SECTION 4 REGISTRATION PROCEDURES

In connection with any Shelf Registration Statement, the following provisions shall apply:

(a) The Company shall ensure that (i) any Shelf Registration Statement and any amendment thereto and any Prospectus forming part thereof and any amendment or supplement thereto complies in all material respects with the Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, (ii) any Shelf Registration Statement and any amendment thereto does not, when it becomes effective, contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading and (iii) except as permitted by Section 3, any Prospectus forming part of any Shelf Registration Statement, and any amendment or supplement to such Prospectus, does not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(b) (1) The Company shall advise the Holders named in any Shelf Registration Statement that have provided in writing to the Company a telephone or facsimile number and address for notices, and, if requested by any such Holder, confirm such advice in writing when a Shelf Registration Statement and any amendment thereto has been filed with the Commission and when the Shelf Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto has become effective.

(2) The Company shall advise the Holders named in any Shelf Registration Statement, which have provided in writing to the Company a telephone or facsimile number and address for notices, and, if requested by any such Holder, confirm such advice in writing:

(i) of any request by the Commission for amendments or supplements to the Shelf Registration Statement or the Prospectus included therein or for additional information;

(ii) of the initiation by the Commission of proceedings relating to a stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement;

(iii) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement;

(iv) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the securities included therein for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose;

(v) of the existence of any fact and the happening of any event that, in the opinion of the Company, makes untrue any statement of a material fact made in its Shelf Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto or any document incorporated by reference therein or requires the making of any changes in the Shelf Registration Statement or the Prospectus so that, as of such date, the statements therein are not misleading and do not omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of the Prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading; and

(vi) the filing of an amendment to the Shelf Registration Statement.

(c) The Company shall use its best efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of any Shelf Registration Statement at the earliest possible time.

(d) The Company shall use its best efforts to furnish to each selling Holder named in any Shelf Registration Statement who so requests in writing and who has provided to the Company an address for notices, without charge, at least one conformed copy of such Shelf Registration Statement and any post-effective amendments thereto (excluding any exhibits thereto).

(e) The Company shall, during the Shelf Registration Period, deliver to each Holder named in any Shelf Registration Statement and who has provided to the Company an address for notices, without charge, as many copies of the Prospectus (including each preliminary Prospectus) contained in such Shelf Registration Statement and any amendment or supplement thereto as such Holder may reasonably request; subject to any notice by the Company in accordance with Section 4(b)(2) hereof, the Company consents to the use of the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto by each of the selling Holders for the purposes of the offering and resale of the Registrable Securities covered by the Prospectus in accordance with the applicable regulations promulgated under the Act and any restrictions set forth in the Prospectus.

(f) Prior to any offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to any Shelf Registration Statement, the Company shall register or qualify or cooperate with the Holders named therein and their respective counsel in connection with the registration or qualification of such Registrable Securities for offer and sale under the securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions of the United States as any such Holders reasonably request in writing as promptly as practicable prior to the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement; provided,however, that the Company will not be required to qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified or to take any action which would subject it to general or unlimited service of process or to taxation in any such jurisdiction where it is not then so subject.

(g) The Company shall cooperate with the Holders to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing Registrable Securities sold pursuant to any Shelf Registration Statement free of any restrictive legends and in such denominations and registered in such names as Holders may request in writing.

(h) Except to the extent otherwise permitted under Section 3, upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by paragraph 4(b)(2)(v) hereof, the Company shall promptly prepare a post-effective amendment to any Shelf Registration Statement or an amendment or supplement to the related Prospectus or file any other required document so that as thereafter delivered to purchasers of the Registrable Securities covered thereby, the Prospectus will not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(i) As a condition to inclusion of a Noteholder’s Registrable Securities in the Initial Shelf Registration Statement, such Noteholder shall deliver to the Company a Notice and Questionnaire concurrent with the delivery of an executed copy hereof and shall provide the Company with any updated information prior to the effectiveness of the Initial Shelf Registration Statement. From and after the date the Initial Shelf Registration Statement is declared effective, the Company shall, as promptly as practicable after the date a Notice and Questionnaire is delivered to the Company by a Holder of Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 9(b) hereof, file with the Commission any amendments to any Shelf Registration Statement or supplements to the related Prospectus as may be required by applicable law so that the Holder delivering such Notice and Questionnaire may use such Prospectus to sell such Holder’s Registrable Securities, subject to Section 3(c) hereof; provided, however that if such Notice and Questionnaire is delivered during a Supplemental Delay Period, the Company shall so inform the Holder delivering such Notice and Questionnaire and shall not be obligated to file any amendment to any Shelf Registration Statement or supplement to the related Prospectus until expiration of the Supplemental Delay Period. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Company shall be under no obligation to name any Holder that has not submitted a Notice and Questionnaire as a selling securityholder in any Shelf Registration Statement or related Prospectus, and the Company shall be under no obligation to name any Holder or file any such amendments or supplements to the extent such naming or filing would be in violation of applicable law, including federal securities laws.

