SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED STOCKHOLDERS’ AGREEMENT

This Second Amended and Restated Stockholders’ Agreement (the “Agreement”) is entered into as of April 12, 2016, and amended as of November 3, 2017, by and among Arsanis, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), the persons and entities listed on Exhibit A attached hereto (collectively with any subsequent investors or transferees who become parties hereto as Investors pursuant to Section 9.1(a), the “Investors”), and Xxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxxxxxx and Xxxxx X. Xxxxxxxx (each, individually, a “Founder” and collectively, the “Founders,” and collectively with any parties who become parties hereto as Restricted Stockholders pursuant to Section 9.1(b), the “Restricted Stockholders”). The Investors and Restricted Stockholders are referred to herein collectively as the “Stockholders”). As used in this Agreement, the term “Shares” shall include all shares of capital stock of the Company held by the Stockholders, whether now owned or hereafter acquired. For purposes of calculating an Investor’s pro rata ownership of Shares, all shares of Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (the “Series A-1 Preferred Stock”), Series A-2 Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (the “Series A-2 Preferred Stock”), Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (the “Series B Preferred Stock”) and Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (the “Series C Preferred Stock” and together with the Series A-1 Preferred Stock, Series A-2 Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock, the “Preferred Stock”) shall be deemed to have been converted into shares of Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share of the Company (the “Common Stock”).

Recitals

WHEREAS, the Founders own certain outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock;

WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, the Company and certain of the Investors are entering into a Series C Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) providing for, among other things, the sale of shares of the Company’s Series C Preferred Stock. Certain of the Investors (the “Existing Investors”) and the Restricted Stockholders are parties to that certain Amended and Restated Stockholders’ Agreement, dated as of July 30, 2013, by and among the Company and the parties thereto (such agreement, as amended as of February 9, 2015 and further amended as of May 22, 2015, the “Prior Agreement”).

WHEREAS, the parties to the Prior Agreement desire to amend and restate the Prior Agreement in its entirety to provide those Investors purchasing shares of Series C Preferred Stock with the right, among other rights, to elect certain members of the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement;

WHEREAS, the Company, the Founders and the Investors wish to (i) protect the management and control of the Company from influence by any person not acceptable to the Company and the Investors and (ii) assist the Investors in selling their Shares under certain circumstances.

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree that the provisions of the Prior Agreement are hereby amended and restated in their entirety, and hereby further agree, as follows:

1. Voting Agreement.

1.1 Voting Provisions Regarding the Board of Directors. In any and all elections of directors of the Company (whether at a meeting or by written consent in lieu of a meeting), each Stockholder shall vote or cause to be voted all Voting Shares (as defined in Section 1.2 below) owned by him, her or it or over which he, she or it has voting control, and otherwise use his, her or its best efforts, so as to:

(a) fix the number of directors at ten (10); and

(b) elect as directors:

(i) Five individuals elected by the holders of a majority of the Preferred Stock voting on an as-converted to Common Stock basis held by the Investors; provided, that each holder of Preferred Stock (including for purposes of this section, their transferees) agrees to vote all of its shares of the capital stock of the Company having voting power (and any other shares over which he, she or it exercises voting control), to the extent it holds such voting stock at the relevant time, so that at all times (A) one individual then designated by Polaris Venture Partners V, L.P. (“Polaris”) so long as Polaris is the holder of any shares of Preferred Stock, the first such designee being Xxxxxxxx XxXxxxx, (B) one individual then designated by OrbiMed Private Investments IV, LP (“OrbiMed”) so long as OrbiMed is the holder of any shares of Preferred Stock, the first such designee being Xxxx Xxxxxx, (C) one individual then designated by SV Life Sciences Fund V, L.P. (“SVLS”) so long as SVLS is the holder of any shares of Preferred Stock, the first such designee being Xxxxxxx Xxxx, and (D) one individual then designated by NeoMed Innovation V L.P. (“NeoMed”) so long as NeoMed is the holder of any shares of Preferred Stock, the first such designee being Xxxxxxx Xxxxx, are members of the Board of Directors of the Company, provided, however, that should any of Polaris, OrbiMed, SVLS or NeoMed, or their respective affiliates, cease to hold any shares of Preferred Stock, then such party shall immediately lose its right to designate a director and from that point forward, such director shall be nominated and elected by the holders of a majority of the shares of Preferred Stock held by the Investors, voting on an as-converted to Common Stock basis;

(ii) One individual designated by Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx so long as he is the holder of any shares of Common Stock, such designee to initially be Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx;

(iii) One individual designated by the Founders holding a majority of the aggregate Shares held by the Founders;

- 2 -

(iv) The Company’s most senior executive officer who is an employee of the Company, as determined by the Board of Directors, currently Xxxxxx Xxxx; and

(v) Two individuals designated by a majority of the members of the Board, such designees to initially be Xxx Xxxxxxx and Xxx Xxxxxxxx.

