(b) Underwriting. If the Holders initiating the registration request under this Section 2.2 ("Initiating Holders") intend to distribute the Registrable Securities covered by their request by means of an underwriting, then they will so advise the Company as a part of their request made pursuant to this Section 2.2 and the Company will include such information in the written notice referred to in Section 2.2(a). In such event, the right of any Holder to include his Registrable Securities in such registration will be conditioned upon such Holder's participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder's 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 will enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the managing underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting by the Company. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.2, if the underwriter(s) advise(s) the Company in writing that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of securities to be underwritten then the Company will so advise all Holders of Registrable Securities which would otherwise be registered and underwritten pursuant hereto, and the number of Registrable Securities that may be included in the underwriting will be reduced as required by the underwriter(s) and allocated among the Holders of Registrable Securities on a pro rata basis according to the number of Registrable Securities then outstanding held by each Holder requesting registration (including the Initiating Holders); provided, however, that the number of shares of Registrable Securities to be included in such underwriting and registration will not be reduced unless all other securities of the Company are first entirely excluded from the underwriting and registration. Any Registrable Securities excluded and withdrawn from such underwriting will be withdrawn from the registration. (c) Maximum Number of Demand Registrations. The Company is obligated to effect only two (2) such registrations pursuant to this Section 2.2. (d) Deferral. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company will furnish to Holders requesting the filing of a registration statement pursuant to this Section 2.2, a certificate signed by the President or Chief Executive Officer of the Company stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company, it would be seriously detrimental to the Company and its shareholders for such registration statement to be filed and it is therefore essential to defer the filing of such registration statement, then the Company will have the right to defer such filing for a period of not more than one hundred twenty (120) days after receipt of the request of the Initiating Holders; provided, however, that the Company may not utilize this right more than once in any twelve (12) month period. (e) Expenses. All expenses incurred in connection with a registration pursuant to this Section 2.2, including without limitation all registration and qualification fees, printers' and accounting fees, fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company (but excluding underwriters' discounts and commissions), will be borne by the Company. Each Holder participating in a registration pursuant to this Section 2.2 will bear such Holder's proportionate share (based on the -5- 6 total number of shares sold in such registration other than for the account of the Company) of all discounts, commissions or other amounts payable to underwriters or brokers in connection with such offering. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company will not be required to pay for any expenses of any registration proceeding begun pursuant to this Section 2.2 if the registration request is subsequently withdrawn at the request of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities to be registered, unless the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities then outstanding agree to forfeit their right to one (1) demand registration pursuant to this Section 2.2 (in which case such right will be forfeited by all Holders of Registrable Securities); provided, further, 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 not known to the Holders at the time of their request for such registration and have withdrawn their request for registration with reasonable promptness after learning of such material adverse change, then the Holders will not be required to pay any of such expenses and will retain their rights pursuant to this Section 2.2. 2.3 Piggyback Registrations. The Company will notify all Holders of Registrable Securities in writing at least thirty (30) days prior to filing any registration statement under the Securities Act for purposes of effecting a public offering of securities of the Company (including, but not limited to, registration statements relating to secondary offerings of securities of the Company, but excluding registration statements relating (1) to any registration under Section 2.2 or Section 2.4 of this Agreement or (2) to any employee or director benefit plan, stock purchase agreement or stock option agreement (whether or not exercised), or the resale of shares purchased thereunder, or (3) to a corporate reorganization) and will afford each such Holder an opportunity to include in such registration statement all or any part of the Registrable Securities then held by such Holder. Each Holder desiring to include in any such registration statement all or any part of the Registrable Securities held by such Holder will, within twenty (20) days after receipt of the above-described notice from the Company, so notify the Company in writing, and in such notice will inform the Company of the number of Registrable Securities such Holder wishes to include in such registration statement. If a Holder decides not to include all of its Registrable Securities in any registration statement thereafter filed by the Company, such Holder will nevertheless continue to have the right to include any Registrable Securities in any subsequent registration statement or registration statements as may be filed by the Company with respect to offerings of its securities, all upon the terms and conditions set forth herein. (a) Underwriting. If a registration statement under which the Company gives notice under this Section 2.3 is for an underwritten offering, then the Company will so advise the Holders of Registrable Securities. In such event, the right of any such Holder's Registrable Securities to be included in a registration pursuant to this Section 2.3 will be conditioned upon such Holder's participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder's Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided herein. All Holders proposing to distribute their Registrable Securities through such underwriting will enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the managing underwriter or underwriter(s) selected for such underwriting. