Act”), which may include without limitation the exemption afforded by Regulation S promulgated thereunder, the Company has agreed to issue and sell, and the Purchaser has agreed to purchase a number of shares of common stock, par value
$0.01 per share (the “Common Stock,”), of the Company.

this Agreement to be performed, satisfied or complied with by the Company at or prior to the Closing and receipt of a certificate, dated the Closing Date, executed by the principal executive officer and principal accounting officer of the Company
certifying as to such; 

  

	 	(v)	receipt by the Purchaser of a legal opinion, dated the Closing Date, from counsel to the Company, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser’s
counsel; 

  

	 	(vi)	no temporary restraining order, preliminary or permanent injunction or other order or decree, and no other legal restraint or prohibition, shall exist which questions
the validity of this Agreement or the right of the Company or the Purchaser, as the case may be, to enter into this Agreement or prevents or could reasonably be expected to prevent the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement,
nor shall any proceeding have been commenced or threatened with respect to the foregoing and receipt of a certificate, dated the Closing Date, executed by the principal executive officer and the principal accounting officer of the Company certifying
to their knowledge as to such; 

  

	 	(vii)	 from the date hereof to the Closing Date, trading in the Common Stock shall not have been suspended by the SEC or the NASDAQ Capital Market (except for

 (d) Conditions to the Company’s Obligation to Issue and Sell the Shares. The Company’s obligation to issue and sell the

	 	3.	REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY 

 The Company represents and warrants to the Purchaser, subject to such exceptions as are set forth in the SEC Documents (as defined below) or as otherwise disclosed in the Company’s disclosure letter
previously delivered to the Purchaser, as follows: 
 (a) Organization and Qualification. The Company is a corporation,
duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and has the requisite corporate power and authority to own its properties and to carry on its business as now being conducted and as described
in the SEC Documents. Copies of the Company’s Restated Articles of Organization, as amended (the “Articles of Organization”) and Bylaws of the Company (the “Bylaws”), and all amendments thereto, have been filed
as exhibits to the Company’s SEC Documents and have not been further modified, and except as required by the transactions contemplated hereby, the Company has no present intention to modify the Articles of Organization and Bylaws. The Company
is duly qualified as a foreign corporation to do business, and is in good standing, in every jurisdiction in which its ownership of property or the nature of the business conducted and proposed to be conducted by it makes such qualification
necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing would not, individually or in the aggregate, have or reasonably be expected to result in a material adverse effect on the condition (financial or otherwise), prospects,
earnings, business or properties of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, whether or not arising from transactions in the ordinary course of business (“Material Adverse Effect”). 
 (b) Subsidiaries. Each of the Company’s Subsidiaries has been duly organized and is validly existing and in good standing under
the laws of its jurisdiction of organization, is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in which its ownership or lease of property or the conduct of its business requires such
qualification, and has all power and authority necessary to own or hold its properties and to conduct the business in which it is engaged, except where the failure to so qualify or have such power or authority would not have, singularly or in the
aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. All the outstanding shares of capital stock of each Subsidiary have been duly authorized and validly issued, are fully paid and nonassessable and are owned by the Company directly or indirectly through one or
more wholly-owned subsidiaries, free and clear of any claim, lien, encumbrance, security interest, restriction upon voting or transfer or any other claim of any third party. No Subsidiary is currently prohibited, directly or indirectly, under any
agreement to which it is a party, from paying any dividends to the Company, from making any other distribution on such Subsidiary’s capital stock, from repaying to the Company any loans or advances to such Subsidiary from the Company or from
transferring any of such Subsidiary’s properties or assets to the Company or any other subsidiary of the Company. For purposes of this Agreement, “Subsidiaries” means those entities that are “significant subsidiaries”
of the Company as determined in accordance with Regulation S-X. 
 (c) Authorization; Enforcement; Validity. The Company
has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement and to issue the Shares in accordance with the terms hereof. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Company and the
consummation and performance by the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby, including, without limitation, the issuance of the Shares, have been duly

  