1.2 Voting Shares. “Voting Shares” shall mean the Shares and any and all other shares of capital stock of the Company, by whatever name called, which carry voting rights (including voting rights which arise by reason of default) which are now owned or subsequently acquired by a Stockholder, however acquired, including, without limitation, through stock splits, stock dividends, reclassifications, recapitalizations and other similar events.

1.3 Transfers of Voting Rights. Any transferee to whom Voting Shares are transferred by a Stockholder, whether voluntarily or by operation of law, shall be bound by the obligations imposed upon the transferor under this Agreement, to the same extent as if such transferee were a Stockholder hereunder, and, as a condition precedent to the Company’s recognizing such transfer, each transferee or assignee shall agree in writing to be subject to each of the terms of this Agreement by executing and delivering an Adoption Agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B. Upon the execution and delivery of an Adoption Agreement by any transferee, such transferee shall be deemed to be a party hereto as if such transferee were the transferor and such transferee’s signature appeared on the signature pages of this Agreement and shall be deemed to be an Investor and Stockholder, or Restricted Stockholder and Stockholder, as applicable. The Company shall not permit the transfer of the Voting Shares subject to this Agreement on its books or issue a new certificate representing any such Voting Shares unless and until such transferee shall have complied with the terms of this Section 1.3. Each certificate representing Voting Shares subject to this Agreement if issued on or after the date of this Agreement shall be endorsed by the Company with the legends set forth in Section 4.

1.4 Successor Directors. If a person who has been elected as a director pursuant to a designation under Section 1.1(b)(i), 1.1(b)(ii) or 1.1(b)(iii) above shall cease to serve as a director for any reason, the persons or entities who had the right to designate such person as a director under Section 1.1(b)(i), 1.1(b)(ii) or 1.1(b)(iii) above (the “Nominating Party”), shall have the right to designate a successor nominee and each of the other parties hereto who or which are entitled under the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation to vote or act by written consent with respect to the election of such successor nominee as a director shall vote or cause to be voted, or execute or cause to be executed a written consent with respect to, all Voting Shares in favor of such successor nominee. If a person who has been elected as a director under Section 1.1(b)(iv) above shall cease to serve as a director for any reason, the Board of Directors shall promptly designate the Company’s most senior executive officer who is an employee of the Company as a successor nominee and each of the other parties hereto who or which are entitled under the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation to vote or act by written consent with respect to the election of such successor nominee as a director shall vote or cause to be voted, or execute or cause to be executed a written consent with respect to, all Voting Shares in favor of such successor nominee. If a person who has been elected as a director under Section 1.1(b)(v) above shall cease to serve as a director for any reason, the Board of Directors shall promptly designate a successor nominee and each of the other parties hereto who or which are entitled under the Company’s Certificate of

- 3 -

Incorporation to vote or act by written consent with respect to the election of such successor nominee as a director shall vote or cause to be voted, or execute or cause to be executed a written consent with respect to, all Voting Shares in favor of such successor nominee. Except as provided herein, a director designated under Section 1.1(b)(i), 1.1(b)(ii), 1.1(b)(iii) or 1.1(b)(v) above may be removed during his or her term of office, with or without cause, by and only by the affirmative vote or written consent of those Nominating Parties that had the right to designate the director (or the Board of Directors in the case of a director nominated under Section 1.1(b)(v)). A director designated under Section 1.1(b)(iv) shall not be removed so long as such director remains (a) the Company’s most senior executive officer and (b) an employee of the Company. If a Nominating Party (or the Board of Directors in the case of a director nominated under Section 1.1(b)(v)) notifies the other parties hereto that it desires to remove its nominee as a director, each of the other parties hereto who or which are entitled under the Certificate of Incorporation to vote or act by written consent with respect to the removal of such nominee as a director, shall vote or cause to be voted, or execute or cause to be executed a written consent with respect to, all Voting Shares in favor of such removal. If a Nominating Party (or the Board of Directors in the case of a director nominated under Section 1.1(b)(v)) notifies the Company that it desires to remove its nominee as a director and/or designate a successor nominee by means of stockholder vote, the Company shall, at the request of such Nominating Party or the Board of Directors, as applicable, use its reasonable best efforts to ensure that a meeting of stockholders of the Company is promptly called for such purpose.

