(c) Any legend endorsed on an instrument pursuant to applicable state securities laws and the stop-transfer instructions with respect to such securities shall be removed upon receipt by the Company of an order of the appropriate blue-sky authority authorizing such removal.
2.2 Demand Registration.
(a) Subject to the conditions of this Section 2.2, if the Company shall receive at any time after the earlier of (i) January 15, 2008, or (ii) six (6) months after the effective date of the Company’s initial public offering of its securities pursuant to a registration filed under the Securities Act, a written request from Holders of at least twenty-five percent (25%) of the Registrable Securities (“Initiating Holders”) that the Company file a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the registration of Registrable Securities with an anticipated aggregate offering price to the public, net of underwriting discounts and commissions, in excess of $20,000,000 (a “Qualified IPO”), then the Company shall, within thirty (30) days of the receipt thereof, give written notice of such request to all Holders, and subject to the limitations of this Section 2.2, use its best efforts to effect, as soon as practicable, the registration under the Securities Act of all Registrable Securities that the Holders request to be registered.
(b) If the Initiating Holders intend to distribute the Registrable Securities covered by their request by means of an underwriting, they shall so advise the Company as a part of their request made pursuant to this Section 2.2 and the Company shall include such information in the written notice referred to in Section 2.2(a). In such event, the right of any Holder to include its Registrable Securities in such registration shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting (unless otherwise mutually agreed by a majority in interest of the Initiating Holders and such Holder) to the extent provided herein. All Holders proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting by the Initiating
XxxxXxxxx.xxx, Inc.

Holders (which underwriter or underwriters shall be of nationally recognized standing and reasonably acceptable to the Company). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.2, if the underwriter advises the Company that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of securities to be underwritten (including Registrable Securities) then the Company shall so advise all Holders of Registrable Securities which would otherwise be underwritten pursuant hereto, and the number of shares that may be included in the underwriting shall be allocated to the Holders of such Registrable Securities on a pro rata basis based on the total number of Registrable Securities held by such Holders (including the Initiating Holders). Any Registrable Securities excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting shall be withdrawn from the registration.
(c) The Company shall not be required to effect a registration pursuant to this Section 2.2:
(i) after the Company has effected two (2) registrations pursuant to this Section 2.2, and such registration has been declared or ordered effective; or
(ii) during the period starting with the date ninety (90) days prior to the filing of, and ending ninety (90) days following the effective date of a registration statement pertaining to an underwritten public offering of the Company’s securities unless such offering is the initial public offering of the Company’s securities, in which case, ending on a date one hundred eighty (180) days after the effective date of such registration subject to Section 2.3 hereof; provided that the Company is actively employing in good faith all reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective; or
(iii) if the Company shall furnish to Holders requesting a registration statement pursuant to this Section 2.2, a certificate signed by the President stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company, it would be seriously detrimental to the Company and its stockholders for such registration statement to be effected at such time, in which event the Company shall have the right to defer such filing for a period of not more than ninety (90) days after receipt of the request of the Initiating Holders; provided that such right to delay a request shall be exercised by the Company not more than once in any twenty-four (24) month period.
2.3 Piggyback Registrations. The Company shall notify all Holders of Registrable Securities in writing at least thirty (30) days prior to the filing of a registration statement under the Securities Act for purposes of a public offering of securities of the Company (including, but not limited to, registration statements relating to secondary offerings of securities of the Company, but excluding registration statements relating to employee benefit plans or with respect to corporate reorganizations or other transactions under Rule 145 of the Securities Act) and will afford each such Holder an opportunity to include in such registration statement all or part of such Registrable Securities held by such Holder. Each Holder desiring to include in any such registration statement all or any part of the Registrable Securities held by it shall, within fifteen (15) days after the above-described notice from the Company, so notify the Company in writing. Such notice shall state the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Securities by such Holder. If a Holder decides not to include all of its Registrable Securities in any
XxxxXxxxx.xxx, Inc.
