 (w) Transactions With Affiliates and Employees. Except as set forth or incorporated by reference in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002, none of the officers,
directors or employees of the Company is presently a party to any transaction that would be required to be reported on Form 10-K with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (other than for ordinary course services as employees, officers or
directors), including any contract, agreement or other arrangement providing for the furnishing of services to or by, providing for rental of real or personal property to or from, or otherwise requiring payments to or from any such officer, director
or employee or, to the Company’s knowledge, any corporation, partnership, trust or other entity in which any such officer, director, or employee has a substantial interest or is an officer, director, trustee or partner. 
  
 (x) Internal Accounting Controls. The Company and the
Subsidiaries maintain a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that (i) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorizations, (ii) transactions 

  

 
are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and to maintain asset
accountability, (iii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization, and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and
appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences. 
  
 (y) Sarbanes-Oxley Act. The Company is in compliance with applicable requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and applicable rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC thereunder, except where such
noncompliance would not have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. 
  
 3.2 Representations and Warranties of the Investors. Each Investor hereby, as to itself only and for no other Investor, represents and warrants to the Company as follows: 
  
 (a) Organization; Authority. Such Investor is an
entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization with the requisite corporate or partnership power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by the
Transaction Documents and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder and thereunder. The purchase by such Investor of the Securities hereunder has been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of such Investor. This Agreement has
been duly executed and delivered by such Investor and constitutes the valid and binding obligation of such Investor, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except as may be limited by (i) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization or other laws of general application relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors rights generally, and (ii) the effect of rules of law governing the availability of specific performance and other equitable remedies.

  
 (b) No Public Sale or Distribution;
Investment Intent. Such Investor is (i) acquiring the Common Shares and the Warrants and (ii) upon exercise of the Warrants will acquire the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise thereof, in the ordinary course of business for its own account
and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, the public sale or distribution thereof, except pursuant to sales registered under the Securities Act or under an exemption from such registration and in compliance with applicable
federal and state securities laws, and such Investor does not have a present arrangement to effect any distribution of the Securities to or through any person or entity; provided, however, that by making the representations herein,
such Investor does not agree to hold any of the Securities for any minimum or other specific term and reserves the right to dispose of the Securities at any time in accordance with or pursuant to a registration statement or an exemption under the
Securities Act. 
  
 (c) Investor Status.
At the time such Investor was offered the Securities, it was, and at the date hereof it is, an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act. 
  
 (d) Experience of such Investor. Such Investor, either alone or together with its representatives has
such knowledge, sophistication and experience in business and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment in the Securities, and has so evaluated the merits and risks of such investment.
Such Investor is able to bear the 

  

 
economic risk of an investment in the Securities and, at the present time, is able to afford a complete loss of such investment. 
  
 (e) Access to Information. Such Investor acknowledges
that it has reviewed the Disclosure Materials and has been afforded: (i) the opportunity to ask such questions as it has deemed necessary of, and to receive answers from, representatives of the Company concerning the terms and conditions of the
offering of the Securities and the merits and risks of investing in the Securities; (ii) access to information (other than material non-public information) about the Company and the Subsidiaries and their respective financial condition, results of
operations, business, properties, management and prospects sufficient to enable it to evaluate its investment; and (iii) the opportunity to obtain such additional information that the Company possesses or can acquire without unreasonable effort or
expense that is necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to the investment. Neither such inquiries nor any other investigation conducted by or on behalf of such Investor or its representatives or counsel shall modify, amend or
affect such Investor’s right to rely on the truth, accuracy and completeness of the Disclosure Materials and the Company’s representations and warranties contained in the Transaction Documents. 
  
 (f) No Governmental Review. Such Investor understands
that no United States federal or state agency or any other government or governmental agency has passed on or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Securities or the fairness or suitability of the investment in the Securities nor have such
authorities passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the Securities. 
  
 (g) No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance by such Investor of this Agreement and the consummation by such Investor
of the transactions contemplated hereby will not (i) result in a violation of the organizational documents of such Investor or (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a
default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement, indenture or instrument to which such Investor is a party, or (iii) result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order,
judgment or decree (including federal and state securities laws) applicable to such Investor, except in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) above, for such that are not material and do not otherwise affect the ability of such Investor to consummate
the transactions contemplated hereby. 
  
 (h)
No Legal, Tax or Investment Advice. Such Investor understands that nothing in this Agreement or any other materials presented by or on behalf of the Company to the Investor in connection with the purchase of the Securities constitutes legal,
tax or investment advice. Such Investor has consulted such legal, tax and investment advisors as it, in its sole discretion, has deemed necessary or appropriate in connection with its purchase of the Securities. Such Investor understands that the
Agent has acted solely as the agent of the Company in this placement of the Securities, and that the Agent makes no representation or warranty with regard to the merits of this transaction or as to the accuracy of any information such Investor may
have received in connection therewith. Such Investor acknowledges that he has not relied on any information or advice furnished by or on behalf of the Agent. 
  
  

 ARTICLE IV 
 OTHER AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES 
  
 4.1 Transfer Restrictions. 
  
 (a) The Investors covenant that the Securities will only be disposed of pursuant to an effective registration statement under, and in compliance with the requirements of, the Securities Act or pursuant to an available exemption from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act, and in compliance with any applicable state securities laws. In connection with any transfer of Securities other than pursuant to an effective registration statement or to the Company, or pursuant to
Rule 144(k) except as otherwise set forth herein, the Company requires the transferor to provide to the Company an opinion of counsel selected by the transferor, the form and substance of which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the
Company, to the effect that such transfer does not require registration under the Securities Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company hereby consents to and agrees to register on the books of the Company and with its transfer agent, without
any such legal opinion, except to the extent that the transfer agent requests such legal opinion, any transfer of Securities by an Investor to an Affiliate of such Investor, provided that the transferee certifies to the Company that it is an
“accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act and provided that such Affiliate does not request any removal of any existing legends on any certificate evidencing the Securities. 
  
 (b) The Investors agree to the imprinting, so long as is
required by this Section 4.1(b), of the following legend on any certificate evidencing Securities: 
  
 THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN
EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN
AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR BLUE SKY LAWS. 
  
 Certificates evidencing Securities shall not be required to contain such legend or any other legend (i) after a transfer
pursuant to a Registration Statement that is effective under the Securities Act covering the resale of such Securities, (ii) following any sale of such Securities pursuant to Rule 144, (iii) if such Securities are eligible for sale under Rule
144(k), or (iv) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including controlling judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the Staff of the Commission). The Company shall cause its counsel to
issue the legal opinion included in the Transfer Agent Instructions to the Transfer Agent on the Effective Date. Following the Effective Date or at such earlier time as a legend is no longer required for certain Securities, the Company will no later
than three Trading Days following the delivery by an Investor to the Company or the Transfer Agent of a legended certificate representing such 

  

 
Securities and an opinion of counsel to the extent required by Section 4.1(a), deliver or cause to be delivered to such Investor a certificate representing
such Securities that is free from all restrictive and other legends. The Company may not make any notation on its records or give instructions to the Transfer Agent that enlarge the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section. 
  
 (c) The Company will not object to and shall permit (except
as prohibited by law) an Investor to pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the Securities in connection with a bona fide margin agreement or other loan or financing arrangement secured by the Securities, and if required under the
terms of such agreement, loan or arrangement, the Company will not object to and shall permit (except as prohibited by law) such Investor to transfer pledged or secured Securities to the pledges or secured parties. Except as required by law, such a
pledge or transfer would not be subject to approval of the Company, no legal opinion of the pledgee, secured party or pledgor shall be required in connection therewith, and no notice shall be required of such pledge. Each Investor acknowledges that
the Company shall not be responsible for any pledges relating to, or the grant of any security interest in, any of the Securities or for any agreement, understanding or arrangement between any Investor and its pledgee or secured party. At the
appropriate Investor’s expense, the Company will execute and deliver such reasonable documentation as a pledgee or secured party of Securities may reasonably request in connection with a pledge or transfer of the Securities, including the
preparation and filing of any required prospectus supplement under Rule 424(b)(3) of the Securities Act or other applicable provision of the Securities Act to appropriately amend the list of Selling Stockholders thereunder. Provided that the Company
is in compliance with the terms of this Section 4.1(c), the Company’s indemnification obligations pursuant to Section 6.4 shall not extend to any Proceeding or Losses arising out of or related to this Section 4.1(c). 
  
 4.2 Furnishing of Information. As long as any Investor owns
Securities, the Company covenants to timely file (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof pursuant to the Exchange Act. Upon the
reasonable request of any Investor, the Company shall deliver to such Investor a written certification of a duly authorized officer as to whether it has complied with the preceding sentence. The Company further covenants that it will take such
further action as any holder of Securities may reasonably request to satisfy the provisions of this Section 4.2. 
  
 4.3 Integration. The Company shall not, and shall use its best efforts to ensure that no Affiliate thereof shall, sell, offer for sale or solicit
offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of any security (as defined in Section 2 of the Securities Act) that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Securities in a manner that would require the registration under the Securities
Act of the sale of the Securities to the Investors or that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Securities for purposes of the rules and regulations of any Trading Market. 
  
