from Holders that hold at least twenty percent (20%) of the Registrable Securities then outstanding
(the “Requesting Holders”) that the Company register Registrable Securities held by Requesting
Holders (a “Demand Request”), then the Company shall, within ten (10) days after receipt of such

to sell or dispose of, (y) state the intended method or methods of sale or disposition of the
Registrable Securities and (z) specify the expected price range (net of underwriting discounts and

Following receipt of a Demand Request, the Company shall:

Securities that the Company has been so requested to register by the Requesting Holders and other

Investor’s Rights Agreement (ITEK) v4

(b) Effective Registration Statement. A registration requested pursuant to this
Agreement shall not be deemed to have been effected (i) unless a Registration Statement with
respect thereto has become effective and remained effective in compliance with the provisions of
the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities covered by such
Registration Statement until such time as all of such Registrable Securities have been disposed of
in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the Holders thereof set forth in such
Registration Statement; (ii) if, after it has become effective, such registration is interfered
with by any stop order, injunction or other order or requirement of the SEC or other governmental
agency or court and has not thereafter become effective, or if the offering of Registrable
Securities is not consummated for any reason, including, without limitation, if the underwriters of
an underwritten public offering advise the Participating Holders that the Registrable Securities
cannot be sold at a net price per share equal to or above the net price disclosed in the
preliminary prospectus; (iii) if the conditions to closing specified in the underwriting agreement,
if any, entered into in connection with such registration are not satisfied or waived; or (iv) if
the Requesting Holders are cut back regarding the Registrable Securities requested to be
registered.
(c) Selection of Underwriters. In the event that the Company is required to file a
Registration Statement covering any Registrable Securities of any Requesting Holders pursuant to
Section 1.2(a) hereof and the proposed public offering is to be an underwritten public
offering, the managing underwriter shall be one or more reputable, nationally recognized investment
banks selected by a majority in interest of the Requesting Holders and reasonably acceptable to the
Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.
(d) Priority for Demand Registration. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement, if the managing underwriter of an underwritten public offering determines and advises
the Participating Holders and the Company in writing that the inclusion of all securities proposed
to be included by the Company and any other Holders in the underwritten public offering would
materially and adversely interfere with the successful marketing of the Requesting Holders’
Registrable Securities, then the Company and other Holders shall not be permitted to include any
securities in excess of the amount, if any, of securities that the managing underwriter of such
underwritten public offering shall reasonably and in good faith agree in writing to include in such
public offering in addition to the amount of Registrable Securities to be registered for the
Requesting Holders. The Company will be obligated to include in such Registration Statement, as to
each Holder, only a portion of the Registrable Securities such Holder has requested be registered
equal to the ratio which such Holder’s requested Registrable Securities bears to the total number
of Registrable Securities requested to be included in such Registration Statement by all Holders
who have requested that their Registrable Securities be included in such Registration Statement. It
is acknowledged by the parties hereto that pursuant to the foregoing provision, the securities to
be included in a registration requested by the Requesting Holders pursuant to Section 1.2
shall be allocated:
(i) first, to the Participating Holders; and
(ii) second, to the Company and any other shareholders of the Company requesting registration
of securities of the Company.
Investor’s Rights Agreement (ITEK) v4