- 5
registration statement thereafter filed by the Company, such Holder shall nevertheless continue to have the right to include any Registrable Securities in any subsequent registration statement or registration statements as may be filed by the Company with respect to offerings of its securities, all upon the terms and conditions set forth herein.
(a) Underwriting. If the registration statement under which the Company gives notice under this Section 2.3 is for an underwritten offering, the Company shall so advise the Holders of Registrable Securities. In such event, the right of any such Holder to be included in a registration pursuant to this Section 2.3 shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided herein. All Holders proposing to distribute their Registrable Securities through such underwriting shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting by the Company. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Agreement, if the underwriter determines in good faith that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten, the number of shares that may be included in the underwriting shall be allocated: first, to the Company; second to the Holders of such Registrable Securities on a pro rata basis based on the total number of Registrable Securities held by such Holders; and third, to any stockholder of the Company (other than a Holder) on a pro rata basis. No such reduction shall reduce the securities being offered by the Company for its own account to be included in the registration and underwriting; and, subject to the foregoing, in no event shall the amount of securities of the selling Holders included in the registration be reduced below twenty-five percent (25%) of the total amount of securities included in such registration, unless such offering is the Initial Offering and such registration does not include shares of any other selling stockholders, in which event any or all of the Registrable Securities of all Holders may be excluded in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence. In no event will shares of any other selling stockholder be included in such registration which would reduce the number of shares which may be included by all Holders without the written consent of Holders of not less than two-thirds (662/3%) of the Registrable Securities proposed to be sold in the offering. If any Holder disapproves of the terms of any such underwriting, such Holder may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company and the underwriter, delivered at least ten (10) business days prior to the effective date of the registration statement. Any Registrable Securities excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting shall be excluded and withdrawn from the registration. For any Holder which is a partnership or corporation, the partners, retired partners and stockholders of such Holder, or the estates and family members of any such partners and retired partners and any trusts for the benefit of any of the foregoing person shall be deemed to be a single “Holder,” and any pro rata reduction with respect to such “Holder” shall be based upon the aggregate amount of shares carrying registration rights owned by all entities and individuals included in such “Holder,” as defined in this sentence.
(b) Right to Terminate Registration. The Company shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under this Section 2.3 prior to the effectiveness of such registration whether or not any Holder has elected to include securities in such registration. The Registration Expenses of such withdrawn registration shall be borne by the Company in accordance with Section 2.5 hereof.

2.4 Form S-3 Registration. In case the Company shall receive from Holders of the Registrable Securities a written request or requests that the Company effect a registration on Form S-3 (or any successor to Form S-3) or any similar short-form registration statement and any related qualification or compliance with respect to all or a part of the Registrable Securities owned by such Holder or Holders, the Company will:
(a) promptly give written notice of the proposed registration, and any related qualification or compliance, to all other Holders of Registrable Securities; and
(b) as soon as practicable, effect such registration and all such qualifications and compliances as may be so requested and as would permit or facilitate the sale and distribution of all or such portion of such Holder’s or Holders’ Registrable Securities as are specified in such request, together with all or such portion of the Registrable Securities of any other Holder or Holders joining in such request as are specified in a written request given within fifteen (15) days after receipt of such written notice from the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to effect any such registration, qualification or compliance pursuant to this Section 2.4:
(i) if Form S-3 (or any successor or similar form) is not available for such offering by the Holders, or
(ii) if the Holders, together with the holders of any other securities of the Company entitled to inclusion in such registration, propose to sell Registrable Securities and such other securities (if any) at an aggregate price to the public of less than $1,000,000, or
(iii) if the Company shall have, within the twelve (12) month period preceding the date of such request, already effected two (2) registrations on Form S-3 for the Holders pursuant to this Section 2.4, or
(iv) if the Company shall furnish to the Holders a certificate signed by the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company, it would be seriously detrimental to the Company and its stockholders for such Form S-3 Registration to be effected at such time, in which event the Company shall have the right to defer the filing of the Form S-3 registration statement for a period of not more than ninety (90) days after receipt of the request of the Holder or Holders under this Section 2.4: provided, that such right to delay a request shall be exercised by the Company not more than once in any twelve (12) month period, or
(v) in any particular jurisdiction in which the Company would be required to qualify to do business or to execute a general consent to service of process in effecting such registration, qualification or compliance.
