This Amended and Restated Right of First Refusal and Co-Sale Agreement (the

holding shares and/or options representing one percent (1%) or more of the Stock (as defined
below) of the Company listed on Schedule B hereto (for purposes of this Agreement, each
referred to herein as a "Founder" and collectively as the "Founders"). For clarity, no Investor

future ownership of Common Stock.

certain Series B Convertible Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement")
of even date herewith;
WHEREAS, the Company, certain Investors and certain Founders have previously
entered into that certain Right of First Refusal and Co-Sale Agreement dated as of March 30,
2010 (as amended, the "Prior Agreement") and desire to amend and restate the Prior
Agreement and to accept the rights created pursuant hereto in lieu of the rights created under the

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of these premises and for other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto
agree as follows:
1. Definitions.
1.1 "Preferred Stock" shall mean the Series A Preferred Stock and the
Series B Preferred Stock.
1
L1804384151.6
EFTA01143369
1.2 "Series A Preferred Stock" shall mean the Company's Series A
Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share.
1.3 "Stock" shall mean and include all shares of Common Stock issued and
outstanding at the relevant time plus (a) all shares of Common Stock that may be issued upon
exercise of any options, warrants and other rights of any kind that are then exercisable, and (b)
all shares of Common Stock that may be issued upon conversion of (i) any convertible securities,
including, without limitation, Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock and debt
securities, if any, then outstanding that are by their terms then convertible into or exchangeable
for Common Stock or (ii) any such convertible securities issuable upon exercise of outstanding
options, warrants or other rights that are then exercisable.
1.4 i°Transfer" shall include any sale, assignment, encumbrance,
hypothecation, pledge, conveyance in trust, gift, transfer by request, devise or descent, or other
transfer or disposition of any kind, including, but not limited to, transfers to receivers, levying
creditors, trustees or receivers in bankruptcy proceedings or general assignees for the benefit of
creditors, whether voluntary or by operation of law, directly or indirectly, of any of the Stock.
1.5 "Transfer Stock" shall mean shares of Common Stock owned by a
Founder, or issued to a Founder after the date hereof (including, without limitation, in connection
with any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, or the like), but does not
include any shares of Preferred Stock or Common Stock issued or issuable upon conversion of
Preferred Stock.
2. Transfers by a Founder.
2.1 Notice of Transfer. Subject to Section 3 herein, if a Founder proposes to
Transfer any shares of Transfer Stock (such Founder, the "Transferring Founder"), then the
Transferring Founder shall give written notice (the "First Refusal Notice") to the Company and
each of the Investors prior to the closing of such Transfer. The First Refusal Notice shall
describe in reasonable detail the proposed Transfer including, without limitation, the number of
shares of Transfer Stock to be transferred (the "Offered Shares"), the nature of such Transfer,
the price, the form of consideration, the name and address of each prospective purchaser or
transferee and any other material terms and conditions. Upon the request of the Company or any
Investor, the Transferring Founder will promptly furnish to the Company and to the Investors
such other information as may be reasonably requested to establish that the offer and the
prospective purchaser or transferee are bona fide.
2.2 Company Right of First Refusal. Subject to Section 3 herein, for a
period of fifteen (15) days following receipt of any First Refusal Notice described in Section 2.1,
the Company shall have the right to purchase all or a portion of the Offered Shares on the same
terms and conditions as set forth in the First Refusal Notice. The Company's purchase right
shall be exercised by written notice (the "Company Notice") and delivered to the Transferring
Founder within such fifteen (15) day period. If the Company desires to exercise its purchase
right, the Company shall effect the purchase of the Offered Shares, including payment of the
purchase price, by the later of (a) the date specified in the First Refusal Notice as the intended
date of the proposed Transfer of the Transfer Stock and (b) forty-five (45) days after delivery of
2
LIB04384151.6
EFTA01143370
the First Refusal Notice, and at such time the Transferring Founder shall deliver to the Company
the certificate(s) representing the Transfer Stock to be purchased by the Company, each
certificate to be properly endorsed for transfer. If the consideration proposed to be paid for the
Transfer Stock includes consideration other than cash consideration, the fair market value of
such consideration will be determined by the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board of
Directors") in good faith and set forth in the Company Notice, which determination will be
binding on the Company and the Transferring Founder and the Company may elect to pay the
fair market value of such consideration in cash. The payment of the purchase price for the
Transfer Stock purchased by the Company exercising its right of first refusal will be made, at the
option of the Company, (i) in cash (by check or wire transfer); (ii) by cancellation of all or a
portion of any outstanding indebtedness of the Transferring Founder to the Company; or (iii) by
any combination of the foregoing. If the Company does not exercise its purchase right within
such fifteen (15) day period with respect to all of the Offered Shares then the Company shall, by
the last day of such period, deliver written notice of that fact to each Investor (the "Investor
Notice"). The Investor Notice sent to each Investor shall specify the number of Offered Shares
not purchased by the Company (the "Remaining Company Shares").