1.5 No Liability for Election of Recommended Directors. No Stockholder, nor any affiliate of any Stockholder, shall have any liability as a result of designating a person for election as a director for any act or omission by such designated person in his or her capacity as a director of the Company, nor shall any Stockholder have any liability as a result of voting for any such designee in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

1.6 Vote to Increase Authorized Common Stock. Each Stockholder agrees to vote or cause to be voted all Voting Shares owned by such Stockholder, or over which such Stockholder has voting control, from time to time and at all times, in whatever manner as shall be necessary to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock from time to time to ensure that there will be sufficient shares of Common Stock available for conversion of all of the shares of Preferred Stock outstanding at any given time.

2. Drag-Along Rights.

2.1 Definition . A “Sale of the Company” shall mean a transaction that qualifies as an “Event” pursuant to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation.

2.2 Actions to be Taken. In the event that the holders of at least a majority of the shares of Common Stock then issuable upon conversion of the shares of the then-outstanding Preferred Stock (the “Selling Investors”) approve a Sale of the Company in writing, specifying that this Section 2 shall apply to such transaction, then each Stockholder hereby agrees:

(a) if such transaction requires stockholder approval, with respect to all Voting Shares and/or any other Company securities that such Stockholder owns or over which such Stockholder otherwise exercises voting power, (i) to vote (in person, by

- 4 -

proxy or by action by written consent, as applicable) all Voting Shares in favor of, and adopt, such Sale of the Company and to vote in opposition to any and all other proposals that could reasonably be expected to delay or impair the ability of the Company to consummate such Sale of the Company, and (ii) to be present, in person or by proxy, as a holder of Voting Shares or other securities of the Company, at any related stockholder meetings that have been duly noticed and held, and be counted for the purposes of determining the presence of a quorum at such meetings;

(b) if such transaction is a sale of stock by Selling Investors, to sell the same proportion of shares of capital stock of the Company beneficially held by such Stockholder as is being sold by the Selling Investors to the person to whom the Selling Investors propose to sell their Shares, and on the same terms and conditions as the Selling Investors;

(c) to execute and deliver all related documentation and take such other action in support of the Sale of the Company as shall reasonably be requested by the Company or the Selling Investors in order to carry out the terms and provision of this Section 2, including without limitation executing and delivering instruments of conveyance and transfer, and any purchase agreement, merger agreement, indemnity agreement, escrow agreement, consent, waiver, governmental filing, share certificates duly endorsed for transfer (free and clear of impermissible liens, claims and encumbrances), and any similar or related documents;

(d) not to deposit, and to cause their affiliates not to deposit, except as provided in this Agreement, any voting securities of the Company owned by such party or affiliate in a voting trust or subject any such voting securities to any arrangement or agreement with respect to the voting of such shares of capital stock, unless specifically requested to do so by the acquirer, the Company or the Selling Investors in connection with the Sale of the Company; and

(e) to refrain from exercising any dissenters’ rights or rights of appraisal under applicable law at any time with respect to such Sale of the Company.

2.3 Exceptions. Notwithstanding the forgoing, a Stockholder will not be required to comply with Section 2.2 above in connection with any specific Sale of the Company (the “Proposed Sale”) unless:

(a) any representations and warranties to be made by such Stockholder in connection with the Proposed Sale are limited to representations and warranties related to authority, ownership of the Shares held by such Stockholder and the ability to convey title to such Shares, including but not limited to representations and warranties that (i) the Stockholder holds all right, title and interest in and to the Company’s securities such Stockholder purports to hold, free and clear of all liens and encumbrances, (ii) the obligations of the Stockholder in connection with the transaction have been duly authorized, if applicable, (iii) the documents to be entered into by the Stockholder have been duly executed and delivered to the acquirer and are enforceable against the Stockholder in accordance with their respective terms and (iv) neither the execution and

- 5 -

delivery of documents to be entered into in connection with the transaction, nor the performance of the Stockholder’s obligations thereunder, will cause a breach or violation of the terms of any agreement, law or judgment, order or decree of any court or governmental agency;

