(b) If the Initiating Holders intend to distribute the Registrable Securities covered by their request by means of an underwriting, they shall so advise the Company as a part of their request made pursuant to this Section 2.1, and the Company shall include such information in the written notice referred to in Section 2.1(a). In such event the right of any Holder to include its Registrable Securities in such registration shall be conditioned upon such Holders
5
participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holders Registrable Securities in the underwriting (unless otherwise mutually agreed by a majority in interest of the Initiating Holders and such Holder) to the extent provided herein. All Holders proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting in accordance with Section 2.1(d). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.1, if the underwriter advises the Company that marketing factors require a limitation on the number of securities underwritten (including Registrable Securities), then the Company shall so advise all Holders of Registrable Securities that would otherwise be underwritten pursuant hereto, and the number of shares that may be included in the underwriting shall be allocated to the Holders of such Registrable Securities pro rata based on the number of Registrable Securities held by all such Holders (including the Initiating Holders). In no event shall any Registrable Securities be excluded from such underwriting unless all other securities are first excluded. Any Registrable Securities excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting shall be withdrawn from the registration.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to effect a registration pursuant to this Section 2.1:
(i) in any particular jurisdiction in which the Company would be required to qualify to do business or to execute a general consent to service of process in effecting such registration, unless the Company is already qualified to do business in such jurisdiction or subject to service of process in such jurisdiction and except as may be required under the Act;
(ii) after the Company has effected three (3) registrations pursuant to this Section 2.1 and such registrations have been declared or ordered effective;
(iii) during the period starting with the date ninety (90) days prior to the Companys good faith estimate of the date of the filing of and ending on a date one hundred eighty (180) days following the effective date of a Company-initiated registration subject to Section 2.2 below; provided that the Company is actively employing in good faith its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective;
(iv) if the Initiating Holders propose to dispose of Registrable Securities that may be registered on Form S-3 pursuant to Section 2.3 hereof; or
(v) if the Company shall furnish to Holders a Suspension Notice, in which event the Company shall have the right to defer such filing for a period of not more than ninety (90) days after receipt of the request of the Initiating Holders; provided that such right and the rights under Sections 2.3(b)(iii), 2.3(d)(i)(1), 2.3(d)(ii) and 2.4 shall be exercised by the Company not more than once in any twelve (12)-month period; provided, further, that the Company shall not register any securities for the account of itself or any other stockholder during such ninety (90)-day period (other than a registration relating solely to the sale of securities of participants in a Company stock plan, a registration relating to a corporate reorganization or transaction under Rule 145 of the Act, or a registration in which the only Common Stock being registered is Common Stock issuable upon conversion of debt securities that are also being registered).
6
(d) The Institutional Holder or Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities, excluding for this purpose any Registrable Securities held by a Strategic Investor or a Competitor Transferee, as the case may be, initially requesting registration hereunder will have the right to select the underwriter or underwriters in an offering under a registration pursuant to this Section 2.1, which underwriter or underwriters shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company.
2.2 Company Registration.
(a) If (but without any obligation to do so) the Company proposes to register (including for this purpose a registration effected by the Company for stockholders other than the Holders) any of its stock or other securities under the Act in connection with the public offering of such securities (other than (i) a registration relating to a demand pursuant to Section 2.1 of this Agreement or (ii) a registration relating solely to the sale of securities of participants in a Company stock plan, a registration relating to a corporate reorganization or transaction under Rule 145 of the Act, or a registration in which the only Common Stock being registered is Common Stock issuable upon conversion of debt securities that are also being registered), the Company shall, at such time, promptly give each Holder written notice of such registration. Upon the written request of each Holder given within twenty (20) days after sending of such notice by the Company in accordance with Section 4.5 of this Agreement, the Company shall, subject to the provisions of Section 2.2(c) of this Agreement, use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause to be registered under the Act all of the Registrable Securities that each such Holder requests to be registered.
(b) Right to Terminate Registration. The Company shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under this Section 2.2 prior to the effectiveness of such registration whether or not any Holder has elected to include securities in such registration. The expenses of such withdrawn registration shall be borne by the Company in accordance with Section 2.6 hereof.
(c) Underwriting Requirements. In connection with any offering involving an underwriting of shares of the Companys capital stock, the Company shall not be required under this Section 2.2 to include any of the Holders securities in such underwriting unless they accept the terms of the underwriting as agreed upon between the Company and the underwriters selected by the Company (or by other Persons entitled to select the underwriters) and enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with such underwriters, and then only in such quantity as the underwriters determine in their sole discretion will not jeopardize the success of the offering by the Company. If the total amount of securities, including Registrable Securities, requested by stockholders to be included in such offering exceeds the amount of securities sold other than by the Company that the underwriters determine in their sole discretion is compatible with the success of the offering, then the Company shall be required to include in the offering only that number of such securities, including Registrable Securities, that the underwriters determine in their sole discretion will not jeopardize the success of the offering. In the event that the underwriters determine that less than all of the Registrable Securities requested to be registered can be included in such offering, then the Registrable Securities that are included in such offering shall be apportioned pro rata among the selling Holders based on the number of Registrable Securities held by all selling Holders or in such other proportions as shall mutually be agreed to
7
by all such selling Holders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall (i) any Registrable Securities be excluded from such offering unless all other stockholders securities have been first excluded from the offering, (ii) the amount of securities of the selling Holders included in the offering be reduced below twenty percent (20%) of the total amount of securities included in such offering, unless such offering is the Initial Offering, in which case the selling Holders may be excluded if the underwriters make the determination described above and no other stockholders securities are included in such offering or (iii) any securities held by a Common Holder be included in such offering if any Registrable Securities held by any Holder other than a Common Holder (and that such Holder has requested to be registered) are excluded from such offering. For purposes of the preceding sentence concerning apportionment, for any selling stockholder that is a Holder of Registrable Securities and that is a venture capital fund, private equity fund, partnership or corporation, the affiliated venture capital funds, private equity funds, partners, members, retired partners and stockholders of such Holder, or the estates and family members of any such partners, members and retired partners and any trusts for the benefit of any of the foregoing Persons shall be deemed to be a single selling Holder, and any pro rata reduction with respect to such selling Holder shall be based upon the aggregate amount of Registrable Securities owned by all such related entities and individuals.
