-3-

subject to the limitations of subsection 1.2(b), use its best efforts to effect as soon as practicable, and in any event within 60 days of the receipt of such request, the registration under the Securities Act of all Registrable Securities which the Holders request to be registered within 20 days of the mailing of such notice by the Company in accordance with Section 3.3.

(b) If the Holders initiating the registration request hereunder (“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 subsection 1.2(a). The underwriter will be selected by a majority in interest of the Initiating Holders and shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company. In such event, the right of any Holder to include his 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 (together with the Company as provided in Section 1.5(e)) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 1.2, if the underwriter advises the Initiating Holders in writing that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten, then the Initiating Holders shall so advise all Holders of Registrable Securities which would otherwise be underwritten pursuant hereto, and the number of shares of Registrable Securities that may be included in the underwriting shall be allocated among all Holders thereof, including the Initiating Holders, in proportion (as nearly as practicable) to the amount of Registrable Securities of the Company owned by each Holder; provided, however, that the number of shares of Registrable Securities to be included in such underwriting shall not be reduced unless all other securities are first entirely excluded from the underwriting.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company shall furnish to Holders requesting a registration pursuant to this Section 1.2, a certificate signed by the President 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 registration statement to be filed and it is therefore essential to defer the filing of such registration statement, the Company shall have the right to defer such filing for a period of not more than 120 days after receipt of the request of the Initiating Holders; provided, however, that the Company may not utilize this right more than once in any twelve-month period, and provided, further, that the Company shall not register any securities for the account of itself or any other holder during such 120 day period.

(d) The Company shall not be obligated to effect, or to take any action to effect, any registration initiated by the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 1.2(a)(ii)(A):

(i) After the Company has effected two such registrations pursuant to Section 1.2(a)(ii)(A) and such registrations have been declared or ordered effective;

-4-

(ii) During the period starting with the date 60 days prior to the Company’s good faith estimate of the date of filing of, and ending on a date 180 days after the effective date of, a registration subject to Section 1.3 hereof; provided that the Company is actively employing in good faith all reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective; or

(i) After the Company has effected two such registrations pursuant to Section 1.2(a)(ii)(C) and such registrations have been declared or ordered effective;

(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 1.4 below.

(g) The Company shall not be obligated to effect, or to take any action to effect, any registration initiated by the Holders of a majority of the Series E-1 Preferred Stock (or the Common Stock issued upon conversion thereof) pursuant to Section 1.2(a)(ii)(D):

-5-

(i) After the Company has effected two such registrations pursuant to Section 1.2(a)(ii)(D) and such registrations have been declared or ordered effective;

(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 1.4 below.

(h) The Company shall not be obligated to effect, or to take any action to effect, any registration initiated by the Holders of a majority of the Series G Preferred Stock (or the capital stock issued upon conversion thereof, determined on an as converted to Common Stock basis) pursuant to Section 1.2(a)(ii)(E):

(i) After the Company has effected two such registrations pursuant to Section 1.2(a)(ii)(E) and such registrations have been declared or ordered effective;

(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 1.4 below.

1.3 Company Registration. If (but without any obligation to do so) the Company proposes to register (including for this purpose a registration effected by the Company for stockholders other than the Holders) any of its stock under the Securities Act in connection with the public offering of such securities solely for cash (other than a registration relating solely to the sale of securities to participants in a Company stock plan or a transaction covered by Rule 145 under the Securities Act, a registration in which the only stock being registered is Common Stock issuable upon conversion of debt securities which are also being registered, or any registration on any form which 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), the Company shall, at such time, promptly give each Holder written notice of such registration. Upon the written request of each Holder given within 20 days after mailing of such notice by the Company in accordance with Section 3.3, the Company shall, subject to the provisions of Section 1.8, cause to be registered under the Securities Act all of the Registrable Securities that each such Holder has requested to be registered.

1.4 Form S-3 Registration. In case the Company shall receive from any Holder or Holders of not less than 10% of the Registrable Securities then outstanding a written

-6-

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 will:

(a) promptly give written notice of the proposed registration, and any related qualification or compliance, to all other Holders; and

(b) as soon as practicable, effect 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 Holder’s or Holders’ Registrable Securities as are specified in such request, together with all or such portion of the Registrable Securities of any other Holder or Holders joining in such request as are specified in a written request given within 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 $1,000,000; (iii) if the Company shall furnish to the Holders a certificate signed by the President 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 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 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; (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; or (vi) during the period ending 180 days after the effective date of a registration statement subject to Section 1.3.

