The failure by a Major Investor to exercise its rights hereunder shall not constitute a waiver of any other rights or of the right to receive notice of and participate in any subsequent Offer.           (d) If any Major Investor fails to exercise its right hereunder to purchase its Equity Percentage of the Offered Securities, the Corporation shall so notify the other Investors in a written notice (the “Excess Securities Notice”).

The Major Investors who or which have agreed to purchase their Equity Percentage of the Offered Securities shall have the right to purchase the portion not purchased by such Investor (the “Excess Securities”), on a pro rata basis, by giving notice within ten (10) days after receipt of the Excess Securities Notice from the Corporation.

Upon the closing of the sale of the Offered Securities to be purchased by the Major Investors, each Major Investor shall (i) purchase from the Corporation that portion of the Offered Securities (including the Excess Securities) for which it tendered a Notice of Acceptance and an Excess Securities Notice, if applicable, upon the terms specified in the Offer, and (ii) execute and deliver an agreement further restricting transfer of such Offered Securities substantially as set forth in Sections 3.1, 3.2 and 3.3 of this Agreement. In addition, with respect to the Offered Securities being purchased by the Major Investors, the Corporation shall provide each such Major Investor with the rights and benefits set forth in this Agreement. The obligation of the Major Investors to purchase such Offered Securities is further conditioned upon the preparation of a purchase agreement embodying the terms of the Offer, which shall be reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to such Major Investor and the Major Investor’s counsel.           (f) The Corporation shall have ninety (90) days from the expiration of the 15-Day Period, or the Excess Securities Period, if applicable, to sell the Offered Securities (including the Excess Securities) refused by the Investors (the “Refused Securities”) to any other person or persons, but only upon terms and conditions which are in all material respects (including, without limitation, price and interest rate) no more favorable to such other person or persons, and no less favorable to the Corporation, than those set forth in the Offer. Upon and subject to the closing of the sale of all of the Refused Securities (which shall include full payment to the Corporation), each Major Investor shall (i) purchase from the Corporation those Offered Securities (including the Excess Securities) for which it tendered a Notice of Acceptance and an Excess Securities Notice, if applicable, upon the terms specified in the Offer, and (ii) execute and deliver an agreement restricting transfer of such Offered Securities (including the Excess Securities) substantially as set forth in Sections 3.1, 3.2 and 3.3 of this Agreement. In addition, with respect to the Offered Securities being purchased by the Major Investors, the Corporation shall provide each such Major Investor with the rights and benefits set forth in this Agreement. The Corporation agrees, as a condition precedent to accepting payment for and making delivery of any Refused Securities to any executive officer, employee, consultant or independent contractor of or to the Corporation, or to any other person, to the extent such purchaser has not already executed this Agreement (or such agreement which amends and restates this Agreement in connection with the offer and sale of the Offered Securities), to have each and every such person execute and deliver a counterpart signature page to this Agreement (or such agreement which amends and restates this Agreement in connection with the offer and sale of the Offered Securities) whereby such purchaser shall become a Holder hereunder. The obligation of the Major Investor to purchase such Offered Securities (including the Excess Securities) is further conditioned upon the preparation of a purchase agreement embodying the terms of the Offer, which shall be reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to such Major Investor and the Major Investor’s counsel.           (g) In each case, any Offered Securities not purchased either by the Major Investors or by any other person in accordance with this Section 2.3 may not be sold or otherwise disposed of until they are again offered to the Major Investors under the procedures specified in Paragraphs (a), (b), (c), (d), (e) and (f) hereof.

13.