 4.4 Reservation of Securities. The Company shall maintain a reserve from its duly authorized shares of Common Stock
for issuance pursuant to the Transaction Documents in such amount as may be required to fulfill its obligations in full under the Transaction Documents. In the event that at any time the then authorized shares of Common Stock are insufficient for
the Company to satisfy its obligations in full under the Transaction Documents, the Company shall promptly take such actions as may be required to increase the number of authorized shares. 
  

 4.5 Securities Laws Disclosure; Publicity. The Company shall, on or before 8:30 a.m., New York
time, on the first Trading Day following execution of this Agreement, issue a press release acceptable to the Investors disclosing all material terms of the transactions contemplated hereby. On the Closing Date, the Company shall file a Current
Report on Form 8-K with the Commission (the “8-K Filing”) describing the terms of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents and including as exhibits to such Current Report on Form 8-K this Agreement and the form of
Warrants, in the form required by the Exchange Act. Thereafter, the Company shall timely file any filings and notices required by the Commission or applicable law with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby and provide copies thereof to the
Investors promptly after filing. Except with respect to the 8-K Filing and the press release referenced above (a copy of which will be provided to the Investors for their review as early as practicable prior to its filing), the Company shall, at
least two Trading Days prior to the filing or dissemination of any disclosure required by this paragraph, provide a copy thereof to the Investors for their review. The Company and the Investors shall consult with each other in issuing any press
releases or otherwise making public statements or filings and other communications with the Commission or any regulatory agency or Trading Market with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, and neither party shall issue any such press
release or otherwise make any such public statement, filing or other communication without the prior consent of the other, except if such disclosure is required by law, in which case the disclosing party shall promptly provide the other party with
prior notice of such public statement, filing or other communication. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not publicly disclose the name of any Investor, or include the name of any Investor in any press release without the prior written
consent of such Investor. The Company shall not, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries and its and each of their respective officers, directors, employees and agents not to, provide any Investor with any material nonpublic information regarding
the Company or any of its Subsidiaries from and after the issuance of the above referenced press release without the express written consent of such Investor. 
  

4.6 Use of Proceeds . The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the sale of the Securities for general corporate purposes. The Company
also may use a portion of the net proceeds, currently intended for general corporate purposes, to acquire or invest in technologies, products or services that complement its business, although the Company has no present plans or commitments and is
not currently engaged in any material negotiations with respect to these types of transactions. Pending these uses, the Company intends to invest the net proceeds from this offering in short-term, interest-bearing, investment-grade securities, or as
otherwise pursuant to the Company’s customary investment policies. 
  
 4.7 Subsequent Placements. 
  
 (a) From the date hereof until 30 Trading Days following the Effective Date (the “Blockout Period”), the Company will not, directly or indirectly, offer, sell, grant any option to purchase, or otherwise dispose of (or
announce any offer, sale, grant or any option to purchase or other disposition of) any of its or the Subsidiaries’ equity or equity equivalent securities, including without limitation any debt, preferred stock or other instrument or security
that is, at any time during its life and under any circumstances, convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Common 

  

 
Stock or Common Stock Equivalents (any such offer, sale, grant, disposition or announcement being referred to as a “Subsequent Placement”).

  
 (b) The Blockout Period set forth in the
preceding paragraph (a) shall be extended for the number of Trading Days during such period in which (i) trading in the Common Stock is suspended by any Trading Market, (ii) the Registration Statement is not effective, or (iii) the prospectus
included in the Registration Statement may not be used by the Investors for the resale of Registrable Securities thereunder. 
  
 (c) (i) From the end of the Blockout Period until the one year anniversary thereof, the Investor will have a right of participation with
respect to any sales of any of the Company’s securities in a Subsequent Placement and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 4.7(c). During such period, the Company shall give written notice (the “Offer”)
to each Investor no later than two (2) business days prior to entering into any Subsequent Placement, by delivery of draft definitive documents related to such Subsequent Placement, or in the absence of sufficiently definitive draft documents, a
signed term sheet setting forth the contemplated material terms of the Subsequent Placement with definitive draft documents to be provided as soon as practicable thereafter. The Company shall promptly deliver to the Investors notice of any material
changes to the terms and conditions of the Subsequent Placement. The Investors shall have the right to purchase (pro rata with the other Investors hereto) an aggregate amount equal to 33 1/3% of the securities offered in the Subsequent Placement
(the “Offered Securities”) for the same consideration and on the same terms and conditions as other purchasers in such Subsequent Placement. Each Investor’s pro rata portion of the Offered Securities shall be calculated based
upon such Investor’s pro rata portion of the aggregate purchase price paid by the Investors for all of the Common Shares and Warrants purchased hereunder (the “Basic Amount”), and with respect to each Investor that elects to
purchase its Basic Amount, any additional portion of the Offered Securities attributable to the Basic Amounts of other Investors as such Investor shall indicate it will purchase or acquire should the other Investors subscribe for less than their
Basic Amounts (the “Undersubscription Amount”). 
  
 (ii) To accept an Offer, in whole or in part, an Investor must deliver a written notice to the Company prior to the closing of the Subsequent Placement, setting forth the portion of the Investor’s Basic Amount
that such Investor elects to purchase and, if such Investor shall elect to purchase all of its Basic Amount, the Undersubscription Amount, if any, that such Investor elects to purchase (in either case, the “Notice of Acceptance”),
(ii) to accept an Offer, an Investor must participate to the extent elected in the Subsequent Placement at the same time, and upon the same terms, as the other purchasers in the transaction, without unreasonably causing a delay in the execution or
closing thereof (it being agreed by each Investor that it shall cause no delay in the execution or closing if it receives draft definitive documents that are in all material respects equivalent to the final definitive documents at least 24 hours in
advance of the execution thereof). If the Basic Amounts subscribed for by all Investors are less than the total of all of the Basic Amounts, then each Investor who has set forth an Undersubscription Amount in its Notice of Acceptance shall be
entitled to purchase, in addition to the Basic Amounts subscribed for, the Undersubscription Amount it has subscribed for; provided, however, that if the Undersubscription Amounts subscribed for exceed the difference between the total
of all the Basic Amounts and the Basic Amounts subscribed for (the “Available  

  

 
Undersubscription Amount”), each Investor who has subscribed for any Undersubscription Amount shall be entitled to purchase on that portion of
the Available Undersubscription Amount as the Basic Amount of such Investor bears to the total Basic Amounts of all Investors that have subscribed for Undersubscription Amounts, subject to rounding by the Board of Directors to the extent its deems
reasonably necessary. 
  
 (iii) The Company shall
not issue in excess of such number of shares of Common Stock (or securities which are convertible, exchangeable or exercisable into such number of shares of Common Stock) in a Subsequent Placement which would cause the Company to violate any
shareholder approval or other requirements of the Trading Market or any other Eligible Market, exchange, regulatory authority, agency or commission. 
  
 (d) The restrictions contained in paragraphs (a) and (c) of this Section shall not apply to Excluded Stock.

 ARTICLE VI 
 REGISTRATION RIGHTS 
  
 6.1
Shelf Registration. 
  
 (a) As
promptly as possible, and in any event on or prior to the Filing Date, the Company shall prepare and file with the Commission a “Shelf” Registration Statement covering the resale of all Registrable Securities for an offering to be made on
a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415. The Registration Statement shall be on Form S-3 (except if the Company is not then eligible to register for resale the Registrable Securities on Form S-3, in which case such registration shall be on another
appropriate form in accordance with the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and as consented to by the Investors) and shall contain (except if otherwise directed by the Investors or the Commission) the “Plan of Distribution” attached
hereto as Exhibit D. 
  
 (b) The Company
shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Registration Statement to be declared effective by the Commission as promptly as possible after the filing thereof, but in any event prior to the Required Effectiveness Date, and shall use its
reasonable best efforts to keep the Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities Act until the earlier of the date that all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement have been sold or can be sold publicly
under Rule 144(k) (the “Effectiveness Period”). 
  
 (c) The Company shall notify Investor Counsel in writing promptly (and in any event within three business days) after receiving notification from the Commission that the Registration Statement has been declared
effective. 
  
 (d) Should an Event (as defined
below) occur, then upon the occurrence of such Event, and on every monthly anniversary thereof until the applicable Event is cured, as partial relief for the damages suffered therefrom by the Investors (which remedy shall not be exclusive of any
other remedies available under this Agreement, at law or in equity), the Company shall pay to each Investor an amount in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, equal to 1.0% of (i) the number of Securities held by such Investor as of the
date of such Event, multiplied by (ii) the purchase price paid by such Investor for such Securities then held. The payments to which an Investor shall be entitled pursuant to this Section 6.1(d) are referred to herein as “Event
Payments”. Any Event Payments payable pursuant to the terms hereof shall apply on a pro-rata basis for any portion of a month prior to the cure of an Event. In the event the Company fails to make Event Payments in a timely manner, such
Event Payments shall bear interest at the rate of 1.0% per month (prorated for partial months) until paid in full. All pro rated calculations made pursuant to this paragraph shall be based upon the actual number of days in such pro rated month.

