2. Registration Rights. The Company covenants and agrees as follows:
2.1 Demand Registration.
(a) Form S-1 Demand. If at any time after one hundred eighty (180)
days after the effective date of the registration statement for the IPO, the Company receives a
written request from Initiating Holders that the Company file a Form S-1 registration statement
with respect to Registrable Securities, and if the anticipated aggregate offering price, net of
Selling Expenses, would exceed $10 million, then the Company shall promptly give notice
thereof (the "Demand Notice") to all Holders other than the Initiating Holders; and as soon as
practicable, and in any event within ninety (90) days after the date such request is given by the
Initiating Holders, file a Form S-1 registration statement under the Securities Act covering all
Registrable Securities that the Initiating Holders requested to be registered and any additional
Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration by any other Holders, as
specified by notice given by each such Holder to the Company within twenty (20) days of the
date the Demand Notice is given, and in each case, subject to the limitations of Section 2.1(c)
and Section 2.3.
(b) Form S-3 Demand. If at any time when it is eligible to use a Form
S-3 registration statement, the Company receives a request from Initiating Holders that the
Company file a Form S-3 registration statement with respect to outstanding Registrable
Securities of such Holders having an anticipated aggregate offering price, net of Selling
Expenses, of at least $5 million, then the Company shall promptly give a Demand Notice to all
Holders other than the Initiating Holders; and as soon as practicable, and in any event within
forty-five (45) days after the date such request is given by the Initiating Holders, file a Form S-3
registration statement under the Securities Act covering all Registrable Securities requested to be
GDSVF&MI 742977.4 -4-
EFTA00589126
included in such registration by any other Holders, as specified by notice given by each such
Holder to the Company within twenty (20) days of the date the Demand Notice is given, and in
each case, subject to the limitations of Section 2.1(c) and Section 2.3.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing obligations, if the Company
furnishes to Holders requesting a registration pursuant to this Section 2.1 a certificate signed by
the Company's chief executive officer stating that in the good faith judgment of the Company's
Board of Directors it would be materially detrimental to the Company and its stockholders for
such registration statement to either become effective or remain effective for as long as such
registration statement otherwise would be required to remain effective, because such action
would (i) materially interfere with a significant acquisition, corporate reorganization, or other
similar transaction involving the Company; (ii) require premature disclosure of material
information that the Company has a bona fide business purpose for preserving as confidential; or
(iii) render the Company unable to comply with requirements under the Securities Act or
Exchange Act, then the Company shall have the right to defer taking action with respect to such
filing, and any time periods with respect to filing or effectiveness thereof shall be tolled
correspondingly, for a period of not more than one hundred twenty (120) days after the request
of the Initiating Holders is given; provided, however, that the Company may not invoke this right
more than once in any twelve (12) month period; and provided further that the Company shall
not register any securities for its own account or that of any other stockholder during such one
hundred twenty (120) day period other than an Excluded Registration.
(d) The Company shall not be obligated to effect, or to take any action
to effect, any registration pursuant to Section 2.1(a) (i) during the period that is sixty (60) days
before the Company's good faith estimate of the date of filing of, and ending on a date that is one
hundred eighty (180) days after the effective date of, a Company-initiated registration provided,
that the Company is actively employing in good faith commercially reasonable efforts to cause
such registration statement to become effective; (ii) after the Company has effected two
registrations pursuant to Section 2.1(a); or (iii) if the Initiating Holders propose to dispose of
shares of Registrable Securities that may be immediately registered on Form S-3 pursuant to a
request made pursuant to Section 2.1(b). The Company shall not be obligated to effect, or to
take any action to effect, any registration pursuant to Section 2.1(b) (i) during the period that is
thirty (30) days before the Company's good faith estimate of the date of filing of, and ending on
a date that is ninety (90) days after the effective date of, a Company-initiated registration,
provided, that the Company is actively employing in good faith commercially reasonable efforts
to cause such registration statement to become effective; or (ii) if the Company has effected two
(2) registrations pursuant to Section 2.1(b) within the twelve (12) month period immediately
preceding the date of such request. A registration shall not be counted as "effected" for purposes
of this Section 2.1(d) until such time as the applicable registration statement has been declared
effective by the SEC, unless the Initiating Holders withdraw their request for such registration,
elect not to pay the registration expenses therefor, and forfeit their right to one demand
registration statement pursuant to Section 2.6, in which case such withdrawn registration
statement shall be counted as "effected" for purposes of this Section 2.1(d1.