(c) Subject to the foregoing, the Company shall file a Form S-3 registration statement covering the Registrable Securities and other securities so requested to be registered as soon as practicable after receipt of the request or requests of the Holders.

earlier, until the Holder or Holders have completed the distribution related thereto. The Company shall not be required to file, cause to become effective or maintain the effectiveness of any registration statement that contemplates a distribution of securities on a delayed or continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act.
(b) Prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection with such registration statement as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement for the period set forth in paragraph (a) above.
(c) Furnish to the Holders such number of copies of a prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents as they may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of Registrable Securities owned by them.
(d) Use all reasonable efforts to register and qualify the securities covered by such registration statement under such other securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as shall be reasonably requested by the Holders, provided that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to qualify to do business or to file a general consent to service of process in any such states or jurisdictions.
(e) In the event of any underwritten public offering, enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary form, with the managing underwriter(s) of such offering. Each Holder participating in such underwriting shall also enter into and perform its obligations under such an agreement.
(f) Notify each Holder of Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing.
(g) Furnish, at the request of a majority in interest of the Holders participating in the registration, on the date that such Registrable Securities are delivered to the underwriters for sale, if such securities are being sold through underwriters, or, if such securities are not being sold through underwriters, on the date that the registration statement with respect to such securities becomes effective, (i) an opinion, dated as of such date, of the counsel representing the Company for the purposes of such registration, in form and substance as is customarily given to underwriters in an underwritten public offering and reasonably satisfactory to a majority in interest of the Holders requesting registration, addressed to the underwriters, if any, and to the Holders requesting registration of Registrable Securities and (ii) a letter dated as of such date, from the independent certified public accountants of the Company, in form and substance as is customarily given by independent certified public accountants to underwriters in an underwritten public offering and reasonably satisfactory to a majority in interest of the Holders requesting

registration, addressed to the underwriters, if any, and if permitted by applicable accounting standards, to the Holders requesting registration of Registrable Securities.
2.7 Termination of Registration Rights. All registration rights granted to a Holder under this Section 2 shall terminate and be of no further force and effect after the earlier of (i) five (5) years following the consummation of the Initial Offering or (ii) such time as Rule 144 or another similar exemption under the Securities Act is available for the sale of all of such Holder’s Registrable Securities during a three (3) month period without registration.
2.8 Delay of Registration; Furnishing Information.
(a) No Holder shall have any right to obtain or seek an injunction restraining or otherwise delaying any such registration as the result of any controversy that might arise with respect to the interpretation or implementation of this Section 2.
(b) It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to take any action pursuant to Sections 2.2, 2.3 or 2.4 that the selling Holders shall furnish to the Company such information regarding themselves, the Registrable Securities held by them and the intended method of disposition of such securities as shall be required to effect the registration of their Registrable Securities.
(c) The Company shall have no obligation with respect to any registration requested pursuant to Section 2.2 or Section 2.4 if, due to the operation of subsection 2.2(b), the number of shares or the anticipated aggregate offering price of the Registrable Securities to be included in the registration does not equal or exceed the number of shares or the anticipated aggregate offering price required to originally trigger the Company’s obligation to initiate such registration as specified in Section 2.2 or Section 2.4, whichever is applicable.
2.9 Indemnification. In the event any Registrable Securities are included in a registration statement under Sections 2.2, 2.3 or 2.4:

or director, underwriter or 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 indemnity agreement contained in this Section 2.9(a) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, nor shall the Company be liable in any such case for any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action to the extent that it arises out of or is based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished expressly for use in connection with such registration by such Holder, partner, officer, director, underwriter or controlling person of such Holder.
