2.3 Right of First Refusal.
(a) The Corporation shall not issue, sell or exchange, agree to issue, sell or exchange, or reserve or set aside for issuance, sale or exchange, any Offered Securities, unless in each
case the Corporation shall have first offered to sell to the Series A-1 Stockholders, Series A-2 Stockholders and the Series A-3 Stockholders (collectively, the “ROFR Stockholders”) all of such Offered Securities on the terms set forth herein. Each ROFR Stockholder shall be entitled to purchase up to its Equity Percentage of the Offered Securities. Each ROFR Stockholder may delegate its rights and obligations with respect to such Offer to one or more members of its Group, which members shall thereafter be deemed to be “ROFR Stockholders” for the purpose of applying this Section 2.3 to such Offer.
(b) The Corporation shall deliver to each ROFR Stockholder written notice of the offer to sell the Offered Securities, specifying the price and terms and conditions of the offer (the “Offer”). The Offer by its terms shall remain open and irrevocable for a period of 30 days from the date of its delivery to such ROFR Stockholders (the “30-Day Period”), subject to extension to include the Excess Securities Period (as such term is hereinafter defined).
(c) Each ROFR Stockholder shall evidence its intention to accept the Offer by delivering a written notice signed by such ROFR Stockholder, as applicable, setting forth the number of shares that such ROFR Stockholder elects to purchase (the “Notice of Acceptance”). The Notice of Acceptance must be delivered to the Corporation prior to the end of the 30-Day Period. The failure by a ROFR Stockholder 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 ROFR Stockholder fails to exercise its right hereunder to purchase its Equity Percentage of the Offered Securities, the Corporation shall so notify the other ROFR Stockholders in a written notice (the “Excess Securities Notice”). The Excess Securities Notice shall be given by the Corporation promptly after it learns of the intention of any ROFR Stockholder not to purchase all of its Equity Percentage of the Offered Securities, but in no event later than ten (10) business days after the expiration of the 30-Day Period. The ROFR 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 ROFR Stockholders (the “Excess Securities”), on a pro rata basis, by giving notice within ten (10) business days after receipt of the Excess Securities Notice from the Corporation. The twenty (20) business day period during which (i) the Corporation must give the Excess Securities Notice to the applicable ROFR Stockholders, and (ii) each of them must then give the Corporation notice of their intention to purchase all or any portion of their pro rata share of the its Excess Securities, is hereinafter referred to as the “Excess Securities Period.”
(e) If the ROFR Stockholders tender their Notice of Acceptance prior to the end of the 30-Day Period, indicating their intention to purchase all of the Offered Securities, or, if prior to the termination of the Excess Securities Period the ROFR Stockholders tender Excess Securities Notices to purchase all of the Excess Securities, the Corporation shall schedule a closing of the sale of all such Offered Securities. Upon the closing of the sale of the Offered Securities to be purchased by the ROFR Stockholders and the Excess Securities to be purchased by ROFR Stockholders, each ROFR Stockholder shall (i) purchase from the Corporation that portion of the Offered Securities and Excess Securities, as applicable, for which it tendered a Notice of Acceptance and an Excess Securities Notice, as 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 Section 3.1, 3.2 and 3.3 of this Agreement. In addition, with respect to the Offered Securities and Excess Securities being purchased by the ROFR Stockholders, the Corporation shall provide each such ROFR Stockholder with the rights and benefits set forth in this Agreement. The obligation of the ROFR Stockholders to purchase such Offered Securities and Excess Securities, as applicable, 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 ROFR Stockholder and each of their respective counsels.
(f) The Corporation shall have ninety (90) days from the expiration of the 30-Day Period, or the Excess Securities Period, if applicable, to sell the Offered Securities (including the Excess Securities) refused by the ROFR Stockholders (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 ROFR Stockholder shall (i) purchase from the Corporation those Offered Securities and Excess Securities, as applicable, 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 and Excess Securities, as applicable, substantially as set forth in Sections 3.1, 3.2 and 3.3 of this Agreement. In addition, with respect to the Offered Securities or Excess Securities being purchased by the ROFR Stockholders, the Corporation shall provide each such ROFR Stockholder 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 have each and every such person execute and deliver this Agreement, as may be modified or amended from time to time pursuant to Section 11 hereof, to the extent such purchaser has not already executed this Agreement. The obligation of the ROFR Stockholders to purchase such Offered Securities and Excess Securities, as applicable, 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 ROFR Stockholder and each of their respective counsels.
(g) In each case, any Offered Securities not purchased either by the ROFR Stockholders 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 ROFR Stockholders under the procedures specified in Paragraphs (a), (b), (c), (d), (e) and (f) hereof.
(h) Each ROFR Stockholder 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 ROFRR Stockholder.
(i) This Section 2.3 and the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall automatically terminate on the consummation of a Qualified Public Offering.
