2. Registration Rights.
2.1 Required Registrations.
(a) At any time after the earlier to occur of (i) five years after the date of this Agreement and (ii) six months after the closing of an Initial Public Offering, an Initiating Holder or Initiating Holders may request, in writing, that the Company effect a registration on Form S-1 (or any successor form) of Registrable Shares having an aggregate value of at least $5,000,000 (based on the market price or fair value as determined by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion on the date of such request).
(b) At any time after the Company becomes eligible to file a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (or any successor form relating to secondary offerings), an Initiating Holder or Initiating Holders or any Purchaser or Purchasers that in the aggregate hold(s) Registrable Shares having an aggregate value of at least $25 million may request, in writing, that the Company effect the registration on Form S-3 (or such successor form), of Registrable Shares having an aggregate value of at least $1,000,000 (based on the public market price on the date of such request).
(c) Upon receipt of any request for registration pursuant to this Section 2, the Company shall promptly give written notice of such proposed registration to all other Purchasers. Such Purchasers shall have the right, by giving written notice to the Company within 30 days after the Company provides its notice, to elect to have included in such registration such of their Registrable Shares as such Purchasers may request in such notice of election, subject in the case of an underwritten offering to the terms of Section 2.1(d). Thereupon, the Company shall, as expeditiously as possible, use commercially reasonable efforts to effect the registration on an appropriate registration form of all Registrable Shares which the Company has been requested to so register; provided, however, that in the case of a registration requested under Section 2.1(b), the Company will only be obligated to effect such registration on Form S-3 (or any successor form).
(d) If the Initiating Holders intend to distribute the Registrable Shares covered by their request by means of an underwriting, they shall so advise the Company as a part of their request made pursuant to Section 2.1(a) or (b), as the case may be, and the Company shall include such information in its written notice referred to in Section 2.1(c). In such event, (i) the right of any other Purchaser to include its Registrable Shares in such registration pursuant to Section 2.1(a) or (b), as the case may be, shall be conditioned upon such other Purchaser’s participation in such underwriting on the terms set forth herein, and (ii) all Purchasers including Registrable Shares in such registration shall enter into an underwriting agreement upon customary terms with the underwriter or underwriters managing the offering. If any Purchaser who has requested inclusion of its Registrable Shares in such registration as provided above disapproves of the terms of the underwriting, such Purchaser may elect, by written notice to the Company, to withdraw its Registrable Shares from such Registration Statement and underwriting. If the Company desires that any officers or directors of the Company holding securities of the Company be included in any registration for an underwritten offering requested pursuant to Section 2.1 or if Other Holders request such inclusion, the Company may include the securities of such officers, directors and Other Holders in such registration and underwriting on the terms set forth herein applicable to the Purchasers. If the managing underwriter advises the Company in writing that marketing factors require a limitation on the number of shares to be
7
underwritten, the shares held by officers or directors of the Company and by Other Holders (other than Registrable Shares) shall be excluded from such Registration Statement and underwriting to the extent deemed advisable by the managing underwriter, and if a further reduction of the number of shares is required, the number of shares that may be included in such Registration Statement and underwriting shall be allocated among all Purchasers requesting registration in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective number of Registrable Shares held by them on the date of the request for registration made by the Initiating Holders pursuant to Section 2.1(a) or (b), as the case may be. If any such stockholder would thus be entitled to include more shares than such stockholder requested to be registered, the excess shall be allocated among other participating stockholders pro rata in the manner described in the preceding sentence. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such reduction shall reduce the value of the Registrable Shares of the Initiating Holders included in such registration below twenty five percent (25%) of the total value of securities included in such registration, unless such offering is the Company’s Initial Public Offering and such registration does not include shares of any other selling stockholders. If the managing underwriter has not limited the number of Registrable Shares or other securities to be underwritten, the Company may include securities for its own account in such registration if the managing underwriter so agrees and if the number of Registrable Shares and other securities which would otherwise have been included in such registration and underwriting will not thereby be limited.
(e) The Company shall not be required to effect more than three registrations pursuant to Section 2.1(a) or more than two registrations in any twelve-month period pursuant to Section 2.1(b). In addition, the Company shall not be required to effect any registration within six months after the effective date of the Registration Statement relating to the Initial Public Offering. For purposes of this Section 2.1(e), a Registration Statement shall not be counted until such time as such Registration Statement has been declared effective by the Commission (unless the Initiating Holders withdraw their request for such registration (other than as a result of information concerning the business or financial condition of the Company which is made known to the Purchasers after the date on which such registration was requested) and elect not to pay the Registration Expenses therefor pursuant to Section 2.4). For purposes of this Section 2.1(e), a Registration Statement shall not be counted if, as a result of an exercise of the underwriter’s cut-back provisions, less than 80% of the total number of Registrable Shares that Purchasers have requested to be included in such Registration Statement are so included.
(f) If at the time of any request to register Registrable Shares by Initiating Holders pursuant to this Section 2.1, the Company is engaged or has plans to engage in a registered public offering or is engaged in any other activity which, in the good faith determination of the Board of Directors, would be adversely affected by the requested registration, then the Company may at its option direct that such request be delayed for a period not in excess of 30 days from the date of such request, such right to delay a request to be exercised by the Company not more than once in any 12-month period.
2.2 Incidental Registration.
(a) Whenever the Company proposes to file a Registration Statement covering shares of Common Stock (other than a Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2.1) at any time and from time to time, it will, prior to such filing, give written notice to all
8
Purchasers of its intention to do so. Upon the written request of a Purchaser or Purchasers given within 20 days after the Company provides such notice (which request shall state the intended method of disposition of such Registrable Shares), the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause all Registrable Shares which the Company has been requested by such Purchaser or Purchasers to register to be registered under the Securities Act to the extent necessary to permit their sale or other disposition in accordance with the intended methods of distribution specified in the request of such Purchaser or Purchasers; provided that the Company shall have the right to postpone or withdraw any registration effected pursuant to this Section 2.2, prior to the effective date of such registration, without obligation to any Purchaser. The expenses of any registration withdrawn pursuant to this Section 2.2(a) shall be borne by the Company in accordance with Section 2.4.
