EMPLOYER INCORPORATION) IDENTIFICATION NO.) 1250 BROADWAY, NEW YORK, NEW YORK, 10001 (ADDRESS OF PRINCIPAL EXECUTIVE OFFICES) REGISTRANT'S TELEPHONE NUMBER, INCLUDING AREA CODE (212) 231-7100 ITEM 5 OTHER EVENTS On July 2, 2002, 24/7 Real Media, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("24/7", or the "Company"), entered into a Series A and Series A-1 Preferred Stock and Common Stock Warrant Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with Sunra Capital Holdings Limited ("Sunra"), a newly formed investment fund advised by Merchant's Group International. Sunra purchased $1.6 million of 24/7's newly created Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series A Preferred Stock"), $3.4 million of its newly created Series A-1 Non Voting Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series A-1 Preferred Stock"), and may, at its option, purchase up to an additional $2 million of the Series A Preferred Stock (the "Option"). All then-outstanding shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock will automatically be converted into shares of Series A Preferred Stock upon the approval of the Company's stockholders of such conversion (the "Conversion"), and will not otherwise be convertible into Series A Preferred Stock or any other class of capital stock of the Company. The Series A-1 Preferred Stock will be redeemable in full at the option of Sunra in the event the stockholders reject the Conversion or fail to approve the Conversion by October 15, 2002, or if the Company's Board of Directors withdraws its recommendation that the stockholders approve the Conversion. To secure its potential obligation to redeem the Series A-1 Preferred Stock, the Company has placed $3.6 million into escrow, which will be released either to the Company if and when stockholder approval for the Conversion is obtained or to Sunra when it redeems its Series A-1 Preferred Stock. The Series A Preferred Stock is not redeemable. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock is convertible into common stock of the Company (the "Common Stock") at any time at the option of the holder thereof at a conversion price of $0.20535 per share of Common Stock (the "Per Share Purchase Price"). There will be no change to the conversion ratio of the Series A Preferred Stock based upon the future trading price of the Common Stock. The conversion ratio of the Series A Preferred Stock is subject to adjustment in the event of certain future issuances of Company equity at an effective per share purchase price lower than the Per Share Purchase Price. The Company has also issued three warrants to Sunra to purchase shares of Common Stock at an exercise price per share equal to the Per Share Purchase Price, of which (i) one warrant entitles Sunra to purchase up to approximately 780,000 shares of Common Stock and is immediately exercisable; (ii) another warrant entitles Sunra to purchase up to approximately 1.66 million additional shares of Common Stock and only becomes exercisable upon the effective date of the Conversion; and (iii) a final warrant entitles Sunra to purchase up to approximately 1.0 million additional shares of Common Stock and only becomes exercisable in the event Sunra becomes entitled to redeem its Series A-1 Preferred Stock. Each such warrant will remain exercisable until the fifth anniversary of the date on which the warrant first became exercisable. All warrants issued pursuant to this transaction may be exercised through a cashless exercise. If the Option is exercised in full, then Sunra will become the beneficial owner of approximately 37,897,000 shares of Common Stock, or approximately 42.7% of the Company's outstanding common stock. The closing of the Option is contingent upon prior stockholder approval. At any time after the second anniversary of the earlier of the conversion or redemption of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock, each share of outstanding Series A Preferred Stock will automatically convert into the applicable number of shares of Common Stock if the Common Stock is then traded and the average per share closing price of the Common Stock on the Nasdaq National Market or the Nasdaq Smallcap Market, or similar quotation system or a national securities exchange, is greater than three (3) times the Per Share Purchase Price over a sixty (60) trading day period, the average daily trading volume of the Common Stock over such period is at least 200,000 shares and certain other conditions are satisfied. The Series A and Series A-1 Preferred Stock will accrue and cumulate dividends at a rate of 6% per year, compounded monthly, payable when, as and if declared by the Company's Board of Directors. All accrued dividends must be paid before any dividends may be declared or paid on the Common Stock, and shall be paid as an increase in the liquidation preference of the Series A and Series A-1 Preferred Stock payable upon the sale, merger, liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company. In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, if the holders of Common Stock would receive consideration per share equal to less than three (3) times the Per Share Purchase Price (assuming for this purpose the prior conversion in full of all Series A and Series A-1 Preferred Stock into the applicable number of shares of Common Stock), then the holders of the Series A and Series A-1 Preferred Stock are entitled to a liquidation preference payment per share equal to the Per Share Purchase Price, plus any dividends accrued but unpaid as of such date. After payment of the foregoing preference, the holder of each share of Series A and Series A-1 Preferred Stock would then also participate with the holders of the Common Stock in the distribution of the proceeds from such a liquidation event to the holders of the Common Stock. A merger, consolidation or sale of the Company will be treated as a liquidation event unless such transaction has been approved by the holders of a majority of the outstanding Series A Preferred Stock. Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock generally will vote together with the holders of shares of Common Stock, with each share of Series A Preferred Stock representing that number of votes equal to that number of shares of Common Stock into which it is then convertible. However, the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock will be entitled to a separate class vote with respect to certain matters, including the creation of a class or series of stock having preferences or privileges senior to or on a parity with the Series A Preferred Stock and any amendment or waiver of any provision of the Company's Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws that would adversely affect the rights, privileges and preferences of the Series A Preferred Stock. Additionally, at any time prior to the second anniversary of the redemption or conversion of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock, holders of the Series A Preferred Stock will be entitled to a separate class vote with respect to a proposed merger, consolidation, or sale of the Company, unless, at the time of the signing of a definitive agreement or taking of such other action necessary to effect such a transaction, the fair market value of one share of Common Stock is greater than three times the Per Share Purchase Price. Additionally, pursuant to the right of the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock to designate a member to the Company's board of directors, Joseph Waechter, President of Sunra and a director of Merchant's Group International, joined the Company's Board of Directors upon the completion of this sale of Series A and Series A-1 Preferred Stock. Upon the Conversion, Sunra will have the right to designate a second director. Merchant's Group International acted as a "finder" for this transaction. The Company has paid or will pay Merchant's Group the following compensation: (i) a warrant to purchase 400,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price equal to the Per Share Purchase Price that is immediately exercisable for a five-year term beginning on the date it was issued and (ii) $280,000 in cash, of which $64,000 was paid at the closing of this transaction, $136,000 will become payable upon the effective date of the Conversion, and $80,000 will become payable if the Option is fully exercised. The parties also entered into a Registration Rights Agreement pursuant to which the Company is obligated to file a registration statement covering the resale of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock and upon exercise of all warrants issued to Sunra and Merchant's Group International in connection with this transaction, and has also granted piggyback registration rights to the holders of such shares, on a pari passu basis with existing registration rights holders, to participate in certain registered offerings of the Company's securities. The Company expects to seek approval of the Conversion at its Annual Meeting of Stockholders, expected to be held in the third quarter. The Company also agreed with Sunra that it would submit for stockholder approval certain proposals to authorize a reverse split of the Common Stock, to become effective at such future time and in such proportion as the Board of Directors may decide. The Certificate of Designation filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware relating to the Series A Preferred Stock and the Series A and Series A-1 Preferred Stock and Common Stock Warrant Purchase Agreement, a related warrant and the Investor Rights Agreement entered into with Sunra are filed as exhibits hereto and are hereby incorporated by reference. The foregoing description of the transaction is only a summary and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the aforementioned transaction documents. The Company intends to use the proceeds for general corporate purposes. ITEM 7.