2.4 Filing of Reports Under the Exchange Act.
(a) The Corporation shall give prompt notice to the holders of Preferred Stock of (i) the filing of any registration statement (an “Exchange Act Registration Statement”) pursuant to the Exchange Act, relating to any class of equity securities of the Corporation, (ii) the effectiveness of such Exchange Act Registration Statement, and (iii) the number of shares of such class of equity securities outstanding, as reported in such Exchange Act Registration Statement, in order to enable the Stockholders to comply with any reporting requirements under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act. Upon the written request of the Majority Investors, the Corporation shall, at any time after the Corporation has already registered shares of Common Stock under the Securities Act file an Exchange Act Registration Statement relating to any class of equity securities of the Corporation 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 Series A-1 Stockholders, 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)(I) 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 other 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 Stock by any holder of Restricted Stock or the sale of any of the Series A-1 Stock by any holder of Series A-1 Stock (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 Registrable Securities in supplying such information as may be necessary for such holder 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 Registrable Securities.

2.7 Preservation of Corporate Existence. The Corporation shall preserve and maintain its corporate existence, rights, franchises and privileges in the jurisdiction of its incorporation, and qualify and remain qualified as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in which (i) such qualification is necessary or desirable in view of its business and operations or the ownership or lease of its properties or (ii) the failure to so qualify would have a material adverse effect on the business, properties, assets or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Corporation.
2.8 Compliance with Laws. The Corporation shall comply with all applicable laws, rules, regulations, requirements and orders of the United States or any applicable foreign jurisdiction in the conduct of its business including, without limitation, all labor, employment, wage and hour, health and safety, environmental, health insurance, health information security, privacy, data protection and data transfer laws, and shall adopt and monitor policies and procedures designed to comply with all such applicable laws, rules, regulations and orders, except where noncompliance would not have a material adverse effect on the business, properties, assets or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Corporation.
2.9 Payment of Taxes. The Corporation will pay and discharge all lawful Taxes (as defined below) before such Taxes shall become in default and all lawful claims for labor, materials and supplies which, if not paid when due, might become a lien or charge upon its property or any part thereof; provided, however, that the Corporation shall not be required to pay and discharge any such Tax, assessment, charge, levy or claim so long as the validity thereof is being contested by or for the Corporation in good faith by appropriate proceedings and an adequate reserve therefore has been established on its books. The term “Tax” (and, with correlative meaning, “Taxes”) means all United States federal, state and local, and all foreign, income, profits, franchise, gross receipts, payroll, transfer, sales, employment, use, property, excise, value added, ad valorem, estimated, stamp, alternative or add-on minimum, recapture, environmental, withholding and any other taxes, charges, duties, impositions or

Any grants of capital stock or options to employees, officers, directors or consultants of the Corporation and its Subsidiaries shall be made pursuant to the Plan.

The Corporation hereby covenants and agrees that at no time after the date of this Agreement, without the prior written consent of each of Wellcome, one member of the HCV Group, one member of the MPM Group, one member of the Brookside Group, one member of the BB Bio Group, and one member of the Oxford/Saints Group, shall it enter into any agreement or amend the Certificate to implement terms that would automatically convert Preferred Shares into shares of Common Stock, or impose any other penalty on the holder of Preferred Shares, solely because the holders of such Preferred Shares fail to participate at any level in a transaction pursuant to which the Corporation raises funds through the issuance of debt or equity securities (other than any Closing contemplated by the Stock Purchase Agreement).
2.12 Confidentiality, Assignment of Inventions and Non-Competition Agreements for Key Employees. The Corporation shall cause each person who becomes an employee of or a consultant to the Corporation subsequent to the date hereof, and who shall have or be proposed to have access to confidential or proprietary information of the Corporation, to execute a confidentiality, assignment of inventions, and non-competition agreement in form and substance attached hereto as Exhibit A or otherwise approved by the Board prior to the commencement of such person’s employment by the Corporation in such capacity.
2.13 Duration of Section. Sections 2.5 through 2.12 and the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall automatically terminate on the earlier of (i) the consummation of an Event of Sale (as defined in the Certificate) or (ii) the automatic conversion of all of the Preferred Stock of the Corporation pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Certificate upon the listing, or the admitting for trading, of the Common Stock on a national securities exchange.
SECTION 3. Transfer of Securities.
3.1 Restriction on Transfer. The Series A-1 Preferred Stock, Series A-2 Preferred Stock, the Series A-3 Preferred Stock and the Restricted Stock shall not be transferable, except upon the conditions specified in this Section 3, which conditions are intended solely to ensure compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act in respect of the Transfer thereof. In addition, no Series A-1 Preferred Stock, Series A-2 Preferred Stock, the Series A-3 Preferred Stock or Restricted Stock shall be transferred unless, as conditions precedent to such transfer, the transferee thereof agrees in writing to be bound by the obligations of the transferring Stockholder hereunder.
3.2 Restrictive Legend. Each certificate evidencing any Series A-1 Preferred Stock, Series A-2 Preferred Stock, Series A-3 Preferred Stock and Restricted Stock and each certificate evidencing any such securities issued to subsequent transferees of any Series A-1 Preferred Stock, Series A-2 Preferred Stock, Series A-3 Preferred Stock and Restricted Stock shall (unless otherwise permitted by the provisions of Section 3.3 or 3.10 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 (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), 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 OR ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAW OR AN EXEMPTION THEREFROM UNDER SUCH ACT OR LAW.
