Subject to Section 2.1(c), the Corporation may include in such S-1 Registration other securities of the Corporation for sale, for the Corporation’s account or for the account of any other person.

(ii) Limitations on S-1 Registrations.

(1) Offering Price Limitation. The Corporation shall not be obligated to effect an S-1 Registration pursuant to this Section 2.1(a) unless the anticipated aggregate offering price of the Registrable Securities to be sold pursuant thereto is at least $10,000,000;

(2) Limitation on the Number of S-1 Registrations. The Corporation shall not be obligated to effect more than two (2) S-1 Registrations hereunder provided each such registration has been declared or ordered and kept effective for the time period indicated in Article III(a)(iii) below and provided, however, that if the Corporation is not entitled to use Commission Form S-3 due to the Corporation’s failure to comply with its filing obligations under the Exchange Act, the Holders shall be entitled to additional S-1 Registrations under Section 2.1(a) notwithstanding the foregoing limitation.

 

5


(3) Alternative S-3 Registration. The Corporation shall, if permitted by law, effect any registration requested under Section 2.1(a) by the filing of a registration statement on Commission Form S-3 pursuant to Section 2.1(b), provided, however, that any such registration conducted pursuant to Form S-3 shall not count towards the limit on registration requests provided in Section 2.1(a)(ii)(2) above.

(4) Recent Registration Limitation. If the Corporation has effected a Requested Registration within the preceding 180 days and such registration has been declared or ordered effective, the Corporation shall have the right to defer such requested registration for a period of not more than ninety (90) days after receipt of the request of the Holders, provided that such right to delay a requested registration shall be exercised by the Corporation not more than once in any twelve (12)-month period.

(5) Delay Limitation. If the Corporation shall furnish to Holders requesting the S-1 Registration, a certificate signed by the Corporation’s Chief Executive Officer or Chairman of the Board of Directors stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Corporation such registration at the time requested would be materially detrimental to the Corporation and its stockholders for such S-1 Registration to be effected at such time in which event the Corporation shall have the right to defer such requested registration for a period of not more than ninety (90) days after receipt of the request of the Holders, provided that such right to delay a request shall be exercised by the Corporation not more than once in any twelve (12)-month period.

(6) Simultaneous Corporation Registration Limitation. During the period starting with the date of the filing of, and ending on a date one hundred eighty (180) days following the effective date of, a registration on Form S-1 pertaining to the initial public offering of securities of the Corporation, the Corporation shall not be obligated to effect a registration under this Section 2.1 unless otherwise consented to by the underwriter of such offering and only if the Corporation is actively employing in good faith all reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become and remain effective.

(7) Termination. The right to request an S-1 Registration shall terminate on the seventh anniversary of the Corporation’s initial public offering of its securities.

(b) Registrations on Form S-3.

(i) Request for S-3 Registration. Subject to Section 2.2(b)(ii), if at any time after the Corporation is a registrant entitled to file a registration statement on Form S-3 or any successor or similar short-form registration statement promulgated by the Commission (collectively, “Commission Form S-3”), the Corporation shall receive a written request from Holders of at least ten percent (10%) of the Registrable Securities then outstanding (an “S-3 Registration Request”) that the Corporation effect the registration under the Securities Act of all or part of the Registrable Securities (an “S-3 Registration”, and together with S-1 Registration, a “Requested Registration”), then the Corporation shall (x) promptly, and in any event within 10 days, give written notice of the proposed registration to all other Holders (an “S-3 Registration Notice”), and (y) use its best efforts to effect the registration under the Securities Act of the Registrable Securities that the Corporation has been so requested to register on behalf

 

6


of the requesting Holder(s) and any Holder joining in such request (as is specified in a written request by each such Holder received by the Corporation within 15 days after delivery of the S-3 Registration Notice) in accordance herewith within thirty (30) days after receipt of the S-3 Registration Request. Subject to Section 2.1(c), the Corporation may include in such S-3 Registration other securities of the Corporation for sale, for the Corporation’s account or for the account of any other person.