 -4- 

 
authorized by all requisite corporate action. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Company. This Agreement constitutes the valid and binding obligation of the Company
enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity or applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation or similar laws relating to, or
affecting generally, the enforcement of creditors’ rights and remedies. 
 (d) Capitalization. The capitalization of
the Company is as described in the Company’s most recent periodic report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) as updated by any current report filed with the SEC thereafter, and all of the issued shares
of capital stock of the Company have been duly and validly authorized and issued, are fully paid and non-assessable, and have been issued in compliance with federal and state securities laws. The Company has not issued any capital stock since such
filings other than pursuant to the exercise of stock options under the Company’s stock option plans, the issuance of shares of Common Stock to employees pursuant to the Company’s employee stock purchase plan (such issuances and any such
stock options, whenever issued or granted, being collectively “Employee Equity Transactions”), pursuant to the conversion or exercise of outstanding securities that are convertible into or exercisable for Common Stock, or pursuant
to publicly disclosed equity financings. The Company’s Common Stock is registered pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Exchange
Act”), and is listed for trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”). The Company is in compliance with the continued listing criteria of Nasdaq and all Nasdaq corporate governance requirements that are applicable to
the Company. Except for Employee Equity Transactions and as set forth in the SEC Documents, (i) no shares of the Company’s capital stock are subject to preemptive rights or any other similar rights or any liens or encumbrances;
(ii) there are no outstanding options, warrants, rights to subscribe to, calls or commitments relating to, or securities or rights convertible into, any shares of capital stock of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or contracts,
commitments, understandings or arrangements by which the Company is or may become bound to issue additional shares of capital stock of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or options, warrants, rights to subscribe to, calls or commitments relating
to, or securities or rights convertible into, any shares of capital stock of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. 
 (e)
Issuance of Shares. The Shares are duly authorized and, upon issuance in accordance with the terms hereof, will be (A) validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and (B) free from all taxes, liens and charges in the United States
of America with respect to the issuance thereof, other than any liens or encumbrances created by or imposed by the Purchaser, and not subject to preemptive rights or other similar rights of stockholders of the Company. Except for the filing of any
notice prior or subsequent to the Closing that may be required under applicable state and/or Federal securities laws (or comparable laws of any other jurisdiction) or the rules of Nasdaq, no authorization, consent, approval, license, exemption of or
filing or registration with any court or governmental department, commission, board, bureau, agency or instrumentality, is or will be necessary for, or in connection with, the execution and delivery by the Company of this Agreement, for the offer,
issue, sale, execution or delivery of the Shares, or for the performance by the Company of its obligations under this Agreement. 
  

 -5- 

 (f) No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the
Company and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby do not and will not (i) result in a violation of the Company’s Articles of Organization or Bylaws; (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an
event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under any agreement, indenture or instrument to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party; (iii) result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order,
judgment or decree applicable to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; or (iv) result in the imposition of a mortgage, pledge, security interest, encumbrance, charge or other lien on any asset of the Company or its Subsidiaries, except for
such conflicts, defaults, terminations, amendments, accelerations, cancellations, violations and impositions as described in clauses (ii), (iii) or (iv) of this sentence as would not, individually or in the aggregate, have or result in a
Material Adverse Effect. 
 (g) No Violation or Default. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is (i) in
violation of its Articles of Organization or Bylaws or other organizational documents; (ii) in default (or subject to an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under any agreement, indenture or instrument to
which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party; or (iii) in violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree applicable to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; except for such violations or defaults, as described in
clauses (ii) or (iii) of this sentence as are set forth in the SEC Documents or as would not, individually or in the aggregate, have or result in a Material Adverse Effect. 
 (h) SEC Documents. The Company has filed all reports, schedules, forms, statements, exhibits (including certifications of the
Company’s principal executive and financial officers pursuant to Section 302 and 906 of Sarbanes-Oxley (as defined in Section 3(s))) and other documents required to be filed by it with the SEC pursuant to the reporting requirements of
the Exchange Act for the twelve (12) months preceding the date hereof (all of the foregoing filed prior to or on the date hereof, or prior to the Closing Date, and all exhibits included therein and financial statements and schedules thereto and
documents incorporated by reference therein being referred to in this Agreement as the “SEC Documents”). As of the date of filing of each such SEC Document, such SEC Document, as it may have been subsequently amended by filings made
by the Company with the SEC prior to the date hereof, complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder applicable to such SEC Document. None of the SEC
Documents, as of the date filed and as they may have been subsequently amended by filings made by the Company with the SEC prior to the date hereof, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. 
 (i) Financial Statements. The financial statements and the related notes thereto of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries included or incorporated by reference in the SEC Documents comply
in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Exchange Act, as applicable, and present fairly the financial position of the Company and its subsidiaries as of the dates indicated and the results of their operations and the changes
in their cash flows for the periods specified. Such financial statements have been prepared in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods
covered thereby, except as specifically stated therein, and the supporting

  

