(b) Underwriting. In the event that a registration pursuant to Section 2.1 is for a registered public offering involving an underwriting requested by the Initiating Holders, the Company shall so advise the Holders as part of the notice given pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(i). In such event, the right of any Holder to registration pursuant to this Section 2.1 shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in the underwriting arrangements required by this Section 2.1, and the inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent requested shall be limited to the extent provided herein.
The Company shall (together with all Holders proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the managing underwriter of recognized national standing selected for such underwriting by the Company and reasonably acceptable to the Holders holding a majority of the Registrable Securities proposed to be distributed by the Holders through such underwriting. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.1, if the managing underwriter or underwriters advises 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 that were proposed to be in the registration and notwithstanding anything in Section 2.2 to the contrary, the number of shares of Registrable Securities that may be included in the registration and underwriting shall be allocated among all Holders thereof in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective amounts of Registrable Securities requested to be included by such Holders at the time of filing the registration statement; provided, that all Registrable Securities under this Section 2.1 shall be included in such registration before any other shares are included pursuant to Section 2.2 or otherwise. No Registrable Securities excluded from the underwriting by reason of the underwriter’s marketing limitation shall be included in such registration. To facilitate the allocation of shares in accordance with the above provisions, the Company or the underwriters may round the number of shares allocated to any Holder to the nearest 100 shares.
If any Holder of Registrable Securities disapproves of the terms of the underwriting, such Holder may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company, the managing underwriter and the Initiating Holders. The Registrable Securities and/or other securities so withdrawn shall also be withdrawn from registration, and such Registrable Securities shall not be transferred in a public distribution prior to 90 days after the effective date of such registration, or such other shorter period of time as the underwriters may require.

(a) Notice of Registration. If at any time or from time to time the Company shall determine to register any of its securities (excluding a registration initiated pursuant to Section 2.1, which will be governed by the terms and conditions of Section 2.1), either for its own account or the account of a security holder or holders, other than (i) a registration relating solely to employee benefit plans or (ii) a registration relating solely to a Commission Rule 145 transaction, the Company shall:
(i) promptly give to each Holder written notice thereof; and
(ii) include in such registration (and any related qualification under blue sky laws or other compliance), and in any underwriting involved therein, all the Registrable Securities specified in a written request or requests, made within 20 days after receipt of such written notice from the Company, by any Holder or Founder, but only to the extent that such inclusion will not diminish the number of securities included by the Company or by the holders of the Company’s securities who have demanded such registration.
(b) Underwriting. If the registration of which the Company gives notice is for a registered public offering involving an underwriting, the Company shall so advise the Holders as a part of the written notice given pursuant to Section 2.2(a)(i). In such event the right of any Holder to registration pursuant to this Section 2.2 shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided herein. All Holders proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting shall (together with the Company) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the managing underwriter selected for such underwriting by the Company and reasonably acceptable to the Holders holding a majority of the Registrable Securities proposed to be distributed by the Holders through such underwriting. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.2, if the managing underwriter determines that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten, the managing underwriter may, without requiring any limitation in the number of shares to be registered on behalf of the Company (A) in the case of the Company’s initial registered public offering (if such offering is not made pursuant to Section 2.1), exclude from such registration and underwriting some or all Registrable Securities or (B) in the case of a registered public offering subsequent to the Company’s initial public offering, limit the number of shares of Registrable Securities to be included in such registration and underwriting to not less than twenty-five percent (25%) of the securities included in such registration (based on aggregate market values). The Company shall so advise all Holders distributing their securities through such underwriting of such limitation and the number of shares of securities that may be included in the registration and underwriting shall be allocated (i) first, to the Company, (ii) second, among all Holders, other than the Founders and the Section 2.6(a) Parties, in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective amounts of Registrable Securities requested to be included by such Holders at the time of filing the registration statement, (iii) third, to the Founders and the Section 2.6(a) Parties 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, and (iv) fourth, among Other Stockholders in proportion to the number of shares proposed to be included in such registration by such Other Stockholders.

