1.3 Closing. The closing of the purchase and sale of the Series F Preferred Stock under Section 1.2 hereof (the Closing) shall take place at the offices of Gunderson Dettmer Stough Villeneuve Franklin & Hachigian, LLP (Gunderson Dettmer), 850 Winter Street, Waltham, Massachusetts, at 10:00 a.m. local time on December 23, 2010, or at such other time and place as shall be agreed upon by the Company and the Investor (the Closing Date).

Nothing has come to the attention of the Company since the date of the Base Balance Sheet which would indicate that such financial statements were not true and representative of the Companys financial position as of the date thereof.

Except as set forth in Section 2.7 of the Disclosure Schedule, since the date of the Base Balance Sheet, there has been: (i) no change in the properties, assets, liabilities, business condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or results of operations of the Company except for changes in the ordinary course that, in the aggregate, have not been materially adverse; (ii) no declaration, setting aside or payment of any dividend or other distribution with respect to, or any direct or indirect redemption or acquisition of, any capital stock of the Company; (iii) no waiver of any valuable right of the Company or cancellation of any debt or claim held by the Company; (iv) no loan by the Company to any officer, director, employee or stockholder of the Company, or any agreement or commitment therefor; (v) no increase, direct or indirect, in the compensation paid or payable to any officer, director, employee, consultant, agent or stockholder of the Company (other than salary increases in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice which, individually or in the aggregate, are not material); (vi) no material loss, destruction or damage to any property of the
10
Company, whether or not insured; (vii) no change in the senior management or other key personnel of the Company or the terms and conditions of their employment; (viii) no acquisition or disposition of any material assets (or any contract or arrangement therefor) nor any other material transaction by the Company otherwise than for fair value in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice; or (ix) no any agreement or understanding, whether in writing or otherwise, for the Company to take any of the actions specified in clauses (i) through (viii).
2.8 Absence of Undisclosed Liabilities. The Company does not have any material liabilities or obligations, whether accrued, absolute, contingent or otherwise, asserted or unasserted (including, without limitation, liabilities as guarantor or otherwise with respect to obligations of others, or liabilities for Taxes due or then accrued or to become due, regardless of whether claims in respect thereof had been asserted as of such date), except liabilities or obligations (i) stated or adequately reserved against in the Base Balance Sheet, (ii) incurred since the date of the Base Balance Sheet in the ordinary course of business that in the aggregate are not material or (iii) disclosed in Section 2.8 of the Disclosure Schedule.
2.9 Accounts Payable. Except as set forth in Section 2.9 of the Disclosure Schedule, all accounts payable of the Company arose in bona fide arms length transactions in the ordinary course of business and no account payable is delinquent by more than sixty (60) days in its payment. Since the date of the Base Balance Sheet, the Company has paid its accounts payable in the ordinary course and in a manner which is consistent with its past practices. As of the date hereof, to the Companys knowledge, the Company has no account payable to any Person (other than accounts payable in the ordinary course of business which are not material in the aggregate) which is an Affiliate of the Company or any of its directors, officers, employees or stockholders, except as set forth in Section 2.9 of the Disclosure Schedule.
2.10 Accounts Receivable. All of the accounts receivable of the Company arose in bona fide arms length transactions in the ordinary course of business, are valid and enforceable claims, are not subject to any known set-off or counterclaim, and, to the Companys knowledge, are fully collectible in the normal course of business, after deducting the allowance for doubtful accounts stated in the Base Balance Sheet in accordance with GAAP. Except as set forth in Section 2.10 of the Disclosure Schedule, as of the date hereof, the Company does not have any accounts receivable from any Person which is known by the Company to be an Affiliate of the Company or any of its directors, officers, employees or stockholders.
2.11 Transactions with Affiliates. Except for their ongoing, regular employment relationships with the Company and as set forth in Section 2.11 of the Disclosure Schedule, there are no loans, leases, agreements, arrangements or other transactions or continuing transactions between the Company and any present or former stockholder, director, officer or employee of the Company, or any member of such officers, directors, employees or stockholders immediate family, or any Person controlled by such officer, director, employee or stockholder or his or her immediate family. Except as set forth in Section 2.11 of the Disclosure Schedule, to the Companys knowledge, no stockholder, director, officer or employee of the Company or any of their respective spouses or family members, owns directly or indirectly on an individual or joint basis any interest in, or serves as an officer or director or in another similar capacity of, any competitor, customer, distributor, vendor or supplier of the Company or any
11
organization which has a contract or arrangement with the Company, except for passive investments of less than 2% in publicly-traded companies.
2.12 Title to Properties. Section 2.12 of the Disclosure Schedule sets forth the addresses and uses of all real property that the Company owns, leases or subleases. The Company has good, valid and (if applicable) marketable title to all of its assets, free and clear of all Liens, restrictions or encumbrances, and none of such assets is subject to any mortgage, pledge, Lien or conditional sale agreement, except such encumbrances and Liens that arise in the ordinary course of business and do not have a Material Adverse Effect. Such assets constitute all property which is necessary to the business of the Company as currently conducted or as proposed to be conducted and all equipment included therein is in good condition and repair (ordinary wear and tear excepted) and all leases of real or personal property to which the Company is a party are fully effective and afford the Company peaceful possession of the subject matter of such leases and true and complete copies thereof have been delivered to the Investor or their counsel. To the Companys knowledge, the Company is not in violation of any zoning, building or safety ordinance, regulation or requirement or other law or regulation applicable to the operation of its owned or leased properties which violation would have a Material Adverse Effect, nor has it received any notice of such violation. There are no defaults by the Company or, to the Companys knowledge, by any other party which might curtail in any material respect the present use of the property of the Company. The performance by the Company of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby will not result in the termination of, or in any increase of any amounts payable under, any of its leases for real property or material leases for personal property or will require the consent or approval from any other party to such leases.
2.13 Tax Matters. The Company has timely and properly filed all federal, state, local and foreign tax returns required to be filed by it through the date hereof, which returns were true, correct and complete in all material respects and has paid or caused to be paid all Taxes required to be paid by it through the date hereof (whether or not shown on a tax return), except Taxes which are the subject of a good faith dispute for which adequate reserves have been established and are reflected on the Base Balance Sheet. All Taxes and other assessments and levies which the Company was or is required to withhold or collect have been timely withheld and collected and have been paid over to the proper governmental authorities. Except as set forth in Section 2.13 of the Disclosure Schedule, (i) the Company has never received written notice of any audit or of any proposed deficiencies from the Internal Revenue Service (the IRS) or any other taxing authority (other than routine audits undertaken in the ordinary course and which have been resolved on or prior to the date hereof); (ii) there are in effect no waivers of applicable statutes of limitations with respect to any Taxes owed by the Company for any year; (iii) neither the IRS nor any other taxing authority is now asserting, or to the Companys knowledge, threatening to assert against the Company any deficiency or claim for additional Taxes or interest thereon or penalties in connection therewith in respect of the income or sales of the Company; and (iv) the Company has never been a member of an affiliated group of corporations filing a combined federal income Tax return nor does the Company have any liability for Taxes of any other Person under Treasury Regulations §1.1502.6 (or any similar provision of foreign, state or local law) or otherwise.

6.2 Indemnification for Vicarious Liability.
(a) Without limitation of any other provision of this Agreement, the Company agrees to defend, indemnify and hold the Investor who may be deemed to control the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, their affiliates and their respective direct and indirect partners, members, stockholders, directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives (collectively, the Indemnified Parties and each individually, an Indemnified Party) harmless from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, obligations, liens, assessments, judgments, fines, liabilities and other costs and expenses, including, without limitation, interest, penalties and any investigation, legal and other
36
expenses incurred in connection with, and any amount paid in settlement of, any action, suit or proceeding or any claim asserted, as the same are actually incurred by the Indemnified Parties, of any kind or nature whatsoever (collectively Losses) which may be sustained or suffered by any such Indemnified Party, in their capacity as or as a result of any action taken or omitted to be taken by them as a director, stockholder, representative or controlling person of the Company, without regard to any investigation by any of the Indemnified Parties, based upon, arising out of, by reason of or otherwise in respect of or in connection with third party or governmental claims under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state statutory law or regulation, at common law or otherwise (Laws), including, without limitation, any third party or governmental claim alleging so-called control person liability or securities law liability; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable to the extent that such Loss arises from and is based on (A) an untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission in a registration statement or prospectus which is made in reliance on and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company in an instrument duly executed by or on behalf of such Indemnified Party specifically stating that it is for use in the preparation thereof, (B) a knowing and willful violation of any Law or Laws by an Indemnified Party, as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or (C) a fraudulent act or omission by the Indemnified Party as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.
(b) If the indemnification provided for in Section 6.2(a) above for any reason (other than for any reason specified in items (A), (B), and (C) of the proviso in Section 6.2(a)) is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an Indemnified Party in respect of any Losses referred to therein, then the Company, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such Losses (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Indemnified Parties, or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company and the Indemnified Parties in connection with the action or inaction which resulted in such Losses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. In connection with any registration of the Companys securities, the relative benefits received by the Company and the Indemnified Parties shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions that the net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Company and the Indemnified Parties, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover page of the applicable prospectus, bear to the aggregate public offering price of the securities so offered. The relative fault of the Company and the Indemnified Parties shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company and the Indemnified Parties and the parties relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.
Each of the Company and the Indemnified Parties agrees that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 6.2(b) were determined by pro rata or per capita allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. In connection with the registration of the Companys securities, in no event shall the Investor be required to contribute any amount under this Section 6.2(b) in excess of the lesser of (i) that proportion of
37
the total of such Losses indemnified against equal to the proportion of the total securities sold under such registration statement which is being sold by the Investor, or (ii) the proceeds received by the Investor from its sale of securities under such registration statement. No person found guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not found guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
(c) The indemnification and contribution provided for in this Section 6.2 will remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Parties or any officer, director, partner, member, employee, agent or controlling person of the Indemnified Parties. The provisions of this Section 6.2 are in addition to and shall supplement those set forth in any other agreement between the Company and the Indemnified Parties.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Company agrees to pay and hold the Investor harmless against liability for payment of all reasonable fees and disbursement of counsel in connection with the enforcement, amendment, modification or waiver of this Agreement and the agreements, documents and instruments contemplated and executed pursuant hereto.
6.3 Attorneys Fees.

8.7 Dispute Resolution.
(a) All disputes, claims, or controversies arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other agreement executed and delivered pursuant to this Agreement or the negotiation, validity or performance hereof and thereof or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby that are not resolved by mutual agreement shall be resolved solely and exclusively by binding arbitration to be conducted before the American Arbitration Association (AAA). If AAA ceases operations, then the parties shall select a comparable organization that provides qualified arbitration services. The arbitration shall be held in Boston, Massachusetts before a single arbitrator and shall be conducted in accordance with the rules and regulations promulgated by AAA unless specifically modified herein.
The parties covenant and agree that the arbitration hearing shall commence within ninety (90) days of the date on which a written demand for arbitration is filed by any party hereto. In connection with the arbitration proceeding, the arbitrator shall have the power to order the production of documents by each party and any third-party witnesses. In addition, each party may take up to three depositions as of right, and the arbitrator may in his or her discretion allow additional depositions upon good cause shown by the moving party. However, the arbitrator shall not have the power to order the answering of interrogatories or the response to requests for admission. In connection with any arbitration, each party shall provide to the other, no later than seven (7) business days before the date of the arbitration hearing, the identity of all persons that may testify at the arbitration and a copy of all documents that may be introduced at the arbitration hearing or considered or used by a partys witness or expert. The arbitrators decision and award shall be made and delivered within three (3) months of the selection of the arbitrator. The arbitrators decision shall set forth a reasoned basis for any finding of liability or award of damages. The arbitrator shall not have power to award damages in excess of actual
43
compensatory damages and shall not multiply actual damages or award punitive damages or any other damages that are specifically excluded under this Agreement, and each party hereby irrevocably waives any claim to such damages.
The parties covenant and agree that they will participate in the arbitration in good faith and that they will share equally its costs, except as otherwise provided herein. The arbitrator may in his or her discretion assess costs and expenses (including the reasonable legal fees and expenses of the prevailing party whether claimant or respondent) against any party to a proceeding. Any party failing or refusing to comply with an order of the arbitrators shall be liable for costs and expenses, including attorneys fees, incurred by the other party in enforcing the award. Nothing in this Section 8.7 shall prohibit any party from proceeding in court without prior arbitration for the limited purpose of seeking a temporary or permanent injunction to avoid immediate and irreparable harm. The provisions of this Section 8.7 shall be enforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction.
Unless otherwise ordered, the parties shall bear their own attorneys fees, costs and expenses in connection with the arbitration. The parties will share equally in the fees and expenses charged by AAA.
(b) Each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally consents to the exclusive use of AAA to resolve all disputes, claims or controversies arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other agreement executed and delivered pursuant to this Agreement or the negotiation, validity or performance hereof and thereof or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and further consents to the jurisdiction of the courts of the Massachusetts for the purposes of enforcing the arbitration provisions of Section 8.7(a) of this Agreement. Each party further irrevocably waives any objection to proceeding before AAA based upon lack of personal jurisdiction or to the laying of venue and further irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to make a claim in any court that arbitration before AAA has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Each of the parties hereto hereby consents to service of process by registered mail at the address to which notices are to be given. Each of the parties hereto agrees that its or his submission to jurisdiction and its or his consent to service of process by mail is made for the express benefit of the other parties hereto.
(c) Remedies; Severability. Notwithstanding Section 8.7, it is specifically understood and agreed that any breach of the provisions of this Agreement by any Person subject hereto will result in irreparable injury to the other parties hereto, that the remedy at law alone will be an inadequate remedy for such breach, and that, in addition to any other remedies which they may have, such other parties may enforce their respective rights by actions for specific performance (to the extent permitted by law). The Company may refuse to recognize any unauthorized transferee as one of its stockholders for any purpose, including, without limitation, for purposes of dividend and voting rights, until the relevant party or parties have complied with all applicable provisions of this Agreement, the Stockholders Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such a manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be deemed prohibited or invalid under such applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, and such
44
prohibition or invalidity shall not invalidate the remainder of such provision or the other provisions of this Agreement.
8.8 Assignment. Except as otherwise provided herein, the provisions hereof shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the successors and assigns, heirs, executors and administrators of the parties hereto; provided that, the Company may not assign its rights or obligations hereunder to any party without the written consent of the Investor. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other agreement referred to herein, an Investor may assign any of its rights under this Agreement to any Affiliate of such Investor. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, all representations, covenants and agreements benefiting the Investor shall inure to the benefit of any and all subsequent holders from time to time of the Series F Preferred Stock or Conversion Shares.
8.9 Expenses. Within five (5) days following the Closing, the Company shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of Bingham McCutchen LLP, counsel for the Investor in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, in an amount not to exceed, in the aggregate, $15,000.

