the rights of the Investors with respect to information about the Company and with respect to
restriction.
AGREEMENT
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants set forth herein, the
parties hereto agree as follows:
1. | Registration Rights. The Company covenants and agrees as follows: |

(a) The term “Act” means the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company pursuant to the Company’s then
current Certificate of Incorporation.
(c) The term “Common Stock” means the common stock of the Company.
(d) The terms “Form S-1”, “Form S-3” and “Form S-8” mean such forms under the Act as in effect
on the date hereof or any successor registration form, document or policy subsequently adopted by
the SEC to replace such forms, or in the case of Form S-3, any
registration form under the Act subsequently adopted by the SEC which permits inclusion or
incorporation of substantial information by reference to other documents filed by the Company with
the SEC.
(e) The term “Holder” means any person owning or having the right to acquire Registrable
Securities or any assignee thereof in accordance with Section 3 hereof.
(f) The term “IPO” shall mean the closing of the Company’s first firm commitment, underwritten
public offering registered under the Act in connection with which all outstanding shares of
Preferred Stock are automatically converted into shares of Common Stock pursuant to the terms of
the Company’s then current Certificate of Incorporation.
(g) The term “1934 Act” means the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
(h) The term “Preferred Stock” means collectively the Series A Preferred Stock, the Series B
Preferred Stock and the Series C Preferred Stock of the Company.
(i) The term “register,” “registered,” and “registration” refer to a registration effected by
preparing and filing with the SEC a registration statement or similar document in compliance with
the Act, and the declaration or ordering of effectiveness of such registration statement or
document.
(j) The term “Registrable Securities” means the Common Stock issuable or issued upon
conversion of the Preferred Stock, and any Common Stock of the Company issued upon any stock split,
stock dividend, recapitalization, or similar event, dividend or other distribution with respect to,
or in exchange for or in replacement of the Preferred Stock excluding in all cases, however (1) any
Registrable Securities sold by a person in a transaction in which such person’s rights under
Section 1 are not assigned or (2) any Common Stock held by a Holder that ceases to have
registration rights in accordance with Section 1.16.
(k) The number of shares of “Registrable Securities then Outstanding” shall be the sum of (i)
the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding which are Registrable Securities, plus (ii) the
number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to then exercisable or convertible securities
which are Registrable Securities.
(l) The term “SEC” shall mean the Securities and Exchange Commission.
1.2 | Request for Registration |
(a) If the Company shall receive at any time after the earlier of (i) the fourth (4th)
anniversary of the date hereof or (ii) six (6) months after the effective date of the IPO (other
than a registration statement relating either to the sale of securities to employees of the Company
pursuant to a stock option, stock purchase or similar plan or a SEC Rule 145 transaction that does
not cause any securities of the Company similar to the Registrable Securities to be listed on a
securities exchange), a written request from the Holders of at least 30% of the Registrable
Securities then outstanding that the Company file a registration statement
under the Act covering the registration of at least twenty percent (20%) of the Registrable
Securities then outstanding (or such lesser number of shares of Registrable Securities, with an
anticipated aggregate offering price of which, net of underwriting discounts and commissions, would
exceed $5,000,000) then the Company shall:
- 2 -
(b) within ten (10) days of the receipt thereof, give written notice of such request to all
Holders; and
(c) use its best efforts to effect as soon as practicable, the registration under the Act of
all Registrable Securities which the Holders request (within twenty (20) days of the mailing of
such notice by the Company in accordance hereof) to be registered, subject to the limitations of
subsection 1.2(d).
