Notwithstanding any such withdrawal, the Company shall pay all expenses incurred by the holders of Registrable Securities in connection with such Piggy-Back Registration as provided in Section 3.3.

2.4.4 If any sale of Registrable Securities shall be effected by means of an underwritten offering, (a) each of the Investors, the members of the Company Board and the executive officers of the Company (collectively, the “Lock-Up Parties”) shall enter into a customary “lock-up” agreement (which lock-up agreements shall contain identical terms) in favor of the underwriters and (b) neither the Company nor any Lock-Up Party shall effect any public sale or distribution of any of the Company’s securities (except as part of such underwritten offering), including any sale pursuant to Rule 144 or by entering into any swap, hedge or other arrangement that transfers, in whole or in part, the economic consequence of ownership of such securities, during the ten (10) Business Days prior to, and continuing for ninety (90) Business Days after, the date of the pricing of such underwritten offering (unless the underwriters, the Company and the Investors agree on a different time period). The foregoing notwithstanding, no Lock-Up Party shall be required to terminate an existing 10b5-1 plan or to cease sales under any such plan. No Lock-Up Party holding any class of securities subject to this Section 2.4.4 shall be released from any obligation under any agreement, arrangement or understanding entered into with respect to this Section 2.4.4 unless the Investors are also released.

2.4.5 The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the Investors, enter into any agreement with any holder or prospective holder of any security of the Company giving such holder or prospective holder any registration rights the terms of which are more favorable than the registration rights granted to the holders of Registrable Securities hereunder, or which would reduce the amount of Registrable Securities such holders can include in any (i) registration statement filed pursuant to Sections 2.1 and 2.3.1 hereunder or (ii) Underwritten Takedown pursuant to Section 2.3.4 hereunder, unless such rights are subordinate to those of the holders of Registrable Securities.

3.1 Filings; Information. Whenever the Company is required to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect the registration and sale of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution thereof as expeditiously as practicable, and in connection with any such request:

3.1.1 Filing Registration Statement. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to, as expeditiously as possible after receipt of a request for a Demand Registration pursuant to Section 2.1, prepare and file with the Commission a Registration Statement on any form for which the Company then qualifies or which counsel for the Company shall deem appropriate and which form shall be available for the sale of all Registrable Securities to be registered thereunder in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution thereof, and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective and use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep it effective for the Effectiveness Period; provided, however, that the Company shall have the right to defer any Demand Registration for up to forty-five (45) days, and any Piggy-Back Registration for such period as may be applicable to deferment of any Demand Registration to which such Piggy-Back Registration relates, in each case if the Company shall furnish to the holders a certificate signed by the chief executive officer and chief financial officer of the Company stating that, in the good faith judgment of the Company Board, if the Registration Statement were to be effected at such time, it would (i) materially interfere with a bona fide material acquisition, corporate organization or other similar transaction involving the Company or (ii) require premature disclosure of material information that the Company has a bona fide business purpose for preserving as confidential, the premature disclosure of which would materially adversely affect the Company; provided, further, however, that the Company shall not have the right to exercise the right set forth in the immediately preceding proviso for more than a total of ninety (90) days in any 365-day period.

3.1.2 Copies. The Company shall, prior to filing a Registration Statement or prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, furnish without charge to the holders of Registrable Securities included in such registration, and such holders’ legal counsel, copies of such Registration Statement as proposed to be filed, each amendment and supplement to such Registration Statement (in each case including all exhibits thereto and documents incorporated by reference therein), the prospectus included in such Registration Statement (including each preliminary prospectus) and such other documents as the holders of Registrable Securities included in such registration or legal counsel for any such holders may request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such holders.

3.1.3 Amendments and Supplements. The Company shall prepare and file with the Commission such amendments, including post-effective amendments, and supplements to such Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective and in compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act until the date on which all Registrable Securities and other securities covered by such Registration Statement have been disposed of in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution set forth in such Registration Statement or such securities have been withdrawn (the “Effectiveness Period”).