(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 demands for registration or registrations effected pursuant to Sections 1.2 or 1.3, respectively.

1.5 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 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 registered thereunder, keep such registration statement effective for up to 120 days.

(f) Notify each Holder of Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing, such obligation to continue for 120 days, and following such notification promptly prepare and furnish to such seller a reasonable number of copies of a supplement to or an amendment of such prospectus as may be necessary so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such shares, such prospectus shall not include an untrue statement of material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or incomplete in light of the circumstances then existing.

(g) Cause all such Registrable Securities registered pursuant hereunder to be listed on each securities exchange on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed.

1.8 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 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 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, which 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 stockholders according to the total amount of securities entitled to be included therein owned by each selling stockholder or in such other proportions as shall mutually be agreed to by such selling stockholders) but in no event shall (i) the amount of securities of the selling Holders included in the offering be reduced below ten percent 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 stockholders may be excluded if the underwriters make the determination described above and no other stockholder’s securities are included or (ii) any securities held by a Founder (as defined in the Sixth Amended and Restated Right of First Refusal and Co-Sale Agreement of even date herewith) be included if any securities held by any selling Holder are excluded. For purposes of the preceding parenthetical concerning apportionment, for any selling stockholder which is a holder of Registrable Securities and which 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 stockholder,” and any pro-rata reduction with respect to such “selling stockholder” shall be based upon the aggregate amount of shares carrying registration rights owned by all entities and individuals included in such “selling stockholder,” as defined in this sentence.

1.9 Delay of Registration. No Holder shall have any right to obtain or seek an injunction restraining or otherwise delaying any such registration as the result of any

-11-

controversy that might arise with respect to the interpretation or implementation of this Section 1.

1.10 Indemnification. In the event any Registrable Securities are included in a registration statement under this Section 1:

(a) To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, each Holder’s officers, directors, constituent partners, managers, members and employees (the “Holder Representatives”), 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 thereof) arise out of or are 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 in such registration statement, including any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or any amendments or supplements thereto, any issuer information (as defined in Rule 433 of the Securities Act) filed or required to be filed pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act or any other document incident to such registration prepared by or on behalf of the Company or used or referred to by the Company, (ii) the 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, the Exchange Act, any state securities law or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any state securities law; and the Company will pay to each such Holder, Holder Representative, underwriter or controlling person, 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 subsection 1.10(a) 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 Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), nor shall the Company be liable to any Holder, Holder Representative, underwriter or controlling person 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 any such Holder, Holder Representative, underwriter or controlling person.

(b) To the extent permitted by law, each selling Holder will, severally but not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless 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 subsection 1.10(b), in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this subsection 1.10(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 shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, that in no event shall any indemnity under this subsection 1.10(b) exceed the net proceeds from the offering received by such Holder, except in the case of willful fraud by such Holder.

(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 1.10 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action), such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 1.10, 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; provided, however, that an indemnified party (together with all other indemnified parties which may be represented without conflict by one counsel) shall have the right to retain one separate counsel, with the reasonable 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 proceeding. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action, if prejudicial to its ability to defend such action, shall relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the indemnified party under this Section 1.10, but the omission so to deliver written 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 1.10. No indemnifying party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation, shall, except with the consent of each indemnified party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 1.10 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense referred to therein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party hereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and of the indemnified party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided, that in no event shall any contribution by a Holder under this Subsection 1.10(d), when combined with the amounts paid or payable by such Holder pursuant to Section 1.10(b), exceed the net proceeds from the offering received by such Holder, except in the case of willful fraud by such Holder. 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 alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties’

-13-

relative intent, knowledge, access to information, and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

(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.

(f) The obligations of the Company and Holders under this Section 1.10 shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in a registration statement under this Section 1, and otherwise.

