(b) the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares, (c) the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series 2 Preferred Stock issuable

more of its designees in connection with the ISx Debt, and (e) any other shares of Common Stock issued in respect of such shares (because of stock splits, stock dividends, reclassifications,
recapitalizations or similar events); provided, however, that shares of Common Stock which are
Registrable Securities shall cease to be Registrable Securities (i) upon their
sale pursuant to a registration statement or Rule 144 under the Securities Act, (ii) upon any sale in any manner to a person or entity which is not entitled to the rights under this
Agreement, or (iii) at such time, following an initial public offering of the Company's Common Stock, as such Registrable Securities become eligible for sale pursuant to Rule 144(k)
under the Securities Act or another similar exemption under the Securities Act. 


        "Requisite Period" shall mean, with respect to a firm commitment underwritten public offering, the period commencing on the effective date
of the registration statement and ending on the date each underwriter has completed the distribution of all securities purchased by it and, with respect to any other registration, the period
commencing on the effective date of the registration statement and ending on the earlier of (i) the date on which the sale of all Registrable Securities covered thereby is completed and
(ii) 180 days after such effective date. 


        2.2   Demand Registration. 



        (a)   If,
at any time following the date on which the Company shall have registered any of its securities (including registration of shares held by persons other than
"Holders" hereunder) under the Exchange Act (unless such registration is in connection with a firmly underwritten initial public offering of the Company's Common Stock (an
"IPO"), then, at any time more than 180 days after the effectiveness of such IPO), (x) the Holders of Registrable Securities representing
a majority of such Registrable Securities and (y) the holders of a majority of the shares of Series 3 Preferred Stock, each shall have the right (which right is in addition to the
registration rights under Sections 2.3 and 2.4 hereof), exercisable by written notice to the Company (the "Demand Notice"), to have the Company prepare
and file with the SEC, in the case of the Holders of Registrable Securities representing a majority of such Registrable Securities on two (2) occasions (provided that two or more registration
statements filed in response to one Demand Notice shall be counted as one occasion) and in the case of holders of a majority of the shares of Series 3 Preferred Stock on one (1) occasion
(provided that two or more registration statements filed in response to one Demand Notice shall be counted as one occasion), a registration statement and such other documents, including a prospectus,
as may be necessary in the opinion of both counsel for the Company and Holders' Counsel, in order to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act, so as to permit a public offering and sale of
their respective Registrable Securities (which may be an underwritten offering if so demanded) and cause such registration statement to be declared effective by the SEC within 120 days after
such filing. The Company shall give written notice (a "Registration Notice") of any registration request under Section 2.2(a) to all other
Holders of the Registrable Securities within ten (10) days from the date of receipt of the Demand Notice. The Company will, as expeditiously as reasonably possible, register the number of
shares specified in the Demand Notice and in notices received from any other Holders of the Registrable Securities who notify the Company within ten (10) days after receiving the Registration
Notice; provided that the Company shall have the right to delay or suspend the effectiveness of such registration request: (i) for such 



3







 

reasonable
period of time until the Company receives or prepares financial statements for the fiscal period most recently ended prior to such written request, if necessary under applicable securities
laws to avoid the use of stale financial statements, (ii) if the Company would be required to divulge in such registration statement the existence of any fact relating to a material business
situation, transaction or negotiation not otherwise required to be disclosed, or (iii) if the Board of Directors of the Company shall determine in good faith that the registration to be
effected would not be in the best interest of the Company, in each such case the Company shall have the right to delay such filing for a period of no longer than ninety (90) days (provided,
however, that the Company shall not utilize this right more than once in any twelve (12) month period). 


        (b)   Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company shall not be required to effect a registration pursuant to this Section 2.2
within 180 days following the effective date of (i) a registration statement filed by the Company in accordance with Sections 2.2 or 2.3 or (ii) a registration statement for the
account of another holder of securities of the Company if the Holders were afforded the opportunity to include the Registrable Securities in such registration. 




        2.3   Piggyback Registration. 



        (a)   If,
at any time, the Company proposes to register any of its securities under the Securities Act (other than in connection with an IPO or pursuant to Section 2.2
hereof or on Forms S-8, S-4 or comparable forms of registration statements), the Company will give written notice by registered mail, at least thirty (30) business days
prior to the filing of each such registration statement, to the Holders of the Registrable Securities of its intention to do so. If any Holder notifies the Company within twenty (20) days after
receipt of any such notice of its desire to include any Registrable Securities in such proposed registration statement, the Company shall afford such Holder of the Registrable Securities the
opportunity to have any such Registrable Securities registered under such registration statement. 


