7.1. "Piggyback" Registration. In the event that, at any time or from
time to time during the period commencing immediately after the closing of the
Corporation's initial public offering of Common Stock and ending on the
Registration Rights Termination Date (as defined below), the Corporation
proposes to register any of its Common Stock under the Securities Act, whether
as a result of an offering of Common Stock for the account of the Company or any
selling stockholder, the Corporation shall, each such time, give to the Investor
written notice of its intent to do so. Upon the written request of the Investor
given within 30 days after the giving of any such notice by the Corporation, the
Corporation shall use its best efforts to cause to be included in such
registration such number of the Conversion Shares as the Investor shall have
specified in its notice to the Corporation (the "Requested Conversion Shares");
provided that (i) the Requested Conversion Shares are equal to at least fifty
percent (50%) of the total number of Conversion Shares then outstanding, (ii)
the Investor agrees to sell the Requested Conversion Shares in the same manner
and on the same terms and conditions as the other shares of Common Stock which
the Corporation proposes to register, and (iii) if the registration is to
include shares of Common Stock to be sold for the account of the Corporation,
the proposed managing underwriter does not advise the Corporation that in its
opinion the inclusion of the Requested Conversion Shares (without any reduction
in the number of shares to be sold for the account of the Corporation) is likely
to affect adversely the success of the offering or the price the Corporation
would receive for any shares of Common Stock offered by it pursuant thereto, in
which case the rights of the Investor shall be as provided in Section 7.2 below.
For purposes hereof, the term "Registration Rights Termination Date" shall mean
the date upon which the Investor may dispose of shares of Common Stock pursuant
to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act.
7.2. Underwriting Requirements; Reduction of Shares to be Included in a
Registration. In connection with any offering involving an underwriting of
shares of Common Stock, the Corporation shall not be required under Section 7.1
hereof or otherwise to include any of the Requested Conversion Shares therein
unless the Investor accepts and agrees to the terms of the underwriting as
agreed upon between the Corporation and the underwriters selected by the
Corporation, and then only in such quantity as (without any reduction in the
numbers of shares to be sold for the account of the Corporation, if any) will
not, in the opinion of the underwriters, jeopardize the success of the offering
or the price the Corporation would receive for any shares of Common Stock
offered by it, if any, pursuant to the offering. If the total number of shares
of Common Stock which all selling
14
- 13 -
stockholders of the Corporation (including, without limitation, the Investor)
desire to be included in any offering exceeds the number of shares which the
underwriters believe to be compatible with the success of the offering or the
price the Corporation would receive for any shares of Common Stock offered by
it, if any, pursuant to the offering, the Corporation shall only be required to
include in the offering so many of the shares of Common Stock of the selling
shareholders (including, without limitation, the Investor) as the underwriters
believe will not (without any reduction in the number of shares to be sold for
the account of the Corporation, if any) jeopardize the success of the offering
or the price the Corporation would receive for any shares of Common Stock
offered by it, if any, pursuant to the offering (the selling shareholders'
shares so included to be apportioned pro rata among the selling shareholders
according to the total number of shares of Common Stock owned by said selling
shareholders, or in such other proportions as shall mutually be agreed to by
such selling shareholders), provided that no such reduction shall be made with
respect to any securities offered for the account of the Corporation.
7.3. Furnish Information. It shall be a condition precedent to the
obligations of the Corporation to take any action pursuant to this Section 7
that the Investor shall furnish to the Corporation such information regarding
the Investor and the shares of Common Stock held by the Investor as the
Corporation shall reasonably request and as shall be required in order to effect
any such registration by the Corporation.
7.4. Expenses of Registration. All expenses incurred in connection with
a registration pursuant to this Section 7 (excluding underwriting commissions
and discounts and counsel fees of the Investor or of any other selling
shareholders of the Corporation), including without limitation all registration
and qualification fees, printing, and fees and disbursements of counsel for the
Corporation, shall be borne by the Corporation; provided, however, that the
Corporation shall not be required to pay for Blue Sky registration or
qualification expenses in connection with states in which the Corporation is not
registering or qualifying its original issue shares.
7.5 Underwriter's Lock-Up. In consideration of the registration rights
granted by the Corporation pursuant to this Section 7, the Investor agrees that,
at the request of the managing underwriter of any underwritten public offering
of Common Stock, the Investor shall not sell, assign, gift, pledge or otherwise
transfer, or exercise any registration rights with respect to, any shares of
Common Stock at any time during the period of 180 days following the closing of
any such underwritten public offering. The foregoing restriction on the
Investor's exercise of registration rights during any such 180 day period shall
be applicable only to the extent that no other person shall exercise
registration rights in respect of equity securities of the Company during such
180 day period.

SECTION 8. RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER.
8.1. General Restriction. None of the Securities shall be sold,
transferred, assigned, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of by any
Person unless and until such Securities proposed to be sold, transferred,
assigned, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of are so disposed of (A)
pursuant to and in conformity with (i) an effective registration statement filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Act or
(ii) any then available exemption from the registration requirements of the
Securities Act, (B) pursuant to and in conforming with any applicable state
securities or blue sky laws, and (C) pursuant and in conformity with the
provisions of this Section 8 (including, without limitation, this Section 8.1
and Section 8.3 hereof), to the extent applicable. Any transfer or purported
transfer in violation of this Section 8, including, without limitation, this
Section 8.1 and Section 8.3 hereof, shall be null and void. The Corporation may
make a notation on its records or give instructions to any transfer agents of
the Securities in order to implement the restrictions on transfer set forth in
this Section 8. The Corporation shall not incur any liability for any delay in
recognizing any transfer of Securities if the Corporation reasonably believes

the Securities Act, applicable blue sky laws or this Agreement.
8.2. Legend. Each certificate representing any of the Series C Shares
or Conversion Shares shall bear the following legend:

such Person shall, as a condition precedent to such transfer, agree in writing
to become bound by all of the terms and provisions of this Section 8 and Section
9 hereof. The foregoing proviso of this Section 8.3 shall not be applicable with
respect to Securities that are transferred pursuant to a registration statement
that has been delivered effective