          (h) Each Major Investor may, by prior written consent, waive its rights under this Section 2.3. Such a waiver shall be deemed a limited waiver and shall only apply to the extent specifically set forth in the written consent of such Major Investor.           (i) Each Major Investor may assign its rights under this Section 2.3 to any of the persons or entities within its Group.      2.4 Negative Covenants.           (a) Required Approvals of Preferred Stockholders or Board. The Corporation shall not, directly or indirectly, take any of the actions specified in Article III, Section A.5(c) of the Certificate without the prior written consent or vote of the holders of shares representing a majority of the Preferred Stock then outstanding voting together as a single class, each determined in accordance with Section A.5(a) of the Certificate. In addition, the Corporation shall not, directly or indirectly, take any of the actions specified in Article 5, Section A.2 of the Certificate without the written approval of the Board.           (b) Stock and Option Agreements. Without the prior written consent or vote of the holders of shares representing a majority of the Series A Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock and Series D Preferred Stock then outstanding voting together as a single class, each determined in accordance with Section A.5(a) of Article III of the Certificate, the Corporation shall not issue any shares of Common Stock or options, warrants or other rights to acquire Common Stock or other securities of the Corporation to any employee, officer, director, consultant, independent contractor or other person or entity except for (i) Excluded Securities or (ii) pursuant to an Approved Plan.           (c) Registration Rights. The Corporation shall not hereafter grant to any persons any rights to register or qualify stock of the Corporation under federal or state securities laws, unless it shall have first obtained the written consent of (i) the holders of shares representing a majority of the Series D Preferred Stock, if such registration or qualification rights would adversely affect the registration or qualification rights of the holders of Series D Preferred Stock as set forth in this Agreement and (ii) the holders of shares representing a majority of the Series A Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock and Series D Preferred Stock then outstanding voting together as a single class, each determined in accordance with Section A.5(a) of Article III of the Certificate.           (d) Stock Vesting.

14.

such class of equity securities outstanding, as reported in such Exchange Act Registration Statement, in order to enable the Investors to comply with any reporting requirements under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act. Upon the written request of a majority in interest of the holders of Preferred Stock of the Corporation, the Corporation shall, at any time after the Corporation has registered any shares of Common Stock under the Securities Act, file an Exchange Act Registration Statement relating to any class of equity securities of the Corporation then held by the holders of Series A Preferred Shares, Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock or Series D Preferred Stock or issuable upon conversion or exercise of any class of debt or equity securities or warrants or options of the Corporation then held by the Investors, whether or not the class of equity securities with respect to which such request is made shall be held by the number of persons which would require the filing of a registration statement under Section 12(g)(1) of the Exchange Act.           (b) If the Corporation shall have filed an Exchange Act Registration Statement or a registration statement (including an offering circular under Regulation A promulgated under the Securities Act) pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act, which shall have become effective (and in any event, at all times following the initial public offering of any of the securities of the Corporation), then the Corporation shall comply with all of the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act (whether or not it shall be required to do so) and shall comply with all other public information reporting requirements of the Commission as a condition to the availability of an exemption from the Securities Act for the sale of any of the Restricted Securities by any holder of Restricted Securities (including any such exemption pursuant to Rule 144 or Rule 144A thereof, as amended from time to time, or any successor rule thereto or otherwise). The Corporation shall cooperate with each holder of Restricted Securities in supplying such information as may be necessary for such holder of Restricted Securities to complete and file any information reporting forms presently or hereafter required by the Commission as a condition to the availability of an exemption from the Securities Act (under Rule 144 or Rule 144A thereunder or otherwise) for the sale of any of the Restricted Securities by any holder of Restricted Securities.      2.6 Access to Records. So long as a holder of Preferred Stock continues to hold at least ten percent (10%) of the shares of Preferred Stock that such holder originally acquired or Common Stock issued upon conversion of Preferred Stock, and this amount is greater than 500,000 shares ( as adjusted) (a “Major Investor” or, collectively, the “Major Investors”), the Corporation shall afford to each Major Investor and such Investor’s employees, counsel and other authorized representatives, free and full access, at all reasonable times and for reasonable periods of time, to all of the books, records and properties of the Corporation and to all officers and employees of the Corporation. All shares of capital stock held or acquired by affiliated entities or persons or persons or entities under common management or control shall be aggregated together for the purpose of determining the availability of any rights under this Agreement.      2.7 Financial Reports. Until such time that the Corporation has a class of its equity securities registered under the Exchange Act and is required to file reports thereunder pursuant to Sections 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, except with respect to the obligation set forth in Section 2.7(e)(i) hereunder which shall survive such time, the Corporation shall furnish each of the Major Investors with the financial information described below:

