The Company shall offer to sell to each Investor such New Securities in accordance with the procedure set forth below:

Any Investor who desires to exercise such Investor’s Purchase Right shall give written notice (the “Acceptance Notice”) to the Company within the Acceptance Period. The Acceptance Notice shall state that such Investor desires to exercise such Investor’s Purchase Right and the maximum number of New Securities that such Investor is willing to purchase upon exercise of such Purchase Right.

Each Investor shall have the right, upon written notice to the Company, to assign such Investor’s Purchase Right to any person.
(d) The Company shall be entitled, during the period of 120 days following the expiration of the Acceptance Period (the “Unrestricted Period”), to sell up to the full amount of the New Securities set forth in the Offer Notice on the terms set forth in the Offer Notice, less the number of New Securities, if any, which the Investors have elected to purchase upon exercise of their Purchase
Rights in accordance with Section 1.4(c) (the “Remainder Securities”). The Company shall give five days’ prior written notice to each Investor that has elected to purchase New Securities of any such sale which sale shall be at the price and upon terms and conditions no more favorable to the purchaser than those described in the Offer Notice.

The Series A Demand Request shall set forth the number of Series A Registrable Securities owned by the Series A Initiating Holders to be included in the registration statement. In such event, the Company shall:

(ii) If the Series A Initiating Holders intend to distribute the Series A Registrable Securities covered by their Series A Demand Request by means of an underwritten offering, they shall so advise the Company in the Series A Demand Request, and the Company shall include such information in the Series A Demand Notice. In such event, the right of any Holder to include its Registrable Securities in such registration shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in such

All Holders proposing to distribute their securities by means of such underwritten offering shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with an underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting by the Company and reasonably acceptable to the Series A Initiating Holders holding at least a majority of the Series A Registrable Securities requested to be included in the underwritten offering. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.2, if the underwriter advises the Company that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of securities to be underwritten (including Registrable Securities), then the Company shall so advise all Holders of Registrable Securities which would otherwise be underwritten pursuant hereto, and the number of securities that may be included in the underwriting shall be reduced and allocated to the Holders of such Registrable Securities as follows: first, to the Holders of Series A Registrable Securities, all Series A Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration on a pro rata basis based on the total number of Series A Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration by such Holders; second, to the Holders of Series B Registrable Securities, up to the full number of Series B Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration on a pro rata basis based on the total number of Series B Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration by the such Holders; and third, to any other holders, the number of securities requested to be included by any other holders, in proportion as nearly as practicable, to the respective amounts of securities of the Company owned by them.

(2) if the Company shall furnish to the Holders requesting a registration statement pursuant to this Section 2.2(a), a certificate signed by the Chief Executive Officer of the Company stating that in the good faith reasonable judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company, it would be materially detrimental to the Company and its stockholders for such registration statement to be effected at such time, in which event the Company shall have the right to defer such filing for a period of not more than 60 days after receipt of the request of the Series A Initiating Holders; provided, however, that the Company may not utilize this right more than once in any 12 month period;
(3) during the 90-day period commencing with the date of the Company’s Initial Public Offering;
(4) if the Company delivers notice to the holders of the Series A Registrable Securities within 30 days following any registration request of its intent to file a registration statement for such initial public offering within 90 days thereof; or
(5) if the Series A Initiating Holders propose to dispose of Series A Registrable Securities that may be immediately registered on Form S-3 pursuant to a request made pursuant to Section 2.4 below.
(b) Series B Demand Registration.