The holders of the then outstanding Series A-1 Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the Board, out of any funds and assets of the Corporation legally available therefor, cumulative dividends at the annual Dividend Rate for the Series A-1 Preferred Stock, prior and in preference to the payment of any dividend or other Distribution on the Common Stock (other than a Common Stock Dividend). Such dividends shall begin accruing on each share of Series A-1 Preferred Stock on the first Dividend Accrual Date occurring after the date on which such share of Series A Preferred Stock is issued by the Corporation, and shall accrue on each subsequent Dividend Accrual Date thereafter until paid, whether or not earned or declared. No accumulation of dividends on the Series A-1 Preferred Stock shall compound or bear any interest. Unless the full amount of any accrued and unpaid dividends accrued on the Series A-1 Preferred Stock shall have been paid or declared in full and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof reserved and set apart, no dividend (other than a Common Stock Dividend) shall be paid or declared, and no Distribution shall be made, on any Common Stock; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that this restriction shall not apply to Permitted Repurchases. Payments of any accrued dividends to the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock and the Series A-1 Preferred Stock shall be made pro rata, on an equal priority, pari passu basis. 2.2 PARTICIPATION RIGHTS. In the event that the Corporation shall declare a dividend or other Distribution on the Common Stock out of funds legally available therefor (other than a Common Stock Dividend), then the holders of the then outstanding Series A-1 Preferred Stock shall be entitled to a proportionate share of any such dividend or other Distribution as though each holder of such Series A-1 Preferred Stock was the holder of the greatest whole number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock issuable upon conversion pursuant to Section 5 of all the Series A-1 Preferred Stock held by such holder, in each case as of the record date fixed for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive such dividend or other Distribution, assuming for this purpose that the Automatic Conversion Date is such record date. 2.3 NON-CASH DIVIDENDS. Whenever a dividend provided for in this Section 2 shall be payable in property other than cash, the value of such dividend shall be deemed to be the fair market value of such property as determined in good faith by the Board, provided that dividends payable in securities (other than Common Stock Dividends, dividends declared and paid on the Series A Preferred Stock that are payable in shares of Series A Preferred Stock, and dividends declared and paid on the Series A-1 Preferred Stock that are payable in shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock) shall be valued in the manner set forth in Sections 3.4(a) and (b) hereof. 3 3. LIQUIDATION RIGHTS. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, the funds and assets that may be legally distributed to the Corporation's stockholders (the "AVAILABLE FUNDS AND ASSETS") shall be distributed to stockholders in the following manner: 3.1 LIQUIDATION PREFERENCE. The holders of each share of Series A-1 Preferred Stock then outstanding shall be entitled to be paid, out of the Available Funds and Assets, and prior and in preference to any payment or distribution (or any setting apart of any payment or distribution) of any Available Funds and Assets on any shares of Common Stock, an amount per share equal to the Original Issue Price for the Series A-1 Preferred Stock plus all accrued but unpaid dividends on the Series A-1 Preferred Stock. The Series A-1 Preferred Stock shall rank on parity with the Series A Preferred Stock with respect to the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation. If upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the Available Funds and Assets shall be insufficient to permit the payment to holders of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock and the Series A Preferred Stock of their full preferential amounts, then all of the Available Funds and Assets shall be distributed among the holders of the then outstanding Series A-1 Preferred Stock and the Series A Preferred Stock pro rata, on an equal priority, pari passu basis, according to their respective liquidation preferences. 3.2 PARTICIPATION RIGHTS. If there are any Available Funds and Assets remaining after the payment or distribution (or the setting aside for payment or distribution) to the holders of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock and Series A Preferred Stock of their full liquidation preference amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.1 above for the Series A-1 Preferred Stock, and pursuant to Section 3.1 of the Series A Designation for the Series A Preferred Stock, in connection with a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, then all such remaining Available Funds and Assets shall be distributed among the holders of the then outstanding Common Stock, Series A Preferred Stock and Series A-1 Preferred Stock pro rata according to the number of shares of Common Stock held by such holders, where, for this purpose: (a) each holder of outstanding Series A-1 Preferred Stock will be deemed to hold (in lieu of their Series A-1 Preferred Stock), the greatest whole number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock issuable upon conversion pursuant to Section 5 of all the Series A-1 Preferred Stock held by such holder, in each case as of the record date fixed for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive such distribution, and assuming for this purpose that the Automatic Conversion Date is such record date, and (b) each holder of outstanding Series A Preferred Stock will be deemed to hold (in lieu of their Series A Preferred Stock), the greatest whole number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of such holder's Series A Preferred Stock, as of the record date fixed for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive such distribution; UNTIL SUCH TIME AS: (x) in the case of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock, each holder of then outstanding Series A-1 Preferred Stock shall have received, in distributions made in connection with such liquidation, dissolution or winding up, an aggregate amount per share of Series A-1 Preferred Stock held equal to three (3) times the Original Issue Price for the Series A-1 Preferred Stock (such aggregate dollar amount to include all amounts previously paid to such holder pursuant to the liquidation preference of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock including without limitation any dividends paid thereon), and (y) in the case of the Series A Preferred Stock, each holder of then outstanding Series A Preferred Stock shall have received, in distributions made in connection with such liquidation, dissolution or winding up, an aggregate amount per share of Series A 4 Preferred Stock held equal to three (3) times the Original Issue Price for the Series A Preferred Stock (such aggregate dollar amount to include all amounts previously paid to such holder pursuant to the liquidation preference of the Series A Preferred Stock including without limitation any dividends paid thereon); AFTER WHICH TIME the holders of then outstanding Common Stock shall be entitled to receive all the remaining Available Funds and Assets (if any) pro rata according to the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock then held by each of them. 3.3 MERGER OR SALE OF ASSETS. Each of the following transactions shall be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation as those terms are used in this Section 3 (and in the case of a transaction described in Section 3.3(a) below, the Available Funds and Assets shall be the consideration paid by the acquiror in such transaction): (a) a Combination Transaction in which the Corporation is a constituent corporation if, as a result of such Combination Transaction, the voting securities of the Corporation that are outstanding immediately prior to the consummation of such Combination Transaction (OTHER THAN any such securities that are held by an Acquiring Stockholder) do not represent, or are not converted into, securities of the surviving corporation of such Combination Transaction (or such surviving corporation's parent corporation if the surviving corporation is owned by the parent corporation) that, immediately after the consummation of such Combination Transaction, together possess at least a majority of the total voting power of all securities of such surviving corporation (or its parent corporation, if applicable) that are outstanding immediately after the consummation of such Combination Transaction, including securities of such surviving corporation (or its parent corporation, if applicable) that are held by the Acquiring Stockholder; or (b) a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation (each of the foregoing transactions, a "SALE TRANSACTION"). The Corporation shall not enter into any Sale Transaction that does not provide for the treatment of the holders of Series A-1 Preferred Stock in a manner consistent with the provisions of this Section 3. In the event that the requirements of the immediately preceding sentence are not complied with in connection with a Sale Transaction, the Corporation shall forthwith either: (x) cause the closing of Sale Transaction to be postponed until such time as such requirements have been complied with, or (y) cancel such Sale Transaction, in which event the rights, preferences and privileges of the holders of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock shall revert to and be the same as such rights, preferrences and privileges existing immediately prior to the latest date on which the notice referred to in Section 3.5 below with respect to such Sale Transaction could be given in compliance with the provisions of such Section 3.5. 3.4 NON-CASH CONSIDERATION. If any assets of the Corporation distributed to stockholders in connection with any liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Corporation are other than cash, then the value of such assets shall be their fair market value as determined in good faith by the Board, EXCEPT THAT any securities to be distributed to stockholders in a liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Corporation shall be valued as follows: (a) The method of valuation of securities not subject to investment letter or other similar restrictions on free marketability shall be as follows: (i) unless otherwise specified in a definitive agreement for the acquisition of the Corporation, if the securities are then traded on a national securities exchange, 5 the Nasdaq National Market or the Nasdaq SmallCap Market (or a similar national quotation system), then the value shall be deemed to be the average of the closing prices of the securities on such exchange or system over the twenty (20) trading day period ending three (3) trading days prior to the distribution; and (ii) if (i) above does not apply but the securities are actively traded over-the-counter, then, unless otherwise specified in a definitive agreement for the acquisition of the Corporation, the value shall be deemed to be the average of the closing bid prices over the twenty (20) trading day period ending three (3) trading days prior to the distribution; and (iii) if there is no active public market as described in clauses (i) or (ii) above, then the value shall be the fair market value thereof, as determined in good faith by the Board. (b) The method of valuation of securities subject to investment letter or other restrictions on free marketability (other than restrictions arising solely by virtue of a stockholder's status as an affiliate or former affiliate) shall be to make an appropriate discount from the market value determined as above in subparagraphs (a)(i),(ii) or (iii) of this subsection to reflect the approximate fair market value thereof, as determined in good faith by the Board. (c) Any determination in good faith by the Board pursuant to this Section 3.4 shall be conclusive and final and shall be binding on the Corporation and all stockholders thereof. 3.5 NOTICE. Written notice of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation within the meaning of this Section 3, stating the nature of such liquidation, dissolution or winding up, and specifying the anticipated effective date of such liquidation, dissolution or winding up, shall be given in the manner specified in Section 5.10 hereof at least twenty (20) days prior to, and no more than sixty (60) days prior to, the effective date of such liquidation, dissolution or winding up. 4. VOTING RIGHTS. 