(d) If the Holders initiating the registration request hereunder (“Initiating Holders”) intend
to distribute the Registrable Securities covered by their request by means of an underwriting, they
shall so advise the Company as a part of their request made pursuant to subsection 1.2(a) and the
Company shall include such information in the written notice referred to in subsection 1.2(a). The
underwriter will be selected by the Company and shall be reasonably acceptable to a majority in
interest of the Initiating Holders. In such event, the right of any Holder to include such
Holder’s Registrable Securities in such registration shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s
participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in the
underwriting (unless otherwise mutually agreed by a majority in interest of the Initiating Holders
and such Holder) to the extent provided herein. All Holders proposing to distribute their
securities through such underwriting shall (together with the Company as provided in subsection
1.4(e)) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters
selected for such underwriting. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 1.2, if the
underwriter advises the Company or the Initiating Holders in writing that marketing factors require
a limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten, then the Company shall so advise all
Holders of Registrable Securities which would otherwise be underwritten pursuant hereto, and the
number of shares of Registrable Securities that may be included in the underwriting shall be
allocated among all participating Holders thereof, including the Initiating Holders, in proportion
(as nearly as practicable) to the amount of Registrable Securities of the Company owned by each
Holder; provided, however, that the number of shares of Registrable Securities to be included in
such underwriting shall not be reduced unless all other securities are first entirely excluded from
the underwriting.
(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company shall furnish to Holders requesting a
registration statement pursuant to this Section 1.2, a certificate signed by the Chief Executive
Officer of the Company stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the
Company, it would be seriously detrimental to the Company and its stockholders for such
registration statement to be filed and it is therefore essential to defer the filing of such
registration statement, the Company shall have the right to defer taking action with respect to
such filing for a period of not more than 90 days after receipt of the request of the Initiating
Holders; provided, however, that the Company may not utilize this right more than once in any
twelve (12) month period.
(f) In addition, the Company shall not be obligated to effect, or to take any action to
effect, any registration pursuant to this Section 1.2:
(i) After the Company has effected two (2) registrations pursuant to this Section 1.2 and such
registrations have been declared or ordered effective provided that either (A) the conditions of
Section 1.4(a) have been satisfied or (B) the
- 3 -
registration statements continue to remain effective
and there are no stop orders in effect with respect to such registration statements;
(ii) During the period starting with the date thirty (30) days prior to the Company’s good
faith estimate of the date of filing of, and ending on a date 90 days after the effective date of a
registration subject to Section 1.3 hereof (unless such registration is the Company’s initial
public offering of its securities, in which event ending on a date 180 days after such effective
date); provided that the Company is actively employing in good faith all reasonable efforts to
cause such registration statement to become effective; or
(iii) If the Initiating Holders propose to dispose of shares of Registrable Securities that
may be immediately registered on Form S-3 pursuant to a request made pursuant to Section 1.11
below.
1.3 Company Registration. If (but without any obligation to do so) the Company
proposes to register (including for this purpose a registration effected by the Company for
stockholders other than the Holders) any of its stock or other securities under the Act in
connection with the public offering of such securities solely for cash (other than (i) a
registration relating solely to the sale of securities to participants in a Company stock option
plan or stock purchase plan, (ii) a registration on any form which does not include substantially
the same information as would be required to be included in a registration statement covering the
sale of the Registrable Securities or (iii) a registration in which the only Common Stock being
registered is Common Stock issuable upon conversion of debt securities which are also being
registered or (iv) an SEC Rule 145 transaction), the Company shall, at such time, promptly give
each Holder of shares of Registrable Securities, written notice of such registration. Upon the
written request of a Holder of shares of Registrable Securities, given within twenty (20) days
after receipt of such notice by the Company in accordance with Section 4.5, the Company shall,
subject to the provisions of Section 1.8, use its best efforts to cause to be registered under the
Act all of the Registrable Securities that each such Holder has requested to be registered. If a
Holder decides not to include all of its Registrable Securities in any registration statement
thereafter filed by the Company, such Holder shall nevertheless continue to have the right to
include any Registrable Securities in any subsequent registration statement or registration
statements as may be filed by the Company with respect to offerings of its securities, all upon the
terms and conditions set forth herein. The Company shall have the right to terminate or withdraw
any registration initiated by it under this Section 1.3 whether or not any Holder has elected to
include securities in such registration, and shall promptly notify any Holder that has elected to
include shares in such registration of such termination or withdrawal. The expenses of such
withdrawn registration shall be borne by the Company in accordance with Section 1.7 hereof.