(ii) Limitations on S-3 Registrations.

(1) Offering Price Limitation. The Corporation shall not be obligated to effect an S-3 Registration pursuant to this Section 2.1(b) unless the anticipated aggregate offering price of the Registrable Securities to be sold pursuant thereto is at least $1,000,000; provided, however, that if the aggregate number of Registrable Securities held by the Holders have a fair market value of less than $1,000,000, the Holders of such Registrable Securities may request registration of such Registrable Securities so long as all Registrable Securities are requested to be registered.

(2) No Limitation on the Number of S-3 Registrations. Subject to the other limitations of this Section 2.1(b)(ii), there shall be no limitation on the number of S-3 registrations that the Corporation may be required to effect under this Section 2.1(b).

(3) Multiple Simultaneous S-3 Limitation. The Corporation shall not be obligated to keep effective at any one time more than three Commission Form S-3 registration statements in accordance with this Section 2.1(b), and if the Corporation is requested to effect an additional S-3 Registration at a time when it is keeping three such registration statements effective, it may delay effecting such S-3 Registration until it is no longer required in accordance with Article III(a)(iii) to keep effective one (or more) of the then effective Commission Form S-3 registration statements.

(4) Recent Registration Limitation. The Corporation shall not be obligated to effect an S-3 Registration pursuant to this Section 2.1(b) if the Corporation has effected a Requested Registration within the preceding 180 days, and such registration has been declared or ordered effective.

(5) Delay Limitation. If the Corporation shall furnish to Holders requesting the S-3 Registration, a certificate signed by the Corporation’s Chief Executive Officer or Chairman of the Board stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Corporation such registration at the time requested would be materially detrimental to the Corporation and its stockholders for such S-3 Registration to be effected at such time, in which event the Corporation shall have the right to defer such filing for a period of not more than ninety (90) days after receipt of the request of the Holders, provided that such right to delay a request shall be exercised by the Corporation not more than once in any twelve (12)-month period.

(6) Termination. The rights to request an S-3 Registration shall terminate on the seventh anniversary of the Corporation’s initial public offering of its securities.

(c) Priority in Registration. If a Requested Registration is an underwritten offering, and the managing underwriters shall give written advice to the Holders and the Corporation that,

 

7


in their opinion, market conditions dictate that no more than a specified maximum number of securities (the “Underwriter’s Maximum Number”) could successfully be included in such registration within a price range acceptable to the Holders initiating the Requested Registration, then the Corporation shall be required only to include in such registration only such number of securities as is equal to the Underwriter’s Maximum Number (“Requested Registration Cutback”) and the Corporation and the Holders will participate in such offering in the following order of priority:

(i) First, there shall be included in such registration that number of Registrable Securities that the Holders shall have requested to be included in such offering up to the Underwriter’s Maximum Number; and

(ii) Second, the Corporation shall be entitled to include in such registration that number of securities that it proposes to offer and sell for its own account to the full extent of any remaining portion of the Underwriter’s Maximum Number.

In the event that a Requested Registration Cutback results in less than 50% of the Registrable Securities of Holders that were requested to be included in such registration actually being included in such registration, then (i) each requesting Holder will be entitled to include his, her or its pro rata share, calculated as the Underwriter’s Maximum Number, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares that such Holder requested to be included in such offering and the denominator of which is the total number of shares requested by Holders to be included in such registration and (ii) such registration shall not be counted for purposes of the limitations on requested registrations in Section 2.1(a)(ii)(2) above.

SECTION 2.2. Incidental Registrations.