To facilitate the allocation of shares in accordance with the above provisions, the Company may round the number of shares allocated to any Holder to the nearest 100 shares.
(c) If any Holder disapproves of the terms of any such underwriting, such Holder may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company and the managing underwriter. Any Registrable Securities and/or securities excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting shall be withdrawn from such registration, and shall not be transferred in a public distribution prior to 90 days (180 days in the case of the Company’s initial registered public offering or such other period as may be requested by the Company or an underwriter to accommodate regulatory restrictions on (i) the publication or other distribution of research reports and (ii) analyst recommendations and opinions, including, but not limited to, the restrictions contained in FINRA Rule 2711(f)(4) or NYSE Rule 472(f)(4), or any successor provisions or amendments thereto) after the effective date of the registration statement relating thereto, or such other shorter period of time as the underwriters may require.
(d) Right to Terminate Registration. The Company shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under this Section 2.2 prior to the effectiveness of such registration whether or not any Holder has elected to include securities in such registration. The Registration Expenses of such withdrawn registration shall be borne by the Company in accordance with Section 2.4 hereof.
(e) Not Demand Registration. No registration pursuant to this Section 2.2 shall be deemed to be a demand registration under Section 2.1 hereof.

(a) If a Holder or Holders request that the Company file a registration statement on Form S-3 (or any successor form to Form S-3), or any similar short form registration statement, for a public offering of Registrable Securities, the reasonably anticipated aggregate price to the public of which, net of underwriting discounts and commissions, would exceed $1,000,000 and the Company is a registrant entitled to use Form S-3 to register the Registrable Securities for such an offering, the Company shall, (i) promptly give to each Holder written notice of such registration, (ii) include in such registration, and in any underwriting involved therein, all the Registrable Securities specified in a written request or requests made within 20 days after receipt of such written notice from the Company by any Holder, and (iii) use its best efforts to cause such Registrable Securities to be registered on such form for the offering, and to cause such Registrable Securities to be qualified in such jurisdictions, as the Holder or Holders may reasonably request; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to effect more than two (2) such registrations in any twelve (12) month period. After the Company’s first public offering of its securities, the Company will use its best efforts to qualify for Form S-3 registration or a similar short-form registration. The provisions of Section 2.1(b) shall be applicable to each registration initiated under this Section 2.3.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be obligated to take any action pursuant to this Section 2.3, (i) in any particular jurisdiction in which the Company would be required to execute a general consent to service of process in effecting such registration, qualification or compliance unless the Company is already subject to service in such jurisdiction and except as may be required by the Securities Act; (ii) if the Company, within thirty (30) days of the receipt of the request of the Holders pursuant to Section 2.3(a), gives notice of its bona fide intention to effect the filing of a registration statement with the Commission within sixty (60) days of receipt of such request (other than with respect to a registration statement relating to a Rule 145 transaction, or an offering solely to employees), during the period starting with the date sixty (60) days prior to the Company’s estimated date of filing of, and ending on the date six (6) months immediately following (90 days immediately following such effective date in the case of a registration statement other than for the Company’s initial public offering), the effective date of such registration statement pertaining to securities of the Company (other than a registration of securities in a Rule 145 transaction or with respect to an employee benefit plan); provided that, in the case of such period prior to the effectiveness of such registration statement, the Company is actively employing in good faith all reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective and provided that the Company’s Board of Directors determines that such delay is in the best interest of the Company; (iii) if the Company shall furnish to such Holder a certificate signed by the President of the Company stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors it would be seriously detrimental to the Company or its shareholders for registration statements to be filed in the near future, then the Company’s obligation to use its best efforts to file a registration statement shall be deferred for a period not to exceed ninety (90) days from the receipt of the request to file such registration by such Holder; or (iv) if the Company has already effected four (4) registrations pursuant to this Section 2.3.

The Company agrees that it may not make use of its rights to defer its obligations to file a registration statement pursuant to Sections 2.1(a)(ii)(3) and 2.3(b)(ii) more than once in any 12-month period and may not make use of its rights to defer its obligations to file a registration statement pursuant to Sections 2.1(a)(ii)(5) and 2.3(b)(iii) for more than an aggregate deferral period of 90 days in any 12-month period.
(c) Not Demand Registration. Registration pursuant to this Section 2.3 shall not be deemed to be a demand registration under Section 2.1 hereof. Except as otherwise provided herein, there shall be no limit to the number of times Holders may request registration of Registrable Securities under this Section 2.3.
2.4 Expenses of Registration. All Registration Expenses incurred in connection with registrations pursuant to Sections 2.1, 2.2 and 2.3 shall be borne by the Company. All Selling Expenses relating to securities registered on behalf of the Holders shall be borne by the holders of securities included in such registration pro rata with the Company and among each other on the basis of the number of shares so registered. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if a registration proceeding begun pursuant to Section 2.1 or 2.3 is subsequently withdrawn by the Holders requesting such registration, either (a) if Holders of any number of the Registrable Securities to have been registered agree, then such agreeing Holders of the Registrable Securities to have been registered shall bear all such Registration Expenses pro rata on the basis of the number of shares to have been registered for such Holders and the Holders shall not be treated as having requested such registration for purposes of limitations of the numbers of registrations that may be requested by Holders pursuant to Section 2.1 or 2.3 as applicable, or (b) if no such Holders agree, then the Holders will forfeit their right to one registration pursuant to such section, and the Company shall bear such Registration Expenses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, the Holders shall not be required to pay any of said Registration Expenses or to forfeit the right to one demand registration and the Company shall pay the same if (x) at the time of the 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, of which the Company should have had knowledge at the time of the request or (y) if the Holders have withdrawn the registration pursuant to a written request by the Company or its underwriters.
2.5 Registration Procedures. In the case of each registration, qualification or compliance effected by the Company pursuant to this Section 2, the Company will keep each Holder advised in writing as to the initiation of each registration, qualification and compliance and as to the completion thereof.