2.3 Form S-3 Registration. In case the Company shall receive from (a) any Institutional Holder or (b) the Holders of at least thirty percent (30%) of the Registrable Securities, excluding for all purposes under clause (b) any Registrable Securities held by a Strategic Investor or a Competitor Transferee (for purposes of this Section 2.3, the S-3 Initiating Holders), a written request or requests that the Company effect a registration on Form S-3 and any related qualification or compliance with respect to all or a part of the Registrable Securities owned by such Holder or Holders, the Company shall:
(a) promptly give written notice of the proposed registration, and any related qualification or compliance, to all other Holders; and
(b) use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect, as soon as practicable, such registration and all such qualifications and compliances as may be so requested and as would permit or facilitate the sale and distribution of all or such portion of such Holders Registrable Securities as are specified in such request, together with all or such portion of the Registrable Securities of any other Holders joining in such request as are specified in a written request given within fifteen (15) days after receipt of such written notice from the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to effect any such registration, qualification or compliance, pursuant to this Section 2.3:
(i) if Form S-3 is not available for such offering by the Holders;
(ii) if the Holders, together with the holders of any other securities of the Company entitled to inclusion in such registration, propose to sell Registrable Securities and such other securities (if any) at an aggregate price to the public (net of any underwriters discounts or commissions) of less than $5,000,000;
8
(iii) if the Company shall furnish to all Holders a Suspension Notice, in which event the Company shall have the right to defer such filing for a period of not more than ninety (90) days after receipt of the request of the S-3 Initiating Holders; provided that such right and the rights under Sections 2.1(c)(v), 2.3(d)(i)(1), 2.3(d)(ii) and 2.4 shall be exercised by the Company not more than once in any twelve (12)-month period; provided, further, that the Company shall not register any securities for the account of itself or any other stockholder during such ninety (90)-day period (other than a registration relating solely to the sale of securities of participants in a Company stock plan, a registration relating to a corporate reorganization or transaction under Rule 145 of the Act, or a registration in which the only Common Stock being registered is Common Stock issuable upon conversion of debt securities that are also being registered);
(iv) if the Company has, within the twelve (12)-month period preceding the date of such request, already effected two (2) registrations on Form S-3 pursuant to this Section 2.3;
(v) in any particular jurisdiction in which the Company would be required to qualify to do business or to execute a general consent to service of process in effecting such registration, qualification or compliance, unless the Company is already qualified to do business in such jurisdiction or subject to service of process in such jurisdiction and except as may be required under the Act;
(vi) if the Company, within thirty (30) days of receipt of the request of such S-3 Initiating Holders, gives notice of its bona fide intention to effect the filing of a registration statement with the SEC within one hundred twenty (120) days of receipt of such request (other than a registration relating solely to the sale of securities of participants in a Company stock plan, a registration relating to a corporate reorganization or transaction under Rule 145 of the Act, or a registration in which the only Common Stock being registered is Common Stock issuable upon conversion of debt securities that are also being registered); provided that the Company is actively employing in good faith its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective; or
(vii) during the period starting with the date thirty (30) days prior to the Companys good faith estimate of the date of the filing of and ending on a date ninety (90) days following the effective date of a Company-initiated registration subject to Section 2.2 of this Agreement; provided that the Company is actively employing in good faith its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective.
(c) Following the effectiveness of the Form S-3, any Institutional Holder or any other S-3 Initiating Holder (each, as applicable, a Take-Down Initiating Holder and each other such party, as applicable, a Non-Initiating Holder) may at any time and from time to time initiate an offering or sale of all or part of the Registrable Securities (a Shelf Take-Down), subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement, by delivering notice of such initiation to the Company as set forth herein.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if, in the case of an Underwritten Shelf Take-Down, the total amount of securities, including Registrable Securities, requested by stockholders to be included in such offering exceeds the amount of securities sold that the underwriters determine in their sole discretion is compatible with the success of the offering, then the Registrable Securities that are included in such offering shall be apportioned pro rata among the selling Holders based on the number of Registrable Securities held by all selling Holders or in such other proportions as shall mutually be agreed to by all such selling Holders; provided, however, that no Registrable Securities shall be excluded from such Underwritten Shelf Take-Down unless all other securities of the Company are first excluded.
(g) Subject to the foregoing, the Company shall file a registration statement covering the Registrable Securities and other securities so requested to be registered as soon as practicable after receipt of the request or requests of the S-3 Initiating Holders.