(e) Limitations on Demand Registrations.
(i) The Company may delay making a filing of a Registration Statement or taking action in
connection therewith by not more than ninety (90) days if the Company provides a written
certificate signed by the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company to the
Holders, prior to the time it would otherwise have been required to file such Registration
Statement or take such action pursuant to this Section 1.2, stating that the Board has
determined in good faith that the filing of such Registration Statement would be seriously
detrimental to the Company or would otherwise materially adversely affect a financing, acquisition,
disposition, merger or other material transaction (collectively, a “Valid Business Reason”) and
that it is therefore essential to defer the filing of the Registration Statement; provided,
however, that such right to delay a Demand Request shall be exercised by the Company not
more than once in any twelve (12) month period and the Company shall only have the right to delay a
Demand Request so long as such Valid Business Reason exists, and during such time, the Company may
not file a Registration Statement for securities to be issued and sold for its own account or for
that of anyone other than the Holders.
(ii) The Company shall only be obligated to effect two (2) Demand Requests pursuant to this
Section 1.2.
(iii) The Company shall not be required to comply with a Demand Request unless the reasonably
anticipated aggregate gross proceeds to be raised (before any underwriting discounts and
commissions) would be equal to or exceed $1,000,000.
(f) Cancellation of Registration. A majority in interest of the Participating Holders
shall have the right to cancel a proposed registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to this
Section 1.2 when, (i) in their discretion, market conditions are so unfavorable as to be
seriously detrimental to an offering pursuant to such registration or (ii) the request for
cancellation is based upon material adverse information relating to the Company that is different
from the information known to the Participating Holders at the time of the Demand Request. Such
cancellation of a registration shall not be counted as one of the two (2) Demand Requests, and
notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement, the Company shall be responsible for the
expenses of the Participating Holders incurred in connection with the registration prior to the
time of cancellation.
Section 1.3. Piggyback Registrations.
(a) Right to Include Registrable Securities. Each time that the Company proposes for
any reason to register any of its Common Stock under the Securities Act, either for its own account
or for the account of a stockholder or stockholders exercising demand registration rights other
than Demand Requests pursuant to Section 1.2 hereof or pursuant to a Registration Statement
on Forms S-4 or S-8 (or similar or successor forms) (a “Proposed Registration”), the Company shall
promptly give written notice of such Proposed Registration to all of the Holders of Registrable
Securities (which notice shall be given not less than thirty (30) days prior to the expected
effective date of the Company’s Registration Statement) and shall offer such Holders the right to
request inclusion of any of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in the Proposed Registration. No
registration pursuant to this Section 1.3 shall relieve the Company of its
Investor’s Rights Agreement (ITEK) v4
6
obligation to register Registrable Securities pursuant to a Demand Request, as contemplated by
Section 1.2 hereof. The rights to piggyback registration may be exercised an unlimited
number of occasions.
(b) Piggyback Procedure. Each Holder of Registrable Securities shall have twenty (20)
days from the date of receipt of the Company’s notice referred to in Section 1.3(a) above
to deliver to the Company a written request specifying the number of Registrable Securities such
Holder intends to sell and such Holder’s intended method of disposition. Any Holder shall have the
right to withdraw such Holder’s request for inclusion of such holder’s Registrable Securities in
any Registration Statement pursuant to this Section 1.3 by giving written notice to the
Company of such withdrawal. Subject to Section 1.3(d) below, the Company shall use its
best efforts to include in such Registration Statement all such Registrable Securities so requested
to be included therein; provided, however, that the Company may at any time
withdraw or cease proceeding with any such Proposed Registration if it shall at the same time
withdraw or cease proceeding with the registration of all other shares of Common Stock originally
proposed to be registered.
(c) Selection of Underwriters. The managing underwriter for any Proposed Registration
that involves an underwritten public offering shall be one or more reputable, nationally recognized
investment banks selected by the Company and reasonably acceptable to a majority in interest of the
Holders.
(d) Priority for Piggyback Registration. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement, if the managing underwriter of an underwritten public offering determines and advises
the Company and the Holders in writing that the inclusion of all Registrable Securities proposed to
be included by the Holders of Registrable Securities in the underwritten public offering would
materially and adversely interfere with the successful marketing of the Company’s securities, then
the Holders of Registrable Securities shall not be permitted to include any Registrable Securities
in excess of the amount, if any, of Registrable Securities that the managing underwriter of such
underwritten public offering shall reasonably and in good faith agree in writing to include in such
public offering in addition to the amount of securities to be registered for the Company. The
Company will be obligated to include in such Registration Statement, as to each Holder, only a
portion of the Registrable Securities such Holder has requested be registered equal to the ratio
which such Holder’s requested Registrable Securities bears to the total number of Registrable
Securities requested to be included in such Registration Statement by all Holders who have
requested that their Registrable Securities be included in such Registration Statement. It is
acknowledged by the parties hereto that, pursuant to the foregoing provision, the securities to be
included in a registration initiated by the Company shall be allocated:
(i) first, to the Company; and
(ii) second, pari passu among the Holders and all other holders of securities of the Company
with piggyback registration rights.
Investor’s Rights Agreement (ITEK) v4