3.3 Notice of Transfer. By acceptance of any Restricted Stock, Series A-1 Preferred Stock, Series A-2 Preferred Stock or Series A-3 Preferred Stock, 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 Stock, Series A-1 Preferred Stock, Series A-2 Preferred Stock or Series A-3 Preferred Stock, 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 Stock, Series A-1 Preferred Stock, Series A-2 Preferred Stock or Series A-3 Preferred Stock 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 Stock, Series A-1 Preferred Stock, Series A-2 Preferred Stock or Series A-3 Preferred Stock 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 the holder of such Restricted Stock, Series A-1 Preferred Stock, Series A-2 Preferred Stock or Series A-3 Preferred Stock, describing in detail the proposed method of disposition and requesting the Corporation to effect the registration of such Registrable 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, 3.10 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 Stock, Series A-1 Preferred Stock, Series A-2 Preferred Stock or Series A-3 Preferred Stock 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 the terms of Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.10 hereof to the same extent as if such transferee were originally a signatory to this Agreement. If in an 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 Stock, Series A-1 Preferred Stock, Series A-2 Preferred Stock or Series A-3 Preferred Stock 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 Stock, Series A-1 Preferred Stock, Series A-2 Preferred Stock or Series A-3 Preferred Stock 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, if applicable, until registration of the Registrable 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 Stock, Series A-1 Preferred Stock, Series A-2 Preferred Stock or Series A-3 Preferred Stock in the future, the Corporation shall seek and obtain such opinion from its counsel, and the holder of such Restricted Stock, Series A-1 Preferred Stock, Series A-2 Preferred Stock or Series A-3 Preferred Stock 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. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the provisions of this Section 3.3 and of Sections 3.1 and 3.2 shall not apply, and shall be deemed of no force or effect, with respect to shares of capital stock of the Corporation that are subject to a re-sale registration statement under the Securities Act, provided that such registration statement has been declared, and continues to remain, effective by the Commission.
3.4 Registration Rights.
(a) Shelf Registration.
(i) On or prior to the Filing Date, the Corporation shall prepare and file with the Commission a Registration Statement covering the resale of all of the Registrable Shares for an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415. The Registration Statement shall be on Form S-1 or another appropriate form in accordance herewith and shall contain (unless otherwise directed by Holders of at least 85% of the then outstanding Registrable Shares) substantially the “Plan of Distribution” attached hereto as Annex A. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Corporation shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as possible after the filing thereof, but in any event on or prior to the Effectiveness Date, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to keep the Registration Statement continuously effective (whether on Form S-1 or amended to Form S-3 or another appropriate form in accordance herewith) under the Securities Act until all Registrable Shares have been sold, or may be sold without volume restrictions pursuant to Rule 144, as determined by the counsel to the Corporation pursuant to a written opinion letter to such effect, addressed and acceptable to the transfer agent of the Corporation and the affected Holders (the “Effectiveness Period”). The Corporation shall telephonically request effectiveness of the Registration Statement as of 5:00 p.m. New York City time on a day during which the public markets are open for trading stocks (a “Trading Day”). The Corporation shall immediately notify the Holders via facsimile or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement on the same Trading Day that the Corporation telephonically confirms effectiveness with the Commission, which shall be the date requested for effectiveness of the Registration Statement. The Corporation shall, by 9:30 a.m. New York City time on the Trading Day after the Effective Date, file a final Prospectus with the Commission as required by Rule 424. Failure to so notify the Holder within 1 Trading Day of such notification of effectiveness or failure to file a final Prospectus as foresaid shall be deemed an Event under Section 3.4(b).
(ii) If: (A) the Registration Statement is not filed on or prior to the Filing Date or has not been declared effective by the Commission by the Effectiveness Date, or (B) the Corporation fails to file with the Commission a request for acceleration in accordance with Rule 461 promulgated under the Securities Act, within 5 Trading Days of the date that the Corporation is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the Commission that a Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or not be subject to further review, or (C) prior to the Effectiveness Date of a Registration Statement, the Corporation fails to file a pre-effective amendment and otherwise respond in writing to comments made by the Commission in respect of such Registration Statement within 14 calendar days after the receipt of comments by or notice from the Commission that such amendment is required in order for such Registration Statement to be declared effective, or (D) after the Effectiveness Date of a Registration Statement, such Registration Statement ceases for any reason to remain continuously effective as to all Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement, or the Holders are otherwise not permitted to utilize the Prospectus therein to resell such Registrable Securities, for more than 20 consecutive calendar days or more than an aggregate of 40 calendar days during any 12-month period (which need not be consecutive calendar days) (any such failure or breach being referred to as an “Event”, and for purposes of clause (A) the date on which such Event occurs, or for purposes of clause (B) the date on which such 5 Trading Day period is exceeded, or for purposes of clause (C) the date which such 14 calendar day period is exceeded, or for purposes of clause (D) the date on which such 20 or 40 calendar day period, as applicable, is exceeded being referred to as an “Event Date”), then, in addition to any other rights the Holders may have hereunder or under applicable law, on each such Event Date and on each monthly anniversary of each such Event Date (if the applicable Event shall not have been cured by such date) until the applicable Event is cured, the Corporation shall pay to each Holder an amount in cash, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, equal to 1% of the aggregate purchase price paid by such Holder pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement for any Registrable Securities then held by such Holder. The parties agree that the maximum aggregate liquidated damages payable to a Holder under this Agreement shall be sixteen percent (16%) of the aggregate Purchase Price (as defined in the Stock Purchase Agreement) paid by such Holder pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement. If the Corporation fails to pay any partial liquidated damages pursuant to this Section 3.4(b) in full within seven days after the date payable, the Corporation will pay interest thereon at a rate of ten percent (10%) per annum (or such lesser maximum amount that is permitted to be paid by applicable law) to the Holder, accruing daily from the date such partial liquidated damages are due until such amounts, plus all such interest thereon, are paid in full. The partial liquidated damages pursuant to the terms hereof shall apply on a daily pro-rata basis for any portion of a month prior to the cure of an Event.
