(g) The term “Registrable

issued upon conversion of the Series A Stock, Series B Stock
or Series C Stock and (ii) any Common Stock of the Company
issued as (or issuable upon the conversion or exercise of any
warrant, right or other security that is issued as) a dividend or
other distribution with respect to, or in exchange for, or in
replacement of, the shares referenced in (i) above, excluding
in all cases, however, any Registrable Securities sold by a person
in a transaction in which his rights under this Section 1 are
not assigned.
(h) The number of shares of
“Registrable Securities” outstanding shall be
determined by the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding that
are, and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to
then exercisable or convertible securities that are, Registrable
Securities.

for, or in replacement of, the shares referenced in (i) above,
excluding in all cases, however, any Series C Shares sold by a
person in a transaction in which his rights under this
Section 1 are not assigned.
1.2 Request for Registration
.
(a) Subject to the conditions of
this Section 1.2, if at any time after the earlier of
(i) April 16, 2004 or (ii) 180 days after the effective
date of the Initial Offering, the Company shall receive a written
request from the Holders of thirty-five percent (35%) or more
of the Registrable Securities then outstanding (the
“Initiating Holders”) that the Company file a
registration statement under the Act covering the registration of
Registrable Securities with an anticipated aggregate offering price
of at least $7,500,000, then the Company shall, within twenty
(20) days of the receipt thereof, give written notice of such
request to all Holders, and subject to the limitations of this
Section 1.2, use all reasonable efforts to effect, as soon as
practicable, the registration under the Act of all Registrable
Securities that the Holders request to be registered in a written
request received by the Company within twenty (20) days of the
mailing of the Company’s notice pursuant to this
Section 1.2(a).
(b) If 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 this Section 1.2 and
the Company shall include such information in the written notice
referred to in Section 1.2(a). In such event, the right of any
Holder to include its Registrable Securities in such registration
shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in such
underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable
Securities in the underwriting (unless otherwise mutually agreed by
a majority in interest of the Initiating Holders and such Holder)
to the extent provided herein. All Holders proposing to distribute
their securities through such underwriting shall enter into an
underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or
underwriters selected for such underwriting by the Company (which
underwriter or underwriters shall be reasonably acceptable to a
majority in interest of the Initiating Holders). Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Section 1.2, if the underwriter
advises the Company that marketing factors require a limitation of
the number of securities underwritten (including Registrable
Securities), then the Company shall so advise all Holders of
Registrable Securities that would otherwise be underwritten
pursuant hereto, and the number of shares that may be included in
the underwriting shall be allocated to the Holders of such
Registrable Securities on a pro rata basis based on the number of
Registrable Securities held by all such Holders (including the
Initiating Holders). Any Registrable Securities excluded or
withdrawn from such underwriting shall be withdrawn from the
registration.
(c) The Company shall not be
required to effect a registration pursuant to this
Section 1.2:
(i) in any particular jurisdiction
in which the Company would be required to execute a general consent
to service of process in effecting such registration, unless the
Company is already subject to service in such jurisdiction and
except as may be required under the Act; or
3
(ii) after the Company has effected
two (2) registrations pursuant to this Section 1.2, and
such registrations have been declared or ordered effective;
or
(iii) during the period starting
with the date sixty (60) days prior to the Company’s
good faith estimate of the date of the filing of, and ending on a
date one hundred twenty (120) days following the effective
date of, a Company-initiated registration subject to
Section 1.3 below, provided that the Company is actively
employing in good faith all reasonable efforts to cause such
registration statement to become effective; or
(iv) if the Initiating Holders
propose to dispose of Registrable Securities that may be registered
on Form S-3 pursuant to Section 1.4 hereof; or
(v) if the Company shall furnish to
Holders requesting a registration statement pursuant to this
Section 1.2, a certificate signed by the Company’s Chief
Executive Officer or Chairman of the Board stating that in the good
faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company, it would
be seriously detrimental to the Company and its shareholders for
such registration statement to be effected at such time, in which
event the Company shall have the right to defer such filing for a
period of not more than one hundred twenty (120) days after
receipt of the request of the Initiating Holders, provided that
such right to delay a request shall be exercised by the Company not
more than once in any twelve (12)-month period.
1.3 Company Registration
.
(a) If (but without any obligation
to do so) the Company proposes to register (including for this
purpose a registration effected by the Company for shareholders
other than the Holders) any of its stock or other securities under
the Act in connection with the public offering of such securities
(other than a registration relating solely to the sale of
securities to participants in a Company stock plan, a registration
relating to a corporate reorganization or other transaction under
Rule 145 of the Act, a registration on any form that does not
include substantially the same information as would be required to
be included in a registration statement covering the sale of the
Registrable Securities, or a registration in which the only Common
Stock being registered is Common Stock issuable upon conversion of
debt securities that are also being registered), the Company shall,
at such time, promptly give each Holder written notice of such
registration. Upon the written request of each Holder given within
twenty (20) days after mailing of such notice by the Company
in accordance with Section 3.5, the Company shall, subject to
the provisions of Section 1.3(c), use all reasonable efforts
to cause to be registered under the Act all of the Registrable
Securities that each such Holder has requested to be
registered.