So long as any shares of Series F Preferred Stock are outstanding and the Series F Preferred Dividends have not been paid in full in cash, (a) no dividend whatsoever (other than stock dividends) shall be paid or declared, and no distribution shall be made on any shares of the Junior Preferred Stock or the Junior Stock; and (b) except as provided in Section A.8(g)(iv), no shares of Common Stock or other shares of Junior Stock shall be repurchased, redeemed or acquired by the Corporation and no monies shall be paid into or set aside or made available for a sinking fund for the purchase, redemption or acquisition thereof. So long as any shares of Junior Preferred Stock are outstanding and the Junior Preferred Dividends have not been paid in full in cash, (a) no dividend whatsoever (other than stock dividends) shall be paid or declared, and no distribution shall be made on any shares of the Junior Stock; and (b) except as provided in Section A.8(g)(iv), no shares of Common Stock or other shares of Junior Stock shall be repurchased, redeemed or acquired by the Corporation and no monies shall be paid into or set aside or made available for a sinking fund for the purchase, redemption or acquisition thereof.
52
In addition to the Preferred Dividends, the holders of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, together with the Series 1 Stock, out of funds legally available therefor, any dividends declared on the Common Stock (treating each share of Preferred Stock or Series 1 Stock as being equal to the number of shares of Common Stock into which each such share of Preferred Stock or Series 1 Stock would be converted if it were converted pursuant to the provisions of Section A.6 hereof with such number determined as of the record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive such dividends).
All numbers relating to the calculation of dividends pursuant to this Section A.3 shall be subject to equitable adjustment in the event of any stock split, combination, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification or other similar event involving a change in the Series A Preferred Stock, the Series B Preferred Stock, the Series C Preferred Stock, the Series D Preferred Stock, the Series E Preferred Stock, the Series F Preferred Stock or the Series 1 Stock.
4. Liquidation and Extraordinary Transactions.
(a) Liquidation Preference. Unless waived by the vote or written consent of the holders of at least (I) a majority of the outstanding shares of each of the Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock, Series D Preferred Stock and Series E Preferred Stock and (II) at least sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66 2/3%) of Series F Preferred Stock (voting separately as a separate class and on an as-converted basis), upon a Liquidation Event (as defined below) or an Extraordinary Transaction (as defined below), the holders of outstanding shares of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to stockholders, whether such assets are capital, surplus or earnings, as follows:

(ii) Following payment of the Series F Liquidation Amount, each holder of outstanding shares of Junior Preferred Stock shall be entitled to be paid, before any amount shall be paid or distributed to the holders of Junior Stock, an amount in cash equal to: (A) $0.4464 per share with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock (adjusted appropriately for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations and the like with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock), $0.6524 per share with respect to the Series B Preferred Stock (adjusted appropriately for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations and the like with respect to the Series B Preferred Stock), $0.8500 per share with respect to the Series C Preferred Stock (adjusted appropriately for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations and the like with respect to the Series C Preferred Stock), $2.4318 per share with respect to the Series D Preferred Stock (adjusted

(iii) Upon the completion of the distributions required by Section A.4(a)(i) and Section A.4(a)(ii) above, any remaining assets available for distribution to stockholders shall be distributed among the holders of Preferred Stock, Series 1 Stock and Common Stock pro rata based on the number of shares of Common Stock held by each (assuming full conversion of all such Preferred Stock and Series 1 Stock) (the Residual Liquidation Amount and, together with the Junior Preferred Liquidation Amount and the Series F Liquidation Amount, the Total Liquidation Amount) until, with respect to each series of Preferred Stock, such holders shall have received the applicable Participation Cap (as defined below), including amounts paid pursuant to Section A.4(a)(i)(A) with respect to the Series F Preferred Stock and Section A.4(a)(ii)(A) with respect to the Junior Preferred Stock but excluding amounts paid pursuant to Section A.4(a)(i)(B) with respect to the Series F Preferred Stock and Section A.4(a)(ii)(B) with respect to the Junior Preferred Stock; thereafter, if assets remain for distribution, the holders of the Series 1 Stock and Common Stock of this corporation shall receive all of the remaining assets pro rata based on the number of shares of Common Stock held by each (assuming full conversion of all such Series 1 Stock). For purposes of this Ninth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, Participation Cap shall mean $1.3392 for the Series A Preferred Stock, $1.9572 for the Series B Preferred Stock, $1.7000 for the Series C Preferred Stock, $6.0795 for the Series D Preferred Stock, $6.3985 for the Series E Preferred Stock and $6.80 for the Series F Preferred Stock (each as adjusted for any stock splits, stock dividends, combinations, recapitalizations or the like with respect to such series of Preferred Stock).