(iii) In the event that the Corporation is unable for any reason to include in the Registration Statement required to be filed under Section 3.4(a)(i) all of the Registrable Securities, then the Corporation shall use its reasonable best efforts to file and cause to be declared effective additional Registration Statements, in order to uphold its obligations under Section 3.4(a)(i), as promptly as practicable. If not all Registrable Securities may be included in any one Registration Statement, then the Registrable Securities to be included shall be allocated among Holders of such Registrable Securities on a pro rata basis based on the total number of Registrable Securities held by all Holders that have not been included in a Registration Statement.
(b) Registration Procedures. In connection with the Corporation’s registration obligations hereunder, the Corporation shall:
(i) Not less than seven Trading Days prior to the filing of any Registration Statement and not less than two Trading Days prior to the filing of any related Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, (A) furnish to each Holder copies of all such documents proposed to be filed, which documents (other than those incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference) will be subject to the review of such Holders, and (B) cause its officers and directors, counsel and
independent certified public accountants to respond to such inquiries as shall be necessary, in the reasonable opinion of respective counsel to each Holder, to conduct a reasonable investigation within the meaning of the Securities Act; and not file a Registration Statement or any such Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto to which the Holders of 67% of the Registrable Securities shall reasonably object in good faith, provided that the Corporation is notified of such objection in writing no later than 5 Trading Days after the Holders have been so furnished copies of a Registration Statement or 1 Trading Day after the Holders have been so furnished copies of any related Prospectus or amendments or supplements thereto. Each Holder agrees to furnish to the Corporation a completed questionnaire in the form attached to this Agreement as Annex B or other form reasonably acceptable to the Corporation (a “Selling Stockholder Questionnaire”) not less than 2 Trading Days prior to the Filing Date or by the end of the 4th Trading Day following the date on which such Holder receives draft materials in accordance with this Section. During any periods that the Corporation is unable to meet its obligations hereunder with respect to the registration of the Registrable Securities because the Holders of 67% of the Registrable Securities exercise their rights under this section to object to the filing of a Registration Statement, any liquidated damages that are accruing, at such time shall be tolled and any Event that may otherwise occur because of the exercise of such rights or such delay shall be suspended, until the Holders of 67% of the Registrable Securities no longer object to the filing of such Registration Statement (provided that such tolling shall only occur if the Corporation uses commercially reasonable efforts to resolve such objection). If any Holder fails to furnish its Selling Stockholder Questionnaire related to a particular Registration Statement not less than 2 Trading Days prior to the Filing Date or by the end of the 4th Trading Day following the date on which such Holder receives draft materials in accordance with this Section, any liquidated damages that are accruing, as well as any other rights of such Holder under this Agreement with regard to such Registration Statement, including without limitation, the right to include such Holder’s Registrable Securities in such Registration Statement, shall be tolled as to such Holder until such information is received by the Corporation; provided, however, that the Corporation shall use commercially reasonable efforts to include such Registrable Securities in such Registration Statement or the next most available Registration Statement as soon as possible after such information is furnished to the Corporation.
(ii) (A) Prepare and file with the Commission such amendments, including post-effective amendments, to a Registration Statement and the Prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep a Registration Statement continuously effective as to the applicable Registrable Securities for the Effectiveness Period and prepare and file with the Commission such additional Registration Statements in order to register for resale under the Securities Act all of the Registrable Securities; (B) cause the related Prospectus to be amended or supplemented by any required Prospectus supplement (subject to the terms of this Agreement), and as so supplemented or amended to be filed pursuant to Rule 424; (C) respond as promptly as reasonably possible to any comments received from the Commission with respect to a Registration Statement or any amendment thereto and provide as promptly as reasonably possible to the Holders true and complete copies of all correspondence from and to the Commission relating to a Registration Statement (provided that the Corporation may excise any information contained therein which would constitute material non-public information as to any Holder which has not executed a confidentiality agreement with the Corporation); and (D) comply in all material respects with the provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement during the applicable period in accordance (subject to the terms of this Agreement) with the intended methods of disposition by the Holders thereof set forth in such Registration Statement as so amended or in such Prospectus as so supplemented.
