Each certificate evidencing the Restricted Securities transferred as above provided shall bear the appropriate restrictive legend set forth in Section 2.2 above, except that such certificate shall not bear such restrictive legend (i) if such transfer is made pursuant to Rule 144 or (ii) if in the opinion of counsel for such holder, and in the reasonable opinion of the Company, such legend is not required in order to establish compliance with any provision of the Securities Act.

3
opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company, that such security can be sold pursuant to Section (k) of Rule 144 under the Securities Act.
3. Registration Rights.
3.1. Requested Registration.
(a) Requested Registration. If at any time after twelve (12) months following the effective date of the Companys initial public offering of its Common Stock or the second anniversary of the Purchase Agreement: (1) Initiating Holders request that the Company file a registration statement for at least 50% of the Registrable Securities or (2) the holders of at least 50% of the Registrable Securities request that the Company effect a registration the aggregate proceeds from which would equal or exceed $25,000,000 (net of underwriting discounts and commissions) the Company will:
(i) within ten days of the receipt by the Company of such notice, give written notice of the proposed registration, qualification or compliance to all other Holders; and
(ii) as soon as practicable and in any event within sixty (60) days of the receipt by the Company of such notice, use its best efforts to effect such registration, qualification or compliance (including, without limitation, appropriate qualification under applicable blue sky or other state securities laws and appropriate compliance with applicable regulations issued under the Securities Act and any other governmental requirements or regulations) as may be so requested and as would permit or facilitate the sale and distribution of all or such portion of such Registrable Securities as are specified in such request, together with all or such portion of the Registrable Securities of any Holder or Holders joining in such request as are specified in a written request received by the Company within 20 days after receipt of such written notice from the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to take any action to effect any such registration, qualification or compliance pursuant to this Section 3.1:
(1) In any particular jurisdiction in which the Company would be required to execute a general consent to service of process in effecting such registration, qualification or compliance unless the Company is already subject to service in such jurisdiction and except as may be required by the Securities Act;
(2) During the period starting with the date ninety (90) days prior to the Companys estimated date of filing of, and ending on the date three (3) months immediately following the effective date of, any registration statement pertaining to securities of the Company (other than a registration of securities in a Rule 145 transaction or with respect to an employee benefit plan, in which case there shall be no such limitation on the Companys obligation, or with respect to the Companys first registered public offering of its stock in which case the period shall end on the date six (6) months following the effective date), provided that the Company is actively employing in good faith all reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective;
4
(3) After the Company has effected two (2) such registration pursuant to this Section 3.1(a), and such registration has been declared or ordered effective and the securities offered thereunder have been sold; or
(4) If the Company shall furnish to such Holders a certificate signed by the President of the Company stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors it would be seriously detrimental to the Company or its stockholders for a registration statement to be filed in the near future, then the Companys obligation to use its best efforts to register, qualify or comply under this Section 3.1 shall be deferred for a period not to exceed 90 days from the date of receipt of written request from the Holders; provided, however, that the Company shall not exercise such right more than once in any twelve-month period.
Subject to the foregoing clauses (1) through (4), the Company shall file a registration statement covering the Registrable Securities so requested to be registered as soon as practicable and in any event within ninety (90) days after receipt of the request or requests of the Holders.
(b) Underwriting. In the event that a registration pursuant to Section 3.1 is for a registered public offering involving an underwriting, the Company shall so advise the Holders as part of the notice given pursuant to Section 3.1(a)(i). In such event, the right of any Holder to registration pursuant to Section 3.1 shall be conditioned upon such Holders participation in the underwriting arrangements required by this Section 3.1, and the inclusion of such Holders Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent requested shall be limited to the extent provided herein.
The Company shall (together with all Holders proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the managing underwriter of recognized national standing selected for such underwriting by the Company and reasonably acceptable to a majority of such Holders. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 3.1, if the managing underwriter advises such Holders in writing that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten, then the Company shall so advise all holders of Registrable Securities and the number of shares of Registrable Securities that may be included in the registration and underwriting shall be allocated among all such Holders in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective amounts of Registrable Securities held by such Holders at the time of filing the registration statement or in such other manner as shall be agreed to by the Company and Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities proposed to be included in such registration; provided, however, that the number of Registrable Securities to be included in such underwriting shall not be reduced unless all other securities are first entirely excluded from such underwriting. No Registrable Securities excluded from the underwriting by reason of the underwriters marketing limitation shall be included in such registration. To facilitate the allocation of shares in accordance with the above provisions, the Company or the underwriters may round the number of shares allocated to any Holder to the nearest 100 shares.
