(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company shall furnish to the Holders requesting a registration statement pursuant to this Section 2.2 a certificate signed by the Chief Executive Officer or President of the Company stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board it would be detrimental to the Company and its stockholders for such registration statement to be filed and it is therefore in the best interests of the Company to defer the filing of such registration statement, the Company shall have the right to defer taking action with respect to such filing for a period of not more than 90 days; provided, however, that the Company may not utilize this right more than once in any 12-month period.

(iv) 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 2.4 below.
6
(e) The Company shall pay all expenses incurred in connection with each registration requested pursuant to this Section 2.2 (excluding underwriters or brokers discounts and commissions) including, without limitation, all filing, federal and blue sky registration and qualification fees, printers and accounting fees, the fees and expenses of counsel for the Company, and the reasonable fees and disbursements of one counsel for the selling Holder or Holders; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay for any expenses of any registration proceeding begun pursuant to this Section 2.2 if the registration request is subsequently withdrawn at the request of the Holders of at least 50% of the Registrable Securities to be registered unless the registration is withdrawn because the Company disclosed information that is materially adverse to the Company or its stock price, in which case the Company will be required to pay such expenses.
2.3 Piggyback Registrations. The Company shall promptly notify all Holders of Registrable Securities in writing twenty (20) days prior to filing any registration statement under the Securities Act for purposes of effecting a public offering of securities of the Company (including, but not limited to, registration statements relating to secondary offerings of securities of the Company by selling stockholders, but excluding (i) Special Registration Statements, (ii) registration statements relating to any registration under Section 2.4 of this Agreement, and (iii) registrations on any form that does not include substantially the same information as would be required to be included in a registration statement covering the sale of the Registrable Securities) and will afford each such Holder an opportunity to include in such registration statement all or any part of the Registrable Securities then held by such Holder. Each Holder desiring to include in any such registration statement all or any part of the Registrable Securities held by such Holder shall, within 20 days after receipt of the above-described notice from the Company, so notify the Company in writing, and in such notice shall inform the Company of the number of Registrable Securities such Holder wishes to include in such registration statement. If a Holder decides not to include all of its Registrable Securities in any registration statement thereafter filed by the Company, such Holder shall nevertheless continue to have the right to include any Registrable Securities in any subsequent registration statement or registration statements as may be filed by the Company with respect to offerings of its securities, all upon the terms and conditions set forth herein. Any Holder who elects to include some or all of its Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 2.3 shall cooperate with the Company in the preparation of any and all documents and instruments the Company reasonably deems necessary for the preparation of any applicable registration statement, and such Holders shall supply the Company with any and all information the Company reasonably deems necessary with respect to any registration statement.
(a) Right to Terminate Registration. The Company shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under this Section 2.3 prior to the effectiveness of such registration whether or not any Holder has elected to include securities in such registration. The expenses of such withdrawn registration shall be borne by the Company in accordance with 2.3(c).
(b) Underwriting. If a registration statement for which the Company gives notice pursuant to this Section 2.3 is for an underwritten offering, then the Company shall so advise the Holders of Registrable Securities. In such event, the right of any Holders Registrable Securities to be included in a registration pursuant to this Section 2.3 shall be conditioned upon
7
such Holders participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holders Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided herein. All Holders proposing to distribute their Registrable Securities through such underwriting shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the managing underwriter or underwriter(s) selected for such underwriting. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the managing underwriter(s) determine(s) in good faith that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten, then the managing underwriter(s) may exclude shares (including Registrable Securities) from the registration and the underwriting but in no event shall the amount of securities of the selling Holders included in the offering be reduced below thirty percent (30%) of the total amount of securities included in such offering, unless such offering is the initial public offering of the Common Stock pursuant to an effective registration statement filed under the Securities Act (the IPO), in which case the selling stockholders may be excluded if the underwriters make the determination described above and no other stockholders securities are included. The number of shares that may be included in the registration and the underwriting shall be allocated first, to the Company and second, to the Holders requesting inclusion of their Registrable Securities in such registration on a pro rata basis based upon the total number of Registrable Securities then held by each such Holder; provided, however, that the right of the underwriters to exclude shares from the registration and underwriting as described above in this Section 2.3 shall be restricted so that all shares (i) that are not Registrable Securities and (ii) held by Founders, directors and employees of the Company, regardless of whether such shares are Registrable Securities, shall first be excluded from such registration and underwriting. If any Holder disapproves of the terms of any such underwriting, such Holder may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company and the underwriter, delivered at least 20 business days prior to the effective date of the registration statement. Any Registrable Securities excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting shall be excluded and withdrawn from the registration. For any Holder that is a partnership or corporation, the partners, retired partners and shareholders of such Holder, or the estates and family members of any such partners, shareholders and retired partners and any trusts for the benefit of any of the foregoing persons shall be deemed to be a single Holder, and any pro rata reduction with respect to such Holder shall be based upon the aggregate amount of shares carrying registration rights owned by all entities and individuals included in such Holder, as defined in this sentence.