(j) With respect to any underwritten offering of Registrable Securities under the Shelf Registration Statement, the Company shall enter into such agreements (including underwriting agreements) and make such representations and warranties and take all such other actions in connection therewith in order to expedite or facilitate such underwritten offering as may be reasonably requested by the Majority Holders, counsel to the Majority Holders or the managing Underwriters in connection therewith. In such connection, the Company shall, upon request by the Majority Holders, counsel to the Majority Holders or the managing Underwriters in connection with such Shelf Registration Statement, use its best efforts to cause (i) its counsel to deliver an opinion relating to the Shelf Registration Statement and the Registrable Securities in customary form, (ii) its officers to execute and deliver all customary documents and certificates reasonably requested by such Majority Holders, counsel to such Majority Holders or the managing Underwriters and (iii) its independent public accountants to provide a customary comfort letter or letters, in the customary form and covering matters of the type customarily covered in comfort letters to underwriters in connection with underwritten offerings.

(k) The Company may register or offer securities of the Company other than the Registrable Securities under any Shelf Registration Statement.

SECTION 5 HOLDERS’ AGREEMENTS

Each Holder severally but not jointly, by the acquisition of Shares, agrees:

(a) The Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act, and such Holder agrees, on its own behalf and on behalf of each account for which it acquires any Shares, that such Shares may be offered, resold, pledged or otherwise transferred only (i) in a transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 144 under the Securities Act or in accordance with a valid exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, (ii) to the Company or (iii) pursuant to an effective Shelf Registration Statement, and, in each case, in accordance with any applicable securities laws of any State of the United States or any other applicable jurisdiction. Such Holder agrees that it will furnish the Company and the Company’s transfer agent an opinion of counsel, if the Company so requests, that the foregoing restrictions on transfer have been complied with, and such certificates and other information as the Company may require to confirm that any such transfer is being made pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Act. Such Holder understands that the Company’s transfer agent will not be required to accept for registration of transfer any Shares, except upon presentation of evidence satisfactory to the Company, including an opinion of counsel if the Company so requests, that the foregoing restrictions on transfer or exercise have been complied with.

(b) That upon receipt of a notice of the commencement of a Supplemental Delay Period, it will keep the fact of such notice confidential, forthwith discontinue disposition of its Registrable Securities pursuant to any Shelf Registration Statement, and will not deliver any Prospectus forming a part thereof until receipt of an amended or supplemented Shelf Registration Statement or Prospectus, as applicable, as contemplated by Section 4(h) hereof, or until receipt of the Advice.

(c) If so directed by the Company in a notice of the commencement of a Supplemental Delay Period, each Holder will deliver to the Company (at the Company’s expense) all copies, other than permanent file copies then in such Holder’s possession, of any Prospectus covering the Registrable Securities.

(d) Sales of such Registrable Securities pursuant to any Shelf Registration Statement shall only be made in the manner set forth in such currently effective Shelf Registration Statement and in accordance with applicable law.

(e) Upon the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to any Shelf Registration Statement, each Holder will deliver to the Company’s transfer agent, with a copy to the Company, a Certificate of Subsequent Sale substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, so that the Registrable Securities may be properly transferred.

SECTION 6 REGISTRATION EXPENSES

The Company shall bear all expenses incurred in connection with the performance of its obligations under Sections 3 and 4 hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything in this Agreement to the contrary, each Holder shall pay all underwriting discounts and commissions of any Underwriters with respect to any Registrable Securities sold by it.