(a) Incidental Registration. If the Corporation for itself or any of its security holders shall (except for registrations under Section 2.1(a)(i), which shall not be deemed registrations for the purposes of this Section 2.2) at any time or times after the date hereof undertake to register (including a Requested Registration pursuant to Section 2.1(b)) under the Securities Act any shares of its capital stock or other securities (other than (i) the registration of an offer, sale or other disposition of securities solely to employees of, or other persons providing services to, the Corporation, or any subsidiary pursuant to an employee or similar benefit plan or (ii) relating to a merger, acquisition or other transaction of the type described in Rule 145 under the Securities Act or a comparable or successor rule, registered on Form S-4 or similar or successor forms promulgated by the Commission), on each such occasion the Corporation will notify each Holder of such determination or request at least thirty (30) days prior to the filing of such registration statement, and upon the request of any Holder given in writing within twenty (20) days after the receipt of such notice, subject to Section 2.2(b), the Corporation shall use its best efforts as soon as practicable thereafter to cause any of the Registrable Securities specified by any such Holder to be included in such registration statement to the extent such registration is permissible under the Securities Act and subject to the conditions of the Securities Act (an “Incidental Registration”). If a Holder decides not to include all of its Registrable Securities in any Incidental Registration filed by the Corporation, such Holder shall nevertheless continue to have the right to include any Registrable Securities in any subsequent Incidental Registration as may be filed by the Corporation with respect to offerings of its securities, all upon the terms and

 

8


conditions set forth herein. The Corporation shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any Incidental Registration initiated by it under this Section 2.2 prior to the effectiveness of such registration whether or not any Holder has elected to include securities in such registration. The Registration Expenses of such withdrawn registration shall be borne by the Corporation in accordance with Section 2.3.

(b) Priority in Registration. If an Incidental Registration is an underwritten offering, and the managing underwriters shall give written advice to the Holders and the Corporation that, in their opinion, market conditions dictate that no more than the Underwriter’s Maximum Number could successfully be included in such registration, then the Corporation shall be required only to include in such registration only such number of securities as is equal to the Underwriter’s Maximum Number (“Incidental Registration Cutback”) and the Corporation and the Holders will participate in such offering in the following order of priority:

(i) First, subject to Section 2.2(b)(ii) below, the Corporation shall be entitled to include in such registration that number of securities that the Corporation proposes to offer and sell for its own account in such registration and that does not exceed the Underwriter’s Maximum Number; and

(ii) Second, the Corporation will be obligated and required to include in such registration that number of Registrable Securities that the Holders shall have requested to be included in such offering to the full extent of the remaining portion of the Underwriter’s Maximum Number; provided further, that the Corporation shall make at least thirty percent (30%) of the Underwriter’s Maximum Number available to Holders that have requested to include Registrable Securities.

In the event that an Incidental Registration Cutback results in less than all of the Registrable Securities of Holders that were requested to be included in such registration actually being included in such registration, then each requesting Holder will be entitled to include his, her or its pro rata share, calculated as the portion of the Underwriter’s Maximum Number available to Holders who requested to include shares in such offering, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares that such Holder requested to be included in such offering and the denominator of which is the total number of shares requested by Holders to be included in such registration.

SECTION 2.3. Expenses. The Corporation shall pay all Registration Expenses incurred in connection with all Incidental Registrations and all Requested Registrations effected in accordance with this Article II.

SECTION 2.4. Effective Registration Statement. A Requested Registration or an Incidental Registration effected pursuant to Section 2.1 or Section 2.2, respectively, shall not be deemed to have been effected unless the registration statement filed with respect thereto in accordance with the Securities Act has become effective with the Commission and kept effective in accordance with the provisions of Article III(a)(iii) below. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a registration statement will not be deemed to have become effective if (a) after it has become effective with the Commission, such registration is made subject to any stop order, injunction, or other order or requirement of the Commission or other governmental agency or any court

 

9


proceeding for any reason other than a misrepresentation or omission by any Holder, or (b) the conditions to closing specified in the purchase agreement or underwriting agreement entered into in connection with such registration are not satisfied, other than solely by reason of some act or omission by any Holder.

SECTION 2.5. Jurisdictional Limitations. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Corporation shall not be obligated to take any action to effect registration, qualification or compliance with respect to its Registrable Securities:

(a) In any particular jurisdiction in which the Corporation would be required to execute a general consent to service of process unless the Corporation is already subject to service in such jurisdiction and except as required by the Securities Act;

(b) That would require it to qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction in which it is not already so qualified or obligated to qualify; or

(c) That would subject it to taxation in a jurisdiction in which it is not already subject generally to taxation.

