5. ISSUE OF NEW SECURITIES

5.1 Right of First Offer

Subject to the terms and conditions specified in this Section 5, and applicable securities laws, in the event the Company proposes to offer or sell any New Securities prior to the earlier of (i) five years from the First Closing Date if at that time the Convertible Notes have not been converted in full and (ii) the date of completion of a Triggering Sale (and absent the occurrence of the events in clauses (i) or (ii) above of this Section 5.1, the obligations of the Company and the rights of the Investor and the Investor’s Affiliates set forth in this Section 5 shall continue indefinitely), the Company shall first make an offering of such New Securities to the Investor in accordance with the following provisions of this Section 5.

(b) By written notification received by the Company, within ten (10) calendar days after mailing of the Offer Notice, the Investor may elect to purchase or obtain, at the price and on the terms specified in the Offer Notice (or, in the case of a proposed public offering, at the public offering price), up to that portion of such New Securities which equals (1) the number of shares of Common Stock deemed issued and held by the Investor, which shall include all securities issuable to the Investor upon conversion of the Convertible Notes, exercise of the Warrant for the number of Warrant Shares for which the Warrant is then-exercisable, or otherwise exercisable or exchangeable for, shares of Common Stock) divided by (2) the total number of shares of Common Stock of the Company then outstanding (assuming full conversion and exercise of the Convertible Notes, the Warrant for the number of Warrant Shares for which the Warrant is then-exercisable and any other vested and in-the-money convertible or exercisable securities), multiplied by (3) the number of New Securities being issued; provided that in the case of a proposed public offering such written notice of the Investor (i) may specify an alternative price range to that of the Public Offer Price Range at which the Investor elects to purchase or obtain such portion of such New Securities so long as such alternative price range falls within the Public Offer Price Range, (ii) may specify varying amounts of such portion of such New Securities that the Investor elects to purchase at various prices that fall within the Public Offer Price Range or such alternative price range and (iii) shall constitute a non-binding indication of

If the Company does not enter into an agreement for the sale of the Publicly Available 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 Publicly Available Securities shall not be offered unless first reoffered to the Investor in accordance with this Section 5.

Page 21

collaboration, manufacturing, development, marketing or distribution arrangements, if (A) the consideration to be paid therefor shall not consist solely of cash and (B) the Company and the Investor shall not, after a period of good faith negotiation, reasonably agree on the price to be paid by the Investor for such New Securities in the exercise of the Investor’s right of first offer hereunder; provided that any issuances pursuant to this subclause (iii) shall be without prejudice to any obligation of the Company to obtain the Investor’s consent for such issuances in accordance with Section 3(v) hereof; and (iv) any New Securities issued in connection with any stock split, stock dividend or recapitalization by the Company.

(e) The right of first offer set forth in this Section 5 may not be assigned or transferred except that such right is assignable by the Investor to any Affiliate of the Investor.

Section 2. Demand Registration Rights.

(a) The Company hereby covenants and agrees that if the Company shall receive, at any time after the one year anniversary of this Agreement, a written request from a Holder or Holders (the Initiating Holders) that the Company file a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the registration of all or any portion of Registrable Securities then held by the Initiating Holders (a Registration Statement) and the anticipated gross aggregate offering price (based on the Company’s then-current share price) is reasonably expected to exceed $10 million (or if less constitutes all of the remaining Registrable Securities), then the Company shall as soon as reasonably practicable, and in any event within 60 calendar days of the receipt of such request (the Filing Deadline), file a Registration Statement under the Securities Act covering all Registrable Securities which the Initiating Holders have requested to be registered and cause such Registration Statement to be declared effective by the SEC as soon as reasonably practicable, but in no event later than 90 calendar days of the receipt of such request (the Effectiveness Deadline); provided that in the event that the Company is informed by the SEC that the SEC will review such Registration Statement, the Effectiveness Deadline shall be extended by 60 calendar days from the date otherwise calculable hereunder). At the request of the Initiating Holders, such Registration Statement may be for an offering to be made on a delayed or continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act (a Shelf Registration Statement).