4.1 NO VOTING RIGHTS. Except as otherwise provided by law and as provided in Section 4.2 below, holders of Series A-1 Preferred Stock shall have no voting rights. 4.2 PROTECTIVE PROVISIONS. The Corporation shall not, without the approval, by vote or written consent, of the holders of a majority of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock then outstanding, voting as a separate class: (a) amend its Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws in any manner that would alter or change the rights, preferences, privileges or restrictions of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock so as to adversely affect any of the rights, preferences, privileges or restrictions of such series of Preferred Stock, or (b) increase or decrease (other than pursuant to Section 7.1 below) the total number of authorized shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock. 5. CONVERSION. The outstanding shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock shall be convertible into Series A Preferred Stock as follows: 6 5.1 AUTOMATIC CONVERSION. (a) At the close of business on the date: (i) of any meeting of the holders of the Common Stock at which a quorum shall be present and at which a majority of the shares of Common Stock voting shall have voted (in person or by proxy) in favor of a proposal to approve the issuance of the Conversion Shares upon conversion of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock, or (ii) that such other action shall have been taken by the stockholders of the Corporation as shall have satisfied the stockholder approval requirements of Nasdaq with respect to the issuance of the Conversion Shares upon conversion of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock, in either case prior to the Corporation's receipt of a Redemption Request (as defined in Section 6.1 below) delivered in accordance with Section 6.1, each then outstanding share of Series A-1 Preferred Stock shall be automatically converted into fully paid and nonassessable shares of Series A Preferred Stock effective as of the date such stockholder approval is obtained (the "AUTOMATIC CONVERSION DATE"), as provided herein (such conversion, the "AUTOMATIC CONVERSION"). (b) Upon an Automatic Conversion in accordance with Section 5.1(a), and effective as of the close of business on the Automatic Conversion Date, the outstanding shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock shall be converted into Series A Preferred Stock automatically without the need for any further action by the holders of such shares and whether or not the certificates representing such shares are surrendered to the Corporation or its transfer agent; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Corporation shall not be obligated to issue certificates evidencing the shares of Series A Preferred Stock issuable upon such conversion unless the certificates evidencing such shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock are either delivered to the Corporation or its transfer agent as provided below, or the holder notifies the Corporation or its transfer agent that such certificates have been lost, stolen or destroyed and executes an agreement satisfactory to the Corporation and/or its transfer agent to indemnify the Corporation and/or its transfer agent from any loss incurred by it in connection with such certificates. Upon the occurrence of such Automatic Conversion of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock: (i) the Corporation shall deliver written notice of such Automatic Conversion in the manner specified in Section 5.10 hereof promptly after the Automatic Conversion Date to each holder of Series A-1 Preferred Stock that was converted into Series A Preferred Stock in the Automatic Conversion, and (ii) the holders of Series A-1 Preferred Stock shall surrender the certificates representing such shares at the office of any transfer agent for the Series A-1 Preferred Stock or Series A Preferred Stock. Thereupon, there shall be issued and delivered to such holder promptly at such office and in its name as shown on such surrendered certificate or certificates, a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock into which the shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock surrendered were convertible on the Automatic Conversion Date. 5.2 CONVERSION PRICE. Each share of Series A-1 Preferred Stock shall be convertible in accordance with Section 5.1 above into the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock which results from dividing the Original Issue Price for the Series A-1 Preferred Stock by the conversion price for the Series A-1 Preferred Stock that is in effect at the time of conversion (the "CONVERSION PRICE"). The initial Conversion Price for the Series A-1 Preferred Stock shall be the Original Issue Price for the Series A-1 Preferred Stock. The Conversion Price of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as provided below. 7 Following each adjustment of the Conversion Price, such adjusted Conversion Price shall remain in effect until a further adjustment of such Conversion Price hereunder. 5.3 ADJUSTMENT UPON SERIES A PREFERRED STOCK EVENT. Upon the happening of a Series A Preferred Stock Event, the Conversion Price of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock shall, simultaneously with the happening of such Series A Preferred Stock Event, be adjusted by multiplying the Conversion Price of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock in effect immediately prior to such Series A Preferred Stock Event by a fraction, (i) the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to such Series A Preferred Stock Event, and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued and outstanding immediately after such Series A Preferred Stock Event, and the product so obtained shall thereafter be the Conversion Price for the Series A-1 Preferred Stock. The Conversion Price for the Series A-1 Preferred Stock shall be readjusted in the same manner upon the happening of each subsequent Series A Preferred Stock Event. 5.4 ADJUSTMENTS FOR OTHER DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS. If at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date for the Series A-1 Preferred Stock the Corporation pays a dividend or makes another distribution to the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock payable in securities of the Corporation, other than an event constituting a Series A Preferred Stock Event, then in each such event provision shall be made so that the holders of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock shall receive upon conversion thereof, in addition to the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock receivable upon conversion thereof, the amount of securities of the Corporation which they would have received had their Series A-1 Preferred Stock been converted into Series A Preferred Stock on the date of such event (or such record date, as applicable) and had they thereafter, during the period from the date of such event (or such record date, as applicable) to and including the conversion date, retained such securities receivable by them as aforesaid during such period, subject to all other adjustments called for during such period under this Section 5 with respect to the rights of the holders of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock or with respect to such other securities by their terms. 5.5 ADJUSTMENT FOR RECLASSIFICATION, EXCHANGE AND SUBSTITUTION.

In any such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Section 5 with respect to the rights of the holders of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock after the reorganization, merger or consolidation to the end that the provisions of this Section 5 (including adjustment of the Conversion Price then in effect and number of shares issuable upon conversion of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock) shall be applicable after that event and be as nearly equivalent to the provisions hereof as may be practicable. This Section 5.6 shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations, mergers and consolidations. 5.7 CERTIFICATE OF ADJUSTMENT.

All current and former employees and consultants of the Company and its Subsidiaries that have or are reasonably expected to contribute to the development of the products or technology of the Company and/or its Subsidiaries are parties to a written confidentiality and invention and proprietary rights assignment agreement substantially in the form previously delivered to counsel for the Purchasers, except where the Company's failure to obtain such agreements, in any single case or in the aggregate, should not be reasonably expected to adversely affect the assets, properties, financial condition, operating results or business of the Company. To the Company's knowledge, none of the current or former employees of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is, or is alleged to be, in material violation of any employment agreement, non-competition agreement, invention or proprietary information disclosure agreement, or other contract or agreement to which any of them is a party which violation or alleged violation relates to their 9 relationship to the Company, its Subsidiaries, their businesses or operations, or is in material violation of the Confidentiality and Inventions Agreement with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to which such employee is a party. None of the employees of the Company or its Subsidiaries, to the Company's knowledge, has taken, removed or made use of any material proprietary documentation, manuals, products, materials, or any other tangible item from his or her previous employer, and the Company and its Subsidiaries has not and will not make use of any such material proprietary items in the business of the Company.

The practices of the Company and its Subsidiaries regarding the collection and use of personal customer information are and have been in all material respects in accordance with such privacy policies and with all applicable laws, rules or regulations. The use of the current products and services of the Company and its Subsidiaries by customers for the intended purposes of such products and services, as described in the Company SEC Reports and in the product documentation of the Company and its Subsidiaries, does not violate any laws, rules or regulations regarding the collection, use or disclosure of personal information in any material respect. 2.10 GOVERNMENTAL PERMITS. The Company and its Subsidiaries have all governmental permits, operating authority, licenses, franchises, certificates, consents, rights and privileges as are necessary to the operation of their businesses as currently conducted, the absence of which would reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Effect (collectively, "PERMITS").

The execution, delivery and performance of the Financing Agreements and the Escrow Agreement by the Company, and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, the performance by the Company of its obligations under the Certificates of Designation, and the 10 issuance of the Securities have not and will not (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both): (a) conflict with or violate, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any material agreement, mortgage, indenture or instrument (including, without limitation, any stock option, employee stock purchase or similar plan or any employment or similar agreement) to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party (including, without limitation, triggering the application of any change of control or similar provision (whether "single trigger" or "double trigger")); (b) violate any provision of the certificates of incorporation or bylaws of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; (c) result in the creation of any material mortgage, pledge, lien, encumbrance or charge upon any of the properties or assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or result in the suspension, revocation, impairment, forfeiture or non-renewal of any material Permit applicable to the operations or assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; or (d) result in a violation by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree (including federal and state securities laws and regulations and the rules and regulations of NASDAQ).