(f) notify each Holder of Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement at any time when a prospectus or Free Writing Prospectus (to the extent prepared by or on behalf of the Company) relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Act of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing, and, at the request of any such Holder, the Company will, as soon as reasonably practicable, file and furnish to all such Holders a supplement or amendment to such prospectus or Free Writing Prospectus (to the extent prepared by or on behalf of the Company) so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such Registrable Securities, such prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances under which they were made;
(g) cause all such Registrable Securities registered pursuant to this Section 2 to be listed on a national securities exchange or trading system and on each securities
12
exchange and trading system (if any) on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed;
(h) provide a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable Securities registered pursuant to this Agreement and a CUSIP number for all such Registrable Securities, in each case not later than the effective date of such registration;
(i) make available for inspection by any seller of Registrable Securities, any underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to such registration statement, and any attorney, accountant, or other agent retained by any such seller or underwriter, all financial and other records, pertinent corporate and business documents and properties of the Company as shall be necessary to enable them to exercise their due diligence responsibility, and cause the Companys officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives, and independent accountants to supply all such information reasonably requested by any such seller, underwriter, attorney, accountant, or agent in connection with such registration statement;
(j) use its best efforts to furnish, on the date that such Registrable Securities are delivered to the underwriters for sale (if such securities are being sold through underwriters) or the pricing or closing date of the applicable offering or sale (in the case of a non-underwritten offering), (i) a cold comfort and bring-down letter, dated as of such date, from the independent certified public accountants of the Company, in form and substance as is customarily given by independent certified public accountants to underwriters in an underwritten public offering, (ii) customary certificates executed by authorized officers of the Company as may be requested by any Holder or any underwriter of such Registrable Securities and (iii) make available to the appropriate representatives of the underwriters, if any, and any Holder access to such information and Company personnel as is reasonable and customary to enable such parties to establish a due diligence defense under the Act;
(k) use best efforts to obtain an opinion from the Companys outside counsel in customary form and covering such matters of the type customarily covered by such opinions, which opinion shall be addressed to the underwriters and the holders of such Registrable Securities;
(l) in connection with a Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down or an underwritten offering pursuant to Section 2.3(c), use its best efforts to make available the executive officers of the Company to participate with the holders of Registrable Securities and any underwriters in any road shows or other marketing and selling efforts that may be reasonably requested by the holders in connection with the methods of distribution for the Registrable Securities;
(m) otherwise use its best efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC, and make available to its security holders, as soon as reasonably practicable, an earnings statement covering the period of at least twelve (12) months, beginning with the first (1st) day of the Companys first (1st) full fiscal quarter after the effective date of the registration statement, which earnings statement shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Act and Rule 158 thereunder;
13
(n) permit any holder of Registrable Securities, which holder, in its sole and exclusive judgment, might be deemed to be an underwriter or a controlling person of the Company to participate in the preparation of such registration or comparable statement and to require the insertion therein of material, furnished to the Company in writing, which in the reasonable judgment of such holder and its counsel should be included;
(o) in the event of the issuance of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a registration statement, or of any order suspending or preventing the use of any related prospectus or suspending the qualification of any securities included in such registration statement for sale in any jurisdiction, the Company will use its best efforts promptly to obtain the withdrawal of such order; and
(p) use its best efforts to take such other steps necessary to effect the registration and sale of the Registrable Securities contemplated hereby.
Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 2, the Company shall be entitled to postpone or suspend the filing, effectiveness or use of, or trading under, any registration statement if the Company shall determine that any such filing or the sale of any securities pursuant to such registration statement would in the good faith judgment of the Board:
(i) materially impede, delay or interfere with any material pending or proposed financing, acquisition, corporate reorganization or other similar transaction involving the Company for which the Board has authorized negotiations;
(ii) materially and adversely impair the consummation of any pending or proposed material offering or sale of any class of securities by the Company; or
(iii) require disclosure of material nonpublic information that, if disclosed at such time, would be materially harmful to the interests of the Company and its stockholders; provided, however, that during any such period all executive officers and directors of the Company are also prohibited from selling securities of the Company (or any security of any of the Companys subsidiaries or affiliates);
provided that such right and the rights under Sections 2.1(c)(v), 2.3(b)(iii), 2.3(d)(i)(1) and 2.3(d)(ii) shall be exercised by the Company not more than once in any twelve (12)-month period; provided, further, that the Company shall not register any securities for the account of itself or any other stockholder during such ninety (90)-day period (other than a registration relating solely to the sale of securities of participants in a Company stock plan, a registration relating to a corporate reorganization or transaction under Rule 145 of the Act, or a registration in which the only Common Stock being registered is Common Stock issuable upon conversion of debt securities that are also being registered).
In the event of the suspension of effectiveness of any registration statement pursuant to this Section 2.4, the applicable time period during which such registration statement is to remain effective shall be extended by that number of days equal to the number of days the effectiveness of such registration statement was suspended.
2.5 Information from Holder.
14
It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to take any action pursuant to this Section 2 with respect to the Registrable Securities of any selling Holder that such Holder shall promptly furnish to the Company such information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it, and the intended method of disposition of such securities as shall be reasonably required to effect the registration of such Holders Registrable Securities.
2.6 Expenses of Registration. All expenses other than underwriting discounts and commissions incurred in connection with registrations, filings or qualifications pursuant to Sections 2.1, 2.2 and 2.3 of this Agreement, including, without limitation, all registration, filing and qualification fees, printers and accounting fees, fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company and the reasonable fees and disbursements of one (1) counsel for the selling Holders (not to exceed $30,000) shall be borne by the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to pay for any expenses of any registration proceeding begun pursuant to Section 2.1 or Section 2.3 of this Agreement if the registration request is subsequently withdrawn at the request of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities to be registered (in which case all participating Holders shall bear such expenses pro rata based upon the number of Registrable Securities that were to be included in the withdrawn registration) unless, in the case of a registration requested under Section 2.1 of this Agreement, the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities agree to forfeit their right to one (1) demand registration pursuant to Section 2.1 of this Agreement; provided, however, that if at the time of such withdrawal, the Holders have learned of a material adverse change in the condition, business or prospects of the Company from that known to the Holders at the time of their request and have withdrawn the request with reasonable promptness following disclosure by the Company of such material adverse change, then the Holders shall not be required to pay any of such expenses and shall retain their rights pursuant to Sections 2.1 of this Agreement.