2.6 Limitation on Subsequent Registration Rights.
(a) The Company may grant, without the consent of any holder of Registrable Securities hereunder, to any holder of securities of the Company, registration rights inferior to or on a pari passu basis with the rights granted to the Investors hereunder; provided such rights are approved by the Company’s Board of Directors. The Company may xxxxx xxxx passu rights pursuant to the preceding sentence by amending this Rights Agreement to make the grantees of such rights parties to this Rights Agreement and such amendment may be effected without further consent of the Founders or the holders of Registrable Securities by having such grantees execute a counterpart of this Rights Agreement, whereupon such grantees shall be parties to this Rights Agreement.

2.7 Indemnification.
(a) The Company will indemnify each Holder, each of its officers, directors, partners and legal counsel, and each person controlling such Holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, with respect to which registration, qualification or compliance has been effected pursuant to this Section 2, and each underwriter, if any, and each person who controls any underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, against all expenses, claims, losses, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), including any of the foregoing incurred in settlement of any litigation, commenced or threatened, arising out of or based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any registration statement, prospectus, offering circular or other document, or any amendment or supplement thereto, incident to any such registration, qualification or compliance, or based on any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading, or any violation by the Company of the Securities Act or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act applicable to the Company in connection with any such registration, qualification or compliance, and the Company will reimburse each such Holder, each of its officers, directors, partners, and legal counsel and each person controlling such Holder, each such underwriter and each person who controls any such underwriter, for any legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating, preparing or defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action; provided that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such claim, loss, damage, liability or expense arises out of or is based on any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission, made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by an instrument duly executed by such Holder, controlling person or underwriter and stated to be specifically for use therein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the obligations of the Company under this Section 2.7(a) shall not apply to

16
amounts paid in settlement of any such expenses, claims, losses, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
(b) Each Holder will, if Registrable Securities held by such Holder are included in the securities as to which such registration, qualification or compliance is being effected, indemnify the Company, each of its directors, officers, and legal counsel, each underwriter, if any, of the Company’s securities covered by such a registration statement, each person who controls the Company or such underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, and each other Holder, each of its officers, directors, partners and legal counsel and each person controlling such Holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, against all claims, losses, damages and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arising out of or based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any such registration statement, prospectus, offering circular or other document, or any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse the Company, such Holders, such directors, officers, persons, underwriters or control persons for any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) or omission (or alleged omission) is made in such registration statement, prospectus, offering circular or other document in direct reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by an instrument duly executed by such Holder and stated to be specifically for use therein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the obligations of such Holder hereunder shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such claims, losses, damages, or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) if such settlement is effected or delayed without the consent of such Holder (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and the liability of each Holder under this subsection (b) shall be limited in an amount equal to the net proceeds to each such Holder of Registrable Securities sold as contemplated herein, unless such liability resulted from willful misconduct by such Holder. A Holder will not be required to enter into any agreement or undertaking in connection with any registration under this Section 2 providing for any indemnification or contribution on the part of such Holder greater than the Holder’s obligations under this Section 2.7(b).
(c) Each party entitled to indemnification under this Section 2.7 (the “Indemnified Party”) shall give notice to the party required to provide indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) promptly after such Indemnified Party has actual knowledge of any claim as to which indemnity may be sought, and shall permit the Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of any such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom; provided that counsel for the Indemnifying Party, who shall conduct the defense of such claim or litigation, shall be approved by the Indemnified Party (whose approval shall not unreasonably be withheld), and the Indemnified Party may participate in such defense at such party’s expense, and provided further that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Section 2 unless the failure to give such notice is materially prejudicial to an Indemnifying Party’s ability to defend such action and provided further, that the Indemnifying Party shall not assume the defense for matters as to which there is