Securities Act.
SECTION 9. VOTING AGREEMENT. The Investor hereby agrees that it shall

rights) by the Investor in favor of any Board member nominations or removals
pursuant to, and in accordance with, all of the terms, provisions and conditions
of Section 5 of the Stockholders' Agreement to the same extent as if the
Investor were a party to the Stockholders' Agreement. Without limiting the
generality of any of the provisions of Section 5 of the Stockholders' Agreement,
the provisions of this Section 9 shall terminate upon the closing of the
Company's initial public offering.
SECTION 10. FINANCIAL REPORTS. Until such time as the Corporation has a
class of its equity securities registered under the Exchange Act and is required
to file reports thereunder pursuant to Sections 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act,
the Corporation shall furnish to the Investor (so long as the Investor is the
record owner of any of the Series C Shares) with the financial information
described below:
(a) Within 45 days after the end of each quarterly accounting
period, unaudited financial statements for such quarterly accounting period,
which shall include an income statement and a statement of cash flow for such

SECTION 11. INDEMNIFICATION.
11.1. Indemnification by the Corporation. The Corporation hereby agrees
to indemnify, defend and hold the Investor (and its directors, officers,
employees, agents and affiliates) harmless from and with respect to any and all
claims, liabilities, losses, damages, costs and expenses (including, without
limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) related to or
arising out of, directly or indirectly, any untruth, inaccuracy, failure or

11.2. Indemnification by the Investor. The Investor hereby agrees to
indemnify, defend and hold the Corporation (and its directors, officers,
employees, agents and affiliates) harmless from and with respect to any and all
claims, liabilities, losses, damages, costs and expenses (including, without
limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) related to or
arising out of, directly or indirectly, any untruth, inaccuracy, failure or
breach by the Investor of any representation or warranty, covenant, obligation
or undertaking made by the Investor in this Agreement.
11.3. Indemnification Procedures. Either party seeking indemnification
hereunder (the "Indemnified Party") shall promptly notify the other party hereto
obligated to provide indemnification hereunder (the "Indemnifying Party") of any
action, suit, proceeding, demand, breach or claim (each, a "Claim") with respect
to which the Indemnified Party claims indemnification hereunder, provided that
failure of the Indemnified Party to give such notice shall not relieve any
Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Section 11 except to the
extent, if at all, that such Indemnifying Party shall have been prejudiced
thereby. If such Claim relates to any action, suit, proceeding or demand
instituted against the Indemnified Party by a third party (a "Third Party
Claim"), upon receipt of such notice from the Indemnified Party, the
Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense of such Third
Party Claim, and if and only if each of the following conditions is satisfied,
the Indemnifying Party may assume the defense of such Third Party Claim, and, in
the case of such an assumption, the Indemnifying Party shall have the authority
to negotiate, compromise and settle such Third Party Claim:
(a) the Indemnifying Party confirms in writing that it is
obligated hereunder to indemnify the Indemnified Party with respect to such
Third Party Claim; and
(b) the Indemnified Party does not give the Indemnifying Party
written notice that it has determined, in the exercise of its reasonable
discretion, that matters of corporate or management policy or a conflict of
interest make separate representation by the Indemnified Party's own counsel
advisable.
The Indemnified Party shall retain the right to employ its own counsel and to
participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim, the defense of which has
been assumed by the Indemnifying Party pursuant hereto, but the Indemnified
Party shall bear and shall be solely responsible for its own costs and expenses
in connection with such participation.
11.4. Notice and Payment of Claims. In the event of any Claims under
Section 11.1 or 11.2 hereof, the Indemnified Party shall advise the Indemnifying
Party in writing of the amount and circumstances surrounding such Claim. Subject
18
- 17 -
to the Indemnifying Party's right pursuant to Section 11.3 hereof to defend,
negotiate, compromise and settle a Third Party Claim, the amount of any Claim
shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party forthwith on demand. If the Indemnifying
Party fails to pay any such Claim forthwith on demand, the Indemnified Party may
(i) proceed directly against the Indemnifying Party to recover the amount of
such Claim or (ii) set off the amount of such Claim against amounts owed by the
Indemnified Party to the Indemnifying Party. With respect to liquidated Claims,
if within thirty days of receiving notice of any such Claim the Indemnifying
Party has not contested such Claim in writing, the Indemnifying Party shall be
deemed to have accepted the validity of such Claim and the Indemnifying Party's
obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party with respect to such Claim
pursuant to this Section 11.
SECTION 12. SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. The
representations and warranties set forth herein shall survive the Closing for a
period of two (2) years; provided, however, that the representations and
warranties set forth in Section 4.13 hereof shall survive the Closing
indefinitely. All covenants contained herein shall survive indefinitely until,

waiver or termination.
SECTION 15. MISCELLANEOUS. This Agreement and the R&D Agreement set

otherwise affect the meaning hereof. This Agreement is intended to take effect
as a sealed instrument and may be executed in any number of counterparts which

in accordance with the domestic substantive laws of the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision

state, and shall bind and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their
respective successors and permitted assigns. Except to the extent otherwise
provided in Section 3.2(b) hereof, this Agreement and the rights and obligations
hereunder of either party hereto may not be assigned, transferred or delegated
without the prior written consent of the other party hereto.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Series C