54
of any purchase of shares of capital stock of the Corporation (either through a negotiated stock purchase or a tender for such shares) by any party or group that did not beneficially own a majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation immediately prior to such purchase, the effect of which is that such party or group beneficially owns at least a majority of such voting power immediately after such purchase, or (z) the redemption or repurchase of shares (other than the Preferred Stock as provided in this Certificate of Incorporation), the effect of which is that any party or group that did not beneficially own a majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation immediately prior to such redemption or repurchase beneficially owns a majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation after such redemption or repurchase.
(b) Deemed Conversion of Preferred Stock. Notwithstanding the above, for purposes of determining the amount each holder of shares of Preferred Stock is entitled to receive with respect to a Liquidation Event or an Extraordinary Transaction, each such holder of shares of a series of Preferred Stock shall be deemed to have converted (regardless of whether such holder actually converted) such holders shares of such series into shares of Common Stock immediately prior to the Liquidation Event or Extraordinary Transaction if, as a result of an actual conversion, such holder would receive, in the aggregate, an amount greater than the amount that would be distributed to such holder if such holder did not convert such series of Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock. If any such holder shall be deemed to have converted shares of Preferred Stock into Common Stock pursuant to this paragraph, then such holder shall not be entitled to receive any distribution that would otherwise be made to holders of Preferred Stock that have not converted (or have not been deemed to have converted) into shares of Common Stock.
(c) Conversion Rights Not Impaired. Nothing in this Section A.4 shall, with respect to any Liquidation Event or Extraordinary Transaction, in any way limit the right of the holders of the Preferred Stock to elect to have the provisions of Section A.6 govern such Liquidation Event or Extraordinary Transaction.
(d) Non-Cash Consideration. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section A.4(a), in connection with any Extraordinary Transaction, (i) the aggregate Residual Liquidation Amount payable to the holders of the Preferred Stock shall be paid by the Corporation in cash to the extent that cash is paid in such Extraordinary Transaction and then (or alternatively if no cash payments are involved, as applicable), in such other consideration (valued as provided below) as is delivered in such Extraordinary Transaction, and (ii) the aggregate Residual Liquidation Amount payable to the holders of the Preferred Stock shall be paid by the Corporation in the same combination of cash and other consideration as is paid to the holders of the Common Stock and Series 1 Stock in accordance with Section A.4(a)(iii).
Any securities or other consideration to be delivered to the holders of the Preferred Stock upon any Liquidation Event or Extraordinary Transaction shall be valued as follows: (i) if traded on a nationally recognized securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system, the value shall be deemed to be the average of the closing prices of the securities on such exchange or system over the twenty-one (21) trading days (or all such trading days on which such securities have been traded if fewer than twenty-one (21) days) preceding the
55
consummation of such Liquidation Event or Extraordinary Transaction; and (ii) if not so traded, the value shall be the fair market value thereof, as reasonably determined in good faith by resolution of the Board of Directors of the Corporation.
(e) Surrender of Certificates. On the effective date of any Extraordinary Transaction, the Corporation shall pay all cash and other consideration to which the holders of Preferred Stock shall be entitled under this Section A.4. Upon receipt of such payment, each holder of shares of Preferred Stock shall surrender the certificate or certificates representing such shares, duly assigned or endorsed for transfer to the Corporation (or accompanied by duly executed stock powers relating thereto), at the principal executive office of the Corporation or the offices of the transfer agent for the Corporation, or shall notify the Corporation or any transfer agent that such certificates have been lost, stolen or destroyed and shall execute an affidavit or agreement reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation to indemnify the Corporation from any loss incurred by it in connection therewith (an Affidavit of Loss), and each surrendered certificate shall be canceled and retired.
(f) Notice. Prior to the occurrence of any Liquidation Event or Extraordinary Transaction, the Corporation will furnish each (a) holder of Preferred Stock and (b) holder of at least two percent (2%) of the then outstanding shares of Series 1 Stock notice in accordance with Section A.9 hereof, together with a certificate prepared by the chief financial officer of the Corporation describing the facts of such Liquidation Event or Extraordinary Transaction, stating in reasonable detail the amount(s) per share of Preferred Stock that each holder of Preferred Stock would receive pursuant to the provisions of Section A.4(a) hereof and stating in reasonable detail the facts upon which such amount was determined and, in connection with any Extraordinary Transaction, describing in reasonable detail all material terms of such Extraordinary Transaction, including, without limitation, the consideration to be delivered in connection with such Extraordinary Transaction, the valuation of the Corporation at the time such Extraordinary Transaction and the identities of the parties to the Extraordinary Transaction.
5. Redemption.
(a) Redemption. On or after December 31, 2010, at the election of the holders of sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66 2/3%) of the then outstanding shares of Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall redeem the shares of Preferred Stock held by such holders at the applicable Redemption Price (as defined below), the foregoing election shall be made by such holders giving the Corporation not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice, which notice shall set forth the date for such redemption (each a Redemption Date). Within ten (10) days after receipt of such notice, the Corporation shall provide written notice to all other holders of Preferred Stock notifying all such holders of such request for redemption. Notwithstanding the foregoing, holders of sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66 2/3%) of the then outstanding shares of Preferred Stock not subject to the redemption specified in any notice given pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 5(a) may thereafter require the Corporation to also redeem such Preferred Stock at such Redemption Date upon written notice to the Corporation within ten (10) days of receipt of such original notice from the Corporation. On each Redemption Date, the Corporation shall redeem, on a pari passu basis, (A) all shares of Series F Preferred Stock for a per share redemption price equal to the greater of (i) the Series F Liquidation Amount or (ii) the amount received if each share of Series F Preferred Stock was converted into Common Stock
56
and such Common Stock was redeemed at its Going Concern Value (as defined in Section 5(c) hereof)) (the Series F Redemption Price) and (B) all shares of Junior Preferred Stock for a per share redemption price equal to the greater of (i) the applicable Junior Preferred Liquidation Amount or (ii) the amount received if each share of Junior Preferred Stock was converted into Common Stock and such Common Stock was redeemed at its Going Concern Value (as defined in Section 5(c) hereof) (the applicable Junior Preferred Redemption Price, together with the Series F Redemption Price, the Redemption Price). On such Redemption Date, each holder of shares of Preferred Stock shall surrender the certificate evidencing such shares to the Corporation and shall thereupon be entitled to receive payment of, as applicable, the Series F Redemption Price or the applicable Junior Preferred Redemption Price. From and after such Redemption Date, unless there shall have been a default in payment or tender by the Corporation of the aggregate Redemption Price, all dividends on the Preferred Stock shall cease to accrue, all rights of the holders with respect to such redeemed shares of Preferred Stock (except the right to receive the Series F Redemption Price or the applicable Junior Preferred Redemption Price, as applicable, upon surrender of their certificate) shall cease and such shares shall not thereafter be transferred on the books of this Corporation or be deemed outstanding for any purposes whatsoever.
(b) Insufficient Funds. If the funds of the Corporation legally available for redemption of shares of Preferred Stock on a Redemption Date are insufficient to redeem all shares of Preferred Stock to be redeemed on such Redemption Date, the Corporation shall use those funds which are legally available to redeem the maximum possible number of such shares ratably among the holders of such shares to be redeemed based upon the relative aggregate amounts to which such holders are entitled in connection with such redemption, all such redeemed shares to be cancelled in accordance with the foregoing. At any time thereafter when additional funds of the Corporation are legally available for the redemption of shares of Preferred Stock, such funds will immediately be used to redeem the balance of the shares which the Corporation has become obligated to redeem on the Redemption Date but which it has not redeemed at the Series F Redemption Price or the applicable Junior Preferred Redemption Price, as applicable, together with any accrued interest thereon as provided below. If any shares of Preferred Stock are not redeemed for the foregoing reason or because the Corporation otherwise failed to pay or tender to pay the aggregate applicable Redemption Price on all outstanding shares of Preferred Stock to be redeemed, all such shares which have not been redeemed shall remain outstanding and entitled to all the rights and preferences provided herein, and the Corporation, after the final and binding determination in subsection (e) below, shall pay interest on the Series F Redemption Price or the applicable Junior Preferred Redemption Price, as applicable, for the unredeemed portion at an aggregate per annum rate equal to twelve percent (12%), which rate shall increase every twelve (12) months thereafter by an additional one percent (1%) per annum to a maximum of twenty percent (20%) per annum or the maximum rate of interest permitted under applicable law, whichever is less.
(c) Going Concern Value. For purposes of Section A.5(a) hereof, Going Concern Value shall mean the value of a share of Common Stock determined: (i) as though all outstanding securities which are then convertible into, exercisable for or exchangeable into shares of Common Stock of the Corporation (including, without limitation, vested options and warrants) had been converted into, exercised for or exchanged into Common Stock of the Corporation and any amounts payable upon such conversion, exercise or exchange was paid to
57
the Corporation in connection therewith; (ii) without any reduction in value for lack of control or the inherent lack of liquidity of minority interests; (iii) giving full effect to the earnings history and prospects of the Corporation; and (iv) on a basis which values each share of Common Stock at the same per share price. In order to determine the Going Concern Value, the Board of Directors of the Corporation and the holder or holders of Preferred Stock electing to redeem shares of Preferred Stock shall meet and use their reasonable best efforts to reach a fair agreement on the Going Concern Value. If such parties are unable to reach such agreement within a reasonable amount of time, the Board of Directors shall select an independent appraiser or investment banking firm of national standing within thirty (30) days after giving of notice that requires a determination of Going Concern Value. Such appraiser or investment banking firm will have thirty (30) days in which to determine the Going Concern Value and its determination will be final and binding on all parties concerned. All costs of such determination shall be borne by the Corporation.
6. Conversion. The holders of the Preferred Stock and Series 1 Stock shall have the following conversion rights:
(a) Voluntary Conversion. Each holder of shares of Preferred Stock may elect at any time to convert all or a portion of the shares of Preferred Stock then held by such holder into a number of shares of Common Stock computed by multiplying (X) the number of shares of Preferred Stock to be converted by (Y) the quotient obtained by dividing the applicable Conversion Value by the applicable Conversion Price then in effect. Each holder of shares of Series 1 Stock may elect at any time to convert all or a portion of the shares of Series 1 Stock then held by such holder into a number of shares of Common Stock computed by multiplying (X) the number of shares of Series 1 Stock to be converted by (Y) the quotient obtained by dividing the applicable Conversion Value by the applicable Conversion Price then in effect. The Conversion Value of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be $0.4464 per share, the Conversion Value of the Series B Preferred Stock shall be $0.6524 per share, the Conversion Value of the Series C Preferred Stock shall be $0.8500 per share, the Conversion Value of the Series D Preferred Stock shall be $2.4318 per share, the Conversion Value of the Series E Preferred Stock shall be $2.5594 per share and the Conversion Value of the Series F Preferred Stock shall be $2.72 per share. The Conversion Price for the Series A Preferred Stock shall initially be $0.4464 per share, the Conversion Price of the Series B Preferred Stock shall initially be $0.6524 per share, the Conversion Price of the Series C Preferred Stock shall initially be $0.8500 per share, the Conversion Price of the Series D Preferred Stock shall initially be $2.4318 per share, the Conversion Price of the Series E Preferred Stock shall initially be $2.5594 per share and the Conversion Price of the Series F Preferred Stock shall initially be $2.72 per share. The Conversion Value of the Series 1 Stock shall be $1.9199 per share. The Conversion Price of the Series 1 Stock shall initially be $1.9199 per share. Additionally, (i) each shares of Series F Preferred Stock outstanding shall automatically be converted into the number of shares of Common Stock into which such shares are convertible according to the formula above at the then effective Conversion Price upon the date specified by the holders of not less than sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66 2/3%) of the shares of such Series F Preferred Stock then outstanding and (ii) each share of a series of Junior Preferred Stock and each share of Series 1 Stock outstanding shall automatically be converted into the number of shares of Common Stock into which such shares are convertible according to the formula set forth above at the then effective Conversion Price upon the date specified by the holders of not less than a
58
majority of the shares of such series of Junior Preferred Stock or Series 1 Stock, respectively, then outstanding. If shares of Preferred Stock or Series 1 Stock are converted pursuant to this Section A.6(a) at a time when there are any declared and unpaid dividends or other amounts due on or in respect of such shares, other than the Preferred Dividends, such dividends and other amounts shall be paid in full by the Corporation in connection with such conversion before any amounts shall be paid or distributed to the holders of Junior Stock.
(b) Automatic Conversion Upon Qualified Public Offering. Each share of Preferred Stock and Series 1 Stock outstanding shall automatically be converted into the number of shares of Common Stock into which such shares are convertible as computed according to the formula set forth in Section A.6(a) hereof at the then effective applicable Conversion Price as of, and in all cases subject to, the closing of the Corporations first firm commitment underwritten offering to the public pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act), provided that (i) such registration statement covers the offer and sale of Common Stock of which the aggregate net proceeds attributable to sales for the account of the Corporation exceed $55,000,000, (ii) such Common Stock is listed for trading on either the New York Stock Exchange, the NASDAQ Global Market or the NASDAQ Global Select Market and (iii) the per share public offering price (net of underwriter discounts and commissions) exceeds $4.8636 per share (adjusted appropriately for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations and the like) (a QPO or a Qualified Public Offering); provided, that if a closing of a QPO occurs, all outstanding shares of Preferred Stock and Series 1 Stock shall be deemed to have been converted into shares of Common Stock immediately prior to such closing. If the holders of shares of Preferred Stock or Series 1 Stock are required to convert the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock or Series 1 Stock pursuant to this Section A.6(b) at a time when there are any accumulated but unpaid dividends or other amounts due on or in respect of such shares, other than Preferred Dividends, such dividends and other amounts shall be paid in full in cash by the Corporation in connection with such conversion before any amounts shall be paid or distributed to the holders of Junior Stock.
(c) Procedure for Voluntary Conversion. Upon election to convert pursuant to Section A.6(a), the relevant holder or holders of Preferred Stock or Series 1 Stock shall surrender the certificate or certificates representing the Preferred Stock and Series 1 Stock being converted, duly assigned or endorsed for transfer to the Corporation (or accompanied by duly executed stock powers relating thereto), at the principal executive office of the Corporation or the offices of the transfer agent for the Preferred Stock and Series 1 Stock or such office or offices in the continental United States of an agent for conversion as may from time to time be designated by notice to the holders of the Preferred Stock and Series 1 Stock by the Corporation, or in the event the certificate or certificates are lost, stolen or missing, shall deliver an Affidavit of Loss with respect to such certificates. The issuance by the Corporation of Common Stock upon a conversion of Preferred Stock or Series 1 Stock upon election to convert pursuant to Section A.6(a) hereof shall be effective as of the surrender of the certificate or certificates for the Preferred Stock or Series 1 Stock, as the case may be, to be converted, duly assigned or endorsed for transfer to the Corporation (or accompanied by duly executed stock powers relating thereto), or as of the delivery of an Affidavit of Loss. Upon surrender of a certificate representing Preferred Stock or Series 1 Stock for conversion or delivery of an Affidavit of Loss, the Corporation shall issue and send by hand delivery, by courier, by first class mail (postage prepaid) or, in the case of overseas holders, by reputable two day air courier, the holder thereof
59
or to such holders designee, at the address designated by such holder, certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock to which such holders shall be entitled upon conversion, plus a cash payment in the amount of any accrued but unpaid dividends, other than the Preferred Dividends, and other amounts as contemplated by this Section A.6 in respect of the shares of Preferred Stock which are converted. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a voluntary conversion of all of the outstanding shares of a series of Preferred Stock and Series 1 Stock pursuant to Section A.6(a) upon the election of the holders of not less than a majority of such series of Preferred Stock or Series 1 Stock, respectively, the outstanding shares of such series of Preferred Stock and Series 1 Stock shall be converted automatically without any further action by the holders of such shares and whether or not the certificates representing such shares are surrendered to the Corporation or its transfer agent and all rights with respect to such applicable series of Preferred Stock and Series 1 Stock shall terminate, except any of the rights of the holders thereof upon surrender of their certificate or certificates therefore or delivery of an Affidavit of Loss thereof to receive certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock into which such shares of Preferred Stock and Series 1 Stock have been converted plus all declared but unpaid dividends, other than the Preferred Dividends, and other amounts as contemplated by this Section A.6 in respect of the shares of such series of Preferred Stock or Series 1 Stock which are converted. The issuance of certificates for Common Stock upon conversion of Preferred Stock and Series 1 Stock will be made without charge to the holders of such shares for any issuance tax in respect thereof or other costs incurred by the Corporation in connection with such conversion and the related issuance of such stock.
(d) Procedure for Automatic Conversion on Qualified Public Offering. As of, and in all cases subject to, the closing of a Qualified Public Offering (the Automatic Conversion Date), all outstanding shares of Preferred Stock and Series 1 Stock shall be converted automatically into shares of Common Stock as set forth in Section A.6(b) hereof and without any further action by the holders of such shares and whether or not the certificates representing such shares of Preferred Stock and Series 1 Stock are surrendered to the Corporation or its transfer agent. On the Automatic Conversion Date, all rights with respect to the Preferred Stock and Series 1 Stock so converted shall terminate, except any of the rights of the holders thereof upon surrender of their certificate or certificates therefor or delivery of an Affidavit of Loss thereof to receive certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock into which such Preferred Stock or Series 1 Stock has been converted plus all accrued but unpaid dividends, other than the Preferred Dividends, and other amounts as contemplated by Section A.6(b). If so required by the Corporation, certificates surrendered for conversion shall be endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Corporation, duly executed by the registered holder or by his, her or its attorney duly authorized in writing. Upon surrender of such certificates or Affidavit of Loss, the Corporation shall issue and deliver to such holder, promptly at such office and in its name as shown on such surrendered certificate or certificates, a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock into which the shares of Preferred Stock and Series 1 Stock surrendered are convertible on the Automatic Conversion Date and shall pay all declared but unpaid dividends, other than the Preferred Dividends, and other amounts as contemplated by Section A.6(b) in respect of the shares of Preferred Stock or Series 1 Stock which are converted.
(e) Fractional Shares. The Corporation shall not be obligated to deliver to holders of Preferred Stock or Series 1 Stock any fractional shares of Common Stock issuable upon any conversion of such Preferred Stock or Series 1 Stock, but in lieu thereof may make a cash payment in respect thereof in any manner permitted by law.
60
(f) Reservation of Stock Issuable Upon Conversion. The Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the shares of Preferred Stock and Series 1 Stock such number of its shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding shares of Preferred Stock and Series 1 Stock; and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all then outstanding shares of Preferred Stock and Series 1 Stock, the Corporation will take such corporate action as may be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purpose.
(g) No Closing of Transfer Books. The Corporation shall not close its books against the transfer of shares of Preferred Stock or Series 1 Stock in any manner which would interfere with the timely conversion of any shares of Preferred Stock or Series 1 Stock.
7. Adjustments. The Conversion Price in effect from time to time for each of the Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock, Series D Preferred Stock, Series E Preferred Stock, Series F Preferred Stock and Series 1 Stock shall be subject to adjustment from time to time after the date hereof as follows:
(a) Dividends and Stock Splits. If the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any time after the date hereof is increased by a stock dividend payable in shares of Common Stock or by a subdivision or split-up of shares of Common Stock, then on the date such payment is made or such change is effective, each applicable Conversion Price shall be appropriately decreased so that the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on conversion of any shares of Preferred Stock or Series 1 Stock shall be increased in proportion to such increase of outstanding shares of Common Stock.
(b) Reverse Stock Splits. If the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any time after the date hereof is decreased by a combination or reverse split of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, then on the effective date of such combination or reverse split, each applicable Conversion Price shall be appropriately increased so that the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on conversion of any shares of Preferred Stock or Series 1 Stock, shall be decreased in proportion to such decrease in outstanding shares of Common Stock.
(c) Sale of Common Stock. In the event the Corporation shall at any time, or from time to time, issue, sell or exchange any shares of Common Stock (including shares held in the Corporations treasury but excluding (i) up to 14,874,811 shares of Common Stock and up to 325,000 shares of Series 1 Stock (as appropriately adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations and the like), or options to purchase such Common Stock or Series 1 Stock, to its officers, directors, employees and consultants pursuant to stock and options plans approved by a majority of the Board of Directors, (ii) Common Stock upon conversion of the Preferred Stock or Series 1 Stock, (iii) securities as a result of any stock split, stock dividend or other distribution shares of Common Stock that is covered by Sections A.7(a) and (b) hereof, (iv)
61
securities upon conversion or exercise of convertible or exercisable securities previously issued in compliance with this Section A.7(c) or outstanding on the date of filing of this Ninth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, (v) securities issued or issuable pursuant to any loan arrangement or debt financing from a bank or similar financial institution approved by a majority of the Board of Directors and (vi) securities in connection with strategic transactions involving the Company and other entities, including joint venture, marketing or distribution arrangements or technology transfer or development arrangements, provided that such strategic transactions and the issuance of securities in connection therewith have been approved by a majority of the Board of Directors (but excluding any merger, consolidation, acquisition or similar business combination) (the securities referred to in clauses (i) through (vi) shall collectively be referred to as the Excluded Shares) for a consideration per share (the Purchase Price) less than the applicable Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the issuance, sale or exchange of such shares (any such issuance, sale or exchange is hereafter referred to as a Dilutive Transaction), then and thereafter successively upon each such Dilutive Transaction the applicable Conversion Price shall forthwith be reduced to an amount determined by multiplying the applicable Conversion Price by a fraction:
(i) the numerator of which shall be (X) the number of shares of Common Stock of all classes outstanding immediately prior to the Dilutive Transaction (excluding treasury shares but including all shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exercise of any outstanding shares of Preferred Stock or Series 1 Stock, options, warrants, rights or other convertible securities) plus (Y) the number of shares of Common Stock which the net aggregate consideration received by the Corporation for such additional shares of Common Stock so issued in the Dilutive Transaction would purchase at the applicable Conversion Price (prior to such adjustment); and
(ii) the denominator of which shall be (X) the number of shares of Common Stock of all classes outstanding immediately prior to the Dilutive Transaction (excluding treasury shares but including all shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exercise of any outstanding shares of Preferred Stock or Series 1 Stock, options, warrants, rights or other convertible securities), plus (Y) the number of such additional shares of Common Stock so issued in the Dilutive Transaction.
(d) Sale of Options, Rights or Convertible Securities. In the event the Corporation shall at any time or from time to time, issue options, warrants or rights to subscribe for shares of Common Stock, or issue any securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock (other than any options or warrants for Excluded Shares), for a purchase price (determined by dividing the Net Aggregate Consideration (as determined below) by the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that would be issued if all such options, warrants, rights or other convertible securities were exercised or converted to the fullest extent permitted by their terms) less than the applicable Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the issuance of such options, warrants or rights or other convertible or exchangeable securities, the applicable Conversion Price shall forthwith be reduced to an amount determined by multiplying the applicable Conversion Price by a fraction:
(i) the numerator of which shall be (X) the number of shares of Common Stock of all classes outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of such options, warrants, rights or other convertible securities (excluding treasury shares but including all shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exercise of any outstanding shares of Preferred Stock or Series 1 Stock, options, warrants, rights or other convertible securities), plus (Y) the number of shares of Common Stock which the total amount of consideration received by the Corporation for the issuance of such options, warrants, rights or convertible securities plus the minimum amount set forth in the terms of such security as payable to the Corporation upon the exercise or conversion thereof (the Net Aggregate Consideration) would purchase at the applicable Conversion Price prior to adjustment; and