2.7 Delay of Registration. No Holder shall have any right to obtain or seek an injunction restraining or otherwise delaying any such registration as the result of any controversy that might arise with respect to the interpretation or implementation of this Section 2.
2.8 Indemnification. In the event any Registrable Securities are included in a registration statement under this Section 2:
(a) To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, the partners, members, officers, directors and stockholders of each Holder, legal counsel, accountants and investment advisers for each Holder, any underwriter (as defined in the Act) for such Holder and each Person, if any, who controls such Holder or underwriter within the meaning of the Act or the 1934 Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (joint or several) to which they may become subject under the Act, the 1934 Act, any state securities laws or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Act, the 1934 Act or any state securities laws, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (or actions or proceedings,
15
whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any of the following statements, omissions or violations (collectively, a Violation): (i) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in such registration statement, including any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, or Free Writing Prospectus contained therein or any amendments or supplements thereto, any issuer information (as defined in Rule 433 of the Act) filed or required to be filed pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Act or any other document incident to such registration prepared by or on behalf of the Company or used or referred to by the Company; (ii) the omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated in such registration statement, or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; or (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Act, the 1934 Act, any state securities laws or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Act, the 1934 Act or any state securities laws, and the Company will reimburse each such Holder, underwriter, controlling Person or other aforementioned Person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability, action or proceeding as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 2.8(a) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability, action or proceeding if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), nor shall the Company be liable in any such case for any such loss, claim, damage, liability, action or proceeding to the extent that it arises out of or is based upon a Violation that occurs in reliance upon, and in conformity with, written information furnished expressly for use in connection with such registration by any such Holder, underwriter, controlling Person or other aforementioned Person.
(b) To the extent permitted by law, each selling Holder, severally and not jointly, will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who has signed the registration statement, each Person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Act, legal counsel and accountants for the Company, any underwriter, any other Holder selling securities in such registration statement and any controlling Person of any such underwriter or other Holder, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (joint or several) to which any of the foregoing Persons may become subject, under the Act, the 1934 Act, any state securities laws or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Act, the 1934 Act or any state securities laws, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in each case to the extent (and only to the extent) that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by such Holder expressly for use in connection with such registration; and each such Holder will reimburse any Person intended to be indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.8(b) for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Person in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability, action or proceeding as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 2.8(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability, action or proceeding if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Holder (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld); provided, further, that in no event shall any indemnity under this Section 2.8(b) exceed the net proceeds from the offering received by such Holder.
(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 2.8 of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding (including any
16
governmental action or proceeding) for which a party may be entitled to indemnification, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 2.8, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the parties; provided, however, that an indemnified party (together with all other indemnified parties that may be represented without conflict by one (1) counsel) shall have the right to retain one (1) separate counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if representation of such indemnified party by the counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such indemnified party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action or proceeding, if prejudicial to its ability to defend such action or proceeding, shall relieve such indemnifying party of liability to the indemnified party under this Section 2.8 to the extent of such prejudice, but the omission to so deliver written notice to the indemnifying party will not relieve such indemnifying party of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 2.8.
(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 2.8 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense referred to herein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party hereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided, however, that (i) no contribution by any Holder, when combined with any amounts paid by such Holder pursuant to Section 2.8(b), shall exceed the net proceeds from the offering received by such Holder and (ii) no Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) will be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation; provided, further, that in no event shall a Holders liability pursuant to this Section 2.8(d), when combined with the amounts paid or payable by such Holder pursuant to Section 2.8(b), exceed the proceeds from the offering received by such Holder (net of any expenses paid by such Holder). The relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.
(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the provisions on indemnification and contribution contained in the underwriting agreement entered into in connection with the underwritten public offering are in conflict with the foregoing provisions, the provisions in the underwriting agreement shall control.
17
(f) The obligations of the Company and Holders under this Section 2.8 shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in a registration statement under this Section 2 and otherwise.
2.9 Reports Under the 1934 Act. With a view to making available to the Holders the benefits of Rule 144 and any other rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit a Holder to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration or pursuant to a registration on Form S-3, the Company agrees to:
(a) make and keep adequate current public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144, at all times after the effective date of the Initial Offering;
(b) file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Act and the 1934 Act; provided the Company has become subject to such reporting requirements; and
(c) furnish to any Holder, so long as the Holder owns any Registrable Securities, forthwith upon request (i) a written statement by the Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements of Rule 144 (at any time after ninety (90) days after the effective date of the first (1st) registration statement filed by the Company), the Act and the 1934 Act (at any time after it has become subject to such reporting requirements), or that it qualifies as a registrant whose securities may be resold pursuant to Form S-3 (at any time after it so qualifies), (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company and (iii) such other information as may be reasonably requested to avail any Holder of any rule or regulation of the SEC that permits the selling of any such securities without registration or pursuant to such form.