3.1.4 Notification. After the filing of a Registration Statement, the Company shall promptly, and in no event more than two (2) Business Days after such filing, notify the holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement of such filing, and shall further notify such holders within two (2) Business Days of the occurrence of any of the following: (i) when such Registration Statement becomes effective; (ii) when any post-effective amendment to such Registration Statement becomes effective; (iii) the issuance or threatened issuance by the Commission of any stop order (and the Company shall take all actions required to prevent the entry of such stop order or to remove it if entered); and (iv) any request by the Commission for any amendment or supplement to such Registration Statement or any prospectus relating thereto or for additional information or of the occurrence of an event requiring the preparation of a supplement or amendment to such prospectus so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of the securities covered by such Registration Statement, such prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and promptly make available to the holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement any such supplement or amendment; except that before filing with the Commission a Registration Statement or prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, including documents incorporated by reference, the Company shall furnish to the holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement and to the legal counsel for any such holders, copies of all such documents proposed to be filed sufficiently in advance of filing to provide such holders and legal counsel with a reasonable opportunity to review such documents and comment thereon.

3.1.5 Securities Laws Compliance. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to (i) register or qualify the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement under such securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions in the United States as the holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement (in light of their intended plan of distribution) may reasonably request and (ii) take such action necessary to cause such Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement to be registered with or approved by such other governmental authorities as may be necessary by virtue of the business and operations of the Company and do any and all other acts and things that may be necessary or advisable to enable the holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities in such jurisdictions; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this paragraph or subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction.

3.1.6 Agreements for Disposition. The Company shall enter into customary agreements (including, if applicable, an underwriting agreement in customary form) and take such other actions as are reasonably required in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities. The representations, warranties and covenants of the Company in any underwriting agreement which are made to or for the benefit of any Underwriters, to the extent applicable, shall also be made to and for the benefit of the holders of Registrable Securities included in such registration statement, and the representations, warranties and covenants of the holders of Registrable Securities included in such registration statement in any underwriting agreement which are made to or for the benefit of any Underwriters, to the extent applicable, shall also be made to and for the benefit of the Company.

3.1.7 Comfort Letter. The Company shall obtain a “cold comfort” letter from the Company’s independent registered public accountants in the event of an underwritten offering, in customary form and covering such matters of the type customarily covered by “cold comfort” letters as the managing Underwriter may reasonably request, and as are reasonably satisfactory to participating holders holding a majority of the Registrable Securities included in such offering.

3.1.8 Opinions. On the date the Registrable Securities are delivered for sale pursuant to any Registration or Underwritten Takedown, the Company shall obtain an opinion, dated such date, of one (1) counsel representing the Company for the purposes of such Registration, addressed to the holders, the placement agent or sales agent, if any, and the Underwriters, if any, covering such legal matters with respect to the Registration in respect of which such opinion is being given as the holders, placement agent, sales agent or Underwriter may reasonably request and as are customarily included in such opinions, and as are reasonably satisfactory to participating holders holding a majority of the Registrable Securities included in such offering.

3.1.10 Records. Upon execution of confidentiality agreements, the Company shall make available for inspection by the holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement, any Underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to such registration statement and any attorney, accountant or other professional retained by any holder of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement or any Underwriter, all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company, as shall be necessary to enable them to exercise their due diligence responsibility, and cause the Company’s officers, directors and employees to supply all information requested by any of them in connection with such Registration Statement.