1.4 Obligations of the Company. Whenever required under this Section 1 to effect the
registration of any Registrable Securities, the Company shall, as expeditiously as reasonably
possible:
(a) Prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement with respect to such Registrable
Securities and use its best efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective, and
keep such registration statement effective for a period of up to one hundred twenty (120) days or
until the distribution contemplated in the Registration Statement
- 4 -
has been completed; provided,
however, that such one hundred twenty (120) day period shall be extended for a period of time equal
to the period the Holder refrains from selling any securities included in such registration at the
request of the Company or an underwriter of Common Stock (or other securities) of the Company.
(b) Prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such registration
statement and the prospectus used in connection with such registration statement as may be
necessary to comply with the provisions of the Act with respect to the disposition of all
securities covered by such registration statement.
(c) Furnish to the Holders such numbers of copies of a prospectus, including a preliminary
prospectus, in conformity with the requirements of the Act, and such other documents as they may
reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of Registrable Securities owned by them.
(d) Use its best efforts to register and qualify the securities covered by such registration
statement under such other securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as shall be reasonably
requested by the Holders; provided that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith
or as a condition thereto to qualify to do business or to file a general consent to service of
process in any such states or jurisdictions, unless the Company is already subject to service in
such jurisdiction and except as may be required by the Act.
(e) In the event of any underwritten public offering, enter into and perform its obligations
under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary form, with the managing underwriter of such
offering. Each Holder participating in such underwriting shall also enter into and perform its
obligations under such an agreement.
(f) Notify each Holder of Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement at any
time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Act of the happening
of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration statement, as then
in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the
light of the circumstances then existing. The Company shall promptly prepare 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 purchaser of such shares, such prospectus will
not include an untrue statement of material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make
statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
(g) Cause all such Registrable Securities registered pursuant hereunder to be listed on each
securities exchange on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed.
(h) Provide a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable Securities registered pursuant
hereunder and a CUSIP number for all such Registrable Securities, in each case not later than the
effective date of such registration.
- 5 -
(i) Furnish, at the request of any Holder requesting registration of Registrable Securities
pursuant to this Section 1, on the date that such Registrable Securities are delivered to the
underwriters for sale in connection with a registration pursuant to this Section 1, if such
securities are being sold through underwriters, or, if such securities are not being sold through
underwriters, on the date that the registration statement with respect to such securities becomes
effective, (i) an opinion, dated such date, of the counsel representing the Company for the
purposes of such registration, in form and substance as is customarily given to underwriters in an
underwritten public offering, addressed to the underwriters, if any, and to the Holders requesting
registration of Registrable Securities and (ii) a letter dated such date, from the independent
certified public accountants of the Company, 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 Holders requesting registration of Registrable
Securities;
(j) Notify each Holder promptly after the Company receives notice thereof, of the time when
such registration statement has become effective or a supplement of such registration has been
filed;
(k) Advise each Holder promptly after the Company shall receive notice or obtain knowledge
thereof, of the issuance of any stop order by the SEC suspending the effectiveness of such
registration statement or the threatening of any proceeding for such purpose and promptly use all
best efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order should such be issued; and;
(l) Make generally available to its security holders, and to deliver to the Holders an
earnings statement of the Company (that will satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Act)
covering a period of twelve (12) months beginning after the effective date of the registration
statement (as defined in Rule 158(c) under the Act) as soon as is reasonably practicable after the
termination of such twelve (12) month period.
1.5 Furnish Information. It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the
Company to take any action pursuant to this Section 1 with respect to the Registrable Securities of
any selling Holder that such Holder shall furnish to the Company such information regarding itself,
the Registrable Securities held by it, and the intended method of disposition of such securities as
shall be required to effect the registration of such Holder’s Registrable Securities.