 -6- 

 
schedules included or incorporated by reference in the SEC Documents present fairly the information required to be stated therein. 
 (j) No Material Adverse Change. Since the date of the most recent financial statements of the Company included or incorporated by
reference in the SEC Documents, (i) there has not been any change in the capital stock (other than pursuant to Employee Equity Transactions, pursuant to the conversion or exercise of outstanding securities that are convertible into or
exercisable for Common Stock, or pursuant to publicly disclosed equity financings) or long-term debt of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, or any dividend or distribution of any kind declared, set aside for payment, paid or made by the Company
on any class of capital stock, or any material adverse change in or affecting the business, properties, management, financial condition or operations of the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole; (ii) neither the Company nor any of its
subsidiaries has entered into any transaction or agreement that is material to the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole or incurred any liability or obligation, direct or contingent, that is material to the Company and its subsidiaries
taken as a whole and (iii) neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has sustained any material loss or interference with its business from fire, explosion, flood or other calamity, whether or not covered by insurance, or from any labor
disturbance or dispute or any action, order or decree of any court or arbitrator or governmental or regulatory authority. 
 (k)
Independent Accountants. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, who have certified certain financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries, and have audited the Company’s internal control over financial reporting and managements’
assessment thereof, are to the Company’s knowledge, independent registered public accountants with respect to the Company and its subsidiaries as required by the Securities Act. 
 (l) Clinical Trials. The clinical, pre-clinical and other studies and tests conducted by or on behalf of or sponsored by the Company
were and, if still pending, are being conducted in accordance with all statutes, laws, rules and regulations, as applicable (including, without limitation, those administered by the United States Food and Drug Administration (the
“FDA”) or by any foreign, federal, state or local government or regulatory authority performing functions similar to those performed by the FDA) except where the failure to comply with such statutes, laws, rules or regulations would
not result, individually or in the aggregate, in a Material Adverse Effect. 
 (m) Title to Intellectual Property. The
Company and its subsidiaries own or possess adequate rights to use all material patents, patent applications, trademarks, service marks, trade names, trademark registrations, service mark registrations, copyrights, licenses and know-how (including
trade secrets and other unpatented or unpatentable proprietary or confidential compounds, genes, information, systems or procedures) (collectively, the “Intellectual Property”) generally described in the SEC Documents (except as
otherwise noted therein), which to the Company’s knowledge is all the Intellectual Property necessary for the conduct of the Company’s business. Except as set forth in the SEC Documents, (i) to the Company’s knowledge, there are
no rights of third parties to any such Intellectual Property except through licensing or cross-licensing agreements or where the exercise of such rights would not result, individually or in the aggregate, in a Material Adverse Effect; (ii) to
the Company’s knowledge, there is no infringement by third parties of any such Intellectual Property that is necessary and

  

 -7- 

 
material to the Company’s business as it is presently being conducted except where such infringement would not result, individually or in the aggregate, in a Material Adverse Effect;
(iii) there is no pending or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened action, suit, proceeding or claim by others challenging the Company’s ownership or licensing rights in or to any such Intellectual Property; (iv) there is no
pending or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened action, suit, proceeding or claim by others challenging the validity or scope of any such Intellectual Property, other than ordinary patent, trademark, service mark and copyright prosecution;
(v) there is no pending or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened action, suit, proceeding or claim by others that the Company infringes or otherwise violates any patent, trademark, copyright, trade secret or other proprietary rights of
others, and the Company is unaware of any reasonable basis for any such claim; and (vi) the Company has taken all steps reasonably determined by the Company to be necessary to perfect its ownership of and interest in such Intellectual Property.

 (n) Licenses and Permits. The Company and its subsidiaries possess all licenses, certificates, permits and other
authorizations issued by, and have made all declarations and filings with, the appropriate Federal, state, local or foreign governmental or regulatory authorities that are necessary for the ownership or lease of their respective properties or the
conduct of their respective businesses as described in the SEC Documents, except where the failure to possess or make the same would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Company nor any of its
subsidiaries has received notice of any revocation or modification of any such license, certificate, permit or authorization or has any reason to believe that any such license, certificate, permit or authorization will not be renewed in the ordinary
course. 
 (o) Environmental Matters. The Company and each of its subsidiaries is in compliance with all foreign,
federal, state and local rules, laws and regulations relating to the use, treatment, storage and disposal of hazardous or toxic substances or waste and protection of health and safety or the environment which are applicable to their businesses,
except where the failure to comply would not, singularly or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. To the Company’s knowledge, there has been no storage, generation, transportation, handling, treatment, disposal, discharge, emission,
or other release of any kind of toxic or other wastes or other hazardous substances by, due to, or caused by the Company or any of its subsidiaries (or, to the Company’s knowledge, any other entity for whose acts or omissions the Company is or
may be liable) upon any of the property now or previously owned or leased by the Company or any of its subsidiaries, or upon any other property, in violation of any statute or any ordinance, rule, regulation, order, judgment, decree or permit or
which would, under any statute or any ordinance, rule (including rule of common law), regulation, order, judgment, decree or permit, give rise to any liability, except for any violation or liability which would not have, singularly or in the
aggregate with all such violations and liabilities, a Material Adverse Effect. There has been no disposal, discharge, emission or other release of any kind onto such property or into the environment surrounding such property of any toxic or other
wastes or other hazardous substances with respect to which the Company has knowledge, except for any such disposal, discharge, emission, or other release of any kind which would not have, singularly or in the aggregate with all such discharges and
other releases, a Material Adverse Effect. 
  

