(“TCPV,” and together with TCV, TCVA, TCVAQ and TCVP, the “Trident Entities”). TCMV serves as the sole general partner of TCV, TCVA, TCVAQ and TCVP and as the sole investment general partner of TCPV. TCV, TCVA, TCVAQ and TCVP are Delaware limited partnerships whose principal business is investing in various companies. TCPV, whose principal business is also investing in various companies, was organized under the laws of the Netherlands. The principal office of the Trident Entities is located at 505 Hamilton Avenue, Suite 200, Palo Alto, CA 94301.

During the last five years, neither the Trident Entities nor, to the best knowledge of the Trident Entities, any managing director of TCMV, has been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction as a result of which he is or was subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

The Trident Entities purchased (a) an aggregate of 1,269,036 shares (the “Series C Shares”) of Series C Preferred Stock of the Issuer, no stated par value (the “Series C Preferred Stock”) from the Issuer in a private transaction on September 16, 2005 for a total purchase price of $5,000,001.84 and (b) warrants to acquire an aggregate of 375,000 shares of Common Stock for a total purchase price of $46,875.00.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

In addition, depending upon the factors referred to above, the Trident Entities may dispose of all or a portion of their securities of the Issuer at any time. Each of the Trident Entities reserves the right to increase or decrease its or his holdings on such terms and at such times as each may decide.

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer

On December 6, 2003, the Issuer entered into a Common Stock Warrant and Series B Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement (the “2003 Stock Purchase Agreement”) with the Trident Entities. On September 7, 2005, the Issuer entered into a Common Stock Warrant and Series C Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement (the “2005 Stock Purchase Agreement,” and together with the 2003 Stock Purchase Agreement, the “Stock Purchase Agreements”) with the Trident Entities.

Under the 2003 Stock Purchase Agreement, the Trident Entities purchased 1,612,903 shares of Series B Preferred Stock (the “Series B Preferred Stock”) for $4,096,774, or $2.54 per share. The price per share of the Series B Preferred Stock and the conversion price at which the Series B Preferred Stock converts into Common Stock were equal to the “market value” of the Common Stock (as defined in the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market) on the date of execution of the 2003 Stock Purchase Agreement.

Under the 2005 Stock Purchase Agreement, the Trident Entities purchased 1,269,036 shares of Series C Preferred Stock (the “Series C Preferred Stock,” and together with the Series B Preferred Stock, the “Preferred Stock”) for $5,000,001.84, or $3.94 per share. The price per share of the Series C Preferred Stock and the conversion price at which the Series C Preferred Stock converts into Common Stock were equal to the “market value” of the Common Stock (as defined in the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market) on the date of execution of the 2005 Stock Purchase Agreement.

Page 9

Each share of Preferred Stock is convertible into one share of the Company’s Common Stock.

The Series B Preferred Stock pays an annual cumulative dividend of 4% of the original issue price (payable, at the option of the holders, in additional shares of Preferred Stock rather than cash). The Preferred Stock has a non-participating preferred liquidation right equal to the original issue price plus accrued unpaid dividends, with the liquidation rights of the Series B Preferred Stock being senior to those of the Series C Preferred Stock. The Preferred Stock is redeemable by the Issuer, after five (5) years from the original issuance of the respective shares of Preferred Stock, at the original issue price plus accrued unpaid dividends, if the market value of the Common Stock is at least three (3) times the then effective conversion price for a specified period. The Issuer is required to redeem the Preferred Stock in certain events described therein, including default on debt, significant adverse judgments in litigation, bankruptcy, or a Change in Control (as defined in Section 4(D) of the Certificate of Designation pertaining to the Series B Preferred Stock). So long at least 325,000 shares of the Issuer’s Series B Preferred Stock remain outstanding, the holders of Series B Preferred Stock are entitled to vote as a class to elect two (2) members of the Company’s Board of Directors.

Additionally, pursuant to the 2003 Stock Purchase Agreement, the Issuer issued to the Trident Entities 5-year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 451,226 shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock at an exercise price of $3.17 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $56,403, and pursuant to the 2005 Stock Purchase Agreement, the Issuer issued to the Trident Entities 5-year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 375,000 shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock at an exercise price of $3.94 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $46,875. These warrants permit cashless exercise.

The Trident Entities have been advised by the Issuer that the Issuer will use the cash proceeds from the sale of the Series C Shares and the related warrants for working capital and general corporate purposes.

Ancillary agreements include (a) indemnification agreements for the Trident Entities and their representatives on the Board (see below), and (b) a voting agreement between the Trident Entities and each of John Deere Special Technologies Group, Inc. and William P. Flies (each a major shareholder), which includes a right of first refusal. Under the terms of the voting agreement, if the Trident Entities are no longer able to elect two (2) members of the Issuer’s Board of Directors as provided in the Certificate of Designation, so long as the Trident Entities hold at least 800,000 common stock equivalents, the parties to the voting agreement agree to vote all shares of capital stock held by them for the election of designees of the Trident Entities as follows: (i) if the authorized size of the Issuer’s Board of Directors is at least eight members, then the Trident Entities may designate two persons for the election of directors; and (ii) if the authorized size of the Issuer’s Board of Directors is seven or fewer members, then the Trident Entities may designate one person for the election of directors and all parties agree to vote for a second member who is nominated by the Trident entities, acceptable to a majority of the remaining members of the Board of Directors, an industry representative, and not affiliated with the Issuer. The voting agreement also provides that the Issuer will not take any action to increase the authorized number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock or Series C Preferred Stock without the written consent of holders of at least 60% of the Series B Preferred Stock or Series C Preferred Stock, as applicable. Additionally, subject to certain limitations, the voting agreement provides that the Issuer will use its best efforts to cause its Board of Directors to appoint at least one of the Trident Entities’ designees to Board of Directors to each of the committees of the Board of Directors.

