This Restated Investor Rights Agreement (the "Agreement") is entered
into as of March 31, 1995 by and among DISCOVERY THERAPEUTICS, INC., a Delaware

and conditions contained herein, the Company, the Founders and the Investors
hereby agree that all consents or conditions required to be obtained or
satisfied under the Prior Agreement in connection with the transactions
contemplated in the Series B Agreement are hereby given and that the Prior
Agreement is amended and restated to read in full as follows:

terms shall have the following respective meanings:
"Commission" shall mean the Securities and Exchange Commission or any
other federal agency at the time administering the Securities Act.
"Form S-3" shall mean Form S-3 under the Securities Act as in effect on
the date of this Agreement, or any substantially similar, equivalent or
successor form under the Securities Act.
"Founders' Shares" shall mean those shares of the Company's Common
Stock owned by the Founders and outstanding as of the date of this Agreement.
"Holder" shall mean any Investor or any transferee of registration
rights under Section 3.9 hereof who then holds any outstanding shares of the
Company's Series A Preferred Stock or
1.

solely for the purposes set forth therein.

compliance with the Securities Act, and the declaration or ordering of the
effectiveness of such registration statement.
"Registrable Securities" means (i) shares of the Company's Common Stock

been sold to the public and (ii) shares of the Company's Common Stock issued in
respect of such shares of the Company's Common Stock, Preferred or Common Stock
issued or issuable upon the conversion of Preferred upon any stock split, stock
dividend, recapitalization, or similar event, which have not been sold to the

Common Stock outstanding on the date of this Agreement.
"Securities Act" shall mean the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or
any similar federal statute and the rules and regulations of the Commission
thereunder, all as the same shall be in effect at the time.