3.1.11 Listing.

4.1 Indemnification by the Company. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Investor and each other holder of Registrable Securities, and each of their respective officers, employees, affiliates, directors, partners, members, attorneys and agents, and each person, if any, who controls an Investor and each other holder of Registrable Securities (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) (each, an “Investor Indemnified Party”), from and against any expenses, losses, judgments, claims, damages or liabilities, whether joint or several, arising out of or based upon any untrue statement (or allegedly untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement under which the sale of such Registrable Securities was registered under the Securities Act, any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus or summary prospectus contained in the Registration Statement, or any amendment or supplement to such Registration Statement, any “free writing prospectus” (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act), or any “issuer information” (as defined in Rule 433 under the Securities Act) or any “road show” (as defined in Rule 433 under the Securities Act), or arising out of or based upon any omission (or alleged omission) to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or any violation by the Company of the Securities Act or any rule or regulation promulgated thereunder applicable to the Company and relating to action or inaction required of the Company in connection with any such registration; and the Company shall promptly reimburse the Investor Indemnified Party for any legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred by such Investor Indemnified Party in connection with investigating and defending any such expense, loss, judgment, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such expense, loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or allegedly untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in such Registration Statement, preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, or summary prospectus, or any such amendment or supplement, any “free writing prospectus” (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act), or any “road show” (as defined in Rule 433 under the Securities Act) in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the Company, in writing, by such selling holder expressly for use therein.

4.2 Indemnification by Holders of Registrable Securities. Each selling holder of Registrable Securities will severally, in the event that any registration is being effected under the Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement of any Registrable Securities held by such selling holder, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors and officers against any losses, claims, judgments, damages or liabilities, whether joint or several, insofar as such losses, claims, judgments, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or allegedly untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement under which the sale of such Registrable Securities was registered under the Securities Act, any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus or summary prospectus contained in the Registration Statement, or any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement, any “free writing prospectus” (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act), or any “issuer information” (as defined in Rule 433 under the Securities Act) or any “road show” (as defined in Rule 433 under the Securities Act), or arise out of or are based upon any omission or the alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statement therein not misleading, if the statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by such selling holder expressly for use therein, and shall reimburse the Company, its directors and officers for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by any of them in connection with investigation or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action. Each selling holder’s indemnification obligations hereunder shall be several and not joint and shall be limited to the amount of any net proceeds actually received by such selling holder.

4.3 Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. Promptly after receipt by any person of any notice of any loss, claim, damage or liability or any action in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Sections 4.1 or 4.2, such person (the “Indemnified Party”) shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any other person for indemnification hereunder, notify such other person (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing of the loss, claim, judgment, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the failure by the Indemnified Party to notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability which the Indemnifying Party may have to such Indemnified Party hereunder, except and solely to the extent the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by such failure. If the Indemnified Party is seeking indemnification with respect to any claim or action brought against the Indemnified Party, then the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in such claim or action, and, to the extent that it wishes, jointly with all other Indemnifying Parties, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. After notice from the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of its election to assume control of the defense of such claim or action, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, that in any action in which both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party are named as defendants, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel (but no more than one (1) such separate counsel, which counsel is reasonably acceptable to the Indemnifying Party) to represent the Indemnified Party and its controlling persons who may be subject to liability arising out of any claim in respect of which indemnity may be sought by the Indemnified Party against the Indemnifying Party, with the fees and expenses of such counsel to be paid by such Indemnifying Party if, based upon the written opinion of counsel of such Indemnified Party, representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, consent to entry of judgment or effect any settlement of any claim or pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which the Indemnified Party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless such judgment or settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such claim or proceeding.

4.4 Contribution.

4.4.1 If the indemnification provided for in the foregoing Sections 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3 is unavailable to any Indemnified Party in respect of any loss, claim, damage, liability or action referred to herein, then each such Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, claim, damage, liability or action in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnified Parties and the Indemnifying Parties in connection with the actions or omissions which resulted in such loss, claim, damage, liability or action, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of any Indemnified Party and any Indemnifying Party 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 such Indemnified Party or such Indemnifying Party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

4.4.2 The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 4.4.2 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding Section 4.4.1.

4.4.3 The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Party as a result of any loss, claim, damage, liability or action referred to in the immediately preceding paragraphs shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 4.4, no holder of Registrable Securities shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the dollar amount of the net proceeds (after payment of any underwriting fees, discounts, commissions or taxes) actually received by such holder from the sale of Registrable Securities which gave rise to such contribution obligation. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

5.1 Rule 144. The Company covenants that it shall file any reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and shall take such further action as the holders of Registrable Securities may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such holders to sell Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as such Rule may be amended from time to time, or any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the Commission.

