2. Restrictive Legend. Each certificate representing Preferred Shares

Section 3, be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend substantially in the
following form:
-2-
"The securities represented by this certificate have not been
registered under the Securities Act of 1933 or applicable state
securities laws. These securities have been acquired for investment
and not with a view to distribution or resale, and may not be sold,
mortgaged, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise transferred without an
effective registration statement for such securities under the
Securities Act of 1933 and applicable state securities laws, or the
availability of an exemption from the registration provisions of the
Securities Act of 1933 and applicable state securities laws."
A certificate shall not bear such legend if in the opinion of counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the Company (it being agreed that Xxxxx, Xxxxxxx & Xxxxxxxxx,
LLP, Xxxxxx Xxxxxx White & XxXxxxxxx LLP or Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxxxx
Xxxxxxxx & Xxxxxxxxx, LLP shall be satisfactory) the securities represented
thereby may be publicly sold without registration under the Securities Act and
any applicable state securities laws.
3. Notice of Proposed Transfer. Prior to any proposed transfer of any
Preferred Shares or Conversion Shares (other than under the circumstances
described in Sections 4, 5 or 6), the holder thereof shall give written notice
to the Company of its intention to effect such transfer. Each such notice shall
describe the manner of the proposed transfer and, if requested by the Company,
shall be accompanied by an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the
Company (it being agreed that Xxxxx, Xxxxxxx & Xxxxxxxxx, LLP, Xxxxxx Xxxxxx
White & XxXxxxxxx LLP, Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx & Xxxxxxxxx,
LLP or Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Esq. shall be satisfactory) to the effect that the proposed
transfer may be effected without registration under the Securities Act and any
applicable state securities laws, whereupon the holder of such stock shall be
entitled to transfer such stock in accordance with the terms of its notice;
provided, however, that no such opinion of counsel shall be required for a
transfer to one or more partners, members or affiliates of the transferor (in
the case of a transferor that is a partnership or a limited liability company,
respectively) or to an affiliated corporation (in the case of a transferor that
is a corporation) or to a venture capital fund under common investment
management; provided, further, however, that any transferee other than a
partner, member or affiliate of, or a venture capital fund under common
investment management with, the transferor shall execute and deliver to the
Company a representation letter in form reasonably satisfactory to the Company's
counsel to the effect that the transferee is acquiring restricted stock for its
own account for investment purposes and without any view to distribution
thereof. Each certificate for Preferred Shares or Conversion Shares transferred
as above provided shall bear the legend set forth in Section 2, except that such
certificate shall not bear such legend if (i) such transfer is in accordance
with the provisions of Rule 144 (or any other rule permitting public sale
without registration under the Securities Act) or (ii) the opinion of counsel
referred to above is to the further effect that the transferee and any
subsequent transferee (other than an affiliate of the Company) would be entitled
to transfer such securities in a public sale without registration under the
Securities Act. The restrictions provided for in this Section 3 shall not apply
to securities which are not required to bear the legend prescribed by Section 2
in accordance with the provisions of that Section.