2.10 Assignment of Registration Rights. The rights to cause the Company to register Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 2 may be assigned (but only with all related obligations) (a) by an Institutional Holder, an Advised Investor or a Series F Advised Investor to a Permitted Transferee and (b) by any other Holder to a transferee or assignee of such securities that (i) is an Affiliate, subsidiary, parent, partner, limited partner, retired partner, member or stockholder of such Holder, or (ii) is such Holders family member or trust for the benefit of an individual Holder or any of such Holders family members; provided, in each case, that: (A) the Company is, within a reasonable time after such transfer, furnished with written notice of the name and address of such transferee or assignee and the securities with respect to which such registration rights are being assigned; (B) such transferee or assignee agrees in writing to be bound by and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement; and (C) such assignment shall be effective only if immediately following such transfer the further disposition of such securities by the transferee or assignee is restricted under the Act.
2.11 Limitations on Subsequent Registration Rights.
18
From and after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the Holders holding a majority of the Registrable Securities then held by all Holders (excluding for purposes of this Section 2.11 any Registrable Securities held by a Strategic Investor or a Competitor Transferee) enter into any agreement with any holder or prospective holder of any securities of the Company that would allow such holder or prospective holder (a) to include any of such securities in any registration filed under Section 2.1, Section 2.2 or Section 2.3 of this Agreement, unless under the terms of such agreement, such holder or prospective holder may include such securities in any such registration only to the extent that the inclusion of such securities will not reduce the amount of the Registrable Securities of the Holders that are included or (b) to demand registration of their securities.
2.12 Termination of Registration Rights. No Holder shall be entitled to exercise any right provided for in this Section 2: (a) after five (5) years following the consummation of the Initial Offering, (b) as to any Holder, such earlier time after the Initial Offering at which such Holder (i) can sell all shares held by it in compliance with Rule 144(b)(1)(i) or (ii) holds one percent (1%) or less of the Companys outstanding Common Stock and all Registrable Securities held by such Holder (together with any Affiliate of the Holder with whom such Holder must aggregate its sales under Rule 144) can be sold in any three (3)-month period without registration in compliance with Rule 144 or (c) after the consummation of a Liquidation Event (as defined in the Certificate).
3. Covenants of the Company.
3.1 Delivery of Financial Statements.
(a) The Company shall, upon request, deliver to (I) each Investor (or transferee of an Investor) that holds at least 1,800,000 shares of Registrable Securities (appropriately adjusted for any stock split, dividend, combination or other recapitalization, and each Advised Investor (each, a Major Investor), (II) each Series F Advised Investor and (III) each Information Rights Investor (or transferee of an Information Rights Investor):
(i) as soon as practicable, but in any event within one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company, an income statement for such fiscal year, a balance sheet of the Company and statement of stockholders equity as of the end of such year, and a statement of cash flows for such year, such year-end financial reports to be in reasonable detail, prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and audited and certified by independent public accountants of nationally recognized standing selected by the Company;
(ii) as soon as practicable, but in any event within forty-five (45) days after the end of each of the first three (3) quarters of each fiscal year of the Company, an unaudited income statement and statement of cash flows for such fiscal quarter and an unaudited balance sheet as of the end of such fiscal quarter, all prepared in accordance with GAAP (except
19
that such financial statements may (A) be subject to normal year-end audit adjustments and (B) not contain all notes thereto that may be required in accordance with GAAP); and
(iii) with respect to Major Investors only, such other information relating to the financial condition, business or corporate affairs of the Company as any Major Investor, other than any Major Investor which is a Strategic Investor or a Competitor Transferee may from time to time reasonably request;
provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated under Section 3.1 to provide information that (A) it deems in good faith to be a trade secret or similar confidential information or (B) the disclosure of which would adversely affect the attorney-client privilege between the Company and its counsel.
(b) If, for any period, the Company has any subsidiary whose accounts are consolidated with those of the Company, then in respect of such period the financial statements delivered pursuant to the foregoing sections shall be the consolidated and consolidating financial statements of the Company and all such consolidated subsidiaries. Notwithstanding anything else in this Section 3.1 to the contrary, the Company may cease providing the information set forth in this Section 3.1 during the period starting with the date thirty (30) days before the Companys good-faith estimate of the date of filing of a registration statement if it reasonably concludes it must do so to comply with the SEC rules applicable to such registration statement and related offering; provided that the Companys covenants under this Section 3.1 shall be reinstated at such time as the Company is no longer actively employing its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective.
(c) The Company shall promptly and accurately respond, and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause its transfer agent to promptly respond, to requests for information made on behalf of any Advised Investor or Series F Advised Investor relating to (i) accounting or securities law matters required in connection with its audit or (ii) the actual holdings of such Advised Investor or Series F Advised Investor, including in relation to the total outstanding shares; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to provide any such information that could reasonably result in a violation of applicable law or conflict with a confidentiality obligation of the Company.
3.2 Inspection. The Company shall permit each Major Investor, other than any Major Investor which is a Strategic Investor or a Competitor Transferee, at such Major Investors expense, to visit and inspect the Companys properties, to examine its books of account and records and to discuss the Companys affairs, finances and accounts with its officers, all at such reasonable times as may be requested by the Major Investor; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated pursuant to this Section 3.2 to provide access to any information that (a) it deems in good faith to be a trade secret or similar confidential information or (b) the disclosure of which would adversely affect the attorney-client privilege between the Company and its counsel.
3.3 Termination of Information and Inspection Covenants.
20
The covenants set forth in Sections 3.1 and 3.2 shall terminate and be of no further force or effect upon the earlier to occur of (a) the consummation of the sale of securities pursuant to a registration statement filed by the Company under the Act in connection with the firm commitment underwritten offering of its securities to the general public, (b) when the Company first becomes subject to the periodic reporting requirements of Sections 12(g) or 15(d) of the 1934 Act, whichever event shall first occur and (c) the consummation of a Liquidation Event. In the event the consideration received by the Major Investors in a Liquidation Event includes securities of a private company, the Company will use all commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the Major Investors continue to have information rights needed to meet their obligations to report the value of such holdings to the investors in such Major Investors.