The Corporation agrees not to file or make any amendment to any registration statement with respect to any Registrable Securities, or any amendment of or supplement to the prospectus used in connection therewith, which refers to any seller of any Registrable Securities covered thereby by name, or otherwise identifies such seller as the holder of any Registrable Securities, without the prior written consent of such seller, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, unless such disclosure is required by law, in which case the Corporation will notify such Holder of its intent

 

13


to make such amendment or supplement as soon as possible, but in any event in advance of effecting such amendment or supplement.

(ii) Each Holder, by execution of this Agreement, agrees (1) that upon receipt of any notice from the Corporation, or upon such Holder’s otherwise becoming aware, of the happening of any event of the kind described in subdivision (a)(ix) of this Article III, such Holder will forthwith discontinue its disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the registration statement relating to such Registrable Securities until the receipt by such Holder of the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by subdivision (a)(ix) of this Article III and, if so directed by the Corporation, will deliver to the Corporation all copies other than permanent file copies, then in possession of the Holders of the prospectus relating to such Registrable Securities current at the time of receipt of such notice and (2) that it will immediately notify the Corporation, at any time when a prospectus relating to the registration of such Registrable Securities is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the happening of any event as a result of which information previously furnished in writing by such Holder to the Corporation specifically for inclusion in such prospectus contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances under which they were made. In the event the Corporation or any such Holder shall give any such notice, the period referred to in subdivision (a)(iii) of this Article III shall be extended by a number of days equal to the number of days during the period from and including the date of the giving of notice pursuant to subdivision (a)(ix) of this Article III to and including the date when such Holder shall have received the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by subdivision (a)(ix) of this Article III.

ARTICLE IV

UNDERWRITTEN OFFERINGS

SECTION 4.1. Underwritten Offerings.

(a) Underwritten Offering. In connection with any underwritten offering pursuant to a registration requested under Section 2.1, the Corporation will enter into an underwriting agreement (and any other customary agreements) with the underwriters for such offering, such agreement to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities to be included in such offering and to such underwriters in their reasonable judgment and to contain such representations and warranties by the Corporation and such other terms as are customarily contained in agreements of that type, including, without limitation, indemnities to the effect and to the extent provided in Section 5.1. The Corporation will also take all such other actions as the participating Holders or the underwriters reasonably request in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of Registrable Securities (including effecting a stock split or combination of shares and the participation of senior management in so-called “road shows” and similar events). Each Holder participating in such underwritten offering shall be a party to such underwriting agreement and may, at such Holder’s option, require that any or all of the representations and warranties by, and the other agreements on the part of, the Corporation to and for the benefit of such underwriters shall also be made to and for the benefit of each such Holder and that any or all of the conditions precedent to the obligations of such

 

14


underwriters under such underwriting agreement be conditions precedent to the obligations of such Holder. No Holder participating in any such underwritten offering shall be required by the provisions hereof to make any representations or warranties to or agreements with the Corporation or the underwriters other than representations, warranties or agreements regarding such Holder and its intended method of distribution and any other representation required by law.

(b) Selection of Underwriters. Whenever a registration requested pursuant to Section 2.1 is for an underwritten offering, the Requisite Stockholders will have the right, but not the obligation, to select the managing underwriter to administer the offering.

SECTION 4.2. Holdback Agreements.