(i) Subject to the conditions of this Section 2.2, at any time after the earlier of (i) the fifth anniversary of this Agreement or (ii) the date that is 181 days after the Company’s Initial Public Offering, the Holders of at least twenty-five percent (25%) of the Series B Registrable Securities then outstanding (the “Series B Initiating Holders”) may request in writing (the “Series B Demand Request”) that the Company file a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the registration of Series B Registrable Securities to the extent that such Series B Registrable Securities would have an aggregate price to the public in excess of $5,000,000. The Series B Demand Request shall set forth the number of Series B Registrable Securities owned by the Series B Initiating Holders to be included in the registration statement. In such event, the Company shall:

(2) subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 2.2, file, as expeditiously as reasonably possible, and in any event within 75 days following the receipt of such request, a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the Series B Registrable Securities specified by the Series B Initiating Holders in the Series B Demand Request and such other Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion within such registration statement within 15 days after the Company has given the Series B Demand Notice; and
(3) use its reasonable diligent efforts to cause the registration statement to be declared effective.
(ii) If the Series B Initiating Holders intend to distribute the Series B Registrable Securities covered by their Series B Demand Request by means of an underwritten offering, they shall so advise the Company in the Series B Demand Request, and the Company shall include such information in the Series B Demand Notice. In such event, the right of any Holder to include its Registrable Securities in such registration shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in such underwritten offering and the inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in the underwritten offering to the extent provided herein. All Holders proposing to distribute their securities by means of such underwritten offering shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with an underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting by the Company and reasonably acceptable to the Series B Initiating Holders holding at least a majority of the Series B Registrable Securities requested to be included in the underwritten offering. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.2, if the underwriter advises the Company that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of securities to be underwritten (including Registrable Securities), then the Company shall so advise all
Holders of Registrable Securities which would otherwise be underwritten pursuant hereto, and the number of securities that may be included in the underwriting shall be reduced and allocated to the Holders of such Registrable Securities as follows: first, to the Holders of Series B Registrable Securities, all Series B Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration on a pro rata basis based on the total number of Series B Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration by such Holders; second, to the Holders of Series A Registrable Securities, up to the full number of Series A Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration on a pro rata basis based on the total number of Series A Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration by the such Holders; and third, to any other holders, the number of securities requested to be included by any other holders, in proportion as nearly as practicable, to the respective amounts of securities of the Company owned by them. Any Registrable Securities excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting shall be withdrawn from the registration.
If a person who has requested inclusion in such registration as provided above does not agree to the terms of any such underwriting, such person shall be excluded therefrom by written notice from the Company, the underwriter or the Series B Initiating Holders. The securities so excluded shall also be withdrawn from registration. Any Registrable Securities or other securities excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting shall also be withdrawn from such registration. If shares are so withdrawn from the registration and if the number of shares to be included in such registration was previously reduced as a result of marketing factors pursuant to this Section 2.2(b)(ii), then the Company shall then offer to all Holders who have retained rights to include securities in the registration the right to include additional Registrable Securities in the registration in an aggregate amount equal to the number of shares so withdrawn, with such shares to be allocated among such Holders requesting additional inclusion, as set forth above.
(iii) The Company shall not be required to effect a registration pursuant to this Section 2.2(b):
(1) after the Company has effected two (2) registrations pursuant to this Section 2.2(b) whereby the Company has in each case registered at least 75% of the Series B Registrable Securities requested by the Holders thereof to be registered, and, subject to Section 2.5, each such registration has been declared or ordered effective and has remained effective until such Holder or Holders have completed the distribution related thereto;
(2) if the Company shall furnish to the Holders requesting a registration statement pursuant to this Section 2.2(b), a certificate signed by the Chief Executive Officer of the Company stating that in the good faith reasonable judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company, it would be materially detrimental to the Company and its stockholders for such registration statement to be effected at such time, in which event the Company shall have the right to defer such filing for a period of not more than 60 days after receipt of the request of the Series B Initiating Holders; provided, however, that the Company may not utilize this right more than once in any 12 month period;
(3) during the 90-day period commencing with the date of the Company’s Initial Public Offering;
(4) if the Company delivers notice to the holders of the Series B Registrable Securities within 30 days following any registration request of its intent to file a registration statement for such initial public offering within 90 days thereof; or
(iv) if the Series B Initiating Holders propose to dispose of Series B Registrable Securities that may be immediately registered on Form S-3 pursuant to a request made pursuant to Section 2.4 below.