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the managing underwriter determine(s) in good faith that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten, then the managing underwriter(s) may exclude shares (including Registrable Securities) from the registration and the underwriting, and the number of shares that may be included in the registration and the underwriting will be allocated, first, to the Company, and second, to each of the Holders requesting inclusion of their Registrable Securities in such registration statement on a pro rata basis based on the total number of Registrable Securities then held by each such Holder, provided, however, that the right of the underwriters to exclude shares (including Registrable Securities) from -6- 7 the registration and underwriting as described above will be restricted so that (i) the number of Registrable Securities included in any such registration is not reduced below twenty percent (20%) of the shares included in the registration, except for a (1) registration relating to the Company's initial public offering or (2) a registration pursuant to the first registration statement filed and declared effective after the Company's initial public offering to register the sale of the Company's shares for its own account or (3) an offering solely by shareholders of the Company exercising demand registration rights, in each such case from which all Registrable Securities may be excluded, and (ii) all shares that are not Registrable Securities and are held by persons who are employees or directors of the Company (or any subsidiary of the Company) will first be excluded from such registration and underwriting before any Registrable Securities are so excluded. If any Holder disapproves of the terms of any such underwriting, such Holder may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company and the underwriter, delivered at least ten (10) business days prior to the effective date of the registration statement. Any Registrable Securities excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting will be excluded and withdrawn from the registration. For any Holder which is a partnership or corporation, the partners, retired partners and shareholders of such Holder, or the estates and family members of any such partners and retired partners and any trusts for the benefit of any of the foregoing persons will be deemed to be a single "Holder", and any pro rata reduction with respect to such "Holder" will be based upon the aggregate amount of shares carrying registration rights owned by all entities and individuals included in such "Holder", as defined in this sentence. (b) Expenses. All expenses incurred in connection with a registration pursuant to this Section 2.3 (excluding underwriters' and brokers' discounts and commissions), including, without limitation, all federal and "blue sky" registration and qualification fees, printers' and accounting fees, fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company will be borne by the Company. 2.4 Form S-3 Registration. In case the Company will receive from any Holder or Holders of Registrable Securities a written request or requests that the Company effect a registration on Form S-3 and any related qualification or compliance with respect to all or a part of the Registrable Securities owned by such Holder or Holders, then the Company will: (a) Notice. Promptly give written notice of the proposed registration and the Holder's or Holders' request therefor, and any related qualification or compliance, to all other Holders of Registrable Securities; and (b) Registration. As soon as practicable, effect such registration and all such qualifications and compliances as may be so requested and as would permit or facilitate the sale and distribution of all or such portion of such Holder's or Holders' Registrable Securities as are specified in such request, together with all or such portion of the Registrable Securities of any other Holder or Holders joining in such request as are specified in a written request given within twenty (20) days after receipt of such written notice from the Company; provided, however, that the Company will not be obligated to effect any such registration, qualification or compliance pursuant to this Section 2.4: (i) if Form S-3 is not available for such offering by the Holders; (ii) if the Holders, together with the holders of any other securities of the Company entitled to inclusion in such registration, propose to sell Registrable Securities and such other securities (if any) at an aggregate price to the public of less than $500,000.00; -7- 8 (iii) if the Company will furnish to the Holders a certificate signed by the President or Chief Executive Officer of the Company stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company, it would be seriously detrimental to the Company and its shareholders for such Form S-3 Registration to be effected at such time, in which event the Company will have the right to defer the filing of the Form S-3 registration statement no more than once during any twelve month period for a period of not more than one hundred twenty (120) days after receipt of the request of the Holder or Holders under this Section 2.4; (iv) if the Company has, within the twelve (12) month period preceding the date of such request, already effected one (1) registration on Form S-3 for the Holders pursuant to this Section 2.4; or (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. (c) Expenses. Subject to the foregoing, the Company will file a Form S-3 registration statement covering the Registrable Securities and other securities so requested to be registered pursuant to this Section 2.4 as soon as practicable after receipt of the request or requests of the Holders for such registration. The Company will pay all expenses incurred in connection with the first two registrations requested pursuant to this Section 2.4, (excluding underwriters' or brokers' discounts and commissions), including without limitation all filing, registration and qualification, printers' and accounting fees and the reasonable fees and disbursements of one counsel for the selling Holder or Holders and counsel for the Company, and the Holders will pay such expenses for any subsequent registration requested pursuant to this Section 2.4, payable pro rata by each such Holder based on the total number of shares sold by such Holder in such registration. (d) Not Demand Registration. Form S-3 registrations will not be deemed to be demand registrations as described in Section 2.2 hereof. 2.5 Obligations of the Company.

Prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement with respect to such Registrable Securities and use its best efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective, and, upon the request of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities registered thereunder, keep such registration statement effective for up to ninety (90) days.

Notify each Holder of Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing.

To the extent permitted by law, each selling Holder will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who have signed the registration statement, each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, any underwriter and any other Holder selling securities under such registration statement or any of such other Holder's partners, directors or officers or any person who controls such Holder within the meaning of the Securities Act or the 1934 Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (joint or several) to which the Company or any such director, officer, controlling person, underwriter or other such Holder, partner or director, officer or controlling person of such other Holder may become subject under the Securities Act, the 1934 Act or other federal or state law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereto) arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in each case to the extent (and only to the extent) that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by such Holder expressly for use in connection with such registration; and each such Holder will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company or any such director, officer, controlling person, underwriter or other Holder, partner, officer, director or controlling person of such other Holder in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 2.8(b) will not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Holder, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld; and provided further, that the total amounts payable in indemnity by a Holder under this -10- 11 Section 2.8(b) in respect of any Violation will not exceed the net proceeds received by such Holder in the registered offering out of which such Violation arises. (c) Notice. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 2.8 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action), such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 2.8, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof and the indemnifying party will 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 will have the right to retain its own 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 conflict of interests between such indemnified party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action, if prejudicial to its ability to defend such action, will relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the indemnified party under this Section 2.8, but the omission to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 2.8. (d) Defect Eliminated in Final Prospectus. The foregoing indemnity agreements of the Company and Holders are subject to the condition that, insofar as they relate to any Violation made in a preliminary prospectus but eliminated or remedied in the amended prospectus on file with the SEC at the time the registration statement in question becomes effective or the amended prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to SEC Rule 424(b) (the "Final Prospectus), such indemnity agreement will not inure to the benefit of any person if a copy of the Final Prospectus was furnished to the indemnified party and was not furnished to the person asserting the loss, liability, claim or damage at or prior to the time such action is required by the Securities Act. (e) Contribution. In order to provide for just and equitable contribution to joint liability under the Securities Act in any case in which either (i) any Holder exercising rights under this Agreement, or any controlling person of any such Holder, makes a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Section 2.8 but it is judicially determined (by the entry of a final judgment or decree by a court of competent jurisdiction and the expiration of time to appeal or the denial of the last right of appeal) that such indemnification may not be enforced in such case notwithstanding the fact that this Section 2.8 provides for indemnification in such case, or (ii) contribution under the Securities Act may be required on the part of any such selling Holder or any such controlling person in circumstances for which indemnification is provided under this Section 2.8; then, and in each such case, the Company and such Holder will contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which they may be subject (after contribution from others) in such proportion so that such Holder is responsible for the portion represented by the percentage that the public offering price of its Registrable Securities offered by and sold under the registration statement bears to the public offering price of all securities offered by and sold under such registration statement, and the Company and other selling Holders are responsible for the remaining portion; provided, however, that, in any such case, (A) no such Holder will be required to contribute any amount in excess of the public offering price of all such Registrable Securities offered and sold by such Holder pursuant to such registration statement; and (B) no person or entity guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) will be -11- 12 entitled to contribution from any person or entity who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. (f) Survival. The obligations of the Company and Holders under this Section 2.8 will survive the completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in a registration statement, and otherwise. 