The Company has obtained and maintains in full force and effect fire, casualty, directors' and officers' liability and other and liability insurance policies with recognized insurers with such coverages as are customary for companies in businesses similarly situated. The Company has not been refused any insurance coverage sought or applied for and has no reason to believe that it will not be able to renew its existing insurance coverage as and when such coverage expires or to obtain similar coverage from similar insurers as may be necessary to continue its business at a cost that is not materially in excess of current levels. 2.15 MATERIAL CONTRACTS AND OBLIGATIONS. (a) Except for the contracts and agreements filed as exhibits to the Company SEC Reports, Schedule 2.15(a) of the Disclosure Letter contains a complete list of all contracts to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries are a party, or to which any of their respective assets or properties are subject, in each case which are, or would reasonably be expected to become, significant or material to the business, assets, liabilities, condition (financial or otherwise) or results of operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole. (b) There are no existing, pending or, to the actual knowledge of any directors or executive officers of the Company, threatened claims for indemnification with respect to infringement or misappropriation (or alleged or potential infringement or misappropriation) of intellectual property rights under any material agreements, understandings, instruments, contracts, proposed transactions, judgments, orders, writs or decrees to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is bound, except for claims arising after December 31, 2001 that have been settled, satisfied or otherwise resolved in full prior to the date hereof. (c) Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries, nor, to the Company's knowledge, is any other party in default under or material violation of any contract listed on Schedule 2.15(a) of the Disclosure Letter or referenced in Section 2.15(a) to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party. 2.16 TAX RETURNS AND PAYMENTS.

SECTION 3. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE PURCHASERS. Each Purchaser hereby represents and warrants to the Company, as of the date of the Agreement and as of the Closing and the Additional Closing, but only with respect to such Purchaser, as follows: 3.1 AUTHORIZATION. All action on the part of such Purchaser necessary for the authorization, execution, delivery and performance by Purchaser of the Financing Agreements has been taken, and the Financing Agreements, when executed and delivered by the Purchaser, will constitute valid and binding obligations of Purchaser, enforceable in accordance with their terms, except as may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws of general application affecting the enforcement of creditor's rights. 3.2 INVESTMENT. Purchaser (i) is acquiring the Series A Closing Shares, the Series A-1 Purchased Shares, the Additional Closing Shares (if any) and the Warrants, (ii) upon conversion of the Series A Closing Shares and the Additional Closing Shares (if any), will acquire the Conversion Stock then issuable upon conversion thereof. (iii) upon conversion of the Series A-1 Purchased Shares, will acquire the Series A-1 Conversion Stock then issuable upon conversion thereof and (iv) upon exercise of the Warrants, will acquire the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise thereof (each of the foregoing securities to be acquired by the Purchaser hereunder, or upon conversion or exercise of securities acquired hereunder, are collectively referred as the "SECURITIES"), for its own account and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, the public sale or distribution thereof, except pursuant to sales registered or exempted under the Securities Act. Purchaser understands that the Securities to be purchased by Purchaser have not been and will not be (except as contemplated by the Investors' Rights Agreement) registered under the Securities Act by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent as expressed herein. 16 3.3 EXPERIENCE; ACCREDITED INVESTOR. Purchaser has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that Purchaser is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in the Securities and protecting its own interests in connection with such investment. Purchaser is an "accredited investor" within the meaning of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act. 3.4 RULE 144. Purchaser acknowledges that the Securities are restricted securities within the meaning of applicable securities laws, have not been registered under the Securities Act, and must be held indefinitely unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act and applicable state and other securities laws or unless an exemption from such registration is available. Purchaser is aware of the provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act that permit limited resale of shares purchased in a private placement subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. The Securities will bear a legend reflecting these conditions on transferability thereof. 3.5 INFORMATION. Purchaser believes Purchaser has had an opportunity to discuss the Company's business, management and financial affairs with the Company's management and an opportunity to review the Company's facilities. Purchaser represents and acknowledges that it believes it has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Company's officers, employees and directors regarding the terms and conditions of the offering of the Securities. Purchaser has sought such advice as Purchaser has considered necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to its acquisition of the Securities. The foregoing, however, does not limit or modify any Purchaser's rights under this Agreement including, without limitation, the representations and warranties of the Company in this Agreement or the right of the Purchasers to rely thereon. 3.6 FURTHER LIMITATIONS ON DISPOSITIONS. Without in any way limiting the representations set forth above, Purchaser further agrees that, if at the time of any transfer of any Securities, such Securities shall not be registered under the Securities Act, prior to any disposition of all or any portion of the Securities, the Company may require, as a condition of allowing such transfer, that the holder or transferee furnish to the Company (i) such information as is appropriate to establish that such transfer may be made without registration under the Securities Act; and (ii) at the expense of the holder or transferee, an opinion by legal counsel designated by such holder or transferee and reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Company, to the effect that such transfer may be made without registration under the Securities Act. No such opinion of the Counsel shall be necessary for any transfer to any person or entity that is deemed to be an "affiliate" of the Purchaser for purposes of the Securities Act, if the transferee agrees in writing to be subject to the terms hereof to the same extent as if the transferee were an original Purchaser hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with the prior written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, the Securities may be pledged in connection with a bona fide margin account or other loan secured by the Securities and such pledge of Securities shall not be deemed to be a transfer, sale or assignment of the Securities hereunder, and no Purchaser effecting a pledge of Securities shall be required to provide the Company with any notice thereof or otherwise make any delivery to the Company pursuant to this Agreement or any other agreement arising hereunder; provided that in order to make any sale, transfer or assignment of Securities, such Purchaser and its pledgee must make 17 such disposition in accordance with or pursuant to a registration statement or an exemption under the Securities Act. 3.7 RESIDENCE.

EXERCISE. 2.1 METHOD OF EXERCISE. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Warrant, the Holder may exercise this Warrant in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time on any business day after the Series A-1 Conversion Date and on or before the close of business on the Expiration Date, by delivery at the principal offices of the Company of: (i) the notice of exercise in the form attached hereto as EXHIBIT 1 (the "EXERCISE NOTICE") duly executed by the Holder, (ii) payment in the form indicated on the Exercise Notice either by Net Exercise or by delivery of an amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying the number of shares of Warrant Stock to be purchased by the Holder as reflected in the Exercise Notice by the then-effective Warrant Price as determined in accordance with the terms hereof, and (iii) this Warrant (or an indemnification undertaking, in form and substance satisfactory to the Company, with respect to this Warrant in the case of its loss, theft or destruction) (the "EXERCISE DELIVERY DOCUMENTS"). 2.2 FORM OF PAYMENT. Payment may be made by (i) a check payable to the Company's order, (ii) wire transfer of funds to the Company, (iii) cancellation of indebtedness of the Company to the Holder, (iv) Net Exercise, or (v) any combination of the foregoing. 2.3 PARTIAL EXERCISE.

