard to any provisions for subsequent adjustments (and
any subsequent adjustments shall be treated as provided in clauses (b) and (c) of this
Subsection 4.5.3). If the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise,
conversion and/or exchange of any Option or Convertible Security, or the consideration payable to
the Corporation upon such exercise, conversion and/or exchange, cannot be calculated at all at the
time such Option or Convertible Security is issued or amended, any adjustment to the Series B
Conversion Price that would result under the terms of this Subsection 4.5.3 at the time of
such issuance or amendment shall instead be effected at the time such number of shares and/or
amount of consideration is first calculable (even if subject to subsequent adjustments), assuming
for purposes of calculating such adjustment to the Series B Conversion Price that such issuance or
amendment took place at the time such calculation can first be made.
14
4.5.4 Adjustment of Series B Conversion Price Upon Issuance of Additional Shares of Common
Stock. In the event the Corporation shall at any time after the Series B Original Issue Date
issue Additional Shares of Common Stock (including Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to be
issued pursuant to Subsection 4.5.3), without consideration or for a consideration per
share less than the Series B Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issue, then the
Series B Conversion Price shall be reduced, concurrently with such issue, to a price (calculated to
the nearest one-hundredth of a cent) determined in accordance with the following formula:
CP2 = CP1* (A + B) ÷ (A + C).
For purposes of the foregoing formula, the following definitions shall apply:
(a) “CP2” shall mean the Series B Conversion Price in effect immediately after such
issue of Additional Shares of Common Stock
(b) “CP1” shall mean the Series B Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to
such issue of Additional Shares of Common Stock;
(c) “A” shall mean the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such
issue of Additional Shares of Common Stock (treating for this purpose as outstanding all shares of
Common Stock issuable upon exercise of Options outstanding immediately prior to such issue or upon
conversion or exchange of Convertible Securities (including the Series B Preferred Stock)
outstanding (assuming exercise of any outstanding Options therefor) immediately prior to such
issue);
(d) “B” shall mean the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued if such
Additional Shares of Common Stock had been issued at a price per share equal to CP1
(determined by dividing the aggregate consideration received by the Corporation in respect of such
issue by CP1); and
(e) “C” shall mean the number of such Additional Shares of Common Stock issued in such
transaction.
4.5.5 Determination of Consideration. For purposes of this Subsection 4.5,
the consideration received by the Corporation for the issue of any Additional Shares of Common
Stock shall be computed as follows:
(a) Cash and Property: Such consideration shall:
|
(i) |
|
insofar as it
consists of cash, be computed at the aggregate amount of
cash received by the Corporation, excluding amounts paid
or payable for accrued interest and before deducting any
reasonable discounts, commissions or other expenses
allowed, paid or incurred by the |
15
|
|
|
Corporation for any
underwriting or otherwise in connection with such
issuance; |
|
|
(ii) |
|
insofar as it
consists of property other than cash, be computed at the
fair market value thereof at the time of such issue, as
determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of
the Corporation; provided, however, that
if the amount involved could reasonably be determined to
exceed $100,000 and the holders of a majority of the
then outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock,
voting together as a single class, notify the Board of
Directors within fifteen (15) days after receiving from
the Corporation written notification of the
determination of such fair market value that they
disagree with such determination, the Board of Directors
and the holders of a majority of the then outstanding
shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall have thirty
(30) days to agree upon a fair market value of the
relevant property. If, by the end of such thirty (30)
day period no agreement is reached as to the proper fair
market value, the fair market value shall be undertaken
by an independent appraiser to be selected jointly by
the Corporation and the holders of a majority of the
then outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock with
the fees paid by the Corporation. Absent such an
agreement, the appraiser shall be selected by the
American Arbitration Association; and |
|
|
(iii) |
|
in the event
Additional Shares of Common Stock are issued together
with other shares or securities or other assets of the
Corporation for consideration which covers both, be the
proportion of such consideration so received, computed
as provided in clauses (i) and (ii)
above, as determined in good faith by the Board of
Directors of the Corporation. |
(b) Options and Convertible Securities. The consideration per share received by the
Corporation for Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued pursuant to
Subsection 4.5.3, relating to Options and Convertible Securities, shall be determined by
dividing
|
(i) |
|
the total amount,
if any, received or receivable by the Corporation as
consideration for the issue of |
16
|
|
|
such Options or
Convertible Securities, plus the minimum aggregate
amount of additional consideration (as set forth in the
instruments relating thereto, without regard to any
provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment
of such consideration) payable to the Corporation upon
the exercise of such Options or the conversion or
exchange of such Convertible Securities, or in the case
of Options for Convertible Securities, the exercise of
such Options for Convertible Securities and the
conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities,
by |
|
|
(ii) |
|
the maximum
number of shares of Common Stock (as set forth in the
instruments relating thereto, without regard to any
provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment
of such number) issuable upon the exercise of such
Options or the conversion or exchange of such
Convertible Securities, or in the case of Options for
Convertible Securities, the exercise of such Options for
Convertible Securities and the conversion or exchange of
such Convertible Securities. |
4.5.6 Multiple Closing Dates. In the event the Corporation shall issue on more than
one date Additional Shares of Common Stock that are a part of one transaction or a series of
related transactions and that would result in an adjustment to the Series B Conversion Price
pursuant to the terms of Subsection 4.5.4 then, upon the final such issuance, the Series B
Conversion Price shall be readjusted to give effect to all such issuances as if they occurred on
the date of the first such issuance (and without giving effect to any additional adjustments as a
result of any such subsequent issuances within such period).
4.6 Adjustment for Stock Splits and Combinations. If the Corporation shall at any
time or from time to time after the Series B Original Issue Date effect a subdivision of the
outstanding Common Stock, the Series B Conversion Price in effect immediately before that
subdivision shall be proportionately 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 in the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. If the Corporation shall
at any time or from time to time after the Series B Original Issue Date combine the outstanding
shares of Common Stock, the Series B Conversion Price in effect immediately before the combination
shall be proportionately 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 the
aggregate number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Any adjustment under this subsection shall
become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes
effective.
17
4.7 Adjustment for Certain Dividends and Distributions. In the event the Corporation
at any time or from time to time after the Series B Original Issue Date shall make or issue, or fix
a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or
other distribution payable on the Common Stock in additional shares of Common Stock, then and in
each such event the Series B Conversion Price in effect immediately before such event shall be
decreased as of the time of such issuance or, in the event such a record date shall have been
fixed, as of the close of business on such record date, by multiplying the Series B Conversion
Price then in effect by a fraction:
|
(1) |
|
the numerator of which shall
be the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and
outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or
the close of business on such record date, and |
|
|
(2) |
|
the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and
outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable in payment of such dividend or
distribution. |
Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) if such record date shall have been fixed and such dividend is
not fully paid or if such distribution is not fully made on the date fixed therefor, the Series B
Conversion Price shall be recomputed accordingly as of the close of business on such record date
and thereafter the Series B Conversion Price shall be adjusted pursuant to this subsection as of
the time of actual payment of such dividends or distributions; and (b) that no such adjustment
shall be made if the holders of Series B Preferred Stock simultaneously receive a dividend or other
distribution of shares of Common Stock in a number equal to the number of shares of Common Stock as
they would have received if all outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock had been converted
into Common Stock on the date of such event.
4.8 Adjustments for Other Dividends and Distributions. In the event the Corporation
at any time or from time to time after the Series B Original Issue Date shall make or issue, or fix
a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or
other distribution payable in securities of the Corporation (other than a distribution of shares of
Common Stock in respect of outstanding shares of Common Stock) or in other property and the
provisions of Section 1 do not apply to such dividend or distribution, then and in each
such event the holders of Series B Preferred Stock shall receive, simultaneously with the
distribution to the holders of Common Stock, a dividend or other distribution of such securities or
other property in an amount equal to the amount of such securities or other property as they would
have received if all outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock had been converted into Common
Stock on the date of such event.
4.9 Adjustment for Merger or Reorganization, etc. Subject to the provisions of
Subsection 2.3, if there shall occur any reorganization, recapitalization,
reclassification,
18
consolidation or merger involving the Corporation in which the Common Stock (but
not the Series B Preferred Stock) is converted into or exchanged for securities, cash or other
property (other than a transaction covered by Subsections 4.5, 4.7 or 4.8),
then, following any such reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, consolidation or
merger, each share of Series B Preferred Stock shall thereafter be convertible in lieu of the
Common Stock into which it was convertible prior to such event into the kind and amount of
securities, cash or other property which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock of the
Corporation issuable upon conversion of one share of Series B Preferred Stock immediately prior to
such reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, consolidation or merger would have been
entitled to receive pursuant to such transaction; and, in such case, appropriate adjustment (as
determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Corporation) shall be made in the
application of the provisions in this Section 4 with respect to the rights and interests
thereafter of the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock, to the end that the provisions set forth
in this Section 4 (including provisions with respect to changes in and other adjustments of
the Series B Conversion Price) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as reasonably may be, in
relation to any securities or other property thereafter deliverable upon the conversion of the
Series B Preferred Stock.
4.10 Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or
readjustment of the Series B Conversion Price pursuant to this Section 4, the Corporation
at its expense shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable but in any event not later than 10 days
thereafter, compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and furnish
to each holder of Series B Preferred Stock a certificate setting forth such adjustment or
readjustment (including the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property into which the
Series B Preferred Stock is convertible) and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment
or readjustment is based. The Corporation shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable after the
written request at any time of any holder of Series B Preferred Stock (but in any event not later
than 10 days thereafter), furnish or cause to be furnished to such holder a certificate setting
forth (i) the Series B Conversion Price then in effect, and (ii) the number of shares of Common
Stock and the amount, if any, of other securities, cash or property which then would be received
upon the conversion of Series B Preferred Stock.
4.11 Notice of Record Date. In the event:
(a) the Corporation shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock (or other capital
stock or securities at the time issuable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock) for the
purpose of entitling or enabling them to receive any dividend or other distribution, or to receive
any right to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or any other
securities, or to receive any other security; or
(b) of any capital reorganization of the Corporation, any reclassification of the Common Stock
of the Corporation, or any Deemed Liquidation Event; or
(c) of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Corporation,
19
then, and in each such case, the Corporation will send or cause to be sent to the holders of the
Series B Preferred Stock a notice specifying, as the case may be, (i) the record date for such
dividend, distribution or right, and the amount and character of such dividend, distribution or
right, or (ii) the effective date on which such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation,
merger, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is proposed to take place, and the time,
if any is to be fixed, as of which the holders of record of Common Stock (or such other capital
stock or securities at the time issuable upon the conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock) shall
be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock (or such other capital stock or securities)
for securities or other property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification,
consolidation, merger, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up, and the amount per share
and character of such exchange applicable to the Series B Preferred Stock and the Common Stock.
Such notice shall be sent at least 10 days prior to the record date or effective date for the event
specified in such notice.
5. Mandatory Conversion.
5.1 Trigger Events. Upon either (a) the closing of the sale of shares of Common Stock
to the public at a price of at least $5.625 per share (subject to appropriate adjustment in the
event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination or other similar recapitalization with
respect to the Common Stock), in a firm-commitment underwritten public offering pursuant to an
effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, resulting in at
least $25,000,000 of gross proceeds to the Corporation (a “Qualified IPO”) or (b) the date and time, or the occurrence of an event, specified by vote or
written consent of the holders of at least sixty percent (60%) of the then outstanding shares of
Series B Preferred Stock (the time of such closing or the date and time specified or the time of
the event specified in such vote or written consent is referred to herein as the “Mandatory
Conversion Time”), (i) all outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall automatically be
converted into shares of Common Stock, at the then effective conversion rate and (ii) such shares
may not be reissued by the Corporation.
5.2 Procedural Requirements. All holders of record of shares of Series B Preferred
Stock shall be sent written notice of the Mandatory Conversion Time and the place designated for
mandatory conversion of all such shares of Series B Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section
5. Such notice need not be sent in advance of the occurrence of the Mandatory Conversion Time.
Upon receipt of such notice, each holder of shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall surrender
his, her or its certificate or certificates for all such shares (or, if such holder alleges that
such certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed, a lost certificate affidavit and agreement
reasonably acceptable to the Corporation to indemnify the Corporation against any claim that may be
made against the Corporation on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of such
certificate) to the Corporation at the place designated in such notice. If so required by the
Corporation, certificates surrendered for conversion shall be endorsed or accompanied by written
instrument or instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Corporation, duly executed by
the registered holder or by his, her or its attorney duly authorized in writing. All rights with
respect to the Series B Preferred Stock converted pursuant to Section 5.1, including the
rights, if any, to receive notices and vote (other than as a holder of
20
Common Stock), will terminate at the Mandatory Conversion Time (notwithstanding the failure of the
holder or holders thereof to surrender the certificates at or prior to such time), except only the
rights of the holders thereof, upon surrender of their certificate or certificates (or lost
certificate affidavit and agreement) therefor, to receive the items provided for in the next
sentence of this Subsection 5.2. As soon as practicable after the Mandatory Conversion
Time and the surrender of the certificate or certificates (or lost certificate affidavit and
agreement) for Series B Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall issue and deliver to such holder, or
to his, her or its nominees, a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Common
Stock issuable on such conversion in accordance with the provisions hereof, together with cash as
provided in Subsection 4.2 in lieu of any fraction of a share of Common Stock otherwise
issuable upon such conversion and the payment of any declared but unpaid dividends on the shares of
Series B Preferred Stock converted. Such converted Series B Preferred Stock shall be retired and
cancelled and may not be reissued as shares of such series, and the Corporation may thereafter take
such appropriate action (without the need for stockholder action) as may be necessary to reduce the
authorized number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock accordingly.
6. Redemption.
6.1 Redemption. At any time on or after November 1, 2014, the holders of the then
outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock may require the Corporation to redeem all or a
portion of their shares of Series B Preferred Stock out of funds lawfully available therefor at a
price equal to the Series B Original Issue Price plus any Series B Dividends accrued but unpaid
thereon (the “Redemption Price”). Within five business days of receipt of a Redemption Notice, the
Corporation shall provide written notice (the “Corporation Notice”) to all holders of Series B
Preferred Stock stating that the Corporation has received a Redemption Notice and inviting each
such holder to require redemption of all or a portion of their shares of Series B Preferred Stock
by delivering notice to the Corporation within twenty business days of receipt of a Corporation
Notice. The Corporation shall within 90 days after receipt by the Corporation of the Redemption
Notice (the “Redemption Date”) be required to redeem all shares of Series B Preferred Stock
requested to be redeemed. On the Redemption Date, the Corporation shall redeem all shares of
Series B Preferred Stock for which a request for redemption has been made; provided that if the
Corporation does not have sufficient funds legally available to redeem on the Redemption Date all
such shares, the Corporation shall redeem a pro rata portion of each holder’s redeemable shares of
such Series B Preferred Stock (requested to be redeemed) out of funds legally available therefor,
based on the respective amounts which would otherwise be payable in respect of the shares to be
redeemed if the legally available funds were sufficient to redeem all such shares, and shall redeem
the remaining shares by issuance of a secured note (a “Redemption Note”), which shall be secured by
all of the assets of the Corporation (and senior to any other indebtedness of the Corporation other
than indebtedness owed to a banking or similar institution which is senior to the Redemption
Notes); provided further that if the legally available funds are not sufficient to redeem all of
the shares of Series B Preferred Stock that otherwise would have been redeemed then any holder of
Series B Preferred Stock who so elected to redeem may in its sole and absolute discretion elect to
receive a Redemption Note, in lieu of a cash payment, for the entire amount of proceeds otherwise
payable with respect to such shares that were to be redeemed (the shares that have not been
redeemed for cash, after giving effect to
21
the foregoing proviso, are referred to as the “Unredeemed Shares”). For purposes of any consent or approval required under the Certificate of Incorporation,
including Subsections 3.3 and 3.4, Unredeemed Shares shall be deemed to be outstanding.
Each Redemption Note shall accrue interest at a rate of 8% per annum (whether or not declared),
which shall compound annually. The Corporation shall pay the Redemption Notes, pro rata among the
holders thereof based on the balance then outstanding, immediately out of funds legally available
therefore. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation or any
Deemed Liquidation Event while the Redemptions Notes are outstanding, holders of the Redemption
Notes shall be entitled to receive the greater of (i) an amount that is not less than what they
would have otherwise received had they held all Unredeemed Shares of Series B Preferred Stock at
the time of the Deemed Liquidation Event, and (ii) the face value of the Redemption Notes (together
with accrued interest thereof), such amount to be paid pari passu with the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock
in accordance with Subsection 2.1.
6.2 Surrender of Certificates; Payment. On or before the Redemption Date, each holder
of shares of Series B Preferred Stock to be redeemed on the Redemption Date, unless such holder has
exercised his, her or its right to convert such shares as provided in Section 4, shall
surrender the certificate or certificates representing such shares (or, if such registered holder
alleges that such certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed, a lost certificate affidavit and
agreement reasonably acceptable to the Corporation to indemnify the Corporation against any claim
that may be made against the Corporation on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of
such certificate) to the Corporation, in the manner and at the place designated in the Redemption
Notice, and thereupon the Redemption Price for such shares shall be payable to the order of the
person whose name appears on such certificate or certificates as the owner thereof. In the event
less than all of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock represented by a certificate are redeemed
(including shares of Series B Preferred Stock for which the Redemption Price has not yet been
paid), a new certificate representing the unredeemed shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall
promptly be issued to such holder.
6.3 Rights Subsequent to Redemption. If the Redemption Notice shall have been duly
given, and if on the applicable Redemption Date the Redemption Price payable upon redemption of the
shares of Series B Preferred Stock to be redeemed on such Redemption Date is paid or tendered for
payment or deposited with an independent payment agent so as to be available therefor, then
notwithstanding that the certificates evidencing any of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock so
called for redemption shall not have been surrendered, dividends with respect to such shares of
Series B Preferred Stock shall cease to accrue after such Redemption Date and all rights with
respect to such shares shall forthwith after the Redemption Date terminate, except only the right
of the holders to receive the Redemption Price without interest upon surrender of their certificate
or certificates therefor.
6.4 Determination of Legally Available Funds. In any determination of funds legally
available for the redemption of shares pursuant to this Section 6, the Corporation shall at
all times act in good faith in the determination of such amount including, without limitation,
retaining proper valuation experts and revaluing the Corporation’s statutory surplus, if
appropriate.
22
6.5 No Other Redemption. In no event shall the Corporation redeem any other of its
securities while any shares of Series B Preferred Stock or Redemption Notes are outstanding.
7. Redeemed or Otherwise Acquired Shares. Any shares of Series B Preferred Stock
that are redeemed or otherwise acquired by the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries shall
be automatically and immediately cancelled and retired and shall not be reissued, sold or
transferred. Neither the Corporation nor any of its subsidiaries may exercise any voting or other
rights granted to the holders of Series B Preferred Stock following redemption.
8. Waiver. Any of the rights, powers, preferences and other terms of the Series B
Preferred Stock set forth herein may be waived on behalf of all holders of Series B Preferred Stock
by the affirmative written consent or vote of the holders of at least a majority of the shares of
Series B Preferred Stock then outstanding.
9. Notices. Any notice required or permitted by the provisions of this Article Fourth
to be given to a holder of shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall be mailed, postage prepaid, to
the post office address last shown on the records of the Corporation, or given by electronic
communication in compliance with the provisions of the General Corporation Law, and shall be deemed
sent upon such mailing or electronic transmission.
FIFTH: Subject to any additional vote required by the Certificate of Incorporation, in
furtherance and not in limitation of the powers conferred by statute, the Board of Directors is expressly
authorized to make, repeal, alter, amend and rescind any or all of the Bylaws of the Corporation.
SIXTH: Subject to any additional vote required by the Certificate of Incorporation, the number
of directors of the Corporation shall be determined in the manner set forth in the Bylaws of the
Corporation.
SEVENTH: Elections of directors need not be by written ballot unless the Bylaws of the
Corporation shall so provide.
EIGHTH: Meetings of stockholders may be held within or without the State of Delaware, as the
Bylaws of the Corporation may provide. The books of the Corporation may be kept outside the State
of Delaware at such place or places as may be designated from time to time by the Board of
Directors or in the Bylaws of the Corporation.
NINTH: To the fullest extent permitted by law, a director of the Corporation shall not be
personally liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of
fiduciary duty as a director. If the General Corporation Law or any other law of the State of
Delaware is amended after approval by the stockholders of this Article Ninth to authorize corporate
action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors, then the liability of a
director of the Corporation shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the
General Corporation Law as so amended.
23
Any repeal or modification of the foregoing provisions of this Article Ninth by the
stockholders of the Corporation shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a director of
the Corporation existing at the time of, or increase the liability of any director of the
Corporation with respect to any acts or omissions of such director occurring prior to, such repeal
or modification.
TENTH: The following indemnification provisions shall apply to the persons enumerated below.
1. Right to Indemnification of Directors and Officers. The Corporation shall
indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law as it presently
exists or may hereafter be amended, any person (an “Indemnified Person”) who was or is made or is
threatened to be made a party or is otherwise involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether
civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (a “Proceeding”), by reason of the fact that such
person, or a person for whom such person is the legal representative, is or was a director or
officer of the Corporation or, while a director or officer of the Corporation, 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, limited liability company, trust, enterprise or nonprofit entity,
including service with respect to employee benefit plans, against all liability and loss suffered
and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Person in such
Proceeding. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, except as otherwise provided in Section 3 of
this Article Tenth, the Corporation shall be required to indemnify an Indemnified Person in
connection with a Proceeding (or part thereof) commenced by such Indemnified Person only if the
commencement of such Proceeding (or part thereof) by the Indemnified Person was authorized in
advance by the Board of Directors.
2. Prepayment of Expenses of Directors and Officers. The Corporation shall pay the
expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by an Indemnified Person in defending any Proceeding
in advance of its final disposition, provided, however, that, to the extent
required by law, such payment of expenses in advance of the final disposition of the Proceeding
shall be made only upon receipt of an undertaking by the Indemnified Person to repay all amounts
advanced if it should be ultimately determined that the Indemnified Person is not entitled to
be indemnified under this Article Tenth or otherwise.
3. Claims by Directors and Officers. If a claim for indemnification or advancement of
expenses under this Article Tenth is not paid in full within 30 days after a written claim therefor
by the Indemnified Person has been received by the Corporation, the Indemnified Person may file
suit to recover the unpaid amount of such claim and, if successful in whole or in part, shall be
entitled to be paid the expense of prosecuting such claim. In any such action the Corporation
shall have the burden of proving that the Indemnified Person is not entitled to the requested
indemnification or advancement of expenses under applicable law.
4. Indemnification of Employees and Agents. The Corporation may indemnify and advance
expenses to any person who was or is made or is threatened to be made or is otherwise involved in
any Proceeding by reason of the fact that such person, or a person for whom such
24
person is the legal representative, is or was an employee or agent of the Corporation or, while an employee or
agent of the Corporation, 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, limited
liability company, trust, enterprise or nonprofit entity, including service with respect to
employee benefit plans, against all liability and loss suffered and expenses (including attorney’s
fees) reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such Proceeding. The ultimate
determination of entitlement to indemnification of persons who are non-director or officer
employees or agents shall be made in such manner as is determined by the Board of Directors in its
sole discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the Corporation shall not be required to
indemnify a person in connection with a Proceeding initiated by such person if the Proceeding was
not authorized in advance by the Board of Directors.
5. Advancement of Expenses of Employees and Agents. The Corporation may pay the
expenses (including attorney’s fees) incurred by an employee or agent in defending any Proceeding
in advance of its final disposition on such terms and conditions as may be determined by the Board
of Directors.
6. Non-Exclusivity of Rights. The rights conferred on any person by this Article
Tenth shall not be exclusive of any other rights which such person may have or hereafter acquire
under any statute, provision of the certificate of incorporation, by-laws, agreement, vote of
stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.
7. Other Indemnification. The Corporation’s obligation, if any, to indemnify any
person who was or is serving at its request as a director, officer or employee of another
Corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust, organization or other
enterprise shall be reduced by any amount such person may collect as indemnification from such
other corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust, organization or
other enterprise.
8. Insurance. The Board of Directors may, to the full extent permitted by applicable
law as it presently exists, or may hereafter be amended from time to time, authorize an appropriate
officer or officers to purchase and maintain at the Corporation’s expense insurance: (a) to
indemnify the Corporation for any obligation which it incurs as a result of the indemnification of
directors, officers and employees under the provisions of this Article Tenth; and (b) to indemnify
or insure directors, officers and employees against liability in instances in which they may not
otherwise be indemnified by the Corporation under the provisions of this Article Tenth.
9. Amendment or Repeal. Any repeal or modification of the foregoing provisions of
this Article Tenth shall not adversely affect any right or protection hereunder of any person in
respect of any act or omission occurring prior to the time of such repeal or modification. The rights provided hereunder shall inure
to the benefit of any Indemnified Person and such person’s heirs, executors and administrators.
Any amendment, repeal or modification of the foregoing provisions of this Article
25
Tenth shall not adversely affect any right or protection of any director, officer or other agent of the
Corporation existing at the time of such amendment, repeal or modification.
ELEVENTH: The Corporation renounces any interest or expectancy of the Corporation in, or in
being offered an opportunity to participate in, any Excluded Opportunity. An “Excluded
Opportunity” is any matter, transaction or interest that is presented to, or acquired, created or
developed by, or which otherwise comes into the possession of, (i) any director of the Corporation
or (ii) any holder of Series B Preferred Stock or any partner, member, director, stockholder,
employee or agent of any such holder, other than someone who is an employee of the Corporation or
any of its subsidiaries (collectively, “Covered Persons”), unless such matter, transaction or
interest is presented to, or acquired, created or developed by, or otherwise comes into the
possession of, a Covered Person expressly and solely in such Covered Person’s capacity as a
director of the Corporation.
TWELFTH: The Corporation is to have perpetual existence.
THIRTEENTH: The Corporation elects not to be governed by Section 203 of the General
Corporation Law.

INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT
THIS INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT (the “
Agreement”) is made and entered into as of November [
],
2007 between
Planet Technologies, Inc., a California corporation (including its predecessors,
successors and assigns, the “
Company”), and [ ] (“
Indemnitee”).
WITNESSETH THAT:
WHEREAS, highly competent persons have become more reluctant to serve corporations as
directors or in other capacities unless they are provided with adequate protection through
insurance or adequate indemnification against inordinate risks of claims and actions against them
arising out of their service to and activities on behalf of the corporation;
WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) has determined that, in order to
attract and retain qualified individuals, the Company will attempt to maintain on an ongoing basis,
at its sole expense, liability insurance to protect persons serving the Company and its
subsidiaries from certain liabilities. Although the furnishing of such insurance has been a
customary and widespread practice among United States-based corporations and other business
enterprises, the Company believes that, given current market conditions and trends, such insurance
may be available to it in the future only at higher premiums and with more exclusions. At the same
time, directors, officers, and other persons in service to corporations or business enterprises are
being increasingly subjected to expensive and time-consuming litigation relating to, among other
things, matters that traditionally would have been brought only against the Company or business
enterprise itself. Indemnitee may also be entitled to indemnification pursuant to the General
Corporation Law of the State of California (“CGCL”). The By-laws and the CGCL expressly provide
that the indemnification provisions set forth therein are not exclusive, and thereby contemplate
that contracts may be entered into between the Company and members of the board of directors,
officers and other persons with respect to indemnification;
WHEREAS, the uncertainties relating to such insurance and to indemnification have increased
the difficulty of attracting and retaining such persons;
WHEREAS, the Board has determined that the increased difficulty in attracting and retaining
such persons is detrimental to the best interests of the Company’s stockholders and that the
Company should act to assure such persons that there will be increased certainty of such protection
in the future;
WHEREAS, it is reasonable, prudent and necessary for the Company contractually to obligate
itself to indemnify, and to advance expenses on behalf of, such persons to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable law so that they will serve or continue to serve the Company free from
undue concern that they will not be so indemnified;
WHEREAS, this Agreement is a supplement to and in furtherance of the By-laws of the Company
and any resolutions adopted pursuant thereto, and shall not be deemed a substitute therefor, nor to
diminish or abrogate any rights of Indemnitee thereunder;
WHEREAS, Indemnitee does not regard the protection available under the Company’s
By-laws and insurance as adequate in the present circumstances, and may not be willing to serve as an officer
or director without adequate protection, and the Company desires Indemnitee to serve in such
capacity. Indemnitee is willing to serve, continue to serve and to take on additional service for
or on behalf of the Company on the condition that he be so indemnified; and
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of Indemnitee’s agreement to serve as an director after the
date hereof, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent permitted by California law, as
follows:
1. Indemnity of Indemnitee. The Company hereby agrees to hold harmless and indemnify
Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by law, as such may be amended from time to time. In
furtherance of the foregoing indemnification, and without limiting the generality thereof:
(a) Proceedings Other Than Proceedings by or in the Right of the Company. Indemnitee
shall be entitled to the rights of indemnification provided in this Section l(a) if, by
reason of his Corporate Status (as hereinafter defined), the Indemnitee is, or is threatened to be
made, a party to or participant in any Proceeding (as hereinafter defined) other than a Proceeding
by or in the right of the Company. Pursuant to this Section 1(a), Indemnitee shall be
indemnified against all Expenses (as hereinafter defined), judgments, penalties, fines and amounts
paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him, or on his behalf, in connection with
such Proceeding or any claim, issue or matter therein, if the Indemnitee acted in good faith and in
a manner the Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
Company, and with respect to any criminal Proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the
Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful.
(b) Proceedings by or in the Right of the Company. Indemnitee shall be entitled to
the rights of indemnification provided in this Section 1(b) if, by reason of his Corporate
Status, the Indemnitee is, or is threatened to be made, a party to or participant in any Proceeding
brought by or in the right of the Company. Pursuant to this Section 1(b), Indemnitee shall
be indemnified against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by the Indemnitee, or on the
Indemnitee’s behalf, in connection with such Proceeding if the Indemnitee acted in good faith and
in a manner the Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
Company; provided, however, if applicable law so provides, no indemnification against such Expenses
shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter in such Proceeding as to which Indemnitee
shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Company unless and to the extent that the Courts of
the State of California shall determine that such indemnification may be made.
(c) Indemnification for Expenses of a Party Who is Wholly or Partly Successful.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to the extent that Indemnitee is, by reason
of his Corporate Status, a party to and is successful, on the merits or otherwise, in any Proceeding, he shall
be indemnified to the maximum extent permitted by law, as such may be amended from time to time,
against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or on his behalf in connection
therewith. If Indemnitee is not wholly successful in such Proceeding but is successful, on the
merits or otherwise, as to one or more but less than all claims, issues or matters in such
Proceeding, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee against all Expenses actually and reasonably
incurred by him or on his behalf in connection with each successfully resolved claim, issue or
matter. For purposes of this Section and without
limitation, the termination of any claim, issue or matter in such a Proceeding by dismissal, with or without prejudice, shall be deemed to be a
successful result as to such claim, issue or matter.
2. Additional Indemnity. In addition to, and without regard to any limitations on,
the indemnification provided for in Section 1 of this Agreement, the Company shall and
hereby does indemnify and hold harmless Indemnitee against all Expenses, judgments, penalties,
fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him or on his behalf if,
by reason of his Corporate Status, he is, or is threatened to be made, a party to or participant in
any Proceeding (including a Proceeding by or in the right of the Company), including, without
limitation, all liability arising out of the negligence or active or passive wrongdoing of
Indemnitee. The only limitation that shall exist upon the Company’s obligations pursuant to this
Agreement shall be that the Company shall not be obligated to make any payment to Indemnitee that
is finally determined (under the procedures, and subject to the presumptions, set forth in
Sections 6 and 7 hereof) to be unlawful.
3. Contribution.
(a) Whether or not the indemnification provided in Sections 1 and 2 hereof is
available, in respect of any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding in which
the Company is jointly liable with Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such action, suit or
proceeding), the Company shall pay, in the first instance, the entire amount of any judgment or
settlement of such action, suit or proceeding without requiring Indemnitee to contribute to such
payment and the Company hereby waives and relinquishes any right of contribution it may have
against Indemnitee. The Company shall not enter into any settlement of any action, suit or
proceeding in which the Company is jointly liable with Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such
action, suit or proceeding) unless such settlement provides for a full and final release of all
claims asserted against Indemnitee.
(b) Without diminishing or impairing the obligations of the Company set forth in the preceding
subparagraph, if, for any reason, Indemnitee shall elect or be required to pay all or any portion
of any judgment or settlement in any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding in
which the Company is jointly liable with Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such action, suit or
proceeding), the Company shall contribute to the amount of expenses (including attorneys’ fees),
judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred and paid or
payable by Indemnitee in proportion to the relative benefits received by the Company and all
officers, directors or employees of the Company, other than Indemnitee, who are jointly liable with
Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such action, suit or proceeding), on the one hand, and
Indemnitee, on the other hand, from the transaction from which such action, suit or proceeding
arose; provided, however, that the proportion determined on the basis of relative benefit may, to
the extent necessary to conform to law, be further adjusted by reference to the relative fault of
the Company and all officers, directors or employees of the Company other than Indemnitee who are
jointly liable with Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such action, suit or proceeding), on the
one hand, and Indemnitee, on the other hand, in connection with the events that resulted in such
expenses, judgments, fines or settlement amounts, as well as any other equitable considerations
which the Law may require to be considered. The relative fault of the Company and all officers,
directors or employees of the Company, other than Indemnitee, who are jointly liable with
Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such action, suit or proceeding), on the one hand, and
Indemnitee, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, the degree to which their
actions were motivated
by intent to gain personal profit or advantage, the degree to which their
liability is primary or secondary and the degree to which their conduct is active or passive.
(c) The Company hereby agrees to fully indemnify and hold Indemnitee harmless from any claims
of contribution which may be brought by officers, directors or employees of the Company, other than
Indemnitee, who may be jointly liable with Indemnitee.
(d) To the fullest extent permissible under applicable law, if the indemnification provided
for in this Agreement is unavailable to Indemnitee for any reason whatsoever, the Company, in lieu
of indemnifying Indemnitee, shall contribute to the amount incurred by Indemnitee, whether for
judgments, fines, penalties, excise taxes, amounts paid or to be paid in settlement and/or for
Expenses, in connection with any claim relating to an indemnifiable event under this Agreement, in
such proportion as is deemed fair and reasonable in light of all of the circumstances of such
Proceeding in order to reflect (i) the relative benefits received by the Company and Indemnitee as
a result of the event(s) and/or transaction(s) giving cause to such Proceeding; and/or (ii) the
relative fault of the Company (and its directors, officers, employees and agents) and Indemnitee in
connection with such event(s) and/or transaction(s).
4. Indemnification for Expenses of a Witness. Notwithstanding any other provision of
this Agreement, to the extent that Indemnitee is, by reason of his Corporate Status, a witness in
any Proceeding to which Indemnitee is not a party, he shall be indemnified against all Expenses
actually and reasonably incurred by him or on his behalf in connection therewith.
5. Advancement of Expenses. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement,
the Company shall advance all Expenses incurred by or on behalf of Indemnitee in connection with
any Proceeding by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status within thirty (30) days after the receipt
by the Company of a statement or statements from Indemnitee requesting such advance or advances
from time to time, whether prior to or after final disposition of such Proceeding. Such statement
or statements shall reasonably evidence the Expenses incurred by Indemnitee and shall include or be
preceded or accompanied by an undertaking by or on behalf of Indemnitee to repay any Expenses
advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified
against such Expenses. Any advances and undertakings to repay pursuant to this Section 5
shall be unsecured and interest free.
6. Procedures and Presumptions for Determination of Entitlement to Indemnification.
It is the intent of this Agreement to secure for Indemnitee rights of indemnity that are as
favorable as may be permitted under the CGCL and public policy of the State of California.
Accordingly, the parties agree that the following procedures and presumptions shall apply in the
event of any question as to whether Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement:
(a) To obtain indemnification under this Agreement, Indemnitee shall submit to the Company a
written request, including therein or therewith such documentation and information as is reasonably
available to Indemnitee and is reasonably necessary to determine whether and to what extent
Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification. The Secretary of the Company shall, promptly upon
receipt of such a request for indemnification, advise the Board of Directors in writing that
Indemnitee has requested indemnification.
(b) Upon written request by Indemnitee for indemnification pursuant to the first sentence of
Section 6(a) hereof, a determination, if required by applicable law, with respect to
Indemnitee’s entitlement thereto shall be made in the specific case by one of the following four
methods, which shall be at the election of the board: (1) by a majority vote of the disinterested
directors, even though less than a quorum, by a committee of disinterested directors designated by
a majority vote of the disinterested directors, even though less than a quorum, (2) if there are no
disinterested directors or if the disinterested directors so direct, by independent legal counsel
in a written opinion to the Board of Directors, a copy of which shall be delivered to the
Indemnitee, or (3) if so directed by the Board of Directors, by the stockholders of the Company.
For purposes hereof, disinterested directors are those members of the board of directors of the
Company who are not parties to the action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification
is sought by Indemnitee.
(c) If the determination of entitlement to indemnification is to be made by Independent
Counsel pursuant to Section 6(b) hereof, the Independent Counsel shall be selected as
provided in this Section 6(c). The Independent Counsel shall be selected by the Board of
Directors. Indemnitee may, within 10 days after such written notice of selection shall have been
given, deliver to the Company, as the case may be, a written objection to such selection; provided,
however, that such objection may be asserted only on the ground that the Independent Counsel so
selected does not meet the requirements of “Independent Counsel” as defined in Section 13
of this Agreement, and the objection shall set forth with particularity the factual basis of such
assertion. Absent a proper and timely objection, the person so selected shall act as Independent
Counsel. If a written objection is made and substantiated, the Independent Counsel selected may
not serve as Independent Counsel unless and until such objection is withdrawn or a court has
determined that such objection is without merit. If, within 20 days after submission by Indemnitee
of a written request for indemnification pursuant to Section 6(a) hereof, no Independent
Counsel shall have been selected and not objected to, either the Company or Indemnitee may petition
the Courts of the State of California or other court of competent jurisdiction for resolution of
any objection which shall have been made by the Indemnitee to the Company’s selection of
Independent Counsel and/or for the appointment as Independent Counsel of a person selected by the
court or by such other person as the court shall designate, and the person with respect to whom all
objections are so resolved or the person so appointed shall act as Independent Counsel under
Section 6(b) hereof. The Company shall pay any and all reasonable fees and expenses of
Independent Counsel incurred by such Independent Counsel in connection with acting pursuant to
Section 6(b) hereof, and the Company shall pay all reasonable fees and expenses incident to
the procedures of this Section 6(c), regardless of the manner in which such Independent
Counsel was selected or appointed.
(d) In making a determination with respect to entitlement to indemnification hereunder, the
person or persons or entity making such determination shall presume that Indemnitee is entitled to
indemnification under this Agreement. Anyone seeking to overcome this presumption shall have the
burden of proof and the burden of persuasion by clear and convincing evidence. Neither the failure
of the Company (including by its directors or independent legal counsel) to have made a
determination prior to the commencement of any action pursuant to this Agreement that
indemnification is proper in the circumstances because Indemnitee has met the applicable standard
of conduct, nor an actual determination by the Company (including by its directors or independent
legal counsel) that Indemnitee has not met
such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that Indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of
conduct.
(e) Indemnitee shall be deemed to have acted in good faith if Indemnitee’s action is based on
the records or books of account of the Enterprise, including financial statements, or on
information supplied to Indemnitee by the officers of the Enterprise (as hereinafter defined) in
the course of their duties, or on the advice of legal counsel for the Enterprise or on information
or records given or reports made to the Enterprise by an independent certified public accountant or by an appraiser or other expert selected with reasonable care
by the Enterprise. In addition, the knowledge and/or actions, or failure to act, of any director,
officer, agent or employee of the Enterprise shall not be imputed to Indemnitee for purposes of
determining the right to indemnification under this Agreement. Whether or not the foregoing
provisions of this Section 6(e) are satisfied, it shall in any event be presumed that
Indemnitee has at all times acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or
not opposed to the best interests of the Company. Anyone seeking to overcome this presumption
shall have the burden of proof and the burden of persuasion by clear and convincing evidence.
(f) If the person, persons or entity empowered or selected under Section 6 to
determine whether Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification shall not have made a determination
within sixty (60) days after receipt by the Company of the request therefor, the requisite
determination of entitlement to indemnification shall be deemed to have been made and Indemnitee
shall be entitled to such indemnification absent (i) a misstatement by Indemnitee of a material
fact, or an omission of a material fact necessary to make Indemnitee’s statement not materially
misleading, in connection with the request for indemnification, or (ii) a prohibition of such
indemnification under applicable law; provided, however, that such 60-day period may be extended
for a reasonable time, not to exceed an additional thirty (30) days, if the person, persons or
entity making such determination with respect to entitlement to indemnification in good faith
requires such additional time to obtain or evaluate documentation and/or information relating
thereto; and provided, further, that the foregoing provisions of this Section 6(g) shall
not apply if the determination of entitlement to indemnification is to be made by the stockholders
pursuant to Section 6(b) of this Agreement and if (A) within fifteen (15) days after
receipt by the Company of the request for such determination, the Board of Directors or the
Disinterested Directors, if appropriate, resolve to submit such determination to the stockholders
for their consideration at an annual meeting thereof to be held within seventy-five (75) days after
such receipt and such determination is made thereat, or (B) a special meeting of stockholders is
called within fifteen (15) days after such receipt for the purpose of making such determination,
such meeting is held for such purpose within sixty (60) days after having been so called and such
determination is made thereat.
(g) Indemnitee shall cooperate with the person, persons or entity making such determination
with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification, including providing to such person,
persons or entity upon reasonable advance request any documentation or information which is not
privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure and which is reasonably available to Indemnitee
and reasonably necessary to such determination. Any Independent Counsel, member of the Board of
Directors or stockholder of the Company shall act reasonably and in good faith in making a
determination regarding the Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification under this Agreement. Any
costs or expenses (including attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by Indemnitee in so
cooperating with the person, persons or entity making such determination shall be borne by the
Company (irrespective of the
determination as to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification) and the Company hereby indemnifies and agrees to hold Indemnitee harmless therefrom.
(h) The Company acknowledges that a settlement or other disposition short of final judgment
may be successful if it permits a party to avoid expense, delay, distraction, disruption and
uncertainty. In the event that any action, claim or proceeding to which Indemnitee is a party is
resolved in any manner other than by adverse judgment against Indemnitee (including, without
limitation, settlement of such action, claim or proceeding with or without payment of money or
other consideration) it shall be presumed that Indemnitee has been successful on the merits or
otherwise in such action, suit or proceeding. Anyone seeking to overcome this presumption shall
have the burden of proof and the burden of persuasion by clear and convincing evidence.
(i) The termination of any Proceeding or of any claim, issue or matter therein, by judgment,
order, settlement or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not
(except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement) of itself adversely affect the right of
Indemnitee to indemnification or create a presumption that Indemnitee did not act in good faith and
in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
Company or, with respect to any criminal Proceeding, that Indemnitee had reasonable cause to
believe that his conduct was unlawful.
7. Remedies of Indemnitee.
(a) In the event that (i) a determination is made pursuant to Section 6 of this
Agreement that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, (ii) advancement
of Expenses is not timely made pursuant to Section 5 of this Agreement, (iii) no
determination of entitlement to indemnification is made pursuant to Section 6(b) of this
Agreement within 90 days after receipt by the Company of the request for indemnification, (iv)
payment of indemnification is not made pursuant to this Agreement within ten (10) days after
receipt by the Company of a written request therefor or (v) payment of indemnification is not made
within ten (10) days after a determination has been made that Indemnitee is entitled to
indemnification or such determination is deemed to have been made pursuant to Section 6 of
this Agreement, Indemnitee shall be entitled to an adjudication in an appropriate court of the
State of California, or in any other court of competent jurisdiction, of Indemnitee’s entitlement
to such indemnification. Indemnitee shall commence such proceeding seeking an adjudication within
180 days following the date on which Indemnitee first has the right to commence such proceeding
pursuant to this Section 7(a). The Company shall not oppose Indemnitee’s right to seek any
such adjudication.
(b) In the event that a determination shall have been made pursuant to Section 6(b) of
this Agreement that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification, any judicial proceeding
commenced pursuant to this Section 7 shall be conducted in all respects as a de novo trial
on the merits, and Indemnitee shall not be prejudiced by reason of the adverse determination under
Section 6(b).
(c) If a determination shall have been made pursuant to Section 6(b) of this Agreement
that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, the Company shall be bound by such determination in
any judicial proceeding commenced pursuant to this Section 7, absent (i) a misstatement by
Indemnitee of a material fact, or an omission of a material fact necessary to
make Indemnitee’s misstatement not materially misleading in connection with the application for indemnification, or
(ii) a prohibition of such indemnification under applicable law.
(d) In the event that Indemnitee, pursuant to this Section 7, seeks a judicial
adjudication of his rights under, or to recover damages for breach of, this Agreement, or to
recover under any directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies maintained by the Company,
the Company shall pay on his behalf, in advance, any and all expenses (of the types described in
the definition of Expenses in Section 13 of this Agreement) actually and reasonably
incurred by him in such judicial adjudication, regardless of whether Indemnitee ultimately is
determined to be entitled to such indemnification, advancement of expenses or insurance recovery.
(e) The Company shall be precluded from asserting in any judicial proceeding commenced
pursuant to this Section 7 that the procedures and presumptions of this Agreement are not
valid, binding and enforceable and shall stipulate in any such court that the Company is bound by
all the provisions of this Agreement. The Company shall indemnify Indemnitee against any and all
Expenses and, if requested by Indemnitee, shall (within ten (10) days after receipt by the Company
of a written request therefore) advance, to the extent not prohibited by law, such expenses to
Indemnitee, which are incurred by Indemnitee in connection with any action brought by Indemnitee
for indemnification or advance of Expenses from the Company under this Agreement or under any
directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies maintained by the Company, regardless of
whether Indemnitee ultimately is determined to be entitled to such indemnification, advancement of
Expenses or insurance recovery, as the case may be.
(f) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no determination as to
entitlement to indemnification under this Agreement shall be required to be made prior to the final
disposition of the Proceeding.
8. Non-Exclusivity; Survival of Rights; Insurance; Subrogation.
(a) The rights of indemnification as provided by this Agreement shall not be deemed exclusive
of any other rights to which Indemnitee may at any time be entitled under applicable law, the
certificate of incorporation of the Company, the Bylaws, any agreement, a vote of stockholders, a
resolution of directors or otherwise. No amendment, alteration or repeal of this Agreement or of
any provision hereof shall limit or restrict any right of Indemnitee under this Agreement in
respect of any action taken or omitted by such Indemnitee in his Corporate Status prior to such
amendment, alteration or repeal. To the extent that a change in the CGCL, whether by statute or
judicial decision, permits greater indemnification than would be afforded currently under the
Bylaws and this Agreement, it is the intent of the parties hereto that Indemnitee shall enjoy by
this Agreement the greater benefits so afforded by such change. No right or remedy herein
conferred is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every other right and
remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now
or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right
or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any
other right or remedy.
(b) To the extent that the Company maintains an insurance policy or policies providing
liability insurance for directors, officers, employees, or agents or fiduciaries of
the Company or of any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other
enterprise that such person serves at the request of the Company, Indemnitee shall be covered by
such policy or policies in accordance with its or their terms to the maximum extent of the coverage
available for any director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary under such policy or policies.
If, at the time of the receipt of a notice of a claim pursuant to the terms hereof, the Company has
director and officer liability insurance in effect, the Company shall give prompt notice of the
commencement of such proceeding to the insurers in accordance with the procedures set forth in the
respective policies. The Company shall thereafter take all necessary or desirable action to cause
such insurers to pay, on behalf of the Indemnitee, all amounts payable as a result of such
proceeding in accordance with the terms of such policies.
(c) In the event of any payment under this Agreement, the Company shall be subrogated to the
extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of Indemnitee, who shall execute all papers
required and take all action necessary to secure such rights, including execution of such documents
as are necessary to enable the Company to bring suit to enforce such rights.
(d) The Company shall not be liable under this Agreement to make any payment of amounts
otherwise indemnifiable hereunder if and to the extent that Indemnitee has otherwise actually
received such payment under any insurance policy, contract, agreement or otherwise.
(e) The Company’s obligation to indemnify or advance Expenses hereunder to Indemnitee who is
or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of any other
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise shall be
reduced by any amount Indemnitee has actually received as indemnification or advancement of
expenses from such other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or
other enterprise.
9. Exception to Right of Indemnification. Notwithstanding any provision in this
Agreement, the Company shall not be obligated under this Agreement to make any indemnity in