2.9 "Market Stand-Off" Agreement. Each Holder hereby agrees that it will not, to the extent requested by the Company or an underwriter of securities of the Company, sell or otherwise transfer or dispose of any Registrable Securities or other shares of stock of the Company then owned by such Holder (other than to donees or partners of the Holder who agree to be similarly bound) for up to one hundred eighty (180) days following the effective date of a registration statement of the Company filed under the Securities Act; provided, however, that each executive officer and director of the Company then holding Common Stock of the Company enter into substantially the same agreement. In order to enforce the foregoing covenant, the Company will have the right to place restrictive legends on the certificates representing the shares subject to this Section and to impose stop transfer instructions with respect to the Registrable Securities and such other shares of stock of each Holder (and the shares or securities of every other person subject to the foregoing restriction) until the end of such period. 2.10 Rule 144 Reporting. With a view to making available the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the Commission which may at any time permit the sale of the Registrable Securities to the public without registration, after such time as a public market exists for the Common Stock of the Company, the Company agrees to: (a) Make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act, at all times after the effective date of the first registration under the Securities Act filed by the Company for an offering of its securities to the general public; (b) Use its best efforts to file with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the 1934 Act (at any time after it has become subject to such reporting requirements); and (c) So long as a Holder owns any Registrable Securities, to furnish to the Holder forthwith upon request a written statement by the Company as to its compliance with the reporting requirements of said Rule 144 (at any time after ninety (90) days after the effective date of the first registration statement filed by the Company for an offering of its securities to the general public), and of the Securities Act and the 1934 Act (at any time after it has become subject to the reporting requirements of the 1934 Act), a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company, and such other reports and documents of the Company as a Holder may reasonably request in availing itself of any rule or regulation of the Commission allowing a Holder to sell any such securities without registration (at any time after the Company has become subject to the reporting requirements of the 1934 Act). 2.11 Termination of the Company's Obligations. The Company will have no obligations pursuant to Sections 2.2 through 2.4 with respect to: (a) any request or requests for registration made by any Holder on a date more than eight (8) years after the closing date of the IPO; or (b) any Registrable Securities proposed to be sold by a Holder in a registration pursuant to Section 2.2, 2.3 or 2.4 hereof if, in the opinion of counsel to the Company, all such Registrable Securities -12- 13 proposed to be sold by a Holder may be sold in a three-month period without registration under the Securities Act pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act and such Holder holds less than one percent (1%) of the outstanding stock of the Company. 3. RIGHT OF FIRST OFFER. 3.1 Right of First Offer. Each time after the date hereof that the Company proposes to offer any shares of, or securities convertible into or exercisable for any shares of, any class of its capital stock ("Offered Securities") other than Excluded Securities (as defined below), the Company will first make an offering of such Offered Securities to the Investors in accordance with the following provisions: (a) Delivery of Right of First Offer Notice. The Company will deliver a notice ("Right of First Offer Notice") to each Investor stating (i) the Company's bona fide intention to offer such Offered Securities, subject to the provisions of Section 3.1(b) below, (ii) the number of such Offered Securities to be offered, and (iii) the price and terms, if any, upon which it proposes to offer such Offered Securities. (b) Exercise of Right of First Offer. By written notification received by the Company, within thirty (30) calendar days after the Company gives the Right of First Offer Notice, each Investor may elect to purchase, at the price and on the terms specified in the Right of First Offer Notice, up to that portion of such Offered Securities which equals such Investor's Percentage Share (as defined below). For the purpose of this Section 3.1(b), an "Investor's Percentage Share" will be equal to that proportion