2.3 Investors Right of First Refusal.
(a) Subject to Section 3 herein, for a period of fifteen (15) days
following receipt of any Investor Notice described in Section 2.2, each Investor shall
have the right to purchase all of his or its Pro Rata Fraction (as defined below) of the
Remaining Company Shares subject to such Investor Notice on the same terms and
conditions as set forth in the First Refusal Notice. Each Investor's purchase right shall be
exercised by written notice (the "Exercise Notice") and delivered to the Transferring
Founder within such fifteen (15) day period. If an Investor desires to exercise his or its
purchase right, such Investor shall effect the purchase of such Investor's Pro Rata
Fraction of the Remaining Company Shares, including payment by such Investor of the
purchase price, by the later of (a) the date specified in the First Refusal Notice as the
intended date of the proposed Transfer of the Transfer Stock and (b) forty-five (45) days
after delivery of the First Refusal Notice, and at such time the Transferring Founder shall
deliver to the Company the certificate(s) representing the Transfer Stock to be purchased
by the Investor(s), each certificate to be properly endorsed for transfer. If the
consideration proposed to be paid for the Transfer Stock includes consideration other
than cash consideration, the fair market value of such consideration will be determined by
the Board of Directors in good faith and set forth in the Investor Notice, which
determination will be binding on the Investor and the Transferring Founder and the
Investor may elect to pay the fair market value of such consideration in cash. The
payment of the purchase price for the Transfer Stock purchased by the Investor(s)
exercising his/its right of first refusal will be made in cash (by check or wire transfer).
An Investor's "Pro Rata Fraction" shall be equal to the product obtained by multiplying
the total number of Remaining Company Shares by a fraction, the numerator of which is
the total number of shares of Preferred Stock (on an as-converted to Common Stock
basis) owned by such Investor, and the denominator of which is the total number of
shares of Preferred Stock (on an as-converted to Common Stock basis) held by all the
Investors, in each case as of the date of the First Refusal Notice.

LIB04384151.6
EFTA01143371
(b) The Transferring Founder shall promptly notify the Investors (no
later than five (5) days after the expiration of the fifteen (15) day period specified in
Section 2.3(a) above) in the event the Investors have exercised their purchase right with
respect to some but not all of the Remaining Company Shares, in which case those
Investors who have exercised their purchase right within the fifteen (15) day period
specified in Section 2.3(a) shall have an additional purchase right, for a period of ten (10)
days succeeding the expiration of such fifteen (15) day period, to purchase all or any part
of the balance of such Remaining Company Shares on the terms and conditions set forth
in the First Refusal Notice. Any such Investor may exercise the purchase right in this
Section 2.3(b) by the delivery of written notice to the Transferring Founder. In the event
there are two or more such Investors that choose to exercise the purchase right in this
Section 2.3(b) for a total number of Remaining Company Shares in excess of the number
available, the Remaining Company Shares available for each such Investor's purchase
right shall be allocated to such Investors pro rata based on the number of shares of
Preferred Stock (on an as-converted to Common Stock basis) owned by the Investors so
electing.