2.2 Company Registration. If the Company proposes to register (including,
for this purpose, a registration effected by the Company for stockholders other than the Holders)
any of its securities under the Securities Act in connection with the public offering of such
GDSVF&Fril 742977.4 -5-
EFTA00589127
securities solely for cash (other than in an Excluded Registration), the Company shall, at such
time, promptly give each Holder notice of such registration. Upon the request of each Holder
given within twenty (20) days after such notice is given by the Company, the Company shall,
subject to the provisions of Section 2.3, cause to be registered all of the Registrable Securities
that each such Holder has requested to be included in such registration. The Company shall have
the right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under this Section 2.2 before the
effective date of such registration, whether or not any Holder has elected to include Registrable
Securities in such registration. The expenses (other than Selling Expenses) of such withdrawn
registration shall be borne by the Company in accordance with Section 2.6.
2.3 Underwriting Requirements.
(a) If, pursuant to Section 2.1, the Initiating Holders intend to
distribute the Registrable Securities covered by their request by means of an underwriting, they
shall so advise the Company as a part of their request made pursuant to Section 2.1, and the
Company shall include such information in the Demand Notice. The underwriter(s) will be
selected by the Company and shall be reasonably acceptable to a majority in interest of the
Initiating Holders. In such event, the right of any Holder to include such Holder's Registrable
Securities in such registration shall be conditioned upon such Holder's participation in such
underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder's Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the
extent provided herein. All Holders proposing to distribute their securities through such
underwriting shall (together with the Company as provided in Section 2.4(e)) enter into an
underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter(s) selected for such
underwriting. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.3, if the managing
underwriter(s) advise(s) the Initiating Holders in writing that marketing factors require a
limitation on the number of shares to be underwritten, then the Initiating Holders shall so advise
all Holders of Registrable Securities that otherwise would be underwritten pursuant hereto, and
the number of Registrable Securities that may be included in the underwriting shall be allocated
among such Holders of Registrable Securities, including the Initiating Holders, in proportion (as
nearly as practicable) to the number of Registrable Securities owned by each Holder or in such
other proportion as shall mutually be agreed to by all such selling Holders; provided, however,
that the number of Registrable Securities held by the Holders to be included in such underwriting
shall not be reduced unless all other securities are first entirely excluded from the underwriting.
To facilitate the allocation of shares in accordance with the above provisions, the Company or
the underwriters may round the number of shares allocated to any Holder to the nearest one
hundred (100) shares.