If any Holder of Registrable Securities disapproves of the terms of the underwriting, such Holder may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company, the managing underwriter and the Holders. The Registrable Securities and/or other securities so withdrawn shall also be withdrawn from registration, and such Registrable Securities shall not be transferred
5
in a public distribution prior to 180 days after the effective date of such registration, or such other shorter period of time as the underwriters may require.
3.2. Company Registration.
(a) Notice of Registration. If at any time or from time to time the Company shall determine to register any of its securities, either for its own account or the account of a security holder or holders, other than (i) a registration relating solely to employee benefit plans, (ii) a registration relating solely to a Commission Rule 145 transaction, (iii) a registration relating to the initial underwritten public offering of the Companys securities pursuant to a registration statement filed under the Securities Act or (iv) a registration pursuant to Section 3.1 hereof, the Company will:
(i) promptly give to each Holder written notice thereof; and
(ii) include in such registration (and any related qualification under blue sky laws or other compliance), and in any underwriting involved therein, all the Registrable Securities specified in a written request or requests, made within 10 days after receipt of such written notice from the Company, by any Holder.
(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 Holders as a part of the written notice given pursuant to Section 3.2(a)(i). In such event the right of any Holder to registration pursuant to Section 3.2 shall be conditioned upon such Holders participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided herein. All Holders proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting shall (together with the Company) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the managing underwriter selected for such underwriting by the Company. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 3.2, if the managing underwriter determines that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten, the managing underwriter may limit the Registrable Securities and other securities to be distributed through such underwriting; provided, however, that no such reduction shall reduce the number of shares of Registrable Securities included in the registration below thirty percent (30%) of the total amount of securities included in such registration, unless such offering is the first registered public offering of the Companys stock and such registration does not include shares of any other selling stockholders, in which event any or all of the Registrable Securities may be excluded if the underwriters make the determination described above. The Company shall so advise all Holders distributing their securities through such underwriting of such limitation and the number of shares of Registrable Securities that may be included in the registration and underwriting shall be allocated among all Holders in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective amounts of Registrable Securities held by such Holders at the time of filing the registration statement. To facilitate the allocation of shares in accordance with the above provisions, the Company may round the number of shares allocated to any Holder to the nearest 100 shares. 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 managing underwriter. Any securities excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting shall be withdrawn from such registration, and shall not be transferred in a public distribution prior to 180 days after
6
the effective date of the registration statement relating thereto, or such other shorter period of time as the underwriters may require.
(c) Right to Terminate Registration. The Company shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under this Section 3.2 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 Company in accordance with Section 3.4 hereof.
3.3. Registration on Form S-3.
(a) If any Holder or Holders request that the Company file a registration statement on Form S-3 (or any successor form to Form S-3), or any similar short form registration statement, for a public offering of Registrable Securities, the reasonably anticipated aggregate price to the public of which net of underwriting discounts and commissions, would exceed $1,000,000 and the Company is a registrant entitled to use Form S-3 to register the Registrable Securities for such an offering, the Company shall use its best efforts to cause such Registrable Securities to be registered on such form for the offering and to cause such Registrable Securities to be qualified in such jurisdictions as the Holder or Holders may reasonably request; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to effect more than three (3) registrations (which have been declared effective and pursuant to which all securities registered thereunder have been sold) pursuant to this Section 3.3 or more than one (1) such registration in any 12 month period. After the Companys first public offering of its securities, the Company will use its best efforts to qualify for Form S-3 registration or a similar short-form registration. The provisions of Section 3.1(b) shall be applicable to each registration initiated under this Section 3.3.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be obligated to take any action pursuant to this Section 3.3:
(i) in any particular jurisdiction in which the Company would be required to execute a general consent to service of process in effecting such registration, qualification or compliance unless the Company is already subject to service in such jurisdiction and except as may be required by the Securities Act;
(ii) if the Company, within ten (10) days of the receipt of the request of the initiating Holders, gives notice of its bona fide intention to effect the filing of a registration statement with the Commission within ninety (90) days of receipt of such request (other than with respect to a registration statement relating to a Rule 145 transaction, or an offering solely to employees);
(iii) during the period starting with the date ninety (90) days prior to the Companys estimated date of filing of, and ending on the date three (3) months immediately following, the effective date of any registration statement pertaining to securities of the Company (other than a registration of securities in a Rule 145 transaction or with respect to an employee benefit plan), provided that the Company is actively employing in good faith all reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective; or
7
(iv) if the Company shall furnish to such Holder a certificate signed by the President of the Company stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors it would be seriously detrimental to the Company or its stockholders for registration statements to be filed in the near future, then the Companys obligation to use its best efforts to file a registration statement shall be deferred for a period not to exceed 90 days from the receipt of the request to file such registration by such Holder; provided, however, that the Company shall not exercise such right more than once in any twelve-month period.