law; or
(c) in connection with any Proceeding (or any part of any Proceeding) initiated by Indemnitee,
including any Proceeding (or any part of any Proceeding) initiated by Indemnitee against the
Company or its directors, officers, employees or other indemnitees, unless (i) the Board of
Directors of the Company authorized the Proceeding (or any part of any Proceeding) prior to its
initiation or (ii) the Company provides the indemnification, in its sole discretion, pursuant to
the powers vested in the Company under applicable law.
10. Duration of Agreement. All agreements and obligations of the Company contained
herein shall continue during the period Indemnitee is an officer or director of the Company (or is
or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise) and shall continue thereafter
so long as Indemnitee shall be subject to any Proceeding (or any proceeding commenced under
Section 7 hereof) by reason of his Corporate Status, whether or not he is acting or serving
in any such capacity at the time any liability or expense is incurred for which indemnification can
be provided under this Agreement. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of
and be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective successors (including any direct or
indirect successor by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise to all or substantially all of
the business or assets of the Company), assigns, spouses, heirs, executors and personal and legal
representatives.
11. Security. To the extent requested by Indemnitee and approved by the Board of
Directors of the Company, the Company may at any time and from time to time provide security to
Indemnitee for the Company’s obligations hereunder through an irrevocable bank line of credit,
funded trust or other collateral. Any such security, once provided to Indemnitee, may not be
revoked or released without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee.
12. Enforcement.
(a) The Company expressly confirms and agrees that it has entered into this Agreement and
assumes the obligations imposed on it hereby in order to induce Indemnitee to serve as an officer
or director of the Company, and the Company acknowledges that Indemnitee is relying upon this
Agreement in serving as an officer or director of the Company.
(b) This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to
the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, oral, written and
implied, between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof.
13. Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement:
(a) “Corporate Status” describes the status of a person who is or was a director (or a person
entitled to designate a director), officer, employee, agent or fiduciary of the Company or of any
other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise
that such person is or was serving at the express written request of the Company.
(b) “Disinterested Director” means a director of the Company who is not and was not a party to
the Proceeding in respect of which indemnification is sought by Indemnitee.
(c) “Enterprise” means the Company and any other corporation, partnership, joint venture,
trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise that Indemnitee is or was serving at the express
written request of the Company as a director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary.
(d) “Expenses” shall include all reasonable attorneys’ fees, retainers, court costs,
transcript costs, fees of experts, witness fees, travel expenses, duplicating costs, printing and
binding costs, telephone charges, postage, delivery service fees and all other disbursements or
expenses of the types customarily incurred in connection with prosecuting, defending, preparing to
prosecute or defend, investigating, participating, or being or preparing to be a witness in a
Proceeding. Expenses also shall include Expenses incurred in connection with any appeal resulting
from any Proceeding, including without limitation the premium, security for, and other costs
relating to any cost bond, supersede as bond, or other appeal bond or its equivalent. Expenses,
however, shall not include amounts paid in settlement by Indemnitee or the amount of judgments or
fines against Indemnitee.
(e) “Independent Counsel” means a law firm, or a member of a law firm, that is experienced in
matters of corporation law and neither presently is, nor in the past five years has been, retained
to represent: (i) the Company or Indemnitee in any matter material to either such party (other
than with respect to matters concerning Indemnitee under this Agreement, or of other indemnitees
under similar indemnification agreements), or (ii) any other party to the Proceeding giving rise to
a claim for indemnification hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term “Independent
Counsel” shall not include any person who, under the applicable standards of professional conduct
then prevailing, would have a conflict of interest in representing either the Company or Indemnitee
in an action to determine Indemnitee’s rights under this Agreement. The Company agrees to pay the
reasonable fees of the Independent Counsel referred to above and to fully indemnify such counsel
against any and all Expenses, claims, liabilities and damages arising out of or relating to this
Agreement or its engagement pursuant hereto.
(f) “Proceeding” includes any threatened, pending or completed action, suit, arbitration,
alternate dispute resolution mechanism, investigation, inquiry, administrative hearing or any other
actual, threatened or completed proceeding, whether brought by or in the right of the Company or
otherwise and whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, in which Indemnitee was, is
or will be involved as a party or otherwise, by reason of the fact that Indemnitee is or was an
officer or director of the Company (or designated a director), by reason of any action taken by him
or of any inaction on his part while acting as an officer or director of the Company (or equity
holder of the Company), or by reason of the fact that he is or was serving at the request of the
Company as a director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary of another corporation, partnership,
joint venture, trust or other Enterprise; in each case whether or not he is acting or serving in
any such capacity at the time any liability or expense is incurred for which indemnification can be
provided under this Agreement; including one pending on or before the date of this Agreement, but
excluding one initiated by an Indemnitee pursuant to Section 7 of this Agreement to enforce
his rights under this Agreement.
14. Severability. The invalidity of unenforceability of any provision hereof shall in
no way affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, this Agreement is intended to confer upon Indemnitee indemnification
rights to the fullest extent permitted by applicable laws. In the event any provision hereof
conflicts with any applicable law, such provision shall be deemed modified, consistent with the
aforementioned intent, to the extent necessary to resolve such conflict.
15. Modification and Waiver. No supplement, modification, termination or amendment of
this Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing by both of the parties
hereto. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed or shall
constitute a waiver of any other provisions hereof (whether or not similar) nor shall such waiver
constitute a continuing waiver.
16. Notice By Indemnitee. Indemnitee agrees promptly to notify the Company in writing
upon being served with or otherwise receiving any summons, citation, subpoena, complaint,
indictment, information or other document relating to any Proceeding or matter which may be subject
to indemnification covered hereunder. The failure to so notify the Company shall not relieve the
Company of any obligation which it may have to Indemnitee under this Agreement or otherwise unless
and only to the extent that such failure or delay materially prejudices the Company.
17. Notices. All notices and other communications given or made pursuant to this
Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed effectively given: (a) upon personal delivery to
the party to be notified, (b) when sent by confirmed electronic mail or facsimile if sent during
normal business hours of the recipient, and if not so confirmed, then on the next business day, (c)