(b) the liability for indemnification, if any, of such Stockholder in the Proposed Sale, and with respect to any representation or warranty made by the Company in connection with such Proposed Sale, is several and not joint with any other person, and is pro rata in accordance with such Stockholder’s relative stock ownership of the Company;

(c) such liability shall be limited to the amount of consideration actually paid to such Stockholder in connection with such Proposed Sale, except with respect to (i) representations and warranties of such Stockholder related to authority, ownership of the Shares held by such Stockholder and the ability to convey title to such Shares, (ii) any covenants made by such Stockholder with respect to confidentiality or voting related to the Proposed Sale or (iii) claims related to fraud or willful breach by such Stockholder, the liability for which need not be limited;

(d) upon the consummation of the Proposed Sale, each holder of each series of the Company’s Preferred Stock and each holder of Common Stock will receive the same form and amount of consideration per share of such series of Preferred Stock or Common Stock, respectively, and the holders of each series of Preferred Stock and Common Stock shall, together, receive the same form and amount of consideration per share of such stock, taking into account the relative liquidation preference to which the holders of each respective series of Preferred Stock and the holders of Common Stock are entitled in a liquidation (if applicable) in accordance with the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation in effect immediately prior to the Proposed Sale, provided, however that if the consideration to be paid in exchange for the Shares pursuant to the Proposed Sale includes any securities and due receipt thereof by any Stockholder would require under applicable law (x) the registration or qualification of such securities or of any person as a broker or dealer or agent with respect to such securities or (y) the provision to any Stockholder of any information other than such information as a prudent issuer would generally furnish in an offering made solely to “accredited investors” as defined in Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Company may cause to be paid to any such Stockholder in lieu thereof, against surrender of the Shares which would have otherwise been sold by such Stockholder, an amount in cash equal to the fair value (as determined in good faith by the Company) of the securities which such Stockholder would otherwise receive as of the date of the issuance of such securities in exchange for the Shares; and

(e) if any holders of any series of Preferred Stock or of Common Stock are given an option as to the form and amount of consideration to be received as a result of the Proposed Sale, all holders of such respective series of Preferred Stock or of Common Stock will be given the same option.

- 6 -

2.4 Restrictions on Sales of Control of the Company. No Stockholder shall be a party to any sale or transfer, or series of related sales or transfers, of Voting Shares representing fifty percent (50%) or more of the then-outstanding voting power of the Company to any person or entity, or group of related persons or entities (a “Stock Sale”), unless all holders of Preferred Stock are allowed to participate in such transaction and the consideration received pursuant to such transaction is allocated among the parties thereto in the manner specified in the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation in effect immediately prior to the Stock Sale (as if such transaction were an Event pursuant to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation), unless the holders of at least a majority of the then-outstanding shares of Preferred Stock voting as a single class on an as-converted to Common Stock basis elect otherwise by written notice given to the Company at least ten (10) days prior to the effective date of any such transaction or series of related transactions.

3. Transfer of Shares.

3.1 Restrictions on Transfer By Restricted Stockholders. Any sale, assignment, transfer or other disposition, whether voluntarily or by operation of law (collectively, “Transfer”), of any Shares by a Restricted Stockholder other than according to the terms of this Agreement, shall be void and shall transfer no right, title, or interest in or to any of such Shares to the purported transferee.

3.2 Transfers By Restricted Stockholders Not Subject to Restrictions. A Restricted Stockholder may Transfer without compliance with the provisions of Sections 3.3 through 3.6 hereof (i) any or all of his Shares to his spouse, lineal ancestors or descendants (including adopted children and grandchildren) (collectively, “Family Members”) or to a trust established for the benefit of any of his Family Members, (ii) any or all of his Shares under his will or otherwise pursuant to the laws of descent and distribution, (iii) any or all of his Shares to a partnership, limited liability company or other entity controlled by such Restricted Stockholder, the partners or members of which consist solely of such Restricted Stockholder, his spouse and/or any of his other Family Members, or (iv) to a charitable organization or educational institution qualifying for exemption from Federal income taxes pursuant to Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, provided in the case of each such Transfer that the transferee delivers a written instrument to the other parties hereto agreeing to be bound by the terms hereof as if he, she or it were a Restricted Stockholder and, in the case of Transfer from a Founder, a Founder.

