All Holders proposing to distribute their Registrable Securities through such underwriting shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the managing underwriter or underwriters selected by the Company for such underwriting. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the managing underwriter(s) determine(s) in good faith that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten, then the managing underwriter(s) may exclude shares from the registration and the underwriting, and the number of shares that may be included in the registration and the underwriting shall be allocated, first to the Company, and second, to each of the Holders requesting inclusion of their Registrable Securities in such registration statement on a pro rata basis based on the total number of Registrable Securities then held by each such Holder; provided, however, that the right of the underwriter(s) to exclude shares (including Registrable Securities) from the registration and underwriting as described above shall be restricted so that (i) the number of Registrable Securities included in any such registration is not reduced below thirty percent (30%) of the aggregate number of Registrable Securities for which inclusion has been requested, even if this will cause the Company to reduce the number of shares it wishes to offer; and (ii) all shares that are not Registrable Securities and are held by any other person, including, without limitation, any person who is an employee, officer or director of the Company (or any Subsidiary of the Company) shall first be excluded from such registration and underwriting before any Registrable Securities are so excluded.

Any Registrable Securities excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting shall be excluded and withdrawn from the registration.

Except as otherwise provided herein, there shall be no limit on the number of times the Holders may request registration of Registrable Securities under this Section 3.4.

3.5. Form F-3 or S-3 Registration. After its IPO, the Company shall use its best efforts to qualify for registration on Form F-3 or S-3 or any comparable or successor form as early as possible and use best efforts to maintain such qualification thereafter. If the Company is qualified to use Form F-3 or S-3, any Holder or Holders shall have the right to request at any time from time to time (such request shall be in writing) that the Company effect a registration on Form F-3 or 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, and upon receipt of each such request, the Company shall:

(a) Notice. Promptly give written notice of the proposed registration and the Holder’s or Holders’ request therefor, and any related qualification or compliance, to all other Holders of Registrable Securities; and

(b) Registration. As soon as practicable, effect 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 Holders 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 twenty (20) days after the Company provides the notice contemplated by Section 3.5(a); provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to effect any such registration, qualification or compliance pursuant to this Section 3.5:

(i) if Form F-3 or S-3 becomes unavailable for such offering by the Holders:

(iii) if the Company has, within the six (6) month period preceding the date of such request, already effected a registration under the Securities Act other than a registration from which the Registrable Securities of Holders have been excluded (with respect to all or any portion of the Registrable Securities the Holders requested be included in such registration); or

(iv) in any particular jurisdiction in which the Company would be required to qualify to do business or to execute a general consent to service of process in effecting such registration, qualification or compliance.

(c) Expenses. The Company shall pay all expenses (excluding only the pro rata portion of underwriters’ or brokers’ discounts and commissions relating to shares sold by the Holders) incurred in connection with each registration requested pursuant to this Section 3.5, including without limitation all U.S. federal, “blue sky” and all applicable registration, filing and qualification fees, printers’ and accounting fees, and reasonable fees and expenses (including disbursements) of outside counsels for the Holders.

(e) Deferral. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company shall furnish to Holders requesting the filing of a registration statement pursuant to this Section 3.5, a certificate signed by the President or CEO of the Company stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board, it would be materially detrimental to the Company and its shareholders for such Form F-3 or S-3 registration statement to be filed, then the Company shall have the right to defer such filing for a period of not more than ninety (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; provided further that during such ninety (90) day period, the Company shall not file any registration statement pertaining to the public offering of any securities of the Company.

(f) Not Demand Registration. Form F-3 or S-3 registrations shall not be deemed to be demand registrations as described in Section 3.3 above.

(g) Underwriting. If the requested registration under this Section 3 is for an underwritten offering, the provisions of Section 3.3(b) shall apply.

If the Company fails to perform any of the Company’s obligations set forth above in this Section 3.5 relating to a demand registration made pursuant to Section 3.3, such registration shall not constitute the use of a demand registration under Section3.3.

3.6. Obligations of the Company. Whenever required to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities under this Agreement the Company shall, as expeditiously as reasonably possible:

(a) Registration Statement. 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 any such registration statement effective for a period of one hundred twenty (120) days or until the Holder or Holders have completed the distribution described in the registration statement relating thereto, whichever occurs first.

(b) Amendments and Supplements. 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 Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement.

(c) Prospectuses. Furnish to the Holders such number of copies of a prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents as they may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by them that are included in such registration.