ARTICLE 3 TRANSFER AND REGISTRATION OF RESTRICTED SECURITIES      3.1 Restriction on Transfer. The Restricted Securities shall not be transferable, except upon the conditions specified in this Article 3, which conditions are intended solely to ensure compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act in respect of the Transfer thereof.      3.2 Restrictive Legend. Each certificate evidencing any Restricted Securities and each certificate evidencing any such securities issued to subsequent transferees of any Restricted Securities shall (unless otherwise permitted by the provisions of Section 3.3 or 3.11 hereof) be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form:      THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAW. THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED, SOLD OR TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 OR ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAW OR AN EXEMPTION THEREFROM UNDER SUCH ACT OR LAW. ADDITIONALLY, THE TRANSFER OF THESE SECURITIES IS SUBJECT TO THE CONDITIONS SPECIFIED IN THE STOCKHOLDERS’ AGREEMENT, AS THE SAME MAY BE AMENDED OR RESTATED FROM TIME TO TIME, AMONG REPLIDYNE, INC. AND CERTAIN OTHER SIGNATORIES THERETO, AND NO TRANSFER OF SUCH SECURITIES SHALL BE VALID OR EFFECTIVE UNTIL SUCH CONDITIONS HAVE BEEN FULFILLED. COPIES OF SUCH AGREEMENT MAY BE OBTAINED AT NO COST BY WRITTEN REQUEST MADE BY THE HOLDER OF RECORD OF THIS CERTIFICATE TO THE SECRETARY OF REPLIDYNE, INC.      3.3 Notice of Transfer. By acceptance of any Restricted Securities, the holder thereof agrees to give prior written notice to the Corporation of such holder’s intention to effect any Transfer and to comply in all other respects with the provisions of this Section 3.3. Each such notice shall describe the manner and circumstances of the proposed Transfer and shall be accompanied by: (a) the written opinion of counsel for the holder of such Restricted Securities, or, at such holder’s option, a representation letter of such holder, addressed to the Corporation (which opinion and counsel, or representation letter, as the case may be, shall be reasonably acceptable to the Corporation), as to whether, in the case of a written opinion, in the opinion of such counsel, such proposed Transfer involves a transaction requiring registration of such Restricted Securities under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or an exemption thereunder is available, or, in the case of a representation letter, such letter sets forth a factual basis for concluding that such proposed transfer involves a transaction requiring registration of such Restricted Securities under the Securities Act and applicable State securities laws or that an exemption thereunder is available, or (b) if such registration is required and if the provisions of Section 3.4 hereof are applicable, a written request addressed to the Corporation by

19.