Under the Stock Purchase Agreements, the Trident Entities have a right of first refusal on certain issuances of stock of the Company, certain rights to financial information, and certain inspection rights. In addition, pursuant to the 2003 Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company filed a Registration Statement on Form S-3 to register the resale, from time to time, of the Common Stock to be issued pursuant to conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock and exercise of the warrants issued pursuant to the 2003 Stock Purchase Agreement, and a reasonable estimate of any Common Stock to be issued as dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock. Pursuant to the 2005 Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company must file on or before November 6, 2005 a Registration Statement on Form S-3 to register the resale, from time to time, of the Common Stock to be issued pursuant to conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock and exercise of the warrants issued pursuant to the 2005 Stock Purchase Agreement, and a reasonable estimate of any Common Stock to be issued as dividends on the Series C Preferred Stock. Pursuant to the 2005 Stock Purchase Agreement, the Issuer has agreed that it will not, without first obtaining the approval of holders of a majority in interest of the shares held by the Trident Entities as of the date of the 2005 Agreement, (a) enter into transactions with the Issuer’s affiliates except upon terms that are at least as favorable to the Issuer as could be obtained in a transaction with unaffiliated or disinterested parties; (b) create or issue any class or series of stock or other securities convertible into equity securities having any right, preference or privilege senior to or on a parity with the Series B Preferred Stock; (c) adversely change the rights of, or increase the authorized number of shares of, the Series C Preferred Stock; (d) enter into any bankruptcy filing, liquidation, assignment for the benefit of creditors, or similar event; (e) redeem,

Page 10

repurchase, pay or declare dividends or make any distribution on capital stock other than the Series C Preferred Stock; or (f) subject to certain limitations and exceptions, issue or sell, or be deemed to have issued or sold, Common Stock for an effective price less than the fair market value of the Common Stock, unless at the time of the action the Trident Entities and their affiliates hold less than a requisite number of shares of the Company’s capital stock. The Issuer also has agreed to limit, in certain circumstances, the terms of registration rights granted after the date of the 2005 Stock Purchase Agreement. The Issuer further agreed to consult, in good faith, with the Trident Entities on matters relating to termination or selection of the Issuer’s president or chief executive officer. Additionally, pursuant to the 2005 Stock Purchase Agreement, the Issuer agreed to maintain director and officer liability insurance in amount not less than $3,000,000, unless the holders of a majority of the Series C Preferred Stock consent to a lower amount.

XATA CORPORATION

AMENDED AND RESTATED VOTING AGREEMENT

THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED VOTING AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is made as of the 7^th day of September, 2005, by and among XATA CORPORATION, a Minnesota corporation (the “Company”), funds associated with Trident Capital, Inc. (collectively, “Trident”), and those certain holders of the Company’s Common Stock listed on Exhibit A hereto (the “Major Stockholders” and together with Trident, each a “Stockholder” and collectively, the “Stockholders”).

This Agreement amends and restates the Voting Agreement by and among the same parties dated December 6, 2003, and said 2003 Voting Agreement is superseded and replaced by this Agreement.

WITNESSETH

WHEREAS, the Major Stockholders are the beneficial owners of shares of the Common Stock of the Company (the “Major Stockholders Stock”);

WHEREAS, Trident holds shares of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock (the “Series B Preferred Stock”) and related warrants to purchase Common Stock (the “B Warrants”), pursuant to that certain Common Stock Warrant and Series B Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Series B Purchase Agreement”) dated December 6, 2003;

WHEREAS, Trident holds shares of the Company’s Series C Preferred Stock (the “Series C Preferred Stock”) and warrants to purchase Common Stock (the “C Warrants”), pursuant to that certain Common Stock Warrant and Series C Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Series C Purchase Agreement”) of even date herewith;

WHEREAS, the obligations in the Series B Purchase Agreement and the Series C Purchase Agreement are conditioned upon the execution and delivery of a voting agreement in the form of this Agreement; and

WHEREAS, in connection with the consummation of the financings through the Series B Preferred Stock and the Series C Preferred Stock (the “Financings”), the Company and the Stockholders have agreed to provide for the future voting of their shares of the Company’s capital stock as set forth below.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of these premises and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

AGREEMENT

1. VOTING.

1.1 Stockholder Shares. The Stockholders each agree to hold all shares of voting capital stock of the Company (including but not limited to the Major Stockholders Stock, the Series B Preferred Stock, the Series C Preferred Stock, all shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock and all shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise of the B Warrants and C Warrants) registered in their respective names or beneficially owned by them as of the date hereof and any and all other equity securities of the Company legally or beneficially acquired by each of the Stockholders after the date hereof (hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Stockholder Shares”) subject to, and to vote the Stockholder Shares in accordance with, the provisions of this Agreement.

1.2 Election of Directors.

(a) On all matters relating to the election and removal of directors of the Company, if (i) the holders of Series B Preferred Stock of the Company (the “Series B Preferred”) no longer have the right to elect two (2) directors pursuant to Section 8 of the Company’s Certificate of Designation of Preferences of Series B Preferred Stock filed on December 8, 2003, as amended from time to time (the “Certificate of Series B Designation”) but (ii) Trident continues to hold the Required Number of Common Equivalents (as defined below), the Stockholders agree to vote all Stockholder Shares held by them (or the holders thereof shall consent pursuant to an action by written consent of the holders of capital stock of the Company) so as to elect members of the Company’s Board of Directors as follows:

(i) For so long as Trident continues to hold the Required Number of Common Equivalents (as defined below), at each election of or action by written consent to elect directors, the Stockholders shall vote all of their respective Stockholder Shares so as to elect the Trident Designees described in Section 1.2(a)(ii) below. Any vote taken to remove any director elected pursuant to this Section 1.2(a), or to fill any vacancy created by the resignation, removal or death of a director elected pursuant to this Section 1.2(a), shall also be subject to the provisions of this Section 1.2(a). Upon the request of Trident, each Stockholder agrees to vote its Stockholder Shares for the removal of either Trident Designee.

(ii) For the purposes of this Section 1.2, the following definitions shall apply:

(1) “Trident Designees” shall mean (i) if the authorized size of the Company’s Board of Directors is eight (8) members or more, the Trident Designees shall consist of two (2) individuals that are nominated by Trident; or (ii) if the authorized size of the Company’s Board of Directors is seven (7) members or less, the Trident Designees shall consist of (x) one (1) individual nominated by Trident and (y) one (1) individual who is an industry representative not affiliated with the Company that is nominated by Trident and acceptable to a majority of the remaining members of the Board of Directors.

(2) “Required Number of Common Equivalents” shall mean at least 800,000 shares of Common Stock (which shall include (i) any shares of Common Stock issued to Trident or its affiliates, (ii) any shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of any Series B Preferred Stock or Series C Preferred Stock held by Trident or its affiliates or (iii) any shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of warrants to purchase Common Stock held by Trident or its affiliates).