(c) Expenses. All expenses incurred in connection with a registration pursuant to this Section 2.3 (excluding underwriters and brokers discounts and commissions) including, without limitation, all filing, federal and blue sky registration and qualification fees, printers and accounting fees, the fees and expenses of counsel for the Company, and the reasonable fees and disbursements of one counsel for the selling Holder or Holders shall be borne by the Company.
2.4 Form S-3 Registration. In the event the Company shall receive from any Holder or Holders of at least 25% of all Registrable Securities then outstanding a written request or requests that the Company effect a registration on Form S-3 and any related qualification or compliance with respect to all or a part of the Registrable Securities owned by such Holder or Holders, then the Company will:
8
(a) Notice. Promptly give written notice of the proposed registration and the Holders or Holders request therefor, and any related qualification or compliance, to all other Holders; and
(b) Registration. As soon as reasonably practicable, effect such registration and all such qualifications and compliances as may be so requested and as would permit or facilitate the sale and distribution of all or such portion of such Holders or Holders Registrable Securities as are specified in such request, together with all or such portion of the Registrable Securities of any other Holder or Holders joining in such request as are specified in a written request given within 20 days after receipt of such written notice from the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to effect any such registration, qualification or compliance pursuant to this Section 2.4:
(i) if Form S-3 is not available for such offering by the Holders;
(ii) if the Holders, together with the holders of any other securities of the Company entitled to inclusion in such registration, propose to sell Registrable Securities and such other securities (if any) at an aggregate price to the public of less than $1,000,000;
(iii) if the Company shall furnish to the Holders a certificate signed by the President of the Company stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board, it would be detrimental to the Company and its stockholders for such Form S-3 Registration to be effected at such time, in which event the Company shall have the right to defer the filing of the Form S-3 registration statement no more than twice during any 12-month period for a period of not more than 90 days, after receipt of the request of the Holder or Holders under this Section 2.4; or
(iv) after the Company has effected two registrations pursuant to this Section 2.4 in any twelve month period and such registrations have been declared or ordered effective.
(c) Expenses. The Company shall pay all expenses incurred in connection with each registration requested pursuant to this Section 2.4 (excluding underwriters or brokers discounts and commissions) including, without limitation, all filing, federal and blue sky registration and qualification fees, printers and accounting fees, the fees and expenses of counsel for the Company, and (in the case of the first three registrations under this Section 2.4) the reasonable fees and disbursements of one counsel for the selling Holder or Holders.
2.5 Obligations of the Company. Whenever required to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities under this Agreement, the Company shall, as expeditiously as reasonably possible:
(a) Prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement with respect to such Registrable Securities and use its reasonable efforts to 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 until the earlier of (i) 120 successive days or (ii) such time as the distribution contemplated in the registration statement has been completed.
9
(b) Prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection with such registration statement as may be reasonably necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement.
(c) Furnish to the Holders such number of copies of a prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents as they may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by them that are included in such registration.
(d) Use its reasonable efforts to register and qualify the securities covered by such registration statement under such other securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as shall be reasonably requested by the Holders, provided that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to qualify to do business or to file a general consent to service of process or subject itself to taxation in any such states or jurisdictions.
(e) In the event of any underwritten public offering, enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary form, with the managing underwriter(s) of such offering. Each Holder participating in such underwriting shall also enter into and perform its obligations under such an underwriting agreement.
(f) Cause all such Registrable Securities registered pursuant hereunder to be listed on each securities exchange on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed.
(g) Provide a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable Securities registered pursuant hereunder and a CUSIP number for all such Registrable Securities, in each case not later than the effective date of such registration.
(h) Notify each Holder covered by such registration statement at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act of the happening of any event of which the Company becomes aware as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing.