-3-
4. Required Registration. (a) At any time after the earliest of (i) six
months after any registration statement covering a public offering of securities
of the Company under the Securities Act shall have become effective, (ii) six
months after the Company shall have become a reporting company under Section 12
of the Exchange Act, and (iii) June 30, 2006, the holders of Restricted Stock
constituting at least 20% of the total shares of Restricted Stock then
outstanding may request the Company to register under the Securities Act all or
any portion of the shares of Restricted Stock held by such requesting holder or
holders for sale in the manner specified in such notice, provided that the
shares of Restricted Stock for which registration has been requested shall
constitute at least 10% of the total shares of Restricted Stock originally
issued if such holder or holders shall request the registration of less than all
shares of Restricted Stock then held by such holder or holders (or any lesser
percentage if the reasonably anticipated aggregate price to the public of such
public offering would exceed $5,000,000). For purposes of this Section 4 and
Sections 5, 6, 14(a) and 14(d), the term "Restricted Stock" shall be deemed to
include the number of shares of Restricted Stock which would be issuable to a
holder of Preferred Shares upon conversion of all Preferred Shares held by such
holder at such time, provided, however, that the only securities which the
Company shall be required to register pursuant hereto shall be shares of Common
Stock, and provided, further, however, that, in any underwritten public offering
contemplated by this Section 4 or Sections 5 and 6, the holders of Preferred
Shares shall be entitled to sell such Preferred Shares to the underwriters for
conversion and sale of the shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion
thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no request
may be made under this Section 4 within 180 days after the effective date of a
registration statement filed by the Company covering a firm commitment
underwritten public offering in which the holders of Restricted Stock shall have
been entitled to join pursuant to Sections 5 or 6 and in which there shall have
been effectively registered all shares of Restricted Stock as to which
registration shall have been requested.
(b) Following receipt of any notice under this Section 4, the
Company shall immediately notify all holders of Restricted Stock from whom
notice has not been received and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to
register under the Securities Act, for public sale in accordance with the method
of disposition specified in such notice from requesting holders, the number of
shares of Restricted Stock specified in such notice (and in all notices received
by the Company from other holders within 30 days after the giving of such notice
by the Company). If such method of disposition shall be an underwritten public
offering, the Company shall designate the managing underwriter of such offering,
subject to the approval of the holders of a majority of the shares of Restricted
Stock to be sold in such offering, which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed. The Company shall be obligated to register Restricted Stock
pursuant to this Section 4 on four occasions only, provided, however, that such
obligation shall be deemed satisfied only when a registration statement covering
all shares of Restricted Stock specified in notices received as aforesaid, for
sale in accordance with the method of disposition specified by the requesting
holders, shall have become effective and, if such method of disposition is a
firm commitment underwritten public offering, all such shares shall have been
sold pursuant thereto.
(c) The Company shall be entitled to include in any registration
statement referred to in this Section 4, for sale in accordance with the method
of disposition specified by
-4-
the requesting holders, shares of Common Stock to be sold by the Company for its
own account, except as and to the extent that, in the opinion of the managing
underwriter (if such method of disposition shall be an underwritten public
offering), such inclusion would adversely affect the marketing of the Restricted
Stock to be sold. Except for registration statements on Form X-0, X-0 or any
successor thereto, the Company will not file with the Commission any other
registration statement with respect to its Common Stock, whether for its own
account or that of other stockholders, from the date of receipt of a notice from
requesting holders pursuant to this Section 4 until the completion of the period
of distribution of the registration contemplated thereby.
5. Incidental Registration. If the Company at any time (other than
pursuant to Section 4 or Section 6) proposes to register any of its securities
under the Securities Act for sale to the public, whether for its own account or
for the account of other security holders or both (except with respect to
registration statements on Forms X-0, X-0 or another form not available for
registering the Restricted Stock for sale to the public), each such time it will
give written notice to all holders of outstanding Restricted Stock of its
intention so to do. Upon the written request of any such holder, received by the
Company within 30 days after the giving of any such notice by the Company, to
register any of its Restricted Stock, the Company will use commercially
reasonable efforts to cause the Restricted Stock as to which registration shall
have been so requested to be included in the securities to be covered by the
registration statement proposed to be filed by the Company, all to the extent
requisite to permit the sale or other disposition by the holder of such
Restricted Stock so registered. In the event that any registration pursuant to
this Section 5 shall be, in whole or in part, an underwritten public offering of
Common Stock, the number of shares of Restricted Stock to be included in such an
underwriting may be reduced (pro rata among the requesting holders based upon
the number of shares of Restricted Stock owned by such holders) if and to the
extent that the managing underwriter shall be of the opinion that such inclusion
would adversely affect the marketing of the securities to be sold by the Company
therein, provided, however, that such number of shares of Restricted Stock shall
not be reduced if any shares are to be included in such underwriting for the
account of any person other than the Company or requesting holders of Restricted
Stock, and provided, further, however, that in no event (except for in
connection with the initial public offering of Common Stock) may less than
one-fourth of the total number of shares of Common Stock to be included in such
underwriting be made available for shares of Restricted Stock. Notwithstanding
the foregoing provisions, the Company may withdraw any registration statement
referred to in this Section 5 without thereby incurring any liability to the
holders of Restricted Stock.