On all matters relating to the election and removal of directors of the Company, if (i) the holders of Series B Preferred are entitled to elect two (2) directors pursuant to Section 8 of the Company’s Certificate of B Designation and (ii) Trident continues to hold the Required Number of Common Equivalents, Trident agrees to vote all Series B Preferred and Series C Preferred held by it (or shall consent pursuant to an action by written consent of the holders of capital stock of the Company) so as to elect the Trident Designees as defined in Section 1.2(a)(ii).

1.3 Protective Voting Covenant.

(a) For so long as any shares of Series B Preferred Stock remain outstanding, the Company shall not take any action to increase the authorized number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock without the written consent of holders of not less than sixty percent (60%) of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock.

(b) For so long as any shares of Series C Preferred Stock remain outstanding, the Company shall not take any action to increase the authorized number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock without the written consent of holders of not less than sixty percent (60%) of the outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock.

2. COMMITTEES. Upon the request of Trident, the Company shall use its best efforts to cause its Board of Directors to appoint at least one Trident Designee (as specified by Trident) to serve as a member of each committee of the Board of Directors, subject to any restrictions on committee membership that may be imposed by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, Nasdaq (or other securities exchange on which the Company’s securities are traded) and the Securities and Exchange Committee, or any similar restriction applicable to the Company.

3. INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENTS. The Company shall enter into an indemnification agreement with each Trident Designee, in the form attached as Exhibit G to the Series B Purchase Agreement.

4. FEES AND EXPENSES. The Company agrees that, for so long as Trident Designees are represented on the Board, the Company shall reimburse such Trident Designees for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in attending meetings of the Board or otherwise acting on behalf of the Company at the request and direction of the Board.

5. TERMINATION.

5.1 This Agreement shall continue in full force and effect from the date hereof through the earliest of the following dates, on which date it shall terminate in its entirety:

(a) December 6, 2013;

(b) the date on which Trident ceases to hold the Required Number of Common Equivalents; or

(c) the date as of which the parties hereto terminate this Agreement by written consent of (i) the Company and (ii) holders of a majority of the shares of capital stock of the Company then held by Trident (on an as-converted into Common Stock basis).

6. TRANSFERS OF MAJOR STOCKHOLDER STOCK.

6.1 Permitted Transfers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, shares of Major Stockholder Stock that (i) are sold by a Major Stockholder in transactions effected on a national securities exchange or through the Nasdaq Stock Market (excluding block trades of 10,000 shares or more to a single purchaser) or (ii) are transferred as bona fide gifts or donations to charitable organizations, (each, a “Permitted Transfer”) in either case, shall be transferred free and clear of any restrictions on voting as described herein. In the case of block trades of 10,000 shares or more to a single purchaser, and all other sales or transfers of Major Stockholder Stock that are not Permitted Transfers (each a “Restricted Transfer”), such transfers shall be permitted to be made free and clear of any restrictions on voting as described herein, provided that such Major Stockholder shall first grant to Trident the right of first refusal set forth in Section 6.2.

6.2 Right of First Refusal. If a Major Stockholder proposes to sell any Major Stockholder Stock in a Restricted Transfer (the “Restricted Transfer Shares”), Trident shall have a right of first refusal to purchase all (but not less than all) of such Restricted Transfer Shares. The Major Stockholder shall give Trident written notice (the “Transfer Notice”) of its intention, describing the Restricted Transfer, the price at which such Major Stockholder is proposing to sell the Restricted Transfer Shares (the “Offer Price”), and the terms and conditions upon which such Major Stockholder proposes to issue the same. Trident shall have seven (7) days from the date of receipt of such Transfer Notice to agree to purchase all (but not less than all) of the Restricted Transfer Shares proposed to be sold, at the Offer Price and upon the other terms and conditions specified in the Transfer Notice by giving written notice to such Major Stockholder. If Trident elects to not exercise its right of first refusal as to such Restricted Transfer Shares, the Major Stockholder may sell the Restricted Transfer Shares to any person or persons at the Sale Price and upon the terms and conditions specified in the Transfer Notice.

7. MISCELLANEOUS.

7.1 Specific Performance. The parties hereto hereby declare that it is impossible to measure in money the damages which will accrue to a party hereto or to their heirs, personal representatives, or assigns by reason of a failure to perform any of the obligations under this Agreement and agree that the terms of this Agreement shall be specifically enforceable. If any party hereto or his heirs, personal representatives, or assigns institutes any action or proceeding to specifically enforce the provisions hereof, any person against whom such action or proceeding is brought hereby waives the claim or defense therein that such party or such personal representative has an adequate remedy at law, and such person shall not offer in any such action or proceeding the claim or defense that such remedy at law exists.

7.2 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed under the laws of the State of Delaware as such laws are applied to agreements among Delaware residents entered into and performed entirely within the State of Delaware, without reference to the conflict of laws provisions thereof. The parties agree that any action brought by either party under or in relation to this Agreement, including without limitation to interpret or enforce any provision of this Agreement, shall be brought in, and each party agrees to and does hereby submit to the jurisdiction and venue of, any state or federal court located in the County of Santa Clara, California.

7.3 Amendment or Waiver. This Agreement may be amended or modified (or provisions of this Agreement waived) only upon the written consent of (i) the Company, (ii) holders of a majority of the shares of capital stock of the Company then held by Trident (on an as-converted into Common Stock basis) and (iii) holders of a majority in interest of the Major Stockholder Shares. Any amendment or waiver so effected shall be binding upon the Company, each of the parties hereto and any assignee of any such party.

7.4 Severability. In the event one or more of the provisions of this Agreement should, for any reason, be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions of this Agreement, and this Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.

7.5 Successors and Assigns. The provisions hereof shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the parties hereto and their respective successors, assigns, heirs, executors and administrators and other legal representatives.

7.6 Additional Shares. In the event that subsequent to the date of this Agreement any shares or other securities are issued on, or in exchange for, any of the Stockholder Shares by reason of any stock dividend, stock split, combination of shares, reclassification or the like, such shares or securities shall be deemed to be Stockholder Shares, as the case may be, for purposes of this Agreement.

7.7 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one instrument.

7.8 Waiver. No waivers of any breach of this Agreement extended by any party hereto to any other party shall be construed as a waiver of any rights or remedies of any other party hereto or with respect to any subsequent breach.

7.9 Delays or Omissions. It is agreed that no delay or omission to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing to any party, upon any breach, default or noncompliance by another party under this Agreement shall impair any such right, power or remedy, nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of any such breach, default or noncompliance, or any acquiescence therein, or of or in any similar breach, default or noncompliance thereafter occurring. It is further agreed that any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind or character on any party’s part of any breach, default or noncompliance under this Agreement or any waiver on such

party’s part of any provisions or conditions of the Agreement must be in writing and shall be effective only to the extent specifically set forth in such writing. All remedies, either under this Agreement by law, or otherwise afforded to any party, shall be cumulative and not alternative.