        (b)   Notwithstanding
the provisions of this Section 2.3, (i) the Company shall have the right any time after it shall have given written notice pursuant to this
Section 2.3 (irrespective of whether a written request for inclusion of any such securities shall have been made) to elect to postpone or not to file any such proposed registration statement,
or to withdraw the same after filing but prior to the effective date thereof and (ii) if the underwriter or underwriters, if any, of any such proposed public offering shall be of the reasonable
opinion that the total amount or kind of securities held by the Holders and any other persons or entities entitled to be included in such public offering would adversely affect the success of such
public offering, then the amount of securities to be offered for the accounts of Holders shall be reduced pro rata with all other selling stockholders included on any such registration based upon the
relative holdings of shares of Common Stock of such entities to the extent necessary to reduce the total amount of securities to be included in such public offering to the amount reasonably
recommended by the underwriter or underwriters thereof, whereupon the Company shall only be obligated to register such reduced portion (which may be none) of the Registrable Securities with respect to
which such Holder has provided notice pursuant to this Section 2.3. In no event shall the Company be required pursuant to this Section 2.3 to reduce the amount of securities to be
registered by it. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may withdraw any registration statement referred to in this Section 2.3 without thereby incurring any liability to the Holders. 




        2.4   S-3 Registration. In the event that the Company receives written requests from (x) any Holder or
Holders of not less than thirty percent (30%) of the Registrable Securities or (y) holders of a majority of the shares of Series 3 Preferred Stock calling upon the Company to effect a
registration on 


4







 

Form S-3
and any related qualification or compliance with respect to all or a part of the Registrable Securities owned by such holder or holders, the Company will: 



        (a)   give
written notice of the proposed registration within ten (10) days of notice thereof, and any related qualification or compliance, to all other Holders; 


        (b)   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 fifteen (15) days after receipt of such written
notice from the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to effect any such registration, qualification or compliance pursuant to this Section 2.4: (i) if the
Company is not a registrant entitled to use Form S-3 for such an offering by such Holders; (ii) if the Holders, together with the Holders of any other securities of the
Company entitled to inclusion in such registration, propose to sell Registrable Securities and such other securities (if any) at an aggregate price to the public (net of any underwriters' discounts or
commissions) of less than $1,000,000; (iii) if the Company shall furnish to the Holders a certificate signed by the President of the Company stating that, in the good faith judgment of the
Board of Directors of the Company, it would be 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 120 days after receipt of the request of the Holder or Holders
under this Section 2.4 (provided, however, that the Company shall not utilize this right more than once in any twelve (12) month period); (iv) if the Company has already effected
two (2) registrations on Form S-3 for the Holders pursuant to this Section 2.4; or (v) if 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; and 


        (c)   subject
to the foregoing, the Company shall file a registration statement covering the Registrable Securities and other securities so requested to be registered
as soon as practicable after receipt of the request or requests of the holders and cause such registration statement to be declared effective by the SEC. Registrations effected pursuant to this
Section 2.4 shall not be counted as demands for registration pursuant to Section 2.2 or registrations otherwise effected pursuant to Sections 2.2 or 2.3. 




        2.5   "Market Stand-Off" Agreement. 



        (a)   Each
Holder hereby agrees that such Holder shall not sell, transfer, make any short sale of, grant any option for the purchase of, or enter into any hedging or similar
transaction with the same economic effect as a sale, any Common Stock (or other securities) of the Company held by such Holder (other than those included in the registration) for (i) the
180-day period following the effective date of the IPO (or such longer period, not to exceed 18 days after the expiration of the 180-day period, as the underwriters or
the Company shall request in order to facilitate compliance with NASD Rule 2711), and (ii) the 90-day period following the effective date of a registration statement of the
Company filed under the Securities Act (or such longer period, not to exceed 18 days after the expiration of the 90-day period, as the underwriters or the Company shall request in
order to facilitate compliance with NASD Rule 2711); provided, that all officers and directors of the Company and holders of at least one percent (1%) of the Company's voting securities enter
into similar agreements. The obligations described in this Section 2.5 shall not apply to a registration relating solely to employee benefit plans on Form S-1 or
Form S-8 or similar forms that may be promulgated in the future, or a registration relating solely to a transaction on Form S-4 or similar forms that may be
promulgated in the future; 



5







 

        (b)   Each
Holder agrees to execute and deliver such other agreements as may be reasonably requested by the Company and/or the managing underwriter(s) which are consistent
with the foregoing or which are necessary to give further effect thereto. In order to enforce the foregoing covenant, the Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the
shares of such Common Stock (or other securities) until the end of such period. The underwriters of the Company's stock are intended third party beneficiaries of this Section 2.5 and shall have
the right, power and authority to enforce the provisions hereof as though they were a party hereto. 