If as a result of the provisions of this Section 1.3(d), any Holder shall not be
entitled to include all of its Registrable Securities in a registration that such Holder has
requested to be so included, such Holder may withdraw such Holder’s request to include Registrable
Securities in such Registration Statement.
(e) Underwritten Offering. In the event that the Proposed Registration by the Company
is, in whole or in part, an underwritten public offering of securities of the Company, any request
under this Section 1.3 shall specify that the Registrable Securities be included in the
underwriting on the same terms and conditions as the shares, if any, otherwise being sold through
underwriters under such registration.
Section 1.4 Form S-3 Registration. Any Holder (an “Initiating Form S-3 Holder”) may
request, at any time, that the Company file a Registration Statement under the Securities Act on
Form S-3 (or similar or successor form) covering the sale or other distribution of all or any
portion of the Registrable Securities held by such Initiating Form S-3 Holder pursuant to Rule 415
under the Securities Act (“Form S-3 Demand”) if (i) the reasonably anticipated aggregate gross
proceeds would equal or exceed $5,000,000, (ii) the Company is a registrant qualified to use Form
S-3 (or any similar or successor form) to register such Registrable Securities and (iii) the plan
of distribution of the Registrable Securities is other than pursuant to an underwritten public
offering. If such conditions are met, the Company shall use its best efforts to register under the
Securities Act on Form S-3 (or any similar or successor form) at the earliest practicable date, for
sale in accordance with the method of disposition specified in the Form S-3 Demand, the number of
Registrable Securities specified in such Form S-3 Demand. In connection with a Form S-3 Demand,
the Company agrees to include in the prospectus included in any Registration Statement on Form S-3,
such material describing the Company and intended to facilitate the sale of securities being so
registered as is reasonably requested for inclusion therein by the Initiating Form S-3 Holders,
whether or not the rules applicable to preparation of Form S-3 require the inclusion of such
information. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company shall furnish to the Initiating Form
S-3 Holders a certificate signed by the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the
Company stating that in the good faith opinion of the Board of Directors of the Company, a Valid
Business Reason exists, the Company shall have the right to delay or defer taking action with
respect to such filing for a period of ninety (90) days after receipt of the Form S-3 Demand;
provided, however, that such right to delay or defer a Form S-3 Demand shall be
exercised by the Company not more than once in any twelve (12) month period, the Company shall only
have the right to delay a Form S-3 Demand so long as such Valid Business Reason exists, and during
such time the Company may not file a Registration Statement for securities to be issued and sold
for its own account or for that of any other Holders. Form S-3 Demands will not be deemed to be
Demand Requests as described in Section 1.2 hereof and Holders shall have the right to
request an unlimited number of Form S-3 Demands. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall
not be obligated to file more than one (1) Registration Statement on Form S-3 pursuant to this
Section 1.4 in any given six (6) month period.

Section 1.5. Registration Procedures.
(a) Obligations of the Company. Whenever registration of Registrable Securities is
required pursuant to this Agreement, the Company shall use its best efforts to effect the
registration and sale of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method of
distribution thereof as promptly as possible, and in connection with any such request, the Company
shall, as expeditiously as possible:
(i) Preparation of Registration Statement; Effectiveness. Prepare and file with the SEC (in
any event not later than ninety (90) days after receipt of a Demand Request to file a Registration
Statement with respect to Registrable Securities), a Registration Statement on any form on which
the Company then qualifies, which counsel for the Company shall deem appropriate and pursuant to
which such offering may be made in accordance with the intended method of distribution thereof
(except that the Registration Statement shall contain such information as may reasonably be
requested for marketing or other purposes by the managing underwriter), and use its best efforts to
cause any registration required hereunder to become effective as soon as practicable after the
initial filing thereof and remain effective for a period of not less than one hundred and eighty
(180) days (or such shorter period in which all Registrable Securities have been sold in accordance
with the methods of distribution set forth in the Registration Statement); provided,
however, that, in the case of any registration of Registrable Securities on Form S-3 that
are intended to be offered on a continuous or delayed basis, such one hundred eighty (180) day
period shall be extended, if necessary, to keep the Registration Statement effective until all such
Registrable Securities are sold, provided that Rule 415, or any successor rule under the
Securities Act, permits an offering on a continuous or delayed basis;
(ii) Participation in Preparation. Provide any Participating Holder, any underwriter
participating in any disposition pursuant to a Registration Statement and any attorney, accountant
or other agent retained by any Participating Holder or underwriter (each, an “Inspector” and,

limited to, reviewing, commenting on and attending all meetings) in the preparation of such
Registration Statement, each prospectus included therein or filed with the SEC and each amendment
or supplement thereto;
(iii) Due Diligence. For a reasonable period prior to the filing of any Registration
Statement pursuant to this Agreement, make available for inspection and copying by the Inspectors
such financial and other information and books and records, pertinent corporate documents and

counsel and independent registered public accountants of the Company and its subsidiaries to
respond to such inquiries and to supply all information reasonably requested by any such Inspector
in connection with such Registration Statement, as shall be reasonably necessary, in the judgment
of the respective counsel referred to in Section 1.5(a)(ii), to conduct a reasonable
investigation within the meaning of the Securities Act;
(iv) General Notifications. Promptly notify in writing the Participating Holders, the sales
or placement agent, if any, therefor and the managing underwriter of the securities being sold, (A)
when such Registration Statement or the prospectus included therein or any prospectus amendment or