that the number of shares of Common Stock issued and held, or issuable upon conversion of the Series B Stock, Series C Stock, Series D Stock, Series E Stock, Series F Stock and Series G Stock then issued and held by the relevant Investor bears to (i) the total number of shares of Common Stock of the Company then outstanding, plus (ii) the total number of shares of Common Stock of the Company into which all then outstanding shares of Preferred Stock of the Company are then convertible, plus (iii) up to a total of 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company issued and reserved for issuance under stock purchase and stock option plans of the Company from the date of its incorporation, plus (iv) the total number of shares of Common Stock of the Company then issuable under all then outstanding warrants or then issuable upon conversion of all shares of Preferred Stock issuable under such warrants. If all Offered Securities that the Investors are entitled to obtain pursuant to this Section 3.1 are not elected to be purchased by the Investors as provided in this Section 3.1, the Company may, during the one hundred twenty (120) day period following the expiration of the thirty (30) day period provided in the first sentence of this Section 3.1, offer the remaining unsubscribed portion of such Offered Securities to any person or persons at a price not less than, and upon terms no more materially favorable, to the offeree than those specified in the Right of First Offer Notice. If the Company does not enter into a written agreement for the sale of the Offered Securities within such one hundred twenty (120) day period, or if such written agreement is not consummated within thirty (30) days after the execution thereof by all parties thereto, the right of first offer provided hereunder will be deemed to be revived and such Offered Securities will not be offered to any third party unless first reoffered to the Investors in accordance herewith. (c) Hart-Scott Rodino Filings. The Company agrees to cooperate with the reasonable requests of an Investor purchasing Offered Securities respecting filings which must be made by the Company under the Hart-Scott Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act in order for such Investor to purchase such Offered Securities; provided, however, that such obligation of the Company is conditioned upon such Investor paying to the Company the reasonable costs and expenses which the Company incurs respecting such filings. -13- 14 3.2 Excluded Securities. The right of first offer in this Section 3 will not be applicable to the following (the "Excluded Securities"): (a) shares of the Company's Common Stock (and/or options, warrants or rights therefor) issued to employees, officers, or directors of, or contractors, advisors or consultants to the Company or any subsidiary pursuant to stock purchase or stock option plans, stock bonuses or awards, warrants, contracts or other arrangements (collectively, the "Awards") that are approved by (i) one or more officers of the Company to whom authority to grant the Awards has been delegated in accordance with the Company's applicable equity incentive plan and which Award(s) in question are issued to a person who is not then a Director of the Company or officer of the Company who performs policy-making functions for the Company or (ii) the Board of Directors of the Company, which approval, in the case of any shares of the Company's Common Stock (and/or options, warrants or rights therefor) issued to a Principal Common Shareholder, must include the approval of at least one Board Designee (as defined below) then a member of the Board of Directors of the Company; (b) shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon the exercise of options or warrants granted on or before the date hereof; (c) securities offered by the Company to the public pursuant to a registration statement filed under the Securities Act, including the IPO; (d) securities issued pursuant to the conversion or exercise of convertible or exercisable securities which themselves were Excluded Securities when originally issued; (e) securities issued pursuant to the acquisition of another corporation or entity by the Company by consolidation, merger, purchase of all or substantially all of the assets, or other reorganization in which the Company acquires, in a single transaction or series of related transactions, all or substantially all of the assets of such other corporation or entity or fifty percent (50%) or more of the voting power of such other corporation or entity or fifty percent (50%) or more of the equity ownership of such other entity; (f) shares of Common Stock or options, warrants or rights therefor issued to equipment lessors, real estate lessors, banks and other financial institutional lenders to the Company or any subsidiary in connection with commercial credit arrangements, equipment financings, real property leases or similar transactions, and to entities in connection with a contractual relationship of joint venture or strategic partnering (as such relationship is so determined by the Board in good faith on a case-by-case basis), in each case pursuant to stock purchase agreements, options, warrants or rights therefor that are approved by the Board; (g) shares of the Company's Common Stock or Preferred Stock issued in connection with any stock split or stock dividend; or (h) the Series B Stock, the Series C Stock, the Series D Stock, Series E Stock, Series F Stock, Series G Stock or the Conversion Stock. 