        (c)   No
Holder of Registrable Securities subject to this Section 2.5 shall be released from any obligation under any agreement, arrangement or understanding entered
into pursuant to this Section 2.5 unless all other Holders of Registrable Securities subject to the same type of obligation are also released. 




        2.6   Expenses of Registration. All expenses incurred in connection with any registration, qualification or compliance pursuant
to Section 2, including without limitation, all registration, filing and qualification fees, printing expenses, fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company and Holders' Counsel and
expenses of any special audits incidental to or required by such registration, shall be borne by the Company except: (a) the Company shall not be required to pay fees or disbursements of legal
counsel of the Holders other than the fees and disbursements of Holders' Counsel; and (b) the Company shall not be required to pay any underwriter's fees, discounts or commissions relating to
Registrable Securities. The Holders of Registrable Securities sold pursuant to any registration, qualification or compliance pursuant to Section 2 shall bear the expense of any broker's
commission or underwriter's discount or commission relating to the registration and sale of such Holders' Registrable Securities and, subject to the preceding sentence, shall bear the fees and
expenses of their own counsel. 


        2.7   Registration Procedures. If and whenever the Company is required by the provisions hereof to effect the registration of
any Registrable Securities under the Securities Act, the Company will, as expeditiously as possible: 



        (a)   prepare
and file with the SEC a registration statement with respect to such securities and use its best efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective
not later than 120 days from the date of its filing and to remain effective for the Requisite Period; provided, however, that at any time, upon
written notice to the participating Holders and for a period not to exceed sixty (60) days thereafter (the "Suspension Period"), the Company may
delay the filing or effectiveness of any registration statement or suspend the use or effectiveness of any registration statement (and the Holders hereby agree not to offer or sell any Registrable
Securities pursuant to such registration statement during the Suspension Period) if the Company reasonably believes that the Company may, in the absence of such delay or suspension hereunder, be
required under state or federal securities laws to disclose any corporate development the disclosure of which could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect upon the Company, its
stockholders, a potentially significant transaction or event involving the Company, or any negotiations, discussions, or proposals directly relating thereto. In the event that the Company shall
exercise its right to delay or suspend the filing or effectiveness of a registration hereunder, the Requisite Period during which the registration statement is to remain effective shall be extended by
a period of time equal to the duration of the Suspension Period. The Company may extend the Suspension Period for an additional consecutive sixty (60) days with the consent of the Holders of a
majority of the Registrable Securities registered under the applicable registration statement, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. If so directed by the Company, all Holders registering
shares under such registration statement shall use their best efforts to deliver to the Company (at the Company's expense) all copies, other than permanent file copies then in such Holder's
possession, of the prospectus relating to such Registrable Securities current at the time of receipt of such notice; 



6







 

        (b)   prepare
and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep
such registration statement effective for the Requisite Period and comply with the provisions of the Securities Act and rules and regulations of the SEC with respect to the disposition of all
Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement in accordance with the intended method of disposition set forth in such registration statement for such period; 


        (c)   furnish
to each seller of Registrable Securities and to each underwriter such number of copies of the registration statement and the prospectus included therein
(including each preliminary prospectus) as such persons reasonably may request in order to facilitate the intended disposition of the Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement; 


        (d)   use
its best efforts (i) to register or qualify the Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement under the securities or "blue sky" laws of such
jurisdictions as the sellers of Registrable Securities or, in the case of an underwritten public offering, as the managing underwriter, reasonably shall request, (ii) to prepare and file in
those jurisdictions such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements, and take such other actions, as may be necessary to maintain such registration and qualification
in effect at all times for the period of distribution contemplated thereby and (iii) to take such further action as may be necessary or advisable to enable the disposition of the Registrable
Securities in such jurisdictions; provided, that the Company
shall not for any such purpose be required to qualify generally to transact business as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction where it is not so qualified or to consent to general service of
process in any such jurisdiction; 