Investor’s Rights Agreement (ITEK) v4
9
respect to any such Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment, when the same has
become effective, (B) when the SEC notifies the Company whether there will be a “review” of such
Registration Statement and (C) of any comments (oral or written) by the SEC and by the blue sky or
securities commissioner or regulator of any state with respect thereto or (D) of any request by the
SEC for any amendments or supplements to such Registration Statement or the prospectus or for
additional information;
(v) 10b-5 Notification. Promptly notify in writing the Participating Holders, the sales or
placement agent, if any, therefor and the managing underwriter of the securities being sold
pursuant to any Registration Statement at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required
to be delivered under the Securities Act upon discovery that, or upon the happening of any event as
a result of which, any prospectus included in such Registration Statement (or amendment or
supplement thereto) contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in
light of the circumstances under which they were made, and the Company shall promptly prepare a
supplement or amendment to such prospectus and file it with the SEC (in any event no later than ten
(10) days following notice of the occurrence of such event to each Participating Holder, the sales
or placement agent and the managing underwriter) so that after delivery of such prospectus, as so
amended or supplemented, to the purchasers of such Registrable Securities, such prospectus, as so
amended or supplemented, shall not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state
any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading in light of the circumstances under which they were made;
(vi) Notification of Stop Orders; Suspensions of Qualifications and Exemptions. Promptly
notify in writing the Participating Holders, the sales or placement agent, if any, therefor and the

issued or threatened to be issued by the SEC or (B) any notification with respect to the suspension
of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale
in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose, and the
Company agrees to use commercially reasonable best efforts to (x) prevent the issuance of any such
stop order, and in the event of such issuance, to obtain the withdrawal of any such stop order and
(y) obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending or preventing the use of any related prospectus
or suspending the qualification of any Registrable Securities included in such Registration
Statement for sale in any jurisdiction at the earliest practicable date;
(vii) Amendments and Supplements; Acceleration. Prepare and file with the SEC such
amendments, including post-effective amendments to each Registration Statement as may be necessary
to keep such Registration Statement continuously effective for the applicable time period required
hereunder and, if applicable, file any Registration Statements pursuant to Rule 462(b) under the
Securities Act; cause the related prospectus to be supplemented by any required prospectus
supplement, and as so supplemented to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 (or any similar provisions then
in force) promulgated under the Securities Act; and comply with the provisions of the Securities
Act and the Exchange Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such
Registration Statement during such period in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by
the sellers thereof set forth in such Registration Statement as

10
so amended or in such prospectus as so supplemented. If a majority in interest of the
Participating Holders so request, to request acceleration of effectiveness of the Registration
Statement from the SEC and any post-effective amendments thereto, if any are filed;
provided that at the time of such request, the Company does not in good faith believe that
it is necessary to amend further the Registration Statement in order to comply with the provisions
of this subparagraph. If the Company wishes to further amend the Registration Statement prior to
requesting acceleration, it shall have five (5) days to so amend prior to requesting acceleration;
(viii) Copies. Furnish as promptly as practicable to each Participating Holder and Inspector

Participating Holder or underwriter may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition
of the Registrable Securities owned by such Participating Holder;

Registrable Securities, register or qualify (or seek an exemption from registration or
qualifications) such Registrable Securities under such other securities or blue sky laws of such
jurisdictions as any Participating Holder or underwriter may request, and to continue such
qualification in effect in each such jurisdiction for as long as is permissible pursuant to the
laws of such jurisdiction, or for as long as a Participating Holder or underwriter requests or
until all of such Registrable Securities are sold, whichever is shortest, and do any and all other
acts and things which may be reasonably necessary or advisable to enable any Participating Holder
to consummate the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities;

consents, exemptions or authorizations from such governmental agencies or authorities as may be
necessary to enable the Participating Holders and underwriters to consummate the disposition of