Notwithstanding this Section 2(a), the Company shall not be obligated to effect any registration pursuant to this Section 2(a): (i) in any particular jurisdiction in which the Company would be required to execute a general consent to service of process in effecting such registration, unless the Company is already subject to service in such jurisdiction and except as may be required under the Securities Act, (ii) if the request for registration occurs during the Non-Registration Period, (iii) during the period starting with the filing of, and ending on the date 180 calendar days following the date any registration requested hereunder was initially declared or automatically became effective, (iv) following the Non-Registration Period, during the period starting with the filing of, and ending on the date 180 calendar days following the final date upon which a Shelf Registration Statement was effective, or (v) during the 90 calendar day period following the closing date of a public offering by the Company. Without the consent of the Initiating Holders, the Company shall not include securities other than Registrable Securities to be sold by the Initiating Holders in any registration effected pursuant to this Section 2(a).

(b) The Company shall keep any Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2(a) continuously effective, supplemented and amended to the extent necessary to ensure that it is available for sales of Registrable Securities requested to be registered by the Initiating Holders, and to ensure that it conforms with the requirements of this Agreement, the Securities Act and the policies, rules and regulations of the SEC as in effect from time to time, (i) if such Registration Statement is not a Shelf Registration Statement, for a period of up to 90 days or, if earlier, until the date on which all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement have been sold pursuant thereto, and (ii) if such Registration Statement is a Shelf Registration Statement, until the date on which all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement have been sold pursuant thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to keep any Registration Statement effective during (x) the Non-Registration Period or (y) following the Non-Registration Period, for a period exceeding six months.

Page 5

(c) As a condition to the filing of any Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Section 2, the Investors agree that so long as they collectively have beneficial ownership of ten percent or more of the outstanding Company Common Stock, the Investors will not sell shares registered pursuant to this Agreement other than through Organized Sales; provided, however, that the Investors may sell such shares through Non-Organized Sales for so long as the total number of shares sold by the Investors in all Non-Organized Sales does not exceed an aggregate of fifteen percent (15%) of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock (as measured at the time of the most recent sale) (the Non-Organized Sale Limit). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that (i) the placement agent or underwriter of an Organized Sale requests reasonable lock-up agreements from stockholders of the Company other than the Investors in a manner consistent with industry practice, (ii) such other stockholders do not agree to the lock-up requested in a manner consistent with industry practice, and (iii) such Organized Sale is aborted by the Investors or the requesting underwriter or placement agent in connection with clause (ii), then the Non-Organized Sale Limit shall be increased by the number of Registrable Securities proposed to be included in such Organized Sale.

(d) The Initiating Holders shall have the right (in their sole discretion) to terminate or withdraw any registration (a Withdrawn Registration) under this Section 2 prior to the effectiveness of such registration whether or not the Company or any other Person has included securities therein, in which case the Company will no longer be required to proceed with such registration; such withdrawn registration shall not count as a registration for purposes of this Section 2 and the Initiating Holders, not the Company, shall bear any and all expenses of any registration begun under this Section 2 (including expenses of the Company) the request of which has been withdrawn by the Initiating Holders, unless (i) there is a material adverse effect on the business, assets, condition (financial or otherwise) or results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, after the filing date of the most recent annual report or, if later, the most recent quarterly report, of the Company filed with the SEC on a Form 10-K or Form 10-Q, as the case may be, filed prior to the making of the relevant request for registration under Section 2(a) and prior to the making of the relevant request for registration under Section 2(a) (the Most Recent SEC Report) or (ii) the Most Recent SEC Report 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, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. If the Initiating Holders are required to bear such expenses, such expenses shall be borne by the Initiating Holders in proportion to the number of Registrable Securities for which registration was requested.

Section 3.