1.6 Expenses of Demand Registration. All expenses other than underwriting discounts and commissions, including (without
limitation) all registration, filing and qualification fees, printers’ and accounting fees,
reasonable fees and expenses of one special counsel to the Holders (such special counsel to be
selected by a majority in interest of the selling Holders based on the number of shares to be sold
in such registration) and fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company shall be borne by the
Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay for any expenses of any
registration proceeding begun pursuant to Section 1.2 if the registration request is subsequently
withdrawn at the request of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities to be
registered (in which case all participating Holders shall bear such expenses), unless the Holders
of a majority of the
- 6 -
Registrable Securities agree to forfeit their right to their demand
registration pursuant to Section 1.2; provided further, however, that if at the time of such
withdrawal, the Holders have learned of a material adverse change in the condition, business, or
prospects of the Company from that known to the Holders at the time of their request and have
withdrawn the request with reasonable promptness following disclosure of such material adverse
change, then the Holders shall not be required to pay any of such expenses and shall retain their
rights pursuant to Section 1.2.
1.7 Expenses of Company Registration. The Company shall bear and pay all expenses
incurred in connection with any registration, filing or qualification of Registrable Securities
with respect to the registrations pursuant to Section 1.3 for each Holder (which right may be
assigned as provided in Section 3.1), including all registration, filing, and qualification fees,
and printers and accounting fees relating or apportionable thereto and the reasonable fees and
expenses incurred by one special counsel to such selling Holders selected by a majority in interest
of the selling Holders, but excluding underwriting discounts and commissions relating to the
Registrable Securities.
1.8 Underwriting Requirements. In connection with any offering involving an
underwriting of shares of the Company’s capital stock, the Company shall not be required under
Section 1.3 to include any of the Holders’ securities in such underwriting unless they accept the
terms of the underwriting as agreed upon between the Company and the underwriters selected by it
(or by other persons entitled to select the underwriters), and then only in such quantity, if any,
as the underwriters determine in their sole discretion will not jeopardize the success of the
offering by the Company. If the total amount of securities, including Registrable Securities,
requested by stockholders to be included in such offering exceeds the amount of securities sold
other than by the Company that the underwriters determine in their sole discretion is compatible
with the success of the offering, then in such event the Company shall be required to include in
the offering only that number of such securities, including Registrable Securities, which the
underwriters determine in their sole discretion will not jeopardize the success of the offering;
provided, however, that any such limitation by the underwriters will be apportioned as follows: (i)
all securities other than Registrable Securities will be excluded from the registration first, and
(ii) to the extent still required by the underwriters, the Registrable Securities requested to be
registered by the Holders shall be excluded from such registration subject to the following
sentences. If a limitation on the number of shares is still required, the number of shares of
Registrable Securities that may be included in the registration and underwriting shall be allocated
among all participating Holders
in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective amounts of Registrable Securities
held by such Holders at the time of filing the registration statement. For purposes of the
preceding sentence concerning apportionment, for any selling stockholder which is a Holder of
Registrable Securities and which is a partnership, limited liability company or corporation, the
affiliates, partners, retired partners, members, retired members and stockholders of such holder,
or the estates and family members of any such partners and retired partners, members and retired
members and any trusts for the benefit of any of the foregoing persons shall be deemed to be a
single “selling stockholder,” and any pro-rata reduction with respect to such “selling stockholder”
shall be based upon the aggregate amount of shares carrying registration rights owned by all
entities and individuals included in such “selling stockholder,” as defined in this sentence.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the number of Registrable Securities included in such registration
and underwriting shall not be reduced below
- 7 -
30% of the securities included in such registration
unless such offering is the initial public offering of the Company’s securities in which case the
selling Holders may be excluded entirely if the underwriters make the determination described above
and no securities other than those of the Company are included in such registration. No
Registrable Securities or other securities excluded from the underwriting by reason of this Section
1.8 shall be included in such registration statement.