the holder of such Restricted Securities, describing in detail the proposed method of disposition and requesting the Corporation to effect the registration of such Restricted Shares pursuant to the terms and provisions of Section 3.4 hereof; provided, however, that (y) in the case of a Transfer by a holder to a member of such holder’s Group, no such opinion of counsel or representation letter of the holder shall be necessary, provided that the transferee agrees in writing to be subject to Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.3 and 3.11 hereof to the same extent as if such transferee were originally a signatory to this Agreement, and (z) in the case of any holder of Restricted Securities that is a partnership, no such opinion of counsel or representation letter of the holder shall be necessary for a Transfer by such holder to a partner of such holder, or a retired partner of such holder who retires after the date hereof, or the estate of any such partner or retired partner if, with respect to such Transfer by a partnership, (i) such Transfer is made in accordance with the partnership agreement of such partnership, and (ii) the transferee agrees in writing to be subject to Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.3 and 3.11 hereof to the same extent as if such transferee were originally a signatory to this Agreement. If in such opinion of counsel or as reasonably concluded from the facts set forth in the representation letter of the holder (which opinion and counsel, or representation letter, as the case may be, shall be reasonably acceptable to the Corporation), the proposed Transfer may be effected without registration under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws or “blue sky” laws, then the holder of Restricted Securities shall thereupon be entitled to effect such Transfer in accordance with the terms of the notice delivered by it to the Corporation. Each certificate or other instrument evidencing the securities issued upon such Transfer (and each certificate or other instrument evidencing any such securities not Transferred) shall bear the legend set forth in Section 3.2 hereof unless: (a) in such opinion of such counsel or as can be concluded from the representation letter of such holder (which opinion and counsel or representation letter shall be reasonably acceptable to the Corporation) the registration of future Transfers is not required by the applicable provisions of the Securities Act and state securities laws, or (b) the Corporation shall have waived the requirement of such legend; provided, however, that such legend shall not be required on any certificate or other instrument evidencing the securities issued upon such Transfer in the event such Transfer shall be made in compliance with the requirements of Rule 144 (as amended from time to time or any similar or successor rule) promulgated under the Securities Act. The holder of Restricted Securities shall not effect any Transfer until such opinion of counsel or representation letter of such holder has been given to and accepted by the Corporation (unless waived by the Corporation) or until registration of the Restricted Shares involved in the above-mentioned request has become effective under the Securities Act. In the event that an opinion of counsel is required by the registrar or transfer agent of the Corporation to effect a transfer of Restricted Securities in the future, the Corporation shall seek and obtain such opinion from its counsel, and the holder of such Restricted Securities shall provide such reasonable assistance as is requested by the Corporation (other than the furnishing of an opinion of counsel) to satisfy the requirements of the registrar or transfer agent to effectuate such transfer.      3.4 Required Registration.           (a) At any time following the date that is the earlier of (i) August 17, 2007 and (ii) twelve months following the closing of a Qualified Public Offering (as defined under the Certificate), if the Corporation shall be requested (i) by holders of at least 50% of the outstanding Restricted Securities (based on the underlying Common Stock for which the Restricted Securities are convertible or exercisable) to effect the registration under the Securities Act of Restricted

20.

Shares, or (ii) after the first registration pursuant to this Section 3.4, by one or more of the holders of Restricted Securities, to effect the registration under the Securities Act of Restricted Shares, then the Corporation shall promptly give written notice of such proposed registration to all holders of Restricted Securities, and thereupon the Corporation shall promptly use its best efforts to effect the registration under the Securities Act of the Restricted Shares that the Corporation has been requested to register for disposition as described in the request of such holders of Restricted Securities and in any response received from any of the holders of Restricted Securities within 30 days after the giving of the written notice by the Corporation; provided, however, that the Corporation shall not be obligated to effect any registration under the Securities Act except in accordance with the following provisions:                (i) The Corporation shall not be obligated to file and cause to become effective more than two (2) registration statements in which Restricted Shares are registered under the Securities Act pursuant to this Section 3.4(a), if all of the Restricted Shares offered pursuant to such registration statements are sold thereunder upon the price and terms offered.                (ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Corporation may include in each such registration requested pursuant to this Section 3.4(a) any authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock (or authorized treasury shares) for sale by the Corporation or any issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock for sale by others; provided, however, that, if the number of shares of Common Stock so included pursuant to this clause (b) exceeds the number of Restricted Shares requested by the holders of Restricted Shares requesting such registration, then such registration shall be deemed to be a registration in accordance with and pursuant to Section 3.5; and provided further, however, that the inclusion of such previously authorized but unissued shares by the Corporation or issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock by others in such registration does not adversely affect, in the sole opinion of the holders of Restricted Securities requesting such registration, the ability of the holders of Restricted Securities requesting such registration to market the entire number of Restricted Shares requested by them.           (b) At any time following the date that is the earlier of (i) August 17, 2007 and (ii) twelve months following the closing of a Qualified Public Offering (as defined under the Certificate), if the Corporation shall be requested by holders of at least 50% of the shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon conversion of the Series D Preferred Stock (“Series D Restricted Shares”) to effect the registration under the Securities Act of Restricted Shares, then the Corporation shall promptly give written notice of such proposed registration to all holders of Restricted Securities, and thereupon the Corporation shall promptly use its best efforts to effect the registration under the Securities Act of the Restricted Shares that the Corporation has been requested to register for disposition as described in the request of such holders of Restricted Securities (a “Series D Demand Registration”); provided, however, that the Corporation shall not be obligated to effect any registration under the Securities Act except in accordance with the following provisions:                (i) The Corporation shall not be obligated to file and cause to become effective more than two (2) registration statements pursuant to this Section 3.4(b), if all of the Series D Restricted Shares offered pursuant to such registration statements are sold thereunder upon the price and terms offered.