2.3 Company Registration.
(a) If, at any time, the Company proposes to file a registration statement under the Securities Act for purposes of a public offering of securities of the Company (including for this purpose a registration statement covering shares owned by stockholders other than the Holders but excluding Special Registration Statements), it shall notify all Holders of Registrable Securities in writing (the “Company Notice”). Each Holder shall have the right (the “Piggyback Right”), subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.3(b), to include in any such registration statement all or any part of the Registrable Securities then held by such Holder. In order to exercise the Piggyback Right, a Holder shall give written notice to the Company (the “Piggyback Notice”) no later than 20 days following the date on which the Company gives the Company Notice. The Piggyback Notice shall set forth the number of Registrable Securities that such Holder desires to include in the registration statement.
(b) If the registration statement under which the Company gives notice under this Section 2.3 is for an underwritten offering, the Company shall so advise the Holders of Registrable Securities in the Company Notice. In such event, the right of any such Holder to be included in a registration pursuant to this Section 2.3 shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in such underwritten offering and the inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in the underwritten offering to the extent provided herein. All Holders proposing to distribute their Registrable Securities by means of such underwritten offering shall 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 the Agreement, if the underwriter determines in good faith that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten, the number of shares that may be included in the underwriting shall be allocated in the following manner: first, to the Company, all securities proposed to be registered by the Company for its own account; second, to the Holders, up to the full number of Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration on a pro rata basis based on the total number of Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration by the Holders; and third, to any other holders, the number of securities requested to be included by any other holders, in proportion as nearly as practicable, to the respective amounts of securities of the Company owned by them; provided, however, in no event shall the number of Registrable Securities of the Holders be reduced to a number less than 35% of the total amount of securities in the offering, unless such offering is the Company’s Initial Public Offering in which case the number of Registrable Securities included may be reduced to below 35% of the total number of securities is in the offering if the underwriters make the determination above and no other stockholder’s securities are included. 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 10 business days prior to the effective date of the registration statement.
If a person who has requested inclusion in such registration as provided above does not agree to the terms of any such underwriting, such person shall be excluded therefrom by written notice from the Company, the underwriter or the Initiating Holders. The securities so excluded shall also be withdrawn from registration. Any Registrable Securities or other securities excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting shall also be withdrawn from such registration. If shares are so withdrawn from the registration and if the number of shares to be included in such registration was previously reduced as a result of marketing factors pursuant to this Section 2.3(b), then the Company shall then offer to all
Holders who have retained rights to include securities in the registration the right to include additional Registrable Securities in the registration in an aggregate amount equal to the number of shares so withdrawn, with such shares to be allocated among such Holders requesting additional inclusion, as set forth above.
(c) The Company shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under this Section 2.3 prior to the effectiveness of such registration whether or not any Holder has elected to include securities in such registration. The Registration Expenses of such withdrawn registration shall be borne by the Company in accordance with Section 2.5 hereof.
2.4 Form S-3 Registration.
(a) After its Initial Public Offering, the Company shall use its best efforts to qualify for registration on Form S-3, or any comparable or successor form or forms. Any Holder or Holders of at least 15% of the Registrable Securities (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reverse stock splits, stock combinations or other similar capitalization changes) then outstanding (the “Form S-3 Initiating Holder(s)”) may request in writing that the Company effect a registration on Form S-3 (or any successor to Form S-3) with respect to any Registrable Securities owned by such Holder or Holders (the “Form S-3 Request”); provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to effect more than two (2) registrations pursuant to this Section 2.4 within any 12-month period. The Form S-3 Request shall set forth the number of Registrable Securities owned by the Form S-3 Initiating Holders to be included in the Form S-3 registration statement. In such event, the Company will:
(i) as promptly as practicable but in any event within 10 days following the receipt of the Form S-3 Request, give written notice of the proposed registration (the “Form S-3 Notice”) to all other Holders of Registrable Securities; and
(ii) as expeditiously as reasonably possible, file and use commercially reasonable efforts to cause to be declared effective, a registration statement covering the Registrable Securities specified by the Form S-3 Initiating Holder(s) in the Form S-3 Request, together with the Registrable Securities of any other Holder or Holders joining in such request as are specified in a written request received by the Company within 10 days after the Company has given the Form S-3 Notice.