(b) In connection with any offering involving an underwriting of
shares of the Company's capital stock pursuant to Section 2.2, the Company shall not be required
to include any of the Holders' Registrable Securities in such underwriting unless the Holders
accept the terms of the underwriting as agreed upon between the Company and its underwriters,
and then only in such quantity as the underwriters in their sole discretion determine will not
jeopardize the success of the offering by the Company. If the total number of securities,
including Registrable Securities, requested by stockholders to be included in such offering
exceeds the number of securities to be sold (other than by the Company) that the underwriters in
their reasonable discretion determine is compatible with the success of the offering, then the
Company shall be required to include in the offering only that number of such securities,
GDSVF&MI 742977.4 -6-
EFTA00589128
including Registrable Securities, which the underwriters and the Company in their sole discretion
determine will not jeopardize the success of the offering. If the underwriters determine that less
than all of the Registrable Securities requested to be registered can be included in such offering,
then the Registrable Securities that are included in such offering shall be allocated among the
selling Holders in proportion (as nearly as practicable to) the number of Registrable Securities
owned by each selling Holder or in such other proportions as shall mutually be agreed to by all
such selling Holders. To facilitate the allocation of shares in accordance with the above
provisions, the Company or the underwriters may round the number of shares allocated to any
Holder to the nearest one hundred (100) shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall
(i) the number of Registrable Securities included in the offering be reduced unless all other
securities (other than securities to be sold by the Company) are first entirely excluded from the
offering, or (ii) the number of Registrable Securities included in the offering be reduced below
twenty-five percent (25%) of the total number of securities included in such offering, unless such
offering is the IPO, in which case the selling Holders may be entirely excluded if the
underwriters make the determination described above and no other stockholder's securities are
included in such offering, or (iii) notwithstanding (ii) above, any Registrable Securities which
are not Key Holder Registrable Securities be excluded from such underwriting unless all Key
Holder Registrable Securities are first excluded from such offering. For purposes of the
provision in this Section 2.3(b) concerning apportionment, for any selling Holder that is a
partnership, limited liability company, or corporation, the partners, members, retired partners,
retired members, stockholders, and Affiliates of such Holder, or the estates and Immediate
Family Members of any such partners, retired partners, members, and retired members and any
trusts for the benefit of any of the foregoing Persons, shall be deemed to be a single "selling
Holder," and any pro rata reduction with respect to such "selling Holder" shall be based upon the
aggregate number of Registrable Securities owned by all Persons included in such "selling
Holder," as defined in this sentence.
(c) For purposes of Section 2.1 a registration shall not be counted as
"effected" if; as a result of an exercise of the underwriter's cutback provisions in Section 2.3(4
fewer than fifty percent (50%) of the total number of Registrable Securities that Holders have
requested to be included in such registration statement are actually included.
2.4 Obligations of the Company. Whenever required under this Section 2 to
effect the registration of any Registrable Securities, the Company shall, as expeditiously as
reasonably possible:
(a) prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement with respect
to such Registrable Securities and use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such
registration statement to become effective and, upon the request of the Holders of a majority of
the Registrable Securities registered thereunder, keep such registration statement effective for a
period of up to one hundred twenty (120) days or, if earlier, until the distribution contemplated in
the registration statement has been completed; provided, however, that (i) such one hundred
twenty (120) day period shall be extended for a period of time equal to the period the Holder
refrains, at the request of an underwriter of Common Stock (or other securities) of the Company,
from selling any securities included in such registration, and (ii) in the case of any registration of
Registrable Securities on Form S-3 that are intended to be offered on a continuous or delayed
basis, subject to compliance with applicable SEC rules, such one hundred twenty (120) day
GDSVF&MI 742977.4
-7-
EFTA00589129
period shall be extended for up to sixty (60) days, if necessary, to keep the registration statement
effective until all such Registrable Securities are sold;
(b) prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements
to such registration statement, and the prospectus used in connection with such registration
statement, as may be necessary to comply with the Securities Act in order to enable the
disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement;
(c) furnish to the selling Holders such numbers of copies of a
prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, as required by the Securities Act, and such other
documents as the Holders may reasonably request in order to facilitate their disposition of their
Registrable Securities;
(d) use its commercially reasonable efforts to register and qualify the
securities covered by such registration statement under such other securities or blue-sky laws of
such jurisdictions as shall be reasonably requested by the selling Holders; provided that the
Company shall not be required to qualify to do business or to file a general consent to service of
process in any such states or jurisdictions, unless the Company is already subject to service in
such jurisdiction and except as may be required by the Securities Act;
(e) in the event of any underwritten public offering, enter into and
perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary form, with the
underwriter(s) of such offering;
(0 use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause all such
Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement to be listed on a national securities
exchange or trading system and each securities exchange and trading system (if any) on which
similar securities issued by the Company are then listed;
(g) provide a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable Securities
registered pursuant to this Agreement and provide a CUSIP number for all such Registrable
Securities, in each case not later than the effective date of such registration;
(h) notify each selling Holder, promptly after the Company receives
notice thereof, of the time when such registration statement has been declared effective or a
supplement to any prospectus forming a part of such registration statement has been filed; and
(i) after such registration statement becomes effective, notify each
selling Holder of any request by the SEC that the Company amend or supplement such
registration statement or prospectus.