21.

               (ii) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 3.4 or Section 3.6, if the underwriter advises the Corporation that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of securities to be underwritten (including Restricted Securities) then the Corporation shall so advise all holders of Restricted Securities that would otherwise be underwritten pursuant hereto, and the number of shares that may be included in the underwriting shall be allocated first to holders of the Series D Preferred Stock, then to the other holders of such Restricted Securities on a pro rata basis based on the number of Restricted Securities held by all such Holders, and thereafter to any other stockholders of the Corporation.      3.5 Piggyback Registration.           (a) Each time that the Corporation proposes for any reason to register any of its securities under the Securities Act, other than pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-4 or Form S-8 or similar or successor forms (collectively, “Excluded Forms”), the Corporation shall promptly give written notice of such proposed registration to all holders of Restricted Securities, which shall offer such holders the right to request inclusion of any Restricted Shares in the proposed registration.           (b) Each holder of Restricted Securities shall have 30 days from the receipt of such notice to deliver to the Corporation a written request specifying the number of Restricted Shares such holder intends to sell and the holder’s intended method of disposition.           (c) In the event that the proposed registration by the Corporation is, in whole or in part, an underwritten public offering of securities of the Corporation, any request under Section 3.5(b) may specify that the Restricted Shares be included in the underwriting (i) on the same terms and conditions as the shares of Common Stock, if any, otherwise being sold through underwriters under such registration, or (ii) on terms and conditions comparable to those normally applicable to offerings of common stock in reasonably similar circumstances in the event that no shares of Common Stock other than Restricted Shares are being sold through underwriters under such registration.           (d) Upon receipt of a written request pursuant to Section 3.5(b), the Corporation shall promptly use its best efforts to cause all such Restricted Shares to be registered under the Securities Act, to the extent required to permit sale or disposition as set forth in the written request.           (e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the managing underwriter of any such proposed registration determines and advises in writing that the inclusion of all Restricted Shares proposed to be included in the underwritten public offering, together with any other issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock proposed to be included therein by holders other than the holders of Restricted Securities (such other shares hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Other Shares”), would interfere with the successful marketing of the Corporation’s securities, then the total number of such securities proposed to be included in such underwritten public offering shall be reduced, (i) first by the shares requested to be included in such registration by the holders of Other Shares, and (ii) second, if necessary, (A) one-half (1/2) by the securities proposed to be issued by the Corporation, and (B) one-half (1/2) by the Restricted Securities proposed to be included in such registration by the holders thereof, on a pro rata basis, based

22.

upon the number of Restricted Shares sought to be registered by each such holder. In the case of an initial public offering, the Corporation may limit, to the extent so advised by the representative of the underwriters, the amount of securities (including Restricted Securities) to be included in the registration by the Corporation’s stockholders (including the Holders), or may exclude, to the extent so advised by the representative of the underwriters, such underwritten securities entirely from such registration (provided that in such event no other holder of registration rights is entitled to registration of securities in such offering in preference to the Holders). If such registration is the second or any subsequent Corporation-initiated registered offering of the Corporation’s securities to the general public, the Corporation may limit, to the extent so advised by the underwriters, the amount of securities to be included in the registration by the Corporation’s Stockholders (including the Holders); provided, however, that the aggregate value of the Restricted Securities to be included in such registration by the Corporation’s Stockholders (including the Holders) may not be so reduced to less than thirty percent (30%) of the total value of all securities included in such registration (provided that in such event no other holder of registration rights is entitled to registration of securities in such offering in preference to the Holders). The shares of Common Stock that are excluded from the underwritten public offering pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be withheld from the market by the holders thereof for a period, not to exceed 180 days from the closing of such underwritten public offering, that the managing underwriter reasonably determines as necessary in order to effect such underwritten public offering; provided that all officers and directors of the Corporation and holders of at least one percent (1%) of the Corporation’s voting securities enter into similar agreements.      3.6 Registrations on Form S-2 and S-3. At such time as the Corporation shall have qualified for the use of Form S-2 or Form S-3 (or any successor form promulgated under the Securities Act), each holder of Restricted Securities shall have the right to request in writing three (3) registrations (but not more than two (2) annually) on Form S-2 or Form S-3. Each such request by a holder shall: (a) specify the number of Restricted Shares which the holder intends to sell or dispose of, (b) state the intended method by which the holder intends to sell or dispose of such Restricted Shares, and (c) request registration of Restricted Shares having a proposed aggregate offering price of at least $1,000,000. Upon receipt of a request pursuant to this Section 3.6, the Corporation shall use its best efforts to effect such registration or registrations on Form S-2 or Form S-3.      3.7 Preparation and Filing.