(b) If the registration for which the Company gives notice pursuant to Section 2.2(a) is a registered public offering involving an underwriting, the Company shall so advise the Purchasers as a part of the written notice given pursuant to Section 2.2(a). In such event, (i) the right of any Purchaser to include its Registrable Shares in such registration pursuant to this Section 2.2 shall be conditioned upon such Purchaser’s participation in such underwriting on the terms set forth herein and (ii) all Purchasers including Registrable Shares in such registration shall enter into an underwriting agreement upon customary terms with the underwriter or underwriters selected for the underwriting by the Company. If any Purchaser who has requested inclusion of its Registrable Shares in such registration as provided above disapproves of the terms of the underwriting, such person may elect, by written notice to the Company, to withdraw its shares from such Registration Statement and underwriting. If the managing underwriter advises the Company in writing that marketing factors require a limitation on the number of shares to be underwritten, the shares held by holders of securities of the Company other than Purchasers and Other Holders shall be excluded from such Registration Statement and underwriting to the extent deemed advisable by the managing underwriter, and, if a further reduction of the number of shares is required, the number of shares that may be included in such Registration Statement and underwriting shall be allocated among all Purchasers and Other Holders requesting registration in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective number of shares of Common Stock (on an as-converted basis) held by them on the date the Company gives the notice specified in Section 2.2(a); provided that, unless such registration is in connection with the Company’s Initial Public Offering, the number of Registrable Shares permitted to be included therein shall in any event be at least 25% of the securities included therein (based on aggregate market values). If any Purchaser or Other Holder would thus be entitled to include more shares than such holder requested to be registered, the excess shall be allocated among other requesting Purchasers and Other Holders pro rata in the manner described in the preceding sentence.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required, pursuant to this Section 2.2, to include any Registrable Shares in a Registration Statement (other than in the Initial Public Offering) if such Registrable Shares can then be sold pursuant to Rule 144(b)(1)(i) under the Securities Act.
9
2.3 Registration Procedures.
(a) If and whenever the Company is required by the provisions of this Agreement to use commercially reasonable efforts to effect the registration of any Registrable Shares under the Securities Act, the Company shall:
(i) file with the Commission a Registration Statement with respect to such Registrable Shares and use commercially reasonable efforts to cause that Registration Statement to become effective as soon as possible;
(ii) as expeditiously as possible prepare and file with the Commission any amendments and supplements to the Registration Statement and the prospectus included in the Registration Statement as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act (including the anti-fraud provisions thereof) and to keep the Registration Statement effective for 12 months from the effective date or such lesser period until all such Registrable Shares are sold;
(iii) as expeditiously as possible furnish to each Selling Stockholder such reasonable numbers of copies of the Prospectus, including any preliminary Prospectus, in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents as such Selling Stockholder may reasonably request in order to facilitate the public sale or other disposition of the Registrable Shares owned by such Selling Stockholder;
(iv) as expeditiously as possible use commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify the Registrable Shares covered by the Registration Statement under the securities or Blue Sky laws of such states as the Selling Stockholders shall reasonably request, and do any and all other acts and things that may be necessary or desirable to enable the Selling Stockholders to consummate the public sale or other disposition in such states of the Registrable Shares owned by the Selling Stockholders; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required in connection with this paragraph (iv) to qualify as a foreign corporation or to execute a general consent to service of process in any jurisdiction or to amend its Certificate of Incorporation or By-laws, each as may be amended and/or restated from time to time, in a manner that the Board of Directors determines is inadvisable;
(v) as expeditiously as possible, cause all such Registrable Shares to be listed on each securities exchange or automated quotation system on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed;
(vi) promptly provide a transfer agent and registrar, and provide a CUSIP number, for all such Registrable Shares not later than the effective date of such Registration Statement;
(vii) promptly make available for inspection by the Selling Stockholders, any managing underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to such Registration Statement, and any attorney or accountant or other agent retained by any such underwriter or selected by the Selling Stockholders, all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company and cause the Company’s officers, directors, employees and independent accountants to supply all information reasonably requested by any such seller, underwriter, attorney, accountant or agent in connection with such Registration Statement;
10
(viii) notify each Selling Stockholder, promptly after it shall receive notice thereof, of the time when such Registration Statement has become effective or a supplement to any Prospectus forming a part of such Registration Statement has been filed; and
(ix) as expeditiously as possible following the effectiveness of such Registration Statement, notify each seller of such Registrable Shares of any request by the Commission for the amending or supplementing of such Registration Statement or Prospectus.
(b) If the Company has delivered a Prospectus to the Selling Stockholders and after having done so the Prospectus is amended to comply with the requirements of the Securities Act, the Company shall promptly notify the Selling Stockholders and, if requested, the Selling Stockholders shall immediately cease making offers of Registrable Shares and return all Prospectuses to the Company. The Company shall promptly provide the Selling Stockholders with revised Prospectuses and, following receipt of the revised Prospectuses, the Selling Stockholders shall be free to resume making offers of the Registrable Shares.