(c) Subject to the Investors' right of co-sale in Section 2.4 herein, to
the extent that the Company and the Investors do not exercise their rights to purchase
under Sections 2.2 and 2.3, respectively, all of the Offered Shares specified in the First
Refusal Notice, then the Company and the Investors shall be deemed to have forfeited
any right to purchase such Transfer Stock, and the Transferring Founder may, not later
than ninety (90) days following delivery to the Company of the First Refusal Notice,
Transfer all, but not less than all, of the Offered Shares covered by the First Refusal
Notice to the proposed purchaser upon the same terms and conditions (including the
purchase price) as those described in the First Refusal Notice. Any proposed Transfer on
different terms and conditions than those described in the First Refusal Notice, as well as
any subsequent proposed Transfer of any Transfer Stock by the Transferring Founder,
shall again be subject to the first right of first refusal of the Company and the secondary
right of first refusal of the Investors and shall require compliance by the Transferring
Founder with the procedures described in this Section 2.
2.4 Right of Co-Sale.
(a) Subject to Section 3 herein, in the event the Company and the
Investors elect not to exercise their right to purchase all of the Transfer Stock under
Sections 2.2 and 2.3, respectively, then, following the expiration of the Investors' right of
first refusal set forth in Section 2.3 (including expiration of the over-allotment period set
forth in Section 2.3(b)), the Transferring Founder shall promptly deliver to the Company
and each Investor prior to the closing of the proposed Transfer a written notice (the "Co-
Sale Notice"), which Co-Sale Notice shall set forth the same information required to be
included in the First Refusal Notice described in Section 2.1. Each Investor shall have
the right, exercisable upon written notice to the Transferring Founder with a copy to the
Company within fifteen (15) days after receipt of the Co-Sale Notice, to participate in
such Transfer of Transfer Stock on the same terms and conditions as is specified in the
Co-Sale Notice (provided that if an Investor wishes to sell Preferred Stock, the price set
forth in the Co-Sale Notice shall be appropriately adjusted based on the conversion ratio
4
LIBO4384151.6
EFTA01143372
of such series of Preferred Stock into Common Stock pursuant to the Company's
certificate of incorporation). Such notice delivered by the Investor shall indicate the
number of shares of capital stock (up to that number of shares determined under Section
2.4(b)) such Investor wishes to sell under its right to participate. To the extent one or
more of the Investors exercises such right of participation in accordance with the terms
and conditions set forth below, the number of shares of Transfer Stock that the
Transferring Founder may sell in the transaction shall be correspondingly reduced.
(b) Each Investor may sell all or any part of that number of shares
equal to the product obtained by multiplying; (i) the aggregate number of shares of
Transfer Stock covered by the Co-Sale Notice by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is
the number of shares of Stock owned by such Investor at the time of the Co-Sale Notice
and the denominator of which is the total number of shares of Stock owned, in the
aggregate, by all of the Investors at the time of the Co-Sale Notice plus the number of
shares of Transfer Stock held by the Transferring Founder.
(c) Each Investor who elects to participate in the Transfer pursuant to
this Section 2.4 (a "Co-Sale Participant") shall effect its participation in the Transfer by
promptly delivering to the Transferring Founder for transfer to the prospective purchaser
one or more certificates, properly endorsed for transfer, which represent:
(i) the number of shares of Common Stock which such Co-
Sale Participant elects to sell; or
(ii) that number of shares of Preferred Stock which is at such
time convertible into the number of shares of Common Stock which such Co-Sale
Participant elects to sell; provided, that unless approved by the Board of Directors, the
prospective purchaser will not be assigned any rights under that certain Amended and
Restated Investors' Rights Agreement, by and among the Company and the other parties
thereto dated as of even date herewith; and provided, further that if the prospective
purchaser objects to the delivery of shares of Preferred Stock in lieu of shares of
Common Stock, such Co-Sale Participant shall first convert such shares of Preferred
Stock into shares of Common Stock and deliver such shares of Common Stock as
provided herein. The Company agrees to make any such conversion or exchange
concurrent with and contingent upon the actual transfer of such shares to the purchaser.
(d) The stock certificate or certificates that the Co-Sale Participant
delivers to the Transferring Founder pursuant to Section 2.4(c) shall be transferred to the
prospective purchaser in consummation of the sale of the Transfer Stock pursuant to the
terms and conditions specified in the Co-Sale Notice, and the Transferring Founder shall
concurrently therewith remit or direct payment to such Co-Sale Participant that portion of
the sale proceeds to which such Co-Sale Participant is entitled by reason of its
participation in such sale. To the extent that any prospective purchaser prohibits such
assignment or otherwise refuses to purchase shares or other securities from a Co-Sale
Participant exercising its rights of co-sale hereunder, the Transferring Founder shall not
sell to such prospective purchaser any Transfer Stock unless and until, simultaneously
with such sale, the Transferring Founder shall purchase such shares or other securities
5
LIB04384151.6
EFTA01143373
from such Co-Sale Participant on the same terms and conditions specified in the Co-Sale
Notice.