7.10 Attorney’s Fees. In the event that any suit or action is instituted under or in relation to this Agreement, including without limitation to enforce any provision in this Agreement, the prevailing party in such dispute shall be entitled to recover from the losing party all fees, costs and expenses of enforcing any right of such prevailing party under or with respect to this Agreement, including without limitation, such reasonable fees and expenses of attorneys and accountants, which shall include, without limitation, all fees, costs and expenses of appeals.

7.11 Notices. All notices required in connection with this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed effectively given upon the earlier of actual receipt of: (a) personal delivery to the party to be notified, (b) one business day after the date of confirmed transmission by facsimile, (c) five (5) days after having been sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or (d) one (1) business day after the business day of deposit with a nationally recognized overnight courier, specifying next day delivery, freight prepaid, with written notification of receipt. All communications shall be sent to the address of the holder as specified on the signature page hereto or at such address as such party may designate by ten (10) days advance written notice to the other parties hereto.

7.12 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Exhibits hereto, along with the Series B Purchase Agreement, Series C Purchase Agreement, and the other documents delivered pursuant thereto constitute the full and entire understanding and agreement between the parties with regard to the subjects hereof and thereof and no party shall be liable or bound to any other in any manner by any oral or written representations, warranties, covenants and agreements except as specifically set forth herein and therein. Each party expressly represents and warrants that it is not relying on any oral or written representations, warranties, covenants or agreements outside of this Agreement.

SECTION 9. REGISTRATION OF THE CONVERSION SHARES AND THE WARRANT SHARES; COMPLIANCE WITH THE SECURITIES ACT.

9.1 Registration Procedures. The Company is obligated to do the following:

(a) As soon as is reasonably practicable after the Closing Date, but in no event later than sixty (60) calendar days after the Closing Date (the “Filing Deadline”), the Company shall prepare and file with the SEC one or more registration statements (collectively, the “Registration Statement”) on Form S-3 (unless the Company is not then eligible to register for resale on Form S-3, in which case on another appropriate form) to register with the SEC the resale by the Purchasers, from time to time, of the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares and a reasonable estimate of any Common Stock to be issued as (or issuable upon the conversion or exercise of any Preferred Stock, warrant, right or other security that is issued as) a dividend or other distribution with respect to, or in exchange for or in replacement of, the Conversion Shares or the Warrant Shares (collectively, the “Registrable Securities”) through Nasdaq or the facilities of any national securities exchange on which the Company’s Common Stock is then traded, or in privately negotiated transactions. The Company shall use its best efforts to cause the Registration Statement to be declared effective as soon thereafter as possible, but in any event prior to one hundred eighty (180) days after the Closing Date (the “Effectiveness Deadline”).

(b) If a Registration Statement covering all of the Registrable Securities has not been declared effective by the SEC on or prior to the Effectiveness Deadline, then the Company shall issue an additional Warrant to each Purchaser to purchase shares of Common Stock representing two and one-half percent (2 ½%) of the number of Shares purchased by such Purchaser at the Closing for each aggregated thirty day period (or portion thereof) for which such Registration Statement has not been declared effective; provided, however, that the aggregate number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of additional Warrants issued to a Purchaser under this subsection (b) shall not in the aggregate exceed ten percent (10%) of the number of Shares purchased by such Purchaser at the Closing.

(c) Not less than five (5) trading days prior to the filing of a Registration Statement or any prospectus contained in a Registration Statement (a “Prospectus”) or any amendment or supplement thereto, the Company shall, (i) furnish to the Purchasers for their review copies of all such documents proposed to be filed (including documents incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference), and (ii) notify each Purchaser in writing of the information the Company requires from each such Purchaser to be included in such Registration Statement. The Company will cause its officers and directors, counsel and independent certified public accountants to respond to such inquiries as the Purchasers shall deem reasonably necessary as soon as practicable after having received such inquiries.

(d) The Company shall (i) prepare and file with the SEC (x) such amendments and supplements to each Registration Statement and the Prospectus used in connection therewith, and (y) such other filings required by the SEC, and (ii) take such other actions, in each case as may be necessary to keep the Registration Statement continuously effective and so that such Registration Statement will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and so that such Prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, until the earlier of (A) the sixth (6^th) anniversary of the date of execution of this Agreement, and (B) such time as legal counsel to the Company delivers a legal opinion to the Purchasers, the Company and the Company’s transfer agent stating that all Registrable Securities then held by the Purchasers can be sold without compliance with the registration requirements of the Securities Act pursuant to Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act (the “Effectiveness Period”). The Company shall not, during the Effectiveness Period, voluntarily take any action that would result in the Purchasers not being able to offer and sell Registrable Securities during that period, unless such action is taken by the Company in good faith in compliance with Section 9.2(f) below.

(e) (i) Furnish to the Purchasers with respect to the Registrable Securities registered under the Registration Statement such number of copies of the Registration Statement (including pre-effective and post-effective amendments), Prospectuses (including supplemental prospectuses) and preliminary versions of the Prospectus filed with the SEC (“Preliminary Prospectuses”) in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act and such other documents as the Purchasers may reasonably request, to facilitate the public sale or other disposition of all or any of the Registrable Securities by the Purchasers; and (ii) upon request, inform each Purchaser who so requests that the Company has complied with its obligations in Section 9.1(e)(i) (or that, if the Company has filed a post-effective amendment to the

Registration Statement which has not yet been declared effective, the Company will notify the Purchaser to that effect, will use its reasonable efforts to secure the effectiveness of such post-effective amendment as promptly as reasonably possible and will promptly notify the Purchaser pursuant to Section 9.1(e)(i) hereof when the amendment has become effective).