The Investors agrees to keep confidential “Evaluation Material” (as defined in the Confidentiality Agreement) received prior to the date hereof and all proprietary and all non-public information regarding the Company and its subsidiaries received pursuant to Section 6.5 (the “Confidential Information”), and in each case not to disclose or reveal any such Confidential Information to any Person without the prior written consent of the Company; provided, however, that Confidential Information may be disclosed by any Investor to its members, directors, managers, officers, employees, debt financing sources, potential purchasers of Equity Securities from any Investor Party with respect to Transfers that would be permitted pursuant to Section 8.3 (“Potential Purchasers”), consultants, agents, advisors and representatives, including the First Director, Second Director, Third Director and Observer (collectively, “Permitted Representatives”) who need to know such Confidential Information for the purpose of evaluating, monitoring or taking any other action with respect to the investment by any Investor in any Series A Shares, Series A-1 Shares or Common Shares issued or issuable upon conversion of any Preferred Shares pursuant to the Certificate of Designation, and agree to cause such Permitted Representatives to observe the terms of this Section 6.6; provided, that nothing herein shall prevent any Investor or any Permitted Representative from disclosing any Confidential Information that (1) is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of any act or omission by an Investor or such Permitted Representative in violation of this Section 6.6, (2) was available to any Investor or Permitted Representative on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure to any Investor or Permitted Representative by the Company or its representatives, (3) becomes available to any Investor or Permitted Representatives from a source other than the Company or its representatives when such source is entitled, to the knowledge of such Investor, to make such disclosure without violating any fiduciary duty or any non-disclosure or confidentiality agreement, or (4) is required to be disclosed by law, rule or regulation (provided; that prior to such disclosure, the applicable Investor shall, unless prohibited by law, rule, regulation or order, promptly notify the Company of any such disclosure, use reasonable efforts to limit the disclosure requirements of such law or order, and maintain the confidentiality of such information to the maximum extent permitted by law, rule or regulation). If any Investor or Permitted Representative is requested or required (by oral questions, interrogatories, requests for information, subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process) to disclose any Confidential Information, it is agreed that such Investor will provide the Company with prompt written notice of such request(s) so that the Company may seek (at the Company’s sole cost) an appropriate protective order or other appropriate remedy and/or waive the Investor’s compliance with this Section 6.6. If, failing the entry of a protective order or the receipt of a waiver hereunder, any Investor or Permitted Representative is, after consultation with outside counsel, compelled to disclose Confidential Information, such Investor or Permitted Representative may disclose only that portion of such information that in the opinion of Investor’s counsel is legally required without liability hereunder; provided, that such Investor agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, at the Company’s sole expense, assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded such information, including, by cooperating with the Company to obtain an appropriate protective order or other reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded the Confidential Information.

7.1 Right to Participate in Certain Sales of Additional Securities.

7.1.1 For so long as any shares of Registrable Securities remain outstanding, the Company agrees that it will not (and that it will cause its subsidiaries not to) sell or issue any shares of Capital Stock or Equity Securities, in each case, unless (x) the Company first submits a written notice (a “Pre-Emptive Right Notice”) to the Investors (for the benefit of the Investor Parties) setting forth in reasonable detail (A) the designation and all of the terms and provisions of the securities proposed to be issued (the “Proposed Securities”), including, to the extent applicable, the voting powers, preferences and relative participating, optional or other special rights, and the qualification, limitations or restrictions thereof and interest rate and maturity; (B) the price, timing (which shall be at least three (3) but no more than six (6) Business Days after the delivery or deemed delivery of such Pre-Emptive Right Notice to the Investor) and other terms of the proposed sale of such Proposed Securities; and (C) the amount of such Proposed Securities proposed to be issued; provided, that following the delivery of such notice, the Company shall deliver to the Investors (for the benefit of the Investor Parties) any such information the Investors may reasonably request in order to evaluate the proposed issuance, (y) it offers to issue and sell to the Investor Parties, on such terms as the Proposed Securities are issued and upon full payment by the Investor Parties, the Participation Portion of the Proposed Securities (allocated among the Investor Parties as may be determined by the Investors acting in their sole discretion); provided, however, that, subject to compliance with the terms and conditions set forth in Section 7.1.5, the Company shall not be required to offer to issue or sell to the Investor Parties the portion of the Proposed Securities that would require the Company to obtain stockholder approval in respect of the issuance of any Proposed Securities to the Investor Parties under Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5635 unless such approval has been obtained (provided, further, however, that the Company shall still be obligated to provide written notice of such proposed issuance to the Investors (for the benefit of the Investor Parties), which notice shall include a description of the Proposed Securities (including the number thereof) that would require stockholder approval in respect of the issuance thereof (the “Restricted Issuance Information”)).