17
a conflict of interest or separate and different defenses but shall bear the expense of such defense nevertheless. No Indemnifying Party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation, shall, except with the consent of each Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), 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.
(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 2.7 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. The relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and of the Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Indemnifying Party or by the Indemnified Party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge and access to information. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the contribution by the Indemnified Party under this Section 2.7(d) exceed the net proceeds from the offering received by such Indemnified Party, unless such Indemnified Party’s liability resulted from willful misconduct by such Indemnified Party.
(e) If the Underwriting Agreement conflicts with the foregoing, the terms of the Underwriting Agreement shall prevail.
(f) The obligations of the Company and Holders under this Section 2.7 shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in a registration statement under this Section 2, and otherwise.
2.8 Information by Holder. The Holder or Holders of Registrable Securities included in any registration shall furnish to the Company such information regarding such Holder or Holders, the Registrable Securities held by them and the distribution proposed by such Holder or Holders as the Company may reasonably request in writing and as shall be required in connection with any registration, qualification or compliance referred to in this Section 2.
2.9 Rule 144 Reporting. With a view to making available the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the Commission which may at any time permit the sale of the Registrable Securities to the public without registration, after such time as a public market exists for the Common Stock of the Company, the Company agrees to use its best efforts to:

3. Major Investors’ Right of Participation
3.1 The Company hereby grants, on the terms set forth in this Section 3, to each Major Investor the right of first offer to purchase all or any part of such Major Investor’s pro rata share (calculated as provided below) of the New Securities (as defined in Section 3.2) which the Company may, from time to time, propose to sell and issue after the date of this Rights Agreement. Such Major Investors may purchase said New Securities on the same terms and at the same price at which the Company proposes to sell the New Securities. The pro rata share of each Major Investor, for purposes of this right of first offer, is determined by multiplying the total number of New Securities proposed by the Company to be sold and issued by the ratio of (a) the total number of shares of Common Stock held by such Major Investor immediately prior to the issuance of the New Securities (including any shares of Common Stock into which shares of New Preferred Stock then held by such Major Investor are convertible and any shares of Common Stock issuable under outstanding stock options or warrants held by such Major Investor) to (b) the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of the New Securities (including any shares of Common Stock into which shares of then outstanding New Preferred Stock are convertible and the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company issuable under outstanding stock options of the Company and outstanding warrants of the Company). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Major Investor shall have the right to purchase any shares of New Securities pursuant to this Section 3.1 if such purchase would be in violation of any standstill agreement between such Major Investor and the Company.
3.2 “New Securities” shall mean any capital stock of the Company, whether now authorized or not, and any rights, options or warrants to purchase said capital stock, and securities of any type whatsoever that are, or may become, convertible into said capital stock; provided that New Securities does not include (i) the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the New Preferred Stock, (ii) the Series DD Preferred Stock purchased under the Series DD Agreement, (iii) securities offered and sold pursuant to a registration statement filed under the Securities Act which public offering results in the automatic conversion of the New Preferred Stock or in connection with which the shares of New Preferred Stock are otherwise automatically converted, (iv) securities (or related options or other rights to purchase such securities) issued to officers, directors and employees of, and consultants to, the Company pursuant to plans, arrangements or agreements approved by the Board of Directors of the Company; (v) shares of securities (or related options, warrants or rights to purchase such securities) issued to suppliers, licensors of technology, lessors, lenders and other providers of goods and services to the Company or to strategic alliance partners of the Company, as may be approved by the Board of Directors of the Company; (vi) shares of securities (or related options, warrants or rights to purchase such securities) issued in connection with an acquisition of another entity or assets of
**** Certain information has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.
21