specifying next day delivery, with written verification of receipt. All communications shall be

(b) To the Company at:
or to such other address as may have been furnished to Indemnitee by the Company or to the Company
by Indemnitee, as the case may be.
18. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of
which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same
Agreement. This Agreement may also be executed and delivered by facsimile signature and in two or
more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall
constitute one and the same instrument.
19. Headings. The headings of the paragraphs of this Agreement are inserted for
convenience only and shall not be deemed to constitute part of this Agreement or to affect the
construction thereof.
20. Governing Law and Consent to Jurisdiction. This Agreement and the legal relations
among the parties shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of
the State of California, without regard to its conflict of laws rules. The Company and Indemnitee
hereby irrevocably and unconditionally (i) agree that any action or proceeding arising out of or in
connection with this Agreement shall be brought only in the Court
of the State of California, San Diego County, (the “California Court”), and not in any other
state or federal court in the United States of America or any court in any other country, (ii)
consent to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the California Court for purposes of any action
or proceeding arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, (iii) waive any objection to the
laying of venue of any such action or proceeding in the California Court, and (iv) waive, and agree
not to plead or to make, any claim that any such action or proceeding brought in the California

2.1 Demand Registration.
(a) Form S-1 Demand. If at any time after the earlier of (i) the third anniversary of
the date hereof or (ii) one hundred eighty (180) days after the effective date of the registration
statement for the IPO, the Company receives a request from Holders of sixty percent (60%) of the
Registrable Securities then outstanding that the Company file a Form S-1 (or equivalent small
business issuer form, if approved by such Holders) registration statement with respect to the
Registrable Securities then outstanding, then the Company shall (i) within ten (10) days after the
date such request is given, give notice thereof (the “Demand Notice”) to all Holders other than the
Initiating Holders. As soon as practicable, and in any event within sixty (60) days after the date
such request is given by the Initiating Holders, file a Form S-1 registration statement under the
Securities Act covering all Registrable Securities that the Initiating Holders requested to be
registered and any additional Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration
by any other Holders having an anticipated aggregate offering price, net of Selling Expenses, of at
least $2,000,000, as specified by notice given by each such
4
Holder to the Company within twenty (20) days of the date the Demand Notice is given, and in
each case, subject to the limitations of Section 2.1(c) and Section 2.3.
(b) Form S-3 Demand. If at any time when it is eligible to use a Form S-3
registration statement, the Company receives a request from Holders of Registrable Securities that
the Company file a Form S-3 registration statement with respect to outstanding Registrable
Securities of such Holders having an anticipated aggregate offering price, net of Selling Expenses,
of at least $500,000, then the Company shall (i) within ten (10) days after the date such request
is given, give a Demand Notice to all Holders other than the Initiating Holders; and (ii) as soon
as practicable, and in any event within forty-five (45) days after the date such request is given
by the Initiating Holders, file a Form S-3 registration statement under the Securities Act covering
all Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration by any other Holders, as
specified by notice given by each such Holder to the Company within twenty (20) days of the date
the Demand Notice is given, and in each case, subject to the limitations of Section 2.1(c)
and Section 2.3.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing obligations, if the Company furnishes to Holders requesting
a registration pursuant to this Section 2.1 a certificate signed by the Company’s chief
executive officer stating that in the good faith judgment of the Company’s Board of Directors it
would be materially detrimental to the Company and its stockholders for such registration statement
to either become effective or remain effective for as long as such registration statement otherwise
would be required to remain effective, because such action would (i) materially interfere with a
significant acquisition, corporate reorganization, or other similar transaction involving the
Company; (ii) require premature disclosure of material information that the Company has a bona fide
business purpose for preserving as confidential; or (iii) render the Company unable to comply with
requirements under the Securities Act or Exchange Act, then the Company shall have the right to
defer taking action with respect to such filing for a period of not more than sixty (60) days after
the request of the Initiating Holders is given; provided, however, that the Company may not
invoke this right more than once in any twelve (12) month period; and provided further that
the Company shall not register any securities for its own account or that of any other stockholder
during such sixty (60) day period.
(d) The Company shall not be obligated to effect, or to take any action to effect, any
registration pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(i) (i) after the Company has effected three
registrations pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(i) or (ii) if the Initiating Holders propose to
dispose of shares of Registrable Securities that may be immediately registered on Form S-3 pursuant
to a request made pursuant to Section 2.1(b). The Company shall not be obligated to
effect, or to take any action to effect, any registration pursuant to Section 2.1(a) or
Section 2.1(b) during any period in which the Company has effected a registration pursuant
to Section 2.1(a) or Section 2.1(b) within the six (6) month period immediately
preceding the date of such request. A registration shall not be counted as “effected” for purposes
of this Section 2.1(d) until such time as the applicable registration statement has been
declared effective by the SEC, unless the Initiating Holders withdraw their request for such
registration, elect not to pay the registration expenses therefor, and forfeit their right to one
demand registration statement pursuant to Section 2.6, in which case such withdrawn
registration statement shall be counted as “effected” for purposes of this Section 2.1(d).
5
2.2 Company Registration. If the Company proposes to register (including, for this
purpose, a registration effected by the Company for stockholders other than the Holders) any of its
securities under the Securities Act in connection with the public offering of such securities
solely for cash (other than in an Excluded Registration), the Company shall, at such time, promptly
give each Holder notice of such registration. Upon the request of each Holder given within twenty
(20) days after such notice is given by the Company, the Company shall, subject to the provisions
of Section 2.3, cause to be registered all of the Registrable Securities that each such
Holder has requested to be included in such registration. The Company shall have the right to
terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under this Section 2.2 before the
effective date of such registration, whether or not any Holder has elected to include Registrable
Securities in such registration. The expenses (other than Selling Expenses) of such withdrawn
registration shall be borne by the Company in accordance with Section 2.6.
2.3 Underwriting Requirements.
(a) If, pursuant to Section 2.1, 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 Section 2.1, and the Company shall
include such information in the Demand Notice. The underwriter(s) will be selected by the Company
and shall be reasonably acceptable to a majority in interest of the Holders included in such
registration. 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 to the
extent provided herein. All Holders proposing to distribute their securities through such
underwriting shall (together with the Company as provided in Section 2.4(e)) enter into an
underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter(s) selected for such underwriting.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.3, if the managing underwriter(s)
advise(s) the Initiating Holders in writing that marketing factors require a limitation on the
number of shares to be underwritten, then the Initiating Holders shall so advise all Holders of
Registrable Securities that otherwise would be underwritten pursuant hereto, and the number of
Registrable Securities that may be included in the underwriting shall be allocated among such
Holders of Registrable Securities, including the Initiating Holders, in proportion (as nearly as
practicable) to the number of Registrable Securities owned by each Holder or in such other
proportion as shall mutually be agreed to by all such selling Holders; provided, however,
that the number of Registrable Securities held by the Holders to be included in such underwriting
shall not be reduced unless all other securities are first entirely excluded from the underwriting.
(b) In connection with any offering involving an underwriting of shares of the Company’s
capital stock pursuant to Section 2.2, the Company shall not be required to include any of
the Holders’ Registrable Securities in such underwriting unless the Holders accept the terms of the
underwriting as agreed upon between the Company and its underwriters, and then only in such
quantity as the underwriters in their sole discretion determine will not jeopardize the success of
the offering by the Company. If the total number of securities, including Registrable Securities,
requested by stockholders to be included in such offering exceeds the number of securities to be
sold (other than by the Company) that the underwriters in their reasonable discretion determine is
compatible with the success of the offering, then the Company shall be required to include in the
offering only that number of such securities,
6
including Registrable Securities, which the underwriters and the Company in their sole
discretion determine will not jeopardize the success of the offering. If the underwriters
determine that less than all of the Registrable Securities requested to be registered can be
included in such offering, then the Registrable Securities that are included in such offering shall
be allocated among the selling Holders in proportion (as nearly as practicable to) the number of
Registrable Securities owned by each selling Holder or in such other proportions as shall mutually
be agreed to by all such selling Holders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall (i) the
number of Registrable Securities included in the offering be reduced unless all other securities
(other than securities to be sold by the Company) are first entirely excluded from the offering,
and (ii) the number of Registrable Securities included in the offering be reduced below thirty
percent (30%) of the total number of securities included in such offering, unless such offering is
the IPO, in which case the selling Holders may be excluded further if the underwriters make the
determination described above and no other stockholder’s securities are included in such offering.
For purposes of the provision in this Section 2.3(b) concerning apportionment, for any
selling Holder that is a partnership, limited liability company, or corporation, the partners,
members, retired partners, retired members, stockholders, and Affiliates of such Holder, or the
estates and Immediate Family Members of any such partners, retired partners, members, and retired
members and any trusts for the benefit of any of the foregoing Persons, shall be deemed to be a
single “selling Holder,” and any pro rata reduction with respect to such “selling Holder” shall be
based upon the aggregate number of Registrable Securities owned by all Persons included in such
“selling Holder,” as defined in this sentence.
(c) For purposes of Section 2.1, a registration shall not be counted as “effected” if, as a
result of an exercise of the underwriter’s cutback provisions in Section 2.3(a), fewer than fifty
percent (50%) of the total number of Registrable Securities that Holders have requested to be
included in such registration statement are actually included.
(d) Without limitation to anything herein set forth, in connection with an IPO, the
underwriter(s) shall be reasonably acceptable to a majority in interest of the outstanding
Registrable Securities.
2.4 Obligations of the Company. Whenever required under this Section 2 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 commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to
become effective and, upon the request of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities
registered thereunder, keep such registration statement effective for a period of up to one hundred
twenty (120) days or, if earlier, until the distribution contemplated in the registration statement
has been completed; provided, however, that (i) such one hundred twenty (120) day period
shall be extended for a period of time equal to the period the Holder refrains, at the request of
an underwriter of Common Stock (or other securities) of the Company, from selling any securities
included in such registration, and (ii) in the case of any registration of Registrable Securities
on Form S-3 that are intended to be offered on a continuous or delayed basis, subject to compliance
with applicable SEC rules, such one hundred twenty (120) day
7
period shall be extended for up to sixty (60) days, if necessary, to keep the registration
statement effective until all such Registrable Securities are sold;
(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 Securities Act in order to enable the disposition of all securities
covered by such registration statement;
(c) furnish to the selling Holders such numbers of copies of a prospectus, including a
preliminary prospectus, as required by the Securities Act, and such other documents as the Holders
may reasonably request in order to facilitate their disposition of their Registrable Securities;
(d) use its commercially reasonable efforts to register and qualify the securities covered by
such registration statement under such other securities or blue-sky laws of such jurisdictions as
shall be reasonably requested by the selling Holders; provided that the Company shall not
be required to qualify to do business or to file a general consent to service of process in any
such states or jurisdictions, unless the Company is already subject to service in such
jurisdiction and except as may be required by the Securities Act;
(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 underwriter(s) of such
offering;
(f) use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause all such Registrable Securities covered
by such registration statement to be listed on a national securities exchange or trading system and
each securities exchange and trading system (if any) on which similar securities issued by the
Company are then listed;
(g) provide a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable Securities registered pursuant
to this Agreement and provide a CUSIP number for all such Registrable Securities, in each case not
later than the effective date of such registration;
(h) promptly make available for inspection by the selling Holders, any underwriter(s)
participating in any disposition pursuant to such registration statement, and any attorney or
accountant or other agent retained by any such underwriter or selected by the selling Holders, all
financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents, and properties of the Company, and
cause the Company’s officers, directors, employees, and independent accountants to supply all
information reasonably requested by any such seller, underwriter, attorney, accountant, or agent,
in each case, as necessary or advisable to verify the accuracy of the information in such
registration statement and to conduct appropriate due diligence in connection therewith;
(i) notify each selling Holder, promptly after the Company receives notice thereof, of the
time when such registration statement has been declared effective or a supplement to any prospectus
forming a part of such registration statement has been filed; and
8
(j) after such registration statement becomes effective, notify each selling Holder of any
request by the SEC that the Company amend or supplement such registration statement or prospectus.
2.5 Furnish Information. It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the
Company to take any action pursuant to this Section 2 with respect to the Registrable
Securities of any selling Holder that such Holder shall furnish to the Company such information
regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it, and the intended method of disposition of
such securities as is reasonably required to effect the registration of such Holder’s Registrable
Securities.
2.6 Expenses of Registration. All expenses (other than Selling Expenses) incurred in
connection with registrations, filings, or qualifications pursuant to Section 2, including
all registration, filing, and qualification fees; printers’ and accounting fees; fees and
disbursements of counsel for the Company; and the reasonable fees and disbursements of one counsel
for the selling Holders (“Selling Holder Counsel”), shall be borne and paid by the Company;
provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay for any expenses of any
registration proceeding begun pursuant to Section 2.1 if the registration request is
subsequently withdrawn at the request of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities to
be registered (in which case all selling Holders shall bear such expenses pro rata based upon the
number of Registrable Securities that were to be included in the withdrawn registration), unless
the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities agree to forfeit their right to one
registration pursuant to Section 2.1(a) or Section 2.1(b), as the case may be;
provided further that if, at the time of such withdrawal, the Holders shall have learned of
a material adverse change in the condition, business, or prospects of the Company from that known
to the Holders at the time of their request and have withdrawn the request with reasonable
promptness after learning of such information then the Holders shall not be required to pay any of
such expenses and shall not forfeit their right to one registration pursuant to Section
2.1(a) or Section 2.1(b). All Selling Expenses relating to Registrable Securities
registered pursuant to this Section 2 shall be borne and paid by the Holders pro rata on the basis
of the number of Registrable Securities registered on their behalf.
2.7 Delay of Registration. No Holder shall have any right to obtain or seek an
injunction restraining or otherwise delaying any registration pursuant to this Agreement as the
result of any controversy that might arise with respect to the interpretation or implementation of
this Section 2.
2.8 Indemnification. If any Registrable Securities are included in a registration
statement under this Section 2:
(a) To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each selling
Holder, and the partners, members, officers, directors, employees and stockholders of each such
Holder; legal counsel, accountants and other agents for each such Holder; any underwriter (as
defined in the Securities Act) for each such Holder; and each Person, if any, who controls such
Holder or underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, against any
Damages, and the Company will pay to each such Holder, underwriter, controlling Person, or other
aforementioned Person any legal or other expenses
9
reasonably incurred thereby in connection with investigating or defending any claim or
proceeding from which Damages may result, as such expenses are incurred; provided, however,
that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 2.8(a) shall not apply to amounts
paid in settlement of any such claim or proceeding if such settlement is effected without the
consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, nor shall the Company be
liable for any Damages to the extent that they arise out of or are based upon actions or omissions
made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by or on behalf of any
such Holder, underwriter, controlling Person, or other aforementioned Person expressly for use in
connection with such registration.
(b) To the extent permitted by law, each selling Holder, severally and not jointly, will
indemnify and hold harmless the Company, and 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 Securities Act, legal counsel, accountants and other agents for the Company, any
underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act), any other Holder selling securities in such
registration statement, and any controlling Person of any such underwriter or other Holder, against
any Damages, in each case only to the extent that such Damages arise out of or are based upon
actions or omissions made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by
or on behalf of such selling Holder expressly for use in connection with such registration; and
each such selling Holder will pay to the Company and each other aforementioned Person any legal or
other expenses reasonably incurred thereby in connection with investigating or defending any claim
or proceeding from which Damages may result, as such expenses are incurred; provided,
however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 2.8(b) shall not apply
to amounts paid in settlement of any such claim or proceeding if such settlement is effected
without the consent of the Holder, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; and
provided further that in no event shall the aggregate amounts payable by any Holder by way
of indemnity or contribution under Sections 2.8(b) and 2.8(d) exceed the proceeds
from the offering received by such Holder (net of any Selling Expenses paid by such Holder), except
in the case of fraud or willful misconduct by such Holder.
(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 2.8 of notice of
the commencement of any action (including any governmental action) for which a party may be
entitled to indemnification hereunder, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof
is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 2.8, give the indemnifying
party notice of the commencement thereof. The indemnifying party shall have the right to
participate in such action and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, participate
jointly with any other indemnifying party to which notice has been given, and to assume the defense
thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the parties; provided, however, that an
indemnified party (together with all other indemnified parties that may be represented without
conflict by one counsel) shall have the right to retain one separate 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 action. The failure to give notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of
the commencement of any such action shall relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the
indemnified party under this Section 2.8, to the extent that such failure materially
prejudices the indemnifying party’s ability to defend such action. The failure to give notice to
10
the indemnifying party will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any
indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 2.8.
(d) To provide for just and equitable contribution to joint liability under the Securities Act
in any case in which either (i) any party otherwise entitled to indemnification hereunder makes a
claim for indemnification pursuant to this Section 2.8 but it is judicially determined (by
the entry of a final judgment or decree by a court of competent jurisdiction and the expiration of
time to appeal or the denial of the last right of appeal) that such indemnification may not be
enforced in such case, notwithstanding the fact that this Section 2.8 provides for
indemnification in such case, or (ii) contribution under the Securities Act may be required on the
part of any party hereto for which indemnification is provided under this Section 2.8,
then, and in each such case, such parties will contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages,
liabilities, or expenses to which they may be subject (after contribution from others) in such
proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of each of the indemnifying party and
the indemnified party in connection with the statements, omissions, or other actions that resulted
in such loss, claim, damage, liability, or expense, as well as to reflect any other relevant
equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified
party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or allegedly
untrue statement of a material fact, or the omission or alleged omission of 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; provided, however, that, in any such case, (x) no Holder will
be required to contribute any amount in excess of the public offering price of all such Registrable
Securities offered and sold by such Holder pursuant to such registration statement, and (y) no
Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the
Securities Act) will be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such
fraudulent misrepresentation; and provided further that in no event shall a Holder’s
liability pursuant to this Section 2.8(d), when combined with the amounts paid or payable
by such Holder pursuant to Section 2.8(b), exceed the proceeds from the offering received
by such Holder (net of any Selling Expenses) paid by such Holder), except in the case of
willful misconduct or fraud by such Holder.
(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) Unless otherwise superseded by an underwriting agreement entered into in connection with
the underwritten public offering, the obligations of the Company and Holders under this Section
2.8 shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in a registration
under this Section 2, and otherwise shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
2.9 Reports Under Exchange Act. With a view to making available to the Holders the
benefits of SEC 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 shall:
11
(a) make and keep available adequate current public information, as those terms are understood
and defined in SEC Rule 144, at all times after the effective date of the registration statement
filed by the Company for the IPO;
(b) use commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports
and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act (at any
time after the Company has become subject to such reporting requirements); and
(c) furnish to any Holder, so long as the Holder owns any Registrable Securities, forthwith
upon request (i) to the extent accurate, a written statement by the Company that it has complied
with the reporting requirements of SEC Rule 144 (at any time after ninety (90) days after the
effective date of the registration statement filed by the Company for the IPO), the Securities Act,
and the Exchange Act (at any time after the Company 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 the Company 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 that permits the selling of any such securities without registration (at any
time after the Company has become subject to the reporting requirements under the Exchange Act) or
pursuant to Form S-3 (at any time after the Company so qualifies to use such form).
2.10 Limitations on Subsequent Registration Rights. As of the date hereof, no other
holder of any Common Stock or Derivative Securities has the right to register its securities. From
and after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of
the Holders of sixty percent (60%) of the Registrable Securities then outstanding, enter into any
agreement with any holder or prospective holder of any securities of the Company that (i) would
provide to such holder the right to include securities in any registration on other than a
subordinate basis after all Holders have had the opportunity to include in the registration and
offering all shares of Registrable Securities that they wish to so include or (ii) allow such
holder or prospective holder to initiate a demand for registration of any securities held by such
holder or prospective holder.
2.11 “Market Stand-off” Agreement. Each Holder hereby agrees that it will not,
without the prior written consent of the managing underwriter, during the period commencing on the
“effective date” of the registration statement for the IPO and ending on the date specified by the
Company and the managing underwriter (such period not to exceed one hundred eighty (180) days,
which period may be extended upon the request of the managing underwriter, to the extent required
by any NASD rules, for an additional period of up to fifteen (15) days if the Company issues or
proposes to issue an earnings or other public release within fifteen (15) days of the expiration of
the 180-day lockup period), (i) lend; offer; pledge; sell; contract to sell; sell any option or
contract to purchase; purchase any option or contract to sell; grant any option, right, or warrant
to purchase; or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of Common
Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable (directly or indirectly)
for Common Stock (whether such shares or any such securities are then owned by the Holder or are
thereafter acquired) or (ii) enter into any swap or
12
other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic
consequences of ownership of such securities, whether any such transaction described in clause (i)
or (ii) above is to be settled by delivery of Common Stock or other securities, in cash, or
otherwise. The foregoing provisions of this Section 2.11 shall apply only to the IPO,
shall not apply to the sale of any shares to an underwriter pursuant to an underwriting agreement,
and shall be applicable to the Holders only if all officers, directors and holders of more than one
percent (1%) of the outstanding Common Stock (after giving effect to the conversion into Common
Stock of all outstanding Series B Preferred Stock) are subject to the same restrictions. The
underwriters in connection with such registration are intended third-party beneficiaries of this
Section 2.11 and shall have the right, power, and authority to enforce the provisions
hereof as though they were a party hereto. Each Holder further agrees to execute such agreements
as may be reasonably requested by the underwriters in connection with such registration that are
consistent with this Section 2.11 or that are necessary to give further effect thereto.
Any discretionary waiver or termination of the restrictions of any or all of such agreements by the
Company or the underwriters shall apply pro rata to all Holders subject to such agreements, based
on the number of shares subject to such agreements.
2.12 Restrictions on Transfer.
(a) The Series B Preferred Stock and the Registrable Securities shall not be sold, pledged, or
otherwise transferred, and the Company shall not recognize and shall issue stop-transfer
instructions to its transfer agent with respect to any such sale, pledge, or transfer, except upon
the conditions specified in this Agreement, which conditions are intended to ensure compliance with
the provisions of the Securities Act. A transferring Holder will cause any proposed purchaser,
pledgee, or transferee of the Registrable Securities held by such Holder to agree to take and hold
such securities subject to the provisions and upon the conditions specified in this Agreement.
(b) Each certificate or instrument representing (i) the Series B Preferred Stock, (ii) the
Registrable Securities, and (iii) any other securities issued in respect of the securities
referenced in clauses (i) and (ii), upon any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, merger,
consolidation, or similar event, shall (unless otherwise permitted by the provisions of Section
2.12(c)) be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend substantially in the following form:
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND HAVE NOT
BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933. SUCH SHARES MAY NOT BE SOLD,
PLEDGED, OR TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR A VALID EXEMPTION
FROM THE REGISTRATION AND PROSPECTUS DELIVERY REQUIREMENTS OF SAID ACT.
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY MAY BE TRANSFERRED ONLY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE
TERMS OF AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND THE STOCKHOLDER, A COPY OF WHICH IS ON
FILE WITH THE SECRETARY OF THE COMPANY.
13
The Holders consent to the Company making a notation in its records and giving instructions to any
transfer agent of the Restricted Securities in order to implement the restrictions on transfer set
forth in this Section 2.12.
(c) The holder of each certificate representing Restricted Securities, by acceptance thereof,
agrees to comply in all respects with the provisions of this Section 2. Before any
proposed sale, pledge, or transfer of any Restricted Securities, unless there is in effect a
registration statement under the Securities Act covering the proposed transaction, the Holder
thereof shall give notice to the Company of such Holder’s intention to effect such sale, pledge, or
transfer. Each such notice shall describe the manner and circumstances of the proposed sale,
pledge, or transfer in sufficient detail and, if reasonably requested by the Company, shall be
accompanied at such Holder’s expense by either (i) a written opinion of legal counsel who shall,
and whose legal opinion shall, be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, addressed to the Company,
to the effect that the proposed transaction may be effected without registration under the
Securities Act; (ii) a “no action” letter from the SEC to the effect that the proposed sale,
pledge, or transfer of such Restricted Securities without registration will not result in a
recommendation by the staff of the SEC that action be taken with respect thereto; or (iii) any
other evidence reasonably satisfactory to counsel to the Company to the effect that the proposed
sale, pledge, or transfer of the Restricted Securities may be effected without registration under
the Securities Act, whereupon the Holder of such Restricted Securities shall be entitled to sell,
pledge, or transfer such Restricted Securities in accordance with the terms of the notice given by
the Holder to the Company. The Company will not require such a legal opinion or “no action” letter
(x) in any transaction in compliance with SEC Rule 144 or (y) in any transaction in which such
Holder distributes Restricted Securities to an Affiliate of such Holder for no consideration;
provided that each transferee agrees in writing to be subject to the terms of this Section
2.12. Each certificate or instrument evidencing the Restricted Securities transferred as above
provided shall bear, except if such transfer is made pursuant to SEC Rule 144, the appropriate
restrictive legend set forth in Section 2.12(b), except that such certificate shall not
bear such restrictive legend if, in the opinion of counsel for such Holder and the Company, such
legend is not required in order to establish compliance with any provisions of the Securities Act.
2.13 Termination of Registration Rights. The right of any Holder to request
registration or inclusion of Registrable Securities in any registration pursuant to Section
2.1 or Section 2.2 shall terminate when all of such Holder’s Registrable Securities
could be sold without restriction under SEC Rule 144(k).
3. Information and Observer Rights.
3.1 Delivery of Financial Statements. The Company shall deliver to the Major
Investor:
(a) as soon as practicable, but in any event within one hundred and twenty (120) days after
the end of each fiscal year of the Company, (i) an audited balance sheet as of the end of such
year, (ii) audited statements of income and of cash flows for such year and (iii) a statement of
stockholders’ equity as of the end of such year, all such financial statements audited and
certified by independent public accountants of nationally recognized standing selected by the