3.3 Offer of Transfer; Notice of Proposed Transfer. If a Restricted Stockholder desires to Transfer any of his Shares, or any interest in such Shares, in any transaction other than pursuant to Section 3.2 of this Agreement, such Restricted Stockholder (a “Selling Restricted Stockholder”) shall first deliver written notice of his desire to do so (the “Seller’s Notice”) to the Company and each Investor in the manner prescribed in Section 9.7 of this Agreement. The Seller’s Notice must specify (i) the name and address of the party to which the Selling Restricted Stockholder proposes to Transfer the Shares or an interest in the Shares (the “Offeror”), (ii) the number of Shares the Selling Restricted Stockholder proposes to Transfer (the “Offered Shares”), (iii) the consideration per Offered Share to be delivered to the Selling Restricted Stockholder (if applicable) for the proposed Transfer, and (iv) all other material terms and conditions of the proposed transaction.

3.4 Company’s Option to Purchase.

- 7 -

(a) The Company shall have the first option to purchase all or any part of the Offered Shares of a Selling Restricted Stockholder for the consideration per share and on the terms and conditions no less favorable than those specified in the Seller’s Notice. The Company must exercise such option no later than 15 days after such Seller’s Notice is deemed under Section 9.7 hereof to have been delivered to it by giving written notice to the Selling Restricted Stockholder.

(b) In the event the Company does not exercise its option within such 15-day period with respect to all or part of the Offered Shares of a Selling Restricted Stockholder, the Secretary of the Company shall, by the last day of such period, give written notice of that fact to each Investor (the “Investor Notice”). The Investor Notice shall specify the number of Offered Shares of a Selling Restricted Stockholder not purchased by the Company (the “Remaining Shares”).

(c) In the event the Company duly exercises its option to purchase all or part of the Offered Shares of a Selling Restricted Stockholder, the closing of such purchase shall take place at the offices of the Company on the later of (i) the date that is five days after the expiration of such 15-day period or (ii) the date that the Investors consummate their purchases of Offered Shares under Section 3.5 hereof.

(d) To the extent that the consideration proposed to be paid by the Offeror for the Offered Shares consists of property other than cash or a promissory note, the consideration required to be paid by the Company and/or the Investors when exercising their options under Sections 3.4 and 3.5 hereof may consist of cash equal to the value of such property, as determined in good faith by agreement of the Selling Restricted Stockholder, the Company and/or the Investors acquiring such Offered Shares.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, neither the Company nor the Investors shall have any right to purchase any of the Offered Shares hereunder unless the Company and/or the Investors exercise their option or options to purchase all of the Offered Shares.

3.5 Investors’ Option to Purchase.

(a) Each Investor shall have an option, exercisable for a period of 15 days from the date of delivery of the Investor Notice, to purchase its pro rata share of the Remaining Shares for the consideration per share and on terms and conditions no less favorable than those set forth in the Seller’s Notice. Such option shall be exercised by delivery of written notice to the Secretary of the Company. Alternatively, each Investor may within the same 15-day period notify the Secretary of the Company and the Selling Restricted Stockholder in writing of its desire to participate in the sale of the Shares pursuant to Section 3.6 on the terms set forth in the Seller’s Notice and the number of Shares it proposes to sell.

(b) In the event options to purchase have been exercised by the Investors with respect to some but not all of the Remaining Shares, those Investors who have exercised their options within the 15-day period specified in Section 3.5(a) shall have an additional

- 8 -

option, for a period of five (5) days next succeeding the expiration of such 15-day period, to purchase all or any part of the balance of such Remaining Shares on terms and conditions no less favorable than those set forth in the Seller’s Notice, which option shall be exercised by the delivery of written notice to the Secretary of the Company. In the event there are two or more such Investors that choose to exercise the last-mentioned option for a total number of Shares in excess of the number available, the Shares available for each such Investor’s option shall be allocated to such Investor pro rata based on the number of shares of Preferred Stock calculated on an as-converted to Common Stock basis owned by the Investors so electing.

(c) If the options to purchase the Remaining Shares are exercised in full by the Investors, the Secretary of the Company shall promptly notify all of the exercising Investors of that fact. The closing of the purchase of the Remaining Shares shall take place at the offices of the Company no later than five days after the date of such notice to the Investors.

(d) Any Shares sold by a Selling Restricted Stockholder in compliance with the provisions of Sections 3.3 through 3.6 of this Agreement shall be transferred free and clear of the covenants, agreements and restrictions set forth in Section 3 of this Agreement, provided, that, the transferee and any subsequent transferee of the Shares shall hold the Shares so acquired subject to all other covenants, agreements and restrictions imposed by this Agreement and shall be deemed a party to this Agreement for all other purposes. As a condition to any such Transfer, (i) the transferor shall notify the Company and the other Stockholders thereof, which notice shall include a brief description of such Transfer and (ii) each transferee shall execute and deliver a written instrument agreeing to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement (other than the provisions of this Section 3).