ARTICLE 2
RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER
2.1 Restrictions on Transferability. The Preferred (and any Common
Stock into which the Preferred may be converted), the Common Shares and the
Founders' Shares shall not be transferable except upon the conditions specified
in this Agreement, which conditions are intended to insure compliance with the
provisions of the Securities Act, or upon such other terms as are in the opinion
of counsel to the Company satisfactory to comply with the provisions of the
Securities Act. Except for transfers made pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities
Act ("Rule 144") or pursuant to an effective registration statement, each
Investor will cause any proposed transferee of Preferred (and any Common Stock
into which the Preferred may be converted) and
2.
any Common Shares held by such Investor, and each Founder will cause any
proposed transferee of Founders' Shares, to agree to take and hold such
securities subject to the provisions and upon the conditions specified in this
Agreement and it will be a condition precedent to the effectiveness of any such
transfer that the Company shall have secured a written agreement in form and
substance satisfactory to the Company to that effect, if so requested by the
Company.
2.2 Restrictive Legend. Each certificate representing (i) the
Preferred, (ii) the Common Shares, (iii) the Founders' Shares and (iv) shares of
the Company's Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Preferred or issued in
respect of such Preferred, Common Shares, Founders' Shares or Common Stock upon
any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, merger, consolidation or
similar event shall (unless otherwise permitted by the provisions of Section 2.3
below) be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend substantially in the
following form (in addition to any legend required under applicable California
or other state securities laws):
THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR
INVESTMENT AND HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF
1933. SUCH SHARES MAY NOT BE SOLD OR TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH
REGISTRATION OR AN EXEMPTION THEREFROM UNDER SAID ACT. COPIES OF THE
AGREEMENT COVERING THE PURCHASE OF THESE SHARES AND RESTRICTING THEIR
TRANSFER MAY BE OBTAINED AT NO COST BY WRITTEN REQUEST MADE BY THE
HOLDER OF RECORD OF THIS CERTIFICATE TO THE SECRETARY OF THE
CORPORATION.
2.3 Notice of Proposed Transfers. The holder of each certificate
representing Restricted Securities, by acceptance thereof, agrees to comply in
all respects with the provisions of this Section 2.3. Prior to any proposed
transfer of any Restricted Securities, unless there is in effect a registration
statement under the Securities Act covering the proposed transfer, the holder
thereof shall give written notice to the Company of such holder's intention to
effect such transfer. Each such notice shall describe the manner and
circumstances of the proposed transfer in sufficient detail, and shall be
accompanied (except in transactions in compliance with Rule 144) by either (i) a
written opinion of legal counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company
addressed to the Company and reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to
the Company's counsel, to the effect that the proposed transfer of the
Restricted Securities may be effected without registration under the Securities
Act, or (ii) a "no action letter" from the Commission, and a copy of the
investor's request (together with all supplements or amendments thereto), which
shall have been provided to the Company at or prior to the time of first
delivery to the Commission's staff, to the effect that the transfer of such
securities without registration will not result in a recommendation by such
staff that action be taken with respect thereto, whereupon the holder of such
Restricted Securities shall be entitled to transfer such Restricted Securities
in accordance with the terms of the notice delivered by the holder to the
Company. Each certificate evidencing the Restricted Securities transferred as
provided for above shall bear the appropriate restrictive legend set forth in
Section 2.2 above, except that such certificate shall not bear such restrictive
legend if, in the opinion of counsel for the Company or counsel for such holder,
which opinion and counsel shall be satisfactory to counsel for the Company, such
legend is not required in order to establish compliance with any provisions of
the Securities Act.
3.
Notwithstanding the provisions above, no such opinion of counsel or "no
action letter" shall be necessary for a transfer by an Investor which is a
partnership to a partner of such partnership or a retired partner of such
partnership who retires after the date hereof, or to the estate of any such
partner or retired partner or the transfer by gift, will or intestate succession
of any partner to his spouse or to the siblings, lineal descendants or ancestors
of such partner or his spouse, if the transferee agrees in writing to be subject
to the terms hereof to the same extent as if he were an original Investor
hereunder.
ARTICLE 3
REGISTRATION RIGHTS
3.1 Demand Registration Rights.
(a) If the Company shall receive a written request
(specifying that it is being made pursuant to this Section 3.1) from the Holders
of at least fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding Registrable Securities (the
"Initiating Holders") that the Company file a registration statement or similar
document under the Securities Act covering the registration of at least fifty
percent (50%) of the then outstanding Registrable Securities, or any lesser
percentage if the anticipated aggregate offering proceeds, net of Selling
Expenses, would be equal to or exceed $5,000,000, then the Company shall
promptly notify all other Holders of such request and shall use its best efforts
to cause all Registrable Securities that such Holders have requested, within 15
days after receipt of such written notice, to be registered under the Securities
Act in accordance with this Section 3.1.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, (1) the Company shall not be obligated
to effect a registration pursuant to this Section 3.1, (i) during the period
starting with the date ninety (90) days prior to the Company's estimated date of
filing of, and ending on a date sixty (60) days following the effective date of,
a registration statement pertaining to an underwritten public offering of the
Company's securities, provided that the Company is actively employing in good
faith all reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become
effective and that the Company's estimate of the date of filing such
registration statement is made in good faith, or (ii) within the 12 month period