  
 For such purposes, each of the following shall constitute an
“Event”: 
  
 (i) the Registration
Statement is not filed on or prior to the Filing Date or is not declared effective on or prior to the Required Effectiveness Date, as such dates shall be extended due to delays directly caused by Investors or Investors’ counsel; 
  

 (ii) except (A) as provided for in Section 6.1(e), (B) if the Company is involved
in a “Rule 13e-3 transaction” as defined in Rule 13e-3 under the Exchange Act, or (C) a merger or consolidation of the Company or a sale of more than one-half of the assets of the Company in one or a series of related transactions, unless
following such transaction or series of transactions, the holders of the Company’s securities prior to the first such transaction continue to hold at least 50% of the voting rights and equity interests of the surviving entity or acquirer
(clauses (B) and (C), collectively, the “Excluded Events”), after the Effective Date, an Investor is not permitted to sell Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement (or a subsequent Registration Statement filed in
replacement thereof) for any reason (other than the fault of such Investor) for five or more Trading Days (whether or not consecutive); 
  
 (iii) except as a result of the Excluded Events, the Common Stock is not listed or quoted, or is suspended from trading, on an Eligible
Market for a period of three Trading Days (which need not be consecutive Trading Days) during the Effectiveness Period; 
  
 (iv) the Company fails for any reason to deliver a certificate evidencing any Securities to an Investor within three Trading Days after
delivery of such certificate is required pursuant to any Transaction Document or the exercise rights of the Investors pursuant to the Warrants are otherwise suspended for any reason; or 
  
 (v) the Company fails to have available a sufficient number of authorized but unissued and otherwise
unreserved shares of Common Stock available to issue Warrant Shares upon any exercise of the Warrants or, except as a result of the Excluded Events, during the Effectiveness Period, any Common Shares or Warrant Shares are not listed on an Eligible
Market. 
  
 (e) Notwithstanding anything in this
Agreement to the contrary, after 60 consecutive Trading Days of continuous effectiveness of the initial Registration Statement filed and declared effective pursuant to this Agreement, the Company may, by written notice to the Investors, suspend
sales under a Registration Statement after the Effective Date thereof and/or require that the Investors immediately cease the sale of shares of Common Stock pursuant thereto and/or defer the filing of any subsequent Registration Statement if the
Company is engaged in a material merger, acquisition or sale and the Board of Directors determines in good faith, by appropriate resolutions, that, as a result of such activity, (A) it would be materially detrimental to the Company (other than as
relating solely to the price of the Common Stock) to maintain a Registration Statement at such time and (B) it is in the best interests of the Company to defer proceeding with such registration at such time. Upon receipt of such notice, each
Investor shall immediately discontinue any sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration until such Investor has received copies of a supplemented or amended Prospectus or until such Investor is advised in writing by the Company that
the then-current Prospectus may be used and has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference in such Prospectus. In no event, however, shall this right be exercised to suspend
sales beyond the period during which (in the good faith determination of the Company’s Board of Directors) the failure to require such suspension would be materially detrimental to the Company. The Company’s rights under this Section
6(e) may be exercised for a period of no more than 20 days at a time and not more than three times in any twelve-month period, without such suspension being considered as part of an Event Payment determination. 

  

 
Immediately after the end of any suspension period under this Section 6(e), the Company shall take all necessary actions (including filing any
required supplemental prospectus) to restore the effectiveness of the applicable Registration Statement and the ability of the Investors to publicly resell their Registrable Securities pursuant to such effective Registration Statement. 

 
 (f) The Company shall not, from the date hereof until the
Effective Date of the Registration Statement, prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement relating to an offering for its own account or the account of others under the Securities Act of any of its equity securities. 
  
 6.2 Registration Procedures. In connection with the Company’s
registration obligations hereunder, the Company shall: 
  
 (a) Not less than three Trading Days prior to the filing of a Registration Statement or any related Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto (including any document that would be incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by
reference), furnish to the Investors and Lead Investor Counsel copies of all such documents proposed to be filed, which documents (other than those incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference) will be subject to the review of such
Investors and Investor Counsel. The Company shall reflect in each such document when so filed with the Commission such comments as the Investors and Lead Investor may reasonably and promptly propose. 
  
 (b) (i) Subject to Section 6.1(e), prepare and file
with the Commission such amendments, including post-effective amendments, to each Registration Statement and the Prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep the Registration Statement continuously effective, as to the
applicable Registrable Securities for the Effectiveness Period and prepare and file with the Commission such additional Registration Statements in order to register for resale under the Securities Act all of the Registrable Securities; (ii) cause
the related Prospectus to be amended or supplemented by any required Prospectus supplement, and as so supplemented or amended to be filed pursuant to Rule 424; (iii) respond as promptly as reasonably possible, and in any event within 12 Trading Days
(except to the extent that the Company reasonably requires additional time to respond to accounting comments), to any comments received from the Commission with respect to the Registration Statement or any amendment thereto and as promptly as
reasonably possible provide the Lead Investor Counsel true and complete copies of all correspondence from and to the Commission relating to the Registration Statement; and (iv) comply in all material respects with the provisions of the Securities
Act and the Exchange Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement during the applicable period in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the Investors thereof set forth in
the Registration Statement as so amended or in such Prospectus as so supplemented. 
  
 (c) Notify the Lead Investor Counsel as promptly as reasonably possible, and (if requested by Lead Investor Counsel confirm such notice in
writing no later than two Trading Days thereafter, of any of the following events: (i) the Commission notifies the Company whether there will be a “review” of any Registration Statement; (ii) the Commission comments in writing on any
Registration Statement (in which case the Company shall deliver to Lead Investor Counsel a copy of such comments and of all written responses thereto); (iii) any Registration Statement or any post-effective 

  

 
amendment is declared effective; (iv) the Commission or any other Federal or state governmental authority requests any amendment or supplement to any
Registration Statement or Prospectus or requests additional information related thereto; (v) the Commission issues any stop order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement or initiates any Proceedings for that purpose; (vi) the
Company receives notice of any suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation or threat of any Proceeding for such purpose; or (vii) the financial
statements included in any Registration Statement become ineligible for inclusion therein or any statement made in any Registration Statement or Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference is untrue in
any material respect or any revision to a Registration Statement, Prospectus or other document is required so that it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. 
  
 (d) Use its reasonable best efforts to avoid the issuance of or, if issued, obtain the withdrawal of (i) any order suspending the
effectiveness of any Registration Statement, or (ii) any suspension of the qualification (or exemption from qualification) of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, as soon as possible. 
  
 (e) If requested by an Investor, provide such Investor and
Lead Investor Counsel, without charge, at least one conformed copy of each Registration Statement and each amendment thereto, including financial statements and schedules, and all exhibits to the extent requested by such Person (including those
previously furnished or incorporated by reference) promptly after the filing of such documents with the Commission. 
  
 (f) Promptly deliver to each Investor and Lead Investor Counsel, without charge, as many copies of the Prospectus or Prospectuses
(including each form of prospectus) and each amendment or supplement thereto as such Persons may reasonably request. The Company hereby consents to the use of such Prospectus and each amendment or supplement thereto by each of the selling Investors
in connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable Securities covered by such Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto to the extent permitted by federal and state securities laws and regulations. 
  
 (g) (i) In the time and manner required by each Trading
Market, prepare and file with such Trading Market an additional shares listing application covering all of the Registrable Securities; (ii) take all steps necessary to cause such Registrable Securities to be approved for listing on each Trading
Market as soon as possible thereafter; (iii) provide to Investor Counsel evidence of such listing; and (iv) except as a result of the Excluded Events, during the Effectiveness Period, maintain the listing of such Registrable Securities on each such
Trading Market or another Eligible Market. 
  
 (h) Prior to any public offering of Registrable Securities, use its reasonable best efforts to register or qualify or cooperate with the selling Investors and Lead Investor Counsel in connection with the registration or qualification (or
exemption from such registration or qualification) of such Registrable Securities for offer and sale under the securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions within the United States as any Investor requests in writing, to keep each such 

  

 
registration or qualification (or exemption therefrom) effective for so long as required, but not to exceed the duration of the Effectiveness Period, and to
do any and all other acts or things reasonably necessary or advisable to enable the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement; provided, however, that the Company shall not be
obligated to file any general consent to service of process or to qualify as a foreign corporation or as a dealer in securities in any jurisdiction in which it is not so qualified or to subject itself to taxation in respect of doing business in any
jurisdiction in which it is not otherwise so subject. 
  
 (i) Cooperate with the Investors to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing Registrable Securities to be delivered to a transferee pursuant to a Registration Statement, which certificates shall be free,
to the extent permitted by this Agreement and under law, of all restrictive legends, and to enable such Registrable Securities to be in such denominations and registered in such names as any such Investors may reasonably request. 
  
 (j) Upon the occurrence of any event described in Section
6.2(c)(vii), as promptly as reasonably possible, prepare a supplement or amendment, including a post-effective amendment, to the Registration Statement or a supplement to the related Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be
incorporated therein by reference, and file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered, neither the Registration Statement nor such Prospectus will contain 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, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. 
  
