The Company shall prepare, and, as soon as practicable, but in no event later than the Initial Filing Deadline, file with the SEC the Initial Registration Statement on Form S-1 covering the resale of all of the Initial Registrable Securities for an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. The Initial Registration Statement prepared pursuant hereto shall register for resale at least the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Initial Required Registration Amount determined as of the date the Initial Registration Statement is initially filed with the SEC. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the Initial Registration Statement declared effective by the SEC as soon as practicable, but in no event later than the Initial Effectiveness Deadline. The Company shall use its reasonable efforts to file with the SEC in accordance with Rule 424 under the Securities Act the final prospectus to be used in connection with sales pursuant to such Initial Registration Statement by 9:30 a.m. on the Business Day following the Effective Date, but in any case no later than the deadline required by Rule 424.

(ii) Additional Mandatory Registrations. The Company shall prepare, and, as soon as practicable but in no event later than the Additional Filing Deadline, file with the SEC an Additional Registration Statement on Form S-1 covering the resale of all of the Additional Registrable Securities not previously sold on an Additional Registration Statement hereunder. Each Additional Registration Statement prepared pursuant hereto shall register for resale all Registrable Securities. The Company shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to have each Additional Registration Statement declared effective by the SEC as soon as practicable, but in no event later than the Additional Effectiveness Deadline. The Company shall file with the SEC in accordance with Rule 424 under the Securities Act the final prospectus to be used in connection with sales pursuant to such Additional Registration Statement by 9:30 am on the Business Day following the Effective Date, but in any case no later than the deadline required by Rule 424.

(b) Suspension of Filing or Registration. If the Company shall furnish to the Holders a certificate signed by the Chief Executive Officer or Chief Financial Officer of the Company, stating that the filing, effectiveness or continued use of a Shelf Registration Statement would require (i) in the good faith judgment of the Company Board, unreasonably impede, delay or otherwise interfere with any pending or contemplated material acquisition, corporate reorganization, involving the Company (each, a “Material Transaction”), (ii) based upon advice from the Company’s investment banker or financial advisor, materially adversely affect any pending or contemplated financing, offering or sale of any class of securities by the Company, or (iii) in the good faith judgment of the Company Board require disclosure of material non-public information (other than information relating to an event described in clause (i) or (ii) of this subsection (b)) which, if disclosed at such time, would be materially harmful to the interests of the Company and its stockholders; provided, however, that in the case of a Suspension (as defined below) pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, the Suspension shall earlier terminate upon the completion or abandonment of the relevant securities offering or sale, financing, or Material Transaction unless the Shelf Suspension is also permitted for a different reason under clauses (i) or (ii), and provided, further, that in the case of a Shelf Suspension pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Company shall give written notice of its determination to suspend the Shelf Registration Statement and the Shelf Suspension shall earlier terminate upon public disclosure by the Company or public admission by the Company of such material non-public information or such time as such material non-public information shall be publicly disclosed without breach by the Holders of the penultimate sentence of this subsection (b), then the Company shall have a period of not more than 30 days in any ninety (90) day period or ninety (90) days in any twelve (12) month period (or such longer period as the TWVC Funds shall consent to in writing) within which to delay the filing or effectiveness of such Shelf Registration Statement or, in the case of a Shelf Registration Statement that has been declared effective, to suspend the use by Holders of such Shelf Registration Statement (in each case, a “Shelf Suspension”). In the case of a Shelf Suspension that occurs after the effectiveness of a Shelf Registration Statement, the Holders agree to suspend use of the applicable Prospectus in connection with any sale or purchase of, or offer to sell or purchase, Registrable Securities, upon receipt of the notice referred to above. The Company shall immediately notify the Holders upon the termination of any Shelf Suspension, and (i) in the case of a Shelf Registration Statement that has not been declared effective, shall promptly thereafter file a Shelf Registration Statement and use its reasonable efforts to have such Shelf Registration Statement declared effective under the Securities Act and (ii) in the case of an effective Shelf Registration Statement, shall amend or supplement the Prospectus, if necessary, so it does not contain any untrue statement or omission and furnish to the Holders such numbers of copies of the Prospectus as so amended or supplemented as the Holders may reasonably request. The Company may only exercise its right to a Shelf Suspension once in any twelve-month period.