3.3 Termination. This right of first offer will terminate (a) immediately before the closing of the IPO, or (b) upon the acquisition of all or substantially all the assets of the Company or (c) upon an acquisition of the Company by another corporation or entity by consolidation, merger or other reorganization in which the holders of the Company's outstanding voting stock immediately prior to such transaction own, immediately after such transaction, securities representing less than fifty percent (50%) of the voting power of the corporation or other entity surviving such transaction pursuant to this Section 3. 4. RIGHT OF CO-SALE. 4.1 Purchase Offer Notice. If one or more of the Common Holders listed in Exhibit B hereto receive one or more bona fide offers (collectively, the "Purchase Offer") that, if consummated, would result in the transfer by any single Common Holder of shares of the Company's Common Stock to any persons (individually a "Purchase Offeror" and collectively, if there is more than one offeror at the time, the "Purchase Offerors"), which persons have the apparent ability and intent to purchase from the Common Holder(s) such shares of the Common Stock then held by such -14- 15 Common Holder(s), upon specific terms and conditions (including a specified purchase price payable in cash or other property), and if the Common Holder(s) desire to accept such Purchase Offer, then the Common Holder(s) will promptly notify the Company and the Investors in writing (a "Purchase Offer Notice") of the terms and conditions of such Purchase Offer, identifying the Purchase Offeror(s) therein. 4.2 Investors' Right of Co-Sale. Each Investor will have the right, exercisable upon written notice to the Common Holder(s) within twenty (20) calendar days after such Investor's receipt of the Purchase Offer Notice of the Purchase Offer, to participate in the Common Holder(s)' sale of such Common Stock pursuant to the specified terms and conditions of such Purchase Offer, except that such Investor may substitute that number of shares of then outstanding Series B Stock, Series C Stock, Series D Stock, Series E Stock, Series F Stock and Series G Stock convertible into the number of shares of Common Stock that such Investor would otherwise be entitled to sell pursuant to such Investor's exercise of its right of co-sale hereunder. 4.3 Terms and Conditions of Co-Sale Right. The right of co-sale of each Investor hereunder will be subject to the following terms and conditions: (a) Investors' Pro Rata Share. Each Investor may sell all or any part of that number of shares of Common Stock (or then outstanding Series B Stock, Series C Stock, Series D Stock, Series E Stock, Series F Stock and Series G Stock, on an as if converted to Common Stock basis) of the Company held by such Investor as is equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock covered by the Purchase Offer included in the Purchase Offer Notice by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which will be the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company at the time owned by such Investor and the denominator of which will be the combined number of shares of Common Stock of the Company at the time owned by the selling Common Holder and all Investors (such number referred to herein as the "Investor's Pro Rata Share"). For purposes of making such computation, the selling Common Holder(s) and each Investor will be deemed to own the number of shares of Common Stock that are outstanding and held by such parties plus the number of shares of Common Stock into which all then outstanding Series B Stock, Series C Stock, Series D Stock, Series E Stock, Series F Stock and/or Series G Stock held by such Common Holder(s) or Investor is at the time convertible. (b) Procedure. Each Investor may effect its right of co-sale in the sale by delivering to the Common Holder(s), for transfer to the Purchase Offeror(s) one or more certificates, properly endorsed for transfer, that represent: (i) the number of shares of Common Stock that such Investor elects to sell pursuant to this Section 4; or (ii) that number of shares of then outstanding Series B Stock, Series C Stock, Series D Stock, Series E Stock, Series F Stock and/or Series G Stock that is at such time convertible into the number of shares of Common Stock that such Investor elects to sell pursuant to this Section 4 or that is at such time convertible into that number of shares of Common Stock issuable on conversion of the then outstanding Series B Stock, Series C Stock, Series D Stock, Series E Stock, Series F Stock and/or Series G Stock that such Investor would otherwise be entitled to sell pursuant to its rights of co-sale hereunder; provided, however, that if the Purchase Offeror(s) object to the delivery of Series B Stock, Series C Stock, Series D Stock, Series E Stock, Series F Stock and/or Series G Stock in lieu of Common Stock, such -15- 16 Investor may convert such stock and deliver Common Stock as provided in subsection (i) of this Section 4.3(b). (c) Consummation. The stock certificates that an Investor delivers to the Common Holder(s) pursuant to