(b) The Company shall not be obligated to effect any registration pursuant to Section 2.4(a):
(i) if Form S-3 is not available for such offering by the Holder or Holders;
(ii) if the Holder or 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 $1,000,000;
(iii) if the Company shall furnish to the Holders a certificate signed by the Chief Executive Officer of the Company stating that in the reasonable judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company, it would be materially detrimental to the Company and its stockholders for such Form S-3 registration to be effected at such time, in which event the Company shall have the right to defer the filing of the Form S-3 registration statement for a period of not more than 90 days after receipt
of the Form S-3 Request from the Holder or Holders under this Section 2.4; provided, however, that the Company may not utilize this right more than once in any 12 month period; or
(iv) 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) If the Form S-3 Initiating Holder(s) intend to distribute the Registrable Securities covered by their Form S-3 Request by means of an underwritten offering, they shall so advise the Company in the Form S-3 Request, and the Company shall include such information in the Form S-3 Notice. In such event, the right of any Holder to include its Registrable Securities in such registration shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in such underwritten offering and the inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in the underwritten offering to the extent provided herein. All Holders proposing to distribute their securities by means of such underwritten offering shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with an underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting by the Company and reasonably acceptably to a majority in interest of the Initiating Holders. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.4, if the underwriter advises the Company that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of securities to be underwritten (including Registrable Securities), then the Company shall so advise all Holders of Registrable Securities which would otherwise be underwritten pursuant hereto, and the number of securities that may be included in the underwriting shall be allocated to the Holders of such Registrable Securities on a pro rata basis based on the total number of Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration by the Holders; provided, however, that the number of Registrable Securities to be included in such underwriting and registration shall not be reduced unless all other securities of the Company are first entirely excluded from the underwriting and registration. Any Registrable Securities excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting shall be withdrawn from the registration.
If a person who has requested inclusion in such registration as provided above does not agree to the terms of any such underwriting, such person shall be excluded therefrom by written notice from the Company, the underwriter or the Form S-3 Initiating Holders. The securities so excluded shall also be withdrawn from registration. Any Registrable Securities or other securities excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting shall also be withdrawn from such registration. If shares are so withdrawn from the registration and if the number of shares to be included in such registration was previously reduced as a result of marketing factors pursuant to this Section 2.4(c), then the Company shall then offer to all Holders who have retained rights to include securities in the registration the right to include additional Registrable Securities in the registration in an aggregate amount equal to the number of shares so withdrawn, with such shares to be allocated among such Holders requesting additional inclusion, as set forth above.
2.5 Registration Expenses.
(a) Subject to Section 2.5(b), all Registration Expenses incurred in connection with any registration pursuant to Section 2.2, Section 2.3, or Section 2.4 shall be borne by the Company, including the expense of a single special counsel to the Holders for each registration not to exceed $25,000 per registration. All Selling Expenses incurred in connection with any such registration shall be borne by the Holders pro rata based on the number of Registrable Securities registered on behalf of each such Holder.