(c) The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to take all actions reasonably necessary to ensure that the transactions contemplated herein are effected as so contemplated in Section 5.2(a) hereof, and to submit to the SEC, within two (2) Business Days after the Company learns that no review of a Shelf Registration

Statement will be made by the staff of the SEC or that the staff has no further comments on a Shelf Registration Statement, as the case may be, a request for acceleration of effectiveness (or post-effective amendment, if applicable) of such Shelf Registration Statement to a time and date not later than 48 hours after the submission of such request.

(d) Any reference herein to a registration statement or prospectus as of any time shall be deemed to include any document incorporated, or deemed to be incorporated, therein by reference as of such time and any reference herein to any post-effective amendment to a registration statement as of any time shall be deemed to include any document incorporated, or deemed to be incorporated, therein by reference as of such time. Any reference to a prospectus as of any time shall include any supplement thereto, preliminary prospectus, or any free writing prospectus in respect thereof.

(e) In connection with the filing of the Shelf Registration Statement, the Company shall prepare and file with the SEC within the time periods specified in Section 5.2(a), a Shelf Registration Statement which shall register all of the Registrable Securities for resale by the holders thereof in accordance with such method or methods of disposition as may be specified by the TWVC Funds and use reasonable efforts to cause such Shelf Registration Statement to become effective as soon as reasonably practicable but in any case within the time periods specified in Section 5.2(a);

(f) In connection with a Shelf Registration, the Company may require each Holder whose Registrable Securities are covered by the shelf registration, to furnish to the Company such information regarding the Holder, including, without limitation, its intended method of distribution of Registrable Securities as may be required in order to comply with the Securities Act. The Holder agrees to notify the Company as promptly as practicable of any inaccuracy or change in information previously furnished by the Holder to the Company or of the occurrence of any event in either case that could cause the prospectus to contain an untrue statement of a material fact regarding the Holder or its intended method of disposition of such Registrable Securities or omits to state any material fact regarding the Holder or its intended method of disposition of such Registrable Securities required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing, and promptly to furnish to the Company any additional information required to correct and update any previously furnished information or required so that such prospectus shall not contain, with respect to the Holder or the disposition of such Registrable Securities, an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing. If the Holder fails to provide to the Company any information required to be provided pursuant to this Section 5.2 after the Holder became aware of the inaccuracy, omission or required change, the Company may suspend the use of the Shelf Registration Statement and the prospectus contained therein until such time as the Holder provides the required information to the Company.

(g) On or after the Initial Effective Date, the Company shall file a post-effective amendment to de-register all of the shares of Common Stock that remain unsold pursuant to that registration statement on Form S-3, File No. 164267.

5.3 Piggyback Registration.

(a) Company Registration. If at any time or from time to time the Company shall determine to register any of its equity securities, either for its own account or for the account of security holders (other than (1) in a registration relating solely to employee benefit plans, (2) a registration on Form S-4 or S-8 (or such other similar successor forms then in effect under the Securities Act), (3) a registration pursuant to which the Company is offering to exchange its own securities, (4) a registration statement relating solely to dividend reinvestment or similar plans, (5) a resale shelf registration statement relating solely to debt securities of the Company that are convertible into Common Stock and the underlying shares of Common Stock or (6) a registration pursuant to Section 5.2), the Company will:

(i) promptly (but in no event less than 20 days before the effective date of the relevant Registration Statement) give to each Holder written notice thereof; and

(ii) include in such registration (and any related qualification under state securities laws or other compliance), and in any underwriting involved therein, all the Registrable Securities specified in a written request or requests, made within 10 days after receipt of such written notice from the Company, by any Holder or Holders, except as set forth in Section 5.3(b) below.