another entity by the Company pursuant to any plan or arrangement as may be approved by the Board of Directors (not to exceed 5% of the then outstanding shares of the Company on an as-converted basis (assuming the exercise of all securities convertible into or exercisable for shares of Common Stock in the Company)); (vii) securities issued pursuant to any rights or agreements, including, without limitation, convertible securities, options and warrants; provided that the Company shall have complied with the rights of participation established by this Section 3 with respect to the initial sale or grant by the Company of such rights or agreements; (viii) securities issued pursuant to the exercise of options and/or warrants outstanding on the date of this Rights Agreement; (ix) securities issued in connection with any stock split, stock dividend or recapitalization by the Company; and (x) securities excepted from the definition of “New Securities” upon the approval in writing of the holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding shares of the Common Stock of the Company held by Major Investors (assuming the conversion of all New Preferred Stock into Common Stock); provided, that notwithstanding any such exception from the definition of New Securities approved pursuant to clause (x), BASIC (as defined below) shall be entitled to its right of participation provided by this Section 3 with respect to such excepted New Securities, unless such securities of the Company are otherwise excluded from the definition of New Securities pursuant to another clause under this Section 3.2, BASIC no longer qualifies as a Major Investor, or BASIC provides a prior written consent to such exception.
3.3 In the event the Company proposes to undertake an issuance of New Securities, it shall give to the Major Investors written notice (the “Notice”) of its intention, describing the type of New Securities, the price and the terms upon which the Company proposes to issue the same. The Major Investors shall have twenty (20) days from the date of receipt of the Notice to elect in writing to purchase any or all of the New Securities for the price and upon the terms specified in the Notice by giving written notice to the Company and stating therein the quantity of New Securities to be purchased and forwarding payment for such New Securities to the Company if immediate payment is required by such terms, or in any event no later than twenty (20) days after the date of receipt of the Notice. Each Major Investor shall have a right of over-allotment (the “Over-Allotment Right”) such that if any Major Investor fails to exercise its right hereunder to purchase its full pro rata share of New Securities, then the Company shall promptly notify in writing (the “Company Notice”) the Major Investors, who have fully exercised such rights, of the unsubscribed shares of New Securities and shall offer such Major Investors the right to acquire such unsubscribed New Securities. Each Major Investor shall have five (5) days from the date of receipt of the Company Notice to provide a written response to the Company Notice indicating the total number of such unsubscribed shares of New Securities that such Major Investor desires to purchase. In the event the Major Investors oversubscribe for such unsubscribed New Securities, such unsubscribed New Securities shall be allocated on a pro rata basis (on the basis of the number of New Securities desired to be purchased, as indicated in such written response to the Company Notice) among the Major Investors who have elected to exercise their Over-Allotment Right. Any sale of New Securities pursuant to the Over-Allotment Right shall be completed within ten (10) days from the date of receipt of the Company Notice.
3.4 The Company shall have ninety (90) days thereafter to sell or enter into an agreement (pursuant to which the sale of New Securities covered thereby shall be closed, if at all,
**** Certain information has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.
22
within thirty (30) days from date of said agreement) to sell the New Securities respecting which the Major Investors’ rights were not exercised, at a price and upon general terms no more favorable than specified in the Notice. In the event the Company has not sold the New Securities within said ninety (90) day period (or sold and issued New Securities in accordance with the foregoing within thirty (30) days from the date of said agreement), the Company shall not thereafter issue or sell any New Securities without first offering such securities to the Major Investors in the manner provided above.
3.5 The right of first offer granted under this Section 3 shall expire immediately prior to:
(i) the date upon which a registration statement filed by the Company under the Securities Act (other than a registration of securities in a Rule 145 transaction or with respect to an employee benefit plan) in connection with an underwritten public offering of its securities first becomes effective if (A) such public offering would result in the automatic conversion of the New Preferred Stock pursuant to the terms of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, as amended) and the securities registered thereunder are sold or (B) the New Preferred Stock are otherwise automatically converted in connection with such public offering;
(ii) an acquisition of the Company by another corporation or entity by consolidation, merger, sale of assets or other reorganization in which the holders of the Company’s outstanding voting stock immediately prior to such transaction own directly or indirectly, immediately after such transaction, securities representing less than fifty percent (50%) of the voting power of the corporation or other entity surviving such transaction; or

Any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind or character on the part of any Holder of any breach or default under this Rights Agreement or any waiver on the part of any Holder of any provisions or conditions of this Rights Agreement must be made in writing and shall be effective only to the extent specifically set forth in such writing.