 -8- 

 (p) Tax Matters. The Company and each of its subsidiaries (i) has filed all
necessary federal, state and foreign income and franchise tax returns, (ii) has paid all federal state, local and foreign taxes due and payable for which it is liable, and (iii) does not have any tax deficiency or claims outstanding or
assessed or, to the best of the Company’s knowledge, proposed against it, except where the failure to file, failure to pay or the deficiency or claim would not have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 (q) Internal Control over Financial Reporting. The Company maintains a system of internal control over financial reporting (as such
is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that complies with the requirements of the Exchange Act and has been designed by the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, or under their supervision, to provide
reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP. The Company does not have any material weaknesses in its internal control over financial
reporting. Since the date of the latest audited financial statements included in the SEC Documents, there has been no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to
materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. 
 (r) Disclosure Controls and
Procedures. The Company and its subsidiaries maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act) that comply with the requirements of the Exchange Act. Such disclosure controls and
procedures have been designed to ensure that material information relating to the Company and its subsidiaries is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s principal executive officer and principal
financial officer, by others within those entities. 
 (s) Sarbanes-Oxley Compliance. The Company and the Company’s

Section 402 related to loans and Sections 302 and 906 related to certifications. 
 (t) Absence of Litigation.
Except as disclosed in the section titled “Legal Proceedings” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 28, 2008, there is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by any
court, public board, government agency, self-regulatory organization or body pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened in writing against the Company or any of its subsidiaries which (i) adversely affects or challenges the
legality, validity or enforceability of this Agreement or the Shares or (ii) would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 
 (u) Investment Company Act. The Company is not, nor, after giving effect to the sale of the Shares and the application of the proceeds therefrom, will it become, an “investment company”
within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder.

 (v) Board Approval. An independent committee of the Board of Directors of the Company
(the “Board”) has determined that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, are fair to, and in the best interests of, all holders of Common Stock of the Company; and the Board, or an independent committee thereof, has
approved the transactions contemplated by this Agreement for purposes of Chapter 110F of the Massachusetts General Laws. 
  

	 	4.	PURCHASER’S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES 

 The Purchaser represents and warrants to the Company that: 
 (a) Transfer or
Resale. The Purchaser understands that the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws, and may not be offered for sale, sold, assigned or transferred without registration under the Securities Act or an
exemption therefrom and that, in the absence of an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, such Shares may only be sold under certain circumstances as set forth in the Securities Act. 
 (b) Investment Purpose. The Purchaser is acquiring the Shares for its own account for investment only and not with a view towards, or
for resale in connection with, the public sale or distribution thereof. The Purchaser does not have any agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute any of the Shares. 
 (c) Offshore Transaction. The Purchaser is not organized under the laws of any jurisdiction within the United States of America, its
territories or possessions, was not formed for the purpose of investing in Regulation S securities and is not a “U.S. person” as that term is defined in Rule 902(k) of Regulation S under the Securities Act. At the time of execution of this
Agreement, the Purchaser is physically outside the United States of America. The Purchaser is not purchasing the Shares on behalf of or for the benefit of any U.S. person and the sale of the Shares has not been prearranged with any buyer in the
United States of America. 
 (d) General Solicitation. The Purchaser is not purchasing the Shares as a result of any
advertisement, article, notice or other communication regarding the Shares published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio or presented at any seminar or any other general solicitation or general
advertisement. 
 (e) Information. The Purchaser (directly or through its advisors, if any) (i) has been furnished
with or has had full access to all of the publicly available information that it considers necessary or appropriate for deciding whether to purchase the Shares, (ii) has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Company
regarding the terms and conditions of the offering of the Shares, (iii) can bear the economic risk of a total loss of its investment in the Shares and (iv) has such knowledge and experience in business and financial matters so as to enable
it to understand the risks of and form an investment decision with respect to its investment in the Shares. 
 (f) Reliance
on Exemptions. The Purchaser understands that the Shares are being offered and sold to it in reliance on specific exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and that the Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy of,
and the Purchaser’s compliance with, the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and

  

 -10- 

 
understandings of the Purchaser set forth in this Agreement in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of the Purchaser to acquire the Shares. 
 (g) No Governmental Review. The Purchaser 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 Shares or the fairness or suitability of the investment in the Shares nor have such authorities passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the Shares.