(iii) If during the Effectiveness Period, the number of Registrable Securities at any time exceeds 100% of the number of shares of Common Stock then registered in a Registration Statement, file as soon as reasonably practicable an additional Registration Statement covering the resale by the Holders of not less than the number of such Registrable Securities.
(iv) Notify the Holders of Registrable Securities to be sold (which notice shall, pursuant to clauses (C) through (F) hereof, be accompanied by an instruction to suspend the use of the Prospectus until the requisite changes have been made) as promptly as reasonably possible (and, in the case of (A)(1) below, not less than 1 Trading Day prior to such filing, in the case of (C) and (D) below, not more than 1 Trading Day after such issuance or receipt and, in the case of (E) below, not less than 3 Trading Days prior to the financial statements in any Registration Statement becoming ineligible for inclusion therein) and (if requested by any such Person) confirm such notice in writing no later than 1 Trading Day following the day (A)(1) when a Prospectus or any Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement is proposed to be filed; (2) when the Commission notifies the Corporation whether there will be a “review” of such Registration Statement and whenever the Commission comments in writing on such Registration Statement (in which case the Corporation shall provide true and complete copies thereof and all written responses thereto to each of the Holders that pertain to the Holders as a selling stockholder or to the Plan of Distribution, but not information which the Corporation believes would constitute material and non-public information); and (3) with respect to a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment, when the same has become effective; (B) of any request by the Commission or any other federal or state governmental authority for amendments or supplements to a Registration Statement or Prospectus or for additional information; (C) of the issuance by the Commission or any other federal or state governmental authority of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement covering any or all of the Registrable Securities or the initiation of any Proceedings for that purpose; (D) of the receipt by the Corporation of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation or threatening of any Proceeding for such purpose; (E) of the occurrence of any event or passage of time that makes the financial statements included in a Registration Statement ineligible for inclusion therein or any statement made in a Registration Statement or Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference untrue in any material respect or that requires any revisions to a Registration Statement, Prospectus or other documents so that, in the case of a Registration Statement or the Prospectus, as the case may be, it will 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 light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; and (F) the occurrence or existence of any pending corporate development with respect to the Corporation that the Corporation believes may be material and that, in the good faith determination of the Corporation, based on the advice of counsel, makes it not in the best interest of the Corporation to allow continued availability of a Registration Statement or Prospectus, provided that any and all of such information shall remain confidential to each Holder until such information otherwise becomes public, unless disclosure by a Holder is required by law; provided, further, that notwithstanding each Holder’s agreement to keep such information confidential, the Holders make no acknowledgement that any such information is material, non-public information.
(v) Use its reasonable best efforts to avoid the issuance of, or, if issued, obtain the withdrawal of (A) any order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement, or (B) any suspension of the qualification (or exemption from qualification) of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, at the earliest practicable moment.
(vi) If requested by a Holder, furnish to such Holder, without charge (A) at least one conformed copy of each such Registration Statement and each amendment thereto, including financial statements and schedules, all documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference to the extent requested by such Person, and all exhibits to the extent requested by such Person (including those previously furnished or incorporated by reference) promptly after the filing of such documents with the Commission, and (B) during the Effectiveness Period, as many copies of the Prospectus included in the Registration Statement and any amendment or supplement thereto as such
Holder may reasonably request; provided, however, that the Corporation shall have no obligation to provide any document pursuant to this clause that is available on the Commission’s XXXXX system.
(vii) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, consent to the use of each Prospectus and each amendment or supplement thereto by each of the selling Holders in connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable Securities covered by such Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto, except after the giving of any notice pursuant to Section 3.4(b)(iv).
(viii) Effect a filing with respect to the public offering contemplated by the Registration Statement (an “Issuer Filing”) with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) Corporate Financing Department pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110 within 1 Trading Day of the date that the Registration Statement is first filed with the Commission and pay the filing fee required by such Issuer Filing; and use commercially reasonable efforts to pursue the Issuer Filing until FINRA issues a letter confirming that it does not object to the terms of the offering contemplated by the Registration Statement.
(ix) Prior to any resale of Registrable Securities by a Holder, use its reasonable best efforts to register or qualify or cooperate with the selling Holders in connection with the registration or qualification (or exemption from the registration or qualification) of such Registrable Securities for the resale by the Holder under the securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions within the United States as any Holder reasonably requests in writing, to keep each registration or qualification (or exemption therefrom) effective during the Effectiveness Period and to do any and all other acts or things reasonably necessary to enable the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement; provided, that the Corporation shall not be required to qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified, subject the Corporation to any material tax in any such jurisdiction where it is not then so subject or file a general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction.