1.11 Reports Under Exchange Act. With a view to making available to the Holders the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated 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 on Form S-3, the Company agrees to:

(a) make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in SEC Rule 144, at all times after 90 days after the effective date of the first registration statement filed by the Company for the offering of its securities to the general public so long as the Company remains subject to the periodic reporting requirements under Sections 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act;

(b) take such action, including the voluntary registration of its Common Stock under Section 12 of the Exchange Act, as is necessary to enable the Holders to utilize Form S-3 for the sale of their Registrable Securities, such action to be taken as soon as practicable after the end of the fiscal year in which the first registration statement filed by the Company for the offering of its securities to the general public is declared effective;

(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 reporting requirements of SEC Rule 144 (at any time after 90 days after the effective date of the first registration statement filed by the Company), the Securities Act and the 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 after 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, 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.

1.12 Assignment of Registration Rights. The rights to cause the Company to register Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 1 may be assigned (but only with all related obligations) by a Holder to (i) a transferee or assignee of at least 250,000 shares of such securities (subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, reclassification or the like), (ii) a transferee or assignee of all of such Registrable Securities held by such transferring Holder,

-14-

if less than 250,000 shares, (iii) a partner, member or affiliate of the transferring Holder (including, but not limited to, an affiliated fund or entity of such Holder), (iv) a transferee or assignee who is a Holder’s child, stepchild, Grandchild, parent, stepparent, Grandparent, spouse, sibling, mother-in-law, father-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, brother-in-law, or sister-in-law (such a relation, a Holder’s “Immediate Family Member”, which term shall include adoptive relationships), or (v) a transferee or assignee that is a trust for the benefit of an individual Holder or such Holder’s Immediate Family Member, provided the Company is, within a reasonable time after such transfer, furnished with written notice of the name and address of such transferee or assignee and the securities with respect to which such registration rights are being assigned; and provided, further, that such assignment shall be effective only if immediately following such transfer the further disposition of such securities by the transferee or assignee is restricted under the Securities Act. For the purposes of determining the number of shares of Registrable Securities held by a transferee or assignee, the holdings of transferees and assignees of (x) a partnership who are partners or retired partners of such partnership or (y) a limited liability company who are members or retired members of such limited liability company (including Immediate Family Members of such partners or members who acquire Registrable Securities by gift, will or intestate succession) shall be aggregated together and with the partnership or limited liability company; provided that all assignees and transferees who would not qualify individually for assignment of registration rights shall have a single attorney-in-fact for the purpose of exercising any rights, receiving notices or taking any action under Section 1.

1.13 Limitations on Subsequent Registration Rights. From and after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of (i) the Holders of a majority of the outstanding Registrable Securities; (ii) the Holders of a majority of the shares of Series D Preferred Stock (or shares of the Common Stock issued upon conversion thereof) then outstanding; (iii) the Holders of a majority of the shares of Series E Preferred Stock (or shares of the Common Stock issued upon conversion thereof) then outstanding; (iv) the Holders of a majority of the shares of Series E-1 Preferred Stock (or shares of the Common Stock issued upon conversion thereof) then outstanding and (v) the Holders of a majority of the shares of Series G Preferred Stock (or shares of the capital stock issued upon conversion thereof, determined on an as converted to Common Stock basis) then outstanding, enter into any agreement with any holder or prospective holder of any securities of the Company which would allow such holder or prospective holder (a) to include such securities in any registration filed under Section 1.2 hereof, unless under the terms of such agreement, such holder or prospective holder may include such securities in any such registration only to the extent that the inclusion of his securities will not reduce the amount of the Registrable Securities of the Holders which is included or (b) to make a demand registration which could result in such registration statement being declared effective prior to the earlier of either of the dates set forth in subsection 1.2(a) or within 120 days of the effective date of any registration effected pursuant to Section 1.2.

1.14 “Market Stand-Off” Agreement.

(a) Market-Standoff Period; Agreement. In connection with the initial public offering of the Company’s securities and upon request of the Company or the underwriters managing such offering of the Company’s securities, each Holder agrees not to sell, make any short sale of, loan, grant any option for the purchase of, or otherwise dispose of any securities of the Company, however or whenever acquired (other than those included in the

-15-

registration) without the prior written consent of the Company or such underwriters, as the case may be, for such period of time (not to exceed 180 days, subject to potential extensions to comply with the restrictions contained in FINRA Rule 2711(f)(4) or NYSE Rule 472(f)(4)) from the effective date of such registration as may be requested by the Company or such managing underwriters and to execute an agreement reflecting the foregoing as may be requested by the underwriters at the time of the Company’s initial public offering. The obligations of the Holders under this Section 1.14(a) shall be conditioned upon similar agreements being in effect with each Holder that qualifies as a Major Investor (as defined below).