(c) In the event that, in the judgment of the Company, it is advisable to suspend use of a Prospectus included in a Registration Statement due to pending material developments or other events that have not yet been publicly disclosed and as to which the Company believes public disclosure would be detrimental to the Company, the Company shall notify all Selling Stockholders to such effect, and, upon receipt of such notice, each such Selling Stockholder shall immediately discontinue any sales of Registrable Shares pursuant to such Registration Statement until such Selling Stockholder has received copies of a supplemented or amended Prospectus or until such Selling Stockholder is advised in writing by the Company that the then current Prospectus may be used and has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference in such Prospectus. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Company shall not exercise its rights under this Section 2.3(c) to suspend sales of Registrable Shares for a period in excess of 30 days in any 365-day period.
2.4 Allocation of Expenses. The Company will pay all Registration Expenses incurred in connection with registrations pursuant to Sections 2.1 and 2.2 of this Agreement, regardless of whether any such registration does or does not become effective and regardless of whether such registration shall or shall not be treated as a counted registration for purposes of Section 2.1 hereof; provided, however, that if a registration under Section 2.1 is withdrawn at the request of the Initiating Holders (other than as a result of information concerning the business or financial condition of the Company which is made known to the Selling Stockholders after the date on which such registration was requested) and if the Initiating Holders elect not to have such registration counted as a registration requested under Section 2.1, the Selling Stockholders shall pay the Registration Expenses of such registration pro rata in accordance with the number of their Registrable Shares included in such registration.

2.5 Indemnification and Contribution.
(a) In the event of any registration of any of the Registrable Shares under the Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Selling Stockholder and the partners, members, officers, directors and stockholders of each Selling Stockholder, each underwriter of such Registrable Shares, and each other person, if any, who controls such Selling Stockholder or underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act against any expenses, losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such Selling Stockholder, underwriter, controlling person or other aforementioned person may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, state securities or Blue Sky laws or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any Registration Statement under which such Registrable Shares were registered under the Securities Act, including any amendments or supplements thereto, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained in the Registration Statement, including any amendments or supplements thereto, (ii) any omission or alleged omission to state 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 Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any state securities law or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any state securities law in connection with the Registration Statement or the offering contemplated thereby; and the Company will reimburse such Selling Stockholder, underwriter, controlling person or other aforementioned person for any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred by such Selling Stockholder, underwriter, controlling person or other aforementioned person in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or omission made in such Registration Statement, preliminary prospectus or prospectus, or any such amendment or supplement, in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the Company, in writing, by or on behalf of such Selling Stockholder, underwriter, controlling person or other aforementioned person specifically for use in the preparation thereof.
(b) In the event of any registration of any of the Registrable Shares under the Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement, each Selling Stockholder, severally and not jointly, will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, any other Purchaser under this Agreement selling securities in such registration statement, each of its directors and officers and each underwriter (if any) and each person, if any, who controls the Company, such other Purchaser, or any such underwriter 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, such other Purchaser, such directors and officers, underwriter or controlling person may become subject under the Securities Act, Exchange Act, state securities or Blue Sky laws or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement under which such Registrable Shares were registered under the Securities Act, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained in the Registration Statement, or any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement, or (ii) any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, if and to the extent (and only to the extent) that the statement
12
or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with information relating to such Selling Stockholder furnished in writing to the Company by such Selling Stockholder specifically for use in connection with the preparation of such Registration Statement, prospectus, amendment or supplement; provided, however, that the obligations of a Selling Stockholder hereunder shall be limited to an amount equal to the net proceeds to such Selling Stockholder of Registrable Shares sold in connection with such registration.
(c) Each Indemnified Party shall give notice to 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 be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); 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 2.5 except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is adversely affected by such failure. The Indemnified Party may participate in such defense at such party’s expense; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall pay such expense if the Indemnified Party reasonably concludes that representation of such Indemnified Party by the counsel retained by the Indemnifying Party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between the Indemnified Party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding; provided further that in no event shall the Indemnifying Party be required to pay the expenses of more than one law firm per jurisdiction as counsel for the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party also shall be responsible for the expenses of such defense if the Indemnifying Party does not elect to assume such defense. 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 of such claim or litigation, and no Indemnified Party shall consent to entry of any judgment or settle such claim or litigation without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
(d) In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnification provided for in this Section 2.5 is due in accordance with its terms but for any reason is held to be unavailable to an Indemnified Party in respect to any losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to herein, then the Indemnifying Party shall, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which such party may be subject in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Selling Stockholders on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Company and the Selling Stockholders shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact related to information supplied by the Company or the Selling Stockholders and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Company and the Selling Stockholders agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section
13
2.5(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 2.5(d), (i) in no case shall any one Selling Stockholder be liable or responsible for any amount in excess of the net proceeds received by such Selling Stockholder from the offering of Registrable Shares and (ii) the Company shall be liable and responsible for any amount in excess of such proceeds; provided, however, that no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. Any party entitled to contribution will, promptly after receipt of notice of commencement of any action, suit or proceeding against such party in respect of which a claim for contribution may be made against another party or parties under this Section 2.5(d), notify such party or parties from whom contribution may be sought, but the omission so to notify such party or parties from whom contribution may be sought shall not relieve such party from any other obligation it or they may have thereunder or otherwise under this Section 2.5(d). No party shall be liable for contribution with respect to any action, suit, proceeding or claim settled without its prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
(e) The rights and obligations of the Company and the Selling Stockholders under this Section 2.5 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
2.6 Other Matters with Respect to Underwritten Offerings. In the event that Registrable Shares are sold pursuant to a Registration Statement in an underwritten offering pursuant to Section 2.1, the Company agrees to (a) enter into an underwriting agreement containing customary representations and warranties with respect to the business and operations of the Company and customary covenants and agreements to be performed by the Company, including without limitation customary provisions with respect to indemnification by the Company of the underwriters of such offering; (b) use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its legal counsel to render customary opinions to the underwriters with respect to the Registration Statement; and (c) use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its independent public accounting firm to issue customary “cold comfort letters” to the underwriters with respect to the Registration Statement.
