2. Registration Rights. The Company covenants and agrees as follows:
2.1 Demand Registration.
(a) Form S-1 Demand. If, at any time after 180 days after the effective date of the registration statement for the Company IPO (or the subsequent date on which all lock-up periods applicable to the Company IPO have terminated), the Company receives a written request from Holders of at least 50% of the Registrable Securities then outstanding that the Company file a Form S-1 with respect to at least 50% of the Registrable Securities then outstanding (or a lesser percent if the anticipated aggregate offering price, net of Selling Expenses, would exceed $50,000,000), then the Company shall (A) within 20 days after the Companys receipt of such request, give written notice thereof (the Form S-1 Demand Notice) to all Holders other than the Initiating Holders and (B) as soon as practicable, and in any event within 60 days after the Companys receipt of such request, file a Form S-1 under the Securities Act covering all Registrable Securities that the Initiating Holders requested to be registered and any additional Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration by any other Holders, as specified in a written notice given by each such Holder to the Company by no later than the 20th day after the date on which the Form S-1 Demand Notice is, pursuant to Section 8.5, deemed to have been delivered to such Holder, and, in each case, subject to the limitations of this Section 2. Any registration statement filed pursuant to this Section 2.1(a) may, subject to the provisions of Section 2.3, include Company Shares (as defined in Section 2.3(a)) or Other Shares.

(b) Form S-3 Demand. If, at any time when the Company is eligible to use a Form S-3, the Company receives a written request from Holders of at least 30% of the Registrable Securities then outstanding that the Company file a Form S-3 with respect to Registrable Securities then outstanding of such Holders having an anticipated aggregate offering price, net of Selling Expenses, of at least $5,000,000, then the Company shall (i) within 20 days after the Companys receipt of such request, give a written notice thereof (the Form S-3 Demand Notice) to all Holders other than the Initiating Holders and (ii) as soon as practicable, and in any event within 45 days after the Companys receipt of such request, file a Form S-3 under the Securities Act covering all Registrable Securities that the Initiating Holders requested to be registered and any additional Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration by any other Holders, as specified in a written notice given by each such Holder to the Company by no later than the tenth day after the date on which the Form S-3 Demand Notice is, pursuant to Section 8.5, deemed to have been delivered to such Holder, and, in each case, subject to the limitations of this Section 2. Any registration statement filed pursuant to this Section 2.1(b) may, subject to the provisions of Section 2.3, include Company Shares (as defined in Section 2.3(a)) or Other Shares.
(c) Deferral. Notwithstanding the foregoing obligations in Section 2.1(a) and Section 2.1(b), if the Company furnishes to the Holders requesting a registration pursuant to this Section 2.1 a certificate signed by the Companys Chief Executive Officer or President stating that, in the good faith judgment of the Board, it would be materially detrimental to the Company and its stockholders for such registration statement to be filed and it is therefore necessary to defer the filing of such registration statement, then the Company shall have the right to defer taking action with respect to such filing, and any time periods with respect to filing or effectiveness thereof shall be tolled correspondingly, for a period of not more than 120 days after delivery to the Company by the Initiating Holders of such registration request; provided, however, that the Company may not invoke this right more than once in any 12-month period; provided, further, that the Company shall not register any securities for its own account or that of any other stockholder during such 120-day period other than pursuant to an Excluded Registration.
(d) Limitations. The Company shall not be obligated to effect, or to take any action to effect, any registration pursuant to Section 2.1(a): (i) during the period that is 60 days before the Companys good faith estimate of the date of filing of, and ending on a date that is 180 days after the effective date of, a Company-initiated registration, provided that the Company is actively employing, in good faith, commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective; (ii) if the Company has already effected two (2) registrations pursuant to Section 2.1(a); or (iii) if the Initiating Holders propose to dispose of shares of Registrable Securities that may be immediately registered on Form S-3 pursuant to a request made pursuant to Section 2.1(b). The Company shall not be obligated to effect, or to take any action to effect, any registration pursuant to Section 2.1(b): (i) during the period that is 30 days before the Companys good faith estimate of the date of filing of, and ending on a date that is 90 days after the effective date of, a Company-initiated registration, provided that the Company is actively employing, in good faith, commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective; or (ii) if the Company has already effected two (2) registrations pursuant to Section 2.1(b) within the 12-month period immediately preceding the date of such request. A registration shall not be counted as effected for purposes of this Section 2.1(d) until such time as the applicable registration statement has been declared effective by the SEC; provided, however, that if (i) Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities to be registered withdraw the request for such registration or a sufficient number of Holders withdraw from such registration so that the minimum offering conditions set forth in Section 2.1(a) or Section 2.1(b), as applicable, are no longer satisfied and (ii) the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities agree to
6
forfeit their right to one registration pursuant to Section 2.1(a) or Section 2.1(b), as the case may be, as described in Section 2.6, with the Company paying the Withdrawn Registration Expenses (as defined in Section 2.6), then such withdrawn registration statement shall be counted as effected for purposes of this Section 2.1(d).
