2.                                      Demand Registration.

(a)           If the Company shall receive a request (each such request, an “Investor Request” and each requesting Investor, the “Requesting Investor”) from either (i) the Holders of a majority of the Series D Shares, Series C-2 Shares, Series C-1 Shares and Series C Shares, together as a single class on an as-converted basis, at any time after the earlier of (x) 60 days

4

after the Initial Closing and (y) 180 days after the completion of an Initial Public Offering, or (ii) the Holders of a majority of the Series B Shares, together as a single class on an as-converted basis, at least 180 days after the completion of an Investor Request initiated by the Holders referred to in (i), in each case, that the Company file a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to the proposed sale by such Requesting Investor of all or part of the Registrable Securities owned by such Requesting Investor.  Promptly after receipt of the Investor Request, the Company shall, subject to Section 14, give written notice (the “Notice of Investor Request”) of such Investor Request to all Holders and, subject to the limitations of Section 2(c) below, shall file (as expeditiously as practicable and in any event within sixty (60) days of its receipt) and use its best efforts to effect, a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to all Registrable Securities that the Holders request to be registered (such requesting Holders together with the Requesting Investors, the “Registering Shareholders”) within ten (10) business days of the receipt the applicable Holder of the Notice of Investor Request (delivered in accordance with Section 22) ; provided, however, that no Investor Request shall be effected from Holders referred to in clause (ii) above if the aggregate gross proceeds expected to be received from the sale of the Registrable Securities requested to be included by all Registering Shareholders in such Investor Request are less than $20,000,000 (unless such Registrable Securities identified in the Investor Request constitute all remaining Registrable Securities held by the Registering Shareholders).  All requests made pursuant to this Section 2(a) will specify the aggregate number of the Registrable Securities to be registered and will also specify the intended methods of disposition thereof.

(b)           If the Requesting Investors intend to distribute the Registrable Securities covered by their written request by means of an underwriting, they shall so advise the Company as a part of their Investor Request and the Company shall include such information in the Notice of Investor Request.  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.  The Holders of a majority in interest of the Registrable Securities participating in the underwriting, in consultation with the Company, shall select the managing underwriter or underwriters in such underwriting.  All Holders proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting shall (together with the Company as provided in Section 5(f)) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters so selected; provided, however, that (i) no Holder (or any of their assignees) shall be required to make any representations, warranties or indemnities except as they relate to such Holder’s ownership of shares and authority to enter into the underwriting agreement and to such Holder’s intended method of distribution, and the liability of such Holder shall be limited to an amount equal to the net proceeds from the offering received by such Holder, and (ii) each Holder shall be required to deliver all questionnaires, powers of attorney, escrow and custody agreements, legal opinions and other documents customarily required under the terms of such underwriting agreement.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2, if the underwriter advises the Company and the Requesting Investor that, in its view, the number of shares of Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration (including any securities that the Company proposes to be included that are not Registrable Securities) exceeds the largest number of shares that can be sold without having an adverse effect on such offering, including the price at which such shares can be sold (the “Maximum Offering Size”), the

5

Company shall include in such registration, in the priority order listed below, up to the Maximum Offering Size:

(i) first, all Registrable Securities requested to be registered by the Registering Shareholders (allocated, if necessary for the offering not to exceed the Maximum Offering Size, pro rata among the Registering Shareholders on the basis of the relative number of Registrable Securities so requested to be included in such registration by each); and

(ii) second, all Registrable Securities proposed to be registered by the Company.

(c)           The Company shall be obligated to effect only eight (8) registrations pursuant to an Investor Request under Section 2 (it being understood that the Holders of a majority of the Series D Shares, Series C-2 Shares, Series C-1 Shares and Series C Shares, together as a single class on an as-converted basis, shall be entitled to request six (6) such registrations and the Holders of a majority of the Series B Shares, together as a single class on an as-converted basis, shall be entitled to request two (2) such registrations); provided, however, that in each case the Company shall be obligated to effect as many registrations as may be requested by Holders of Registrable Securities pursuant to any Investor Request in the event and so long as registration pursuant to Form S-3 or any similar “short-form” registration statement is available.  The Company shall not be obligated to effect, or to take any action to effect, any registration pursuant to Section 3 if the Company has effected two registrations pursuant to Section 3 within the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding the date of such request.