(b) To the extent permitted by law, each Holder will, if Registrable Securities held by such Holder are included in the securities as to which such registration qualifications or compliance is being effected, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, its officers, and legal counsel and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, any underwriter and any other Holder selling securities under such registration statement or any of such other Holder’s partners, directors or officers or any person who controls such Holder, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (joint or several) to which the Company or any such director, officer, controlling person, underwriter or other such Holder, or partner, director, officer or controlling person of such other Holder may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereto) arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in each case to the extent (and only to the extent) that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by such Holder under an instrument duly executed by such Holder and stated to be specifically for use in connection with such registration; and each such Holder will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company or any such director, officer, controlling person, underwriter or other Holder, or partner, officer, director or controlling person of such other Holder in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if it is judicially determined that there was such a Violation; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 2.9(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Holder, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided further, that in no event shall any indemnity under this Section 2.9 exceed the net proceeds from the offering received by such Holder.
(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 2.9 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action), such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 2.9, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the parties; provided, however, that an indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if representation of such indemnified party by the counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing
XxxxXxxxx.xxx, Inc.
Investors’ Rights Agreement
- 11
interests between such indemnified party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action, if materially prejudicial to its ability to defend such action, shall relieve such indemnifying party of liability to the indemnified party under this Section 2.9 to the extent but only to the extent that such failure to deliver notice is prejudicial to the indemnifying party, but the omission so to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 2.9.
(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 2.9 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to herein, the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, shall to the extent permitted by applicable law contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability 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 Violation(s) that resulted in such loss, claim, damage or liability, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be determined by a court of law 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, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission; provided, that in no event shall any contribution by a Holder hereunder exceed the proceeds from the offering received by such Holder.
(e) The obligations of the Company and Holders under this Section 2.9 shall survive completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in a registration statement and the termination of this Agreement. 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 to such claim or litigation.
2.10 Assignment of Registration Rights. The rights to cause the Company to register Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 2 may be assigned by a Holder to a transferee or assignee of Registrable Securities which (i) is a subsidiary, parent, general partner, limited partner or retired partner of a Holder, (ii) is a Holder’s family member or trust for the benefit of an individual Holder, or (iii) acquires (a) at least one hundred thousand (100,000) shares of Registrable Securities or (b) all of a Holder’s Registrable Securities if such Holder holds less than one hundred thousand (100,000) shares of Registrable Securities; provided, however, (i) that the transferor shall within thirty (30) days thereafter furnish to the Company written notice of the name and address of such transferee or assignee and the securities with respect to which such registration rights are being assigned and (ii) such transferee shall agree to be subject to all restrictions set forth in this Agreement.

Investors’ Rights Agreement
- 12
2.11 Amendment of Registration Rights. Any provision of this Section 2 may be amended and the observance thereof may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively), only with the written consent of the (i) Company, (ii) in the event that the rights of the Holders of the Registrable Securities attributable to the Series A Investors are affected by any such amendment or waiver, by Holders of a majority of such Registrable Securities then outstanding, and (iii) in the event that the rights of the Holders of the Registrable Securities attributable to the Series B Investors are affected by any such amendment or waiver, by Holders of a majority of such Registrable Securities then outstanding. Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this Section 2.11 shall be binding upon each Holder and the Company. By acceptance of any benefits under this Section 2, Holders of Registrable Securities hereby agree to be bound by the provisions hereunder.
2.12 Limitation on Subsequent Registration Rights. After the date of this Agreement, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities then outstanding, enter into any agreement with any holder or prospective holder of any securities of the Company that would grant such holder registration rights senior to those granted to the Holders hereunder.