No fractional shares may be issued upon any exercise of this Warrant, and any fractions shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares. If upon any exercise of this Warrant a fraction of a share results, the Company will pay the cash value of any such fractional share, calculated on the basis of the then-effective Warrant Price. 2.5 RESTRICTIONS ON EXERCISE. This Warrant may not be exercised if the issuance of the Warrant Stock upon such exercise would constitute a violation of any applicable federal or state securities laws or other laws or regulations. As a condition to the exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall execute the Notice of Exercise, confirming and acknowledging that the representations and warranties of the Holder set forth in Section 3 of the Purchase Agreement are true and correct as of the date of exercise. 2.6 NET ISSUE ELECTION. The Holder may elect to convert this Warrant or any portion thereof, without the payment by the Holder of any additional consideration, into shares of Warrant Stock, by delivery of the Exercise Notice duly executed by the Holder with the net issue election selected, at the principal offices of the Company. Thereupon, the Company will issue to the Holder such number of shares of Warrant Stock as is computed using the following formula: X = Y (A-B) ------- A where: X = the number of shares to be issued to the Holder pursuant to this Section 2.6; Y = the number of shares covered by this Warrant in respect of which the net issue election is made pursuant to this Section 2.6; A = the Fair Market Value (as defined below) of one share of Warrant Stock at the time the net issue election is made pursuant to this Section 2.6; and B = the Warrant Price in effect at the time the net issue election is made pursuant to this Section 2.6. If the above calculation results in a negative number, then no Warrant Stock shall be issued or issuable at the time the net issue election is made pursuant to this Section 2.6. As used herein, "FAIR MARKET VALUE" of a share of Warrant Stock shall mean: (i) if the Warrant Stock is traded on a securities exchange or the Nasdaq National Market or Nasdaq Smallcap Market or if it is actively traded over-the-counter, the average daily closing price of the Common Stock for the 10 consecutive trading days through and including the date prior to the date the Exercise Notice is delivered for Net Exercise; and (ii) in all other cases, the fair value as mutually determined in good faith by the Company and the Holder. 3. ISSUANCE OF STOCK. This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised immediately prior to the close of business on the date of delivery of the Exercise Delivery Documents as provided above, and the person entitled to receive the shares of Warrant Stock issuable upon such exercise shall be treated for all purposes as the holder of record of such shares as of the close of business on such date. In the event of any exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant, the Company shall promptly following the date of its receipt of the Exercise Delivery Documents: (i) in the case of a public resale of such Warrant Stock, at the holder's request, credit such aggregate number of shares of Warrant Stock to which the holder shall be entitled to the holder's or its designee's balance account with the Depositary Trust Company ("DTC") through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system, or (ii) issue and deliver to the address as specified in the Exercise Notice, a certificate or certificates in such denominations as may be requested by the holder in the Exercise Notice, registered in the name of the holder or its designee, for the number of shares of Warrant Stock to which the holder shall be entitled upon such exercise. Upon delivery of the Exercise Delivery Documents, the Holder of this Warrant shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Stock with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of the date of delivery of the certificates evidencing such Warrant Stock. 4. SALE, MERGER, CONSOLIDATION OR LIQUIDATION OF THE COMPANY. 4.1 ASSUMPTION OF WARRANT. Upon the closing of any Acquisition where the consideration for the Acquisition to be received by the Company's stockholders consists solely of stock or securities of the acquirer or an entity affiliated with the acquirer: (i) the successor entity shall assume the obligations of this Warrant, (ii) this Warrant shall be exercisable for the same securities as would be payable for the Shares issuable upon exercise of the unexercised portion of this Warrant as if such Shares were outstanding on the record date for the Acquisition and subsequent closing thereof, and (iii) the Warrant Price shall be adjusted accordingly; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that this Section 4.1 shall not apply to an Acquisition in which each holder of a share of the Company's Common Stock, Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and/or Series A-1 Nonvoting Convertible Preferred Stock (a "COMPANY SHARE") will receive for each such outstanding Company Share then held by such holder a number of shares or securities listed or admitted to trading on the New York Stock Exchange, or other principal national stock exchange, or the Nasdaq National Market, with an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to an amount per Company Share (determined on an as converted to common stock basis) that is at least equal to the product obtained by multiplying the then applicable Warrant Price by three (3). 4.2 TERMINATION OF WARRANT. In the case of (a) the closing of an Acquisition which is not subject to Section 4.1 or (b) the proposed liquidation and dissolution of the Company, the Company shall give Holder the Company Notice (as defined in Section 10 below), which notice shall also include, for purposes of this Section 4.2, the Company's best estimate of the aggregate consideration receivable by stockholders of the Company and the anticipated or proposed date upon which such event is expected to occur. During the period from Holder's receipt of such Company Notice to 5:00 p.m. Pacific time on the day prior to the date such event is expected to occur as set forth in such Company Notice (the "LIQUIDATION DATE"), Holder may exercise or convert this Warrant in accordance with its terms, whether or not exercise or conversion is contingent upon the happening of such event and/or existence of a minimum value of the Shares receivable upon exercise or conversion as provided on Holder's Exercise Notice; PROVIDED THAT such minimum value shall be no greater than the per share price set forth in such Company Notice. Subject to prior exercise or conversion as provided in the preceding sentence and provided that (a) the Company Notice of the proposed event is actually received by Holder, as evidenced by a return receipt of certified mail delivery, a certificate of delivery by hand delivery or written verification of delivery from the overnight courier, and (b) the event actually occurs within thirty (30) days after the date it is expected to occur, as such date was specified in the Company Notice, this Warrant will terminate on the Liquidation Date. 4.3 AUTOMATIC EXERCISE OF WARRANT. Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary, in the event this Warrant is not assumed pursuant to Section 4.1, if the Holder does not notify the Company of the Holder's intent to exercise or not to exercise this Warrant prior to the Liquidation Date, and the Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock on the Liquidation Date is greater than the Exercise Price, then the Holder shall be deemed to have net exercised this Warrant immediately prior to the Liquidation Date pursuant to the terms set forth in Section 2.6 above. The Holder shall upon written notification by the Company within thirty (30) days thereafter surrender this Warrant at the principal office of the Company together with a properly endorsed Exercise Notice, whereupon the Company shall issue to the Holder a number of shares of Common Stock computed using the formula set forth in Section 2.6 above. 5. ADJUSTMENT PROVISIONS. The number and character of shares of Warrant Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (or any shares of stock or other securities or property at the time receivable or issuable upon exercise of this Warrant) and the Warrant Price therefor, are subject to adjustment solely upon the occurrence of the following events: 5.1 ADJUSTMENT FOR STOCK SPLITS, STOCK DIVIDENDS, ETC. The Warrant Price of this Warrant and the number of shares of Warrant Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall each be proportionally adjusted to reflect any stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, combination of shares or other similar event affecting the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock (or such other stock or securities) that occurs after the date of this Warrant. 5.2 ADJUSTMENT FOR OTHER DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS. In case the Company shall make or issue, or shall fix a record date for the determination of eligible holders entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable respect to the Common Stock that is payable in securities of the Company (other than issuances with respect to which adjustment is made under Section 5.1), then, and in each such case, the Holder, upon exercise of this Warrant at any time after the consummation, effective date or record date of such event, shall receive, in addition to the shares of Warrant Stock issuable upon such exercise prior to such date, the securities or such other assets of the Company to which the Holder would have been entitled upon such date if the Holder had exercised this Warrant immediately prior thereto (all subject to further adjustment as provided in this Warrant). 5.3 RECLASSIFICATION, EXCHANGE OR SUBSTITUTION. Upon any reclassification, exchange, substitution, or other event that results in a change of the number and/or class of the securities issuable upon exercise or conversion of this Warrant (other than an Acquisition described in Section 4 above or a stock dividend, split, etc. described in Sections 5.1 and 5.2 above), Holder shall be entitled to receive, upon exercise or conversion of this Warrant, the number and kind of securities and property that Holder would have received for the Shares if this Warrant had been exercised immediately before such reclassification, exchange, substitution or other event. The Company or its successor shall promptly issue to Holder a new Warrant for such new securities or other property. The new Warrant shall provide for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Section 5.3 including, without limitation, appropriate adjustments to the Warrant Price and to the number of securities or amount of property issuable upon exercise or conversion of the new Warrant. 5.4 NOTICE OF ADJUSTMENTS. The Company shall promptly give written notice to the Holder of each adjustment or readjustment of the Warrant Price or the number of shares of Warrant Stock or other securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. The notice shall be signed by the Company's Chief Financial Officer and shall describe the adjustment or readjustment and show in reasonable detail the facts on which the adjustment or readjustment is based. 5.5 NO CHANGE NECESSARY. The form of this Warrant need not be changed because of any adjustment in the Warrant Price or in the number of shares of Warrant Stock issuable upon its exercise. 5.6 RESERVATION OF STOCK. If at any time the number of shares of Common Stock or other securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall not be sufficient to effect the exercise of this Warrant, the Company will take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock or other securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant as shall be sufficient for such purpose. 6. REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS. The Company hereby represents, warrants, covenants and agrees as follows: 6.1 ISSUANCE OF WARRANTS AND WARRANT STOCK.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if this Warrant is lost by, stolen from or destroyed by the original holder hereof, the affidavit of such original holder setting forth the circumstances of such loss, theft or destruction shall be accepted as satisfactory evidence thereof, and no indemnification bond or other security shall be required by the Company as a condition to the execution and delivery by the Company of a new Warrant to such original holder other than such original holder's unsecured written agreement to indemnify the Company solely for losses actually incurred by the Company as a direct consequence of the loss, theft or destruction of the Warrant. 11.2 NO RIGHTS OR LIABILITIES AS STOCKHOLDER. This Warrant does not by itself entitle the Holder to any voting rights or other rights as a stockholder of the Company.