2.7 Information by Holder. Each holder of Registrable Shares included in any registration shall furnish to the Company such information regarding such holder and the distribution proposed by such holder 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 Agreement.
2.8 “Lock-Up” Agreement; Confidentiality of Notices. Each Purchaser agrees, if requested by the managing underwriter of the Initial Public Offering, (i) not to (a) offer, pledge, announce the intention to sell, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any Registrable Shares or other securities of the Company (excluding securities acquired in the Initial Public Offering or in the public market after such offering) or (b) enter into any swap or other agreement that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of any Registrable Shares or other securities of the Company (excluding securities acquired in the Initial Public Offering or in
14
the public market after such offering), whether any transaction described in clause (a) or (b) is to be settled by delivery of securities, in cash or otherwise, during the period beginning on the date of the filing of such registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission and ending 180 days after the effective date of the registration statement relating to the Initial Public Offering (plus up to an additional 34 days to the extent requested by the managing underwriters for such offering in order to address Rule 2711(f) of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. or any similar successor provision) (the “Lock-Up Period”), provided that, all stockholders of the Company then holding at least 1% of the outstanding Common Stock (on an as-converted basis) and all officers and directors of the Company are similarly bound, and (ii) to execute any agreement reflecting clause (i) above as may be requested by the managing underwriters at the time of such offering; provided, that all stockholders of the Company then holding at least 1% of the outstanding Common Stock (on an as-converted basis) and all officers and directors of the Company enter into similar agreements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, clauses (i) and (ii) above shall only be applicable to the Purchasers if all stockholders of the Company then holding at least 1% of the outstanding Common Stock (on an as-converted basis) and all officers and directors of the Company are treated similarly with respect to any release prior to the termination of the Lock-Up period (including any extension thereof) such that if any such persons are released, all Purchasers shall also be released to the same extent on a pro rata basis.
The Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the Registrable Shares or other securities subject to the foregoing restriction until the end of such “lock-up” period.
Any Purchaser receiving any written notice from the Company regarding the Company’s plans to file a Registration Statement, whether pursuant to this or any other provision of this Agreement, shall treat such notice confidentially and shall not disclose such information to any person other than as necessary to exercise its rights under this Agreement.
2.9 Limitations on Subsequent Registration Rights. The Company shall not, prior to the Initial Public Offering, without the prior written consent of those Purchasers holding at least a majority of the Registrable Shares then held by all Purchasers, enter into any agreement (other than this Agreement) with any holder or prospective holder of any securities of the Company which grants such holder or prospective holder rights to include securities of the Company in any Registration Statement, unless (a) such rights to include securities in a registration initiated by the Company or by Purchasers are subordinate to the rights granted to Other Holders under Sections 2.1 and 2.2, and (b) no rights are granted to initiate a registration, other than registration pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-3 (or its successor) in which Purchasers are entitled to include Registrable Shares on a pro rata basis with such holders based on the number of shares of Common Stock (on an as-converted basis) owned by Purchasers and such holders.
2.10 Rule 144 Requirements. After the earliest of (i) the closing of the sale of securities of the Company pursuant to a Registration Statement, (ii) the registration by the Company of a class of securities under Section 12 of the Exchange Act, or (iii) the issuance by the Company of an offering circular pursuant to Regulation A under the Securities Act, the Company agrees to:
15
(a) make and keep current public information about the Company available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144;
(b) use commercially reasonable efforts to file with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act (at any time after it has become subject to such reporting requirements); and

2.11 Transfer of Registrable Shares.
(a) Requirements for Transfer.
(i) The Shares and the Registrable Shares shall not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of unless either (A) they first shall have been registered under the Securities Act, or (B) the Company first shall have been furnished with an opinion of legal counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such sale or transfer is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, and any transferee thereof has agreed in writing for the benefit of the Company to take and hold such Shares and/or Registrable Shares, as applicable, subject to, and to be bound by, the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, including, without limitation, this Section 2.11.
(ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no registration or opinion of counsel shall be required for (i) a transfer by a Purchaser to an Affiliated Party of such Purchaser, (ii) a transfer by a Purchaser which is a partnership to a partner of such partnership or a retired partner of such partnership who retires after the date hereof, or to the estate of any such partner or retired partner, or (iii) a transfer by a Purchaser which is a limited liability company to a member of such limited liability company or a retired member who resigns after the date hereof or to the estate of any such member or retired member; provided that the transferee in each case agrees in writing to be subject to the terms of this Section 2.11 to the same extent as if it were an original Purchaser hereunder, or (iv) a transfer made in accordance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act.
(b) Legend. Each certificate or instrument representing (i) the Shares, or (ii) Registrable Shares shall bear a legend substantially in the following form:
“The shares represented by this certificate have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered, sold or otherwise transferred, pledged or hypothecated unless and until such shares are registered under such Act or an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company is obtained to the effect that such registration is not required.
16
The shares represented by this certificate may be transferred only in accordance with the terms of an agreement between the Company and the stockholder, a copy of which is on file with the secretary of the Company.”
The foregoing legend shall be removed from the certificates representing any Shares or Registrable Shares, at the request of the holder thereof, at such time as they become eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act.
(c) Rule 144A Information. The Company shall, at all times during which it is neither subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, nor exempt from reporting pursuant to Rule 12g3-2(b) under the Exchange Act, upon the written request of any Purchaser, provide in writing to such Purchaser and to any prospective transferee of any Shares or Registrable Shares of such Purchaser the information concerning the Company described in Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act (“Rule 144A Information”). The Company also shall, upon the written request of any Purchaser, cooperate with and assist such Purchaser or any member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. PORTAL system in applying to designate and thereafter maintain the eligibility of the Shares or Registrable Shares for trading through PORTAL. The Company’s obligations under this Section 2.11(d) shall at all times be contingent upon receipt from the prospective transferee of Shares or Registrable Shares of a written agreement to take all reasonable precautions to safeguard the Rule 144A Information from disclosure to anyone other than persons who will assist such transferee in evaluating the purchase of any Shares or Registrable Shares.