following the closing of the initial underwritten public offering of the
Company's Common Stock, or (iii) prior to the second anniversary of the closing
date of the sale of Series B Preferred pursuant to the Series B Agreement, and
(2) if the Company shall furnish to such Holders a certificate signed by the
President of the Company stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board of
Directors it would be seriously detrimental to the Company or its Holders for a
registration statement to be filed in the near future, then the Company's
obligation to use its best efforts to file a registration statement shall be
deferred for a period not to exceed one hundred eighty (180) days; provided,
however, that the Company shall not obtain such a deferral more than once in any
12-month period.
The Company shall be obligated to effect not more than one registration
pursuant to this Section 3.1; provided, however, a demand registration request
shall not count as such until the registration statement to which it relates has
been declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"),
except that if, after it has been declared effective, such offering
4.
is interfered with by any stop order, injunction or other order or requirement
by the SEC or any other governmental authority, such registration shall be
deemed not to have been effected unless such stop order, injunction or other
order or requirement shall subsequently have been vacated or otherwise removed
or resulted from any action taken or information supplied by an Initiating
Holder, in which case a demand registration request shall only count as such
with respect to such Initiating Holder.
(b) If the Initiating Holders intend to distribute the
Registrable Securities covered by their demand by means of an underwriting, they
shall so advise the Company as part of their demand made pursuant to this
Section 3.1, and the Company shall include such information in the notice
referred to in Section 3.1(a). In such event, the right of any Holder to
registration pursuant to this Section 3.1 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.
The Company shall, together with all Holders proposing to distribute
their securities through such underwriting, enter into an underwriting agreement
in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected by a majority in
interest of the Initiating Holders and reasonably satisfactory to the Company.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 3.1, and subject to the
provisions of Section 3.2, if the underwriter shall advise the Company in
writing that marketing factors (including, without limitation, an adverse effect
on the per share offering price) require a limitation of the number of shares to
be underwritten, then the Company shall so advise all Holders of Registrable
Securities that would otherwise be registered and underwritten pursuant hereto,
and the number of shares of Registrable Securities that may be included in the
registration and underwriting shall be allocated pro rata among such Holders
thereof in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective amounts of
Registrable Securities held by such Holders at the time of filing the
registration statement. No Registrable Securities excluded from the underwriting
by reason of the foregoing underwriter's marketing limitation shall be included
in such registration.
If any Holder disapproves of the terms of the underwriting, such Holder
may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company, the
underwriter, and the Initiating Holders. The Registrable Securities so withdrawn
shall also be withdrawn from registration. If by the withdrawal of such
Registrable Securities a greater number of Registrable Securities held by other
Holders may be included in such registration (up to the maximum of any
limitation imposed by the underwriters), then the Company shall offer to all
Holders who have included Registrable Securities in the registration the right
to include additional Registrable Securities in the same proportion used in
determining the underwriter limitation in this Section 3.1(b).
If the underwriter has not limited the number of Registrable Securities
to be underwritten, the Company may include securities for its own account (or
for the account of other stockholders) in such registration if the underwriter
so agrees and if the number of Registrable Securities that would otherwise have
been included in such registration and underwriting will not thereby be limited.
5.
3.2 Company Registration.
(a) Notice to Holders. If, at any time or from time to
time, the Company shall determine to register any of its securities, either for
its own account or the account of others, other than a registration relating
solely to employee benefit plans on Form S-8 or similar forms which may be
promulgated in the future or a registration on Form S-4 or similar forms which
may be promulgated in the future relating solely to a Rule 145 (as defined
below) or similar transaction, the Company will (i) promptly give to each Holder
written notice thereof and (ii) include in such registration (and any related
qualification under Blue Sky laws or other compliance), and in any underwriting
involved therein, all Registrable Securities of such Holders as specified in a
written request or requests made within 15 days after receipt of such written
notice from the Company.
(b) Underwriting. If the registration statement of which
the Company gives notice under Section 3.2(a) is for an underwritten offering,
the Company shall so advise the Holders of Registrable Securities. In such
event, the right of any such Holder to be included in a registration pursuant to
this Section 3.2 shall be conditioned upon such Holder's participation in such
underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder's Registrable Securities in the
underwriting to the extent provided herein. All Holders proposing to distribute
their Registrable Securities through such underwriting (together with the
Company and other holders distributing their securities through such
underwriting) shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with
the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting. Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement, if the underwriter determines in good
faith that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of shares to be
underwritten, the number of shares that may be included in the underwriting
shall be allocated, first, to the Company; second, to the Holders on a pro rata
basis based on the total number of Registrable Securities held by the Holders;
and third, to any stockholder of the Company (other than a Holder) on a pro rata
basis. No such reduction shall reduce the securities being offered by the