The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to have the Shelf Registration declared effective by the SEC as promptly as practicable; PROVIDED, that in the event the Company receives notice from the SEC that the Shelf Registration will not be subject to SEC review, the Company shall have the S-3 Registration Statement declared effective as soon as possible following receipt of such notice from the SEC; PROVIDED, FURTHER, that in the event the Shelf Registration is reviewed by the SEC, the Company shall work diligently to resolve any SEC comments in favor of the Company as soon as possible and, following receipt of notice from the SEC that all such comments are resolved, will have the Shelf Registration declared effective as soon as possible thereafter; and PROVIDED, FURTHER, that in no event shall the Shelf Registration be declared effective later than the date that any other registration statement filed by the Company after the Effective Date is declared effective (other than any registration statement relating to any Company employee benefit plan or any registration statement filed by the Company on Form S-4 that is not reviewed by the SEC). The Company shall leave the Shelf Registration in effect until the earlier of: (A) the date on which all Registrable Securities shall either (i) have been registered under the Securities Act and been disposed of, or (ii) be, in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Company that has been delivered to the applicable Holders, saleable in a three (3) month period by the current Holders thereof without registration under the Securities Act pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act; or (B) the date three (3) years from the date on which the Shelf Registration is declared effective by the SEC (the "SHELF TERMINATION DATE").

If (i) the Company fails to file the Shelf Registration with the SEC covering the resale of all Registrable Securities on or before the thirtieth (30th) day after the Stockholder Approval Date, (ii) the Shelf Registration is not declared effective by the SEC on or before the date that is 270 days after the Stockholder Approval Date, or (iii) on any day prior to the Shelf Termination Date and after the Shelf Registration has been declared effective by the SEC, sales of the Registrable Securities required to be included on such Shelf Registration cannot be made (other than during a Permitted Suspension, as defined below) pursuant to the Shelf Registration (including, without limitation, because of a failure to keep the Shelf Registration effective, to disclose such information as is necessary for sales to be made pursuant to the Shelf Registration or to register sufficient shares of Common Stock for resale under the Registration Statement); THEN, as partial relief for the harm to any Holder by reason of any such delay in or reduction of its ability to sell the underlying shares of Common Stock (which remedy shall not be exclusive of any other remedies available at law or in equity), the Company shall pay to the Holders on a pro rata basis relative to the number of Registrable Securities held by each Holder (on an as-converted and as-exercised into Common Stock basis without regard to current exercisability or convertability) an aggregate 4 amount in cash equal to twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000) per month for each month in which the Shelf Registration is not filed, effective or available for sale, as the case may be, payable on the last business day of each such month, provided that such amount shall be increased to fifty thousand dollars ($50,000) upon the fourth full succeeding month, and for each full succeeding month thereafter, in which the Shelf Registration is not filed, effective or available for sale, as the case may be. (c) EXPENSES. The Company shall pay all expenses incurred in connection with the S-3 Registration Statement required pursuant to this Section 2.2, including without limitation all filing, registration and qualification, printers' and accounting fees and counsel for the Company (other than commissions or other amounts payable to brokers in connection with the sale of Registrable Securities by Holders pursuant to the Shelf Registration and the fees and disbursements of any one or more legal counsels to the Holders). 2.3 PIGGYBACK REGISTRATIONS. (a) NOTICE OF COMPANY REGISTRATION. The Company shall notify all Holders of Registrable Securities in writing at least thirty (30) days prior to filing any registration statement under the Securities Act for purposes of effecting a public offering of securities of the Company (including, but not limited to, registration statements relating to secondary offerings of securities of the Company, but EXCLUDING the Shelf Registration and any registration statements relating to any employee benefit plan or a corporate reorganization or other transaction covered by Rule 145 promulgated under the Securities Act, or a registration on any registration form which does not permit secondary sales or does not include substantially the same information as would be required to be included in a registration statement covering the resale of Registrable Securities) and will afford each such Holder an opportunity to include in such registration statement all or any part of the Registrable Securities then held by such Holder. Each Holder desiring to include in any such registration statement all or any part of the Registrable Securities held by such Holder shall, within twenty (20) days after receipt of the above-described notice from the Company, so notify the Company in writing, and in such notice shall inform the Company of the number of Registrable Securities such Holder wishes to include in such registration statement. If a Holder decides not to include all of its Registrable Securities in any registration statement thereafter filed by the Company, such Holder shall nevertheless continue to have the right to include any Registrable Securities in any subsequent registration statement or registration statements as may be filed by the Company with respect to offerings of its securities, all upon the terms and conditions set forth herein. The Company shall have no obligation to include any Registrable Securities of a Holder in a registration statement under this Section 2.3 if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Company delivered to such Holder, all such Registrable Securities proposed to be sold by such Holder may be sold in a three (3) month period without registration under the Securities Act pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act. (b) UNDERWRITING. If a registration statement under which the Company gives notice under this Section 2.3 is for an underwritten offering, then the Company shall so advise the Holders of Registrable Securities in such notice. In such event, the right of any such Holder's Registrable Securities to be included in a registration pursuant to this Section 2.3 shall be conditioned upon such Holder's participation in such underwriting and the 5 inclusion of such Holder's Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided herein. All Holders proposing to distribute their Registrable Securities through such underwriting shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the managing underwriter(s) selected for such underwriting. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the managing underwriter(s) determine(s) in good faith that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten and so notifies the Holders requesting inclusion of their Registrable Securities in such registration, then the managing underwriter(s) may exclude shares (including Registrable Securities) from the registration and the underwriting, and the number of shares that may be included in the registration and the underwriting shall be allocated, FIRST, to the Company, SECOND to Holders requesting inclusion of their Registrable Securities in such registration statement on a pro rata basis based on the number of Registrable Securities each such Holder has requested to be included in the registration, PROVIDED HOWEVER, that the right of the underwriters to exclude shares (including Registrable Securities) from the registration and underwriting as described above shall be restricted so that the number of Registrable Securities included in any such registration is not reduced below twenty percent (20%) of the shares included in the registration. If any Holder disapproves of the terms of any such underwriting, such Holder may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice, given in accordance with Section 5.1 hereof, to the Company and the underwriter, delivered at least twenty (20) days prior to the effective date of the registration statement. Any Registrable Securities excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting shall be excluded and withdrawn from the registration. For any Holder that is a partnership or corporation, the partners, retired partners and shareholders of such Holder, or the estates and family members of any such partners and retired partners and any trusts for the benefit of any of the foregoing persons shall be deemed to be a single "Holder," and any pro rata reduction with respect to such "Holder" shall be based upon the aggregate amount of shares carrying registration rights owned by all entities and individuals included in such "Holder," as defined in this sentence. (c) EXPENSES. All expenses incurred in connection with a registration pursuant to this Section 2.3, including without limitation all registration and qualification fees, printers' and accounting fees, fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company (but excluding underwriters' and brokers' discounts and commissions and the fees and disbursements of legal counsel for the selling Holders, if any), shall be borne by the Company. Each Holder participating in a registration pursuant to this Section 2.3 shall bear such Holder's proportionate share (based on the number of shares sold by such Holder over the total number of shares included in such registration at the time it goes effective) of all discounts, commissions or other amounts payable to underwriters, brokers or legal counsel to the Holders in connection with such offering. 2.4 OBLIGATIONS OF THE COMPANY. When required to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities pursuant to this Agreement, the Company shall keep each Holder participating in such registration advised in writing as to the initiation of each registration and as to the completion thereof, and shall, as expeditiously as reasonably possible: (a) Prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement with respect to such Registrable Securities and use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective (such obligations to be in addition to any other requirements with respect to the filing and effectiveness of the Shelf Registration under Section 2.2 above); 6 (b) Prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection with such registration statement as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement; (c) Furnish to the Holders participating in such registration and the underwriters of the securities being registered such number of copies of the registration statement, preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents as such underwriters may reasonably request in order to facilitate the public offering of such securities; (d) Use reasonable efforts to register and qualify the securities covered by such registration statement under such other securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as shall be reasonably requested by the Holders, provided that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to qualify to do business or to file a general consent to service of process in any such states or jurisdictions; (e) In the event of any underwritten public offering, enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary form, with the managing underwriter(s) of such offering. Each Holder participating in such underwriting hereby agrees to also enter into and perform its obligations under such an agreement; (f) Notify each Holder of Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing and, subject to Section 2.5, at the request of any such Holder, prepare promptly and furnish to such Holder a reasonable number of copies of a supplement to or an amendment of such prospectus as may be necessary so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchaser of such shares, such prospectus shall not include 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 or incomplete in the light of the circumstances then existing; (g) Make available for inspection by any Holder participating in such registration who is a Major Purchaser, any underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to such registration, and any attorney or accountant retained by any such Holder or underwriter, all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company, and cause the Company's officers and directors to supply all information reasonably requested by any such Holder, underwriter, attorney or accountant in connection with such registration statement; provided, however, that such Holder, underwriter, attorney or accountant shall execute a written agreement in favor of the Company obligating such person to hold in confidence and trust all information so provided; and (h) Furnish, on the date that such Registrable Securities are delivered to the underwriters for sale, if such securities are being sold through underwriters: (1) an 7 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, and (2) a "comfort" 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. 