of the first three (3) quarters of each fiscal year of the Company, unaudited statements of income
and of cash flows for such fiscal quarter, and an unaudited balance sheet as of the end of such
fiscal quarter, all prepared in accordance with GAAP (except that such financial statements may (i)
be subject to normal year-end audit adjustments and (ii) not contain all notes thereto that may be
required in accordance with GAAP);
(c) as soon as practicable, but in any event within twenty-five (25) days of the end of each
month, an unaudited income statement and statement of cash flows for such month, and an unaudited
balance sheet as of the end of such month, all prepared in accordance with GAAP (except that such
financial statements may (i) be subject to normal year-end audit adjustments and (ii) not contain
all notes thereto that may be required in accordance with GAAP);
(d) as soon as practicable, but in any event thirty (30) days before the end of each fiscal
year, a budget and business plan for the next fiscal year (collectively, the “Budget”), approved by
the Board of Directors and prepared on a monthly basis, including balance sheets, income
statements, and statements of cash flow for such months and, promptly after prepared, any other
budgets or revised budgets prepared by the Company; and
(e) such other information relating to the financial condition, business, prospects, or
corporate affairs of the Company as any Major Investor may from time to time reasonably request;
provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated under this Section 3.1 to provide
information (i) that the Company reasonably determines in good faith to be a trade secret or
confidential information (unless covered by an enforceable confidentiality agreement, in form
acceptable to the Company) or (ii) the disclosure of which would adversely affect the
attorney-client privilege between the Company and its counsel.
If, for any period, the Company has any subsidiary whose accounts are consolidated with those
of the Company, then in respect of such period the financial statements delivered pursuant to the
foregoing sections shall be the consolidated and consolidating financial statements of the Company
and all such consolidated subsidiaries.
Notwithstanding anything else in this Section 3.1 to the contrary, the Company may cease
providing the information set forth in this Section 3.1 during the period starting with the date
thirty (30) days before the Company’s good-faith estimate of the date of filing of a registration
statement if it reasonably concludes it must do so to comply with the SEC rules applicable to such
registration statement and related offering; provided that the Company’s covenants under this
Section 3.1 shall be reinstated at such time as the Company is no longer actively employing its
commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective.
3.2 Inspection; Other Information. The Company shall permit the Major Investor, so
long as the Major Investor is not a competitor of the Company (but in no event will a private
equity or venture capital firm or investor (or other financial investment firm), or any Affiliate
thereof, be deemed to be a competitor of the Company), at such Major Investor’s expense, to visit
and inspect the Company’s properties; examine its books of account and
15
records; and discuss the Company’s affairs, finances, and accounts with its officers, during
normal business hours of the Company as may be reasonably requested by the Major Investor. In
addition, the Company shall provide to each of the Major Investors a (i) copy of any reports,
including any communications with shareholders or the financial community, the Company’s
accountants and business consultants may prepare, or which any governmental agencies and
authorities may prepare in respect of the Company (if the Company receives copies of any such
reports), (ii) copy of any reports filed by the Company or its officers, directors and
representatives with any securities exchange or the SEC and (iii) notice of any event which might
have a significant effect on the Company’s business or financial condition or on the Major
Investors’ investment in the Company, including the initiation of any legal action against the
Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be obligated pursuant to this
Section 3.2 to provide access to any information that it reasonably and in good faith considers to
be a trade secret or confidential information (unless covered by an enforceable confidentiality
agreement, in form acceptable to the Company) or the disclosure of which would adversely affect the
attorney-client privilege between the Company and its counsel.
3.3 Observer Rights. The Company shall invite a representative of Aisling Capital II,
LP to attend all meetings of its Board of Directors in a nonvoting observer capacity and, in this
respect, shall give such representative copies of all notices, minutes, consents, and other
materials that it provides to its directors at the same time and in the same manner as provided to
such directors, so long as Aisling Capital II, LP beneficially owns at least 10% of the shares of
Series B Preferred Stock that it beneficially owns as of the date hereof (as adjusted for any stock
split, stock dividend, combination, or other recapitalization or reclassification effected after
the date hereof). Aisling Capital II, LP may unilaterally terminate its rights under this Section
3.3 upon notice to the Company. In addition, the Company shall invite Xxxxx Xxxxx (if not then a
member of the Board of Directors) to attend all meetings of its Board of Directors in a nonvoting
observer capacity and, in this respect, shall give such representative copies of all notices,
minutes, consents, and other materials that it provides to its directors at the same time and in
the same manner as provided to such directors, so long as Xxxxx Xxxxx beneficially owns at least
10% of the shares of Common Stock that he beneficially owns as of the date hereof (as adjusted for
any stock split, stock dividend, combination, or other recapitalization or reclassification
effected after the date hereof).
3.4 Termination of Information and Observer Rights. The covenants set forth in
Section 3.1 shall terminate and be of no further force or effect immediately before the
consummation of a Qualified IPO.
4. Rights to Future Stock Issuances.
4.1 Right of First Offer. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section
4.1 and applicable securities laws, if the Company proposes to offer or sell any New
Securities, the Company shall first offer such New Securities to each Investor. An Investor shall
be entitled to apportion the right of first offer hereby granted to it among itself and its
Affiliates in such proportions as it deems appropriate.
(a) The Company shall give notice (the “Offer Notice”) to each Investor, stating (i) its bona
fide intention to offer such New Securities, (ii) the number of such
16
New Securities to be offered, and (iii) the price and terms, if any, upon which it proposes to
offer such New Securities.
(b) By notification to the Company within twenty (20) days after the Offer Notice is given,
each Investor may elect to purchase or otherwise acquire, at the price and on the terms specified
in the Offer Notice, up to that portion of such New Securities which equals the proportion that the
Common Stock issued and held, or issuable (directly or indirectly) upon conversion and/or exercise,
as applicable, of the Series B Preferred Stock and any other Derivative Securities then held, by
such Investor bears to the total number of shares of Common Stock of the Company then outstanding
(assuming full conversion and/or exercise, as applicable, of all Series B Preferred Stock and other
Derivative Securities). At the expiration of such twenty (20) day period, the Company shall
promptly notify each Investor that elects to purchase or acquire all the shares available to it
(each, a “Fully Exercising Investor”) of any other Investor’s failure to do likewise. During the
ten (10) day period commencing after the Company has given such notice, each Fully Exercising
Investor may, by giving notice to the Company, elect to purchase or acquire, in addition to the
number of shares specified above, up to that portion of the New Securities for which Investors were
entitled to subscribe but that were not subscribed for by the Investors which is equal to the
proportion that the Common Stock issued and held, or issuable (directly or indirectly) upon
conversion and/or exercise, as applicable, of Series B Preferred Stock and any other Derivative
Securities then held, by such Fully Exercising Investor bears to the total number of shares of
Common Stock issued and held, or issuable (directly or indirectly) upon conversion and/or exercise,
as applicable, of the Series B Preferred Stock and any other Derivative Securities then held, by
all Fully Exercising Investors who wish to purchase such unsubscribed shares. The closing of any
sale pursuant to this Section 4.1(b) shall occur within the later of ninety (90) days of
the date that the Offer Notice is given and the date of initial sale of New Securities pursuant to
Section 4.1(c).
(c) If all New Securities referred to in the Offer Notice are not elected to be purchased or
acquired as provided in Section 4.1(b), the Company may, during the ninety (90) day period
following the expiration of the periods provided in Section 4.1(b), offer and sell the
remaining unsubscribed portion of such New 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 Offer Notice.
If the Company does not enter into an agreement for the sale of the New Securities within such
period, or if such agreement is not consummated within thirty (30) days of the execution thereof,
the right provided hereunder shall be deemed to be revived and such New Securities shall not be
offered unless first reoffered to the Investors in accordance with this Section 4.1.
(d) The right of first offer in this Section 4.1 shall not be applicable to Exempted
Securities (as defined in the Charter) or shares of Common Stock issued in the IPO.
(e) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any Investor may assign its
rights under this Section 4.1 to any other Person, whether or not a shareholder of the Company.
4.2 Termination. The covenants set forth in Section 4.1 shall terminate and
be of no further force or effect immediately before the consummation of a Qualified IPO.
17
5. Additional Covenants.
5.1 Insurance. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain,
within sixty (60) days of the date hereof, from financially sound and reputable insurers Directors
and Officers liability insurance, and term “key-person” insurance on Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxx in an amount
and on terms and conditions satisfactory to the Board of Directors (including the Series B
Directors), and will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the insurance policy to be
maintained until such time as the Board of Directors (including the Series B Directors) determines
that such insurance should be discontinued. The key-person policy shall name the Company as loss
payee, and neither policy shall be cancelable by the Company without prior approval by the Board of
Directors (including the Series B Directors) and holders of a majority of the Series B Preferred
Stock.
5.2 Employee Agreements. The Company will cause (i) each person now or hereafter
employed by it or by any subsidiary (or engaged by the Company or any subsidiary as a
consultant/independent contractor) with access to confidential information and/or trade secrets to
enter into a nondisclosure and proprietary rights assignment agreement and (ii) each Key Employee
to enter into a two (2) year non-competition and non-solicitation agreement.
5.3 Employee Stock. Unless otherwise approved by the Board of Directors (including
the Series B Directors), all future employees and consultants of the Company who purchase, receive
options to purchase, or receive awards of shares of the Company’s capital stock after the date
hereof shall be required to execute restricted stock or option agreements, as applicable, providing
for (i) vesting of shares over a four (4) year period, with the first twenty-five percent (25%) of
such shares vesting following twelve (12) months of continued employment or service, and the
remaining shares vesting in equal Quarterly installments over the following thirty-six (36) months,
but will not automatically vest upon a change in control, (ii) a market stand-off provision
substantially similar to that in Section 2.11, and (iii) a repurchase right in favor of the
Company upon termination of employment (at the lower of cost or fair market value). In addition,
unless otherwise approved by the Board of Directors (including the Series B Directors), the
Company shall retain a “right of first refusal” on employee transfers until the IPO and shall have