Company for its own account to be included in the registration and underwriting,
except that in no event shall the amount of securities of the selling Holders
included in the registration be reduced below thirty percent (30%) of the total
amount of securities included in such registration, unless such offering is the
first underwritten public offering of the Company's securities and such
registration does not include shares of any other selling stockholders, in which
event any or all of the Registrable Securities of the Holders may be excluded in
accordance with the immediately preceding sentence. In no event will shares of
any other selling stockholder be included in such registration which would
reduce the number of shares which may be included by Holders without the written
consent of Holders of not less than a majority of the Registrable Securities
proposed to be sold in the offering. If any Holder disapproves of the terms of
any such underwriting, such Holder may elect to withdraw therefrom by written
notice to the Company and the underwriter. Any securities excluded or withdrawn
from such underwriting shall be withdrawn from such registration.
3.3 Form S-3 Registration Rights. After the Company's initial
registered underwritten public offering, the Company shall use its best efforts
to qualify for registration on Form S-3, and to that end the Company shall use
its best efforts to comply with the reporting requirements of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Securities Exchange Act"), within twelve
(12) months following the effective date of the first registration of any
6.
securities of the Company for an underwritten registered public offering. After
the Company has qualified for the use of Form S-3, and subject to the provisions
of Section 3.10, each Holder shall have the right to request registrations on
Form S-3 (such requests shall be in writing and shall state the number of shares
of Registrable Securities to be disposed of and the intended method of
disposition of such shares by each such Holder), subject only to the following
limitations:
(a) The Company shall be obligated to effect only two (2)
such registrations on Form S-3 in any twelve month period;
(b) The Company shall not be obligated to cause a
registration on Form S-3 to become effective prior to one hundred eighty (180)
days following the effective date of a Company initiated registration (other
than a registration effected solely to qualify an employee benefit plan on Form
S-8 or to effect a business combination pursuant to Rule 145 of the Securities
Act ("Rule 145"));
(c) The Company shall not be required to effect a
registration pursuant to this Section 3.3 unless the Holder or Holders
requesting such a registration propose to dispose of shares of Registrable
Securities having an aggregate disposition price (net of Selling Expenses) of at
least $1,000,000;
(d) The Company shall not be required to effect a
registration pursuant to this Section 3.3 if the Company shall furnish to the
requesting 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 or its Holders for the
registration statement to be filed at the date filing would be required, in
which case the Company shall have an additional period of not more than one
hundred eighty (180) days within which to file such registration statement;
provided however, that the Company shall not use this right more than once in
any twelve (12) month period; and
(e) The Company shall not be required to maintain and
keep any such registration on Form S-3 effective for a period exceeding one
hundred and twenty (120) days from the effective date thereof.
The Company shall give notice to all Holders of the receipt of a
request for registration pursuant to this Section 3.3 and shall use its best
efforts to cause all Registrable Securities that such Holders have requested,
within 15 days after receipt of such written notice, be registered in accordance
with this Section 3.3 to be registered under the Securities Act. Subject to the
foregoing, the Company will use its best efforts to effect promptly any
registration pursuant to this Section 3.3. The provisions of Section 3.1(b)
shall apply to any registration effected pursuant to this Section 3.3.
3.4 Expenses of Registration. All Registration Expenses incurred
in connection with any registration, qualification or compliance pursuant to
Sections 3.1, 3.2 and 3.3 (exclusive of Selling Expenses but inclusive of the
reasonable fees and expenses of one special counsel to the selling Holders)
shall be borne by the Company. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein,
the Company shall not be required to pay for any expenses of any registration
proceeding under Section 3.1 if the registration request is subsequently
withdrawn at the request of the
7.
Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities to have been registered,
unless such Holders agree to forfeit their right to a demand registration
pursuant to Section 3.1 (in which event such right shall be forfeited by all
Holders). In the absence of such an agreement to forfeit, the Holders of
Registrable Securities to have been registered shall bear all such expenses pro
rata on the basis of the Registrable Securities to have been registered.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, if at the time of the withdrawal, the
Holders have learned of a material adverse change in the condition, business, or
prospects of the Company from that known to the Holders at the time of their
request, of which the Company had knowledge at the time of the request, then the
Holders shall not be required to pay any of said expenses and shall retain their
rights pursuant to Section 3.1.
3.5 Registration Procedures. In the case of each registration,
qualification or compliance effected by the Company pursuant to this Section 3,
the Company will keep each Holder advised in writing as to the initiation of
each registration, qualification and compliance and as to the completion
thereof. At its expense the Company will:
(a) Keep such registration, qualification or compliance
effective for a period of 120 days or until the Holder or Holders have completed
the distribution described in the registration statement relating thereto,
whichever first occurs;
(b) Prepare and file with the Commission such amendments
and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in
connection with such registration statement as may be necessary to comply with
the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all
securities covered by such registration statement;
(c) Furnish to the Holders such numbers of copies of a
prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, in conformity with the
requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents as they may
reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of Registrable