1.9 Delay of Registration. No Holder shall have any right to obtain or seek an
injunction restraining or otherwise delaying any such registration as the result of any controversy
that might arise with respect to the interpretation or implementation of this Section 1.
1.10 Indemnification. In the event any Registrable Securities are included in a
registration statement under this Section 1:
(a) To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Holder,
each of such Holder’s officers, directors, partners, members and managers, any underwriter (as
defined in the Act) for such Holder and each person, if any, who controls such Holder or
underwriter within the meaning of the Act or the 1934 Act, against any losses, claims, damages, or
liabilities (joint or several) to which they may become subject under the Act, the 1934 Act or
other federal or state law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (joint or
several) (or actions, proceedings or settlements in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon
any of the following statements, omissions or violations (collectively a “Violation”): (i) any
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in such registration
statement, including any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or any
amendments or supplements thereto, (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state therein a
material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading, or (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Act, the 1934 Act,
any state securities law or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Act, the 1934 Act or any
state securities law; and the Company will reimburse each such Holder, officer, director, partner,
member, manager, underwriter or controlling person, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred
by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or
action, proceeding or settlement; provided, however, that the indemnity
agreement contained in this subsection 1.10(a) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement
of any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action or proceeding if such settlement is effected
without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed),
nor shall the Company be liable in any such case for any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or
action or proceeding to the extent that it arises out of or is based upon a Violation which occurs
in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished expressly for use in
connection with such registration, and duly executed, by any such Holder, underwriter or
controlling person.
(b) To the extent permitted by law, each selling Holder will indemnify and hold harmless the
Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who has signed the registration statement,
each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Act, any underwriter, any
other Holder selling securities in such registration statement and any controlling person of any
such underwriter or other Holder, against any losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (joint or
several) to which any of the foregoing persons may become subject, under
- 8 -
the Act, the 1934 Act or
other federal or state law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (or actions,
proceeding or settlement in respect thereto) arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in each
case to the extent (and only to the extent) that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in
conformity with written information expressly furnished, and duly executed, by such Holder for use
in connection with such registration; and each such Holder will pay any legal or other expenses
reasonably incurred by any person intended to be indemnified pursuant to this subsection 1.10(b),
in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action,
proceeding or settlement; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this
subsection 1.10(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage,
liability or action or proceeding if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Holder
(which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld); provided, that, in no event shall any indemnity
under this subsection 1.10(b) exceed the net proceeds from the offering received by such Holder.
(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 1.10 of notice of the
commencement of any action (including any governmental action), such indemnified party will, if a
claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 1.10,
deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof and the indemnifying
party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires,
jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume the defense thereof with
counsel mutually satisfactory to the parties; provided, however, that an indemnified party
(together with all other indemnified parties which may be represented without conflict by one
counsel) shall have the right to retain one separate counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid
by the indemnifying party, if representation of such indemnified party by the counsel retained by
the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests
between such indemnified party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding.
The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time after the
commencement of any such action, to the extent prejudicial to its ability to defend such action,
shall relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the indemnified party under this Section
1.10, but the omission so to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party will not relieve it
of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 1.10.
(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 1.10 is held by a court of competent
jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any loss, liability, claim,
damage, or expense referred to therein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such
indemnified party hereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified
party as a result of such loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and of the
indemnified party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such
loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense as well as any other relevant equitable considerations;
provided, that in no event shall any contribution by any Holder under this Section 1.10(d) exceed
the net proceeds of the offering received by such Holder. The relative fault of the indemnifying
party and of the indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether
the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact
relates to information supplied in writing by the indemnifying party or by the
- 9 -
indemnified party
and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information, and opportunity to correct or
prevent such statement or omission.
(e) The obligations of the Company and Holders under this Section 1.10 shall survive the
completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in a registration statement under this Section
1, and otherwise. 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 which 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.