6. Registration on Form S-3. (a) If at any time (i) a holder or holders
of Preferred Shares or Restricted Stock request that the Company file a
registration statement on Form S-3 or any successor thereto for a public
offering of all or any portion of the shares of Restricted Stock held by such
requesting holder or holders, the reasonably anticipated aggregate price to the
public of which would exceed $1,000,000, and (ii) the Company is a registrant
entitled to use Form S-3 or any successor thereto to register such shares, then
the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to register under the
Securities Act on Form S-3 or any successor thereto, for public sale in
accordance with the method of disposition specified in such notice, the number
of shares of Restricted Stock specified in such notice. Whenever the Company is
required by this
-5-
Section 6 to use commercially reasonable efforts to effect the registration of
Restricted Stock, each of the procedures and requirements of Section 4
(including but not limited to the requirement that the Company notify all
holders of Restricted Stock from whom notice has not been received and provide
them with the opportunity to participate in the offering) shall apply to such
registration, provided, however, that the maximum number of registrations on
Form S-3 which may be requested and obtained under this Section 6 shall be two
(2) per any twelve (12) month period during the five year period after the
Company qualifies as a registrant entitled to use Form S-3 to register such
shares and an aggregate maximum of ten (10) such registrations, provided,
further, however, that the requirements contained in the first sentence of
Section 4(a) shall not apply to any registration on Form S-3 which may be
requested and obtained under this Section 6 and provided, further, however, the
registration rights of a holder or holders of Preferred Shares or Restricted
Stock under this Section 6 shall not apply if all of such Preferred Shares or
Restricted Stock held by such holder or holders may be sold under Rule 144
during any ninety (90) day period, it being understood that the registration
rights of such holder or holders under this Section 6 shall, subject to any
other limitations described in this Section 6, apply once again at such time as
all of such Preferred Shares or Restricted Stock held by such holder or holders
may no longer be sold under Rule 144 during any ninety (90) day period.
(b) At any time after the Company is a registrant entitled to use
Form S-3 or any successor thereto to register such shares then, in the event
that Form S-3 or any successor thereto is unavailable for any registration of
the Restricted Stock hereunder, the Company (i) shall register the sale of the
Restricted Stock on another appropriate form and (ii) undertake to register the
Restricted Stock on Form S-3 or any successor thereto as soon as such form is
available, provided that the Company shall maintain the effectiveness of the
Registration Statement then in effect until such time as a Registration
Statement on Form S-3 covering the Restricted Stock has been declared effective
by the Commission.