3.6 Failure to Fully Exercise Options; Co-Sale Rights with Respect to Selling Restricted Stockholder.

(a) If the Company and the Investors do not exercise their options to purchase all of the Offered Shares within the periods described in this Agreement (the “Option Period”), then all options of the Company and the Investors to purchase the Offered Shares, whether exercised or not, shall terminate; but each Investor who has, pursuant to Section 3.5(a), expressed a desire to sell Shares in the transaction (“Participating Investors”) shall be entitled to do so pursuant to this Section. The Secretary of the Company shall promptly, upon expiration of the Option Period, notify the Selling Restricted Stockholder of the aggregate number of Shares the Participating Investors wish to sell. The Selling Restricted Stockholder shall use his best efforts to interest the Offeror in purchasing, in addition to the Offered Shares, the Shares the Participating Investors wish to sell. If the Offeror does not wish to purchase all of the Shares made available by the Selling Restricted Stockholder and the Participating Investors, then each Participating Investor and the Selling Restricted Stockholder shall be entitled to sell, at the price and on terms and conditions no less favorable than those set forth in the Seller’s Notice, a portion of the Shares being sold to the Offeror, in the same proportion as their respective ownership of Shares calculated on an as-converted to Common Stock

- 9 -

basis bears to the aggregate number of Shares calculated on an as-converted to Common Stock basis owned by the Selling Restricted Stockholder and the Participating Investors. The transaction contemplated by the Seller’s Notice shall be consummated no later than 60 days after the expiration of the Option Period.

(b) The Selling Restricted Stockholder shall be entitled to sell to the Offeror, according to the terms set forth in the Seller’s Notice, that number of Offered Shares which equals the difference between the number of Offered Shares desired to be purchased by the Offeror and (if applicable) the number of Shares the Participating Investors are entitled to sell in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3.6. If the Selling Restricted Stockholder wishes to Transfer any such Offered Shares at a price per Offered Share which differs from that set forth in the Seller’s Notice, upon terms that differ in any material respect from those previously offered to the Company and the Investors, or more than 60 days after the expiration of the Option Period, then, as a condition precedent to such transaction, such Offered Shares must first be offered to the Company and the Investors (if applicable) on terms and conditions no less favorable than those given the Offeror, and in accordance with the procedures and time periods set forth above.

(c) The proceeds of any sale made by a Selling Restricted Stockholder without compliance with the provisions of this Section 3.6 shall be deemed to be held in constructive trust in such amount as would have been due the Participating Investors if the Selling Restricted Stockholder had complied with this Agreement. The contents of any such trust shall be delivered to the Participating Investors upon surrender of the applicable Shares to the Selling Restricted Stockholder.

3.7 Exception for Drag-Along Rights. This Section 3 shall not apply to any sale by a Restricted Stockholder pursuant to a Sale of the Company that the Selling Investors (i) have approved and (ii) with respect to which the Selling Investors have specified in writing that Section 2 of this Agreement shall apply.

4. Restrictive Legends.

4.1 Voting Shares. All certificates representing Voting Shares owned or hereafter acquired by the Stockholders or any transferee bound by this Agreement shall have affixed thereto a legend substantially in the following form:

The shares of stock represented by this certificate are subject to certain agreements as set forth in a Stockholders’ Agreement, as may be amended from time to time, by and among the registered owner of this certificate, the Company and certain other stockholders of the Company, a copy of which is available for inspection by a prospective investor without charge at the office of the Secretary of the Company.

Each Restricted Stockholder agrees to present the certificates representing Voting Shares owned or hereafter acquired by him to the Secretary of the Company and cause the Secretary to stamp on the certificate in a prominent manner such a legend.

- 10 -

4.2 Transfer Restriction. Each Restricted Stockholder agrees to present the certificates representing the Shares presently owned or hereafter acquired by him to the Secretary of the Company and cause the Secretary to stamp on the certificate in a prominent manner the following legend:

The sale or other disposition of any of the shares represented by this certificate is restricted by a Stockholders’ Agreement, as may be amended from time to time, among certain of the shareholders of this Company and this Company, a copy of which is available for inspection by a prospective purchaser without charge at the office of the Secretary of the Company.