this Section 4 in exercise of such Investor's right of co-sale hereunder will be transferred by the Common Holder(s) to the Purchase Offeror in consummation of the sale of the Common Holder Stock pursuant to the terms and conditions specified in the Purchase Offer Notice to the Investors, and the Common Holder(s) will promptly thereafter remit to such Investor that portion of the sale proceeds to which such Investor is entitled by reason of its participation in such sale. (d) No Limitation on Further Co-Sale. The exercise or non-exercise of the rights of co-sale of any Investor hereunder to participate in one or more sales of Common Stock made by the Common Holder(s) will not adversely affect such Investor's rights to participate, pursuant to its rights of co-sale hereunder, in subsequent sales of Common Stock by any Common Holder. (e) Exclusions. The rights of co-sale hereunder of the Investors will not pertain or apply to (i) any pledge of the Common Stock made by the Common Holder(s) that creates only a security interest, or (ii) any transfer to the ancestors, descendants or spouse, or to trusts for the benefit of any of the aforementioned persons, of the Common Holder(s), or (iii) any bona fide gift; provided the pledgee, transferee or donee will furnish the Company and the Investors with a written agreement to be bound by and comply with all provisions of Section 4 of this Agreement applicable to the relevant transferring Common Holder, or (iv) the sale by such Common Holder of any Preferred Stock of the Company then held by such Common Holder (but will apply to Common Stock issued upon any conversion of such Preferred Stock and then held as Common Stock by such Common Holder), or (v) the sale by a Common Holder of such Common Holder's Common Stock to the public pursuant to a registration statement filed under the Securities Act, including the IPO, or (vi) the sale or transfer by a Common Holder of an aggregate of 100,000 shares of the Common Stock of the Company in one or more transactions. (f) Prohibited Transfers. If any Common Holder sells any Common Stock in contravention of the co-sale rights of any Investor under this Agreement (a "Prohibited Transfer"), such Investor will have the right to sell to the Common Holder, and the Common Holder will purchase from such Investor, a number of shares of Common Stock of the Company (either directly or through delivery of then outstanding Series B Stock, Series C Stock, Series D Stock, Series E Stock, Series F Stock and/or Series G Stock held by such Investor), not to exceed such Investor's Pro Rata Share, equal to the number of shares of Common Stock sold by the Common Holder in contravention of such rights, on the following terms and conditions: (i) Price Per Share. The price per share at which such shares are to be sold by such Investor to the Common Holder will be equal to the price per share paid by the third-party purchaser or purchasers of the Common Stock to the Common Holder(s). (ii) Delivery of Investor's Certificates to Common Holder. Such Investor will deliver to the Common Holder, within ninety (90) days after such Investor has received notice from the Common Holder of, or otherwise become aware of, the Prohibited Transfer, the certificate or certificates representing shares to be sold -16- 17 by such Investor to the Common Holder hereunder, each certificate to be properly endorsed for transfer. (iii) Payment by Common Holder to Investor. The Common Holder will, upon receipt of the certificates for the shares to be sold to the Common Holder by such Investor hereunder, pay the aggregate purchase price therefor, by certified check or bank draft made payable to the order of such Investor, and will reimburse such Investor for all reasonable additional expenses, including reasonable legal fees and expenses, incurred by such Investor in effecting such purchase and resale. (g) Hart-Scott Rodino Filings. The Company agrees to cooperate with the reasonable requests of an Investor exercising its right of co-sale hereunder respecting filings which must be made by the Company under the Hart-Scott Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act in order for such Investor to so exercise its right of co-sale; provided, however, that such obligation of the Company is conditioned upon such Investor paying to the Company the reasonable costs and expenses which the Company incurs respecting such filings. 4.4 Termination of Right of Co-Sale. The right of co-sale of the Investors hereunder will terminate immediately prior to the closing of the IPO, if not terminated earlier by termination of this Agreement. 4.5 Legended Certificates. (a) Legend. Each certificate representing shares of Common Stock now owned by the Common Holder(s) or owned by them while the right of co-sale hereunder then is in effect, will be endorsed with a legend substantially in the following form: "THE SALE OR TRANSFER OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE IS SUBJECT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF A CERTAIN INVESTORS' RIGHTS AGREEMENT BY AND BETWEEN THE HOLDER AND INVESTORS IN THE CAPITAL STOCK OF THE ISSUER. COPIES OF SUCH AGREEMENT MAY BE OBTAINED UPON WRITTEN REQUEST TO THE ISSUER." (b) Removal of Legend. The legend required under this Section 4.5 will be removed upon termination of this Agreement. 5.