(b) Stop-Transfer Instructions. In order to enforce the foregoing covenants, the Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the securities of each Holder (and the securities of every other person subject to the restrictions in Section 1.14(a)).

(c) Transferees Bound. Each Holder agrees that it will not transfer securities of the Company unless each transferee agrees in writing to be bound by all of the provisions of this Section 1.14.

1.15 Termination of Registration Rights. No Holder shall be entitled to exercise any right provided for in this Section 1 after the earlier of (i) five years following the consummation of a Qualified IPO or (ii) such time as Rule 144 or another similar exemption under the Securities Act is available for the sale of all of such Holder’s shares during a three month period without registration, except if such Holder holds at least two percent of the outstanding voting stock of the Company.

2. Covenants of the Company.

2.1 Delivery of Financial Statements. The Company shall deliver to each Major Investor, as defined in Section 2.3 below:

(a) as soon as practicable, but in any event within 30 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company, preliminary and unaudited income statement for such fiscal year, a preliminary and unaudited balance sheet of the Company and statement of stockholder’s equity as of the end of such year, and a preliminary and unaudited statement of cash flows for such year, such year-end financial reports to be in reasonable detail, prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).

2.2 Inspection. The Company shall permit each Major Investor, as defined in Section 2.3 below, at such Major Investor’s expense, to visit and inspect the Company’s properties, to examine its books of account and records and to discuss the Company’s affairs, finances and accounts with its officers, all at such reasonable times as may be requested by the Major Investor; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated pursuant to this Section 2.2 to provide access to any information which it reasonably considers to be a trade secret or similar confidential information.

2.3 Right of First Offer. Subject to the terms and conditions specified in this Section 2.3, the Company hereby grants to each Major Investor (as hereinafter defined) a right of first offer with respect to future issuances by the Company of its Shares (as hereinafter defined). A “Major Investor” shall mean (a) any person who holds at least 1,000,000 shares in the aggregate of the Company’s Preferred Stock (or the Common Stock issued upon conversion thereof, and subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, reclassifications or the like), (b) ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ XIII, a Cayman Islands Exempted Limited Partnership (together with its affiliates, “▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇”), for so long as ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall hold at least 600,000 shares of Series E-1 Preferred Stock (or the Common Stock issued upon conversion thereof, and subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, reclassifications or the like), (c) Silver Lake Kraftwerk Fund, L.P. (together with its affiliates, “Silver Lake”), for so long as Silver Lake shall hold at least 431,214 shares of Preferred Stock of the Company (or the Common Stock issued upon conversion thereof, and subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, reclassifications or the like), (d) Valor Solar Holdings, LLC (together with its affiliates, “Valor”), for so long as Valor shall hold at least 392,013 shares of Preferred Stock of the Company (or the Common Stock issued upon conversion thereof, and subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, reclassifications or the like), and (d) Tao LLC (together with its affiliates, “Tao”), for so long as Tao shall hold at least 156,805 shares of Preferred Stock of the Company (or the Common Stock issued upon conversion thereof, and subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, reclassifications or the like). For purposes of this Section 2, a Major Investor includes any general partners, members and affiliates of a Major Investor. A Major Investor who chooses to exercise the right of first offer may designate as purchasers under such right itself or its partners, members or affiliates in such proportions as it deems appropriate.

-17-

Each time the Company proposes to offer any shares of, or securities convertible into or exercisable for any shares of, any class of its capital stock (“Shares”), the Company shall first make an offering of such Shares to each Major Investor in accordance with the following provisions:

(a) The Company shall deliver a notice by certified mail (“Notice”) to the Major Investors stating (i) its bona fide intention to offer such Shares, (ii) the number of such Shares to be offered, and (iii) the price and terms, if any, upon which it proposes to offer such Shares.