SECTION 7 INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION

(a) In connection with any Shelf Registration Statement and to the extent permitted by law, the Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Holder covered thereby, the directors, officers, employees, partners, representatives and agents of each such Holder and each person who controls any such Holder within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (each such person being sometimes hereinafter referred to as an “indemnified party”) against any and all losses, claims, damages, judgments or liabilities, joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, judgements or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Shelf Registration Statement as originally filed or in any amendment thereof, or in any Prospectus, or in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or arise out of, or are based upon, 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, and to reimburse each such indemnified party, as incurred, for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, judgment, liability or action; provided, however, that (i) the Company will not be liable in any case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, judgement or liability arises out of, or is based upon, any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the Company in writing by or on behalf of any such Holder for inclusion therein and (ii) the Company will not be liable to any indemnified party under this indemnity agreement with respect to any Shelf Registration Statement or Prospectus to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, judgement or liability of such indemnified party results solely from an untrue statement of a material fact contained in, or the omission of a material fact from, the Shelf Registration Statement or Prospectus, which untrue statement or omission was corrected in an amended or supplemented Shelf Registration Statement or Prospectus, if the person alleging such loss, claim, damage or liability was not sent or given, at or prior to the written confirmation of such sale, a copy of the amended or supplemented Shelf Registration Statement or Prospectus if the Company had previously furnished copies thereof to such indemnified party and if delivery of a prospectus is required by the Act and was not so made. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have.

(b) Each Holder covered by any Shelf Registration Statement severally agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of the Company’s directors, officers, employees, partners, representatives and agents, and each person who controls the Company within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to each such Holder, but only with reference to information relating to such Holder furnished to the Company in writing by or on behalf of such Holder for inclusion in the documents referred to in the foregoing indemnity. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which any such Holder may otherwise have. In no event shall any Holder, its directors, officers or any person who controls such Holder be liable or responsible for any amount in excess of the amount by which the total amount received by such Holder with respect to its sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to any Shelf Registration Statement exceeds (i) the amount paid by such Holder for such Registrable Securities and (ii) the amount of any damages that such Holder, its directors, officers or any

person who controls such Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.

(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 7 of notice of the commencement of any action, the indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 7, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the failure to so notify the indemnifying party (i) will not relieve it from liability under paragraph (a) or (b) above unless and to the extent it did not otherwise learn of such action and such failure results in the forfeiture by the indemnifying party of substantial rights and defenses and (ii) will not, in any event, relieve the indemnifying party from any obligations to any indemnified party other than the indemnification obligation provided in paragraph (a) or (b) above. The indemnifying party shall be entitled to assume the defense of any such claim and to appoint counsel of the indemnifying party’s choice at the indemnifying party’s expense to represent the indemnified party in any action for which indemnification is sought (in which case the indemnifying party shall not thereafter be responsible for the fees and expenses of any separate counsel retained by the indemnified party or parties except as set forth below); provided, however, that such counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. Notwithstanding the indemnifying party’s election to appoint counsel to represent the indemnified party in an action, the indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel, and the indemnifying party shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel if (i) the use of counsel chosen by the indemnifying party to represent the indemnified party would present such counsel with a conflict of interest, (ii) the actual or potential defendants in, or targets of, any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party, and the indemnified party reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, (iii) the indemnifying party did not employ counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of the institution of such action or (iv) the indemnifying party authorized the indemnified party to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party. The indemnifying party shall indemnify and hold harmless the indemnified party from and against all losses, claims, damages and liabilities by reason of any settlement of any action (i) effected with its written consent or (ii) effected without its written consent if the settlement is entered into more than twenty Business Days after the indemnifying party shall have received a request from the indemnified party for reimbursement for the fees and expenses of counsel (in any case where such fees and expenses are at the expense of the indemnifying party) and, prior to the date of such settlement, the indemnifying party shall have failed to comply with such reimbursement request. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel, an indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of the nature contemplated by the immediately preceding sentence effected without its consent if such indemnifying party (i) reimburses such indemnified party in accordance with such request to the extent that it considers such request to be reasonable and (ii) provides written notice to the indemnified party substantiating the unpaid balance as unreasonable, in each case, prior to the date of settlement. An indemnifying party shall not, without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding for which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or

potential parties to such claim or action), unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding and does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of the indemnified party.