 (h) No Antitrust Filings or Approvals. Neither the Purchaser nor Laboratoire Francais du Fractionnement et des
Biotechnologies S.A., the Purchaser’s parent company, is required to make any filing or obtain any authorization, consent, approval, license, exemption or registration under the United States Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of
1976, or under the antitrust or similar laws or regulations of any other jurisdiction, in connection with the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement. 
 (i) Authorization; Enforcement; Validity. The Purchaser is an entity duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization with full right, corporate or
partnership power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder. The execution, delivery and performance by the Purchaser of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Purchaser and any other governmental action with respect to the Purchaser. This Agreement has been duly executed by the Purchaser, and when
delivered by the Purchaser in accordance with terms hereof, will constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of the Purchaser, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms. 
 (j) No Conflicts. The execution and performance of this Agreement do not conflict with any agreement to which the Purchaser is a
party or is otherwise bound, any law, rule regulation, governmental practice or other requirement, court order or judgment applicable to the Purchaser or, if applicable, the constituent documents of the Purchaser, except for such conflicts as would
not, individually or in the aggregate, have or result in a material adverse effect on the condition (financial or otherwise), prospects, earnings, business or properties of the Purchaser and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole. 
 (k) Short Position Prior to the Date Hereof. From the date one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the date hereof, neither the
Purchaser nor any affiliate has directly or indirectly established or agreed to establish any hedge, “put equivalent position” (as defined in Rule 16a-1 under the Exchange Act) or other position in the Common Stock that is outstanding on
the Closing Date and that is designed to or could reasonably be expected to lead to or result in a disposition by the Purchaser or any other person or entity. For purposes hereof, a “hedge or other position” includes, without
limitation, effecting any short sale or having in effect any short position (whether or not such sale or position is against the box and regardless of when such position was entered into) or any purchase, sale or grant of any right (including,
without limitation, any put or call option) with respect to the Common Stock or with respect to any security (other than a broad-based market basket or index) that includes, relates to or derives any

  

 -11- 

 
significant part of its value from the Common Stock. The Purchaser acknowledges that this representation is made for the benefit of the Company. 
 (l) Short Sales and Confidentiality After the Date Hereof. The Purchaser understands and acknowledges that the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement constitute “material non-public information” within the meaning of the rules and regulation promulgated by the SEC under Regulation FD and that until such time as such the transactions have been publicly
disclosed in accordance with Section 8 or otherwise, the Purchaser represents, warrants and covenants that neither it nor any of its affiliates acting on its behalf or pursuant to any understanding with it have executed or will execute any
short sales of the Company’s Common Stock and that it will maintain the confidentiality of all disclosures made to it in connection with the offering of Common Stock (including the existence and terms of this Agreement and the transactions
contemplated hereby). 
 (m) Ownership. The Purchaser’s current beneficial ownership of the Company’s
Common Stock is accurately reported in the Purchaser’s most recent Schedule 13D filed with the SEC. 
  

	 	5.	RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER; OWNERSHIP OF SHARES 

 (a) Resales. The Purchaser agrees that the Shares may only be sold or transferred (i) pursuant to an effective Registration Statement under the Securities Act, or (ii) pursuant to an
exemption from registration under the Securities Act. The Purchaser hereby covenants that the Purchaser will not sell any Shares during a Suspension (as defined below). 
 (b) Rule 144. The Purchaser is aware of Rule 144 under the Securities Act and the restrictions imposed thereby and further understands and agrees that so long as the Purchaser beneficially owns 10%
or more of the Company’s then outstanding securities or has a designee selected by the Purchaser serving on the Board, the Company will deem the Purchaser to be an “affiliate” as defined in Rule 144(a)(1) and any transfers of the
Shares by the Purchaser shall be subject to the limitations applicable to affiliates set forth in the Securities Act and the rules promulgated thereunder, including without limitation Rule 144. 
 (c) Legends. The certificate(s) evidencing the Shares shall bear legends in substantially the following form: 
 “THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS ON THE TRANSFER THEREOF PURSUANT TO THE TERMS OF A
STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE HOLDER AND THE COMPANY AND SUCH SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR HYPOTHECATED UNTIL SUCH RESTRICTIONS HAVE LAPSED OR HAVE BEEN WAIVED BY THE WRITTEN CONSENT OF THE COMPANY. 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”),

  

 -12- 

 
AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT (A) IN AN OFFSHORE TRANSACTION IN ACCORDANCE WITH REGULATION S OF THE SECURITIES ACT, (B) PURSUANT TO AN
EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR (C) PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES
LAWS AS EVIDENCED BY A LEGAL OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE TRANSFEROR TO SUCH EFFECT, THE SUBSTANCE OF WHICH SHALL BE REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY.” 
 (d) Agreement to be Bound. Subject to the other restrictions on transfer set forth or referenced in this Agreement, the Purchaser may assign all of its rights and obligations hereunder with respect
to some or all of the Shares, provided that the transferee has agreed in writing to be bound by the applicable provisions of this Agreement. 
 (e) Security Ownership. The Purchaser is aware that the Company is a party to a Shareholder Rights Agreement, dated as of May 31, 2001, between the Company and American Stock Transfer and
Trust Company (the “Rights Agreement”), which provides that in the event the Purchaser at any time beneficially owns 15% or more of the Company’s then outstanding capital stock, the Purchaser may be deemed an “Acquiring
Person” as defined in the Rights Agreement. The Purchaser understands that, in connection with the Purchaser’s acquisition of the Shares and with respect to the Purchaser’s equity position in the Company, the Company has exempted
the Purchaser from being deemed an Acquiring Person as a result of such acquisition or any subsequent transaction only so long as the Purchaser acquires its beneficial ownership of shares of capital stock of the Company in a transaction whereby the
Purchaser is acquiring such beneficial ownership directly from the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Purchaser will also not be deemed an Acquiring Person if the percentage of outstanding capital stock owned by the Purchaser increases
solely due to the repurchase by the Company of shares of its outstanding capital stock. 
  