        (e)   use
its best efforts to list the Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement with any national securities exchange or automated quotation system on
which the Common Stock of the Company is then listed or traded, or, if the Common Stock is not then listed on a national securities exchange, use its best efforts to facilitate the reporting of the
Common Stock on any national securities exchange or automated quotation system; 


        (f)    immediately
notify each seller of Registrable Securities and each underwriter under 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 of which the Company has knowledge as a result of which the prospectus contained in such registration statement, as
then in effect, includes any 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 light of
the circumstances then existing and promptly amend or supplement such registration statement to correct any such untrue statement or omission; 


        (g)   notify
each seller of Registrable Securities of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the registration statement or the initiation of
any proceedings for that purpose and take all action required to prevent the issuance of any stop order and, if any stop order is issued, to obtain the lifting thereof at the earliest possible time; 


        (h)   permit
Holders' Counsel to review and comment on the registration statement and all amendments and supplements thereto for a reasonable period of time prior to their
filing and the Company shall not file any document in a form to which such counsel reasonably objects and keep Holders' Counsel advised as to the initiation and progress of any registration under
Section 2.3, Section 2.3 or Section 2.4 hereunder; 


        (i)    if
the offering is an underwritten offering, enter into a written agreement with the managing underwriter selected in the manner herein provided in such form and
containing such provisions as are usual and customary in the securities business for such an arrangement between such underwriter and companies of the Company's size and investment stature, including,
without 



7







 




limitation,
customary indemnification and contribution provisions and take such other actions as are prudent and reasonably required in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such
Registrable Securities, including causing its officers to participate in "road shows" and other information meetings organized by the underwriter; 


        (j)    if
the offering is an underwritten offering, at the request of any seller of Registrable Securities, use its best efforts to furnish to such seller on the date that
Registrable Securities are delivered to the underwriters for sale pursuant to such registration: (i) a copy of an opinion dated such date of counsel representing the Company for the purposes of
such registration, addressed to the underwriters, stating that such registration statement has become effective under the Securities Act and that (A) to the best knowledge of such counsel, no
stop order suspending the effectiveness thereof has been issued and no proceedings for that purpose have been instituted or are pending or are contemplated under the Securities Act, (B) the
registration statement, the related prospectus and each amendment or supplement thereof comply as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act (except that such counsel
need not express any opinion as to financial statements or other financial or statistical information contained therein), and (C) to such other effects as reasonably may be requested by counsel
for the underwriters; and (ii) a copy of a letter dated such date from the independent public accountants retained by the Company, addressed to the underwriters, stating that they are
independent public accountants within the meaning of the Securities Act and that, in the opinion of such accountants, the financial statements of the Company included in the registration statement or
the prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereof, comply as to form in all material respects with the applicable accounting requirements of the Securities Act, and such letter shall additionally
cover such other financial matters (including information as to the period ending no more than five (5) business days prior to the date of such letter) with respect to such registration as such
underwriters reasonably may request; 


        (k)   take
all actions reasonably necessary to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates (not bearing any legend restricting the sale or transfer of such
securities) representing the Registrable Securities to be sold pursuant to the registration statement and to enable such certificates to be in such denominations and registered in such names as the
Shareholders or any underwriters may reasonably request; 


        (l)    take
all other reasonable actions necessary to expedite and facilitate the registration of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the registration statement; and 



        (m)  cooperate
with each seller of Registrable Securities and each underwriter participating in the disposition of such Registrable Securities and their respective counsel in
connection with any filings required to be made with the NASD. 




        In
connection with each registration hereunder, the sellers of Registrable Securities will furnish to the Company in writing such information with respect to themselves and the proposed
distribution by them as reasonably shall be necessary in order to assure compliance with federal and applicable state securities laws.