3.4 Right of First Offer. Subject to the terms and conditions specified in this Section 3.4, the Company hereby grants to each Major Investor a right of first offer with respect to future sales by the Company of its Shares (as defined below). For purposes of this Section 3.4, the term Major Investor includes any general partners and Affiliates of a Major Investor. A Major Investor shall be entitled to apportion the right of first offer hereby granted it among itself and its partners and Affiliates in such proportions as it deems appropriate.
Each time the Company proposes to offer any shares of, or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any shares of, its capital stock (Shares), the Company shall first make an offering of such Shares to each Major Investor in accordance with the following provisions:
(a) The Company shall deliver a notice in accordance with Section 4.5 (Notice) to the Major Investors stating (i) its bona fide intention to offer such Shares, (ii) the number of such Shares to be offered and (iii) the price and terms upon which it proposes to offer such Shares.
(b) By written notification received by the Company within twenty (20) calendar days after the giving of Notice, each Major Investor may elect to purchase, at the price and on the terms specified in the Notice, up to that portion of such Shares that equals the proportion that the number of shares of Registrable Securities issued and held by such Major Investor (assuming full conversion and exercise of all convertible and exercisable securities then outstanding) bears to the total number of shares of Common Stock of the Company then outstanding (assuming full conversion and exercise of all convertible and exercisable securities then outstanding). At the expiration of such twenty (20) day period, the Company shall promptly notify each Major Investor that elects to purchase or acquire all the Shares available to it (each, a Fully Exercising Investor) of any other Major Investors failure to do likewise. During the ten (10) day period commencing after the Company has given such notice, each Fully Exercising Investor may, by giving notice to the Company, elect to purchase or acquire, in addition to the number of Shares specified above, up to that portion of the Shares for which Major Investors were entitled to subscribe but that were not subscribed for by the Major Investors which is equal to the proportion that the Common Stock of the Company issued and held by such Fully Exercising Investor (assuming full conversion and exercise of all convertible and exercisable securities then outstanding) bears to the Common Stock of the Company then issued and held by all Fully
21
Exercising Investors who wish to purchase such unsubscribed Shares (assuming full conversion and exercise of all convertible and exercisable securities then outstanding). The closing of any sale pursuant to this Section 3.4(b) shall occur within the later of ninety (90) days of the date that the Offer Notice is given and the date of initial sale of Shares pursuant to Section 3.4(c).
(c) If all Shares that Major Investors are entitled to obtain pursuant to Section 3.4(b) of this Agreement are not elected to be obtained as provided in Section 3.4(b) of this Agreement, the Company may, during the ninety (90)-day period following the expiration of the period provided in Section 3.4(b) of this Agreement, offer the remaining unsubscribed portion of such Shares to any Person or Persons at a price not less than that, and upon terms no more favorable to the offeree than those, specified in the Notice. If the Company does not enter into an agreement for the sale of the Shares within such period, or if such agreement is not consummated within sixty (60) days of the execution thereof, the right provided hereunder shall be deemed to be revived and such Shares shall not be offered unless first reoffered to the Major Investors in accordance herewith.
(d) The right of first offer in this Section 3.4 shall not be applicable to (i) the issuance or sale of shares of Common Stock (or options therefor) to employees, directors, consultants and other service providers for the primary purpose of soliciting or retaining their services pursuant to plans or agreements approved by the Board; (ii) the issuance of securities pursuant to an underwritten public offering of shares of Common Stock registered under the Act; (iii) the issuance of securities pursuant to the conversion or exercise of convertible or exercisable securities; (iv) the issuance of securities in connection with a bona fide business acquisition by the Company, whether by merger, consolidation, sale of assets, sale or exchange of stock or otherwise; (v) the issuance of stock, warrants or other securities or rights pursuant to any equipment leasing arrangement or debt financing arrangement, which arrangement is approved by the Board and is primarily for non-equity financing purposes; or (vi) the issuance of securities that are not offered to any existing stockholder of the Company and are issued with unanimous approval of the Board and such approval of the Board specifically states that such securities shall not be subject to this Section 3.4. In addition to the foregoing, the right of first offer in this Section 3.4 shall not be applicable with respect to any Major Investor in any subsequent offering of Shares if (A) at the time of such offering, the Major Investor is not an accredited investor, as that term is then defined in Rule 501(a) of the Act and (B) such offering of Shares is otherwise being offered only to accredited investors.
(e) The rights provided in this Section 3.4 may not be assigned or transferred by any Major Investor; provided, however, that a Major Investor that is or is an Affiliate of a venture capital fund, private equity fund or other investment fund may assign or transfer such rights to its Affiliates.
(f) In the event that the rights of an Advised Investor to purchase New Securities under this Section 3.4 are waived with respect to a particular offering of New Securities without such Advised Investors prior written consent (a Waived Investor) and any Major Investor that participated in waiving such rights actually purchases New Securities in such offering, then the Company shall grant, and hereby grants, each Waived Investor the right to purchase, in a subsequent closing of such issuance on substantially the same terms and conditions,
22
the same percentage of its full pro rata share of such New Securities as the highest percentage of any such purchasing Major Investor.
(g) The covenants set forth in this Section 3.4 shall terminate and be of no further force or effect upon the consummation of (i) the Companys sale of its Common Stock or other securities pursuant to Registration Statement under the Act (other than a registration statement relating either to the sale of securities to employees of the Company pursuant to its stock option, stock purchase or similar plan or a SEC Rule 145 transaction) or (ii) a Liquidation Event.