3.4. Expenses of Registration. All Registration Expenses incurred in connection with registrations pursuant to Sections 3.1, 3.2 and 3.3 shall be borne by the Company. All Selling Expenses relating to securities registered on behalf of the Holders shall be borne by the holders of securities included in such registration pro rata with the Company and among each other on the basis of the number of shares so registered. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if a registration proceeding begun pursuant to Section 3.1 or 3.3 is subsequently withdrawn by the Holders, either (a) if Holders of all of the Registrable Securities to have been registered agree, then the Holders of the Registrable Securities to have been registered shall bear all such Registration Expenses pro rata on the basis of the number of shares to have been registered, or (b) if all such Holders do not agree, then the Holders will forfeit their right to one registration pursuant to such section, and the Company shall bear such Registration Expenses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, if at the time of the withdrawal, the Holders have learned of a material adverse change in the condition or business of the Company from that known to the Holders at the time of their request, then the Holders shall not be required to pay any of said Registration Expenses or to forfeit the right to one demand registration, and the Company shall pay the same.
3.5. Registration Procedures. In the case of each registration, qualification or compliance effected by the Company pursuant to this Section 3, the Company will keep each Holder advised in writing as to the initiation of each registration, qualification and compliance and as to the completion thereof. At its expense the Company will:
(a) Prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement with respect to such securities and use its best efforts to cause such registration statement to become and remain effective for at least ninety (90) days or until the distribution described in the Registration Statement has been completed;
(b) Prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection with such registration statement as may be 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 participating in such registration and to the underwriters of the securities being registered such reasonable number of copies of the registration statement, preliminary prospectus, final prospectus and such other documents as such underwriters may reasonably request in order to facilitate the public offering of such securities;
8
(d) Furnish, at the request of any Holder requesting registration of Registrable Securities that are delivered to the underwriters for sale in connection with a registration pursuant to this Section 3.5, (i) an opinion, dated 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, addressed to the underwriters, if any, and to the Holders requesting registration of Registrable Securities and (ii) a letter dated such date, from the independent accountants of the Company, in form and substance as is customarily given by independent accountants to underwriters in an underwritten public offering, addressed to the underwriters, if any, and to the Holders requesting registration of Registrable Securities;
(e) Use its best efforts to register and qualify the securities covered by such registration statement under such other securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdiction as shall be reasonably requested by the Holders, provided that the Company shall not be required in connection therein or as a condition thereto to qualify to do business or to file a general consent to service of process in any such states or jurisdictions;
(f) 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 of such offering;
(g) Notify each Holder of Registrable Securities 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 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, such obligation to continue for ninety (90) days;
(h) 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; and
(i) 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.
3.6. Indemnification.
(a) The Company will indemnify each Holder, each of its officers, directors, partners and legal counsel, and each person controlling such Holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, with respect to which registration, qualification or compliance has been effected pursuant to this Section 3, and each underwriter, if any, and each person who controls any underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, against all expenses, claims, losses, damages or 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
9
contained in any 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, or any violation by the Company of the Securities Act or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act applicable to the Company in connection with any such registration, qualification or compliance, and the Company will reimburse each such Holder, each of its officers, directors, partners, and legal counsel and each person controlling such Holder, each such underwriter and each person who controls any such underwriter, for any legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating, preparing or defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action, provided that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such claim, loss, damage, liability or expense arises out of or is based on any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission, made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by an instrument duly executed by such Holder, controlling person or underwriter and stated to be specifically for use therein.
(b) Each Holder will, if Registrable Securities held by such Holder are included in the securities as to which such registration, qualification or compliance is being effected, indemnify the Company, each of its directors, officers, and legal counsel, each underwriter, if any, of the Companys securities covered by such a registration statement, each person who controls the Company or such underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, and each other Holder, each of its officers, directors, partners and legal counsel and each person controlling such Holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, against all claims, losses, damages and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) 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 omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse the Company, such Holders, such directors, officers, persons, underwriters or control persons for any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending any such claim, loss, 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 such Holder and stated to be specifically for use therein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the liability of each Holder under this subsection (b) shall be limited in an amount equal to the proceeds to each such Holder of Registrable Securities sold as contemplated herein, unless such liability resulted from willful misconduct by such Holder.