        2.8   Indemnification. 



        (a)   The
Company will indemnify each Holder of the Registrable Securities covered by a registration, each of its officers, directors, members, managers and partners, and each
person controlling such Holder, with respect to which such registration, qualification or compliance has been effected pursuant to Section 2, and each underwriter, if any, and each person who
controls any underwriter of the Registrable Securities held by or issuable to such Holder from and against all claims, losses, expenses, damages and liabilities (or actions in respect thereto) arising
out of or based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained 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, 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, or any violation by the Company of any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act or any state securities law applicable to the
Company and relating to action or inaction required of the Company in connection with any such registration, qualification or compliance, and will reimburse each such Holder, each of its officers,
directors and partners, and each person controlling such Holder, each such underwriter and each person who controls any such underwriter, for any reasonable legal and any other expenses incurred in
connection with investigating, defending or settling any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 2.8(a) shall
not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such claim, loss, damage, liability, or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld), and provided, further, that the Company will not be liable in any such case if and to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon the Company's
reliance on an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission so made in conformity with information furnished by any such Holder, any such underwriter or any such
controlling person in writing specifically for use in such registration statement or prospectus and the Company shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or
liability (or action in respect thereof) arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission in such registration statement, which untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission is completely corrected in an amendment or supplement to the registration statement and the undersigned indemnitees thereafter
fail to deliver or cause to be delivered such registration statement as so amended or supplemented prior to or concurrently with the sale of the Registrable Securities to the person asserting such
loss, claim, damage or liability (or actions in respect thereof) or expense after the Company has furnished the undersigned with the same. 



        (b)   Each
Holder of Registrable Securities covered by a registration statement shall, severally and not jointly, indemnify the Company, each of its directors and officers,
each underwriter, if any, of the Company's securities covered by such a registration statement, each person who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, and each other such
Holder, each of its officers, directors and partners and each person controlling such Holder, against all claims, losses, expenses, 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, and will reimburse the Company, such Holders, such
directors, officers, partners, persons or underwriters for any reasonable legal or any other expenses incurred in connection with investigating, defending or settling 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) is made in such registration
statement, prospectus, offering circular or other document in reliance upon and in conformity with written 



9







 




information
regarding such Holder furnished to the Company by an instrument duly executed by such Holder specifically for use therein; provided, however, that the total amount for which any Holder
shall be liable under this Section 2.8 shall not in any event exceed the aggregate proceeds received by such Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities held by such Holder in such
registration and provided further that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 2.8(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such claim loss, damage, liability or action
if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent to such Holder (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). 



        (c)   Each
party entitled to indemnification under this Section 2.8 (the "Indemnified Party") shall give notice to the
party required to provide indemnification (the "Indemnifying Party") promptly after such Indemnified Party has actual knowledge of any claim as to which
indemnity may be sought, and shall permit the Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of any such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom; provided that the failure of any Indemnified Party to
give notice as provided herein, shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder, unless such failure resulted in actual detriment to the Indemnifying Party; and provided further
that counsel for the Indemnifying Party, who shall conduct the defense of such claim or litigation, shall be approved by the Indemnified Party (whose approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), and
the Indemnified Party may participate in such defense at such party's expense (provided that (x) if the Indemnifying Party fails to assume the defense of such action with counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall pay the fees and disbursements of counsel selected by the Indemnified Party to defend such action and (y) the named parties
to any such action (including any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party and such parties have been advised by such counsel that either
(1) representation of such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party by the same counsel would be inappropriate under applicable standards of professional conduct or (2) there may be
one or more legal defenses available to the Indemnified Party which are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party). 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. 




        2.9   Information by Holder. The Holder or Holders of Registrable Securities included in any registration shall promptly
furnish to the Company such information regarding such Holder or Holders as the Company may request in writing and as shall be required in connection with any registration, qualification or compliance
referred to herein.

reporting requirements of said Rule 144 (at any time after 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 Exchange Act (at any time after it has become subject to such 



10







 




reporting
requirements), a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company, and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company as the Holder may reasonably request in
complying with any rule or regulation of the SEC allowing the Holder to sell any such securities without registration. 




        2.11 Assignment of Registration Rights. The rights to have the Company register Registrable Securities pursuant to this
Agreement may be assigned by the Holders to transferees or assignees of such securities; provided, that the Company is, within a reasonable time after such transfer, furnished with written notice of
the name and address of such transferee or assignee and the securities with respect to which such registration rights are being assigned; and provided, further, that the transferee or assignee of such
rights assumes in writing the obligations of such Holder under this Agreement. Each of the terms "Shareholder(s)" and "Holder(s)" as used in this Agreement shall include such permitted assigns. 



        2.12 Termination of Registration Rights. The registration rights contained in Sections 2.2, 2.3 and 2.4 shall terminate at
the earlier of (i) five (5) years after the closing of an IPO or (ii) as to each Holder, at such time as such Holder is eligible to sell the entire amount of the Registrable
Securities owned by such Holder may be sold in a three month period, in the opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company and such Holder, each in their reasonable judgment, without any limitation as
to volume pursuant to Rule 144 (or any successor provision then in effect) under the Securities Act.