1.11 Form S-3 Registration. In case the Company shall receive from any Holder or
Holders of the Registrable Securities then outstanding a written request or requests that the
Company effect a registration on Form S-3 and any related qualification or compliance with respect
to all or a part of the Registrable Securities owned by such Holder or Holders, the Company will:
(a) promptly give written notice of the proposed registration, and any related qualification
or compliance, to all other Holders; and
(b) use its best efforts to effect, as soon as practicable, such registration and all such
qualifications and compliances as may be so requested and as would permit or facilitate the sale
and distribution of all or such portion of such Holder’s or Holders’ Registrable Securities as are
specified in such request, together with all or such portion of the Registrable Securities of any
other Holder or Holders joining in such request as are specified in a written request given within
15 days after receipt of such written notice from the Company; provided, however, that the Company
shall not be obligated to effect any such registration, qualification or compliance, pursuant to
this Section 1.11: (1) if Form S-3 is not available for such offering by the Holders; (2) if the

inclusion in such registration, propose to sell Registrable Securities and such other securities
(if any) at an anticipated aggregate price to the public (net of any underwriters’ discounts or
commissions) of less than $1,000,000; (3) if the Company shall furnish to the Holders a certificate
signed by the Chief Executive Officer of the
Company stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company, it
would be seriously detrimental to the Company and its stockholders for such Form S-3 Registration
to be effected at such time, in which event the Company shall have the right to defer the filing of
the Form S-3 registration statement for a period of not more than sixty (60) days after receipt of
the request of the Holder or Holders under this Section 1.11; provided, however, that the Company
shall not utilize this right more than once in any twelve (12) month period; (4) if the Company

counsel for the Holders associated with Registrable Securities (such special counsel to be selected
by a majority in interest of the Holders requesting such registration) and the fees and
disbursements of counsel for the Company, but excluding any underwriters’ discounts or commissions
shall be borne by the Company. Registrations effected pursuant to this Section 1.11 shall not be
counted as demands for registration or registrations effected pursuant to Sections 1.2 or 1.3,
respectively.
(d) The Company shall not be obligated to effect any registration pursuant to this Section
1.11 if the Company delivers to the Holders requesting registration under this Section 1.11 an
opinion, in form and substance acceptable to such Holders, of counsel satisfactory to such Holders,
that the Registrable Securities so requested to be registered may be sold or transferred pursuant
to Rule 144(k) under the Act.
1.12 Limitations on Subsequent Registration Rights. From and after the date of this
Agreement, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the Holders of at least
two-thirds of the outstanding Registrable Securities, enter into any agreement with any holder or
prospective holder of any securities of the Company which would give such holder or prospective
holder any registration rights if (a) such registration rights would be pari passu with, or senior
to, any registration rights provided under this Agreement or (b) such holder would not be bound by
obligations similar to the obligations of the Holders set forth in Section 1.13.
1.13 “Market Stand-Off” Agreement. Each Holder hereby agrees that, during the period
of duration specified by the Company and an underwriter of Common Stock or other securities of the
Company, following the effective date of a registration statement of the Company filed under the
Act, it shall not, to the extent requested by the Company and such underwriter, directly or
indirectly sell, offer to

Company which covers Common Stock to be sold on its behalf to the public in a firmly underwritten
offering;

agreements; and
(c) such market stand-off time period shall not exceed one hundred eighty (180) days from the

to a registration relating solely to employee benefit plans on Form S-l or Form S-8 or similar
forms which may be promulgated in the future, or a registration relating solely to a Commission
Rule 145 transaction on Form S-4 or similar forms which may be promulgated in the future.

efforts to ensure that such partner, member, subsidiary or parent holds such information in
confidence and trust and will not use or disclose any information provided to or learned by it

2.4 Right of First Offer. Subject to the terms and conditions specified in this
Section 2.4, the Company hereby grants to each Major Holder a right of first offer with respect to
future sales by the Company of its Shares (as hereinafter defined). A Major Holder shall be
- 14 -
entitled to apportion the right of first offer hereby granted it among itself and its partners,
members and affiliates in such proportions as it deems appropriate.