(i) Furnish, at the request of any Holder requesting registration of Registrable Securities, on the date that such Registrable Securities are delivered to the underwriters for sale, if such securities are being sold through underwriters or, if such securities are not being sold through underwriters, on the date that the registration statement with respect to such securities becomes effective, (i) an opinion, dated as of such date, of the counsel representing the Company for the purposes of such registration, in form and substance as is customarily given to underwriters in an underwritten public offering, or if not underwritten, in form and substance as is customarily given to underwriters and reasonably satisfactory to counsel to the Holder offering the greatest number of Registrable Securities for sale in the registration, addressed to the
10
underwriters, if any, and to the Holders requesting registration of Registrable Securities, and (ii) a comfort letter dated as of such date, from the independent certified public accountants of the Company, in form and substance as is customarily given by independent certified public accountants to underwriters in an underwritten public offering, or if not underwritten, in form and substance as is customarily given to underwriters and reasonably satisfactory to counsel to the Holder offering the greatest number of Registrable Securities for sale in the registration, addressed to the underwriters, if any, and to the Holders requesting registration of Registrable Securities.
2.6 Furnish Information. It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to take any action pursuant to Sections 2.2, 2.3 or 2.4 that the selling Holders shall furnish to the Company such information regarding themselves, the Registrable Securities held by them and the intended method of disposition of such securities as shall be required to timely effect the registration of their Registrable Securities.
2.7 Indemnification. In the event any Registrable Securities are included in a registration statement under Sections 2.2, 2.3 or 2.4:
(a) By the Company. To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, the partners, officers and directors of each Holder, any underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act) for such Holder and each person, if any, who controls such Holder or underwriter within the meaning of the Exchange Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (joint or several) to which they may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any of the following statements, omissions or violations (collectively a Violation):
(i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in such registration statement, including any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or any amendments or supplements thereto;
(ii) the omission or alleged omission to state in such registration statement, including any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or any amendments or supplements thereto, a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; or
(iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any federal or state securities law or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any federal or state securities law in connection with the offering covered by such registration statement;
and the Company will reimburse each such Holder or partner, officer, director, underwriter or controlling person or Affiliate of such Holders for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them, in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this subsection 2.7(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 Company, which
11
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, nor shall the Company be liable in any such case for any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action to the extent that it arises out of or is based upon a Violation that occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished expressly for use in connection with such registration by such Holder, partner, officer, director, underwriter or controlling person of such Holder.
(b) By Selling Holders. To the extent permitted by law, each selling Holder will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who have signed the registration statement, each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, any underwriter and any other Holder selling securities under such registration statement or any of such other Holders partners, directors or officers or any person who controls such Holder within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (joint or several) to which the Company or any such director, officer, controlling person, underwriter or other such Holder, partner or director, officer or controlling person of such other Holder may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereto) arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in each case to the extent (and only to the extent) that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by such Holder expressly for use in connection with such registration; and each such Holder will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company or any such director, officer, controlling person, underwriter or other Holder, partner, officer, director or controlling person of such other Holder in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this subsection 2.7(b) 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 such Holder, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; and provided, further, that the total amounts payable in indemnity by a Holder under this Section 2.7(b) in respect of any Violation shall not exceed the net proceeds received by such Holder in the registered offering out of which such Violation arises.
(c) Notice. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 2.7 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action), such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 2.7, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the parties; provided, however, that an indemnified party (together with all other indemnified parties which may be represented without conflict by one counsel) shall have the right to retain one separate counsel, with the fees and expenses 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 of interests between such indemnified party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action, if prejudicial to its ability to defend such action, shall relieve such indemnifying party of liability to the extent so prejudiced to the indemnified party under this Section 2.7, but the omission so to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 2.7.
12
(d) Contribution. In order to provide for just and equitable contribution to joint liability under the Securities Act in any case in which either (i) any Holder exercising rights under this Agreement, or any controlling person of any such Holder, makes a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Section 2.7 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 2.7 provides for indemnification in such case, or (ii) contribution under the Securities Act may be required on the part of any such selling Holder or any such controlling person in circumstances for which indemnification is provided under this Section 2.7, then, and in each such case, the Company and such Holder will contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which they may be subject (after contribution from others) in such proportion so that such Holder is responsible for the portion represented by the percentage that the public offering price of its Registrable Securities offered by and sold under the registration statement bears to the public offering price of all securities offered by and sold under such registration statement, and the Company and other selling Holders shall be responsible for the remaining portion; provided, however, that, in any such case, (A) no such Holder will be required to contribute any amount in excess of the net proceeds received by such Holder from the public offering price of all such Registrable Securities offered and sold by such Holder pursuant to such registration statement and (B) no person or entity guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) will be entitled to contribution from any person or entity who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
(e) Underwriting Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the provisions on indemnification and contribution contained in the underwriting agreement entered into in connection with an underwritten public offering are in conflict with the foregoing provisions, the provisions in the underwriting agreement shall control and supersede the provisions hereof.