3.5 Proprietary Information and Inventions Agreements. The Company shall require all employees and consultants with access to confidential information to execute and deliver a Proprietary Information and Inventions Agreement or a consulting agreement containing substantially similar proprietary rights assignment and confidentiality provisions.
3.6 Employee Agreements. Unless approved by the Board or the Compensation Committee of the Board, all future employees of the Company who shall purchase, or receive options to purchase, shares of Common Stock following the date hereof shall be required to execute stock purchase or option agreements providing for (a) vesting of shares over a four (4)-year period with the first twenty five percent (25%) of such shares vesting following twelve (12) months of continued employment or services, and the remaining shares vesting in equal monthly installments over the following thirty six (36) months thereafter and (b) a one hundred and eighty (180)-day lockup period in connection with the Initial Public Offering. The Company shall retain a right of first refusal on transfers until the Initial Public Offering and the right to repurchase unvested shares at the lower of cost or the fair market value of the shares at the time of such repurchase.
3.7 Indemnification Matters; Insurance.
(a) The Company hereby acknowledges that one (1) or more of the directors nominated to serve on the Board by the Investors (each a Fund Director) may have certain rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and/or insurance provided by one or more of the Investors and certain of their affiliates (collectively, the Fund Indemnitors). The Company hereby agrees (i) that it is the indemnitor of first resort (i.e., its obligations to any such Fund Director are primary and any obligation of the Fund Indemnitors to advance expenses or to provide indemnification for the same expenses or liabilities incurred by such Fund Director are secondary), (ii) that it shall be required to advance the full amount of expenses incurred by such Fund Director and shall be liable for the full amount of all expenses, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement by or on behalf of any such Fund Director to the extent legally permitted and as required by the Certificate or Bylaws of the Company (or any agreement between the Company and such Fund Director), without regard to any rights such Fund Director may have against the Fund Indemnitors and (iii) that it irrevocably waives, relinquishes and releases the Fund Indemnitors from any and all claims against the Fund Indemnitors for contribution, subrogation or any other recovery of any kind in respect thereof.

3.8 Confidentiality.
(a) Each Investor agrees, severally and not jointly, to use the same degree of care, but no less than a reasonable degree of care, as such Investor uses with respect to its own information of a similar nature for any information obtained pursuant to this Agreement or in such Investors capacity as a Company stockholder, including, for the avoidance of doubt, the existence and terms of such Investors investment(s) in the Company, which the Company either identifies as being proprietary or confidential or that by its nature should be understood by a reasonable person to be proprietary or confidential, and such Investor acknowledges that it will not, unless otherwise required by law or the rules of any national securities exchange, association or marketplace, disclose such information without the prior written consent of the Company except such information that (i) was in the public domain prior to the time it was furnished to such Investor, (ii) is or becomes (through no willful improper action or inaction by such Investor) generally available to the public, (iii) was in its possession or known by such Investor without restriction prior to receipt from the Company, (iv) was rightfully disclosed to such Investor by a third party without restriction or (v) was independently developed without any use of the Companys confidential information.

Furthermore, nothing contained herein shall prevent any Investor or any Permitted Disclosee from (1) entering into any business, entering into any agreement with a third party, or investing in or engaging in investment discussions with any other company (whether or not competitive with the Company); provided that such Investor or Permitted Disclosee does not, except as permitted in accordance with this Section 3.8, disclose or otherwise make use of any proprietary or confidential information of the Company in connection with such activities, or (2) making any disclosures required by law, rule, regulation or court or other
24
governmental order. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of any Fidelity Investor, Baillie Gifford Investor or BlackRock Investor, such Fidelity Investor, Baillie Gifford Investor or BlackRock Investor, as applicable, may identify the Company and the value of such Fidelity Investors, Baillie Gifford Investors or BlackRock Investors security holdings in the Company, as applicable, in accordance with applicable investment reporting and disclosure regulations or internal policies and respond to examinations, demands, requests or reporting requirements of a regulatory authority without prior notice to or consent from the Company. For purposes of this Section 3.8, each Investor shall remain responsible for the acts and omissions of its Permitted Disclosees as if they were the acts and omissions of the Investor.
(b) An Investors obligations set forth in Section 3.8(a) shall terminate and be of no further force or effect upon the earlier to occur of (i) the consummation of the sale of securities pursuant to a registration statement filed by the Company under the Act in connection with the firm commitment underwritten offering of its securities to the general public, and (ii) the third (3rd) anniversary after such date that such Investor ceases to hold any securities in the Company.
3.9 Observer Rights.
(a) As long as the Wellington Investors own, collectively, at least 2,308,000 shares (appropriately adjusted for any stock split, dividend, combination or other recapitalization) of Series E Preferred Stock (or an equivalent amount of Common Stock issued upon conversion thereof), the Company shall invite one (1) representative of the Wellington Investors, collectively to attend all meetings of its Board in a nonvoting observer capacity and, in this respect, shall give such representative copies of all notices, minutes, consents and other materials that it provides to its directors; provided, however, that all information so provided shall be subject to Section 3.8 hereof; provided, further, that the Company reserves the right to withhold any information and to exclude such representative from any meeting or portion thereof if (a) access to such information or attendance at such meeting could (i) adversely affect the attorney-client privilege between the Company and its counsel or (ii) result in disclosure of trade secrets or similar confidential information to such representative or (b) such representative is affiliated with a Competitor of the Company. For clarity, the Wellington Investors are responsible for the acts and omissions of any such observer as their Permitted Disclosee for purposes of Section 3.8 hereof.