Each time the Company proposes to offer any shares of, or securities convertible into or
exercisable for any shares of, any class of its capital stock (“Shares”), the Company shall first
make an offering of such Shares to each Major Holder in accordance with the following provisions:
(a) The Company shall deliver a notice by certified mail (“Notice”) to each Major Holder
stating (i) its bona fide intention to offer such Shares and the identity of the proposed offerees,
(ii) the number of such Shares to be offered and (iii) the price and terms, if any, upon which it
proposes to offer such Shares.
(b) Within fifteen (15) calendar days after delivery of the Notice, the Major Holder may elect
to purchase or obtain, at the price and on the terms specified in the Notice, up to that portion of
such Shares which equals the proportion that the number of shares of Common Stock issued and held,
or issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock then held, by such Major Holder bears to the
total number of shares of Common Stock of the Company then outstanding (assuming full conversion
and exercise of all convertible and exercisable securities outstanding as of the date of the
Notice) (“Pro-Rata Portion”). The Company shall promptly, in writing, inform each Major Holder
which purchases its Pro-Rata Portion (“Fully-Exercising Major Holder”) of any other Major Holder’s
failure to do likewise. During the ten-
day period commencing after such information is delivered to all fully-exercising Major
Holders, each Fully-Exercising Major Holder shall be entitled to obtain that portion of the Shares
not subscribed for by the Major Holders which is equal to the proportion that the number of shares
of Common Stock issued and held, or issuable upon conversion of Preferred Stock then held, by such
Fully-Exercising Major Holder bears to the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and held,
or issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock then held, by all Fully-Exercising Major Holders
who wish to purchase some of the unsubscribed Shares. This step shall be repeated until all
unsubscribed shares have been allocated or until the Fully-Exercising Investors no longer desire to
receive an allocation of the unsubscribed Shares.
(c) If all Shares which Major Holders are entitled to obtain pursuant to subsection 2.4(b) are
not elected to be obtained as provided in subsection 2.4(b) hereof, the Company may, during the
sixty (60)-day period following the expiration of the period provided in subsection 2.4(b) hereof,
consummate the sale of the remaining unsubscribed portion of such Shares to the person or persons
listed in the Notice upon terms specified in the Notice. If the Company does not consummate such
sale within such sixty (60)-day period, the right provided hereunder shall be deemed to be revived
and such Shares shall not be offered unless first reoffered to the Major Holders in accordance
herewith.
(d) The right of first offer in this Section 2.4 shall not be applicable to (i) the issuance
or sale of shares of Common Stock (or options therefor) to officers, directors or employees of, or
consultants to, the Company or a subsidiary under a stock option or other equity incentive plan or
agreement approved by and in a manner determined by the Board of Directors (including stock grants
to officers, directors, employees or consultants); (ii) the issuance of securities pursuant to the
acquisition of another corporation or entity by the Company by way of
- 15 -
merger, purchase of all or
substantially all of the assets of the other corporation or stock for stock exchange approved by
the Board of Directors; (iii) the issuance of securities, not primarily for equity financing
purposes, to academic research institutions, financial institutions, strategic partners or lessors
in connection with commercial credit arrangements, equipment financings, debt financings, strategic
partnerships, research and development partnerships, licensing or collaborative arrangements, joint
marketing agreements or similar transactions approved by the Board of Directors; (iv) shares issued
upon conversion of the Preferred Stock; (v) the issuance of securities pursuant to outstanding as
of the date hereof options, warrants, notes or other rights to acquire securities of the Company;
(vi) securities issued in connection with stock splits, stock dividends or like transactions for
which an adjustment to the respective conversion prices of the Preferred Stock is made pursuant to
the Company’s then current Certificate of Incorporation; or (vii) upon the closing of a public
offering of the Company’ securities pursuant to the Act in which all shares of Preferred Stock are
automatically converted to Common Stock pursuant to the Company’s then current Certificate of
Incorporation.