2.2 Company Registration. If the Company proposes to register (including, for this purpose, a registration effected by the Company for stockholders other than the Holders) any of its Common Stock under the Securities Act in connection with the public offering of such securities solely for cash (other than in an Excluded Registration), then the Company shall, at such time, promptly give each Holder written notice of such registration (the Company Notice). Upon the written request of each Holder given to the Company by no later than the 20th day after the date on which the Company Notice is, pursuant to Section 8.5, deemed to have been delivered to such Holder, the Company shall, subject to the provisions of Section 2.3, cause to be registered all of the Registrable Securities that each such Holder has so requested to be included in such registration. The Company shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under this Section 2.2 before the effective date of such registration, whether or not any Holder has elected to include Registrable Securities in such registration. The expenses of such withdrawn registration (other than Selling Expenses) shall be borne by the Company in accordance with Section 2.6.
2.3 Underwriting Requirements.
(a) If, pursuant to Section 2.1, the Initiating Holders intend to distribute the Registrable Securities covered by their request by means of an underwriting, they shall so advise the Company as part of their request made pursuant to Section 2.1, and the Company shall include such information in the Form S-1 Demand Notice. The underwriter(s) will be selected by the Company and shall be reasonably acceptable to a majority in interest of the Initiating Holders. If, within 20 days after the Companys receipt of a written registration request pursuant to Section 2.1, the Company delivers to the Initiating Holders a written request to include in such registration (x) securities being sold for the Companys own account (Company Shares) or (y) Other Shares, then the Initiating Holders shall, on behalf of all Holders, offer to include the Company Shares and such Other Shares in the underwriting. All Holders proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting shall, together with the Company as provided in Section 2.4(e) and the holders of any Other Shares that are to be included in such underwriting and registration (such holders, the Other Holders), enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter(s) selected for such underwriting. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2, if the managing underwriter(s) advise(s) the Initiating Holders, in writing, that marketing factors require a limitation on the number of shares to be underwritten, then the Initiating Holders shall so notify the Company, all Holders of Registrable Securities that otherwise would be underwritten and registered and all Other Holders, in writing, and the number of Registrable Securities, Company Shares and Other Shares that may be included in such underwriting and registration shall be allocated as follows: (i) first, among all Holders that requested inclusion of any Registrable Securities in such registration statement, including the Initiating Holders, in proportion (as nearly as practicable) to the number of Registrable Securities held by each selling Holder (or in such other proportion as shall mutually be agreed to, in writing, by all such selling Holders), provided, however, that the number of Registrable Securities held by the Holders to be included in such underwriting shall
7
not be reduced unless all other securities are first entirely excluded from the underwriting; (ii) second, to the Other Holders; and (iii) third, to the Company. To facilitate the allocation of shares in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.3(a), the Company or the underwriter(s) may round the number of shares allocated to any Holder or Other Holder, as the case may be, to the nearest 100 shares.
(b) In connection with any offering involving an underwriting of shares of the Companys capital stock pursuant to Section 2.2 (each, a Company Offering), the Company will not be required to include any Registrable Securities in such Company Offering unless the Holders of the Registrable Securities to be included in such Company Offering accept the terms of the underwriting as agreed upon between the Company and the underwriter(s) selected by the Company (and enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter(s)selected for such Company Offering), and then only in such quantity, as determined in the sole discretion of the underwriter(s) and the Company, as will not jeopardize the success of such Company Offering. If the total number of securities, including Registrable Securities, requested by stockholders of the Company to be included in a Company Offering exceeds the number of securities to be sold (other than by the Company) that the underwriter(s) and the Company determine is compatible with the success of such Company Offering, then the Company will be required to include in such Company Offering only that number of such securities, including Registrable Securities, which the underwriter(s) and the Company in their sole discretion determine will not jeopardize the success of such Company Offering. If the underwriter(s) and the Company determine that less than all of the Registrable Securities requested to be registered can be included in a Company Offering, then the Registrable Securities that are included in such Company Offering shall be allocated among the selling Holders in proportion (as nearly as practicable) to the number of Registrable Securities held by each selling Holder (or in such other proportion as shall mutually be agreed to, in writing, by all such selling Holders). To facilitate the allocation of shares in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.3(b), the Company or the underwriter(s) may round the number of shares allocated to any Holder or Other Holder, as the case may be, to the nearest 100 shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the number of Registrable Securities to be included in a Company Offering (i) be reduced unless all other securities (other than securities to be sold by the Company) are first entirely excluded from such Company Offering or (ii) be reduced below 30% of the total number of securities included in such Company Offering, unless such Company Offering is the Company IPO, in which case the selling Holders may be excluded further if the underwriter(s) and the Company make the determination described above and no other stockholders securities are included in such Company Offering. For purposes of the provisions in this Section 2.3(b) concerning apportionment, for any selling Holder that is a partnership, limited liability company or corporation, the partners, members, retired partners, retired members, stockholders and Affiliates of such Holder, or the estates and Immediate Family Members of any such partners, members, retired partners and retired members and any trusts for the benefit of any of the foregoing Persons, shall be deemed to be a single selling Holder, and any pro rata reduction with respect to such selling Holder shall be based upon the aggregate number of Registrable Securities owned by all Persons included in such selling Holder, as defined in this sentence.
8
(c) For purposes of Section 2.1, a registration shall not be counted as effected if, as a result of an exercise of the underwriters and the Companys cutback in Section 2.3(a), fewer than fifty percent (50%) of the total number of Registrable Securities that Holders have requested to be included in such registration statement are actually included.