(d)           At any time prior to the effective date of the registration statement relating to an Investor Request, the Requesting Investor may revoke such request for a registration, without liability to any of the other Holders, by providing a notice to the Company revoking such request.

(e)           A registration under this Section 2 shall not be deemed to have occurred:

(i)            unless the registration statement relating thereto (A) has become effective under the Securities Act and (B) has remained effective for a period of at least 180 days (or such shorter period in which all Registrable Securities of the Holders included in such registration have actually been sold thereunder), provided that such registration statement shall not be considered a registration pursuant to an Investor Request if, after such registration statement becomes effective, (1) such registration statement is interfered with by any stop order, injunction or other order or requirement of the SEC or other governmental agency or court, or (2) less than sixty-six and two-thirds percent (662/3%) of the Registrable Securities included in such registration statement have been sold thereunder; or

(ii)           if the number of Registrable Securities of the Requesting Shareholders included in the registration statement is reduced in accordance with Section 2(b) such that less than sixty-six and two-thirds percent (662/3%) of the

6

Registrable Securities of the Registering Shareholders sought to be included in such registration are included.

(f)            Notwithstanding the foregoing obligations, if the Company furnishes to Holders requesting a registration pursuant to this Section 2 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 sixty (60) days after the request of the Requesting Investors is given; provided, however, that the Company may not invoke this right more than twice 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 period.

3.                                      Registrations on Form S-3.

If at any time when it is eligible to use a Form S-3 registration statement, the Company receives a request from Holders of at least twenty percent (20%) of the Registrable Securities then outstanding 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 of at least $20,000,000, then the Company shall (i) within ten (10) days after the date such request is given, give written notice (the “Form S-3 Notice”) of such request to all Holders other than the Requesting Investors; and (ii) as soon as practicable, and in any event within thirty (30) days after the date such request is given by the Requesting Investors, file a Form S-3 registration statement under the Securities Act covering all 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 Form S-3 Notice is given, and in each case, subject to the limitations of Section 2(b); provided that in the case of 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, once the registration statement relating thereto has remained effective under the Securities Act for a period of at least 180 days (or such shorter period in which all Registrable Securities of the Holders included in such registration have actually been sold thereunder), such 180 day period shall be extended to 180 days after the second anniversary of the date on which such Form S-3 becomes effective (or such shorter period in which all Registrable Securities of the Holders included in such registration have actually been sold thereunder).

7

4.                                      Piggy-Back Registration.

If the Company proposes to register (including for this purpose a registration effected by the Company for shareholders other than the Investors under Section 2) any of the Registrable Securities under the Securities Act in connection with the public offering of such securities solely for cash (other than a registration on Form S-8 (or similar or successor form or other registration form that would not permit the registration of the Registrable Securities) relating solely to the sale of securities to participants in a Company stock plan or to other compensatory arrangements to the extent includable on Form S-8 (or similar or successor form or other registration form that would not permit the registration of the Registrable Securities)), the Company shall, at such time, promptly give each Holder written notice of such registration.  Upon the written request of each Holder given within thirty (30) days after mailing of such notice by the Company in accordance with Section 22, the Company shall, subject to the provisions of Section 9, use its best efforts to cause to be registered under the Securities Act all of the Registrable Securities that each such Holder has requested to be registered; provided, however, that no Holder shall be entitled to register any of its Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 4 in an Initial Public Offering unless a Holder of Series D Shares, Series C-2 Shares, Series C-1 Shares or Series C Shares is participating as a seller of Registrable Securities in such Initial Public Offering.  The Company shall have no obligation under this Section 4 to make any offering of its securities, or to complete an offering of its securities that it proposes to make.