7.1.2 The Investor Parties will have the option, exercisable by written notice delivered by the Investors (on behalf of the Investor Parties) to the Company, to accept the Company’s offer and commit to purchase any or all of the Proposed Securities offered to be sold by the Company to the Investor Parties (allocated among such Investor Parties as determined by the Investors in their sole discretion), which notice must be given prior to the later of (x) five (5) Business Days after receipt of such notice from the Company and (y) two (2) Business Days prior to the proposed issuance date set forth in the Pre-Emptive Right Notice (the “Pre-Emptive Right Lapse Time”). If the Company offers two (2) or more securities as a unit to all other participants in the offering, the Investor Parties will be given the same choice as provided to other participants in the offering. The closing of the exercise of such subscription right shall take place simultaneously with the closing of the sale of the Proposed Securities giving rise to such subscription right; provided, however, that the closing of any purchase by any such Investor Party may be extended beyond the closing of the sale of the Proposed Securities giving rise to such preemptive right to the extent necessary to (i) obtain required approvals from any Governmental Authority or (ii) permit one or more Investor Parties to receive proceeds from calling capital pursuant to commitments made by its (or its affiliated investment funds’) limited partners. Upon the expiration of the offering period described above, the Company will be free to sell such Proposed Securities that the Investor Parties have not elected to purchase during the 60 days following such expiration on terms and conditions no more favorable to the purchasers thereof than those offered to the Investor Parties in the Pre-Emptive Right Notice delivered in accordance with Section 7.1.1. Any Proposed Securities offered or sold by the Company after such 60-day period must be reoffered to issue or sell to the Investor Parties pursuant to this Section 7.1; provided that, subject to compliance with the terms and conditions set forth in Section 7.1.5, the Company shall not be required to reoffer to the Investor Parties the portion of the Proposed Securities that would require the Company to obtain stockholder approval in respect of the issuance of any Proposed Securities under the under Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5635 unless such approval has been obtained.

7.1.3 The election by any Investor Party not to exercise its pre-emptive rights under this Section 7.1 in any one instance shall not affect its right as to any subsequent proposed issuance.

7.1.4 In the case of an issuance subject to this Section 7.1 for consideration in whole or in part other than cash, including securities acquired in exchange therefor, the consideration other than cash shall be deemed to be the “Fair Market Value” (as defined in the Certificate of Designation) thereof.

7.1.5 In the event that the Company is not required to offer or reoffer to an Investor Party any Proposed Securities because such issuance would require the Company to obtain stockholder approval in respect of the issuance of any Proposed Securities under Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5635, the Company shall, upon the reasonable request of the Investors delivered to the Company in writing at or before the Pre-Emptive Right Lapse Time, at the Investors’ election (acting in its sole discretion):

(a) waive the restrictions set forth in Section 8.1 solely to the extent necessary to permit the Investor Parties to acquire such number of securities of the Company (including Common Shares) equivalent to the Participation Portion of the Proposed Securities the Investor Parties would have been entitled to purchase had they been entitled to acquire such Proposed Securities pursuant to Section 7.1 (provided, that such request the Investors shall not be deemed to be a violation of Section 8.1);