(f) Notify the Purchasers as promptly as reasonably possible and (if requested by any such Person) confirm such notice in writing no later than one trading day following the day (i) (A) when the SEC notifies the Company whether there will be a review of a Registration Statement and whenever the SEC comments in writing on such Registration Statement (the Company shall provide true and complete copies thereof and all written responses thereto to each of the Purchasers); and (B) with respect to a Registration Statement or any posteffective amendment, when the same has become effective; (ii) of any request by the SEC for amendments or supplements to a Registration Statement or Prospectus or for additional information; (iii) of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement covering any or all of the Registrable Securities or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose; (iv) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; and (v) of the occurrence of any event or passage of time that makes the financial statements included in a Registration Statement ineligible for inclusion therein or any statement made in such Registration Statement or Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference untrue in any material respect or that requires any revisions to such Registration Statement, Prospectus or other documents so that, in the case of a Registration Statement, such Registration Statement will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and so that such Prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(g) File documents required of the Company for normal blue sky clearance in states reasonably specified in writing by the Purchasers prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to qualify to do business or consent to service of process in any jurisdiction in which it is not now so qualified or has not so consented.

(h) Use its best efforts to avoid the issuance of, or, if issued, obtain the withdrawal of (i) any order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement, or (ii) any suspension of the qualification (or exemption therefrom) of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, at the earliest practicable moment.

(i) Cooperate with the Purchasers to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing Registrable Securities to be delivered to any transferee pursuant to any Registration Statement free of any restrictive legends and in such denominations and registered in such names as the Purchasers may reasonably request.

(j) 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(s) of such offering. Each Purchaser participating in such underwriting shall also enter into and perform its obligations under such an agreement.

(k) In the event of any underwritten public offering, use its best efforts to furnish, on the date that such Registrable Securities are delivered to the underwriters for sale, if such securities are being sold through underwriters, (i) an opinion, dated as of such date, of the counsel representing the Company for the purposes of such registration, in form and substance as is customarily given to underwriters in an underwritten public offering, addressed to the underwriters, if any, and (ii) a letter, dated as of such date, from the independent certified public accountants of the Company, in form and substance as is customarily given by independent certified public accountants to underwriters in an underwritten public offering addressed to the underwriters.

(l) Cause all such Registrable Securities registered pursuant hereto to be listed on Nasdaq, if the Common Stock is then listed on Nasdaq, and each other securities exchange on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed.

(m) The Company understands that each of the Purchasers disclaims being an underwriter, but any Purchasers being deemed an underwriter by the SEC shall not relieve the Company of any obligations it has hereunder.

9.2 Transfer of Shares After Registration; Suspension; Damages.

(a) Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly, agrees (i) that it will not sell, offer to sell, solicit offers to buy, dispose of, loan, pledge or grant any right with respect to the Registrable Securities or otherwise take an action that would constitute a sale within the meaning of the Securities Act, other than transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, except as contemplated in the Registration Statement referred to in Section 9.1 and as described below, (ii) that it shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to complete the registration pursuant to this Agreement with respect to the Registrable Securities of a particular Purchaser that such Purchaser shall furnish to the Company such information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it and the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Securities held by it as shall be required to effect the registration of such Registrable Securities and as requested by the Company, (iii) that it shall execute such documents in connection with such registration, that are customary for resale registration statements, as the Company may reasonably request, (iv) to cooperate with the Company as reasonably requested by the Company in connection with the preparation and filing of any Registration Statement hereunder, unless such Purchaser has notified the Company in writing of such Purchasers election to exclude all of such Purchasers Registrable Securities from such Registration Statement and (v) that it will promptly notify the Company of any changes in the information set forth in the Registration Statement regarding the Purchaser or its plan of distribution.

(b) Subject to paragraph (c) below, in the event: (i) of any request by the SEC or any other federal or state governmental authority during the period of effectiveness of the

Registration Statement for amendments or supplements to a Registration Statement or related Prospectus or for additional information; (ii) of the issuance by the SEC or any other federal or state governmental authority of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose; (iii) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation of any proceeding for such purpose; or (iv) of any event or circumstance which necessitates the making of any changes in the Registration Statement or Prospectus, or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, so that, in the case of the Registration Statement, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or any omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and that in the case of the Prospectus, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or any omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; then the Company shall promptly deliver a certificate in writing to each Purchaser (a “Suspension Notice”) to the effect of the foregoing and, upon receipt of such Suspension Notice, the Purchaser will refrain from selling any Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement (a “Suspension”) until the Purchasers receipt of copies of a supplemented or amended Prospectus prepared and filed by the Company, or until it is advised in writing by the Company that the current Prospectus may be used, and has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference in any such Prospectus.

(c) In the event of any Suspension, the Company shall cause the use of the Prospectus so suspended to be resumed as soon as practicable but in any event within thirty (30) days after delivery of the Suspension Notice to Purchasers; provided, however, that Purchasers shall not be prohibited from selling Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement as a result of Suspensions on more than three occasions of not more than thirty (30) days each and not more than ninety (90) days in the aggregate in any twelve month period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company ceases to be eligible to register the Registrable Securities on Form S-3 and resolution of any Suspension requires the Company to file a post-effective amendment on Form S-1, (i) the Company will use its best efforts to cause the use of the Prospectus so suspended to be resumed as soon as reasonably practicable but in any event within ninety (90) days after delivery of a Suspension Notice to Purchasers, and (ii) the Purchasers shall not be prohibited from selling Registrable Securities under the amended Registration Statement on Form S-1 as a result of Suspensions on or after the date that the Company ceases to be eligible to register the Registrable Securities on Form S-3 on more than three occasions of not more than thirty (30) days each and not more than ninety (90) days in the aggregate in any twelve month period. In addition to and without limiting any other remedies (including, without limitation, at law or at equity) available to the Purchaser, the Purchaser shall be entitled to specific performance in the event that the Company fails to comply with the provisions of this Section 9.2(c).

(d) Provided that a Suspension in accordance with paragraphs (b) and (c) of this Section 9.2 is not then in effect, a Purchaser may sell Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement, provided that it arranges for delivery of a current Prospectus to the transferee of such Registrable Securities. Upon receipt of a request therefor, the Company will provide an adequate number of current Prospectuses to the Purchaser and to any other parties requiring such Prospectuses.

(e) If a Registration Statement ceases to be effective as to, or ceases to be available to the Purchasers with respect to, all Registrable Securities pursuant to subsections (b) or (c) of Section 9.2 for any reason prior to the expiration of the Effectiveness Period (any such event, a “Registration Default”), then the Company shall issue additional Warrants to each Purchaser to purchase shares of Common Stock representing two and one-half percent (2 ½%) of the number of Shares purchased by each such Purchaser at the Closing for each aggregated thirty day period (or portion thereof) for which a Registration Default had continued; provided however, that the aggregate number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of Warrants issued to a Purchaser under this subsection (e) shall not in the aggregate exceed ten percent (10%) of the number of Shares purchased by such Purchaser at the Closing.