(b) The Company shall not be required to pay for expenses of any registration proceeding begun pursuant to Section 2.2 or Section 2.4, the request of which has been subsequently withdrawn by the Series A Initiating Holders, the Series B Initiating Holders or the Form S-3 Initiating Holders, as the case may be, unless (i) the withdrawal is based upon material adverse information concerning the Company which was not available to the Series A Initiating Holders, the Series B Initiating Holders or Form S-3 Initiating Holders, as applicable, at the time of such request, or (ii) with respect to a registration requested pursuant to Section 2.2(a), the Holders of at least 75% of the Series A Registrable Securities then outstanding agree to forfeit their right to one requested registration pursuant to Section 2.2(a) (in which event such right under Section 2.2(a) shall be forfeited by all Holders of Series A Registrable Securities), or (iii) with respect to a registration requested pursuant to Section 2.2(b), the Holders of at least 75% of the Series B Registrable Securities then outstanding agree to forfeit their right to one requested registration pursuant to Section 2.2(b) (in which event such right under Section 2.2(b) shall be forfeited by all Holders of Series B Registrable Securities), or (iv) with respect to a registration requested pursuant to Section 2.4, the Holders of at least 75% of the Registrable Securities then outstanding agree to forfeit their right to one requested registration pursuant to Section 2.4 (in which event such right under Section 2.4 shall be forfeited by all Holders of Registrable Securities). If the Holders are required to pay the Registration Expenses, such expenses shall be borne by the holders of securities (including Registrable Securities) requesting such registration in proportion to the number of securities for which registration was requested. If the Company is required to pay the Registration Expenses of a withdrawn offering pursuant to clause (i) above, then the applicable Holders of Series A Registrable Securities and or Series B Registrable Securities shall not forfeit their rights to a registration pursuant to Section 2.2 or Section 2.4, as applicable.
2.6 Obligations of the Company. Whenever required to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities, the Company shall, as expeditiously as reasonably possible:
(a) prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement with respect to such Registrable Securities and use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective, and keep such registration statement effective for up to 120 days or, if earlier, until the Holder or Holders have completed the distribution related thereto; provided, however, that:
(i) such 120 day period shall be extended for a period of time equal to the period the Holder agrees to refrain from selling any securities included in such registration at the request of the Company or an underwriter of Common Stock of the Company; and
(ii) in the case of any registration of Registrable Securities on Form S-3 which are intended to be offered on a continuous or delayed basis, such 120 day period shall be extended, if necessary, to keep the registration statement effective until all such Registrable Securities are sold, provided that Rule 415, or any successor rule under the Securities Act, permits an offering on a continuous or delayed basis, and provided further that applicable rules under the Securities Act governing the obligation to file a post-effective amendment permit, in lieu of filing a post-effective amendment which (I) includes any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act or (II) reflects facts or events representing a material or fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement, the incorporation by reference in the registration statement of information required to be included in (I) and (II) above from periodic reports filed pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act;
(b) prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection with such registration statement as may be
necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement for the period set forth in paragraph (a) above;
(c) furnish to the Holders such number of copies of a prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, and any amendments or supplements thereto 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;
(d) register and qualify the securities covered by such registration statement under such other securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as shall be reasonably requested by the Holders; provided that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to qualify to do business or to file a general consent to service of process in any such states or jurisdictions;
(e) 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;
(f) 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. The Company will as expeditiously as reasonably possible amend or supplement such prospectus in order to cause such prospectus not to include 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 in the light of the circumstances then existing;
(g) cause all such Registrable Securities registered pursuant hereunder to be listed on each securities exchange or nationally recognized quotation system on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed;
(h) provide a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable Securities registered pursuant hereunder and a CUSIP number for all such Registrable Securities, in each case not later than the effective date of such registration; and
(i) furnish, at the request of the Holders of at least a majority of the Registrable Securities (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reverse stock splits, stock combinations or other similar capitalization changes) requesting registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 2, on the date that such Registrable Securities are delivered to the underwriters for sale in connection with a registration pursuant to this Section 2, if such securities are being sold through underwriters, or, if such securities are not being sold through underwriters, on the date that the registration statement with respect to such securities becomes effective, (i) an opinion, dated such date, of the counsel representing the Company for the purposes of such registration, in form and substance as is customarily given to underwriters in an underwritten public offering, addressed to the underwriters, if any, and to the Holders requesting registration of Registrable Securities and (ii) if the securities are being sold through underwriters, a letter dated 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, addressed to the underwriters, if any, and to the Holders requesting registration of Registrable Securities.