(f) Survival. The obligations of the Company and Holders under this Section 2.7 shall survive the closing of the transactions contemplated hereby.
2.8 Rule 144 Reporting. With a view to making available the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the Commission that may at any time permit the sale of the Registrable Securities to the public without registration, after such time as the Company has become subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the Company agrees to:
(a) make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act, at all times after 90 days after the IPO, in accordance with the requirements of Rule 144(c), after the effective date of the first registration under the Securities Act filed by the Company for an offering of its securities to the general public;
13
(b) use its reasonable efforts to file with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act (at any time after it has become subject to such reporting requirements); and
(c) so long as a Holder owns any Registrable Securities, furnish to such Holder forthwith upon request (i) a written statement by the Company as to its compliance with the reporting requirements of Rule 144 (at any time after 90 days after the effective date of the first registration statement filed by the Company for an offering of its securities to the general public) and of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act (at any time after it has become subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act), (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company and (iii) such other reports and documents of the Company as a Holder may reasonably request in availing itself of any rule or regulation of the Commission allowing a Holder to sell any such securities without registration (at any time after the Company has become subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act).
2.9 Termination of Registration Rights. The rights to cause the Company to register securities under Section 2 of this Agreement (and to receive notices pursuant to Section 2 of this Agreement) shall terminate, with respect to each Holder, on the earlier of (i) the fifth anniversary of the date of the closing of the IPO, and (ii) with respect to each Holder, at such time following the closing of the IPO when all of such Holders Registrable Securities may be sold in any three-month period without registration pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities 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 sixty-six and seven-tenths percent (66.7%) of the Registrable Securities then outstanding, enter into any agreement with any holder or prospective holder of any securities of the Company that would allow such holder or prospective holder to include such securities in any registration filed under Section 2.3 hereof, unless under the terms of such agreement such holder or prospective holder may include such securities in any such registration only to the extent that the inclusion of such securities will not reduce the amount of Registrable Securities of the Holders to be included.
2.11 Market Stand Off Agreement.
(a) Each Investor hereby agrees that, during the period of duration not to exceed 180 days specified by the Company and an underwriter of Common Stock or other securities of the Company, following the effective date of the first registration statement for a firm commitment underwritten public offering of the Companys securities filed under the Securities Act, and, for a period of duration not to exceed 90 days specified by the Company and an underwriter of Common Stock or other securities of the Company, following the effective date of each subsequent registration statement for a firm commitment underwritten public offering of the Companys securities filed under the Securities Act, it shall not, to the extent requested by the Company and such underwriter, directly or indirectly, sell, offer to sell, contract to sell (including, without limitation, any short sale), grant any option to purchase or otherwise transfer or dispose of (other than to donees who agree to be similarly bound), or reduce its interest in (collectively, Transfer), any securities of the Company held by it at any time during such period except Common Stock included in such registration; provided, however, that all
14
executive officers, directors and stockholders that hold one percent (1%) or more of the Common Stock (including on an as-converted basis any shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion or exercise of any share of Preferred Stock, warrant, right or other security) of the Company enter into similar agreements. Such restrictions, however, shall not be applicable to transfers to any affiliated entity of such Investor, including any affiliated corporation, partnership, limited partnership, limited liability company or investment fund, or to any stockholders, partners, general partners, limited partners and members of such Investor, in each case who agree in writing to be bound by this Agreement, including this Section 2.11.
(b) In order to enforce the foregoing covenants, the Company may impose stop transfer instructions with respect to the Registrable Securities of the Investors (and the shares or securities of every other person subject to the foregoing restriction) until the end of such period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the obligations described in this Section 2.11 shall not apply to a registration relating solely to employee benefit plans on Form S-1 or Form S-8 or similar forms that may be promulgated in the future, or to a registration relating solely to a Commission Rule 145 transaction.
2.12 S-3 Registration Requirements. Notwithstanding anything else contained in this Agreement, the Company shall not become obligated to become subject to the Exchange Act and, the Investors acknowledge, until such time as the Company becomes subject to the Exchange Act, the Company will be legally precluded from registering securities under a Form S-3 and, accordingly, no provisions in this Agreement to the contrary shall be deemed to require the Company to undertake such a registration until the Company legally is qualified to do so.