	 	6.	REGISTRATION RIGHTS 

 (a)
Registration Procedures and Expenses. Except during a Suspension (as defined below), the Company will, upon receipt of written request of the Purchaser and subject to receipt of necessary information from the Purchaser: 
  

	 	(i)	 as soon as practicable, but in any event no later than 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the 30th day after the receipt of such written request from the
Purchaser, prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-3 or other applicable form available to the Company, including Form S-1 (the “Initial Registration Statement”) covering the resale of all of the Shares of
the Purchaser, provided that the Purchaser has complied with Section 6(e) below, together with any shares of capital stock issued or issuable, from time to time, upon any reclassification, share combination, share subdivision, stock split,
share dividend or similar transaction or

  

 -13- 

	 	 
event or otherwise as a distribution on, in exchange for or with respect to any of the foregoing, in each case held at the relevant time by a Purchaser (the “Registrable
Securities”); provided, however, that in the event that the SEC specifically prohibits the Initial Registration Statement from including all Registrable Securities of the Purchaser (“SEC Guidance”) (provided that the
Company shall advocate with the SEC for the registration of all or the maximum number of the Registrable Securities permitted by SEC Guidance), then the Company will not be in breach of this provision by following such SEC Guidance, and the Company
will file such additional Registration Statements (the “Subsequent Registration Statements,” together with the Initial Registration Statement, the “Registration Statements”) at the earliest practicable date on which
the Company is permitted by SEC Guidance to file such additional Registration Statements related to the Registrable Securities (the “Subsequent Filing Dates”). If the context so requires, Shares of the Purchaser will not be
considered Registrable Securities for the purposes of a certain determination of Registrable Securities hereunder if, at that time of such determination, they can be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without volume or manner of sales limitations or have
been sold under an effective Registration Statement. 

  

	 	(ii)	cause (A) the Initial Registration Statement, as may be amended from time to time, to become effective under the Securities Act as soon as practicable after the
Initial Registration Statement is filed by the Company, but in any event no later than 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the 120th day after, and (B) any Subsequent Registration Statements, as may be amended from time to time, which may be required to
be filed hereunder pursuant to Section 6(a)(i) to become effective under the Securities Act as soon as practicable, but in any event no later than 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the 120th day after such Subsequent Filing Date;

  

	 	(iii)	cause any prospectus used in connection with any Registration Statement (a “Prospectus”) to be filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the
Securities Act as soon as practicable but in any event no later than two Business Days following the date such Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC; 

  

	 	(iv)	promptly prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to the Registration Statements and any Prospectus used in connection therewith (A) as may be
necessary to keep such Registration Statements continuously effective until the earlier of (1) such time as all Registrable Securities have been sold pursuant to such Registration Statements, or (2) the date on which all of the Shares may
be resold by the Purchaser without registration pursuant to Rule 144 without volume or manner of sale limitations and (B) as may be reasonably requested by the Purchaser in order to incorporate information concerning the Purchaser or the
Purchaser’s intended method of distribution; 

  

 -14- 

	 	(v)	so long as any Registration Statement is effective covering the resale of Registrable Securities owned by the Purchaser, furnish to the Purchaser with respect to the
Registrable Securities registered under such Registration Statement (and to each underwriter, if any, of such Registrable Securities) such reasonable number of copies of Prospectuses and such other documents as the Purchaser may reasonably request
in order to facilitate the public sale or other disposition of all or any of the Registrable Securities by the Purchaser; 

  

	 	(vi)	use commercially reasonable efforts to file documents required of the Company for blue sky clearance in any states specified in writing by the Purchaser; provided,
however, that the Company shall not be required to qualify to do business generally in any jurisdiction in which the Company is not now so qualified; 

  

	 	(vii)	bear all expenses in connection with the procedures in paragraphs (i) through (vi) of this Section 6(a) and the registration of the Registrable
Securities pursuant to the Registration Statements, other than fees and expenses, if any, of counsel (except as provided by Section 9(j) below) or other advisers to the Purchaser or underwriting discounts, brokerage fees and commissions
incurred by the Purchaser, if any, in connection with an underwritten offering of the Registrable Securities; 

  

	 	(viii)	use reasonable best efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or other order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statements and, if such an order
is issued, to obtain the withdrawal thereof at the earliest possible time and to notify the Purchaser of the issuance of such order and the resolution thereof; 

  

	 	(ix)	furnish to the Purchaser as soon as practicable after the date that any Registration Statement becomes effective, a letter, dated such date, of outside counsel
representing the Company addressed to the Purchaser, confirming the effectiveness of such Registration Statement and, to the knowledge of such counsel, the absence of any stop order; 

  