2.4 Obligations of the Company. Whenever required under this Section 2 to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to:
(a) prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement with respect to such Registrable Securities and cause such registration statement to become effective and, upon the request of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities registered thereunder, keep such registration statement effective for a period of up to 90 days or, if shorter, until the distribution contemplated therein has been completed; provided, however, that such 90-day period shall be extended for a period of time equal to the period that the Holders refrain, at the request of an underwriter of Common Stock (or other securities) of the Company, from selling any securities included in such registration;
(b) prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to the registration statement with respect to such Registrable Securities, or prospectus forming a part thereto, as may be necessary to comply with the Securities Act in order to enable the disposition of all Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement for the period set forth in Section 2.4(a);
(c) furnish to the selling Holders such number of copies of a prospectus (including a preliminary prospectus) as required by the Securities Act and such other documents incident thereto as such Holders may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of their Registrable Securities included in such registration;
(d) register and qualify the Registrable Securities covered by the registration statement under such other securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as shall be reasonably requested by the selling Holders; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to qualify to do business, or to file a general consent to service of process, in any such states or jurisdictions;
(e) in the event of any underwritten public offering, enter into an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary form, with the underwriter(s) of such offering, provided that each Holder participating in such underwriting also enters into such agreement;
(f) cause all Registrable Securities covered by the registration statement to be listed on a national securities exchange or trading system and each securities exchange and trading system (if any) on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed;
(g) provide a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable Securities registered pursuant to this Agreement and provide a CUSIP number for all such Registrable Securities, in each case not later than the effective date of such registration;
9
(h) promptly make all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company available for inspection by the selling Holders, any managing underwriter(s) participating in any disposition pursuant to the registration statement with respect to such Registrable Securities and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by any such selling Holders or underwriter(s) and cause the Companys directors, officers, employees and independent accountants to supply all information reasonably requested by any such selling Holder, underwriter, attorney, accountant or agent, in each case, as necessary or advisable to verify the accuracy of the information in such registration statement and to conduct appropriate due diligence in connection therewith;
(i) notify each selling Holder, promptly after the Company receives notice thereof, of the time when the registration statement with respect to such Registrable Securities has been declared effective or a supplement to any prospectus forming a part thereto has been filed; and
(j) notify each selling Holder, after a registration statement with respect to such Registrable Securities becomes effective, of any request by the SEC that the Company amend or supplement such registration statement or prospectus forming a part thereto.
In addition, the Company shall ensure that, at all times after any registration statement covering a public offering of the Companys securities under the Securities Act shall have become effective, its insider trading policy shall provide that the Companys directors may implement a trading program under Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act.
2.5 Furnish Information. It shall be a condition precedent to the Companys obligation to take any action pursuant to this Section 2 with respect to the Registrable Securities of any selling Holder that such Holder shall have furnished to the Company such information regarding himself/herself/itself, the Registrable Securities held by him/her/it, and the intended method of disposition of such Registrable Securities as is reasonably required in connection with any registration, qualification or compliance referred to in this Section 2.
2.6 Expenses of Registration. All expenses (other than Selling Expenses) incurred in connection with registrations pursuant to Section 2.1(a) and Section 2.2 and the first registration pursuant to Section 2.1(b), including all registration, filing and qualification fees, printers and accounting fees, fees and disbursements of legal counsel for the Company, and the reasonable fees and disbursements (not to exceed $25,000) of one legal counsel for the selling Holders (the Selling Holder Counsel), shall be borne and paid by the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay for any expenses of any registration proceeding begun pursuant to Section 2.1 if such registration request is subsequently withdrawn at the request of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities to be registered or because a sufficient number of Holders have withdrawn from such registration so that the minimum offering conditions set forth in Section 2.1(a) or Section 2.1(b), as applicable, are no longer satisfied (such expenses, Withdrawn Registration Expenses) (in which case, all participating Holders shall bear such Withdrawn Registration Expenses pro rata based upon the number of Registrable Securities that were to be included by each such Holder in such withdrawn registration), unless the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities agree to forfeit their right to one registration pursuant to Section 2.1(a) or Section 2.1(b), as the case may be (in which case, such right shall be forfeited by all Holders and the Company shall pay for such Withdrawn Registration Expenses); provided, further, that, if, at the time of such withdrawal, the Holders requesting withdrawal (x) shall have learned of a material adverse change in the condition, business or
10
prospects of the Company from that known to the Holders at the time of their registration request and (y) have withdrawn their request with reasonable promptness after learning of such material adverse change, then the Holders shall not be required to pay for any of such Withdrawn Registration Expenses and shall not forfeit their right to one registration pursuant to Section 2.1(a) or Section 2.1(b), as the case may be. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (i) all Selling Expenses and fees and disbursements of the Selling Holder Counsel in excess of $25,000 shall be borne and paid by the Holders pro rata based upon the number of Registrable Securities registered on their behalf (or, in the case of a withdrawn registration, the number of Registrable Securities that were to be included on their behalf) and (ii) all expenses incurred in connection with any registration pursuant to Section 2.1(b) after the first such registration shall be borne and paid by the Holders who participate in such registration pro rata based upon the number of Registrable Securities registered on their behalf (or, in the case of a withdrawn registration, the number of Registrable Securities that were to be included on their behalf).