2.7 Limitations on Subsequent Registration Rights. From and after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the Holders of at least 67% of the Registrable Securities then outstanding, enter into any agreement with any holder or prospective holder of any securities of the Company giving such holder or prospective holder any registration rights the terms of which are pari passu with or senior to the registration rights granted to the Holders hereunder.
2.8 Obligations of Holders. Each selling Holder pursuant to a registration effected pursuant to this Agreement shall:
(a) use its reasonable efforts to provide all such information and material concerning such Holder as may reasonably be requested by the Company in writing in order to enable the Company to comply with applicable requirements of the SEC;
(b) not deliver any form of prospectus in connection with the sale of any Registrable Securities as to which the Company has advised the selling Holders in writing that it is preparing an amendment or supplement; and
(c) not 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.
2.9 Indemnification. In the event any Registrable Securities are included in a registration statement under Sections 2.2, 2.3 or 2.4:
(a) To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, each of its officers, directors and partners, legal counsel and accountants and each person controlling such Holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, with respect to which registration, qualification or compliance has been effected pursuant to this Section 2, and each underwriter, if any, and each person who controls within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act any underwriter, against all expenses, claims, losses, damages and liabilities (or actions, proceedings or settlements in respect thereof) arising out of or based on (each of the following, a “Violation”): (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained or incorporated by reference in any prospectus, offering circular or other document (including any related registration statement, notification or the like) incident to any such registration, qualification or compliance, (ii) 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, or (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, any federal or state securities laws or any rule or regulation thereunder applicable to the Company and relating to action or inaction required of the Company in connection with any offering covered by such registration, qualification or compliance, and the Company will reimburse each such Holder, each of its officers, directors, partners, legal counsel and accountants and each person controlling such Holder, each such underwriter and each person who controls any such underwriter, for any legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating and defending or settling any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action; provided however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 2.9(a) shall 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 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 or action to the extent that it is based directly upon a
Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information expressly furnished for use in connection with such registration by such Holder.
(b) To the extent permitted by law, each Holder, severally and not jointly, will, if Registrable Securities held by such Holder are included in the securities which are being registered, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, officers, partners, legal counsel and accountants and each underwriter, if any, of the Company’s securities covered by such a registration statement, each person who controls the Company or such underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, each other such Holder, and each of their officers, directors and partners, and each person controlling each other such Holder, against all claims, losses, damages and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arising out of or based on a Violation, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) or omission (or alleged omission) is 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 and expressly stated to be specifically for use in the registration statement; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 2.9(b) shall 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 shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, further, in no event shall the indemnity by a particular Holder under this Section 2.9(b) exceed the net proceeds from the sale of Registrable Securities in the offering received by such Holder, except in the case of fraud or willful misconduct by such Holder.
(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 2.9 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action), for which such party may be entitled to indemnification hereunder, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 2.9, 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 of its choice; provided, however, that an indemnified party shall 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 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 shall relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the indemnified party under this Section 2.9 if, and solely to the extent that, such failure materially prejudices the ability of the indemnifying party to defend such action; provided that the omission so 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 2.9.
(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 2.9 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to herein, the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, shall to the extent permitted by applicable law contribute, severally and not jointly, to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and of the indemnified party on the other in connection with the Violation(s) that resulted in such loss, claim, damage or liability, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be determined by a court of law by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the 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. In no event shall any contribution by a Holder under this Section 2.9(d), when combined with any amounts paid by such Holder pursuant to Section 2.9(b), exceed the net proceeds from the sale of Registrable Securities in the offering received by such Holder, except in the case of fraud or willful misconduct by such Holder. Notwithstanding anything else herein to the contrary, no party guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) will be entitled to contribution from any party who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
The obligations of the Company and Holders under this Section 2.9 shall survive completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in a registration statement and the termination of this agreement. No indemnifying party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation, shall, except with the consent of each indemnified party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.