(d) In the event that the indemnity provided in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 7 is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party for any reason, then each applicable indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall to the extent permitted by law have a joint and several obligation to contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending same) (collectively “Losses”) to which such indemnified party may be subject in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of such indemnifying party, on the one hand, and such indemnified party, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such Losses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. Relative fault shall be determined by reference to whether any alleged untrue statement or omission relates to information provided by the indemnifying party, on the one hand, or by the indemnified party, on the other hand. The parties agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution were determined by pro rata allocation or any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above. Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph (d), no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 7, each person who controls a Holder within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act and each director, officer, employee and agent of such Holder shall have the same rights to contribution as such Holder, and each person who controls the Company within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act, each officer of the Company who shall have signed the Shelf Registration Statement and each director of the Company shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company, subject in each case to the applicable terms and conditions of this paragraph (d). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the obligations of each Holder hereunder are several and not joint.

(e) The provisions of this Section 7 shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Holder or the Company or any of the officers, directors or controlling persons referred to in Section 7 hereof, and will survive the sale by a Holder of Registrable Securities.

SECTION 8 RULE 144

The Company agrees with each Holder for so long as any Registrable Securities remain outstanding and during any period in which the Company is subject to Section 13 or 15 (d) of the Exchange Act, to make all filings required thereby in a timely manner in order to permit resales of such Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 144.

SECTION 9 MISCELLANEOUS

(a) Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement, including the provisions of this sentence, may not be amended, qualified, modified or supplemented, and

waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given, unless the Company has obtained the written consent of the Majority Holders. Notwithstanding the foregoing (except the foregoing proviso), a waiver or consent to depart from the provisions hereof, with respect to a matter which relates exclusively to the rights of Holders whose securities are being sold pursuant to a Shelf Registration Statement and does not directly or indirectly adversely affect the rights of other Holders, may be given by the majority of such Holders, determined on the basis of the amount of Registrable Securities being sold rather than registered under such Shelf Registration Statement.

(b) Notices. All notices and other communications provided for or permitted hereunder shall be made in writing by hand-delivery, first-class mail, telex, telecopier, or air courier guaranteeing overnight delivery:

(i) if to a Holder, at the most current address given by such Holder to the Company in accordance with the provisions of this Section 9(b), which address initially is, with respect to each Holder, the address of such Holder set forth in the Notice and Questionnaire;

(ii) if to the Company, initially at 2160 Gold Street, Alviso, CA 95002, Attn: General Counsel;

(iii) with a copy in like manner to Latham & Watkins, initially at 505 Montgomery Street, Suite 1900, San Francisco, CA 94111, Attn: Laura L. Gabriel, Esq. and Keith Benson, Esq.

All such notices and communications shall be deemed to have been duly given when received.

The Company, by notice to the Holders, may designate additional or different addresses for subsequent notices or communications.

(c) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the successors and assigns of each of the parties hereto, including, without the need for an express assignment or any consent by the Company thereto, subsequent Holders of Registrable Securities. The Company hereby agrees to extend the benefits of this Agreement to any Holder of Registrable Securities and any such Holder may specifically enforce the provisions of this Agreement as if an original party hereto.

(d) Counterparts. This agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

(e) Headings. The headings in this agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof.

(f) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be deemed to be a contract made under the laws of New York, and for all purposes shall be governed by and construed in accordance

with the laws of New York, including, without limitation, Section 5-1401 of the New York General Obligations Law.

(g) Severability. In the event that any one or more of the provisions contained herein, or the application thereof in any circumstances, is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect for any reason, the validity, legality and enforceability of any such provision in every other respect and the remaining provisions hereof shall not be in any way impaired or affected thereby, it being intended that all of the rights and privileges of the parties shall be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

(h) Securities Held by the Company, etc. Whenever the consent or approval of Holders of a specified percentage of Registrable Securities is required hereunder, Registrable Securities held by the Company or its Affiliates (other than subsequent Holders of Registrable Securities if such subsequent Holders are deemed to be Affiliates solely by reason of their holdings of such Registrable Securities) shall not be counted in determining whether such consent or approval was given by the Holders of such required percentage or Registrable Securities.

(i) Entire Agreement. This Agreement is intended by the parties as a final expression of their agreement and intended to be a complete and exclusive statement of the agreement and understanding of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter contained herein. There are no restrictions, promises, warranties or undertakings, other than those set forth or referred to herein with respect to the registration rights granted with respect to the Registrable Securities. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings between the parties with respect to such subject matter.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Agreement as of the date first written above.