2.12 Termination. All of the Company’s obligations to register Shares or Registrable Shares under Sections 2.1 and 2.2 shall terminate upon the earliest of (a) four years after the closing of a Qualified IPO, (b) the date on which all Shares or Registrable Shares may be sold within a three month period under Rule 144 or (c) a Company Sale.
3. Right of First Refusal.
3.1 Rights of Purchasers to Acquire Offered Securities.
(a) The Company shall not issue, sell or exchange, agree to issue, sell or exchange, or reserve or set aside for issuance, sale or exchange, any Offered Securities, unless in each such case the Company shall have first complied with this Section 3.1. The Company shall deliver to each Major Investor an Offer, which shall (i) identify and describe the Offered Securities, (ii) describe the price and other terms upon which they are to be issued, sold or exchanged, and the number or amount of the Offered Securities to be issued, sold or exchanged, (iii) identify the persons or entities (if known) to which or with which the Offered Securities are to be offered, issued, sold or exchanged, and (iv) offer to issue and sell to or exchange with such Major Investor (A) such Major Investor’s Basic Amount and (B) such Major Investor’s Undersubscription Amount. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 3.1, after delivery of the Offer, the Company may issue, sell or exchange, agree to issue, sell or exchange, or reserve or set aside for issuance, sale or exchange, Offered Securities to the offerees or
17
purchasers described in the Offer and upon the terms and conditions (including, without limitation, unit prices and interest rates) which are not more favorable, in the aggregate, to the acquiring person or persons or less favorable to the Company than those set forth in the Offer without complying with the terms of this Section 3.1, provided that the Company permits each Major Investor to purchase the number of Offered Securities that such Major Investor is entitled to purchase pursuant to this Section 3.1 on substantially the same terms as the Company sold the Offered Securities in the initial transaction, within 10 days after the Company receives a Notice of Acceptance from such Major Investor.
(b) To accept an Offer, in whole or in part, a Major Investor must deliver to the Company, on or prior to the date 15 business days after the date of delivery of the Offer, a Notice of Acceptance indicating the portion of the Major Investor’s Basic Amount that such Major Investor elects to purchase and, if such Major Investor shall elect to purchase all of its Basic Amount, the Undersubscription Amount (if any) that such Major Investor elects to purchase. If the Basic Amounts subscribed for by all Major Investors are less than the total of all of the Basic Amounts available for purchase, then each Major Investor who has set forth an Undersubscription Amount in its Notice of Acceptance shall be entitled to purchase, in addition to the Basic Amounts subscribed for, the Undersubscription Amount it has subscribed for; provided, however, that if the Undersubscription Amounts subscribed for exceed the Available Undersubscription Amount, each Major Investor who has subscribed for any Undersubscription Amount shall be entitled to purchase only that portion of the Available Undersubscription Amount as the Undersubscription Amount subscribed for by such Major Investor bears to the total Undersubscription Amounts subscribed for by all Purchasers, subject to rounding by the Board of Directors to the extent it deems reasonably necessary.
(c) The Company shall have 90 days from the expiration of the period set forth in Section 3.1(b) to issue, sell or exchange all or any part of the Refused Securities, but only to the offerees or purchasers described in the Offer (if so described therein) and only upon terms and conditions (including, without limitation, unit prices and interest rates) which are not more favorable, in the aggregate, to the acquiring person or persons or less favorable to the Company than those set forth in the Offer.
(d) In the event the Company shall propose to sell less than all the Refused Securities, then each Major Investor may, at its sole option and in its sole discretion, reduce the number or amount of the Offered Securities specified in its Notice of Acceptance to an amount that shall be not less than the number or amount of the Offered Securities that the Major Investor elected to purchase pursuant to Section 3.1(b) multiplied by a fraction, (i) the numerator of which shall be the number or amount of Offered Securities the Company actually proposes to issue, sell or exchange (including Offered Securities to be issued or sold to Major Investors pursuant to Section 3.1(b) prior to such reduction) and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the original amount of the Offered Securities. In the event that any Major Investor so elects to reduce the number or amount of Offered Securities specified in its Notice of Acceptance, the Company may not issue, sell or exchange more than the reduced number or amount of the Offered Securities unless and until such securities have again been offered to the Major Investors in accordance with Section 3.1(a).
18
(e) Upon (i) the closing of the issuance, sale or exchange of all or less than all of the Refused Securities or (ii) such other date agreed to by the Company and Major Investors who have subscribed for a majority of the Offered Securities subscribed for by the Major Investors, such Major Investor shall acquire from the Company and the Company shall issue to such Major Investor, the number or amount of Offered Securities specified in the Notices of Acceptance, as reduced pursuant to Section 3.1(d) if any of the Major Investors has so elected, upon the terms and conditions specified in the Offer.
(f) The purchase by the Major Investors of any Offered Securities is subject in all cases to the preparation, execution and delivery by the Company and the Major Investors of a purchase agreement relating to such Offered Securities reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Major Investors and their respective counsel.
(g) Any Offered Securities not acquired by the Major Investors or other persons in accordance with Section 3.1(c) may not be issued, sold or exchanged until they are again offered to the Major Investors under the procedures specified in this Agreement.