(a) Piggyback Rights. If at any time after the one year anniversary of this Agreement the Company proposes to register (whether in a primary offering pursuant to which the Company is selling securities or in a registration effected by the Company for its stockholders other than the Holders) any of its stock or other securities under the Securities Act in connection with the public offering of such securities (other than an Unrelated Registration Statement), and at such time there is not an effective Registration Statement covering all of the Registrable Securities then held by the Holders, the Company shall, at such time, promptly give the Holders written notice of such registration. Upon the written request of the Holders given within twenty (20) calendar days after mailing of such notice by the Company, the Company shall cause to be registered under the Securities Act all of the Registrable Securities that the Holders have requested to be registered; provided that if the total number of securities, including Registrable Securities requested to be

Page 6

included by the Holders in such offering, exceeds the amount of securities to be sold that the underwriters determine in their reasonable discretion is compatible with the success of the offering, then the Company shall be required to include in the offering only that amount of securities, including Registrable Securities, which the underwriters determine will not jeopardize the success of the offering; provided that the number of Registrable Securities, XXX Registrable Securities and VLL Registrable Securities to be included in such offering shall in no event be less than twenty-five percent of the total offering. The Holders, the holders of XXX Registrable Securities and the holders of VLL Registrable Securities shall share such portion of the Company’s offering allocated to selling stockholders on a pro rata basis based upon their relative ownership of the Company’s outstanding stock carrying piggyback registration rights.

(b) If the Company intends to distribute the shares registered pursuant to this Section 3 by means of an underwriting, a Holder’s right to include its Registrable Securities in such registration shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in such underwriting and such Holder entering into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting, it being agreed and understood that no such underwriting agreement shall require a Holder to (i) provide representations and warranties other than in respect of the Holder’s organizational matters and its authority to enter into such underwriting agreements (and related agreements such as a custody agreement and a power of attorney), title to the shares of Company Common Stock to be sold by such Holder and information provided by such Holder for use in the Registration Statement or (ii) provide indemnification or contribution to any Person other than on the terms set forth in Section 5 below.

(c) Notwithstanding Section 9(a), for so long as the total number of XXX Registrable Securities exceeds ten percent of the outstanding Company Common Stock, the provisions of Section 3(a) may be amended or waived (either generally or in a particular instance, either retroactively or prospectively and either for a specified period of time or indefinitely), with and only with the written consent of (i) the Company, (ii) the Holders of a majority-in-interest of the Registrable Securities then held by the Holders if at the time of such amendment or waiver, the total number of Registrable Securities exceeds ten percent of the outstanding Company Common Stock, and (iii) the holders of a majority-in-interest of the then-outstanding XXX Registrable Securities (not including the “Founder Shares” as such term is defined in the XXX); provided, however, that if at the time of such amendment or waiver the total number of Registrable Securities is less than ten percent of the outstanding Company Common Stock and the written consent of the Holders of a majority-in-interest of the Registrable Securities then held by the Holders is not required to give effect to such amendment or waiver by operation of subclause (ii) of this Section 3(c), and such waiver or amendment materially and adversely affects the rights of the Holders of Registrable Securities and does not materially and adversely affect the rights of the holders of XXX Registrable Securities in the same manner, then such waiver or amendment shall require the consent of the Holders of a majority-in-interest of the Registrable Securities then held by the Holders.

Section 4. Obligations of the Company; Expenses; Procedures Relating to Registration.

(a) Whenever required under this Agreement to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities, the Company shall:

(vii) Enter into all such arrangements with the transfer agent and registrar of the Company Common Stock as may be required in connection with the offer and sale of the Registrable Securities so registered and ensure that the CUSIP number for such Registrable Securities is the same as the CUSIP number for the Company Common Stock;

Page 8

Stock), whether for its own account or for the account of any other Person (other than an Unrelated Registration Statement) to become effective within 90 calendar days following the completion of any Organized Sale (or such shorter period as required by the managing underwriter or placement agent);