(e) The exercise or non-exercise of the rights of any Investor
hereunder to participate in one or more Transfers of Transfer Stock made by any
Transferring Founder shall not adversely affect such Investor's right to participate in
subsequent Transfers of Transfer Stock subject to Section 2.
(f) To the extent that the Investors do not elect to participate in the
sale of the Transfer Stock subject to the Co-Sale Notice, the Transferring Founder may,
not later than seventy-five (75) days following delivery to the Company and each
Investor of the Co-Sale Notice, Transfer all, but not less than all, of the Offered Shares
specified in the Co-Sale Notice to the proposed purchaser upon the same terms and
conditions (including the purchase price) as those described in the Co-Sale Notice. Any
proposed Transfer on different terms and conditions than those described in the Co-Sale
Notice, as well as any subsequent proposed Transfer of any of the Transfer Stock by the
Transferring Founder, shall again be subject to the co-sale rights of the Investors and
shall require compliance by the Transferring Founder with the procedures described in
this Section 2.
3. Exempt Transfers.
3.1 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the right of first refusal of the Company
and the Investors and the co-sale rights of the Investors set forth in Section 2 above shall not
apply to: (i) in the case of a Founder that is a natural person, any Transfer of Transfer Stock by
such Founder made for bona fide estate planning purposes, either during his or her lifetime or on
death by will or intestacy to the Founders' ancestors, descendants, siblings or spouse, or a trust
or family limited partnership for the benefit of such persons or the Founder; (ii) in the case of a
Founder that is an entity, upon a transfer by such Founder to its stockholders, members, partners
or other equity holders, (iii) any Transfer of Transfer Stock by a Founder that is approved by the
Investors holding at least two-thirds of the Stock then held by the Investors; or (iv) any
repurchase of Transfer Stock from a Founder by the Company pursuant to agreements under
which the Company has the option to repurchase such Transfer Stock upon the occurrence of
certain events, such as termination of employment or in connection with the exercise by the
Company of any rights of first refusal; provided that in the event of any transfer made pursuant
to one of the exemptions provided by clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) above, (A) the Founder shall inform
the Company of such pledge, Transfer or gift prior to effecting it, and (B) the pledgee, transferee
or donee shall enter into a written agreement to be bound by and comply with all provisions of
this Agreement, as if it were an original Founder hereunder, including without limitation
Section 2. Any Transfer Stock transferred pursuant to one of the exemptions provided by clauses
(i), (ii) or (iii) above shall remain "Stock" hereunder, and such pledgee, transferee or donee shall
be treated as the "Founder" for purposes of this Agreement.
6
LIB04384151.6
EFTA01143374
4. Prohibited Transfers.
4.1 Put Option.
(a) In the event that a Founder should sell any Transfer Stock in
contravention of the co-sale rights of each Investor under Section 2.4 of this Agreement
(a "Prohibited Transfer"), each Investor, in addition to such other remedies as may be
available at law, in equity or hereunder, shall have the put option provided below, and
such Founder shall be bound by the applicable provisions of such option.
(b) In the event of a Prohibited Transfer, each Investor shall have the
right to sell to such Founder the type and number of shares of Stock equal to the number
of shares each Investor would have been entitled to transfer to the purchaser under
Section 2.4 hereof had the Prohibited Transfer been effected pursuant to and in
compliance with the terms hereof. Such sale shall be made on the following terms and
conditions:
(i) The price per share at which the shares of Stock are to be
sold to such Founder shall be equal to the price per share paid by the purchaser to such
Founder in such Prohibited Transfer.
(ii) Within ninety (90) days after the date on which an Investor
received notice of the Prohibited Transfer or otherwise became aware of the Prohibited
Transfer, such Investor shall, if exercising the option created hereby, deliver to such
Founder the certificate or certificates representing the shares to be sold, each certificate to
be properly endorsed for transfer.