2.5 PERMITTED SUSPENSION. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, from and after the time a registration statement filed under this Section 2 covering Registrable Securities is declared effective, the Company shall have the right to suspend the registration statement and the related prospectus in order to prevent premature disclosure of any material non-public information related to corporate developments by delivering notice of such suspension to the Holders (a "PERMITTED SUSPENSION"), PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Company may exercise the right to such Permitted Suspension only for an aggregate of thirty (30) days during any consecutive ninety (90) day period and only for an aggregate of sixty (60) days during any consecutive twelve (12) month period. From and after the date of a notice of a Permitted Suspension under this Section 2.5, each Holder agrees not to use the registration statement or the related prospectus for resale of any Registrable Security until the earlier of (1) notice from the Company that such suspension has been lifted, or (2) the first day on which the length of such Permitted Suspension, when aggregated with prior Permitted Suspensions, exceeds either or both of the time limits referred to in the immediately preceding sentence. 2.6 FURNISH INFORMATION. It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to take any action pursuant to Section 2.2 and 2.3 hereof that each of the selling Holders shall furnish to the Company such information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by them, and the intended method of disposition of such securities as shall be required to timely effect the registration of their Registrable Securities. 2.7 DELAY OF REGISTRATION. No Holder shall have any right to obtain or seek an injunction restraining or otherwise delaying any such registration as the result of any controversy that might arise with respect to the interpretation or implementation of this Section 2. 2.8 INDEMNIFICATION. In the event any Registrable Securities are included in a registration statement under Sections 2.2 or 2.3: (a) BY THE COMPANY. To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, the current and former partners, officers, directors and members of each Holder, any underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act) for such Holder and each person, if any, who controls such Holder or underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, against any losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (joint or several) to which they may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any of the following statements, omissions or violations (collectively, the "VIOLATIONS" and, individually, a "VIOLATION"): 8 (1) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained such registration statement, including any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or any amendments or supplements thereto; or (2) 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 (3) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any federal or state securities law or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any federal or state securities law in connection with the offering covered by such registration statement. The Company will reimburse each such Holder, partner, officer, member or director, underwriter or controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them, within one (1) month after a request for reimbursement has been received by the Company, in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the indemnity agreement contained in this subsection 2.8(a) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), nor shall the Company be liable 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 occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished expressly for use in connection with such registration by such Holder, partner, officer, member, director, underwriter or controlling person of such Holder. (b) BY SELLING HOLDERS. To the extent permitted by law, each selling Holder will severally, but not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who have signed such registration statement, each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, any underwriter and any other Holder selling securities under such registration statement or any of such other Holder's partners, directors, members or officers or any person who controls such Holder within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (joint or several) to which the Company or any such director, officer, member, controlling person, underwriter or other such Holder, partner or director, member, officer or controlling person of such other Holder may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereto) arise out of or are based upon any violation of subsections 2.8(a)(1) and 2.8(a)(2) above, in each case to the extent (and only to the extent) that such violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by such Holder with respect to the Holder (and none other) for use in connection with such registration. Each such Holder will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company or any such director, officer, member, controlling person, underwriter or other Holder, partner, officer, member, director or controlling person of such other Holder in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action within one (1) month after a request for reimbursement has been received by the indemnifying Holder; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the indemnity agreement contained in this subsection 2.8(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement 9 is effected without the consent of the Holder, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; and PROVIDED FURTHER, that the total amounts payable in indemnity by a Holder under this subsection 2.8(b) in respect of any Violation shall not exceed the net proceeds received by such Holder in the registered offering out of which such Violation arises. (c) NOTICE. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 2.8 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 2.8, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof. The indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the parties; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that an indemnified party 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 conflict of interests between such indemnified party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action, if prejudicial to its ability to defend such action, shall relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the indemnified party under this Section 2.8, 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 2.8. (d) DEFECT ELIMINATED IN FINAL PROSPECTUS. The foregoing indemnity agreements of the Company and Holders are subject to the condition that, insofar as they relate to any Violation made in a preliminary prospectus but eliminated or remedied in the amended prospectus on file with the SEC at the time such registration statement becomes effective or the amended prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to SEC Rule 424(b) (the "FINAL PROSPECTUS"), such indemnity agreement shall not inure to the benefit of any person if a copy of the Final Prospectus was furnished to the indemnified party and was not furnished to the person asserting the loss, liability, claim or damage at or prior to the time such action is required by the Securities Act. (e) CONTRIBUTION. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 2.8 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense referred to herein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying the indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party with respect to such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense in the proportion that is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of 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. In any such case, (A) no such Holder will be required to contribute any amount in excess of the public offering price of all such 10 Registrable Securities offered and sold by such Holder pursuant to such registration statement; and (B) no person or entity guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) will be entitled to contribution from any person or entity who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. (f) SURVIVAL. The obligations of the Company and Holders under this Section 2.8 shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in the S-3 Registration Statement, and otherwise. 2.9 LIMITATIONS ON SUBSEQUENT REGISTRATION RIGHTS. From and after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities then outstanding, enter into any agreement granting any holder or prospective holder of any securities of the Company registration rights with respect to such securities that are inconsistent with, or prior in any respect to, the rights granted to the Holders herein. 3. PARTICIPATION RIGHTS. 3.1 GENERAL. Each Purchaser and any party to whom such Purchaser's rights under this Section 3 have been duly assigned in accordance with subsection 4.1 hereof (EACH such Purchaser or assignee being hereinafter referred to as a "RIGHTS HOLDER") has the right to purchase such Rights Holder's Pro Rata Share (as defined below), of all (or any part) of any "New Securities" (as defined in Section 3.2 hereof) that the Company may from time to time issue after the Effective Date, PROVIDED, HOWEVER, such Rights Holder shall have no right to purchase any such New Securities if such Rights Holder cannot demonstrate to the Company's reasonable satisfaction that such Rights Holder is at the time of the proposed issuance of such New Securities an "accredited investor" as such term is defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act. A Rights Holder's "PRO RATA SHARE" for purposes of this participation right is the ratio of (a) the number of Registrable Securities as to which such Rights Holder is the Holder (and/or is deemed to be the Holder under subsection 2.1(d) hereof), to (b) a number of shares of Common Stock of the Company equal to the sum of (1) the total number of shares of Common Stock of the Company then outstanding, plus (2) the total number of shares of Common Stock of the Company into which all then outstanding shares of Preferred Stock of the Company are convertible (assuming for this purpose that shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock are then fully convertible into Series A Preferred Stock), plus (3) the total number of shares of Common Stock of the Company subject to then outstanding options and warrants (including options and warrants exercisable for securities which are ultimately convertible into Common Stock); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, a Rights Holder's Pro Rata Share with respect to any offering of New Securities shall not exceed the Rights Holder's Pro Rata Share calculated as of the last date on which securities were issued under the Purchase Agreement. 