customary form), and take such other actions as may be reasonably required in order to expedite or
facilitate the disposition of Registrable Securities;
(xii) “Cold Comfort” Letter. Obtain a “cold comfort” letter from the Company’s independent
public accountants in customary form and covering such matters of the type customarily covered by

the date such securities are delivered to the underwriters for sale pursuant to such registration,
an opinion, dated such date, of counsel representing the Company for the purposes of such

the underwriters, if any, thereof, covering such legal matters with respect to the registration in

writing by the Company that the use of the prospectus may be resumed and has received copies of any
additional or supplemental filings which are incorporated by reference into the prospectus, and, if
so directed by the Company in the case of an event described in Section 1.5(a)(v), such
Participating Holder shall deliver to the Company (at the Company’s expense) all copies, other than
permanent file copies then in such Participating Holder’s possession, of the prospectus covering
such Registrable Securities which is current at the time of receipt of such notice. If the Company
shall give any such notice, the Company shall extend the period during which such Registration
Statement is to be maintained effective by the number of days during the period from and including
the date of the giving of such notice pursuant to Section 1.5(a)(v) to and including the
date when the Participating Holder shall have received the copies of the supplemented or amended
prospectus contemplated by, and meeting the requirements of, Section 1.5(a)(v).
Section 1.6. Registration Expenses. Except as otherwise provided herein, all
Registration Expenses shall be borne by the Company. All Selling Expenses relating to Registrable
Securities registered shall be borne by the Participating Holders of such Registrable Securities
pro rata on the basis of the number of shares so registered.
Section 1.7. Indemnification.
(a) Indemnification by the Company. The Company agrees, notwithstanding termination
of this Agreement, to indemnify and hold harmless to the fullest extent permitted by law, each
Holder, each of its directors, officers, employees, advisors, agents and general or limited
partners (and the directors, officers, employees, advisors and agents thereof), their respective
Affiliates and each Person who controls (within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange
Act) any of such Persons, and each underwriter and each Person who controls (within the meaning of
the Securities Act or the Exchange Act) any underwriter (collectively, “Holder Indemnified
Parties”) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, expenses (including, without
limitation, reasonable costs of investigation and fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel,
any amounts paid in settlement effected with the Company’s consent, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed and any costs incurred in enforcing the Company’s indemnification
obligations hereunder) or other liabilities (collectively, “Losses”) to which any such Holder
Indemnified Party may become subject under the Securities Act, Exchange Act, any other federal law,
any state or common law or any rule or regulation promulgated thereunder or otherwise, insofar as
such Losses (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) are
resulting from or arising out of or based upon (i) any untrue, or alleged untrue, statement of a
material fact contained in any Registration Statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus (as
amended or supplemented) or any document incorporated by reference in any of the foregoing or
resulting from or arising out of or based upon any omission, or alleged omission, to state therein
a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the
case of a prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made), not misleading or
(ii) any violation by the Company of the Securities Act, Exchange Act, any other federal law, any
state or common law or any rule or regulation promulgated thereunder or otherwise incident to any
registration, qualification or compliance and in any such case, the Company will promptly reimburse
each such Holder Indemnified Party for any legal and any other Losses reasonably incurred in
Investor’s Rights Agreement (ITEK) v4
13
connection with investigating, preparing or defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability,
action or investigation or proceeding (collectively, a “Claim”); provided, however,
that the Company shall not be liable to any Holder Indemnified Party for any Losses that arise out
of or are based upon written information provided by a Holder Indemnified Party specifically
stating it is for use in the Registration Statement. Such indemnity obligation shall remain in
full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Holder
Indemnified Parties and shall survive the transfer of Registrable Securities by such Holder
Indemnified Parties.
(b) Indemnification by Holders. In connection with any proposed registration in which
a Holder is participating pursuant to this Agreement, each such Holder shall furnish to the Company
in writing such information with respect to such Holder as the Company may reasonably request or as
may be required by law for use in connection with any Registration Statement or prospectus or
preliminary prospectus to be used in connection with such registration and each Holder agrees,
severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, any underwriter retained by
the Company and their respective directors, officers, partners, employees, advisors and agents,
their respective Affiliates and each Person who controls (within the meaning of the Securities Act
or the Exchange Act) any of such Persons to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the
Company to the Holders as set forth in Section 1.7(a) (subject to the exceptions set forth
in the foregoing indemnity, the proviso to this sentence and applicable law), but only with respect
to any such information furnished in writing by such Holder expressly for use therein;
provided, however, that the liability of any Holder under this Section
1.7(b) shall be limited to the amount of the net proceeds received by such Holder in the
offering giving rise to such liability. Such indemnity obligation shall remain in full force and
effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Holder Indemnified Parties
(except as provided above) and shall survive the transfer of Registrable Securities by such Holder.
(c) Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. Any Person entitled to indemnification
hereunder (the “Indemnified Party”) agrees to give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party
(the “Indemnifying Party”) after the receipt by the Indemnified Party of any written notice of the
commencement of any action, suit, proceeding or investigation or threat thereof made in writing for
which the Indemnified Party intends to claim indemnification or contribution pursuant to this
Agreement; provided, however, that, the failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party
shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of any liability that it may have to the Indemnified Party
hereunder unless and to the extent such Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such
failure. If notice of commencement of any such action is given to the Indemnifying Party as above
provided, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in and, to the extent it may
wish, jointly with any other Indemnifying Party similarly notified, to assume the defense of such
action at its own expense, with counsel chosen by it and reasonably satisfactory to such
Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any
such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall
be paid by the Indemnified Party unless (i) the Indemnifying Party agrees to pay the same, (ii) the