(b) Underwriting. If the registration of which the Company gives notice is for a registered public offering involving an underwriting, the Company shall so advise the Holders as a part of the written notice given pursuant to Section 5.3(a)(i). In such event the right of any Holder to registration pursuant to this Section 5.3 shall 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 in subject to the limitations expressed in Section 5.2. All Holders proposing to distribute their Registrable Securities through such underwriting shall, together with the Company and the other parties distributing their securities through such underwriting, enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting by the Company. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 5.3, if the underwriter determines that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten, the underwriter may limit the number of Registrable Securities to be included in the registration and underwriting, subject to the terms of this Section 5.3. The Company shall so advise all holders of the Company’s securities that would otherwise be registered and underwritten pursuant hereto, and the number of shares of such securities, including Registrable Securities, that may be included in the registration and underwriting shall be allocated first to the Company and second to the Holders and any other holders with registration rights on a pro rata basis based on the total number of securities subject to registration rights held by such Persons. No such reduction shall (i) reduce the securities being offered by the Company for its own account to be included in the registration and underwriting, or (ii) subject to the limitations expressed in Section 5.2, reduce the amount of securities of the selling Holders and Alcatel-Lucent included in the registration below thirty percent (30%) of the total amount

of securities included in such registration. No securities excluded from the underwriting by reason of the underwriter’s marketing limitation shall be included in such registration. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 5.3(b) is intended to diminish the number of securities to be included by the Company in the underwriting.

(c) Market Stand Off. In the event the Company files a Piggyback Registration Statement pursuant to this Section 5.3(c) for an underwritten offering, the TWVC Funds hereby agree that, upon the request of the underwriter, during the period ending on the date that is ninety (90) days after the date of the final prospectus relating to such Piggyback Registration Statement or such other period as may be requested by an underwriter to accommodate regulatory restrictions on (1) the publication or other distribution of research reports and (2) analyst recommendations and opinions, including, but not limited to, the restrictions contained in FINRA Rule 2711(f)(4) (or any successor provisions or amendments thereto), the TWVC Funds will not, without the prior written consent of the underwriter, directly or indirectly, (1) offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend, or otherwise transfer or dispose of any Registrable Securities, (2) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Registrable Securities or (3) engage in any short selling of the Common Stock or securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock. The foregoing shall not apply to (a) the sale of any Registrable Securities to an underwriter pursuant to an underwriting agreement; (b) any transfers to any stockholder, partner or member of, or owner of a similar equity interest in the TWVC Funds, as the case may be, if, in any such case, such transfer is not for value; or (c) any distribution of Registrable Securities or any other security convertible into Registrable Securities to limited partners, members or stockholders of the TWVC Funds or to the TWVC Funds’ affiliates or to any investment fund or other entity controlled or managed by the TWVC Funds; provided, however, transfers pursuant to clauses (b) and (c), any such transferees shall agree in writing to be bound by this Section 5.3(c). The underwriters in connection with such registration are intended third party beneficiaries of this Section 5.3(c) and shall have the right, power, and authority to enforce the provisions hereof as though they were a party hereto. The TWVC Funds further agree to execute such agreements as may be reasonably requested by the underwriters in connection with such registration that are consistent with this Section 5.3(c) or that are necessary to give further effect thereto. The foregoing provisions of this Section 5.3(c) shall be applicable to the TWVC Funds only if all officers and directors of the Company and all stockholders owning more than 5% of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock, at the time the Company provides written notice of an underwritten public offering pursuant to Section 5.3(a)(i), are subject to the same restrictions. Any discretionary waiver or termination of the restrictions of any similar agreement or restriction pertaining to other stockholder by the Company or the underwriters shall apply pro rata to the TWVC Funds, based on the number of shares subject to such agreements.

(d) Right to Terminate Registration. The Company shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under this Section 5.3(d) prior to the effectiveness of such registration whether or not any Holder has elected to include securities in such registration.

5.4 Expenses of Registration. The Company shall pay all expenses incurred in connection with all registrations effected pursuant to Sections 5.2 and 5.3, including all registration, SEC, stock exchange, filing and qualification fees (including state securities law fees and expenses), printing expenses, messenger and delivery expenses, escrow fees, accounting fees, fees and disbursements of counsel for and independent public accountants of the Company, fees and expenses of all Persons retained by the Company, and fees and disbursements of Legal Counsel (as defined below); provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay stock transfer taxes or underwriters’ discounts or selling commissions relating to Registrable Securities.

