Transfer of Shares. 9.1. Restricted Shares. "Restricted Shares" means (i) the shares of Series C Stock issued or issuable upon the exercise of the Series C Warrants, (ii) the shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon conversion of such Series C Stock, (iii) the shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon the exercise of the Common Stock Warrants, (iv) any shares of capital stock of the Company acquired by the Purchasers pursuant to the Investor Rights Agreement or Right of First Refusal and Co-Sale Agreement and (v) any other shares of capital stock of the Company issued in respect of such shares (as a result of stock splits, stock dividends, reclassifications, recapitalizations or similar events); provided, however, that Restricted Shares shall cease to be Restricted Shares (x) upon any sale pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act, Section 4(1) of the Securities Act or Rule 144 under the Securities Act or (y) at such time as they become eligible for sale under Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act. 9.2. Requirements for Transfer. (a) Restricted Shares shall not be sold or transferred unless either (i) they first shall have been registered under the Securities Act or (ii) the Company first shall have been furnished with an opinion of legal counsel or other written evidence reasonably satisfactory to the 20 Company, to the effect that such sale or transfer is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no registration or opinion of counsel shall be required for (i) a transfer by a Purchaser which is a corporation to a wholly owned subsidiary of such corporation, a transfer by a Purchaser which is a partnership to a partner of such partnership or a retired partner of such partnership who retires after the date hereof, or to the estate of any such partner or retired partner, or a transfer by a Purchaser which is a limited liability company to a member of such limited liability company or a retired member who resigns after the date hereof or to the estate of any such member or retired member; provided that the transferee in each case agrees in writing to be subject to the terms of this Section 8 to the same extent as if it were the original Purchaser hereunder or (ii) a transfer made in accordance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act. 9.3. Legend. Each certificate representing Restricted Shares shall bear a legend substantially in the following form: "The shares represented by this certificate have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered, sold or otherwise transferred, pledged or hypothecated unless and until such shares are registered under such Act or an opinion of counsel or other written evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company is obtained to the effect that such registration is not required." The Company shall cause the foregoing legend to be removed from the certificates representing any Restricted Shares, at the request of the holder thereof, at such time as they cease to be Restricted Shares. 9.4. Rule 144A Information. The Company shall, at all times during which it is neither subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), nor exempt from reporting pursuant to Rule 12g3-2(b) under the Exchange Act, upon the written request of any Purchaser, provide in writing to such Purchaser and to any prospective transferee of any Restricted Shares of such Purchaser the information concerning the Company described in Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act ("Rule 144A Information"). The Company also shall, upon the written request of any Purchaser, cooperate with and assist such Purchaser or any member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. PORTAL system in applying to designate and thereafter maintain the eligibility of the Restricted Shares for trading through PORTAL. The Company's obligations under this Section 9.4 shall at all times be contingent upon receipt from the Purchaser of a statement that the prospective transferee of Restricted Shares has agreed in writing to take all reasonable precautions to safeguard the Rule 144A Information from disclosure to anyone other than persons who will assist such transferee in evaluating the purchase of any Restricted Shares. 10. Miscellaneous. 10.1. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

The Company may not assign its rights under this Agreement. 10.2. Confidentiality. Each Purchaser agrees that he, she or it will keep confidential and will not disclose, divulge or use for any purpose other than to monitor his, her or its investment in the Company any confidential, proprietary or secret information which such Purchaser may obtain from the Company pursuant to financial statements, reports and other materials submitted by the Company to such Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement, or pursuant to visitation or inspection rights granted hereunder ("Confidential Information"), unless such Purchaser can demonstrate that such Confidential Information was known by that Purchaser prior to disclosure by the Company to that Purchaser, or until such Confidential Information becomes known, to the public (other than as a result of a breach of this Section 10.2 by such Purchaser); provided, however, that a Purchaser may disclose Confidential Information (i) to its attorneys, accountants, consultants and other professionals to the extent necessary to obtain their services in connection with monitoring its investment in the Company, (ii) to any prospective purchaser of any Shares from such Purchaser as long as such prospective purchaser agrees in writing to be bound by the provisions of this Section 10.2 or substantially equivalent provisions, (iii) to any affiliate of such Purchaser or to a partner, stockholder or subsidiary of such Purchaser or their respective employees, representatives or agents, provided that any such person or entity agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section 10.2 or substantially equivalent provisions, (iv) as may otherwise be required by law or court order, (v) in any report, statement or testimony submitted to any regulatory body having or claiming to have jurisdiction over such Purchaser or its affiliates if and only to the extent such disclosure is required by law or court order, (vi) in response to any summons, subpoena or other legal process or in connection with any other judicial proceeding or inquiry, (vii) in connection with the preservation, exercise or enforcement of any of such Purchaser's rights or remedies under this Agreement or any other Ancillary Agreement or (viii) to correct any materially false or materially misleading information which may become public concerning such Purchaser's relationship to the Company or its affiliates or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, provided that in all cases the Purchaser takes reasonable steps to minimize the extent of any such required disclosure. 10.3.

Brokers. Each party hereto (i) represents and warrants to the other parties hereto that he, she or it has not retained a finder or broker in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (ii) will indemnify and save the other parties harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities or obligations with respect to brokerage or finders' fees or commissions or consulting fees in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement asserted by any person on the basis of any statement or representation alleged to have been made by such indemnifying party. 10.5. Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement. 10.6.