Indemnifying Party fails to assume the defense of such action with counsel satisfactory to the
Indemnified Party in its reasonable judgment or (iii) the named parties to any such action
(including, but not limited to, any impleaded parties) reasonably believe that the representation
of such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party by the same counsel would be inappropriate
under applicable standards of professional conduct. In the case of clause (ii) above
Investor’s Rights Agreement (ITEK) v4
14
and (iii) above, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such
action on behalf of such Indemnified Party. No Indemnifying Party shall be liable for any
settlement entered into without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the written consent of the Indemnified Party,
effect the settlement of, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, any
pending or threatened action or claim in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be
sought hereunder (whether or not the Indemnified Party is an actual or potential party to such
action or claim) unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (A) includes an unconditional
release of the Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such action or claim and (B)
does not include a statement as to, or an admission of, fault, culpability or a failure to act by
or on behalf of any Indemnified Party. The rights afforded to any Indemnified Party hereunder
shall be in addition to any rights that such Indemnified Party may have at common law, by separate
agreement or otherwise.
(d) Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 1.7
from the Indemnifying Party is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an Indemnified Party in
respect of any Losses referred to herein, then the Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying the
Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Indemnified Party as a
result of such Losses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the
Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party, as well as any other relevant equitable
considerations. The relative faults of the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall be
determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any
untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a
material fact, was made by, or relates to information supplied by, such Indemnifying Party or
Indemnified Party, and the Indemnifying Party’s and Indemnified Party’s relative intent, knowledge,
access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action; provided,
however, that the liability of any Holder under this Section 1.7(d) shall be
limited to the amount of the net proceeds received by such Holder in the offering giving rise to
such liability. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the Losses or other
liabilities referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in
Sections 1.7(a), 1.7(b) and 1.7(c), any legal or other fees, charges or
expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding.
The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to
this Section 1.7(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of
allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the
immediately preceding paragraph. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the
meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution pursuant to this
Section 1.7(d).
Section 1.8. Rule 144 and Rule 144A; Other Exemptions. With a view to making available
to the Holders the benefits of Rule 144 and Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act and
other rules and regulations of the SEC that may at any time permit a Holder to sell securities of
the Company to the public without registration, the Company covenants that it shall (i) file in a
timely manner all reports and other documents required to be filed by it under the Securities Act
and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC thereunder and (ii) take
such further action as each Holder may reasonably request (including,
Investor’s Rights Agreement (ITEK) v4
15
but not limited to, providing any information necessary to comply with Rule 144 and Rule 144A, if
available with respect to resales of the Registrable Securities under the Securities Act), all to
the extent required from time to time to enable such Holder to sell Registrable Securities without
registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by (x) Rule
144 and Rule 144A (if available with respect to resales of the Registrable Securities) under the
Securities Act, as such rules may be amended from time to time or (y) any other rules or
regulations now existing or hereafter adopted by the SEC. Upon the written request of a Holder,
the Company shall deliver to the Holder a written statement as to whether it has complied with such
requirements.
Section 1.9. Certain Limitations On Registration Rights. No Holder may
participate in any Registration Statement hereunder unless such Holder completes and executes all
questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents
reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements and agrees to sell such
Holder’s Registrable Securities on the basis provided in any underwriting agreement approved by the
Holder or Holders entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements; provided,
however, that no such Holder shall be required to make any representations or warranties to
the Company or the underwriters in connection with any such registration other than representations
and warranties as to (i) such Holder’s ownership of its Registrable Securities to be sold or
transferred, (ii) such Holder’s power and authority to effect such transfer and (iii) such matters
pertaining to compliance with securities laws as may be reasonably requested. Such Holders of
Registrable Securities to be sold by such underwriters may, at their option, require that any or
all of the representations and warranties by, and the other agreements on the part of the Company
to and for the benefit of such underwriters, shall also be made to and for the benefit of such
Holders and that any or all of the conditions precedent to the obligations of the underwriters
under the underwriting agreement be conditions precedent to the obligations of the Holders.
Section 1.10. Limitations on Subsequent Registration Rights. The Company agrees that
from and after the date of this Agreement, it shall not, without the prior written consent of the
Holders of at least 51% of the Registrable Securities then outstanding, enter into any agreement
(or amendment or waiver of the provisions of any agreement) with any holder or prospective holder
of any securities of the Company that would grant such holder registration rights that are more
favorable, pari passu or senior to those granted to the Purchaser hereunder.
Section 1.11. Transfer of Registration Rights. The rights of a Holder hereunder may be
transferred or assigned in connection with a transfer of Registrable Securities to (i) any
Affiliate of a Holder, (ii) any subsidiary, parent, partner, limited partner, shareholder or member
of a Holder or (iii) any party or parties to a transaction or series of related transactions who,
after such transaction, holds or collectively hold at least 1,000,000 shares of Registrable
Securities (as adjusted for any stock dividends, stock splits, combinations and reorganizations and
similar events). Notwithstanding the foregoing, such rights may only be transferred or assigned
provided that all of the following additional conditions are satisfied: (a) such transfer or
assignment is effected in accordance with applicable securities laws; (b) such transferee or
assignee agrees in writing to become subject to the terms of this Agreement; and (c) the Company is
given written notice by such Holder of such transfer or assignment, stating the name and address of
the transferee or assignee and identifying the Registrable Securities with respect to which such
rights are being transferred or assigned.