(h) The rights of the Major Investors under this Section 3.1 shall not apply to:
(i) the issuance of any shares of Common Stock as a stock dividend to holders of Common Stock or upon any subdivision or combination of shares of Common Stock;
(ii) the issuance of any shares of Common Stock upon conversion of shares of convertible preferred stock;
(iii) the issuance of shares of Common Stock or options with respect thereto (subject in either case to appropriate adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations and similar events occurring after the date of this Agreement), approved by the Board of Directors, including a majority of the Preferred Directors, issued or issuable to employees, directors or officers of, or consultants to, the Company or any Company Subsidiary pursuant to any plan, agreement or arrangement approved by the Board of Directors, including a majority of the Preferred Directors;
(iv) the issuance of securities solely in consideration for the acquisition (whether by merger or otherwise) by the Company or any Company Subsidiary of all or substantially all of the stock or assets of any other entity the terms of which are approved by the Board of Directors, including a majority of the Preferred Directors;
(v) the issuance of shares of Common Stock by the Company in a firm-commitment underwritten public offering pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act;
(vi) the issuance of shares of Common Stock, or the grant of options or warrants therefor, in connection with any present or future borrowing, line of credit, leasing or similar financing arrangement approved by the Board of Directors and by a majority of the Preferred Directors;
19
(vii) the issuance of shares of Series F Preferred Stock to Additional Purchasers pursuant to Section 2.2 of the Series F Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement; or
(viii) the issuance of any shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of a Warrant.
(i) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the right of first offer in this Section 3 shall not be applicable to any Major Investor with respect to any issuance of Offered Securities if (a) at the time the Company issues such Offered Securities, such Major Investor is not an “accredited investor,” as defined in Rule 501(d) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act, and (ii) such issuance of Offered Securities is only being offered by the Company to accredited investors.
3.2 Termination. This Section 3 shall terminate upon the earlier of the closing of a Company Sale or the closing of a Qualified IPO.
4. Affirmative Covenants. The Company covenants and agrees that it will perform and observe the following covenants and provisions and will cause each Company Subsidiary to perform and observe such of the following covenants and provisions as are applicable to such Company Subsidiary:
4.1 Payment of Taxes and Trade Debt. Pay and discharge all taxes, assessments and governmental charges or levies imposed upon it or upon its income or profits or business, or upon any properties belonging to it, prior to the date on which penalties attach thereto, and all lawful claims, which, if unpaid, might become a lien or charge upon any properties of the Company or a Company Subsidiary, other than those which are being contested in good faith if the Company shall have set aside on its books and shall have provided, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, adequate reserves with respect thereto; and pay in conformity with customary trade terms, all lease obligations, all trade debt, and all other indebtedness incident to its operations, except such as are being contested in good faith if the Company shall have set aside on its books and shall have provided, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, appropriate reserves with respect thereto.
4.2 Maintenance of Insurance. Maintain with responsible and reputable insurance companies or associations, insurance in such amounts and covering such risks as the Company reasonably deems advisable.
4.3 Preservation of Corporate Existence. Preserve and maintain its corporate existence, rights, franchises and privileges in the jurisdiction of its incorporation, and qualify and remain qualified as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is required, unless the failure to so qualify does not and will not have a material and adverse effect on the business, operations or financial condition of the Company; and preserve and maintain all material licenses and other rights to use patents, processes, licenses, trademarks, trade names, inventions, intellectual property rights or copyrights owned or possessed by it as are reasonably necessary or advisable for it to conduct its business.
20
4.4 Compliance with Laws. Comply with all applicable laws, rules, regulations and orders of any governmental authority, noncompliance with which could materially adversely affect its business or condition, financial or otherwise, except non-compliance being contested in good faith through appropriate proceedings so long as the Company shall have set up and funded sufficient reserves, if any, required under generally accepted accounting principles with respect to such items.
4.5 Keeping of Records and Books of Account. Keep adequate records and books of account, in which complete entries will be made in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied, reflecting all financial transactions of the Company, and in which, for each fiscal year, all proper reserves for depreciation, depletion, obsolescence, amortization, taxes, bad debts and other purposes in connection within its business shall be made.
4.6 Maintenance of Properties, etc. Maintain and preserve all of its properties that the Company reasonably deems necessary or useful in the proper conduct of its business in good repair, working order and condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted, and from time to time make all necessary and proper repairs, renewals, replacements, additions and improvements thereto; and comply with the provisions of all material leases to which it is a party or under which it occupies property so as to prevent any material loss or forfeiture thereof or thereunder.
4.7 Inspection and Observation.
(a) The Company shall permit any Non-Strategic Major Investor, or any authorized representative thereof, to visit and inspect the properties of the Company, including its corporate and financial records, and to discuss its business and finances with officers of the Company, during normal business hours following reasonable notice and as often as may be reasonably requested; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated pursuant to this Section 4.7 to provide access to any information which it reasonably considers to be a trade secret.
(b) As long as S.R. One, Limited continues to be a Major Investor, the Company shall invite a representative of S.R. One, Limited to attend all meetings of the Board of Directors in a non-voting observer capacity and, in this respect, shall give such representative all notices of its meetings and other materials as it provides to its directors, provided, however; that the Company reserves the right to exclude such representative from executive sessions of any such meeting.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may (i) condition the right of either of such representatives to receive notices and other materials and to attend meetings of the Board of Directors on the execution of a confidentiality agreement provided by the Company and reasonably acceptable to such representative, but no less protective of the Company than the applicable provisions in Section 5, and (ii) prevent either of such representatives from receiving notices and other materials and attending any portion of a meeting of the Board of Directors if the Company reasonably determines (A) that it is necessary to do so to ensure preservation of the attorney-client privilege, (B) that it is necessary to do so to protect any trade secrets, highly confidential or proprietary information of the Company or a third party or (C) that a real or potential conflict of interest exists or could exist between the Company and/or any of its existing or potential affiliates or business partners, and such observer or any of its respective affiliates or business partners with regard to any subject matter included in such notice or material or to be discussed during such portion of the meeting.