9.3 Expenses of Registration. Except as specifically provided herein, all expenses incurred by the Company in complying with Section 9 hereof, including, all registration and filing fees, printing expenses, fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, reasonable fees and expenses of one counsel to the Purchasers (which shall be in addition to any fees pursuant to Section 16.8 but which shall not exceed $40,000), blue sky fees and expenses, fees and the expense of any special audits incident to or required by any such registration (but excluding the compensation of regular employees of the Company which shall be paid in any event by the Company) (collectively, the “Registration Expenses”) shall be borne by the Company. All underwriting discounts and selling commissions applicable to a sale incurred in connection with any registrations hereunder shall be borne by the holders of the securities so registered pro rata on the basis of the number of shares so sold.

9.4 Delay of Registration; Furnishing Information. The Purchasers shall furnish to the Company such information regarding themselves, the Registrable Securities held by them and the intended method of disposition of such securities as shall be required to effect the registration of their Registrable Securities. Furthermore, each Purchaser, severally and not jointly, agrees to promptly notify the Company of any changes in the information set forth in a registration statement regarding such Purchaser or its plan of distribution set forth in such registration statement.

9.5 Indemnification. In the event any Registrable Securities are included in a registration statement under this Section 9.

(a) The Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Purchaser, the partners, officers and directors of each Purchaser, any underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act) for such Purchaser and each person, if any, who controls such Purchaser 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 otherwise, 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 a Registration Statement, including any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or any amendments or supplements thereto, (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 in connection with the offering covered by such Registration Statement; and the Company will pay as incurred to each such Purchaser, partner, officer, director, underwriter or controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 9.5 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, unless such settlement (x) includes an unconditional release of the Company from all liability on any claims that are the subject matter of such action, and (y) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of the Company; provided, further, that the Company shall not be liable in any such case for any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action to the extent that it arises out of or is based upon a Violation which (i) occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished expressly for inclusion in such Registration Statement, prospectus, amendment or supplement by such Purchaser, partner, officer, director, underwriter or controlling person of such Purchaser or (ii) based upon a claim that a Preliminary Prospectus contained an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, if such person was not sent or given a copy of the Prospectus (or the Prospectus as amended or supplemented) at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of such Registrable Securities to such person and the untrue statement contained in or omission from such Preliminary Prospectus was corrected in the final Prospectus (or the Prospectus as amended or supplemented) unless such failure is the result of noncompliance by the Company of Section 9.1(b) or (e) hereof; provided, further, that this indemnification agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have to the Purchasers.

(b) Each Purchaser will, if Registrable Securities held by such Purchaser are included in the securities as to which such Registration Statement, prospectus, amendment or supplement is being filed, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, its officers and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act or Exchange Act, any underwriter and any other Purchaser selling securities under such registration statement or any of such other Purchaser’s partners, directors or officers or any person who controls such Purchaser, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (joint or several) to which the Company or any such director, officer, controlling person, underwriter or other such Purchaser, or partner, director, officer or controlling person of such other Purchaser may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, 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 (i) in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by such Purchaser specifically for use in connection with such Registration Statement, prospectus, amendment or supplement or (ii) as a result of such Purchaser’s failure to deliver a Prospectus or Prospectus supplement as contemplated by the Securities Act prior to the pertinent sale of shares by such Purchaser; and each such Purchaser will pay as incurred any legal or other

expenses reasonably incurred by the Company or any such director, officer, controlling person, underwriter or other person registering shares under such registration, or partner, officer, director or controlling person of such other person registering shares under such Registration Statement in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if it is judicially determined that there was such a Violation; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 9.5 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 Purchaser, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, unless such settlement (x) includes an unconditional release of such Purchaser from all liability on any claims that are the subject matter of such action, and (y) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of such Purchaser; provided, further, that in no event shall any indemnity or contribution under this Section 9.5 exceed in the aggregate the dollar amount of the net proceeds to be received by such Purchaser from the sale of such Purchasers Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement.

(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 9.5 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 9.5, 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 reasonably satisfactory to the parties; provided, however, that an indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if representation of such indemnified party by the counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential 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 shall not relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the indemnified party under this Section 9.5, unless and to the extent that such failure is materially prejudicial to the indemnifying party’s ability to defend such action, 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 9.5.

(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 9.5 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to herein, the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, shall to the extent permitted by applicable law contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the indemnifying party or parties on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other from the sale of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement, or (ii) if such allocation is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits but also the relative fault of the indemnifying party or parties on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other in connection with the Violation(s) that resulted in such loss, claim, damage or liability, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be determined by a court of law 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 statement or omission; provided, that in no event shall any indemnification or contribution by a Purchaser under this Section 9.5 exceed in the aggregate the dollar amount of the net proceeds to be received by such Purchaser from the sale of such Purchasers Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement.

(e) The obligations of the Company and the Purchasers under this Section 9.5 shall survive completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in a Registration Statement and the termination of this Agreement.

9.6 Agreement to Furnish Information.

(a) In connection with an underwritten registration in which such Purchaser is participating, each Purchaser agrees to execute and deliver such other agreements as may be reasonably requested by the Company or the underwriter. In addition, if requested by the Company or the representative of the underwriters of Common Stock (or other securities) of the Company, each Purchaser shall provide such information related to such Purchaser as may be required by the Company or such representative in connection with the completion of any public offering of the Companys securities pursuant to a registration statement filed under the Securities Act.

9.7 Assignment of Registration Rights. The rights to cause the Company to register Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 9 may be assigned (but only with the related obligations) by a Purchaser, provided (i) each transfer to each transferee or designee involves either (X) all Registrable Securities held by such Purchaser, (Y) not less than twenty-five thousand (25,000) shares of Preferred Stock, or (Z) an affiliate or a current or former partner or member of such Purchaser or any affiliate, (ii) the Company is, within a reasonable time after such transfer, furnished with written notice of the name and address of such transferee or assignee, (iii) such transferee or assignee agrees in writing to assume the obligations of this Section 9 and (iv) such assignment shall be effective only if immediately following such transfer the further disposition of such shares by the transferee or assignee is restricted under the Securities Act (for purposes of this statement, if the transferee, together with all affiliated persons is able to sell all of the Restricted Securities held by such transferee pursuant to Rule 144(k) then further disposition will not be deemed to be restricted under the Securities Act).