(ii) the denominator of which shall be (X) the number of shares of Common Stock of all classes outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of such options, warrants, rights or other convertible securities (excluding treasury shares but including all shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exercise of any outstanding shares of Preferred Stock or Series 1 Stock, options, warrants, rights or other convertible securities), plus (Y) the maximum aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that would be issued if all such options, warrants, rights or other convertible securities were exercised or converted.
(e) Expiration or Change in Price. If the consideration per share provided for in any options, warrants, convertible securities or any other rights to subscribe for shares of Common Stock or any securities exchangeable for or convertible into shares of Common Stock, changes at any time, the applicable Conversion Price in effect at the time of such change shall be readjusted to the applicable Conversion Price which would have been in effect at such time had such options, warrants, convertible securities or other rights provided for such changed consideration per share (determined as provided in Section A.7(d) hereof), at the time initially granted, issued or sold; provided, that such adjustment of the applicable Conversion Price will be made only as and to the extent that such applicable Conversion Price effective upon such adjustment remains less than or equal to such Conversion Price that would be in effect if such options, warrants, rights or securities had not been issued. No adjustment of a Conversion Price shall be made under this Section A.7 upon the issuance of any additional shares of Common Stock which are issued pursuant to the exercise of any warrants, options or other subscription or purchase rights or pursuant to the exercise of any conversion or exchange rights in any convertible securities if an adjustment shall previously have been made upon the issuance of such warrants, options or other rights. Any adjustment of a Conversion Price shall be disregarded if, as and when the rights to acquire shares of Common Stock upon exercise or conversion of the warrants, options, rights or convertible securities which gave rise to such adjustment expire or are canceled without having been exercised, so that the Conversion Price effective immediately upon such cancellation or expiration shall be equal to the Conversion Price in effect at the time of the issuance of the expired or canceled warrants, options, rights or convertible securities, with such additional adjustments as would have been made to the Conversion Price had the expired or canceled warrants, options, rights or convertible securities not been issued.
63
(f) Other Adjustments. In the event the Corporation shall make or issue, or fix a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable in securities of the Corporation other than shares of Common Stock, then and in each such event lawful and adequate provision shall be made so that the holders of Preferred Stock or Series 1 Stock shall receive upon conversion thereof, in addition to the number of shares of Common Stock receivable thereupon, the number of securities of the Corporation which they would have received had their Preferred Stock or Series 1 Stock been converted into Common Stock on the date of such event and had they thereafter, during the period from the date of such event to and including the date of conversion, retained such securities receivable by them as aforesaid during such period, giving application to all adjustments called for during such period under this Section A.7 as applied to such distributed securities.
(g) Reorganization, etc. If the Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Preferred Stock and Series 1 Stock shall be changed into the same or different number of shares of any class or classes of stock, whether by reclassification or otherwise (other than a subdivision or combination of shares or stock dividend provided for above, or a reorganization, merger, consolidation or sale of assets provided for elsewhere in this Section A.7), then and in each such event the holder of each share of Preferred Stock or Series 1 Stock shall have the right to receive upon conversion of the Preferred Stock or Series 1 Stock, the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property receivable upon such reorganization, reclassification or other change based upon the number of shares of Common Stock into which such shares of Preferred Stock and Series 1 Stock would have been converted immediately prior to such reorganization, reclassification or change, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein.
(h) Mergers and Other Reorganizations. If at any time or from time to time there shall be a capital reorganization of the Common Stock (other than a subdivision, combination or reclassification provided for elsewhere in this Section A.7) or a merger or consolidation of the Corporation with or into another Corporation or the sale of all or substantially all of the Corporations properties and assets to any other person, then as part of and as a condition to the effectiveness of such reorganization, merger, consolidation or sale, lawful and adequate provision shall be made so that the holders of the Preferred Stock or Series 1 Stock, shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon conversion of each share of Preferred Stock or Series 1 Stock the number of shares of stock or other securities or property of the Corporation or of the successor corporation resulting from such merger or consolidation or sale, to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon conversion of a share of Preferred Stock or Series 1 Stock immediately prior to such capital reorganization, merger, consolidation or sale would have been entitled on such capital reorganization, merger, consolidation, or sale. In any such case, appropriate provisions shall be made with respect to the rights of the holders of the Preferred Stock or Series 1 Stock after the reorganization, merger, consolidation or sale to the end that the provisions of this Section A.7 (including, without limitation, provisions for adjustment of the applicable Conversion Price and the number of shares purchasable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock and Series 1 Stock) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as may be, with respect to any shares of stock, securities or assets to be deliverable thereafter upon the conversion of the Preferred Stock and Series 1 Stock.
64
Each holder of Preferred Stock or Series 1 Stock upon the occurrence of a capital reorganization, merger or consolidation of the Corporation or the sale of all or substantially all of its assets and properties and such events are more fully set forth on the first paragraph of this Section A.7(h), shall have the option of electing treatment of its shares of Preferred Stock or Series 1 Stock under either this Section A.7(h) or Section A.4 hereof which notice shall be submitted in writing no later than five (5) business days before the effective date of such event.
(i) Calculations. All calculations under this Section A.7 shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one hundredth (1/100) of a share, as the case may be.

Based upon and subject to the foregoing and except as set forth in the Stock Purchase Agreement or the Disclosure Schedule thereto, we are of the opinion that:
(a) The Company is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, and has all corporate power and authority necessary to own its properties and to conduct its business as, to our knowledge, it is presently conducted. The Company is qualified to do business as a foreign corporation in the Commonwealths of Massachusetts and Virginia and in the States of California, Illinois, Minnesota, New York, North Carolina and Texas. The Amended and Restated Certificate has been duly adopted by all necessary corporate action and was filed with the Delaware Secretary of State on November 3, 2008.
(b) The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents.

(d) After giving effect to the filing of the Amended and Restated Certificate but before giving effect to the transactions contemplated by the Stock Purchase Agreement, the authorized capital stock of the Company consists of 125,500,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share, 16,981,432 of which are issued and outstanding prior to the Closing, and 84,645,119 shares of Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share, 3,360,000 shares of which have been designated Series A Convertible Participating Preferred Stock (Series A Preferred), all of which are issued and outstanding prior to the Closing, 10,658,017 shares of which have been designated Series B Convertible Participating Preferred Stock (Series B Preferred), 10,642,814 of which are issued and outstanding prior to the Closing, 8,717,647 shares of which have been designated Series C Convertible Participating Preferred Stock (Series C Preferred), 8,364,707 of which are issued and outstanding prior to the Closing, 6,000,000 shares of which have been designated Series 1 Convertible Preferred Stock (Series 1 Preferred), 4,208,787 of which are issued and outstanding prior to the Closing, 17,511,727 shares of which have been designated Series D Convertible Participating Preferred Stock (Series D Preferred), 15,890,678 of which are issued and outstanding prior to the Closing, 4,805,815 shares of which have been designated Series E Convertible Participating Preferred Stock (Series E Preferred), 4,493,245 of which are issued and outstanding prior to the Closing and 33,591,913 shares of which have been designated Series F Convertible Participating Preferred Stock (Series F Preferred), 3,602,940 of which are issued and outstanding prior to the Closing.

To our knowledge, except as described above, there are no other presently outstanding preemptive rights, options, warrants, conversion privileges or rights to purchase from the Company any of the authorized but unissued stock of the Company other than (i) the conversion privileges of the Companys Preferred Stock, (ii) any restricted stock or options that may have been granted under the 2001 Plan, the Series 1 Plan or the Israeli Option Plan, (iii) the rights of first refusal set forth in Section 3 of the Stockholders Agreement (as amended), (iv) warrants to acquire up to 264,536 shares of Series B Preferred, (v) warrants to acquire up to 352,940 shares of Series C Preferred, (vi) warrants to acquire up to 1,309,722 shares of Series D Preferred, (vii) warrants to acquire up to 312,567 shares of Series E Preferred, (viii) warrants to acquire up to 448,070 shares of Series F Preferred, (ix) warrants to acquire up to 2,464,129 shares of Common Stock, (ix) shares of the Companys capital stock (such capital stock being Series F Preferred as of the date hereof after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by the Stock Purchase Agreement) issuable upon conversion of that certain Subordinated Convertible Promissory Note issued by the Company in favor of Dell Products L.P. dated as of March 6, 2008, (x) shares of the Companys capital stock (such capital stock being Series F Preferred as of the date hereof after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by the Stock Purchase Agreement) issuable upon the exercise of that certain Warrant to Purchase Stock issued by the Company to Dell Products L.P. as of March 6, 2008, (xi) the right of first offer set forth in Section 5.6 of that certain Securities Purchase Agreement by and among the Company and Dell Products L.P. dated March 6, 2008, (xii) the right of first offer in favor of Cisco Systems, Inc. set forth in Section 5A.3 of the Prior Series F Agreement and (xiii) shares of the Companys capital stock (such capital stock being Series F Preferred as of the date hereof after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by the Stock Purchase Agreement) issuable upon conversion of convertible notes forming part of the Investor Debt Agreement.
(e) The Transaction Documents constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms. Each of the Transaction Documents has been duly executed and delivered by the Company.
(f) The Shares to be issued on the date hereof, when issued in compliance with the provisions of the Stock Purchase Agreement, will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. The Common Stock issuable upon conversion of such Shares has been duly and validly reserved for issuance and, when and if issued upon conversion in accordance with the Amended and Restated Certificate, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
(g) The execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents will not, as of the Closing, result in (i) a violation of the Companys Amended and Restated Certificate or Bylaws, (ii) a material violation of any statute, rule or regulation of United States federal, Delaware corporate or Massachusetts law applicable to the Company, (iii) a violation of any judgment or order specifically identified on the Disclosure Schedule, if any, or (iv) a default by the Company under any Contractual Obligation.
(h) No consent, approval or authorization of or designation, declaration or filing with, any United States federal, Delaware corporate or Massachusetts governmental authority on the part of the Company is required in connection with the valid execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents, or the offer, sale or issuance of the Shares, except the notice filing required by applicable securities laws.
(i) Based in part upon the representations made by you in the Stock Purchase Agreement, the offer, sale and issuance of the Shares to be issued in conformity with the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement and the issuance of the Common Stock, if any, to be issued upon conversion or exercise thereof, constitute transactions exempt from the registration requirements of Section 5 of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws.
In addition to the foregoing, we supplementally inform you that, to our knowledge and except as set forth on the Disclosure Schedule, there is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending or threatened against the Company that (i) questions the validity of the Transaction Documents or the right of the Company to enter into the Transaction Documents or (ii) if determined adversely, would be likely to result in a material adverse change in the financial condition or business of the Company. Please note that we have not conducted a docket search in any jurisdiction with respect to litigation that may be pending against the Company or any of its officers or directors, nor have we undertaken any further inquiry whatsoever other than to request the Opinion Certificate from the Company.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Certain Definitions. As used in this Agreement, the following terms shall have the following respective meanings:

By way of example with respect to clause (ii), if the Company had received $8,345,231 in net funds from the LRG Holders, the percentage under clause (ii) would be 12.32% and, assuming the Approved Piggyback Shares equal to 500,000, the LRG Piggyback Shares would be 61,600 (provided that the number of shares under clause (i) is greater than 61,600).