(a) Each Holder hereby agrees in connection with the Corporation’s initial public offering of equity securities not to effect (except as part of such underwritten registration in accordance with the provisions hereof or pursuant to a transaction exempt from registration (other than under Rule 144 or Rule 145 of the Securities Act)) any sale, distribution, short sale, loan, grant of options for the purchase of, or otherwise dispose of, any Registrable Securities held by such Holder prior to the effective date of such registration for such period as such managing underwriter requests, such period in no event to commence earlier than seven (7) days prior to, or to end more than 180 days after, the effective date of such registration. In addition, each holder of Registrable Securities agrees to execute and deliver to any managing underwriter (or, in the case of any offering that is not underwritten, an investment banker) in connection with such registration any lock-up letter requested of such Holder and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder by such managing underwriter. Each Holder further agrees that the Corporation may instruct its transfer agent to place stop transfer notations in its records to enforce the provisions of this Section 4.2(a). The foregoing restrictions shall be conditioned on each officer, director of the Corporation and holder of one percent or more of the Corporation’s Common Stock or securities convertible or exchangeable for one percent or more of its Common Stock (determined in all instances on a fully diluted basis) being bound by substantially the same restrictions as are set forth above; provided that the lock-up letters entered into by Sofinnova and Baker may reflect modifications to certain transfer restrictions in connection with required filings under Section 13 or Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act.

(b) After receipt of notice of a Requested Registration pursuant to Section 2.1, the Corporation shall not initiate, without the consent of a majority in interest of Holders participating in such Requested Registration, a registration of any of its securities for its own account until 90 days after such registration has become effective or such registration has been terminated.

(c) Any discretionary waiver or termination of any of the restrictions included in Section 4.2(a) by the Corporation or the underwriters shall apply pro rata to all Holders subject to such agreements, based on the number of shares subject to such agreements.

SECTION 5.1. Indemnification.

(a) Indemnification by the Corporation. In the event of any registration under the Securities Act pursuant to Article II of any Registrable Securities covered by such registration, the Corporation will, to the extent permitted by law, and hereby does, indemnify and hold harmless each Holder of Registrable Securities to be sold under such registration statement, the partners, members, officers, directors, and stockholders of each such Holder, each such Holder’s legal counsel and independent accountants, each other person who participates as an underwriter in the offering or sale of such securities (if so required by such underwriter as a condition to including the Registrable Securities of the Holders in such registration) and each other person, if any, who controls any such Holder or any such underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act (each an “Indemnified Party” and collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”), against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which any Indemnified Party may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any state securities laws or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any registration statement under which such securities were registered under the Securities Act, any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus or summary prospectus contained therein or any document incorporated therein by reference, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein in light of the circumstances in which they were made not misleading, or arise out of any violation by the Corporation of any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act or state securities law applicable to the Corporation and relating to action or inaction required of the Corporation in connection with any such registration, and the Corporation will reimburse the Indemnified Parties for any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, liability, action or proceeding as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 5.1(a) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Corporation (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; and provided, further, however that the Corporation shall not be liable to an Indemnified Party in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability (or action or proceeding in respect thereof) or expense arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in such registration statement, any such preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, summary prospectus, amendment or supplement in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the Corporation in writing by such Indemnified Party specifically for use therein.

(b) Indemnification by the Holders. As a condition to including any Registrable Securities of any person or entity in any registration statement filed pursuant to Article II, each Holder of Registrable Securities, to the extent permitted by law, hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless (in the same manner and to the same extent as set forth in subdivision (a) of this Section 5.1 the Corporation), each director of the Corporation, each officer of the Corporation, each other person, if any, who controls the Corporation within the meaning of the Securities Act, any other Holder selling securities in such registration statement, and any controlling Person of any such other Holder, with respect to any statement or alleged statement in or omission or

 

16


alleged omission from such registration statement, any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus or summary prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereto, if, and only if, such statement or alleged statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Corporation directly by such Holder specifically for use therein; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 5.1(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or actions if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Holder; and provided, further, however, that the obligation of any Holder hereunder shall be limited to an amount equal to the net proceeds (after deduction of all underwriters discounts and commissions paid by such Holder) received by such Holder upon the sale of Registrable Securities sold in the offering covered by such registration, unless such liability arises out of or is based upon such Holder’s willful misconduct.