3.2 NEW SECURITIES. "NEW SECURITIES" shall mean any Common Stock or Preferred Stock of the Company, whether now authorized or not, and rights, options or warrants to purchase such Common Stock or Preferred Stock, and securities of any type whatsoever that are, or may become, convertible or exchangeable into such Common Stock or Preferred Stock; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the term "New Securities" DOES NOT INCLUDE: 11 (a) shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon conversion of the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock, and shares of Series A Stock issued or issuable upon conversion of the Series A-1 Stock; (b) any shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock (or options, warrants or rights therefor) granted or issued hereafter to employees, officers, directors, contractors, consultants or advisers to, the Company or any subsidiary pursuant to incentive agreements, stock purchase or stock option plans, stock bonuses or awards, warrants, contracts or other arrangements approved by the Board; (c) any shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock (and/or options or warrants therefor) issued to parties that are strategic partners investing in connection with a commercial relationship with the Company under arrangements that are, in each case, approved by the Board; (d) shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock issued pursuant to: (i) acquisitions of other corporations or entities by the Company by consolidation, merger, purchase of all or substantially all of the assets, or other reorganization in which the Company acquires, in a single transaction or series of related transactions, all or substantially all of the assets of such other corporation or entity or fifty percent (50%) or more of the voting power of such other corporation or entity or fifty percent (50%) or more of the equity ownership of such other entity; provided that each such transaction or series of transactions has been approved by the Board, or (ii) purchases of less than a fifty percent (50%) equity ownership of other corporations or entities in connection with joint ventures or other strategic arrangements or other commercial relationships, provided such arrangements are approved in each case by the Board; (e) any shares of Series A Stock, Series A-1 Stock or Warrants issued under the Purchase Agreement; (f) shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock issuable upon exercise of any options or warrants to purchase any securities of the Company outstanding as of the Effective Date and any securities issuable upon the conversion thereof; (g) shares of the Company's Common Stock or Preferred Stock issued in connection with any stock split or stock dividend or recapitalization; and (h) shares of the Company's Common Stock or Preferred Stock issued by the Company to the public pursuant to a registration statement filed under the Securities Act. 3.3 PROCEDURES. In the event that the Company proposes to undertake an issuance of New Securities, it shall give to each Rights Holder a written notice of its intention to issue New Securities (the "NOTICE"), describing the type of New Securities and the price and the general terms upon which the Company proposes to issue such New Securities given in accordance with Section 5.1 hereof. Each Rights Holder shall have twenty (20) days from the date such Notice is effective, as determined pursuant to Section 5.1 hereof based upon the manner or method of notice, to agree in writing to purchase such Rights Holder's Pro Rata Share of such New Securities for the price and upon the general terms specified in the Notice by giving written notice to the Company and stating therein the quantity of New Securities to be purchased 12 (not to exceed such Rights Holder's Pro Rata Share). If any Rights Holder fails to so agree in writing within such twenty (20) day period to purchase such Rights Holder's full Pro Rata Share of an offering of New Securities (a "NONPURCHASING HOLDER"), then such Nonpurchasing Holder shall forfeit the right hereunder to purchase that part of his Pro Rata Share of such New Securities that he, she or it did not so agree to purchase and the Company shall promptly give each Rights Holder who has timely agreed to purchase his full Pro Rata Share of such offering of New Securities (a "PURCHASING HOLDER") written notice of the failure of any Nonpurchasing Holder to purchase such Nonpurchasing Holder's full Pro Rata Share of such offering of New Securities (the "OVERALLOTMENT NOTICE"). Each Purchasing Holder shall have a right of overallotment such that such Purchasing Holder may agree to purchase a portion of the Nonpurchasing Holders' unpurchased Pro Rata Shares of such offering on a pro rata basis according to the relative Pro Rata Shares of the Purchasing Holders, at any time within five (5) days after receiving the Overallotment Notice. 3.4 FAILURE TO EXERCISE. In the event that any Rights Holder fails to exercise in full the participation right within such twenty (20) plus five (5) day period, then the Company shall have ninety (90) days thereafter to sell the New Securities with respect to which such Rights Holder's rights of first refusal hereunder were not exercised, at a price and upon general terms not materially more favorable to the purchasers thereof than specified in the Company's Notice to the Rights Holders. In the event that the Company has not issued and sold the New Securities within such ninety (90) day period, then the Company shall not thereafter issue or sell any New Securities without again first offering such New Securities to the Rights Holders pursuant to this Section 3. 3.5 TERMINATION. The Company's obligations to provide the Notice under Section 3.3 and the Rights Holders' right to purchase their Pro Rata Share of New Securities under this Section 3 shall terminate upon (1) any reorganization, consolidation, merger or similar transaction or series of related transactions (each, a "COMBINATION TRANSACTION") in which the Company is a constituent corporation or is a party if, as a result of such combination transaction, the voting securities of the Company that are outstanding immediately prior to the consummation of such combination transaction (OTHER THAN any such securities that are held by an "Acquiring Stockholder", as defined below) do not represent, or are not converted into, securities of the surviving corporation of such combination transaction (or such surviving corporation's parent corporation if the surviving corporation is owned by the parent corporation) that, immediately after the consummation of such combination transaction, together possess at least a majority of the total voting power of all securities of such surviving corporation (or its parent corporation, if applicable) that are outstanding immediately after the consummation of such combination transaction, including securities of such surviving corporation (or its parent corporation, if applicable) that are held by the Acquiring Stockholder; or (2) a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, that is followed by the distribution of the proceeds to the Company's stockholders or (3) as to each Rights Holder, when such Rights Holder no longer holds any Registrable Securities. For purposes of this Section 3.5, an "ACQUIRING STOCKHOLDER" means a stockholder or stockholders of the Company that (1) merges or combines with the Company in such combination transaction or (2) owns or controls a majority of another corporation that merges or combines with the Company in such combination transaction. 13 4. ASSIGNMENT AND AMENDMENT. 4.1 ASSIGNMENT. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary: (a) INFORMATION RIGHTS. The rights of a Major Purchaser under Section 1 hereof may be assigned to a transferee or assignee in connection with any transfer or assignment of Series A Stock; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that such transferee or assignee (i) is a subsidiary, affiliate or partner or limited liability company member of such Holder or Rights Holder (including spouses and ancestors, lineal descendants and siblings of any of the foregoing who acquire Registrable Securities by gift, will or intestate succession) or (ii) acquires from such party at least at least that minimum number of shares of Series A Stock described in Section 1 hereof necessary to qualify as a Major Purchaser. (b) REGISTRATION RIGHTS; PARTICIPATION RIGHTS. The registration rights of a Holder under Section 2 hereof and the participation right of a Rights Holder under Section 3 hereof may be assigned to a transferee or assignee in connection with any transfer or assignment of Registrable Securities by such party (including any transfer or assignment of Preferred Stock and/or Warrants or the MPLLC Warrant ultimately convertible or exercisable into Registrable Securities); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that such transferee or assignee (i) is a subsidiary, affiliate or partner or limited liability company member of such Holder or Rights Holder (including spouses and ancestors, lineal descendants and siblings of any of the foregoing who acquire Registrable Securities by gift, will or intestate succession) or (ii) acquires from such party at least two hundred fifty thousand (250,000) shares of such Registrable Securities (as adjusted for any stock dividends paid in such Registrable Securities, and combinations, stock splits, recapitalizations and the like with respect to such Registrable Securities). (c) GENERAL. No transfer or assignment of information rights pursuant to Section 4.1(a), or of registration rights or participation rights pursuant to Section 4.1(b), shall be permitted or effective unless: (i) the Company is provided with written notice by the assigning or transferring party at the time of such assignment or transfer stating the name and address of the assignee or transferee and identifying the securities of the Company as to which the rights in question are being assigned or transferred, and (ii) such assignee or transferee agrees in writing to receive such assigned or transferred rights subject to all the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including without limitation the provisions of this Section 4.1. 4.2 AMENDMENT AND WAIVER OF RIGHTS. Any provision of this Agreement 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 (and/or any of their permitted successors or assigns) holding at least a majority of all Registrable Securities then outstanding; PROVIDED, that solely for the purposes of amending or waiving the provisions of Section 2 hereof (and for no other purpose hereunder), MPLLC (and any of its permitted successors or assigns) shall be considered to be a Purchaser hereunder. Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this Section 4.2 shall be binding upon each Purchaser, MPLLC, the Company, and their permitted successors and assigns. 4.3 NEW PURCHASERS. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if pursuant to Section 1.6 of the Purchase Agreement, Additional Closing Purchasers (as defined in 14 the Purchase Agreement) purchase Additional Closing Shares (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), then each such Additional Closing Purchaser shall become a party to this Agreement as a "Purchaser" hereunder, without the need of obtaining any consent, approval or signature of any Purchaser, when such Additional Closing Purchaser has both: (a) purchased Additional Closing Shares under the Purchase Agreement and paid the Company all consideration payable for such Additional Closing Shares and (b) executed one or more counterpart signature pages to this Agreement as a "Purchaser." 5.