2.7 Delay of Registration. No Holder shall have any right to take any action to restrain, enjoin or otherwise delay any registration pursuant to this Agreement as the result of any controversy that might arise with respect to the interpretation or implementation of this Section 2.
2.8 Indemnification.
(a) By the Company. If any Registrable Securities are included in a registration statement under this Section 2, then, to the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each selling Holder, the partners, members, directors, officers and stockholders of each such Holder, legal counsel and accountants for each such Holder, any underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act) for each such Holder and each Person, if any, who controls such Holder or underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act (each, a Holder Indemnified Person) against any Damages, and the Company will pay to each Holder Indemnified Person any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by him/her/it, within three months after a request for reimbursement has been received by the Company, in connection with investigating or defending any action, claim or proceeding from which Damages may result; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 2.8(a) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such action, claim or proceeding if such settlement is effected without the Companys prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, nor shall the Company be liable for any Damages to the extent that they arise out of or are based upon statements, actions, omissions or violations made in reliance upon, and in conformity with, written information furnished by or on behalf of any such Holder Indemnified Person expressly for use in connection with such registration.
(b) By Selling Holders. If any Registrable Securities are included in a registration statement under this Section 2, then, to the extent permitted by law, each selling Holder, severally and not jointly, will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the directors, officers and partners of the Company, legal counsel and accountants for the Company, any underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act) and each Person, if any, who controls the Company or such underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act (each, a Company Indemnified Person) against any Damages, and such selling Holder will pay to each Company Indemnified Person any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by him/her/it, within three months after a request for reimbursement has been received by such selling Holder,
11
in connection with investigating or defending any action, claim or proceeding from which Damages may result, in each case only to the extent that such Damages arise out of or are based upon statements, actions, omissions or violations made in reliance upon, and in conformity with, written information furnished by or on behalf of such selling Holder expressly for use in connection with such registration; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 2.8(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such action, claim or proceeding if such settlement is effected without such selling Holders prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, further, that in no event shall the aggregate amounts payable by any selling Holder by way of indemnity under this Section 2.8(b) or contribution under Section 2.8(d) exceed the proceeds from the offering received by such Holder (net of any Selling Expenses paid by such Holder), except in the case of fraud or willful misconduct by such Holder.
(c) Notice. Promptly after (i) receipt by a Holder Indemnified Person or a Company Indemnified Person (each, an Indemnified Party) of notice of the commencement of any action, claim or proceeding (including any governmental action, claim or proceeding) for which a party may be entitled to indemnification hereunder or (ii) an Indemnified Party has actual knowledge of any claim as to which indemnity may be sought hereunder, such Indemnified Party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 2.8 (each, an Indemnifying Party), give the Indemnifying Party written notice thereof. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to (x) participate in such action, claim or proceeding and, to the extent the Indemnifying Party so desires, participate jointly with any other Indemnifying Party to which written notice has been given and (y) assume the defense thereof with legal counsel approved by the Indemnified Party (whose approval shall not be unreasonably withheld); provided, however, that the Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain one separate counsel, with the fees and expense to be paid by the Indemnifying Party, if representation of such Indemnified Party by the counsel retained by the Indemnifying Party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such Indemnified Party and any other party represented by such counsel in such action. The failure to give timely written notice to the Indemnifying Party as provided in this Section 2.8(c) (1) shall relieve such Indemnifying Party of any liability to the Indemnified Party under this Section 2.8, but only to the extent that such failure materially prejudices the Indemnifying Partys ability to defend such action, claim or proceeding and (2) shall not relieve such Indemnifying Party of any liability that it may have to the Indemnified Party otherwise than under this Section 2.8. Each Indemnified Party shall furnish such information regarding such Indemnified Party or the claim in question as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request in writing and as shall be reasonably required in connection with the defense of such action, claim or proceeding.
(d) Contribution. To provide for just and equitable contribution to joint liability under the Securities Act in any case in which either (i) any party otherwise entitled to indemnification hereunder makes a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Section 2.8 but it is judicially determined (by the entry of a final judgment or decree by a court of competent jurisdiction and the expiration of time to appeal or the denial of the last right of appeal) that such indemnification may not be enforced in such case, notwithstanding the fact that this Section 2.8 provides for indemnification in such case, or (ii) contribution under the Securities Act may be required on the part of any party hereto for which indemnification is provided under this Section 2.8, then, and in each such case, such parties shall contribute to the aggregate losses, damages,
12
claims, liabilities or expenses to which they may be subject (after contribution from others) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of each of the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party in connection with the statements, actions, omissions or violations that resulted in such loss, damage, claim, liability or expense, as well as to reflect any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and of the Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact, or the omission or alleged omission of a material fact, relates to information supplied by the Indemnifying Party or by the Indemnified Party and the parties relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission; provided, however, that, (x) no Holder will be required to contribute any amount in excess of the public offering price of all such Registrable Securities offered and sold by such Holder pursuant to such registration statement, and (y) in any such case, no Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) will be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation; and provided further that in no event shall a Holders liability pursuant to this Section 2.8(d), when combined with the amounts paid or payable by such Holder pursuant to Section 2.8(b), exceed the proceeds from the offering received by such Holder, except in the case of willful misconduct or fraud by such Holder.