(x) Provide the Holders, any participating underwriter and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by the Holders or such underwriter, reasonable access, during normal business hours and upon prior notification, to appropriate officers of the Company and the Company’s subsidiaries to ask questions and to obtain information reasonably requested by any such Person and make available for inspection all financial and other records and other information, pertinent corporate documents and properties of any of the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates as may be reasonably necessary to enable them to undertake customary due diligence; provided, however, that such Persons shall, at the Company’s request, first agree in writing with the Company that any information that is reasonably and in good faith designated by the Company as confidential at the time of delivery of such information shall be kept confidential by such Persons and shall be used solely for the purposes of exercising rights under this Agreement, unless (A) disclosure of such information is required by court or administrative order or is necessary to respond to inquiries of governmental or regulatory authorities, (B) disclosure of such information is required by law (including any disclosure requirements pursuant to federal securities laws in connection with the filing of any Registration Statement or the use of any prospectus referred to in this Agreement) or necessary to defend or prosecute a claim brought against or by any such Persons (e.g., to establish a “due diligence” defense), (C) such information becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure or failure to safeguard by any such Person, or (D) such information becomes available to any such Person from a source other than the Company and such source is not known to be bound by a confidentiality agreement; and

(xi) In the event of: (A) the issuance by the SEC of a stop order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement or the initiation of proceedings with respect to a Registration Statement under Section 8(d) or 8(e) of the Securities Act, (B) the occurrence of any event or the existence of any fact (a Material Event) as a result of which any Registration Statement shall contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or any related prospectus shall contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or (C) the occurrence or existence of any pending corporate development that, in the reasonable discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors, would cause the failure to suspend the availability of a Registration Statement and related prospectus to be seriously detrimental to the Company and its stockholders:

(1) in the case of clause (B) above, subject to the next sentence, as promptly as practicable prepare and file, if necessary pursuant to applicable law, a post-effective amendment to such Registration Statement or a supplement to the related prospectus or any document incorporated therein by reference or file any other required document that would be incorporated by reference into such Registration Statement and related prospectus so that such Registration Statement

Page 9

does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and such prospectus does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of the Registrable Securities being sold thereunder, and, in the case of a post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement, subject to the next sentence, use all commercially reasonable efforts to cause it to be declared effective as promptly as is practicable, and

(2) give notice to the Holders that the availability of such Registration Statement is suspended (a Suspension Notice) and, upon receipt of any Suspension Notice, the Holders agree not to sell any Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement until the Holders’ receipt of copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus provided for in clause (1) above, or until it is advised in writing by the Company that such prospectus may be used, and has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference in such prospectus, or until the maximum number of applicable days set forth in clauses (B) or (C) in the following paragraph have passed.

The Company will use all commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the use of the prospectus may be resumed (x) in the case of clause (A) above, as promptly as is practicable, (y) in the case of clause (B) above, as soon as, in the sole judgment of the Company, public disclosure of such Material Event would not be prejudicial to or contrary to the interests of the Company or, if necessary to avoid unreasonable burden or expense, as soon as practicable thereafter (but in no event for more than the lesser of 10 calendar days and the number of days which, aggregated with all other suspensions under clauses (B) and (C) above would result in the total number of suspended days in any twelve month period to exceed thirty (30) days) and (z) in the case of clause (C) above, as soon as in the reasonable discretion of the Company, such suspension is no longer necessary to avoid serious detriment to the Company and its stockholders (but in no event for more than the lesser of 10 calendar days and the number of days which, aggregated with all other suspensions under clauses (B) and (C) above would result in the total number of suspended days in any twelve month period to exceed thirty (30) days).

(b) In connection with any registration hereunder, the Holders shall furnish to the Company or to the managing underwriters of an offering, if any, such information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it and the intended method of disposition of such securities as shall be reasonably required to effect the registration of Registrable Securities.

(c) Except as provided in Section 2(d), all expenses incurred in effecting any registration pursuant to this Agreement (including all registration, qualification and filing fees, printing expenses, escrow fees, fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, blue sky fees and expenses, and expenses of any regular or special audits incident to or required by any such registration) shall be borne by the Company. All underwriting discounts, fees and disbursements of counsel for the Holders, brokers or other selling commissions and stock transfer taxes applicable to the sale of Registrable Securities shall be borne by the Holders.