(c) Each party entitled to indemnification under this Section 3.6 (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, and shall permit the Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of any such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom, provided that counsel for the Indemnifying 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), and the
10
Indemnified Party may participate in such defense at such partys expense, and provided further that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Section 3 unless the failure to give such notice is materially prejudicial to an Indemnifying Partys ability to defend such action and provided further, that the Indemnifying Party shall not assume the defense for matters as to which there is a conflict of interest or separate and different defenses but shall bear the expense of such defense nevertheless. 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.
(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 3.6 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an Indemnified Party with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense referred to therein, then the Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party hereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party on the one hand and of the Indemnified Party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and of the Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Indemnifying Party or by the Indemnified Party and the parties relative intent, knowledge and access to information.
(e) The obligations of the Company and Holders under this Section 3.6 shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in a registration statement under this Section 3, and otherwise.
3.7. Information by Holder. The Holder or Holders of Registrable Securities included in any registration shall furnish to the Company such information regarding such Holder or Holders, the Registrable Securities held by them and the distribution proposed by such Holder or Holders as the Company may request in writing and as shall be required in connection with any registration, qualification or compliance referred to in this Section 3.
3.8. Rule 144 Reporting. With a view to making available the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the Commission which may at any time permit the sale of the Restricted Securities to the public without registration, after such time as a public market exists for the Common Stock of the Company, the Company agrees to use its best efforts 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 the effective date that the Company becomes subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Act or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended;
11
(b) File with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (at any time after it has become subject to such reporting requirements);
(c) So long as a Holder owns any Restricted Securities, furnish to such Holder forthwith upon request a written statement by the Company as to its compliance with the reporting requirements of said 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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (at any time after it has become subject to such reporting requirements), a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company, and such other reports and documents of the Company and other information in the possession of or reasonably obtainable by 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; and
(d) Take such actions as are necessary to enable the holders to utilize Form S-3 pursuant to Section 3.3 for the sale of Registrable Securities.
3.9. Transfer of Registration Rights. The rights to cause the Company to register securities granted Holders under Sections 3.1, 3.2 and 3.3 may be assigned by a Holder to (i) a transferee or assignee who acquires (or after such transfer will hold an aggregate of) all of a Holders shares of Registrable Securities, (ii) another Holder of Registrable Securities who already possesses registration rights, (iii) a transferee or assignee acquiring 10% or more of the outstanding stock of the Company, or (iv) an affiliated limited partnership, a limited partner, or general partner or other affiliates of a Holder, provided the Company is, within a reasonable time after such transfer, furnished with written notice of the name and address of such transferee or assignee and the securities with respect to which such registration rights are being assigned; and provided, further, that such assignment shall be effective only if immediately following such transfer the further disposition of such securities by the transferee or assignee is restricted under the Securities Act.

5. Investors Right of First Offer.
5.1. Right of First Offer Upon Issuances of Securities by the Company.
(a) The Company hereby grants, on the terms set forth in this Section 5.1, to each Investor who holds at least 100,000 shares of Registrable Securities (a Qualified Investor), the right of first offer to purchase all or any part of such holders pro rata share of the New Securities (as defined in Section 5.1(b)) which the Company may, from time to time after the date hereof, propose to sell and issue. The Qualified Investors may purchase said New Securities on the same terms and at the same price at which the Company proposes to sell the New Securities. The pro rata share of each Qualified Investor, for purposes of this right of first offer, is (except as set forth in Section 5.1(e) below) the ratio of the total number of shares of Registrable Securities held by such Qualified Investor, to the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of the New Securities (including any shares of Common Stock into which outstanding shares of Preferred Stock are convertible).