2. Piggyback Registrations. If at any time or times after the date hereof the Company shall seek to register any shares of its Common Stock under the Securities Act for sale to the public for its own account or on the account of others (except with respect to registration statements on Form S-4, S-8 or another form not available for registering the Registrable Securities for sale to the public), the Company will promptly give written notice thereof to all Holders. If within twenty (20) days after their receipt of such notice one or more Holders request the inclusion of some or all of the Registrable Securities owned by them in such registration, the Company will use its best efforts to effect the registration under the Securities Act of such Registrable Securities. In the case of the registration of shares of capital stock by the Company in connection with any underwritten public offering, if the underwriter(s) determines that marketing factors require a limitation on the number of Registrable Securities to be offered, subject to the following sentence, the Company shall not be required to register Registrable Securities of the Holders in excess of the amount, if any, of shares of the capital stock which the principal underwriter of such underwritten offering shall in good faith agree to include in such offering in addition to any amount to be registered for the account of the Company. In the case of the Companys initial public offering of Common Stock, if any limitation of the number of shares of Registrable Securities to be registered by the Holders is required pursuant to this Section 2, the number of shares to be excluded shall be determined in the following sequence: (i) first, securities held by any Persons not having any contractual, incidental piggyback registration rights, (ii) second, securities held by any Persons (other than the Holders) having contractual, incidental piggyback rights pursuant to an agreement which is not this Agreement, (iii) third, Registrable Securities (other than the LRG Piggyback Shares) sought to be included by the Holders (other than the LRG Holders) as determined on a pro rata basis (based upon the respective holdings of Registrable Securities by such Holders) and (iv) fourth, the LRG Piggyback Shares. In the case of any registered offering other than the Companys initial public offering of Common Stock, if any limitation of the number of shares of Registrable Securities to be registered by the Holders is required pursuant to this Section 2, the number of shares to be excluded shall be determined in the following sequence: (i) first, securities held by any Persons not having any contractual, incidental piggyback registration rights, (ii) second, securities held by any Persons (other than the Holders) having contractual, incidental piggyback rights pursuant to an agreement which is not this Agreement and (iii) third, Registrable Securities sought to be included by the Holders as determined on a pro rata basis (based upon the respective holdings of Registrable Securities by such Holders).
3. Required Registrations.
(a) Demand Registration. Upon the earlier of (i) July 10, 2006 or (ii) the date that is six (6) months after the initial public offering of Common Stock by the Company pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, on not more than two (2) occasions, the Holders of at least fifty percent (50%) of the Registrable Securities may request that the Company register under the Securities Act all or a portion of the Registrable Securities held by such requesting Holders having an aggregate value of at least $5,000,000 (based on the then current market price). A registration will not count as a requested registration under this
89
Section 3(a) until the registration statement relating to such registration has been declared effective by the Commission at the request of the requesting Holders and unless the requesting Holders are able to register and sell at least 66 2/3rds of the Registrable Securities requested by them to be included in such registration.
(b) Form S-3. After the Companys initial public offering of Common Stock registered under the Securities Act, the Company shall use its best efforts to qualify and remain qualified to register securities on Form S-3 (or any successor form) under the Securities Act. So long as the Company is qualified to register securities on Form S-3 (or any successor form), the Holders shall have the right to request registration on Form S-3 (or any successor form) for the Registrable Securities held by such requesting Holders having an aggregate value of at least $500,000 (based on the then current market price), including registrations for the sale of such Registrable Securities on a delayed or continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. Such requests shall be in writing and shall state the number of shares of Registrable Securities to be disposed of and the intended method of disposition of such shares by such requesting Holders. Upon receipt of a request for registration under this Section 3(b), the Company shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to effect a registration statement pursuant to this Section 3(b) as soon as practicable, but in any event no longer than thirty (30) days following receipt of such request.
(c) Registration Requirements. Following a request pursuant to Section 3(a) or (b) above, the Company will notify all of the other Holders and such Holders shall then have twenty (20) days to notify the Company of their desire to participate in the registration. Thereupon, the Company will use its best efforts to cause such of the Registrable Securities as may be requested by such Holders to be registered under the Securities Act in accordance with the terms of this Section 3. If the request for registration contemplates an underwritten public offering, the Company shall state such in the written notice and in such event the right of any Person to participate in such registration shall be conditioned upon their participation in such underwritten public offering and the inclusion of their securities in the underwritten public offering to the extent provided herein.
(d) Underwritten Offering. If a requested registration under this Section 3 involves an underwritten public offering and the managing underwriter of such offering determines in good faith that the number of securities sought to be offered should be limited due to market conditions, then the number of securities to be included in such underwritten public offering shall be reduced to a number deemed satisfactory by such managing underwriter, provided that the shares to be excluded shall be determined in the following sequence: (i) first, securities held by any Persons not having any contractual, incidental piggyback registration rights to include such securities in the registration statement, (ii) second, securities held by any other Persons (other than the Holders) having contractual, incidental piggyback rights to include such securities in the registration statement and (iii) third, Registrable Securities sought to be included in such registration. If there is a reduction of the number of Registrable Securities pursuant to clause (iii), such reduction shall be made on a pro rata basis (based upon the respective holdings of Registrable Securities held by such Holders). With respect to a request for registration pursuant to Section 3(a) or (b) which is for an underwritten public offering, the managing underwriter shall be chosen by a majority-in-interest of the Holders requesting such registration subject to the approval of the Company, which approval will not be unreasonably
90
withheld. If the managing underwriter has not limited the number of Registrable Securities or other securities to be underwritten, the Company may include securities for its own account in such registration if the managing underwriter so agrees and if the number of Registrable Securities and other securities which would otherwise have been included in such registration and underwriting will not thereby be limited.
(e) Postponement. The Company may postpone the filing of any registration statement required hereunder for a reasonable period of time, not to exceed ninety (90) days in the aggregate during any twelve-month period, if the Companys Board of Directors determines reasonably and in good faith it would be materially detrimental to the Company and its stockholders for such registration to be effected at such time. The Company shall not be required to cause a registration statement requested pursuant to this Section 3 to become effective prior to one hundred eighty (180) days following the effective date of the registration statement filed in connection with the initial public offering of the Companys equity securities and ninety (90) days following the effective date of any other registration statement initiated by the Company, if the request for registration has been received by the Company subsequent to the giving of written notice by the Company, made in good faith, to Holders entitled to request demand registrations under this Section 3 that the Company is commencing to prepare a Company-initiated registration statement (other than a registration effected solely to implement an employee benefit plan or a transaction to which Rule 145, or any other similar rule under the Securities Act, is applicable); provided, however, that the Company shall use its best efforts to achieve such effectiveness promptly following such period. The Company shall provide written notice to the Holders of Registrable Securities proposed to be included in such registration of (A) any postponement or withdrawal of the filing pursuant to this subsection (iii), (B) the Companys decision to file such registration statement following such withdrawal or postponement and (C) the effectiveness of such registration statement.
4. Further Obligations of the Company. Whenever the Company is required hereunder to register any Registrable Securities, it agrees that it shall also do the following:
(a) Pay all expenses of such registrations and offerings (exclusive of underwriting discounts and commissions) and the reasonable fees and expenses of not more than one independent counsel for the Holders in connection with any registrations pursuant to Sections 2 or 3 hereof;
(b) Use its best efforts to diligently prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement and use its best efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective and prepare and file such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such registration statement effective until the earlier of (i) the date which is ninety (90) days following the effectiveness of such registration statement and (ii) the date on which the Holder or Holders have completed the distribution described in the registration statement relating thereto, and to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the sale of securities covered by such registration statement for such period;
(c) Furnish to each selling Holder such copies of each preliminary and final prospectus and such other documents as such Holder may reasonably request to facilitate the public offering of its Registrable Securities;
91
(d) Enter into and perform its obligations under any reasonable underwriting agreement required by the proposed underwriter, if any, in such form and containing such terms as are customary; provided, however, that no Holder shall be required to make any representations or warranties other than with respect to its title to the Registrable Securities and with respect to any written information provided by the Holder to the Company;
(e) Use its best efforts to register or qualify the securities covered by such registration statement under the securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as any selling Holder may reasonably request; provided, that, the Company shall not for any such purpose be required to qualify to do business as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction wherein it is not so qualified;
(f) Immediately notify each selling Holder, at any time when a prospectus relating to his, her or its Registrable Securities is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the happening of any event as a result of which such prospectus contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits any material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and at the request of any such selling Holder, prepare a supplement or amendment to such prospectus so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such Registrable Securities, such prospectus will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading;
(g) Cause all such Registrable Securities to be listed on each securities exchange or quotation system on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed or quoted (or if similar securities issued by the Company are not yet listed or quoted, then on such exchange or quotation system as the Company shall determine);
(h) Make available to each selling Holder, any underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to a registration statement and any attorney, accountant or other agent or representative retained by any such selling Holder or underwriter (collectively, the Inspectors), all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company, as shall be reasonably necessary to enable them to exercise their due diligence responsibility, and cause the Companys officers, directors and employees to supply all information requested by any such Inspector in connection with such registration statement; provided, however, that such Inspector shall agree to hold in confidence and trust all information so provided;.
(i) Otherwise use its best efforts to comply with the securities laws of the United States and other applicable jurisdictions and all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission and comparable governmental agencies in other applicable jurisdictions and make generally available to its stockholders, in each case as soon as practicable, but not later than 45 days after the close of the period covered thereby, an earnings statement of the Company which will satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act;
(j) In the case of an underwritten public offering, furnish to each prospective selling Holder a signed counterpart, addressed to the prospective selling Holder, of (A) an opinion of counsel for the Company dated the effective date of the registration statement, and (B)
92
provided such perspective selling Holder complies with the requests of the Companys independent public accountants under the Statement on Auditing Standards No. 72, Letters for Underwriters and Certain Other Requesting Parties or any other successor or applicable accounting literature, a comfort letter signed by the independent public accountants who have certified the Companys financial statements included in the registration statement, covering substantially the same matters with respect to the registration statement (and the prospectus included therein) and (in the case of the accountants letter) with respect to events subsequent to the date of the financial statements, as customarily covered (at the time of such registration) in opinions of counsel and in accountants letters delivered to underwriters in underwritten public offerings of securities; and
(k) Otherwise cooperate with the underwriter or underwriters, the Commission and other regulatory agencies and take all actions and execute and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered all documents necessary to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities hereunder.
5. Indemnification; Contribution.
(a) Incident to any registration of any Registrable Securities under the Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless to the fullest extent permitted by law each underwriter, each Holder who offers or sells any such Registrable Securities in connection with such registration statement (including its partners (including partners of partners and stockholders of any such partners) and directors, officers, employees, representatives, members and agents of any of them (a Selling Holder), and each Person who controls any of them within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (a Controlling Person), from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, expenses and liabilities, joint or several (including any investigation, legal and other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with, and any amount paid in settlement of, any action, suit or proceeding or any claim asserted, as the same are incurred), to which they, or any of them, may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state statutory law or regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities arise out of or are based on (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in such registration statement (including any related preliminary or definitive prospectus, or any amendment or supplement to such registration statement or prospectus), (ii) any omission or alleged omission to state in such document a material fact required to be stated in it or necessary to make the statements in it not misleading or (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any state securities laws or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any state securities laws; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable to the extent that such loss, claim, damage, expense or liability arises from and is based on an untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance on and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by such underwriter, Selling Holder or Controlling Person expressly for use in such registration statement. With respect to such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission in the information furnished in writing to the Company by such Selling Holder expressly for use in such registration statement, such Selling Holder will indemnify and hold harmless each underwriter, the Company (including its directors, officers, employees, representatives, members and agents), each other Holder
93
(including its partners (including partners of partners and stockholders of such partners) and directors, officers, employees, representatives and agents of any of them, and each Person who controls any of them within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act), from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, expenses and liabilities, joint or several, to which they, or any of them, may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state statutory law or regulation, at common law or otherwise to the same extent provided in the immediately preceding sentence. In no event, however, shall the liability of a Selling Holder for indemnification under this Section 5(a) exceed the net proceeds received by such Selling Holder from its sale of Registrable Securities under such registration statement.
(b) If the indemnification provided for in Section 5(a) above for any reason is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities referred to therein, then each indemnifying party under this Section 5, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company, the Selling Holders and the underwriters from the offering of the Registrable Securities and (ii) the relative fault of the Company, the Selling Holders and the underwriters in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided, however, that in the event of a registration statement filed in response to a demand under Section 3(a) and in which the Company does not register any shares of capital stock, the proportion of contribution by the Company, the Selling Holders and the underwriters shall in all cases be governed solely by clause (ii) above. The relative benefits received by the Company, the Selling Holders and the underwriters shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions that the net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Company and the Selling Holders and the underwriting discount received by the underwriters, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover page of the applicable prospectus, bear to the aggregate public offering price of the securities covered by such registration statement. The relative fault of the Company, the Selling Holders and the underwriters shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company, the Selling Holders or the underwriters and the parties relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.
The Company and the Selling Holders agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 5(b) were determined by pro rata or per capita allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. In no event, however, shall a Selling Holder be required to contribute any amount under this Section 5(b) in excess of the net proceeds received by such Selling Holder from its sale of Registrable Securities under such registration statement. No person found guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not found guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
94
(c) The amount paid by an indemnifying party or payable to an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in this Section 5 shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim, payable as the same are incurred. The indemnification and contribution provided for in this Section 5 will remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified parties or any officer, director, employee, agent or controlling person of the indemnified parties. No indemnifying party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation, shall enter into a consent of entry of any judgment or enter into a settlement without the consent of the indemnified party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld.
6. Rule 144 and Rule 144A Requirement. In the event that the Company becomes subject to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Company shall use its best efforts to take all action as may be required as a condition to the availability of Rule 144 or Rule 144A under the Securities Act (or any successor or similar exemptive rules hereafter in effect). The Company shall furnish to any Holder, within 15 days of a written request, a written statement executed by the Company as to the steps it has taken to comply with the current public information requirement of Rule 144 or Rule 144A or such successor rules.
7. Transferability of Registration Rights. The registration rights set forth in this Agreement are transferable to any transferee of Registrable Securities who receives any shares of Registrable Securities. Each subsequent holder of Registrable Securities must consent in writing to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement in order to acquire the rights granted pursuant to this Agreement.
8. Rights Which May Be Granted to Subsequent Investors. Other than transferees of Registrable Securities under Section 7 hereof, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the Investors holding at least sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66 2/3%) of the outstanding Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock, Series D Preferred Stock and Series E Preferred Stock (voting together as a single class and on an as-converted basis), grant any other registration rights to any third parties.
9. Miscellaneous.
(a) Amendments. For the purposes of this Agreement and all agreements executed pursuant hereto, no course of dealing between or among any of the parties hereto and no delay on the part of any party hereto in exercising any rights hereunder or thereunder shall operate as a waiver of the rights hereof and thereof. This Agreement may not be amended or modified or any provision hereof waived without the joint written consent of the Company and the Investors holding at least sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66 2/3%) of the Registrable Securities attributable to the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock, Series D Preferred Stock and Series E Preferred Stock; provided, however, that (i) in the event that any amendment, modification or waiver under this Agreement treats the Series 1 Holders in an adverse manner that is different from the Investors vis a vis their rights hereunder, such amendment, modification or waiver shall also require the written consent of Series 1 Holders holding at least a majority of the Registrable Securities attributable to the conversion of the Series 1 Preferred Stock, (ii) in the event that any amendment, modification or waiver under this Agreement treats the MBI Group Holders in an
95
adverse manner that is different from the Investors vis a vis their rights hereunder, such amendment, modification or waiver shall also require the written consent of the MBI Group Holders holding at least a majority of the Registrable Securities held by the MBI Group Holders, (iii) in the event that any amendment, modification or waiver under this Agreement treats the LRG Holders in an adverse manner that is different from the Investors vis a vis their rights hereunder, such amendment, modification or waiver shall also require the written consent of the LRG Holders holding at least a majority of the Registrable Securities held by the LRG Holders, (iv) in the event that any amendment, modification or waiver under this Agreement treats the Strategic Investor in an adverse manner that is different from the Investors vis a vis their rights hereunder, such amendment, modification or waiver shall also require the written consent of the Strategic Investor and (v) notice of any amendment, modification or waiver under this Agreement shall be delivered to the Series 1 Representatives and the MBI Group Holder Representative (each in the manner set forth below).
(b) Notices and Demands. Any notice or demand which, by any provision of this Agreement or any agreement, document or instrument executed pursuant hereto or thereto, except as otherwise provided therein, is required or provided to be given shall be deemed to have been sufficiently given or served and received for all purposes when delivered by hand, telecopy, telex or other method of facsimile or five (5) days after being sent by certified or registered mail, postage and charges prepaid, return receipt requested, or two (2) days after being sent by overnight delivery providing receipt of delivery, provided, however, that any such notice or demand shall be provided to Series 1 Holders and/or MBI Group Holders only by way of reputable air courier service, and shall be deemed to have been sufficiently given or served and received for all purposes three (3) days after being sent.