2.5 Furnish Information. It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of
the Company to take any action pursuant to this Section 2 with respect to the Registrable
Securities of any selling Holder that such Holder shall furnish to the Company such information
regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it, and the intended method of disposition of
such securities as is reasonably required to effect the registration of such Holder's Registrable
Securities.
GDSVF&MI 742977.4 -8-
EFTA00589130
2.6 Expenses of Registration. All expenses (other than Selling Expenses)
incurred in connection with registrations, filings, or qualifications pursuant to Section 2,
including all registration, filing, and qualification fees; printers' and accounting fees; fees and
disbursements of counsel for the Company; and the reasonable fees and disbursements, not to
exceed $30,000, of one counsel for the selling Holders ("Selling Holder Counsel"), shall be
borne and paid by the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to
pay for any expenses of any registration proceeding begun pursuant to Section 2.1 if the
registration request is subsequently withdrawn at the request of the Holders of a majority of the
Registrable Securities to be registered (in which case all selling Holders shall bear such expenses
pro rata based upon the number of Registrable Securities that were to be included in the
withdrawn registration), unless the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities agree to
forfeit their right to one registration pursuant to Section 2.1(a) or Section 2.1(b), as the case may
be; provided further that if, at the time of such withdrawal, the Holders shall have learned of a
material adverse change in the condition, business, or prospects of the Company from that
known to the Holders at the time of their request and have withdrawn the request with reasonable
promptness after learning of such information then the Holders shall not be required to pay any
of such expenses and shall not forfeit their right to one registration pursuant to Section 2.1(a) or
Section 2.1(b). All Selling Expenses relating to Registrable Securities registered pursuant to this
Section 2 shall be borne and paid by the Holders pro rata on the basis of the number of
Registrable Securities registered on their behalf.
2.7 Delay of Registration. No Holder shall have any right to obtain or seek an
injunction restraining or otherwise delaying any registration pursuant to this Agreement as the
result of any controversy that might arise with respect to the interpretation or implementation of
this Section 2.
2.8 Indemnification. If any Registrable Securities are included in a
registration statement under this Section 2:
(a) To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify and
hold harmless each selling Holder, and the partners, members, officers, directors, and
stockholders of each such Holder; legal counsel and accountants for each such Holder; any
underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act) for each such Holder; and each Person, if any, who
controls such Holder or underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange
Act, against any Damages arising out of or based upon any of the following statements,
omissions or violations (collectively a "Violation"): (i) any untrue statement (or alleged untrue
statement) of a material fact contained or incorporated by reference in any prospectus, offering
circular or other document (including any related registration statement, notification or the like)
incident to any such registration, qualification or compliance, (ii) any omission (or alleged
omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading, or (iii) any violation (or alleged violation) by the Company of
the Securities Act, any state securities laws or any rule or regulation thereunder applicable to the
Company and relating to action or inaction required of the Company in connection with any
offering covered by such registration, qualification or compliance, and the Company will pay to
each such Holder, underwriter, controlling Person, or other aforementioned Person any legal or
other expenses reasonably incurred thereby in connection with investigating or defending any
claim or proceeding from which such Damages may result, as such expenses are incurred;
GDSVF&MI 742977.4 -9-
EFTA00589131
provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 2.8(a) shall not apply
to amounts paid in settlement of any such claim or proceeding if such settlement is effected
without the consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, nor shall
the Company be liable for any Damages to the extent that they arise out of or are based upon
actions or omissions made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished
by or on behalf of any such Holder, underwriter, controlling Person, or other aforementioned
Person expressly for use in connection with such registration.