All notices, requests or other communications will be effective and deemed given only as follows:
(i) if given by personal delivery, upon such personal delivery, (ii) if sent by certified or
registered mail, on the fifth business day after being deposited in the United States mail, (iii)
if sent for next day delivery by overnight delivery service, on the date of delivery as confirmed
by written confirmation of delivery, (iv) if sent by facsimile, upon the transmitter’s confirmation
of receipt of such facsimile transmission, except that if such confirmation is received after 5:00
p.m. (in the recipient’s time zone) on a business day, or is received on a day that is not a
business day, then such notice, request or communication will not be deemed effective or given
until the next succeeding business day. Notices, requests and other communications sent in any
other manner, including by electronic mail, will not be effective.
Section 4.4 Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by, and construed in
accordance with, the laws of the State of Texas, without giving effect to any choice of law
principles.
Section 4.5 Submission to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.
(a) Submission to Jurisdiction. Any action, suit or proceeding seeking to enforce any
provision of, or based on any matter arising out of or in connection with, this Agreement shall
only be brought in any federal court located in Dallas County, Texas or any Texas state court
located in Dallas County, Texas, and each party consents to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of
such courts (and of the appropriate appellate courts therefrom) in any such action, suit or
proceeding and irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection that it
may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such action, suit or proceeding in any
such court or that any such action, suit or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought
in an inconvenient forum. Process in any such action, suit or proceeding may be served on any
party anywhere in the world, whether within or without the jurisdiction of any such court. Without
limiting the foregoing, service of process on such party as provided in Section 4.3 shall
be deemed effective service of process on such party.
(b) Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ANY DISPUTE THAT MAY ARISE OUT
OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND
THEREFORE SUCH PARTY HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO JURY TRIAL OF ANY DISPUTE BASED UPON OR
ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER AGREEMENTS RELATING HERETO OR ANY DEALINGS AMONG THEM
RELATING TO THE MATTERS CONTEMPLATED HEREIN. THE SCOPE OF THIS WAIVER IS INTENDED TO ENCOMPASS ANY
AND ALL ACTIONS, SUITS AND PROCEEDINGS
Investor’s Rights Agreement (ITEK) v4
24
THAT RELATE TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS AGREEMENT AND CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, INCLUDING CONTRACT
CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS, BREACH OF DUTY CLAIMS, AND ALL OTHER COMMON LAW AND STATUTORY CLAIMS. EACH
PARTY HEREBY REPRESENTS THAT (i) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS
REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT IN THE EVENT OF ANY ACTION,
SUIT OR PROCEEDING, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (ii) SUCH PARTY UNDERSTANDS, AND WITH THE
ADVICE OF COUNSEL HAS CONSIDERED, THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (iii) SUCH PARTY MAKES THIS
WAIVER VOLUNTARILY AND (iv) SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG
OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND REPRESENTATIONS IN THIS SECTION 4.5(b).
Section 4.6 Headings. The article and section headings contained in this Agreement
are inserted for convenience only and will not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of
this Agreement.
Section 4.7 Amendments. This Agreement may be amended only by a written instrument
signed by the Company, the Purchaser and the Holders of at least a majority of the Registrable
Securities, except for Article III, which may be amended only by a written instrument
signed by the Company, the Purchaser and the Founders.
Section 4.8 Extensions; Waivers. Any party may, for itself only, (a) extend the time
for the performance of any of the obligations of any other party under this Agreement, (b) waive
any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of any other party contained herein or in
any document delivered pursuant hereto and (c) waive compliance with any of the agreements or
conditions for the benefit of such party contained herein. Any such extension or waiver will be
valid only if set forth in a writing signed by the party to be bound thereby. No waiver by any
party of any default, misrepresentation or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder, whether
intentional or not, may be deemed to extend to any prior or subsequent default, misrepresentation
or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder or affect in any way any rights arising because of any
prior or subsequent such occurrence. Neither the failure nor any delay on the part of any party to
exercise any right or remedy under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any
single or partial exercise of any right or remedy preclude any other or further exercise of the
same or of any other right or remedy.
Section 4.9 Severability. The provisions of this Agreement will be deemed severable
and the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision will not affect the validity or
enforceability of the other provisions hereof; provided that if any provision of this Agreement, as
applied to any party or to any circumstance, is judicially determined not to be enforceable in
accordance with its terms, the parties agree that the court judicially making such determination
may modify the provision in a manner consistent with its objectives such that it is enforceable,
and/or to delete specific words or phrases, and in its modified form, such provision will then be
enforceable and will be enforced.