	 	(x)	provide to the Purchaser and its representatives, if requested, the opportunity to conduct a reasonable inquiry of the Company’s financial and other records during
normal business hours and make available its officers, directors and employees for questions regarding information which the Purchaser may reasonably request in order to fulfill any due diligence obligation on its part; provided that in the case of
this clause (x), the Company shall not be required to provide, and shall not provide, the Purchaser with material, non-public information unless the Purchaser agrees to receive such information and enters into an agreement to keep such material,
nonpublic information confidential and refrain from trading in any Company security for so long as such information remains material, nonpublic information; and 

  

 -15- 

	 	(xi)	not less than three Business Days prior to the filing of a Registration Statement and not less than two Business Days prior to the filing of any related Prospectus or
any amendment or supplement thereto (including any document that would be incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference) or, in the case of comments made by the staff of the SEC and the Company’s responses thereto, within a
reasonable period of time following the receipt thereof by the Company, furnish to the Purchaser copies of all such documents proposed to be filed or copies of such correspondence from and to the SEC relating to such Registration Statement, as the
case may be, which documents (other than those incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference) will be subject to the review of the Purchaser. The Company shall reflect in each such document when so filed with the SEC such comments relating
to the Purchaser and its plan of distribution of Registrable Securities as the Purchaser may reasonably propose; provided, however, that such comments from the Purchaser must be received by the Company no later than one Business Day prior to the
filing of such document with the SEC. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Company will have no obligation to deliver or make available to the Purchaser any Registration Statement or Prospectus containing any material,
nonpublic information unless the Purchaser specifically consents in advance in writing to receive such material, nonpublic information and the Purchaser has executed an agreement to keep such material, nonpublic information confidential and refrain
from trading in any Company security for so long as such information remains material, nonpublic information. 

 (b) Except during a Suspension (as defined below), (i) each document filed or to be filed with the SEC pursuant to the Exchange Act and incorporated by reference in any Registration Statement complied or will comply when so filed in
all material respects with the Exchange Act, (ii) each part of each Registration Statement, when such part shall become effective, will not contain, and each such part, as amended or supplemented, if applicable, will not contain any untrue
statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, (iii) each Registration Statement will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact
or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, (iv) each Registration Statement and Prospectus, as may be amended or supplemented, will comply in all material respects
with the Securities Act, and (v) each Prospectus, as may be amended or supplemented, will not, at the time of each sale of the Shares by the Purchaser, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary
to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, except that the representations and warranties set forth in this paragraph will not apply to statements or omissions in any Registration
Statement or Prospectus based upon information relating to the Purchaser furnished to the Company in writing by the Purchaser expressly for use therein. 
  

 -16- 

 (c) The Company shall be permitted after the Initial Registration Statement becomes
effective to suspend for one or more periods (each such period, a “Suspension”) the actions required under Sections 6(a)(i) through (vi) and the use of a Prospectus forming a part of a Registration Statement to the extent that
the Board concludes in good faith and based on the advice of counsel that the disclosure of additional information in the Prospectus is necessary, whether through an amendment or supplement to such Registration Statement, the filing of an
appropriate report with the SEC pursuant to the Exchange Act or otherwise. The Company agrees to file such amendment, supplement or report or otherwise disclose such additional information as soon as practicable following such notice of such
Suspension. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company agrees that no Suspension shall be for a period of longer than 60 days and no Suspension or Suspensions shall be for an aggregate in any 365-day period of longer than 90 days. 
 (d) With a view to making available to the Purchaser the benefits of Rule 144 (or its successor rule) and any other rule or regulation of
the SEC that may at any time permit the Purchaser to sell Registrable Securities to the public without registration, the Company covenants and agrees to: (A) make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined
in Rule 144, until the earlier of (1) one year after such date as all of the Purchasers’ Registrable Securities may be resold without volume or manner of sale limitations pursuant to Rule 144(b) or any other rule of similar effect or
(2) such date as all of the Purchasers’ Registrable Securities shall have been resold; (B) file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Exchange Act; and (C) furnish to
the Purchaser upon request, as long as the Purchaser owns any Registrable Securities, (1) a written statement by the Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, (2) a copy of the Company’s most
recent Annual Report on Form 10-K or Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, except to the extent that such documents are available from the SEC on its EDGAR website, and (3) such other information as may be reasonably requested in order to avail the
Purchaser of any rule or regulation of the SEC that permits the selling of any such Registrable Securities without registration. 
 (e) It shall be a condition to the Company’s obligations to take any action under this Agreement with respect to the registration of the Purchaser’s Registrable Securities that the Purchaser shall promptly furnish to the Company,
upon request, such reasonable and customary information regarding itself, the Purchaser’s Registrable Securities, and the intended method of disposition of such Registrable Securities. In connection therewith, the Purchaser shall be required to
represent to the Company that all such information which is given is both complete and accurate in all material respects when made. 
  