          (b) prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such registration statement effective until the earlier of (i) the sale of all Restricted Shares covered thereby or (ii) nine months, and to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the sale or other disposition of all Restricted Shares covered by such registration statement;           (c) furnish to each holder whose Restricted Shares are being registered pursuant to this Article 3 such number of copies of any summary prospectus or other prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents as such holder may reasonably request in order to facilitate the public sale or other disposition of such Restricted Shares;           (d) use its best efforts to register or qualify the Restricted Shares covered by such registration statement under the securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as each holder whose Restricted Shares are being registered pursuant to this Article 3 shall reasonably request and do any and all other acts or things which may be necessary or advisable to enable such holder to consummate the public sale or other disposition in such jurisdictions of such Restricted Shares; provided, however, that the Corporation shall not be required to consent to general service of process for all purposes in any jurisdiction where it is not then subject to process, qualify to do business as a foreign corporation where it would not be otherwise required to qualify or submit to liability for state or local taxes where it is not otherwise liable for such taxes;           (e) at any time when a prospectus covered by such registration statement and relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act within the appropriate period mentioned in Section 3.7(b) hereof, notify each holder whose Restricted Shares are being registered pursuant to this Article 3 of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing and, at the request of such holder, prepare, file and furnish to such holder a reasonable number of copies of a supplement to or an amendment of such prospectus as may be necessary so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such shares, such prospectus shall not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing;           (f) if the Corporation has delivered preliminary or final prospectuses to the holders of Restricted Shares that are being registered pursuant to this Article 3 and after having done so the prospectus is amended to comply with the requirements of the Securities Act, the Corporation shall promptly notify such holders and, if requested, such holders shall immediately cease making offers of Restricted Shares and return all prospectuses to the Corporation. The Corporation shall promptly provide such holders with revised prospectuses and, following receipt of the revised prospectuses, such holders shall be free to resume making offers of the Restricted Shares; and

24.

          (g) furnish, at the request of any holder whose Restricted Shares are being registered pursuant to this Article 3, on the date that such Restricted Shares are delivered to the underwriters for sale in connection with a registration pursuant to this Article 3, if such securities are being sold through underwriters, or, on the date that the registration statement with respect to such securities becomes effective, if such securities are not being sold through underwriters, (i) an opinion, dated such date, of the counsel representing the Corporation for the purposes of such registration, in form and substance as is customarily given to underwriters in an underwritten public offering, addressed to the underwriters, if any, and to the holder or holders making such request, and (ii) a letter dated such date, from the independent certified public accountants of the Corporation, in form and substance as is customarily given by independent certified public accountants to underwriters in an underwritten public offering, addressed to the underwriters, if any, and to the holder or holders making such request.      3.8 Expenses.

The Corporation shall reimburse on demand such seller, underwriter, broker or other person acting on behalf of such seller and each

25.