2.13 “Market Stand-Off” Agreement. If requested by the Company or the representative of the underwriters of Common Stock (or other securities) of the Company, each Holder shall not sell, make any short sale of, loan, grant any option for the purchase of, or enter into any hedging or similar transaction with the same economic effect as a sale or otherwise dispose of any Common Stock (or other securities) of the Company held by such Holder (other than those Common Stock shares included in the registration) for a period specified by the representative of the underwriters not to exceed one hundred eighty (180) days following the effective date of a registration statement of the Company filed under the Securities Act, provided that all officers and directors of the Company, all persons holding two percent (2%) or more of the Company’s securities and all other persons with registration rights (whether or not pursuant to this Agreement) enter into similar agreements. Each Holder agrees to execute and deliver such other agreements as may be reasonably requested by the Company or the underwriter which are consistent with the foregoing or which are necessary to give further effect thereto. In addition, if requested by the Company or the representative of the underwriters of Common Stock (or other securities) of the Company, each Holder shall provide, within ten (10) days of such request, such information as may be required by the Company or such representative in connection with the completion of any public offering of the Company’s securities pursuant to a registration statement filed under the Securities Act. The obligations described in this Section 2.13 shall not apply to a registration relating solely to employee benefit plans on Form S-I or Form S-8 or similar forms that may be promulgated in the future, or a registration relating solely to a Commission Rule 145 transaction on Form S-4 or similar forms that may be promulgated in the future. The Company may impose stop transfer instructions with respect to the shares of Common Stock (or other securities) subject to the foregoing restriction until the end of said lock-up period.
2.14 Rule 144 Reporting. With a view to making available to the Holders the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the SEC, which may permit the sale of the Registrable Securities to the public without registration, the Company agrees to use its best efforts to:
XxxxXxxxx.xxx, Inc.
Investors’ Rights Agreement
- 13
(a) Make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in SEC Rule 144 or any similar or analogous rule promulgated under the Securities Act, at all times after the effective date of the first registration filed by the Company for an offering of its securities to the general public;
(b) File with the SEC, in a timely manner, all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Exchange Act;
(c) So long as a Holder owns any Registrable Securities, furnish to such Holder forthwith upon request: a written statement by the Company as to its compliance with the reporting requirements of said Rule 144 of the Securities Act, and of the Exchange Act (at any time after it has become subject to such reporting requirements); a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company; and such other reports and documents as a Holder may reasonably request in availing itself of any rule or regulation of the SEC allowing it to sell any such securities without registration.
Section 3. Right Of First Refusal.
(a) Certain Definitions. As used in this Section 3, the following terms shall have the following respective meanings:
A Holder’s “Pro Rata Share” means the ratio obtained by dividing (i) the number of shares of Common Stock held by such Holder (including any shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Shares or upon exercise of any options to purchase shares of the Common Stock) by (ii) the sum of the number of shares of all securities of the Company outstanding, including securities exercisable or convertible for Common Stock, on an as-converted into Common Stock basis.
“New Securities” means any shares of capital stock of the Company including Common Stock and Preferred Stock, whether now authorized or not, and rights, options or warrants to purchase said shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock, and securities of any type whatsoever that are, or may become, convertible into said shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock. “New Securities” do not include (i) the Shares or the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Shares, (ii) securities issuable upon exercise upon or conversion of currently outstanding securities, (iii) securities offered to the public generally pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act, (iv) securities issued pursuant to the acquisition of another corporation by the Company by merger, purchase of substantially all of the assets or other reorganization whereby the Company or its stockholders own not less than fifty-one percent (51%) of the voting power of the surviving or successor corporation, (v) securities issued to employees, officers, directors of, and consultants to, the Company or issued or issuable to banks or other institutional lenders or lessors in connection with capital asset leases or borrowings for the acquisition of capital assets, landlords, or other providers of goods and services to the Company, pursuant to any arrangement approved by the Board of Directors of the Company (including securities issued upon exercise or conversion of any of such securities), (vi) securities issued or issuable pursuant to equipment lease financings, bank credit arrangements, commercial property lease transactions or similar transactions entered into for primarily non-equity financing
XxxxXxxxx.xxx, Inc.