9.8 Rule 144 Reporting. With a view to making available to the Purchasers the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the SEC which may permit the sale of the Registrable Securities to the public without registration, the Company agrees to use its best efforts to:

(a) Make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in SEC Rule 144 or any similar or analogous rule promulgated under the Securities Act;

(b) Keep the Registration Statement effective at all times;

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

(d) So long as a Purchaser owns any Registrable Securities, furnish to such Purchaser forthwith upon request: a written statement by the Company as to its compliance with the reporting requirements of said Rule 144 of the Securities Act, and of the 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 as a Purchaser may reasonably request in availing itself of any rule or regulation of the SEC allowing it to sell any such securities without registration.

9.9 S-3 Eligibility. The Company will use its best efforts to meet the requirements for the use of Form S-3 for registration of the resale by the Purchasers of the Registrable Securities. The Company will use its best efforts to file all reports required to be filed by the Company with the SEC in a timely manner and take all other necessary action so as to maintain such eligibility for the use of Form S-3.

9.10 Termination of Registration Rights. Subject to the rights of transferees under Section 9.7 hereof, the Company’s obligations pursuant to this Section 9 shall terminate with respect to each Purchaser severally upon the earlier of (A) the date that such Purchaser has completed the distribution related to such Purchaser’s Registrable Securities, (B) the sixth (6^th) anniversary of the date of execution of this Agreement, and (C) such time as legal counsel to the Company delivers a legal opinion to the Purchasers stating that all Registrable Securities then held by the Purchasers can be sold without compliance with the registration requirements of the Securities Act pursuant to Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act (but only for so long as the shares may be so sold). Following a termination of the Company’s obligations pursuant to the preceding sentence with respect to a Purchaser, any Securities held by such Purchaser shall not be deemed to be Registrable Securities thereafter, and the obligations of such Purchaser pursuant to this Section 9 shall also terminate.

9.11 Amendment of Registration Rights. Provisions of this Section 9 may be amended and the observance thereof may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively), only with the written consent of the Company and Purchasers who then hold not less than a majority of the Registrable Securities. Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this Section 9.11 shall be binding upon each Purchaser and the Company. No such amendment shall be effective to the extent that it applies to less than all of the holders of the Registrable Securities.

9.12 Legends. Each certificate representing Shares shall (unless such Shares are then eligible for transfer pursuant to Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act or as otherwise permitted under applicable law or the provisions of the Agreement) be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend substantially similar to the following (in addition to any legend required under applicable state securities laws or as provided elsewhere in this Agreement):

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 (THE “ACT”) AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED UNLESS AND UNTIL REGISTERED UNDER THE ACT OR, IN THE OPINION OF COUNSEL OR BASED ON OTHER WRITTEN EVIDENCE IN THE FORM AND SUBSTANCE SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER OF THESE SECURITIES, SUCH OFFER, SALE OR TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR HYPOTHECATION IS IN COMPLIANCE THEREWITH.

Nothing in this Section 9.12 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall be deemed to restrict the ability of the holder of any Securities to transfer any such Securities to an affiliate, partner or former partner of such holder in compliance with the Securities Act, nor shall any legal opinion be required in connection therewith.

SECTION 10. RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL.

10.1 Subsequent Offerings. Each Purchaser shall have a right of first refusal to purchase its pro rata share of all Equity Securities, as defined below, that the Company may, from time to time, propose to sell and issue after the date of this Agreement, other than the Equity Securities excluded by Section 10.4 hereof. Each Purchaser’s pro rata share is equal to the ratio of (a) the number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock (including all shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock or issuable or upon the exercise of any outstanding warrants or options) which such Purchaser is deemed to be a holder immediately prior to the issuance of such Equity Securities to (b) the total number of shares of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock (including all shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock or issuable or upon the exercise of any outstanding warrants or options) immediately prior to the issuance of the Equity Securities. The term “Equity Securities” shall mean (i) any Common Stock, Preferred Stock or other security of the Company, (ii) any security convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for, with or without consideration, any Common Stock, Preferred Stock or other security (including any option to purchase such a convertible security), (iii) any security carrying any warrant or right to subscribe to or purchase any Common Stock, Preferred Stock or other security or (iv) any such warrant or right.

10.2 Exercise of Rights. If the Company proposes to issue any Equity Securities in a public offering or a private placement, the Company shall give each Purchaser written notice of its intention, describing the Equity Securities, the price and the terms and conditions upon which the Company proposes to issue the same. Each Purchaser shall have twenty (20) days from the giving of such notice to agree to purchase its pro rata share of the Equity Securities for the price and upon the terms and conditions specified in the notice by giving written notice to the Company and stating therein the quantity of Equity Securities to be purchased. Such exercise of rights may be made contingent upon a minimum number of shares being purchased in such transaction.

10.3 Transfer of Rights of First Refusal. The rights of first refusal of each Purchaser under this Section 10 may be transferred to the same parties, subject to the same restrictions as any transfer of registration rights pursuant to Section 9.7.

10.4 Excluded Securities. The rights of first refusal established by this Section 10 shall have no application to any of the following Equity Securities:

(a) shares of Common Stock and/or options, warrants or other Common Stock purchase rights and the Common Stock issued pursuant to such options, warrants or other rights issued or to be issued after the date of execution of this Agreement to employees, officers or directors of, or consultants or advisors to the Company or any subsidiary, pursuant to stock purchase or stock option plans or other arrangements that are approved by the Board of Directors;

(b) stock issued or issuable pursuant to any rights or agreements, options, warrants or convertible securities outstanding as of the date of this Agreement;

(c) any Equity Securities issued for consideration other than cash pursuant to a merger, consolidation, acquisition or similar business combination;

(d) any Equity Securities issued in connection with any stock split, stock dividend or recapitalization by the Company; and

(e) Any Equity Securities issued by the Company pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

10.5 Termination of Rights of First Refusal. The rights of first refusal of the Purchasers under this Section 10 shall terminate on the date the Purchasers and their affiliates hold an aggregate number of number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock and/or Common Stock of the Company that are less than twenty-five percent (25%) of the aggregate number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock and Common Stock held by the Purchasers as of immediately following the Closing (in each such case calculated on an as-converted to Common Stock basis).