4.18 Right to Conduct Activities. The Company hereby agrees and acknowledges that each of Deerfield, Ponoi Capital and The Column Group (together, “TCG Funds”) and Venrock Funds, together with their respective affiliates, are professional investment funds, and as such invest in numerous portfolio companies, some of which may be deemed competitive with the Company’s business (as currently conducted or as currently proposed to be conducted). The Company hereby agrees that, to the extent permitted under applicable law, Deerfield, TCG Funds, and Venrock Funds shall not be liable to the Company for any claim arising out of, or based upon, (i) the investment by Deerfield, TCG Funds, or Venrock Funds, as applicable, in any entity competitive with the Company or (ii) actions taken by any partner, officer or other representative of Deerfield, TCG Funds, or Venrock Funds, as applicable, to assist any such competitive company, whether or not such action was taken as a member of the board of directors of such competitive company or otherwise, and whether or not such action has a detrimental effect on the Company; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not relieve (x) Deerfield, TCG Funds, or Venrock Funds, as applicable, from liability associated with the unauthorized disclosure of the Company’s confidential information obtained pursuant to this Agreement, or (y) any director or officer of the Company from any liability associated with his or her fiduciary duties to the Company. Nothing in this Agreement shall preclude or create an obligation or duty restricting Deerfield, TCG Funds, or Venrock Funds, as applicable, from evaluating or purchasing securities, including publicly traded securities, of a particular enterprise, whether or not such enterprise has products or services which compete with those of the Company.
4.19 Termination of Covenants. Other than the covenants contained in Sections 4.15-4.17, all covenants of the Company contained in this Section 4 shall terminate upon the earlier of the closing of a Company Sale or the closing of an Initial Public Offering.
5. Confidentiality. Each Purchaser agrees that he, she or it will keep confidential and will not disclose, divulge or use for any purpose, other than to monitor its investment in the Company, any Confidential Information, unless such Confidential Information (a) is known or becomes known to the public in general (other than as a result of a breach of this Section 5 by such Purchaser), (b) is or has been independently developed or conceived by the Purchaser without use of the Company’s Confidential Information or (c) is or has been made known or disclosed to the Purchaser by a third party without a breach of any obligation of confidentiality such third party may have to the Company; provided, however, that a Purchaser may disclose Confidential Information (i) to its attorneys, accountants, consultants, and other professionals to the extent necessary to obtain their services in connection with monitoring its investment in the Company, (ii) to any prospective purchaser of any Shares from such Purchaser as long as such prospective purchaser agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section 5 and is not a pharmaceutical, biotechnology or medical device company, (iii) to any Affiliated Party of such Purchaser (other than an Affiliated Party that is a pharmaceutical, biotechnology or medical device company), provided that such party is obligated not to disclose, divulge or use any Confidential Information to the same extent as the Purchasers, or (iv) as may otherwise be required by law, provided that the Purchaser takes reasonable steps to minimize the extent of any such required disclosure. Any Purchaser that is an investment fund may also provide summary business and financial information and milestone information to its partners, members and investors, of the type typically provided to such partners, members and investors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such information shall not be deemed confidential for the
26
purpose of enforcing this Agreement. Each Purchaser further agrees that, except as required by law, he, she or it will not, without the prior consent of UC Regents, disclose the fact of UC Regents’ investment in the Company or any other relationship between UC Regents and the Company to persons or entities that are not Purchasers or agents or representatives of such Purchaser (including attorneys or accountants thereof).
6. Transfers of Rights; Calculation of Share Numbers.
6.1 Transfer of Rights. This Agreement, and the rights and obligations of each Purchaser hereunder, may be assigned by a Purchaser to (a) any person or entity who acquires at least 250,000 of such Purchaser’s Shares (subject to appropriate adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations, and similar events occurring after the date of this Agreement) or if the Purchaser owns less than 250,000 Shares (subject to appropriate adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations, and similar events occurring after the date of this Agreement), then to any person or entity who acquires all of such Purchaser’s Shares, or (b) to any Affiliated Party of such Purchaser, and, in each case, such transferee shall be deemed a “Purchaser” for purposes of this Agreement; provided that such assignment of rights shall be contingent upon the transferee providing a written instrument to the Company notifying the Company of such transfer and assignment and agreeing in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement; and provided further that in no event shall the rights under Section 4.7 and 4.8 be assigned to a pharmaceutical, biotechnology or medical device company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any person or entity to which any Shares or Registrable Shares are transferred by a Purchaser, whether voluntarily or by operation of law, shall be bound by the obligations under Section 2.8 to the same extent as if such transferee were a Purchaser hereunder and no Purchaser shall transfer any Shares or Registrable Shares unless the transferee provides a written instrument to the Company notifying the Company of such transfer and agreeing in writing to be bound by the terms of Section 2.8.
6.2 Calculation of Share Numbers. In determining the number of Shares owned by a Purchaser for purposes of exercising rights under this Agreement, (a) Shares owned by a Purchaser shall be deemed to include Shares that have been converted into Common Stock so long as such Common Stock is owned by such Purchaser, (b) all Shares held by affiliated entities or persons shall be aggregated together (provided that no shares shall be attributed to more than one entity or person within any such group of affiliated entities or persons) and (c) all Shares issuable to a Purchaser upon exercise of a Warrant shall be deemed owned by such Purchaser.
7. General.

27
7.3 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as to matters within the scope thereof, and the internal laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts (without reference to the conflicts of law provisions thereof), as to all other matters.