Page 10

(d) With a view to making available to the Holders the benefits of Rule 144 under the Securities Act and any other rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit the Holders to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration or pursuant to a Form S-3 Registration Statement, the Company agrees to: (i) make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act, at all times that the Company is subject to the periodic reporting requirements under Sections 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, (ii) 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 and (iii) furnish to the Holders, forthwith upon request: (A) a written statement by the Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act at all times after it has become subject to such reporting requirements, or that it qualifies as a registrant whose securities may be resold pursuant to a Form S-3 Registration Statement at any time after it so qualifies, (B) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company and such other statements, reports and other documents filed by the Company with the SEC, and (C) such other information as may be reasonably requested in availing the Holders of any rule or regulation of the SEC which permits the selling of any such securities without registration or pursuant to a Form S-3 Registration Statement.

(e) From the date hereof until termination of this Agreement: (i) the Company shall continue to use all commercially reasonable efforts to qualify for registration on Form S-3 Registration Statements for secondary sales and (ii) the Company shall not take any action designed to materially impair or otherwise adversely affect the rights of the Holders hereunder.

Section 5. Indemnification and Contribution. In the event any Registrable Securities are included in a Registration Statement contemplated by this Agreement:

(a) To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless the Holders, each of its officers, directors and partners, legal counsel, and accountants and each Person controlling the Holders within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, with respect to which registration has been effected pursuant to this Agreement, and each underwriter, if any, and each of its officers, directors, and each Person who controls, within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, any underwriter (the Persons referred to herein, the Holder Indemnified Persons), against all expenses, claims, losses, damages, and liabilities (or actions, proceedings, or settlements in respect thereof) arising out of or based on: (i) any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained or incorporated by reference in any Registration Statement, or amendment thereto, or in any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, “issuer free writing prospectus” (as defined in Rule 433 of the Securities Act), offering circular, or other document (including any related registration statement, notification, or similar document) incident to any such registration, (ii) any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any in any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus or issuer free writing prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, or (iii) any violation (or alleged violation) by the Company of applicable law (including the Securities Act, any state securities laws or any rule or regulation thereunder) applicable to the Company and relating to action or inaction required of the Company in connection with any offering covered by such registration, and the Company will reimburse each Holder Indemnified Person for any legal and any other expenses (including expenses of enforcement of obligations hereunder) incurred in connection with investigating and defending or settling any such claim, loss, damage, liability, or action; provided that the Company will not be

Page 11

liable in any such case to the extent that any such claim, loss, damage, liability, or action arises out of or is based on any untrue statement or omission based upon written information furnished to the Company by a Holder, any of such Holder’s officers, directors, partners, legal counsel or accountants, any Person controlling such Holder, such underwriter or any Person who controls any such underwriter and stated to be specifically for use therein; and provided further that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 5(a) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned).

(b) To the extent permitted by law, each Holder will, if Registrable Securities held by such Holder are included in the securities as to which a registration is being effected pursuant to this Agreement, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, officers, partners, legal counsel, and accountants and each underwriter, if any, of the Company’s securities covered by such a registration, and each Person who controls the Company or such underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act (a Company Indemnified Person), against all claims, losses, damages and liabilities (or actions, proceedings, or settlements in respect thereof) arising out of or based on: (i) any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained or incorporated by reference in any Registration Statement, or amendment thereto, or in any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, summary prospectus, “issuer free writing prospectus” offering circular, or other document (including any related registration statement, notification or similar document) incident to any such registration or (ii) any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any in any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus or issuer free writing prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, and will reimburse each Company Indemnified Person for any legal and any other expenses (including expenses of enforcement of obligations hereunder) incurred in connection with investigating or defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability, or action, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) or omission (or alleged omission) is made in such Registration Statement , preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, summary prospectus, issuer free writing prospectus, offering circular, or other document (including any related registration statement, notification or similar document) in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Holder, any of such Holder’s officers, directors, partners, legal counsel or accountants, and any Person controlling such Holder and stated to be specifically for use therein; provided that that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 5(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of such Holder, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned; and provided further that in no event shall any indemnity under this Section 5(b) exceed the net proceeds from the offering received by such Holder (except in the case of fraud or willful misconduct by such Holder).