(d) Blue Sky. 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.

(e) Underwriting. 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(s) of such offering. Each Holder participating in such underwriting shall also enter into and perform its obligations under such an agreement.

(f) Deposit Agreement. If the registration relates to an offering of depositary shares or other securities representing Common Shares deposited pursuant to a deposit agreement or similar facility, cause the depositary under such agreement or facility to accept for deposit under such agreement or facility all Registrable Securities requested by each Holder to be included in such registration in accordance with this Section 3.

(g) Notification. 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 Securities 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.

(h) Opinion and Comfort Letter. Furnish, at the request of any Holder requesting registration of Registrable Securities, on the date that such Registrable Securities are delivered to the underwriter(s) for sale, 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 as of 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 and reasonably satisfactory to a majority in interest of the Holders requesting registration, addressed to the underwriters, if any, and to the Holders requesting registration of Registrable Securities and (ii) a “comfort” letter dated as of 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 and reasonably satisfactory to a majority in interest of the Holders requesting registration, addressed to the underwriters, if any, and to the Holders requesting registration of Registrable Securities.

3.7. Furnish Information. It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to take any action pursuant to Sections 3.3, 3.4 or 3.5 that the selling Holders shall furnish to the Company such information regarding themselves, the Registrable Securities held by them and the intended method of disposition of such securities as shall be reasonably necessary or advisable to timely effect the Registration or other qualification of their Registrable Securities.

3.8. Indemnification. In the event any Registrable Securities are included in a registration statement under Sections 3.3, 3.4 or 3.5:

(a) By the Company. To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, its partners, members, officers, directors, legal counsel, any underwriter (as determined in the Securities Act) for such Holder and each person, if any, who controls such Holder or underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act against any losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (joint or several) to which they may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other applicable law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (or actions 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 of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any federal or state securities law or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other applicable securities law in connection with the offering covered by such registration statement;

and the Company will reimburse each such Holder, its partner, member, officer, director, legal counsel, underwriter or controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them, as incurred, in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this subsection 3.8(a) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), nor shall the Company be liable in any such case for any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action 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 by such Holder, underwriter or controlling person of such Holder.

(b) By Selling Holders. 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 have signed the registration statement, each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, any underwriter and any other Holder selling securities under such registration statement or any of such other Holder’s partners, members, directors, officers, legal counsel or any person who controls such Holder within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (joint or several) to which the Company or any such director, officer, legal counsel, controlling person, underwriter or other such Holder, partner, member or director, officer or controlling person of such other Holder may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other applicable law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions 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 furnished by such Holder expressly for use in connection with such registration; and each such Holder will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company or any such director, officer, controlling person, underwriter or other Holder, partner, member, officer, director or controlling person of such other Holder in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action: provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this subsection 3.8(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the indemnifying Holder, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; and provided further that the total amounts payable in indemnity by a Holder under this Section 3.8(b) plus any amount under Section 3.8(e) in respect of any Violation shall not exceed the net proceeds received by such Holder in the registered offering out of which such Violation arises.

(c) Notice. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 3.8 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 3.8, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof (a “Claim Notice”) 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 shall have the right to retain its own counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, (i) during the period from the delivery of a Claim Notice until retention of counsel by the indemnifying party; and (ii) if representation of such indemnified party by the counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential conflict of 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 of the commencement of any such action shall relieve such indemnifying party of liability to the indemnified party under this Section 3.8 to the extent the indemnifying party is prejudiced as a result thereof, but the omission so to deliver written notice to the indemnified party will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 3.8.

(d) Defect Eliminated in Final Prospectus. The foregoing indemnity agreements of the Company and Holders are subject to the condition that, insofar as they relate to any Violation made in a preliminary prospectus but eliminated or remedied in the amended prospectus on file with the SEC at the time the registration statement in question becomes effective or the amended prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to SEC Rule 424(b) (the “Final Prospectus”), such indemnity agreement shall not inure to the benefit of any person if a copy of the Final Prospectus was timely furnished to the indemnified party and was not furnished to the person asserting the loss, liability, claim or damage at or prior to the time such action is required by the Securities Act.