5.                                      Obligations of the Company.

Whenever required under this Agreement to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities, the Company shall, as expeditiously as reasonably possible:

(a)                                 prepare and file as promptly as possible with the SEC a registration statement on any form for which the Company then qualifies or that counsel for the Company shall deem appropriate and which form shall be available for the sale of the Registrable Securities to be registered thereunder in accordance with the intended method of distribution thereof and use its best efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective, and, upon the request of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities being registered thereunder, keep such registration statement effective for up to 180 days or until the Holders have completed the distribution referred to in such registration statement, whichever occurs first (but in any event for at least any period required under the Securities Act); provided that (A) before filing such registration statement or any amendments thereto, the Company shall furnish to the Holders copies of all such documents proposed to be filed; and (B) in the case of 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 180 day period shall be extended to 180 days after the second anniversary of the date on which such Form S-3 becomes effective;

(b)                                 prepare and file with the SEC such amendments (including post-effective 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 provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement and make all required filings of such amendments or supplements as soon as reasonably practicable after being notified of the matters to be incorporated in such amendments

filing fees, and any other fees and expenses associated with filings required to be made with the SEC or FINRA, (ii) all fees and expenses in connection with compliance with any securities or “Blue Sky” laws, (iii) all printing, duplicating, word processing, messenger, telephone, facsimile and delivery expenses (including expenses of printing certificates for the Registrable Securities in a form eligible for deposit with The Depository Trust Company and of printing prospectuses), (iv) all fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company (including the expenses of any opinions provided to Holders or underwriters) and of all certified public accountants of the Company (including the expenses of any special audit and cold comfort letters required by or incident to such performance), (v) Securities Act liability insurance or similar insurance if the Company so desires or the underwriters so require in accordance with then-customary underwriting practice, (vi) all fees and expenses incurred in connection with the listing of the Registrable Securities on any securities exchange or quotation of the Registrable Securities on any inter-dealer quotation system, (vii) all applicable rating agency fees with respect to the Registrable Securities, (viii) other than with respect to any revoked registration pursuant to Section 2(d), the fees and expenses of one counsel for the Holders of Registrable Securities designated by the Holder of a majority of Registrable Securities being registered, or proposed to be registered, in any offering pursuant to the terms hereof, and the fees and expenses of counsel for each of the Avista Entities and any other Holders participating in such registration solely relating to the preparation and delivery of legal opinions for the Avista Entities or such Holders, as the case may be, in any such offering, (ix) any reasonable fees and disbursements of underwriters customarily paid by issuers or sellers of securities, (x) all fees and expenses of any special experts or other persons retained by the Company in connection with any registration, and (xi) all of the Company’s internal expenses (including all salaries and expenses of its officers and employees performing legal or accounting duties).  All such expenses are referred to herein as “Registration Expenses”.  The Company shall not be required to pay any fees and disbursements to underwriters not customarily paid by issuers of securities, including underwriting discounts and commissions and transfer taxes, if any, attributable to the sale of Registrable Securities.

8.                                      Expenses of Company Registration.

The Company shall bear and pay all reasonable and customary Registration Expenses incurred in connection with any registration, filing or qualification of Registrable Securities with respect to the registrations pursuant to Section 4 for each Holder, but excluding underwriting discounts and commissions and transfer taxes, if any, relating to Registrable Securities.

9.                                      Underwriting Requirements.

In connection with any offering initiated by the Company involving an underwriting of shares being issued by the Company, the Company shall not be required under Section 4 to include any Holder’s securities in such underwriting unless such Holder accepts the terms of the underwriting as agreed upon between the Company and the underwriters, and then only in such quantity as will not, in the opinion of the underwriters, exceed the Maximum Offering Size; provided, however, that no Holder participating in such underwriting shall be required to make any representations, warranties or indemnities except as they relate to such