(c) Notices of Claims, etc. Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Party of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding involving a claim referred to in the preceding subdivisions of this Section 5.1, such Indemnified Party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against a party required to provide indemnification (an “Indemnifying Party”), give written notice to the latter of the commencement of such action, provided, however, that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligation under the preceding subdivisions of this Section 5.1, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by such failure to give notice. In case any such action is brought against an Indemnified Party, unless in such Indemnified Party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such Indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist in respect of such claim, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in and to assume the defense thereof, jointly with any other Indemnifying Party similarly notified to the extent that it may wish, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party, and after notice from the Indemnifying Party to such Indemnified Party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to such Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the latter in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. No Indemnifying Party shall consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement without the consent of the Indemnified Party which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

(d) Other Indemnification. Indemnification similar to that specified in the preceding subdivisions of this Section 5.1 (with appropriate modifications) shall be given by the Corporation and each holder of Registrable Securities included in any registration statement to each other and any underwriter, as applicable, with respect to any required registration or other qualification of securities under any Federal or state law or regulation of any governmental authority, other than the Securities Act.

(e) Indemnification Payment. The indemnification required by this Section 5.1 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or expense, loss, damage or liability is incurred.

 

17


(f) Survival of Obligations. The obligations of the Corporation and of the Holders under this Section 5.1 and Section 5.2 shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable Securities under this Agreement.

SECTION 5.2. Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in Section 5.1 is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an Indemnified Party, then each Indemnifying Party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable to such Indemnified Party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in Section 5.1 an amount or additional amount, as the case may be, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party or parties, on the one hand, and the Indemnified Party, on the other, in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, demands or liabilities as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault 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 to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Indemnifying Party or parties, on the one hand, or the Indemnified Party, on the other, and the parties’ relative, intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. The amount paid to an Indemnified Party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in the first sentence of this Section 5.2 shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any action or claim which is the subject of this Article V. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. Any amounts paid or payable pursuant to this Section 5.2 shall be limited to an amount equal to the net proceeds (after deduction of all underwriters discounts and commissions paid by such Person) received by such Person upon the sale of Registrable Securities sold in the offering covered by the applicable registration.

ARTICLE VI

CORPORATION COVENANTS

SECTION 6.1. Covenants Relating to Rule 144; Reports Under The Exchange Act.

(i) To make and keep public information available in accordance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act at all times after the effective date of the first registration under the Securities Act filed by the Corporation for an offering of its securities to the general public;

(ii) To take such action, including the voluntary registration of its Common Stock under Section 12 of the Exchange Act, as is necessary to enable the Holders to utilize Commission Form S-3 for the sale of their Registrable Securities, such action to be taken as soon as practicable after the end of the fiscal year in which the first registration statement filed by the Corporation for the offering of its securities to the general public is declared effective;

 

18

Each Participating Investor shall be entitled to apportion the right of first offer hereby granted to it in such proportions as it deems appropriate, among itself and its Affiliates that are “accredited investors” within the meaning of Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act. At the Corporation’s reasonable request from time to time, each Participating Investor shall confirm in writing the number of securities it owns in the Corporation within three (3) business days of such request.

In the event the

 

20


Corporation has not sold within such sixty (60) day period or entered into an agreement to sell the New Securities in accordance with the foregoing within such thirty (30) days, the Corporation shall not thereafter issue or sell any New Securities without first again offering such securities to the Participating Investors in the manner provided in this Section 6.3.

(ii) The right of a Participating Investor to purchase New Securities pursuant to this Section 6.3 shall terminate upon the earliest of (a) two years after the closing of the Corporation’s initial public offering, (b) three years after the Initial Issuance, (c) the time when such Participating Investor no longer holds its Required Amount, and (d) a Liquidation Event.

SECTION 6.4. Designation Rights.

