“(b). The term “Registrable Securities” means (i) the shares of Common Stock issuable or issued upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock, Series D Preferred Stock or Series E Preferred Stock and any shares of capital stock, including any Founders’ Stock (as defined below), hereafter acquired by any Series A Holder, Series B Holder, Series C Holder, Series D Holder or Series E Holder, other than shares for which registration rights have terminated pursuant to Section 1.15 hereof, (ii) the shares of Common Stock issuable or issued upon conversion of the Series E Preferred Stock (the “SVB Shares”) issued or issuable upon exercise of the Warrants to Purchase Stock issued to Silicon Valley Bank (“SVB”) on May 7, 2010 and February 8, 2011 (together, the “SVB Warrants”), provided, however, that for the purposes of Section 1.2, 1.4, 1.7(a), 1.7(c), 1.13 and 2.2, the SVB Shares and any shares described in (v) below attributable to the SVB Shares shall not be deemed Registrable Securities and SVB shall not be deemed a Holder, (iii) the shares of Common Stock issued to the Founders (the “Founders’ Stock”), provided, however, that for the purposes of Section 1.2, 1.4, 1.7(a), 1.7(c), 1.13 and 2.2, the Founders’ Stock and any shares described in (v) below attributable to the Founders’ Stock shall not be deemed Registrable Securities and the Founders shall not be deemed Holders, (iv) the shares of Common Stock issuable or issued to Horizon upon exercise of the Horizon Warrant, other than shares for which registration rights have terminated pursuant to Section 1.15 hereof, provided, however, that for purposes of Section 1.2 and Section 1.4, Horizon may not initiate a registration request but may otherwise participate in any registration requested by the initiating Holders, and (v) any other shares of Common Stock of the Company issued as (or issuable upon the conversion or exercise of any warrant, right or other security which is issued as) a dividend or other distribution with respect to, or in exchange for or in replacement of, the shares listed in (i), (ii) and (iii); provided, however, that the foregoing definition shall exclude in all cases any Registrable Securities sold by a person in a transaction in which his or her rights under this Agreement are not assigned. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Common Stock or other securities shall only be treated as Registrable Securities if and so long as they have not been (A) sold to or through a broker or dealer or underwriter in a public distribution or a public securities transaction, or (B) sold in a transaction exempt from the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act under Section 4(1) thereof so that all transfer restrictions, and restrictive legends with respect thereto, if any, are removed upon the consummation of such sale;

2. All corporate action on the part of the Company, its directors and shareholders necessary for the authorization, execution, delivery and performance of this Amendment has been taken as of the date first set forth above.

Each Party acknowledges that this Amendment, when executed and delivered by such Party, shall constitute a valid and binding obligation of such Party, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to laws of general application relating to bankruptcy, insolvency and the relief of debtors, and rules of law governing specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies.

4. This Amendment shall become effective upon: (i) its execution by the Company and (ii) the holders of a majority of the outstanding Registrable Securities, not including the Founders’ Stock.

5. Except as expressly modified hereby, the Rights Agreement shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with its respective, original terms.