(b) Within 15 calendar days after delivery of the Notice, the Major Investor may elect to purchase or obtain, at the price and on the terms specified in the Notice, up to that portion of such Shares which equals the proportion that the number of shares of Common Stock issued and held, or issuable upon conversion and exercise of all convertible or exercisable securities then held, by such Major Investor bears to the total number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding (assuming full conversion and exercise of all outstanding convertible or exercisable securities) (the “Pro-Rata Amount”). The Company shall promptly, in writing, inform each Major Investor that purchases or obtains all the shares available to it (each, a “Fully-Exercising Investor”) of any other Major Investor’s failure to do likewise, and in such notice the Company shall inform each Fully-Exercising Investor of the Fully-Exercising Investors’ Pool (as defined below). The “Fully-Exercising Investors’ Pool” shall mean the total investment amount that shall be available to be purchased by the Fully-Exercising Investors as determined unanimously by the Company’s Board of Directors; provided, however, such investment amount shall at least be equal to the aggregate Pro-Rata Amount for all of the Fully-Exercising Investors. During the ten day period commencing after receipt of such information, each Fully-Exercising Investor shall be entitled to purchase that portion of the excess of the amount of the Fully-Exercising Investors’ Pool over the aggregate Pro-Rata Amount for all of the Fully-Exercising Investors (such excess, the “Available Unsubscribed Shares”) that is equal to the proportion that the number of shares of Common Stock issued and held, or issuable upon conversion and exercise of all convertible or exercisable securities then held, by such Fully-Exercising Investor bears to the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and held, or issuable upon conversion and exercise of all convertible or exercisable securities then held, by all Fully-Exercising Investors who wish to purchase such Available Unsubscribed Shares. Such purchase shall be completed at the same closing as that of any third party purchasers or at an additional closing thereunder.

(c) The Company may, during the 45-day period following the expiration of the period provided in subsection 2.3(b) hereof, offer the remaining unsubscribed portion of the Shares to any person or persons at a price not less than, and upon terms no more favorable to the offeree than those specified in the Notice. If the Company does not enter into an agreement for the sale of the Shares within such period, or if such agreement is not consummated within 60 days of the execution thereof, the right provided hereunder shall be deemed to be revived and such Shares shall not be offered unless first reoffered to the Major Investors in accordance herewith.

(d) The right of first offer in this paragraph 2.3 shall not be applicable (i) to the issuance or sale of Common Stock (or options therefor) to employees, consultants and

-18-

directors, of the Company pursuant to plans or agreements approved by the Board of Directors for the primary purpose of soliciting or retaining their services, (ii) to or after consummation of a Qualified IPO, (iii) to the issuance of securities pursuant to the conversion or exercise of convertible or exercisable securities outstanding as of the date of this Agreement or securities issued pursuant to the conversion or exercise of convertible or exercisable securities issued after the date of this Agreement, so long as the rights established by this Section 2.3 were complied with, waived or were inapplicable pursuant to any provision of this Section 2.3(d) with respect to the initial sale or grant by the Company of such convertible or exercisable securities, (iv) stock splits, stock dividends or like transactions, (v) to the issuance of shares of Series F Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 6.2 of the Purchase Agreement, or (vi) to the issuance of securities that, with unanimous approval of the Board of Directors of the Company and a majority of the outstanding Preferred Stock voting together as a single class on an as converted to Common Stock basis, are not offered to any existing stockholder of the Company. In addition to the foregoing, the right of first offer in this paragraph 2.3 shall not be applicable with respect to any Major Investor and any subsequent securities issuance, if (i) at the time of such subsequent securities issuance, the Major Investor is not an “accredited investor,” as that term is then defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act, and (ii) such subsequent securities issuance is otherwise being offered only to accredited investors.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event that the right of first offer contained in this paragraph 2.3 is not applicable to an issuance or sale of securities by operation of subsection 2.3(d)(vi) above or is otherwise waived on behalf of all Major Investors hereunder, then the Company shall offer each Major Investor the opportunity to purchase any securities that the Company proposes to issue that are not proposed to be purchased by the lead investor in such transaction (the “Non-Lead Investor Shares”) in accordance with the procedures set forth in subsections 2.3(a), (b) and (c) above, provided, however, that each Major Investor shall have the right to elect to purchase or obtain up to that portion of such Non-Lead Investor Shares which equals the proportion that the number of shares of Common Stock issued and held, or issuable upon conversion and exercise of all convertible or exercisable securities then held, by such Major Investor bears to the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and held, or issuable upon conversion and exercise of all convertible or exercisable securities then held, by all Major Investors; and provided, further, however, that any Fully-Exercising Investor shall be entitled to purchase or obtain that portion of the Non-Lead Investor Shares for which Major Investors were entitled to subscribe under this subsection 2.3(e) but which were not subscribed for by the Major Investors that is equal to the proportion that the number of shares of Common Stock issued and held, or issuable upon conversion and exercise of all convertible or exercisable securities then held, by such Major Investor bears to the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and held, or issuable upon conversion and exercise of all convertible or exercisable securities then held, by all Fully-Exercising Major Investors who wish to purchase such unsubscribed Non-Lead Investor Shares.