12

Holder’s ownership of shares and authority to enter into the underwriting agreement and to such Holder’s intended method of distribution, and the liability of such Holder shall be limited to an amount equal to the net proceeds from the offering received by such Holder.  If requested by the underwriters for any underwritten offering requested by Holders of Registrable Securities pursuant to a registration under Section 2, the Company shall enter into an underwriting agreement with such underwriters for such offering, such agreement to be reasonably satisfactory in substance and form to the Company, the Requesting Investors and the underwriters, and to contain such representations and warranties by the Company and such other terms as are generally prevailing in agreements of that type, including indemnities no less favorable to the recipient than those provided in Section 10.   Holders of Registrable Securities proposed to be distributed by such underwriters shall be parties to such underwriting agreement, which underwriting agreement shall contain such representations and warranties by, and the other agreements on the part of, the Company to and for the benefit of such Holders of Registrable Securities as are customarily made by issuers to selling stockholders in underwritten public offerings; provided, however, that (i) no Holder (or any of their assignees) shall be required to make any representations, warranties or indemnities except as they relate to such Holder’s ownership of shares and authority to enter into the underwriting agreement and to such Holder’s intended method of distribution, and the liability of such Holder shall be limited to an amount equal to the net proceeds from the offering received by such Holder, and (ii) each Holder shall be required to deliver all questionnaires, powers of attorney, escrow and custody agreements, legal opinions and other documents customarily required under the terms of such underwriting agreement.  If the total number of securities, including Registrable Securities, requested by shareholders to be included in such offering (or in any other offering in which Holders shall have the right to include Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 4) exceeds the Maximum Offering Size, then the Company shall include in such offering, in the priority listed below, up to the Maximum Offering Size:  (A) first, that number of shares sought to be registered by the Company, (B) second, among all Holders of Registrable Securities that have elected to participate in such underwritten offering, in proportion (as nearly as practicable) to the amount of Registrable Securities requested to be included by such Holders and (C) thereafter, to the extent additional securities may be included in such offering, to other selling shareholders, if any, pro rata according to the total number of securities entitled to be included therein owned by each such other selling shareholder or in such other proportions as shall mutually be agreed to by such other selling shareholders.

10.                               Indemnification.

In the event any Registrable Securities are included in a registration statement under this Agreement:

(a)                                 The Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, its heirs, personal representatives and assigns, each of such Holder’s officers, directors, partners, members, managers, employees and affiliates, any underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act) for 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 losses, claims, damages or liabilities (joint or several) to which they may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect

13

thereof) arise out of or are based upon a Violation; and the Company will pay to each such indemnified party, as incurred, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 10(a) shall not cause the Company to be liable in any such case to a particular indemnified party for any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action to the extent that it arises out of or is based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished expressly for use in connection with such registration by such indemnified party.

(b)                                 Each selling Holder will indemnify and hold harmless, severally and not jointly, the Company, 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, any underwriter, any other Holder selling securities in such registration statement and any controlling Person of any such underwriter or other Holder, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (joint or several) to which any of the foregoing Persons may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereto) arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in each case to the extent (and only to the extent) that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by such Holder expressly for use in connection with such registration; and each such Holder will pay, as incurred, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by any Person intended to be indemnified pursuant to this Section 10(b), in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 10(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Holder, which consent may be withheld in the sole and absolute discretion of the Holder; and provided further, that, in no event shall the liability of any Holder under this Section 10(b) exceed the net proceeds from the offering received by such Holder.

(c)                                  Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 10 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action), such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 10, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the parties, acting reasonably; provided, however, that an indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own 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 conflicts of interests between such indemnified party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding.  The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall not relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the indemnified party under this Section 10 or of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 10 unless, and then solely to the extent that, the indemnifying party is prejudiced thereby.  An indemnifying party may settle any action or claim under this Section 10 at any time without the consent of the

14

indemnified party so long as such settlement involves no cost or liability to the indemnified party and includes an unconditional release of the indemnified party from all liability with respect to such claim or action.

(d)                                 The obligations of the Company and Holders under this Section 10 shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in a registration statement under this Agreement, and otherwise.