(e) Contribution. 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 exercising rights under this Agreement, or any controlling person of any such Holder, makes a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Section 3.8 but it is judicially determined (by the entry of a final judgment or decree by a court of competent jurisdiction and the expiration of time to appeal or the denial of the last right of appeal) that such indemnification may not be enforced in such case notwithstanding the fact that this Section 3.8 provides for indemnification in such case, or (ii) contribution under the Securities Act may be required on the part of any such selling Holder or any such controlling person in circumstances for which indemnification is provided under this Section 3.8; then, and in each such case, the Company and such Holder will contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which they may be subject (after contribution from others) in such proportion so that such Holder is responsible for the portion represented by the percentage that the public offering price of its Registrable Securities offered by and sold under the registration statement bears to the public offering price of all securities offered by and sold under such registration statement, and the Company and other selling Holders are responsible for the remaining portion; provided, however, that, in any such case: (A) no such Holder will be required to contribute any amount in excess of the public offering price of all such Registrable Securities offered and sold by such Holder pursuant to such registration statement; and (B) no person or entity guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) will be entitled to contribution from any person or entity who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

(f) Survival. The obligations of the Company and Holders under this Section 3.8 shall survive until the fifth (5th) anniversary of the completion of the corresponding offering of Registrable Securities in a registration statement, regardless of the expiration of any statutes of limitation or extensions of such statutes.

3.9. Rule 144 Reporting. With a view to making available to the Holders the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the SEC which may permit the sale of the Registrable Securities to the public without registration, the Company agrees to use its best efforts to:

(a) Make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144 or any similar or analogous rule promulgated under the Securities Act, at all times after the effective date of the first registration filed by the Company for an offering of its securities to the general public;

(b) File with the SEC, in a timely manner, all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, at all times after the effective date of the first registration under the Securities Act filed by the Company;

(c) So long as a Holder owns any Registrable Securities, furnish to such Holder forthwith upon request, (i) a written statement by the Company as to its compliance with the reporting requirements of said Rule 144 of the Securities Act, and of the Exchange Act (at any time after it has become subject to such reporting requirements, (ii) a copy of the most recent annual, interim, quarterly or other report of the Company and, (iii) such other reports and documents as a Holder may reasonably request availing itself of any rule or regulation of the SEC allowing it to sell any such securities without registration.

3.10. Termination of the Company’s Obligations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall have no obligations pursuant to Sections 3.3, 3.4 or 3.5 with respect to any Registrable Securities proposed to be sold by a Holder in a registered public offering (i) five (5) years after the consummation of a Qualified IPO, or (ii), if, in the opinion of counsel to the Company, all such Registrable Securities proposed to be sold by a Holder may then be sold under Rule 144 in one transaction without exceeding the volume limitations thereunder.

3.11. No Registration Rights to Third Parties. Without the prior written consent of the Holders of not less than a majority of the Registrable Securities then outstanding, the Company covenants and agrees that it shall not grant, or cause or permit to be created, for the benefit of any person or entity any registration rights of any kind (whether similar to the demand, “piggyback” or Form F-3 or S-3 registration rights described in this Section 3, or otherwise) relating to any shares or other securities of the Company, other than rights that are subordinate to the rights of the Holders hereunder.

3.12. “Market Stand-Off” Agreement. Each Holder hereby agrees that, if and to the extent requested by the lead underwriter of securities of the Company in connection with a registration relating to a specific proposed public offering (other than a registration on Form S-8 or a related or successor form relating solely to an employee benefit plan or a registration on Form F-4 or a related or successor form relating solely to a transaction under SEC Rule 145), such Holder will, subject to the following conditions, enter into a lock-up or standoff agreement in customary form (subject to the following conditions) under which such Holder agrees not to sell or otherwise transfer or dispose of any Registrable Securities or other shares of the Company owned by such Holder as of the date of such registration seven days prior to, and for up to one hundred eighty (180) days following the effective date of the related registration statement. The obligations of each Holder under this Section 3.12 are subject to the following conditions: (i) the lockup or standoff agreement applies only to the first registration statement of the Company which covers securities to be sold on its behalf to the public in an underwritten offering, but not to Registrable Securities actually sold pursuant to such registration statement; (ii) such Holder is reasonably satisfied that all directors, officers, and holders of 1% or more of any class of securities of the Company are bound by substantially identical restrictions; (iii) the lockup or standoff agreement provides that if any securities of the Company are to be excluded or released in whole or part from such restrictions, the underwriter shall promptly so notify each Holder and each Holder shall be excluded or released, in proportionate amounts to the extent of the exclusion or release, prior to any other holder of Company’s securities, including director, officer, or holder of 1% or more of any class of securities of the Company subject to such restrictions; and (iv) the lockup or standoff agreement by its terms permits transfers of Registrable Securities by any Holder to any Affiliate of such Holder during the restricted period, provided that such Affiliate executes a lock-up or standoff agreement substantively identical to that signed by the transferring Holder. The Company may impose a stop-transfer instruction with respect to Registrable Securities subject to any such lockup or standoff agreement but shall remove such instruction immediately upon expiration of the underlying restrictions.