such controlling person for any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred by any of them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the Corporation shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in said registration statement, preliminary or final prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto or any document incident to registration or qualification of any Restricted Shares pursuant to Section 3.7(d) hereof, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Corporation by such seller, underwriter, broker, other person or controlling person specifically for use in the preparation thereof.           (b) Before Restricted Shares held by any prospective seller shall be included in any registration pursuant to this Article 3, such prospective seller and any underwriter acting on its behalf shall have agreed to indemnify and hold harmless (in the same manner and to the same extent as set forth in paragraph (a)) the Corporation, each director of the Corporation, each officer of the Corporation who signs such registration statement and any person who controls the Corporation within the meaning of the Securities Act, with respect to any untrue statement or omission from such registration statement, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereto, if such untrue statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Corporation through an instrument duly executed by such seller or such underwriter specifically for use in the preparation of such registration statement, preliminary prospectus, final prospectus or amendment or supplement; provided, however, that the maximum amount of liability in respect of such indemnification shall be limited, in the case of each prospective seller, to an amount equal to the net proceeds actually received by such prospective seller from the sale of Restricted Shares effected pursuant to such registration.           (c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party of notice of the commencement of any action involving a claim referred to in Section 3.9(a) or (b) hereof, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 3.9, give written notice to the latter of the commencement of such action. In case any such action is brought against an indemnified party, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in and to assume the defense thereof, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified to the extent that it may wish, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party, and, after notice to such indemnified party from the indemnifying party of its election to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall be responsible for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the latter in connection with the defense thereof; provided, however, that, if any indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be one or more legal defenses available to such indemnified party which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, or that such claim or litigation involves or could have an effect upon matters beyond the scope of the indemnity agreement provided in this Section 3.9, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party, and such indemnifying party shall reimburse such indemnified party and any person controlling such indemnified party for the fees and expenses of counsel retained by the indemnified party which are reasonably related to the matters covered by the indemnity agreement provided in this Section 3.9. The indemnifying party shall not make any settlement of any claims indemnified against hereunder without the written consent of the indemnified party or parties, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

26.

          (d) In order to provide for just and equitable contribution to joint liability under the Securities Act in any case in which either (i) any holder of Restricted Shares exercising rights under this Agreement, or any controlling person of any such holder, makes a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Section 3.9, 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 3.9 provides for indemnification in such case, or (ii) contribution under the Securities Act may be required on the part of any such holder or any such controlling person in circumstances for which indemnification is provided under this Section 3.9; then, in each such case, the Corporation and such holder will contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which they may be subject as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Corporation and such holder in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, it being understood that the parties acknowledge that the overriding equitable consideration to be given effect in connection with this provision is the ability of one party or the other to correct the statement or omission which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, and that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant hereto were to be determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take into consideration the foregoing equitable considerations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) no such holder will be required to contribute any amount in excess of the proceeds to it of all Restricted Shares sold by it pursuant to such registration statement, and (ii) no person or entity guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation, within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act, shall be entitled to contribution from any person or entity who is not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.           (e) Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, if, in connection with an underwritten public offering of any Restricted Shares, the Corporation, the holders of such Restricted Shares and the underwriters enter into an underwriting or purchase agreement relating to such offering which contains provisions covering indemnification among the parties, then the indemnification provision of this Section 3.9 shall be deemed inoperative for purposes of such offering.      3.10 Assignment of Registration Rights. The rights to cause the Corporation to register Restricted Securities pursuant to this Section 3 may be assigned by an Investor to a transferee or assignee of Restricted Securities (for so long as such shares remain Restricted Securities) that is a member of such transferring Investor’s Group; provided, however, that (i) the transferor shall, within ten (10) days after such transfer, furnish to the Corporation written notice of the name and address of such transferee or assignee and the securities with respect to which such registration rights are being assigned and (ii) such transferee shall agree to be subject to all restrictions set forth in this Agreement.      3.11 Removal of Legends, Etc. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article 3, the restrictions imposed by this Article 3 upon the transferability of any Restricted Securities shall cease and terminate when (a) any such Restricted Securities are sold or otherwise disposed of in accordance with the intended method of disposition by the seller or sellers thereof

27.