7. Registration Procedures. If and whenever the Company is required by
the provisions of Sections 4, 5 or 6 to use commercially reasonable efforts to
effect the registration of any shares of Restricted Stock under the Securities
Act, the Company will, as expeditiously as possible:
(a) prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement
(which, in the case of an underwritten public offering pursuant to Section 4,
shall be on Form S-1 or other form of general applicability satisfactory to the
managing underwriter selected as therein provided) with respect to such
securities and use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration
statement to become and remain effective for the period of the distribution
contemplated thereby (determined as hereinafter provided);
(b) prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and
supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection
therewith as may be necessary to keep such registration statement effective for
the period specified in paragraph (a) above and comply with the provisions of
the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all Restricted Stock
covered by such registration statement in accordance with the sellers' intended
method of disposition set forth in such registration statement for such period;
-6-
(c) furnish to each seller of Restricted Stock and to each
underwriter such number of copies of the registration statement and the
prospectus included therein (including each preliminary prospectus and amendment
thereto) as such persons reasonably may request in order to facilitate the
public sale or other disposition of the Restricted Stock covered by such
registration statement;
(d) use commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify the
Restricted Stock covered by such registration statement under the securities or
"blue sky" laws of such jurisdictions as the sellers of Restricted Stock or, in
the case of an underwritten public offering, the managing underwriter reasonably
shall request, provided, however, that the Company shall not for any such
purpose be required to qualify generally to transact business as a foreign
corporation in any jurisdiction where it is not so qualified or to consent to
general service of process in any such jurisdiction;
(e) use commercially reasonable efforts to list the Restricted Stock
covered by such registration statement with any securities exchange on which the
Common Stock of the Company is then listed;
(f) immediately notify each seller of Restricted Stock and each
underwriter under such registration statement, at any time when a prospectus
relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the
happening of any event of which the Company has knowledge as a result of which
the prospectus contained in such registration statement, as then in effect,
includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein
not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing, and each Purchaser
hereby covenants and agrees, upon receipt of such notification, to discontinue
disposition of Restricted Shares pursuant to such registration statement until
the time of effectiveness of an amendment thereto or a supplement to such
prospectus included therein as may be necessary so that, as thereafter delivered
to the purchasers of such Restricted Shares, such prospectus shall not include
an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required
to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading
in light of the circumstances then existing;
(g) if the offering is underwritten and at the request of any seller
of Restricted Stock, use commercially reasonable efforts to furnish on the date
that Restricted Stock is delivered to the underwriters for sale pursuant to such
registration: (i) an opinion dated such date of counsel representing the Company
for the purposes of such registration, addressed to the underwriters and to such
seller, stating that such registration statement has become effective under the
Securities Act and that (A) to the best knowledge of such counsel, no stop order
suspending the effectiveness thereof has been issued and no proceedings for that
purpose have been instituted or are pending or contemplated under the Securities
Act, (B) the registration statement, the related prospectus and each amendment
or supplement thereof comply as to form in all material respects with the
requirements of the Securities Act (except that such counsel need not express
any opinion as to financial statements contained therein) and (C) to such other
effects as reasonably may be requested by counsel for the underwriters or by
such seller or its counsel
-7-
and (ii) a letter dated such date from the independent public accountants
retained by the Company, addressed to the underwriters and to such seller,
stating that they are independent public accountants within the meaning of the
Securities Act and that, in the opinion of such accountants, the financial
statements of the Company included in the registration statement or the
prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereof, comply as to form in all
material respects with the applicable accounting requirements of the Securities
Act, and such letter shall additionally cover such other financial matters
(including information as to the period ending no more than five business days
prior to the date of such letter) with respect to such registration as such
underwriters reasonably may request; and
(h) make available for inspection by each seller of Restricted
Stock, any underwriter participating in any distribution pursuant to such
registration statement, and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by
such seller or underwriter, all financial and other records, pertinent corporate
documents and properties of the Company, and cause the Company's officers,
directors and employees to supply all information reasonably requested by any
such seller, underwriter, attorney, accountant or agent in connection with such
registration statement.
For purposes of Section 7(a) and 7(b) and of Section 4(c), the period of
distribution of Restricted Stock in a firm commitment underwritten public
offering shall be deemed to extend until each underwriter has completed the
distribution of all securities purchased by it, and the period of distribution
of Restricted Stock in any other registration shall be deemed to extend until
the earlier of the sale of all Restricted Stock covered thereby and 120 days
after the effective date thereof.