(iii) Such Founder shall, upon receipt of the certificate or
certificates for the shares to be sold by an Investor pursuant to this Section 4.1, pay the
aggregate purchase price therefor in immediately available funds.
4.2 If any Founder becomes obligated to sell any Transfer Stock to the
Company or any Investor under this Agreement and fails to deliver such Transfer Stock in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Company and/or such Investor may, at its
option, in addition to all other remedies as may be available at law, in equity or hereunder, send
to such Founder the purchase price for such Transfer Stock as is herein specified and transfer to
the name of the Company or such Investor (or request that the Company effect such transfer in
the name of an Investor) on the Company's books the certificate(s) representing the Transfer
Stock to be sold.
4.3 No Founder shall transfer any Transfer Stock to (a) any entity which, in
the determination of the Board of Directors, directly or indirectly competes with the Company or
(b) any customer, distributor or supplier of the Company, if the Board of Directors should
determine that such transfer would result in such customer, distributor or supplier receiving
information that would place the Company at a competitive disadvantage with respect to such
customer, distributor or supplier.
7
L1804384151.6
EFTA01143375
4.4 Any attempt by any Founder to Transfer any Transfer Stock in violation of
any provision of this Agreement will be void. The Company will not (a) transfer on its books
any Transfer Stock that has been sold, gifted or otherwise transferred in violation of this
Agreement or (b) treat as owner of such Transfer Stock, or accord the right to vote to, or pay
dividends to, any purchaser, donee or other transferee to whom such Transfer Stock may have
been so transferred. Each party hereto acknowledges and agrees that any breach of this
Agreement would cause substantial harm to the other parties hereto for which monetary damages
alone could not adequately compensate. Therefore, the parties hereto unconditionally and
irrevocably agree that any non-breaching party hereto shall be entitled to seek protective orders,
injunctive relief and other remedies available at law or in equity (including, without limitation,
seeking specific performance or the rescission of purchases, sales and other transfers of Transfer
Stock not made in strict compliance with this Agreement).
5. Market Stand-Off Agreement.
5.1 If requested by the Company and an underwriter of an offering of shares
of Common Stock (or other securities) of the Company, each Founder hereby agrees that such
Founder shall not sell or otherwise transfer, make any short sale of, grant any option for the
purchase of, or enter into any hedging or similar transaction with the same economic effect as a
sale, of any shares of Common Stock (or other securities) of the Company held by such Founder
(other than those included in such offering) during the one hundred eighty (180) day period
following the effective date of the Company's initial public offering, or, if requested by the
managing underwriter for such initial public offering, such longer period of time as is necessary
for compliance with the rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority; provided, however,
that such extension shall not exceed thirty-four (34) days following the expiration of the original
one hundred eighty (180) day period. The obligations described in this Section 5 shall not apply
to a registration relating solely to employee benefit plans on Form S-1 or Form S-8 or similar
forms that may be promulgated in the future, or a registration relating solely to a transaction on
Form S-4 or similar forms that may be promulgated in the future. The Company may impose
stop-transfer instructions and may stamp each such certificate with the legend set forth in Section
6.1 hereof with respect to the shares of Common Stock (or other securities) subject to the
foregoing restriction until the end of such one hundred eighty (180) day (or longer, if applicable,
as described above) period. Each Holder agrees to execute a market standoff agreement with
said underwriters in customary form consistent with the provisions of this Section 5.
6. Legend.
6.1 Each certificate representing shares of Transfer Stock now or hereafter
owned by a Founder or issued to any person in connection with a Transfer pursuant to clauses (i),
(ii) or (iii) of Section 3.1 hereof shall be endorsed with substantially the following legend:
"THE SALE, PLEDGE, HYPOTHECATION OR TRANSFER OF THE SECURITIES
REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE IS SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON
TRANSFERABILITY AND RESALE, INCLUDING A LOCK-UP PERIOD OF UP TO
180 DAYS (SUBJECT TO EXTENSION) IN THE EVENT OF A PUBLIC OFFERING,
AS SET FORTH IN A RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL AND CO-SALE AGREEMENT
BY AND AMONG THE STOCKHOLDER, THE COMPANY AND CERTAIN
8
LIBO4384151.6
EFTA01143376
HOLDERS OF STOCK OF THE COMPANY. A COPY OF SUCH AGREEMENT
MAY BE OBTAINED UPON WRITTEN REQUEST TO THE SECRETARY OF THE
COMPANY."