PURSUANT TO AN APPLICABLE EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF SUCH ACT AND SUCH LAWS.

SALE, ASSIGNMENT, HYPOTHECATION, PLEDGE, ENCUMBRANCE OR OTHER DISPOSITION (EACH A "TRANSFER") AND VOTING OF ANY OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY
THIS CERTIFICATE ARE RESTRICTED BY THE TERMS OF THE INVESTOR RIGHTS AGREEMENT, DATED AS OF THE DATE HEREOF, AMONG THE COMPANY AND THE STOCKHOLDERS NAMED THEREIN, A COPY OF WHICH MAY BE INSPECTED AT

5.    GENERAL RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER



        5.1   A
Shareholder may Transfer Equity Securities only (i) in a Public Sale, and (ii) pursuant to a valid exemption from registration under the Securities Act,
provided that the Shareholder complies with Section 5.2 below. 


        5.2   Prior
to any proposed Transfer of any Equity Securities, the holder thereof shall deliver written notice (a "Transfer
Notice") to the Company of its intention to effect such Transfer no less 


14







 



than
ten (10) business days prior thereto. Each such Transfer Notice shall describe the manner of the proposed Transfer and, if requested by the Company, shall be accompanied by an opinion of
counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company to the effect that the proposed Transfer may be effected without registration under the Securities Act, whereupon the holder of such shares shall be
entitled to effect such Transfer in accordance with the terms of its Transfer Notice; provided, however, that the Company shall have the right to refuse any proposed Transfer that would cause the
Company to lose its exemption from registration under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act. Each certificate representing any Equity Securities transferred as above provided shall bear the legend
set forth in Section 4 hereof, except that such certificate shall not bear such legend (or any portion thereof) if: (a) such Transfer is in accordance with the provisions of
Rule 144(k) (or any other rule permitting Public Sale without registration) under the Securities Act or (b) the opinion of counsel referred to above is to the further effect that the
transferee and any subsequent transferee (other than an affiliate of the Company) would be entitled to Transfer such securities in a Public Sale without registration under the Securities Act. The
restrictions provided for in this Section 5.2 shall not apply to securities which are not required to bear the legend prescribed by Section 4 hereof in accordance with the provisions of
that Section. The Company hereby agrees that it shall not request such opinion of counsel with respect to transfers effected pursuant to Rule 144 except in unusual circumstances. 



        5.3   If
any Transfer of Equity Securities is made or suffered by any Shareholder without the giving of notice required by this Agreement, such purported Transfer shall be
null and void ab initio. Further, if any Equity Securities are the subject of a Transfer not in accordance with the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, such Transfer shall be null and void ab initio. In enforcing this provision, the Company may hold and refuse to transfer any Equity
Securities or any certificate therefor tendered to it for transfer in addition to, and without prejudice to, any and all other rights or remedies which may be available to it.

consolidation, sale of assets or otherwise) to enter into a new investor rights agreement with the Shareholders on terms substantially the same as this Agreement as a condition of any such
transaction.

Exhibit A hereto, it has not granted to any Person the right to request or require the Company to register any securities issued by the Company, other than the rights granted to the

additional registration rights to any Person or with respect to any Securities that are not Registrable Securities that are prior to or inconsistent with the rights granted in this Agreement. 


        6.3   Remedies. The Shareholders, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law, including recovery of
damages, shall be entitled to specific performance of their rights under this Agreement. The Company agrees that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of
a breach by it of the provisions of this Agreement and hereby agrees to waive in any action for specific performance the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate. 


15







 



        6.4   Notices. Any notice required or permitted by any provision of this Agreement shall be given in writing, and shall be
delivered either personally or by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, addressed (i) in the case of the Company, to its principal office, (ii) in the case of any Shareholder

any Series 3 Preferred Holder, the Company shall provide such holder, in a form satisfactory to such holder, with (i) a duly executed certificate in accordance with Treasury Regulation

contained upon the sale, transfer, assignment or other disposition or encumbrance of stock, shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the transferees, legatees, donees, heirs, executors,
administrators, personal representatives, successors and assigns of each of the parties.

that any party is a defendant in any legal proceeding in which it seeks to join the other as a third party defendant, then, any state or Federal court in which such proceeding has properly been
brought, and consents to suit therein; and (ii) waive any objection they may now or hereafter have to the venue of such proceeding in any such court or that such proceeding was brought in an
inconvenient court. 


        6.10   Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision hereof shall not in any way affect the
validity or enforceability of any other provision.