Section 4.10 Counterparts; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in two or
more counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original but all of which together will
constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement will become effective when one or more
counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered to the other parties. For
purposes of determining whether a party has signed this Agreement or any document contemplated
hereby or any amendment or waiver hereof, only a handwritten original signature on a paper document
or a facsimile copy of such a handwritten original signature shall constitute a signature,
notwithstanding any law relating to or enabling the creation, execution or delivery of any contract
or signature by electronic means.
Section 4.11 Specific Performance; Remedies. Each party acknowledges and agrees that
the other parties would be damaged irreparably if any provision of this Agreement were not
performed in accordance with its specific terms or were otherwise breached. Accordingly, the
parties will be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of the provisions of
this Agreement and to enforce specifically this Agreement and its provisions in any action or
proceeding instituted in any court of the United States or any state thereof having jurisdiction
over the parties and the matter, in addition to any other remedy to which they may be entitled, at
law or in equity. Except as expressly provided herein, the rights, obligations and remedies
created by this Agreement are cumulative and in addition to any other rights, obligations or
remedies otherwise available at law or in equity. Except as expressly provided herein, nothing
herein will be considered an election of remedies.
Section 4.12 Construction. This Agreement has been freely and fairly negotiated
among the parties. If an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement
will be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties and no presumption or burden of proof will
arise favoring or disfavoring any party because of the authorship of any provision of this
Agreement. Any reference to any law will be deemed to refer to such law as in effect on the date
hereof and all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, unless the context requires otherwise.
The words “include,” “includes,” and “including” will be deemed to be followed by “without
limitation.” Pronouns in masculine, feminine and neuter genders will be construed to include any
other gender, and words in the singular form will be construed to include the plural and vice
versa, unless the context otherwise requires. The words “this Agreement,” “herein,” “hereof,”
“hereby,” “hereunder,” and words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to
any particular subdivision unless expressly so limited. The parties intend that each
representation, warranty and covenant contained herein will have independent significance. If any
party has breached any covenant contained herein in any respect, the fact that there exists another
covenant relating to the same subject matter (regardless of the relative levels of specificity)
which the party has not breached will not detract from or mitigate the fact that the party is in
breach of the first covenant.