6.2 Each Founder agrees that the Company may instruct its transfer agent to
impose transfer restrictions on the shares represented by certificates bearing the legend referred
to in Section 6.1 above to enforce the provisions of this Agreement and the Company agrees to
promptly do so. The legend shall be removed at the request of any Founder following
termination of this Agreement.
7. Miscellaneous.
7.1 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware as to matters within the
scope thereof, and as to all other matters shall be governed by and construed in accordance with
the internal laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without regard to its principles of
conflicts of laws.
7.2 Amendment; Waiver. Any provision of this Agreement may be
amended or modified or this Agreement may be terminated, only with the written consent of (i)
the Company, (ii) the Investors holding at least two-thirds of the capital stock (on an as-
converted to Common Stock basis) then held by the Investors, and (iii) the Founders holding a
majority-in-interest of the Common Stock then held by all Founders then employed by or in a

observance thereof for the benefit of the Founders may be waived on behalf of all Founders by
Founders holding a majority-in-interest of the Common Stock then held by all Founders then
employed by or in a consulting relationship with the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
(a) the consent of the Founders shall not be required for any amendment, modification,
termination or waiver if such amendment, modification, termination or waiver does not apply to
the Founders or if the sole purpose of such amendment or modification is to include additional
purchasers of Preferred Stock (whether such Preferred Stock is currently or hereafter designated)
as "Investors", (b) this Agreement may not be amended, modified or terminated, and the
observance of any term hereunder may not be waived, with respect to any Investor without the
written consent of such Investor unless such amendment, modification, termination or waiver
applies to all Investors in the same fashion, and (c) the Company may update Schedule A and
Schedule B to reflect ministerial changes, Transfers permitted by this Agreement, and the
admission of any additional parties to this Agreement in accordance with the provisions and
restrictions of Section 7.3 and 7.9 hereof without any further consent of the parties hereto. Any
amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this Section 7.2 shall be binding upon all
parties hereto.
7.3 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement, and the rights and obligations
of the parties hereunder, shall not be assigned, transferred, delegated or sublicensed by any

LIB04384151.6
EFTA01143377
Investor without the prior written consent of the Company except in connection with: (A) a
transfer of shares of Preferred Stock and/or Common Stock by an Investor to any of its affiliates
(including an affiliated fund managed by the same manager or managing member or general
partner or management company or by an entity controlling, controlled by, or under common
control with such manager or managing member or general partner or management company,
each an "Affiliated Fund") or any other Person that shares a common investment advisor with

Investor to his or her spouse or to the siblings, lineal descendants or ancestors of such partner or

Investor exercising its co-sale rights under this Agreement, if in each transfer under clauses (A),
(B) or (C), the prospective transferee agrees in all such instances in writing to be subject to the
terms hereof to the same extent as if he or she were an original Investor hereunder. This
Agreement, and the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder, shall not be assigned,
transferred, delegated or sublicensed by any Founder without the prior written consent of the
Company and the Investors holding at least two-thirds of the Preferred Stock (on an as-converted
to Common Stock basis) then held by the Investors. Any attempt by a Founder without such
permission to assign, transfer or delegate any rights, duties or obligations that arise under this
Agreement shall be void. Subject to the foregoing, the provisions hereof shall inure to the
benefit of, and be binding upon, the parties hereto and their respective successors, assigns, heirs,
executors and administrators and other legal representatives.
7.4 Term. This Agreement shall continue in full force and effect from the
date hereof through the earliest of the following events, and immediately following such event
this Agreement shall terminate in its entirety:
(a) the closing of a firm commitment underwritten initial public
offering pursuant to an effective registration statement filed under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), covering the offer and sale of Common Stock
resulting in the automatic conversion of all outstanding shares of Preferred Stock to
Common Stock;
(b) the closing of a Deemed Liquidation Event (as defined in the
Company's certificate of incorporation, as it may be amended and/or restated from time
to time), provided that in the case of a sale of assets, such termination shall occur only
upon completion of the distribution of all proceeds of such sale to the stockholders of the
Company in accordance with the Company's certificate of incorporation; or