(b) Right to Terminate
Registration . The Company shall have the right to terminate or
withdraw any registration initiated by it under this
Section 1.3 prior to the effectiveness of such registration
whether or not any Holder has elected to include securities in such
registration. The expenses of such withdrawn registration shall be
borne by the Company in accordance with Section 1.7
hereof.
4
(c) Underwriting Requirements
. In connection with any offering involving an underwriting of
shares of the Company’s capital stock, the Company shall not
be required under this Section 1.3 to include any of the
Holders’ securities in such underwriting unless they accept
the terms of the underwriting as agreed upon between the Company
and the underwriters selected by it (or by other persons entitled
to select the underwriters) and enter into an underwriting
agreement in customary form with an underwriter or underwriters
selected by the Company, and then only in such quantity as the
underwriters determine in their sole discretion will not jeopardize
the success of the offering by the Company. If the total amount of
securities, including Registrable Securities, requested by
stockholders to be included in such offering exceeds the amount of
securities sold other than by the Company that the underwriters
determine in their sole discretion 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, including
Registrable Securities, that the underwriters determine in their
sole discretion will not jeopardize the success of the offering
(the securities so included to be apportioned pro rata among the
selling Holders according to the total amount of securities
entitled to be included therein owned by each selling Holder or in
such other proportions as shall mutually be agreed to by such
selling Holders), but in no event shall (i) the number of
shares of Registrable Securities to be included in such
underwriting (excluding shares held by the Founder, as such term is
defined in that certain Third Amended and Restated Right of First
Refusal and Co-Sale Agreement of even date herewith among the
Company and the signatories thereto) be reduced unless the shares
held by such Founder, or any other stockholder other than a Holder,
are first entirely excluded from such underwriting, (ii) the
amount of securities of the selling Holders included in the
offering be reduced below twenty percent (20%) of the total
amount of securities included in such offering, unless such
offering is the initial public offering of the Company’s
securities, in which case the selling Holders may be excluded if
the underwriters make the determination described above and no
other stockholder’s securities are included, or
(iii) notwithstanding (i) above, any shares being sold by
a stockholder exercising a demand registration right similar to
that granted in Section 1.2 be excluded from such offering.
For purposes of the preceding parenthetical concerning
apportionment, for any selling stockholder that is a Holder of
Registrable Securities and that is a partnership or corporation,
the partners, retired partners and stockholders of such Holder, or
the estates and family members of any such partners and retired
partners 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
amount of Registrable Securities owned by all such related entities
and individuals.
1.4 Form S-3 Registration .
In case the Company shall receive from the Holders of at least five
hundred thousand (500,000) shares (as adjusted for any stock
splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations or the like) of the
Registrable Securities a written request or requests that the
Company effect a registration on Form S-3 and any related
qualification or compliance with respect to all or a part of the
Registrable Securities owned by such Holder or Holders, the Company
shall:
(a) promptly give written notice of
the proposed registration, and any related qualification or
compliance, to all other Holders; and
5
(b) use all reasonable efforts to
effect, as soon as practicable, such registration and all such
qualifications and compliances as may be so requested and as would
permit or facilitate the sale and distribution of all or such
portion of such Holders’ Registrable Securities as are
specified in such request, together with all or such portion of the
Registrable Securities of any other Holders joining in such request
as are specified in a written request given within fifteen
(15) days after receipt of such written notice from the
Company, provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated
to effect any such registration, qualification or compliance,
pursuant to this section 1.4:
(i) if Form S-3 is not
available for such offering by the Holders;
(ii) if the Holders, together with
the holders of any other securities of the Company entitled to
inclusion in such registration, propose to sell Registrable
Securities and such other securities (if any) at an aggregate price
to the public (net of any underwriters’ discounts or
commissions) of less than $2,000,000;
(iii) if the Company shall furnish
to the Holders a certificate signed by the Chief Executive Officer
or Chairman of the Board of the Company stating that in the good
faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company, it would
be seriously detrimental to the Company and its stockholders for
such Form S-3 Registration to be effected at such time, in
which event the Company shall have the right to defer the filing of
the Form S-3 registration statement for a period of not more
than one hundred twenty (120) days after receipt of the
request of the Holder or Holders under this Section 1.4;
provided, however, that the Company shall not utilize this right
more than once in any twelve month period;
(iv) if the Company has, within the
twelve (12) month period preceding the date of such request,
already effected two registrations on Form S-3 for the Holders
pursuant to this Section 1.4; or
(v) in any particular jurisdiction
in which the Company would be required to qualify to do business or
to execute a general consent to service of process in effecting
such registration, qualification or compliance unless the Company
is already subject to service in such jurisdiction and except as
may be required under the Act.