3.13. Founders’ Lockup. Notwithstanding any contrary provision in the Transaction Agreements, following the IPO, including a Qualified IPO, the Founders shall be subject to any customary lockup period that will be required by the underwriters and the applicable regulatory bodies.

3.14. Public Offering Rights (Non-U.S. Offerings): If shares of the Company are offered in an underwritten public offering (whether or not a Qualified IPO) outside the United States for the account of any Founder or other Shareholders, each holder of Preference Shares or Convertible Notes shall have the right to include a pro-rata number of shares (based on the number of shares (on an as converted basis) then held by such holder and all other shareholders of the Company selling in the offering) in the offering on terms and conditions no less favorable to the holders of Preference Shares or Convertible Notes than to any other selling shareholder.

4. RIGHT OF PARTICIPATION.

4.1. General. Each of Major Investors and any person to which rights under this Section 4 have been duly assigned in accordance with Section 5.1 (each such Major Investor and each of their respective assignees being hereinafter referred to as a “Participation Rights Holder”) shall have the right of first refusal to purchase such Participation Rights Holder’s Pro Rata Share (as defined below), of all (or any part) of any New Securities (as defined in Section 4.3) that the Company may from time to time issue after the date of this Agreement (the “Right of Participation”).

4.2. Pro Rata Share. A Participation Rights Holder’s “Pro Rata Share” for purposes of the Right of Participation is the ratio of (a) the number of Ordinary Shares, assuming full conversion of the Preference Shares and Convertible Notes and full exercise of any options, warrants, rights or other convertible securities, held by such Participation Rights Holder immediately prior to the issuance of New Securities to (b) the total number of Ordinary Shares then outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of New Securities giving rise to the Right of Participation, assuming full conversion of the Preference Shares and Convertible Notes and exercise of all other outstanding convertible securities, rights, options and warrants to acquire Ordinary Shares; provided that prior to the completion of an IPO, the Note Holders shall be deemed to collectively have a “Pro Rata Share” of 8% (assuming full conversion of the Preference Shares and the Convertible Notes) and each Note Holder’s Pro Rata Share shall equal 8% multiplied by the ratio of (x) the aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Notes it holds immediately prior to the issuance of New Securities to (y) the aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Notes outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of New Securities.

4.3. New Securities. “New Securities” shall mean any Equity Securities of the Company, including the Preference Shares, Ordinary Shares or other voting shares of the Company, whether now authorized or not, and rights, options or warrants to purchase any Preference Shares, Ordinary Shares and securities of any type whatsoever that are, or may become, convertible or exchangeable into such Preference Shares, Ordinary Share or other voting shares, issued after the date of this Agreement, provided, however, that the term “New Securities” shall not include:

(a) any Ordinary Shares (and/or options or warrants therefore) which may be issued to employees, officers, directors, contractors, advisors or consultants of the Company pursuant to the Employee Incentive Plan adopted by the Company;

(b) any Conversion Shares, Series A Preference Shares or Series B Preference Shares issued under and in accordance with the Series A Agreement, the Series B Agreement, the Series A Warrant Agreement, the Series B Warrant Agreement or the Convertible Note Purchase Agreement, as such agreement may be amended;

(c) any securities issued in connection with any share split, share dividend or other similar event of the Company which shall have been approved in accordance with Section 6 below;

(d) any securities issued upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of any outstanding securities if such outstanding security constituted a New Security, provided that the initial issuance of such New Security shall have complied with the terms of this Section 4 and have been approved in accordance with Section 6 below;

(e) any securities issued pursuant to the acquisition of another corporation or entity by the Company (in a bona-fide non-financing transaction) by consolidation, merger, purchase of assets, or other reorganization in which the Company acquires, in a single transaction or series of related transactions, a majority of the assets, voting power, or equity ownership of such other corporation or entity which shall have been approved in accordance with Section 6 below;

(f) any securities offered in an IPO;

(g) any Ordinary Shares issued as part of any debt financing with any financial institution which shall have been approved in accordance with Section 6 below; or

(h) convertible notes issued to Additional Investors in accordance with Section 3.2 of the Convertible Note Purchase Agreement.