(a) On or after the date of the closing of the Corporation’s initial public offering, at any time during which Baker does not have a designated representative then serving on the Board of Directors of the Corporation, Baker may, upon written notice to the Corporation (which notice shall indicate the number of securities it then owns in the Corporation), elect to cause, and the Corporation shall cause, its Board of Directors promptly to appoint one individual selected by Baker (the “Designated Director”) to the Board of Directors (and in the event the Corporation maintains a classified Board of Directors, the Designated Director shall be appointed to the director class that has the latest date of expiration of the applicable term as of the date of such appointment, subject to applicable law), and to nominate for election at each meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation at which members of the Corporation’s Board of Directors (or members of the applicable class of the Corporation’s Board of Directors, as the case may be) are elected and included within the slate of directors contained in the Corporation’s proxy statement, provided that such Designated Director meets the criteria that are reasonably acceptable to the nominating committee (or equivalent committee or the full Board, as applicable) of the Board of Directors of the Corporation, including the criteria as set forth in Section 6.4(e) hereof. The Corporation shall create a vacancy on the Board of Directors, if needed, to cause the Designated Director to be appointed or elected, as the case may be, to the Board of Directors pursuant to this Section 6.4(a).

(b) The Corporation shall have the right to block a Designated Director from serving on the Board of Directors or require that such Designated Director resign from the Board of Directors, if such Designated Director holds, or is nominated to hold, a management position or board seat at a company that the Board of Directors of the Corporation reasonably and in good faith determines directly competes with the Corporation.

(c) In the event the Designated Director is nominated for election at a meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation but is not elected by the stockholders, the Corporation’s obligations pursuant to this Section 6.4 shall terminate and the Corporation shall have no further obligations under this Section 6.4.

(d) During the time that Baker has a right to designate a director pursuant to this Section 6.4, in the event a vacancy is created by the death, disability, retirement, resignation or removal of a Designated Director (other than pursuant to Section 6.4(c)), Baker may upon written notice to the Corporation (which notice shall indicate the number of securities it then owns in the Corporation) appoint a new Designated Director to fill the resulting vacancy and the

 

21


Corporation shall cause such person to be promptly appointed to the Board of Directors (and in the event the Corporation maintains a classified Board of Directors, the new Designated Director shall be appointed to the director class that has the latest date of expiration of the applicable term as of the date of such appointment, subject to applicable law), and nominated for election at each meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation at which members of the Corporation’s Board of Directors (or members of the applicable class of the Corporation’s Board of Directors, as the case may be) are elected and included within the slate of directors contained in the Corporation’s proxy statement, provided that such new Designated Director meets the criteria that are reasonably acceptable to the nominating committee (or equivalent committee or the full Board, as applicable) of the Board of Directors of the Corporation, including the criteria as set forth in Section 6.4(e) hereof.

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the rights of Baker to designate a director shall at all times be subject to applicable rules and published guidance of The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC, including, but not limited to, listing rule 5640 (or any successor rule), and any Corporation policies with respect to directors. The Designated Director must at all times be considered “independent” as determined in accordance with the rules of the NASDAQ Stock Market, LLC and the Commission.

(f) The right of Baker to designate a director pursuant to this Section 6.4 shall terminate upon the earliest of (i) two years after the earlier of the closing of the Corporation’s initial public offering, (ii) the time when Baker no longer holds its Required Amount, and (iii) a Liquidation Event (the “Termination Date”). For purposes of clarity, in the event the Designated Director’s term ends following the Termination Date, the Corporation shall be under no obligation to re-designate or otherwise nominate the Designated Director or any other director pursuant to this Section 6.4 following the Termination Date.

SECTION 6.5. Section 16 Matters. For so long as any Participating Investor has a representative on the Corporation’s Board of Directors, the Corporation shall take such reasonable and customary actions as may be required, in accordance with the procedures set forth in Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act, to cause any acquisition or deemed acquisition or disposition or deemed disposition of securities by such Participating Investor and its Affiliates pursuant to the transactions contemplated by the Series E Purchase Agreement, including as a result of any adjustments to the Conversion Price (as defined in the Corporation’s certificate of incorporation, as amended and/or restated on or after the date hereof), to be exempt from the provisions of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act pursuant to Rule 16b-3 promulgated thereunder, provided that such Participating Investor acknowledges the “deputization” of its director representative on the Corporation’s Board of Directors.