3. RIGHT OF FIRST OFFER.
3.1 General.
(a) Each Investor holding at least 900,000 shares of Preferred Stock and/or Common Stock issued or issuable upon the conversion thereof (each such Investor hereinafter referred to as a Rights Holder) has the right of first offer to purchase such Rights Holders Pro Rata Share (as defined below) of all (or any part) of any New Securities (as defined in Section 3.2) that the Company may from time to time issue after the date of this Agreement at the most favorable price and at the most favorable terms and conditions as the Company offers to any investor in connection with the offering of New Securities.
(b) A Rights Holders Pro Rata Share for purposes of this right of first offer is the ratio of (a) the number of Registrable Securities as to which such Rights Holder is the Holder (and/or is deemed to be the Holder under Section 2.1(d)) to (b) a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the sum of (i) the total number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding plus (ii) the total number of shares of Common Stock into which all then outstanding shares of Preferred Stock are then convertible plus (iii) the total number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance pursuant to equity incentive plans approved by the Board or upon the conversion of all other convertible securities.
3.2 New Securities. New Securities shall mean any Common Stock or Preferred Stock of the Company, whether now authorized or not, and rights, options or warrants to
15
purchase such Common Stock or Preferred Stock, and securities of any type whatsoever, including notes or other debt instruments, that are, or may become, convertible or exchangeable into such Common Stock or Preferred Stock; provided, however, that the term New Securities does not include:
(a) shares of the Common Stock (and/or options or warrants therefor) issued or issuable to employees, officers, directors, contractors, advisors or consultants of the Company pursuant to stock options or other stock incentive agreements or plans approved by the Board and not primarily for equity financing purposes;
(b) any shares of Series E Preferred Stock issued on or after the date hereof pursuant to the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement;
(c) any shares of Common Stock or other securities issuable upon conversion of or with respect to any then outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, Series B-1 Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock, Series D Preferred Stock, Series D Preferred Stock or Series E Preferred Stock or Common Stock or other securities issuable upon conversion thereof;
(d) shares of Series D Preferred Stock (or Common Stock issued upon conversion thereof) issuable upon exercise of currently outstanding warrants;
(e) shares of Series D Preferred Stock (or Common Stock issued upon conversion thereof) issuable upon exercise of currently outstanding warrants;
(f) shares of Series C Preferred Stock (or Common Stock issued upon conversion thereof) issuable upon exercise of currently outstanding warrants;
(g) any shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock (or any other security of the Company) issued in connection with any stock split or stock dividend;
(h) any securities offered by the Company to the public pursuant to a registration statement filed under the Securities Act;
(i) any securities issued pursuant to the acquisition of another corporation or entity by the Company by consolidation, merger, purchase of all or substantially all of the assets or other reorganization in which the Company acquires, in a single transaction or Series of related transactions, all or substantially all of the assets of such other corporation or entity, 50% or more of the voting power of such other corporation or entity, or 50% or more of the equity ownership of such other entity; or
(j) shares of any capital stock (and/or options or warrants therefor) issued to parties providing the Company with equipment leases, real property leases, loans, credit lines, guaranties of indebtedness, cash price reductions or similar financing or other strategic partners approved by the Board of Directors and not primarily for equity financing purposes.
3.3 Procedures. If the Company proposes to undertake an issuance of New Securities, it shall give written notice to each Rights Holder of its intention to issue New Securities (the Notice), describing the type of New Securities and the price and the general terms upon which
16
the Company proposes to issue such New Securities. Each Rights Holder shall have thirty days from the date of mailing of any such Notice to agree in writing to purchase such Rights Holders Pro Rata Share of such New Securities for the price and upon the general terms specified in the Notice by giving written notice to the Company and stating therein the quantity of New Securities to be purchased (not to exceed such Rights Holders Pro Rata Share). Notwithstanding the terms set forth in the Notice, each Rights Holder shall have the right to pay cash for New Securities offered in the Notice. If any Rights Holder fails to so agree in writing within such thirty day period to purchase such Rights Holders full Pro Rata Share of an offering of New Securities (a Nonpurchasing Holder), then such Nonpurchasing Holder shall forfeit the right hereunder to purchase that part of its Pro Rata Share of such New Securities that it did not so agree to purchase and the Company shall promptly give each Rights Holder (if any) who has timely agreed to purchase its full Pro Rata Share of such offering of New Securities (a Purchasing Holder) written notice of the failure of any Nonpurchasing Holder to purchase such Nonpurchasing Rights Holders full Pro Rata Share of such offering of New Securities (the Overallotment Notice). Each Purchasing Holder shall have a right of overallotment such that such Purchasing Holder may agree to purchase a portion of the Nonpurchasing Holders unpurchased Pro Rata Share of such offering on a pro rata basis according to the relative Pro Rata Shares of the Purchasing Rights Holders at any time within five days after receiving the Overallotment Notice.