(e)                                  Any indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to any other rights to indemnification or contribution which any indemnified party may have pursuant to law or contract and shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made or omitted by or on behalf of any indemnified party.  The Company shall also indemnify underwriters, selling brokers, dealer managers and similar securities industry professionals participating in the distribution, their officers and directors and each person who controls such persons (within the meaning of the Securities Act and Exchange Act) to the same extent as provided above in Section 10(a) with respect to the indemnification of the indemnified parties or as otherwise reasonably requested by such persons.

(f)                                   If a court of competent jurisdiction holds that the foregoing indemnity is unavailable, then the indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the indemnifying party on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other (taking into consideration, among other things, the fact that the provision of the registration rights and indemnification hereunder is a material inducement to the Investors to purchase Registrable Securities pursuant to the Subscription Agreement) or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law or provides a lesser sum to the indemnified party than the amount hereinafter calculated, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.  The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by or on behalf of the indemnifying party or the indemnified party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission.  No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 12(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 10, no Holder shall be required, pursuant to this Section 10, to contribute any amount in excess of the net proceeds received by such indemnifying party from the sale of securities in the offering to which the losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses of the indemnified party relate.

11.                               Reports Under the Exchange Act.

With a view to making available to the Holders the benefits of Rule 144 under the Securities Act and any other rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit a Holder to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration or pursuant to a registration

15

on Form S-3, the Company agrees at all times after any registration statement covering a public offering of securities of the Company under the Securities Act shall have become effective, to:

(a)                                 make and keep available adequate current public information with respect to the Company, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act;

(b)                                 use its best efforts (without unreasonable expense) to comply with the SEC’s eligibility requirements for use of Form S-3;

(c)                                  file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act; and

(d)                                 furnish to any Holder, so long as the Holder owns any Registrable Securities, forthwith upon request (i) a written statement by the Company that it has complied with the adequate current public information requirements of Rule 144 under the Securities Act (at any time after the effective date of the first registration statement filed by the Company) and the Securities Act and Exchange Act (at any time after it has become subject to such reporting requirements) or that it qualifies as a registrant whose securities may be resold pursuant to Form S-3 (at any time it so qualifies), (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company with the SEC, and (iii) such other information as may be reasonably requested in availing any Holder of any rule or regulation of the SEC which permits the selling of any such securities without registration or pursuant to such form.

12.                               Assignment of Registration Rights.

(a)                                 Prior to an Initial Public Offering, any Holder may assign its rights hereunder in connection with a transfer shares to the extent permitted under the Shareholders’ Agreement.

(b)                                 Following an Initial Public Offering, any Holder may assign its rights hereunder to persons who acquire Registrable Securities (and the same remain Registrable Securities after such acquisition) from such Holder, provided that no such assignment shall be binding upon or obligate the Company or the Holders hereunder to any such assignee unless and until the Company shall have received notice of such assignment and a written agreement of the assignee to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement (it being understood that the Company shall deliver such notice and agreement to the other Holders hereunder).

13.                               No Other Registration Rights; Limitations on Subsequent Registration Rights.

The Company represents and warrants to each Investor that, upon the execution of this Agreement by all of the parties hereto, no “registration rights” relating to securities of the Company and granted by the Company exist on the date of this Agreement other than pursuant to this Agreement.  From and after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of Investors holding a majority of the Registrable Securities then outstanding, enter into any agreement with any holder or prospective holder of any securities of the Company that would allow such holder or prospective holder (a) to include such securities in any registration filed under this Agreement, unless under the terms of such agreement, such

16

holder or prospective holder may include such securities in any such registration only to the extent that the inclusion of such holder’s securities will not reduce the amount of the Registrable Securities of any Investor which is included therein or (b) to request a registration of such Holder’s securities.

14.                               “Market Stand-Off” Agreement.