(c) Dispute Resolution.
(i) All disputes, claims or controversies arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other agreement executed and delivered pursuant to this Agreement or the negotiation, validity or performance hereof and thereof or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby that are not resolved by mutual agreement shall be resolved solely and exclusively by binding arbitration to be conducted before the American Arbitration Association (AAA). If AAA ceases operation, then the parties shall select a comparable organization that provides qualified arbitration services. The arbitration shall be held in Boston, Massachusetts before a single arbitrator and shall be conducted in accordance with the rules and regulations promulgated by AAA unless specifically modified herein.
The parties covenant and agree that the arbitration hearing shall commence within ninety (90) days of the date on which a written demand for arbitration is filed by any party hereto. In connection with the arbitration proceeding, the arbitrator shall have the power to order the production of documents by each party and any third-party witnesses. In addition, each party may take up to three depositions as of right, and the arbitrator may in his or her discretion allow additional depositions upon good cause shown by the moving party. However, the arbitrator shall not have the power to order the answering of interrogatories or the response to requests for admission. In connection with any arbitration, each party shall provide to the other, no later than seven (7) business days before the date of the arbitration hearing, the identity of all persons that may testify at the arbitration and a copy of all documents that may be introduced at the arbitration hearing or considered or used by a partys witness or expert. The arbitrators decision and award shall be made and delivered within three (3) months of the selection of the arbitrator.
97
The arbitrators decision shall set forth a reasoned basis for any finding of liability or award of damages. The arbitrator shall not have power to award damages in excess of actual compensatory damages and shall not multiply actual damages or award punitive damages or any other damages that are specifically excluded under this Agreement, and each party hereby irrevocably waives any claim to such damages.
The parties covenant and agree that they will participate in the arbitration in good faith and that they will share equally its costs, except as otherwise provided herein. The arbitrator may in his or her discretion assess costs and expenses (including the reasonable legal fees and expenses of the prevailing party) whether claimant or respondent against any party to a proceeding. Any party failing or refusing to comply with an order of the arbitrators shall be liable for costs and expenses, including attorneys fees, incurred by the other party in enforcing the award. Nothing in this Section 9(c) shall prohibit any party from proceeding in court without prior arbitration for the limited purpose of seeking a temporary or permanent injunction to avoid immediate and irreparable harm. The provisions of this Section 9(c) shall be enforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction.
Unless otherwise ordered, the parties shall bear their own attorneys fees, costs and expenses in connection with the arbitration. The parties will share equally in the fees and expenses charged by AAA.
(ii) Each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally consents to the exclusive use of AAA to resolve all disputes, claims or controversies arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other agreement executed and delivered pursuant to this Agreement or the negotiation, validity or performance hereof and thereof or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and further consents to the jurisdiction of the courts of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts for the purposes of enforcing the arbitration provisions of Section 9(c)(i) of this Agreement. Each party further irrevocably waives any objection to proceeding before AAA based upon lack of personal jurisdiction or to the laying of venue and further irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to make a claim in any court that arbitration before AAA has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Each of the parties hereto hereby consents to service of process by registered mail at the address to which notices are to be given. Each of the parties hereto agrees that its, his or her submission to jurisdiction and its, his or her consent to service of process by mail is made for the express benefit of the other parties hereto.
(d) Remedies; Severability. Notwithstanding Section 9(c), it is specifically understood and agreed that any breach of the provisions of this Agreement by any Person subject hereto will result in irreparable injury to the other parties hereto, that the remedy at law alone will be an inadequate remedy for such breach, and that, in addition to any other remedies which they may have, such other parties may enforce their respective rights by actions for specific performance (to the extent permitted by law). Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such a manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be deemed prohibited or invalid under such applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, and such prohibition or invalidity shall not invalidate the remainder of such provision or the other provisions of this Agreement.
98
(e) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original but all of which shall constitute but one and the same instrument. One or more counterparts of this Agreement may be delivered via telecopier, with the intention that they shall have the same effect as an original counterpart hereof.
(f) Effect of Heading. The Section headings herein are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.
(g) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be deemed a contract made under the laws of the State of Delaware and together with the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder, shall be construed under and governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to its conflicts of laws principles.
(h) Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, executors, legal representatives, successors, permitted assigns and transferees, except as may be expressly provided otherwise herein. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (a) an Investor may assign any of its rights under this Agreement to any Affiliate (as defined in that certain Series E Preferred Stock Agreement dated as of May 4, 2007) of such Investor, (b) a Series 1 Holder may assign any of its rights under this Agreement to another person party to that certain Deed of Contribution among, inter alia, J.S. Rabbetts and others, (c) an LRG Holder may assign any of its rights under this Agreement in accordance with the Loan Agreement and (d) the Strategic Investor may assign any of its rights under this Agreement in accordance with the Purchase Agreement.
(i) Integration. This Agreement, including the exhibits, documents and instruments referred to herein or therein, constitutes the entire agreement, and supercedes all other prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. In accordance with Section 9(a) of the Prior Agreement, the Company and the Investors hereby agree that this Agreement amends, restates and supercedes the Prior Agreement in its entirety and that the Prior Agreement is hereafter null and void.