4.4. Procedures.

(a) First Participation Notice. In the event that the Company proposes to undertake an issuance of New Securities (in a single transaction or a series of related transactions), it shall give to each Participation Rights Holder written notice of its intention to issue New Securities (the “First Participation Notice”), describing the amount and the type of New Securities and the price and the terms upon which the Company proposes to issue such New Securities. Each Participation Rights Holder shall have thirty (30) days from the date of receipt of any such First Participation Notice to agree in writing to purchase up to all of such Participation Rights Holder’s Pro Rata Share of such New Securities for the price and upon the terms and conditions specified in the First Participation Notice by giving written notice to the Company and stating therein the quantity of New Securities to be purchased (not to exceed such Participation Rights Holder’s Pro Rata Share). If any Participation Rights Holder fails to so agree in writing within such thirty (30) day period to purchase such Participation Rights Holder’s full Pro Rata Share of an offering of New Securities, then such Participation Rights Holder shall forfeit the right hereunder to purchase that part of its Pro Rata Share of such New Securities that it did not so agree to purchase.

(b) Second Participation Notice; Oversubscription. If any Participating Rights Holder fails to exercise its Right of Participation in accordance with subsection (a) above, the Company shall promptly give notice (the “Second Participation Notice”) to other Participating Rights Holders who have exercised their Right of Participation (the “Right Participants”) in accordance with subsection (a) above. The Right Participants shall have ten (10) days from the date of receipt of the Second Participation Notice (the “Second Participation Period”) to notify the Company of its desire to purchase more than its Pro Rata Share of the New Securities, stating the number of the additional New Securities it proposes to buy. Such notice may be made by telephone if confirmed in writing within two (2) Business Days thereafter. If as a result thereof, such oversubscription exceeds the total number of the remaining New Securities available for purchase, the number of the additional New Securities requested by the oversubscribing Right Participants will be adjusted by the Company with respect to their oversubscriptions to that number of remaining New Securities to be (without exceeding the number proposed by such oversubscribing Rights Participant) not less than the product obtained by multiplying (i) the number of the remaining New Securities available for subscription by (ii) a fraction the numerator of which is the Pro Rata Share of each oversubscribing Right Participant notified and the denominator of which is the sum of the Pro Rata Shares of all the oversubscribing Right Participants. Each oversubscribing Right Participant shall be obligated to buy such number of additional New Securities as determined by the Company pursuant to this subsection (b) and the Company shall so notify the Right Participants within fifteen (15) Business Days of the date of the Second Participation Notice.

4.5. Failure to Exercise. Upon the expiration of the Second Participation Period, or in the event no Participation Rights Holder exercises the Right of Participation, after thirty (30) days following the delivery of the First Participation Notice, the Company shall have 90 days thereafter to sell the remaining New Securities described in the First Participation Notice (with respect to which the Participation Rights Holders’ rights of first refusal hereunder were not exercised) at the same or higher price and upon non-price terms not more favorable to the purchasers thereof than specified in the First Participation Notice. In the event that the Company has not issued and sold such New Securities within such 90 day period, then the Company shall not thereafter issue or sell any New Securities without again first offering such New Securities to the Participation Rights Holders pursuant to this Section 4.

4.6. Termination. The Right of Participation for Participation Rights Holders under this Section 4 shall terminate upon completion of a Qualified IPO or a Liquidation Event.

4.7. Waiver. Each Founder, Series A Holder and Series B Holder hereby confirms waiver of any participation right, pre-emptive right and put rights it may have under the Series A Investors’ Rights Agreement, the Series A Agreement (including without any limitation the Addendum to the Series A Agreement dated November 16, 2005), the Series B Agreement, the Series B Warrant Agreement, or under any other agreements or arrangements with respect to the sale and issuance of the Convertible Notes by the Company to the Note Holders pursuant to the Convertible Note Purchase Agreement. This waiver shall be effective from the date of this Agreement notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement.

5. ASSIGNMENT. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary:

5.1. Information Rights. The rights of each Investor under Sections 2 are transferable prior to a Qualified IPO to any person acquiring Investment Securities; provided, however, that Company is given written notice at the time of such assignment stating the name and address of the assignee and identifying the securities of the Company as to which the rights in question are being assigned; and provided further that any such assignee shall receive such assigned rights subject to all the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including without limitation the provisions of this Section 5, and agree to abide by this Agreement by executing a Joinder Agreement.