Securities owned by them;
(d) Use its best efforts to register and qualify the
securities covered by such registration statement under such other securities or
Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as shall be reasonably requested by the
Holders, provided that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith
or as a condition thereto to qualify to do business or to file a general consent
to service of process in any such states or jurisdictions;
(e) In the event of any underwritten public offering,
enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual
and customary form, with the managing underwriter of such offering. Each Holder
participating in such underwriting shall also enter into and perform its
obligations under such an agreement; and
(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.
8.
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, the
Company shall not be required in connection with any registration pursuant to
Sections 3.1, 3.2 or 3.3 to qualify shares in any state or jurisdiction which
requires the Company to qualify to do business or to file a general consent to
service of process.
3.6 Indemnification.
(a) The Company will indemnify each Holder, each of its
officers and directors and partners, and each person controlling such Holder
within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, with respect to which
registration, qualification or compliance has been effected pursuant to this
Section 3, against all expenses, claims, losses, damages and liabilities (or
actions in respect thereof), including any of the foregoing incurred in
settlement of any litigation, commenced or threatened, arising out of or based
on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact
contained in any registration statement, prospectus, offering circular or other
document, or any amendment or supplement thereto, incident to any such
registration, qualification or compliance, or based on any omission (or alleged
omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances in
which they were made, not misleading, or any violation by the Company of any
rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act applicable to the
Company and relating to action or inaction required of the Company in connection
with any such registration, qualification or compliance, and will reimburse each
such Holder, each of its officers and directors and partners, and each person
controlling such Holder, for any legal and any other expenses reasonably
incurred in connection with investigating, preparing or defending any such
claim, loss, damage, liability or action, provided that the Company will not be
liable in any such case to the extent that any such claim, loss, damage,
liability or expense arises out of or is based on any untrue statement or
omission or alleged untrue statement or omission, made in reliance upon and in
conformity with written information furnished to the Company by an instrument
duly executed by such Holder or underwriter and stated to be specifically for
use therein.
(b) Each Holder will, if Registrable Securities held by
such Holder are included in the securities as to which such registration,
qualification or compliance is being effected, indemnify the Company, each of
its directors and officers, each person who controls the Company or such
underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, and each
other such Holder, each of its officers and directors and partners and each
person controlling such Holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the
Securities Act, against all expenses, claims, losses, damages and liabilities
(or actions in respect thereof) including any of the foregoing incurred in
settlement of any litigation commenced or threatened, arising out of or based on
any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained
in any such registration statement, prospectus, offering circular or other
document, or any amendment or supplement thereto, incident to any such
registration, qualification or compliance or based on any omission (or alleged
omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances in
which they were made, not misleading, or any violation by the Company of any
rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act applicable to the
Company in connection with any such registration, qualification, or compliance,
and will reimburse the Company, such Holders, such directors, officers,
partners, persons, or control persons for any legal or any other expenses
reasonably
9.
incurred in connection with investigating, preparing or defending any such
claim, loss, damage, liability or action, in each case to the extent, but only
to the extent, that such untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) or
omission (or alleged omission) is made in such registration statement,
prospectus, offering circular or other document or any amendment or supplement
thereto in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to
the Company by an instrument duly executed by such Holder and stated to be
specifically for use therein; provided, however, that the obligations of such
Holders hereunder shall be limited to an amount equal to the net proceeds to
each such Holder of Registrable Securities sold as contemplated herein.
(c) Each party entitled to indemnification under this
Section 3.6 (the "Indemnified Party") shall give notice to the party required to
provide indemnification (the "Indemnifying Party") promptly after such
Indemnified Party has actual knowledge of any claim as to which indemnity may be
sought, and shall permit the Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of any
such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom, provided that counsel for the
Indemnifying Party, who shall conduct the defense of such claim or litigation,
shall be approved by the Indemnified Party (whose approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld), and the Indemnified Party may participate in such
defense at its own expense; 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 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 of any Indemnified Party to give
notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its
obligations under this Section 3.6 unless such failure resulted in actual
detriment to the Indemnifying Party. 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 which does
not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or
plaintiff to such Indemnified Party a release from all liability in respect of
such claim or litigation.
(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section
3.6 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. 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 relative intent,
knowledge, access to information, and opportunity to correct or prevent such