 (k) Cooperate with any reasonable due diligence investigation undertaken by the Investors in connection with the sale of Registrable
Securities, including, without limitation, by making available documents and information; provided that the Company will not deliver or make available to any Investor material, nonpublic information unless such Investor specifically requests in
advance to receive material, nonpublic information in writing. 
  
 (l) Comply with all rules and regulations of the Commission applicable to the registration of the Securities. 
  
 6.3 Registration Expenses. The Company shall pay all fees and expenses incident to the performance of or compliance with Article VI of this
Agreement by the Company, including without limitation (a) all registration and filing fees and expenses, including without limitation those related to filings with the Commission, any Trading Market and in connection with applicable state
securities or Blue Sky laws, (b) printing expenses (including without limitation expenses of printing certificates for Registrable Securities), (c) messenger, telephone and delivery expenses, (d) fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company and
up to $5,000 for fees and disbursements of Lead Investor Counsel, (e) fees and expenses of all other Persons retained by the Company in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and (f) all listing fees to
be paid by the Company to the Trading Market. 
  

 6.4 Indemnification. 
  
 (a) Indemnification by the Company. The Company shall, notwithstanding any termination of this
Agreement, indemnify and hold harmless each Investor, the officers, directors, partners, members, agents and employees of each of them, each Person who controls any such Investor (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20
of the Exchange Act) and the officers, directors, partners, members, agents and employees of each such controlling Person, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any and all Losses, as incurred, arising out of or
relating to (i) any misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty made by the Company in the Transaction Documents or any other certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) any breach of any covenant,
agreement or obligation of the Company contained in the Transaction Documents or any other certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby, (iii) any cause of action, suit or claim brought or made against such Indemnified Party
(as defined in Section 6.4(c) below) by a third party (including for these purposes a derivative action brought on behalf of the Company), arising out of or resulting from (x) execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of the Transaction
Documents or any other certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby, (y) any transaction financed or to be financed in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, with the proceeds of the issuance of the Securities, or (z) the
status of Indemnified Party as holder of the Securities or (iv) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any Prospectus or any form of Company prospectus or in any amendment or supplement
thereto or in any Company preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any Prospectus or form
of prospectus or supplement thereto, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, except to the extent, but only to the extent, that (A) such untrue statements, alleged untrue statements, omissions or alleged
omissions are based solely upon information regarding such Investor furnished in writing to the Company by such Investor for use therein, or to the extent that such information relates to such Investor or such Investor’s proposed method of
distribution of Registrable Securities, or (B) in the case of an occurrence of an event of the type specified in Section 6.2(c)(v)-(vii), the use by such Investor of an outdated or defective Prospectus after the Company has notified such
Investor in writing that the Prospectus is outdated or defective and prior to the receipt by such Investor of the Advice contemplated in Section 6.5. The Company shall notify the Investors promptly of the institution, threat or assertion of
any Proceeding of which the Company is aware in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. 
  
 (b) Indemnification by Investors. Each Investor shall, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its
directors, officers, agents and employees, each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, agents or employees of such
controlling Persons, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against all Losses (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final judgment not subject to appeal or review) arising solely out of any untrue statement
of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any Prospectus, or any form of prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto, or arising solely out of any omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the 

  

 
statements therein (in the case of any Prospectus or form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made)
not misleading to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information so furnished by such Investor to the Company specifically for inclusion in such Registration Statement or such Prospectus or
to the extent that (i) such untrue statements or omissions are based solely upon information regarding such Investor furnished to the Company by such Investor expressly for use therein, or to the extent that such information relates to such Investor
or such Investor’s proposed method of distribution of Registrable Securities and was reviewed and expressly approved by such Investor expressly for use in the Registration Statement, such Prospectus or such form of Prospectus or in any
amendment or supplement thereto or (ii) in the case of an occurrence of an event of the type specified in Section 6.2(c)(v)-(vii), the use by such Investor of an outdated or defective Prospectus after the Company has notified such Investor in
writing that the Prospectus is outdated or defective and prior to the receipt by such Investor of the Advice contemplated in Section 6.5. In no event shall the liability of any selling Investor hereunder be greater in amount than the dollar
amount of the net proceeds received by such Investor upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification obligation. 
  
 (c) Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. If any Proceeding shall be brought or asserted against any Person entitled to indemnity
hereunder (an “Indemnified Party”), such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Person from whom indemnity is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing, and the Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense
thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the payment of all fees and expenses incurred in connection with defense thereof; provided, that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give such
notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations or liabilities pursuant to this Agreement, except (and only) to the extent that it shall be finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction (which determination is not
subject to appeal or further review) that such failure shall have proximately and materially adversely prejudiced the Indemnifying Party. 
  
 An Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such Proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and
expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party or Parties unless: (i) the Indemnifying Party has agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses; or (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed promptly to assume the
defense of such Proceeding and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party in any such Proceeding; or (iii) the named parties to any such Proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnified Party and
the Indemnifying Party, and such Indemnified Party shall have been advised by counsel that a conflict of interest is likely to exist if the same counsel were to represent such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party (in which case, if such
Indemnified Party notifies the Indemnifying Party in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense thereof and such counsel shall be
at the expense of the Indemnifying Party). It being understood, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not, in connection with any one such Proceeding be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys at any time
for all Indemnified Parties, which firm shall be appointed by a majority of the Indemnified Parties; provided, however, that in the case a single firm of attorneys 

  

 
would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests of conflicts between such Indemnified Parties and any other party represented by such
counsel in such Proceeding or otherwise, then the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the fees and expenses of one additional firm of attorneys with respect to such Indemnified Parties. The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any
settlement of any such Proceeding effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending
Proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is a party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding. 
  
 All fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party (including reasonable fees and
expenses to the extent incurred in connection with investigating or preparing to defend such Proceeding in a manner not inconsistent with this Section) shall be paid to the Indemnified Party, as incurred, within ten Trading Days of written notice
thereof to the Indemnifying Party (regardless of whether it is ultimately determined that an Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder; provided, that the Indemnifying Party may require such Indemnified Party to undertake to
reimburse all such fees and expenses to the extent it is finally judicially determined that such Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder). 
  
 (d) Contribution. If a claim for indemnification under Section 6.4(a) or (b) is
unavailable to an Indemnified Party (by reason of public policy or otherwise), then each 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, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party in connection with the actions, statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses 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 a material fact or
omission or alleged omission of a material fact, has been taken or made by, or relates to information supplied by, such Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity
to correct or prevent such action, statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of any Losses shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 6.4(c), any reasonable attorneys’ or
other reasonable fees or expenses incurred by such party in connection with any Proceeding to the extent such party would have been indemnified for such fees or expenses if the indemnification provided for in this Section was available to such party
in accordance with its terms. 
  
 The parties hereto agree that it
would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 6.4(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in the
immediately preceding paragraph. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 6.4(d), no Investor shall be required to contribute, in the aggregate, any amount in excess of the amount by which the proceeds actually received by such Investor
from the sale of the Registrable Securities subject to the Proceeding exceeds the amount of any damages that such Investor has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No
Person guilty of 

  

 
fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not
guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. 
  
 The indemnity and
contribution agreements contained in this Section are in addition to any liability that the Indemnifying Parties may have to the Indemnified Parties. 
  
 6.5 Dispositions. Each Investor agrees that it will comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act as applicable to it in
connection with sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement. Each Investor further agrees that, upon receipt of a notice from the Company of the occurrence of any event of the kind described in Sections 6.2(c)(v),
(vi) or (vii), such Investor will discontinue disposition of such Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement until such Investor’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented Prospectus and/or amended Registration
Statement contemplated by Section 6.2(j), or until it is advised in writing (the “Advice”) by the Company that the use of the applicable Prospectus may be resumed, and, in either case, has received copies of any additional or
supplemental filings that are incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in such Prospectus or Registration Statement. The Company may provide appropriate stop orders to enforce the provisions of this paragraph. 
  
 6.6 No Piggyback on Registrations. Neither the Company nor any of its
security holders (other than the Investors in such capacity pursuant hereto) may include securities of the Company in the Registration Statement other than the Registrable Securities, and the Company shall not after the date hereof enter into any
agreement providing any such right to any of its security holders. 
  
 6.7 Piggy-Back Registrations. If at any time during the Effectiveness Period there is not an effective Registration Statement covering all of the Registrable Securities and the Company shall determine to prepare and file with the
Commission a registration statement relating to an offering for its own account or the account of others under the Securities Act of any of its equity securities, other than on Form S-4 or Form S-8 (each as promulgated under the Securities Act) or
their then equivalents relating to equity securities to be issued solely in connection with any acquisition of any entity or business or equity securities issuable in connection with stock option or other employee benefit plans, then the Company
shall send to each Investor written notice of such determination and if, within ten days after receipt of such notice, any such Investor shall so request in writing, the Company shall include in such registration statement all or any part of such
Registrable Securities such Investor requests to be registered. 
  