Each of the Company and each Holder agrees that, during the period of ninety (90) days (or, in the case of an underwritten offering, such lesser period as the managing underwriters may permit, it being understood that the Company shall request for the benefit of the Holders that such managing underwriter act in good faith in determining whether to permit a shorter period) following the effective date of a registration statement of the Company filed under the Securities Act in connection with an underwritten offering (and, in the case of the initial public offering of the Company’s securities, one hundred eighty (180) days), which periods may be extended upon the request of the managing underwriter, to the extent required by any FINRA rules, for an additional period of up to fifteen (15) days if the Company issues or proposes to issue an earnings or other public release within fifteen (15) days of the expiration of such lockup period (or, in the case of an underwritten offering, such lesser period as the managing underwriters may permit, it being understood that the Company shall request for the benefit of the Holders that such managing underwriter act in good faith in determining whether to permit a shorter period), it shall not, if requested by such underwriter, sell or otherwise transfer or dispose of (other than to donees, Affiliates, partners or members who agree to be similarly bound) any Common Shares or any securities of the Company convertible into Common Shares held by it except Registrable Securities included in such registration.  The foregoing provisions shall be applicable to the Series D Shares only if all officers, directors, and stockholders individually owning more than one percent (1%) of the Common Shares (after giving effect to conversion into Common Shares of all outstanding Preferred Shares) are subject to the same restrictions, and only with respect to the initial public offering of the Company’s securities, and only with respect to Series D Shares held immediately before the effective date of the registration statement for such initial public offering.  Each Holder further agrees to execute such agreements as may be reasonably requested by the underwriters in connection with such registration that are consistent with this Section 14 or that are necessary to give further effect thereto.  Any discretionary waiver or termination of the restrictions of any or all of such agreements by the Company or the underwriters shall apply pro rata to all Holders subject to such agreements, based on the number of shares subject to such agreements.

15.                               Amendment; Waiver.

Any provision of this Agreement may be amended, terminated or waived only with the written consent of the Company and the Holders holding a majority of the Registrable Securities then held by such Holders; provided, however, that no amendment to this Agreement that adversely affects the rights or obligations of any particular Holder but does not similarly affect the rights or obligations of the other Holders shall be effected without the consent of such affected Holder; and provided further that the provisions of Section 14 may not be amended, terminated or waived without the written consent of the holders of at least a majority of the Registrable Securities issued or issuable upon conversion of the Series D Shares only if such

17

amendment, termination or waiver is applicable to Series D Shares.  The observance of any provision of this Agreement may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively) only with the written consent of the party to be charged; provided, that the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities then outstanding may act on behalf of all Holders of Registrable Securities so long as such waiver applies to all Holders in the same manner.  Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this Section 15 shall be binding upon (i) each Holder of Registrable Securities at the time outstanding, (ii) each future Holder of all such securities, and (iii) the Company.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Schedule A hereto may be amended by the Company from time to time in accordance with Section 28 to add information regarding additional Investors without the consent of the other parties hereto.

16.                               Changes in Registrable Securities.

If, and as often as, there are any changes in the Registrable Securities by way of stock split, stock dividend, combination or reclassification, or through merger, consolidation, reorganization or recapitalization, or by any other means, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the provisions of this Agreement, as may be required, so that the rights and privileges granted hereby shall continue with respect to the Registrable Securities as so changed.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company shall require any successor by merger or consolidation to assume and agree to be bound by the terms of this Agreement, as a condition to any such merger or consolidation.

17.                               Entire Agreement.

This Agreement and the documents referred to herein constitute the entire agreement among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof, and supercede in their entirety any and all prior and/or contemporaneous agreements, understandings or representations relating to the subject matter hereof, whether written or oral.  No party shall be liable or bound to any other party in any manner by any warranties, representations, or covenants except as specifically set forth herein or therein.

18.                               Governing Law.

This Agreement and all claims or causes of action that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement will be governed by, and construed under and in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of New York, without reference to rules relating to conflicts of laws.