9.13 Regulatory Requirements. In the event of any reasonable determination by BASIC or any of its affiliates that holds shares of capital stock of the Company (a “Bank of America Holder”) that, by reason of any existing or future federal or state rule, regulation, guideline, order, request or directive (whether or not having the force of law and whether or not failure to comply therewith would be unlawful) (collectively, a “Regulatory Requirement”), it is or will be effectively restricted or prohibited from holding any shares of capital stock of the Company (including any shares of capital stock or other securities distributable to such Bank of America Holder in any merger, reorganization, readjustment or other reclassification of such shares or issuable to such Bank of America Holder upon exercise of its rights hereunder or in the Eighth Amended and Restated Co-Sale Agreement, the Seventh Amended and Restated Voting Agreement and the Performance Equity Agreement, in each case dated on or about the date hereof and as amended from time to time), the Company and the other stockholders shall take such reasonable action, at such Bank of America Holder’s expense, as may be reasonably necessary to permit such Bank of America Holder to comply with such Regulatory Requirement. Such action to be taken may include, without limitation, the Company’s authorization of one or more new classes of capital stock and the modification or amendment of the certificate of incorporation or any other documents or instruments executed in connection with the shares of capital stock held by such Bank of America Holder. Such Bank of America Holder shall give written notice to the Company and the other stockholders of any such determination and the action or actions necessary to comply with such Regulatory Requirement, and the Company and such other stockholders shall take all reasonable steps that are reasonably necessary to comply with such determination as expeditiously as possible. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 9.13 to the contrary, neither the Company nor any stockholder will be required to take any actions or steps that would have an adverse effect on the economic, governance or transfer rights of any stockholder.

INVESTMENT REPRESENTATION STATEMENT
PURCHASER | : |

COMPANY | : |

SECURITIES | : |
|

DATE | : |
|
In connection with the purchase of the above-listed Securities, the undersigned represents to the Company the following:
(a) The undersigned is sufficiently aware of the Company’s business affairs and financial condition to reach an informed and knowledgeable decision to acquire the Securities. The undersigned is purchasing these Securities for its own account for investment purposes only and not with a view to, or for the resale in connection with, any “distribution” thereof for purposes of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The undersigned is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501 promulgated under the Securities Act. The residency of the undersigned is correctly set forth on the signature page below.
(b) The undersigned understands that the Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act in reliance upon a specific exemption therefrom, which exemption depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of its investment intent as expressed herein. In this connection, the undersigned understands that, in the view of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), the statutory basis for such exemption may be unavailable if its representation was predicated solely upon a present intention to hold these Securities for the minimum capital gains period specified under tax statutes, for a deferred sale, for or until an increase or decrease in the market price of the Securities, or for a period of one year or any other fixed period in the future.
(c) The undersigned further understands that the Securities must be held indefinitely unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act or unless an exemption from registration is otherwise available (such as Rule 144 under the Securities Act). Moreover, the undersigned understands that the Company is under no obligation to register the Securities. In addition, the undersigned understands that the certificate evidencing the Securities may be imprinted with a legend which prohibits the transfer of the Securities unless they are registered or such registration is not required in the opinion of counsel for the Company.
(d) The undersigned is familiar with the provisions of Rule 144, promulgated under the Securities Act, which, in substance, permits limited public resale of “restricted securities” acquired, directly or indirectly, from the issuer thereof (or from an affiliate of such issuer), in a non-public offering subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including, among other things: (1) The availability of certain public information about the Company; (2) the resale’s occurring not less than two years after the party has purchased, and made full payment for,
**** Certain information has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.
within the meaning of Rule 144, the securities to be sold; and, in the case of an affiliate, or of a non-affiliate who has held the securities less than two years, (3) the sale being made through a broker in an unsolicited “broker’s transaction” or in transactions directly with a market maker, as said term is defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) and the amount of securities being sold during any three month period not exceeding the specified limitations stated therein, if applicable. There can be no assurances that the requirements of Rule 144 will be met, or that the Securities will ever be saleable.
(e) The undersigned further understands that at the time the undersigned wishes to sell the Securities there may be no public market upon which to make such a sale, and that, even if such a public market then exists, the Company may not be satisfying the current public information requirements of Rule 144, and that, in such event, the undersigned would be precluded from selling the Securities under Rule 144 even if the applicable minimum holding period had been satisfied.
(f) The undersigned further understands that in the event all of the applicable requirements of Rule 144 are not satisfied registration under the Securities Act, compliance with Regulation A, compliance with some other registration exemption or the notification to the Company of the proposed disposition by it and the furnishing to the Company of (i) detailed information regarding the disposition, and (ii) and opinion of its counsel to the effect that such disposition will not require registration (the undersigned understands such counsel’s opinion shall concur with the opinion by counsel for the Company and the undersigned shall have been informed of such compliance) will be required and that, notwithstanding the fact that Rule 144 is not exclusive, the Staff of the SEC has expressed its opinion that persons proposing to sell private placement securities other than in a registered offering and otherwise than pursuant to Rule 144 will have a substantial burden of proof in establishing that an exemption from registration is available for such offers or sales, and that such persons and their respective brokers who participate in such transactions do so at their own risk.