2.10 Assignment of Registration Rights. The rights to cause the Company to register Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 2 may be assigned by a Holder to a transferee or assignee of Registrable Securities which (a) is a subsidiary, parent, general partner, limited partner, former partner, member or former member of a Holder, and in the case of a venture capital fund, other funds managed by the same investment manager and its affiliates, (b) is a Holder’s family member or trust for the benefit of an individual Holder or a family member of such Holder, or (c) acquires at least 5% of the Registrable Securities held by such Holder (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reverse stock splits, stock combinations or other similar capitalization changes); provided, however, the transferor shall furnish to the Company 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 and such transferee shall furnish to the Company its agreement in writing to be subject to all obligations of a Holder set forth in this Agreement.
2.11 “Market Standoff” Agreement.
(a) Each Holder hereby agrees that such Holder shall not sell or enter into any hedging or similar transaction with the same economic effect as a sale, transfer, make any short sale, or grant any option for the purchase, of any Common Stock (or other securities) of the Company held by such Holder immediately prior to the IPO Effective Date (defined below) (other than those included in the registration) for a period specified by the Company or representative of the underwriters of Common Stock (or other securities) of the Company not to exceed 180 days following the effective date of a registration statement of the Company filed under the Securities Act with respect to an Initial Public Offering (the “IPO Effective Date”); provided, however, that, if required by such underwriter, such 180-day period shall be extended to such longer period of time as is necessary to enable such underwriter to issue a research report or make a public appearance that relates to an earnings release or announcement by the Company within 15 days prior to or after the date that is 180 days after the effective date of the registration statement relating to such offering, but in any event not to exceed 210 days following the effective date of the registration statement relating to such offering. The foregoing agreement shall only be applicable if all officers, directors and 1% stockholders of the Company enter into similar agreements, and shall not apply to the sale of any securities to an underwriter pursuant to an underwriting agreement, or to securities acquired in or following the Initial Public Offering. In addition, if the Company or the underwriters shall release any Registrable Securities or any other securities (the “Released Securities”) from the requirements of this Section 2.11 before the end of the period set by the Company or the underwriters, then the Registrable Securities of each Holder shall be released from the provisions of this
Section 2.11 in the same proportion as the Released Securities bear to the total number of securities held by such Holder which were subject to this Section 2.11. Each Holder agrees to execute and deliver such other agreements as may be reasonably requested by the Company or the underwriters which are consistent with the foregoing or which are necessary to give further effect thereto. The obligations described in this Section 2.11 shall not apply to a Special Registration Statement. The Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the shares of Common Stock (or other securities) to enforce the foregoing restrictions.
(b) Each Holder agrees that any transferee of any shares of Registrable Securities shall be bound by this Section 2.11.
(c) The Company shall cause each person to whom it issues shares of its capital stock after the date hereof to be bound by a market standoff obligation equivalent to the obligation contained in Section 2.11(a) above.
2.12 Reports Under the Exchange 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 public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144, at all times after the effective date of the Initial Public Offering;
(b) file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act; 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 the effective date of the first registration statement filed by the Company), the Securities Act and the Exchange 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.

3.6 Additional Investors. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if the Company shall issue additional shares of Preferred Stock or if any person shall otherwise receive any shares of Preferred Stock, such recipient of such shares of Preferred Stock may become a party to this Agreement by executing and delivering an additional counterpart signature page to this Agreement and shall be deemed an “Investor” hereunder. The addition of any such party shall not be deemed an amendment to this Agreement and shall not require the consent of any party hereto.