(c) Subject to the foregoing, the
Company shall file a registration statement covering the
Registrable Securities and other securities so requested to be
registered as soon as practicable after receipt of the request or
requests of the Holders. Registrations effected pursuant to this
Section 1.4 shall not be counted as requests for registration
effected pursuant to Section 1.2.
1.5 Shelf Registration
.
(a) In case the Company shall
conduct an Initial Offering within six (6) months of the date
of this Agreement, the Company shall use its
commercially
6
reasonable efforts to cause to be declared
effective, no later than one hundred eighty (180) days after
the closing date of the Initial Offering, a registration statement
with the SEC (the “Shelf Registration”) pursuant to
Rule 415 of the Securities Act for an offering of the shares of
Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Series C Shares (the
“Shelf Registration Shares”) and, at the
Company’s sole discretion, permitting sales in the ordinary
course brokerage or dealer transactions not involving any
underwritten public offering; provided, however, that if a
“lock up” or “black out” period is imposed
on the Company pursuant to or in connection with any underwriting
or purchase agreement, then the Company shall not be required to
file such Shelf Registration until the end of such “lock
up” or “black out” period; provided, further,
that if the Company shall furnish to the Holders a certificate
signed by the Chief Executive Officer or Chairman of the Board of
the Company stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board of
Directors of the Company that it would be seriously detrimental to
the Company and its stockholders for such Shelf Registration to be
effected at such time, the Company shall have the right to defer
the filing of the Shelf Registration statement for a period of not
more than thirty (30) days. The Company may only defer this
right only once in every six (6) month period.
(b) In furtherance of the foregoing,
the Company shall (i) notify the holders of the Shelf
Registration Shares when a Shelf Registration is being prepared,
(ii) prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement
with respect to such Shelf Registration Shares and
(iii) notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement,
keep such registration statement effective, subject to the
provisions of subsection 1.6(a) hereof, until the earlier of
(i) all Shelf Registration Shares held by any such holder are
sold, and (ii) all Shelf Registration Shares held by any such
holder are salable in any three (3)-month period pursuant to Rule
144 under the Act. Within ten (10) days after receipt by any
holder of Shelf Registration Shares of such notice from the
Company, such holder may request in writing that such
holder’s Shelf Registration Shares be included in such Shelf
Registration and the Company shall include in the Shelf
Registration the Shelf Registration Shares of any such holder
requested to be so included (the “Included Shares”).
Each such request by such other holders of Shelf Registration
Shares shall specify the number of Included Shares proposed to be
sold and the intended method of disposition thereof.
(c) The Company will notify the
holders of Shelf Registration Shares promptly of (i) the
issuance of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the
Shelf Registration or the institution or threatening of any
proceeding for such purpose or (ii) the receipt by the Company
of any notification with respect to the suspension of the
qualification of the Shelf Registration Shares for sale in any
jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for
such purpose. Immediately upon receipt of any such notice, the
holders of Shelf Registration Shares shall cease to offer and sell
any Shelf Registration Shares pursuant to the Shelf Registration in
the jurisdiction to which such stop order or suspension
relates.
(d) The Company will notify the
holders of Shelf Registration Shares promptly of the occurrence of
any event or the existence of any state of facts that, in the
judgment of the Company, should be set forth in the prospectus used
in connection with the shelf Registration (the
“Prospectus”). Immediately upon receipt of such notice,
the holders of Shelf Registration Shares shall cease to offer or
sell any Shelf Registration Shares pursuant to such Prospectus,
cease to deliver or use such Prospectus and, if so requested by the
Company, return to the Company, at its expense, all copies (other
than permanent file copies) of such Prospectus.
7
The Company will, as soon as the information
becomes available in a form such that it may be included in an
amendment or supplement to the Prospectus, use its reasonable
efforts to amend or supplement such Prospectus in order to set
forth or reflect such event or state of facts; it being
understood that in the event the Company determines in good
faith that the disclosure of such information would be seriously
detrimental to the Company or its shareholders, the Company shall
be permitted to delay the filing of such an amendment or supplement
to the Prospectus. The Company will furnish copies of such
amendment or supplement to the Prospectus to the holders of Shelf
Registration Shares.
(e) Each holder of Shelf
Registration Shares agrees, if and for so long as such holder is
affiliated with a member of the Company’s Board of Directors,
to comply with the Company’s policy concerning the purchase
and sale of securities of the Company.
1.6 Obligations of the
Company . Whenever required under this Section 1 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 all 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 Registr