7.4 Notices. All notices, requests, consents and other communications under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed delivered (i) three business days after being sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid or (ii) one business day after being sent via a reputable nationwide overnight courier service guaranteeing next business day delivery, in each case to the intended recipient as set forth below:
If to the Company, at 000 Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxxxxxxxx, XX 00000, Attention: President, or at such other address as may have been furnished in writing by the Company to the other parties hereto, with a copy to WilmerHale, 00 Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxx, XX 00000, Attention: Lia Der Xxxxxxxxxxx, Esq.; or
If to S.R. One, Limited, at its address set forth on Exhibit A, or at such other address as may have been furnished in writing by S.R. One, Limited to the other parties hereto, with a copy to Xxxxxx LLP, 000 Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxx, XX, 00000-0000, Attention: Xxxxxxxxx X. Plaza, Esq.; or

Any party may give any notice, request, consent or other communication under this Agreement using any other means (including, without limitation, personal delivery, messenger service, telecopy, first class mail or electronic mail), but no such notice, request, consent or other communication shall be deemed to have been duly given unless and until it is actually received by the party for whom it is intended. Any party may change the address to which notices, requests, consents or other communications hereunder are to be delivered by giving the other parties notice in the manner set forth in this Section 7.4.
7.5 Complete Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings relating to such subject matter, including, without limitation, the Series E-1 Investor Rights Agreement.
7.6 Amendments and Waivers. This Agreement may be amended or terminated and the observance of any term of this Agreement may be waived with respect to all parties to this Agreement (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively), with the written consent of the Company and Purchasers holding Shares representing at least a majority of the voting power of all Shares then held by Purchasers (assuming the exercise of all Warrants for shares of Common Stock); provided that any amendment, termination or waiver to the terms of Section 2 (or a defined term used therein) that occurs after the closing of the Initial Public Offering shall instead require the written consent of
28
the Company and Purchasers holding Registrable Shares representing at least 50% of the voting power of all Registrable Shares then held by all Purchasers, and any amendment, waiver, discharge or termination of Section 4.18, or this Section 7.6 as expressly related to Deerfield, TCG Funds, or Venrock Funds, shall require the prior written consent of Deerfield, TCG Funds, or Venrock Funds, as applicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may not be amended or terminated and the observance of any term hereunder may not be waived with respect to any Purchaser without the written consent of such Purchaser unless such amendment, termination or waiver applies to all Purchasers in the same fashion (it being agreed that a waiver of the provisions of Section 3 with respect to a particular transaction shall be deemed to apply to all Major Investors in the same fashion if such waiver does so by its terms, notwithstanding the fact that certain Major Investors may nonetheless, by agreement with the Company, purchase securities in such transaction) without the consent of the other parties hereto, provided that, if the rights of all Major Investors under Section 3 are waived with respect to a particular transaction without the consent of all Major Investors, and some but not all Major Investors purchase securities in such transaction, the Major Investors who did not consent to the waiver and did not purchase securities in the transaction shall be offered the opportunity to exercise their rights under Section 3 with respect to such transaction within 30 days of the closing of such transaction. The Company shall give prompt written notice of any amendment or termination hereof or waiver hereunder to any party hereto that did not consent in writing to such amendment, termination or waiver. Any amendment, termination or waiver effected in accordance with this Section 7.6 shall be binding on all parties hereto, even if they do not execute such consent. No waivers of or exceptions to any term, condition or provision of this Agreement, in any one or more instances, shall be deemed to be, or construed as, a further or continuing waiver of any such term, condition or provision.
7.7 Pronouns. Whenever the context may require, any pronouns used in this Agreement shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine or neuter forms, and the singular form of nouns and pronouns shall include the plural, and vice versa.
7.8 Counterparts; Facsimile Signatures. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which together shall constitute one and the same document. This Agreement may be executed by facsimile signatures.
7.9 Section Headings and References. The section headings are for the convenience of the parties and in no way alter, modify, amend, limit or restrict the contractual obligations of the parties.

“Registrable Shares” means (a) the shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon conversion of the Shares, (b) any other shares of Common Stock, and any shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon the conversion or exercise of any other securities of the Company, held by the Investors as of the date hereof, and (c) any other shares of Common Stock issued in respect of such shares (because of stock splits, stock dividends, reclassifications, recapitalizations or similar events); provided, however, that shares of Common Stock which are Registrable Shares shall cease to be Registrable Shares (i) upon any sale pursuant to a Registration Statement or Rule 144 under the Securities Act or (ii) upon any sale in any manner to a person or entity which is not entitled, pursuant to Section 6, to the rights under this Agreement or (iii) at such time, following an Initial Public Offering, as they become eligible for sale pursuant to Rule 144(b)(1)(i) under the Securities Act. Wherever reference is made in this Agreement to a request or consent of holders of a certain percentage of Registrable Shares, the determination of such percentage shall include shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Shares (including Shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding Warrants) even if such conversion has not been effected.
2. Governing Law. This Amendment shall be governed by the internal law of the State of Delaware.
3. Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in two (2) or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Counterparts may be delivered via facsimile, electronic mail (including pdf or any electronic signature complying with the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000, e.g., xxx.xxxxxxxx.xxx) or other transmission method and any counterpart so delivered shall be deemed to have been duly and validly delivered and be valid and effective for all purposes.
4. Entire Agreement. The XXX (including the Exhibits thereto), as supplemented and modified by this Amendment, the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation, the Fifth Amended and Restated Stockholders’ Voting Agreement, and Fifth Amended and Restated Right of First Refusal and Co-Sale Agreement constitute the full and entire understanding and agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and any other written or oral agreement relating to the subject matter hereof existing between the parties is expressly cancelled.
5. Remaining Provisions of the XXX. Except as provided herein, each of the other provisions of the XXX shall remain in full force and effect.
6. References. Upon the effectiveness of this Amendment, on and after the date hereof, each reference in the XXX to “this Agreement,” “hereunder,” “hereof,” “herein” or words of like import shall mean and be a reference to the XXX, as amended hereby.