its securities to the general public;
(b) Use its best efforts to then file with the Commission
in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under

(c) So long as an Holder owns any Restricted Securities,
to furnish to such Holder forthwith upon request a written statement by the
Company as to its compliance with the reporting requirements of said Rule 144
(at any time after 90 days after the effective date of the first registration

public) and of the Securities Act and the Securities Exchange Act (at any time
after it has become subject to such reporting requirements), a copy of the most
recent annual or quarterly report of the Company, and such other reports and
documents of the Company as an Holder may reasonably request in availing itself
of any rule or regulation of the Commission allowing an Holder to sell any such
securities without registration.
3.9 Transfer of Registration Rights. The rights to cause the
Company to register securities granted under Sections 3.1, 3.2 and 3.3 may be

such Holder at the time of or within a reasonable time after said transfer,
stating the name, address and a reasonably detailed description of the principal
business or occupation of said transferee or assignee and any such other
information as is reasonably requested by the Company in order to carry out the
intent of these provisions and identifying the securities with respect to which

or future competitor of the Company and (d) such transferee or assignee (i) is a

individual transferror or his family members, or (v) acquires at least 50,000

of the provisions of this Agreement relating to such rights, including without
limitation the provisions of Sections 3.6 and 3.11 of this Agreement.
3.10 Termination of Registration Rights. The registration rights
granted pursuant to this Section 3 shall terminate (i) upon the fifth
anniversary of the effective date of the first registration statement filed by
the Company covering a firm commitment underwritten offering of its securities
to the general public, which offering has closed, or (ii) if earlier, as to any
individual Holder, at such time after the Company's initial registered public
offering as all Registrable Securities held by such Holder can be sold without
compliance with the registration requirements of the Securities Act pursuant to
Rule 144(k) promulgated thereunder and such Holder owns less than 1% of the
Company's outstanding capital stock.
3.11 "Market Stand Off" Agreement. Each Holder and each Founder
hereby agrees that it shall not, to the extent requested by the Company and an
underwriter of Common Stock (or other securities) of the Company, sell or
otherwise transfer or dispose of (other than to those who agree to be similarly
bound) any Registrable Securities, Founders' Shares, or any other securities of
the Company for a period (the "Stand Off Period") of up to one hundred eighty
(180) days following the effective date of a registration statement of the
Company filed under the Securities Act; provided, however, that (i) such
agreement shall only be applicable to the first such registration statement of
the Company which covers shares (or securities) to be sold on its behalf to the
public in an underwritten offering; and (ii) the length of the Stand Off Period
shall not exceed the shortest period of time agreed to by any officer, director
or 5% holder of the Company.
In order to enforce the foregoing covenant, the Company may impose
stop-transfer instructions with respect to the Registrable Securities of Holders
and Founders (and the shares or securities of every other person subject to the
foregoing restriction) until the end of the Stand Off Period.
3.12 Inclusion of Stock Held by Founders and Common Stock held by
Holders. In connection with any registration effected pursuant to Section 3.2
hereof, each of the Founders and each of the Holders, with respect to shares of
Common Stock of the Company that are held by the Founders and the Holders and
are not "Registrable Securities" for purposes of this Agreement, shall be
entitled to participate in such registration, on the same terms and conditions
as Holders selling their Registrable Securities in such registration and, for
purposes of Section 3.2, (i) each such Founder and Holder shall be entitled to
all of the rights and shall be subject to all of the obligations applicable to a
Holder in connection with such registration, including without limitation the
provisions of Sections 3.6 and 3.11 of this Agreement, (ii) all such securities,
and any shares of Common Stock issued in respect thereof upon any stock split,
stock dividend, recapitalization or similar event, shall be deemed to be
"Registrable Securities," (iii) all references to "Holder" in this Agreement
shall be deemed to include such Founder and Holder
12.
for purposes of such registration and (iv) any Underwriter Cutback shall apply
pro rata to the shares so included by the Founders and Holders participating in
such registration.
3.13 Limitations on Subsequent Registration Rights. From and after
the date of this Agreement, the Company shall not, without the prior written
consent of Holders holding more than fifty percent (50%) of the Registrable
Securities, enter into any agreement with any holder or prospective holder of
any securities of the Company which would allow such holder or prospective
holder to (i) require the Company to effect a registration or (ii) include any
securities in any registration filed under Sections 3.1, 3.2 or 3.3 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 such securities will not diminish the amount of Registrable
Securities which are included in such registration, and such agreement includes
the equivalent of Section 3.11 as a term.