 ARTICLE VII 
 MISCELLANEOUS 
  
 7.1 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated by the Company or any Investor, by written notice to the other parties, if the Closing has not
been consummated by the third Business Day following the date of this Agreement; provided that no such termination will affect the right of any party to sue for any breach by the other party (or parties). 
  
 7.2 Fees and Expenses. At the Closing, the Company shall pay to the
Lead Investor an aggregate of $25,000 for the Lead Investor Counsel legal fees and expenses incurred in connection 

  

 
with its due diligence and the preparation and negotiation of the Transaction Documents. In lieu of the foregoing payment, the Lead Investor may retain such
amount at the Closing or require the Company to pay such amount directly to Lead Investor Counsel. Except as expressly set forth in the Transaction Documents to the contrary, each party shall pay the fees and expenses of its advisers, counsel,
accountants and other experts, if any, and all other expenses incurred by such party incident to the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement. The Company shall pay all Transfer Agent fees, stamp taxes and
other taxes and duties levied in connection with the sale and issuance of their applicable Securities. 
  
 7.3 Entire Agreement. The Transaction Documents, together with the Exhibits and Schedules thereto, contain the entire understanding of the parties
with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, with respect to such matters, which the parties acknowledge have been merged into such documents, exhibits and schedules. At or after
the Closing, and without further consideration, the Company will execute and deliver to the Investors such further documents as may be reasonably requested in order to give practical effect to the intention of the parties under the Transaction
Documents. 
  
 7.4 Notices. Any and all notices or other
communications or deliveries required or permitted to be provided hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest of (a) the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at
the facsimile number specified in this Section prior to 6:30 p.m. (New York City time) on a Trading Day, (b) the next Trading Day after the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile number
specified in this Section on a day that is not a Trading Day or later than 6:30 p.m. (New York City time) on any Trading Day, (c) the Trading Day following the date of deposit with a nationally recognized overnight courier service, or (d) upon
actual receipt by the party to whom such notice is required to be given. The addresses and facsimile numbers for such notices and communications are those set forth on the signature pages hereof, or such other address or facsimile number as may be
designated in writing hereafter, in the same manner, by any such Person. 
  
 7.5 Amendments; Waivers. No provision of this Agreement may be waived or amended except in a written instrument signed, in the case of an amendment, by the Company and each of the Investors or, in the case of a
waiver, by the party against whom enforcement of any such waiver is sought. No waiver of any default with respect to any provision, condition or requirement of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any
subsequent default or a waiver of any other provision, condition or requirement hereof, nor shall any delay or omission of either party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner impair the exercise of any such right. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, a waiver or consent to depart from the provisions hereof with respect to a matter that relates exclusively to the rights of Investors under Article VI may be given by Investors holding at least a majority of the Registrable
Securities to which such waiver or consent relates. 
  
 7.6
Construction. The headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof. The language 

  

 
used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rules of strict construction will be
applied against any party. 
  
 7.7 Successors and Assigns.
This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their successors and permitted assigns. The Company may not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the
Investors. Any Investor may assign its rights under this Agreement to any Person to whom such Investor assigns or transfers any Securities, provided such transferee agrees in writing to be bound, with respect to the transferred Securities, by the
provisions hereof that apply to the “Investors.” Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Securities may be assigned to any Person in connection with a bona fide margin account or other loan or financing arrangement secured by such
Securities. 
  
 7.8 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This
Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person, except that each Indemnified Party is an
intended third party beneficiary of Section 6.4 and (in each case) may enforce the provisions of such Sections directly against the parties with obligations thereunder. 
  
 7.9 Governing Law; Venue; Waiver of Jury Trial. THE CORPORATE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE SHALL GOVERN ALL ISSUES
CONCERNING THE RELATIVE RIGHTS OF THE COMPANY AND ITS STOCKHOLDERS. ALL QUESTIONS CONCERNING THE CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY, ENFORCEMENT AND INTERPRETATION OF THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF
THE STATE OF NEW YORK. THE COMPANY AND INVESTORS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMIT TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE STATE AND FEDERAL COURTS SITTING IN THE CITY OF NEW YORK, BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE BROUGHT BY THE COMPANY
OR ANY INVESTOR HEREUNDER, IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR WITH ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR DISCUSSED HEREIN (INCLUDING WITH RESPECT TO THE ENFORCEMENT OF ANY OF THE TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS), AND HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE, AND AGREE NOT TO ASSERT
IN ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT BY THE COMPANY OR ANY INVESTOR, ANY CLAIM THAT IT IS NOT PERSONALLY SUBJECT TO THE JURISDICTION OF ANY SUCH COURT, OR THAT SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING IS IMPROPER. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES
PERSONAL SERVICE OF PROCESS AND CONSENTS TO PROCESS BEING SERVED IN ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BY MAILING A COPY THEREOF VIA REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL OR OVERNIGHT DELIVERY (WITH EVIDENCE OF DELIVERY) TO SUCH PARTY AT THE ADDRESS IN
EFFECT FOR NOTICES TO IT UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AND AGREES THAT SUCH SERVICE SHALL CONSTITUTE GOOD AND SUFFICIENT SERVICE OF PROCESS AND NOTICE THEREOF. NOTHING CONTAINED HEREIN SHALL BE DEEMED TO LIMIT IN ANY WAY ANY RIGHT TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY
MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW. THE COMPANY AND INVESTORS HEREBY WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY. 
  

 7.10 Survival. The representations and warranties, agreements and covenants contained herein shall
survive the Closing. 
  
 7.11 Execution. This Agreement may
be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party, it being
understood that both parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such
signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile signature page were an original thereof. 
  
 7.12 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable in any respect, the validity and enforceability of the
remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and the parties will attempt to agree upon a valid and enforceable provision that is a reasonable substitute therefor, and upon so agreeing, shall
incorporate such substitute provision in this Agreement. 
  
 7.13
Rescission and Withdrawal Right. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in (and without limiting any similar provisions of) the Transaction Documents, whenever any Investor exercises a right, election, demand or option owed to
such Investor by the Company under a Transaction Document and the Company does not timely perform its related obligations within the periods therein provided, then, prior to the performance by the Company of the Company’s related obligation,
such Investor may rescind or withdraw, in its sole discretion from time to time upon written notice to such Seller, any relevant notice, demand or election in whole or in part without prejudice to its future actions and rights. 
  
 7.14 Replacement of Securities. If any certificate or instrument
evidencing any Securities is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation thereof, or in lieu of and substitution therefor, a new certificate or
instrument, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction and the execution by the holder thereof of a customary lost certificate affidavit of that fact and an agreement to indemnify and
hold harmless the Company for any losses in connection therewith. The applicants for a new certificate or instrument under such circumstances shall also pay any reasonable third-party costs associated with the issuance of such replacement
Securities. 
  
 7.15 Remedies. In addition to being
entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, each of the Investors and the Company will be entitled to seek specific performance under the Transaction Documents. The parties agree that monetary
damages may not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of obligations described in the foregoing sentence and hereby agrees to waive in any action for specific performance of any such obligation (other than in
connection with any action for temporary restraining order) the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate. 
  
 7.16 Payment Set Aside. To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to any Investor hereunder or any Investor enforces or exercises
its rights hereunder or thereunder, and 

  

 
such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or
preferential, set aside, recovered from, disgorged by or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the Company by a trustee, receiver or any other person under any law (including, without limitation, any bankruptcy law, state or
federal law, common law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent of any such restoration the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not
been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred. 
  
 7.17
Adjustments in Share Numbers and Prices. In the event of any stock split, subdivision, dividend or distribution payable in shares of Common Stock (or other securities or rights convertible into, or entitling the holder thereof to receive
directly or indirectly shares of Common Stock), combination or other similar recapitalization or event occurring after the date hereof, each reference in any Transaction Document to a number of shares or a price per share shall be amended to
appropriately account for such event. 
  
 7.18 Independent
Nature of Investors’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Investor under any Transaction Document are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Investor, and no Investor shall be responsible in any way for the
performance of the obligations of any other Investor under any Transaction Document. The decision of each Investor to purchase Securities pursuant to this Agreement has been made by such Investor independently of any other Investor and independently
of any information, materials, statements or opinions as to the business, affairs, operations, assets, properties, liabilities, results of operations, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Company or of the Subsidiary which may have
been made or given by any other Investor or by any agent or employee of any other Investor, and no Investor or any of its agents or employees shall have any liability to any other Investor (or any other person) relating to or arising from any such
information, materials, statements or opinions. Nothing contained herein or in any Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Investor pursuant thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Investors as a partnership, an association, a joint
venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Investors are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Document. Each Investor acknowledges
that no other Investor has acted as agent for such Investor in connection with making its investment hereunder and that no other Investor will be acting as agent of such Investor in connection with monitoring its investment hereunder. Each Investor
shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including without limitation the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Investor to be joined as
an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.