(x) If requested by the Holders, cooperate with the Holders to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing Registrable Securities to be delivered to a transferee pursuant to a Registration Statement, which certificates shall be free, to the extent permitted by the Stock Purchase Agreement, of all restrictive legends, and to enable such Registrable Securities to be in such denominations and registered in such names as any such Holders may request. In connection therewith, if required by the Corporation’s transfer agent, the Corporation shall promptly after the effectiveness of a Registration Statement cause an opinion of counsel as to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement to be delivered to and maintained with the transfer agent, together with any other authorizations, certificates and directions required by the transfer agent, which authorize and direct the transfer agent to issue such Registrable Securities without legend upon sale by the holder of such shares of Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement.
(xi) Upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by this Section 3.4(b), as promptly as reasonably possible under the circumstances taking into account the Corporation’s good faith assessment of any adverse consequences to the Corporation and its stockholders of the premature disclosure of such event, prepare a supplement or amendment, including a post-effective amendment, to a Registration Statement or a supplement to the related Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, and file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered, neither a Registration Statement nor Prospectus will contain 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, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. If the Corporation notifies and instructs the Holders in accordance with clauses (iii) through (vi) of Section 3.4(b)(iv) above to suspend the use of any Prospectus until the requisite changes to such
Prospectus have been made, then the Holders shall suspend use of such Prospectus; use its reasonable best efforts to ensure that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed as promptly as is practicable; and be entitled to exercise its right under this Section 3.4(b)(xi) to suspend the availability of a Registration Statement and Prospectus, subject to the payment of partial liquidated damages pursuant to Section 3.4(a)(ii), for a period not to exceed 40 calendar days (which need not be consecutive days) in any 12 month period.
(xii) Comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission.
(c) The Corporation may require each selling Holder to furnish to the Corporation a certified statement as to the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Holder and any affiliate thereof and as to any FINRA affiliations and, if required by the Commission, of any natural persons that have voting and dispositive control over the Registrable Securities. During any periods that the Corporation is unable to meet its obligations hereunder with respect to the registration of the Registrable Securities solely because any Holder fails to furnish such information within 3 Trading Days of the Corporation’s request, any liquidated damages that are accruing at such time as to such Holder only, as well as any other rights of such Holder under this Agreement, including without limitation, the right to include such Holder’s Registrable Securities in a Registration Statement shall be tolled and any Event that may otherwise occur solely because of such delay shall be suspended as to such Holder only, until such information is delivered to the Corporation; provided, however, that the Corporation shall use commercially reasonable efforts to include such Registrable Securities in such Registration Statement or the next most available Registration Statement as soon as possible after such information is furnished to 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 X-0, Xxxx X-0 or Form S-1 or similar or successor forms, but in regard to Form S-1 only in connection with the initial public offering of the Corporation’s Common Stock (collectively, “Excluded Forms”), the Corporation shall promptly give written notice of such proposed registration to all holders of Registrable Securities, which notice shall also constitute an offer to such holders to request inclusion of any Registrable Shares in the proposed registration.
(b) Each holder of Registrable Securities shall have 30 days from the receipt of such notice to deliver to the Corporation a written request specifying the number of Registrable 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 Registrable 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 Registrable 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 Registrable 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 Registrable 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 Registrable 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, (ii) second, if necessary by all Registrable Securities which are not Series A-2 Registrable Securities, Series A-3 Registrable Securities or Series A-1 Registrable Securities, and (iii) third, 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 holders of Series A-2 Registrable Shares, Series A-3 Registrable Shares and/or Series A-1 Registrable Shares proposed to be included in such registration by the holders thereof, on a pro rata basis calculated based upon the number of Registrable Shares, Series A-2 Registrable Shares, Series A-3 Registrable Shares or Series A-1 Registrable Shares sought to be registered by each such holder; provided, that the aggregate number of securities proposed to be included in such registration by the holders of Series A-2 Registrable Shares, Series A-3 Registrable Shares and/or Series A-1 Registrable Shares shall only be reduced hereunder if and to the extent that such securities exceed twenty-five percent (25%) of the aggregate number of securities included in such registration. 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 90 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.
3.6 Registrations on Form S-3. At such time as the Registration Statement contemplated by Section 3.4 shall no longer be effective, each holder of Registrable Securities shall have the right to request in writing an unlimited number of registrations on Form S-3. Each such request by a holder shall: (a) specify the number of Registrable 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 Registrable Shares, and (c) request registration of Registrable Shares having a proposed aggregate offering price of at least $1,000,000. Upon receipt of an adequate request pursuant to this Section 3.6, the Corporation shall use its best efforts to effect such registration or registrations on Form S-3.