2.4 Stock Vesting. Unless otherwise approved by the Board of Directors of the Company or its Compensation Committee, all stock, stock options and other stock equivalents issued after the date of this Agreement to officers and employees shall be subject to vesting as follows: (a) twenty-five percent (25%) of such stock shall vest at the end of the first year following the earlier of the date of issuance or such person’s services commencement date with the Company and (b) seventy-five percent (75%) of such stock shall vest in equal monthly

-19-

installments over the remaining three (3) years. With respect to any shares of stock purchased by any such person still subject to vesting, the Company’s repurchase option shall provide that upon such person’s termination of employment or service with the Company, with or without cause, the Company or its assignee shall have the option to purchase at cost any unvested share of stock held by such person.

2.5 Business Licenses. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to renew each of its business licenses prior to their expiration, or, with respect to any business licenses that have expired as of the date of this Agreement, as soon as practicable, and in any case within 60 days from the date of this Agreement, and to maintain such business licenses in full force and effect.

2.6 Blue Sky Filings. As soon as practicable, and in any case within 30 days from the date of this Agreement, the Company shall obtain all Blue Sky law permits and qualifications and complete any filings required by any governmental authority in connection with any past issuances of securities for which such permits, qualifications or filings have not yet been obtained or made.

2.7 Affiliate Transactions. If the Company proposes to enter into an Affiliate Transaction (as defined below) and if there is one or more members of the Board of Directors that are “disinterested” (as such term is used in Section 144 of the Delaware General Corporation Law) with respect to such Affiliate Transaction, then the Company shall not enter into such Affiliate Transaction without first obtaining the consent of a majority of such “disinterested” directors. For purposes of this Section 2.7, “Affiliate Transaction” shall mean a transaction that would be required to be disclosed by the Company pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K if the Company was subject to the periodic reporting requirements of Section 13 of the Exchange Act.

2.8 Directors’ and Officers’ Liability Insurance. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain in effect a directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy from an insurer satisfactory to the Board of Directors in an amount of no less than $3,000,000.

2.9 Termination of Covenants.

(a) The covenants set forth in Sections 2.1 through 2.8 shall terminate as to each Holder and be of no further force or effect immediately prior to the consummation of a Qualified IPO.

(b) The covenants set forth in Sections 2.1 and 2.2 shall terminate as to each Holder and be of no further force or effect when the Company first becomes subject to the periodic reporting requirements of Sections 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, if this occurs earlier than the events described in Section 2.9(a) above.

3. Miscellaneous.

3.1 Successors and Assigns. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be

Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this paragraph shall be binding upon each party to the Agreement, whether or not such party has signed such amendment or waiver, each future holder of all such Registrable Securities, and the Company; provided, however, that any amendment which treats any holder of Registrable Securities in an adverse manner different from other holders of Registrable Securities shall require the consent of the holder(s) of a majority of the Registrable Securities so adversely affected.

-21-

3.3 Notices. Unless otherwise provided, any notice required or permitted by this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed sufficient upon delivery, when delivered personally or by overnight courier or sent by telegram or fax, or forty-eight (48) hours after being deposited in the U.S. mail, as certified or registered mail, with postage prepaid, and addressed to the party to be notified at such party’s address or fax number as set forth on Exhibit A hereto or as subsequently modified by written notice.

3.4 Severability. If one or more provisions of this Agreement are held to be unenforceable under applicable law, the parties agree to renegotiate such provision in good faith. In the event that the parties cannot reach a mutually agreeable and enforceable replacement for such provision, then (a) such provision shall be excluded from this Agreement, (b) the balance of the Agreement shall be interpreted as if such provision were so excluded and (c) the balance of the Agreement shall be enforceable in accordance with its terms.

3.5 Governing Law. This Agreement and all acts and transactions pursuant hereto shall be governed, construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without giving effect to principles of conflicts of laws.