 Exhibit C 
  

OPINION OF COMPANY CORPORATE COUNSEL 
  
 [Date] 
  
 To the Investors Named on 
 Exhibit A Hereto 
  

	 	Re:	Curon Medical Inc.—Issuance and Sale of 4,025,000 Shares of Common Stock and Warrants to purchase 905,625 Shares of Common Stock 

  
 Ladies and Gentlemen: 
  
 We have acted as counsel to Curon Medical Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with that
certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated February 4, 2004 (the “Purchase Agreement”), among the Company and the investors named on Exhibit A hereto (the “Investors”), pursuant to which the Investors are purchasing from the
Company on the date hereof 4,025,000 shares (the “Common Shares”) of common stock, par value U.S. $0.001 per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”), and warrants (the “Warrants”) initially exercisable into 905,625
shares of Common Stock (the “Warrant Shares”). The Common Shares, the Warrants and the Warrant Shares are referred to herein collectively as the “Securities”. This opinion is being furnished to you pursuant to Section 2.2(a)(iii)
of the Purchase Agreement. Capitalized terms used herein have the same meanings given to them in the Purchase Agreement, unless otherwise defined herein. 
  
 In this regard, we have examined executed originals or copies of the following: 
  

	 	(a)	the Purchase Agreement; 

  

	 	(b)	the form of Warrant to be issued by the Company to the Investors; 

  

	 	(c)	the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company, as amended through and in effect on the date hereof, certified by the Secretary of State of the State of
Delaware as of a recent date; 

  

	 	(d)	the Bylaws of the Company, as amended through the date hereof; 

  

	 	(e)	a certificate as of a recent date of the Secretary of State of Delaware as to the good standing of the Company as a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware
(“Delaware Good Standing Certificate”); 

  

	 	(f)	resolutions of the Board of Directors of the Company adopted on February 1, 2004; 

  

	 	(g)	specimen of certificate for the Warrants; 

  

	 	(h)	the agreements listed on Exhibit B hereto (the “Reviewed Agreements”) 

  

	 	(i)	the other documents delivered by the Company and you at the Closing on the date hereof; and 

  

	 	(j)	such other instruments, corporate records, certificates of public officials, certificates of officers or other representatives of the Company and others and other documents as we
have deemed necessary or appropriate as a basis for the opinions set forth herein. 

  
 The Purchase Agreement and the Warrants are sometimes referred to collectively herein as the “Operative Documents.” 
  
 With your permission, we have assumed the following: (a) the genuineness of
all signatures; (b) the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals; (c) the conformity to authentic original documents of all documents submitted to us as copies; (d) the truth, accuracy and completeness of the information, factual
matters, representations and warranties contained in the records, documents, instruments and certificates we have reviewed as of their stated dates and as of the date hereof; (e) the legal capacity of natural persons; (f) except as specifically
covered in the opinions set forth below, the due authorization, execution and delivery on behalf of the respective parties thereto of documents referred to herein and the legal, valid and binding effect thereof on such parties; and (g) the absence
of any evidence extrinsic to the provisions of the written agreements between the parties that the parties intended a meaning contrary to that expressed by those provisions. As to any facts material to the opinions expressed herein that were not
independently established or verified, we have relied upon oral or written statements and representations of officers and other representatives of the Company and you. 
  
 As used in this opinion, the expressions “to our knowledge,” “known to us,” and similar phrases refer to
the actual knowledge of the attorneys of this firm who have regularly worked on significant legal matters for the Company, including, without limitation, in connection with the Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby. Except to
the extent expressly set forth herein, we have not undertaken any independent investigation to determine the existence or absence of any fact or the accuracy of any statement so qualified, and any limited inquiry undertaken by us during the
preparation of this opinion letter should not be regarded as such an investigation or review. No inference as to our knowledge of any matters bearing on the accuracy of any statement so qualified should be drawn from our representation of the
Company or the rendering of the opinions set forth below. 
  

 The opinions set forth below are subject to the following additional exceptions, qualifications,
limitations and assumptions: 
  

	 	A.	Members of our firm are admitted to the bar in the States of California and New York, and we do not express any opinion as to the laws of any jurisdiction other than the laws of the
United States of America, the State of California to the extent California law is expressly referenced, the State of New York (but only with respect to paragraph 5 below and only insofar as the opinions set forth therein relate to validity, binding
effect and enforceability of the agreements referred to therein), and the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”). We have made no inquiry into, and we express no opinion as to, the statutes, regulations, treaties,
common laws or other laws of any other nation, state or jurisdiction. As you know, we are not licensed to practice law in the State of Delaware, and our opinions as to the DGCL are based solely on our review of the official statutes of the State of
Delaware. 

  

	 	B.	We express no opinion as to: 

  

	 	(i)	the effect of any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, fraudulent conveyance, moratorium or other similar laws relating to or affecting the rights of creditors
generally, including, without limitation, laws relating to fraudulent transfers or conveyances and preferences; 

  

	 	(ii)	rights to indemnification and contribution which may be limited by applicable law or equitable principles; or 

  

	 	(iii)	the effect of general principles of equity, including without limitation, concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing, the effect of judicial discretion and
the possible unavailability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable relief, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law. 

  

	 	C.	With respect to our opinions expressed in paragraph 1 below, insofar as they relate to the valid existence or good standing, we have relied solely on the Delaware Good Standing
Certificate. 

  

	 	D.	We express no opinion with respect to the validity, binding nature or enforceability of any provisions of any Operative Documents imposing penalties or forfeitures, late payment
charges upon delinquency in payment or the occurrence of a default to the extent they constitute a penalty or forfeiture or are otherwise contrary to public policy. 

  

	 	E.	 We express no opinion as to any provision of the Operative Documents requiring written amendments or waivers of such documents insofar as it suggests that oral or
other modifications, amendments or waivers could not be 

  

	 	 
effectively agreed upon by the parties or that the doctrine of promissory estoppel might not apply. 

  

	 	F.	We express no opinion regarding compliance or non-compliance (or the effect thereof) with the securities laws of any state or local jurisdiction. 

  

	 	G.	Except as set forth in paragraph 10, to the extent that the obligations of the Company under the Operative Documents may be dependent upon such matters, we assume for the purposes
of this opinion letter: that the Investors have been duly organized, are validly existing and in good standing under the laws of their jurisdiction of organization; that they are duly qualified to engage in the activities contemplated for them by
the Operative Documents; that the Operative Documents have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Investors, and constitute legally valid and binding obligations thereof, enforceable against the Investors in accordance with their
respective terms; that the Investors are generally in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations; and that they have the requisite organizational and legal power to perform their obligations under the Operative Documents.

  

	 	H.	We have assumed that no offers or sales of the Securities have been made other than to “accredited investors” within the meaning of Rule 501 of the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended (the “Securities Act”). Moreover, we have assumed that the offers and sales of the Securities have been conducted in the manner contemplated by the Purchase Agreement and, in this regard, we have relied upon the applicable
representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in the Purchase Agreement and assumed compliance by the respective parties therewith. 

  

	 	I.	With respect to our opinion in paragraph 10 below, we have assumed that the Company’s solicitation of the Investor’s representations and warranties contained in the
Purchase Agreement constitutes “reasonable care” for purposes of Rule 502(d) of Regulation D. 

  

	 	J.	This opinion speaks only at and as of its date and is based solely on the facts and circumstances known to us at and as of such date. We express no opinion as to the effect on
rights under the Operative Documents of any statute, rule, regulation or other law which is enacted or becomes effective after, or of any court decision which changes the law relevant to such rights which is rendered after, the date of this opinion
or the conduct of the parties following the closing of the contemplated transaction. In addition, in rendering this opinion, we assume no obligation to revise or supplement this opinion should the present laws of the jurisdictions mentioned herein
be changed by legislative action, judicial decision or otherwise. 

  

 On the basis of the foregoing and in reliance thereon and having regard for legal considerations which we
deem relevant, and subject to the limitations and qualifications set forth herein, we advise you that in our opinion: 
  

	 	1.	The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, with corporate power and authority required to own and
operate its property and assets and carry on its business in the manner described in the SEC Reports. 

  

	 	2.	The Common Shares have been duly authorized and, when issued and delivered against payment therefor as contemplated by the Agreement, will be validly issued, fully paid and
nonassessable and free of any Liens, and will not be subject to any preemptive right under the Company’s charter or bylaws. 

  

	 	3.	The Warrants have been duly authorized and, when issued and delivered against payment therefor as contemplated by the Agreement, the Warrants will be validly issued, and will not be
subject to any preemptive right under the Company’s charter or bylaws. 

  

	 	4.	The Warrant Shares to be issued upon exercise of the Warrants have been duly authorized and reserved for issuance and, when such Warrant Shares have been exercised in accordance
with the provisions of the Warrants and have been issued and delivered against payment therefor in accordance with the terms of the Warrants, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free of any Liens, and will not be subject to any
preemptive right under the Company’s charter or bylaws. 

  

	 	5.	Each of the Operative Documents has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company, and upon due authorization, execution and delivery by the Investors under the
Operative Documents, each Operative Document will constitute a valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms. 