(a) Transfers effected pursuant to Sections 2.2 and 2.3 hereof, in each case made strictly in accordance with the procedures set forth therein;
(b) Transfers by a Stockholder to his or her spouse, children or grandchildren or to a trust of which he or she is the settlor and a trustee for the benefit of such Person or his or her spouse, children or grandchildren, to partnerships in which such family members are the only partners, or to limited liability companies in which such family members are the only members, provided that the Transferee shall have executed a Joinder Agreement in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto; and
(c) Transfers upon the death of a Stockholder to his or her heirs, executors or administrators or to a trust under his or her will or Transfers between such Person and his or her guardian or conservator, provided that the Transferee shall have executed a Joinder Agreement in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto.
Any permitted Transferee described in the preceding clauses (b) or (c) shall be referred to herein as a Permitted Transferee. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any failure to execute a Joinder Agreement as contemplated hereby, Permitted Transferees shall take any shares so Transferred subject to all provisions of this Agreement as if such shares were still held by the transferor, whether or not they so agree with the transferor and/or the Company. Without limitation of the foregoing, in connection with any otherwise permitted Transfer of shares of capital stock that are restricted shares and are subject to any stock restriction agreement, any Transferee of any such shares shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms of any such stock restriction or similar agreement, including, without limitation, any repurchase or similar right contained therein.
2.2 Right of First Refusal. In the event that any Stockholder or any of their Permitted Transferees (a Transferring Stockholder) proposes to Transfer all or any portion of the shares of capital stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for capital stock of the Company held by such Person (a Proposed Transaction) to a Person other than a Permitted Transferee (a Proposed Transferee), such Transferring Stockholder may, subject to the provisions of Section 2.3 hereof, Transfer such shares pursuant to and in accordance with the following provisions of this Section 2.2:
(a) Offer Notice. Such Transferring Stockholder shall deliver written notice (the Offer Notice) of its desire to consummate the Proposed Transaction to the Company, with a copy to the Investors, and shall otherwise comply with the provisions of this Section 2.2 and, if applicable, Section 2.3. The Offer Notice shall specify (i) the number of shares and type of securities of the Transferring Stockholder subject to the Proposed Transaction (the Offered Shares), (ii) the consideration per share to be paid for the Offered Shares (the Offer Price), (iii) the identities of the Proposed Transferees and (iv) all other material terms and conditions of the Proposed Transaction. In the event that the Offer Price set forth in the Offer Notice is stated in consideration other than cash or cash equivalents, the Board of Directors of the Company with the agreement of the Investors may determine the fair market value of such consideration, reasonably and in good faith, and the Company or Investors may exercise their Rights of First Refusal (as defined below) by payment of such fair market value in cash or cash equivalents. The Transferring Stockholders Offer Notice shall constitute an irrevocable offer to sell all such shares to the Company and the Investors on the basis described below at a purchase price equal to the price contained in, and on the same terms as set forth in the Offer Notice.
(b) Company Right of First Refusal. For a period of ten (10) business days after the giving of the Offer Notice pursuant to Section 2.2(a) (the Company Option Period), the Company shall have the right (the Company Right of First Refusal) to purchase any or all of the Offered Shares at a purchase price equal to the Offer Price and upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Offer Notice. The right of the Company to purchase any or all of the Offered Shares under this Section 2.2(b) shall be exercisable by delivering written notice of the exercise thereof prior to the expiration of the Company Option Period to the Transferring Stockholder, with a copy to the Investors, which notice shall state the number of Offered Shares proposed to be purchased by the Company. The failure of the Company to respond within the Company Option Period shall be deemed to be a waiver of the Companys rights under this Section 2.2(b), provided that the Company may waive its rights under this Section 2.2(b) prior to the expiration of the Company Option Period by giving written notice to the Transferring Stockholder, with a copy to the Investors. The closing for any purchase of shares by the Company hereunder shall take place within ten (10) business days after the expiration of the Company Option Period.
(c) Investor Right of First Refusal. If the Company does not elect to purchase all of the Offered Shares pursuant to Section 2.2(b), then for a period of fifteen (15) business days (the Investor Option Period) after the earlier to occur of (a) the expiration of the Company Option Period pursuant to Section 2.2(b) or (b) the date upon which the Transferring Shareholder shall have received written notice from the Company of its exercise of the Company Right of First Refusal pursuant to Section 2.2(b) or its waiver thereof, each of the Investors shall have the right (the Investor Right of First Refusal and, together with the Company Right of First Refusal, the Rights of First Refusal) to accept the offer to purchase any or all of the remaining Offered Shares at a purchase price equal to the Offer Price and upon the terms and conditions specified in the Offer Notice. Each Investor shall then have the right to accept the offer to purchase up to that number of remaining Offered Shares as shall be equal to the product obtained by multiplying (X) the total number of remaining Offered Shares by (Y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the total number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be held by such Investor on the date of the Offer Notice (as determined in accordance with Section 1.2 hereof) and the denominator of which is the total number of shares of Common Stock then deemed to be held by all of the Investors on the date of the Offer Notice (as determined in accordance with Section 1.2 hereof), subject to increase as hereinafter provided. The number of shares that each such Investor is entitled to purchase under this Section 2.2 shall be referred to as a ROFR Fraction. In the event any such Investor does not wish to purchase its ROFR Fraction, then all the other Investors who so elect shall have the right to accept the offer to purchase, on a pro rata basis with all other Investors who so elect (as hereinafter provided), any ROFR Fraction not purchased by such Investor. Each Investor shall have the right to accept the Proposed Transaction by giving notice of such acceptance to the Transferring Stockholder within the Investor Option Period, which notice shall indicate the maximum number of shares subject thereto which such Investor is willing to purchase in the event fewer than all the Investors elect to purchase their ROFR Fractions. The Transferring Stockholder shall notify the Investors promptly following any lapse of the Right of First Refusal without acceptance thereof or any rejection of the Right of First Refusal.
The closing for any purchase of shares by the Investors hereunder shall take place within ten (10) business days after the expiration of the Investor Option Period.
(d) Sale to Proposed Transferee. In the event that the Company and/or the Investors do not elect to exercise their respective Rights of First Refusal with respect to all of the Offered Shares, the Transferring Stockholder may consummate the sale of the remaining Offered Shares to the Proposed Transferee on the terms and conditions set forth in the Offer Notice, subject to the provisions of Section 2.3. If the Transferring Stockholders Transfer to the Proposed Transferee is not consummated in accordance with the terms of the Proposed Transaction within the later of (i) ninety (90) days after the expiration of the later of the Investor Right of First Refusal and the Co-Sale Option set forth in Section 2.3, if applicable, and (ii) the satisfaction of all governmental approval or filing requirements, the Proposed Transaction shall be deemed to lapse, and any Transfers of shares pursuant to such Proposed Transaction shall be deemed to be in violation of the provisions of this Agreement unless the Company and the Investors are once again afforded the Rights of First Refusal provided for herein with respect to such Proposed Transaction.
2.3 Co-Sale Option. In the event that any Transferring Stockholder proposes to Transfer all or any portion of the Offered Shares in a Proposed Transaction, and the Rights of First Refusal under Section 2.2 above are not exercised with respect to all of the Offered Shares proposed to be sold, such Transferring Stockholder may Transfer such shares only pursuant to and in accordance with the following provisions of this Section 2.3:
(a) Each Investor who has chosen not to exercise its Right of First Refusal pursuant to Section 2.2 above and the Founder shall have the right to participate in the Proposed Transaction on the terms and conditions herein stated (the Co-Sale Option), which right shall be exercisable upon written notice (the Acceptance Notice) to the Transferring Stockholder within ten (10) business days after receipt by the Investors and the Founder of a written notice (Co-Sale Notice) from the Transferring Stockholder that the Investors have not elected to exercise their Right of First Refusal with respect to such Offered Shares. The Acceptance Notice shall indicate the maximum number of shares each Investor or the Founder (as applicable) wishes to sell (including the number of shares it would sell if one or more Investors or the Founder does not elect to participate in the sale) on the terms and conditions stated in the Offer Notice.
(b) Each such Investor who has chosen not to exercise its Right of First Refusal pursuant to Section 2.2 and the Founder shall have the right to sell a portion of its shares pursuant to the Proposed Transaction which is equal to or less than the product obtained by multiplying (i) the total number of Offered Shares to be sold to a Proposed Transferee pursuant to the Proposed Transaction by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the total number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be held by such Investor or such Founder (as applicable) on the date of the Co-Sale Notice (as determined in accordance with Section 1.2 hereof) and the denominator of which is the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be held collectively by the Transferring Stockholder, all Investors who have chosen not to exercise their Rights of First Refusal pursuant to Section 2.2 and the Founder on the date of the Co-Sale Notice (as determined in accordance with Section 1.2 hereof). To the extent one or more of such Investors or the Founder elects not to exercise its Co-Sale Option, then the rights of the other such Investors and the Founder (in each case, who exercise its Co-Sale Option) to sell shares shall be increased proportionately based on their relative holdings by the full amount of shares which the non-electing Persons were entitled to sell pursuant to this Section 2.3.
(c) Within ten (10) business days after the date by which the Investors and/or the Founder (as applicable) were required to notify the Transferring Stockholder of their intent to exercise the Co-Sale Option, the Transferring Stockholder shall notify each participating Investor and Founder of the number of shares held by such Investor or Founder that will be included in the sale and the date on which the Proposed Transaction will be consummated, which shall be no later than the later of (i) thirty (30) days after the date by which the Investors and/or the Founder (as applicable) were required to notify the Transferring Stockholder of its intent to exercise the Co-Sale Option and (ii) the satisfaction of governmental approval or filing requirements, if any.
(d) Any Investor or the Founder may effect its participation in any Proposed Transaction hereunder by delivery to the Proposed Transferee or to the Transferring Stockholder for delivery to the Proposed Transferee of one or more instruments or certificates properly endorsed for Transfer representing the shares it elects to sell therein, provided that no such Investor or Founder shall be required to make any representations or warranties or provide any indemnities in connection therewith other than with respect to its ownership of the shares being conveyed. At the time of consummation of the Proposed Transaction, the Proposed Transferee shall remit directly to each such Investor and Founder that portion of the sale proceeds to which such Investor or Founder (as applicable) is entitled by reason of its participation therein (less any adjustments due to the conversion of any convertible securities or the exercise of any exercisable securities).
(e) Promptly after such sale, the Transferring Stockholder shall notify each participating Investor and Founder of the consummation thereof and shall furnish such evidence of the completion and date of completion of such sale and of the terms thereof as may reasonably be requested by any such Investor or Founder. So long as the Proposed Transferee is neither a party nor an Affiliate of a party to this Agreement, such Proposed Transferee shall take the shares so Transferred free and clear of any further restrictions of this Section 2. In the event that the Proposed Transaction is not consummated within the period required by subparagraph (c) hereof or the Proposed Transferee fails timely to remit to each such Investor and Founder its portion of the sale proceeds, the Proposed Transaction shall be deemed to lapse, and any Transfers of shares pursuant to such Proposed Transaction shall be deemed to be in violation of the provisions of this Agreement unless the Transferring Stockholder once again complies with the provisions of Sections 2.2 and 2.3 hereof with respect to such Proposed Transaction.
2.4 Sales to Competitors. Each Stockholder and Investor hereby agrees not to directly or indirectly Transfer any shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company or options in respect to any thereof to any Person whose activities, products or services are competitive with activities, products or services of the Company as reasonably determined by the Board of Directors as of the date of the proposed Transfer (provided that the foregoing shall not restrict (i) public sales registered under the Securities Act or pursuant to Rule 144 thereunder unless the relevant Transferor has knowledge that the buyer or buyers are such competitors or (ii) Transfers of an Investor to an Affiliate of such Investor). The Company may impose stop transfer instructions with its transfer agent in order to enforce the foregoing covenants.
2.5 Prohibited Transfers. If any Transfer is made or attempted contrary to the provisions of this Agreement, such purported Transfer shall be void ab initio; the Company, the Investors and the Stockholders shall have in addition to any other legal or equitable remedies
which they may have the right to enforce the provisions of this Agreement by actions for specific performance (to the extent permitted by law); and the Company shall have the right to refuse to recognize any Transferee as one of its stockholders for any purpose.
2.6 Assignment of Rights. The Investors shall have the right to assign its rights under this Section 2 to a Transferee who receives any shares of Preferred Stock, provided that such Transferee must consent in writing to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Section 2 to acquire the rights granted hereunder.

Subject to Section 5.6 of the Purchase Agreement and Section 5A.3 of the Series F Purchase Agreement, the Company agrees that it will not sell or issue any shares of capital stock of the Company, or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for capital stock of the Company or options, warrants or rights carrying any rights to purchase capital stock of the Company (the Offered Securities) unless the Company first submits written notice (the Preemptive Rights Notice) to the Investors identifying the terms of the proposed sale (including price, number or aggregate principal amount of securities and all other material terms), and offers to each Investor the opportunity to purchase its Pro Rata Allotment (as hereinafter defined) of the Offered Securities (subject to increase for over-allotment if any of the Investors do not fully exercise their rights) on terms and conditions, including price, not less favorable than those on which the Company proposes to sell such securities to a third party or parties.

For purposes of this Section 3.1, each Investors Pro Rata Allotment of securities shall be based on the ratio which the shares of Common Stock held by such Investor (as determined in accordance with Section 1.2 hereof) bears to the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the date of the Preemptive Rights Notice (determined on a fully-diluted and an as-converted basis).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the right to purchase shall be inapplicable with respect to any issuance or proposed issuance by the Company of (i) up to 17,350,204 shares of Common Stock and up to 325,000 shares of Series 1 Stock, as appropriately adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations and the like (or options to purchase such Common Stock or Series 1 Stock) to its officers, directors, employees and consultants pursuant to stock and options plans approved by a majority of the Board of Directors, (ii) Common Stock upon conversion of the Preferred Stock, (iii) securities as a result of any stock split, stock dividend or combination of the Companys Common Stock, (iv) securities upon conversion or exercise of convertible or

5.5 Dispute Resolution.
(a) All disputes, claims or controversies arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other agreement executed and delivered pursuant to this Agreement or the negotiation, validity or performance hereof and thereof or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby that are not resolved by mutual agreement shall be resolved solely and exclusively by binding arbitration to be conducted before the American Arbitration Association (AAA). If AAA ceases operation, then the parties shall select a comparable organization that provides qualified arbitration services. The arbitration shall be held in Boston, Massachusetts before a single arbitrator and shall be conducted in accordance with the rules and regulations promulgated by AAA unless specifically modified herein.
The parties covenant and agree that the arbitration hearing shall commence within ninety (90) days of the date on which a written demand for arbitration is filed by any party hereto. In connection with the arbitration proceeding, the arbitrator shall have the power to order the production of documents by each party and any third-party witnesses. In addition, each party may take up to three depositions as of right, and the arbitrator may in his or her discretion allow additional depositions upon good cause shown by the moving party. However, the arbitrator
shall not have the power to order the answering of interrogatories or the response to requests for admission. In connection with any arbitration, each party shall provide to the other, no later than seven (7) business days before the date of the arbitration hearing, the identity of all persons that may testify at the arbitration and a copy of all documents that may be introduced at the arbitration hearing or considered or used by a partys witness or expert. The arbitrators decision and award shall be made and delivered within three (3) months of the selection of the arbitrator. The arbitrators decision shall set forth a reasoned basis for any finding of liability or award of damages. The arbitrator shall not have power to award damages in excess of actual compensatory damages and shall not multiply actual damages or award punitive damages or any other damages that are specifically excluded under this Agreement, and each party hereby irrevocably waives any claim to such damages.
The parties covenant and agree that they will participate in the arbitration in good faith and that they will share equally its costs, except as otherwise provided herein. The arbitrator may in his or her discretion assess costs and expenses (including the reasonable legal fees and expenses of the prevailing party whether claimant or respondent) against any party to a proceeding. Any party failing or refusing to comply with an order of the arbitrators shall be liable for costs and expenses, including attorneys fees, incurred by the other party in enforcing the award. Nothing in this Section 5.5 shall prohibit any party from proceeding in court without prior arbitration for the limited purpose of seeking a temporary or permanent injunction to avoid immediate and irreparable harm. The provisions of this Section 5.5 shall be enforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction.
Unless otherwise ordered, the parties shall bear their own attorneys fees, costs and expenses in connection with the arbitration. The parties will share equally in the fees and expenses charged by AAA.
(b) Each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally consents to the exclusive use of AAA to resolve all disputes, claims or controversies arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other agreement executed and delivered pursuant to this Agreement or the negotiation, validity or performance hereof and thereof or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and further consents to the jurisdiction of the courts of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts for the purposes of enforcing the arbitration provisions of Section 5.5(a) of this Agreement. Each party further irrevocably waives any objection to proceeding before AAA based upon lack of personal jurisdiction or to the laying of venue and further irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to make a claim in any court that arbitration before AAA has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Each of the parties hereto hereby consents to service of process by registered mail at the address to which notices are to be given. Each of the parties hereto agrees that its or his submission to jurisdiction and its or his consent to service of process by mail is made for the express benefit of the other parties hereto.
5.6 Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such a manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be deemed prohibited or invalid under such applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, and such prohibition or invalidity shall not invalidate the remainder of such provision or the other provisions of this Agreement.
5.7 Counterparts. This Agreement and any Exhibit or Schedule hereto may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original but all of which shall constitute but one and the same instrument. One or more counterparts of this Agreement or any Exhibit or Schedule hereto may be delivered via telecopier, with the intention that they shall have the same effect as an original counterpart hereof.
5.8 Effect of Heading. The Section headings herein are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.
5.9 Governing Law. This agreement shall be deemed a contract made under the laws of the State of Delaware and together with the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder, shall be construed under and governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to its conflicts of laws principles.
5.10 Integration.

The Company and the undersigned Existing Investors hereby agree that this Agreement amends, restates and supercedes the Prior Agreement in its entirety and that the Prior Agreement is hereafter null and void.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, an Investor may assign any of its rights under this Agreement to any Affiliate of such Investor.
5.12 Adjustment. All references to share amounts and prices herein shall be equitably adjusted to reflect any stock split, combination, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, stock distribution, stock dividend or similar event affecting the capital stock of the Company.
5.13 Term. The provisions contained in Sections 2, 3, 4 and 5.3 of this Agreement shall terminate immediately prior to the closing by the Company of a Qualified Public Offering.