(c) Each Person entitled to indemnification under this Section 5 (an Indemnified Party) shall give notice to the Person required to provide indemnification under this Section 5 (an Indemnifying Party) promptly after such Indemnified Party has actual knowledge of any claim as to which indemnification may be sought hereunder, and shall permit the Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom; provided that counsel for the Indemnifying Party, who shall conduct the defense of such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom, shall be approved by the Indemnified Party, which approval shall not be unreasonably

Page 12

withheld, delayed or conditioned, and the Indemnified Party may participate in such defense at such Indemnified Party’s expense; and provided further that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Section 5, except to the such failure is materially prejudicial. No Indemnifying Party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation, shall, except with the consent of each Indemnified Party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation. Each Indemnified Party shall furnish such information regarding itself or the claim in question as an Indemnifying Party may reasonably request in writing and as shall be reasonably required in connection with defense of such claim and litigation resulting therefrom.

(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 5 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an Indemnified Party with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense referred to herein, then the Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party hereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party (on the one hand) and of the Indemnified Party (on the other) in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided that (i) in no event shall a Holder be required to contribute any amount when combined with the amounts paid or payable by such Holder (if any) pursuant to Section 5(b) in excess of the net proceeds from the offering received by such Holder and (i) 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. The relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and of the Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Indemnifying Party or by the Indemnified Party and the Parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information, and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

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

(f) Unless otherwise superceded by the underwriting agreement entered into in connection with an underwritten public offering, the obligations of the Company and the Holders under this Section 5 shall survive the consummation of any offering of Registrable Securities in a Registration Statement under this Agreement, and otherwise and shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

Section 6. Assignment of Registration Rights. The rights to cause the Company to register Registrable Securities pursuant to this Agreement may be transferred or assigned by the Investors to a transferee or assignee of such Registrable Securities that acquires at least 1,500,000 shares of Registrable Securities (subject to appropriate adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, combinations, recapitalizations and other similar transactions after the date hereof). The Investors shall, within thirty (30) calendar days after such transfer or assignment, furnish the Company with written notice of the name and address of such transferee or assignee and the

Page 13

Registrable Securities with respect to which such registration rights are being assigned. Such transfer or assignment shall be effective only upon, and such transferee shall constitute a Holder hereunder, such transferee or assignee agreeing to be bound by and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement (to the extent of the obligations of the Investors hereunder).

Section 7. Limitations of Subsequent Registration Rights. For so long as the provisions of Section 3 of the Affiliation Agreement remain in effect, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the Ipsen, enter into any agreement or amend any existing agreement with any holder or prospective holder of any securities of the Company which would allow such holder or prospective holder: (a) to include such securities in any registration unless under the terms of such agreement, such holder or prospective holder may include such securities in any such registration only to the extent that the inclusion of such securities will not reduce the amount of the Registrable Securities of the Holders to be included or (b) to demand registration of any securities held by such holder or prospective holder; provided, however, that the foregoing limitation shall not apply to any holder or prospective holder of any securities of the Company acquired in connection with any issuance of securities of the Company in compliance with the provisions of Section 3(v) of the Affiliation Agreement. From and after the date the provisions of Section 3 of the Affiliation Agreement shall cease to be effective, the Company agrees that prior to effecting any registration (other than a Rights Holder Registration, a Kingsbridge Registration or a registration effected for the Holders), the Company shall provide the Holders with written notice at least 15 Business Days prior to effecting any such registration.

Section 8. Termination of Agreement. Subject to the provisions of Section 5(f), this Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force or effect in the event that there shall cease to be any Registrable Securities outstanding for a period of 90 days or more.

Section 9. Miscellaneous.

(a) Subject to the provisions of Section 3(c), with the written consent of (i) the Company and (ii) the Holders of a majority-in-interest of the then-outstanding Registrable Securities, the obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Registrable Securities under this Agreement may be waived or amended (either generally or in a particular instance, either retroactively or prospectively and either for a specified period of time or indefinitely).

(b) This Agreement is for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Parties and their successors and permitted assigns, and nothing herein expressed or implied shall give, or be construe to give, to any Person, other than the Parties and such successors and permitted assigns, any legal or equitable right, remedies or claims under or with respect to this Agreement or any provisions hereof.