  

	 	6.	The execution and delivery by the Company of the Operative Documents and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby by the Company, do not: (i) result in the
violation of the Certificate of Incorporation or By-laws of the Company, (ii) result in the violation of the DGCL or any U.S. federal or California governmental statute, rule or regulation applicable to the Company or (iii) result in a breach or
violation of any Reviewed Agreement. 

  

	 	7.	 No order, consent, permit, authorization or approval from, any notice to, or the making of any declaration or filing with, any U.S. federal or California court,
regulatory authority, governmental body, regulatory agency, self-regulatory agency or stock exchange is required on the part of the Company in connection with the execution and delivery by the Company of the Operative Documents and the consummation
of the transactions contemplated thereby by the Company, except (i) qualification (or taking such action as may be necessary to secure an exemption from 

  

	 	 
qualification, if available) under the California Corporate Securities Law and other applicable state securities laws (but excluding jurisdictions outside
the United States) of the offer and sale of the Securities, (ii) the filing of Form D with the Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to the issuance of the Securities, (iii) the filing of a registration statement to cover the resale of the
Securities as required by the Purchase Agreement, and (iv) the filing of a notification with the Nasdaq Stock Market for the listing of the Common Shares and Warrant Shares. 

  

	 	8.	The authorized capital stock of the Company as set forth in the Company’s most recent SEC Report consists of 50,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share, and
5,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share. 

  

	 	9.	The Company is not an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. 

  

	 	10.	It is not necessary in connection with the offer, sale and delivery of the Securities to the Investors under the Operative Documents to register the Securities under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, it being understood that no opinion is expressed as to any subsequent resale of any Securities by such Investors. 

  

  
 This letter is rendered only
to you as an Investor under the Purchase Agreement and is solely for your benefit in connection with the transaction covered thereby. This letter may not be relied upon by you for any other purpose, or furnished to, quoted to, or relied upon by any
other person, firm or corporation for any purpose, without our prior written consent. We disclaim any obligation to update this opinion letter for events occurring or coming to our attention after the date hereof. 
  

 Exhibit D 
  

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION 
  
 The selling stockholders may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares of common stock on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on
which the shares are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. The selling stockholders may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares: 
  

	 	•	ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers; 

  

	 	•	block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

  

	 	•	purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account; 

  

	 	•	an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange; 

  

	 	•	privately negotiated transactions; 

  

	 	•	short sales; 

  

	 	•	broker-dealers may agree with the selling stockholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share; 

  

	 	•	a combination of any such methods of sale; and 

  

	 	•	any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law. 

  
 The selling stockholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus. 
  
 The selling stockholders may also engage in short sales against the box, puts
and calls and other transactions in our securities or derivatives of our securities and may sell or deliver shares in connection with these trades. 
  
 Broker-dealers engaged by the selling stockholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions
or discounts from the selling stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated. The selling stockholders do not expect these commissions and discounts to exceed what is
customary in the types of transactions involved. Any profits on the resale of shares of common stock by a broker-dealer acting as principal might be deemed to be underwriting 

  

 
discounts or commissions under the Securities Act. Discounts, concessions, commissions and similar selling expenses, if any, attributable to the sale of
shares will be borne by a selling stockholder. The selling stockholders may agree to indemnify any agent, dealer or broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving sales of the shares if liabilities are imposed on that person under the
Securities Act. 
  
 The selling stockholders may from time to time
pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares of common stock owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares of common stock from
time to time under this prospectus after we have filed an amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act of 1933 amending the list of selling stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or
other successors in interest as selling stockholders under this prospectus. 
  
 The selling stockholders also may transfer the shares of common stock in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes
of this prospectus and may sell the shares of common stock from time to time under this prospectus after we have filed an amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act of 1933 amending the list
of selling stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling stockholders under this prospectus. 
  
 The selling stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares of common stock may be deemed to be
“underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares of common stock purchased by them
may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. 
  
 We are required to pay all fees and expenses incident to the registration of the shares of common stock, including $5,000 of fees and disbursements of counsel to the selling stockholders. We have agreed to indemnify
the selling stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. 
  
 The selling stockholders have advised us that they have not entered into any agreements, understandings or arrangements with any underwriters or
broker-dealers regarding the sale of their shares of common stock, nor is there an underwriter or coordinating broker acting in connection with a proposed sale of shares of common stock by any selling stockholder. If we are notified by any selling
stockholder that any material arrangement has been entered into with a broker-dealer for the sale of shares of common stock, if required, we will file a supplement to this prospectus. If the selling stockholders use this prospectus for any sale of
the shares of common stock, they will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. 
  
 The anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 may apply to sales of our common stock and activities of the selling
stockholders.

you shall issue the certificates representing the Common Shares and the Warrant Shares so sold to the transferees registered in the names of such transferees, and such certificates shall not bear any legend restricting 

  

 
transfer of the Common Shares and the Warrant Shares thereby and should not be subject to any stop-transfer restriction. 
  
 A form of written confirmation (to be used in connection with any sale) from
the Company’s outside legal counsel that a registration statement covering resales of the Common Shares and the Warrant Shares has been declared effective by the SEC under the 1933 Act is attached hereto as Exhibit II. 
  
 Please be advised that the Holders are relying upon this letter as an
inducement to enter into the Agreement and, accordingly, each Holder is a third party beneficiary to these instructions.

one-thousandth of a share of the Company’s Series A Participating Preferred Stock (“Preferred Stock”) at an exercise price of $30.00. The agreement is designed to assure stockholders fair value in the event of a future unsolicited
business combination or similar transaction.
  
 The Rights do not have any voting
rights, and will expire upon the earlier of redemption or November 20, 2011. If the Rights are exercised, each stockholder receives one one-thousandth of a share of Preferred Stock, which entitles the holder to one additional vote and dividends and
liquidation rights equal to that paid on common stock.

  
 The Company believes
that Paul Economus, with his affiliates, beneficially owns approximately 1,115,000 shares of Common Stock, which is approximately 5.5% of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company as of December 31, 2003.

REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT 
  
 AGREEMENT between FiberNet Telecom Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and gateway.realty.new jersey.llc, a New Jersey limited
liability company (the “Shareholder”). 
  
 W I T N E S
S E T H: 
  
 WHEREAS, the Company, through its wholly owned
subsidiary, Local Fiber, LLC (“Local Fiber”), has purchased substantially all of the assets of the Shareholder pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement, dated as of December 31, 2003, between the Company, Local Fiber and the Shareholder
(the “Purchase Agreement”); and 
  
 WHEREAS, in
connection with the Purchase Agreement, the Company intends to register and the Shareholder desires that the Company register the Shares and the Additional Shares, and any other shares of the Company’s Common Stock issued in respect of the
Shares or the Additional Shares by way of stock split, stock dividend or other distribution, recapitalization or otherwise, held or to be held by Shareholder or permitted transferees of the Shareholder in such registration (the “Registrable
Securities”). 
  
 NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the
premises and the mutual terms and provisions hereof, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows: 
  
 1. Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement, capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Purchase
Agreement and the following terms shall have the following respective meanings: 
  
 (a) “Act” shall mean the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any similar federal statute enacted hereafter, and the rules and
regulations of the Commission thereunder, all as the same shall be in effect from time to time. 
  
 (b) “Commission” shall mean the Securities and Exchange Commission or any other federal agency at the time administering the
Act. 
  
 (c) “Common Stock” shall mean
the common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company. 
  
 (d) “Exchange Act” shall mean the Securities Exchange of 1934, as amended, or any similar federal statute enacted hereafter, and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder, all as the same shall
be in effect from time to time. 
  
 (e)
“Holder” shall mean the Shareholder and any member of the Shareholder who is the beneficial owner of any of the Shares or the Additional Shares. 

 (f) “Registrable Securities” shall have the meaning set forth in the second
WHEREAS clause hereof 
  
 (g) The terms
“register,” “registered” and “registration” refer to a registration effected by preparing and filing a registration statement in compliance with the Act and the declaration or ordering of effectiveness of such
registration statement by the Commission. 
  
 2.
Registration. 
  
 (a) With respect to the
Registrable Securities issued pursuant to Section 3.2(b) of the Purchase Agreement, within thirty (30) days of the date hereof (the “Filing Date”), the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to prepare and file with the
Commission a “resale” registration statement covering all such Registrable Securities for an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 under the Act. Such registration statement shall be on Form S-3 (except if the
Company is not then eligible to register for resale such Registrable Securities on Form S-3, in which case such registration shall be on another appropriate form in accordance herewith). The Company shall also use its commercially reasonable efforts
to have such registration statement declared effective within 60 days from the Filing Date. In the event any shares of Company Common tock are issued in respect of the Shares by way of stock split, dividend or other distribution, recapitalization or
otherwise, the Company shall promptly amend the registration to include such newly issued shares to the extent such amendment is necessary to include such issued shares in such registration statement. 
  