(b) As long as the Fidelity Investors own, collectively, at least 3,464,000 shares (appropriately adjusted for any stock split, dividend, combination or other recapitalization) of Series E Preferred Stock (or an equivalent amount of Common Stock issued upon conversion thereof), the Company shall invite one (1) representative of the Fidelity Investors, collectively to attend all meetings of its Board in a nonvoting observer capacity and, in this respect, shall give such representative copies of all notices, minutes, consents and other materials that it provides to its directors; provided, however, that all information so provided shall be subject to Section 3.8 hereof; provided, further, that the Company reserves the right to withhold any information and to exclude such representative from any meeting or portion thereof if (a) access to such information or attendance at such meeting could (i) adversely affect the attorney-client
25
privilege between the Company and its counsel or (ii) result in disclosure of trade secrets or similar confidential information to such representative or (b) such representative is affiliated with a Competitor of the Company. For clarity, the Fidelity Investors are responsible for the acts and omissions of any such observer as their Permitted Disclosee for purposes of Section 3.8 hereof.
3.10 Directed IPO Shares. If an Initial Offering is undertaken by the Company, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the managing underwriter(s) of the Initial Offering to designate to TCV under a directed share program on the same terms being offered to the public investors in the Initial Offering the right to purchase shares of Common Stock with an aggregate purchase price of up to $50,000,000 to be determined by TCV in its sole discretion. The shares designated by the managing underwriter(s) under the directed share program are referred to as the directed shares. TCV acknowledges that, despite the Companys use of its commercially reasonable efforts, the underwriter(s) may determine in their sole discretion that it is not advisable to designate all such shares as directed shares in the Initial Offering, in which case the number of directed shares may be reduced or no directed shares may be designated, as applicable. To the extent that TCV is not designated the right to purchase all such directed shares in the Initial Offering by the managing underwriter(s) in accordance with this Section 3.10, the Company shall offer to sell to TCV in a concurrent private placement transaction that is exempt from the Act, the amount of Common Stock not designated to TCV as directed shares pursuant to this Section 3.10 on the same terms and conditions as the shares sold to the public in the Initial Offering. To the extent TCV elects to purchase any shares of Common Stock from the Company, such shares will become Registrable Securities under this Agreement. TCV acknowledges that notwithstanding the terms of this Agreement, the designation of directed shares by the managing underwriter(s) will only be made in compliance with FINRA Rules 2010 and 5130 and federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations.
3.11 Termination of Certain Covenants. The covenants set forth in Sections 3.5, 3.6, 3.9 and 3.10 shall terminate and be of no further force or effect upon the consummation of (a) the Companys sale of its Common Stock or other securities pursuant to Registration Statement under the Act (other than a registration statement relating either to the sale of securities to employees of the Company pursuant to its stock option, stock purchase or similar plan or a transaction under Rule 145 of the Act) or (b) a Liquidation Event.
3.12 Right to Conduct Activities. The Company acknowledges that the execution of this Agreement and the access to the Companys confidential information hereunder shall in no way be construed to prohibit or restrict the use by an Advised Investor or a Series F Advised Investor or its associated Advisory Entity or such Advisory Entitys other investment advisory clients of residuals resulting from access to the Companys confidential information in connection with the maintaining, making or considering investments in public or private companies, including, without limitation, companies that may compete either directly or indirectly with the Company, or from otherwise operating in the ordinary course of business; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not relieve any of the
26
Advised Investors or any of the Series F Advised Investors from liability associated with the unauthorized disclosure of the Companys confidential information obtained pursuant to this Agreement. The term residuals means information in non-tangible form, which may be retained solely in the unaided memories of persons who have access to confidential information.
3.13 FCPA. The Company represents that it shall not, and shall not permit any of its subsidiaries or affiliates or any of its or their respective directors, officers, managers, employees, independent contractors, representatives or agents to, promise, authorize or make any payment to, or otherwise contribute any item of value, directly or indirectly, to any third party, including any Non-U.S. Official (as such term is defined in the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended (the FCPA)), in each case, in violation of the FCPA, the U.K. Bribery Act, or any other applicable anti-bribery or anti-corruption law. The Company further represents that it shall, and shall cause each of its subsidiaries and affiliates to, cease all of its or their respective activities, as well as remediate any actions taken by the Company, its subsidiaries or affiliates, or any of their respective directors, officers, managers, employees, independent contractors, representatives or agents, in violation of the FCPA, the U.K. Bribery Act, or any other applicable anti-bribery or anti-corruption law. The Company further represents that it shall, and shall cause each of its subsidiaries and affiliates to, maintain systems of internal controls (including, but not limited to, accounting systems, purchasing systems and billing systems) to ensure compliance with the FCPA, the U.K. Bribery Act, or any other applicable anti-bribery or anti-corruption law. The Company shall, and shall cause any direct or indirect subsidiary or entity controlled by it, whether now in existence or formed in the future, to comply with the FCPA. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause any direct or indirect subsidiary, whether now in existence or formed in the future, to comply in all material respects with all applicable laws.
3.14 Removal of Legends. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its transfer agent to reissue promptly unlegended certificates or other evidence of ownership at the request of any holder thereof if the Company has completed an Initial Offering and the holder shall have obtained an opinion of counsel, which counsel may be counsel to the Company, reasonably acceptable to the Company to the effect that the securities proposed to be disposed of may be lawfully disposed of without registration, qualification and legend.

Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this paragraph shall be binding upon each holder of any Registrable Securities, each future holder of all such Registrable Securities and the Company.
4.8 Severability.