3.7 Preparation and Filing. If and whenever the Corporation is under an obligation pursuant to the provisions of Sections 3.5 and/or 3.6 to use its best efforts to effect the registration of any Registrable Shares, the Corporation shall, as expeditiously as practicable:
(a) prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement with respect to such securities and use its best efforts to cause such registration statement to become and remain effective in accordance with Section 3.7(b) hereof;
(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 Registrable Shares covered thereby or (ii) nine months from the date such registration statement first becomes effective, and to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the sale or other disposition of all Registrable Shares covered by such registration statement;
(c) furnish to each holder whose Registrable Shares are being registered pursuant to this Section 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 Registrable Shares;
(d) use its best efforts to register or qualify the Registrable Shares covered by such registration statement under the securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as each holder whose Registrable Shares are being registered pursuant to this Section 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 Registrable 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 Registrable Shares are being registered pursuant to this Section 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 Registrable Shares that are being registered pursuant to this Section 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 Registrable 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 Registrable Shares; and
(g) furnish, at the request of any holder whose Registrable Shares are being registered pursuant to this Section 3, on the date that such Registrable Shares are delivered to the underwriters for sale in connection with a registration pursuant to this Section 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.

3.9 Indemnification.
(a) In the event of any registration of any Registrable Shares under the Securities Act pursuant to this Section 3 or registration or qualification of any Registrable Shares pursuant to Section 3.7(d) hereof, the Corporation shall indemnify and hold harmless the seller of such shares, each underwriter of such shares, if any, each broker or any other person acting on behalf of such seller and each other person, if any, who controls any of the foregoing persons, within the meaning of the Securities Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which any of the foregoing persons may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any registration statement under which such Registrable Shares were registered under the Securities Act, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any document incident to registration or qualification of any Registrable Shares pursuant to Section 3.7(d) hereof or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or, with respect to any prospectus, necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or any violation by the Corporation of the Securities Act or any state securities or blue sky laws applicable to the Corporation and relating to action or inaction required of the Corporation in connection with such registration or qualification under the Securities Act or such state securities or blue sky laws. The Corporation shall reimburse on demand such seller, underwriter, broker or other person acting on behalf of such seller and each 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 Registrable 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 hereof.
(b) Before Registrable Shares held by any prospective seller shall be included in any registration pursuant to this Section 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 Registrable 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 such indemnifying party 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 in respect of which it is obligated to indemnify an indemnified party or parties hereunder, without the written consent of the indemnified party or parties, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
(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 Registrable 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 Registrable 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 Registrable Shares, the Corporation, the holders of such Registrable 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 Removal of Legends, Etc. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3, the restrictions imposed by this Section 3 upon the transferability of any Restricted Stock, Series A-1 Preferred Stock, Series A-2 Preferred Stock or Series A-3 Preferred Stock shall cease and terminate when (a) any such Restricted Stock, Series A-1 Preferred Stock, Series A-2 Preferred Stock or Series A-3 Preferred Stock are sold or otherwise disposed of in accordance with the intended method of disposition by the seller or sellers thereof 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 lime), or (b) the holder of Restricted Stock, Series A-1 Preferred Stock, Series A-2 Preferred Stock or Series A-3 Preferred Stock has met the requirements for transfer of such Restricted Stock, Series A-1 Preferred Stock, Series A-2 Preferred Stock or Series A-3 Preferred Stock pursuant to subparagraph (b)(1) 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 Section 3 have terminated, a holder of a certificate for Restricted Stock, Series A-1 Preferred Stock, Series A-2 Preferred Stock or Series A-3 Preferred Stock as to which such restrictions have terminated shall be entitled 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 Section 3. Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall limit the restrictions imposed upon transfer of the Restricted Securities pursuant to Section 8 hereof nor the imposition of the legend provided for therein.

In the event that any Series A-1 Preferred Stockholder, Series A-2 Preferred Stockholder, Series A-3 Preferred Stockholder, Series A-5 Preferred Stockholder, Series A-6 Preferred Stockholder or any director, officer, employee, affiliate or agent thereof (the “Indemnitees”), become involved in any capacity in any action, proceeding, investigation or inquiry in connection with or arising out of any matter related to the Corporation or any Indemnitee’s role or position with the Corporation, the Corporation shall reimburse each Indemnitee for its legal and other expenses (including the cost of any investigation and preparation) as they are incurred by such Indemnitee in connection therewith.

The foregoing agreement shall be in addition to any rights that any Indemnitee may have at common law or otherwise.
5.2 Advancement of Expenses. The Corporation shall advance all expenses reasonably incurred by or on behalf of the Indemnitees in connection with any Claim or potential Claim

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. 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.

TO
AMENDED AND RESTATED STOCKHOLDERS’ AGREEMENT

WHEREAS, the Company and the undersigned stockholders of the Company, comprising the Majority Investors (as defined in the Agreement), desire to amend the Agreement to exclude from the right of first refusal the shares issued under the Company’s 2011 Equity Incentive Plan.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Clause (ii) of the definition of “Excluded Securities” in the Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
“(ii) Common Stock issued or issuable to officers, directors or employees of, or consultants or independent contractors to, the Corporation, pursuant to any written agreement, plan or arrangement, including without limitation pursuant to any awards granted under the 2003 Long-Term Incentive Plan, as amended, of the Corporation or the 2011 Equity Incentive Plan of the Corporation, to purchase, or rights to subscribe for, such Common Stock, that has been approved in form and in substance by the holders of a majority of the voting power of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock then outstanding, calculated in accordance with Section A.6(a) of Article III of the Certificate, and which, as a condition precedent to the issuance of such shares, provides for the vesting of such shares and subjects such shares to restrictions on Transfers and rights of first offer in favor of the Corporation; provided, however, that the maximum number of shares of Common Stock heretofore or hereafter issuable pursuant to the 2003 Long-Term Incentive Plan, as amended, or the 2011 Equity Incentive Plan, and all such agreements, plans and arrangements shall not exceed 3,597,889 shares of Common Stock.”