In connection with each registration hereunder, the sellers of Restricted
Stock will furnish to the Company in writing such information with respect to
themselves and the proposed distribution by them as reasonably shall be
necessary in order to assure compliance with federal and applicable state
securities laws and to make the registration statement correct, accurate and
complete in all material respects with respect to such sellers' participating in
the offering; provided, however, that this requirement shall not be deemed to
limit any disclosure obligation arising out of any seller's relationship to the
Company if one of such seller's agents or affiliates is an officer, director or
control person of the Company. In addition, in connection with any underwritten
registration, the sellers shall, if requested by the Company, execute such other
underwriting related agreements, which are reasonably satisfactory to them and
which shall contain such provisions as may be customary and reasonable in order
to accomplish the registration of the Restricted Stock.
In connection with each registration pursuant to Sections 4, 5 or 6
covering an underwritten public offering, the Company and each seller agree to
enter into a written agreement with the managing underwriter selected in the
manner herein provided in such form and containing such provisions as are
customary in the securities business for such an arrangement between such
underwriter and companies of the Company's size and investment stature.
8. Expenses. All expenses incurred by the Company in complying with
Sections 4, 5 and 6, including, without limitation, all registration and filing
fees, printing expenses, fees and
-8-
disbursements of counsel and independent public accountants for the Company,
fees and expenses (including counsel fees for one counsel of the holders of
Restricted Stock) incurred in connection with complying with state securities or
"blue sky" laws, fees of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.,
transfer taxes, fees of transfer agents and registrars, costs of insurance and
fees and disbursements of one counsel for the sellers of Restricted Stock, but
excluding any Selling Expenses, are called "Registration Expenses". All
underwriting discounts and selling commissions applicable to the sale of
Restricted Stock are called "Selling Expenses".
The Company will pay all Registration Expenses in connection with each
registration statement under Sections 4, 5 or 6. All Selling Expenses in
connection with each registration statement under Sections 4, 5 or 6 shall be
borne by the participating sellers in proportion to the number of shares sold by
each, or by such participating sellers other than the Company (except to the
extent the Company shall be a seller) as they may agree.
9. Indemnification and Contribution. (a) In the event of a registration
of any of the Restricted Stock under the Securities Act pursuant to Sections 4,
5 or 6, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each seller of such
Restricted Stock thereunder, each underwriter of such Restricted Stock
thereunder and each other person, if any, who controls such seller or
underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act, against any losses,
claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such seller,
underwriter or controlling person may become subject under the Securities Act or
otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in
respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement of any material fact contained in any registration statement
under which such Restricted Stock was registered under the Securities Act
pursuant to Sections 4, 5 or 6, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus
contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereof, or arise out of or
are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading, and will reimburse each such seller, each such underwriter and each
such controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by
them 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 if and to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or
liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement or omission or alleged omission so made in conformity with information
furnished by any such seller, any such underwriter or any such controlling
person in writing specifically for use in such registration statement or
prospectus.
(b) In the event of a registration of any of the Restricted Stock
under the Securities Act pursuant to Sections 4, 5 or 6, each seller of such
Restricted Stock thereunder, severally and not jointly, will indemnify and hold
harmless the Company, each person, if any, who controls the Company within the
meaning of the Securities Act, each officer of the Company who signs the
registration statement, each director of the Company, each underwriter and each
person who controls any underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act,
against all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which
the Company or such officer, director, underwriter or controlling person may
become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses,
claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof)
-9-
arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement
of any material fact contained in the registration statement under which such
Restricted Stock was registered under the Securities Act pursuant to Sections 4,
5 or 6, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein, or any
amendment or supplement thereof, or arise out of or are based upon the omission
or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and will
reimburse the Company and each such officer, director, underwriter and
controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them
in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage,
liability or action, provided, however, that such seller will be liable
hereunder in any such case if and only to the extent that any such loss, claim,
damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in reliance upon
and in conformity with information pertaining to such seller, as such, furnished
in writing to the Company by such seller specifically for use in such
registration statement or prospectus or preliminary amendment or supplement
thereof, and provided, further, however, that the liability of each seller
hereunder shall be limited to the net proceeds received by such seller from the
sale of Restricted Stock covered by such registration statement.