Exhibit G-1
Form of Employee Proprietary Information, Developments and Non-Competition Agreement
GLASSHOUSE TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
Employee Agreement
In consideration of my employment or continued employment, as the case may be, by Glass House Technologies, Inc. (the Company), and the grant of options to purchase shares of common stock, par value $.001 (Common Stock), of the Company, I, the undersigned employee, hereby agree with the Company as follows:
1. Proprietary Information.
(a) I understand that the Company possesses and will continue to possess information that has been or will be created, discovered, developed or otherwise become known to the Company (including, without limitation, information created, discovered, developed or made known to me during the period of my employment by the Company to be used in the actual or anticipated business of the Company) or in which property rights have been or will be assigned or otherwise conveyed to the Company, which information has commercial value in the business in which the Company is engaged and is treated by the Company as confidential or proprietary. All such information is hereafter called Proprietary Information. By way of illustration, but not limitation, Proprietary Information includes processes, formulas, data, computer programs, software and documentation, know-how, improvements, discoveries, developments, designs, algorithms, inventions, techniques, strategies, new products, marketing plans, forecasts, unpublished financial statements, business forms, contract forms, report formats, budgets, projections, licenses, prices, costs, customer, client and supplier lists and employee information and any other information of a similar nature not available to the public, whether oral or written, in drawings or in machine-readable form, and whether or not expressly marked Confidential or Proprietary. I acknowledge that the development and acquisition of the Proprietary Information are the result of great effort and expense on the part of the Company and are critical to the success and survival of the Company.
(b) All Proprietary Information shall be the sole property of the Company, and the Company shall be the sole owner of all patents, copyrights and other rights related thereto. I hereby assign to the Company any rights I may have or acquire in such Proprietary Information. At all times, both during my employment by the Company and after its termination for whatever reason, I will keep in strictest confidence and trust all Proprietary Information, and I will not use or disclose any Proprietary Information without the prior written consent of the Company, except as may be necessary in the ordinary course of performing my duties as an employee of the Company. In the event of the termination of my employment by me or by the Company for any reason or upon three (3) business days after written request by the Company, I will deliver to the Company all documents, notes, drawings, specifications, data, and other materials of any nature pertaining to my work with the Company and/or containing Proprietary Information, and I will not take with me or retain any of the foregoing, any reproduction of any of the foregoing, or any Proprietary Information that is embodied in a tangible medium of expression. For purposes of the third and fourth sentence of this Section 1(b), Proprietary Information shall include confidential or proprietary information the Company has received and may in the future receive from third parties, which is subject to the Companys obligation to maintain the confidentiality of such information and to use it only for certain limited purposes.
2. Developments, Etc.
(a) I will promptly disclose to the Company (or any persons designated by it) all processes, formulas, data, computer programs, software and documentation, know-how, improvements, discoveries, developments, designs, algorithms, inventions, techniques, strategies and new products, whether or not patentable or registrable under copyright or similar statutes, made or conceived or reduced to practice or learned by me, either alone or jointly with others, during the period of my employment that are related to or useful in the actual or anticipated business of the Company, result from tasks assigned to me by the Company, or result from the use of premises owned, leased or contracted for by the Company (all of the foregoing are hereinafter referred to as Developments). To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Developments will be deemed work made for hire. I will also promptly disclose to the Company, and the Company hereby agrees to receive all such disclosures in confidence, all other processes, formulas, data,
computer programs, software and documentation, know-how, improvements, discoveries, developments, designs, algorithms, inventions, techniques, strategies and new products, whether or not patentable or registrable under copyright or similar statues, made or conceived or reduced to practice or learned by me, either alone or jointly with others, during the period of my employment for the purpose of determining whether they constitute Developments. The provisions of this Section 2 will apply to all Developments which are conceived or developed during the term of my employment with the Company, whether or not further development or reduction to practice may take place after termination of my employment.
(b) I agree that all Developments shall be the sole property of the Company, and the Company shall be the sole owner of all patents, copyrights and other rights in connection therewith. I hereby assign to the Company any rights I may have or acquire in such Developments. I further agree as to all such Developments to assist the Company in every proper way (but at the Companys expense) to obtain and from time to time enforce patents, copyrights and other rights and protections relating to said Developments in any and all countries, and to that end I will execute all documents for use in applying for and obtaining such patents, copyrights and other rights and protections and enforcing such Developments, as the Company may desire, together with any assignments thereof to the Company or persons designated by it. My obligation to assist the Company in obtaining and enforcing patents, copyrights and other rights and protections relating to such Developments in any and all countries shall continue beyond the termination of my employment, but the Company shall compensate me at a reasonable rate after my termination for time actually spent by me at the Companys request on such assistance.
3. Former Employment. I represent that my performance of all the terms of this Agreement and as an employee of the Company does not and will not breach any agreement to keep in confidence proprietary information acquired by me in confidence or in trust prior to my employment by the Company. I have not entered into, and I agree I will not enter into, any agreement either written or oral in conflict herewith. I represent, as part of the consideration for the offer of employment extended to me by the Company and of my employment or continued employment (as the case may be) by the Company, and the grant of options to purchase shares of Common Stock of the Company that I have not brought and will not bring with me to the Company for use in the performance of any of my responsibilities for the Company any materials or documents of a former employer that are not generally available to the public, unless I have obtained express written authorization from the former employer for their possession and use. I also understand that, in my employment with the Company, I am not to breach any obligation of confidentiality that I have to former employers, and I agree that I shall fulfill all such obligations during my employment with the Company.
4. Other Employment; Extent of Service. I agree that during the period of my employment by the Company I will not, without the Companys prior express written consent, engage in any employment or business other than for the Company. During the term of my employment, I agree to use my best efforts in, and shall devote substantially all of my working time, attention, skill and energies to, the advancement of the interests of the Company and the performance of my duties and responsibilities in connection with my employment with the Company.
5. Non-Solicitation. During the period of my employment with the Company and for one (1) year following the termination of my employment for any reason, I agree that I will not, either on my own behalf or on behalf of any other person or entity, directly or indirectly, (i) hire, solicit, or encourage to leave the employ of the Company any person who is or was an employee of the Company at any time during my employment with the Company, or (ii) solicit, entice away or divert all or part of the business of any person or entity who is then a client or customer of the Company or who was a client or customer of the Company at the time of my employment, or of any potential client or customer of the Company of which I had knowledge during my employment by the Company. I agree that client or customer lists, business contracts and related items are the property of the Company and are considered Proprietary Information hereunder. The restrictions described herein shall apply to my activities anywhere in the United States.
6. Injunctive Relief. I acknowledge and agree that the extent of damage to the Company in the event of a breach by me of any of the covenants contained in this Agreement would be difficult or impossible to ascertain and that there would be no adequate remedy at law available to the Company in the
event of such breach. Consequently, I agree that, in the event of such breach, the Company shall be entitled to enforce any or all of the covenants contained in this Agreement by injunctive or other equitable relief in addition to receiving damages or other relief to which the Company may be entitled.
7. Enforcement. If any portion of this Agreement is determined to be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder shall be enforceable to the maximum extent possible.
8. Binding Agreement. This Agreement shall be binding upon me, my heirs, executors, administrators and assigns.
9. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted under the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its choice of laws principles. I agree that the state or federal courts located within The Commonwealth of Massachusetts shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising out of this Agreement, and I hereby agree to submit to personal jurisdiction of such courts.
10. No Contract of Employment. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as a contract of employment between myself and the Company or as a commitment on the part of the Company to retain me in any capacity for any period of time.
11. Entire Agreement. This Agreement sets forth the entire understanding between the Company and me relating to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all previous and contemporaneous written or oral agreements between us relating to the subject matter hereof.
I HAVE READ ALL OF THE PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT AND I UNDERSTAND, AND AGREE TO, EACH OF SUCH PROVISIONS.

In consideration of my employment or continued employment, as the case may be, by Glass House Technologies, Inc. (the Company), and the grant of options to purchase shares of common stock, par value $.001 (Common Stock), of the Company, I, the undersigned employee, hereby agree with the Company as follows:
1. | Proprietary Information. |
(a) I understand that the Company possesses and will continue to possess information that has been or will be created, discovered, developed or otherwise become known to the Company (including, without limitation, information created, discovered, developed or made known to me during the period of my employment by the Company to be used in the actual or anticipated business of the Company) or in which property rights have been or will be assigned or otherwise conveyed to the Company, which information has commercial value in the business in which the Company is engaged and is treated by the Company as confidential or proprietary. All such information is hereafter called Proprietary Information. By way of illustration, but not limitation, Proprietary Information includes processes, formulas, data, computer programs, software and documentation, know-how, improvements, discoveries, developments, designs, algorithms, inventions, techniques, strategies, new products, marketing plans, forecasts, unpublished financial statements, business forms, contract forms, report formats, budgets, projections, licenses, prices, costs, customer, client and supplier lists and employee information and any other information of a similar nature not available to the public, whether oral or written, in drawings or in machine-readable form, and whether or not expressly marked Confidential or Proprietary. I acknowledge that the development and acquisition of the Proprietary Information are the result of great effort and expense on the part of the Company and are critical to the success and survival of the Company.
(b) All Proprietary Information shall be the sole property of the Company, and the Company shall be the sole owner of all patents, copyrights and other rights related thereto.

For purposes of the third and fourth sentence of this Section 1(b), Proprietary Information shall include confidential or proprietary information the Company has received and may in the future receive from third parties, which is subject to the Companys obligation to maintain the confidentiality of such information and to use it only for certain limited purposes.
2. Developments, Etc.
(a) I will promptly disclose to the Company (or any persons designated by it) all processes, formulas, data, computer programs, software and documentation, know-how, improvements, discoveries, developments, designs, algorithms, inventions, techniques, strategies and new products, whether or not patentable or registrable under copyright or similar statutes, made or conceived or reduced to practice or learned by me, either alone or jointly with others, during the period of my employment that are related to or useful in the actual or anticipated business of the Company, result from tasks assigned to me by the Company, or result from the use of premises owned, leased or contracted for by the Company (all of the foregoing are hereinafter referred to as Developments). To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Developments will be deemed work made for hire.

The provisions of this Section 2 will apply to all Developments which are conceived or developed during the term of my employment with the Company, whether or not further development or reduction to practice may take place after termination of my employment.
(b) I agree that all Developments shall be the sole property of the Company, and the Company shall be the sole owner of all patents, copyrights and other rights in connection therewith. I hereby assign to the Company any rights I may have or acquire in such Developments. I further agree as to all such Developments to assist the Company in every proper way (but at the Companys expense) to obtain and from time to time enforce patents, copyrights and other rights and protections relating to said Developments in any and all countries, and to that end I will execute all documents for use in applying for and obtaining such patents, copyrights and other rights and protections and enforcing such Developments, as the Company may desire, together with any assignments thereof to the Company or persons designated by it. My obligation to assist the Company in obtaining and enforcing patents, copyrights and other rights and protections relating to such Developments in any and all countries shall continue beyond the termination of my employment, but the Company shall compensate me at a reasonable rate after my termination for time actually spent by me at the Companys request on such assistance.
3. Former Employment. I represent that my performance of all the terms of this Agreement and as an employee of the Company does not and will not breach any agreement to keep in confidence proprietary information acquired by me in confidence or in trust prior to my employment by the Company. I have not entered into, and I agree I will not enter into, any agreement either written or oral in conflict herewith.

I also understand that, in my employment with the Company, I am not to breach any obligation of confidentiality that I have to former employers, and I agree that I shall fulfill all such obligations during my employment with the Company.
4. Other Employment; Extent of Service. I agree that during the period of my employment by the Company I will not, without the Companys prior express written consent, engage in any employment or business other than for the Company. During the term of my employment, I agree to use my best efforts in, and shall devote substantially all of my working time, attention, skill and energies to, the advancement of the interests of the Company and the performance of my duties and responsibilities in connection with my employment with the Company.
5. | Covenant Not to Compete. |
(a) I agree that in the event I am terminated from Company for Cause or resign for a reason other than Good Reason, I will not, for a period of one (1) year after my separation from Company, serve as a compensated or uncompensated employee, or provide any labor or services for any company, that is directly competitive with the Company at the time of my separation.
1. For purposes of this Agreement, Cause shall be defined as theft of Company property, falsification of Company documents or records or improper use or disclosure of Companys confidential or proprietary information, the failure or inability to perform any reasonable assigned duties after written notice from Company and a reasonable opportunity to cure such failure or inability, conviction of any felony or conviction of any criminal act (other than ordinary traffic violations) which impairs or calls into question they ability to perform duties with Company, material breach of Companys written policies which
materially and adversely affects Company and which are not cured within a reasonable time period, and/or the occurrence of severe physical or mental disability such that I cannot perform my duties with or without reasonable accommodation.
2. Good reason shall mean the occurrence of any of the following without my express written consent: (a) a material diminution in my authority or responsibilities; (b) a material reduction in my salary, benefits or other fringe benefits (unless reductions comparable in amount and duration are concurrently made for all other Employees of the Company with responsibilities, organizational level and title comparable to mine); or (c) without my consent, the relocation of my principal place of employment more than 50 miles from my then-current principal place of employment or the imposition of travel requirements substantially more demanding on me.
3. This provision (Section 5) shall not become effective until I have completed six (6) months of employment.
(b) The restrictions against competition set forth in this Section 5 are considered by the parties to be reasonable for the purposes of protecting the business of the Company. However, if any such restriction is found by any court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable because it extends for too long a period of time or over too great a range of activities or in too broad a geographic area, I agree that it shall be interpreted to extend only over the maximum period of time, range of activities or geographic area as to which it may be enforceable.
6. Non-Solicitation. During the period of my employment with the Company and for one (1) year following the termination of my employment for any reason, I agree that I will not, either on my own behalf or on behalf of any other person or entity, directly or indirectly, (i) hire, solicit, or encourage to leave the employ of the Company any person who is or was an employee of the Company at any time during my employment with the Company, or (ii) solicit, entice away or divert all or part of the business of any person or entity who is then a client or customer of the Company or who was a client or customer of the Company at the time of my employment, or of any potential client or customer of the Company of which I had knowledge during my employment by the Company. I agree that client or customer lists, business contracts and related items are the property of the Company and are considered Proprietary Information hereunder. The restrictions described herein shall apply to my activities anywhere in the United States.
7. Injunctive Relief. I acknowledge and agree that the extent of damage to the Company in the event of a breach by me of any of the covenants contained in this Agreement would be difficult or impossible to ascertain and that there would be no adequate remedy at law available to the Company in the event of such breach.
