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.

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

(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.

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
(iii) for each Major Investor, the date on which such Major Investor no longer satisfies the definition of “Major Investor.”
3.6 The right of first offer granted under this Section 3 may be assigned by a Major Investor to any transferee of such Major Investor’s shares of Series AA Preferred Stock, Series BB Preferred Stock, Series CC Preferred Stock, Series DD Preferred Stock, Series AA Investors Common Shares, Conversion Stock, or Common Stock issued upon conversion of Prior Preferred who holds, post-transfer, in excess of 100,000 shares of Common Stock (assuming conversion of all New Preferred Stock and as adjusted for stock splits, recapitalizations or the like), to any affiliate constituent or retired partner of such Major Investor, to an affiliated limited partnership, a limited partner, or general partner or other affiliates of such Major Investor or to any subsidiary or parent of a corporate Major Investor; provided such transferee agrees in writing to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Rights Agreement.
3.7 The Company will grant the Major Investors any rights of first offer or registration rights granted to subsequent purchasers of the Company’s equity securities to the extent that such subsequent rights are superior, in the good faith judgment of the Company’s Board of Directors, to those granted in connection with this transaction.

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.