(b) consider and discuss in good faith modifications proposed by the Investors to the terms and conditions of such portion of the Proposed Securities which would otherwise be issued to the Investor Party such that the Company would not be required to obtain stockholder approval in respect of the issuance of such Proposed Securities as so modified; and/or;

(c) take such actions as may be reasonably necessary to seek stockholder approval in respect of the issuance of any Proposed Securities to the Investor Parties, including without limitation, calling a special meeting of the Company’s stockholders to vote on (and including in the proxy statement related thereto) a proposal to authorize and approve potential equity issuances by the Company upon exercise of the Investor Parties’ rights pursuant to Section 7 which occur prior to the seven-year anniversary of such special meeting and a recommendation by the Company Board in favor of the approval of such proposal (providing the highest level of support for the approval of such proposal as the Company Board provides to any other proposal included in either such proxy statement or the proxy statement for the preceding year’s annual meeting of stockholders).

7.2 Exceptions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the right to purchase granted to the Investor Parties under this Section 7 shall be inapplicable with respect to Permitted Financings (as defined below) and the issuance of Exempted Securities (as defined in the Certificate of Designation). The Company and the Investors also severally agree that, with respect to an underwritten offering of securities that is consummated within one year of the Closing Date, to the extent the offer and sale of any securities in such underwritten offering to any Investor Party pursuant to this Section 7 would not comply with Rule 2010 of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority Manual or applicable rules and regulations of the Commission, then the Company shall not be required to make such an offer and sale in such underwritten offering to any Investor Party pursuant to this Section 7. In such event, the Company agrees that it will cooperate with the Investor Parties and will promptly take all actions to effect the offer and sale of securities to the Investor Parties in an alternative manner that complies with Rule 2010 of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority Manual or applicable rules and regulations of the Commission so that the intents and purposes of this Section 7 are effectuated, including without limitation by offering the Investor Parties securities in a private transaction that provide the Investor Parties the opportunity to maintain their respective proportional stock ownership in the Company on a fully-diluted basis.

8.1 Standstill. The Investors agree that during the Standstill Period, without the prior written approval of the Company or the Company Board, or as otherwise expressly permitted or contemplated by this Agreement (including Section 7) or the Certificate of Designation, Investor will not and will cause its respective Affiliates not to acquire beneficial ownership of any securities (including in derivative form) of the Company, in each case excluding (x) the Series A Shares, purchased either directly from the Company or pursuant to a conversion of Series A-1 Shares, Series A-1 Shares or Common Shares issuable upon conversion of the Series A Shares, and (y) any Capital Stock or other Equity Securities of the Company pursuant to or in accordance with the Certificate of Designation or Section 7 hereof.

8.2 Short Sales Prohibited. Investor shall not engage, directly or indirectly, in any transactions in the Company’s securities (including, without limitation, any Short Sales involving the Company’s securities) during the period from the date hereof until the earlier of (i) the consummation of a Deemed Liquidation (as defined in the Certificate of Designation); and (ii) the date that Investor Parties do not own any Series A Shares, Series A-1 Shares or Common Shares issuable upon conversion of the Series A Shares, including Series A Shares issuable upon conversion of the Series A-1 Shares.

8.3 Lock-Up. The Investors agree that during the Lock-Up Period, Investor shall not Transfer any Common Shares issuable upon conversion of the Series A Shares, except as part of a pledge by Investor of the equity securities it acquires in any portfolio company that is made to secure indebtedness existing as of the date hereof for borrowed money incurred in connection with on-call commitments of such Investor’s limited partners (a “Permitted Pledge”) or to any Affiliate of Investor.