(e) The right of first offer set forth in this Section 2.4 may not be assigned or transferred,
except that (i) such right is assignable by each Major Holder to any wholly owned subsidiary or
parent of, or to any corporation or entity that is, within the meaning of the Act, controlling,
controlled by or under common control with, any such Major Holder, (ii) any partner or retired
partner of any such Major Holder which is a partnership or any member or retired member of any
Major Holder which is a limited liability company, and (iii) such right is assignable between and
among any of the Major Holders.
(f) The right of first offer granted under this Section 2.4 shall terminate and be of no
further force and effect upon the effective date of the Company’s registration statement filed in
connection with the IPO and shall not be applicable to any shares sold pursuant thereto.
2.5 Vesting of Stock. Unless determined otherwise by the Board of Directors or a
disinterested/independent committee thereof, all shares of the Company’s Common Stock, or options
to purchase such Common Stock, issued after the date of this Agreement to employees, officers,
directors, consultants and other service providers of the Company shall vest according to the
following schedule: Twenty-five percent (25%) of the shares shall vest upon the completion of one
(1) year of service and the remaining seventy-five percent (75%) of the shares shall vest in
thirty-six (36) equal monthly installments thereafter.
2.6 Qualified Small Business. The Company covenants that so long as any of Preferred
Stock or the Common Stock into which such shares are converted, are held by an Investor (in whose
hands such shares of Common Stock are eligible to qualify as “qualified small business stock” as
defined in Section 1202(c) of the of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”)
(“Qualified Small Business Stock”), it will (i) comply with any applicable filing or reporting
requirements imposed by the Code on issuers of Qualified Small Business Stock and (ii) execute and
deliver to each Investor, from time to time, such forms, documents, schedules and other instruments
as may be reasonably requested thereby to cause the Preferred Stock, or the Common Stock into which
such shares are converted, to qualify as Qualified Small Business Stock and in connection
therewith, execute and deliver to the Investors, from time to time, such forms, documents,
schedules and other instruments as may be
- 16 -
reasonably requested by an Investor to cause such shares
of capital stock to qualify as Qualified Small Business Stock.
2.7 Indebtedness. The Company will not, without the approval of the Board of
Directors, incur any indebtedness in excess of $100,000 in a single transaction or a series of
related transactions.
2.8 Board Committee Rights, Observer Rights. For so long as BAVP VII, L.P. and/or its

of the Board of Directors and its committees in a nonvoting capacity. BAVP shall maintain its

not the BAVP Designee is a member of the Board of Directors. The Company shall provide the
Observer with copies of all notes, minutes, consents or other materials that are provided by the
Company to its directors; provided, however, that the Company reserves the right to exclude any
Observer from access to any material or meeting or portion thereof if the Company believes upon
advice of counsel that such exclusion is reasonably necessary to preserve the attorney-client
privilege, to protect highly confidential proprietary information or for other similar reasons;
provided, further, that each of BAVP’s and Xxxxxxxxxxxx’x right to appoint an Observer to the Board
of Directors shall automatically expire upon the effectiveness of the registration statement for
the IPO. The Observer shall receive no compensation from the Company for services as an Observer
and shall not be reimbursed for any expenses incurred by the Observer in connection with attendance
of any meeting of the Board of Directors.
2.9 Board of Directors Meetings. The Board shall meet not less frequently than
quarterly until otherwise agreed by Investors holding at least a majority of the then outstanding

of its officers, directors, employees or consultants elect to sell shares of Common Stock covered
by a right of first refusal and the Company elects not to or is unable to exercise its right of

result of the rejection, or partial rejection, of the offer by other Investors, which securities
shall be allocated on a pro rata basis among those Purchasing Investors subscribing to purchase
them based on their relative ownership of Preferred Stock prior to the proposed Transfer.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Transferor shall be under no obligation

affiliate of such Investor (if such Investor is an entity), provided such transferee agrees in
writing with the Company and the Investors, prior to and as a condition precedent to such Transfer,