5.5 Obligations of the Company. In effecting the registration of the Registrable Securities under this Article V, the Company shall (in addition to the requirements set forth in Section 5.2(e) with respect to a Shelf Registration Statement), as expeditiously as reasonably possible:

(a) prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such Shelf Registration Statement (including without limitation, any required post-effective amendments) and the prospectus included therein as may be necessary to effect and maintain the effectiveness of such Shelf Registration Statement and as may be required by the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and the instructions applicable to the form of such Shelf Registration Statement;

(b) prepare and file with the SEC the registration statement required pursuant to Section 5.3 (the “Piggyback Registration Statement,” and, together with the Shelf Registration Statement, the “Registration Statements” and, each individually a “Registration Statement”) and such amendments and supplements to the Registration Statements (including without limitation, any required post-effective amendments) and the prospectus included therein as may be necessary to effect and maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statements and as may be required by the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and the instructions applicable to the form of the Registration Statements and to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such Registration Statements in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by sellers thereof set forth in such Registration Statement.

(c) comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all of the Registrable Securities covered by such Shelf Registration Statement in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the TWVC Funds provided for in such Shelf Registration Statement;

(d) provide the TWVC Funds and their legal counsel (“Legal Counsel”) full opportunity to participate in the preparation of such Shelf Registration Statement, each prospectus included therein or filed with the SEC and each amendment or supplement thereto (but not including any documents incorporated by reference) and give reasonable

consideration to any comments Legal Counsel provides with respect to any Registration Statement or amendment or supplement thereto, the Company acknowledging that the SEC may take the position that the TWVC Funds constitute underwriters for purposes of such Registration Statement and the Company shall therefore provide Legal Counsel with all the same rights with respect to such Shelf Registration Statement as are customary for underwriters’ counsel in a public offering by the Company of the Company’s shares of Common Stock. Without limiting the foregoing, the Company shall furnish to Legal Counsel copies of any correspondence from the SEC or the staff of the SEC to the Company or its representatives relating to any Shelf Registration Statement;

(e) keep the Shelf Registration Statements current and continuously effective pursuant to Rule 415 at all times until such date the Registrable Securities registered pursuant to each such applicable Shelf Registration Statement are no longer Registrable Securities;

(f) the Shelf Registration Statements shall not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading;

(g) permit any Holder which Holder, in the reasonable judgment of the Company, if deemed to be a controlling person of the Company, to participate in good faith in the preparation of such Registration Statement and to cooperate in good faith to include therein material, furnished to the Company in writing, that in the reasonable judgment of the Company should be included;

(h) furnish to the Holders such numbers of copies of a prospectus, including all exhibits thereto and documents incorporated by reference therein and a preliminary prospectus, in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents as they may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of Registrable Securities owned by them;

(i) in the event of any underwritten public offering, enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary form, with the managing underwriter(s) of such offering. Each Holder participating in such underwriting shall also enter into and perform its obligations under such an agreement;

(j) promptly notify the TWVC Funds (A) when such Shelf Registration Statement or the Prospectus included therein or any prospectus amendment or supplement or post-effective amendment has been filed, and, with respect to such Shelf Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment, when the same has become effective, (B) of any comments by the SEC with respect thereto or any request by the SEC for amendments or supplements to such Shelf Registration Statement or prospectus or for additional information (the Company shall respond to such comments and requests from the SEC as promptly as reasonably possible), (C) of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of such Shelf Registration Statement or the initiation or threatening of any proceedings for that purpose, (D) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the

Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose or (E) if at any time when a prospectus is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, that such Shelf Registration Statement, prospectus, prospectus amendment or supplement or post-effective amendment does not conform in all material respects to the applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder or contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing (the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to promptly prepare a supplement or amendment to the Shelf Registration Statement to conform to such requirements or to correct such untrue statement or omission, and deliver such number of copies of such supplement or amendment to the selling Holders as the selling Holders may reasonably request);

(k) use its reasonable efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement or of any order preventing or suspending the use of any preliminary or final prospectus and, if any such order is issued, to obtain the withdrawal of any such order as soon as practicable;

