ARTICLE 1
LOCK-UP
1.1 Restrictions on Transfer. From the date hereof through and including the end of the Lock-Up Period (as defined below), each of the Holders hereby agrees that it shall not offer to sell, contract to sell, or otherwise sell, dispose of, loan, pledge or grant any rights with respect to (collectively, a "Disposition") any Subject Shares, other than: (i) as a bona fide gift or gifts, provided the donee or donees thereof agree in writing to be bound by this Agreement; (ii) as a distribution to one or more wholly-owned subsidiaries, partners, stockholders or beneficiaries of such person, provided that the distributees thereof agree in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement; (iii) as a transfer to a
trust the beneficiaries of which are exclusively such Holder, a member or members of his or her immediate family (if a natural person) and/or a charity, provided that the trust agrees in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement; (iv) with respect to sales of shares acquired on the open market after the date of this; (v) with the prior written consent of each of the other parties to this Agreement; (vi) pursuant to a tender offer made by the Company or by a third person as to which the Company's Board of Directors has not publicly announced its opposition; (vii) in the case of Vertex, to any venture fund managed by Vertex Venture Holdings Ltd. or its affiliates; or (viii) in the case of Asia Pacific, to any venture fund managed by Asia Pacific Growth Fund III, L.P. or its affiliates.

2.2 Power; Binding Agreement. The Holder has all requisite powers and authority to enter into and perform all of its obligations under this Agreement. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Holder will not violate any agreement to which the Holder is a party including, without limitation, any pledge agreement, stockholders agreement or trust agreement. This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by the Holder and constitutes a legally and valid and binding obligation of the Holder, enforceable against the Holder in accordance with its terms, except as may be limited by (a) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws relating to or limiting creditors' rights generally or (b) general principles of equity relating to enforceability, whether considered in a proceeding at law or in equity. There is no beneficiary or holder of any interest of any trust of which the Holder is a trustee whose consent is required for the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the compliance by the Holder with the terms hereof.
2.3 No Conflicts. None of the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Holder, the consummation by the Holder of the transactions contemplated hereby or compliance by the Holder with any of the provisions hereof shall (a) conflict with or violate any agreement, law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decision or other instrument binding upon the Holder or any of the Holder's properties or assets, nor require any consent, notification, regulatory filing or approval which has not been obtained, (b) result in any violation or breach of, or constitute (with or without due notice or lapse of time or both) a default (or give to any third party right of termination, cancellation, material modification or acceleration) under any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any material note, bond, mortgage, indenture, contract, agreement, lease, license, permit, franchise or other instrument or obligation to which the Holder is a party or by which the Holder or any of its properties or assets may be bound or affected, or (c) conflict with, or result in any breach of, any organizational documents applicable to the Holder (if applicable).
ARTICLE 3

ARTICLE 4
MISCELLANEOUS
4.1 Specific Performance. Each party hereto recognizes and agrees that, if for any reason any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed by the other parties in accordance with their specific terms or are otherwise breached, immediate and irreparable harm or injury would be caused to the non-breaching parties for which money damages would not be an adequate remedy. Accordingly, the parties agree that, in addition to any other available remedies, the non-breaching parties shall be entitled to an injunction restraining any violation or threatened violation of the provisions of this Agreement without the necessity of the non-breaching parties posting a bond or other form of security. In the event that any action should be brought in equity to enforce the provisions of this Agreement, the breaching party will not allege, and the breaching party hereby waives the defense, that there is an adequate remedy at law.
4.2 Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement which is invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction by any rule or law or public policy shall, as to that jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without rendering invalid, illegal or unenforceable the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity, legality or enforceability of any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction. Without limiting the foregoing, upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law in an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the fullest extent possible.
4.3 Amendment; Waiver. This Agreement may be amended, modified, superseded, canceled, renewed or extended only by and agreement in writing executed by all of the Holders. The failure by any of the Holders at any time to require performance or compliance by any of the other parties of any of their respective obligations or agreements will in no way affect the right to require such performance or compliance at any time thereafter. The waiver by any of the Holders of a breach of any provision of this Agreement will not be treated as a waiver of any preceding or succeeding breach of such provision or as a waiver of the provision itself. No waiver of any kind will be effective or binding, unless it is in writing and is signed by the party against whom such waiver is sought to be enforced.
4.4 Assignment. This Agreement and all of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder may not be transferred or assigned, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto; provided, however, that the Holders may assign their rights, together with their obligations hereunder, to any parent, subsidiary, affiliate or success of such Holder, or in connection with any sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of the business and assets of such Holder or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, whether by sale of stock, sale of assets, merger, consolidation or otherwise if such assignee assumes the Holder's obligations hereunder. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the parties and their respective successors and assigns.
4.5 Headings. The headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.
4.6 Notices. Any and all notices required or permitted to be given to a party pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement will be in writing and will be effective and deemed to provide such party sufficient notice under this Agreement on the earliest of the following: (i) at the time of personal delivery, if delivery is in person; (ii) one (1) business day after deposit with an express overnight courier for United States deliveries, or two (2) business days after such deposit for deliveries outside of the United States; or (iii) three (3) business days after deposit in the United States mail by registered
4
or certified mail (return receipt requested) for United States deliveries. All notices for delivery outside the United States will be sent by express courier. All notices not delivered personally will be sent with postage and/or other charges prepaid and properly addressed to the party to be notified at the address set forth below, or at such other address as such other party may designate by ten (10) days advance written notice to the other parties hereto.