 (b) With respect to the Registrable Securities issued
pursuant to Section 3.3(d) or Section 3.3(e) of the Purchase Agreement, if any, within thirty (30) days of the date of issuance of such Registrable Securities (the “Second Filing Date”), the Company shall use its commercially reasonable
efforts to prepare and file with the Commission a “resale” registration statement covering all such Registrable Securities for an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 under the Act. Such registration statement
shall be on Form S-3 (except if the Company is not then eligible to register for resale such Registrable Securities on Form S-3, in which case such registration shall be on another appropriate form in accordance herewith). The Company shall also use
its commercially reasonable efforts to have the registration statement declared effective within 60 days from the Second Filing Date. In the event any shares of Company Common tock are issued in respect of the Additional Shares by way of stock
split, dividend or other distribution, recapitalization or otherwise, the Company shall promptly amend the registration to include such newly issued shares to the extent such amendment is necessary to include such issued shares in such registration
statement. 
  
 (c) Shareholder acknowledges and
understands that: (i) the Company shall register only the Registrable Securities in fulfillment of its obligations to register the Registrable Securities pursuant to the Purchase Agreement; and (ii) the Company shall be under no additional
obligation to register any other securities of the Company held by any Holder, including, without limitation, options or other rights of the Shareholder to acquire securities of the Company. 
  

 2 

 3. Furnishing of Information. Each Holder shall furnish to the Company such information regarding
the Holder, its officers, directors, shareholders, members, family members, and affiliates, as applicable, the Shares, the Additional Shares and the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Securities as the Company shall reasonably request
and as shall be required in connection with the action to be taken by the Company pursuant to this Agreement. 
  
 4. Suspension of Disposition of Shares. The Holder agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company, of (a) the happening of any event as a
result of which the prospectus included in such registration statement contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits any fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, (b) any requests by the Commission for amendments or
supplements to the registration statement or the prospectus or for additional information, (c) the issuance of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the registration statement, (d) the information in the registration statement no longer
being sufficient to permit continued sales under the registration statement, or (e) 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, the
Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of the Registrable Securities until the Company notifies the Holder in writing that sales of Registrable Securities may continue. If so directed by the Company, such Holder will deliver to the Company
(at the expense of the Company) all copies, other than permanent file copies then in the Holder’s possession, of the prospectus covering such Registrable Securities at the time of receipt of such notice. 
  
 5. Expenses of Registration. All reasonable expenses, other than
underwriting discounts and commissions, incurred in connection with registrations, filings or qualifications pursuant to Section 2, including, without limitation, all registration, listing and qualification fees, printers and accounting fees and the
fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company and one counsel for the Holders shall be borne by the Company; provided, however, that in no event shall the Company be responsible for more than $7,500 in fees and disbursements of such counsel in
any registration hereunder. The Shareholder shall bear the fees and disbursements of its own counsel, if any, in excess of those referred to in the immediately preceding sentence, which fees of such counsel shall not exceed $7,500. 
  
 6. Limitation of the Company’s Obligations. The Company shall not
be obligated under this Agreement to register or include in any registration Registrable Securities that any Holder has requested to be registered if the Company shall furnish such Holder with a written opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to
the Holder that all Registrable Securities that such Holder holds may be publicly offered, sold and distributed without registration under the Act pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated by the Commission under the Act without restriction as to the amount
of securities that can be sold or the timing of any such sale. 
  
 7. Indemnification. 
  
 (a) Except
in the case of a sale by a Holder in violation of Section 4 hereof, the Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, its directors, its members, its officers and each person, if any, who controls any Holder within the meaning of
Section 15 of the 
  

 3 

 Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities
and judgments (including, without limitation, any reasonable legal or other expenses incurred in connection with investigating or defending any matter, including any action, that could give rise to any such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or
judgments) caused by any untrue statement of a material fact contained in the registration statement filed by the Company pursuant to Section 2, including any final prospectus contained therein (or any amendment thereto), or caused by 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, except insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or judgments are caused by any such untrue
statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission based upon information relating to any Holder furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder expressly for use therein. 
  
 (b) Each Holder agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, its officers and each
person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and judgments (including, without limitation, any legal or
other expenses incurred in connection with investigating or defending any matter, including any action, that could give rise to any such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or judgments) caused by any untrue statement of a material fact contained
in the registration statement filed pursuant to Section 2, including any final prospectus contained therein (or any amendment thereto), or caused by 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, but only with respect to losses, claims, damages, liabilities and judgments caused by an untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission based on information relating to
such Holder furnished in writing by or on behalf of such Holder expressly for use in the registration statement filed pursuant to Section 2, including any final prospectus contained therein (or any amendment thereto). 
  
 (c) In case any action shall be commenced involving any
person entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 7(a) or 7(b) (the “Indemnified Party”), the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing
and the Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense of such action, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the payment of all reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel, as incurred. Any
Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party unless (i) the employment of such
counsel shall have been specifically authorized in writing by the Indemnifying Party, (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed to assume the defense of such action or employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party or (iii) the
named parties to any such action (including any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, and the Indemnified Party shall have been advised by such counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses
available to it which are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party (in which case the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action on behalf of the Indemnified Party). In any such
case, the Indemnifying Party shall not, in connection with any one action or separate but 
  

 4 

 substantially similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general
allegations or circumstances, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (in addition to any local counsel) for all Indemnified Parties. The Indemnifying Party shall indemnify and hold harmless the
Indemnified Party from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and judgments by reason of any settlement of any action effected with its written consent. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the
Indemnified Party, effect any settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened action in respect of which the Indemnified Party is or could have been a party and indemnity or contribution
may be or could have been sought hereunder by the Indemnified Party, unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (i) includes an unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are or could have been the subject
matter of such action, (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party and (iii) involves only the payment of money by the Indemnified Party. 
  
 (d) To the extent the indemnification provided for in this
Section 7 is unavailable (other than in accordance with the terms hereof) to an Indemnified Party or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or judgments referred to therein, then each 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, liabilities and judgments (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative
benefits received by the Indemnifying Party(ies) on the one hand and the Indemnified Party(ies) on the other hand from the offering of the Shares or Additional Shares, as the case may be, or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause 7(d)(i) above is
not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause 7(d)(i) above but also the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party or parties on the one hand and the Indemnified
Party or parties on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or judgments, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided, however, that in no event
shall any Holder be liable for any amounts in excess of the proceeds from the sale of such Holder’s Shares and Additional Shares hereunder. The relative fault of the Company and the Holder shall be determined by reference to, among other
things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or the Holder, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge,
access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities or judgments referred to in the immediately preceding
paragraph shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any reasonable legal or other expenses incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any matter, including any action, that could
have given rise to such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or judgments. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such
fraudulent misrepresentation. 
  
 8. Agreements of the
Holders. Each Holder agrees: 
  

 5 

 (a) whether or not the transactions contemplated in this Agreement are consummated or
this Agreement is terminated, to pay or cause to be paid all reasonable expenses incident to the performance of the Holder’s obligations under this Agreement, including: (i) any fees, disbursements and expenses of Holder’s counsel in
connection with the registration and delivery of the Registrable Securities under the Act as required by Section 5 of this Agreement, (ii) all costs and expenses related to the transfer and delivery of the Registrable Securities, including any
transfer or other taxes payable thereon, and (iii) all other costs and expenses incident to the performance of the obligations of the Holder hereunder for which provision is not otherwise made in this Agreement. The provisions of this Section shall
not supersede or otherwise affect any separate agreement that the Company and any Holder or Holders may have for allocation of such expenses among themselves; and 
  
 (b) that such Holder will not offer to sell, contract to sell, or otherwise sell, dispose of, loan, pledge
or grant any rights with respect to (collectively, a “Disposition”) the Shares or any other securities of the Company issued in respect of the Shares (by way of stock split, stock dividend or other distribution, recapitalization or
otherwise) (collectively, “Securities”) now owned or hereafter acquired directly or indirectly by such person or with respect to which such person has or hereafter acquires the power of Disposition, otherwise than (i) as a bona fide gift
or gifts, provided the donee or donees thereof agree in writing to be bound by this restriction, (ii) as a distribution to members of such person, provided that the distributees thereof agree in writing to be bound by the terms of this restriction,
or (iii) with the prior written consent of the Company. The foregoing restrictions shall commence on the date hereof and end, subject to applicable federal and state securities laws, on the earlier of (x) the 180th day following the date the registration statement as required to be filed pursuant to Section 2(a) herein is declared effective by the Commission
(the “Lock-Up Period”), and (y) September 30, 2004. The Holder agrees that the foregoing restriction precludes the Holder from engaging in any hedging or other transaction that is designed to or reasonably expected to lead to or result in
a Disposition of Securities during the Lock-up Period, even if such Securities would be disposed of by someone other than such Holder. Such prohibited hedging or other transactions would include, without limitation, any short sale (whether or not
against the box) or any purchase, sale or grant of any right (including, without limitation, any put or call option) with respect to any Securities or with respect to any security (other than a broad-based market basket or index) that includes,
relates to or derives any significant part of its value from Securities. The Holder also agrees and consents to the entry of stop transfer instructions with the Company’s transfer agent and registrar against the transfer of Securities held by
such Holder except in compliance with the foregoing restrictions. 
  
 9. Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement, including the provisions of this sentence, may be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may be given, by
written consent of the Company and the Shareholder.