(l) in the case of an underwritten offering, make available for inspection, at the Company’s headquarters during normal business hours, by each Holder including Registrable Securities in such registration, any underwriter participating in any distribution pursuant to such registration, and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by such Holder or underwriter, all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company, as such parties may reasonably request, and cause the Company’s officers, directors and employees to supply all information reasonably requested by any such Holder, underwriter, attorney, accountant or agent in connection with such Registration Statement;

(m) use its reasonable efforts to register or qualify, and cooperate with the Holders of Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement, the underwriters, if any, and their respective counsel, in connection with the registration or qualification of such Registrable Securities for offer and sale under the securities or “blue sky” laws of each state and other jurisdiction of the United States as any such Holder or underwriters, if any, or their respective counsel reasonably request in writing, and do any and all other things reasonably necessary or advisable to keep such registration or qualification in effect for such period as required by Section 5.2(a), as applicable; provided that the Company shall not be required to qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified or take any action which would subject it to taxation or general service of process in any such jurisdiction where it is not then so subject;

(n) notify the Holders and underwriters, if any, of any pending proceeding against the Company under Section 8A of the Securities Act in connection with the offering of the Registrable Securities.

(o) in the case of an underwritten offering, obtain for delivery to the underwriters, if any, an opinion or opinions from counsel for the Company, dated the effective date of the Registration Statement or, in the event of an underwritten offering, the date of the closing under the underwriting agreement, in customary form, scope and substance, which opinions shall be reasonably satisfactory to such underwriters and their respective counsel;

(p) in the case of an underwritten offering, obtain for delivery to the Company and the underwriters, a cold comfort letter from the Company’s independent certified public accountants in customary form and covering such matters of the type customarily covered by cold comfort letters as managing underwriter or underwriters reasonably request, dated the date of execution of the underwriting agreement and brought down to the closing under the underwriting agreement;

(t) in the event the Company becomes eligible to use a registration statement on Form S-3 for a primary offering, the Company shall file a post-effective amendment to amend the Shelf Registration Statement to a registration statement on Form S-3; provided that the Company shall maintain the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement then in effect until such time as a Shelf Registration Statement on Form S-3 covering the Registrable Securities has been declared effective by the SEC.

(u) use its reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable securities laws and make available to its Holders, as soon as reasonably practicable, an earnings statement satisfying the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder; and

(v) enter into and perform customary agreements and take such other commercially reasonable actions as are prudent and reasonably required in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities.

5.6 Other Registration Rights. The TWVC Funds acknowledges that the Company has granted registration rights to Alcatel-Lucent pursuant to the 2014 Securities Purchase Agreement. The Company agrees that it shall not, after the date hereof, grant to any other Person

rights related to the registration of any of the Company’s securities that are superior to, or more expansive than, those granted to the TWVC Funds hereunder until such time as the TWVC Funds have sold all of their Registrable Securities.

5.7 Indemnification.

(a) The Company will, and does hereby undertake to, indemnify and hold harmless each Holder of Registrable Securities, each of such Holder’s officers, directors, employees, partners and agents, each Person controlling such Holder, and each underwriter, if any, of the Registrable Securities held by or issuable to such Holder, and each Person who controls any such underwriter, and the officers, directors, employees, partners and agents (i) of each Person controlling such Holder, (ii) of each underwriter and (iii) of each Person who controls any underwriter, against all claims, losses, damages and liabilities (or actions in respect thereto) to which they may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or other federal or state law arising out of or based on (A) any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any prospectus, offering circular or other similar document (including any related Registration Statement, notification, or the like) incident to any such registration, qualification or compliance, or based on any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances in which they were made, (B) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of any federal, state or common law rule or regulation applicable to the Company in connection with any such registration, qualification or compliance, or (C) any failure to register or qualify Registrable Securities in any state where the Company or its agents have affirmatively undertaken or agreed that the Company (the undertaking of any underwriter chosen by the Company being attributed to the Company) will undertake such registration or qualification on behalf of the Holders of such Registrable Securities including pursuant to Section 5.5(m) (provided that in such instance the Company shall not be so liable if it has undertaken its reasonable efforts to so register or qualify such Registrable Securities) and will reimburse, as incurred, each such Holder, each such underwriter and each such director, officer, partner, agent and controlling person, for any legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action; provided that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such claim, loss, damage, liability or expense arises out of or is based on any untrue statement or omission made in reliance and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Holder or underwriter expressly for use therein.