In the event of such a designation of a Board Designee under -18- 19 this Section 5.1(c), the Investors and the Principal Common Shareholders will vote their shares of the Company's capital stock as provided in Section 5.1(a) to cause the election to the Company's Board Directors of any new Board Designee or Designees so designated for election to the Company's Board of Directors by the Designators. (d) Notice; Cumulative Voting. The Company will promptly give each of the Investors and the Principal Common Shareholders written notice of any change in composition of the Company's Board of Directors and of any proposal by the Designators to elect a new Board Designee or Designees. In any election of Directors pursuant to this Section 5, the Investors and the Principal Common Shareholders will vote their shares in a manner sufficient to elect to the Company's Board of Directors the Board Designee or Designees to be elected thereto as provided in this Section 5, utilizing cumulative voting if and to the extent necessary to do so. 5.2 Further Assurances. Each of the Investors and the Principal Common Shareholders agrees not to vote any shares of Company Stock, or to take any other actions, that would in any manner defeat, impair, be inconsistent with or adversely affect the stated intentions of the parties under Section 5 of this Agreement. 5.3 Transferees; Legends on Certificates. (a) Effect on Transferees. Each transferee or assignee of any shares of capital stock of the Company from any Investor or Principal Common Shareholder will be bound by and subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 5, and the Company will require, as a condition precedent to the transfer of any shares of capital stock of the Company subject to this Section 5, that the transferee agree in writing to be bound by, and subject to, all the terms and conditions of this Section 5. (b) Legend. The Investors and the Principal Common Shareholders agree that all Company share certificates now or hereafter held by them that represent shares of capital stock of the Company subject to this Section 5 will be imprinted with the following legend: "THE SHARES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO AGREEMENTS AND RESTRICTIONS WITH REGARD TO THE VOTING OF SUCH SHARES AND THEIR TRANSFER, AS PROVIDED IN THE PROVISIONS OF AN INVESTORS' RIGHTS AGREEMENT, A COPY OF WHICH IS ON FILE IN THE OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY OF THE CORPORATION." 5.4 Term.

Wherever in this Agreement there is a reference to a specific number of shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock of the Company of any class or series, then, upon the occurrence of any subdivision, combination or stock dividend of such class or series of stock, the specific number of shares so referenced in this Agreement will automatically be proportionally adjusted to reflect the effect on the outstanding shares of such class or series of stock by such subdivision, combination or stock dividend. On May 12, 1998, the -22- 23 Company effected a two for one split of the outstanding shares of its Common Stock. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in order to reflect that stock split, each reference in this Agreement to a specific number of shares of Common Stock of the Company shall be multiplied by two effective as of the date of this Agreement, but each reference in this Agreement to a specific number of shares of Preferred Stock of the Company shall not be so multiplied by two and shall remain a reference to that number of shares effective as of the date of this Agreement. 7.15 Aggregation of Stock. All shares held or acquired by entities or persons, which are affiliated or related or as to which a single third party has common investment discretion, will be aggregated together for the purpose of determining the availability of any rights under this Agreement. 7.16 Further Assurances. From and after the date of this Agreement, upon the request of any Investor or the Company, the Company and the Investors, and the Principal Common Shareholders as to Section 5 hereof, will execute and deliver such instruments, documents or other writings as may be reasonably necessary or desirable to confirm and carry out and to effectuate fully the intent and purposes of this Agreement.