(e) Conflict with Underwriting Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.8, to the extent that the provisions on indemnification and contribution contained in the underwriting agreement entered into in connection with an underwritten public offering under this Section 2 are in conflict with the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.8, the provisions in the underwriting agreement shall control.
(f) Survival. Unless otherwise superseded by an underwriting agreement entered into in connection with an underwritten public offering under this Section 2, the obligations of the Company and the Holders pursuant to this Section 2.8 shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in a registration under this Section 2 and otherwise shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
2.9 Reports Under Exchange Act. With a view to making available to the Holders the benefits of Rule 144 and any other rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit a Holder to sell Registrable Securities to the public pursuant to a registration on Form S-3 or without registration, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to:
(a) at any time from and after 90 days following the effective date of the registration statement filed by the Company for the Company IPO, make and keep available adequate current public information (as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144) with respect to the Company;
(b) at any time after the Company has become subject to such reporting requirements, file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act; and
13
(c) so long as a Holder owns any Registrable Securities, furnish to such Holder upon his/her/its written request (i) to the extent accurate, a written statement by the Company that (A) it has complied with the reporting requirements of Rule 144 (at any time from and after 90 days following the effective date of the registration statement filed by the Company for the Company IPO), the Securities Act and the Exchange Act (at any time after the Company has become subject to such reporting requirements) or (B) it qualifies as a registrant whose securities may be resold pursuant to Form S-3 (at any time after the Company so qualifies to use such form) and (ii) such other information as may be reasonably requested by such Holder in availing himself/herself/itself of any rule or regulation of the SEC that permits the selling of such securities of the Company to the public pursuant to a registration on Form S-3 (at any time after the Company so qualifies to use such form) or without registration (at any time after the Company has become subject to the reporting requirements under the Exchange Act).
2.10 Limitations on Subsequent Registration Rights. From and after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the holders of at least a majority of the Registrable Securities, enter into any agreement with any holder or prospective holder of any securities of the Company giving such holder or prospective holder any registration rights the terms of which are pari passu with or senior to the registration rights granted to the Holders hereunder; provided that this limitation shall not apply to Registrable Securities acquired by any additional Investor that becomes a party to this Agreement in accordance with Subsection 8.13(a).
2.11 Lock-Up Period. Each Holder hereby agrees that such Holder will not, during the period commencing on the date of the final prospectus relating to the Company IPO and ending on the date specified by the Company and the managing underwriter(s) (such period not to exceed 180 days), (a) sell, dispose of, make any short sale of, offer, hypothecate, pledge, contract to sell, grant or sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any right or warrant to purchase, lend or otherwise transfer or encumber, directly or indirectly, any shares of Common Stock or other securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable (directly or indirectly) for shares of Common Stock held immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement for such Offering (such shares and other securities, the Lock-Up Shares) or (b) enter into any swap, hedging or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of any Lock-Up Shares, whether any such transaction described in clause (a) or (b) above is to be settled by delivery of Common Stock or other securities, in cash or otherwise. The foregoing provisions of this Section 2.11 (1) shall not apply to the sale of any Lock-Up Shares to an underwriter pursuant to an underwriting agreement or that are permitted to be sold or otherwise transferred under the terms of any then-effective lock-up agreement between the Holder and the underwriter(s) and (2) shall be applicable to the Holders only if all directors and officers of the Company are subject to similar restrictions and the Company uses commercially reasonable effort to obtain a similar agreement from all stockholders individually owning more than one percent (1%) of the Companys outstanding Common Stock (after giving effect to conversion into Common Stock of all outstanding shares of Preferred Stock). The underwriters for any registered offering described in this Section 2.11 are intended third party beneficiaries of this Section 2.11 and shall have the right, power and authority to enforce the provisions of this Section 2.11 as though they were parties hereto. Each Holder further agrees to execute such agreements as may be reasonably requested by the underwriter(s) in connection with any registered offering described in this Section 2.11 and that are consistent with this Section 2.11 or necessary to give further effect thereto; provided, however, that if a Holder has already entered into a lock-up agreement
14
with the underwriter(s) in connection with a proposed IPO, such Holder agrees to execute an agreement containing terms substantially similar to those set forth in the underwriter lock-up agreement previously executed. Any discretionary waiver or termination of the restrictions of any or all of such agreements by the Company or the underwriter(s) shall apply pro rata to all Holders subject to such agreements based on the number of shares subject to such agreements.
2.12 Restrictions on Transfer.
(a) The Restricted Securities, and any beneficial interest therein, shall not be Transferred, and the Company will not recognize, and will issue stop-transfer instructions to its transfer agent with respect to, any such Transfer, except upon the conditions specified in this Agreement, which conditions are intended to ensure compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act. Each Holder shall cause any proposed purchaser, pledgee or transferee of any Restricted Securities held by such Holder to agree, in a written instrument delivered to the Company, to take and hold such securities subject to the provisions, and upon the conditions, specified in this Agreement (including the obligations set forth in Section 2.11).