(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party hereunder of
notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a
claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party hereunder,
notify the indemnifying party in writing thereof, but the omission so to notify
the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have
to such indemnified party other than under this Section 9 and shall only relieve
it from any liability which it may have to such indemnified party under this
Section 9 if and to the extent the indemnifying party is prejudiced by such
omission. In case any such action shall be brought against any indemnified party
and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the
indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in and, to the extent it
shall wish, to assume and undertake the defense thereof with counsel
satisfactory to such indemnified party, and, after notice from the indemnifying
party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume and undertake the
defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified
party under this Section 9 for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by such
indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof, provided, however,
that, if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party
and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably
concluded that there may be reasonable defenses available to it which are
different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party or if
the interests of the indemnified party reasonably may be deemed to conflict with
the interests of the indemnifying party, the indemnified party shall have the
right to select a separate counsel and to assume such legal defenses and
otherwise to participate in the defense of such action, with the expenses and
fees of such separate counsel and other expenses related to such participation
to be reimbursed by the indemnifying party as incurred.
(d) In order to provide for just and equitable contribution to joint
liability under the Securities Act in any case in which either (i) any holder of
Restricted Stock exercising rights under this Agreement, or any controlling
person of any such holder, makes a claim for indemnification pursuant to this
Section 9 but it is judicially determined (by the entry of a final
-10-
judgment or decree by a court of competent jurisdiction and the expiration of
time to appeal or the denial of the last right of appeal) that such
indemnification may not be enforced in such case notwithstanding the fact that
this Section 9 provides for indemnification in such case, or (ii) contribution
under the Securities Act may be required on the part of any such selling holder
or any such controlling person in circumstances for which indemnification is
provided under this Section 9; then, and in each such case, the Company and such
holder will contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages or liabilities
to which they may be subject (after contribution from others) in such proportion
so that such holder is responsible for the portion represented by the percentage
that the public offering price of its Restricted Stock offered by the
registration statement bears to the public offering price of all securities
offered by such registration statement, and the Company is responsible for the
remaining portion; provided, however, that, in any such case, (A) no such holder
will be required to contribute any amount in excess of the net proceeds received
by such holder from the sale of all such Restricted Stock offered by it pursuant
to such registration statement; and (B) no person or entity guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act)
will be entitled to contribution from any person or entity who was not guilty of
such fraudulent misrepresentation.
10. Changes in Common Stock or Preferred Stock. If, and as often as,
there is any change in the Common Stock or the Preferred Stock by way of a stock
split, stock dividend, combination or reclassification, or through a merger,
consolidation, reorganization or recapitalization, or by any other means,
appropriate adjustment shall be made in the provisions hereof so that the rights
and privileges granted hereby shall continue with respect to the Common Stock or
the Preferred Stock as so changed.
11. 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 Restricted Stock to the public without registration, at all times
after 90 days after any registration statement covering a public offering of
securities of the Company under the Securities Act shall have become effective,
the Company agrees to:
(a) make and keep public information available, as those terms are
understood and defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act;
(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; and
(c) furnish to each holder of Restricted Stock forthwith upon
request a written statement by the Company as to its compliance with the
reporting requirements of such Rule 144 and of the Securities Act and the
Exchange Act, a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the
Company, and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company as such
holder may reasonably request in availing itself of any rule or regulation of
the Commission allowing such holder to sell any Restricted Stock without
registration.

limitation transferees of any Preferred Shares or Restricted Stock), whether so
expressed or not, provided, however, that registration rights conferred herein
on the holders of Preferred Shares or Restricted Stock shall only inure to the

transferred to such transferee at least 10% of the total shares of Restricted
Stock originally issued to the direct or indirect transferor of such transferee
and such transferee is not primarily engaged in any business (other than the
Company) that competes in any material way with the products or services being

in writing to the Company (in the case of a holder of Preferred Shares or
Restricted Stock) or to the holders of Preferred Shares or Restricted Stock (in
the case of the Company) in accordance with the provisions of this paragraph.