2. The second sentence of Section 2.10 of the Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
“Any grants of capital stock or options to employees, officers, directors or consultants of the Corporation and its Subsidiaries shall be made pursuant to a plan, agreement or arrangement approved by the Board of Directors of the Corporation.”
3. Except as modified by this Amendment, the Agreement is hereby reaffirmed in its entirety by the parties hereto and shall continue in full force and effect. This Amendment shall
be construed and enforced in accordance with and governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of laws thereof that would result in the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction. This Amendment 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.
[remainder of page intentionally left blank; signatures follow]
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of the undersigned has caused this Amendment to be duly executed on its behalf as of the day and year first above written.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Clause (C) of Section 3.11(b) of the Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
“(C) in no event shall any Stockholder be permitted, during the period commencing on the date hereof and ending on the date of the listing of the Common Stock on a national securities exchange, to sell, assign, transfer, make a short sale of, loan, grant any option for the purchase of, any shares of Common Stock for a price that is less than $8.142 per share (subject to proportionate and equitable adjustment upon any stock split, stock dividend, reverse stock split or similar event affecting the Common Stock that becomes effective after the date of this Agreement) or any other shares of capital stock of the Company for an effective price that is less than $8.142 per share on an as-converted to Common Stock basis (subject to proportionate and equitable adjustment upon any stock split, stock dividend, reverse stock split or similar event affecting the Common Stock that becomes effective after the date of this Agreement), except (x) with the prior written consent of the Company or (y) to a member of such Stockholder’s Group.”
2. Upon, and subject to, the effectiveness of the Form S-1 on or prior to November 14, 2011, the Company shall have complied with all of its obligations under Section 3.4(a)(ii) of the Agreement with respect to the Registration Statement, no Event shall have occurred and the Company shall have no liability or obligation to pay any damages under the Agreement with
respect to such Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the terms of Section 3.4(a)(iii), the Registrable Securities to be included in the Registration Statement shall be allocated in the manner they will have been allocated in the Form S-1.
3. Solely of the purposes of Sections 3.4 through 3.12 of the Agreement, the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the stock options issued to Xxxx X. Xxxxxxxx prior to the date hereof or upon the exercise of any stock options issued to Xxxx X. Xxxxxx prior to November 30, 2011 shall be Registrable Securities as if such shares of Common Stock were Series A-1 Conversion Shares, and shall engender to each of Xx. Xxxxxxxx and Xx. Xxxxxx, as the case may be, the rights and obligations under the terms of Sections 3.4 through Section 3.12 of the Agreement (but not any other section of the Agreement) attributable to holders of Series A-1 Preferred Stock.
4. Notwithstanding anything in the Agreement to the contrary, any holder of shares of capital stock of the Company or other securities of the Company may become a party to the Agreement following the delivery to, and written acceptance by, the Company of an executed Instrument of Adherence to the Agreement substantially in the form attached to the Agreement as Annex C. No action or consent by Stockholder parties to the Agreement shall be required for such joinder to the Agreement by such holder, so long as such holder has agreed in writing to be bound by all of the obligations as a Stockholder party under the Agreement as indicated in the Instrument of Adherence and the Instrument of Adherence has been accepted by the Company. Notwithstanding anything in the Agreement to the contrary, any holder of shares of capital stock of the Company or other securities of the Company may become a party to the Agreement by executing and delivering to the Company this Amendment, and no action or consent by Stockholder parties to the Agreement shall be required for such joinder to the Agreement.
5. Each party to this Amendment that was not a party to the Agreement prior to its execution of this Amendment (an “Additional Party”) hereby agrees that such Additional Party, (i) in the case of a holder of Common Stock, has become a party and subject to the Agreement (as amended by this Amendment) in the capacity of a Common Stockholder and Stockholder, (ii) in the case of a holder of an option to purchase Common Stock, effective upon the exercise of such option, shall be a party and subject to the Agreement (as amended by this Amendment) in the capacity of a Common Stockholder and Stockholder, (iii) in the case of a holder of a warrant to purchase shares of Preferred Stock, effective upon the exercise of such warrant, shall be a party and subject to the Agreement (as amended by this Amendment) in the capacity of a Stockholder, and in each case shall be deemed to have made all of the representations and warranties made by a Stockholder under the Agreement.
6. Except as modified by this Amendment, the Agreement is hereby reaffirmed in its entirety by the Stockholders and shall continue in full force and effect. This Amendment shall be construed and enforced in accordance with and governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of laws thereof that would result in the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction. This Amendment 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.
