(b) Underwriting. If the registration of which the Company gives ------------ notice is for a registered public offering involving an underwriting, the Company shall so advise the Investor as a part of the written notice given pursuant to this Section 7.3.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 7.3, (a) if the registration of which the Company gives notice is for the Company's Initial Public Offering, the Company may exclude all Registrable Securities of the Investor if Catalytica determines not to sell any Registrable Securities for Catalytica's account and provided that none of the net proceeds to the Company are used to make any payment to Catalytica, and (b) if the 20 managing underwriter determines that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten, the underwriter may limit the number of the Registrable Securities to be included in such registration and underwriting.

(b) The Investor will, if Registrable Securities held by the Investor are included in the securities as to which such registration, qualification or compliance is being effected, indemnify the Company, each of its directors and officers and its legal counsel and independent accountants, each underwriter, if any, of the Company's securities covered by such a registration statement, and each person who controls the Company or such underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, against all claims, losses, damages and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), including any of the foregoing incurred in settlement of any litigation, commenced or threatened, arising out of or based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any such registration statement, prospectus, offering circular or other document, or any amendment or supplement thereto, incident to any such registration, qualification or compliance, or based on 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, and will reimburse the Company, its directors, officers, partners, legal counsel, independent accountants, underwriters or control persons for any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending any such claim, loss, 22 damage, liability or action, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) or omission (or alleged omission) is made in such registration statement, prospectus, offering circular or other document in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by an instrument duly executed by the Investor and stated to be specifically for use therein and provided the Investor will not be liable for any settlement effected without the Investor's written consent. (c) Each party entitled to indemnification under this Section 7.7 (the "Indemnified Party") shall give notice to the party required to provide indemnification (the "Indemnifying Party") promptly after such Indemnified Party has actual knowledge of any claim as to which indemnity may be sought. The Company shall be entitled to assume the defense of any such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom, provided that counsel for the Indemnified Party, who shall conduct the defense of such claim or litigation, shall be approved by the Indemnified Party (whose approval shall not unreasonably be withheld). The failure of any Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Section 7, unless the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by the failure to give notice promptly. No Indemnifying Party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation, shall, except with the consent of each Indemnified Party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement 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. 7.8 Information by Investor.

Other than to an ---------------------------------------------- Affiliated Transferee, the rights to cause the Company to register securities granted the Investor under this Section 7 may not be assigned to a transferee or assignee in connection with the transfer or assignment of shares of the Restricted Securities. The registration rights granted to the Investor under this Section 7 shall expire when the Investor may sell all its Registrable Securities in any three month period. Section 8. Investor's Right of First Refusal --------------------------------- 8.1 Right of First Refusal. ---------------------- (a) The Company hereby grants to Investor the right of first refusal to purchase New Securities (as defined in this Section 8) which the Company may, from time to time, propose to sell and issue up to (i) the amount of Investor's pro rata share if the purchase price per share is equal to or greater than the Conversion Price (as defined in the Restated Certificate) (as adjusted) (the "Series B Price") plus an additional number of shares as will enable Investor to acquire 19.9% (or 20% if the Company no longer files a consolidated tax return with Catalytica or if the Company upon its own initiative sells New Securities and as a result of such sale or sales cannot file a consolidated tax return) of the Company's total outstanding capital stock if Investor fully exercised its rights under Section 11 of this Agreement or (ii) the amount of one-half (l/2) of the New Securities being issued if the purchase price per share is less than the Series B Price. A pro rata share, for purposes of this right of first refusal, is the ratio that the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock then held by Investor and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of any other securities convertible into Common Stock then held by Investor bears to the sum of the total number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of any then outstanding other securities convertible into Common Stock (except for Common Stock subject to rights issued under plans or grants of the type set forth in Section 8(b)(ii)). In the event of an Initial Public Offering by the Company, Investor shall be permitted to purchase at the public offering price net the underwriting discount directly from the Company either in a separate transaction or if permitted under 24 applicable securities laws as part of the registered offering such amount of securities that would enable Investor to hold, in the aggregate, 20% of the total outstanding capital stock of the Company assuming for purposes of this Section 8 that Investor had fully exercised its option to purchase 535,715 shares of Series B Preferred as described in more detail in Section 11 of this Agreement. (b) Except as set forth below, "New Securities" shall mean any shares of capital stock of the Company, including Common Stock and Preferred Stock, whether or not now authorized, and rights, options or warrants to purchase said shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock, and securities of any type whatsoever that are, or may become, convertible into said shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, "New Securities" does not include: (i) the shares purchased under this Agreement or securities issuable upon conversion of or with respect to the Series A or Series B Preferred Stock or upon conversion of or with respect to any other Preferred Stock subsequently issued; (ii) capital stock issued or issuable to officers, directors or employees of or consultants to the Company, primarily for the purpose of soliciting or retaining their services to the Company, directly or pursuant to a stock option plan, restricted stock purchase plan or other arrangement approved by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, in such amount as shall be approved by such Compensation Committee, provided that a majority of the members of which consist of individuals who are not officers of, or consultants to the Company or any corporation controlling or controlled by the Company or the Company's direct or indirect parent; (iii) capital stock issued pursuant to any rights or agreements, including without limitation convertible securities, options and warrants, provided that the rights of first refusal established by this Section 8.1 apply with respect to the initial sale or grant by the Company of such rights or agreements; (iv) securities issued pursuant to or in connection with any corporate partnership, joint venture or licensing arrangement or in connection with equipment lease financings or bank debt into which the Company may enter; (v) capital stock issued in connection with any stock split, stock dividend or recapitalization by the Company, and (vi) securities issued pursuant to the acquisition of another corporation by the Company by merger, purchase of substantially all of the assets, or other reorganization whereby the Company owns not less than 50% of the voting power of the surviving corporation. 25 8.2 Notice and Closing. ------------------ (a) In the event the Company proposes to undertake an issuance of New Securities, it shall promptly give Investor written notice of its intention, describing the type of New Securities, and the price and general terms upon which the Company proposes to issue the same. The Investor shall have ten (10) business days from the date of receipt of any such notice to agree to purchase up to its respective pro rata share of such New Securities for the price and upon the terms specified in the notice by giving written notice to the Company and stating therein the quantity of New Securities to be purchased. (b) Investor's notice to the Company of exercise of its rights under this Section 8 shall constitute Investor's irrevocable acceptance of the Company's offer, subject to customary closing conditions as set forth in the terms to new investors. (c) The purchase and sale of any securities pursuant to any offer made under this Section 8 that is accepted by the Investor shall take place at 7:00 a.m. on the date of the closing of the issuance of New Securities, or at such other time and place as the Company and the Investor may mutually agree. The purchase price shall be payable in cash or in such other form as set forth in the terms to the new investors at the discretion of the Investor. The issuance of such shares shall be conditioned upon compliance with applicable laws and regulations and requirements of any applicable stock exchange and the absence of any order in effect enjoining or restraining such exercise or issuance. 8.3 Waiver. In the event Investor fails to exercise the right of first ------ refusal within the period set forth in Section 8.2, the Company shall have ninety (90) days thereafter to sell or enter into an agreement (pursuant to which the sale of New Securities covered thereby shall be closed, if at all, within sixty (60) days from the date of said agreement) to sell the New Securities not elected to be purchased by Investor at the price and upon terms no more favorable to the purchasers of such securities than specified in the Company's notice.