options absent the approval of its compensation committee.

with an agreed-upon schedule. The Company shall reimburse the non-employee directors (and
observers appointed pursuant to Section 3.3) for all reasonable travel and out-of-pocket expenses

consolidation or otherwise, do any of the following without the written consent or affirmative vote
of the holders of sixty percent (60%) of the then outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock

provision shall be made so that the successors and assignees of the Company assume the obligations
of the Company with respect to indemnification of members of the Board of Directors as in effect
immediately before such transaction, whether such obligations are contained in the Company’s
Bylaws, its Charter, or elsewhere, as the case may be.
5.8 Termination of Covenants. The covenants set forth in this Section 5,
except for Section 5.7, shall terminate and be of no further force or effect immediately

which such rights are being transferred; and (y) such transferee agrees in a written instrument
delivered to the Company to be bound by and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement,
including the provisions of Section 2.11. For the purposes of determining the number of

Affiliate or stockholder of a Holder; (2) who is a Holder’s Immediate Family Member; or (3) that is
a trust for the benefit of an individual Holder or such Holder’s Immediate Family Member shall be
aggregated together and with those of the transferring Holder; provided further that all
transferees who would not qualify individually for assignment of rights shall have a single
attorney-in-fact for the purpose of exercising any rights, receiving notices, or taking any action
under this Agreement. The terms and conditions of this Agreement inure to the benefit of and are
binding upon the respective successors and permitted assignees of the parties. Nothing in this
Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer

assignees any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement,
except as expressly provided herein.

this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the General Corporation Law of
the State of Delaware as to matters within the scope thereof, and as to all other matters shall be

regard to conflict of law principles that would result in the application of any law other than the
law of the State of Delaware.
6.3 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of
which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same
instrument. This Agreement may also be executed and delivered by facsimile or PDF signature and in

6.6 Amendments and Waivers. Any term of this Agreement may be amended and the
observance of any term of this Agreement may be waived (either generally or in a particular
instance, and either retroactively or prospectively) only with the written consent of the Company
and the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities then outstanding; provided that
the Company may in its sole discretion waive compliance with Section 2.12(c) (and the
Company’s failure to object promptly in writing after notification of a proposed assignment
allegedly in violation of Section 2.12(c) shall be deemed to be a waiver); and provided
further that any provision hereof may be waived by any waiving party on such party’s own behalf,
without the consent of any other party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may not
20
be amended or terminated and the observance of any term hereof may not be waived with respect
to any Investor without the written consent of such Investor, unless such amendment, termination,
or waiver applies to all Investors in the same fashion (it being agreed that a waiver of the
provisions of Section 4 with respect to a particular transaction shall be deemed to apply
to all Investors in the same fashion if such waiver does so by its terms, notwithstanding the fact
that certain Investors may nonetheless, by agreement with the Company, purchase securities in such
transaction). The Company shall give prompt notice of any amendment or termination hereof or
waiver hereunder to any party hereto that did not consent in writing to such amendment,
termination, or waiver. Any amendment, termination, or waiver effected in accordance with this
Section 6.6 shall be binding on all parties hereto, regardless of whether any such party
has consented thereto. No waivers of or exceptions to any term, condition, or provision of this
Agreement, in any one or more instances, shall be deemed to be or construed as a further or
continuing waiver of any such term, condition, or provision.
6.7 Severability. In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this
Agreement is for any reason held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such
invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of this Agreement,
and such invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision shall be reformed and construed so that it
will be valid, legal, and enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by law.
6.8 Aggregation of Stock. All shares of Registrable Securities held or acquired by
Affiliates shall be aggregated together for the purpose of determining the availability of any
rights under this Agreement and such Affiliated persons may apportion such rights as among
themselves in any manner they deem appropriate.
6.9 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including any Schedules and Exhibits hereto)
constitutes the full and entire understanding and agreement among the parties with respect to the
subject matter hereof, and any other written or oral agreement relating to the subject matter
hereof existing between the parties is expressly canceled.
6.10 Dispute Resolution. The parties (a) hereby irrevocably and unconditionally
submit to the jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located within the geographic boundaries
of the United States District Court for the State of Delaware, Wilmington County, for the purpose
of any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of or based upon this Agreement, (b) agree not
to commence any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of or based upon this Agreement except
in the federal and state courts located within the geographic boundaries of the United States
District Court for the State of Delaware, Wilmington County, and (c) hereby waive, and agree not to
assert, by way of motion, as a defense, or otherwise, in any such suit, action or proceeding, any
claim that it is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts, that its
property is exempt or immune from attachment or execution, that the suit, action or proceeding is
brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the suit, action or proceeding is improper or
that this Agreement or the subject matter hereof may not be enforced in or by such court. Each of
the parties to this Agreement consents to personal jurisdiction for any equitable action sought in
the U.S. District Court for the State of Delaware or any court of the State of Delaware, Wilmington
County, having subject matter jurisdiction.
21
6.12 Delays or Omissions. No delay or omission to exercise any right, power, or
remedy accruing to any party under this Agreement, upon any breach or default of any other party
under this Agreement, shall impair any such right, power, or remedy of such nonbreaching or
nondefaulting party, nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of or acquiescence to any such breach
or default, or to any similar breach or default thereafter occurring, nor shall any waiver of any
single breach or default be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default theretofore or
thereafter occurring. All remedies, whether under this Agreement or by law or otherwise afforded
to any party, shall be cumulative and not alternative.
6.13 Acknowledgment. The Company acknowledges that the Investors are in the business
of venture capital investing and therefore review the business plans and related proprietary
information of many enterprises, including enterprises which may have products or services which
compete directly or indirectly with those of the Company. Nothing in this Agreement shall preclude
or in any way restrict the Investors from investing or participating in any particular enterprise
whether or not such enterprise has products or services which compete with those of the Company.
6.14 Unredeemed Shares. Whenever any action may be taken by the holders of Series B
Preferred Stock pursuant to this Agreement, including without limitation any consent, waiver or
approval of the holders of Series B Preferred Stock necessary to take any action pursuant to this
Agreement or waive compliance with any provision of this Agreement, any shares of Unredeemed Stock
(as defined in the Restated Certificate) shall be deemed to be outstanding for all purposes, and
such action may be taken, and consent, waiver or approval made, by the consent of the holders of a
majority in interest of the then outstanding Series B Preferred Stock (including the Unredeemed
Shares).

except that the representative may be excluded from access to any material or meeting or portion

a scheduled meeting of the Board or such other time, if any, as the Board may determine in its sole
discretion, such representative may address the Board with respect to Investor’s concerns regarding