(c) This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance
with the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Each of the parties hereto
hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consents to submit to the non-exclusive
jurisdiction of the courts of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and of the
United States of America, located in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, for any
action, proceeding or investigation in any court or before any governmental
authority ("Litigation") arising out of or relating to this Agreement and the
transactions contemplated hereby, and further agrees that service of any
process, summons, notice or document by U.S. registered mail to its respective
address set forth in this Agreement shall be effective service of process for
any Litigation brought against it in any such court. Each of the parties hereto
hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of
venue of any Litigation arising out of this Agreement or the transactions
contemplated hereby in the courts of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts or the
United States of America, located in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and
hereby further irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or
claim in any such court that any such Litigation brought in any such court has
been brought in an inconvenient forum. Each of the parties irrevocably and
unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any
and all rights to trial by jury in connection with any Litigation arising out of
or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.
(d) This Agreement may not be amended or modified, and no provision
hereof may be waived, without the written consent of the Company and the holders
holding at least two-thirds of the then-outstanding shares of Restricted Stock.
(e) This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each
of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute
one and the same instrument.
-13-
(f) The obligations of the Company to register shares of Restricted
Stock under Sections 4, 5 or 6 shall: (i) with respect to any holder of
Restricted Stock, not apply at any time that all Restricted Stock held by such
holder may be sold under Rule 144 during any ninety (90) day period, provided
that such obligations will once again apply at such time as all of such
Preferred Shares or Restricted Stock may no longer be sold under Rule 144 during
any ninety (90) day period, and (ii) in any event, terminate on the tenth
anniversary of the date of this Agreement.
(g) If requested in writing by the underwriters for the initial
underwritten public offering of securities of the Company, each holder of
Restricted Stock shall agree not to sell publicly any shares of Restricted Stock
or any other shares of Common Stock (other than shares of Restricted Stock or
other shares of Common Stock being registered in such offering), without the
consent of such underwriters, for a period of not more than 180 days following
the effective date of the registration statement relating to such offering;
provided, however, that all persons entitled to registration rights with respect
to shares of Common Stock who are not parties to this Agreement, all other
persons selling shares of Common Stock in such offering, all persons (other than
persons otherwise party to this Agreement) holding in excess of 1% of the then
outstanding Common Stock of the Company (assuming the exercise or conversion of
all exercisable or convertible securities) and all executive officers and
directors of the Company shall also have agreed not to sell publicly their
Common Stock under the circumstances and pursuant to the terms set forth in this
Section 14(g).
(h) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 7(a), the Company's
obligation to file a registration statement pursuant to Section 4 or 6 hereof,
or cause such registration statement to become and remain effective, may be
suspended one time for a period not to exceed 90 days in any 18-month period if
there exists at the time material non-public information relating to the
Company, the disclosure of which, in the reasonable opinion of the Company,
would be detrimental to the Company.
(i) Without the prior consent of the holders holding a majority of
the outstanding shares of Restricted Stock held by all of the holders, the
Company shall not grant to any third party any registration rights more
favorable than or inconsistent with any of those contained herein, so long as
any of the registration rights under this Agreement remains in effect.
(j) If any provision of this Agreement shall be held to be illegal,
invalid or unenforceable, such illegality, invalidity or unenforceability shall
attach only to such provision and shall not in any manner affect or render
illegal, invalid or unenforceable any other provision of this Agreement, and
this Agreement shall be carried out as if any such illegal, invalid or
unenforceable provision were not contained herein.
(k) In addition to any and all other remedies that may be available
at law in the event of any breach of this Agreement, each Purchaser shall be
entitled to specific performance of the agreements and obligations of the
Company hereunder and to such other injunctive or other equitable relief as may
be granted by a court of competent jurisdiction.