Investors’ Rights Agreement
- 14
purposes or in connection with strategic partnering or licensing transactions approved by the Board of Directors of the Company or (vii) stock issued in connection with any stock split, stock dividend or recapitalization by the Company.
(b) Right of First Refusal Upon Issuance of Securities by the Company. The Company hereby grants to each holder of at least 250,000 shares of Preferred Stock and Registrable Securities issuable upon the conversion thereof (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reclassification and the like)(together with its partners, members, directors, affiliates, and affiliated funds, a “Major Holder”) the right of first refusal to purchase up to its Pro Rata Share of New Securities which the Company may, from time to time, propose to sell and issue.
(i) In the event the Company proposes to undertake an issuance of New Securities, it shall give each Major Holder written notice of its intention, describing the type of New Securities, the price and the general terms upon which the Company proposes to issue the same. Each such Major Holder shall have twenty (20) days from the date of receipt of any such notice to agree to purchase the Major Holder’s Pro Rata Share of New Securities for the price and upon the general terms specified in the notice by giving written notice to the Company and stating therein the quantity of New Securities to be purchased.
(ii) In the event a Major Holder fails to exercise the right of first refusal within said twenty (20) day period the Company shall have one hundred eighty (180) days thereafter to close the sale of the New Securities respecting which such Major Holder’s option was not exercised, at a price and upon general terms no more favorable to the purchasers thereof than specified in the Company’s notice. In the event the Company has not sold the New Securities within said one hundred eighty (180) day period, the Company shall not thereafter issue or sell any New Securities, without first offering such securities to the Major Holders in the manner provided above.
(iii) The right of first refusal granted under this Agreement shall expire upon the first to occur of the following: (a) the closing of a Qualified IPO, (b) immediately prior to a merger, acquisition or similar consolidation of the Company, or (c) as to a Major Holder if such Major Holder no longer holds any Shares and/or Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Shares (appropriately adjusted for recapitalizations).
(iv) The right of first refusal hereunder is not assignable except (a) by each of such Major Holder pursuant to the transfer by gift, will or intestate succession of any such Major Holder, or (b) to a transferee who acquires any Shares or Conversion Shares.
(v) The right of first refusal hereunder is not exercisable by a Major Holder if (a) such Major Holder is not an accredited investor within the meaning of Regulation D under the Securities Act and (b) the New Securities are being offered to accredited investors only.

INVESTORS’ RIGHTS AGREEMENT
On June , 2011, that certain Investors’ Rights Agreement (the “Rights Agreement”) dated as of January 21, 2005, by and among CafePress, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) and the individuals and entities listed as “Investors” in the Rights Agreement was amended as follows:
Amendment of Registration Rights. The first paragraph of Section 2.3 of the Rights Agreement shall be amended in its entirety to read as follows:
“2.3 Piggyback Registrations. If the Company files a registration statement under the Securities Act for purposes of a public offering of securities of the Company (including, but not limited to, registration statements relating to secondary offerings of securities of the Company, but excluding registration statements relating to employee benefit plans or with respect to corporate reorganizations or other transactions under Rule 145 of the Securities Act), the Company shall promptly, following such filing, give each Holder of Registrable Securities written notice of such filing and will afford each such Holder an opportunity to include in such registration statement all or part of such Registrable Securities held by such Holder. Each Holder desiring to include in any such registration statement all or any part of the Registrable Securities held by it shall, within ten (10) days after the above-described notice from the Company, so notify the Company in writing. Such notice shall state the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Securities by such Holder. If a Holder decides not to include all of its Registrable Securities in any registration statement thereafter filed by the Company, such Holder shall nevertheless continue to have the right to include any Registrable Securities in any subsequent registration statement or registration statements as may be filed by the Company with respect to offerings of its securities, all upon the terms and conditions set forth herein.”