“Undersubscription Notice” means written notice from an Investor notifying the Company and the
Transferring Holder that such Investor intends to exercise its option to purchase all or any
portion of the Transfer Stock not purchased pursuant to the Right of First Refusal.
2. Agreement Among the Company, the Investors and the Common Holders.
2.1 Right of First Refusal.
(a) Grant. Subject to the terms of Section 3 below, including, with respect
to the Common Holders, Section 3.3, each Common Holder and Investor hereby unconditionally
and irrevocably grants to the Investors (other than the transferring Investor) the right to
purchase all or any portion of Transfer Stock that a Common Holder or Investor may propose to
transfer (a “Transferring Holder”), at the same price and on the same terms and conditions as
those offered to the Prospective Transferee (the “Right of First Refusal”).
(b) Notice. Each Transferring Holder must deliver a Proposed Transfer Notice to the
Company and each Investor (other than the Transferring Holder) not later than forty-five (45) days
prior to the consummation of the proposed transfer (a “Proposed Transfer”). Such Proposed Transfer
Notice shall contain the material terms and conditions (including price and form of consideration)
of the Proposed Transfer and the identity of the Prospective Transferee. To exercise its Right of
First Refusal under this Section 2, the Investor must deliver an Investor Notice to the
Transferring Holder within thirty (30) days after delivery of the Proposed Transfer Notice. In the
event of a conflict between this Agreement and any other agreement that may have been entered into
by a Transferring Holder that contains a preexisting right of first refusal, the Company, Investor
and the Common Holder acknowledge and agree that the terms of this Agreement shall control and the
preexisting right of first refusal shall be deemed satisfied by compliance with Section
2.1(a) and this Section 2.1 (b).
(c) Undersubscription of Transfer Stock. If options to purchase have been exercised
by the Investors with respect to some but not all of the Transfer Stock by the end of the 30-day
period specified in Section 2.1(b)) (the “Investor Notice Period”), then the Company shall,
immediately after the expiration of the Investor Notice Period, send written notice (the “Company
Undersubscription Notice”) to those Investors who fully exercised their Right of First Refusal
within the Investor Notice Period (the “Exercising Investors”). Each Exercising Investor shall,
subject to the provisions of this Section 2.1, have an additional option to purchase all or
any part of the balance of any such remaining unsubscribed shares of Transfer Stock on the terms
and conditions set forth in the Proposed Transfer Notice. To exercise such option, an Exercising
Investor must deliver an Undersubscription Notice to the Transferring Holder and the Company within
ten (10) days after the expiration of the Investor Notice Period. In the event there are two or
more such Exercising Investors that choose to exercise the last-mentioned option for a total number
of remaining shares in excess of the number available, the remaining shares available for purchase
under this Section 2.1(c) shall be allocated to such Exercising Investors pro rata based on
the number of shares of Transfer Stock such Exercising
3
Investors have elected to purchase pursuant to the Right of First Refusal (without giving
effect to any shares of Transfer Stock that any such Exercising Investor has elected to purchase
pursuant to the Company Undersubscription Notice). If the options to purchase the remaining shares
are exercised in full by the Exercising Investors, the Company shall immediately notify all of the
Exercising Investors and the Transferring Holder of that fact.
(e) Consideration; Closing. If the consideration proposed to be paid for the Transfer
Stock is in property, services or other non-cash consideration, the fair market value of the
consideration shall be as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors. If any
Investor cannot for any reason pay for the Transfer Stock in the same form of non-cash
consideration, such Investor may pay the cash value equivalent thereof, as determined in good faith
by the Board of Directors. The closing of the purchase of Transfer Stock by the Investors shall
take place, and all payments from the Investors shall have been delivered to the Transferring
Holder, by the later of (i) the date specified in the Proposed Transfer Notice as the intended date
of the proposed transfer and (ii) forty-five (45) days after delivery of the Proposed Transfer
Notice.
2.2 Right of Co-Sale.
(a) Exercise of Right. If any Transfer Stock subject to a Proposed Transfer is not
purchased pursuant to Section 2.1 above and thereafter is to be sold to a Prospective
Transferee, each respective Investor may elect to exercise its Right of Co-Sale and participate on
a pro rata basis in the Proposed Transfer as set forth in Section 2.2(b) below and
otherwise on the same terms and conditions specified in the Proposed Transfer Notice (provided that
if an Investor wishes to sell Series B Preferred Stock, the price set forth in the Proposed
Transfer Notice shall be appropriately adjusted based on the conversion ratio of the Series B
Preferred Stock into Common Stock). Each Investor who desires to exercise its Right of Co-Sale must
give the Transferring Holder written notice to that effect within fifteen (15) days after the
deadline for delivery of the notice described above in Section 2.1(b), and upon giving such
notice such Investor shall be deemed to have effectively exercised the Right of Co-Sale.
(b) Shares Includable. Each Investor who timely exercises such Investor’s Right of
Co-Sale by delivering the written notice provided for above in Section 2.2(a) may include
in the Proposed Transfer all or any part of such Investor’s Capital Stock equal to the product
obtained by multiplying (i) the aggregate number of shares of Transfer Stock subject to the
Proposed Transfer (excluding shares purchased by the Investors pursuant to the Right of First
Refusal) by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of Capital Stock owned
by such Investor immediately before consummation of the Proposed Transfer and the denominator of
which is the total number of shares of Capital Stock owned, in the aggregate, by all Investors
immediately prior to the consummation of the Proposed Transfer, plus the number of shares of
Transfer Stock held by the Transferring Holders. To the extent one or more of the Investors
exercise such right of participation in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth herein,
the number of shares of Transfer Stock that the Transferring Holder may sell in the Proposed
Transfer shall be correspondingly reduced.
(c) Delivery of Certificates. Each Investor shall effect its participation in the
Proposed Transfer by delivering to the Transferring Holder, no later than fifteen (15) days
4
after such Investor’s exercise of the Right of Co-Sale, one or more stock certificates,
properly endorsed for transfer to the Prospective Transferee, representing:
(i) the number of shares of Common Stock that such Investor elects to include in the Proposed
Transfer; or
(ii) the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock that is at such time convertible into the
number of shares of Common Stock that such Investor elects to include in the Proposed Transfer;
provided, however, that if the Prospective Transferee objects to the delivery of
convertible Series B Preferred Stock in lieu of Common Stock, such Investor shall first convert the
Series B Preferred Stock into Common Stock and deliver Common Stock as provided above. The Company
agrees to make any such conversion concurrent with and contingent upon the actual transfer of such
shares to the Prospective Transferee.
(d) Purchase Agreement. The parties hereby agree that the terms and conditions of any
sale pursuant to this Section 2.2 will be memorialized in, and governed by, a written
purchase and sale agreement with customary terms and provisions for such a transaction and the
parties further covenant and agree to enter into such an agreement as a condition precedent to any
sale or other transfer pursuant to this Section 2.2.
(e) Deliveries. Each stock certificate an Investor delivers to the Transferring Holder
pursuant to Section 2.2(c) above will be transferred to the Prospective Transferee against
payment therefor in consummation of the sale of the Transfer Stock pursuant to the terms and
conditions specified in the Proposed Transfer Notice and the purchase and sale agreement, and the
Transferring Holder shall concurrently therewith remit or direct payment to each Investor the
portion of the sale proceeds to which such Investor is entitled by reason of its participation in
such sale. If any Prospective Transferee or Transferees refuse(s) to purchase securities subject
to the Right of Co-Sale from any Investor exercising its Right of Co-Sale hereunder, no
Transferring Holder may sell any Transfer Stock to such Prospective Transferee or Transferees
unless and until, simultaneously with such sale, such Transferring Holder purchases all securities
subject to the Right of Co-Sale from such Investor on the same terms and conditions (including the
proposed purchase price) as set forth in the Proposed Transfer Notice.
(f) Additional Compliance. If any Proposed Transfer is not consummated within ninety
(90) days after receipt of the Proposed Transfer Notice by the Company, the Transferring Holder
proposing the Proposed Transfer may not sell any Transfer Stock unless they first comply in full
with each provision of this Section 2. The exercise or election not to exercise any right
by any Investor hereunder shall not adversely affect its right to participate in any other sales of
Transfer Stock subject to this Section 2.2.
2.3 Effect of Failure to Comply.
(a) Transfer Void; Equitable Relief. Any Proposed Transfer not made in compliance with
the requirements of this Agreement shall be null and void ab initio, shall not be recorded on the
books of the Company or its transfer agent and shall not be recognized by the Company. Each party
hereto acknowledges and agrees that any breach of this Agreement would result in substantial harm
to the other parties hereto for which monetary damages alone could not
5
adequately compensate. Therefore, the parties hereto unconditionally and irrevocably agree
that any non-breaching party hereto shall be entitled to seek protective orders, injunctive relief
and other remedies available at law or in equity (including, without limitation, seeking specific
performance or the rescission of purchases, sales and other transfers of Transfer Stock not made in
strict compliance with this Agreement).
(b) Violation of First Refusal Right. If any Transferring Holder becomes obligated to
sell any Transfer Stock to any Investor under this Agreement and fails to deliver such Transfer
Stock in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such Investor may, at its option, in addition
to all other remedies it may have, send to such Transferring Holder the purchase price for such
Transfer Stock as is herein specified and transfer to the name of such Investor (or request that
the Company effect such transfer in the name of an Investor) on the Company’s books the certificate
or certificates representing the Transfer Stock to be sold.
(c) Violation of Co-Sale Right. If any Transferring Holder purports to sell any
Transfer Stock in contravention of the Right of Co-Sale (a “Prohibited Transfer”), each Investor
who desires to exercise its Right of Co-Sale under Section 2.2 may, in addition to such
remedies as may be available by law, in equity or hereunder, require such Transferring Holder to
purchase from such Investor the type and number of shares of Capital Stock that such Investor would
have been entitled to sell to the Prospective Transferee under Section 2.2 had the
Prohibited Transfer been effected pursuant to and in compliance with the terms of Section
2.2. The sale will be made on the same terms and subject to the same conditions as would have
applied had the Transferring Holder not made the Prohibited Transfer, except that the sale
(including, without limitation, the delivery of the purchase price) must be made within ninety (90)
days after the Investor learns of the Prohibited Transfer, as opposed to the timeframe proscribed
in Section 2.2. Such Transferring Holder shall also reimburse each Investor for any and
all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses, including reasonable legal fees and
expenses, incurred pursuant to the exercise or the attempted exercise of the Investor’s rights
under Section 2.2.
3. Exempt Transfers.
3.1 Exempted Transfers. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary herein,
the provisions of Sections 2.1, 2.2 and 3.3 shall not apply: (a) in the
case of a Common Holder or Investor that is an entity, upon a transfer by such Common Holder or
Investor to its stockholders, members, partners or other equity holders, or other Affiliates, (b)
to a repurchase of Capital Stock from a Common Holder or Investor by the Company at a price no
greater than the lower of (i) the price originally paid by such Common Holder or Investor for such
Capital Stock and (ii) the current fair market value of such Capital Stock, as determined in good
faith by the Company’s Board of Directors, and pursuant to an agreement containing vesting and/or
repurchase provisions approved by a majority of the Board of Directors (not including any directors
Affiliated with the Common Holder), or (c) in the case of a Common Holder that is a natural person,
upon a transfer of Capital Stock by such Common Holder made for bona fide estate planning purposes,
either during his or her lifetime or on death by will or intestacy to his or her spouse, child
(natural or adopted), or any other direct lineal descendant of such Common Holder (or his or her
spouse) (all of the foregoing collectively referred to as “family members”), or any other relative/person
approved by unanimous consent of the Board
6
of Directors of the Company, or any custodian or trustee
of any trust, partnership or limited liability company for the benefit of, or the ownership
interests of which are owned wholly by, such Common Holder or any such family members, or to a
charitable remainder trust; provided that in the case the transferring Common Holder or
Investor shall deliver prior written notice to the Company and the other Investors of such transfer
and such shares of Capital Stock shall at all times remain subject to the terms and restrictions
set forth in this Agreement and such transferee shall, as a condition to such issuance, deliver a
counterpart signature page to this Agreement as confirmation that such transferee shall be bound by
all the terms and conditions of this Agreement in the same capacity as the transferring shareholder
(but only with respect to the securities so transferred to the transferee), including the
obligations with respect to proposed transfers of Capital Stock pursuant to Section 2 and,
with respect to the Common Holders, pursuant to Section 3.3; and provided,
further, in the case of any transfer pursuant to clause (a) or (c) above, that such
transfer is made pursuant to a transaction in which there is no consideration actually paid for
such transfer.
3.2 Exempted Offerings. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary herein,
the provisions of Section 2 and Section 3.3 shall not apply to the sale of any
Transfer Stock (a) to the public in an offering pursuant to an effective registration statement
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (a “Public Offering”) or (b) pursuant to a Deemed
Liquidation Event (as defined in the Charter).
3.3 Prohibited Transferees. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Common Holder shall
transfer any Transfer Stock to any entity which, in the determination of the Company’s Board of
Directors, directly or indirectly competes with the Company (but in no event will a private equity
or venture capital firm or investor (or other financial investment firm), or any Affiliate thereof,
be deemed to be a competitor of the Company).
4. Legend. Each certificate representing shares of Transfer Stock held by the Common
Holders or issued to any permitted transferee in connection with a transfer permitted by
Section 3(a) hereof shall be endorsed with the following legend:
THE SALE, PLEDGE, HYPOTHECATION OR TRANSFER OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS
CERTIFICATE IS SUBJECT TO, AND IN CERTAIN CASES PROHIBITED BY, THE TERMS AND
CONDITIONS OF A CERTAIN RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL AND CO-SALE AGREEMENT BY AND AMONG
THE STOCKHOLDER, THE CORPORATION AND CERTAIN OTHER HOLDERS OF STOCK OF THE
CORPORATION. COPIES OF SUCH AGREEMENT MAY BE OBTAINED UPON WRITTEN REQUEST TO THE
SECRETARY OF THE CORPORATION.
Each Common Holder agrees that the Company may instruct its transfer agent to impose transfer
restrictions on the shares represented by certificates bearing the legend referred to in this
Section 4 above to enforce the provisions of this Agreement, and the Company agrees to promptly do
so. The legend shall be removed upon termination of this Agreement at the request of the holder.
7
5. Lock-Up.
5.1 Agreement to Lock-Up. Each Common Holder hereby agrees that it will not, without the
prior written consent of the managing underwriter, during the period commencing on the date of the
final prospectus relating to the Company’s initial public offering (the “IPO”) and ending on the
date specified by the Company and the managing underwriter (such period not to exceed l80 days) or,
if required by such underwriter, such longer period of time as is necessary to enable such
underwriter to issue a research report or make a public appearance that relates to an earnings
release or announcement by the Company within 15 days prior to or after the date that is one
hundred eighty (180) days after the effective date of the registration statement relating to such
offering, but in any event not to exceed two hundred ten (210) days following the effective date of
the registration statement relating to such offering (a) lend, offer, pledge, sell, contract to
sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any
option, right or warrant to purchase, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly,
any shares of Capital Stock held immediately prior to the effectiveness of the registration
statement for the IPO or (b) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in
whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Capital Stock, whether any
such transaction described in clause (a) or (b) above is to be settled by delivery of Capital Stock
or other securities, in cash or otherwise. The foregoing provisions of this Section 5
shall not apply to the sale of any shares to an underwriter pursuant to an underwriting agreement.
The underwriters in connection with the IPO are intended third-party beneficiaries of this
Section 5 and shall have the right, power and authority to enforce the provisions hereof as
though they were a party hereto. Each Common Holder further agrees to execute such agreements as
may be reasonably requested by the underwriters in the IPO that are consistent with this
Section 5 or that are necessary to give further effect thereto.
5.2 Stop Transfer Instructions. In order to enforce the foregoing covenant, the Company may
impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the shares of Capital Stock of each Common
Holder (and transferees and assignees thereof) until the end of such restricted period.

prior to the consummation of a Qualified IPO and (b) a Deemed Liquidation Event.

appropriately adjusted to reflect any stock dividend, split, combination or other recapitalization
affecting the Capital Stock occurring after the date of this Agreement.
6.3 Ownership. Each Common Holder represents and warrants that such Common Holder is the
sole legal and beneficial owner of the shares of Transfer Stock subject to this Agreement and that
no other person or entity has any interest in such shares (other than a community property interest
as to which the holder thereof has acknowledged and agreed in writing to the restrictions and
obligations hereunder).
8
6.4 Dispute Resolution. The parties (a) hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submit to
the jurisdiction of the state courts of Delaware, Wilmington County, and to the jurisdiction of the
United States District Court for the State of Delaware for the purpose of any suit, action or other
proceeding arising out of or based upon this Agreement, (b) agree not to commence any suit, action
or other proceeding arising out of or based upon this Agreement except in the state courts of
Delaware, Wilmington County, or the United States District Court for the State of Delaware, and (c)
hereby waive, and agree not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense, or otherwise, in any such
suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of the
above-named courts, that its property is exempt or immune from attachment or execution, that the
suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the suit, action
or proceeding is improper or that this Agreement or the subject matter hereof may not be enforced
in or by such court. Each of the parties to this Agreement consents to personal jurisdiction for
any equitable action sought in the U.S. District Court for the State of Delaware or any court of
the State of Delaware, Wilmington County, having subject matter jurisdiction.

6.7 Delays or Omissions. No delay or omission to exercise any right, power or remedy
accruing to any party under this Agreement, upon any breach or default of any other party under
this Agreement, shall impair any such right, power or remedy of such non-breaching or

Holder without the written consent of such Investor or Common Holder unless such amendment,
modification, termination or waiver applies to all Investors and Common Holders, respectively, in
the same fashion and (ii) the consent of the Common Holders shall not be required for any
amendment, modification, termination or waiver if such amendment, modification, termination or
waiver does not apply to the Common Holders. The Company shall give prompt written notice of any
amendment, modification or termination hereof or waiver hereunder to any party hereto that did not
consent in writing to such amendment, modification, termination or waiver. No waivers of or exceptions to any term, condition or provision of this
Agreement, in any one or more instances, shall be deemed to be, or construed as, a further or
continuing waiver of any such term, condition or provision.

this Agreement.
(b) Any successor or permitted assignee of any Common Holder, including any Prospective

recapitalization or other similar transaction), it being acknowledged and agreed that any such
assignment, including an assignment contemplated by the preceding clauses (i) or (ii) shall be
subject to and conditioned upon any such assignee’s delivery to the Company and the other Investors
of a counterpart signature page hereto pursuant to which such assignee shall confirm their
agreement to be subject to and bound by all of the provisions set forth in this Agreement that
were applicable to the assignor of such assignee.
(d) Except in connection with an assignment by the Company by operation of law to the acquirer
of the Company, the rights and obligations of the Company hereunder may not be assigned under any
circumstances.