(b) To the extent permitted by law, each selling Holder, severally and
not jointly, will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, and each of its directors, each of its
officers who has signed the registration statement, each Person (if any), who controls the
Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, legal counsel and accountants for the
Company, any underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act), any other Holder selling securities
in such registration statement, and any controlling Person of any such underwriter or other
Holder, against any Damages arising out of or based on a Violation and each such selling Holder
will pay to the Company and each other aforementioned Person any legal or other expenses
reasonably incurred thereby in connection with investigating or defending any claim or
proceeding from which Damages may result, as such expenses are incurred; provided, however,
that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 2.8(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in
settlement of any such claim or proceeding if such settlement is effected without the consent of
the Holder, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; and provided further that in no
event shall the aggregate amounts payable by any Holder by way of indemnity or contribution
under Sections 2.8(b) and 2.8(d) exceed the proceeds from the offering received by such Holder
(net of any Selling Expenses paid by such Holder), except in the case of fraud or willful
misconduct by such Holder.
(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section
2.8 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action) for which
a party may be entitled to indemnification hereunder, such indemnified party will, if a claim in
respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 2.8, give the
indemnifying party notice of the commencement thereof. The indemnifying party shall have the
right to participate in such action and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, participate
jointly with any other indemnifying party to which notice has been given, and to assume the
defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the parties; provided, however, that an
indemnified party (together with all other indemnified parties that may be represented without
conflict by one counsel) shall have the right to retain one separate counsel, with the fees and
expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if representation of such indemnified party by the
counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential
differing interests between such indemnified party and any other party represented by such
counsel in such action. The failure to give notice to the indemnifying party will not relieve it of
any liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 2.8 to
the extent that such failure materially prejudices the indemnifying party's ability to defend such
action.
(d) To provide for just and equitable contribution to joint liability
under the Securities Act in any case in which either (i) any party otherwise entitled to
indemnification hereunder makes a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Section 2.8 but it is
GDSVF&MI 742977.4 - 10 -
EFTA00589132
judicially determined (by the entry of a final judgment or decree by a court of competent
jurisdiction and the expiration of time to appeal or the denial of the last right of appeal) that such
indemnification may not be enforced in such case, notwithstanding the fact that this Section 2.8
provides for indemnification in such case, or (ii) contribution under the Securities Act may be
required on the part of any party hereto for which indemnification is provided under this Section
2.8 then, and in each such case, such parties will contribute to the aggregate losses, claims,
damages, liabilities, or expenses to which they may be subject (after contribution from others) in
such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of each of the indemnifying party
and the indemnified party in connection with the statements, omissions, or other actions that
resulted in such loss, claim, damage, liability, or expense, as well as to reflect any other relevant
equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified
party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or allegedly
untrue statement of a material fact, or the omission or alleged omission of a material fact, relates
to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties'
relative intent, knowledge, access to information, and opportunity to correct or prevent such
statement or omission; provided, however, that, in any such case, (x) no Holder will be required
to contribute any amount in excess of the public offering price of all such Registrable Securities
offered and sold by such Holder pursuant to such registration statement, and (y) no Person guilty
of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(0 of the Securities Act) will
be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent
misrepresentation; and provided, further that in no event shall a Holder's liability pursuant to
this Section 2.8(d), when combined with the amounts paid or payable by such Holder pursuant to
Section 2.8(b), exceed the proceeds from the offering received by such Holder (net of any
Selling Expenses paid by such Holder), except in the case of willful misconduct or fraud by such
Holder.
(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the provisions on
indemnification and contribution contained in the underwriting agreement entered into in
connection with the underwritten public offering are in conflict with the foregoing provisions,
the provisions in the underwriting agreement shall control.
(0 Unless otherwise superseded by an underwriting agreement
entered into in connection with the underwritten public offering, the obligations of the Company
and Holders under this Section 2.8 shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable
Securities in a registration under this Section 2, and otherwise shall survive the termination of
this Agreement.

registration (at any time after the Company has become subject to the reporting requirements
under the Exchange Act) or pursuant to Form S-3 (at any time after the Company so qualifies to