(b) Each certificate evidencing any Restricted Securities shall (unless otherwise permitted by the provisions of Section 2.12(c)) bear the following legends (or substantially equivalent legends) in addition to any legends required under applicable securities laws:
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND NOT WITH A VIEW TO, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THE SALE OR DISTRIBUTION THEREOF AND HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE ACT), OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THEY MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED EXCEPT AS PERMITTED UNDER THE ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT OR AN EXEMPTION THEREFROM. THE ISSUER OF THESE SECURITIES MAY REQUIRE AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER THAT SUCH OFFER, SALE, TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR HYPOTHECATION OTHERWISE COMPLIES WITH THE ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO THE TERMS OF AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE ISSUER AND THE ORIGINAL HOLDER OF SUCH SECURITIES (COPIES OF WHICH ARE ON FILE WITH THE SECRETARY OF THE ISSUER) AND BY ACCEPTING ANY INTEREST IN SUCH SECURITIES THE PERSON ACCEPTING SUCH INTEREST SHALL BE DEEMED TO AGREE TO, AND SHALL BECOME BOUND BY, ALL OF THE PROVISIONS OF THOSE AGREEMENTS, INCLUDING CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER AND OWNERSHIP SET FORTH THEREIN.
15
The parties hereby agree that the failure to cause the certificates, if any, evidencing Restricted Securities to bear the legends required by this Section 2.12(b) shall not affect the validity or enforcement of this Agreement. In order to enforce the provisions hereof, the Company may issue appropriate stop-transfer instructions to its transfer agent, if any, and if the Company transfers its own securities, it may make appropriate notations to the same effect in its own records.
(c) Each holder of Restricted Securities, by acceptance thereof, agrees to comply in all respects with the provisions of this Section 2. Before any proposed Transfer of any Restricted Securities, unless there is in effect a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the proposed transaction (and the proposed transaction is made in accordance with such registration statement), the holder thereof shall give written notice to the Company of such holders intention to effect such Transfer (Transfer Notice). Each such Transfer Notice shall describe the manner and circumstances of the proposed Transfer in sufficient detail and, if reasonably requested by the Company, shall be accompanied, at such holders expense, by either (x) a written opinion of legal counsel who shall, and whose legal opinion shall, be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, addressed to the Company, to the effect that the proposed Transfer may be effected without registration under the Securities Act, (y) a no action letter from the SEC to the effect that the proposed Transfer without registration will not result in a recommendation by the staff of the SEC that action be taken with respect thereto, or (z) any other evidence reasonably satisfactory to legal counsel for the Company to the effect that the proposed Transfer may be effected without registration under the Securities Act, whereupon the holder of such Restricted Securities shall be entitled to Transfer such Restricted Securities in accordance with the terms of the applicable Transfer Notice given by such holder to the Company. The Company will not require such a legal opinion or no action letter (x) in any transaction in compliance with Rule 144; or (y) in any transaction in which such Holder distributes Restricted Securities to an Affiliate of such Holder for no consideration. Each certificate evidencing any Restricted Securities that are Transferred as provided in this Section 2.12(c) shall bear, except if such Transfer is made pursuant to Rule 144, the appropriate restrictive legends set forth or described in Section 2.12(b), except that such certificate shall not bear such restrictive legends if, in the opinion of legal counsel for such Transferring holder and legal counsel for the Company, such legends are not required in order to establish compliance with any provisions of applicable securities laws, including the Securities Act.
2.13 Assignment of Registration Rights. The right of any Holder to request registration or inclusion of Registrable Securities in any registration pursuant to Section 2.1 or Section 2.2 (collectively, Registration Rights) may be assigned (but only with all related obligations) by such Holder to a transferee of Registrable Securities that (x) after such Transfer, holds at least 450,000 shares of Registrable Securities, (y) is an Affiliate of such Holder, or (z) is such Holders Immediate Family Member or trust for the benefit of such individual Holder (or one or more of his or her Immediate Family Members); provided, however, that (i) such Transfer of Registrable Securities is effected in accordance with Sections 2.12 and 8.14 and all applicable securities laws, (ii) before such Transfer of Registrable Securities, such Holder gives the Company written notice stating the name and address of such transferee and identifying the securities of the Company with
16
respect to which Registration Rights are intended to be assigned, (iii) such transferee of Registrable Securities agrees, in a written instrument delivered to the Company, to receive such assigned Registration Rights subject to all of the terms and conditions hereof, including the provisions of Section 2.11, and (iv) such transferee of Registrable Securities is not deemed by the Board, in its reasonable judgment, to be a competitor of the Company or a director, officer, employee or holder of more than 10% of a competitor of the Company, provided, however, that none of Pfizer, Viking, or any of their respective Affiliates shall be deemed to be a competitor of the Company for purposes of this Agreement.
2.14 Termination of Registration Rights. The Registration Rights shall automatically terminate and be of no further force or effect upon the earliest to occur of: (i) the dissolution or winding up of the Company; (ii) immediately before the consummation of a Deemed Liquidation Event; (iii) such time as Rule 144 or another similar exemption under the Securities Act is available for the sale of all Registrable Securities proposed to be sold by such Holder without limitation during a three-month period; and (iv) the 5-year anniversary of the Company IPO.