8.4 Investor Consent Rights. For so long as any shares of the Preferred Shares remain outstanding, the following actions may only be taken by the Company or any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries with the written consent of Investors representing a majority of the outstanding Preferred Shares:

8.4.1 amend, waive, alter or repeal the preferences, rights, privileges or powers of the Preferred Shares;

8.4.2 amend, alter or repeal any provision of the Certificate of Designation in a manner that is adverse to the holders of Preferred Shares;

8.4.3 authorize, create or issue any equity securities senior to or pari passu with either series of the Preferred Shares; or

8.4.4 increase or decrease the number of directors constituting the Company Board.

8.5 Additional Investor Consent Rights.

8.5.1.1 (a) authorize, create or issue any debt securities for borrowed money or funded debt pursuant to which the Company or any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries issues shares, warrants or any other convertible security in the same transaction or a series of related transactions; or (b) authorize, create or issue any debt securities for borrowed money or funded debt pursuant to which the Company or any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries does not issue shares, warrants or any other convertible security in the same transaction or a series of related transactions exceeding $4.5 million initially (the “Debt Threshold”), excluding, however: (i) any capitalized and operating leases entered into by the Company or its direct or indirect subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice; and (ii) any debt incurred by the Company pursuant to the terms of the Company’s existing term loan and credit facility with Silicon Valley Bank as it is proposed to be expanded on the Closing Date on similar terms with Silicon Valley Bank or another comparable credit facility provider subsequent to the Closing Date; provided, that if the aggregate consolidated revenue recognized by the Company and its direct or indirect subsidiaries (the “Combined Revenue”) as reported by the Company on Form 10-K for any fiscal year ending after the Closing Date exceeds $45 million dollars, the Debt Threshold for the following fiscal year shall increase to an amount equal to: (iii) ten percent (10%); multiplied by (iv) the Combined Revenue as reported by the Company on Form 10-K for the previous fiscal year;

8.5.1.2 merge with or acquire all or substantially all of the assets of one or more other companies or entities with a value in excess of $20 million (the “Acquisition Threshold”); provided, that the Acquisition Threshold shall increase on a straight line basis to an amount up to $40 million, but in no event greater than $40 million, to the extent Combined Revenue for the then-most recently completed quarterly period as reported by the Company on Form 10-K or Form 10-Q, as applicable, falls between the Combined Revenue for the Company’s fiscal quarter ended on September 30, 2019, and 100% greater than the Combined Revenue for the Company’s fiscal quarter ended on September 30, 2019;

8.5.1.7 repurchase or redeem any shares of capital stock of the Company, except for: (a) the redemption of the Preferred Shares pursuant to Section 5(e) or Section 6 of the Certificate of Designation; or (b) repurchases of Common Shares under agreements previously approved by the Company Board with employees, consultants, advisors or others who performed services for the Company or any direct or indirect subsidiary in connection with the cessation of such employment or service;

Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in Section 8.5 shall restrict the Company’s ability to adopt an at-the-market offering of its Common Shares or other public offering of Common Shares registered with the Commission on Form S-3 for up to $5 million worth of the Common Shares (“Permitted Financings”); provided, however, that Permitted Financings will not include any transaction or series of related transactions pursuant to which the Company issues warrants or any other convertible security without the written consent of Investors representing a majority of the outstanding shares of Preferred Shares.

8.6 Required Proposals and Recommendations to Stockholders.

8.6.1 The Company shall include in its proxy statement for its Next Meeting, a proposal to the Company’s stockholders, in accordance with applicable law and the rules of the Nasdaq Capital Market, to authorize and approve the issuance of all Common Shares issuable upon the conversion of the Series A Shares, including the Series A Shares issuable upon conversion of the Series A-1 Shares at any time and from time to time pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Certificate of Designation (the “Nasdaq Approval”), and a recommendation by the Company Board in favor of the approval of such proposal (providing the highest level of support for the approval of such proposal as the Company Board provides to any other proposal included in such proxy statement).

9.6 Specific Enforcement. The parties acknowledge and agree that (a) the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, specific performance or other equitable relief to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in the courts described in Section 9.5 without proof of damages or otherwise, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled under this Agreement and (b) the right of specific enforcement is an integral part of this Agreement and without that right, neither the Company nor the Investors would have entered into this Agreement.