	 	7.	INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION 

 (a) For purposes of this Section 7 only: 
  

	 	(i)	the term “Purchaser” shall include the Purchaser and any affiliate (as such term is defined pursuant to Rule 12b-2 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of such
Purchaser; 

  

 -17- 

	 	(ii)	the term “Prospectus” shall mean the prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto in the form first filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b)
promulgated under the Securities Act or, if no Rule 424(b) filing is required, filed as part of the Registration Statement at the time of effectiveness, as supplemented or amended from time to time; and 

  

	 	(iii)	the term “Registration Statement” shall include any final prospectus, exhibit, supplement or amendment included in or relating to a Registration Statement.

 (b) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser, each of its partners and each person, if
any, who controls the Purchaser within the meaning of the Securities Act against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, joint or several, to which the Purchaser may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or any
other federal or state statutory law or regulation, or at common law or otherwise (including in settlement of any litigation, if such settlement is effected with the written consent of the Company, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed), insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof as contemplated below) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact
contained in a Registration Statement or Prospectus, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the
circumstances in which they were made, not misleading, and will reimburse the Purchaser, each of its partners and each person, if any, who controls the Purchaser within the meaning of the Securities Act for any legal and other expenses as such
expenses are reasonably incurred by the Purchaser, any of its partners or any person, if any, who controls the Purchaser within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with investigating, defending, settling, compromising or paying any such
loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or action; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable to the Purchaser in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense arises out of or is based upon
(i) an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in a Registration Statement or Prospectus in reliance upon (and prior to the furnishing by the Purchaser of corrective information to the Company) and in
conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of the Purchaser expressly for use therein or (ii) any failure by the Purchaser to comply with the covenant contained in Section 5(a) above respecting the sale of
the Shares during a Suspension unless such failure by the Purchaser results from the Company’s failure to provide written notice of a Suspension to the Purchaser. 
 (c) The Purchaser shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signed a Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company within
the meaning of the Securities Act, against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses to which the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signed a Registration Statement or controlling person may become subject, under the
Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or any other federal or state statutory law or regulation, or at common law or otherwise (including in settlement of any litigation, if such settlement is effected with the written consent of the Purchaser) insofar
as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof as contemplated below) arise out of or are based upon any (i) any failure by the Purchaser to comply with the covenant contained in Section 5(a) above

  

 -18- 

 
respecting the sale of the Shares during a Suspension unless such failure by the Purchaser results from the Company’s failure to provide written notice of a Suspension to the Purchaser or
(ii) untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in a Registration Statement or the Prospectus, or the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made
in a Registration Statement or Prospectus in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of the Purchaser expressly for use therein, and will reimburse the Company, each of its directors, each of
its officers who signed a Registration Statement or controlling persons for any legal and other expense reasonably incurred, as such expenses are reasonably incurred by the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signed a
Registration Statement or controlling persons in connection with investigating, defending, settling, compromising or paying any such loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or action. 
 (d) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 7 of notice of the threat or commencement of any action, such
indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party under this Section 7 promptly notify the indemnifying party in writing thereof, but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party will not
relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party hereunder or otherwise to the extent it is not prejudiced as a result of such failure. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party and such indemnified
party seeks or intends to seek indemnity from an indemnifying party, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in, and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly with all other indemnifying parties similarly notified, to assume the
defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party; provided, however, if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably
concluded that there may be a conflict between the positions of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party in conducting the defense of any such action or that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties which
are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to assume such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action
on behalf of such indemnified party or parties. Upon receipt of notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election to assume the defense of such action and approval by the indemnified party of counsel, the indemnifying
party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 7 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof unless (i) the indemnified party shall have
employed such counsel in connection with the assumption of legal defenses in accordance with the proviso to the preceding sentence (it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one
separate counsel, representing the indemnified parties who are parties to such action) or (ii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a
reasonable time after notice of commencement of action, in each of which cases the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel shall be at the expense of the indemnifying party. No indemnifying party, in the defense of any claim covered by this Section

  

 -19- 

 
7 shall, except with the prior written consent of the indemnified party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the
giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release of the indemnified party and the indemnifying party from all liability in respect to such claim. An indemnified party shall not consent to entry of any judgment or enter into
any settlement without the prior written consent of the indemnifying party. 
 (e) If the indemnification provided for in this
Section 7 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsection (b) or (c) above in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) referred to
therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate
to reflect the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Purchaser on the other in connection with the statements or omissions or other matters which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in
respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, in the case of an untrue statement, whether the untrue statement relates to information supplied by
the Company on the one hand or the Purchaser on the other and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement. The Company and the Purchaser agree that it would not be
just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this subsection (e) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to above in this subsection
(e). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above in this subsection (e) shall be deemed to include any legal or other
expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. 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. 
 (f) Notwithstanding the
foregoing or anything to the contrary contained herein, the Purchaser will not be liable for any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) in excess of the net amount received by the Purchaser from the sale of
the Shares.