3. Information Rights.
3.1 Delivery of Financial Statements. The Company shall deliver to each Major Investor:
(a) as soon as practicable, but in any event within one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company (i) a balance sheet as of the end of such year, (ii) statements of income and of cash flows for such year, and (iii) a statement of stockholders equity as of the end of such fiscal year, all such financial statements to be in reasonable detail, and prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and audited and certified by an independent public accounting firm of nationally recognized standing approved by the Board (including at least one Preferred Director);
(b) as soon as practicable, but in any event within forty-five (45) days after the end of each quarter of each fiscal year of the Company, unaudited statements of income and cash flows for such fiscal quarter, and an unaudited balance sheet as of the end of such fiscal quarter, all prepared in accordance with GAAP (except that such financial statements may (i) be subject to normal year-end audit adjustments; and (ii) not contain all notes thereto that may be required in accordance with GAAP);
(c) as soon as practicable, but in any event at least thirty (30) days prior to the end of each fiscal year, a budget and business plan for the next fiscal year, prepared on a monthly basis, including balance sheets, income statements and statements of cash flows for such months and, as soon as prepared, any other budgets or revised budgets prepared by the Company;
(d) such other information relating to the financial condition, business, prospects, or corporate affairs of the Company as any Major Investor may from time to time reasonably request; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated under this Subsection 3.1 to provide information (i) that the Company reasonably determines in good faith to be a trade secret or confidential or commercially sensitive information (unless covered by a confidentiality agreement, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company, including in a form as set forth in Section 3.4); or (ii) the disclosure of which would adversely affect the attorney-client privilege between the Company and its counsel.
17
If, for any period, the Company has any subsidiary whose accounts are consolidated with those of the Company, then in respect of such period the financial statements delivered pursuant to the foregoing sections shall be the consolidated and consolidating financial statements of the Company and all such consolidated subsidiaries.
Notwithstanding anything else in this Subsection 3.1 to the contrary, the Company may cease providing the information set forth in this Subsection 3.1 during the period starting with the date sixty (60) days before the Companys good-faith estimate of the date of filing of a registration statement if it reasonably concludes it must do so to comply with the SEC rules applicable to such registration statement and related offering; provided that the Companys covenants under this Subsection 3.1 shall be reinstated at such time as the Company is no longer actively employing its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective.
3.2 Inspection. The Company shall permit each Major Investor, at such Major Investors expense, to visit and inspect the Companys properties; examine its books of account and records; and discuss the Companys affairs, finances, and accounts with its officers, during normal business hours of the Company as may be reasonably requested by the Major Investor; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated pursuant to this Subsection 3.2 to provide access to any information that it reasonably and in good faith considers to be a trade secret or confidential or commercially sensitive information (unless covered by a confidentiality agreement, in form reasonably acceptable to the Company, including in a form as set forth in Section 3.4) or the disclosure of which would adversely affect the attorney-client privilege between the Company and its counsel.
3.3 Termination of Information. The covenants set forth in Subsection 3.1 and Subsection 3.2 shall terminate and be of no further force or effect (i) immediately before the consummation of the Company IPO; (ii) upon the consummation of a Deemed Liquidation Event; or (iii) when the Company first becomes subject to the periodic reporting requirements of Section 12(g) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, whichever event occurs first.
3.4 Confidentiality. Each Investor agrees that such Investor will keep confidential and will not disclose, divulge or use for any purpose (other than to monitor such Investors investment in the Company) any confidential information obtained from the Company pursuant to this Agreement (including notice of the Companys intention to file a registration statement), unless such confidential information (x) is known or becomes known to the public in general (other than as a result of a breach or violation by such Investor or any of its Affiliates or representatives of this Section 3.4 or any other non-use or confidentiality obligation), (y) is or has been independently developed or conceived by such Investor without use of, derivation from, reference to or reliance upon any of the Companys confidential information and without violating any of the confidentiality obligations hereunder or any other non-use or confidentiality obligation, or (z) is or has been made known or disclosed to such Investor by a third party without a breach of any legal, fiduciary, contractual or other obligation of confidentiality such third party may have to the Company; provided, however, that an Investor may disclose the
18
Companys confidential information (i) to such Investors attorneys, accountants, consultants, advisors and other professionals to the extent necessary to obtain their services in connection with monitoring such Investors investment in the Company, provided that such Investor informs each such individual that such information is confidential and that by receiving such information such individual is agreeing to maintain the confidentiality of such information, (ii) to any Affiliate, current and prospective partner, member, stockholder or wholly owned subsidiary of such Investor in the ordinary course of business, provided that such Investor informs such Person that such information is confidential and directs such Person to maintain the confidentiality of such information, (iii) with prior notification to the Company, to any prospective purchaser of any Registrable Securities from such Investor, provided that such prospective purchaser agrees, in writing, to be bound by provisions not less restrictive than those set forth in this Section 3.4, or (iv) as may be required by applicable law, provided that such Investor delivers to the Company advance written notice of such disclosure and exercises commercially reasonable efforts to minimize the extent of any such required disclosure and obtain assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to the disclosed information.
3.5 Auditor Independence. The Company shall be reasonably responsive to requests for information from the Investor relating to issues that may impact auditor independence rules applicable to the Investor.
4. Rights to Future Stock Issuances.
4.1 Right of First Refusal. If the Company proposes to offer or sell any New Securities, the Company shall first offer such New Securities to the Major Investors in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Section 4.1 and subject to applicable securities laws (the Right of First Refusal).