SECTION 11. SPECIAL VOTING RIGHTS

11.1 Special Voting Rights. For so long as the Purchasers and their affiliates continue to hold an aggregate number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock and/or Common Stock of the Company equal to or greater than thirty percent (30%) of the aggregate number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock and/or Common Stock of the Company held by the Purchasers as of immediately following the Closing (in each such case calculated on an as-converted to Common Stock basis) (the “Purchaser Shares”), the Company shall not, without first obtaining the approval of holders of a majority in interest of the Purchaser Shares:

(a) enter into a transaction with an affiliated or interested party except upon terms not less favorable to the Company than it could obtain in a comparable arm’s length transaction with a unaffiliated or disinterested third party;

(b) create (by new authorization, reclassification, recapitalization, designation or otherwise) or issue any class or series of stock or any other securities convertible into equity securities of the Company having any right, preference or privilege senior to or on parity with the Series B Preferred Stock with respect to voting, dividends, redemption or liquidation preference;

(c) alter or change the rights, preferences or privileges of the shares of Series C Preferred Stock (whether by merger, recapitalization or otherwise) so as to affect adversely such shares, or increase the authorized number of shares of the Series C Preferred Stock;

(d) enter into any bankruptcy filing, liquidation, assignment for the benefit of creditors or similar event of the Company or any significant subsidiary;

(e) make any redemption, repurchase, payment or declaration of any dividend or distribution on any shares of capital stock of the Company other than the Series C Preferred Stock; or

(f) issue or sell, or is deemed to have issued or sold, Common Stock for an Effective Price (as defined below) less than the then current Fair Market Value (as defined below) of the Company’s Common Stock.

(i) For the purposes of this section (f), the “Fair Market Value” of the Company’s Common Stock shall mean:

(1) If the Company’s Common Stock is traded on a securities exchange (which shall include the Nasdaq Stock Market), the value shall be deemed to be the average of the closing prices of the Common Stock on such exchange over the thirty (30) day period ending on the date prior to the closing of the sale and issuance of the shares of Common Stock;

(2) If Corporation’s Common Stock is traded over-the-counter, the value shall be deemed to be the average of the closing bid or sale prices (whichever are applicable) over the thirty (30) day period ending on the date prior to the closing of the sale and issuance of the Equity Securities; and

(3) If there is no public market for the Company’s Common Stock, the value shall be the fair market value thereof, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company.

(ii) For the purposes of this section (f), if the Company issues or sells (x) Preferred Stock or other stock, options, warrants, purchase rights or other securities convertible into shares of Common Stock (such convertible stock or securities being herein referred to as “Convertible Securities”) or (y) rights or options for the purchase of Common Stock or Convertible Securities and if the Effective Price (as defined below) of such shares of Common Stock is less than the then-current Fair Market Value, in each case the Company shall be deemed to have issued at the time of the issuance of such rights or options or Convertible Securities the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise or conversion thereof and to have received as consideration for the issuance of such shares an amount equal to the total amount of the consideration, if any, received by the Company for the issuance of such rights or options or Convertible Securities.

(iii) For the purposes of this paragraph (f) the “Effective Price” of the Common Stock shall mean the quotient determined by dividing the total number of shares of Common Stock issued or sold, or deemed to have been issued or sold by the Company under this

paragraph (f), into the Aggregate Consideration received, or deemed to have been received by the Company for such issue under this section, for such shares of Common Stock. In the event that the number of shares of Common Stock or the Effective Price cannot be ascertained at the time of issuance, such shares of Common Stock shall be deemed to have an Effective Price below the then-current Fair Market Value. The “Aggregate Consideration” received by the Company for any issue or sale of securities shall be defined as: (A) to the extent it consists of cash, be computed at the gross amount of cash received by the Company before deduction of any underwriting or similar commissions, compensation or concessions paid or allowed by the Company in connection with such issue or sale and without deduction of any expenses payable by the Company, (B) to the extent it consists of property other than cash, be computed at the fair value of that property as determined in good faith by the Board, and (C) if shares of Common Stock, Convertible Securities (as defined below) or rights or options to purchase either shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities are issued or sold together with other stock or securities or other assets of the Company for a consideration which covers both, be computed as the portion of the consideration so received that may be reasonably determined in good faith by the Board to be allocable to such shares of Common Stock, Convertible Securities or rights or options.

(iv) The provisions of section (f) shall not apply to issuances of:

(A) shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock or Series C Preferred Stock or exercise of the Warrants issued in connection with the original issuance of Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock;

(B) shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities issued to employees, officers or directors of, or consultants or advisors to the Company or any subsidiary pursuant to stock purchase or stock option plans or other arrangements that are approved by the Board provided that, (i) such options were granted with an exercise price equal to or greater than the then-current fair market value (as “fair market value” is defined in the relevant plan) or (ii) such shares were issued pursuant to a IRC 423 plan with an exercise price equal to or greater than 85% of the then-current fair market value (as such “fair market value” is defined in the relevant plan);

(C) shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to the exercise of Convertible Securities outstanding as of the date of filing of this Certificate of Designation (including without limitation the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock); and

(D) shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities issued for consideration other than cash pursuant to a merger, consolidation, acquisition, strategic alliance or similar business combination approved by the Board.

SECTION 12. COMPANY COVENANTS.

12.1 Reservation of Shares and Common Stock. The Company will at all times reserve and keep available a sufficient number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock to issue as dividends pursuant to the provisions of Section 3 of the Certificate of Designation, and shall

reserve and keep available a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock, solely for issuance and delivery upon the conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock and upon exercise of the Warrants issuable from time to time upon such conversion or exercise.

12.2 Subsequent Registration Rights. In the event of a Change in Control transaction (as such term is defined in Section 4(D) of the Certificate of Designation) involving issuance of an acquiror’s securities (the “Acquisition Securities”) and if such Change in Control transaction provides for the registration of the Acquisition Securities, the Company shall specifically provide in such Change of Control transaction agreements that the Acquisition Securities issued or issuable to the Purchasers shall be included in any such registration of the Acquisition Securities.

12.3 Termination and Election of President or Chief Executive Officer. Prior to any termination of the employment of the Company’s President and/or Chief Executive Officer or any selection of a new President and/or Chief Executive Officer, the Company agrees to consult, in good faith, with Trident Capital on matters relating to such termination or the selection of the Company’s next President and/or Chief Executive Officer.

12.4 Director and Officer Insurance. The Company shall maintain in full force and effect director and officer liability insurance in the amount of $5,000,000, or such other amount as the Board of Directors determines to be appropriate in light of relevant facts and circumstances, provided however, that the amount of such insurance coverage shall not be changed to an amount less than $3,000,000 unless the holders of a majority of the Series C Preferred then outstanding approve such change. The Company shall notify Trident Capital at least thirty (30) days in advance of any termination of such insurance coverage.