information received by it pursuant to Section 4, and any other information
relating to the Company's technology, processes or formulas that is disclosed by
the Company to any Holder in writing and is marked "Confidential," shall be
considered confidential information. Each Holder further agrees that it shall
hold all confidential information relating to the Company in confidence and
shall not disclose any such confidential information to any third party other
than its counsel or accountants nor shall such Holder use such confidential
information for any purpose other than evaluation of such Holder's investment in

confidence and not to disclose confidential information shall not apply to any
such information that (a) was known to the public prior to disclosure by the
Company, (b) becomes known to the public through no fault of such Holder, (c) is
disclosed to such Holder on a non-confidential basis by a third party having a
legal right to make such disclosure or (d) is independently developed by such
Holder.
5.2 Right of First Refusal. The Company hereby grants to each
Purchaser (defined below) the right of first refusal to purchase its Pro Rata
Share (defined below) of all (or any part) of any New Securities (defined below)
that the Company may from time to time propose to sell and issue. Such
Purchaser's "Pro Rata Share," for purposes of this right of first refusal, is
the ratio of the number of shares of Common Stock (assuming conversion to Common
Stock of all shares of the Preferred) then held by such Purchaser to the total
number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding (assuming conversion to Common
Stock of all outstanding shares of the Company's Preferred Stock). This right of
first refusal shall be subject to the following provisions:
(a) "Purchaser" shall mean, with respect to any issuance
of New Securities of the Company, each Founder who then holds any Common Stock
and each Holder who then holds any Preferred (or Common Stock issued upon
conversion thereof) or any Common Shares.
(b) "New Securities" shall mean any Common Stock or
Preferred Stock of the Company, whether now authorized or not, and rights,
options or warrants to purchase said Common Stock or Preferred Stock, and
securities of any type whatsoever that are, or may become, convertible into or
exchangeable for said Common Stock or Preferred Stock; provided, however, that
"New Securities" does not include (i) securities issuable upon conversion of or
with respect to the Preferred or any future series of Preferred Stock of the
Company; (ii) securities offered to the public pursuant to a registration
statement filed under the Securities Act; (iii) securities issued pursuant to
the acquisition of another corporation or other business entity by the Company
by merger, purchase of all or substantially all of the assets or other
reorganization; (iv) up to 500,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock or other
securities (or related options) issued to directors, officers or employees of,
or consultants to, the Company pursuant to an agreement or an option or purchase
plan or another director, officer, employee or consultant stock incentive
program approved by the Board of Directors of the Company; (vi) shares of the
Company's Common Stock or Preferred Stock issued in connection with any stock
split, stock dividend, or recapitalization by the Company; (vii) securities
issued to persons or
15.
entities in connection with bank or equipment lease financing, technology
licensing or corporate partnering transactions and the like approved by the
Board of Directors of the Company; and (viii) shares of Preferred issued
pursuant to the Series B Agreement.
(c) In the event that the Company proposes to undertake
an issuance of New Securities, it shall give each Purchaser written notice of
its intention, describing the type of New Securities, the price, and the general
terms upon which the Company proposes to issue the same. Each Purchaser shall
have ten (10) days from the date of delivery of any such notice to agree to
purchase his Pro Rata Share of such New Securities for the price and upon the
general terms specified in the notice by giving written notice to the Company
and stating therein the quantity of New Securities to be purchased.
(d) In the event that Purchasers fail to exercise in full
the right of first refusal within said ten (10) day period, the Company shall
have sixty (60) business days thereafter to sell (or enter into an agreement
pursuant to which the sale of New Securities covered thereby shall be closed, if
at all, within sixty (60) business days from the date of said agreement) the New
Securities respecting which the Purchasers' rights were not exercised, at a
price and upon general terms no more favorable to the purchasers thereof than
specified in the Company's notice. In the event the Company has not sold the New
Securities within said sixty (60) business day period (or sold and issued new
Securities in accordance with the foregoing within sixty (60) business days from
the date of said agreement), the Company shall not thereafter issue or sell any
New Securities, without first offering such securities to the Purchasers in the
manner provided above.
(e) The right of first refusal granted under this
Agreement shall expire upon the earlier of (i) the closing of the Company's
first underwritten public offering of Common Stock pursuant to a registration
statement declared effective under the Securities Act, or (ii) a merger,
acquisition or other change in control of the Company. As used herein, "change
of control" means the occurrence of an event that results in the existing
stockholders of the Company, just prior to the event, owning less than 50% of
the voting power of the Company, as measured just following the event.
(f) This right of first refusal is nonassignable except
to any other Purchaser or to any parent, subsidiary or general or limited
partner of any Purchaser.

eight (296,678) shares of Series B Preferred Stock of the Company;