19.                               Submission to Jurisdiction.

(a)                                 EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY CONSENTS TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ALL STATE AND FEDERAL COURTS LOCATED IN NEW YORK COUNTY, NEW YORK, WITH RESPECT TO ANY CLAIMS MADE HEREUNDER, AS WELL AS TO THE JURISDICTION OF ALL COURTS TO WHICH AN APPEAL MAY BE TAKEN FROM SUCH COURTS, FOR THE PURPOSE OF ANY SUIT, ACTION OR OTHER PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

18

EACH PARTY HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO BRING ANY SUIT, ACTION OR OTHER PROCEEDING IN OR BEFORE ANY COURT OR TRIBUNAL OTHER THAN THE COURTS DESCRIBED ABOVE AND COVENANTS THAT IT SHALL NOT SEEK IN ANY MANNER TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE OTHER THAN AS SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION 19 OR TO CHALLENGE OR SET ASIDE ANY DECISION, AWARD OR JUDGMENT OBTAINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS HEREOF.

(b)                                 EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL OBJECTIONS IT MAY HAVE TO VENUE, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE INCONVENIENCE OF SUCH FORUM, IN ANY OF SUCH COURTS.  IN ADDITION, EACH OF THE PARTIES FURTHER AGREES THAT SERVICE OF ANY PROCESS, SUMMONS, NOTICE OR DOCUMENT BY U.S. REGISTERED MAIL TO SUCH PARTY’S RESPECTIVE ADDRESS SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE EFFECTIVE SERVICE OF PROCESS FOR ANY ACTION IN NEW YORK WITH RESPECT TO ANY MATTERS TO WHICH IT HAS SUBMITTED TO JURISDICTION HEREUNDER.

20.                               WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.

EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE IT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY OF THE AGREEMENTS DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY.  EACH PARTY HERETO CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (A) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE SUCH WAIVER, (B) IT UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF SUCH WAIVER, (C) IT MAKES SUCH WAIVER VOLUNTARILY, AND (D) IT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 20.

21.                               Successors and Assigns.

The provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the successors, permitted assigns (as provided in Section 12), heirs, executors and administrators of the parties hereto.

22.                               Notices.

Unless otherwise provided, all notices, requests, consents, demands and other communications under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid or via a reputable nationwide overnight

19

courier service guaranteeing next business day delivery, and shall be deemed effectively given upon receipt by the party to be notified (including by facsimile, receipt confirmed) in each case to the intended recipient as follows: (a) if to a party other than the Company, at such party’s address set forth in Schedule A or at such other address as such party shall have furnished the Company in writing, or, until any such party so furnishes an address to the Company, then to and at the address of the last holder of the shares covered by this Agreement who has so furnished an address to the Company, or (b) if to the Company, at its address set forth in Schedule A, or at such other address as the Company shall have furnished to the parties in writing.

23.                               Severability.

If one or more provisions of this Agreement are held to be unenforceable under applicable law, such provision shall be excluded from this Agreement, and the balance of the Agreement shall be interpreted as if such provision were so excluded, and shall be enforceable in accordance with its terms.

24.                               Descriptive Headings.

The section headings contained in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

25.                               Delays or Omissions; Remedies Cumulative.

It is agreed that no delay or omission to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing to the parties shall impair any such right, power or remedy, nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of any such breach or default, or any acquiescence therein, or of any similar breach or default thereafter occurring; nor shall any waiver of any single breach or default be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default theretofore or thereafter occurring.  Any waiver, consent or approval of any kind or character by a party of any breach or default under this Agreement, or any waiver by a party of any provisions or conditions of this Agreement must be in writing and shall be effective only to the extent specifically set forth in writing and that all remedies, either under this Agreement, or by law or otherwise afforded to a party, shall be cumulative and not alternative.

26.                               Attorneys’ Fees.

If any action at law or in equity is necessary to enforce or interpret the terms of this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to reasonable attorney’s fees, costs and necessary disbursements in addition to any other relief to which such party may be entitled.

27.                               Counterparts; Facsimile Transmission.

This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which shall constitute one and the same agreement.  Each party to this Agreement agrees that its own facsimile signature will bind it and that it accepts the facsimile signature of each other party to this Agreement.

20