(b) Each Holder will, and if Registrable Securities held by or issuable to such Holder are included in such registration, qualification or compliance pursuant to this Article V, does hereby undertake to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, employees, agents and officers, and each Person controlling the Company and each underwriter, its partners, officers, directors, employees and each Person controlling such underwriter in any offering or sale of Registrable Securities, and its directors, employees, agents and officers, against all claims, losses, damages and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arising out of or based on any untrue statement

(or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any such Registration Statement, prospectus, offering circular or other document, or any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances in which they were made, and will reimburse, as incurred, the Company, each such underwriter, each such other Holder, and each such director, officer, employee, agent, partner and controlling Person of the foregoing, for any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) or omission (or alleged omission) was made in such Registration Statement, prospectus, offering circular or other document, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Holder expressly for use therein; provided, however, that the liability of each Holder hereunder shall be limited to the net proceeds received by such Holder from the sale of securities under such Registration Statement. It is understood and agreed that the indemnification obligations of each Holder pursuant to any underwriting agreement entered into in connection with any Registration Statement shall be limited to the obligations contained in this subsection 5.6(b).

(c) Each party entitled to indemnification under this Section 5.7 (the “Indemnified Party”) shall give notice to the party required to provide such indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) of any claim as to which indemnification may be sought promptly after such Indemnified Party has actual knowledge thereof, and shall permit the Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of any such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom; provided that counsel for the Indemnifying Party, who shall conduct the defense of such claim or litigation, shall be subject to approval by the Indemnified Party (whose approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) and the Indemnified Party may participate in such defense at the Indemnifying Party’s expense if (i) representation of such Indemnified 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 or (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed to promptly assume the defense of such proceeding; and provided further that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Article V, except to the extent that such failure to give notice shall materially adversely affect the Indemnifying Party in the defense of any such claim or any such litigation. No Indemnifying Party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation, may, without the consent of each Indemnified Party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liabilities on claims that are the subject matter of such claim or litigation.

(d) In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in case indemnification is unavailable to an Indemnified Party (by reason of legal prohibition or otherwise), the Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party in connection with the

actions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, has been made by, or relates to information supplied by, such Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party, and such party’s relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such actions; provided, however, that, in any case, (i) no Holder will be required to contribute any amount in excess of the public offering price of all securities offered by it pursuant to such Registration Statement (less all underwriting fees and discounts), and (ii) no Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) will be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

(e) The indemnity and contribution agreements contained herein are in addition to any liability that the Indemnifying Party may have to the Indemnified Parties and shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party or any officer, director or controlling Person of such Indemnified Party and shall survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities.

5.8 Information by Holder. The Holder or Holders of Registrable Securities included in any registration shall furnish to the Company such information regarding such Holder or Holders and the distribution proposed by such Holder or Holders as the Company may reasonably request in writing and as shall be required in connection with any registration, qualification or compliance referred to in this Article V.

5.9 Transfer of Registration Rights. The rights contained in Sections 5.2 and 5.3 hereof to cause the Company to register the Registrable Securities, and the other rights set forth in this Article V, may be assigned or otherwise conveyed by the TWVC Funds to any transferee of the Registrable Securities if the transfer was permitted under Article III.

5.10 Rule 144 Reporting. With a view to making available to the Holders the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the SEC that may permit the sale of the Registrable Securities to the public without registration, the Company agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to:

(a) make and keep current public information available, within the meaning of Rule 144 or any similar or analogous rule promulgated under the Securities Act; and

(b) file with the SEC, in a timely manner, all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and Exchange Act;

(c) as long as any Holder owns any Registrable Securities, furnish in writing upon such Holder’s written request a written statement by the Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements of Rule 144 and of the Securities Act and Exchange Act; and

(d) undertake any additional actions reasonably necessary to maintain the availability of the use of Rule 144.

5.11 Termination of Registration Rights. The rights of the Holders to cause the Company to register securities under Article V hereof shall terminate on the date when there no longer remaining any Registrable Securities; provided, however, that Sections 5.4 and 5.8 shall survive such termination.