(a) The Company shall give written notice (the Offer Notice) to each Major Investor, stating (i) its bona fide intention to offer such New Securities, (ii) the type and number of such New Securities to be offered (the Offered Shares), and (iii) the price and general terms, if any, upon which it proposes to offer such New Securities.
(b) Each Major Investor, by written notice to the Company (the Election Notice) given no later than the twentieth day after the date on which the Offer Notice is, pursuant to Section 8.5, deemed to have been delivered to such Major Investor (such twentieth day, the Initial Offer Deadline), may elect to purchase or acquire, at the price and on the general terms specified in the Offer Notice, up to that portion of the Offered Shares which equals the proportion that the Common Stock issued and then held, or issuable (directly or indirectly) upon conversion and/or exercise, as applicable, of the Preferred Stock then held by such Major Investor bears to the total Common Stock then outstanding (assuming full conversion and/or exercise, as applicable, of all Preferred Stock). Each Election Notice shall specify the number of Offered Shares that such Major Investor is electing to purchase or acquire. Promptly after the Initial Offer Deadline, the Company shall give written notice to each Major Investor that has elected to purchase or acquire all of the Offered Shares available to such Major Investor (each, a Fully Exercising Investor) of any other Major Investors failure to do likewise (the Second Offer Notice). Each Fully Exercising Investor may, by giving written notice to the Company (the Second Election Notice) during the ten-day period commencing on the date on which the Second Offer Notice is, pursuant
19
to Section 8.5, deemed to have been delivered to such Fully Exercising Investor (such ten-day period, the Second Offer Period), elect to purchase or acquire, in addition to the number of Offered Shares such Fully Exercising Investor has already elected to purchase or acquire and at the same price and on the general terms specified in the Offer Notice, up to that portion of the Offered Shares for which Major Investors were entitled to subscribe but that were not subscribed for by the Major Investors by the Initial Offer Deadline (the Unsubscribed Shares) which equals the proportion that the Common Stock issued and then held, or issuable (directly or indirectly) upon conversion and/or exercise, as applicable, of the Preferred Stock then held, by such Fully Exercising Investor bears to the total Common Stock issued and then held, or issuable (directly or indirectly) upon conversion and/or exercise, as applicable, of the Preferred Stock then held by all of the Fully Exercising Investors who elect to purchase or acquire Unsubscribed Shares. Each Second Election Notice shall specify the number of Unsubscribed Shares that such Fully Exercising Investor is electing to purchase or acquire. The closing of any sale of New Securities pursuant to this Section 4.1(b) shall occur on or before the later of (i) 90 days after the last date on which the Offer Notice is, pursuant to Section 8.5, deemed to have been delivered to all Major Investors and (ii) the date of initial sale of New Securities pursuant to Section 4.1(c).
(c) If all Offered Shares are not elected to be purchased or acquired as provided in Section 4.1(b), the Company may, during the 90-day period following the expiration of the Second Offer Period for all Fully Exercising Investors, offer and sell the remaining unsubscribed portion of such Offered Shares to any Person or Persons (the Offerees) at a price not less than, and upon terms not more favorable than, specified in the Offer Notice. If the Company does not enter into a written agreement with the Offerees for the sale of New Securities within such 90-day period, or if the sale of such New Securities pursuant to such agreement is not consummated within 30 days after the execution thereof, the Right of First Refusal shall be deemed to be revived and such New Securities shall not be offered or sold to any Person or Persons unless first reoffered to the Major Investors in accordance with this Section 4.1.
(d) The Right of First Refusal shall not be applicable to: (i) Exempted Securities (as defined in the Restated Charter); (ii) securities of the Company which are otherwise excluded from the Right of First Refusal by the affirmative vote or consent of the holders of a majority of all shares of Preferred Stock then outstanding; (iii) shares of Common Stock issued in the Company IPO, or (iv) the issuance of shares of Series C Preferred Stock pursuant to Subsection 1.2(c) or Subsection 1.2(d) of the Series C Purchase Agreement. In the event the Right of First Refusal under this Section 4 is waived with respect to an offering of New Securities without a Major Investors prior written consent and any party that participated in waiving such rights actually purchases New Securities in such offering, the Company shall grant to any such non-waiving Major Investor the right to purchase, in a subsequent closing of such issuance on substantially the same terms and conditions, the same percentage of its full pro rata share of such New Securities as the highest percentage of any such purchasing waiving party.
(e) Notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary, no Major Investor shall have any right to purchase or acquire any New Securities pursuant to this Section 4.1 if such Major Investor cannot demonstrate to the Companys reasonable satisfaction that such Major Investor is, at the time of the proposed issuance of such New Securities, an accredited investor within the meaning of SEC Rule 501 of Regulation D, as then in effect.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the shares held by JANUS HENDERSON GLOBAL LIFE SCIENCES FUND or JANUS HENDERSON CAPITAL FUNDS PLC on behalf of its series, JANUS HENDERSON GLOBAL LIFE SCIENCES FUND will be aggregated solely for the purpose of determining whether either JANUS HENDERSON GLOBAL LIFE SCIENCES FUND or JANUS HENDERSON CAPITAL FUNDS PLC on behalf of its series, JANUS HENDERSON GLOBAL LIFE SCIENCES FUND (or their respective transferees) is a Major Investor under this Agreement.