3.4 Failure to Exercise. If any Rights Holder fails to exercise in full the right of first offer within such thirty plus five day period, then the Company shall have 60 days thereafter to sell the New Securities with respect to which such Rights Holders rights of first offer hereunder were not exercised, at a price and upon general terms not materially more favorable to the purchasers thereof than specified in the Notice. If the Company has not issued and sold the New Securities within such 60 day period, then the Company shall not thereafter issue or sell any New Securities without again first offering such New Securities to the Rights Holders pursuant to this Section 3.
3.5 Termination. This right of first offer shall terminate (i) immediately before the closing of a Qualified IPO or (ii) upon (a) the acquisition of all or substantially all the assets of the Company or (b) an acquisition of the Company by another corporation or entity by consolidation or merger in which the holders of the Companys outstanding voting stock immediately prior to such transaction own, immediately after such transaction, securities representing less than 50% or more of the voting power of the corporation or other entity surviving such transaction.
4. COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY.
4.1 Vesting Schedule. Unless the Board so authorizes, the Company shall not issue any shares of Common Stock directly or indirectly to its employees, either through equity compensation plans or otherwise, unless such shares of Common Stock are (a) subject to a vesting schedule, such that 25% of the shares of Common Stock so issued would vest on the one-year anniversary of the date of issuance or vesting commencement date, as applicable, with the balance vesting in thirty-six (36) equal monthly installments thereafter, thereby totaling a four-year vesting schedule and (b) subject to a right of first refusal in favor of the Company in the event of transfer.

The Observers may participate in discussions of matters brought to the Board of Directors; provided, however, that such Observers agree (i) to hold in confidence and trust and not use or disclose any confidential information provided to or learned by them in connection with their rights under this Agreement, and (ii) that the Observers may be excluded from, and shall not be delivered written information with respect to, any portion of a meeting of the Board of Directors in which management intends to disclose confidential business information regarding (a) product strategy, pricing, technology, customer relationships or similar matters if a majority of the Board of Directors determines, in advance of such meeting, that the disclosure of such information to the Observers would be detrimental to the Companys business, or (b) joint marketing arrangements, joint development projects, mergers, acquisitions, joint ventures or strategic alliances if a majority of the Board of Directors determines that disclosure of such information to the Observers would be detrimental to the Companys business. In the event a representative of T Venture is appointed to the Board of Directors to fill the seat of the Deutsche Telekom Director, as defined in the Companys Amended and Restated Voting Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, the Companys obligation to invite a T Venture Observer shall terminate. Mr. Hershensons rights under this Section 4.2 shall terminate in the event Mr. Hershenson is employed (either on a full, part time or consulting basis), by a competitor of the Company, as determined by the Board in good faith and in its sole discretion.
4.3 Director Expenses. The Company shall reimburse the directors elected by a majority of the Series A Preferred Stock, a majority of the Series B-1 Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock and the Series D Preferred Stock, and the Observers (the Representatives) for the reasonable out-of-pocket travel expenses incurred by the Representatives in connection with the attendance of meetings of the Companys Board of Directors (and only for the Companys portion of such expenses in the event such expenses are allocable to other board meetings or business matters of a Representative). Other authorized expenses of the Representatives shall be reimbursed in accordance with the Companys expense reimbursement policy.

The Company will cause each person now or hereafter employed by it or any subsidiary with access to confidential information to enter into a proprietary information and inventions agreement substantially in the form approved by the Board of Directors.

In the event of such termination, the Company will promptly thereafter engage another Big Four firm. In its notice to the Holders the Company shall state whether the change of accountants was recommended or approved by the Board of Directors of the Company or any committee thereof.
4.6 Key-Man Insurance. The Company shall maintain term life insurance policies, payable to the Company, on the lives of the Joe F. Britt, Jr. and Matthew J. Hershenson, each in the amount of $1,000,000.