(b) New Securities shall mean any capital stock of the Company, whether now authorized or not, and any rights, options or warrants to purchase said capital stock, and securities of any type whatsoever that are, or may become, convertible into said capital stock; provided that New Securities does not include (i) the shares of stock purchased under the Purchase Agreement, (ii) the Conversion Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock, (iii) securities offered pursuant to a registration statement filed under the Securities Act, (iv) securities issued pursuant to the acquisition of another corporation by the Company by merger, purchase of substantially all of the assets or other reorganization, (v) all shares of
15
Common Stock or other securities hereafter issued or issuable to officers, directors, employees, scientific advisors or consultants of the Company pursuant to any employee or consultant stock offering, plan or arrangement approved by the Board of Directors of the Company, (vi) all shares of Common Stock or other securities hereafter issued in connection with or as consideration for acquisition or licensing of technology, or (vii) Securities issued to vendors, consultants, suppliers, lessors, or lenders to the Corporation pursuant to any agreement, plan, or arrangement approved by the unanimous consent of the Board of Directors.
(c) In the event the Company proposes to undertake an issuance of New Securities, it shall give to each such Qualified Investor written notice (the Notice) of its intention, describing the type of New Securities, the price, the terms upon which the Company proposes to issue the same, and a statement as to the number of days from receipt of such Notice within which the Investor must respond to such Notice. Each Qualified Investor shall have twenty (20) days from the date of receipt of the Notice to elect to purchase any or all of the 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. If not all of the Qualified Investors elect to purchase their pro rata share of the New Securities, then the Company shall promptly notify in writing the Qualified Investors who do so elect and shall offer such Investors the right to acquire such unsubscribed shares. The Qualified Investors shall have fifteen (15) days after receipt of such notice to notify the Company of its election to purchase all or a portion thereof of the unsubscribed shares.
(d) The right of first offer granted under this Section 5.1 shall expire upon the date which a registration statement filed by the Company under the Securities Act (other than a registration of securities in a Rule 145 transaction or with respect to an employee benefit plan) in connection with an underwritten public offering of its securities first becomes effective and the securities registered thereunder are sold.
(e) The right of first offer granted under this Section 5.1 is assignable by an Investor to any transferee of a minimum of 100,000 shares of Registrable Securities.
5.2. Company Sale Right. In the event the Qualified Investors fail to exercise in full the rights of first offer in Section Error! Reference source not found. within the prescribed periods, 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 thirty (30) days from date of said agreement) to sell the New Securities respecting which the Qualified Investors rights were not exercised, at a price and upon general terms no more favorable to the purchasers thereof than specified in the Notice. In the event the Company has not sold the New Securities within said ninety (90) day period (or sold and issued New Securities in accordance with the foregoing within thirty (30) days from the date of said agreement), the Company shall not thereafter issue or sell any New Securities without first offering such securities to the Qualified Investors in the manner provided above.
6. General Provisions.
6.1. Amendment and Waiver. Any term of this Rights Agreement may be amended and the observance of any term of this Agreement may be waived (either generally or
16
in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively), only with the written consent of the Company and the holders of sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66 2/3%) of the shares of the Registrable Securities, provided that the effect of such amendment is to treat all Investors equally. Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this Section 6.1 shall be binding upon each holder of any Registrable Securities at the time outstanding, each future holder of all such securities and the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, purchasers of shares of the Companys Series C-3 Preferred Stock under the Purchase Agreement or an addendum thereto after the date of the Purchase Agreement may be subsequently added as a party to this Agreement as an Investor and shall be bound by and entitled to the terms, benefits and conditions herein by the execution of this Agreement on a signature page to this Agreement.
6.2. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed under the laws of the State of Delaware.
6.3. Successors and Assigns. Except as otherwise expressly provided, the provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the successors, assigns, heirs, executors, and administrators of the parties. The Company shall not permit the transfer of any Registrable Securities on its books or issue a new certificate representing any of the Registrable Securities unless and until the person to whom such security is to be transferred shall have executed a written agreement, substantially in the form of this Agreement, pursuant to which such person becomes a party to this Agreement and agrees to be bound by all the provisions hereof as if such person were an Investor.
6.4. Severability. In case any provision of this Agreement becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect without said provision; provided, however, that no such severability shall be effective if it materially changes the economic benefit of this Agreement to any party.
6.5. Notices. All notices required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed effectively given: (i) upon personal delivery to the party to be notified, (ii) when sent by confirmed telex or facsimile if sent during normal business hours of the recipient; if not, then on the next business day, (iii) five (5) days after having been sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or (iv) one (1) day after deposit with a nationally recognized overnight courier, specifying next day delivery, with written verification of receipt. All communications shall be sent to the party to be notified at the address as set forth on the signature page hereof or at such other address as such party may designate by ten (10) days advance written notice to the other parties hereto.
6.6. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which is an original, and all of which together shall constitute one instrument.