set forth in a registration statement or such other method contemplated by Section 3.3 hereof that does not require that the securities transferred bear the legend set forth in Section 3.2 hereof, including a Transfer pursuant to Rule 144 or a successor rule thereof (as amended from time to time), or (b) the holder of Restricted Securities has met the requirements for transfer of such Restricted Securities pursuant to subparagraph (k) of Rule 144 or a successor rule thereof (as amended from time to time) promulgated by the Commission under the Securities Act. Whenever the restrictions imposed by this Article 3 have terminated, a holder of a certificate for Restricted Securities as to which such restrictions have terminated shall be entitled, upon request by such holder, to receive from the Corporation, without expense, a new certificate not bearing the restrictive legend set forth in Section 3.2 hereof and not containing any other reference to the restrictions imposed by this Article 3.      3.12 Standoff Provisions. No holder will sell any securities within 180 days (or the shortest period of time agreed to; provided that the Corporation uses its best efforts to obtain a similar standoff agreement from each officer, director and/or 1% holder) following the effective date of the Company’s initial public offering.      3.13 Termination of Rights. The registration rights shall terminate as to any holder upon the earlier of (i) the date on which such holder holds less than 1% of the outstanding capital stock and all shares held by such holder can be resold pursuant to Rule 144 or (ii) five (5) years following the closing of the Corporation’s initial public offering. ARTICLE 4 SECURITIES ACT REGISTRATION STATEMENTS      Except for securities of the Corporation registered on Excluded Forms, the Corporation shall not file any registration statement under the Securities Act covering any securities unless it shall first have given each holder of Restricted Securities written notice thereof. The Corporation further covenants that each holder of Restricted Securities shall have the right, at any time when it may be deemed to be a controlling person of the Corporation, within the meaning of the Securities Act, to participate in the preparation of such registration statement and to request the insertion therein of material furnished to the Corporation in writing which in such holder’s judgment should be included. In connection with any registration statement referred to in this Article 4, the Corporation shall indemnify, to the extent permitted by law, each holder of Restricted Securities, its officers, partners and directors and each person, if any, who controls any such holder within the meaning of the Securities Act in the same manner and to the same extent as the Corporation is required to indemnify a seller of Restricted Securities in Section 3.9 hereof. If, in connection with any such registration statement, any holder of Restricted Securities shall furnish written information to the Corporation expressly for use in the registration statement, then such holder shall indemnify the Corporation, each director of the Corporation, each officer of the Corporation who signs such registration statement and each person, if any, who controls the Corporation within the meaning of the Securities Act to the same extent as a seller of Restricted Securities is required to indemnify such persons in Section 3.9 hereof.

33.

ARTICLE 8 REMEDIES      In case any one or more of the covenants and/or agreements set forth in this Agreement shall have been breached by any party hereto, the party or parties entitled to the benefit of such covenants or agreements may proceed to protect and enforce its or their rights, either by suit in equity and/or action at law, including, but not limited to, an action for damages as a result of any such breach and/or an action for specific performance of any such covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement. Notwithstanding the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Corporation breaches any of its covenants and/or agreements set forth herein, the Investors shall have the additional remedy, in their sole discretion, provided that such breach has not been cured by the later to occur of 15 days after receipt of notice of such breach by the Corporation or 30 days after the occurrence of such breach, of electing to immediately exercise their right of redemption set forth in Article III, Section A.4 of the Certificate, as provided therein, irrespective of whether such right of redemption otherwise is mature. The rights, powers and remedies of the parties under this Agreement are cumulative and not exclusive of any other right, power or remedy which such parties may have under any other agreement or law. No single or partial assertion or exercise of any right, power or remedy of a party hereunder shall preclude any other or further assertion or exercise thereof. ARTICLE 9 SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS      Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the Corporation and each of the Investors and the respective successors and permitted assigns of the Corporation and each of the Investors.

Any transferee (other than an Investor) to whom rights under Article 3 are transferred shall, as a condition to such transfer, deliver to the Corporation a written instrument by which such transferee identifies itself, gives the Corporation notice of the transfer of such rights, identifies the securities of the Corporation owned or acquired by it and agrees to be bound by the obligations imposed hereunder to the same extent as if such transferee were an Investor hereunder. A transferee to whom rights are transferred pursuant to this Article 9 will be thereafter deemed to be an Investor for the purpose of the execution of such transferred rights and may not again transfer such rights to any other person or entity, other than as provided in this Article 9. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights or duties of the Corporation set forth herein shall be assigned by the Corporation, in whole or in part, without having first received the approval of a majority of the Series A Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock and Series D Preferred Stock then outstanding voting together as a single class.