VOTING AGREEMENT
This VOTING AGREEMENT is made and entered into as of this [___]th day of November,
2007, by and among Planet Technologies, Inc., a California corporation (including its predecessors,
successors and assigns, including the successor of the Company resulting from the Company’s
reincorporation in Delaware, the “Company”), each holder of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock
no par value per share (“Series B Preferred Stock”) as listed on Schedule A, (together with
any subsequent stockholders, or any transferees, who become parties hereto as holders of Series B
Preferred Stock pursuant to Sections 6.1 or 6.2 below, the “Investors”) and the holders of
record of the shares of common stock of the Company, no par value (“Common Stock”) listed on
Schedule B (together with any subsequent stockholders, or any transferees, who become
parties hereto as holders of Common Stock pursuant to Sections 6.1 or 6.2 below, the
“Common Holders”, and together collectively with the Investors, the “Stockholders”).
RECITALS
Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, the Company and the Investors are entering
into a Series B Preferred
Stock Purchase Agreement (the “
Purchase Agreement”) providing for the
sale of shares of the Series B Preferred Stock, and in connection with that agreement the parties
desire to provide the Investors with the right, among other rights, to designate the election of
certain members of the board of directors of the Company (the “
Board”) in accordance with the terms
of this Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:
1. Voting Provisions Regarding Board of Directors.
1.1 Size of the Board. Each Stockholder agrees to vote, or cause to be voted, all
Shares (as defined below) owned by such Stockholder, or over which such Stockholder has voting
control, from time to time and at all times, in whatever manner as shall be necessary to ensure
that the size of the Board shall be set and remain at five directors; provided that at the election
of holders of a majority of the outstanding Series B Preferred Stock (the “Board Expansion Right”),
the Board shall be increased by two members, for a total of seven members. For purposes of this
Agreement, the term “Shares” shall mean and include any securities of the Company the holders of
which are entitled to vote for members of the Board, including without limitation, all shares of
Common Stock and Series B Preferred Stock, by whatever name called, now owned or subsequently
acquired by a Stockholder, however acquired, whether through stock splits, stock dividends,
reclassifications, recapitalizations, similar events or otherwise.
1.2 Board Composition. Each Stockholder agrees to vote, or cause to be voted, all
Shares owned by such Stockholder, or over which such Stockholder has voting control, from time to
time and at all times, in whatever manner as shall be necessary to ensure that at each annual or
special meeting of stockholders at which an election of directors is held or pursuant to any
written consent of the stockholders, the following persons shall be elected to the Board:
(a) Xxxxx Xxxxx;
(b) One individual nominated by Xxxxx Xxxxx, which individual shall initially be Xxxxxx
X. Xxxxxx;
(c) One individual nominated by Xxxxx Xxxxx and who is reasonably acceptable to the
holders of record of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock, which individual shall
initially be Xxx Xxxxxxxxxx; and
(d) Two persons designated by the holders of a majority of the Series B Preferred Stock
(acting through Aisling Capital II, L.P.), which individuals shall initially be Xxxxxx
Xxxxxx and Xxxxx Xxxx; provided that in the event that the Board Expansion Right is
exercised, the foregoing will be increased to four persons, all of whom will be designated
by the holders of a majority of the Series B Preferred Stock (acting through Aisling Capital
II, L.P.).
To the extent that any of clauses (a) through (d) above shall not be applicable, any member of
the Board who would otherwise have been designated in accordance with the terms thereof shall
instead be voted upon by all the stockholders of the Company entitled to vote thereon in accordance
with, and pursuant to, the Company’s organizational documents.
During the term of this Agreement, the Company shall cause the board of directors (or similar
governing body) of each direct or indirect subsidiary of the Company to be identical to the Board.
For purposes of this Agreement, an individual, firm, corporation, partnership, association,
limited liability company, trust or any other entity (collectively, a “Person”) shall be deemed an
“Affiliate” of another Person who, directly or indirectly, controls, is controlled by or is under
common control with such Person, including, without limitation, any general partner, managing
member, officer or director of such Person or any venture capital fund now or hereafter existing
that is controlled by one or more general partners or managing members of, or shares the same
management company with, such Person.
The Board Expansion Right may be exercised at any time by the holders of a majority of the
Series B Preferred Stock (acting through Aisling Capital II, L.P.) by delivering a written notice
to the Company. In the event that any such notice is delivered, the Company and each Stockholder
shall use their best efforts for the Board to be expanded to seven members, and to cause the two
additional persons designated by the holders of a majority of the Series B Preferred Stock (acting
through Aisling Capital II, L.P.) to become members of the Board.
1.3 Failure to Designate a Board Member. In the absence of any designation from the
Persons or groups with the right to designate a director as specified above, the director
previously designated by them and then serving shall be reelected if still eligible to serve as
provided herein.
1.4 Removal of Board Members. Each Stockholder also agrees to vote, or cause to be
voted, all Shares owned by such Stockholder, or over which such Stockholder has
2
voting control,
from time to time and at all times, in whatever manner as shall be necessary to ensure that:
(a) no director elected pursuant to Sections 1.2 or 1.3 of this
Agreement may be removed from office other than for cause unless (i) such removal is
directed or approved by the affirmative vote of the Person, or of the holders of at least a
majority of the shares of stock, entitled under Section 1.2 to designate that
director or (ii) the Person(s) originally entitled to designate or approve such director or
occupy such Board seat pursuant to Section 1.2 is no longer so entitled to designate
or approve such director or occupy such Board seat;
(b) any vacancies created by the resignation, removal or death of a director elected
pursuant to Sections 1.2 or 1.3 shall be filled pursuant to the provisions of this
Section 1; and
(c) upon the request of any party entitled to designate a director as provided in
Section 1.2(a) or 1.2(b) to remove such director, such director shall be removed.
All Stockholders agree to execute any written consents required to perform the obligations of this
Agreement, and the Company agrees at the request of any party entitled to designate directors to
call a special meeting of stockholders for the purpose of electing directors.
1.5 No Liability for Election of Recommended Directors. No Stockholder, nor any
Affiliate of any Stockholder, shall have any liability as a result of designating a person for
election as a director for any act or omission by such designated person in his or her capacity as
a director of the Company, nor shall any Stockholder have any liability as a result of voting for
any such designee in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.
2. Additional Voting.
2.1 Each Stockholder agrees to vote or cause to be voted all Shares owned by such Stockholder,
or over which such Stockholder has voting control, from time to time and at all times, in whatever
manner as shall be necessary to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock from time
to time to ensure that there will be sufficient shares of Common Stock available for conversion of
all of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock outstanding at any given time.
2.2 Each Stockholder agrees to vote or cause to be voted all Shares owned by such Stockholder,
or over which such Stockholder has voting control, from time to time and at all times, in whatever
manner as shall be necessary to approve the Company’s first underwritten public offering of its
Common Stock under the Securities Act o f 1933, as amended, with aggregate proceeds of at least
$25,000,000 and a per share price of at least $5.625 (subject to appropriate adjustment in the
event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination or other similar recapitalization with
respect to the Common Stock), so long as such registration (i) is to be underwritten by a reputable
underwriter with a national reputation, and (ii) has been approved by a majority of the Board.
3
2.3 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 3.1 of the Certificate of
Determination of Preferences of the Series B Preferred Stock, for so long as the shares of Series B
Preferred Stock are not convertible pursuant to Section 4.3 therein, the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock shall vote as a separate class on all matters on which holders
of Common Stock are entitled to vote and the consent of the holders of a majority of the
outstanding shares of Series B Stock shall be required, in addition to the consent of the holders
of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, on all matters on which the holders of
Common Stock are entitled to vote; provided, however, that upon the written consent of the holders
of a majority of the outstanding shares of Series B Stock, this sentence shall terminate and be of
no further force and effect. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the rights pursuant to
the immediately preceding sentence for the Series B Preferred Stock to vote as a separate class
extend beyond such time as when shares of Series B Preferred Stock are convertible pursuant to
Section 4.3 of the Certificate of Determination of Preferences of the Series B Preferred Stock.
3. Bring-Along Right.
3.1 Sale of the Company. A “Sale of the Company” shall mean a transaction or series
of related transactions in which a Person, or a group of related Persons, acquires from
stockholders of the Company, in an arms-length transaction, shares representing more than fifty
percent (50%) of the outstanding voting power of the Company (a “Stock Sale”).
3.2 Actions to be Taken. In the event that at any time on or after the third
(3rd) anniversary of the date hereof, the holders representing at least fifty percent
(50%) of the then outstanding shares of the Series B Preferred Stock (the “Selling Investors”)
approves a Sale of the Company, specifying that this Section 3 shall apply to such
transaction, then each Stockholder, hereby agrees:
(a) if such transaction requires stockholder approval, with respect to all Shares that
such Stockholder owns or over which such Stockholder otherwise exercises voting power, to
vote (in person, by proxy or by action by written consent, as applicable) all Shares in
favor of, and adopt, such Sale of the Company (together with any related amendment to the
Company’s organizational documents required in order to implement such Sale of the Company)
and to vote in opposition to any and all other proposals that could reasonably be expected
to delay or impair the ability of the Company to consummate such Sale of the Company;
(b) if such transaction is a Stock Sale, to sell the same proportion of shares of
capital stock of the Company beneficially held by such Stockholder as is being sold by the
Selling Investors to the Person to whom the Selling Investors propose to sell their Shares,
and, except as permitted in Section 3.3 below, on the same terms and conditions as
the Selling Investors;
(c) to execute and deliver all related documentation and take such other action in
support of the Sale of the Company as shall reasonably be requested by the Company or the
Selling Investors in order to carry out the terms and provision of this Section 3,
including without limitation executing and delivering instruments of
conveyance
4
and transfer, and any purchase agreement, merger agreement, indemnity agreement, escrow
agreement, consent, waiver, governmental filing, share certificates duly endorsed for transfer (free and clear of impermissible liens, claims and encumbrances) and any
similar or related documents;
(d) not to deposit, and to cause their Affiliates not to deposit, except as provided in
this Agreement, any Shares of the Company owned by such party or Affiliate in a voting trust
or subject any Shares to any arrangement or agreement with respect to the voting of such
Shares, unless specifically requested to do so by the acquiror in connection with the Sale
of the Company;
(e) to refrain from exercising any dissenters’ rights or rights of appraisal under
applicable law at any time with respect to such Sale of the Company; and
(f) if the consideration to be paid in exchange for the Shares pursuant to this
Section 3 includes any securities and due receipt thereof by any Stockholder would
require under applicable law (x) the registration or qualification of such securities or of
any person as a broker or dealer or agent with respect to such securities or (y) the
provision to any Stockholder of any information other than such information as a prudent
issuer would generally furnish in an offering made solely to “accredited investors” as
defined in Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the
Company may cause to be paid to any such Stockholder in lieu thereof, against surrender of
the Shares which would have otherwise been sold by such Stockholder, an amount in cash equal
to the fair value (as determined in good faith by the Company) of the securities which such
Stockholder would otherwise receive as of the date of the issuance of such securities in
exchange for the Shares.
3.3 Exceptions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Stockholder will not be required to
comply with Section 3.2 above in connection with any proposed Sale of the Company (the
“Proposed Sale”) unless:
(a) any representations and warranties to be made by such Stockholder in connection
with the Proposed Sale are limited to representations and warranties related to authority,
ownership and the ability to convey title to such Shares, including but not limited to
representations and warranties that (i) the Stockholder holds all right, title and interest
in and to the Shares such Stockholder purports to hold, free and clear of all liens and
encumbrances, (ii) the obligations of the Stockholder in connection with the transaction
have been duly authorized, if applicable, (iii) the documents to be entered into by the
Stockholder have been duly executed by the Stockholder and delivered to the acquirer and are
enforceable against the Stockholder in accordance with their respective terms and (iv)
neither the execution and delivery of documents to be entered into in connection with the
transaction, nor the performance of the Stockholder’s obligations thereunder, will cause a
breach or violation of the terms of any agreement, law or judgment, order or decree of any
court or governmental agency;
(b) the Stockholder shall not be liable for the inaccuracy of any representation or
warranty made by any other Person in connection with the Proposed
5
Sale, other than the Company (except to the extent that funds may be paid out of an escrow established to cover
breach of representations, warranties and covenants of the Company as well as breach by any stockholder of any of identical representations,
warranties and covenants provided by all stockholders);
(c) the liability for indemnification, if any, of such Stockholder in the Proposed Sale
and for the inaccuracy of any representations and warranties made by the Company in
connection with such Proposed Sale, is several and not joint with any other Person (except
to the extent that funds may be paid out of an escrow established to cover breach of
representations, warranties and covenants of the Company as well as breach by any
stockholder of any of identical representations, warranties and covenants provided by all
stockholders), and is pro rata in proportion to the amount of consideration paid to such
Stockholder in connection with such Proposed Sale (in accordance with the provisions of the
Company’s organizational documents;
(d) liability shall be limited to such Stockholder’s applicable share (determined
based on the respective proceeds payable to each Stockholder in connection with such
Proposed Sale in accordance with the provisions of the Company’s organizational documents)
of a negotiated aggregate indemnification amount that applies equally to all Stockholders
but that in no event exceeds the amount of consideration otherwise payable to such
Stockholder in connection with such Proposed Sale, except with respect to claims related to
fraud by such Stockholder, the liability for which need not be limited as to such
Stockholder;
(e) upon the consummation of the Proposed Sale, (i) each holder of each class or series
of the Company’s stock will receive the same form of consideration for their shares of such
class or Series as is received by other holders in respect of their shares of such same
class or series of stock, (ii) each holder of Series B Preferred Stock will receive the
same amount of consideration per share of such Series B Preferred Stock as is received by
other holders in respect of their shares of such same series, (iii) each holder of Common
Stock will receive the same amount of consideration per share of Common Stock as is received
by other holders in respect of their shares of Common Stock, and (iv) unless the holders of
at least sixty percent (60%) of the Series B Preferred Stock elect otherwise by written
notice given to the Company at least five (5) days prior to the effective date of any such
Proposed Sale, the aggregate consideration receivable by all holders of the Series B
Preferred Stock and Common Stock shall be allocated among the holders of Series B Preferred
Stock and Common Stock on the basis of the relative liquidation preferences to which the
holders of Series B Preferred Stock and the holders of Common Stock are entitled in a Deemed
Liquidation Event (assuming for this purpose that the Proposed Sale is a Deemed Liquidation
Event) in accordance with the Company’s organizational documents of Incorporation in effect
immediately prior to the Proposed Sale; and
(f) subject to clause (e) above, requiring the same form of consideration to be
available to the holders of any single class or series of capital stock, if any holders of
any capital stock of the Company are given an option as to the form and
6
amount of consideration to be received as a result of the Proposed Sale, all holders of such capital
stock will be given the same option.
3.4 Restrictions on Sales of Control of the Company. No Stockholder shall be a party
to any Stock Sale unless all holders of Series B Preferred Stock are allowed to participate in such
transaction and the consideration received pursuant to such transaction is allocated among the
parties thereto in the manner specified in the Company’s organizational documents in effect
immediately prior to the Stock Sale, unless the holders of at least sixty percent (60%) of the then
outstanding Series B Preferred Stock elect otherwise by written notice given to the Company at
least 30 days prior to the effective date of any such transaction or series of related
transactions.
4. Remedies.

requirements of applicable law, to ensure that the rights granted under this Agreement are

directors as provided in this Agreement.
4.2 Irrevocable Proxy. Each party to this Agreement hereby constitutes and appoints

the terms of this Agreement (including in connection with the expansion of the Board in connection
with an exercise of the Board Expansion Right), all of such party’s Shares in favor of the election

IPO (as defined in the Company’s organizational documents); (b) the consummation of a Sale of the

the Company; (b) the holders of a majority of the shares of Common Stock held by the Common
Holders; and (c) the holders of a majority of the shares of the Common Stock issued or issuable

waiver if such amendment or waiver either (A) is not directly applicable to the rights of

hereto;
9
(iii) any provision hereof may be waived by the waiving party on such party’s own

6.8 Delays or Omissions. No delay or omission to exercise any right, power or remedy
accruing to any party under this Agreement, upon any breach or default of any other party under
this Agreement, shall impair any such right, power or remedy of such non-breaching or
non-defaulting party nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of any such breach or default, or an
acquiescence therein, or of or in any similar breach or default thereafter occurring; nor shall any
waiver of any single breach or default be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default previously
or thereafter occurring. Any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind or character on the
part of any party of any breach or default under this Agreement, or any waiver on the part of any
party of any provisions or conditions of this Agreement, must be in writing and shall be effective
only to the extent specifically set forth in such writing. All remedies, either under this
Agreement or by law or otherwise afforded to any party, shall be cumulative and not alternative.

no way affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision.
6.10 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including the Exhibits hereto), and the
Company’s organizational documents and the other Transaction Agreements (as defined in the Purchase
Agreement) constitute the full and entire understanding and agreement between the parties with
respect to the subject matter hereof, and any other written or oral agreement relating to the
subject matter hereof existing between the parties is expressly canceled.

INTEREST SHALL BE DEEMED TO AGREE TO AND SHALL BECOME BOUND BY ALL THE PROVISIONS OF

6.11 of this Agreement, and it shall supply, free of charge, a copy of this Agreement to any
holder of a certificate evidencing Shares upon written request from such holder to the Company at
its principal office. The parties to this Agreement do hereby agree that the failure to cause the
certificates evidencing the Shares to bear the legend required by this Section 6.11 herein
and/or the failure of the Company to supply, free of charge, a copy of this Agreement as provided
hereunder shall not affect the validity or enforcement of this Agreement.
6.12 Stock Splits, Stock Dividends, etc. In the event of any issuance of Shares of
the Company’s voting securities hereafter to any of the Stockholders (including, without
limitation, in connection with any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reorganization,
or the like), such Shares shall become subject to this Agreement and shall be endorsed with the

unconditionally submit to the jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located within the
geographical boundaries of the United States District Court for the State of Delaware, Wilmington
County, for the purpose of any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of or based upon this
Agreement, (b) agree not to commence any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of or based
upon this Agreement except in the federal and state courts located within the geographical
boundaries of the United States District Court for the State of Delaware, Wilmington County, and
(c) hereby waive, and agree not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense, or otherwise, in any
such suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of
the above-named courts, that its property is exempt or immune from attachment or execution, that
the suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the suit,
action or proceeding is improper or that this Agreement or the subject matter hereof may not be
enforced in or by such court. Each of the parties to this Agreement consents to personal
jurisdiction for any equitable action sought in the U.S. District Court for the State of Delaware
or any court of the State of Delaware, Wilmington County, having subject matter jurisdiction.
6.16 Aggregation of Stock. All Shares held or acquired by a Stockholder and/or its
Affiliates shall be aggregated together for the purpose of determining the availability
11

purposes, and such action may be taken, and consent, waiver or approval made, by the consent of the
holders of a majority in interest of the then outstanding Series B Preferred Stock (including the
Unredeemed Shares).
6.18 Effectiveness. Sections 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 2.1, 2.2, 3 and 4.2 shall not be

the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and for a period of 61 days thereafter.

2. The due authorization, execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents, and the
documents and instruments referred to therein by and on behalf of all parties thereto.
3. That the Transaction Documents are the legal, valid and binding obligations of all parties

5. The truth and accuracy of all warranties and representations as to factual matters of all
parties under the Transaction Documents and the documents and instruments referred to therein.
II. Opinion
On the basis of the foregoing and subject to the qualifications and limitations set forth
below, we are of the opinion that:
(a) The Company is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing
under the laws of the State of California.
(b) The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and
perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents.
(c) The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of 20,000,000 shares of Common Stock,
no par value, 3,968,368 of which are issued and outstanding of record prior to the Closing, and
5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, no par value, 3,316,667 shares of which have been designated
Series B Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Stock”) and none of which are issued and outstanding of
record prior to the Closing. The Company has reserved 3,316,667 shares of Common Stock for
conversion of the Preferred Stock, and 1,693,613 shares of Common Stock for issuance under the
Company’s 2000 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Option Plan”) as amended, 693,613 of which options are
outstanding, and 1,000,000 options are available to issue. To our knowledge, except as described

(d) All corporate action necessary for the authorization, execution, delivery of the
Transaction Documents by the Company, and the performance of the obligations to be performed by the
Company as of the date hereof under the Transaction Documents has been taken on the part of the
Company’s directors and stockholders.
(e) Each of the Transaction Documents constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the
Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its respective terms. Each
of the Transaction Documents has been duly executed and delivered by the Company.
(f) The Preferred Stock to be issued on the date hereof, when issued against payment therefor
in compliance with the provisions of the Stock Purchase Agreement, will be duly authorized, validly
issued, fully paid and nonassessable. The Common Stock issuable upon conversion of such Shares has
been duly authorized and validly reserved for issuance.
(g) The Company’s execution, delivery and performance of its obligations under the Transaction
Documents will not, as of the Closing, result in (i) a violation of the Company’s Charter or
Bylaws, (ii) a material violation of the California Corporations Code, or any statute, rule or
regulation of United States applicable to the Company, (iii) a violation of any judgment or order
specifically identified in the Disclosure Schedule to the Stock Purchase Agreement, if any, or (iv)

(i) Based in part upon the representations made by you in the Stock Purchase Agreement, the
offer, sale, and issuance of the Shares to be issued in conformity with the terms of the Stock

thereof, constitute transactions exempt from the registration requirements of Section 5 of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
